Scene in Manchester: Hillside parents take school's success seriouslyBY KATIE McQUAID
Special to the New Hampshire Union Leader
January 27. 2013 11:03PM
I THINK we can all agree there is a lot of complaining going on about Manchester public schools. As a soon-to-be public education parent, I don't doubt that I will be joining the ranks of complainers when my son enters first grade in the fall.
But for now I want to give praise to a group of parents at Hillside Middle School who have stopped complaining and started working together to lead the way toward creating an exceptional educational experience for students and teachers.
The school's PTO is hosting an inaugural benefit auction on Friday, Feb. 8, at Derryfield Country Club. The event will include a silent and live auction, food and entertainment. The goal is to raise $15,000 for the school's science and technology programs.
Hillside parent and event organizer Maureen Hamel said there is real interest by Hillside parents to stay involved and help improve their children's education, and many are helping out through this fundraiser. The core planning team includes Lisa Walsh, Justine Bernard, Katie Greenwood, Joanne Craighead and Hillside Principal Brendan McCafferty. Other standouts include parents Karen Radwanski, Shayna Wright, Elaine Pavitt, Stephanie Ferro and Andrea Elliot, and teachers Pat O'Neil, Diana Seitz, Sharon Price and Margie Moore.
My mom said she remembers when I started attending Hillside, back when it was just a two-year school. She said parents had invested so much energy into helping out at the elementary level that when middle school arrived they needed a break before the high school years began.
I also remember Hillside as being a scary place filled with a bunch of adolescents at the most awkward times of their life. And I don't blame parents who would rather just keep their distance until their little "tweens" get hold of their hormones. I also commend teachers who take on this challenging age group.
But although the middle school years are a time of awkward transition, they are still an important time for learning, and the Hillside PTO won't settle for an "adequate" education. The organization's goal is to "define a new kind of public education, uniting with parents, local businesses, as well as the community of Manchester, N.H."
Many local businesses have stepped up as event sponsors, and I'm sure many Hillside parents will be attending. I also hope many future Hillside parents will be there. As Hamel said, it's up to future parents to help build on the momentum this group is starting. Just think, if we work really hard, we may have nothing left to complain about.
Traveling Panda
Remember when I wrote about the "Sad Panda" painting I made at Muse Paint Bar last month? To recap, I painted a picture of a very sad panda and my friend Chris Proulx at Double Midnight Comics and Collectibles took it to his shop to see if he could sell it.
Imagine my surprise when I found it hanging on the wall at Child Guidance Early Learning Center when I dropped my son off for school there last week.
Kristen Biron, the school's owner, bought my painting for an undisclosed sum. But she doesn't plan to keep it. She already has a list of people who want to buy their own turn with the painting, which has been renamed "Traveling Panda." Each new owner will be asked to sign the back of the painting and the money from each purchase is being collected for the Union Leader Santa Fund.
I was truly touched that Biron came up with this creative fundraiser for a charity that is very close to my heart. I'm also just happy she reads my column. Biron is a special woman who runs an extraordinary school that is one of our city's hidden gems.
Now here is where I need the help of you, my loyal readers. I have been given the challenge of finding my "Traveling Panda" at each of his new locations. If you see him, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. And if you are interested in owning "Traveling Panda" yourself, contact Proulx at Double Midnight Comics & Collectibles at 669-9636.
You will be seeing red
There is nothing wrong with your eyes. Everyone will be wearing red this Friday. At least, they should be. Feb. 1 is National Wear Red Day to raise awareness of heart disease in women.
Audra Burns from the American Heart Association shared some scary statistics about heart disease in women, such as, "Thirty nine percent of Americans think they are in ideal heart health when in reality less than 1 percent really are."
Yikes! Yet another case where it's good to be a "1 percenter." Thank you in advance for wearing red on Friday to remind me to find out which percentage I fall into.
Warmed my heart
The crew over at Burke Advertising in Bedford is giving almost $1,000 to four local charities, and I'm proud to say that I helped. It was all part of the very clever "Warm Your Heart" Christmas package I received from the Bedford company. Inside was a travel mug, a package of hot cocoa mix, and a card that let me choose a nonprofit to receive a donation.
Well, the votes are in and each of the four eligible non-profits - Breathe NH, The Concord-Merrimack County SPCA, Legacy Bridge and Special Olympics - will get a piece of Burke Advertising's Christmas donation pie, depending on the number of votes they received.
I'm relieved that each nonprofit is getting something. They are all worthy charities, but I voted for Breathe New Hampshire because it was first on the list and because I have the pleasure of working out with organization president Dan Fortin.
I know a lot of companies and individuals give donations in lieu of presents at Christmas time. We are fortunate to get many of them for our Union Leader Santa Fund. And no one can forget when George Costanza gave nonexistent donations to the nonexistent Human Fund. Thanks to Burke Advertising's twist on that tradition, which let me participate in the giving process.
Time to buy your bunnies
Easter is not until March 31 this year, but it's not too early to order your chocolate bunnies from the Manchester Salvation Army. These bunnies are 8 ounces of delicious milk, dark or white chocolate, and they raise money for one of the best nonprofits in our city. But the best part is that they are not last-minute drug store bunnies!
Think ahead. Order today by contacting Kaisy Korcoulis at 627-7013 Ext. 216 or email@example.com.

