"Compared with current standards, Euro VI emissions standards challenge engine manufacturers to reduce nitrogen oxides by about 80 percent. BorgWarner's latest turbocharging technologies help satisfy these standards with the added bonus of improving fuel economy and engine performance," said Pete Kohler, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems Commercial Diesel Products. "Our highly-efficient turbocharging technologies provide OEMs with state-of-the-art powertrain solutions for on-and off-highway applications."
The new Mercedes-Benz medium-duty engines cover the 5.1-liter four-cylinder OM 934 engine and the 7.7-liter six-cylinder OM 936 engine with a power range of 115 kW (156 HP) to 260 kW (354 HP). Both engines are equipped with variants of BorgWarner B-series turbochargers. The standard variant of both engines comes with the latest B-series turbocharger while the high-performance variant features BorgWarner's R2S turbocharging technology, featuring a small high-pressure turbocharger and a larger low-pressure B2 turbocharger. BorgWarner's recent B-series turbocharging advancements include titanium compressor wheels as well as electric actuators for the wastegate and turbine bypass control. BorgWarner also integrated parts of the exhaust manifold into the turbine housing of these applications for improved thermodynamics, compact packaging and simplified installation during the engine build.

Wayne Thiebaud
A Colorful Palette
Wayne Thiebaud
Wayne Thiebaud Is Not a Pop Artist
He's best known for his bright paintings of pastries and cakes, but they represent only a slice of the American master's work
By Cathleen McGuigan
Among the familiar Wayne Thiebaud paintings on display at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento—the still lifes of gumball machines and voluptuous bakery cakes, the brightly dressed, sober-faced figures, the San Francisco cityscapes with their daredevil inclines—was one mysterious picture, unlike anything else in the exhibition. It was a darkly comic painting of a man in a business suit hanging on for dear life from the limb of a leafless tree, his briefcase tossed on the grass below. A downtown city street loomed beyond the little park where this puzzling drama was playing out. Was the man trying to climb up or down? And why was he there? Thiebaud tries to explain: "Essentially, it's about urban atmosphere, and the need to escape it." But Man in Tree illustrates something else. Dated "1978-2010" on the wall label, it's a testament to Thiebaud's tireless pursuit of the challenge of painting—in this case, a 32-year run during which he started the picture, stopped and revisited it again and again, delving into its forms and colors, light and shadows, even when he felt as stuck as the man in the tree.
Thiebaud (pronounced tee-bow) may be the hardest-working artist in America. The Crocker's retrospective this past fall, "Wayne Thiebaud: Homecoming," honored the longtime resident and coincided with a milestone—he turned 90 in November. But the painter seems many years younger. A legendary teacher at nearby University of California at Davis, he retired at age 70 but has continued to give his hugely popular classes as professor emeritus. Friends say his energy hasn't flagged. Indeed, he draws or paints nearly every day and plays tennis about three times a week.
In a contemporary art world enthralled with such stunts as Damien Hirst's diamond-encrusted skull, Thiebaud is wonderfully ungimmicky. He belongs more to a classical tradition of painting than to the Pop revolution that first propelled him to national attention in the 1960s. Then, the sweet everydayness of his cake and pie pictures looked like cousins of Andy Warhol's soup cans. But where Warhol was cool and ironic, Thiebaud was warm and gently comic, playing on a collective nostalgia just this side of sentimentality. He pushed himself as a painter—experimenting with brushstrokes, color, composition, light and shadow. The cylindrical cakes and cones of ice cream owed more to such masters of the still life as the 18th-century French painter Chardin, or the 20th-century Italian Giorgio Morandi, as critics have pointed out, than to the art trends of the time.
Over the years Thiebaud has repeatedly tackled the same subjects—not to perfect a formula but to keep exploring the formal possibilities of painting. "What kinds of varying light can you have in one painting?" he asks. "Direct glaring light, then fugitive light, then green glow. It's a very difficult challenge." We're standing in a quiet room at the Crocker, in front of Bakery Case, painted in 1996, three decades after his first successful gallery show in New York City featured baked goods.
Bakery Case, with its half-empty tray of frosted doughnuts, pies and a festooned wedding cake, summons references to influential artists such as Bonnard and Matisse, as well as Josef Albers' color theory that the perception of color is altered by the colors around it. When Thiebaud paints an object or form, he famously surrounds it with multiple colors, often stripes or lines, of equal intensity, to create a halo effect—though you might not notice that unless you look closely. "They're fighting for position," he says of the colors. "That's what makes them vibrate when you put them next to each other."
The cakes and pies, the best known of Thiebaud's work, are painted from his imagination and from long-ago memories of bakeries and diners. But he also paints from life. He points to the woman in the short skirt in his Two Seated Figures (1965). "Those are a lot like Rubens' knees!" he says. He likes to say he steals from the best. The woman with the pinkish cupid-like knees is his favorite muse, his wife of 51 years, Betty Jean. Other pictures in the show reflect their life together: scenes from Laguna Beach, where they have a second home; the streetscapes of San Francisco, where he had a studio in the 1970s; a pair of beautiful drawings of their two sons as little boys. (Thiebaud has two daughters from an earlier marriage.) As we move through the galleries, we begin to collect a dozen or so museum visitors, who are surprised to discover the celebrated artist in the midst of his own show. They listen to every word of his mini-tutorial, and two take his picture with their cellphones.
"Now, here's this mess," says Thiebaud, with typical self-deprecating humor, as we head toward a wall with several landscape paintings. They represent a new direction in his work begun about 15 years ago and inspired by an almost forgotten corner of nearby countryside. South of Sacramento and a turn off the Interstate is an old state road that can take a person back in time, like an episode of the "Twilight Zone," to a California that existed long before the turn of the 21st century. As the road winds along a levee, high above the Sacramento River delta, the banks are dotted with funky fishing stations and bait and tackle shops; houseboats are moored to creaky docks; orchards and farm fields spread out like counterpanes on either side of the silvery water. Thiebaud comes here to sketch, then returns to his studio to paint.
With wildly shifting perspectives and geometric patterns created by sharp curves and hard edges, the delta paintings recall his vertiginous San Francisco cityscapes. They look like aerial views—there's barely any sky or horizon line—but there are multiple vantage points. In Brown River (2002), some fields are painted in traditional perspective while others tilt up precariously, like a view from a roller coaster. Thiebaud sometimes paints patches of fields in unexpected hues—candy pink or baby blue—with tiny stands of trees and toy-like farmhouses along their edges.

