[Music Playing]
[Girls Screaming]
Sara Weinshenk: I think he's adorable.
Older Bachelorette: I wish I was, what? Thirty years younger?
Michelle Taylor: He's the whole package.
Sara Weinshenk: Every girl is just gonna like, pounce on him.
[Girls screaming]
David Spade: Hey! The bangs are here!
David Spade: All right, I'll make this brief because I know a lot of those dresses are rented.
David Spade: Wow! I see so much desperation in this room it's making my dick shrink up a little bit.
David Spade: I'm actually surprised to be here, because of how hard I cried like a pu**y after the last bachelorette sh** on me during the final rose ceremony. Sort of embarrassing.
David Spade: But, I guess I'm back because it's good TV to watch me take it out on all of you bi**hes. Which I am more than happy to do.
David Spade: I'm still so pis**d off at that tw*t.
David Spade: But, being paid a sh** load to come back makes it feel a little bit better. Am I right, ladies?
[All Laughing]
David Spade: Woo! Shut up!
David Spade: That's right. I'm secretly a di*k, but no one is gonna find that out until after they get the ring. Mm. Frowny face.
David Spade: Now, as history shows most of you will fall in love with me within minutes for some inexplicable reason.
David Spade: Maybe because of bad parenting, low self-esteem, or a combination of the two. I'm just gonna judge you quickly off the top of my head. Just the first thing that comes to my mind, like, I'm in a club or a who*e house.
David Spade: All right, I look out, I see a couple of fine a*s bit**es, and a couple of ratty ones from the Valley.
David Spade: Looks like this one over here just rolled in from getting finger blasted at a Lil Wayne after party.
David Spade: Please, don't cut to a black contestant by the way. Who am I kidding? There's no black contestants on The Bachelor, it's ABC! Woo!
[Girls Cheering]
David Spade: Uh, a few in the back look like you're hopped up on God knows what drugs. There has to be enough Adderol in this room to feed a family of ten for a year.
David Spade: Doesn't make sense, but laugh anyway.
[Girls Laugh]
David Spade: Quickly scanning the others I see fat, stupid, a couple Devry girls, sorta cross-eyed over here, a little junk in the trunk, junk in the face, wonky boob job, boxer ears, ah, we got one old lady over there.
David Spade: Honey, you might walk home with another pearl necklace if you get my drift. I'm gonna ji*z on you.
[Girls Laugh]
David Spade: And we got one that looks like she probably boned her dad. That's just off of the top of my head, I'm probably thirty percent off.
David Spade: So, let's do this! I'm gonna walk through with a few of you. Go through the motions on a few fake dates and get my check.
David Spade: FYI, this is gonna be a fu** fest. Everybody. It's gonna be a Toyota fu**athon.
David Spade: All right? Keep the guys from Guinness Book on the air, there's gonna be some plowage.
David Spade: No such thing as date rape on this show. Check your contract.
[Girls Cheer]
David Spade: This girl knows what I'm talkin' about.
David Spade: My advice? Camp out on the other end of my co*k as quickly as possible. That'll keep you around a week.
David Spade: When in doubt, drop your drawers. Okay? No prizes for being a prude, here. Certainly no rings.
David Spade: All right. In closing, you're all idiots. Um, and I'll try to fu** you. And I'll probably marry the stupidest one.
David Spade: Let's have some fun! All right!
Female Contestants: Cheers!
David Spade: I'm super horny! Woo!
[Girls Cheer]
Announcer: We're looking for great guys to bone our next bachelorette. For more information, go to Honest Bachelor dot ABC dot com.

Key Details and a Theme - Make a connection
Lesson 8 of 11
Objective: SWBAT assemble the key details of a story and examine story structure in collaborative conversations to report ideas, the theme of a chapter, and connect the theme to the world.
Big Idea: Retell the key details, determine a theme, and connect to the real world by reporting to the class.
- Little Bear by Else Minarik I chose this book because the character is familiar and it has different themes for each chapter
- Town Mouse and Country Mouse and Lion and the Mouse books to show and spur kid's memories
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: key detail, connecting, theme, character, setting, events, problem, solution
- Key details theme & connection worksheet
- Key Details and a Theme-Make a Connection powerpoint
- Whiteboard set up
Resources (4)
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)
Engage the students:
- Bring in background knowledge with the Little Bear book and slide (slide 2)
- "Do any of you know this character?** Did you see the tv show with this character? What is this character like?"
Bring students to a common learning point:
- "Today we will look at this story in 3 ways. What do these 3 things have to do with reading? Any ideas?" (slide 3)
- Explain the concepts - "The key represents 'key ideas'. The lock represents the 'theme' of the story, and the door represents the 'connection' to your world."
**I like to show this book (and the powerpoint slide) because my students are familiar with this character or have seen the TV show. They immediately voice that what they've seen, what they know about this character and some books that they've read. By bringing all of the students to this interest level and to the same common knowledge, they are ready to move on and learn a new skill.

