Inside or Out? Organize Ideas For An Opinion Essay (Lesson 1 of 3)
Lesson 2 of 4
Objective: SWBAT brainstorm ideas to create an opinion essay by stating an opinion and supplying reasons and examples.
- large paper for each group of kids to write ideas on with markers (I used butcher block)
- computer/ipad with 'sounddogs.com' website for recess sounds- search 'recess' and play the previews (I didn't buy the tracks)
- OREO organizer for the essay
- Vocabulary to put on the whiteboard: opinion, essay, reason, example, linking word, introduction, conclusion
- whiteboard setup
- Group rules poster
The idea of 'OREO writing' (using reasons and examples to support your opinion), using linking words and stating an opinion in a simple one paragraph essay in the lesson was introduced in a previous lesson, State Your Opinion - Which Dessert is Best?, where the kids wrote a one-paragraph essay.
Second graders need time to work through these writing steps of the writing process (brainstorm, organize, rough draft, edit, final draft). The district expectation for my students is to create a five- paragraph essay, aligning with the Common Core Standards of composing a variety of types of essays, including opinion essays that state an opinion with supporting examples and details. (W.2.1).
This lesson is the first of 3 lessons that guides the kids toward creating a five-paragraph essay stating an opinion. In the next lesson, Inside or Out-Draft the Opinion Essay (Lesson 2 of 3), the students will create a draft of their opinion essay. In the final lesson, Inside or Out-Edit and Finalize Your Opinion Essay (Lesson 3 of 3), they will edit and then write a final opinion essay.
To give you more background about how to help students write a five paragraph essay, I encourage you to look at some narrative writing lessons that I taught previously in my course: Organize Your Ideas In A Timely Way (Lesson 1 of 3), Draft and Edit a Star Narrative (Lesson 2 of 3), and Finalize and Show What You Know (Lesson 3 of 3). I taught that unit to teach students about writing narrative essays. I used the same ideas of 'main idea' with 'supporting details', writing 2 drafts and editing that the Common Core Standards emphasize to provide evidence for statements that the students make in writing and create strong writing pieces.

Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words)
Common starting point
- "We are going to write our own opinion essay today about something that has to do with school. Some days are nice outside and we go outside for recess. Some days are bad weather and we stay inside for recess."
- "Some kids like to stay inside for recess and others like to go out. There are reasons why both kinds of recess can be the best. You can share examples of each reason."
- "Today we'll use the OREO organizer that we used in yesterday's lesson to create a five-paragraph essay."
- Here's a video of my introduction and review of the OREO concept.
When you write an opinion paper, make sure the kids are very familiar with the topic and they have clear opinions about the idea. I chose the topic of indoor/outdoor recess because my kids have strong opinions about this. They really differ on their preferences - some really prefer to stay in when the weather is bad and others want to go outside, regardless of the temperature.

Brainstorm as a group
Give the purpose of the lesson
- "We are going to work in groups to think about several reasons why inside and outside recess can be the best."
- "Each group will get a large piece of paper. Your job is to list 4 reasons why recess can be fun outside or inside. Each reason should have 2 examples." You've heard of 'double stuffed oreos'. Well this is like a 'quadruple stuffed oreo' because we have 4 reasons with examples." This was the stuffed OREO visual that I wrote on the whiteboard to demonstrate the idea.
- "When we're done, you will go back to your desk and be able to share your opinion about which kind of recess is best."
- Here's how I explained using multiple reasons.
Give clear expectations
- "On your paper, you should write 'REE' 'REE' 'REE' 'REE' down the side (this oreo will have lots of 'stuffing inside) At the top, you should write 'inside recess' or 'outside recess'."
- "Next to the first 'R', think of a reason. You can just write a phrase, such as 'get fresh air' or 'run around'. Then you need to have 2 examples that support that reason. Work together to make sure that both examples really support the reason that you picked."
Assign the groups and monitor (I played the 'recess sounds' on soundhound from the computer to help them think)
- I picked 4 groups - 2 for inside recess and 2 for outside recess and moved them to the corners of the room.
- They were reminded about Rules for Group Work (see materials)
- "First set up your papers with the REE letters." Here's a picture of a student setting up the large paper.
- Keep them on task and make sure their writing is clear.
- The examples should support the reasons.
- Here are 2 examples of the posters that my kids created in their groups: brainstorm poster 1 and brainstorm poster 2.
Resources (5)
Students Take a Turn
Groups present
- Have each group come up and present their opinions. Give them a chance to share the reasons and examples and query the class, 'Does that reasons support the opinion?' 'Is that a good example?'
Students write their organizer
- "Now it's your turn to decide if you think inside recess or outside recess is best."
- "I'm passing out the organizer. Remember we only write short phrases on the organizer. You don't need capitals, punctuation or complete sentences.
- "Start with your opinion at the top. Do you like indoor or outdoor recess? This will be our introduction."
- "Use a word that shows it's an opinion ... what were those words?" (best, favorite, in my opinion....)" I listed the opinion starters on the whiteboard again.
- "When you're done, you should choose the reasons that you think make sense. Copy the phrases or words on your organizer or you can choose a reason that's not listed, if it makes sense." Ask them about their supporting reasons and examples as they work. Here is one of my students explaining her examples and reasons.
- "At the end, you'll need to state your opinion again using other words. This will be your conclusion."
Add transition words
- "Remember a good opinion essay needs to have transition or linking words that bring all the ideas together. Here's a list of linking words that we talked about yesterday."
- I took a few moments to review the words and why we use them. Here's my explanation about adding linking words to the organizer.
- There were some questions about starting a sentence with a linking word. I took that opportunity to talk about using 'because' appropriately.
- This is an example of a student explaining her ideas.
- Here's one of my student's completed organizers.
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be scaffolded down, depending on student ability.
Writing is usually difficult for students with limited academic abilities. I would suggest pulling them into a group and working with them separately as other students write. Perhaps you could create a 'group paper' or support them by writing words/ideas on the whiteboard.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King University baseball team returned home in an attempt to extend their five-game winning streak as they hosted UVa-Wise in a nonconference tilt. It looked as though the Tornado would extend their streak, but the Cavaliers made a late comeback, capped by four runs in the top of the ninth inning to escape with the 12-11 victory.
UVa-Wise (5-10) started the game by plating two runs in the top of the first inning. Bill Steven drove in the first run with a double, and the Cavaliers scored the second run on a Tornado error. At that point, Tornado pitcher Tyler Raymond began to settle in, holding UVa-Wise scoreless for the next four innings.
Alex Azeredo ignited the King offense with a leadoff single in the third inning. Cody Rogers followed with a bunt single, and Tyler Gaby walked to load the bases. Garrett Cook and Raymond registered back-to-back two-run doubles before Justin Trent capped the scoring with an RBI-single to left center. The Tornado (11-17-1) plated five runs on five hits to take the lead in the inning.
The Tornado added to their lead with a single run in the fifth inning before the Cavalier offense woke up again in the top of the sixth inning. Bryan Andrews registered a sacrifice fly, and Jordan Olinger followed with a run scoring double.
However, King answered with three runs in the bottom of the frame as Raymond drove in two runs with a single to left field. After Raymond stole second, Cieslewitz drove him in with a single to left field, giving the Tornado a 9-4 lead after six innings.
The Cavalier offense continued to stay hot as they plated three unearned runs in the seventh and another in the seventh to cut their deficit to 9-8.
The Tornado tried to put the game out of reach in the bottom of the eighth inning as Raymond sparked the offense with a triple down the right field line. He later scored on a wild pitch before Trent restarted the rally with a single up the middle. Trent then stole second before Carl Roberts drove him in with a double to right field to give King an 11-8 lead.
However, the Cavalier offense wasn't done as they started the ninth inning with a walk and a hit batter before King made a pitching change. A wild pitch moved the runners over, Brandon Houser struck out the next batter before Chaz Tanner scored one run with a single to center field. UVa-Wise added another run on a Tornado error before Houser got a pop out, and looked to get out of the jam. However, Steven Klaiber then rolled a single through the left side to score two and give the Cavaliers a 12-11 lead.
The Tornado were unable to answer in the bottom of the inning as the Cavaliers took the contest 12-11. Raymond led the Tornado on the mound and at the plate. He tossed six innings, allowing four runs, two earned while scattering nine hits. Offensively he went 3-for-6 with three runs scored, and drove in four runs. Cieslewitz also went 3-for-6 while Rogers went 3-for-4.
King has a quick turnaround as they host cross-town rival Virginia Intermont on Wednesday at 3:00 p.m.