Index of First Lines
A bowl of daffodils
A league and a league from the trenches
All that a man might ask thou hast given me, England
All the hills and vales along
Alone amid the battle-din untouched
Ambassador of Christ you go
Around no fire the soldiers sleep to-night
As I lay in the trenches
A song of hate is a song of Hell
A sudden swirl of song in the bright sky
At last therell dawn the last of the long year
Awake, ye nations, slumbering supine
A wind in the world! The dark departs
A wingèd death has smitten dumb thy bells
Because for once the sword broke in her hand
Before I knew, the Dawn was on the road
Beneath fair Magdalens storied towers
Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead
Broken, bewildered by the long retreat
Brothers in blood! They who this wrong began
Burned from the ores rejected dross
By all the deeds to Thy dear glory done
By all the glories of the day
By day, by night, along the lines their dull boom rings
Champion of human honour, let us lave
Come, Death, Id have a word with thee
Courage came to you with your boyhoods grace
Dark, dark lay the drifters, against the red west
Dawn off the Forelandthe young flood making
Dear son of mine, the baby days are over
Dreary lay the long road, dreary lay the town
Endless lanes sunken in the clay
England, in this great fight to which you go
England! where the sacred flame
Facing the guns, he jokes as well
For all we have and are
Franceline rose in the dawning gray
From morn to midnight, all day through
Further and further we leave the scene
Give us a name to fill the mind
Great names of thy great captains gone before
Green gardens in Laventie
Guns of Verdun point to Metz
Here is his little cambric frock
Here lies a clerk who half his life had spent
Here, where we stood together, we three men
He said: Thou petty people, let me pass
I cannot quite remember . There were five
I feel the spring far off, far off
If I should die, think only this of me:
I have a rendezvous with Death
I heard the rumbling guns. I saw the smoke
I know a beach road
In a vision of the night I saw them
I never knew you save as all men know
In lonely watches night by night
In the face of death, they say, he jokedhe had no fear
In the glad revels, in the happy fêtes
I saw her first abreast the Boston Light
I saw the spires of Oxford
I see across the chasm of flying years
It is portentous, and a thing of state
It was silent in the street
I was out early to-day, spying about
I went upon a journey
I will die cheering, if I needs must die
Land of the desolate, Mother of tears
Land of the Martyrsof the martyred dead
Led by Wilhelm, as you tell
Lest the young soldiers be strange in heaven
Low and brown barns, thatched and repatched and tattered
Men of my blood, you English men
Men of the Twenty-first
Moon, slow rising, over the trembling sea-rim
Mother and child! Though the dividing sea
My leg? Its off at the knee
My name is Darino, the poet
Nay, nay, sweet England, do not grieve
Near where the royal victims fell
No Mans Land is an eerie sight
No more old England will they see
Not long did we lie on the torn, red field of pain
Not since Wrens Dome has whispered with mans prayer
Not with her ruined silver spires
Now is the midnight of the nations: dark
Now lamp-lit gardens in the blue dusk shine
Now slowly sinks the day-long labouring Sun
Now spake the Emperor to all his shining battle forces
Of all my dreams by night and day
Often I think of you, Jimmy Doane,
O gracious ones, we bless your name
Oh, down by Millwall Basin as I went the other day
Oh, red is the English rose
Oh! yon hills are filled with sunlight
O living pictures of the dead
O race that Cæsar knew
Our little hour,how swift it flies
Out where the line of battle cleaves
Over the twilight field
Quiet thou didst stand at thine appointed place
Qui vive? Who passes by up there
Robbed mother of the stricken Motherland
Saints have adored the lofty soul of you
See you that stretch of shell-torn mud spotted with pools of mire
Shadow by shadow, stripped for fight
She came not into the Presence as a martyred saint might come
She was binding the wounds of her enemies when they came
Shyly expectant, gazing up at Her
Sometimes I fly at dawn above the sea
The battery grides and jingles
The first to climb the parapet
The horror-haunted Belgian plains riven by shot and shell
The naked earth is warm with Spring
There are five men in the moonlight
There is a hill in England
There is wild water from the north
The road that runs up to Messines
The starshells float above, the bayonets glisten
They had hot scent across the spumy sea
They sent him back to her. The letter came
This is the ballad of Langemarck
This was the gleam then that lured from far
Those who have stood for thy cause when the dark was around thee
Thou warden of the western gate, above Manhattan Bay
Thou, whose deep ways are in the sea
Three hundred thousand men, but not enough
To the Judge of Right and Wrong
T was in the piping time of peace
Under our curtain of fire
Under the tow-path past the barges
Unflinching hero, watchful to foresee
Was there love once? I have forgotten her
We are here in a wood of little beeches:
We challenged Death. He threw with weighted dice
We may not know how fared your soul before
We willed it not. We have not lived in hate
What have I given
What is the gift we have given thee, Sister
What of the faith and fire within us
What was it kept you so long, brave German submersible
When battles were fought
When consciousness came back, he found he lay
When first I saw you in the curious street
When the fire sinks in the grate, and night has bent
When there is Peace our land no more
Wherever war, with its red woes
With arrows on their quarters and with numbers on their hoofs
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children
Ye sleepers, who will sing you
You dare to say with perjured lips
You have become a forge of snow-white fire

Ashley Highfield quits Microsoft, becomes Scotsman boss
Former iPlayer overlord gets £500k hello
Ashley Highfield is leaving Microsoft following a management restructure at the company.
A replacement for Highfield has already been found. Microsoft has hired Andy Hart, who previously worked at Associated Northcliffe Digital.
He will head up the software vendor's advertising and online division in the UK.
A recent reorg at Microsoft meant Highfield's remit to oversee Microsoft's consumer and online wing – with responsibilty for Windows, Windows Mobile, advertising and the web – had effectively been downgraded.
The erstwhile digital media BBC exec is heading to newspaper publisher Johnston Press as the company's new CEO. That tenure begins in November, and – to ease him in – Highfield has been handed a hefty £500,000 share package.
Notable titles published by Johnston include The Scotsman and Yorkshire Post newspapers.
Highfield joined Microsoft in November 2008, after quitting his director of future media and technology role at the Beeb where he oversaw the development of the iPlayer, which took several years to complete and ran millions of pounds over budget. ®

