board game
In 2007 librarians and gamers Christopher Harris and Brian Mayer began an innovative program at the School Library System of Genesee Valley Boces, servicing the school libraries of twenty-two small, rural school districs in Western New York. The two utilized designer games, also known as Euro-games, chosen to "address specific local, state, and national curriculum standards across many content areas..." Growing from a small initial investment, the library game loan program met with success from its start and has grown since that time. The two authored "Libraries Got Game: Aligned Learning Through Modern Board Games" in 2010, describing the details of the project and its success as a teaching tool. This designer game is part of a donation from the School Library System from its inventory of games.

Coker got off to a good start in doubles as Byford and Grew won 8-4 at number 1 doubles. Danny Nash and Dustin Yager had a good win at 2 doubles winning 8-6 and Tim Morton and Tyson Thompson earned a 8-4 win at 3 doubles. With the 3-0 advantage, Coker came out hot in singles and got a quick victory through Tim Morton at number 3 singles. Morton controlled the match from the baseline and earned the Cobras a 6-2 6-2 win.
Matt Byford clinched the victory for Coker in his final CVAC conference match of his career. Byford won the first set 6-2 and closed out the second set 7-5 to give Coker an unassailable five wins. Byford ends his senior CVAC season with a .500 record in both singles and doubles as well as a current 8-2 run in singles and doubles. His double partner Duncan Grew was next to earn a win as he closed out a 7-6 6-0 win at number 1 singles. After a very tight first set, Grew raced through the second set with some aggressive hitting from the back. Danny Nash fought hard to earn a good win at number 4 singles. After winning the opening set 6-1, his dangerous opponent came back to force a final set tie-break. Nash came up with some tough volleys in the tie-break to earn the win.
Dustin Yager had the most one sided victory of the day as he crushed his opponent 6-0 6-0 at number 5 singles with some classy winners. Hunter Batts was the last remaining match on court and he battled well to win 7-6 6-3 at number 6 singles. The Cobras move to 4-12 on the season with the win and are 2-7 in CVAC play. The season ends with a non-conference match against nationally ranked

Me and my girl
Me and my girl
Hello all. I just joined the site a few days ago, but have been browsing the site for a while now. Just thought I would share a pic of my red-nose pitbull. She's 2 years old and looking to breed her soon. More pics to come later.
blover27 wrote:welcome *popcorn emoticon*
Why do you want to breed your dog?
She is very pretty but so is every dog on this board. There are quite a large number of pitbulls in shelters everywhere.
http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action ... %20Terrier
Have a look at that link. There are over 4,000 pits and pit mixes that are homeless in NJ alone.
Send me a PM if ya get a chance.
Conformation titles to prove shes standard, working titles to prove that she has heart (the CORE of this breed), health titles to prove she has no health problems or hereditary problems she may pass on to offspring (esp. hips, hearts, elbows), and temperament titles to prove she behaves like a proper pit bull ought to.
Mackavellio wrote:Titled as in?
Titled as in conformation or performance titles...Championship, Agility, Tracking, Schutzhund...etc.
First of all, welcome to the forum.
Secondly, please read up a little bit on dog breeding and the current APBT crisis we are facing now before you decide to breed your dog. Please check these websites out.
Breeding isn't a decision to make on a whim.
I'd also add that while I'm sure you have good intentions (your gal is probably a sweetheart and you probably want to breed her to make more sweet pit bulls, right?), the truth is that that is how EVERY pit bull is (or should be). There are literally thousands of homeless pit bulls that are just as good as your gal...why add to the problem? Unless you have an OUTSTANDING dog who will improve the breed (not just add more friendly pet pit bulls...improve means producing better structured, better working, more sound pit bulls), you shouldn't add to the overpopulation problem.
Welcome...I'm sure you'll learn a lot here! Don't be offended either...it's not personal or an attack on your little gal...it's about the dogs, and more specifically the huge overpopulation problem this breed is facing right now.

No controversy. It is just that we are very passionate about or dogs and bully breeds in general.
Pitbull type dogs and their onwers are going through a really tough time lately. Breed Specific Legislation is a reality in many areas of the country and broadening every day. One of the problems facing our breed of choice is the fact that they are so indiscriminately bred. Dog owners are breeding any any male with any female just to get a littler of pups that can bring in some cash. Too many pups are brought into this world and are more than likely dropped on the streets or dumped in shelters. Dogs without the proper sound temperment are often bred and produce pups with issues and that are often man biters. It is these people breeding irresponibley that are going to cost us all our beloved dogs.
Not one thing that has been said has been directed toward you and isn't meant to be taken as a personal attack. It is jsut that we all love are dogs and hope to be able to legally keep our dogs for years to come. Every day it looks less and less likely that BSL will be dissolved.

2012 – a year of irony for the media industry?
1. Rupert Murdoch revives the News of the World, but online-only.
2. Nick Davies loses his job at the Guardian, but joins the revived News of the World as part of its investigative team.
3. The Guardian poaches the "fake sheikh" Mazher Mahmood from the Sunday Times.
4. A trend develops for floundering local newspapers to be bought out by local entrepreneurs, returning control and vested interest to their communities.
5. The Leveson inquiry into the culture, practice and ethics of the UK press concludes nothing needs to be done about unethical and/or illegal media practices, as they are redundant because everyone is publicly revealing everything about themselves on social media sites like Facebook anyway.
6. Journalists are officially declared to be bloggers, thereby ending a perennial (and very tedious) debate.
7. The Guardian launches a paywall.
8. Richard Desmond, founder of Northern & Shell and owner of Express Newspapers is knighted in the New Year Honour list and becomes chair of the Press Complaints Commission (PCC).
9. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and is appointed National Security Adviser to the Obama administration.
10. Facebook buys the Daily Mail, as part of a number of strategic acquisitions of 'accordant' news outlets throughout the world.