Amakem Secures €1.4M Grant to Apply its Localized Drug Action Technology in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD)
Jan 03, 2013, 04:15 EST
DIEPENBEEK, Belgium, January 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Amakem NV, a kinase platform company focusing on ophthalmology, today announces it has secured a €1.4M grant from the Flemish Agency for Innovation by Science and Technology (IWT), to apply its Localized Drug Action technology to the discovery and development of novel kinase inhibitor-based therapies for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD).
IBD is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract associated with considerable morbidity and significantly affecting patients' quality of life. It primarily includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Despite the impact of the disease, currently no disease modifying drugs are available for IBD patients. There remains a clear need for new treatments, in particular safe and efficient therapeutics that aim to control the disease and increase the remission period.
Amakem has identified locally active lead molecules acting on a number of kinases which play a role in the pathology of IBD. The IWT grant will be directed to the further development of safe therapeutics that offer the potential to impact a range of factors of the disease including impaired barrier function, inflammation, fibrosis and angiogenesis but without causing systemic side effects. The goal is for Amakem to develop candidates with in vivo proof of concept in appropriate models of IBD as well as to obtain clear indications for the disease modifying properties of these molecules.
Dr. Jack Elands, CEO of Amakem, said: "This grant from the IWT again recognizes the wide potential of our Localized Drug Action technology to generate highly novel and potentially valuable new drugs across a range of indications. Our core focus remains ophthalmology, with our lead product, AMA0076, progressing through its Phase 2a clinical trial in glaucoma and ocular hypertension. However, this non-dilutive funding provides the resources to generate further value from our platform which, outside ophthalmology, has also delivered proof of concept in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma."
Dr. Dirk Leysen, CSO and Founder of Amakem and one of the inventors of the company's core technology, added: "When we first founded Amakem we believed the Localized Drug Action platform provided an opportunity to harness the therapeutic power of kinase inhibition while minimizing the impact on non-target tissues and organs. With kinases being implicated in a broad range of diseases, but also present throughout the body, localized activity is potentially hugely important. It is very gratifying to see another program underway as well as the tremendous progress we have already demonstrated in our core ophthalmology indication."
About Amakem
Amakem is an ophthalmology company developing new treatments for serious eye conditions. Amakem's product pipeline is based on its unique Localized Drug Action platform which is designed to generate safe and effective novel kinase inhibitors that minimize systemic exposure with the aim of reducing side effects. Amakem's lead candidate, AMA0076, is for glaucoma and the Company is working to apply the Localized Drug Action approach to a range of other eye diseases. AMA0076 is currently undergoing Phase 2a proof of concept trials.
Founded in 2010, Amakem has raised more than €21m in funding and is backed by leading life sciences investors including Forbion, Crédit Agricole, Vesalius BioCapital, LRM, PMV/Vinnof and Life Science Research Partners.
Amakem is based in Belgium and located in the life sciences incubator "BioVille" at the University of Hasselt. The Company has a long-standing collaboration with the Ophthalmology Research Center of the University Leuven Hospital.
About Localized Drug Action
Amakem's 'Localized Drug Action' platform is designed to generate novel kinase inhibitor drugs which are contained locally and thus reduce or eliminate side effects. Kinases are crucial mediators of important disease pathways representing more than 22% of the drugable genome. However, kinases are present throughout the body and so there is a significant risk of toxicity due to on target effects in non-target organs and tissues if there is systemic exposure. This risk is acceptable in oncology indications, but not in others thus substantially reducing the potential of drugs targeting this class.
Amakem's kinase inhibitors are designed to be rapidly inactivated outside the target organ. In indications that can be treated by topical administration, it is therefore possible to contain the drug locally as it becomes inactive before it can reach other organs or tissues if it leaks out of the target organ.
Localized Drug Action is based on the inactivation of kinase inhibitors outside the target organ, e.g. in the bloodstream by specifically targeted enzymes. Each of Amakem's kinase inhibitors brings together kinase specificity and enzymatic conversion specificity. When the drug candidate leaves the target organ it is converted to a functionally inactive metabolite. This inactive metabolite is then eliminated from the body.