The regional carrier, which is heading for losses of more than £14m this year, is paying out £68m in air passenger duty (APD) annually - 18pc of its UK ticket revenues.
This is three times the percentage paid by rivals British Airways and easyJet as a bigger proportion - three quarters - of Flybe's passengers fly on domestic routes, obliging them to pay APD twice.
APD is levied on all flights that depart a UK airport and Britain has the highest rate in the world, according to the Fair Tax on Flying campaign group.
Flybe chief executive Jim French, who along with other executive directors will forfeit one month's pay to help stem losses, said the carrier would generate a "nice healthy profit" if it paid the same in percentage terms as its competitors.
Reducing Flybe's APD bill to 6pc of UK ticket revenues would result in a £45m lower tax burden each year, Mr French said, adding that he has spoken to the Prime Minister's advisers, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Transport Secretary about the burden of APD.
The airline is urging its staff and unions to lobby the Government to introduce a two-tier regime, which would see passengers flying from regional airports pay less in tax and those departing from one of the London airports shoulder a slightly greater cost.
"You could significantly reduce the charges of APD in the regional aviation and domestic sector with a relatively small increase in the departure tax out of the London airports, where disposal income is much higher, where businesses are more successful and where there is a high congestion charge," Mr French said.
APD is a tax levied on passengers through their ticket price but Mr French said due to the consumer downturn the airline has been unable to pass on all costs to customers and had to help meet the bill through savings.
A spokesman for the Treasury refuted that tax was to blame for the 300 job losses.
"The Government took action to freeze Air Passenger Duty in 2011, even after last year's rise most passengers will only pay an extra £1 in APD. The airline industry also benefits from an historically low rate of corporation tax, the fact that the UK does not levy VAT on domestic flights and aviation fuel not being taxed," the Treasury spokesman said.
Flybe on Wednesday unveiled the first part of a major restructuring programme, designed to return its UK business to profit in the 2014/15 financial year.
The overhaul, which will cost £10m-£12m in order to save £35m by 2014/15, will see Flybe axe about 10pc of its 3,000-strong workforce in the UK, including 20pc of management roles.
The group and operating boards will also be slimmed down and the company's five executive directors, including Mr French, will surrender a month's pay. Mr French is on a basic salary of £510,000.
The carrier will also conduct a "thorough review" of its route network.
Flybe is hoping to reduce its reliance on the UK domestic market, which has slumped by a fifth in the last five years, by operating more planes on contract for European carriers.
In the three months to December 31, £46.1m of Flybe's £193.9m revenue under management was generated by contract flying.
Flybe has issued five profit warnings since floating at 295p a share in 2010.
On Wednesday it confirmed that has held talks with Ryanair about possibly taking over some Aer Lingus routes in the event that European competition authorities agree to the low cost carrier's proposed takeover of Ireland's national airline.

Every year at Thanksgiving, there comes a moment after dinner when I need to escape.
I should say up front that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I revel in it. But no matter how much fun we are having, no matter how full my heart is with good will and satisfaction and joy, I reach a point when everything becomes too much. An aural assault. I feel an overpowering urge to step outside into the November night air.
Each year I make the same excuse to myself –I just need to shake out the crumbs from the tablecloth—and step onto the front porch. The blast of cold air on my face is bracing. Reviving. Sound falls away and the world goes silent.
This year, as I took in great gulps of wintry cold air, it struck me: This is how Mickey must feel, when he reaches the tipping point of sensory overload and says, "I've had enough."
When Mickey was 8 and Jonathan 13, we flew to Arizona for our niece's bat mitzvah. Mickey fidgeted but managed to sit through the religious service, even singing along to familiar songs. At the end of the ceremony, we moved across the hall into the banquet room. We slammed up against a wall of thrumming music and flashing lights. Mickey flung himself to the floor and clutched his hands over his ears. People stared. Then they stepped over him.
Embarrassed, I tried to coax him up. He wouldn't budge. "This isn't going to work," my husband Marc said. "I'll go back to the hotel with him."
"But your family is all here, I don't want you to miss out," I said. "You and Jonathan should stay. I'll take Mickey back."
We returned to our spacious, serene suite. I called room service and ordered Mickey's favorite meal: a burger and fries. After dinner he played with his Game Boy. I read a novel. We were both perfectly happy. The truth? I don't like loud parties either.
Having a child with these sensitivities opened a window into myself. I always hated crowded rooms. Strobe lights. Roller coasters. I thought it was a character flaw. I didn't realize it was just the way I was wired.
Just the way he is wired.
"I've had enough." He says it adamantly, often while the rest of us are still having fun. For years, I cajoled. Reasoned. Even bribed him. I wanted him to sit longer at religious services. Stay later at the party. Last through the movie.
Did I have my own agenda? Was it more about my desires than his? Or am I beating myself up too much? Mickey has always resisted anything unfamiliar, whether tasting a vegetable or trying an art class. I believe it's my job as his parent to expose him to as many new experiences as I can. I want to open the richness of the world to him. When is it okay to push? How hard? When to pull back? It's an intricate dance.
It has taken me a long time to understand that he doesn't mean to be difficult or self-absorbed. He is simply advocating for what he needs. Just as I need my moments of respite and retreat, Mickey does too.
Which is a good thing. A marvelous thing, in fact.
Standing there Thanksgiving night, inhaling the cold, restorative air, I shook out more than tablecloth crumbs.

