This free online calculator will add one mixed number to another, or subtract one mixed number from another -- regardless if the two mixed numbers have the same or different denominators -- and give the resulting fraction in simplest form.
Plus, unlike some other online mixed number calculators, this calculator will show its work and give a detailed step-by-step explanation as to how it arrived at the result.
The only difference between adding or subtracting mixed numbers and adding or subtraction fractions, is that before you begin to add or subtract you must first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, you first multiply the denominator of the fractional portion by the whole number and then add that product to the numerator. That result then becomes the numerator (top) of the improper fraction, while the denominator (bottom) remains unchanged.
|3 x 2 + 1
Once you have converted the mixed numbers to improper fractions, you simply add or subtract the fractions as usual (the calculator will show its work in case you're not sure of the steps involved).
With that, let's use the Adding Subtracting Mixed Numbers Calculator to add one mixed number to another, or to subtract one from the other.

Mixed number: A number that consist of a whole number and a fraction. Examples of mixed numbers would include 11/2, 33/5, 51/6, etc.
Whole number: The number located to the left of fractional portion of a mixed number. In the mixed number 24/5, the number 2 would be the whole number.
Numerator: The top number of the fractional portion of a mixed number. In the mixed number 24/5, the number 4 would be the numerator.
Denominator: The bottom number of the fractional portion of a mixed number. In the mixed number 24/5, the number 5 would be the denominator.
Answer: This is the result of addition or subtraction of the two mixed numbers. After performing the operation, the calculator will show its work and give a detailed explanation of each step it took to arrive at the answer.
Improper fraction: A fraction containing a numerator (top) that is larger than the denominator (bottom). Examples of improper fractions would include 9/5, 17/4, 39/38, etc.
Augend: Usually the first number of an addition problem.
Addend: Usually the second (or other) numbers to be added to the first number.
Minuend: Usually the first number listed in a subtraction problem.
Subtrahend: Usually the second number listed in a subtraction problem.
Sum: The result after performing addition.
Difference: The result after performing subtraction.

Who Is Imagine Schools?
Imagine Discovery is a member of a national family of public charter schools that empowers educators in partnership with parents to prepare students for lives of leadership, accomplishment, and character. Imagine operates 73 public charter schools in 12 states and the District of Columbia. We serve 40,000 students nationwide by providing them with a challenging, effective program of academic study and strong moral development in a safe, nurturing environment. All Imagine schools are tuition-free public schools of choice.
Each school is uniquely tailored to its community, both in curriculum and structure. Locally, Imagine Schools operates schools in Prince George's County and Baltimore County, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. In 2011 and 2012, Imagine Schools will be opening new schools in Prince George's County and Anne Arundel County, respectively.
Imagine Schools is dedicated to helping parents and guardians fulfill the important responsibility for the education of their children. We operate Imagine charter school campuses where we teach, love, set examples, and have fun! Talented teachers and leaders join Imagine Schools because they sense the hope and energy of those who are driven, passionate, and determined. Parents recognize the special spirit of our campuses and students are excited to be part of schools where they are encouraged to take on new challenges, to explore new concepts, and to become people of character.
At Imagine Schools we celebrate the creativity, tenacity, and courage to take something good and commit to making it great. We are not afraid to try new things, to evaluate ourselves, to remedy and improve. We want students to share the excitement of creating and building something beautiful and enduring. We commit to love with abandon, teach virtue, and help our students to flourish in imagination and hope.
Measures of Excellence
Transparency and accountability are at the forefront of all that we do at Imagine Schools. The same level of transparency and accountability that is expected of Imagine Schools Non-Profit is expected of each of the schools operated by Imagine.
These two indicators are driven by the Six Measures of Excellence. We use these measures each year to grade our Imagine Schools based on several inputs provided by each school. Several data collection methods are used throughout the year to provide indicators of progress toward adhering to the Measures of Excellence.
Below are the Six Measures of Excellence and the methods used to collect the data that are employed to assign a grade in each:
Academic Achievement
- Stanford 10 — Both pre- and post-tests are used to determine same-student annual learning gains.
- MSA testing — Students will take the appropriate state-mandated testing, which will provide evidence of Adequate Yearly Progress.
Parent Choice
- Annual parent choice survey — This survey is administered in the spring of each school year to all families. The results are used to determine the level of satisfaction that our families have with the schools we operate.
- New student enrollment and eligible returning student re-enrollment rates — Parents who are satisfied with the school will generally re-enroll their children for the following school year. In addition, successful schools will generally have a high number of new student enrollments and wait lists.
Character Development
- Successful implementation of a Character Education Program — Teaching character education is required in all Imagine Schools. Twice a year, we conduct school-wide surveys to monitor the effectiveness of these programs.
Shared Values
- Shared values of Integrity, Justice, and Fun are at the forefront of the Imagine Schools' operating philosophy of "Joy at Work." Ensuring that our schools and their respected leaders adhere to and teach these values to their staff is critical to our overall success. Each year we conduct a shared values survey with each staff member. This gives us feedback on how their school is operating under this philosophy.
Economic Sustainability
- In simple terms, our schools are required to live within their means by financially breaking even each year. Receiving a high grade under this measure is conducive to operating a fiscally sustainable school. In order to do this, all school stakeholders need to understand the budget and do everything in their control to spend in alignment with this budget.
New School Development
- Although existing schools aren't directly responsible for developing new schools, they are expected to operate high-quality programs that will provide Imagine Schools with the ability to open and develop additional programs.