Work on second unit to begin this month
The New York Power Authority has upgraded the first of 12 pump-turbines at the Niagara Hydroelectric Power Plant's Lewiston pump-generating plant as part of a 10-year, $460 million life extension and modernization program, which began late last year.
"The LPGP upgrade is in line with the Gov. Cuomo's emphasis on modernizing the state's electric power system to optimize its performance and reliability," said Gil C. Quiniones, NYPA president and CEO. "The Niagara Hydroelectric Power Plant is one of the state's premier electric power assets in terms of the enormity of its low-cost, emission-free power production. That value is being enhanced by our major ongoing investment on the multiyear upgrade at LPGP."
"The completion of work on this first pump-turbine generator marks a significant step in the critical infrastructure upgrade at our Lewiston pump-generating plant," said Joseph Kessler, NYPA senior vice president for power generation. "The Power Authority is committed to ensuring that the Niagara hydroelectric plant is able to operate at maximum efficiency for decades to come, providing some of the lowest cost electricity in the country to the region's businesses and other customers."
The modernization at LPGP provides for the upgrade of the facility's 12 pump-turbines and the replacement of generator step-up transformers, which date back to 1961 when the Niagara plant went into service. The next pump-turbine unit is scheduled to be taken out of service later this month.
LPGP provides electricity during periods of peak power demand, supplementing the output of the Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant, the main generating facility.
The work at LPGP will overhaul one pump-turbine every eight to nine months, ensuring that 11 of the 12 LPGP turbine units are available for operation during the upgrade so that NYPA can meet commitments to its power customers.
Work on the plant's refurbishing includes contract awards to Ferguson Electric of Buffalo, the largest electrical contractor in Western New York.
facilities such as LPGP store water as potential energy during off-peak hours
for later use when demand is higher. At night or on weekends, when electricity demand is low,
the pumped-generating plant's reversible pump-turbine generating units operate as pumps, transporting water from the Niagara project's forebay up to the Lewiston plant's 22-billion-gallon upper reservoir, which is approximately 70 to 120 feet higher in elevation. Surplus electricity from the Moses plant is used to power the pumps to push water into the Lewiston reservoir during the off-peak times.
During the daytime, when electricity use peaks, the pumps are reversed and become generators allowing Niagara River water to be used to produce electricity twice, with the same water flowing through the Lewiston pump-turbines and then the generating units at the Moses plant.
Together, the Moses plant and LPGP combine for a net dependable capability of 2,441 megawatts, making the Niagara plant the largest generating facility in the state and one of the largest in the country. (One MW is enough electricity to meet the power needs of 800 to 1,000 typical homes.)
LPGP is one of two major pumped storage facilities in New York state, the other being the Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Power Plant in the northern Catskills (another NYPA facility). In May 2010, the Power Authority completed a four-year overhaul of that facility.

