BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research 2013 Market Outlook: 10 Macro Investment Trends for the Year Ahead
Firm Releases Annual Year Ahead Outlook
BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research today released its 2013 Year Ahead market outlook, saying that a cloud of uncertainty is likely to overhang the markets through a painful and protracted resolution of the U.S. fiscal cliff. However, global economic growth is expected to pick up steam in the second half of the year, ultimately surprising on the upside and pushing the S&P 500 Index to 1600, a new all-time high.
At the annual BofA Merrill Lynch 2013 Year Ahead outlook news conferences in New York and London, analysts from the top-ranked global research firm said the year ahead could be lucky 13 for cautious, savvy investors. The beginning stages of a great rotation in the markets create opportunities for cyclical and undervalued asset classes poised for recovery.
This time last year, the risks to global growth were to the downside as the European debt crisis, China hard landing fears and the U.S. fiscal cliff clouded the economic outlook, said Michael Hartnett, Chief Investment Strategist at BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research. For 2013, we expect the resolution of fiscal policy issues, another year of accommodative central bank actions and improving corporate profits to skew the macro and market risks to the upside.
BofA Merrill Lynch analysts outlined 10 macro calls on which they are basing their 2013 outlook. Detailed highlights of BofA Merrill Lynch 2013 Year Ahead outlook report can be found here, at http://newsroom.bankofamerica.com/press-kit/bofa-merrill-lynch-global-research-2013-year-ahead-report.
The global economy grows 3.2 percent, gradually improving through the year, led by China and the U.S. Resolution of the fiscal cliff in the U.S. and successful negotiation of aid to Spain, combined with high liquidity and low commodity prices, should support a gradual improvement in global business and consumer spending through the year. By the end of 2013, growth is expected to rise to 2.5 percent in the U.S. and 8 percent in China.
Fiscal austerity in the U.S. and Europe offsets monetary stimulus from central banks. Monetary easing may not be enough to offset fiscal contraction in the first part of the year. Fiscal austerity in Europe and in the U.S. the latter by as much as 2 percent of GDP is likely to be a drag on growth.
The U.S. housing recovery builds momentum. U.S. home prices are expected to rise another 3 percent in 2013, adding to the 5 percent gain in 2012. Housing starts could increase by more than 25 percent and a 3.5 percent average annual appreciation over the next 10 years should stimulate jobs to construction and related sectors such as furniture, building materials and financials.
Flares, not wildfires in Europe. With support to Spain from the European Central Bank, the European economy should stabilize as the year progresses. Despite a series of episodic flare-ups of the ongoing crisis in Europe, the big tail risk of a Eurozone breakup has likely passed.
China should lead emerging market growth. Against a backdrop of subdued growth in developed markets, GDP growth in emerging markets is expected to recover to 5.2 percent, led by the BRIC economies, particularly China. However, rising inflation could leave emerging market policymakers with little room to ease.
Global equities should be the best-performing asset class. Powerful policy support, reasonable valuations and receding tail risks should help make global equities the best performing asset class in 2013. The U.S., European and Asian equity markets could see gains of 10 percent to 16 percent next year, with the MSCI AWI reaching 370 and the S&P 500 Index reaching a new all-time high of 1600 by year-end.
Interest rates and currencies. The U.S. dollar and Euro could rally on the global recovery and greater fiscal clarity, pushing the yen lower and emerging market currencies higher.
High yield and emerging market bonds should outperform corporate credit. On the heels of record-low yields in 2012, U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds are likely to offer scant returns of 1.6 percent in the year ahead, but high yield bonds could return up to 7.0 percent and emerging market bonds could return 10.1 percent.
Fixed Income: Government bond yields should rise modestly. G3 central banks are expected to maintain their zero-interest rate policies. Government bond yields in the U.S., U.K. and Germany are expected to rise modestly to 2.0, 2.5 and 1.5 percent, respectively, translating into total returns for major government bond markets of roughly -3 percent to +2 percent.
Commodities: Gold could rise to $2,000 per ounce. Large-scale policy easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank positions gold as a useful hedge against global macro and inflation risks.
The Research Investment Committee of BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research provides 10 Investment Ideas for 2013, including recommendations for investors to approach the markets tactically.

Then one of their six grandchildren Jilly came running into the room. "Grandpa! Grandpa!" Jilly shouted. "What?" said the old timer. "At midnight can we got to Annunciation?" asked Jilly. "Pleeeeeease." "Sure," said the old timer. —Ya!!!" yelled Jilly. "But you are aware that the teachers are witches, the children from 1st-4th are ghosts. The children from 5th - 8th are zombies, their parents are mummies and their pets are possessed and they come to haunt the school," the old timer said. "I know I'm not a dummy," Jilly said. Well, now I know why Annunciation is the scariest school," said the wife.

