Accessory Report: Yet Another '90s Trend That's Back
Whether you consider yourself slightly punk, a bohemian queen, or elegantly understated, you can find the right choker for you with inspiration from our celeb-studded round up featuring everyone from Nicole Richie to Rihanna.
Leave it to Rihanna to make us envy a clear spike choker that would be quite at home on a Hot Topic-loving punk teen. If you're bold enough to try the edgy choker, why not take it to the next level by pairing it with a statement jacket like the singer's checkered Saint Laurent jacket.
Get The Look:
Lockhart Baby Spike Choker ($28)
Anne V
Consider yourself a minimalist? Get yourself a Jennifer Fisher choker like Anne V's on the double. As the model demonstrated at a New York City House of Versace screening, it's the only compliment you need for a stark winter-white suit.
Get The Look:
Jennifer Fisher Brass Reverse Choker ($100)
Nicole Richie
Naturally, Richie opted for an edgy-meets-glamorous option. Her leather and chain Chanel choker adds a luxurious element to her band tee and leopard coat.
Get The Look:
SKINNY By Jessica Elliot Black & Silver Hudson Necklace ($70)
Zoe Kravitz
Never one to shy away from unconventional looks, Kravitz opted for an edgy wrap Balenciaga choker for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Los Angeles premiere. Tip: an off-the-shoulder frock like the actress's Balenciaga dress puts all eyes on your statement necklace.
Get The Look:
Alexis Bittar Hinged Infinity Collar Necklace ($195)
Doutzen Kroes
At the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in New York City, Kroes supported one of the finalists, jewelry designer Marc Alary, by sporting one of his sophisticated chokers. The open-ended piece is an unexpected choice for those seeing a more unique look.
Get The Look:
Bjorg Rose Gold Plated Choker ($710)
Leandra Medine
Strapless dresses can leave even the most confident lady feeling slightly exposed. The solution? Put a choker on it! At the ACE Awards in New York City, Medine's Dannijo bauble breaks up the swath of skin, yet doesn't compete with her Rosie Assoulin dress.
Get The Look:
Joomi Lim Luxe Double Spike Choker ($154)
Rachel Zoe
We knew the choker compliments classic and edgy styles, but we have Zoe to thank for showing us how it can lend itself to a bohemian '70s vibe just as easily. Her vintage Lanvin collar style necklace is the ideal accessory for her floppy Erik Javits hat and Stella McCartney poncho.
Get The Look:
Mango Embossed Choker ($30)
Anja Rubik
One of our favorite characteristics of the choker? It works just as well on the red carpet as it does on the street. Rubik demonstrated the latter point when she stepped out in Poland, effortlessly pairing her thin gold piece with a parka and t-shirt.
Get The Look:
Urban Outfitters Slinky Gold Choker Necklace ($18)
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Huntington-Whiteley makes even the most basic pieces look incredible (it doesn't hurt that she's a supermodel). Notice how the addition of her whisper-thin Jennifer Fisher necklace subtly elevates her blazer and t-shirt combination.
Get The Look:
Jules Smith Rose Golden Americana Choker ($98)
Venessa Arizaga Little Girl Blue Choker ($350)
Mango Metal Choker ($10) in Gold
April Soderstrom Power Chain Necklace ($48)

Electrical hike reflected in Feb. bills
Represents third hike in three years.
No nays in Gothenburg City Council chambers last week means a 6.5% rise in electrical rates.
Four councilmen, including Jim Aden before he resigned, approved the increase during the first meeting—Jan. 4—of the new year.
City officials have said the rate hike is necessary because of a 10.5% increase in Nebraska Public Power District rates.NPPD supplies the city with electricity.
The rate increase will be in bills customers receive in February.
Council members raised electrical rates 6.5% in January of 2010 and 5% in 2009 because of rising wholesale power costs.
Costs associated with the reduction of greenhouse gases in NPPD's coal-fired plants translates into higher wholesale prices, officials have said.
Reducing greenhouse gases is required under the American Clean Energy and Security Act.
In other action, the city agreed to pay Myers Construction Inc. of Broken Bow $3,000 to de-water and repair a city lift station.
The station, that carries wastewater from businesses along Platte River Drive and I-80 Pit Stop and Randazzle Cafe, was damaged last spring by heavy rain.
Officials said the rain caused groundwater to rise and blow out a plastic sump pump barrel from one of two pits in the station.
Despite the earlier drilling of four wells to de-water the pits at a cost of about $17,000, the groundwater has dropped slowly.
At the Jan. 4 meeting, Clymer said Myers Construction had installed four new sandpoint wells that had dewatered the affected area substantially.
Dwane Duckor of Myers Construction said Thursday the sandpoint wells were 20-feet deep and pumped groundwater vertically instead of horizontally as was done in the past.
Sandpoint wells are used in areas where the ground is sandy and the water table is high.
The sandpoint wells are connected to a large pump where the concrete was broken in the damaged pit.
Officials said the construction firm encased and capped the wells in concrete before last weekend's snowstorm in case they are needed again.
On another matter, the council accepted the resignation of east-ward council member Jim Aden who has moved into a home outside city limits.
Aden said he liked working with the mayor and council.
"I enjoyed the ability of everyone to come to the middle," he said. "We focused on the job and what the people of the city wanted us to do."
Mayor Joyce Hudson said Aden had done an excellent job on the council, noting that he always had the betterment of the city in mind when making decisions.
"He's a prime example of a good politician," she said.
The council then approved Hudson's recommendation of retired Gothenburg school superintendent Gary Fritch to fill out Aden's term which ends in 2012.
In other business, the council:
- approved a draw down and payment from $9,333 in Community Development Block Grant funds to contractors involved in

Contributed by Dawn Brighid
This is adapted from a recipe found on the Cooking Light website (July 2004). It's not only moist, but is also healthy with only 3 tablespoons of oil compared to many recipes that call for 1 cup per loaf. With whole wheat, 2 cups of zucchini and nuts, it is a delicious and healthy treat!
3⁄4 cup organic brown sugar
3 tablespoons oil (I used 1 olive & 2 canola)
2 large eggs from free roaming chickens
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup organic apple sauce
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded organic zucchini
1⁄2 cup (heaping) organic semi sweet chocolate chips
1⁄2 cup (heaping) walnuts pieces
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place first 4 ingredients in a large bowl and mix at low speed until well blended. I used my Grandmothers hand mixer, and it worked great! Then stir in the applesauce.
Combine flour and next 3 ingredients and mix together with a whisk. Add flour mixture to the wet mix, beating until moist. Stir in the zucchini, chocolate chips and walnuts.
Spoon batter into loaf pan (coat pan with olive oil) and bake at 350 for about 55 minutes. Check by inserting a wooden toothpick (I used a wooden chopstick) in the center. If is comes out almost clean, it's perfect.
Other Options
The chocolate chps and walnuts could be optional, but they make it so very yummy! And there is always the sandwich - 2 thin slices of the zucchini bread with some local organic cream cheese in the middle. YUM.
Be careful to not over cook the loaf so that it stays moist.