D-III Swimming Championships Head To Tennessee For 2011
April 30, 2010
The NCAA News
The Division III Championships Committee has approved the Allan Jones Aquatic Center at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, as the site for the 2011 Division III Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Championships.
Beloit College and the College of Wooster will host the national meet March 23-26, 2011.
The meet is one week later than usual, which was necessary to secure the site. The combined men's and women's format for the Division III meet (which went into effect two years ago) has resulted in it being the largest NCAA swimming and diving meet, which limits the number of facilities that are capable of hosting such an event.
Once the Division III Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Committee secured a bid from Tennessee, arrangements were made to move the meet back one week because of facility availability.
Accordingly, the Championships Committee approved a swimming committee recommendation to maintain the current qualification deadlines, even though the meet will be held a week later than normal. That means the traditional end of the qualifying window and allowable dates for last-chance meets will remain intact.
The swimming committee noted that the date change will affect only a small percentage of the swimming population by adding one week of training for those selected to the championships. In addition, student-athletes not selected can be released for the season once selections are announced.
Committee members reasoned that maintaining the current qualification dates will allow more time for championships travel planning and likely result in a travel cost savings. Institutions that wish to participate in last-chance meets will continue to plan for participation accordingly and in compliance with NCAA Bylaw 17.
Swimming committee chair Tom Till, the men's and women's swimming and diving coach at Goucher College, said the committee's intention is not to increase the length of the playing season for all sponsoring institutions, but rather to provide the best championships experience possible for those student-athletes that are selected.
"The venue is at the heart of the championships experience for participating student-athletes and, in the estimation of the committee, a high-quality facility outweighs the consequences of moving the dates of competition," he said.
The committee also examined the impact the date change would have on institutions and conference schedules. Members found that of the 23 conferences that sponsor swimming and diving, 11 hold conference championships at a conference member facility and would have little issue in changing the dates if they so desired. In addition, the committee found potential advantages to having an additional week for those student-athletes that qualify for the national championships (for example, longer lead time to establish championships travel and logistical plans).
"Many people assumed that they would have an extra week to qualify, but the committee didn't want to string along those would-be cuts any longer or prolong the season, other than for those actually involved in the championship meet," Till said. "Also, we understood that most institutions and conferences had already solidified their 2011 schedules. To keep that as fair as possible, we decided to maintain the same selection dates. So the only thing that is a week later is the training time for those who have been selected for the meet."
The selection date for the 2011 championships is Sunday, February 27.
The site selection for 2011 continues a trend for the Division III championships to be conducted in Division I facilities designed to host premier swimming and diving events, thus giving Division III student-athletes an exceptional championship experience. Minnesota, Houston and Miami (Ohio) have hosted the Division III men's and women's meets in recent years.
Tennessee opened its Allan Jones Aquatic Center in 2008. The state-of-the-art facility has an eight-lane, 50-meter-by-25-yard competition pool, with a depth of 10 feet from end to end. The facility has a separate competition diving well that features three one- and three-meter springboards. Permanent seating accommodates 1,800 spectators with a deck area for up to 2,000 additional individuals, teams and other personnel.
"The facility at Tennessee is phenomenal and certainly capable of handling this championship meet," Till said.
Till also noted interest from other premier facilities for future events, given the size and attractiveness now of the Division III championships meet.
"As the joint swimming and diving championship continues to evolve, the committee sees an opportunity to secure high-quality facilities," he said. "We are now the biggest NCAA meet, and with the combined format requiring a facility for one week instead of two, we are suddenly a hot commodity, more so than we were previously."
The swimming committee is close to securing sites for 2012, 2013 and 2014. Members have said that it may be necessary to adopt the one-week-later date formula for one or more of these events, but that the goal is to secure a venue that can accommodate the traditional third-week-of-March formula.

- ancestor charts (the perennial favorite): Print out a family tree and frame it or have it laminated.
- old photographs: Time to share those old family photos! Make a collage of old photos or frame one or two special ancestors. Or, scan and copy your entire photo collection.
- family records: Have you found records that other relatives might appreciate possessing? For example, records of a cousin's parent? Make a gift of the records (don't forget to make yourself a copy first). You can create a binder for them in no time at all, or place them in a nice memento box if you are short on time. Not only will you be creating a gift, you will help to preserve family records by distributing them.
- DVD's: If you are handy with video programs, make a short DVD from old family videos. Videos of family Christmas gatherings are especially appreciated during the holidays.
- recipes: Are you the keeper of grandmom's secret recipe box? Time to share! Create a family recipe box or make a quick recipe binder.
- gifts for the genealogy buff (or that person you want to infect with family history fever): Give a gift subscription for an online database or pay for a DNA analysis.
- newspaper articles: Create a gift of newspaper articles for a relevant date, such as a person's date of birth.

The Holocaust Resource Center (HRC) at Kean University opened its doors in the fall of 1982. The Center is a joint initiative between the University and the Holocaust Resource Foundation, a private philanthropic organization. The Center collects and disseminates Holocaust history to foster and reinforce ongoing awareness of this tragedy throughout the community. It is closely affiliated with kean university's Human Rights Institute.
The Center offers an annual free lecture series and a tuition-free graduate course for teachers called "Teaching the Holocaust." The Center also offers a follow-up course called "Teaching Prejudice Reduction." Thousands of teachers have participated in the project. The Center's many educational programs serve as a resource for the Kean University student body and members of the local community.
In 1982 the Center launched an oral history program designed to gather and preserve the testimonies of survivors and liberators. The program has succeeded in amassing thousands of hours of first-person eyewitness accounts. The University's oral history project is associated with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., and Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The book Holocaust Testimonies in New Jersey is based on these testimonies, and available in the HRC.
The Center has hosted some of the most eminent Holocaust scholars, as well as noted authors and countless survivors. The Center also works closely with local communities that have a history of genocide, including Native Americans, Cambodians, Sudanese, Rwandans and Bosnians. In addition, the Center maintains an extensive library on the Holocaust that includes books, original sources, videotapes and testimonials of Holocaust survivors, all of which are available to students and visiting researchers.

Library History
The American Museum of Natural History is a nonprofit research institution chartered as a Museum and Library by the State of New York in 1869.
In its early years, the Library expanded its book and serial collections mostly through such gifts as the John C. Jay Library on Conchology, the Carson Brevoort Library on Fishes and General Zoology, the Ornithological Library of Daniel Giraud Elliot, the Harry Edwards Entomological Library, the Hugh Jewett collection of Voyages and Travel, and the Jules Marcou Geology Collection. In 1903 the American Ethnological Society deposited its library in the Museum and in 1905 the New York Academy of Sciences followed suit by transferring its collection of 10,000 volumes.
In 1997 the Library incorporated the Richard S. Perkin Collection in Astronomy and Astrophysics of the former Hayden Planetarium. This collection consists of over 8,000 volumes, 55 journal titles, over 10,000 photographs, and archives dating back to 1934, one year before the opening of the original Hayden Planetarium.
It has since become one of the largest natural history libraries in the world, with a collection that is rich in retrospective materials, some going back to the 15th century. It includes many materials that are difficult to find elsewhere and, as a result, forms the finest single collection for zoological systematics.
In recognition of the depth and quality of the Library's collections, other libraries in the metropolitan New York area-such as the New York Public Library and the Columbia and New York University libraries-have typically not collected heavily in the field of natural history. Local students, faculty, researchers, and the general public rely on the resources of the AMNH collection, as do scholars at the national and international levels. Consolidation of the Library's holdings in one central collection provides significant advantages for users as well as insuring greater efficiency in collections management.