NEW ULM, Minn. (csssaints.com) – It wasn't easy, but the St. Scholastica football team came out of New Ulm with its first victory ever at Martin Luther College with a 21-7 triumph on Saturday afternoon at the MLC Bowl.
In their first road game of the season, the Saints were put to the test against a solid Martin Luther defense. On the Saints' first two offensive possessions they drove into Martin Luther territory, but both would end on failed fourth down attempts.
CSS would also fail on fourth down in their fourth possession of the game at the MLC 25-yard-line as the first quarter would end scoreless. The Saints defense was no slouch as well holding the Knights to negative 17 yards of total offense in the first quarter.
The first drive of the second quarter for St. Scholastica ended up with a failed fourth down attempt at the Martin Luther 23-yard-line. The Knights finally drove into CSS territory on the ensuing possession, but that drive ended on a Keaton Rush interception.
Unfortunately, the Saints gave it right back two plays later on a fumble. Martin Luther could not capitalize, going back eight yards on their possession. However, the Knights would get another turnover on the next CSS possession with an interception.
The Saints defense held true again and thanks to a 22-yard Cory Gebhard punt return, St. Scholastica had great field position with 1:05 left in the half. Tyler Harper connected with Nick Thiry for a 25-yard gain down to the MLC 12 yard line. On the next play, Harper found Tyler Olson for a 12-yard touchdown reception to put the Saints on the board with 36 seconds left. Mike Theismann's PAT was good to make it 7-0.
That lead didn't last long as the Knights' Luke Rothe took the ensuing kickoff 81 yards for the touchdown to make it 7-7 at the half.
The Saints recorded 171 yards of total offense in the first half, while the Knights were held to negative four yards.
The third quarter went much like the first half with Martin Luther not having much success offensively and the Saints not able to capitalize against the bend-but-don't-break MLC defense.
With the score still tied in the fourth quarter, the Saints would be pinned at their own 10-yard-line. After moving the ball out to the 27, Harper would find Gebhard on a third-and-three pass and Gebhard did the rest going 73 yards for the score to make it 14-7 with 11:38 remaining.
The teams exchanged punts until late in the game when CSS was forced to make a decision on a fourth-and-goal at the MLC 5-yard-line with 31 seconds left. Instead of kicking the field goal, the Saints went for it and Harper found Gebhard again in the end zone for the touchdown to put the game on ice and give the Saints a 21-7 victory. It was also the first fourth down conversion of the game for CSS.
For the second consecutive week, the CSS defense held their opponents out of the end zone. The Knights (1-3, 0-3 UMAC) had just 67 yards of total offense, which sets a new program record for the Saints defense. The previous record was 149 vs. Westminster last year. The Saints also set a record for fewest rushing yards allowed as the Knights had negative 32 yards.
The St. Scholastica offense garnered 371 yards of total offense with a balanced attack of 188 on the ground and 183 through the air.
Harper was 13-of-29 for 183 yards and three touchdowns. Gebhard had a big day with five receptions for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Gebhard also had a program record 101 punt return yards for 210 all-purpose yards. Jake Jensen led the ground attack with 105 yards on 25 carries.
Zack Dubanoski led the defense with nine tackles and one sack. Blake Cedarleaf recorded seven tackles, including 3.5 for a loss. Chas Lemon also had a pair of sacks on the day. Jake Church had five of his six punts land inside the 20, which matched a program record.
The Saints (3-1, 3-0 UMAC) will be on the road again next Saturday when they make the 10-plus hour trip to Jacksonville, Illinois to faceoff against MacMurray College. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. and all of the action can be heard live on Saints Sports Net.

Why did the factory Yamaha team head to the Motorland Aragon circuit to join Honda and Suzuki at a private test? Was it perhaps to give Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi their first taste of the seamless gearbox Yamaha have been developing, to counter Honda's advantage?
That is the question which many fans have been asking, and in recent days – and weeks – I have been inundated with questions about the seamless gearbox. Well, question, singular, actually, as it all boils down to just the one: When will Yamaha finally start to race their seamless gearbox?
It is a question I have been trying to pursue since the start of the season, since rumors first emerged that they may have used the gearbox at the first race of the year. All inquiries I made, at all levels of the Yamaha organization, received the same answers: Yes, Yamaha is developing a seamless gearbox, and is testing it back in Japan. No, Yamaha has not yet raced it, and has no plans to race it. And no, it is not yet ready to be tested.

