On Thursday, the Congregation for the Clergy issued a new edition of its Directory for the Ministry and the Life of Priests. The document makes a clear call for rediscovery of the sacredness of the priesthood within our secularist world.
First and foremost is the priest's relationship with the Triune God. The revelation of God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit is linked to the manifestation of God as Love which creates and saves. Now, if redemption is a sort of creation and an extension thereof (in fact it is called "new"), then the priest, the minister of redemption and in light of his being a source of new life, thereby becomes an instrument of the new creation. This already suffices to project the greatness of the ordained minister, independently from his capacities and his talents, his limits and his miseries. This is what led St. Francis of Assisi to write in his Testament: "I am determined to reverence, love and honour these and all the others as my superiors. I refuse to consider their sins, because I can see the Son of God in them and they are my superiors. I do this because in this world I cannot see the most high Son of God with my own eyes except for his most holy Body and Blood which they receive and they alone administer to others". That is the Body and Blood which regenerate humanity.

Gino's Pizza, Monroe St. Sylvania, OH
This was a special treat as Gino's offers buffet on Monday night's only. Ahhh! Let's talk about the pizza itself first.
Crust - This is some of the best crust. Soft and pillowy, not too thick but not thin either. I do believe it's the perfect balance. Cheese goes ALL THE WAY TO THE EDGE. I love that.
Sauce - This sauce is not for everyone, but it is for sure for ME! It is rich and thick with some sweetness to it...plus they load it on. It oozes out of the cheese for maximum eating pleasure (that sounds gross, but you get what I am saying).
Overall Pizza Score - I give it an A+. So far, Gino's is tied with J&G's for me.
What did ya eat? Everything. I ate absolutely everything. My fellow PTT founder and I had two joiners last night so we just smashed the buffet, which was plentiful and was constantly replenished with new and different items. The pizzas are small, so one slice is really only 1/4 of a slice to ensure that you can try many kinds. Here is a list of some of their pizzas. I am a sucker for an original cheese and I loved the jalapeno & olive variety. The garlic cheese bread really blew my hair back! Dessert pizza was a hot apple pie type deal and was insanely good. This buffet also features pasta and chili (decent, nothing special), french fries and salad. My advice? Skip the salad. Just eat a healthy lunch so you have more room for this delicious pizza!
Other items of note - Great price, fountain soda, nice staff. You really cannot beat this pizza buffet on Monday nights!
Atmosphere - It's what you would expect. Tables and booths and you order at the front. Small space. PS No once cares about this atmosphere - you are too busy shoveling pizza and treats in your face. Kid friendly. I believe they serve beer on the opposite end of that.
Service - Since it's buffet you just get what you get!! The servers cleared promptly so leaving a few bucks on the table is perfectly appropriate.
My advice? Go to Gino's! I liked this location in Sylvania. I would go to the other locations for the comparison. I am sure they are quite up to snuff.
Next stop on the PTT - Either Village Idiot, Aimee's, Mama Mary's on Airport or Charlie's (they have ice cream there, so I vote Charlie's).

Welcome to Beanpot Hoops, which is launching for the 2013-14 basketball season.
Beanpot Hoops will provide insightful stories and commentary about college basketball around Boston. Its primary focus is on region's four Division I teams — Boston College, Boston University, Harvard, and Northeastern — as well as the leagues in which they play. The content on this site will merge numbers and narratives, featuring statistical analysis based on advanced metrics and new research while also including stories of players, coaches, fans, and games.
The inspiration for Beanpot Hoops comes from similar outlets in other areas, including New York City's Big Apple Buckets and Philadelphia's City of Basketball Love. The success of those sites has shown how passionate college basketball fans can be, and I want to bring the same type of coverage to Boston.
If you have any thoughts — suggestions on the site, story ideas, or just thoughts on your team — share them in the comments below, on Twitter at @BeanpotHoops, or at email@example.com. And if you like what you see, spread the word to help Beanpot Hoops get off the ground.