From Berlin, New Hampshire, USA:
My eight year old, who has had type 1 diabetes for six years and has been on the insulin pump for the last three years, is very smart in his care. He can figure out his own bolus (which is double-checked by an adult) and then boluses himself once he knows what the amount is. I have asked the school to let him bolus himself after he is done eating his snack. This would have him leave class once instead of twice for one snack. The nurse is refusing to do so. How much say do parents have on their child's care at school? I want to prepare my son for a bigger school next year where he will have to be more independent. His doctor agrees with me, but we cannot get the school nurse to let us help my son grow.
I'm not sure I understand why your son would have to leave class twice. Why can't he stay in nurse's office (if that is where he eats his snack), finish his snack, and then take his bolus right there? Of course, I would place a time limit of say 10-15 minutes on doing this. Making him leave to eat his snack I would make sure that you include this in your son's 504 plan which should be signed by his physician. The nurse is obligated to abide by doctor's orders. See The Law, Schools, and Your Child with Diabetes.

An exploration of tampon use intentions among female college students based on the Theory of Planned Behavior: examining sexual orientation and gender characteristic as effect modifiers
Conducted by Dr. Jiun-Hau Huang, Associate Professor in the Institute of Health Behaviors and Community Sciences in the College of Public Health, National Taiwan University, and his colleagues, a new study has been published in the August 2015 issue of the Taiwan Journal of Public Health. According to this study, female college students' intentions to use tampons were mostly influenced by positive attitudes and supportive subjective norms, moderated by their sexual orientation and gender characteristic (butch/femme identity). This work was featured in August 2015 by several media outlets, including Central News Agency, UDN, NOW News, Liberty Times Net, China Times, etc.
Key Words:
Theory of Planned Behavior, tampon use intentions, female college students, sexual orientation, gender characteristic (butch/femme)

St. Tammany Parish Councilman Reid Falconer, elected last week to the chairmanship of the parish's governing body, will be seeking an even loftier political position next year. Falconer plans to run in the fall 2015 election for the state House of Representatives' 89th District seat representing the Mandeville/Madisonville area.
The post is currently held by state Rep. Tim Burns, who cannot seek re-election due to term limits.
While there are no term limits on members of the Parish Council, Falconer, a Madisonville resident, said he is a believer in limits on elected officials. "I think two terms is certainly what I anticipated when I ran the first time,'' the two-term councilman said. "It makes perfect sense to me to allow someone else the opportunity to be elected to Parish Council's District 4."
Falconer - an architect, planner and builder - said he would like to take his experience on the council and apply it to the Legislature. "I certainly know the issues," he said, ticking off infrastructure, education and mental health services as the biggest issues in the Mandeville area.
Last week he mailed invitations to a Jan. 27 fundraiser to some residents of the Mandeville area. The $350 per couple event, dubbed a campaign kickoff fundraiser, will be held at Keith Young's Steakhouse in Madisonville.
Falconer has not made a formal announcement of his run for Legislature, and the fundraising event will be his first for the race. "We felt we needed to get in and start this thing early . . . "
A legislative race without an incumbent is likely to draw several candidates, he said.
Falconer noted the timing of his mailer, coming at the same time as his election as council chairman, could have been better.
"The timing is never perfect," he said. "I was pleased and honored by my colleagues to be elected chair."
Falconer has lived in St. Tammany since 1984. He has a bachelor's degree in architecture and master's degrees in finance and business administration, all from LSU.

Hip bursitis is a chronic pain, usually deep and achy, in the side of the hip or at the base of the hip in the buttock. The bursa (fluid-filled sacs between your tendons and bones) provide cushion to the hip joint. They become inflamed when the joint is stressed or overused. Performing a low impact movement can help to strengthen the muscles that support the hip area and provide relief to the inflamed bursa.
In comfortable clothing, lay flat on your back with your legs straight across the floor and arms to the sides. Bend your left leg and, using your hands, place your left ankle as high on your right thigh as you can. Ideally, your left ankle should be resting on the upper right thigh at the hip. Continue to hold your ankle with both hands. If this is too difficult, then take a scarf or belt and wrap it around the ankle and gently pull the ankle up toward the hip area. This will give you more leverage and help keep your back and shoulders on the floor.
Now slowly rotate the left leg up, so your knee comes up to face the ceiling, and then lower it back to the floor. You will feel the stretch in the hip. This movement opens the hip joint and increases blood flow to the area. Repeat the movement 10 to 15 times. Don't overextend or try to touch your knee to the ground. Keep the range of motion comfortable.
Return your left leg to the floor and switch legs. Place your right ankle on top of your left leg, resting the ankle near the hip joint. Hold your right ankle with both hands and lift the right leg up and back down toward the floor. Repeat 10 to 15 times.
Try to work up to three sets of these exercises, alternating your legs. At first you may feel tight and stiff, but the hip cavity will warm up and your flexibility will increase within just two sets. Keep in mind that you should always keep your back, head and shoulders on the floor.