The project, which began last summer, is almost finished, as work on the tie-ins to the bridge need to be completed and the temporary road needs removed.
Deborah L. Casadei, M.B.A., District Press officer for PennDOT Engineering District 10, said the traffic pattern change occurred Monday evening.
The bridge over Big Run Creek is located between Smyers and Caroline streets in Big Run.
Casadei said the project involved the replacement of the existing structure with a single-span composite steel I-beam bridge.
The project was held up last summer due to the use of foreign steel that the contractor, Russell Standard Corporation, of Bridgeville, Allegheny County, was going to use to construct the temporary bypass bridge.
Instead of a bridge, a temporary bypass road was constructed through the use of culverts that allowed the creek to pass underneath the temporary roadway and bridge construction site.
Work, including sidewalks and curbs as well as paving on the Route 119, will continue on the $1.9 million project, Casadei said, adding that the project is expected to be complete by June 13.
Casadei said since Russell Standard still has to remove the temporary roadway, there will be flagging operations for traffic control.
Motorists are advised to anticipate traffic delays and be prepared to stop. Motorists are also asked to turn on their headlights, slow down and exercise caution when traveling through work zones.
For more information on the bridge construction and maintenance operations, access PennDOT District 10's Web site a www.dot.state.pa.us/district10.

"Buddhist economics" didn't allow for unlimited growth and consumption but emphasized the use of renewable resources.
E.F. Schumacher didn't mind when fellow economists dismissed his unorthodox ideas and called him a crank. He chose to take it as a compliment, reasoning that "the crank is the part of the machine which creates revolution and it is very small. I am a small revolutionary!" Schumacher would in fact build his legacy around the idea of small, which in the world of economics is a revolutionary feat indeed.
Born in Germany in 1911, Schumacher studied in England as a Rhodes scholar and later taught economics at Columbia University and Oxford. A protégé of John Maynard Keynes, Schumacher influenced his eminent mentor's proposal for the postwar currency system that would become the International Monetary Fund. After World War II he aided the British government in the effort to reconstruct the collapsed German nation. From there he moved to the Times newspaper – the heart of the British establishment – where he penned editorials criticizing the Labour government's ambitious nationalization plans. In addition to all his endeavors in the private sector, Schumacher served as chief economist for the National Coal Board for 20 years.
Early in his tenure at the Coal Board, Schumacher was sent on a mission to Burma to teach its citizens how to achieve progress by following the Western model of economic growth. Once there, he quickly surmised that the Burmese were better served drawing from their own traditions rather than from Western ones. He coined the term "Buddhist economics" to describe a model that, in complete opposition to its Western counterpart, didn't allow for unlimited growth and consumption but emphasized the use of renewable resources.
To those who questioned the relevance of Eastern philosophy to economics, Schumacher replied: "Economics without Buddhism, i.e., without spiritual, human and ecological values, is like sex without love."
He later returned to the Coal Board, but working at one of the largest commercial organizations of the day contributed to Schumacher's deep-seated conviction that large-scale technologies were dehumanizing. His experiences had led him to conclude that "man is small and, therefore, small is beautiful." It was this syllogism that inspired the title of his 1973 treatise Small Is Beautiful, a sweeping indictment of the neoclassical model. The work introduced Schumacher's concept of "natural capital" and outlined an alternative economy based on human-scale, decentralized and appropriate technologies that has inspired generations of environmentalists. To the very end of his life, Schumacher lived by his own prescriptions. He baked his family's weekly bread supply with locally procured organic wheat that he ground himself in a hand-operated flour mill.
Schumacher died in 1977 but his followers still advance his prescient economic vision through societies founded in his honor. The Intermediate Technology Development Group (itdg), founded by Schumacher, continues his work by promoting poverty reduction in the developing world through sustainable technology. Today itdg continues to demonstrate the wisdom of Schumacher's words, proving that small is not only beautiful … it has the potential to be prosperous.