Civilization vs. Savagery
The center worry of Master of the Travels is the issue between two fighting urges available within all human being beings: the thought to stay by regulations, act quietly, comply with significant requires, and value the great of the collection against the thought to gratify their immediate needs, act strongly to acquire supremacy over others, and use their will. This issue might be stated in a some ways: civilization vs. savagery, acquire vs. madness, reason vs. wish, law vs. anarchy, or the greater going of great vs. nasty. Throughout the novel, Golding contacts the thought of civilization with great and the thought of savagery with nasty.
The issue between the two intuition is the power of the novel, researched through the dissolution of the young British boys' civil, significant, self-disciplined conduct as they accustom themselves to a crazy, intense, crude life in the marketplace. Master of the Travels is an allegorical novel, which means that Golding sends many of his significant thoughts and styles through outstanding character types and products. He signifies the issue between civilization and savagery in the issue between the novel's two significant characters: Rob, the character, who signifies acquire and leadership; and Port, the villain, who signifies savagery and the wish for energy.
As the novel continues, Golding reveals how different people feel the effects of the intuition of civilization and savagery to different levels. Piggy, such as, has no savage emotions, while Roger seems slightly competent of knowledge the regulations of civilization. Usually, however, Golding signifies that the thought of savagery is far more primal and basic to our being mind than the thought of civilization. Golding encounters significant conduct, in many conditions, as something that civilization makes upon the person and not a normal appearance of human being personality. When remaining to their own equipment, Golding signifies, people normally return to harshness, savagery, and barbarism. This idea of normal human being nasty is center to Master of the Travels, and confirms the appearance in several essential designs, such as the person and the sow's brain on the spot. Among all the character types, only Simon seems to acquire anything like a normal, normal rewards.
Loss of Innocence
As the young boys on the region success from well-behaved, arranged kids desiring recovery to terrible, bloodthirsty seeker who have no wish to gain to civilization, they normally reduced the feeling of purity that they had at the outset of the novel. The displayed savages in Part 12 who have sought after, tormented, and wiped out creatures and people are a far cry from the guileless kids diving in the lagoon in Part 3. But Golding does not express this lack of purity as something that done to the children; rather, it success normally from their growing visibility to the normal nasty and savagery that has always persisted within them. Golding signifies that civilization can cut but never drop the normal nasty that is available within all people. The dew glade in which Simon situated in Part 3 represents this lack of purity. At first, it is a spot of splendor and tranquility, but when Simon success later in the novel, he understands the soft sow's brain impaled upon a spot in the center of the fixing. The soft providing to the person has damaged the heaven that persisted before—a highly effective mark of normal human being nasty interfering with youth purity.
One of the big problems enhanced by Expert of the Vacations is whether the kids in their historical conduct are reverting to a somehow low excellent situation of lifestyle, or whether they encouraged to their standard and rightful statements. If well-brought up Indian native kids become serious savages when staying without management, maybe people really are just serious savages, provided up in outfits and restrictions. But big problems aside, primitivity in Expert of the Vacations indicates looking, the wish for meals, the wish for power, blood lust, strike, sadism, and a popular wherewithal to tell apart between man and man or woman.
Biblical Parallels
Many experts have recognized Master of the Travels as a retelling of periods from the Somebody. While that information an oversimplification, the novel does show certain Religious pictures and styles. Golding does not create any specific or immediate contacts to Religious importance in Master of the Flies; instead, these spiritual commonalities purpose as a type of simple style in the novel, including thematic resonance to the significant thoughts of the account. The region itself, particularly Simon's glade in the due, product recalls the Lawn of Eden in its place as an actually beautiful spot that is dangerous by the arrival of nasty. Also, we may see the Master of the Travels as a manifestation of the devil, for it works to advertise nasty among humankind. Furthermore, many experts have used powerful commonalities between Simon and Dinosaur. Among the young boys, Simon is the one who comes at the significant simple point of the novel, and the other young boys drop him sacrificial as an effect of having found this simple point. Simon's discussion with the Master of the Travels also commonalities the conflict between Dinosaur and the devil during Jesus' 40 days in the crazy, as advised in the Religious Gospels.
However, it is kept in mind that the commonalities between Simon and God are not total, and that there are restrictions to looking at Master of the Travels simply as a Religious allegory. Save for Simon's two uncanny estimations of the near potential, he does not have the great relationship to God that Dinosaur has in Religious history. Although Simon is sensible often, his generating does not bring answer to the island; rather, his generating falls the region further into savagery and significant shame. Moreover, Simon passes away before he is able to tell the young boys the simple point he has found. Dinosaur, in compare, wiped out while growing his significant viewpoint. In this way, Simon—and Master of the Travels as a whole—echoes Religious thoughts and styles without building specific, specific commonalities with them. The novel's spiritual commonalities increase its significant styles but are not actually the significant key to interpreting the account.
Ralph and Piggy find the conch cover on the seaside at the begin of the novel and use it to call the young boys together after the failure distinguishes them. Used in this ability, the conch cover becomes a highly effective mark of civilization and acquire in the novel. The cover properly controls the boys' events, for the boy who supports the cover supports the right to discuss. In this consider, the cover is more than a symbol—it is a real boat of politics authenticity and democratic energy. As the region civilization erodes and the young boys come down into savagery, the conch cover shed its energy and affect among them. Rob grip the cover really when he discussions about his place in killing Simon. Later, the other young boys overlook Rob and toss gems at him when he efforts to strike the conch in Jack's stay. The boulder that Roger comes onto Piggy also crushes the conch cover, signifying the decline of the civil thought among almost all the young boys on the region.