Pope Francis started off Friday by hearing confessions from a half-dozen young pilgrims in a Rio de Janeiro park and met privately with a group of juvenile detainees, a priority of his ever since his days as archbishop of Buenos Aires.
A white tent was set up to receive the faithful for confession, with small makeshift confessionals off to the side. Five youths, chosen through a raffle, were selected for confession.
The pontiff then praised the elderly during the Catholic Church's festival of youth, saying grandparents are critical for passing on wisdom and religious heritage and are a "treasure to be preserved and strengthened."
Francis ended the day by presiding over one of the church's most solemn rites, a procession re-enacting Christ's crucifixion that was held on Rio's Copacabana beach.
Copacabana, which hosts Carnival, staged a wildly theatrical telling of the Way of the Cross, complete with huge stage sets, complex lighting, a full orchestra and a cast of hundreds acting out a modern version of the biblical story.
After the pope left Copacabana, a group of about 200 anti-government protesters arrived near the stage, the latest in hundreds of such demonstrations to hit Brazil since June.
Here's a gallery of images from the fifth day of the pope' visit to Brazil.

With the game tied early in the second half, No. 11 Louisville broke the Scarlet Knights with a 23-2 run on the way to a 68-48 win. Rutgers (12-9, 3-7) has dropped five straight games. See the video of Mike Rice's postgame presser here. The thoughts and quotes:
It feels like a broken record: Rutgers plays well for extended periods, then loses focus and gets buried. That's the story of this losing streak. The unforgiving schedule—this is the toughest stretch of the season—combined with a lack of on-court leadership and a sputtering offense have sucked the air from what was a feel-good story three weeks ago.
Telling stat: Rutgers grabbed 18 offensive rebounds, matching Louisville, yet scored just eight second-chance points. The Scarlet Knights are getting next-to-nothing offensively from their bigs. They're playing solid D, they're rebounding well enough, but tonight the four of them shot 4-for-14. Some of that has to do with the guards getting them the ball in the right spots, but 8 points on 18 offensive boards . . . that's solely on them.
Dane Miller has scored six points over the last four games. Tonight he played 18 minutes, took no shots and grabbed no rebounds. He's still at 989 career points.
Louisville's A-game is so good. The Cardinals have all the pieces to win a national championship. The crowd 5,862 made the most noise we've heard here all season when Wally Judge tied it up with that put-back dunk in the beginning of the second half. Then Louisville flipped a switch, and Rutgers went poof. See you in March.
Saturday's game against Georgetown is as close to a must-win as the Scarlet Knights have faced in the Mike Rice era. Rutgers has played Georgetown well in two games under Rice. Former Hoyas assistant Dave Cox handles the scout and knows John Thompson's system inside-out. The schedule gets easier after Saturday—Seton Hall, DePaul, Villanova and Providence come next—but Rutgers is running out of chances to turn the corner.
"You can't blink against this team. If you're inconsistent, which Rutgers is, which my team is, that's a bad sign because they're going to take advantage of it."
On the frontcourt's lack of production: "You have to finish our get fouled . . . They're not playing good enough right now, our bigs. There's an effort, but you have to take it to the next level."
What Rice told the players afterward: "It's a unique challenge that you have. You could feel helpless and hopeless, or you could get better every single day.' That's easier said than done."
On Dane Miller: "He's got to get involved in the ball game, he's got to put his stamp on the ball game, whether it's energy plays, rebounding. He hurt his ankle in practice. That limited him a little bit, but he has to get more involved."
On the bigs not scoring despite 18 offensive rebounds: "You've got to finish. There's no other way to put it. We've just got to finish. Gorgui Dieng did a good job of blocking shots or altering them . . . we've got to go dunk everything."
On the 23-2 run: "We as a team subconsciously let up. We turned the ball over. They got a lot of open shots. The consistency comes from just being mentally ready. We know we can play with everybody. We know the talent level is there, we know the coaching is there. It's just the mental aspect has to be there."
"We have to play a complete 40 minutes. Everybody has to be keyed in mentally. We can't have four players playing their hearts out and one player having mental lapses. The biggest thing is, we have to find a way to come together. We have to find a way to strengthen ourselves mentally and be more close-knit to where we know we've always got each other's back. Right now the thought is there but being keyed in to do it, that's where the lapse is."
"I told the guys at halftime, 'Look, it's their pace. They play everybody tough. They led Cincinnati for 35 minutes, they beat Pitt here.' I said, 'Don't be concerned, you'll have your run.' We made a couple of adjustments on our press and then the guys just showed some tremendous athletic ability."