Kim Soo Hyun destroys Lee Min Ho in "Best in Hanbok" poll
As if we didn't already know Kim Soo Hyun looks amazing in a hanbok, there are now survey results that prove it. Recently, on NS Home Shopping, a survey taken by 330 females asked which male celebrity looked best in traditional hanbok. A whopping 76% of survey takers crowned Kim Soo Hyun as "Best in Hanbok," leaving Lee Min Ho in the dust with a measly 14%.
Now, a lot of you Minoz probably just got mad that he didn't win, but let's face the reality here. Kim Soo Hyun rocks a hanbok like no other. He just has perfectly classic features and a face shape that works well with whatever traditional hat he wears. I mean, sorry, but he deserved all 76% of those votes and you would agree too if you drooled over him in The Moon that Embraces the Sun and are currently drooling over him in My Love From Another Star.
In case you didn't know...
Watch: A shy, nerdy young woman wakes up in the bed of a prince in Last Cinderella.
Gawwd don't you just want a guy from the Joseon Dynasty?!
Kim Soo Hyun is Like: "WINNING!"
Are you Team Soo Hyun, or Team Min Ho in a hanbok?

Today is the one year anniversary of my wedding day. At approximately this time last year, I would have been sitting in the hair salon with five of the most important women in my life, two photographers, approximately a six gallons of hair spray and more bobby pins than I could possibly count (but that I would spend a substantial portion of my wedding night removing). There were butterflies in my stomach. Maybe they were small helicopters. At any rate, by the time I finally got into my wedding dress a few hours later, nervous vomiting was a very real possibility. My stomach remained in that state until the moment I saw Dan. At that moment, everything became calm. Clear. Grounded. Happy. When I took his hands and with all that I am, and all that I have, honored him as my life partner, everything else faded away.
I'd been warned to not expect my wedding day to be the best day of my life. It was the disclaimer at the end of almost every sentence, every advice book, etc. I have to say, though, that so far, my wedding day has been the best day of my life. It was beautiful, powerful and fun, and I shared it with a couple of hundred people who have seen me at my best and my worst. It was amazing beyond words.
People have a lot of advice about weddings, but they don't actually give a whole lot of it about marriage. I think I've come to understand that the reason for that is that no matter what state your marriage is in, it is a union bound in an experience that is beyond words. The reason that all those sitcoms about marriage are funny (arguably) is because a lot of those experiences have happened to a lot of people - but that's not what marriage is. There are certainly the every day annoyances of living with another human being - but that's not what marriage is.
In the first year, here is what I think I know:
1. Marriage is not something you ARE, it's something you DO. There used to be this billboard at an intersection near my office that said "What have you done for your marriage today?" It seems sort of silly. But it's true.
2. Marriage may change things, but it doesn't change people. Some people would probably argue with me about that one, but I think that's a function of deciding that marriage is something you ARE. If it's something you DO, you are doing it with the same person that you married in the first place. That is at once very comforting, and totally frustrating. That person comes with all the things you love about them, and all of the things that irritate you about them.
3. Because marriage is something you do, and because you are the same person you were when you married this other person, care of your own self is so crucially important. Lots of people seem to think that you naturally become this pod, particularly once children are introduced. That's great if you're into it - but really, there's no need to be a pod. You can be your own pea.
4. As a companion to #3, you must have things that you and your spouse do together. Make dates. Make up silly songs that you sing to one another. Plan trips. Don't have everything centered around what you "have to do." Don't forget about "want to do"s.
5. Don't get caught up in what's next. I think this is the hardest one for me. There are so many things that I want to do - with Dan and without Dan. The sitcom version of marriage (as well as the extended family version) is that you have kids next. Boy, does that ever make something that's already complicated even more so. If you want kids, great. If thinking about kids makes you really excited, but thinking about kids right now makes the tiny helicopters come back in a bad way, it can probably wait a bit.
6. Set aside time for state of the union discussions. Where you're at, where you're going, where you'd like to go. Every day life has a tendency to thwart those sometimes, but they're really important.
I'm sure there's much, much more. I'm only a rookie after all. I do know that after a year has gone by, seeing Dan's face at the end of the day is still my favorite thing. It's home. And it's great.
Happy anniversary, my love.