Piggy's Glasses
Piggy is the most sensible, logical boy in the collection, and his eyeglasses show the energy of technology and mental enterprise in community. This outstanding value is clear from the begin of the novel, when the young boys use the contacts from Piggy's eyeglasses to aim the sunshine and begin a fireplace. When Jack's seeker raid Ralph's stay and take the eyeglasses, the savages properly take the energy to create fireplace, causing Ralph's collection dependent.
The Indicate Fire
The signal fireplace uses up on the hill, and later on the seaside, to appeal to the sea of generating delivers that might be able to recovery the young boys. Therefore, the signal fireplace becomes a measure of the boys' relationship to civilization. In the outset areas of the novel, the truth that the young boys manage the fireplace.
Ralph is the running, charming character of Master of the Travels. Decided the chief of the young kids at the outset of the novel, Rob is the major associate of get, many, and effective control in the novel. While most of the other young kids at first are anxious with enjoying, having fun, and preventing work, Rob models about developing sheds and looking at ways to increase their possibilities of being rescued. For this reason, Ralph's energy and effect over the other young kids are safe at the outset of the novel. However, as the collection slowly succumbs to savage intuition over the course of the novel, Ralph's location reductions precipitously while Jack's soars. Gradually, most of the young kids except Piggy leave Ralph's collection for Jack's, and Rob is remaining alone sought after by Jack's group. Ralph's responsibility to many and values is highly effective, and his primary wish rescued and come back to the community of parents. In a feeling, this energy gives Rob a significant success at the end of the novel, when he molds the Master of the Travels to the earth and requires up the spot it impaled on to protect himself against Jack's seeker.
In the previously areas of the novel, Rob is incapable to recognize why the other young kids would give in to starting intuition of blood lust and barbarism. The look of the seeker chanting and moving is baffling and distasteful to him. As the novel continues, however, Rob, like Simon, comes to understand that savagery is available within all the young kids. Rob is still established not to let this savagery overwhelm him, and only quickly does he consider becoming a member of Jack's group to keep himself. When Rob tracks a boar for at first, however, he activities the pleasure and enjoyment of blood lust and assault. When he attends Jack's food, he grabbed away by the madness, dances on the advantage of the collection, and requires part in the getting rid of Simon. This direct know-how of the nasty that is available within him, as within all people, is terrible for Rob, and it falls him into lethargic lose hope for some time. But this know-how also helps him to forged down the Master of the Travels at the end of the novel. Ralph's account stops semi-tragically: although he rescued and come back to many, when he encounters the naval specialist, he weeps with the stress of his new know-how about our being ability for nasty.
The strong-willed, egomaniacal Port is the novel's major associate of the thought of savagery, assault, and the wish for power—in shorter, the antithesis of Rob. From the outset of the novel, Port needs energy above all other things. He is mad when he shed the political choice to Rob and consistently forces the border of his subordinate place in the collection. Beginning on, Port keeps the feeling of significant propriety and conduct that community instilled in him—in point, in classes, he was the chief of the choirboys. The new he activities a pig, he is incapable to cut it. But Port soon becomes enthusiastic about looking and spends himself to the process, artwork his experience like a barbarian and providing himself over to blood lust. The more savage Port becomes, the more he is able to management the sleep of the collection. Indeed, apart from Rob, Simon, and Piggy, the collection generally follows Port in launching off significant discipline and adopting assault and savagery. Jack's like of specialist and assault are intimately attached, as both let him to experience highly effective and exalted. By the end of the novel, Port has discovered to use the boys' worry of the person to management their behavior—a note of how faith and superstition altered as devices of energy.
Whereas Rob and Port have at other stops of the array between many and savagery, Simon is on an entirely different airline from all the other young kids. Simon signifies a type of natural, religious human being rewards that is greatly attached with characteristics and, in its own way, as primal as Jack's nasty. The other young kids leave significant conduct as soon as many is not there to encourage it upon them. They are not innately moral; rather, the person world—the chance of treatment for misdeeds—has programmed them to act. To an amount, even the somewhat civil Rob and Piggy are merchandise of public health, as we see when they engage in the hunt-dance. In Golding's perspective, our being wish toward many is not as greatly seated as our being wish toward savagery. As opposed to all the other young kids on the region, Simon functions not out of waste or waste but because he thinks in the normal value of values. He functions please toward the youngsters, and he is the first to recognize the issue presented by the person and the Master of the Flies—that is, that the huge on the region is not a real, bodily person but rather a savagery that lurks within each people. The sow's brain on the spot signifies this plan, as we see in Simon's perspective of the brain communicating to him. Gradually, this plan of the normal nasty within all people are as the significant summary and middle issue of the novel. Against this plan of nasty, Simon signifies a in contrast plan of critical human being rewards. However, his intense hard at the palms of the other young kids indicates the lack of that good between a tremendous variety of nasty.
Rob – The novel's character, the twelve-year-old British boy who decided chief of the number of young children marooned on the region. Rob work to organize the boys' operate to make a small many on the region until they would rescue. Rob signifies human being beings' civilizing thought, in contrast to the savage thought that Port represents.