Anyone who appreciates the beauty of fall colors will have a hard time believing their eyes upon a trip to Lake Geneva in the fall. Due to a little known secret, Lake Geneva has always been the place for the most dramatic, longest lasting color display. If you are planning a trip to Lake Geneva this autumn, you can be sure to thank America's foremost landscape architects for the spectacular view.
When many of Chicago's elite built estates on Lake Geneva beginning in the late 1800s, they didn't stop with just their mansions. Several went on to hire America's foremost landscape architects to design the grounds. For estates like Wrigley's Green Gables, a top request was to have the longest lasting color display possible. So, architects carefully selected landscapes that yielded specific colors from a wide species of trees and shrubs. Beginning in early September, trees begin to be dotted with yellow accents, followed by bursts of burnt orange, dashes of fiery red and ending with a finale of caramel brown in late November.
According to John Notz, Jr., a Chicago lawyer and amateur historian, these "artists" who helped to paint the area with beautiful fall colors included John Charles Olmsted, son of the founder of American landscape architecture; Jens Jensen, Danish landscape architect of Humboldt Park in Chicago's West Town neighborhood and Olof Benson, designer of Chicago's Lincoln Park North Pond.
For the grounds at Grommes' Allview estate, Danish landscape architect Jens Jensen designed enchanting woods on the lake side of the residence with a mile-long "maple alley" – a winding path lined with brilliant orange in the fall. The Allview site exalted nature and explored new ways to relate buildings to landscapes.
Several substantial landscape projects around Lake Geneva, including the estates of Hutchinson, Harris, Swift, Bartlett and the Yerkes Observatory, were designed by John Charles Olmsted. He was heavily influenced by his father's work, especially having grown up in a small home in the middle of Central Park during the construction of his father's design for the park. Brothers John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. went on to create the largest landscape architecture firm in America.
For the famed Wychwood estate, a country home for then president of the Art Institute of Chicago Charles Hutchinson and his wife, the Olmsteds left many of the native trees undisturbed. The estate is prized for its flower and wildlife sanctuary, and was once in the trust of The University of Chicago for use as a research site. Named for the witch hazel that grows wild on the land, the bright green foliage becomes magenta in the fall.
Black walnut trees are what give Black Point Estate, an 1888 Victorian home landscaped by Olof Benson, its name. Since walnut trees quickly shed their leaves in the fall, it is a rare treasure to catch them when they burst with bright, yellow color. However, one can still enjoy the estate after this magnificent display – the fallen leaves are highly aromatic when walked upon and crushed.
There are many ways to enjoy the fall colors in the Lake Geneva area – whether by foot, boat, car, rail, bicycle or air. One of the best drives in the area is Snake Road, a three-mile-long, wooded, winding road off of Highway 50 on the northeast end of Geneva Lake. Another leisurely ride is Rustic Road 12 in nearby Lyons.
If you prefer an even slower pace, a hike on the 21-mile Geneva Lake shore path affords up-close views of fall foliage along with a peek at grand estates on the water. Great hiking can also be found in nearby conservancies, preserves and Big Foot Beach State Park. In addition to foot paths, biking trails are plentiful, with routes both to and from downtown on the Lake Geneva bike path.
For those looking to kick back while enjoying the scenery, the Lake Geneva Cruise Line continues daily water tours through October. Signature cruises that complement the fall palette include a Sunday morning champagne brunch or a sultry, jazz dinner cruise every Friday night. Other slow-rolling tours include horse and carriage rides and a vintage trolley that operates 10-mile round trips from its East Troy depot.
And for a single glimpse that says it all, catch a bird's eye view in a hot air balloon ride. Daily tours glide over the area at sunrise and two hours before sunset.
No matter how you choose to enjoy Lake Geneva in the fall, it's bound to be a picture perfect escape.
Grace Eckland is the Director of Marketing and PR for the Lake Geneva Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. To learn more about Lake Geneva, visit lakegenevawi.com or connect with them on at Facebook.com/mylakegeneva or on Twitter at @mylakegeneva.

High school seniors nationwide are preparing to graduate, receiving college acceptance letters and possibly enrolling in a college or university. The challenging economy has made many of these young adults acutely aware of the important role their degree can play when they face commencement once again, this time entering the job market.
Some schools offer degree programs that address the skills required to enter fast-growing fields, such as cyber security, cloud computing, health care and accounting - U.S. News & World Report included accounting in its ranking of 25 Best Jobs in 2012. This strong connection to a promising career path can be attractive to prospective students.
Careers in technology are growing up to three times faster than other fields. For students interested in pursuing employment in this thriving industry, ComputerWorld recently outlined the "10 hot IT skills for 2013." Cloud computing was among the most coveted skills. Though relatively unfamiliar to the average consumer, this data management knowledge drives the services that support many of today's businesses.
Similarly, cyber security professionals will play an integral role in keeping information safe as the majority of companies' assets move online. According to Today's Engineer, the monthly Web publication of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the cyber security field is growing "in leaps and bounds."
Employment in health care fields is also on the rise. An aging population of baby boomers and expanded access to health care has placed growing pressure on the health care industry to add workers in fields ranging from health information systems and biomedical engineering technology to nursing and ambulatory care.

It seems that way too frequently I have to tell people, "the market is soft right now for this or that." So last month I wrote about something that is selling relatively well: Danish modern furniture. Actually, plenty of non-Danish modern furniture is also strong in the marketplace, so this month I will touch on that.
I will start with some examples of modern furniture that have sold at auction this year. This will give us insight into what the market is right now.
Unsigned or unimportant signatures bring only modest bids and that is to be expected. A pair of mid-century modern swivel chairs made by Prestige Furniture Corp. sold for $100. A fiberglass black and white dining room suite could not fetch an $800 opening bid.
A Grasshopper Lounge chair made by Preben Fabricius and Jorgen Kastholm sold for $4,000. And $1,100 was paid for a Renzo Rutili sideboard. Eight matching Jay Spectre side chairs were claimed by a bidder for $550.
An unsigned extensive set of cast aluminum patio furniture sold for $2,800. A table with 10 chairs made by Nicole Miller sold for $600. Six modern stacking chairs by David Rowland brought $100.
What we can gather from this little glimpse of 2013 sales is that modern furniture is pretty strong and saleable, but who designed and made it is tremendously important in determining the price.
Now I will turn our attention to some of the designers/ manufacturers whose names add a significant premium to a piece of modern furniture.
A coffee table called Tugendhat by Lidwig Mies Van Der Rohe surprised a lot of people when it brought $270,000 in a 2012 auction. But all of Van Der Rohe's designs are not so expensive. A lounge chair sold for $2,100; a pair of ottomans sold for $800; and a glass/chrome table brought $ 325.
Oddly, a pair of his famous "Mr." chairs only brought $ 350.
A sculpted oak sleigh chair was one of the early and important pieces designed by Wendell Castle. When one was offered in 2008, it sold for $170,000.
One of his molar chairs (white molded plastic that looks like a giant molar) sold for $800. A pair of ribbon mahogany arm chairs did well at $5,000. A sculptural desk made from birds eye maple and fiberglass sold for $15,000. And, saving the best for last, a very cool-looking music stand by Castle sold for $27,000.
I suggest someone buy one for Dr. Joiner of the Hendersonville Symphony. (Speaking of the Hendersonville Symphony, you can support it by attending the annual Black & White Ball on May 18.) There are dozens of big names in modern furniture. Arguably the most important designer is George Hakashima. He was a Japanese-American who was interned during World War II from March 1942 until some time in 1943.
His designs often have a craft look and consistently sell for good money: A settee sold for $10,000; A dresser, $11,000; an occasional table, $750; and a hanging shelf, $8,500.
There also have been big-money pieces that sold because his name was on them. A dining table sold for $266,000 (with chairs). A rosewood dining table — $210,000. A set of six chairs brought $190,000. He was definitely one of the best of the best.
It is not always who made a piece, but sometimes it;s who owned. One of the most prominent names in architecture in the 20th century was Greene & Greene. The architectural cabinet of Charles Sumner Greene sold for $290,000.
If you have modern furniture, I suggest you crawl underneath it to see who made it.