Welcome to my lifestyle blog where I will give you positive Fitspirational messages! Following the lead of my fellow celebutants, I hope to make this blog a combination of inspirational messages and high-end & locally grown product endorsements. I'll also feature travel guides (albums of places I've been), microrecipes (tiny versions of actual meals that I've sampled), coupons-coupons-coupons, wellness mantras, stock tips, and yoga poses that you'll find good for both self-defense and other more tantric purposes.
This blog will help you change yourself by changing how you see yourself when you look in the mirror. The right handbag, the perfect tan, some deep defrizzing can go a long way toward bringing out the inner you. Sometimes you've got to see your reflection to realize you're not standing tall! But don't get stuck on staring at your reflection, at your front side. You've got to look through yourself, look behind yourself. Because once you can see behind yourself, you can get your own back.
And I've got your back! I'm like your mirror (or two — cuz it takes two mirrors to see your back technically speaking). I'm like your bestie-bff who's not afraid to tell you NOT to go out in those orange lycra pants (wear the pink ones!). I'm the eyes in the back of your head looking at the mirror behind you, the one that reflects your backside, and holding up a thumbs up so you can see it in the mirror you are looking into on the front side. Like a true friend who calls it like she sees it.
Like my great aunt always said, "Your eyes are the window of the soul, so wear some mascara." This is a blog my great aunt would be proud to read if she didn't have advanced-stage macular degeneration. (I love you grauntie! I'll come read this to you.)
Hello, World!
I'm told that the first post that someone writes on a blog should be their Hello, World post. So, Hello, World! here's a song that we're singing. Come on get happy! There's actually a lot of wisdom in that Partridge Family song, don't you think? Plus, David Cassidy is so cute in it. Love that feathered hair! So I saw this painting the other day, and thought — YES! It perfectly captures the theme of my blog: seeing your own behind, getting your own back! It's about looking through all the layers of...read more

This is not just hubris and narcissism, a violation of the public trust and bad judgment, Anthony Weiner aka CARLOS DANGER is a man with serious problems when it comes to women. How many psychologists would like to ask him why he chose this pseudonym.
We also have to question the judgment of these women also who engage in this type of behavior with one, a public figure and two, someone who behaves as Weiner does. If he takes time to type, read and send such messages, it's more than an off-hand remark or sex-play talk, it's deliberate.
Even at 23, Sydney Leathers capable of exhibiting good judgment.
I'm no prude but the cultural decline in America should be examined by all. It's too pervasive to be ignored. Just look at her list of heroes – Anthony Weiner, Bill Maher, Alan Grayson, Julian Assange, Keith Olbermann and more.
Additionally: Add this type of behavior by Weiner below pre 2011 scandal. And we have a track record which may be longer and more disturbing.
From 2011 article with transcript from a Radar Online article
From transcript of a nine-month "sexting" relationship Weiner had with a Las Vegas blackjack dealer.
Radar Online posted the transcript, and it is rife with misogyny and distorted views about women. In referring to oral sex, Wiener tells her, "You will gag on me before you c** with me in you" and "[I'm] thinking about gagging your hot mouth with my c***."
"I hear liberal girls are very, uh, accommodating of other[s],"
He asks the woman, who is Jewish, "You give good h**d?" and she says yes, he exclaims: "Wow a Jewish girl who sucks c***! this thing is ready to do damage."
This comes full circle now, until next time…
Later, Leathers claimed Weiner became "controlling" toward the end of their online relationship. He would tell me that he would be jealous," Leathers said. "He would look at my Facebook frequently. He would tell me that he would get jealous if other men would compliment me. Just little stuff like that."

Um, is anyone else freaking out that we are about to be halfway through 2015?! 2015 was supposed to be my year, but it looks like I might have to pin those hopes onto 2016 at this point. The year is going to quickly, and I feel left behind.
May was a pretty bad month to be honest. I didn't really post much, school sucked, everything I started didn't get finished, May had new friends and old friends all thrown together. It was one of those months when the highs are seriously high, and the lows were worse.
On the blog, I did very little. Jo guest posted, and I guest posted for her in return. My post popular post was The Creative Blogger Award. I have many other awards to do, and I hope to get around to them this month. I didn't get around to reading others blogs as much as I would have liked to. I even skipped commenting some posts, sorry! I promise to try harder in June.
Reading wise, I read 10 books in May. My favourite would have to be This Song Will Save Your Life, closely followed by Life in Outer Space and Alice and the Fly.

Water stains turn beautiful couches into eyesores. However, by acting quickly and using the proper stain remover, you can restore your couch to its unstained glory.Continue Reading
Stains are much more difficult to get out once they have set, so if you spill water, get to work immediately. Saving the chore for later makes getting rid of the stain much more difficult, if not impossible.
It may be tempting to use more water to spread and dilute the stain or to soak the cushions in a cleaner, but doing this makes the stain worse. Targeted cleaning with a damp cloth is more effective.
If you have a microfiber couch, use a baby wipe. For leather and suede, you may need to purchase a specialty cleaner. For other types of couches, try a 3:1 ratio of baking powder to club soda or denatured alcohol; just make sure to test it on a small patch first.
Dry the couch quickly after cleaning it. Turn on a fan if you have one, or you can even use a hair dryer on certain spots that are wetter than others.

Property investment firm Telereal is selling 55 UK properties worth around £475 million.
The company is believed to be the testing the market's appetite for large portfolios with the sale of these assets. Telereal has appointed CBRE to sell the office properties, which are principally let to RBS.