Jack – The novel's villain, one of the old-young children trapped on the region. Port becomes the chief of the seeker but wants for complete energy and becomes progressively crazy, crude, and terrible as the novel continues. Port, successful at adjusting the other young children, signifies the thought of savagery within people, in contrast to the civilizing thought Rob signifies.

Simon – A shy, susceptible boy in the collection. Simon, in some methods the only normally "good" individuality on the region, functions please toward the young children and is willing to use for the good of their area. Moreover, because his drive seated in his heavy sensation of connectedness to characteristics, Simon is the only individuality whose sensation of values does not seem to made by area. Simon signifies a type of normal rewards, in contrast to the loads of nasty of Port and the values of many showed by Rob and Piggy.
Read an in-depth research of Simon.
Piggy – Ralph's "lieutenant." A whiny, mental boy, Piggy's inventiveness regularly results in technology, such as the make shift sundial that the young children use to tell time. Piggy signifies the medical, logical area of many.
Roger – Jack's "lieutenant." A vicious, terrible old boy who brutalize the littluns and gradually killings Piggy by moving a boulder onto him.
Sam and Eric – A couple of twin babies strongly allied with Rob. Sam and Eric are always together, and the other young children often cure them as 1 business, contacting them "Samneric." The effortlessly excitable Sam and Eric are a piece of the collection known as the "bigguns." At the end of the novel, they drop sufferer to Jack's treatment and coercion.
The Master of the Travels – The name given to the sow's brain that Jack's company impaled on a spot and erects in the do as an providing to the "beast." The Master of the Travels comes to show the primordial intuition of energy and harshness that take management of Jack's group.
Plot Overview / Summary
In the center of a warp speed war, an airline evacuating a number of students from England is chance down over a left exotic region. Two of the young kids, Rob and Piggy, discover a conch cover on the seaside, and Piggy knows it used as a horn to call the other young kids. Once constructed, the young kids set about electing a chief and creating a way to rescued. They choose Rob as their chief, and Rob appoints another boy, Port, to be in charge of the young kids who will look food for the complete collection.
Ralph, Port, and another boy, Simon, set off on a trip to examine the region. When they gain, Rob reports that they must light a indicate fireplace to appeal to the interest of driving delivers. The young kids triumph in stimulating some expended wooden by concentrating on sunshine through the contacts of Piggy's specs. However, the young kids pay more interest to enjoying than to checking the fireplace, and the fire easily immerse the do. A large swath of expended wooden uses up out of control and one of the newest young kids in the collection vanishes, presumably having used to driving.
At first, the young kids enjoy their life without grown-ups and spend much time playing in the water and doing offers. Rob, however, gripes that they should be keeping the indicate fireplace and building sheds for housing. The seeker fall short in their try to get a crazy pig, but their chief, Port, becomes progressively preoccupied with the act of looking.
When a deliver goes by above one day, Rob and Piggy observe, to their fear, that the indicate fire—which had been the hunters' obligation to maintain—has used out. Mad, Rob accosts Port, but the seeker has just come back with his first eliminate, and all the seeker seem gripped with an unusual madness, reenacting the follow in a kind of crazy show up. Piggy criticizes Port, who visitors Piggy across the face. Rob hits the conch cover and reprimands the young kids in a conversation designed to fix obtain. At the conference, it easily becomes clear that some of the young kids have started to become fearful. The lowest young kids, known as
"littluns," stressed by problems from the beginning, and more and more young kids now believe that there is some sort of person or huge hanging out on the region. The old young kids try to influence the others at the conference to think rationally, asking where such a huge could possibly cover during the normal. One of the littluns indicates that it conceals in the sea—an idea that
terrifies the complete collection.
Not long after the conference, some government air carriers practice a challenge high above the region. The young kids, sleeping below, do not see the boasting signals and explosions in the atmosphere. A parachutist drifts to the planet on the signal-fire hill, expended. Sam and Eric, the twin babies liable for enjoying the fireplace in the evening, are sleeping and do not see the arachutist area. When the twin babies awaken, they see the substantial outline of his parachute and listen to the unusual flapping tones it makes. Considering the region person is at hand, they hurry again to the stay in fear and review that the person has assaulted them.
The young kids manage a looking trip to search for the huge. Port and Rob, who are progressively at possibilities, take a trip up the hill. They see the outline of the parachute from a range and think that it looks like a huge, disfigured ape. The collection supports a conference at which Port and Rob tell the others of the sighting. Port says that Rob is a coward and that he should be eliminated from office, but the other young kids usually election Rob out of power. Port angrily operates away down the seaside, contacting the entire seeker to become a member of him. Rob rallies the staying young kids to make a new indicate fireplace, now on the seaside rather than on the hill. They respect, but before they have complete the process, most of them have ended up away to become a member of Port.
Jack reports himself the chief of the new group of seeker and organizes a look and a severe, habit slaughter of a sow to solemnize the situation. The seeker then decapitates the sow and spots its brain on a sharp spot in the marketplace as a providing to the person. Later, experiencing the soft, fly-covered brain, Simon has a dreadful perspective, during which it seems to him that the brain is communicating. The style, which he imagines as from the Master of the Travels, says that Simon will never avoid him, for he is available within all men. Simon faints. When he awakens, he goes to the hill, where he encounters the expended parachutist. Comprehension then that the person does not is available on the surface but rather within each individual boy, Simon vacations to the seaside to tell the others what he has seen. But the others are in the center of a severe revelry—even Rob and Piggy have became a member of Jack's feast—and when they see Simon's shadowy number appear from the marketplace, they fall upon him and eliminate him with their simple hands and tooth.
The following day, Rob and Piggy talk about what they have done. Jack's seeker strikes them and their few readers and takes Piggy's eyeglasses in the process. Ralph's collection vacations to Jack's stronghold in a try to make Port see reason, but Port purchases Sam and Eric linked up and quarrels with Rob. In the producing challenge, one boy, Roger, comes a boulder down the hill, getting rid of Piggy and breaking the conch cover. Rob slightly is able to avoid a bittorrent of warrior spears.
Ralph conceals for the rest of the nighttime some time to the following day, while the others look him like a pet. Port has the other young kids kindle the do so as to smoking Rob out of his camouflaging spot. Rob continues to be in the do, where he understands and eliminates the sow's brain, but gradually, he is required out onto the seaside, where he knows the other young kids will soon appear to eliminate him. Rob breaks in physical weakness, but when he looks up, he encounters a Indian naval specialist position over him. The officer's deliver recognized the fireplace warp speed in the marketplace. The other young kids arrive at the seaside and stop in their monitors at the look of the specialist. Impressed by the perspective of this number of bloodthirsty, savage kids, the specialist demands Rob to describe. Rob overcome by the knowledge that he is safe but, considering what has occurred on the region, he starts to be sad. The other young kids begin to sob as well. The specialist changes his again so that the young kids may fix their composure.
William Golding was born on May 19, 1911, in Cornwall, England. Although he tried to produce a novel as beginning as age 12, his mother and father advised him to analysis the natural sciences. Golding followed his father and mother's needs until his second season at Oxford, when he improved his aim to British materials. After finishing from Oxford, he labored quickly as a movie professional and home, authored composition, and then became a schoolteacher. In 1940, a season after England became a member of Community War II, Golding became a member of the Elegant Fast, where he offered in control of a rocket-launcher and took part in the attack of Normandy.
Golding's knowledge in Community War II had a unique influence on his perspective of human beings and the evils of which it was competent. After the war, Golding began again training and began to produce stories. His first and best achievements came with Master of the Travels (1954), which eventually became a top seller in both England and the Joined Claims after more than 20 marketers declined it. The novel's sales permitted Golding to stop working from training and give himself absolutely to composing. Golding authored several more stories, especially Pincher Martin (1956), and a play, The Metal Butterfly (1958). Although he never printed the common and crucial achievements he experienced with Master of the Travels, he stayed a well-known and recognized creator for the sleep of his lifestyle and was given the Nobel Reward for Literature in 1983. Golding passed away in 1993, one of the most heralded authors of the second 50 percent of the last hundred years.
Lord of the Travels shows the account of a number of British schoolboys marooned on an exotic region after their airline is chance down during a war. Though the novel is fantastic, its search of the idea of human being nasty is at least partly based on Golding's knowledge with the real-life assault and violence of Community War II. Free from the regulations and components of many and community, the young children on the region in Master of the Travels come down into savagery. As the young children splinter into groups, some work quietly and work together to manage order and get common goals, while others digital rebel and get only anarchy and assault. In his illustration of the tiny realm of the region, Golding shows a greater symbol of the basic human being fight between the civilizing instinct—the wish to respect regulations, work fairly, and act lawfully—and the savage instinct—the wish to get incredible power over others, act selfishly, scorn significant regulations, and enjoy in assault.
Golding has a relatively basic composing design in Master of the Travels, one that eliminates extremely graceful expressions, prolonged information, and philosophical interludes. Much of the novel is allegorical, indicating that the character types and products in the novel implanted with outstanding value that sends the novel's middle styles and thoughts. In portraying the various methods in which the young children on the region accommodate their new area and answer to their new independence, Golding considers the large array of methods in which people answer pressure, change, and pressure.
Readers and experts have considered Master of the Travels in greatly various methods over the years since its distribution. During the 50's and Sixties, many parts of the novel thought that Master of the Travels dramatizes the record of many. Some thought that the novel considers basic spiritual difficulties, such as unique sin and the characteristics of good and nasty. Others acknowledged Master of the Travels through the concepts of the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, who shown that our being brain was the site of a continuous challenge among different impulses—the id (instinctual needs and desires), the ego (the mindful, logical mind), and the superego (the feeling of mind and morality). Still others taken care of that Golding authored the novel as a critique of the politics and public companies of the Western. Ultimately, there is some abilities to each of these different parts and understanding of Master of the Travels. Although Golding's account restricted to the microcosm of a number of young children, it resounds with effects far beyond the range of the tiny region and considers problems and concerns widespread to our being knowledge.