Classifying 3D Figures
Lesson 8 of 19
Objective: SWBAT: • Define and identify edges, faces, and vertices on 3D figures • Identify and classify prisms, pyramids, and curved solids.
Big Idea: How are these two figures similar? How are they different? Students learn vocabulary words so they can precisely classify 3D solids.
Do Now
See my Do Now in my Strategy folder that explains my beginning of class routines.
Often, I create do nows that have problems that connect to the task that students will be working on that day. Today I want students to think about what they already know about the words "three-dimensional" and "3D". Some students may think about 3D movies while other students may mention length, width, and height.
I call on a student to share one idea. That student then calls on the next student to share his/her idea. I encourage students to build on what their classmates have said by using sentence starters like, "I agree/disagree with __________ because…" and "My idea connects with ____________'s idea…" Students are engaging in MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Resources (3)
I read over the definition and the question. I tell students that they can jot down short observations rather than writing complete sentences. Students may not be familiar with vocabulary words that help them describe the similarity and differences between these two figures and that is okay. We will revisit this question at the end of the lesson. I quickly call on a few students to share out observations.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Learn Zillion Video
I give students a minute to preview the video notes before we begin. Students fill out the notes as we watch the video. I frequently pause the video so students have time to fill in their notes.
Students work on the guided practice questions independently. Students participate in a Think Pair Share about their answers. I call on students to share out their answers. I ask, "What is the difference between a pyramid and a prism?" I want students to be able to define prism and pyramid. I stress that a prism is made up of faces that are polygons.

Classifying 3D Figures
- Before this lesson I Create Heterogeneous Groups.
- For this lesson I have a set of 3D figures for each group. Here is an example
- I Post A Key of the 3D figures chart.
I introduce the task to the students. I show them the "Naming Three-Dimensional Figures" sheet. I pick out the cube (which I labeled as figure 1). I call on students to ask and answer the questions on the sheet. I ask a student to define "congruent". Once we have identified it as a cube, I ask for volunteers to identify and count the faces, edges, and vertices.
I review expectations and announce groups. I pass out the materials to groups. As students work I walk around and monitor student progress and behavior. I take note of figures that multiple groups are struggling to classify.
If students are struggling I encourage them to use their notes and the "Naming Three-Dimensional Figures" sheet. Students have all the resources they need to determine each figure's name and characteristics. Students are engaging in MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others and MP6: Attend to precision.
When a group completes the chart, they raise their hands. I quickly scan their work. If they are on track, I send them to check with the key. If there are problems, I tell students what they need to revise. If students successfully complete the chart they can work on the extra practice.
Resources (6)
Closure and Ticket to Go
I have students flip to the Closure problem. I read the prompt and remind students that they now should be able to use specific vocabulary words to describe the similarities and differences. Students participate in a Think Pair Share. I call on students to share their ideas. I push students to be as specific and precise as possible with their observations. I want students to be able to explain that figure A is a prism while figure B is a pyramid. Although the names of these figures are not on the naming sheet I push students to come up with names before I tell them the names. Students are engaging in MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, MP6: Attend to precision, and MP7: Look for and make sense of structure.
I pass out the Ticket to Go and the HW Classifying 3D Figures.

The story of the Huguenots in Ireland is a complicated one, beginning in the early 1500's when Protestant religions (mostly the teachings of Calvin), arrived in Catholic France. A number of civil wars ensued. Thousands of French Protestants were massacred on St. Bartholomew's Day, 25 August 1572. The Edict of Nantes brought a period of religious freedom after 1598, but by 1628 the persecutions were back in full swing. The Edict of Nantes was revoked in 1685.
|Were my Irish Large ancestors French?
I don't know, but will use any excuse
for a trip to Paris!
Huguenots fled to England, the American colonies, and other European countries. They came to Ireland, many brought in groups by the British, many fleeing on their own, some via the British military. Most of those who arrived in Ireland did so in the 1600's. The first major group was composed of weavers. Later in the 1600's, bankers, soldiers, financiers, and other professions followed. Small in number, they had a broad influence on Ireland. Eventually, they were absorbed into the Irish population. Often, surnames, cemeteries, street names, and buildings are the only echos of the French roots.
Many times the French worshipped at a "French Church," which was often a local church of the Church of Ireland that permitted French services. Over the years, most of these congregations were absorbed into the Church of Ireland system.Sometimes, researchers discover their Huguenot ancestry through a French surname. But often, these names, too, were absorbed into English and phonetic spellings. Some surnames in Ireland with possible Huguenot roots include some surprises such as Cobb/Cobbe, Devenny, Rainey, Dennis/Denis, Hammond/Hammon, Jolly/Joly, and Terson (disclaimer: do not assume Huguenot roots simply on the basis of a surname) .
I stumbled upon the history of the Huguenots in Ireland while researching my surname Large. While I do not know if my Irish Large family includes any Huguenots, the name Large/LeLarge is a common Huguenot surname. It also has Norman roots, so I cannot be sure of where or when any possible French genes entered my family line.
Huguenot settlements are found the length of Ireland: Belfast, Lisburn, Dundalk, Dublin, Portarlington, Carlow, Kilkenny, and Cork are just some of the sites of settlements and churches.
I am not advocating that researchers go on fishing expeditions for Huguenot ancestors. But, if the clues are popping up in your Irish research, and local history includes Huguenot settlements, some research into French Church records or Huguenot history just might break a brick wall.