Janet Evanovich goes into great detail describing the homes that are along A St. NE.
The objective of this lesson is to gain an understanding of architectural designs and styles of housing.

3) Have each student research four different styles of housing that appeals to them. What about these styles catches the eye? What are their major design flaws? Are there any of these styles in your neighborhood? Where have you seen them before?

Alabama Ends Season with Loss to Tennessee Tech, 6-2
May 30, 2009
Courtesy of Alabama Athletics
CLEMSON, S.C. - Alabama ended its season with a 6-2 loss to Tennessee Tech in an elimination game at the 2009 NCAA Clemson Regional at Doug Kingsmore Stadium Saturday afternoon.
Alabama wraps up the season with a 37-21 record after making its 12th regional appearance in the past 15 seasons.
Tennessee Tech senior right-hander Michael Alcorn tossed a 129-pitch complete game to lead the Golden Eagles past Alabama. Alcorn (3-3) held the Crimson Tide lineup to two runs on nine hits with six strikeouts and four walks. The Tech defense turned three doubles plays and Alabama stranded seven base runners, including four in scoring position.
Sophomore second baseman Ross Wilson, junior third baseman Brandon May and senior catcher Vin DiFazio each had two hits for the Crimson Tide and combined for six of the team's nine hits. DiFazio was UA's leading hitter at the Clemson Regional with a .571 (4-for-7) average. Wilson hit .500 (3-for-6) and May hit .444 (4-for-9) in the Tide's two games. Wilson ended the year with a career-best 16-game hitting streak.
Alabama held a brief 1-0 lead in the second inning on three straight singles from Kent Matthes, May and Clay Jones. Jones' RBI single struck the leg of Alcorn and ricocheted into right field. The Tide did not generate any more offense in the inning as DiFazio struck out and Del Howell, making his second start of the season, grounded into a double play.
Tennessee Tech took the lead for good in the bottom of the second inning on Chad Hayes' two-run single to right field and tacked on another run in the firth when it loaded the bases with no outs against UA starter Adam Morgan. The Golden Eagles settled for only one run on A.J. Kirby-Jones' sacrifice fly to right field. The Tide escaped with a 3-1 deficit when Ben Burgess lined out and Evan Webb grounded out to kill the rally.
Alabama tried to get back in the game in the seventh inning with one run on three hits, but had the inning end when May was thrown out at home plate after Howell's sharp single deflected off the glove of Hayes at second base to end the inning. Wilson led off the inning with a walk before Matthes flied out to center field. May followed with a single to left to put runners at first and second with one out before Jones flied out to right for the second out of the inning. DiFazio followed with an RBI single to left field to narrow the TTU lead to 3-2.
With runners at first and second, Howell then smashed a sharp single off the glove of Hayes at second base to advance both runners and May was waved from third to home in an attempt to tie the game, but Hayes recovered the ball and fired a perfect strike to catcher Cory Wright, who tagged May for the final out of the inning.
Tech seized the momentum and the game by tacking on three runs in the bottom half of the seventh inning to take a 6-2 lead. Alex Henry stroked a leadoff double and later scored on a throwing error by Morgan on Chad Oberacker's sacrifice bunt attempt. Webb and Wright later added RBI singles off reliever Nathan Kilcrease to give the Golden Eagles the final four-run lead.
Morgan (4-2) allowed six runs and eight hits in six-plus innings and took the loss. Kilcrease faced four batters and allowed three hits, while redshirt freshman Tyler White worked 1 2/3 scoreless innings with three strikeouts.
Alabama put two runners on base with two outs in the eighth before Matthes struck out on a 3-2 pitch. In the ninth, the Tide had two on and one out before Howell struck out and Tyler Odle popped up to end the game.
Tennessee Tech improves to 34-20-1 and advances to face the loser of tonight's Clemson-Oklahoma State game on Sunday, June 1. The Golden Eagles now own NCAA Tournament wins over Ohio State, Wake Forest and Alabama in its four NCAA Regional appearances in school history.