Yesterday was the 41st Canadian General Election to elect members to the House of Commons of Canada in which the conservative government won what I would call a Koizumi-esque victory. The election saw a number of historical firsts, and may mark a turning point in Canadian political history.
The results for each of the main four parties were as follows:
- The centre-right Conservative Party won a clear victory, and it moved from its precarious position of a minority party leading the government to a majority government.
- The Liberal Party was wiped out and won the fewest seats in their history. Former academic and party leader Michael Ignatieff was defeated in his own electorial district.
- The separatist Bloc Québécois, which had always won a majority of seats in Quebec in every election since its founding in 1991, lost nearly all their seats, including the seat of their leader Gilles Duceppe.
- The leftist New Democratic Party saw a major surge in the last weeks of the campaign won the largest number of seats in their history, including a large majority of seats in Quebec.
Whereas previously elections in Canada were formed around the Conservatives and the Liberals, with Bloc Québécois as an interesting third-party spoiler, we now see a realignment between a genuine centre-right party (the Conservatives were created after the Progressive Conservative Party merged with another centre-right party in 2003) and the New Democrats taking their position as leading opposition party.
I call the victory of the conservatives "Koizumi-esque" because the election only came about the PM asked the Governor General to dissolve the house after the House of Commons passed a motion of non-confidence against the government, led by the Liberals. This non-confidence motion affirmed the charge of "contempt of parliament" found by the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs — the first time in the history of any Commonwealth nation that a government was found in contempt of parliament. Notwithstanding this charge, the popular vote was clear, and the Conservatives now have a solid majority from which to govern.

Market Basket workers rally, urged to 'shut it down' until ousted CEO returnsBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 21. 2014 3:00PM
TEWKSBURY, Mass. — Thousands of Market Basket employees rallied in support of their ousted CEO on Monday and were urged by their leaders to force the closure of stores in several states, including about 30 in New Hampshire, until the CEO returns.
"This is not going to end until you shut it down," Steve Paulenka, a movement leader from Londonderry, N.H., who was fired Sunday, told workers in a parking lot in a strip mall containing a Market Basket.
Many workers who should have been working instead were out in force at the rally to support the return of fired CEO Arthur T. Demoulas, who, many said, treated his workers like family members.
"We're going to shut it right down." said Dan Murray, a grocery clerk at the Market Basket in Seabrook, N.H.
His colleague, Allen Pelletier, the grocery manager there, said he also would heed the call.
"Oh yeah," Pelletier said. "I have the keys to the store; I can."
Both planned to stand outside the store rather than return to work.
Last week, the company warned workers that those who abandoned their jobs would lose them. A spokesman Monday didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment on the rally.
Paulenka said all 15 stores he visited Sunday had fewer customers than normal.
"Every store is down," he said. "It's only going to get worse."
Richard Pirelli, an assistant grocery manager at the Milford, N.H., store, said about 20 store employees came to the rally.
"We're a little sick today," Pirelli said.
He urged Market Basket customers to stay away from stores until the dispute is settled.
"We got to hurt 'em in the wallets," Pirelli said.

Sauk Village officials are working on an emergency plan and might provide residents with bottled water in response to a report that says the well water in the small south suburb is contaminated, the mayor said Tuesday night.
About 250 residents attended the Village Board's regular meeting, where Mayor Lewis Towers admitted, "The level of contamination is much higher than what we expected."
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency said this week the drinking water in Sauk Village is polluted with vinyl chloride, and it gave the town five days to alert its nearly 10,500 residents.
Officials said they don't know the source of the vinyl chloride. Exposure to it in drinking water over many years can increase the risk of cancer, the U.S. EPA said.
Towers said he and other municipal representatives went to the Illinois attorney general's office in Chicago on Tuesday afternoon to meet with the IEPA about its findings.
A special meeting called in response to the IEPA findings was held Tuesday afternoon, but was abruptly halted with no information for the dozens of residents who attended. It began with board members meeting behind closed doors, where they attempted to have a conference call with state officials regarding the water, Towers said.
Sauk Village trustees were advised not to hold the conference call during executive session, Towers said, and after 30 minutes they came out of closed session and declined to address about 45 residents who were waiting, causing some outbursts demanding answers.
Towers, who ran for office promising to improve the water supply, did talk to reporters. He cited a March referendum in which voters approved changing the water supply to Lake Michigan water — a process expected to take years and cost residents hundreds of dollars a year on their water bills. "We're still moving in that direction," he said.
Lake Michigan water won't be hooked up to the town until 2016, according to recent estimates. Several suburbs surrounding it already have Lake Michigan water.
Towers said residents "have every right to be upset, (but) we're doing everything we can."
Asked if he drank the water, Towers replied, "No, I don't," but added most residents drink bottled water.
Thirty-year Sauk Village resident Joe Ciechomski attended the afternoon meeting and said he suspects pollutants in the water supply may have contributed to his mother's kidney cancer. Cheval Alston, a 12-year village resident, said he believes there's a link between his daughter's fibroid tumor and the water.
"It's come out brown, it's come out black," Alston said of the water.
Residents have known of problems with the water for years. A 2009 state notice to residents warned of vinyl chloride contamination but said state and village officials were working on the issue.
James Lambert, who moved into town 13 years ago, said he never drank the water because of the way it tasted. But, he added, he didn't know it could harm his health.
"Honestly, my dog won't drink the water," he said.
Ray Gize, who moved to the village shortly after its incorporation in 1957, said the water was excellent at first but has declined in the recent decades. Gize said the dwindling population already is unable to cover the cost of maintaining the aging infrastructure and will struggle to pay to upgrade water lines tying into Lake Michigan water.
Gize said he relies exclusively on bottled water and doesn't use municipal water for even his lawn.
Alston said the health benefits outweigh the financial problems.
"I'd rather pay an extra thousand dollars than watch my family die," he said.
Tribune reporter Joseph Ryan contributed.