The Key to Peace?
Ten years ago, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was named his deceased father's successor. As a result of its alliance with Iran and its excellent relations with both Hezbollah and Hamas, his country has enormous potential to exert both a positive and a negative influence in the region. Which of these two options will Assad choose in the search for peace in the region? Rainer Sollich investigates
Generations of Middle East experts have asked themselves the same question: is Syria the key to peace in the Middle East or is it a stumbling block?
Both possibilities are closely linked. Through its relations with Iran, the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon, and radical Hamas in Gaza, the regime in Damascus has enormous potential to influence the situation in the region – both positively and negatively.
President Bashar al-Assad has shown himself to be quite as flexible as his father, whose job he inherited on 17 July 2000.
Under his rule, Syrian state media has remained on a strictly anti-Israeli course: the unpopular neighbour is portrayed as the eternal aggressor and, in typical propaganda style, as the "Zionist entity". The streets of Damascus are full of propaganda posters showing Assad side by side with Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah or Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Moreover, not only the leadership of Hamas but also a few other radical Palestinian organizations are based in the Syrian metropolis.
Interested in peace?
At the same time, Assad has repeatedly sent out signals indicating an interest in a peace settlement for the region and in improved relations with Western countries. In that way, he is different from his partners in Iran, Hamas or Hezbollah, who loudly agitate for the destruction of Israel.
When Assad criticizes Israel, he tends to portray himself as a peace-loving politician who, sadly, has no like-minded Israeli counterpart.
Speaking to the BBC in mid-June after the Israeli Marine's deadly attack on the Gaza flotilla, Assad said: "The attack destroyed any chance for peace in the near future. Above all, it showed that this Israeli government is once again a pyromaniac government. You cannot achieve peace with such a government."
Nevertheless, Assad himself has in the past tried to do just that. Like his father before him, he agreed to indirect peace talks with Israel. These talks, which were mediated by Turkey, have been on hold since the Gaza War in 2008. Another round seems unlikely in the near future – especially in light of the currently poor relations between Turkey and Israel. Experts consider it more likely that a new war will break out in the region.
These fears are fed not only by developments in and around Gaza, tension on the border between Lebanon and Israel is also increasing. The Israeli air force regularly overflies Lebanese territory. For its part, the Hezbollah militia has built up an arsenal of an estimated 40,000 rockets since the 2006 Lebanon War with the help of Syria and Iran and in the shade of international monitors.
Moreover, the conflict surrounding the Iranian nuclear programme leads many observers in the region to believe in the prospect of an upcoming war.
No longer in the "Axis of Evil"
Many European observers believe that contrary to the popular view in Israel, Syria has no interest in a new escalation in the region. While the country was considered part of the "Axis of Evil" by former US President George W. Bush, today, Syria's leader is practically being courted by Western politicians.
Indeed, Syria has a number of interests that would benefit from taking the path of peace and working together with Western states. Syria wants to reform its ailing economy and needs to rid itself of American sanctions to do so.
Above all, Syria wants to get back the Golan Heights, which it lost to Israel in 1967 and which Israel later annexed. For the regime, it is a question of prestige. "No Syrian president can give up the Golan Heights. The Golan Heights are part of Syria," explains Samir al-Aita, editor-in-chief of the Arabic edition of Le Monde Diplomatique.
An alliance of convenience?
This is why German Middle East expert Volker Perthes also believes that it must be possible to ease Syria out of its one-sided clinch with Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah. The director of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP), says that Syria and Hezbollah are allies out of necessity: Syria needs Hezbollah to keep up the credibility of its threats to Israel, and Hezbollah is using Syria for financial and material support – including arms deliveries via Syrian territory.
"That would all change were Syria to actually sign a peace deal with Israel and regain its occupied territory," says Perthes. "That is relatively clear. And Beirut and the Hezbollah know it. Syria's relationship to Hezbollah would change because they would no longer have the same strategic interests."
But could Assad really take the risk – both in terms of domestic and foreign policy – of renouncing its allegiance to Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, in order to reclaim the Golan Heights and enjoy better relations with the West? Any attempts to make that happen have failed thus far.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became aware of that last February, when she asked Assad – a little too publically as it turned out – to reconsider his close strategic alliance with Iran.
"We don't need anyone to teach us lessons about the Middle East or lecture us in our own history," Assad confidently replied. "We take care of our own affairs and look after our own interests."
At the end of the day, the question as to whether Syria is a key to peace or a stumbling block on the road there, is an open one. And Bashar al-Assad seems bent on keeping it that way.

Between a debatable replay call, special teams lapses and gutty efforts, it would be easy to understand if Steve Sarkisian and No. 16 Washington let what happened last weekend at Stanford linger.
There's no time with No. 2 Oregon visiting Seattle on Saturday.
"It's such a drastic change in philosophy when you go from a Stanford to an Oregon, we don't have too long to dwell on Stanford and that ball game," Sarkisian said. "We have to learn from it, but we have to get ready for a completely different style in Oregon this week."
Sarkisian and the Huskies (4-1, 1-1 Pac-12) tried to move on Monday from the 31-28 loss to the fifth-ranked Cardinal that showed Washington is ready again to play on a national stage.
But before looking ahead to Oregon, Sarkisian had to address a debated replay review that overturned a fourth-down reception by Kevin Smith on Washington's final possession and Sarkisian's postgame claims that Stanford players were faking injuries in the final minutes.
Sarkisian said the Pac-12 affirmed the replay officials' decision to call Smith's reception incomplete after it was ruled a catch on the field, though he still didn't agree with the call. Smith's catch came on fourth-and-10 at the Stanford 49 with less than 90 seconds left.
Washington quarterback Keith Price scrambled out of trouble and threw up the sideline to Smith, who appeared to corral the low pass for a first down. Replay determined the football touched the ground although there were no clear TV replays.
"I think it was a very difficult call to make at the moment of the call. It was ruled a catch and I accepted the fact it was ruled a catch. If they ruled it incomplete I would have accepted it was ruled incomplete. But it was ruled a catch so we went with the call," Sarkisian said. "The explanation from the Pac-12 using the same video replay we saw on the Jumbotron, the back angle that ESPN shot, was that it was conclusive that it was not a catch. I disagree, but that is just my opinion. I don't think that was conclusive."
Sarkisian was also asked about his postgame claims that Stanford players were faking injuries in the final minutes as Washington attempted to rally with its up-tempo offense. Cardinal defenders Ben Gardner and Shayne Skov both were tended to by trainers on the field in the fourth quarter for apparent injuries.
"We saw what we saw and I'll leave it at that," Sarkisian said.
Gardner and Skov denied on Twitter that they were faking injuries.
"Skov didn't take a dive, I didn't take a dive. Never have never will. Stay classy Washington," Gardner wrote on Twitter on Sunday.
There were plenty of reasons the Huskies couldn't pull off an upset and land the first blow in the race for the Pac-12 North Division title.
Washington allowed Ty Montgomery to take the opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, the first allowed by the Huskies in two seasons.
Washington later failed to execute a short kickoff properly, leading to another long return by Montgomery and eventually his 39-yard touchdown reception from Kevin Hogan with 11 seconds left in the first half that gave the Cardinal a 17-7 lead at the break.
"We just didn't execute the coverage lanes the way we're capable of," Sarkisian said. "We went right back to it today. It was the first thing we did in practice."
While the special teams woes contributed to the loss, Price did everything possible to keep the Huskies in the game. Standing up to punishment from Stanford's stout front seven, Price threw for 350 yards and two touchdowns. Price appeared to injure the thumb on his throwing hand during the game but stayed in and was participating in practice Monday.
"Some of the shots he took and for him to continue to get back up and throw the football and make critical throws on third down in the second half I thought was tremendous," Sarkisian said.