It's impossible to make the argument that Islanders coach Jack Capuano isn't trying, or that he doesn't care.
Yet, as of late, it's easy to make the argument that all of the effort and passion has gone for naught, as Capuano's team fell again on Saturday night at the Coliseum, a 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals which was the Islanders' sixth loss in a row — the past five being without the loser's point — and 11th loss in the past 13 games.
And on Friday, the home fans chanted for his head, the singsong of "Fire Cappy" echoing off the crumbling walls. It was bloodlust for the man that was behind the bench as the franchise turned a very difficult corner, making the playoffs just six months ago for the first time since 2007.
"The atmosphere in this building during the playoffs and last spring, there's nothing I want more than to recreate that," Capuano told The Post on Saturday morning, knowing full well he is the one in the position to take the brunt of the fans' angst. "I'm just as frustrated as [the fans] are. We're doing everything we can to turn this around."
Capuano is making roster moves almost every night, in part to deal with some big injuries, and in part to try and inspire some of his players who are struggling to regain their form from last season. Most notably, that was winger Josh Bailey on Friday, as he sat and watched as a healthy scratch while his team was absolutely run out of the building in a 5-0 loss to the Red Wings.
"To me, it's not a wake-up call for Josh," said Capuano, who played Bailey 15:20 after reinserting him back into the lineup in place of rookie Brock Nelson. "I think knowing that the way that he played against Pittsburgh in the playoffs, and watching the way he played and how he started the year, [he knows] how he needs to get back playing."
Bailey didn't do much in his return, getting just one shot on a goal and having the unfortunate distinction of being on the ice as Alex Ovechkin won it for the Capitals in overtime. But for one, Bailey doesn't think that Capuano is losing his locker room during this downturn.
"I think the coaches have done a good job of trying to keep us upbeat and trying to keep us positive," Bailey said. "As players, we try and do a good job, but it's tough when you've had some of the games we've had. When you think about the game, it's frustrating. But you have to look at the next game as a new opportunity."
Capuano was afforded an opportunity four Novembers ago, when he took over for the fired Scott Gordon, who was in the midst of a similar losing streak. Now he has a team that is struggling to perform, no matter what he tries to do.
"It almost like doubt is your biggest opponent," Capuano said. "It's not even the Capitals or the team that you're focusing on. It's yourself."
The coach might have been talking about the players, but he could have very well been talking about his own fate.

Defenseman Calvin de Haan, 23, made his season debut for the Islanders after being recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Thanksgiving. It was the second career NHL game for the No. 12-overall pick from the 2009 draft, going through two shoulder surgeries over the past two seasons.
"I thought he was one of our top defenseman out there tonight," Capuano said after de Haan logged 20:07 of ice time, got two shots on net and had four hits. "He is as advertised. He's poised, good first pass, he makes good decision. I thought his gap was good, good stick. I really liked his game."

The Islanders are struggling without two top-four defensemen in Lubomir Visnovsky (concussion) and Brian Strait (upper-body), both out indefinitely and not close to returning. De Haan was called up to replace fellow rookie Matt Donovan, sent to Bridgeport on Thursday.

BAMAKO, Jan 17 (Reuters) - French troops surrounded the
Malian town of Diabaly on Thursday, keeping Islamists rebels who
had seized it three days ago bottled up while a West African
military force took shape.
By Bate Felix
BAMAKO, Jan 17 (Reuters) - French troops surrounded the
Malian town of Diabaly on Thursday, keeping Islamists rebels who
had seized it three days ago bottled up while a West African
military force took shape.
The French held back from launching a full-out assault on
the town as the Al Qaeda linked rebels had taken refuge in the
homes of civilians.
"The Islamists are still in Diabaly. They are very many of
them. Every time they hear a plane overhead, they run into
homes, traumatising the people," said one woman who fled the
town with her three children overnight.
France began ground operations against an Islamist coalition
grouping al Qaeda's North African wing, AQIM, and the homegrown
Ansar Dine and MUJWA militants on Wednesday after six days of
air strikes.
President Francois Hollande ordered the intervention in the
former French colony on the grounds that the Islamists who had
taken over the north could turn it into a "terrorist state"
which would pose a threat beyond its borders. They will stay
until stability returns, he said.
French forces now total some 1,400 troops, Defence Minister
Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Thursday, and their numbers are
expected to rise to 2,500.
The vanguard of around 900 Nigerian troops was due to arrive
in Mali's capital Bamako on Thursday in the first wave of a
2,000-strong African force to fight alongside the French.
A convoy of armoured vehicles, fuel tankers and ambulances
and around 200 soldiers from Mali's eastern neighbour Niger was
also positioned at that border, witnesses said.
Regional bloc ECOWAS received a United Nations mandate for
an African force in December but a southward advance by the
Islamists this month and the subsequent French intervention made
them deploy sooner that had been planned.
At least eight West African countries, including Chad, Togo
and Nigeria, have promised contingents.
"We have seen in last few days a number of operational
troops arriving on Malian soil," a French government official
said. "We are in a process of accelerating the process which is
the U.N. plan a lot earlier than orginally planned."
Mali's recent troubles began with a coup in Bamako last
March that ended a period of stable democratic rule. In the
confusion that followed, Islamist forces seized large swathes of
the north and imposed a strict rule reminiscent of Afghanistan
under the Taliban.
Military experts say France and its African allies must now
capitalise on a week of hard-hitting air strikes by seizing the
initiative on the ground to prevent the insurgents from
withdrawing into the desert and reorganising.
Diabaly is a rural town with a population of about 35,000
people, situated about 360 km (220 miles) from Bamako and near
the border with Mauritania, where AQIM has bases.
A spokesman for MUJWA confirmed that their positions in
Diabalay had been fired upon but said French forces had not
penetrated the town itself.
Diabaly's mayor, Salif Ouedrago, who fled on Wednesday,
told Malian state radio: "There were deaths on the side of the
jihadists. They buried their dead yesterday."
Meanwhile, the Malian army rushed reinforcements to a town
closer to the capital Bamako on Thursday after Islamist fighters
were spotted near the border with Mauritania.
"Banamba is in a state of alert. Reinforcements have been
sent. Nigerian troops expected to arrive in Bamako today could
be deployed there to secure the zone," a senior Malian military
source told Reuters.
An inhabitant of Banamba, 140 km (90 miles) from the
capital, reported the arrival of soldiers after insurgents were
seen in the Boron border area.
With African states facing huge logistical and transport
challenges to deploy their troops, Germany promised two Transall
military transport planes to help fly in the soldiers.
Britain has supplied two C-17 military transport planes to
ferry in French armoured vehicles and medical supplies. The
United States is considering logistical and surveillance support
but has ruled out sending in U.S. troops.