LAKELAND | You can give Gov. Rick Scott an earful today as he serves you strawberry shortcake at Tigertown.
LAKELAND | You can give Gov. Rick Scott an earful today as he serves you strawberry shortcake at Tigertown.
Or you can tell him what a great job he's doing as he sells programs.
Scott will be at Joker Marchant Stadium today to participate in one of his workdays during a spring training game between Detroit and Atlanta.
Scott plans to greet fans, sell programs, work in the parking lot, sell strawberry shortcake in a Dairy Queen booth and work in the clubhouse.
The game starts at 1:05 p.m, but Scott is expected to arrive at 9:15 a.m. and stay until 3 p.m., said �Jackie Schutz, press secretary for the governor's office.
Bill Tinsley, the city's liaison to the Detroit Tigers, came up with the job ideas for Scott.
"It'll be fun and intense," Tinsley said Tuesday.
Three things Scott won't do at the game: Sell beer, throw out the first pitch or dance with the grounds crew.
Tinsley said it would be inappropriate for Scott to sell beer. He'll be selling programs when the first pitch is thrown and working in the clubhouse or selling strawberry shortcake while the grounds crew performs the YMCA dance on the field.
Scott was elected in 2010 on a platform of creating jobs. Since then, he's had 16 workday events, including work in a doughnut shop, a school cafeteria, a naval air station and a shrimp boat.
Scott also will participate in a news conference at 11 a.m. to discuss state funding for Spring Training.
"We're excited the governor recognizes the business of Spring Training and the job creation," Tinsley said. "The teams that have left have been a big financial blow to Florida."
Currently, there are 15 teams in Arizona and 15 in Florida. Florida had 20 teams in 1998, but since then the Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds and Texas Rangers have moved.
Scott's visit comes at a time when Lakeland city officials and the Detroit Tigers are considering another round of multimillion-dollar improvements to the complex that has seen a series of upgrades over the years.
A 360-degree concourse would allow fans to walk around Joker Marchant Stadium during a game. Additional canopies and reconfigured seating will provide more shade. A new, air-conditioned gift shop will allow fans to cool off on a hot March day. Upgraded minor league facilities would provide more up-and-coming players the opportunity to play year-round.
Commissioners are expected to vote on the city's portion of the funding this summer.
The city, county, state and Tigers will each contribute to the upgrades. Currently, the city pays $350,000 a year on its part of the debt for 2001 renovations.
That money comes from 15 percent of ticket sales at games, parking revenue and concession sales at Joker Marchant Stadium.
The county is paying $2 million over 15 years for the renovations. The county's portion comes from a portion of a bed tax, which is a levy imposed by the county on hotel stays.

"In light of what happened, unfortunately, a 2014 school shooter exercise was added," said Peterson.
"Let's just hope we never need to use it, that'd be the best scenario," said Commissioner Bill Berg. "Those are difficult times – tough to plan for."
Watonwan County Board received a request from Roger Anderson to build a drainage tile across County Road 101. The entire cost of the renovation, as well as a $500 fee paid to Watonwan County is required for the permission to build a crossing under a county road.
"The report you submitted is very thorough and very organized and that makes our job easier when we see that," said Commissioner Scott Sanders.
The Watonwan County Board approved the request unanimously.

By Thomas Ferraro and Richard Cowan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top Democrats in the House of Representatives unveiled a broad proposal on Thursday to curb gun violence that mirrors the one offered last month by President Barack Obama, including a ban on semi-automatic assault weapons.
But it remained unclear if the proposals will be put to a vote. The House Republican leadership has said it doesn't intend to bring legislation to the floor until the Senate has acted, and there are doubts the Senate will pass gun control legislation.
"We know it's going to be tough, but we also know this is important," said Mike Thompson, chairman of the 12-member House Democratic Gun Violence Prevention Task that drafted the proposals.
Opponents led by influential and well-financed pro-gun groups charge that new restrictions on firearms would violate the right to bear arms.
Backers disagree. They argue that while Americans have the right to own guns, the government has the responsibility to impose restrictions for the public good.
There has been unprecedented public support for tougher gun laws in wake of the Connecticut school massacre in December that killed 20 children and six adults.
In addition to outlawing semi-automatic assault weapons and imposing limits on high-capacity ammunition clips, the House Democrat package, like one advanced by the White House, would require that all gun buyers be subject to background checks and provide for improvements in mental health services.
At this point the only gun-related proposal with much bipartisan support is the one requiring universal background checks.
The new package was announced on the second day of a three-day retreat by House Democrats that featured a visit by the president. He suggested that despite opposition by gun groups, many individual gun owners favor new restrictions.
"A majority of responsible gun owners recognize that we can't have a situation in which 20 more of our children or 100 more of our children or 1,000 more of our children are shot and killed," Obama told the meeting.
"There are common sense steps we can take," Obama said, "and we should not shy away from taking those steps."
Vice President Joe Biden, who led the effort to craft the White House proposals, told House Democrats on Wednesday that they have an obligation to step up and take action.
"I don't want to hear about 'Well, we can't take it on because it's too politically dangerous,'" Biden said. "There's an overwhelming consensus about the need to act."
Biden acknowledged that members of Congress who backed a 1994 ban on assault weapons - which expired in 2004 - faced a voter backlash that may have cost many of them their jobs.
"I'm here to tell you the world has changed since 1994," Biden said.
A bipartisan group of senators on Thursday offered legislation expanding access to mental health professionals and improving the quality of mental health care in the United States.
The group, led by Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Republican Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri, noted that people experiencing severe but undiagnosed psychological disorders are at risk of committing violent acts at a rate 15 times higher than those receiving treatment.
The powerful National Rifle Association has led the charge against stricter gun laws but has agreed with those who have called for improvements in mental health treatment.
It strongly condemned the Democratic proposals on Thursday. "Congress should instead focus its energies on the things that will actually keep our families and communities safer - prosecuting criminals who misuse firearms; securing our schools; and fixing the broken mental health system that keeps dangerously ill people on the street," the group said.

Can You Automate Patent Processing?
from the that-seems-fraught-with-problems dept
"The greatest success of PATExpert has been to initiate the change of the paradigm currently followed in patent processing services from textual to semantic."It would be great if someone could explain that in plain English, because it sounds like gibberish trying to sound intelligent. But, back on point, it's hard to see how any "automated" system would actually help in the process of approving patents. Considering how many mistakes are made and bad patents allowed through, I'd worry that automating the process is only likely to create significantly more problems.

It was more about your comment about a reunion in the next stage. I, unfortunately, have had to deal/still dealing with suicide. I lost my wife to it, my daughter, her mom. As you said, the doubt about not doing enough, the wonder of why someone does it is not something that easily goes away. Somehow I don't think it ever will. The answer will never be known.As far as seeing/hearing something that makes you sad, I don't think that's depression, that's just human nature. Depression is something on a whole different level I think. It's something that consumes you every minute of every day. I've felt that before in my life but I fought my way through it and ending it all was not something I ever thought about. I'm not sure how bad it has to be for someone to kill themselves but it isn't the answer. There is help out there.On a lighter note, happy birthday Rob.
I just wanted to make something a little more clear as it may appear I have had more tragedy than I have. It was only my wife that I lost, the mother to my daughter. Sorry if there was any confusion.
I can't believe this Rob,I had no clue=why don't I know this?My gosh makes the killer sound like a pikerhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbcIjj1-obg