I paid about $200 last time registering with a bunch of roommate services and got absolutely no results. It too me months to find something. It only took me a week with your service. Thanks! - Susan
Hello, I have successfully found a roommate through your service and want to thank you. Prior to signing up I put an ad in the local paper which covers 15 communities for two weeks and never even got a single response. Within 2-3 weeks with you I wrote to several people I thought may be a good match - I also received interested responses to my ad as well. It just worked. I wouldn't hesitate to refer someone to your service. A satisfied customer. Best Regards, - Chris

Outkast star Andre 3000 insists fans should thank his hero Prince for the success of the group's 20th anniversary festival tour - because his advice helped the singer get into the right mindset for the shows.
The Ms. Jackson hitmaker admits he was worried Outkast's big comeback show at Coachella in April (14) would be a big let down for fans - because he couldn't summon up the passion he needed to wow them.
He tells the New York Times, "I kind of fluffed through rehearsals (and) a few hours before the Coachella show, I get a message that Prince and Paul McCartney are going to be there. My spirit is not right, and idols are standing side-stage, so as the show started, I'm bummed. This is horrible. In my mind I was already gone to my hotel room halfway through."
Two days after the show, Andre 3000 received a phone call from Prince, who set him straight.
He recalls, "It was my first time actually talking to Prince. He said, 'When you come back, people want to be wowed. And what's the best way to wow people? Just give them the hits'.
"He broke it down like this: 'You're a grown man. You're either going to do it or you're not'."
The chat prompted the singer, real name Andre Benjamin, to stop over-thinking his act and to start enjoying himself onstage in front of fans who were thrilled to see him perform.

If an item owned by the Library cannot be found in the collection, you may request that it be obtained via inter-library loan.
Do I have to pay for interlibrary loans?
There is no charge for this service, as long as the number of requests submitted is not excessive. Please note that interlibrary loan services are for Museum related research and business only, and not for personal use.
How will I know when the item I requested has arrived?
You will be notified by phone or email when the item arrives. Incoming items may be picked up at the Reference/Circulation Desk during regular Library hours. You will be asked to sign that you have received the item.
How long does it take to receive items through interlibrary loan?
Most items take two to four weeks to arrive. Some items are more difficult to obtain and may take longer.
What is the length of the loan period?
Loan periods are established by the lending library and can vary. A typical loan period is three weeks.
Where do I return my loan?
Loans must be returned at the Reference/Circulation Desk.

My first inspiration
Added Sep 17, 2013
by liliv-1
Athens, Greece
Hi!! This is my mother wearing a self-made dress! Isn't she cute wearing this and having this glance saying: " I made this wonderful dress myself" at her face? When I see these pictures I can understeand why I love so much to sew, so she is my first inspiration!!! ! The pattern she used is burda model 08-2009-113 … she added a pleat at the middle and a fabric belt. I liked the model at the magazine but I think that my mother's dress is even more pretty … she almost convinced me to try this pattern myself:) I hope you like my mother's dress as much as I do
p.s. 1 This is also my new place to live, a real paradise
p.s. 2 She also added shoulder pads because she thinks she has very narrow shoulders and I can't convince her that we are not at the 80s any more:P

Your mum has got the style and the taste and she's really shining in her dress, besides I think it's not just her beautiful outfit makes impression – it her inner beauty and kindness that talk. To be inspired by mum is probably the best way to be inspired. If our mums have good taste and love to sewing, who else could be the greater supporter for us than they? I'm glad that you and your mum have common addiction to sewing and share your love so sincerely:-)

Thank you so much Oksana, sure my mom will be very touched by your kind comments, especially about the inner beauty:))! I think that every lady of us when wearing a self-made dress has a special pride and joy which is obvious at the expression of her face!! This joy is what motivates me to sew and it's the only thing that my mom "teached" me about sewing (the rest I figured them out on my own)!! You know my mother sees many of the creations here and we talk about them some times! She liked very much your Blue Safari and your navy blue party dress.
Sep 19, 2013, 02.41 PMby Oksana Starzhynska
Greeting to your mum, I'm flattered really. My mum is my first inspiration, too. Because, in fact, she made almost all of my clothes when I was a child. She didn't teach me to sew either and when I grew up, stopped sewing herself, she said that only could wear clothes of high quality – it meant made by me, and I did it many years when worked as tailor; not any more now. But my mum is still my first critic and a photographer.
Sep 20, 2013, 09.35 AMby liliv-1
I really would love to see your mother's sewing, even from a past photo!

Have you been here in Greece? It's as very pretty place but so hard to live here because of the economical situation! My mum rocks?? This was THE copliment! I think the same: she really rocks!!
Sep 20, 2013, 04.23 AMby bethmaryharley
I have visited Greece! I actually studied Classics at university and had to take Ancient Greek for two years, so it was a dream come true for me to visit! And the food! Pure heaven! I dream of olives and tomatoes as tasty as those I ate in Greece…! It is so sad about the economy and it must be very hard at the moment. My husband is Irish and it seems to be very similar – I really hope things pick up soon!
Sep 20, 2013, 10.03 AMby liliv-1
I'm very glad you liked our olives and tomatoes, they are my favorites here too!!! It's very scarse to hear about them, usually I hear about mousakas and souvlaki!

I love your Mum's dress and she can obviously sew beautifully still and with a not so easy fabric. Good for her. You should get your Mum to sign up as a Burda Style member so we can all see her latest creations. Is your new home in Athens or near by??

She lives with me the last two years, because I change places due to my job and wants to be near me! I agree with you about the member thing and I can do it myself: she knows almost nothing about internet and she can' t speak English. The hard thing is to convince her that posting here is not something inappropriate for her age and that there are a ton of ladies who would love to see her creations.