'Real Housewives Of Orange County' Season 6 Episode 5 Recap
There was a new theme for the Real Housewives of Orange County this week: superficiality. Just kidding! That's the theme every week. Peggy thinks about getting new boobs and takes her kids to a modeling agency, a meeting which doesn't go well. Alexis throws a Botox party for the ladies. What screams bonding louder than getting pricked by needles? Check out my favorite scenes from this week's episode.

2011 Roster Breakdown
When the Vancouver Canucks kick off their 2011-12 campaign against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Rogers Arena on Thursday night, the team will surprisingly ice much of the same lineup it did a year ago – a season which saw the team come one game away from hoisting Lord Stanley's cup.
Of the 21 players to suit up, only 7 differ from the 2010-11 version that suffered a 2-1 shootout loss to the Los Angeles Kings. The caveat of this calculation being the omission of Alexandre Burrows and Sami Salo – two regulars who were out with injuries.
And considering the Canucks are once again plagued by postseason casualties, the team might have looked even more similar if Ryan Kesler and Mason Raymond were able to recover in time for the opening day puck drop.
As it stands, everyone's favourite twins, the Sedins, remain the focal point of the Canucks offence. But this year they start off with trigger man Alexandre Burrows instead of Mikael Samuelsson who filled in a year ago. Manny Malhotra and Jannik Hansen return to the third line duties and are flanked by trade deadline acquisition Chris Higgins, as Raffi Torres signed with the Phoenix Coyotes in the offseason.
Which leaves the most notable makeovers to the second and fourth lines. Rookie Cody Hodgson, 21 – now wearing Gordie Howe's #9 instead of the #39 he skated around with last year and preseason – is being given the daunting task of replacing Kesler and his 41 goals. While newcomer Marco Sturm, 33, and sniper Samuelsson, 34, flank the youngster on the wings.
On the fourth line Aaron Volpatti, 26, from Revelstoke, B.C. earned his opening day spot with his mitts and muscle, and was arguably the talk of the preseason up until Hodgson – the much-hyped 10th overall pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft – potted two against Edmonton in the preseason finale.
Newcomer Dale Weise, a 6-2, 210-pound bruiser acquired on Tuesday from the New York Rangers, and Maxim Lapierre, the latter acquired by Mike Gillis at the trade deadline and who performed brilliantly in the postseason, round out the final threesome.
The Canucks blueline stays relatively in tact, minus the glaring absence of Christian Ehroff who led all Vancouver d-men with 50 points. After posting a plus-32, Kevin Bieksa and the ever reliable Dan Hamhuis, plus-29, take over the first pairing, while minute-muncher Alexander Edler drops down the depth chart ever so slightly after an inconsistent campaign.
Edler, who looks like a Norris Trophy candidate one night and the seventh defenceman the next, should temper his inconsistency with the help of partner Sami Salo, 36, pacing the youngster.
After sleeping in the doghouse for much of 2009-10 Keith Ballard has something to prove, and he and diamond in the rough rookie Chris Tanev round out a Canucks' defence, which once again will be one of the best in the NHL.
Goaltending remains the same, but with another shaky postseason and the bar set so high on the Canucks, and what seems Roberto Luongo, their might be more Cory Schneider sightings, if not just to give Bobby Lou some rest and Mike Gillis more opportunities to dangle his trade bait if Schneider continues to play like a No. 1.

Bahrain launches major IT training drive
Manama, September 6, 2011
More than 15,000 Bahrainis are set to benefit from basic computer training through an initiative launched by the kingdom's eGovernment Authority.
The aim is to reduce the digital gap, build an information society and combat computer illiteracy among individuals, said officials.
The Qudrat e-Training programme aims to educate 15,015 Bahrainis from different age groups in computer skills over the next two years.
Around 2,015 of these are government employees and the remaining 13,000 are Bahraini nationals who will attend 24 hours of accredited training, two hours a day over a 12-day period.
Training will include basics in Windows, Microsoft Office, Internet applications and surfing as well as how to use the eGovernment portal to encourage citizens to complete their governmental services online.
The sessions will be taught in Arabic with some terminology in English, said officials.
Memoranda of understanding have been signed with the Bahrain Institute for Entrepreneurship and Technology and Ascentech Telecom Institute to act as partners in this project, they added. – TradeArabia News Service