The Feelies Tolerate Their Disciples at Furious Show
Who knows what vitriol might've lurked behind front man Glenn Mercer's black shades, but he seemed to enjoy blazing through his band's back catalogue.
When the Feelies tore into their opening song at the Music Hall of Williamsburg Saturday, it was without even a "hello," despite the seventeen-year hiatus that they only recently ended. The silver foxes in black Converse who made up the audience greeted their heroes with silence, too — a reverential one. Dressed like Friday-casual office drones, the band was surprisingly agile for a group that's been broken up for longer than they were active, and never fond of playing live in the first place. Who knows what vitriol might've lurked behind front man Glenn Mercer's black shades, but he seemed to enjoy blazing through his band's economic, almost ascetic back catalogue — more than once he jumped, with both feet coming off the ground! He didn't even seem to mind that there were people watching and bopping their heads. (There were even reports of some scattered jostling during a couple of numbers.) Though the only time any band member dropped to his knees was to fastidiously tune his instrument between songs, the old material sounded more raw and rough than on the recordings. Mercer even allowed himself to stretch out on guitar, blessing his followers with some distorted, bluesy riffage. The Feelies' caffeine buzz hasn't waned with age and time off; if anything, they're more pumped than they ever were.

The Ethics of Placebos in AIDS Drug Trials
Porter, John D.H.
Forrest, Bruce D.
Kennedy, Ann R.
Bibliographic Citation
HEC (HealthCare Ethics Committee) Forum. 1992; 4(3): 155-162.
Conclusion: Rather than lamenting over the impending demise of the placebo-control trial, scientists should be concentrating on developing methodology for making better use of postlicensing surveillance. Through ethical reflection and the way forward, a society changes its vision. Mankind is ingenious and thrives on change and challenge. The epidemiology of AIDS clinical trials needs to move forward to encompass the ethical and moral changes facing our society today. Mental energy and imagination should be directed at new methods for investigating drugs and other medications which will benefit the entire population.

Currently, these boats are located on the North Shore in both the Port Jefferson and Mount Sinai Harbors, and on the South Shore. In order to contact the pump-out boats, you may use channel 73 or simply wave them down as they patrol the local marina. These boats primarily function Friday through Sunday, as well as on holidays. Additionally, Port Jefferson on the north shore and Sandspit Marina on the south shore have pump-out barges. For all other pump-out needs, please visit one of our 24-hour self-serve stations. These self-serve stations can be found on the North Shore in Mount Sinai Harbor, located just East of Old Man's Boat Yard, and in Port Jefferson Harbor, conveniently located at Danford's Marina. The self-serve stations on the South Shore are located at Corey Creek, Forge River, and Sands Pit Marina.

Unicode and permalinks
Working on integrating of automation scripts with Testuff, I've encountered an interesting Unicode-related issue I'd like to share.
The integration allows for an automated testing script to report the results of its run to the Testuff server. In order for the results to be grouped, displayed and summarized correctly, the automation script needs to tell the server which test it ran, and whether the test has passed or failed. A long discussion emerged on what the best way to uniquely identify tests.
After quite a bit of back and forth, we've settled on permalinks, those more-or-less-readable URLs that are in common use in blogs. The idea of a permalink is to take the title (of a blog post or a test) and replace any characters that aren't numbers or letters with an underscore or a hyphen. Using this simple scheme, "Unicode and permalinks" becomes "unicode-and-permalinks", which is quite suitable for use in a URL.
The implementation is a simple regular expression:
return re.sub("[^a-zA-Z0-9]+", "_", string).lower()
While this code works perfectly for the English language, it doesn't work at all if string is a Unicode string containing something in Hebrew, Russian or Polish – language that some of our customers use. And so, I set out to write code that will essentially behave like the regular expression above, but will work for letters and numbers in all the languages of the world.
Fortunately the Unicode standard includes a rarely used classification of characters into various categories. For each given character we can find out whether it is an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, and number, a punctuation mark and so on. Surprisingly, Python includes a module called unicodedata that contains all that information. The function category accepts a character and returns a string that tells us what the character is: "Lu" denotes an uppercase letter, "Nd" denotes a decimal digit, etc.
All that remains to be done is go over the characters in the title, keep the letters and numbers, and replace all the other characters with a dash or an underscore. The regular expression at the end replaces any sequence of underscores into a single underscore to make the resulting URLs even nicer to look at.
Converts sequences of characters that aren't letters or numbers
to a single underscore to achieve wikpedia like unicode URLs.
import re
import unicodedata
def conv(c):
if unicodedata.category(c)[0] in ["L", "N"]:
return c
return "_"
s2 = "".join([conv(c) for c in s])
return re.sub("_+", "_", s2)
[Update] Or, as Almad correctly pointed out, you could just use the re module support for Unicode and be done with it in two lines, which kind of takes the air out of this post.
import re
return re.compile("\W+", re.UNICODE).sub("_", s)
There's one other thing to consider when dealing with Unicode permalinks. If you're a native speaker of a language other than English, you've probably seen URLs that in your own language in Wikipedia.
From the looks of it, URLs can include characters in any language. Right?
RFC3986 defines the syntax for URLs (actually URIs, but that's a moot point) explicitly and states which characters are allowed in a URL. This includes little more than English letters and numbers from the lower half of the ASCII chart.
If you look at the headers your browser passes when you access such a URL, you'll see that it encodes all the characters with percent encoding, so neither the browser nor the web server is violating the standard. This is what the server saw when I navigated to the main Hebrew page of Wikipedia:
GET /wiki/%D7%A2%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%93_%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%A9%D7%99 HTTP/1.1 Host: he.wikipedia.org
In order to understand what this percent encoding means, you need to know a bit about Unicode. Basically, the Unicode URL is encoded in UTF8 and each byte of the UTF8-encoded string is encoded using percent encoding. The browser apparently recognized this specific encoding scheme (which isn't documented anywhere I could fine) and displays nice internationalized URLs for the user.
If you want to support such URLs in your server, you'll probably need to write some code to translate the percent-encoded URLs into their actual Unicode representation.