Editor: Well, here we are nearing another Thanksgiving season, and it seems like we just got through with the last one. In November, we celebrate a day in which we all focus on giving thanks to God for his blessings throughout the year.
Editor: Well, here we are nearing another Thanksgiving season, and it seems like we just got through with the last one. In November, we celebrate a day in which we all focus on giving thanks to God for his blessings throughout the year.
We live in a nation in which many people are wanting all they can get and will do about anything to get it instead of being thankful for what God has already blessed them with. And I'm including myself because there have been times when I complained about what I didn't have instead of being thankful for what I already have.
If you don't think you have been blessed, take a look in your closet at all the clothes you have. Just about every family now has more than one vehicle. Whether you live in a house, mobile home or modular home, whether you rent or own the place you live in, be thankful you have a place to live. How many times do you go out to eat?
Look at the furniture in your house. You have a couch and chairs to sit on so you won't have to sit on the floor. You have a kitchen table to eat at, although at my house the kitchen table is a place to put stuff because we eat in the living room most of the time. You have a bed to sleep in so you won't have to sleep on the floor.
Look in your pantry at all the food you have in your house. A lot of times it may not be what you would like to have, but you do have something to eat.
These days, if you have a job that pays the bills, even if it's not something you like doing, you should at least be thankful that you have a way to make a living, and you're not facing foreclosure on your home. And again, I'm preaching to myself, too.
With all the things we have to be thankful for, the greatest thing to be thankful for is Jesus Christ. Without him, we would have no hope.
This Thanksgiving season, let's remember all the things that we have in this life and really give thanks to God for giving us more than we deserve. And while we're at it, let's carry this thankfulness past this Thanksgiving and throughout the next year into next Thanksgiving. You'll be surprised at how much happier your life will be if you will just realize that all your blessings come from the Lord and thank and praise him for all he's given you.
There's a saying that I heard a long time ago, and it goes like this: Happiness is not getting what you want, it's wanting what you've got.

let me be the first to say
Flawless victory, Fatality.
I know I know, I'm going now.
Saddled with debt, American video game maker Midway has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Creator of the long-running Mortal Kombat said it is seeking protection from creditors after a change in ownership last year pushed forward the deadline for Midway to pay off its debts. The company said Chapter 11 protection will let the …
Flawless victory, Fatality.
I know I know, I'm going now.
Sorry :-(
Shame really, as Midway used to knock out some pretty kick arse arcade boxes.
Ah well...
Steven R
...be heard at the backcrupcy hearings
"Finish Him!"
Bet they were wishing that Redstone had decided to use a Friendship. Too bad Midway made them too fucking hard to do!
I would say that my friends and I wasted many afternoons playing MK, but we were Street Fighter fans. Sorry Midway.
"Midway stressed bankruptcy would affect only its US operations." - modulo ripping off the creditors, that is
...I'm not too surprised.
Did anyone else notice that Sonya Blade's boobs got progressively bigger as the game was released on newer platforms?
Another Ponzi bites the dust?
"The company said Chapter 11 protection will let the company conduct its business as usual (of losing money annually for nearly a decade)." .... Seems like the best of reasons to have the boss detained and transferred to a place of residential security for a period of training evaluation and reprogramming.
Although if he were to use the Idiot Defence .......Fools and their money are easily parted and deserve to be so relieved [aka the Bankers Ignorance Defence] .... he'll still be munching caviar rather than sipping gruel. And it is terribly in vogue this season and proving to be very attactive/a big unexpected hit.
IT's a Funny Old World whenever you get right down to ITs Base IQs ....... and a Bit of a Swamp with all kinds of strange and weird beings lurking in the shadows and murky depths.
That is all
If you go titsup, then all the companies that you owe $ to cannot cary that loss forward year on year.
Very interesting imagine evading tax on $20billion as a 'writedown' whilst also charging 'interest' on the capital amount lent that may realise in 2025.
They are all as guilty as each other.
after they made Epic release UT3 a year before it was anywhere near finished i'm not surprised and nor do I have any sympathy for them. Money grabbing publishers like this deserve to go under for forcing releases of unfinished games.
Punch, roundhouse, roundhouse, punch, kick... Awe sh@t didn't work on those pesky creditors
I guess this means no MK8 on the PS3/xBox360.
Shame, they made some decent film & TV tie-ins.
Oh, hang on, no, I'm thinking of something else...
Oh the memories!
" Shame, they made some decent film & TV tie-ins.
Oh, hang on, no, I'm thinking of something else..."
Street Fighter perhaps??? Erm..... maybe not
Mines the one with a pirated copy of The Legend of Chun Li in the pocket.... Lana Lang playing Chun Li... who'd have thunk it
...to play the awesome-looking Street Fighter 4. That's how it's done, lads.
Take some money and shuffle it around to create a big pile of "on paper" money. To win the game run off with the real money and stiff some one else with the worthless paper.

Survival at UNH: A bookbag won't save you
February 27. 2013 6:08PM
As the police chief at the University of New Hampshire, Paul Dean must protect and control a rambunctious student body on a sprawling campus while working within the college's politically correct bureaucracy. The challenges are endless. Some are trivial, some are terrifying.
Last week (Feb. 20), he spoke to more than 100 faculty and staff about the topic that causes nightmares at every school: "Surviving a Campus Active Shooter Event."
As promoted, his seminar was to feature "important safety information on how to respond if an active shooter is on campus ... (and) specific information to improve your safety during a shooting event." The chief clearly understood that his worried community needed practical advice.
In the lecture, Dean said potential victims of a campus shooting have three options: fleeing, hiding or "taking out" the attacker. "Find a way to protect yourself and do what you can to survive," he explained. He urged the campus community to feel comfortable with the final option: forcing a shooter to stop.
That's easier said than done, of course. And it's all but impossible at the state's colleges. UNH's restriction on personal protection extends far past guns. It includes all weapons and even prohibits pepper spray. So when dubious staffers asked how to fight back, Dean could only propose that a counter-attacker might wield a book or a backpack to do "whatever it takes."
One physics professor, perhaps aware that polyester won't stop a bullet, criticized his answers and asked, "What are we supposed to do?" Dean called that an individual decision.
The chief was right. In a crisis, you may be on your own. That is one reason why the Second Amendment must be defended.
Ironically, last year Dean opposed legislation designed to end the University System of New Hampshire's sweeping prohibition of guns. He told a committee that the bill was misguided because vulnerable students should not have to fear gun violence. Now, with that reform proposal dead, he is admitting that his gun-free campus cannot be an island of safety in a dangerous world.
The chief did not intend to concede that a ban on guns actually increases his university's vulnerability to a madman. However, he did. We hope his audience listened closely.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth.