Teacher's Turn
Introduce the lesson:
(I taught identifying details and connecting to a story in 2 previous lessons- "Connecting to the Theme With Elmer" and "Details, Details, Details".
- Discuss key details - powerpoint slides 4-5
- The hand visual shows how many key details to retell for a story. (I use the idea of fingers for key details because my students tend to tell too many details. I tell them if I run out of fingers, I have too many details.)
- Review what details to include with the headers for story elements.
- I try to make this very concrete for my kids. Some students can go beyond this concept and do a good job of identifying key details, but as an introduction, I use the finger visual with story element details.
- Discuss theme - slide 6
**I used fairy tales in these slide because they are common knowledge for my students. I showed the book and we reviewed what happened in the story. Since this is a new skill, I wanted to use known text/illustrations to practice the novel questioning.
Modeling and Guided Practice:
- Preview the picture or book. Previewing helps us connect to the story and bring in what we know. "I remember that this story - it was about....."
- "Let's figure out the key details of these stories". (slide 7-12) Let's count on our fingers
- (Flip out the first finger) – "I need to know the character and setting".
- (Second finger out) "What was the problem?"
- (Third and fourth finger out) "What were 2 more events?"
- (Last finger out) "What was the solution?"
- "What's the theme - the big idea? What lesson can we learn from this? Sometimes we call this the 'moral' of the fairy tale. Get student ideas
The shift in Common Core standards to 'close reading' and using text features to answer questions if evidenced here. The students must look at story elements to verify information in the text. (RL.2.5) They must also determine the theme and key details (RL.2.2) by analyzing the author's purpose and finding details in the illustrations and text.

Students Take A Turn
Assign the task
- Students determine key details and theme in groups
- Students will work in groups. Review rules using the group rules poster. Use predetermined groups or assign as necessary – make sure there is mixed ability in the group. There are 4 chapters, so plan accordingly).
- Students preview the chapter and look over the pictures and headings. "Previewing is a great way to start 'connecting'. This is a video of how this looks when we preview the chapter
Students work in groups
- Students fill out the organizer Here are examples of a student artifact and another student artifact.
- During group work, walk around and ask students them to explain their answers. Ask for text examples and look at their reasoning – "What is that a good connection? Why did they pick that theme?" – See one of my student explaining answers in this video.
When students work together collaboratively and follow agreed-upon rules, they are exemplifying the Common Core Standard SL.2.1. The Standards encourage students to shift from individual work to 'rich structured conversations' with diverse partners.
Resources (5)
Apply What You've Learned
Explain the task
- Each group will come up and present their organizer to the class." Call out the chapters and let the kids present.
Reflect on what we learned:
- "Wow it was great to hear the whole story. Since each group reported the details and theme, we can understand the whole story."
- "What was different in each chapter? (details, theme, connections)? What was the same? Did this story have more than one theme? Stories often have multiple themes."
When students have the chance to recount details with supporting evidence, they are productive members of productive conversations, a new shift in the Common Core standards toward collaborative learning. (SL.2.4)
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be easily scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
Groups should be of mixed ability. Kids with high and low language levels can always learn from each other when working collaboratively. Make sure the special education students can copy answers on the organizer or get help from a friend. When reading the book, groups will have a 'reader'. Attention to group roles (reader, timekeeper, etc) should be well thought out so the students' skills sets are appropriately accommodated for – higher student as reader, lower student as timekeeper).

Making Colorado, the new branding initiative for the state of Colorado, on Wednesday gave the first glimpses of logos and slogans that could eventually adorn the likes of state troopers' vehicles, license plates, websites and letterhead.
Making Colorado quietly unveiled the designs and phrases that resulted from a 12-person creative team's eight-week effort that was supplemented by assessment from marketing and branding experts from across the globe.
Several members of Boulder's business and creative communities -- including former advertising executive Alex Bogusky -- are playing significant roles in the Making Colorado campaign.
In a message sent Wednesday to people who signed up to receive e-mail alerts about the campaign, Making Colorado officials displayed three logos and directed residents to MakingColorado.gov to provide input on the preliminary designs and slogans.
Each of the three logos contain either the abbreviation "CO" or the Colorado name. The logos themselves range from a triangle doubling as a mountain peak, the word Colorado with a rectangle set off like an exponent and a green and red "CO" under a horizontal bar.
The slogans unveiled Wednesday -- "rise" and "ever upward" -- are two of six phrases that will be revealed during the coming days on MakingColorado.gov.
The designs remain a work in progress.
"...These concepts are not final and may not be selected at the culmination of the Making Colorado process," the initiative's representatives said in the e-mail. "They are being shared to help Making Colorado gather feedback from residents. So, please, share your thoughts and help shape the future of Colorado."
the coming weeks, officials will take the input received via the Making Colorado website and tweak, tailor and possibly overhaul the branding concepts, said Aaron Kennedy, Colorado's chief marketing officer and head of the Making Colorado effort.
That work already is underway, Kennedy said, describing a meeting where officials analyzed 300 different iterations of the mountain peak design.
"Even just the subtle change in color can have a remarkably powerful impact," he said.
Kennedy used Coca-Cola as an example: Imagine if Coke's iconic red color had a greater tinge of orange or pink.
"The same is true with these concepts," he said.
The three concepts eventually will be narrowed to one choice. From there,
there might be several hundred different takes before the final product is presented to the Innovation Network Summit on Aug. 29.
"It's going to be dynamic," Kennedy said.
The Making Colorado activities could yield elements of a logo, symbol or watermark, as well as a supporting typeface, color palette and a tagline. The brand could be integrated into the more than two dozen state departments, potentially land on license plates and be incorporated into tourism efforts.
The brand style guide will stipulate the look and feel of every creative element that is produced for the state of Colorado and provide a consistent look to the branding of its 22 agencies, Kennedy said.
As a result, he added, Making Colorado could streamline some government processes because state agencies and departments would not have to labor over the creation, development and implementation of their brands and logos. Additionally, having a clear brand could boost trade, tourism and economic development, he added.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper launched the branding initiative earlier this year.
The $1 million effort is privately funded.