Newton's 3rd Law: Skateboard Activity - Newton's Laws Expo (8 of 9)
Lesson 8 of 12
Objective: Students will be able to use a skateboard and a large mass to experiment with Newton's 3rd Law.
Big Idea: When you toss a medicine ball it causes an equal and opposite force that is normally never observed. However, do it while on a skateboard and Newton's 3rd Law can be seen.
This lesson is based on California's Middle School Integrated Model of NGSS.
MS-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
PE: MS-PS2-1 - Apply Newton's Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.
DCI: PS2.A - For any pair of interacting objects, the force exerted by the first object on the second object is equal in strength to the force that the second object exerts on the first, but in opposite directions (Newton's 2nd Law).
Science and Engineering Practices7: Engaging in Arguments from Evidence
Crosscutting Concept: Cause and Effect
This activity can be used as a stand alone lesson or can be placed with eight other lessons, designed as an exposition to be experienced over three days.
Newton's Laws Expo contains:

I have also developed three demonstrations of Newton's Laws
In this lesson, students engage in a short (eight minute) activity designed to demonstrate one of Newton's Laws. A student on a skateboard throws a medicine ball, causing the skateboard and the student to move backwards in the opposite direction (MS-PS2-1). The harder the student is able to throw the medicine ball, the farther and faster the skateboard and the student will travel in the opposite direction (PS2.A). It is the student's responsibility to use evidence recorded during the activity to determine that Newton's 3rd Law is being expressed, showing the equal and opposite relationship between action and reaction forces (SP7). Each activity has been carefully chosen to replicate a specific effect (CCC).
Needed Material
- Skateboard
- Helmet
- Elbow pads
- Knee Pads
- Medicine Ball or old soccer ball filled with sand and duct taped together
TIP: Thrift stores are good resources for old skating equipment.
Print out a copy of Station Markers. Tape 'Station 8' marker card down to the desk where you intend students will conduct this activity. Each station marker identifies where the activity will take place and provides directions for completing the activity.
Print out a copy of Newton's Laws Exposition packet for each student. The packet includes directions and questions to answer. If you are performing this lesson as a single activity you will only need to print out Activity 8.
This activity is designed to accompany other Newton's Laws Activities. I run this unit as a three day exposition. Day 1 is reserved for showing the students all of the nine activities. Days 2 and 3 allow for an eight minute rotation. I typically have my students experience five activities (40 minutes) on Day 2 and four activities (32 minutes) on Day 3 followed by a recap of the events.

Student Activity
Newton's Third law will be in effect for this lesson. Newton's Third Law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Students will not know what specific law of motion they will be experimenting with. They have to record what they see, gather evidence, and argue about what law is being manipulated.
- Choose one person with skateboard experience.
- Put on the helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards.
- Sit on the skateboard holding the medicine ball.
- All members stand around to catch any falls.
- Throw the medicine ball forward.
Student Work Sample
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Newton's Law are expressed in a multitude of ways in the English language because Newton's original text ' Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica', often referred to as the 'Principia', was written in Latin (as were all scientific articles in that time) and translated into English. As such, there are many different translations, causing confusion with students.
I teach Newton's Three Laws using this translation:
- An object in motion will reamin in motion and an object at rest will remain at rest - unless acted upon by another force.
- Acceleration is based on force and mass (F=ma).
- For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
To assist in teaching Newton's Law before this lesson is taught, I have included three Powerpoint lessons:

Torquay player of the year Aaron Downes has agreed a new two-year deal to stay at Plainmoor.
The Australian defender played a crucial role in keeping the Gulls in League Two last season and he has ended speculation over his future.
"Aaron Downes has not signed his contract yet but he has agreed to stay, and it's a big plus for us because he was outstanding last season," manager Alan Knill told the club's official website.
"I've known Downesy for a long time. I was at Chesterfield with him and he's a good player. Throughout his career, just when it looked like he was going to take off, he's picked up an injury.
"The good thing for him was a clean season last year and I'm quite sure his injuries are over now, and he will go on to be one of the better centre-halves in the league."