Have been born in Iowa tho not having been there since I was 11.(a damned long time ago)
this tickled me. And pretty typical of our "sports only" attitude.
: Iowa joke
The year is 2020 and the United States has just elected the first woman as President of the United States.
A few days after the election, the president-elect calls her father in Des Moines and asks, "So, Dad, I assume you will be coming to my inauguration?
"I don't think so. It's a long drive; your mom isn't as young as she used to be, we'll have the dog with us, and my arthritis is acting up in my knee."
"Don't worry about it, Dad, I'll send Air Force One or another support aircraft to pick you up and take you home, and a limousine will pick you up at your door," she said.
"I don't know. Everybody will be so fancy. What would your mother wear?"
"Oh, Dad," she replied, "I'll make sure she has a wonderful gown custom-made by one of the best designers in New York ."
"Honey," Dad complained, "You know we can't eat those rich foods you and your friends like to eat."
The President-elect responded, "Don't worry, Dad. The entire affair is going to be handled by the best caterer in D.C. And I'll ensure your meals are salt-free. Dad, I really want you to come."
So her parents reluctantly agreed, and on January 20, 2020 they arrived to see their daughter sworn in as President of the United States.
The parents of the new President are seated in the front row, right next to the Senate Majority Leader. The President-elect's dad leans over and whispers to the Senator, "You see that woman up there with her hand on the Bible, becoming President of the United States?"
The Senator whispered in reply, "Yes, sir, I sure do."
Dad says proudly,
"Her brother played football for the Hawkeyes".

Last fall, as he was campaigning, Texas Governor Rick Perry proudly boasted, "Texas is open for business."
Now, with a $27 billion budget shortfall and items such as education and health services subject to the chopping block, the state might not look as attractive to business as it once did.
Texas leaders have rightly touted the state as a model for growth and a magnet for business. For that goal to remain viable, however, the state must continue to improve education and health services. To become the kind of leader most Texans envision, the state needs to be among the top in educational opportunities and health care. Currently, that's not the case.
And proposed budget cuts that threaten to eliminate public school teachers, important academic programs and extra-curricular activities would further undermine any efforts to be among the elite in education providers.
One budget cut proposal would eliminate testing high school athletes for steroid use.
Early budget proposals also call for elimination of a handful of community colleges, which have been a godsend to many rural communities, providing both technical training and basic college courses at a fraction of the cost of four-year institutions.
Agriculture could feel the pain of the budget axe as well if education budgets hit the triple tines of ag education, research and Extension. State funding is essential to maintain programs that are vital to the Texas agriculture industry — and agriculture contributes significantly to the state's economy.
Deep cuts to favored programs will be necessary unless the legislature finds ways to increase revenue. Neither option is painless. Higher taxes, user fees, costlier licenses and other options have been discussed. Some would pull from Texas' "Rainy Day Fund," currently at $9.4 billion, but a sizeable block of Texas legislators object to tapping that money to escape the current budget crisis.
If this isn't a hard rain, we don't want to see one.
No easy answers await Texas legislators as they mull their options. We don't envy them the chore or the hard decisions they have to make. But, we would encourage them to take more than a short view of what's best for the state. Deep cuts in education, health and agriculture will be counterproductive.
An educated workforce is vital to the continued growth and prosperity of a community, a state or a nation. We have recently been reminded of our country's declining reputation as a leader in education. Our long-term goal must be to regain our place at the top.
Health care, too, is essential to an effective and efficient workforce and a stable community. It's a complicated issue with no easy answers, as legislators for decades have discovered. But, being hard doesn't mean something's not worth doing.
Agricultural programs continue to provide farmers, ranchers and consumers with the information and the tools necessary to make educated choices on production and consumption. Cutting back on research, education and demonstration opportunities will undermine our ability to feed and clothe our population efficiently and economically.
It's a tough year to be a Texas legislator. We just ask that they take the challenge to do what's best for all Texans.

But how to use it?
A demo of the finished product is here: http://demo.wedson.se/howto
*Please note, this webhost is very slow imho so it can be some delay when voting,but atleast you can see how it all works before trying to follow this tutorial.
What we need and want is:
*The CStarWidget (duh)
*A model which can have a rating
*A callback that runs everytime a user click on the stars.
*A backend controller action that can recieve data from the callback and update the database.
*The backend controller action also needs to return something to the widget.
*When the user has voted, the CStarWidget should become read-only ( CStarWidget has a built in option for this)
*If we put the CStarWidget in our views/modelName/_view.php it needs to get an unique name so we can know what row in the database we should update, where to show the confirmation message and which widget we should turn into read-only.
*We also want the widget to show the current average rating (and fill the stars accordingly, say a model has an average rating of 5 out of a maximum 10, we want 5 stars to be filled when the page loads)
*We want to show the current rating in decimal form, ie 7,46 aswell as the number of votes.
So we start by creating a table to store all ratings.
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `tbl_rating`; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tbl_rating` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `vote_count` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `vote_average` varchar(50) CHARACTER SET armscii8 COLLATE armscii8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '5', `vote_sum` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=3 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
Note: this is not optimized for performance.
Lets say we want the user to give a rating to our blog posts.
We add a column in our posts table, and name it rating_id.
We then go to protected/models/post.php and define a relation:
'rating'=>array( self::BELONGS_TO, 'Rating', 'rating_id'),
In posts/controller we create a new action.
This action can recieve an id from an ajaxRequest, updates the total vote count and calculate the new average and after saving the new data,it sends some information back to the view.
public function actionRating() { if ( Yii::app()->request->isAjaxRequest ) { $rating = Rating::model()->findByPk($_GET['id']); $rating->vote_count = $rating->vote_count + 1; $rating->vote_sum = $rating->vote_sum + $_GET['val']; $rating->vote_average = round($rating->vote_sum / $rating->vote_count,2); if ( $rating->save() ) { echo CJSON::encode( array ( 'status'=>'success', 'div'=>'Thank you for voting!', 'info'=>"Rating: " . $rating->vote_average ." " . $rating->vote_count . " votes", ) ); } } }
We then go to protected/views/post/_view.php
This is where we put the CStarWidget, since the file is called once for each post we have to assign an unique name for the widget. We also need unique div ids so we can present the confirmation at the right place.
<div id="rating_info_<?=$data->rating_id?>"> <?php if ( $rating = Rating::model()->findByPk($data->rating_id) ) //if the record has an rating_id we echo it { echo "Rating: " . $rating->vote_average .""; echo " " . $rating->vote_count . " votes"; } ?>
 <?php // rating $this->widget('CStarRating',array( 'name'=>'rating'.$data->rating_id, // an unique name 'starCount'=>10, 'readOnly'=>false, 'resetText'=>'', 'value'=>round($rating->vote_average,0), // this makes the widget shows the current rating rounded to //closest number(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or 10) 'callback'=>' // updates the div with the new rating info, displays a message for 5 seconds and makes the //widget readonly function(){ url = "/post/rating"; jQuery.getJSON(url, {id: '.$data->rating_id.', val: $(this).val()}, function(data) { if (data.status == "success"){ $("#rating_success_'.$data->rating_id.'").html(data.div); $("#rating_success_'.$data->rating_id.'").fadeIn("slow"); var pause = setTimeout("$(\"#rating_success_'.$data->rating_id.'\").fadeOut(\"slow\")",5000); $("#rating_info_'.$data->rating_id.'").html(data.info); $("input[id*='.$data->rating_id.'_]").rating("readOnly",true); } });}' )); ?> <div id="rating_success_<?=$data->id;?>" style="display:none">