Manchester woman overwhelmed by help finding her dog
July 22. 2013 6:36PM
MANCHESTER — Colleen Gould wants to thank everyone who helped in the search for her neighbor's dog, Ares, who unlike his namesake God of War, was spooked by an M-80 firecracker set off in the West Hancock/Goffe streets neighborhood Sunday evening about 7:30.
Gould said she and her boyfriend were keeping an eye on Ares, whose owner was not home. But when Gould's boyfriend opened the gate to check on Ares, the dog bolted.
She said Ares, a mastiff-Rhodesian mix, weighs about 55 pounds and nearly knocked over her boyfriend as he fled. The two immediately went searching for the dog, not even stopping to put on their shoes.
"A lady came up to me and said: 'He ran into my car,' " said Gould, who added that the woman provided her information for contact. Gould said the neighborhood rallied and joined the search.
She said police officers were also among those keeping an eye out, passing along information like the dog being in the river and, later, on Varney Street.
Gould also put information about Ares on Facebook, alerting Granite State Dog Recovery, a volunteer nonprofit dedicated to reuniting lost pets and their families.
"I was getting lots of texts," Gould said.
Two children from the neighborhood, ages 8 and 13, accompanied Gould on her personal search for Ares. At one point she heard he was in the river, so Gould climbed down the ledges.
"I went into the river," she said. "I could hear him," but she could not see him.
"But he found his way out of the river," she said.
Gould marvels at how many people helped in the search. Complete strangers joined in, she said.
"I was overwhelmed by people's compassion," she said, and wanted to express her gratitude.
Finally, after covering what she estimates is a 3-mile radius of the area, she went home, close to midnight.
"I kept the gate open," she said. "He walked right in."
Ares' owner, Bonnie Stringfellow, said: "I can't even put into words how grateful and overwhelmed with how many people dropped everything and searched for my beloved dog. To everyone who took the time to selflessly care about a complete stranger, I am eternally grateful. God Bless you all."
Gould said the story ends with "happily ever after," except for Ares: "He's got a swollen nose."

The Sawyer Business School recognized four exceptional faculty members earlier this week with awards for service, teaching, research, and administrative service.
Michael Behnam, Associate Dean/Dean of Graduate Programs and Academic Affairs and Director of Global Travel Seminars, presented the awards.
Excellence in Service
Arnold Kamis, associate professor of Information System and Operations Management, was awarded for his excellence in service. He has served on more than 10 committees throughout his time at Suffolk and is an active member in his community.
"Arnold has a passion for excellence, and he works hard to ensure our school reflects that same high standard," one nominator remarked. "He truly goes above and beyond and embodies the characteristics of a worthy recipient of the service award," another noted.
Excellence in Teaching
Professor George Moker, director of the Center for Entrepreneurship, was recognized for his excellence in teaching. On a five-point scale, Moker's courses are typically rated 4.92-5.
Behnam shared several praises from Moker's students.
"This was my favorite class this semester. Everything about this class is wonderful. It is by far the best course I have taken," one student wrote about one of Moker's courses.
Many others agreed, with one declaring Moker the "best professor at Suffolk." Another student said, "I will never meet a better instructor."
Excellence in Research
The third award went to Lydia Segal, associate professor of Business Law and Ethics, for excellence in research.
"Lydia had an illustrious and very productive career as a scholar long before she joined us," Behnam said as he presented Segal with the honor.
Segal has published several works on corruption in the public school systems in United States, including Battling Corruption in America's Public Schools, which Tom Peters called, "the most important book on education in half a century."
Excellence in Administrative Service
Assistant Dean of Graduate Programs and Dean of MBA Programs Lillian Hallberg was the first ever to receive the Dean's award for excellent administrative service. The award recognizes the enormous dedication that so many Suffolk University administrators put in every year to serve students in the best possible way, Behnam explained.
"Lill really pours her heart into her work. Even at the end of her usual 12-hour days, she is energetic and upbeat. She is truly passionate about her work," he said.
He described her as the mother, the father, the aunt, and the uncle to Suffolk's graduate students. "She always has the best interests of the students at heart, and while she's strict and clear, she's also caring and compassionate," he added. "Lil has a unique ability to hire and develop people.