The Sports Xchange
By Guy Curtright, The Sports Xchange
Choo keeps hitting as Reds roll
ATLANTA -- The All-Star break is coming at a good time for the banged-up Atlanta Braves.
Cincinnati Reds center fielder Shin-Soo Choo, though, would probably rather keep on playing.
Choo extended his hitting streak to 12 games and hit his 13th homer as the Reds defeated the Braves 8-4 on Sunday to split the four-game series at Turner Field.
Choo, who turned 31 on Saturday, went 2-for-3 with two walks in his fifth consecutive multi-hit game and is 21-for-49 during the hitting streak. He was 8-for-16 and scored seven runs in the series.
The native of South Korea started hot with the Reds, then went into a slump. Now he is hot again.
"I had too much in my head, thinking about too much," Choo said. "Now I'm relaxed. I just see the ball and hit it. I'm feeling good."
"You can't stay hot all the time," Reds manager Dusty Baker said of Choo's cold June. "When you're slumping, it's a terrible feeling. Seeing your average go down every day is even a worse feeling."
Now Choo's average is back up to .287 and he has a .425 on-base percentage.
"He had a great series," Baker said.
Jay Bruce also came through, going 3-for-5 with his 19th homer, and the Reds got five innings from their bullpen against a depleted Braves lineup. Logan Ondrusek (3-0) pitched two scoreless innings for the victory.
The Braves lost outfielders Jason Heyward (hamstring), B.J. Upton (abductor) and Justin Upton (calf) in the first two games of the series and were without first baseman Freddie Freeman on Sunday after he jammed his left thumb on a tag Saturday.
"Just one of those freak injuries I seem to run into every single year," Freeman said.
B.J. Upton was put on the disabled list Sunday and Evan Gattis was activated from the disabled list to fill in at first for Freeman, who will not play in the All-Star Game.
Braves catcher Brian McCann will take Freeman's place in New York on the National League team.
"It's unfortunate that Freddie can't play," said McCann. "He's carried us all year."
Reds starter Tony Cingrani was pulled after throwing 96 pitches and allowing two tainted runs in four innings. He gave up four hits, walked three and struck out five.
Third baseman Todd Frazier lost a two-out popup in the sun, leading to a second-inning run for the Braves. But Cingrani caught Jose Constanza's liner to get out of a bases-loaded jam and then had a bunt single to start the Reds' four-run third.
Joey Votto drove in a run with a double, another scored on a ground out, and Bruce smashed a two-run homer into the right field seats as Braves starter Julio Teheran hung a 1-0 slider. It was the Reds' first homer in five games.
Shortstop Zack Cozart's throwing error gave the Braves an unearned run in the bottom of the third, but Choo picked on a 1-0 pitch and went deep to the opposite field against Teheran leading off the fifth.
Teheran (7-5) had posted a 1.79 ERA in his past seven home starts, but he allowed five runs and seven hits over 5 1/3 innings against the Reds.
Dan Uggla hit his 18th homer of the season in the eighth inning on Sam LeCure's first pitch, but the Reds scored three runs in the ninth, highlighted by Brandon Phillips two-run double.
Andrelton Simmons hit his eighth homer of the season off Reds closer Aroldis Chapman in a non-save situation in the ninth.
"We had a chance to take three out of four and maybe even sweep them," Baker said. "But we'll take what we got."
NOTES: McCann will be making his seventh appearance All-Star appearance. ... Freeman, who will still travel to New York, won the final vote for a spot on the NL team. ... Gattis played in two minor league rehab games, going 1-for-8 with a double and three strikeouts for Class AAA Gwinnett at Durham. ... The Braves play an interleague series against the White Sox in Chicago after the All-Star break, with RHP Tim Hudson (6-7) slated to start the Friday opener. ... The Reds will begin a three-game home series with the NL Central rival Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. ... The Reds, 30-16 at home, haven't won a road series since taking three of four from the Chicago Cubs on June 10-13.