And this is it! This way you can use one rating table for as many models as you want.
NOTE! I wrote the comments for the code here on the forum, so to be sure please remove them when u understand the code so you do not get any weird errors!
Hope it helps someone!

2012: Year of the Dragon
2011 may have been a year of werewolves, vampires and zombies, but the reign of the dragon is at hand. Jan. 23 marks the lunar new year, and the beginning of the year of the dragon in the Chinese calendar. The mythical beasts have been breathing fire and battling big-screen knights for decades. They've also appeared in friendlier incarnations, taking care of orphans ("Pete's Dragon") and helping save fantasy worlds from destruction ("The NeverEnding Story"). The winged warriors have waged a popular culture comeback recently, appearing in genre TV shows such as "Game of Thrones," "Merlin" and "Once Upon a Time," not to mention video games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. And one of the most famous dragons in literary history, J. R. R. Tolkien's Smaug from "The Hobbit," is coming to life in Peter Jackson's upcoming films. So in honor of 2012, here's a look at some of the most memorable dragons in pop culture.

What is the meaning of the term infinite heat sink on power MOS FET?
Latest Updated:03/01/2006
What is the meaning of the term "infinite heat sink" that appears on the total power dissipation vs. ambient temperature graph in power transistor and power MOS FET documentation?
This is assumed to mean "infinite heat sink ≈ Tc = 25°C". In other words, the case temperature must be kept to 25°C by attaching an extremely large heat radiator and externally dissipating the heat at the junction.