In 1992 the surviving members of Queen invited friends and fellow musicians to pay tribute to the late Freddie Mercury. The concert included performances from over a dozen top rock and pop artists of the day, from David Bowie to Guns N' Roses to Metallica and Def Leppard. Later this summer 34 different performances from that night will be available on 'The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert: The Definitive Edition' DVD and Blu-Ray.
The opening act performances have never before been available on DVD or BluRay. These include mini-sets from Metallica, a Queen medley from Extreme, Def Leppard and Brian May performing 'Now I'm Here' and two songs from Axl Rose and company.
The second disc will feature the main set, including multiple artists joining May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon to sing Queen hits. Gary Cherone and Tony Iommi perform 'Hammer to Fall.' Robert Plant sings 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love.' Other artists included on the 20-track second disc include Elton John, George Michael, Liza Minnelli and Seal.
A third disc of bonus material includes rehearsal performances, the 10th anniversary documentary and photo galleries. The concert raised money for the Mercury Phoenix Trust, a charity designed to provide relief of suffering from AIDS.
Fans commenting on the news at the band's website expressed disappointment that the entire concert is not included in this package. Also, it's not clear yet if the DVD and BluRay will be available in the United States, or on the same date. A link to order the project goes the U.K. Amazon site and a search of Amazon.com did not produce a satisfying result.

Mayon Volcano's (13.2500°N, 123.6833°E) seismic network did not record any volcanic earthquake during the past 24 hour observation period. Moderate emission of white steam clouds drifting west-southwest was observed from the summit. Crater glow was not visible last night due to thick rain clouds. Results of ground deformation survey (precise leveling) conducted last 31 May 2011 to 04 June 2011 showed slight inflation of the volcano's edifice as compared with 06-10 March survey.
Alert Level 1 remains in effect over Mayon Volcano. Although this means that no eruption is imminent, it is recommended that the public should not enter the 6-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) due to the continuing threat from sudden small explosions and rockfalls from the upper and middle slopes of the volcano. Active stream/river channels and those perennially identified as lahar prone areas in the southern sector should also be avoided especially during bad weather conditions or when there is heavy and prolonged rainfall. DOST-PHIVOLCS is closely monitoring Mayon Volcano's activity and any new development will be relayed to all concerned.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Senate committee on Thursday approved Sally Jewell's nomination to lead the Interior Department after the Obama administration struck a deal with a Republican senator over the construction of an emergency road for a remote Alaskan town.
With a vote of 19 to 3 in favor, Jewell's nomination will now move on for consideration by the full Senate. It is unclear when that vote will be held.
Senator Lisa Murkowski, the top Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, had threatened to hold up Jewell's nomination after the Interior Department signaled it would block construction of a road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge connecting the residents of King Cove, Alaska, to an airport in nearby Cold Bay.
King Cove residents said the road was needed for emergency medical evacuations, but the department's environmental review last month said the road would damage the ecology of the refuge.
After discussions between Murkowski, current Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Senate Energy Committee Chairman Ron Wyden on Wednesday night, the department said it would take a second look at the proposal for the road.
As part of this deal, the department will evaluate whether its environmental review adequately considered protecting human health. It also will consult with native groups and hold public hearings on the issue in King Cove.
"This process that the secretary has laid out doesn't get the people of King Cove their road tomorrow, but what it does allow for is a re-assessment of what Fish and Wildlife did with their assessment," Murkowski told reporters after voting in favor of moving Jewell's nomination out of the committee.
The additional review will likely last at least nine months, meaning the ultimate decision will almost certainly fall to Jewell if she is confirmed.
Murkowski said the first environmental review was flawed because it did not properly account for the "human factor" and the needs of the residents.
Despite the vote to move the nomination ahead, Murkowski and other lawmakers on both sides of the aisle raised concerns that Jewell had not fully answered questions posed by the senators and said they planned to continue to seek answers.
Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, who voted against Jewell, said he remains unconvinced the chief executive of outdoor gear and clothing retailer REI and former banker has the right experience to lead Interior.
"During her confirmation hearing she struggled to answer some central questions about issues under the control of the department," Barrasso said.
Barrasso also repeated questions about Jewell's role on the board of trustees for the National Parks Conservation Association, an independent group that advocates on behalf of the national parks system.
The group has ongoing lawsuits against the federal government over public lands, which Barrasso has said represents a conflict of interest for Jewell.
Murkowski plans to continue to press Jewell for more detailed responses to dozens of questions submitted to her, including queries regarding administration plans that could add new conservation areas to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Wyden told reporters he planned to work with members of the committee to see when they would be comfortable bringing a vote on Jewell to the Senate floor.

Ponytails are most commonly gathered at the middle of the back of the head, or the base of the neck.

Women (as opposed to girls) complying with European fashion of the Georgian period and to the 20th century rarely were seen outside of the boudoir with their hair in such an informal style as a ponytail.
Today, both women and girls commonly wear their hair in ponytails in informal and office settings or when exercising; they are likely to choose more elaborate styles (such as braids and those involving accessories) for formal occasions. It is a practical choice as it keeps hair out of the eyes. It will keep the hair off the neck as well. The ponytail is also popular with school-aged girls, partly because flowing hair is often associated with youth and because of its simplicity; a young girl is likely to be able to retie her own hair after a sports class, for example. A ponytail can also be a fashion statement; sometimes meaning sporty, other times a low pony tail sends signals of a chic personality.