All About Pancakes
• 27 April 2010
Last Sunday I spent the morning outside, under the picnic table, enjoying a delicious pancake picnic with my 3 kiddos. So delicious in fact that the 4 of us (1 adult, 3 kids mind you) went through all 24 pancakes! We enjoyed two of my all-time favorite pancake recipes and I also discovered a new time-saving tip. To read more about them both, head to the Zupas blog.

Quick Reference
(b San Sebastian, 4 Jun. 1912 (some sources say 1906); d Madrid, 25 Mar. 2008)
Spanish dancer, choreographer, and sister of legendary dancer La Argentinita. She studied with J. Castelão in Madrid and danced with her sister's company until La Argentinita's death in 1945. In 1946 she formed her own company, Ballet Español, which trained many of Spain's leading male dancers, including J. Greco, M. Vargas, and A. Gades who all subsequently formed their own companies. She herself was a dancer of great elegance, energy, and style, and also choreographed many works including Le Tricorne and El amor brujo (both to music by de Falla) and a setting of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez.

After a very long day of chaos, passion, and frustration in the New York State Senate, a couldn't-be-higher stakes meeting that included the governor, senior Democratic lawmakers, and top LGBT advocates was capped by a dramatic announcement offering the best sign yet that marriage equality may become a reality by New Year's Day.
With the Legislature unprepared to cooperate with Governor David A. Paterson in his push to adopt a budget reduction plan during the extraordinary session he called on November 10, the Senate Democratic leadership spent much of the day in on-and-off caucusing and huddling to answer the question that seemed uppermost on the minds of Albany-watchers Tuesday — whether to bring the marriage equality bill, passed for the second time by the Assembly in May, to the floor for debate and a vote.
Paterson had placed the measure on his calendar for the session, and many dozens of same-sex couples kept vigil all day long in the Capitol hallways outside the Majority Conference offices, chanting, "We deserve a vote, we deserve a vote."
A vote was not to be — that day, at least. But shortly after 8 p.m., Paterson, four senior Senate Democrats — Jeffrey Klein of the Bronx and Westchester, the deputy majority leader; Eric Adams of Brooklyn; and Manhattanites Eric Schneiderman and Thomas K. Duane, the measure's lead sponsor — and Alan Van Capelle, the executive director of the Empire State Pride Agenda (ESPA), the state's LGBT lobby, appeared before the press to announce that the Senate leadership has made a specific commitment to hold a debate and vote on marriage equality before the end of 2009.
The implications cannot be underestimated. Since April, Paterson has consistently called for a vote, which ESPA on several occasions demanded and Duane said repeatedly he has the bipartisan support to pass.

No. 75 Arizona falls to No. 63 San Diego State
Feb. 20, 2009
Losing the doubles point in the third match in a row, the Wildcats fell to the Aztecs Friday afternoon 4-3.
For the first time this season, Arizona is ranked in the Campbell's/ITA College Tennis Rankings in a tie with six other teams at No. 75.
Also ranked for the first time this season is freshman Natasha Marks, at No. 124, who lost to SDSU's Emma Cioffi 7-6 (5), 3-6, 6-4.
Senior Danielle Steinberg is still undefeated this season in singles for dual matches with a win today against Julia Trunk 6-2, 7-5 in the number one spot. Also undefeated in singles is freshman Sarah Landsman, who defeated Olivia Colman 6-0, 6-2 in the number four spot.
'We lost but we gained a world of knowledge today.' Said assistant coach Ryan Stotland, 'This is a great lesson learned. We know what we need to work on, and losing is only going to make us better. It's about having a good attitude, having fun, and of course some hard work too. We showed a lot of heart and we're looking to bounce back tomorrow against USD.'