Children's Health Advocate and National Sustainability Leader Recognized at William K. Reilly Environmental Leadership Awards
On April 24, 2014, Nse Obot Witherspoon, Executive Director of the Children's Environmental Health Network and Daniel C. Esty received the William K. Reilly Awards for Environmental Leadership. Ms. Witherspoon was introduced by Center for Environmental Policy Advisory Board member Stanley Abramson who praised her work advocating for the protection of children from environmental health risks such as lead, air pollutants, and other toxics. Ms. Witherspoon shared stories of the impacts of environmental hazards on children's ability to learn, grow and thrive, and the importance of addressing these challenges through partnerships and policies. Mr. Esty was introduced by Center for Environmental Policy Advisory Member Stephen Harper who recognized Mr. Esty's contributions to Connecticut where he served as Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection, and to federal environmental policy through his work at the US EPA. Examples of Mr. Esty's accomplishments include a Comprehensive Energy Strategy and a clean energy finance bank, among many others. Mr. Esty is well known for facilitating productive collaborations between the private and public sector to achieve environmental goals and was an early pioneer of sustainability metrics.
In addition to the awards program, William K. Reilly introduced former Senator Bob Graham who spoke about his experiences facilitating collaboration across divergent stakeholders, including in his role as co-chairman of the BP Oil Spill Commission.
Jennifer Fernandez (MPP 2015) and Kavita Mak (MPP 2015) received the William K. Reilly scholarship for their academic accomplishments in the School of Public Affairs and for their and commitment to a career in the environmental or energy fields.

In just 3 months last year, poachers slaughtered circa 450 elephants in Bouba-Ndjida National Park, Cameroon, a drama that spurred the deployment of 60 new ecoguards. However, the lack of equipment, stable salaries and basic housing facilities conspired to make the guard's task of protecting the remaining wildlife, all the more challenging.
With SOS funding, the LEO Foundation provided fuel and food, an essential contribution to patrols performed jointly by eco-guards from the Ministry of Forest and Wildlife and local villagers hired and trained by the Mayo Rey Conservation Association, a community organisation. The project team also initiated the construction of nine houses inside the Park boundaries, making a major difference in the daily life of the guards who were able to stay dry at night throughout this year's rainy season. "This additional support helped reinforce the guys' enthusiasm for their mission", explains Dr. Ralph Buij from the LEO Foundation and an expert in anti-poaching methods.
But the rainy season is a tough one for the patrolling teams, who can only access the savanna areas through exhausting efforts and extreme patience. The steady rains transform small streams into tumultuous rivers, making crossings almost impossible. This is all the more frustrating as illegal poachers, gold miners and herders may use such events to their advantage hunting threatened species with impunity, destroying and polluting the land or grazing on protected lands. It is as if they can work almost unnoticed, hidden by sheets of rain, protected by torrential rivers.
With teams permanently based in the bush supported by a mobile team encouraging and motivating their colleagues, by the end of July, eleven local people had been arrested for illegal activities within the Park's boundaries. This included five poachers who regularly supplied the illegal bush meat market and a number of illegal fishermen and miners. Additionally, six guns were confiscated. All eleven people were handed over to judicial authorities: an accomplishment in itself given the main roads out of the Park cannot be used by cars due to the rains. And as if catching them was not challenge enough, processing them is another race against time: the law only permits 48 hours for the guards to refer suspects to the local authorities!
Despite all these difficulties, "this year's achievements during the wet season show a clear progress versus last year", says Paul Bour, chairman Mayo Rey Conservation (MRC), and key collaborator on this project. The work continues; building a team of motivated and equipped guards who are prepared for both natural and man-made challenges to their mission.
But the rains will come again and the work involves long hard days. Constructing homes for 36 ecoguards so far with this SOS grant represents a solid foundation for longer term impacts. "After a long stint in the bush, a place to call home and to lay one's head means a lot. And having content, motivated guards could be the difference in us protecting what remains of Bouba-Ndjida's elephants and other wildlife", explains Bour.