Joseph Dines with His Brothers
The broad bean, also known as the fava bean (fulmedames), was widely cultivated in Egypt during biblical times, and the ancient Egyptians stocked the tombs of the dead with dried favas to provision life in the hereafter. Alone, fava beans can be a bit bland, but this combination of favas and scrambled eggs is quite tasty.
Soak the beans for 12 hours, or overnight if possible. Drain; cover with fresh water in a large saucepan. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour. (Add water if necessary.)
Drain once again. In a large bowl, add the beans, garlic, onions, parsley, green pepper, red pepper, and mash. Served with scrambled eggs, either mixed in or as a side dish.
Yield: 6 servings
11 Their father Israel gave in. "If it has to be, it has to be. But do this: stuff your packs with the finest products from the land you can find and take them to the man as gifts— some balm and honey, some spices and perfumes, some pistachios and almonds.
12 "And take plenty of money— pay back double what was returned to your sacks; that might have been a mistake.
13 "Take your brother and get going. Go back to the man."
"Gum, balm and myrrh, honey, and nuts—all are packed into the saddle bags of the asses, loaded for the long journey southward."
31 Then Joseph washed his face, got a grip on himself, and said, "Let's eat."
32 Joseph was served at his private table, the brothers off by themselves and the Egyptians off by themselves (Egyptians won't eat at the same table with Hebrews; it's repulsive to them).
33 The brothers were seated facing Joseph, arranged in order of their age, from the oldest to the youngest. They looked at one another wide-eyed, wonder ing what would happen next.
34 When the brothers' plates were served from Joseph's table, Benjamin's plate came piled high, far more so than his brothers. And so the brothers feasted with Joseph, drinking freely.
Genesis 43:11–13, 31–34, The Message
The story of Joseph and his coat of many colors is well known to most Bible readers. It is a classic tale of sibling rivalry and jealousy, a recurrent and favorite theme in the scriptures. By this point in the book of Genesis (chapter 43), Joseph encounters his brothers the day they show up in Pharaoh's court to purchase grain; they, on the other hand, do not recognize Joseph. He soon learns that there is a brother younger than he who is staying at home with Jacob while the remaining ten brothers are on their pilgrimage for food. Desirous to reacquaint himself with the youngest of his clan, Joseph sends his brothers back to their father, demanding that the youngest present himself lest all end up in prison for spying on Egypt. Simeon, one of the eldest brothers, is held as a ransom until the remaining fraternity return with the youngest, "a lad" called Benjamin.
When the brothers return to Jacob and tell him what they have learned and experienced, he is grieved and crestfallen. One son, Simeon, is now in an Egyptian jail; a second son, Joseph, had been kidnapped and is presumed dead (that's what the brothers had told their father, though they know better); and now a third, the darling of Jacob's brood, is to be taken from his household. It was more than a father could bear.
It is here that we pick up the story. Jacob, realizing that there is no other good choice, relents and lets Benjamin go, both to get food and to redeem his brother in prison. The wise old man, Jacob, knows not to send them once again to Egypt empty-handed. He instructs his sons to carry some of the "best fruits of the land" to the grand vizier's court, the delicacies and spices that had been traded with the Ishmaelites (cf. Genesis 37:25), such as gum, balm and myrrh, honey, and nuts—and all are packed into the saddlebags of the asses, loaded for the long journey southward. Jacob understands the type of man he is dealing with in Egypt, and his gifts are meant to impress and show respect for the esteemed position of the high court official. He is leaving nothing to chance, and along with the food he sends back double the money that had been secreted by Joseph's servants into the packs of his brothers when they left Egypt. Double the money, double the gifts, double the effort means double the chances he will see his sons again. In the end, he gets more than he bargains for or could ever have expected.
When the ten brothers arrive once again in Egypt, Joseph is ready for them. He has instructed the palace steward to set the stage for a meal at which Joseph will reveal his true identity. But the sight of his brothers, this time with Benjamin in tow, is more than Joseph can emotionally handle. He is forced to leave the room, weeping in combined emotions of joy, mixed with sadness at his betrayal, tempered by his own dreamlike visions that God's guidance is behind all that has happened, as well as all that is about to take place.
Getting a grip on himself, Joseph returns to the banquet room and sits to eat. The servants attend to Joseph separately, as befits his station; next the brothers, humble shepherd visitors, but aliens in the land, nonetheless; finally, the rest of the Egyptian court who have little tolerance for usurping neighbors looking for a handout. Still, the text records that all eat and drink well, and are "merry with Joseph."
The hospitality of the meal serves as an icebreaker and lays the groundwork for the big surprise that Joseph later reveals to his siblings and their father: Joseph is alive, well, and wealthy, and despite all, he forgives them and loves them, because he sees God's hand in all that has happened. He discerns that he had been chosen by God to be the savior of his brothers and their people, having been sent ahead long before to pave the way to their salvation from hunger and starvation. Joseph understands that he is the right man in the right place at the right time to fulfill what he believes to be God's plan for the people of God, in keeping with the covenant God had made with Noah centuries before.