The June 9 WASDE report from USDA showed corn prices projected at a record high of $6-7/bu. Soybean prices were up $1 on each end of the range with a projection of $13-15/bu. for the 2011-2012 marketing year. Corn ending stocks are expected to be the lowest globally since 2006-2007. Soybean stocks, however, are projected up, due to lower projected exports.
Get the complete report from USDA.
Projected U.S. feed grain supplies for 2011-2012 are sharply lower with reduced prospects for corn acreage. Corn planted area for 2011-2012 is lowered 1.5 million acres from March intentions to 90.7 million acres. Planting delays through early June in the eastern Corn Belt and northern Plains are expected to reduce planted area, more than offsetting likely gains in the western Corn Belt and central Plains where planting was ahead of normal by mid-May.
Harvested area is lowered 1.9 million acres, to 83.2 million with the additional 400,000-acre reduction reflecting early information about May flooding in the lower Ohio and Mississippi River valleys and June flooding along the Missouri River valley. Production is projected at 13.2 billion bushels, down 305 million from last month, but still a record, and up 753 million from 2010-2011.
U.S. feed grain usage changes for 2011-2012 include a 100-million-bushel projected decline in corn feed and residual use and a 5-million-bushel increase in sorghum exports. Feed grain ending stocks are sharply lower with expected corn ending stocks down 205 million bushels to 695 million. Corn ending stocks are projected 35 million bushels lower than beginning stocks indicating a stocks-to-use ratio of 5.2% compared with the 2010-2011 forecast ratio of 5.4%. The 2011-2012 season-average farm price for corn is projected at a record $6-7/bu., up 50¢ on both ends of the range. Projected farm prices are also raised for the other feed grains.
Global coarse grain supplies for 2011-2012 are projected down 7.8 million tons this month with lower beginning stocks and production. Reduced U.S. corn production, lower EU-27 barley production and reduced corn beginning stocks in China more than offset increases in China corn production. China corn area is raised for 2010-2011 in line with the most recent official government area estimates with the year-to-year percentage increase for 2011-2012 largely maintained.
China corn production increases 5.0 million and 6.0 million tons for 2010-2011 and 2011-2012, respectively, with yields unchanged month-to-month. More than offsetting the higher production levels is higher estimated corn consumption for both feeding and industrial use. China corn consumption is raised 8.0 million tons and 13.0 million tons for 2010-2011 and 2011-2012, respectively. Together these changes leave projected 2011-2012 corn ending stocks down 12.0 million tons for China. At the projected 51.0 million tons, China's stocks would be down 2.7 million tons from 2010-2011 and just below the levels of the preceding two years, better reflecting the continuing rise in domestic corn prices as production struggles to keep pace with rising usage. Although China's stocks represent 46% of the world total for 2011-2012, China is not expected to be a significant exporter.
Global 2011/12 corn trade is raised slightly this month with higher imports for EU-27 and higher exports for Ukraine. Ukraine exports are raised 1.0 million tons with higher production and stronger expected demand from EU-27. Russia exports are lowered 0.5 million tons with lower production. Global corn ending stocks for 2011-2012 are projected down sharply this month, falling 17.3 million tons mostly reflecting the usage revisions in China. The projected 5.2-million-ton drop in U.S. ending stocks accounts for most of the rest of the decline. Global corn stocks are projected at 111.9 million tons, the lowest since 2006-2007.
This month's U.S. oilseed supply and use projections for 2011-2012 include higher beginning and ending stocks and reduced exports. Although adverse weather has slowed soybean planting progress this year, area and production estimates are unchanged with several weeks remaining in the planting season. Higher beginning stocks reflect a lower export projection for 2010-2011. Soybean exports for 2010-2011 are reduced 10 million bushels to 1.54 billion bushels reflecting the export pace to date for the marketing year and reduced global import demand, led mainly by lower projected imports for China.
Soybean ending stocks for 2010-2011 are projected at 180 million bushels, up 10 million. U.S. soybean exports for 2011-2012 are reduced 20 million bushels to 1.52 billion, reflecting increased competition from South America resulting from an increase in the recently harvested Brazilian soybean crop. With larger supplies and reduced exports, ending stocks for 2011-2012 are increased 30 million bushels to 190 million. Other changes for 2010-2011 include reduced soybean oil used for biodiesel production, reduced projected food use of soybean oil and lower soybean oil exports, all resulting in increased ending stocks for 2010/11 and 2011/12.
Soybean, meal and oil prices are all raised this month. Led by higher corn prices, the U.S. season-average soybean price for 2011-2012 is projected at $13-15/bu., up $1 on both ends of the range. Soybean meal prices for 2011-2012 are projected at $375-405/short ton, up $25 on both ends of the range. Soybean oil prices are projected at 58-62¢/lb., up 2¢ on both ends of the range.
Global oilseed production for 2011-2012 is projected at 456.9 million tons, down 2.3 million from last month, mainly due to lower rapeseed production. China soybean production is reduced 0.5 million tons to 14.3 million reflecting lower area as producers shifted to corn. Brazil's 2010-2011 soybean production is increased 1.5 million tons to a record 74.5 million, reflecting yield and production increases reported in the most recent government survey.

College of Arts & Humanities
Just recently, two groups of students in his environmental graphic design class made presentations to Rosemary Bell, director of Self Regional Healthcare's Wellness Works, who was soliciting recommendations for murals for the outside of the Wellness Works building.
As it turned out, she accepted the designs submitted by each group, one for the exterior of the building and a second one for the facility's yoga room.
Slagle said his students have done many projects for outside clients such as the United Way of Greenwood and Abbeville, the Abbeville Opera House, Greenwood Lander Performing Arts and others. Students are now working on design projects for four locations on campus.
He described the exercises as good learning experiences because the students must work together much the same as they would in an advertising agency, choosing design concepts, researching various aspects of production such as materials and printing, pricing and making professional presentations to clients.