It the perfect combination of sunscreen, iced coffee, grills and ocean air. That my friends is the aroma of summer vacation and it is so close I can smell it.
So close!
But before my toes can go without shoes for 10 consecutive weeks, the school year must wrap up.Those last few weeks can get tricky. The kids shut down, your to do list grows, the classrooms heat up and schedules get all jumbly which adds to the chaos. It's important to have an arsenal of end-of-the-year activities to balance out the nostalgia for the school year and the anticipation of the vacation. It helps to keep the wee ones engaged.
Below is a thematic kit of activities I've developed to keep the kiddos on task.
The following pictures show my most recent kit designed for the End of the School Year. It includes over 35 reproducible pages that are ideal for grades 1-5 and can easily be adapted for preschool and Kindergarten. Included are a:
- 28 page Memory Book ~ (click on the picture to see larger versions) These pages allow students to reflect on the past year. There are pages for the funniest thing that happened, field trips, favorite lunch, what they did at recess, what is popular now, and much more. Print them all out or select just the ones you want to include. There is even a blank template that they can customize (my kiddos use them to add in student teachers, aides and one child even created a page for each classmate). You can assemble the book using a binding machine or just staple it. What I do is copy the pages and 3-hole punch them. When the students finish writing and illustrating them, I give them the choice of binding the book with ribbons and pipe cleaners or putting them into folders with prongs.
- Top 10 list Template for each grade level ~ It reads, "The Top 10 Things You Need to Know About ___ Grade" and I've included a copy for each grade level starting with preschool. There is clip art on the side that the students can color or you could cut that off before photocopying and have your kids decorate the border themselves. These make a great back to school bulletin board for the fall (hello, timesaver!) and also a nice class book to have available to your new class.
- 3 different templates for letters to the child's future teacher ~ It's nice for the next teacher to get a letter from the student and the kids feel better knowing that their teacher knows something about them. I designed three versions of this so that it can be used by different developmental levels. There is one for students to just draw on, one with a headline/midline/baseline and one with smaller lines for advanced writers.
It's available at my online TPT store as an instant download for only $5.00. I have them do a few pages each day. It's great as an instant filler when you find they need a low key activity and it's such fun to hear them chatting and remembering the year. I find it is great closure and a wonderful keepsake. I typically print some photos from the year and make a page for each student's book as well with a note from me.
I promise it will make those hectic last weeks easier for you. Wouldn't you rather spend your upcoming nights and weekends picking out new flip flops and browsing Barnes and Noble for beach reads instead of creating end of the year projects on your own.
Fresh Air Reading:
Have the students bring in sheets or beach towels from home. Spend some time outside reading in the fresh air. Give the parents a head's up so that they may apply bug spray or sunblock.
Sidewalk Chalk:
Use sidewalk chalk to create some outdoor art to enhance a lesson. Anything you would normally do on paper can be done using chalk outside. Some ideas include: webbing stories, character sketches, illustrating scenes from a book, etc.
Water Painting:
Take the kids outside with cups of water and paintbrushes. Let them "paint" their spelling or vocabulary words onto the wall of the school or the playground.
Detail Writing:
Use clipboards and allow the kids to sit outside and journal, compose poems or write descriptive paragraphs about an object that they can observe outside.
So Many Nouns:
Go on a walk around the schoolgrounds and list all of the nouns that can be seen.
Now is a great time to do some safety lessons and activities. Topics such as sun safty, water safety, bike safety and fireworks safety are timely and important.
Have kids write persuasive paragraphs on why bike helmets should be worn.
Research summer safety tips and design posters that can be hung around the school or town.
Contact the local police and fire department. They are often willing to come to schools and do presentations on these topics.
Read and write campfire stories.
Research and write about woodland creatures. Use model magic to create them.
Make "solar s'mores" by wrapping marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers in foil and setting them in the sun.
Tye-Dye tshirts or use watercolors and coffee filters to make pretend shirts.
Give the children posterboards and allow them to create their own board game. Provide them with parameters and guides. They can design the game board, write trivia cards, write out instructions for play, etc.
Do an "in-class game day" where the students bring games from home. Allow them time to teach each other how to play the game and let them enjoy playing together.
Use online programs to create word searches using words that relate to your school year.
Play a whole class game of Pictionary.
Challenge another class to a kickball game.
Make playdough and allow the children to be creative.
Collect recycled items (newspapers, egg cartons, cans, etc) and let the kids create interesting artwork.
Make collages.
Water color murals. Put on some quiet music and see how calm the classroom becomes.
Read the book, It's Not a Box. Have each child bring in a box from home and use classroom supplies to transform it into something else. Allow time for each student to share with the class.
Print out reader's theaters scripts and have your students work in small groups to plan a performance. Supply them with some art materials to make props, costumes and scenery.
Hold a "class talent show." Let kids practice and perform on their own or with a friend.
It's so tempting to put in a movie during those last few days. Justify it by reading a novel that has been made into a film. My personal favorite is Charlotte's Web.
Watch SchoolHouse Rocks and then have the kids make up their own songs to teach a concept.

"History shows conservation happens when and where hunting and fishing are allowed-this amendment, if enacted, will provide better access to our national forests and BLM lands for hunting and fishing, and will protect many critical elements of the hunting experience. It is a homerun for hunters and we will work to get it enacted into law," said Ben Wallace, president of Boone and Crockett Club.
For the 32 million American hunters, anglers and recreational shooters, federal public lands are increasingly vital to their participation in outdoor sports. Nearly half of all hunters, for example, conduct a portion of their hunting activity on public lands. Reduced access is cited as a primary reason that hunters, anglers and target shooters stop participating in these traditional sports. A 2004 report to the U.S. House Committee On Appropriations concluded that more than 35 million acres of Forest Service and BLM lands have inadequate access. Specifically, nearly 2 million acres (10 percent) of Forest Service lands in Montana and 8.4 million acres (29 percent) of BLM lands in the Montana/Dakotas region were identified as having inadequate access.
Sportsmen and women make important contributions to both wildlife conservation and the nation's economy. The hunting and shooting sports industries create over 160,000 full-time jobs nationwide, generating an economic benefit of over $20 billion annually.

Adults who took inhaled steroids as children to control their asthma may be shorter than they otherwise would have been, but only by a little, U.S. researchers said.
Results of a long-term asthma study found that children who used an inhaled steroid before they entered puberty were about a half-inch shorter as adults than those who did not take the drugs.
Doctors have known since the 1990s that inhaled steroids taken for asthma can delay growth, but researchers had believed these children would eventually catch up.
"This is mostly good news," said Dr. Gail Weinmann of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, a part of the National Institutes of Health, which supported the study.
Weinmann said the drug has been proven over and over to be the most effective for the most people, but there had been this lingering question about its effect on height.
"Now we know what it is. It is a half an inch," she said in a telephone interview.
The study, led by William Kelly of the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, is the first to follow inhaled steroid users until they reached their adult height.
Kelly and colleagues studied more than 1,000 children aged 5 to 12 who were treated for mild to moderate asthma as part of a comprehensive asthma study.
The researchers divided the children into three groups: one got twice-daily treatment with AstraZeneca's Pulmicort, known generically as budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid medication; a second group got nedocromil, an older inhaled non-steroid medication; and a third got a placebo.
The team followed nearly 950 of the children until they reached adult height. They found adults who took the inhaled steroids were slightly shorter than either of the two other groups.
Those most affected had started on steroids before they reached puberty, and the height effect varied depending on dose, with those taking higher daily doses experiencing the biggest effect on height.
"This suggests that finding the minimum dose required to control each child's asthma could help mitigate any potential effects on height," Kelly said in a statement.
The findings were presented on Monday at the European Respiratory Society meeting in Vienna, and published online in the New England Journal of Medicine.