The Many Selves of Pioneering Feminist Artist Eleanor Antin
Artsy Editorial
Image: 22.9 x 30.5 cm Paper: 27.9 x 35.6 cm
Image rights: Copyright the Artist. Courtesy Richard Saltoun Gallery.
The core of Eleanor Antin's performances, films, photographs, written texts, and installations is her wide cast of alter egos from both historic and contemporary times, who explore issues of age, race, sex, and class. As critic Kim Levin aptly said, by "impersonating the past, Antin personalizes the issues and dilemmas of the present." Antin began creating Conceptual art in the 1960s, and in the '70s became widely known for using then-unconventional narrative forms in her artwork, such as autobiography and impersonation, always with a transgressive, deadpan humor. One of her most famous characters was Eleanora Antinova—an imagined forgotten black ballerina from Sergei Diaghilev's productions—as whom she has written a fictitious memoir and made films, drawings, and performances.
American, b. 1935, Bronx, New York, based in New York, New York

(Reuters) - The Detroit Red Wings revealed plans for a new home on Sunday as part of a re-energizing of the Motor City's downtown core.
Olympia Development of Michigan announced in a report on the National Hockey League's website (NHL.com) plans to transform dozens of underutilized blocks between downtown and midtown Detroit into a sports and entertainment district.
The plans call for a new arena to replace the aging Joe Louis Arena that has been the Wings' home since 1979.
"It's always been my dream to see a vibrant and energized downtown Detroit," Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch said in a statement on NHL.com.
"I want people to look at Detroit's new sports and entertainment district and see what I see: the potential for something very special.
"I couldn't be more excited and proud to bring this vision to life."
The entire project has been estimated at costing $650 million.
Groundbreaking for the new arena is scheduled for later this year along with development of new, mixed-use neighborhoods in the district.

'Best $20 I Ever Spent'
Bargain tools can change and challenge the way we work with wood.
By Robert W. Lang
Pages: 68-71
From the August 2006 issue #156
Buy this issue now
Woodworking magazines present a distorted view of reality. We show ourselves working on projects using the latest and greatest tools, and it's easy to start thinking you really need this stuff to do good work. Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of fun to use a $600 ultra-precise plunge router to cut mortises and it's very cool to take a shaving you can see through with a high-end handplane. But many of the tools that make a difference in the way we work, the ones we wouldn't want to live without, are often some cheap, funky-looking things we've had for years and picked up for a song.

Ah, stern, cold man
And all hours long, the town
By the river
Clouds are pushing in grey reluctance slowly northward to you, The
Cuckoo and the coo-doves ceaseless calling, The
Darkness comes out of the earth
Far-off the lily-statues stand white-ranked in the garden at home
Frost has settled down upon the trees, The
Glimmer of the limes, sun-heavy, sleeping, The
Houses fade in a melt of mist, The
How different, in the middle of snows, the great school rises red!
How gorgeous that shock of red lilies, and larkspur cleaving
How have I wandered here to this vaulted room
In another country, black poplars shake themselves over a pond
In the choir the boys are singing the hymn
Into the shadow-white chamber silts the white
I, the man with the red scarf
Last night a thief came to me
Love has crept out of her sealéd heart
Many roses in the wind
New red houses spring like plants, The
Night rain, dripping unseen, The
On that day
O stiffly shapen houses that change not
Returning, I find her just the same
Rigid sleeps the house in darkness, I alone
Round the house were lilacs and strawberries
Sad as he sits on the white sea-stone
She sits on the recreation ground
Since this is the last night I keep you home
Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me
Sun sets out the autumn crocuses, The
Trees in trouble because of autumn, The
Waving slowly before me, pushed into the dark
We have shut the doors behind us, and the velvet flowers of night
When into the night the yellow light is roused like dust above the towns
When I woke, the lake-lights were quivering on the wall
When the wind blows her veil
Where the minnows trace
Who do you think stands watching
You, if you were sensible
You promised to send me some violets. Did you forget?

This book presents the first detailed and comprehensive study of information highlighting in advanced learner language, echoing the increasing interest in questions of near-native competence in SLA research and contributing to the description of advanced interlanguages. It examines the production and comprehension of specific means of information highlighting in English by native speakers and German learners of English as a foreign language, presenting triangulated experimental and learner corpus data as corroborating evidence. The study focuses on learnersa use of discourse-pragmatically motivated variations of the basic word order such as inversion, preposing, and it- and wh-clefts, an underexplored field in SLA research to date.The book also provides a critical re-assessment of the study of pragmatics within SLA. It has largely been neglected to date that L2 pragmatic knowledge includes more than the sociopragmatic and pragmalinguistic abilities for understanding and performing speech acts. Thus, the book argues for an extension of the scope of inquiry in interlanguage pragmatics beyond the cross-cultural investigation of speech acts. It also discusses pedagogical implications for foreign language teaching and will be of interest to applied linguists and SLA researchers, language teachers and curriculum designers.The German subcorpus consists of 235, 190 words and includes 439 essays produced by students from several universities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. ... of mostly argumentative essay writing by British university students and grammar school students taking their A-levels, as well as ... participant age and educational background (graduating high-school and undergraduate university students).