Gender Roles
Stereotypes of a Male
Let's think deeper: Knowledge issues
Stereotypes of a Female
How stereotype affect us?
Further Ideas or Things To Think About
Enjoy working on cars
Lazy and/or messy
Does not cry in front of people/hides their emotions
The carrier of the family lineage (legacy)
Suppose to be a gentleman- respecting women
Drafted into wars
Gets pointed out for hitting a women
Real-Life Situation:
There are two people who wants to apply for a job working as a construction worker. One of them is a man and one of them is a woman.
Should know how to cook
Supposed to do housework
Characteristics: sensitive, motherly, forgiving, empathetic, strong, caring
More smarter than boys
Cares a lot about their image
Women are not as strong as men
Do we sometimes use stereotype to our advantage, like using it as an excuse?
E.g. Hmong culture/ tradition
Do we use stereotype as a standard that we try to reach or prove wrong?
Where does stereotype even come from?
In what ways and to what extent does gender play a role in how we identify ourselves?
To what extent does oneself have the power to identify themselves in their own society?
What does this show about human behavior?
What is Gender?
: masculine or feminine; the socially constructed differences between men and women
biological sex
: male or female by physical features when you're born
Person A:
A guy named Jake is applying for a job. The job that he is applying for is at a daycare center. Jake has had some experience in babysitting. He is very excited for this job because he loves working with children. He knows how to play, teach, and motivate children.
Person B:
A lady named Sarah is also applying for the daycare job. Sarah has never taken care of children before. She is applying for this job so that she could earn a little extra money. Sarah do not mind taking care of children though since she is a friendly and caring person.
Ways of knowing
Perception, Language, Reasoning
: with how we see ourselves and how others see us by our physical appearance, how we act
: with what we say, how we project ourselves, our diction, use of language
: I am a girl, and because I am a girl and not a boy, therefore I will go to the women's restroom
What is Gender? (cont.)
-The idea that there is a difference between gender identity and your actual biological sex
What is Gender? (cont.)
The idea that everyone self-identifies. What I mean is that everyone is able to identify themselves and see themselves differently than how most people see them. There are certain things that only you know about yourself. ex: Transgender people (they self-identify)
Researchers have found that the women are still the primary doer (The person who does something) of housework
Woman are responsible for most of the food shopping, child care, cleaning, cooking, and even for how the house looks.
However, today's men tend to do more housework compare to men of the past
Between these two, who do you think will get the job?
Person A
: Mary is a woman who is applying for a construction job. She is very excited for this position because she is very interested in architecture and building things. She is also very skilled in working with hands-on projects.
Person B:
Ben is a guy who is also applying for this construction job. He believes that he will be a great candidate for this job because he has a strong build and great strength. He has had some experience in working in construction. But in his previous job he was fired due to certain reasons.
This illustrates how, to some extent, people do have the power to identify and view themselves from others. They choose how to project themselves.
Informal Fallacies
Fallacy of Composition
: belief that what is true for the individual or part is also true for the group or whole
The idea that not only our biology, but also society shapes our identity
A lot of times it is not a choice for us to identify or shape ourselves. Ex: family, advertisement, school
The idea of determinism
Let's Think
: Here, you can see that gender is also a factor when applying to jobs in the real-world. Your gender can make you more suitable or unsuitable for a position. What happens when two great candidates of different genders applies for the same job?
Who would you hire to do these things? Why?
What does this show about Human Behavior?
Society uses sex to socially construct gender. This also brings us to the idea that humans are inventors who create all sorts of organizations or sub-cultures that help to further identify themselves.
Helps people to further pursue their gender identity by having more ways to express themselves.
The next scenario deals with two candidates who are applying for a babysitting job
-The way you express your gender identity is a key to how yourself and others see you in society e.g. having masculine or very feminine qualities
Going back to the situation of the babysitting. Most likely through female stereotypes of women being more caring and good with children; Sarah may have the most chance in getting the job based on stereotype.
Also with the construction job, we may base our hiring on our own judgement of how they look. Therefore, because of the stereotype saying that men are physically stronger than women, most likely Ben will be hired for the job.
Overall, Stereotypes can be said to be a cause to how we view ourselves as a male or female, or not just based on gender, but stereotype as a whole. For example, stereotype based on race, size, family background, etc.
Take a moment.
Imagine that you have a little sibling who is 5 years old. Your family does not have time to take care of your younger sibling. The only option here is to hire a babysitter.
This babysitter offers to cook, clean the house, and even tutor your sibling.
Most of you probably imagined a woman as a babysitter instead of a man
Why is it that we sometimes categorize a specific job for one gender?
Does it has something to do with society?
For example we often think of a babysitter, nurse, fashion designer, and hairstylist as a job for a women.
Double standards
Here is something interesting to think about regarding the daycare job.
Human Sciences
Economics: decision on whether to hire a male or female, considering how women have to go on maternity leave when they are pregnant. When they leave on maternity leave they still get paid, versus a guy who is more flexible, doesn't have to leave but continue working for the company. Who would be the better one to invest in considering these factors?
When two comparable things are judged by two different criteria
Areas of Knowledge
Oh wait! Here's something to think about.
During the description, the gender of the babysitter was not mention. YET....