A massive cyber-attack breaks out in Estonia as widespread DDoS attacks bring down government web sites and attract the attention of NATO and the US. Was Russia responsible? Estonia says yes.
Read More
For those uninitiated: The whole thing started when Estonia decided to move a statue dedicated to the Red Army to a new location (nearby military-cemetary). In recent times, the statue had been used by the Russian minority for anti-Estonia gatherings.
Now, Russia thinks that moving that statue is "Fascism", since it's dedicated to the Red Army that "liberated" Estonia from the Nazis. But fact is that USSR occupied Estonia in 1940 and started brutal dominion over the country. In 1941 Estonia was occupied by the Nazis, and in 1944 it was re-occupied by the USSR, who then proceeded where they left off, and promptly moved 50.000 Estonians to Siberia and then they arranged a phony "referendum" where Estonians "decided to join the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics".
In short. Red Army just replaced one brutal dictatorship (Nazis) with another (Communism). And the Estonians felt that they had had enough with a statue that glorifies the event. That, of course, was a big no-no for Russia and Russians.
And, considering that the rioting outside Estonian embassy and the cutting of the rail-traffic was directed by Kreml, I have no reason to believe why the cyber-attack wouldn't be their doing either.
Let me tell you: living next to Russia is no fun. They are always pulling off crap like this.
Interesting that you conveniently forgot to mention that were Estonians to remain under Nazi rule, they would have been exterminated (just like everybody else in the area) in accordance to the 5 year grand Nazi plan. (everyone up to Ural mountains was to be exterminated, Halocaust wasn't a purely anti-jewish affair as it is often made out to be)
So as bad as the Russians were, you are still here to bitch at them, aren't you?
And what's with this "liberated"? Why the quotes, you think Nazi should've been left in control? You support them? And 54million people were slaughtered in Siberia during the 70 year communist regime, most of whom were Russians, not to mention 22 million that were lost in WWII, don't wine how you got it bad.
oops double post, sorry.
Ahh, so long term slavery and suppression is a victory compared to extermination? How about, they could both have done better?
The idea of "Bah, they should have been exterminated years ago, now they are complaining they were left alive?!?!?!" is a bit scary to some of us.
Do not twist my arguments around to your point of view. If you believe that, that's fine, keep me out of it. I merely said that he made out Nazi as some sort of benefactors who were OK and it was the USSR that really screwed them up and have done no good.
I did not defend USSR in any way.
Maybe, but that does not in any shape or form justify the actions of the USSR. Why did they occupy Estonia in the first place? Because the deal USSR made with the Nazis allowed it...
Does that mean that since they haven't invaded and killed us (Finns in this case) we should just let them violate our airspace (over and over again), jam up our roads with bogus excuses, threaten our neighbours, violate Vienna convention, lie, blackmail and harass?
I would have preferred Estonians to be left in control, instead of Russians. Is it really "liberation" if you kick out one dictatorship, and replace it with another?
Your rationale is REALLY weird: "What, you oppose the brutal dictatorship USSR imposed on the Estonians? Do you support nazis instead?". Are you saying that only alternative to Communist dictarorship is Nazi-dictatorship? Are you forgetting that before USSR occupied Estonia in 1940, Estonia was a sovereign country?
OK, this is enough, if you all prefer to twist my words as defensive of USSR, you can just keep on going on your merry way. I'm out.
No I didn't you damn nitwit. I merely stated the historical fact that it was the USSR that first occupied Estonia, and that Estonia was a sovereign state before that. After USSR, Estonia was occupied by the Nazis. After that, Estonia was occupied and annexed by the USSR.
And now you are saying that "so you support the nazis, huh? They should have left the nazis in power?", when in reality I'm not saying anything like that. What I AM saying is that they should have left ESTONIANS in control. You know, like how things were before Estonia was occupied by USSR in 1940? Or are YOU saying that the occupation of 1940 is perfectly A-OK?
Well, you ARE defending USSR. And the moment historical facts start to go against you, you just comment "I'm out". Well, don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out!
If the Red Army REALLY were the "liberators" Russians try to portray them as being, they should have left Estonians in control. But they didn't, therefore they are no liberators. Maybe they were marginally better than the nazis were, but that's hardly a ringing endorsement, now is it?
And the hyporicy of Russia regarding this thing is sickening. Besides complaining about the statue (which is simply being moved from one place to another), they are complaining that Estonians should not touch the half-a-dozen or so WW2-era graves of Red Army soldiers that are under the statue (the bodies are to be moved to the cemetary as well). Well, what Russia is failing to mention is that they are digging up WW2-era graves up in Moscow because they are widening a local freeway... How about the cemeteries that Finns left behind them in Karelia? Well, they took the tombstones as used them as raw material for buildings, and the cemeteries themselves (with bodies and all) were simply bulldozed over.
How about the monument in the Karelian Isthmus dedicated to fallen Finnish soldiers? Well, Russians built a military proving-ground around it, and they do live-ammo shooting in there... Thanks for respecting the monument, dudes!
If I sound pissed over this issue, that's because I am. I find the behavior of Russia to be extremely hypocritical and offensive.
Yeah, my thought exactly.
Well, it could mean that in both cases the country is under attack by a foreign power. IF the DDoS-attack manages to cripple large portions of Estonian online-infrastructure, the damage could be quite extensive.
Agreed, but I would argue that there is a large difference between flying planes into both civilian and military targets and taking down a few government websites. I'm not approving nor condoning either, but the article made it sound like there was not wide spread damage due to the DDoS attack.
Now, if they managed to cripple critical infrastructure components and people started dieing because of it, then I would agree.
Let me provide some context to your debate.
Imagine that there was a Mexican cemetery with a memorial in downtown Los Angeles. Further, imagine that the local Mexican immigrant population regarded the memorial THE major local symbol of their heritage, and the Mexicans buried near it as heroes. Now, imagine, that the US Government, in a blatant attempt to appeal to racists and xenophobic voters, ordered the bodied of the heroes dug up with a backhoe and the statue moved to some distant out-of-the way location.
Imagine that this occurred after 15 years of disenfranchisement, anti-Spanish-language policies, and government-approved discrimination against people of Mexican heritage.
Imagine that US law made it quite difficult for the Mexican immigrants affected by these policies to obtain citizenship and vote the racist politicians out of office.
Wouldn't you expect riots? Wouldn't you expect DDoS attacks? And wouldn't you expect the people across the border to be sympathetic to the fate of their former countrymen?
You left out the imagining where Mexico brutally occupied Los Angeles for most of 50 years. Context is everything, after all.
Please explain why ethnic Russians living in Estonia in 2007 are being punished for what NKVD thugs of various ethnicities did in 1946. Do not forget that the vast majority of the victims of aforementioned NKVD thugs were ethnic Russians.
You read a lot of Russian newspapers? I live in Estonia and I can't say the Russians are somewhat discriminated. Or does for example US give citizenship to anyone who wants it?
And after those Mexicans had occupied US for 50 years and moved 5% of US population to Mexican deserts?
Your "context" is lacking. Try this:
Ever since 1940 or so, Mexico had brutally occupied USA. Loads of Americans were sent to prison-camps where they were killed like flies, while loads of Mexicans were moved to USA in order to "Mexicanize" USA. Then, the Mexican regime suddenly collapses, and Americans find themselves in charge of their own country again. But theres a sizable Mexican minority left behind by the old regime, and those people routinely gather around a statue that glorifies the "Mexican liberation of USA" and they shout chants like "Down with USA!" while waving Mexican flags.
Now there's some "context" for you.
Um, the statue and the bodies were moved to a nearby cemetary. And the bodies were not dug up with a backhoe, they were in fact carefully dug up and moved.
huh? The Russian minority in Estonia can become Estonian citizens if the demonstrate that they know the language (Estonian) well enough. For some reason quite a few of them have decided not to learn the language. Instead, they underline their Russian roots. Well, if they want to be Russians, they could always move to Russia.
Yes. If you were born in the US or enter it legally, live there for X years, pay taxes, don't violate US laws, and pass a civics test, you get citizenship. Which is the way things are done in all civilized countries.
Please don't mix up the Soviet system with the ethnic Russians living in Estonia. All Soviet citizens were victims of the regime.
If the Russian in Estonia have nothing to do with the "Russians of the past", why is that statue so important to them? If they have nothing to do with the occupation, why do they treasure a statue that glorifies the occupation? If they want to be Estonians, why don't they learn the language and apply for citizenship? Why do they gather around that statue and shout anti-Estonian chants while waving Russian flags?
If they want to wash their hands of the actions of NKVD, they should then distance themselves for the statue and the things it represents. Yet they do not. Instead, they raise it on a pedestal and treasure it.
Most of Eastern Europe hates the Soviets, just as much as they hate the Nazis. They're glad the Soviets are gone, and they're understandably touchy when it comes to Russia trying to impose some influence.
I've been to Estonia, it's one of my favorite countries. The people there speak Estonian now, no more Russian. They've gone to great lengths to re-exert their identity, which had been strangled out by the Soviets. Estonia and Latvia are among the best places to visit in Europe.
In Lithuania, they have a museum, which in their language translates into "Genocide Museum". It's named that way not so much for the Nazis, it's about the occupation by the Soviets, and how 250,000 Lithuanians were exterminated by the Soviets.
The Russians in Estonia have not passed the civics test. So what exactly is the problem here then?
The Russians in Estonia are there due to the Soviet system.
First, Estonia did not regain its independence until 1991, and the last Russian soldier did not leave until 1994. Prior to that, Estonians were second-class citizens in their own country for five decades ruled by Russian colonists and the Soviet Union. Now, Estonia is a free and independent nation again. Russian colonists must now become Estonians—as defined by Estonia—or get the fuck out, neither of which is an easy or appealing option. In response, Russia attempts to bully where tanks and mass deportation are no longer an option, and maybe a little cyber-terrorism on the side. Of course, this only hardens the resolve of the Estonians, so in the end fewer Russians will become Estonians and more will leave. Apologists for Russia call it punishment, everybody else calls it justice.
Not only that, but the monument would be for the 'heroes' who've done the occupation.
A little more context, still:
In fact, it's the other way around - and for longer that 15 years. You'd have to imagine Mexico deporting a good part of the LA population to work camps in the jungle and replacing it with mexicans. Also, the 'liberating' Mexican army (from Canada, presumably) plundering^W generously accepting any valuables they could get their hands on^W^W^W^W from the grateful population. And graciously accepting to put their already-overworked local general commander in control of the state for the duration of the occupation^W glorious march towards Communism.
Wow, that is so blatantly one-sided it's pathetic. How dare the Estonians regard the legacy of the Russian occupation as anything other than a gift??? Didn't about 50 years of indoctrination teach them to obey the wishes of the Father in Kremlin? Next thing you know, they'll be siding with that traitor Khrushchev and call Stalin a tyrant and a murderer.
Edit: bah, looks like I'm late to the party. Sorry for duplicating arguments already stated, take this a another point confirming that tetromino is making no valid point about Russian 'heroes' and such.
That's what I thought too, at first, but think of it this way.
You're living in this country, right, that until recently was occupied by another country. That other country is now attacking your government's computer systems, and your ambassador to that country just managed to get out.
I would be about as scared as I was when I woke up and saw the city I was born in under attack.
No, actually you wouldn't.
Just to add some facts here:
The statue was moved to a very nice, wooded, cemetary, as were the bodies buried around it, with the usual decency accorded to such acts. As Janne pointed out earlier, this is markedly better than Russian treats the graves of it's own soldiers (disinterring bodies to widen roads) and it's own war monuments, most of which are in a sorry state of disrepair.
That said, the movement of the statue was made into an election-issue by one of the parties during the last round of elections to appeal to anti-Russian sentiment in Estonia: so the Estonians aren't entirely blameless.
However they still did better than their Russian counterparts, who have been implicated in some of the riots that took place in Estonia. The Russian press has widely distorted this with stories of children being beaten by riot police: the fact is the protests were peacefully handled, and when they turned violent, and then appropriate amount of force was used. This is in marked contrast to the violent and hostile reception protest marches meet in Russia.
Also, saying Russia is okay because brutal soviet repression is better than Nazi extermination is nonsense: Russia had the chance to completely free Estonia and let an Estonian government take charge and they didn't.
Indeed, in 1939 the Soviets cut a deal with the Nazi's, the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact, which allowed Russian to invade and conquer Eastern Europe, and Germany to invade and conquer Western Europe. They then invaded jointly invaded Poland with the Nazis. When the Nazis attacted Russia, they fought back, and ultimately invaded and conquered Eastern Europe as they had planned all along, and did not release it till 1989. The Russians did not "liberate" Europe, as much as they like to think so: they invaded Eastern Europe just as they had always planned - they just switched sides when the Nazi's broke their agreement. As other posters have noted, the Soviets then deported several people to their own "work" (or concentration if you prefer) camps, and forcefully settled many Russians to distort the demographics of the country.
Their treatment of Estonia is bullying at the highest level, and an affront to the country's sovereignty. The sizable Russian minority in Estonia may not like the way the country is drifting: but they are still better off in Estonia than in their mother-country, and are still being treated better than their Russian forebears treated the Estonians (and bear in mind Estonia only gained full independence in 1994).
Wow.. that didn't last long. "Nazis" were pulled out of their grave and strung up as basis for an argument in by 3rd post on topic. What was the name for that rule for using Nazis in online argument?
In all seriousness, this is just another example of Russia going back to its roots. Now that they're awash in oil money, they're pulling off the old bullying book into "influencing" its neighbors. Cyber-attacks are just as damaging as crashing a jetliner into a major financial center. As the world gets more wired up, cyber attacks carries more damage than ever before.
As an interesting detail to the situation... The statue was modeled after Kristjan Palisalu, an Estonian wrestler who won two gold medals in the Berlin Olympics. When USSR occupied Estonia in 1940, he was deported to Soviet Union. When USSR became really involved in the war, he was drafted to the Red Army and sent to the Finnish Front, where he defected to the Finnish side. Finns then allowed him trip back to his homeland (which was under German occupation at the time). In 1944 he was captured by the Russians and sent to Siberia. It was during his time as a prisoner that he was used as a model for the statue.
So the "heroic Red Army soldier" depicted in the statue is no such thing. He was Estonian who refused to serve in the Red Army and was sent to Siberia because of that. The statue is a big lie. Everything about it is a lie.
So basically the move while done correctly purely technically was done inflammatory purely politically.
Was it really unexpected? There are always several ways to do stuff.
While SSSR was quite nasty the rest wasn't much better (just that the west "won" so we hear less about it's freedom spreading). Insisting on bringing the whole crap up to political level is just what resulted in the riots (I have some experience with this shit as it led to war at my home due to idiotic peons falling for the whole propaganda thing).
I normally lurk, but I couldn't resist commenting on this topic.
This whole issue of moving the statue is a load of crap. The Russian government (and vast majority of Russians) don't really care about the rights of Russians living outside of Russia. The government cares about geo-political (pretending to be a world power) issues and silencing dissent. What better way is there then to rally most of the population (most of Russia consists of a Russian rednecks, their always up for glorifying the USSR and xenophobia) than to make up fake enemies? I remember when Russia sold off around (either you get a Turkmen citizenship or you lose all your property and go to Russia) 100,000 of its citizen to Turkmenistan (under the previous ruler), Russians don't care about such things if the propaganda channels don't mention it.
Right now the enemy is Estonia. You should see the Russian propaganda channels. Around 50% of the propaganda pieces contain something about Estonia.
Let me give you an example:
"Slavic nations have taken the top three places in the Eurovision song contest (pan-European commercialized music event), Russia got 3rd place! Western Europe hasn't gotten high marks for the past 5 years! And even Estonia gave us 12 points (the max).
Before that Russians would enjoy spreading dirt on Georgia and Ukraine. It's funny how when it seemed that Yanukovich (pro Russian politicians from Ukraine) would win the presidential elections, Russian propaganda got all pro-Ukrainian, from showing Ukrainian soccer games to allowing Ukrainians to work anywhere in Russia for up to 3 months without any red tape. That created a really funny situation as it became easier for many Ukrainians to stay in Moscow than it was for non-Muscovites.
And don't believe the BS about Russians being discriminated. Many of them are still living in the USSR era, they believe they should have some kind of special rights like being able to get a job anywhere without knowing the local language. If you want discrimination, just come to Russia .
They have all forms of discrimination, from requiring around 20 medical tests for foreigners to get jobs (I wish the Estonian government would make it just as hard for Russians to get jobs) to murder.
Killings of non-whites and foreigners is not that rare in Russia. In 2003 a Taik girl was killed by seven Russian skinheads, they got off when a slap on the wrist. The dorms in one of Moscow's universities (a lot of foreign students attend this university) was set on fire by skinheads resulting in 40 deaths.
Cops have also been know to kill foreigners . At the same time the police of in both Moscow and St Petersburg say stuff like "skinheads are non-issue."
Although this kind of behavior is to be expected from Russians. There is no civil society in Russian, extreme nationalism (around 11% of Russians think Jews are to blame for ALL of Russia's problems) and xenophobia are the norm.
And this thing was done as well it could be done. They moved the statue and the bodies to a cemetary. And to be honest, it fits a lot better to the cemetary than it did back when it was still next to a bus-stop.
Another long time lurker here...
What I find most frightening about this story is that the Russian government is successfully testing how far they can go. And it seems that short of invading their neighbours nothing is off limits. Some EU officials may express some "concerns" but oil&gas is so much more important that we will not see any counter action. I just hope I will NOT live long enough to see what happens when Russia will run out of small countries to harass and start extorting Germany or other Western countries.
On topic - while comparing this attack to 9/11 is quite lame, it's just a matter of time until someone pulls off something like that on a much larger scale. Until ISPs start cutting off zombies form their networks it is only going to get worse. And we all know that ISPs won't do anything about it.
Why, thank you for the complement. Perhaps I should apologize for disturbing the present company's groupthink?
Russia is, on average, a xenophobic, racist, and corrupt nation. Foreign students get beaten up. Cops shake down immigrant workers for bribes. Politicians routinely appeal to the voters' populist and xenophobic instincts. And if you bribe the right official, you can do anything, for example dig up the war cemetery in Himki to make way for construction.
However, Russia is not in the EU, it's not in NATO, and it's not considered a "true" democracy. Estonia is a EU and NATO member, and a darling of the West. One would think that the Estonian government ought to be held to a higher standard.
Just about every civilized nation has an enlightened attitude towards ethnic minorities. Look at Swedes in Finland, Catalans in Spain, Quebecois in Canada, Flemish in Belgium, Latinos in the US, the Welsh and the Scots in Britain, Sami in Norway...
Well, Estonia is different.
In Estonia, the Russian-speaking minority is 30% of the population, yet the Russian language has no official status and the government is actively trying to reduce its influence in the schools. In Estonia, it is considered acceptable for a person to be born in Estonia, to live in Estonia all his life, to obey Estonian laws, and never be granted Estonian citizenship. In Estonia, it is considered acceptable for a mainstream politician (Prime Minister Andrus Ansip) to cynically appeal to xenophobic voters to shore up his coalition. In Estonia, it is acceptable for an MP (Velliste) to make hate speech in parliament.
At least the Estonian government was nice enough to remove the Waffen SS monument in Parnu...
In its treatment of minorities, Estonia is taking lessons from Russia. Instead it should consider the example of peaceful and prosperous Finland, where Swedish is a second national language, even though the Swedish-speaking minority (who are, btw, descendants of bloodthirsty colonists) are only 5% of the population.
The Russian-speaking minority in Estonia are not some kind of a fifth column preparing a Neo-Soviet invasion. They want to live in a free, independent Estonia - but they also want their language, their culture, and their monuments to be respected.
But really you're just guessing. I am sure there's plenty of Russians able to pull this off without being told to do so by anyone.
Same with the Danish Muhammed crisis, there was inept attacks by individuals on the newspaper etc.
And btw. Why don't Estonia just give the Russians their freeking statue back. If they like it so much, they can have it.
/.me doesn't think the Russians in Estonia has any more right to be there than the Jews in Palestine.
This is another example of the myth of equivocation. The Swedish domination of Finland ended around 1800, while Estonia was controlled by Russians until 1994. Many of those same Russians are still alive and in Estonia today. As you point out, the Swedish speaking minority are only about five percent of the population of Finland, while the colonization of Estonia by Russia has resulted in out of four people in Estonia being Russian. Finally, it's highly unlikely Sweden will be invading Finland anytime soon. The same cannot be said for Russia invading Estonia, especially considering the tepid response the EU has had to Russian assaults against Estonian sovereignty so far.
Well, it is not exactly that way. You get Estonian citizenship automatically, when you are born in Estonian Republic. When you were born in the territory of Estonia under Soviet occupation, you must pass a civics test.