MORAGA -- Two women have filed claims against the Moraga School District and three former district administrators, saying the employees' repeated inaction regarding abuse allegations against a former teacher allowed that teacher to molest the pair over four school years in the 1990s.
"Jane Does" No. 1 and 2 are asking for more than $15 million each, claiming the actions of the district, retired Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School principal Bill Walters, retired assistant principal Paul Simonin and retired superintendent John Cooley allowed them to be sexually abused by former Joaquin Moraga teacher Daniel Witters.
Shortly after the Jane Does came forward in 1996 with allegations of significant sexual abuse, including multiple acts of oral copulation, Witters was placed on administrative leave. He killed himself days later. He never faced charges over the girls' allegations, and Moraga police stopped their investigation upon Witters' death.
Their claims follow an earlier one filed in August by Kristen Cunnane, a 30-year-old assistant Cal swim coach, against the same defendants, alleging her abuse by Witters and another Joaquin Moraga teacher happened because of ignored warnings about Witters and a lax environment. Cunnane's claim was denied Aug. 13, and she filed a lawsuit Sept. 25, asking for unspecified damages.
The Jane Does said they only learned about the administrators' "despicable" behavior and the "cover-up" after reading
this newspaper's investigative report earlier this year, centered on Cunnane's experiences.
Moraga Superintendent Bruce Burns did not immediately return an email request for comment Tuesday on the joint claims.
This newspaper's investigation revealed that a third teenage girl, whose name was redacted in documents, contacted Walters in 1994 to report she had been molested by Witters while attending Joaquin Moraga in 1990. That girl wrote in a letter to Walters that she was coming forward to prevent the science teacher from harming other girls.
Instead of passing the allegations on to law enforcement, as required by law, Walters sat on the complaint for two months before showing Witters the letter -- revealing the girl's identity to her alleged abuser. Witters denied the abuse allegations.
A district memo says Walters shared the girl's letter with vice principal Simonin, and the two administrators decided "not to pursue the issue," according to district records.
From 1994 to 1996, district officials received numerous other complaints of inappropriate behavior involving Witters, with few repercussions.
"After Witters committed suicide, (the) Moraga School District undertook a campaign to conceal and cover up its knowledge concerning past complaints made against Witters," both claims allege. "Moraga officials lied to the police, to the media, to the parents of its students, to its students, to the public and to the Claimant, all in an effort to try and convince everyone that the district had no prior knowledge of Witters' misconduct.
"District administrators, officials, and employees chose to protect their own jobs and reputations rather than protect young girls from a predator."
Jane Doe No. 1's claim alleges district officials told her and her parents the district "had never received a prior complaint about Witters and that it had acted swiftly and appropriately."
Jane Doe No. 1 claims she was sexually abused starting during the 1993-94 school year, when she was 13, and into the 1995-96 school year, from eighth grade into high school. Jane Doe No. 2 claims she was sexually abused during the 1995-96 and 1996-97 school years, while she was in seventh and eighth grades (ages 12 to 14). Witters was in his 30s at the time and both Jane Does claim the abuse occurred in his classroom and elsewhere.
"We're not talking about a tap on the butt or a rub on the shoulder," said David Ring, a Los Angeles-based attorney representing the Jane Does. "We're talking extremely serious sexual abuse."
He said his clients, who wish to remain anonymous, have endured years of pain from the abuse, and that the newspaper report caught them off guard.
"Their reaction ... ranged from shock to dismay to anger," Ring said. "They couldn't believe it. Their mindsets always have been Witters did this to us ... and tried to deal with that issue. So when they found out all of the other complaints the district received, it was a huge setback for them because they realized it should have never happened to them because the guy shouldn't have been teaching at the school.
"They want the school district to come clean and acknowledge to the public exactly what happened in the mid-90s and for the current regime to make it right," he said. "And, frankly, they'd like an apology."

Bonnie Kristian, the blogger in chief at Young Americans for Liberty, has recently started a new website at BonnieKristian.com, which she describes thusly:
This blog's primary purpose is to be a sort of political advice column. Like Dear Abby, but for politics. It's a new idea which may prove smart quickly, slowly, or not at all, so expect to see a varying proportion of posts which don't match the advice column format. If you have a question you'd like addressed – about current events, political philosophy, civic history, or some other politics-related topic – use the contact form at the bottom of the page to submit it!
Taking Miss Kristian up on her offer, I submitted the following question:
Q. My question is two-fold (er- sort of two-and-a-half fold): I understand that it's a little early, but 1. Who do you think the GOP will nominate in 2012, and 2. who do you think the GOP *should* nominate in 2012 (and 2b. what do you think of Republican Governor Gary Johnson)? — Wes from Nashville, TN.
You can read her answer here.
What do you think?
Meanwhile, do feel free to answer my "sort of two-and-a-half fold" question in the comment thread below...