U.S. farmers will plant more cotton, soybeans and rice and fewer acres of corn than last year, according to USDA's March 30, Prospective Plantings Report.
The acreage estimates were based on farmer surveys conducted the first two weeks of March. The operators were contacted by mail, telephone, or personal interviews to obtain information on crop acreage planned for the 2001 crop year.
Cotton plantings for 2001 are expected to total 15.6 million acres, up less than one percent from last year. If intentions are realized, this would be the largest acreage since 1995 and the second largest since 1962.
Low cotton prices and high energy costs have limited any significant increase in planting intentions, according to USDA. Upland cotton acreage is expected to total 15.4 million acres, 29,000 acres above 2000.
Growers intend to plant 220,000 acres of American-Pima cotton, up 28 percent from last year.
Cotton acreage increased by 15 percent in Mississippi, the largest increase of any state. Louisiana cotton acreage rose 13 percent, Arkansas, nine percent and Tennessee five percent, while Missouri Bootheel acreage remained the same.
Other large increases over last year include North Carolina, 13 percent, Kansas, 10 percent and Arizona, nine percent. The largest declines were in New Mexico, 13 percent and California and Florida, each at eight percent.
Soybean producers intend to plant 76.7 million acres in 2001, up three percent from last year.
If realized, this will be the largest planted area for soybeans on record. Of the 31 soybean producing states, producers in 22 states intend to plant more acres this year, while producers in eight states intend to plant fewer acres than in 2000
Meanwhile, soybean acreage dropped by 12 percent from last year in Louisiana and Mississippi and declined by 11 percent in Tennessee. Arkansas soybean acreage declined three percent.
Corn growers intend to plant 76.7 million acres of corn for all purposes in 2001, down four percent from 2000 and down one percent from 1999.
Expected acreage is down in almost all areas of the United States due mostly to the high cost of inputs and low price prospects.
Farmer's intentions shifted away from corn in Texas and Louisiana as planting was hampered by frequent rains during the spring. Corn acreage slipped 26 percent from last year in Louisiana, from 380,000 acres to 280,000 acres, the largest drop of any Mid-South state.
Dry soils and lack of water reserves in the Southeast reduced intended corn plantings there. The only region where farmers intend to plant more corn is in the Northeast where cool, wet weather last spring prevented many corn acres from being planted.
Sorghum plantings are expected to total 9.37 million acres, up two percent from last year. All wheat planted area is expected to total 60.3 million acres in 2001. This is down four percent from 2000 and the lowest level since 1973.
Twenty four percent of all crops planted in the United States in 2001 will be biotechnology varieties, according to USDA. That's a one percent drop from last year.
In cotton, biotechnology varieties will be planted on 63 percent of all cotton acreage, compared to 54 percent last year. In Mississippi and Louisiana, 86 percent of all cotton will be planted in biotechnology varieties.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) Desi Washington scored 18 and Yvon Raymond hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:09 remaining as Saint Peter's stunned Rutgers, 56-52, on Friday night.
Saint Peter's ended a 5-26 campaign last season by dropping 12 of its final 13 games, but Friday, Raymond sent the Peacocks to their first win over Rutgers since 2007 by scoring five of his eight points in the final two minutes.
Washington shook off a 2-for-10 first half by scoring 12 of his game-high 18 points over the final 17 minutes. Saint Peter's shot 56.5 percent in the second half and 45.8 percent (22 of 48) for the game.
Wally Judge, a transfer forward from Kansas State who sat out last season, posted 11 points and 12 rebounds in his debut for Rutgers, which shot 36.5 percent from the field, including 2 of 12 from beyond the arc, for the game.

You don't need o be in sleeping position, no. Sleep paralysis will keep you upright as you dream. As far as buzzing goes, just practice. It's not easy.

Toyota has introduced a new variable valve technology and unlike most new technologies that first appear on higher-priced vehicles, Toyota is introducing this on their Corolla Eco models. They call this new feature Valvematic.
In almost all vehicles, engine speed is controlled by the throttle. Open the throttle to let more air in and the computer automatically increases fuel delivery as engine rpm goes up.
Some vehicles use mechanical linkages or cable to connect the gas pedal to the throttle plates and on many newer vehicles, the throttle is electrically controlled by the engine computer as it receives information from the gas pedal.
On Toyota's Valvematic system, engine speed is controlled much differently. Airflow into the engine is controlled by varying the opening height of the intake valves.
The concept is not new. BMW has used it under the Valvetronic name and it works well, but typical of German ingenuity, there are many parts and it is a complex mechanical/electronic system. Toyota's Valvematic takes a much simpler approach to varying valve lift.
Before looking at Valvetronic operation, there are a few things to understand. First, this system is different from Variable Cam Timing, which is used on many newer vehicles as well as still in use on the Corolla. Also, throttle plates can be installed on the engine, but are there only to provide a 'safety' system.
Almost all the time, the throttle plates can remain wide open, which eliminates any air restrictions into the intake manifold. There is no vacuum in the intake manifold, so pumping losses in the engine as air enters the cylinders are reduced, providing better efficiency and fuel economy.
Finally, there some manufacturers who have used two-stage valve lift or opening (Honda for example), but the Toyota system is completely variable, all the way from one millimetre to 11 millimetres in lift height.
Mechanically, the Valvetronic system is a relatively easy addition to the existing engine design. The camshaft mounting plate that bolts to the top of the cylinder head is replaced with a Valvetronic plate that contains the camshafts and the Valvetronic hardware. There is no change in height of the engine.
Other items such as valves, valve springs, rocker arms and even the camshafts remain essentially the same, with some differences to camshaft profile on the intake cam.
What is added is a second shaft on the intake side of the cylinder head that holds oscillating arms and an electric motor on the end of the shaft to control the amount of valve lift.
In operation, the intake camshaft pushes on the oscillating arm, which in turn pushes on the rocker arm to open the valve. The key to the variable valve lift is the position of the oscillating arm.
Every oscillating arm has a ramp-type profile that pushes on the rocker arm. As the oscillating arm is moved closer or further away from the rocker arm contact point, the ramp profile changes and so does the amount of lift.
To move the oscillating arm, the additional shaft has helical gears on it for each valve mechanism. The oscillating arms have a bearing pivot with an internal helical gear on it as well.
The computer-controlled motor, which is mounted externally on the engine on the end of the additional shaft, moves a plunger internally in the shaft that causes the helical gears to rotate back and forth slightly.
As the helical gears rotate, they cause the oscillating arm to change its fulcrum point where it pivots and this causes different parts of the ramp to contact the rocker arms, changing the lift.
It may sound complex but, in reality, it is a relatively simple mechanical design that doesn't require oil pressure to operate. The benefits are big however.
There is quicker engine response to driver demand and an increase in top-end power by at least 10 per cent due to the increased air flow into the engine. It is also efficient, improving fuel economy by five to 10 per cent depending on driving conditions.
For now, the system is only on the Corolla, but it wouldn't surprise me to see it expand quickly to other models and perhaps even other manufacturers.