It is clear that Joseph loved his brothers, and despite his harsh treatment of them at times (perhaps so as to not tip his hand until he determined whether they were finally trustworthy), he did lavish upon them a great meal in his own palatial setting. Such an important feast would have required planning and preparation, and perhaps a little innovation. The menu? We can't be sure, but one supposes that wheat, if in such abundance and obviously highly prized, would appear in some form or another at the table. (The KJV calls the grain "corn," but corn was unknown in the Middle East and is a product of the Americas, where Native Americans grew it as maize. Barley, or some other grain such as wheat, is what the text intends the reader to understand.) It would probably have been impolite not to serve a portion of the gifts rendered from the brothers' homeland: the balm from Gilead (in Hebrew, tsori), in this instance a kind of pistachio oil from the mastic tree;1 honey (in Hebrew, debash), the kind that was cultivated from bees; spices (in Hebrew, nekoth) of the rarest kind, especially the sweet-smelling sort; pistachios (in Hebrew, botnim) and almonds (in Hebrew, shaqed). If they ate and drank freely, there was certainly some sort of wine on hand. And a typical Egyptian meal fit for a grand vizier would undoubtedly have featured fish from the Nile, radishes, garlic, cucumbers, melons, dates, and other dried fruits, all presented in abundance (Benjamin's portion was five times that of his brothers) and fine style, well prepared, lovely to look at, tasty to shepherd and royal official alike.
As recounted in Chapter 3, Jacob fled Esau's wrath and took refuge with their Uncle Laban in Haran. On the way, he had a vision of a ladder extending from earth to heaven; angels were gliding up and down the ladder when God appeared, to renew the covenant made with Abraham and to promise that the land of Canaan would belong to Jacob's descendants. Jacob called the place Beth-el, which means "house of God."
As soon as Jacob reached Haran, he fell in love with Rachel, Laban's second daughter. To gain his uncle's permission to marry her, Jacob agreed to indenture himself to the household as a shepherd for seven years. Although Jacob had played the role of deceiver with his brother, Laban proved more adept at the game of trickery. At the end of Jacob's period of service, Laban brought Leah, his first daughter, disguised as Rachel, to the bridal chamber, tricking his nephew into marrying her and forcing him into another seven years of servitude in order to marry Rachel. A week later he was permitted to marry Rachel, and Jacob began his second seven-year term with two wives. After the period of indenture was completed, he continued to work for Laban for several more years. They agreed on dividing the herds of sheep and goats, Jacob taking only those animals that were spotted or speckled; now it was Jacob's turn to best his uncle, and he did so by somehow causing the strongest animals to bear speckled and spotted offspring. In the meantime, Jacob's family increased in number: he accepted two concubines, Bilhah and Zilpah, and they and his two wives eventually bore him twelve sons and one daughter. Their names were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulun, Issachar, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Joseph, Benjamin, and Dinah. Jacob favored Joseph because he was Rachel's first son.
After more than twenty years, Jacob decided that it was time to leave Haran and return to the land of his birth. So he assembled his family and his flocks and departed his father-in-law's house in secret. When he was not far from his destination, he received word that Esau and four hundred of his men were coming to meet him. Fearfully dispatching gifts to his brother, and in an act of cowardice sending his flocks, wives, and children to cross the Jabbok River to meet Esau ahead of him, Jacob made plans to flee—but in the night an angel came to wrestle with him, preventing him from leaving. Jacob finally bested the angel at daybreak, refusing to let the angel depart until he had received a blessing. The angel blessed Jacob with a new name, Israel (Yisrael), which means "the one who wrestled with God," "the one who overpowered God," or "God's champion." That day, Jacob reconciled with Esau, though the brothers did not remain together. Jacob and his family continued on to Shechem, where Dinah's abduction (or elopement) so angered her brothers that they destroyed the city and massacred the inhabitants. Finding himself in Beth-el again, Jacob experienced another direct encounter with God, who confirmed him in his new name and repeated the promise to give the land of Canaan to his descendants. Afterward, Jacob and his entourage went to Hebron.
In the ensuing years Joseph began to earn his brothers' enmity because he was Jacob's favorite: Jacob had indicated this by presenting Joseph with a "coat of many colors," a richly ornamented robe that symbolized the father's passing on of his inheritance to the son who would become the head of the household. In presenting such a robe to Joseph, Jacob indicated his intention to disregard longstanding tradition. Joseph was younger than all the brothers save one, and his elevation over his elders greatly angered them. Nevertheless, he naively persisted in telling them of his dreams, in which everyone, including all his older brothers, bowed down before him. Finally, Simeon and the other young men could stomach Joseph's arrogance no longer: they sold him into slavery, to a band of Ishmaelites, and told their father that a wild animal had killed Joseph. Jacob grieved his favored son and took solace in the childhood of Benjamin, his youngest.
Meanwhile, the Ishmaelites took Joseph, who was but seventeen years old, to Egypt, where he became a slave of Potiphar, captain of Pharaoh's guard. Joseph proved himself capable and was finally promoted to head of the servants, but he was imprisoned when he rebuffed the seductions of Potiphar's wife and she accused him of rape. The head jailer soon put Joseph in charge of the other prisoners, who eventually discovered Joseph's ability to interpret their dreams. The dreams of one, the royal cupbearer, predicted his reinstatement to his post, but that servant forgot all about his promise to help Joseph until, some two years later, Pharaoh had a strange dream that none of his advisors could decipher. Finally remembering his promise, the cupbearer brought Joseph to Pharaoh's attention. According to Joseph's interpretation, Pharaoh's dream predicted seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine. Impressed, Pharaoh appointed Joseph chief steward of Egypt and ordered him to store up surplus grain against the coming years of want. During these years of abundance, Joseph married Asenath, a priest's daughter, was accepted as a member of the priestly class, and had two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. After Pharaoh, Joseph was perhaps the most powerful man in Egypt—the grand vizier—all this by the time he was thirty.
Famine soon struck the region, and people from far and wide came to Egypt to buy food. In Pharaoh's name, Joseph took their money, their livestock, their land, and finally their very persons—all came to belong to Pharaoh. Some archaeological evidence indicates that this would have taken place about 1600 b.c.e., though some scholars place the date of Joseph's rise to prominence in Egypt as early as 1800 b.c.e. Still others question whether the story of Joseph in Egypt has any historical veracity.