Make Baby's Room Safe
Page Content
Article Body
Every home is different, and no checklist is complete and appropriate for every household, however use this checklist to help ensure that the bedrooms in your home are safer for your child.
Your Child's Bedroom
Changing table
Never leave your child unattended. Keep supplies within arm's reach and always use the safety belt to help prevent falls. Try to keep a hand on your child at all times, even when using the safety belt.
Use cordless window coverings in all homes where children live or visit. If this is not possible, make sure drapery and blind cords are tied up high with no loops. Loose cords can strangle children so remember to check the cords in all rooms to make sure that they are out of reach.
If you use baby powder, pour it out carefully and keep the powder away from baby's face. Published reports indicate that talc or cornstarch in baby powder can injure a baby's lungs.
Reduce the risk of
sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
. All healthy babies younger than 1 year should sleep on their backs at nap time and at night. The safest place to sleep is in a crib with a firm mattress with a fitted sheet. Infants should never sleep in an adult bed or on a couch. Keep pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, and stuffed toys out of your baby's crib. They can cover your baby's face, even if she is lying on her back.
Don't hang anything with strings or ribbon over cribs. Keep
cords well away from the crib and make sure your baby cannot reach any window cords.
Use a crib that meets current standards. It should not have a drop side or any raised corner posts or cutouts where loose clothing could get snagged and strangle your baby. Also, the slats should be no more than 2-3/8 inches apart and the mattress should fit snuggly to prevent entrapment.
Tighten all the screws, bolts, and other hardware securely to prevent the crib from collapsing. Only use hardware provided by the manufacturer.
Other bedroom items
Keep night-lights away from drapes or bedding where they could start a fire. Buy only
night-lights that do not get hot.
Smoke alarms
Install smoke alarms outside every bedroom (or any area where someone sleeps), in furnace areas, and on every level of your home, including the basement. Buy alarms with long-life lithium batteries. Standard batteries should be changed every year. Test alarms every month to make sure they are working properly.
Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors
Install CO detectors on each floor of your home. CO is a toxic gas that has no taste, no color, and no odor. It comes from appliances or heaters that burn gas, oil, wood, propane, or kerosene.
Window guards.
Make sure window guards are secured to prevent a child from falling out the window.
Toy chest
The best toy chest is a box or basket without a lid. However, if it has a lid, make sure it has safe hinges that hold the lid open and do not pinch. The chest should also have air holes just in case your child gets trapped inside.
Humidifier or vaporizer.
Use a cool-mist humidifier or vaporizer to avoid burns. Clean it according to manufacturer instructions to avoid bacteria and mold growth.

The Watoto Children's Choir made its first of five tour stops in Tuscaloosa on Wednesday bringing the message of salvation through Jesus Christ through song, dance and testimonies.
TUSCALOOSA | The lights went out.
Thirty seconds passed in complete darkness, then a red light shone.
In the light, two boys appeared, shirtless and wearing leopard-print baggy pants and bushy headdresses.
They leaned backward onto their hands, their torsos arched upward, and began kicking their bare feet into the air in a coordinated dance. Seconds later, the sanctuary at Valley View Baptist Church exploded into green, red, yellow and purple lights, and children with heavy African accents dancing and singing praises to God.
The Watoto Children's Choir made its first of five tour stops in Tuscaloosa on Wednesday bringing the message of salvation through Jesus Christ through song, dance and testimonies.
The Watoto Children's Choir was started in 1992 and is made up of orphans from Uganda who were child soldiers or whose parents have been murdered in war, died of HIV/AIDS, poverty or unknown diseases. The purpose of the choir is for the children to act as ambassadors to the world, teaching people about the plight of Africa's orphans and the message of the Gospel.
One by one, children stepped forward on the stage. A stage light illuminated each of them as they took turns telling how they became orphans."My mother abandoned me in the hospital when I was born," a boy said.
"My dad was killed when I was 5 years old," a girl said. "My mother died that same year. I had no relatives to take care of me and I felt alone."
"After my parents died, my relatives didn't want to look after me," a boy said.
"My entire family was killed," a boy said. "I remember being so hungry. I thought about food all the time. I was so lonely and hungry that I wanted to die."
Another child stepped into the light and said, "In moments like these, we looked to Jesus."
A song ensued. The light voices of children filled the sanctuary.
"In the dark of night, you are my light," they sang. "I am not alone ... Lord, you lift me up and hold me close. I am not alone. You're a friend like no other. You've become the air I breath. Jesus, more than anything, you are the life I hope to lead."
Brian Katongole, the group leader of the choir, said the orphans live in three Watoto villages in Uganda where adults care for them, provide them with an education and minister to them. The villages house 200,700 children and also
widows who are HIV-positive.
"Our mission is to rescue orphans, raise leaders from these children and rebuild a nation," Katongole said. "Most of these children have lost their parents from HIV/AIDS, which is the greatest threat in Africa. Also, many of their parents have died from unknown diseases.
There is no more war in Uganda, he said.
"The war where the LRA (the Lord's Resistance Army) rebels with Kony as their leader attacked and killed villagers stopped in 2006. But it left behind so many orphaned children and child soldiers," Katongole said.
"It's quite challenging to rehabilitate child soldiers. We use ministry because we feel that it is an issue of the soul. We do continuous trauma counseling until they can forgive themselves and regain their humanity. They feel so bad because they were forced to kill their own families by beating them to death, shooting them, or biting them to death. Biting their families to death is what the rebels forced them to do."
According to the Watoto website, more than 20,000 children in Uganda have been abducted and forced to become child soldiers.
Ashley Platt, a 27-year-old Tuscaloosa resident who attended the performance, said she thought the choir was incredible.
"Definitely an awesome ministry," she said. "Just to hear the stories of the kids and the broken worlds they come from and to now see the smiles on their faces ... it's a humbling experience."
Anyone interested in helping the Watoto Villages or the choir through donations, sponsorship of a child or by visiting one of the villages, go to www.

Miracle, no one killed
Caribbean Airlines jet is seen broken at Cheddi Jagan International airport outside Georgetown. A packed Caribbean Airlines jet carrying 163 people crashed and broke in two Saturday as it landed in Guyana at night, injuring several passengers but killing no one. The Boeing 737-800 overshot the runway and burst through a perimeter fence after arriving at Georgetown's Cheddi Jagan airport just past midnight from New York. The front of the plane snapped off and it stopped meters from a deep jungle ravine.