Tuition Payment Policy
Your tuition and fees are due according to the terms and conditions of your selected Payment Option. An exception may be made if you have completed all required financial aid paperwork prior to the start of the term and your financial aid is significant enough to cover all current term charges. There will also be a limited exception for those students using tuition reimbursement, military tuition assistance or direct bill as their method of payment. For students taking advantage of their Veterans benefits, payment is deferred for the first 60 days of continuous enrollment in a degree program. You are responsible for the amount that financial aid does not cover and it must be paid in full on or before the first week of the each course.
Acceptable forms of payment are:
- Cash
- Personal check
- Money order
- Credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express)
You are encouraged to speak to your Academic Advisor if you are unable to pay the balance owed. University of the Rockies will withhold transcripts, degree verifications, and grade reports until accounts are paid in full.
Delinquent Accounts and Financial Hold
Your account is considered delinquent if full payment is not received the first week of the course resulting in an outstanding account balance. Any student with a delinquent account will be put on a financial hold and not be allowed to register for a subsequent term until payment is received in full or a payment plan is established and approved by Financial Services. If you have a delinquent account, you will not be permitted to take comprehensive exams, obtain copies of official transcripts, or graduate.
An administrative fee will be assessed to your account for any outstanding balances, late payments or insufficient funds.
Payment Plans
Payment plans allow for students in a non-term format to maintain continuous enrollment by offering them the ability to make monthly payments to cover any outstanding charges they have incurred throughout the course of their program.
Stipend Checks
A stipend check is only available when you have a credit on your account after tuition and fees have been paid in full. If you authorize the school to retain funds and then would like to request a stipend, you must fill out a Disbursement Request Form which is available online. If you do not authorize the school to retain funds the stipend check will automatically be generated and mailed to the address on file within 14 business days.