Health Commissioner Nirav Shah says the final results could be years away and he won't wait for them.
Instead, he says state officials will talk to some of the researchers about their preliminary findings.

An earlier version of this story misstated the number of countries that have ratified the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. A total of 150 countries have done so.
At U.N., Obama to Push for New Nuclear Weapons Treaty
Thursday, September 24, 2009
President Obama will use the forum of the U.N. Security Council on Thursday to press his efforts to slow the spread of nuclear weapons and reduce global stockpiles.
Diplomats have finished negotiating a Security Council resolution that affirms many of the steps Obama plans to pursue as part of his vision for an eventual "world without nuclear weapons." They include a new worldwide treaty halting production of weapons-grade uranium and plutonium and the strengthening of the global Non-Proliferation Treaty, which has controlled the spread of nuclear weapons for decades but now is in danger of fraying.
The session of the Security Council, whose rotating chair is held this month by the United States, will occur alongside a two-day U.N. conference that will strongly push for a worldwide ban on nuclear tests, officials said. For the first time in a decade, a U.S. delegation will attend the biennial U.N. session on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which has been ratified by 150 countries but lacks the support of nine critical governments, including several declared and undeclared nuclear powers. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is leading the delegation, is expected to commit the U.S. government to trying to ratify the treaty, which was defeated in the U.S. Senate in 1999.
Obama's agenda marks a sharp departure from the policies of President George W. Bush, who was generally skeptical of the reliability and value of arms-control treaties. Obama has said the new approach is necessary because rogue states and terrorists are trying to acquire nuclear bombs, and the spread of nuclear technology could set off arms races in volatile regions such as the Middle East.
Jeffrey G. Lewis, a nonproliferation expert at the New America Foundation, said the U.N. resolution would represent significant international support for Obama's nonproliferation agenda, which was first outlined in a speech in Prague in April.
"It's great for the president to go and give the speech. It's a heck of a lot more powerful if the other countries with nuclear weapons . . . say, 'Okay, it's also the direction we wish to go,' " Lewis said.
But weeks of haggling over the resolution revealed persistent differences among U.N. members. China and Russia objected to explicit mentions of Iran as a state suspected of pursuing nuclear weapons, a charge the country denies, and North Korea, which has developed nuclear weapons in defiance of U.N. sanctions, diplomats said. Instead, the measure refers to them indirectly by citing references to U.N. sanctions against both countries, according to a draft of the text.
And countries belonging to the Non-Aligned Movement have objected to the resolution's insistence that nuclear violators be brought to the attention of the Security Council, diplomats said. Under current practice, countries that ignore their nonproliferation obligations are first referred to the International Atomic Energy Agency, which can then bring the matter before the council. White House officials said the language would give the Security Council more authority to enforce compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Critics say the Obama administration is placing too much hope in treaties that may not win sufficient ratifications for years and may not be fully verifiable.
"They are overselling this, overselling how likely it is to come into force, and how likely it is to be beneficial if it did," said Henry Sokolski, executive director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center.
Administration officials said they hope to secure a unanimous vote on the resolution. U.S. officials were also seeking the possibility of a "presidential resolution," diplomats said, which would be co-sponsored by all 15 members of the Security Council and would be symbolically stronger.
Gaining Senate ratification of the Test Ban Treaty will be critical to Obama's agenda, and diplomats including Ellen O. Tauscher, the undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, will use the U.N. conference to develop a diplomatic strategy to get other holdouts to soften their opposition, officials said.
"Other countries have said, if we ratify, they'll ratify," said a senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Such promises could make it easier to convince skeptics in the U.S. Senate that voting for the treaty is worthwhile, officials say.
Indonesia has pledged to ratify the treaty if the United States does so, and China could quickly follow suit, according to analysts. Other holdouts include Egypt, Israel, India, Pakistan, Iran and North Korea.
North Korea conducted a nuclear test this year and is considered unlikely to approve the pact anytime soon. Iran has signed the treaty but has not ratified it.
Supporters of the treaty say that by ratifying it, the United States could help isolate and increase pressure on countries that don't do so.
"We are not going to be able to credibly call on other states to take on additional nonproliferation responsibilities if we don't fulfill what other states consider U.S. disarmament commitments," said Darryl Kimball, director of the Arms Control Association.
Lynch reported from the United Nations. Staff writer Michael D. Shear at the United Nations contributed to this report.