One of the most widely anticipated showings at the 2012 Eurogamer Expo was the new Nintendo Home Console, the Wii U. When unveiled it was met by equal scepticism and excitement by press and gamers alike, as the thought of the possibilities and at the same time limitations sparked debates across the internet. One of the largest titles to be announced for a launch release on the console is ZombiU, a survival horror title with a rather interesting twist: If you die your corpse will become one of the infected that you'll have to fight at a later time. The Parable team was really interested to get a playtest of the game at the event, so below we've given our individual first impressions on the title.
That picture reminds me of Shawn of the dead, i love that movie. :)
im very looking forward to this game, dunno there's something special about it, maybe cause it's a fresh launch title or its name??? anyway the game itself do look good especially that Birmingham trailer
This game seems to go back to TRUE survival horror, can't wait. Now if only this was an mmo...zombieU 2 pleasssseeee.
While the concept and the gameplay look pretty interesting. I'm a little disappointed with the graphics. I'm not a graphic whore nor do I expect this to look like current PC games. Still though looking at that HD trailer the graphics seem second rate current gen. The hands, arms, and certain textures look very mediocre.
I'll keep an eye out for this game. I just would of liked for a flagship title like this specific to the Wii U to come out swinging at the very least giving us a glimpse into next gen power.
Hmm not to sure about this game... seems a little racist to me... killing all those white zombies and all. thats why i skipped res5 last time because of all the black zombies in africa /s
p.s day 1

"The customer is always looking for more ways to save money." –Tom DeHaven, senior manager of driveshaft products, Dana Holding Corp.
If there's been any one repeating theme this week at the 2011 Technology & Maintenance Council's annual meeting in Tampa, FL (which proved to be more grey, rainy and cold more time than I would've thought for the Sunshine state), it's the everyone continues to look for "just a little bit more" in terms of saving money in the trucking business.
In terms of trucking products, that "little bit" is being found in myriad ways: eliminating a maintenance procedure here, shaving a few pounds off a component there, even introducing new technologies to help save more of the technician's ever more precious time.
Take for example Shell Lube Express – a device that's actually been around a long time, almost 20 years, but that's just now being introduced by Shell to U.S. fleets. It's a device that automatically changes heavy truck engine oil – eliminating a mundane yet odious chore no technician looks forward to. Yet automating the oil change process – simple as it may seem – frees up a technician to focus on more important tasks in the shop.
[Below you can watch an overview of how the Shell Express Lube system works – and who KNEW such a product could generate such enthusiasm!]
Even small changes to trucking components can save time and money for the shop over the long term. Take Dana Holding Corp.'s new "service-free" design for its Spicer Life Series (SPL) driveshafts. By eliminating the need to add grease to a driveshaft's U-joints, it can save a fleet $150 over the estimated 600,000 service life of this component – not a lot, surely, but added up across a fleet of trucks it adds up.
Fleets need to stock one less kind of grease, technicians have one less job to perform (though they still need to inspect the driveshaft at recommended intervals), and that leads to more shop savings over time.
[You can watch Tom DeHaven, Dana's senior manager of driveshaft products, review these design changes below.]
Even the ubiquitous fifth wheel is getting a series of makeovers these days, again as fleets look for ways to generate even incremental savings.
Fontaine Fifth Wheel is just one supplier serving this product niche that's rolled out several different versions of its fifth wheels products to address a variety of different needs, from lighter weight designs aimed at compensating for the addition of heavy mandated emission control systems to trucks on over to fifth wheels with simplified maintenance designs and ones offering safety-related features.
[Steve Mann, Fontaine's VP-engineering, reviews some of those fifth wheel design changes below.]
No truck component these days is too small from design enhancements these days. For example, Betts Spring Co. and Spraydown USA forged a partnership to provide Betts' DirectFlex hanger with Spraydown's aero guard system to replace he typical mud flap/bracket components an integrated unit that features tougher more robust construction while reducing road spray that obscures the vision of truck and car drivers alike.
Over time, the system is supposed to reduce fuel consumption by helping redirect air flows under and around an 18-wheeler, but more importantly, the strengthened design aims to significantly reduce maintenance costs associated with mud flap care and repair.
Then there are even odder items, such as Counteract Balancing Beads; microscopic inert tempered glass beads with a special coating that, when placed inside a truck tire, "stick" to the low spots to help even out tread wear over the life of a tire.
Added inside the tire case in small bags – a 16 ounce bag for a wide base tire, 12 ounce bag for a typical driver tire, and 10 ounce bag for a steer tire – these beads help the tire stay "cool" with smoother tread, increasing casing life.
Indeed, the Canadian-based company noted fleets can expect to get an additional retread opportunity out of the tire casing over and above what they normally achieve by using these beads.
These beads are certainly unusual, to say the least – then again, nothing is too small to escape the notice of truckers these days, as the industry continues to search for ways to save no matter how microscopic the opportunity might be.

Now here's something interesting coming from the Wolfsburg crew: The VW Tiguan Performance Concept set to debut at SEMA. The details are thin so far, but the tiniest SUV from the people's brand gets a three-stage turbo pushing output up to 312 HP and 319 lb-ft of torque to go along with the upgraded Dakar-style body work. Since it's coming out at SEMA it's also getting a silly and irrelevant Rockford Fostgate sound system which makes us shake our heads. Still, we want to run it against the new 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor in a desert-racing death match. Click here for a high-res view and check out the "release" below the jump.
Tiguan Performance Concept Stylish, powerful and rockin' are three words that describe the Tiguan Performance. An upgraded exterior body kit, a three-stage turbo kit ringing out 312 hp and 319 lbs. ft of torque and a custom designed and built sound system from Rockford Fosgate leave this Tiguan looking great, driving great and sounding great.