In Florida, we have some of the best fishing in the world all year long.
In Florida, we have some of the best fishing in the world all year long.
Red snapper season, which just ended, is a highly anticipated time, but more than fish interest anglers. It is time for recreational scallop season in the Gulf, and though we must travel east to go scalloping, it is a beneficial experience.
There is still plenty of time to take advantage of scalloping season, but the last day for recreational harvesting is Sept. 24. Harvesting areas are in state waters from the Mexico Beach Canal in Bay County to the Pasco-Hernando county line.
Bay scallops are bottom-dwellers that live in shallow waters, near the shore along Florida�s Gulf Coast. These bivalves � typically found in 4-8 feet of water in seagrass beds � once inhabited most of the Florida Gulf Coast, but now can only be found in isolated distinct populations. This is due to the decline in their once historic habitat areas.
You can recognize bay scallops by their electric blue eyes and ability to swim, propelling themselves backward by opening and closing their shells quickly.
One piece of equipment required for your scalloping adventure is a salt-water fishing license for Florida residents between ages 16 and 65, and all non-residents over 16.
Other necessities are a swim mask, snorkel, small mesh bag, divers-down flag (required by law), and a boat or kayak.
The best scalloping occurs in the 4- to 10-foot deep area, where you can anchor your shallow-draft boat. Boating is more productive than scalloping by shore.
Look for scallops near the borderline areas of sea grasses, and collect them in the mesh bag since they can pinch. Once on the boat, scallops should be immediately placed on ice in a cooler.
Harvesting bag limits per person are 2 gallons whole for bay scallops in shell or 1 pint of bay scallop meat. A maximum of 10 gallons of whole scallops in shell or a half-gallon bay scallop meat per vessel and harvesting is only permitted by hand; landing or dip net use only.
See myfwc.com for more information on harvesting regulations for scallops and other fisheries or www.flseagrant.org for additional helpful hints and recipes about bay scallops.

Forum Post: Irish Bankers Bragging about Bailout
Posted 5 years ago on June 26, 2013, 11:33 a.m. EST by shoozTroll
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
"Once again, we have more embarrassing conversations between bankers ...
The Irish Independent, a Dublin-based newspaper, has uncovered tapes of an internal phone conversation from September 2008 between two executives at Anglo Irish Bank during its bailout deal and they sound pretty scandalous. The Irish Independent points out that the recordings show they misled the Central Bank.
The executives from the recording have been identified as John Bowe (head of the bank's capital markets) and Peter Fitzgerald (director of retail banking).
However, Bowe "categorically denied" that he misled the Central Bank and Fitzgerald, who wasn't involved in discussions with regulators, said he was unaware of any intention to mislead, the report said.
Either way, the newly revealed recordings are still embarrassing.
Here are some partial excerpts (via the Irish Independent):
The two bankers begin their conversation jokingly comparing themselves to being able to walk on water and drink beer out of both hands."

Inuit community and WWF successfully curb polar bear conflict
"In recent years, the community of Arviat has reported more and more polar bears near the town," said Ed Murphy, Senior Administrative Officer for Arviat. "Reasons for this are unclear, but likely include climate related changes in sea ice habitat patterns forcing more bears to stay along the coast, and increases in Arviat's population creating more bear attractants, including garbage at the dump. The community is increasingly concerned with the threat polar bears pose not just to property, but also to children and sled dogs."
The project allowed the Hamlet to hire a polar bear monitor to patrol and discourage bears from entering the community from October through December, the three-month period with the most bear activity in the region. The Hamlet also provided steel bins for storing food, and installed electric deterrent fences around several of the community's dog team pens.
"This project directly protects the community and the polar bear population, as well as increases community awareness of the situation," said Bob Leonard, Mayor of Arviat. With ongoing support, we can hopefully continue to reduce conflict between people and polar bears in Arviat, and promote the harmonious and mutually dependent relationship with nature that the people of Arviat value so highly."
The WWF-Hamlet of Arviat Human-Polar Bear Conflict Reduction Project was generously supported by donations from Coca-Cola Canada and other funders, as well as the Government of Nunavut.
About the Hamlet of Arviat
Arviat is a community of approximately 2,800 people, located on the west coast of Hudson's Bay, 90 kilometres north of the treeline and about 250 kilometres north of Churchill, Manitoba, The second-largest community in Nunavut, Arviat has strong ties to the land, and its predominantly Inuit population has retained much of their traditional culture and language. www.arviat.ca