Scott Brown to announce for U.S. Senate Thursday in Portsmouth
April 07. 2014 11:37AM
PORTSMOUTH — Republican Scott Brown will make it official Thursday as he formally announces his candidacy for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate representing New Hampshire. He will make his announcement at the Portsmouth Harborside Hotel in an event scheduled for 6 p.m.
The former senator from Massachusetts said Portsmouth played a special role in his childhood, in explaining his decision to make the announcement on the Seacoast. He recently moved into the family's summer home in Rye.
"I remember our house on Islington Street, strolling through Strawbery Banke with my grandfather, and catching a show at Prescott Park," he said, bringing attention to his Granite State connections.
"Now, Portsmouth is going to be the start of the next chapter in my life," he said.
Brown will first have to win the Republican nomination in a September primary for the opportunity to face incumbent Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in the November general election. Former U.S. Sen. Bob Smith, former state Sen. Jim Rubens and Republican activist Karen Testerman are also running for the Republican nomination.
The event is open to the public, on a first-come, first-served basis, given limited space. RSVP at http://scottbrown.com/join-scott-this-thursday/.

Placer County will hold a town hall meeting on the Tahoe Basin Community Plan Update on Wednesday, Oct. 17 in Kings Beach.
The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. in the North Tahoe Event Center, 8318 North Lake Blvd.
The meeting will be a chance for community members to learn more about the update process, the status of the community plan update, and the work being done by the county's community plan working groups.
Placer County currently has nine community plans for the Tahoe Basin. Most are joint planning documents developed about 20 years ago by the county and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA).
TRPA is in the process of updating its regional plan, and all community plans within the Tahoe Basin must be consistent with the regional plan.
Through its update process, Placer County intends to consolidate the nine plans into a single policy document with four planning areas. Each planning area will have its own distinct zoning ordinance and community-specific design guidelines.
The four planning areas include:

No real surprises there, i guess Zoysa was a bit unluckly to miss out with Kulasekara getting the last spot. Pretty pissed off they went to Arnold rather then giving Kapugedera a chance. I think it might come back to bit us in the arse, we really need a player like him to have a slog in the last 10. Probably the real area that the side last apart from back up seamers. I do hope that Bandara gets a go if we go with 5 bowlers over Kulasekara and Dilhara.

Nuwan Zoysa and Kumara Dharmasena have been treated absolutely abysmally.

My Side for the 1st Match:
Jayawardene (c)
For the only choice if whether we go for the extra bowler in Maharoof or batsmen in Arnold. Maybe it could be a option to rest Atapattu until the third match and play Silva. Also maybe we should rest Murali and play Bandara and Maharoof. But we have lost to Bangladesh before and they not playing that bad. I reckon they end of going for five bowlers and playing both Dilhara and Maharoof. We'll get rolled for 150 odd against Bangladesh and get knocked out of the cup, then again Tharanga will probably score 150 by himself.
He's better than Fernando\Maharoof, undoubtedly, and I happen to think he has real potential as a ODI bowler, thought that from the moment I saw him on debut (having read his domestic record beforehand).
But that doesn't change the fact that there've been 2 or 3 occasions recently where Nuwan Zoysa has had a far better case for selection and has been ignored.
Most ridiculous being this....
Zoysa takes 8 wickets at 15 in the warm-up games. Kulasekura takes 1 for 130-odd. Who gets picked for the First Test?
You've guessed, haven't you?
Anyway, if you believe he has potential to be a good ODI bowler, then why did you pick on him in your post and not the ridiculously pathetic Fernando?
I've picked on the ridiculously pathetic Fernando so many times I just get tired of saying the same thing.
To the certainties in life of death and taxes you can add: "Dilhara Fernando will continue to be picked for Sri Lanka no matter how many times he bowls the biggest heap of **** in history, and regardless of how well others perform relative to that".
Its hard to tell how many good young seamers are in Sri Lanka, cus so many dominate domestic cricket even more then Dilhara and Zoysa. But not many get a decent run in the national side to tell how good they are. They might get one or two games, have one bad match and we go back to Zoysa and Dilhara. There have been occassion where Zoysa has warranted selection over others, but there been a lot more occassions when the others have warrent selection over Zoysa.
Take someone like Ganegama who has been in the national squad for six months. He never got a game to show that he had improved since he was last picked. Then Zoysa has a good month of domestic cricket and he gets called back into the side. Even though Ganegama has been preforming that well for 2 years at domestic level before hand. There are a lot more fast bowlers like Ganegama who are dominating domestic cricket, but never seem to get a run infront of Zoysa or Dilhara. They might prove to be crap, but atleast they should get a decent run.
For guys like Kulasekura and Maharoof is one cus they can bowl tight lines and keep the pressure on. I think you'll find long term Kulasekura will have similar problems to Maharoof interms of letting off the pressure. But the main reason they keep getting selected is cus they can hold a bat. There are mainly other similar bowlers in Sri Lanka, but cus these two can bat the will always be selected first.
I seem to recall a guy called Ranjith a while ago, and seem to remember Gangegama, despite bowling utterly terribly, getting something of a raw deal.
Personally, though, I've always thought there was something in Zoysa, if not Fernando, and have always loved to see him and Vaas opening the bowling. Sadly it may never happen again.
Zoysa will be back his still very young, but for guys like him and Dilhara (who still young himself). They should go back to domestic cricket or Murali should get on the blower to Neil Fairborther and get them a run in league cricket in England. They just need a solid 12 months of domestic and i think they will reach their potential again.
Everytime they comeback they don't seem to every learn from their mistakes, they made last time. At their best we do have two pretty good fast bowlers to go with Malinga and Vaas. But we'll never get the most out of them until we send them the message that what they are producing is not good enough to play for Sri Lanka.
I just can't believe that Fernando is ever going to solve the problem of serial-no-balling and impossible waywardness if he hasn't by now.
Zoysa, however, has suffered from such things much more sporadically, and that's what's made me think he has more potential than dear old Dilhara Slower-Ball.