MACBETH Day Six: Reader Response - Act III, Sc iv through Act IV, sc i
Lesson 6 of 14
Objective: SWBAT interpret MACBETH through writing and collaborative discussion.
My classes meet in 100-minute sessions every other day. Activities in this lesson take one class period to complete.
The lesson below outlines activities on Macbeth, Act III, Scene iv through Act IV, Scene i. Students engage in collaborative discussion, text-dependent discourse, and writing to learn.
Students complete a warm-up (Warm-Up), where they have to write at least a 10-bullet chronological summary of what they know about Macbeth from Act I, Scene i through Act III, Scene iv. I find that most students have their books open and are revisiting the text, No Fear Shakespeare: Macbeth (SparkNotes, 2003) for clarification! This activity takes longer than I want it to, but I realize I need to give students time to think and write. During the activity, two students remind me that we have not read Act III, Scene iv.
Students confer with a partner to share their summaries (Student Work: Warm-Up). They revisit the text for clarification as needed.
We debrief as a class, and I explain to students that since they did some pre-reading on Act III, Scene iv, we will read it together today accompanied by the audio (Arkangel, 2005) of the play.
We take time to review characters and action up to this point in the play, focusing on Macbeth's transformation from a valiant warrior to a corrupt king. Before moving on, I ask students how proficient they feel about their knowledge of Macbeth so far, referring to my Learning Scale (Learning Scale: Use for Lesson Check). Students indicate that they are at a 4-proficient or 5-highly proficient.

All-Class Reading
We read Act III, Scene iv through Act IV, Scene i along with the audio. I stop at salient points to discuss the following with students:
- Why Macbeth refers to Banquo as a "grown serpent" when talking to the First Murderer (Act III, Scene iv, Line 29)
- How Macbeth's role as king and his reference to Banquo as a snake reflect the manifestation of "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" (Act I, Scene i) in the play
- Macbeth's reaction to Banquo's ghost
- Lady Macbeth's explanation for Macbeth's behavior when Banquo's ghost appears
- Macduff's significance in the play as Macbeth's foil
- How Macbeth's soliloquy at the beginning of Act I, Scene vii comes to fruition in the plot
- Hecate's plan for Macbeth
- The state of affairs in Scotland under Macbeth.
Since we are short on time, I ask students to write down their opinions about Act III, Scene iv through Act IV, Scene i on a paper towel in three minutes so that I get their purest response to the text; I call it a Paper Towel Reader Response.
We post the responses on the bulletin board at the back of the classroom, do a Gallery Walk, and then discuss trends among the responses. Students point out that Macbeth has transformed from a valiant warrior to an evil tyrant; how Macbeth is willing to give up everything for power; and how disaster awaits Macbeth
Resources (5)
Text v. Clip
We view Act IV, Sc i of Macbeth (Royal Shakespeare Company, 2010); I ask students to list differences between the text and the clip (Student Work: Text v. Clip). Students debrief with a partner; then we discuss differences as a class. Student cite that in the clip, the witches do not use a cauldron, involve Macbeth in seeing the last apparition, and embrace him before he asks if Banquo's descendants will be kings.

Ticket Out
Since we are running out time time and I will not see students until after the weekend, I ask students to reply to my tweet, "Summarize what you have learned about Macbeth so far." (Student Work: Tweets - Sample One). Tweets will continue to come in for a few days; then we will review them (Student Work: Tweets - Sample Two)(Student Work: Tweets - Sample Three) as a class to continue our discussion of the play.

CINCINNATI (AP) Cashmere Wright scored a career-high 28 points and No. 22 Cincinnati remained undefeated with a 91-72 win over Campbell on Tuesday night in the Global Sports Invitational.
Jaquon Parker set a season high with 21 points, and Sean Kilpatrick added 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Bearcats (4-0), who never trailed and led by as many as 25.
Cincinnati is scheduled to play its first road game Friday against Iowa State as the GSI continues in Las Vegas.
Darren White, who came in leading the Big South Conference with 25.5 points per game, bounced back from scoring just three in the first half to finish with 22 for Campbell (2-3).
Trey Freeman scored a season-high 17 for the Fighting Camels, the preseason favorite in the Big South's North Division, while Darian Hooker added 13 and Reco McCarter finished with 10.
The Bearcats dominated inside, outrebounding Campbell 50-28 and finishing with nine blocked shots to Campbell's two.
But Cincinnati continued to struggle with free throws. The Bearcats, who were shooting 53.3 percent (40 of 75) from the line coming in, went 18 of 34 (52.9 percent) in the first game between the two teams.
Wright, whose previous career high was 25 in a 101-70 win over Radford last Dec. 17, scored 13 and Parker added 11 to lead Cincinnati to a 46-28 halftime lead.
Cincinnati never trailed after Wright made the first of two consecutive 3-pointers to snap a 2-2 tie with 17:30 left in the first half.
Parker gave Cincinnati a 21-point lead twice, the first on a 3-pointer from the left corner with 6:35 left before halftime and the second with a driving layup along the right baseline with 4:36 remaining.