Charles Arlinghaus: A budget crisis in need of leadership
I believe that the unique joys of another special legislative session loom on the horizon. The purpose of the session will be the byzantine creature known as the Medicaid enhancement tax, but we might just as easily call it the current budget crisis. Some legislators deny the existence of a crisis. They're wrong.
The current crisis has come about as the courts have ruled a weird tax scheme of ours unconstitutional and placed in jeopardy almost $400 million the state is counting on for its budget. Solutions are swirling in Concord and some sort of grand alliance may yet come together. A solution must be reached by June 5 or a special session will be required. In the meantime, the governor's delay in taking simple steps of preparation is inexplicable.
For two decades, the state relied on a perfectly legal scam known as the Medicaid enhancement tax to balance its budget. The shell game — referred to by critics on the right and left alike as Mediscam — was a clever shifting of money back and forth whereby hospitals got back every penny of a sham tax they paid, but we briefly laundered it through state coffers so it could be "enhanced" with federal Medicaid reimbursement dollars diverted to other uses.
The hospitals were happy to help out so long as the odd scheme didn't cost them any money. Changes made in 2009 created winners and losers among hospitals and were a sign of things to come. Then in 2011 a tax that started as a net zero, simply an accounting favor the hospitals were doing the state as good corporate citizens, suddenly became a real tax with a vengeance.The final budget saw the hospitals take a $248 million hit, a far cry from net zero. Understandably, they started looking into the details of the scheme. They sued and a judge agreed that the tax was discriminatory. Some budget writers believe the state will win an appeal. Fewer lawyers than budget writers believe such a thing.The current ruling on the field is that the $185 million we hope to collect in October is unconstitutional. If so, hospitals will also be entitled to get back the money they paid last October. If the tax is taken off the table, then some of the uncompensated care program it pays for probably goes away too, but over the biennium the net budget problem is in excess of $300 million.
There are plans to fix it. Rep. David Hess, author of one of the plans, sums it up best when he quotes Churchill to describe the current discussion as not the end or even the beginning of the end: "But perhaps it is the end of the beginning."
The Legislature has difficulty reaching an agreement with Democrats on one side and Republicans on the other. This situation is further complicated because a seat at the table is occupied by the hospitals. If they don't agree to drop their lawsuit, they sit in the driver's seat with the $300 million budget problem riding shotgun.
Senate President Chuck Morse has proposed slowly reducing the tax by a quarter percent a year for five years (that would phase it out over 22 years if the reductions continued) and increasing payments that hospitals receive. Changes proposed in the House by Hess, among others, would maintain the revenue stream by addressing the court's administrative concerns.
To become law, a settlement would have to be negotiated between the House and Senate, between Republicans and Democrats, and between the Legislature and the hospitals. That's a big task to accomplish in two weeks. In all likelihood, a solution will be complicated, will need time to be studied and fully explained to 424 legislators, and will almost certainly require a special session this summer rather than be cobbled together quickly now.
The one thing that is clear is that there is a gathering budget storm. Under our laws, when the governor determines that revenues will be insufficient to maintain a balanced budget, she is empowered to make reductions in expenditures. Every governor in recent memory has done this by executive order — in most cases multiple times. The MET problem has been there for more than a month. No solution is going to be budget neutral. With six weeks left in the fiscal year, time is running out to make reductions in the current fiscal year. With the legislature set to go home June 5, the time to get them to act on changes that need legislative approval is now. Leadership requires action.
Charles Arlinghaus is president of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, a free-market think tank in Concord.

Will the extremely extravagant special effects prove sufficient to sustain the picture? Surely they will, this time. Still, there's a sense of fatigue in the scenes that don't involve high-tensile webs and high-tension suspense.

Spider-Man 3 has terrific moments, but after the danger and majesty and romantic brio of "Spider-Man 2," those adrenalized rooftop ballets feel, more than ever, like sequences.
Solidly entertaining and possesses dazzling special effects, but it falls short of the near-perfection of the Spidey sequel.
The wow factor works overtime with state-of-the-art effects sequences that often are as beautiful as they are astonishing.

OK for kids 11+
Kids will be dazzled, but the story falls short of No. 2.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that, like its two predecessors, this comic book-based movie features lots of action and superhero-style violence. In this installment, a mysterious black goo makes Peter/Spider-Man significantly more aggressive, arrogant, and combative -- even toward his friends -- which could confuse little kids who have clear ideas about their hero. His negative behavior culminates in him physically harming two people he loves (naturally, he redeems himself by the end). Thanks to the enormous amount of Spidey merchandise and marketing, younger children may want to see this movie -- but know that the action might be too intense for the early-elementary set. (Spoiler Alert: Two characters die during the climactic battle sequence.)
Messages: Several characters realize that it's never too late to stop making self-destructive choices. Strong themes of redemption and loyalty. Only one character stays selfish throughout the entire film.
Role models: A mysterious black goo makes Peter/Spidey significantly more aggressive, arrogant, and combative -- even toward his friends. His negative behavior culminates in him physically harming two people he loves, but he ultimately redeems himself. Two more villains are introduced: Daily Bugle photographer Eddie Brock transforms into Venom, and prison escapee Flint Marko morphs into the Sandman. But Sandman, unlike Venom, has a heart -- he just wants money to save his sick little girl.
Violence: Long, nail-biting sequences of superhero action/violence, including Harry attacking Spider-Man in an impressive airborne fight. Blood is visible on a wounded character's shirt and face and also on a dagger. A couple of major characters are killed, and someone's face is disfigured in a fight. Peter shockingly strikes someone he loves.
Sex: Various characters kiss, and there's one romantic dance between Peter and Gwen.
Language: Expletives like "damn" and "ass." A few taunts like "chump" and "nerd."
Consumerism: Tie-in to vast quantities of related merchandise.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Harry drinks on several occasions and at one point chugs hard liquor. Peter is served champagne at a restaurant. Diners drink alcohol at a jazz lounge.

Northeast Missouri Beef Producers Honor Stock Buyers
The first performance tested bull sales were held in Columbia at the University of Missouri Trowbridge Center on the agriculture campus.
HANNIBAL, Mo. -- As tested beef breeding stock continues to gain in value, producers in Northeast Missouri gathered to honor their stock buyers last spring.
After a record setting sale, the NEMO Beef Cattle Improvement Association bought dinner for their buyers.
The 45 performance tested bulls sold for an average $3,546 in 2011. "That's about $1,000 more than last year," said Al Kennett, an MU Extension regional livestock specialist in New London.
The on-farm tests are supervised by MU Extension livestock specialists when bulls are weighed at weaning and at the end of the feeding test. Sires were evaluated on performance for weight and average daily gain. The bulls are also graded on soundness as well as conformation. All have been in the Missouri On-Farm Testing Program or another certified test. State extension livestock specialists crossed the state to grade all bulls entered in the program.