In the last week, TAC activists have mounted two different protests against the antiretroviral treatment (ART) moratorium in the Free State. Since November 2008, a moratorium on the ART roll-out has been in place in the Free State province. This means that no new patients have been initiated onto this life-saving treatment since then. Access to other essential healthcare services, including CD4 tests, has also been drastically reduced.
Last week, representatives of the AIDS Law Project (ALP) who visited the Free State met a man who was in hospital with a CD4 count of 8, but who had not been put onto a waiting list or given any assurances that he would be granted access to life-saving ART. Evidence from the Free State strongly suggests that the supply of drugs for existing patients is also inadequate, and that patients currently on ART have already suffered interruptions to their treatment regimens.
The ART moratorium in the Free State violates the right of comprehensive access to healthcare. Government has promised that the ART moratorium will be lifted in a few days. TAC, ALP, COSATU and other civil society organizations are monitoring the situation closely to ensure that new patients are initiated onto ART. We welcome the announcement by Health Minister Hogan that a team of 20 financial experts will be deployed to every province to ensure against a repeat of the poor budgetary planning and management which have led to the ART moratorium in the Free State. But the moratorium has resulted in untold suffering and likely death.
This is why TAC has taken to the streets in the past week to demonstrate our frustration with the needless pain and death caused by ART delays, and to show solidarity with patients in the Free State who have been denied access to essential healthcare services.
TAC's first action was a march which began inside Pelonomi Hospital in the Free State. The march was organised by comrade Sello Mokhalipi and led by TAC Chairperson Nonkosi Khumalo and Deputy Chairperson Tebogo Klaas. Activists marched to the headquarters of the MEC for Health, Sakhiwo Belot, where a memo was presented by Nonkosi to a representative of MEC Belot. The memo condemned the ART moratorium and demanded its immediate abolition. The memo also made demands for more information about the budgeting shortfall, and for far greater accountability in the Free State Department of Health.
TAC's second action this week was a picket outside parliament in Cape Town, chosen for its proximity to Finance Minister Trevor Manuel as he delivered his annual budget speech which outlined government's health expenditure plan for the next financial year. The picket was also attended by activists from COSATU, the Social Justice Coalition and other civil society partners.
TAC General Secretary Vuyiseka Dubula explained that the picket was a demonstration of solidarity with people in the Free State who have been unable to access life-saving healthcare services. The General Secretary confirmed that the picket was not a means of attacking the Health Minister. However, Vuyiseka stated that TAC will never remain silent in the face of the suffering and death of people in South Africa. The General Secretary delivered a memo to a representative of Minister Manuel. The memo demands an immediate end to the current moratorium on the ART roll-out in the Free State, and an independent investigation into the financial crisis which led to the moratorium.
TAC, ALP and COSATU acknowledge that the situation in the Free State is indicative of greater issues of planning, management and accountability within provincial Health Departments. We will closely monitor the way health budgets are planned and spent, and will continue to call for greater financial accountability and transparency.
As part of TAC's campaign around the crisis in provincial health budgets, TAC will create materials to strengthen public understanding of the Public Finance Management Act. Education is essential so that activists and our communities can hold government accountable for poor budgeting practices which threaten to disrupt access to ART and other essential healthcare services.
Further details of the campaign will be decided by TAC Secretariat and the Provincial Council, in consultation with TAC staff in districts. If people living with HIV in the Free State are not granted access to ART within a matter of days, TAC will mobilise nationally along with our partners to bring an immediate end to this violation of our right to comprehensive healthcare, and to the needless suffering and death of people in the Free State.

Press release 185/2017
25 October 2017
The Development Assistance Committee of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) is in the process of finalising a peer review of Finland's development cooperation efforts. The review report to be published in December praises Finland for its provision of rapid and flexible humanitarian aid, while it also urges Finland to prepare a schedule for raising its development assistance to meet the target level of 0.7% of GNI.
The OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) has been engaged in the peer review process examining the Finnish development policy and development cooperation for about a year. The review process culminates in a peer review meeting to be held in Paris on 25 October. In the meeting, Finland will present its responses to the examiners' observations and recommendations. The Finnish delegation is led by Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Kai Mykkänen.
The peer review examines the recent-year trends in the Finnish development cooperation and takes a look at how Finland has managed to address the previous recommendations issued by the OECD.
Finland is praised for providing humanitarian aid in a rapid and flexible manner. Finland receives recognition also for the fact that it has successfully concentrated its assistance on select partner countries and thematic priorities. Concentration on areas where Finland has own expertise has further enhanced the impact of Finland's development cooperation efforts. These include the promotion of the rights of women and girls and the position of disabled people in the development cooperation.
In the review meeting, Finland will present its achievements in the field of disability inclusion to the other DAC members.
"Finland has engaged in long-term efforts to improve the position of people with disabilities since the 1980s. Our cooperation with disabled people's own organisations is downright unique in the international scale," says Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Kai Mykkänen.
Peer reviews conducted by the OECD Development Assistance Committee provide member countries with an opportunity to learn from each other's best practices. The review process is characterised by constructive criticism: the reviewed member is encouraged to further improve its development cooperation.
Finland is urged to draw up a scheduled roadmap on how it will raise the level of its official development assistance to the set target level of 0.7% of GNI.
The peer review also examines another priority area in the Finnish development policy, i.e. the advancement of the economies of developing countries through collaboration with the private sector. The review calls for Finland to outline more precise policies for the cooperation with the private sector. Finland is also encouraged to ensure that emphasising the role of the private sector does not draw attention away from eradication of poverty.
"Eradicating extreme poverty and reducing poverty and inequality are the main objectives for our development policy. These objectives cannot, however, be achieved, if developing countries do not manage to enhance their economies and create jobs. This is what Finland's cooperation with the private sector is all about. The cooperation also places emphasis on the enhancement of climate know-how in the developing countries," Minister Mykkänen says.
The Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD conducts reviews of the development cooperation efforts of each Committee member every five years. Spain and Italy served as the examiners and Israel as the observer in the review of Finland. The peer review report will be published in Helsinki on 8 December.
Inquiries: Satu Santala, Director General of the Department for Development Policy, tel. +358 40 752 1770, and Pasi Rajala, Special Adviser to the Minister for Foreign Trade and Development, tel. + 358 400 464 393.
The Foreign Ministry's email addresses are in the format firstname.lastname@example.com.