NEW YORK (AP) — It's another honor for Taylor Swift. The country music superstar has been crowned "Woman of the Year" by Billboard magazine.
The 21-year-old multiplatinum singer-songwriter is the youngest to receive the award, which has gone to Beyonce, Reba McEntire and Fergie.
She will be honored at the 2011 Billboard Women in Music event in New York on Dec. 2.
Her latest album, "Speak Now," has sold over 3.6 million copies since its release last fall, and she's sold the most albums of any artist over the past year.
It's the latest honor for Swift, who became the youngest person to win the Grammy for best album for "Fearless" in 2010. She has also won several ACM, CMA and AMA awards.
Swift is currently on a national tour.

John Brynjolfsson successfully has traded alternative real assets for more than 25 years. And, in 2009 he traded his career at PIMCO for his own firm, Armored Wolf, which trades a global macro strategy emphasizing real assets. Brynjolfsson's experience includes trading commodities, global inflation-linked bonds, event-linked catastrophe bonds, as well as asset allocation and risk management. We talked to him about trading, including the career move from a big traditional asset management firm to his own firm, along with his pursuit of alpha. Here's an excerpt from his interview with Futures (Brynjolfsson: The Armored Wolf in pursuit of alpha) in which he provides some in depth analysis on interest rates and outlines where they are headed.
FM: You are the co-author of "Inflation-Protection Bonds" and co-editor of "The Handbook of Inflation-Indexed Bonds" and once were responsible for trading $160 billion in TIPS [Treasury Inflation Protected Securities] for PIMCO. As an inflation expert, what's your outlook for the near- and long-term?
JB: Obviously the global economy is, and has been for five years, in the midst of one of the toughest deleveraging cycles of the past 100 years. This, combined with unprecedented monetary policy, not just at the U.S. Fed, but at all major central banks globally, puts inflation at a knife's edge. I suspect that inflation in the near term will remain contained, and there is even a risk of disinflation. However, my concern is the huge amounts of "dry gunpowder" in terms of excess reserves in, and lagged effects of, negative real interest rates globally, that speak to inflation risk on the upside and that would be difficult to control.
FM: You've written extensively on the U.S. Federal Reserve's actions over the past few years. Would you share your current economic overview and outlook?
JB: The two-trillion-dollar question is "exit strategy."
The Fed is capitalized with $55 billion of "paid-in capital." The actual number may be much larger or much smaller than this, [because] implicitly the Fed has the backing of the Treasury and taxpayer (Yup, it's too big to fail!), and also has implicit obligations [that] are unstated. But, I like to begin at least with the "facts" as they are stated, in this case on the audited financials of the Federal Reserve System. So by any measure, $3 trillion of assets on the Fed balance sheet is a lot of leverage. What leverage does is amplifies swings, or puts entities on the knife's edge. That doesn't per se speak directionally to inflation or deflation. What it speaks to is the following:
Low volatility "great moderation" is obviously behind us, as 2008 proved. However, it also is likely that the low volatility, inflation pegged at 2%, current environment will not endure. Markets are too complacent if they think interest rate moves are measured in basis points and inflation ticks up or down 0.1% a month to peg inflation at 2%.
Disinflation is certainly a possibility, as monetary policy is largely pushing on a string, and fiscal policy (with debt-to-GDP in the United States and most developing countries at over, or near, 100%) is hamstrung. Therefore there is little ability of the economy to respond to a negative macroeconomic shock.
Right now the United States seems to be motoring along, with pent-up demand and low interest rates, being roughly offset by headwinds created by fiscal tightening, the combination of tax hikes and spending cuts.
China, Japan and Asia more generally face headwinds to growth and are slowing. In China, secularly, we are seeing slowing from [an] historic rate of 10% to 12% being recalibrated toward a more sustainable 6% to 8%. But within that secular range, we are seeing inflation flare up, from 1.8% last fall to 3.2% now. That has triggered policy tightening in various forms, and in this sense is running somewhat counter to cyclic and policy dynamics elsewhere. Japan is facing slowdown, though it has a new, almost experimental, radical policy easing being promised and implemented at this time.
Europe is a basket case, and has already experienced a recession characterized by negative real GDP growth, falling inflation and rising unemployment among young and old, periphery and core. The macroeconomic challenges, an uncompetitive exchange rate, combining with dysfunction of the labor and capital markets brought about by befuddled policy, are being strained by political challenges. The uncertainty created by political forces, both those centrifugal forces pulling the Eurozone apart, and the domestic forces within nations created by the wealth disparities, unemployment, and austerity imposed on large populations, make capital formation almost impossible.