Knowledge Base
Want to know how to do something? Want to know how something works? The answer probably lies in the Knowledge Base.
Public computers are clusters of personal computers and workstations in open-access work spaces that are connected to the computer network. These computers are available in several locations around campus. They are in high demand, so please be courteous of other users.
Information, Technology & Consulting (ITC) maintains public computers in the following locations:
In addition, computers in the Instructional Center in 37 Dewey Field Road are also maintained by Information, Technology & Consulting.
Several academic departments (for example, the departments of Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Geography, Mathematics, Music, and Physics and Astronomy) provide specialized laboratories or work spaces specifically to support the computing needs of their disciplines. These facilities are maintained by those departments or groups.
To report a problem with a public computer, send an email message to [email protected]. Be sure to include the name and number of the computer (usually located on a white sticker on the front of the computer), the location of the computer, and a general description of the problem.
To request additional software be added or updated on the public computers maintained by ITC, send an email message to [email protected].
People who would like software added to the public computers need to provide at least two weeks lead time prior to having the software installed on the computers. If it is a commercial product, proof of ownership of the software will need to be provided for the number of machines on which the public cluster image is installed.
Software will not be installed on a single computer for a single user.
If you need to do something that will cause you to be away from this computer for more than ten minutes, take your things with you so that someone else can use the computer. There is approximately one public computer for every 100 students at Dartmouth, so you need to make the computer available for others to use in your absence.
Do not leave your only copy of a document on a public computer. The next person to use the computer can delete your file(s) and you will not be able to retrieve it. Additionally, as part of general maintenance, public computers are periodically reset to a default state. All files saved by public computer users are deleted and can't be retrieved.
For information on where you can store your documents on a networked server, see Using a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Program. It is advisable to carry an external USB device with you so that you can save all your work to the device instead of the public computer. External USB devices can be purchased at The Computer Store located in the basement of McNutt.
If you have questions or need further information, contact your department's IT support office, or contact the IT Service Desk via email at [email protected], via phone at 603-646-2999 or walk in to see them in Baker/Berry 178J.

Occupancy hits 5-year low
Occupancy rates for skilled nursing facilities dropped to 82.2% in the second quarter of 2016 — the lowest level in five years, according to a report released in September by the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care.
The drop was likely due to healthcare payment and delivery reform initiatives, and not just seasonal changes, the report's authors noted.
The NIC report also found that Medicaid revenue increased slightly during the second quarter, while Medicare managed care revenue appeared to taper off.

Noted filmmaker Anurag Basu has said that "while cinema industry of the entire world is wary of Hollywood, we (Indian cinema) are not scared of the it." "We stand tall while most of the film industries all over world have suffered because of Hollywood. But we are not scared," Basu said, while inaugurating the special package to celebrate centenary year of Indian cinema at the IFFI 2012 here yesterday.
Basu, who has directed films like Barfi!, Life in a Metro and Murder, said he is not wary of releasing his films clashing with the Hollywood ones.
"I am not scared to release my film along with movies like Spiderman or a Tom Cruise flick," he said.
The director claimed that "soon Hollywood will have to see our release calender before releasing their movie."
Basu, who was the chief guest for the event, termed himself "a small part of this lovely journey of the Indian cinema."
During the inauguration of the centenary package at IFFI, an onstage dialogue between Dada Saheb Phalke and his wife Saraswati, unravelling his passion that pioneered silent black and white cinema in India, was performed by actors Lillette Dubey and Mohammad Ali Baig.
Veteran filmmaker M S Sathyu had designed the set for the onstage dialogue, written by Sharayu Phalke Saummanwar, the grand niece of Dada Saheb Phalke.

Situated in the West Midlands, Victoria Park has a large number of pupils for whom English is an additional language, and a high percentage of pupils on Free School Meals. In 2007, the school was taken out of Special Measures by Ofsted and four years later in 2011, was judged to be Outstanding.
Technology, and the institutions innovative 1:1 Scheme based on Shape the Future, helped play a key part in achieving this transformation. More information about the work that RM did with the team at Victoria Park is outlined in the case study below.
The core ingredients for success to help a school realise all the benefits of a 1:1 scheme, based on the Victoria Park Academy experience, are also illustrated below:
- The school needs to have Head Teacher and senior staff with a vision of what sort of institution it aspires to be, and what it wants for its pupils
- It must have a body of staff who are enthusiastic and, indeed, passionate to make the vision a reality. The staff have to be willing to take it on
- There needs to be a structure or framework into which a 1:1 programme fits. Simply having lots of devices is not enough: there needs to be support in the form of teachers and specialist intervention staff (the 'Enrichment Coaches' in Victoria Park's case). Also opportunities for the children to teach, learn from and collaborate with each other, and a curriculum which provides opportunities to use the devices in a meaningful and creative way by the children both individually and when working with others
- The judicious, i.e. targeted, use of funds in order to make very precise adjustments in order to obtain the highest return in terms of rates of improvement
- Getting parents actively involved with their children's learning
- Forging good partnerships with other organisations. Victoria Park has partnered with RIO, Creative Alliance and, of course, RM Education and Microsoft for its 1:1 programme
- Excellent technical support in the shape of a full-time school technician
- Support for staff. At Victoria Park, for example, all teachers have been issued with devices for lesson preparation, presenting to their classes and getting to grips with the software available
- The school should be a learning school, willing to try new things out and take a few risks
- The time has to be right: the school needs to have the capacity in terms of skills and even emotions to take something like this on. Immediately following an Ofsted judgement of "Special Measures" is, perhaps, not ideal