The Big Wedding
It's impossible to write about The Big Wedding without damning it with faint praise. It has the sort of cast that once would have once been a selling point but is now cause for skepticism, and its sprawling plot is haphazard at best. It's worth a chuckle or two, but nothing happens that you couldn't guess from sitting through the first half hour. It's probably better than writer/director Justin Zackham's script for The Bucket List, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, but you'd have to find someone who actually saw that saccharine mess to know.
Diane Keaton and Robert De Niro star as Ellie and Don Griffin, a divorced couple whose adopted son is getting married. Don is shacked up with Ellie's former best friend Bebe, played by Susan Sarandon, who's become a close mother figure to the grown Griffin brood. Unfortunately for Bebe, the groom-to-be Alejandro (Ben Barnes, wearing a lot of bronzer) never told his Catholic mother back in Colombia that his parents are divorced, and since she's on her way to the nuptials, he asks Ellie and Don to pretend to still be married. Why anyone goes along with this is beyond logic but logic isn't important here. What is important is that there are plenty of awkward sexual situations (De Niro listing euphuisms for cunnilingus!), bodily functions (De Niro getting vomited on!), and slapstick (De Niro being punched in the face!).
The rest of the plot is rather exhausting to get into and plays on all sorts of icky cultural stereotypes. Alejandro's biological sister Nuria (Ana Ayora) is a gorgeous, hypersexual Latina who doesn't realize she should make men work for it until Ellie tells her about American woman's mores and some sort of possibly feminist jibber-jabber. (If Zackham read any of the hand-wringing essays or books on hook-up culture, he'd realize this is complete BS.) Alejandro's mom doesn't speak English and mostly clutches her rosary while looking on disapprovingly. Topher Grace appears as Alejandro's brother, a doctor who decided at 15 that he'd stay a virgin until he fell in love, an idea that he tosses out as soon as Nuria sheds her clothes to go for a dip in their pond. Katherine Heigl is yet another sibling with problems; she left her husband because they couldn't get pregnant, but now she's upset because he hasn't tried to get in touch with her even though she left him. Amanda Seyfried is Alejandro's fiancée; her parents are WASP-y racists who are apparently horrified that their daughter is marrying someone wearing a lot of bronzer. There's some kerfuffle about Catholicism, so they've hauled in Robin Williams to appear as a priest; he actually plays it pretty straight, which is probably for the best. The themes are: double standards, fear of revealing our true selves to the ones we love, and uproarious revelations. Except not that uproarious.
Based on the French film Mon frère se marie, The Big Wedding is ultimately as forgettable as its generic title. Zackham relies on 360 degree pans and treacly music to try and rouse the audience to care, but that's no replacement for a decent script. The only thing that sticks is De Niro's saucy satyr, which is a refreshing change from his more recent films. Keaton and Sarandon are a pleasing pair, and they deserve not only much better than this, but their own movie about cool female friends in their fifties. In fact, if everything about the wedding was scrapped and this was rewritten as a dramedy about the complicated relationship between these three, you might have an interesting movie.