More than two weeks after the Boston Marathon bombings, authorities charged two Kazakh nationals and a Cambridge man with trying to destroy or cover up evidence linking their college friend to the deadly explosions.
Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, 19-year-olds who have been jailed since April 20 on immigration charges, were accused in US District Court Wednesday with obstructing justice by dumping into the garbage a laptop computer and a backpack belonging to bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who attended the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth with them.
Robel Phillipos, 19, of Cambridge was charged with making false statements to law enforcement officials in a terrorism investigation after he gave varying accounts of what happened, federal investigators said.
The arrests represented the latest dramatic twist in the case, one that introduces to the saga three teenagers, text messages, and Tsarnaev's alleged light-hearted reference to the bombings. Arrest documents revealed that Tsarnaev had told his friends a month before the Marathon that he knew how to make a bomb.
The charges do not link the suspects with the bombings, but the teenagers do stand accused of hatching a plan, or lying about it, to help Tsarnaev after the April 15 explosions that killed three people and wounded 264.
Their actions came shortly before Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, engaged in a chaotic shoot-out with police early on the morning of April 19 that left Tamerlan dead and Dzhokhar on the run. He was captured the next evening.
It was a spur-of-the-moment plan they developed, investigators said, after spotting their college friend in videos released by the FBI during a desperate hunt for the bombers. They decided to remove the backpack from Tsarnaev's dorm room and toss it in a New Bedford dumpster, which was then emptied into a landfill.
Last Friday, authorities found the backpack inside a black garbage bag at the landfill. The backpack contained fireworks, a UMass Darmouth homework assignment sheet from one of Tsarnaev's classes, and other items, investigators said. The court documents made no mention of whether investigators found the laptop computer.
Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev face maximum sentences of five years in prison and $250,000 fines. Phillipos faces a maximum sentence of eight years and a $250,000 fine, prosecutors said.
The three suspects and Tsarnaev became friendly at UMass Dartmouth. Phillipos graduated with Tsarnaev from Cambridge Rindge & Latin School in 2011, became a close friend, and moved on with him to the university.
Attorneys for the suspects denied their clients had realized that their friend was one of the bombing suspects.
"Dias Kadyrbayev absolutely denies the charges, as we've said from the very beginning," said Robert G. Stahl, his attorney. "He is just as shocked and horrified by the violence in Boston that took place as the rest of the community is."
Stahl said his client disputes the government's charge that he recognized his friend in the FBI pictures.
Although Kadyrbayev admitted that he disposed of the backpack, Stahl said, he "did not know that those items were involved in a bombing, or of any interest in a bombing."
An attorney for Tazhayakov said his client has cooperated fully with authorities and that he looks forward to "the truth coming out."
"Azamat Tazhayakov feels horrible and was shocked that someone he knew at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth was involved in the Boston Marathon bombing," said Harlan Protass, the attorney.
Phillipos's attorney also said his client is innocent.
"My client was not charged with helping the suspect in any way whatsoever before or after and had no knowledge of the incident," said Derege Demissie, who represents Phillipos. "As to the actual charges . . . I will look forward to litigating that in court."
In court, Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov appeared in casual clothes before Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler, who scheduled a May 14 preliminary hearing on the charges. The men were ordered held without bail and were taken into custody by the US Marshals Service.
Phillipos was arrested Wednesday afternoon and appeared stunned when he arrived in the courtroom. He was a wearing a blue and white striped T-shirt, jeans, and Nike sneakers.
The complaint contains differing accounts from the suspects about what happened April 18, the night they entered Tsarnaev's dorm room. It was three days after the two bombs exploded on Boylston Street.
According to Kadrybayev's account, authorities said, Phillipos called to tell him to watch the news because one of the bombing suspects looked familiar. After viewing the FBI photos, the complaint said, Kadrybayev texted Tsarnaev and told him he looked like one of the suspects.
Tsarnaev replied "lol" — "laughing out loud."
Shortly afterward, according to the complaint, Kadrybayev said the three suspects entered Tsarnaev's room and noticed a backpack containing fireworks that had been emptied of powder. Kadrybayev realized at that point, authorities said, that Tsarnaev must have been involved in the bombing.
To help their friend, the complaint said, Kadrybayev and Tazhayakov decided to remove the backpack and bring it to the New Bedford apartment they shared. There, they put the backpack and fireworks in a large black trash bag, which they tossed in a dumpster about 10 p.m., the complaint said.
Tazhayakov gave a slightly different account to authorities. He said he received a text from Kadrybayev that asked, "Have you seen the news?"
They and Phillipos then went to Tsarnaev's dorm room. Before they entered, according to the account, Kadryabayev shared this text from Tsarnaev: "I'm about to leave. If you need something in my room, take it."
Once inside, Kadryabayev found the backpack with an emptied cardboard tube that looked like fireworks casing, authorities said. At that point, Tazhayakov said he realized that Tsarnaev must have been involved in the bombing.
Phillipos offered yet a third version of events, in several conflicting interviews, authorities said. Initially, Phillipos denied that he had gone to Tsarnaev's dorm on the evening of April 18. But during a fourth interview on Friday, authorities said, he confessed that he lied. Phillipos signed a statement acknowleding that the three suspects had entered Tsarnaev's room and taken the backpack April 18, authorities said.
Once they returned to the New Bedford apartment, according to Phillipos's account, Kadrybayev and Tazhayakov "started to freak out" because they realized from a CNN report that Tsarnaev was one of the Marathon bombers.
Phillipos said he did not understand most of what his friends were saying because they spoke in Russian. However, when Kadrybrayev asked Phillipos whether he should toss the backpack, investigators said, Phillipos told them to "do what you have to do."
Phillipos told investigators he took a nap, and that the backpack was gone when he woke up.
The appearance in US District Court for Kadrybayev and Tazhayakov Wednesday was their second legal proceeding of the day. The suspects appeared on videotape, wearing prison scrubs in the South Bay House of Correction in Boston, before a federal immigration judge in the morning on allegations they had violated their student visas.
Tsarnaev had poor grades in each of his four semesters at UMass Dartmouth and owes more than $20,000 in overdue tuition bills, according to people briefed on his record at the school who asked not to be identified. University officials would not confirm or deny the reports of his tuition debts or his grades, citing a federal statute that prohibits release of a student's education and financial records.
John Hoey, assistant chancellor for public affairs at UMass Dartmouth, said Phillipos and Kadyrbayev left the university after the fall semester. Phillipos withdrew for reasons that were unclear Wednesday, and Kadyrbayev was expelled for poor grades. Tazhayakov was enrolled until this week, but university officials suspended him Wednesday when the criminal charges were filed.