text: So I got Mario Kart Wii today. Mario Kart Wii, by the way, is awesome. The only down side about it is the bikes, I think they're horrible and should have never been included in the first place, but oh well. NWFC was very fast to get other players and apart from waiting an extra second or two for the countdown lights, every race I had (I had 4) were all lag free. All 4 were Worldwide, and I had faced British and French players, and there were 2-12 players in the 4 matches. Drifting doesn't feel nerfed, it feels like the DS version when breaking, but more realistic. You can't just keep going side to side all the time and get more boost, which I prefer. MKDS got too focused on Snaking and not on the actual racing, where as this puts the focus back on the racing. I'll probably write a review later or something. Anyway, when I went into GAME to pick up MKW I noticed there was some sort of Promotional offer on. I was hoping it was for a cheaper Wii Remote or something, but it was better then that. It turned out, it was for Sega Superstar Tennis! The deal was that when I bought MKW, I got Sega Tennis for the small price of £20! Now, I wanted to get this game but refused to pay £40 for it, it wasn't that much of an essential. However, for £20, and considering it was a get-now-or-get-never situation, how could I refuse? Then I realised my sister would want to play MKW too, so I ended up getting an extra Wii Wheel. All in all, I ended up spending £60 Oh well!

The theme is "It's Easy Being Green," as the 2011 Cowlitz County Fair opens today and runs through Sunday. As usual, the event will kick off with the annual Kiwanis Kids Day Parade, with local children marching through downtown Longview to the Fairgrounds. Lineup starts at 10 am at Commerce and Florida, then the parade itself starts at 11 am, coming down Commerce to Maple, cutting over to 7th Avenue, then up 7th to the Fairgrounds. The fair itself opens at 11 am, and will be open to 10 pm tonight; they'll be open until 11 pm tomorrow and Saturday, and from 11 am to 7 pm on Sunday. This year's fair will feature a new carnival vendor, Davis Cascadia Amusement; they'll also have the fair's first-ever Thunder Mountain Barbecue Championship, a competition that's officially sanctioned by the Pacific Northwest Barbecue Association. Country Music star Jo Dee Messina performs tonight at 7 pm; Messina says that a portion of tonight's concert will be dedicated to Rainier Police Chief Ralph Painter; she says that she was deeply touched after hearing about his murder, and plans to dedicate a song to his memory. She also says that they hope to show at least a portion of his funeral procession at tonight's show. The Thunder Mountain Pro Rodeo runs tomorrow and Saturday, and the Demolition Derby will be held at 2 pm on Sunday. Big crowds are expected as the weather should be perfect this year; admission to the fair is free, but separate tickets are required for tonight's concert, the rodeo and the demolition derby.