I'm glad to see that the desire to come up with stable definitions and labels for difficult-to-define-and-label things exists not only within the science fiction community, where the desire for taxonomy seems sometimes pathologic, but also within the world at large. Exhibit A: The Queen's English Society is demanding that poems be defined as things with rhyme and meter (or, rather, metre).
Those of us who have survived interminable discussions of what, exactly, makes something science fiction or fantasy can probably help our friends at the Queen's English Society. In fact, we can let them know that the desire for definition does not end with one term. Oh no. One of the great laws of the universe is: Taxonomy breeds taxonomy. Once we have one label or category, we need many. And then the many need many of their own.
For instance, the Queen's English Society will need to determine whether everything defined as "poetry" is (for instance) immersive poetry or submersive poetry, and then they will need to define whether immersive poetry can be subversive when it is not submersive, and if submersive poetry is inherently subversive or if its subversivity is flexible. Then, of course, they will have to figure out if it is hard immersive poetry or soft immersive poetry, and how such a hard/soft binary interacts with the hard/soft binary of submersive poetry, which is a different sort of hard/soft binary because if it's hard/soft and immersive then it tends to sink in polders, while if it is hard/soft and submersive, it can float in polders. That then opens up the new category of Things That Float in Polders, but we're going to have to wait for a panel discussion at whatever convention is happening next weekend to know if poems that are submersive truly belong in the secondary (or is it primary?) category of Things That Float in Polders, or if the submersive subversive poems actually stand at the edge of the polder and interrogate it. Which makes them into submersive subversive interrogators (SSIs), and some people claim that SSIs are actually mystery stories, not poems. Even if they rhyme. But have no fear -- I'm sure the upcoming anthology of The New Submersive Poetry will clear everything up... (Alas, having been down this route before, I know some reviewers will claim that the book only includes a few truly submersive poems, and those few are not subversively submersive, which makes their submersivity merely an artifact of nostalgia rather than a storm against a barricade, but this is okay because it leaves room for the next anthology: The New Storming & Subversive Submersive Poetry, which will be a really cool book, I'm sure, because it will have a blog. Actually, strike that -- it won't even have a book, just a blog.)
If our friends at the Queen's English Society get tired of defining and subdefining poetry (perish the thought!), they can always argue about the origins of poetry and the first poem. In fact, they should claim one poem to be The First Poem -- perhaps Percy Shelley's "Queen Mab: A Philosophical Poem" will do. It's even got the word "poem" in the title, so it must be the first one. Once they have identified a First Poem, the real fun will begin, because it will allow all poem-like objects before it to be categorized as proto-poems, and the possibilities for what can (and can't!) be defined as proto-poems are practically endless. This will allow at least a century of argument, and between this and the argument about defining poetry much fun can be had by many generations of ... people who like to argue about such things! Wheeee!
The real question, though, is what is a pipe?