Students get look into future at career fair
DANBURY -- Junior Achievement of Western Connecticut and companies at the Matrix Corporate Center teamed up earlier this week to give local students a first-hand look at potential career paths.
During the event, executives with Guideposts, Odyssey Logistics and General Motors gave more than 70 participating students insights into working with the respective companies and the array of career choices that are available to them within the organizations. Students from Danbury, Bethel, Brookfield and Newtown attended the career fair.
"This is a great opportunity to bring local students and businesses together," said Cosmo Alberico, executive vice president and COO of Odyssey Logistics and a Junior Achievement board member. "It helps students to bridge the gap between what they learn in school and how it's applied in a real-world setting."
Alberico added that students who participated in the event spent the day in a variety of seminars to give them an idea of what the companies do, the career paths available and what skills and qualities are necessary to take advantage of those opportunities.
Alberico spoke with the students about the importance for companies to differentiate from their competition and stand out in a crowd, skills he looks for when hiring new employees including problem solving and a positive attitude.
The students also had the opportunity to check out some of General Motors' latest models, including a victory red 2014 Corvette Stingray convertible that was the favorite of both students, teachers and chaperones. The Detroit-based automotive giant has a regional office at the corporate center.
Andrew Amico, 15, a freshman at Bethel High School, said the event gave him the chance to "visualize" his future opportunities. Amico, who has been involved with Junior Achievement since the 5th grade, said he is aiming for a career in finance or architecture.
"It was a lot better than just sitting in class all day," he said. "There were lots of real life examples of what we could do in the future. For example, I never knew that GM had a need for finance. That could be an option."

Last week we saw HTC teasing a new 4G phone and now all signs point to it being the Thunderbolt 4G, which should be announced by Verizon on January 6th at CES. We had been calling this phone the Incredible HD or Mecha, but the Thunderbolt name first appeared last week on Droid Life. Now there have been new HTC ads popping up which say "It's not your dream phone. It's the one after that", which Phil from Android Central points out that they link to htc.com/4G?extcid=Thunderbolt-4G-Disp.
Select members of the press (not us) also started receiving a teaser box from HTC last week that was filled with clues. The package included an Android figure, compass (hint: HTC maps), four "G" buttons attached to the keychain (hint: Verizon 4G), foam TV set (hint: V Cast video), "Froyo Lover" sticker (Android 2.2), and a video chat screen shot showing Las Vegas (hint: front-facing camera and unveiling at CES).
Based on previous leaks, we think the Thunderbolt 4G will be Verizon's version of the Desire HD (or myTouch 4G in the U.S.). That means we should expect a 4.3 inch display, 1 GHz second-generation Snapdragon CPU, 8 megapixel camera with 720p video capture, 768 MB RAM, and support for Verizon's 4G LTE network.
Verizon will have a half-dozen LTE devices at CES next week, so it will be interesting to see how they stack up. We are expecting new 4G phones from HTC, LG, Motorola, Samsung, and maybe a few surprises.
Which handset maker do you think will have the best Android phone at CES?
Update: The correct URL for the HTC sign-up page is http://www.htc.com/us/4G?extcid=Thunderbolt-4G-Disp

Going 3–1 in the West (with a point added for Pronger's demise) pales in comparison to actually predicting 3 of 4 series correctly in the East. Let's look at your old Uncle Wanye's Eastern Report card:
- Montreal over Boston—Correct
- Pittsburgh over Ottawa—Correct
- Philadelphia over Washington—Correct
- Devils over New York—Incorrect
We're 3–1 in the East for reals, yo. We get the East. We get the East like Britney Spears gets parenting.
100% of the time, 100% of the time.
Let's not stop the rock, and get down to business.
Montreal (1) vs Philly (6)
First thing's first. When Lupul scored the series winner over the Caps, we almost had a stroke we were so mad. Lupul? Oh puh-lease. Joffrey Lupul deserves a series winner about as much as this guy deserves to win the lottery twice in the same day. Nonetheless, ol' Eyelashes potted the winner and the Flyers advance to round two.
Can the Habs keep the dream alive? Price seems to be Patrick Roy reincarnated—except the original isn't dead… yet. We've said too much already.
(awkward pause)
What of the Flyers? Can they keep their physical play up? Or has the series against Washington ground them down? Time will tell. This should be the best series to watch, other than Crosby & Co destroying the Czech National Team in New York.
Montreal in 7
Pittsburgh (2) vs NYR (5)
Man, how lucky is Glen Sather? He goes from small-market Edmonton to big money New York. Drops cash like its going out of style, and provides generous retirement packages to many a fading NHL star, or each and every brief-flash-in-the-pan player.
By handing out ridiculous contracts like giving Holik $45 million over five years the same day he gave Kasparitis a six-year $25.5 million dollar deal, Sather probably single-handedly financed the high-priced lap dance industry in Manhattan for almost a decade.
Then the salary cap comes in, paying stupid money goes out, and basically closes Slats' cheque book, making the Rangers no longer the place good players go to get rich and suck till they quit or die. But then Lundqvist falls out of the sky, Jagr decides he needs to play hockey a few more years to finance his online gambling habit and BAM: you have yourself a team again, Glen.
Contrast this to the Penguins. They seem to think the time to win is now, before players get too expensive and get snapped up by the Sathers of the world. One day soon, Malkin will demand $187 million over 46 years and someone *cough* The Islanders *cough* will pay it and the team is broken up. But until then, let the good times roll, huh Pens fans?
We like the Pens, and we hope Sather doesn't take an interest in any of them and ruins things in the off-season by trying to sign any of them.
Pittsburgh in 6