Holcomb Fire
Embers from a fireplace are getting the blame for starting a fire that did some significant damage to a home in the 1600 block of Holcomb Road yesterday morning, also sending the home's owner to the hospital with smoke inhalation. Crews from Cowlitz 2 Fire and Rescue were called to 1646 Holcomb Road at about 11:30 am; when fire crews arrived, they found the homeowner on the roof, trying to use fire extinguishers to get the fire out. The homeowner came down off the roof and firefighters took over, getting the fire out in less than five minutes, with an area of about 20 square feet burned. There was also smoke and water damage inside the house. The homeowner was taken to St. John Medical Center for treatment; he reports that the loss is not insured.
Dumpster Arson
A fire reported early yesterday morning in the 800 block of 7th Avenue in Longview is being looked into as a possible arson. Fire crews were called about a dumpster fire at about 3:15 am, and witnesses say that the fire was spreading. By the time firefighters arrived, they say that the fire had spread to nearby bushes and a fence, and was also threatening a PUD pole. They got the fire put out before any additional damage was done; evidence at the scene indicates that this was an arson incident. No suspects have been identified.
Suspect Chase
Longview Police say that it took some doing to track down Shane O'Neil Miles, 32, of Longview, having to chase him for some distance before finding him at a home in the 600 block of 23rd Avenue. LPD says that Miles was wanted on several outstanding warrants, and was spotted by an officer at about 6:30 pm, walking in the 600 block of 23rd. He reportedly started running, heading into back yards and jumping fences in the attempt to elude police. Around 6:46 pm, someone reported seeing Miles go into a home in the 600 block of 22nd; officers went to that house and took Miles into custody shortly before 7 pm. He's now being held on three counts of malicious mischief, interfering with the reporting of domestic violence, fourth-degree domestic violence assault and a trip permit violation.
Shoplifter Snagged
Felony assault charges are being filed against Brandyn Kristopher Francis, 27, after he allegedly bit and choked a security guard from the Safeway store on 15th Avenue in Longview. This incident was reported at about 12:30 yesterday afternoon. Store personnel called Longview Police, saying that store security had been assaulted as they tried to detain Francis for alleged shoplifting. Francis traveled for several blocks, finally being located and arrested in an alley in the 1400 block between 8th and 9th Avenues. He's now being held without bail, charged with third-degree assault and third-degree theft.
PUD News
The Cowlitz PUD is making plans to hold rate hearings some time next month, after getting word from the Bonneville Power Administration that wholesale power rates are going up nearly 8 percent in October. The BPA announced earlier this week that wholesale power rates will go up 7.8 percent on October first. PUD officials say that they were waiting for this news, also saying that the wholesale rate hike is actually less than they expected. The Cowlitz PUD buys about 90 percent of its electricity supply from the BPA, and will be required to make a rate adjustment to reflect this increased cost. The exact size of the projected increase hasn't yet been determined. PUD officials say that they should know more in the next few weeks, and will release those figures prior to the rate hearing, which will be held at one of the regular PUD Commission meetings in September.
A six-week competition between Cowlitz PUD employees has been a big benefit to the Help Food Warehouse, as the employees collected more than 16,000 pounds of food over a six-week period. Dave Andrew says that PUD employees were split into two teams, competing to see who could raise the most food and money. Along with the food donations, the teams collected $3,761 in cash. This is the fourth year of the PUD employee competition, which has now resulted in more than 18 tons of food for the Help Food Warehouse.

Wu Resigns
The man who represents Columbia County in Congress now says he will resign amid the political fallout from an 18-year-old woman's allegations of an unwanted sexual encounter with him. Democratic leaders had requested a House Ethics Committee investigation of the conduct of Congressman David Wu, and pressure had been growing for him to resign. In a statement issued late yesterday morning, Wu said he would put the wellbeing of his children first, and says that he plans to step away from Congress after the debt ceiling issue is settled. Attention now turns to finding Wu's replacement; Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber announced yesterday that plans are already in the works to conduct a special election to select Wu's replacement. Several possible contenders are already lining up, including several people who'd already announced plans to run for the seat next year. Among those is current Oregon state representative Brad Witt of Clatskanie, along with Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian and businessman Rob Miller.

JHAT Jr.: Discovering America's History
This project's districts are located in north-central Utah, where a previous Teaching American History grant for middle and high school teachers was quite successful. To help elementary teachers become conversant and comfortable with teaching history, the project will engage participants in a 15-day seminar during their first year of participation. In subsequent years, shorter seminars and eight days of field study will be used to deliver content knowledge and methods training, and these will be bolstered every year by follow-up support and coaching. Three cohorts will convene in a tiered arrangement: Cohorts 1 and 3 will serve 30 teachers each from year-round schools, and Cohort 2 will serve 30 teachers from 9-month schools; Cohort 1 will begin in Year 1, Cohort 2 in Year 2, and Cohort 3 in Year 3, with all continuing through Year 5. By starting small, project leaders intend to take lessons learned about effective activities from the first cohort and apply them as remaining cohorts move into the project. All activities and instruction will focus on how the words and deeds of individuals shape history. During seminars, scholars and historians will guide learning of traditional American history, and the project director and a master teacher will lead methods sessions. Field visits will consist of explorations to local and national historic sites, and these will be guided by essential questions that prompt research and study. Throughout, teachers will collaborate to develop lesson units, podcasts, videos and other teaching resources. These materials will be shared on a project Web site and through the National History Education Clearinghouse.

Full Text of the Excerpt
- The question is frequently asked, "is Florida really a southern state?"
- Well, I think Florida is almost a microcosm of the country, in a sense. You have a substantial part of Florida that is very, very much a southern state. You have other parts of it that really are more metropolitan, but overall, I would judge Florida as a southern state. I think that you have some people all the way down from Pensacola to Key West, you know, in Miami, up to Jacksonville, that are pretty southern. But I believe that the influx of people from the other parts of the nation has had a very good effect upon Florida. The same way that people coming from other parts of the world came to the United States. To a large extent, Florida is a melting pot of the country. And I think that with them they have brought leadership and a more mellowing and tempering of views. And as a result, I think that it is still very much a southern state, but I think that it is progressive southern state.