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) - A Raleigh dentist is apologizing for an ad she called "ignorant and offensive" that ran in a local magazine.
Dr. Jill Sonner with Renaissance Dental Center said there was no ill intent behind the ad that shows her and two other dentists advertising a free whitening system.
In the ad, Sonner is dressed in a Native American costume while the other dentists are in a geisha costume and a Scottish outfit.
The ad appears in the May/June edition of Midtown Magazine.
"The idea behind the ad was just the message that a smile is universal, and we all smile in the same language. We did not realize at the time that it would be offensive or insensitive. We are truly sorry," Sonner told CBS 17.
The ad has been removed and replaced from Midtown's online version with an ad they created for March Madness.
An apology was posted to the Renaissance Dental Center's Facebook page Thursday morning.
"In one of our recent advertisements, we attempted to focus upon something that unites us…the warmth and joy behind a smile. We now realize it was ignorant and offensive, and we are truly sorry. We have learned a valuable lesson in this situation. Again, our sincere apologies."
Sonner said they hope to learn and grow from this.
"We are a family practice and we always try to create ads that appeal to different patients of our practice, and after running this ad and realizing the impact, we are definitely going to be more thoughtful and intentional when we do our future ads," she said.
Midtown Magazine publisher and editor Connie Gentry said the ad should not have run.
"In hindsight, clearly this was an inappropriate and insensitive ad to run. That was never our intent and it certainly wasn't the intent of the advertiser," Gentry said.
"As soon as it was called to our attention, that people were offended, we removed and replaced it. Obviously we can't change it in the print edition, but we did change it instantly in our digital version and we would not run this ad again."
Gentry said Midtown Magazine will improve as a result. She said the incident shows the magazine needs stricter guidelines and a more thorough process in the way ads are placed into the magazine.

James, 33, thanked his home area in an Instagram story. He wrote in text overlaying a photo from the Cavaliers' 2016 NBA title victory parade, "Thank you Northeast Ohio for an incredible 4 seasons. This will always be home."
He delivered the first championship to the sports-obsessed city in 52 years and did so with storybook gusto, helping the Cavaliers become the first team in NBA Finals history to rally from a 3-1 series deficit to win it all. The team he took down, the

, had the best regular-season record in league history, at 73-9.
"Words do not express the meaning and the feeling this accomplishment brought to the people of Northeast Ohio," Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert said in a lengthy statement thanking James. "None of this would have happened if LeBron James did not agree to come back home and lead the Cavaliers to the promised land.

"LeBron is a family man, first. We wish his kids, his wife, Savannah, his mother, Gloria, and LeBron himself nothing but the best in the years and decades ahead. LeBron's connection to Akron, Cleveland and all of Northeast Ohio will most certainly endure as his commitment to the region and his support of many important causes has been impactful to so many kids and families.
"LeBron, you came home and delivered the ultimate goal. Nothing but appreciation and gratitude for everything you put into every moment you spent in a Cavaliers uniform. We look forward to the retirement of the famous #23 Cavs jersey one day down the line ..."
James leaves the Cavaliers franchise as its leader in nearly every major statistical category: games played, points, rebounds, assists and steals.
If 2017-18 was his final act in Cleveland, what a show he put on -- playing in all 82 games for the first time in his 15-year career and capping it off with a postseason performance as dominant as any playoff run James has ever been part of.
Brian Windhorst details how LeBron James came to his decision to leave the Cavaliers for the Lakers.
James becomes the first player in NBA history to lead a postseason in scoring and switch teams the following offseason.
He joins the illustrious list of NBA legends to play for the Lakers, some of whom have already welcomed James to the family.

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) -- Japan says it is canceling 326.3 billion yen ($3.58 billion) in debt owed by Myanmar to encourage reforms.
A Japanese Embassy statement Wednesday says the move is intended to help Myanmar's efforts in democratization, national reconciliation and economic and social reform.
Myanmar accumulated $8.4 billion in foreign debt during the socialist regime of the late Gen. Ne Win from 1962 to 1988, and $2.61 billion under the military junta that took over in 1988. An elected government took power in 2011.
The World Bank announced Sunday that the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, Japan's overseas development bank, will provide a bridge loan to Myanmar to cover outstanding debt to the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank totaling about $900 million. That will allow them to provide new development loans.

School of Ed. to research literacy
William and Mary's School of Education has received a grant for $152,500 from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia to help fund middle school literacy efforts.
"This is an area of critical need," said Virginia McLaughlin, dean of the William and Mary School of Education. "Schools have made great progress in improving literacy in the elementary grades, but the demands for reading become much more intense at the middle school level. Many times, students' performance in science, social studies and math is more reflective of their lack of reading skills than their lack of knowledge of the actual subject area. Not being able to read textbooks or tests is a real handicap."
The grant is the latest in a line of "No Child Left Behind" grants that have been submitted by William and Mary on behalf of the School-University Research Network (SURN), a partnership between the College and 26 area school divisions. This year's grant will fund a SURN project entitled, "SURN Collaboratories: Middle Grades Literacy Across Content." The project will develop and mentor teachers at middle schools in Hopewell, Norfolk and Petersburg that have not met accreditation standards for literacy.
"The College has been partnering with Petersburg on a number of community-building and service-learning opportunities. We were particularly excited to target this No Child Left Behind grant to the Petersburg schools because it connects so well with the work the university is doing there," said McLaughlin.
The project began when teams of interdisciplinary teachers from the three divisions attended a two-day summer training academy in Petersburg at the end of August. The teachers will learn instructional and motivational strategies and then will implement those strategies in their classrooms when school begins in the fall. Throughout the year, the teams will reconvene to receive more information and share what they have learned. Additionally, members of the project faculty will visit classrooms and provide one-on-one coaching to the teachers.
A new component of this year's grant allows project faculty members to set up model classrooms in local schools with experienced teacher-mentors. Members of the project teams may set up appointments to visit the model classrooms and see the strategies they are learning in action, said Jan Rozzelle, director and lead faculty member of the project.The project will conclude with a conference in March, 2008 in which the teams will share their findings, lesson plans and research with the other SURN partners.

Ignorance allows the belief in perfection. You never need to question. At the same time, never to question is one of the few real sins for which your soul can be damned. - W. Michael Gear
Very few really seek knowledge in this world. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds--justification, explanations, forms of consolation without which they can't go on. To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner. - Marius, The Vampire Lestat, Anne Rice