It's the end of an era for South Florida, as the Maroone family name comes down from auto dealerships and the AutoNation corporate name goes up in its place.
The country's largest auto retailer announced Thursday that it is rolling out its AutoNation name coast to coast on all stores in its domestic and import divisions, roughly 180 shops in 15 states.
The aim: to make AutoNation the go-to stop for cars, like McDonald's for burgers.
Al Maroone, the patriarch of the auto dealer family, feels no sadness.
"I've had my name on the building for just short of 60 years," he said. "I've had my day in the sun."
Instead, he's thrilled for his son and protégé Mike Maroone, operations chief at AutoNation who has helped build the Fort Lauderdale-based firm into a giant selling nearly 450,000 vehicles last year alone.
Al said he sold his stores to AutoNation in 1997 partly as "an opportunity for Mike to spread his wings and use some of the customer-friendly ideas we had used successfully in our family business."
Autonation Chief Executive Mike Jackson said the name change seeks to boost awareness of the nationwide brand, key to sales increasingly researched and conducted on the Internet.
Even ads to the Ghostbusters tune now will say "Who you gonna call? AutoNation."
"Imagine if Amazon or Google had a different name in every state," said Jackson in an interview. "You have to unite under one name to take the brand to the next level."

There has been much spectulation about how Flynn will be traded. There are valid argument for and against trading Flynn. I just want to get the pulse on what level of compensation do you expecpt r think is a fair trade.
I think 3rd or 4th round vale us fair but I really like the idead John Clayton had. Swap 3rd with oakland which is aprox a 4th round value, and get a conditial 5th up to a 4th next year as well. I don't think we need as many rookies to come in and compete as we need quality rookies. An early 3rd this year is not a big drop off from a late 1st early 2nd beacause this draft has a very large group graded as 2nd round talent.

Police say at just after 10:00 a.m. a Jeep Cherokee rammed through Gate 25 near Hog Island Road at the west end of the airport.
The actual gate itself ended up landing 50 yards from the entry point.
RAW:Video of PHL airfield chase
Startled construction workers watched as the driver, identified as 24-year-old Kenneth Mazik of Chadds Ford, continued to drive down one of the main runways.
"The ground radar kicked in; the tower was alerted immediately and they made sure to divert flights coming in and then quickly shut the airport down," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Joseph Sullivan said.
Police chased the Jeep on the two main east-west runways and surrounded him after he hit a couple of runway lights and slowed down.
Police say when they got a hold of him, Mazik appeared to be intoxicated.
RELATED: PHL control tower: 'Vehicle on runway'
Witnesses say Mazik was parked outside the gate apparently waiting for one of the planes to come in for a landing. As an incoming plane approached he then allegedly accelerated - blasting through the gate and onto airport property.
Those who saw the incident unfold say it appears as though Mazik attempted to time it so that the Jeep would meet the plane as it landed. Police say the vehicle never made it to the runway as officers were able to stop Mazik.
One plane just about to land had to be diverted as air traffic controllers struggled to get a handle on the situation.
"Wisconsin 4086...everybody on niner left it's gonna be a delay. You guys can shut down if you need to. We've got a rogue vehicle driving around on the airport. We're not talking to 'em. We can catch 'em," a controller said.
AUDIO: Realtime recording of airfield invasion
By 4:00 p.m., all runways were reopened.
There are a number of gates like Gate 25 around the perimeter of the airport. They too are unmanned, but the airport says they are reasonably secure.
"We do have security perimeter checks on a regular basis, multiple times, every shift throughout the entire day; so we're fairly confident with our security," Philadelphia Airport Deputy Director Keith Prune said.
Police did an initial search of the car for explosives or other material that came back negative. The car was apprehended by police and taken into custody.
As for Mazik, he has been charged on the state level with Driving Under the Influence, Recklessly Endangering another Person, Resisting Arrest and related offenses.
He was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for observation and drug and alcohol tests.
A spokesperson tells Action News, Mazik will be admitted to the hospital; it's believed he has been undergoing a psychiatric evaluation since he's been taken into custody.
Action News went to Mazik's home in the 400 block of Kennett Pike in Chadds Ford Thursday afternoon.
Pennsylvania State Police and other unmarked law enforcement vehicles were on the scene.
They had been apparently looking for evidence and talking to Mazik's brother who lives just next door.
After police left, no one came to the door at Mazik's house.
It was unlocked and unsecured.
There were signs of extensive and expensive renovations at the large stone house.
A number of childrens toys were found in the home
A red Mini with a smashed window was parked in the driveway.
Action News spoke to neighbors who knew Mazik.
They were baffled the reports from the airport and described him as pleasant, but somewhat unfocused.
He was particularly proud of the black Jeep Cherokee which he said he had fixed up, "for his baby's mama."
That Jeep and Mazik are now both in custody.
The investigation in this airport incident is ongoing as Mazik may also face federal charges.