Young Voters: Don't Write Them Off
Don't believe everything you see on TV. Last fall, pundits and mainline Democrats and Republicans turned up their noses at the Millennial Generation. Pointing to our entirely average 2010 midterm election turnout, news outlets nationwide returned to the well-worn narrative that "young voters are experiencing an enthusiasm gap." It's true that President Obama's absence from the ticket and a serious shortage of cultural icons and celebrities promoting participation had an impact on our ability to raise the noise level in our target communities.
But as the leader of a national team of extremely talented and passionate young activists, I have to tell you, anyone who believes that under-30 Americans aren't tuned in to the future is fooling themselves.
Across the country, leaders of youth engagement organizations like ours, the League of Young Voters, are plotting field plans with one date in mind: November 6, 2012—the next presidential election. At the League, we are seriously worried that our country is becoming less tolerant of those of us who represent the future, as it seems that elected officials are looking to cut programs that empower young people or people of color to become the future leaders of their communities.
For years, my peers in the youth engagement world and I have argued that our generation will embrace politics if we are talked to on our level—not down, not up. The straight scoop from our peers is the backbone of social networking, the online "Like/thumbs-up" endorsement system that filters out truth from talking points. In short, one cannot fake the credibility that comes from an organization having thousands of Facebook fans and retweets on Twitter. And because online and offline organizing is the bread and butter of our work, the League was brash enough to believe that our State of the Union watch party and online discussion (which we lovingly called #BarackTalk) could be a first step in starting a national discussion among the youth political sector's strongest leaders and the music world's most influential critics.
So, as a first step in a new partnership with AllHipHop.com, the League set up cameras and broadcast live from the D.C. offices of the New Organizing Institute immediately after the State of the Union address. We were blown away by the impact our event had on the web. We received over 8,000 live views, putting us on the front page of Ustream, and 1,800 people joined the conversation on Twitter.
An American Uprising:
Wisconsin and beyond: While wealth and power concentrate in the hands of a few, the rights, jobs, and services that everyday Americans depend on are on the line. Across the country, people are rising up to defend them.
That doesn't mean Millennials are going to be able to retweet their way to change. We face a tremendous set of social problems, many of them—like immigration reform, healthcare reform, and reproductive justice—stretching back through decades of violent social upheaval. Youth unemployment is at record highs, and the federal government is proposing sweeping cuts to the arts and education programs that would fill out the resumes of young professionals. Then there is the plan to eliminate the health care reform package that is one of the greatest accomplishments since the New Deal.
Now is the time for us to start getting loud. Our generation has to use our growing numbers to influence the conversation. We can't let decision makers ignore us, otherwise the momentum that we've built over these last several years will stagnate. We cannot allow those who are stuck on 20th century paradigms to control our futures.
Instead we need to step up and build the strong local economies that give young people a chance to compete. The very same technology that is bringing us together on the Internet, can be used to transform our communities into self-sustained economic powerhouses. We just need the opportunity to bring our ideas to scale.

I have a huge fear of dentists after several bad experiences. They made me feel at ease and everyone was so nice. Dr. King answered my 100000000 questions and I never felt rushed.
1 stars Scott S Customer since 2016
Got a pretty good scam going. All I wanted was a permanent filling on a recent root canal. Instead I'm out $260 as the result of a pointless Endontist referral, who informed me the root canal was fine and the filling should have been done as requested. Hope it's worth not fulfilling the patient's requests, as well as overcharging known insurance rates so there's always a hefty out-of-pocket. Guess spreading the wealth amongst your healthcare cronies gets everybody a piece of the action. No surprise I'm taking my business elsewhere, hopefully somewhere I won't be preached at during my cleaning.

As always a very courteous, professional and helpful staff. All my questions were answered and my concerns validated.

|TidBITS#149 19921026
Apple definitely thinks of user safety more than most computer companies, and even includes basic ergonomic instructions in its manuals. The new 14" color monitor meets the strict Swedish guidelines for emissions, and if this rumor comes true, among large computer companies, Apple will stand alone at the forefront of ergonomic design.
I've heard that Apple is working on a new mouse with more rounded curves that users might find more comfortable than the current mouse. That's not terribly exciting, but what is exciting is the new keyboard Apple also has in the works, reportedly slated for a January release. The keyboard should list for about $250, which compares relatively well with the $185 Extended Keyboard II, considering the extra hardware that goes into the ergonomics.
Like some of the more esoteric keyboards from small companies, Apple's new keyboard "breaks" in the center, so that the left and right halves rotate around pivot points. You can also angle the sides when it is broken for maximum comfort, and the keyboard even comes with palm rests. Although this is terribly hard to visualize, and I don't have a QuickTime movie for you, I've heard that the design makes typing extremely comfortable.
I can't vouch for this keyboard until I can literally get my hands on one, but writing as one who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome (getting better, but not perfect yet), I think it's an amazing move for Apple. Apple is now the single largest manufacturer of personal computers (surpassing IBM just recently) and it looks good to be the first major company to offer a radical keyboard design that might help prevent repetitive stress injuries (although Apple's rumors make no claims to that effect, and rightly so).
There are a few potential problems with the keyboard. First, no one has ever conclusively proved that split or bifurcated keyboards will help prevent repetitive stress injuries. My feeling is that they can't be any worse than standard keyboards, so that's a moot point. Second, you run into some oddities with split keyboards with the keys in the middle of the keyboard, since many people often actually use both hand for the "g" and "h" keys. I heard that one manufacturer of split keyboards duplicated some keys to avoid that problem.
However, as I said, from a public relations point of view, just having this alternative available will make Apple look good, and the fact that they will reportedly release a PC version shortly after the Mac version will help too. Computer users of all types will know that the only mainstream alternative (hmm...) keyboard comes from Apple, and that can only reflect well on the rest of the company's products.
I also predict that other major computer companies will announce other alternative input devices. Although I'd be surprised if any of them went as far as Infogrip's chording keyboard, there are a number of small companies out there working on split and otherwise ergonomic keyboards. I imagine they would be happy to license their designs to Compaq or IBM. And then everyone wins.
