UNA-USA's Global Classrooms Presents DECORUMTwo days at the United Nations changed the lives of students from John Adams High School forever.
Decorum, a documentary produced by UNA-USA, shows how these students from Queens, NY, were empowered and inspired through the Model UN program. In a competition bringing together students from across the globe – they took their new life skills and knowledge of the world across the bridge to Manhattan to work as ambassadors for two days at the Global Classrooms International Model UN Conference.
The students represented Sudan at the conference – a country with complex problems needing international solutions, no small feat for this young group. Watch all three episodes and follow their journey. (Total run time 20 minutes.)
Episode 1: Prep And Circumstance
Episode 2: Practice Makes Perfect
Episode 3: Coalition
Over the years, Global Classrooms has become a premiere international education program offering Model UN. Model UN is an academic simulation of the UN that promotes leadership skills and understanding of international affairs and world cultures. Over 500,000 students participate in Model UN programs each year. During the Global Classrooms International Model UN Conference 140 schools, 2,500 students, and 300 teachers participate. Students are assigned different nations to represent in New York City. For more information on Model UN, visit www.unausa.org/globalclassrooms.

The World First Wander: 9 travel blogs we loved this week
Welcome to the last World First Wander of 2015! As always it's a compilation of our favourite travel blogs and articles from the last week or so, compiled, as always, by Tristan Rothwell. In case you didn't get the gist of things by now, he scours the internet for the very best stuff so you don't have to.
Christmas is a slightly quieter time of year for us here at World First. It's the hiatus of calm before the bookings storm that New Year brings each year. January, as I am sure you can imagine, is the busiest time of the year for us so we're glad of the chance to slow down a little in the run up to it...
Dreaming of a white Christmas?
Aren't we all? Unfortunately, in the UK it's a rare event, even if all we need for it to be official is one flake of snow to land at any number of specified locations around the country. Mind you, that's hardly enough to send us reaching for the snow poles. So for those of us who dream of proper, deep, powdery, white stuff at Christmas time, the only thing to do is to head for a snow resort. But which one? It can be a minefield deciding where to go for a ski holiday, however, with a little help from our first post this week you may be able to find the one that's right for you! And if you don't mind going to a place you've never heard of, read on and check out 10 great ski resorts you probably haven't heard of.
Looking for snow? Try Scotland
If there's anywhere that's likely to have snow over Christmas it's Scotland. Unlike our home county of Devon - where the warmest Christmas day ever was recorded back in 1920 - Scotland does have a good chance of a few flakes. So if you don't want to hit the slopes then how about A weekend in Edinburgh? Sounds just lovely…
All we want for Christmas is...
…to switch off! Mind you, it can be tricky, especially as we constantly monitor our social media channels for tweets from travellers in need of help. It's a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week responsibility and we take it very seriously. Even so it's nice to have the chance to unwind properly during a break. And if you're the sort who needs a little help, this next post is for you. Check out How to switch off during the Christmas break.
Travelling with a baby
One of our friends jetted off to Florida last week for a Christmas break with her 6 month old son Harry. She went alone and will be meeting Dad later. For some that might be a scary proposition, but it's not for well seasoned traveller, the Travel Hack, who travels regularly with gorgeous George. She's written a post - Tips for flying long haul with a baby - that some mums (and dads) will appreciate if they are going to be flying with a new born for the first time this Christmas.
I'd rather be....
Surfing! Hitting the beach at Christmas used to be for the hardy few, but these days you can expect to find a few people in the line up even on Christmas day. Surfing is a fast growing sport and everyone wants to try it. If that includes you, then make 2016 the year you do. This next post has some great images (including one of one of our favourite Cornish beaches - Porthcurno – can you spot it?) as well as some good advice on making the most of your water time. Flighthub's surfing guide for Canadians travelling abroad is well worth a read - even if you are not Canadian! The same rule apply to us Brits too!
When travel insurance comes in handy
Yes, we know we are bound to say that, but the truth is that when you travel things can go wrong. That's when you need your travel insurance policy to get you out of trouble. And, as if you needed a little help to imagine a few going wrong scenarios, this next post highlights a few of the things that can go wrong when you travel. It might not be your usual glossy travel post but When travel goes wrong certainly tells it like it is.
Looking back at 2015
As we get to the end of the year it's nice to look back at the previous year's travel. It's exactly what some of our favourite bloggers have been doing lately, starting with Rambling Man who posted his 2015: a year in walking, with a peek at adventures on the Wainright's, the London Orbital Path and the Thames Path.
By the time Big Ben calls in the end of 2015 Vicky Flip Flop will have visited 23 countries this year! That's quite an achievement! You can read all about her times in Japan, California and Israel in My 5 best adventures from 2015.
The last of our highlights of 2015 comes from Lauren at Never Ending Footsteps, who starts off her review of the year with a great photo of the same Cornish beach – Porthcurno - we talked about earlier. Check out the colour of the water in 15 travel highlights from 2015!
That's it for this week. We hope it gave you a little travel inspiration for 2016.
Finally, it's time to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at World First Travel Insurance.
Until 2016…

We listen to K-love almost exclusively in our family and pretty much every morning after I drop my husband off at work and am driving to the hospital to spend some time with N, some guy named Jud Wilhite comes on and starts talking about breaking things. He quotes Charles Spurgen who said, "Whenever God means to make a man great, he first breaks him into pieces." Wilhite goes on to reference 1 Peter where it says that we all suffer trials to purify and strengthen our faith as gold is purified and strengthened in a fire. Wilhite encourages listeners that if we are being broken it is actually a good thing and we should trust the process and not give up because God is breaking us to remake us into someone He can use to fulfill His purposes. And every morning when I hear this, I respond– out loud, "I'm pretty much as broken as I get God! Can we get to the remaking part now?"
This inevitably startles H who starts crying from the backseat as if to punctuate the idea of suffering.
Our family has endured a lot over the last 14 months and the trials just seem to keep coming. I personally haven't been well since September with colds giving way to sinus infections and a little bit of the stomach flu thrown in for good measure. My dear husband has been battling similar illnesses, chronic migraines and difficulties at work. N has had several colds and bacterial infections on top of the larger issues with her omphalocele and lungs and we seem to be stuck in a state of limbo, unable to really move forward in her treatment.
And there is always the normal life stuff that gets tough some times:
How do I buy a month's worth of groceries for a family of 3 with $100…
Do we pay this bill or that bill or buy diapers?
The car is out of gas and it's a week until pay day…
Can we get assistance?
No! You make too much money!
But our daughter….
No! You make too much money!
But we can't pay our bills……
No! You make too much money!
The roof is caving in— literally! (and figuratively!)
I pray and pray and pray and ask and ask and ask for healing, for peace for a break and God seems silent and at times maybe even absent. I feel like I understand David when he wrote in Psalm 22; "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? 2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest."
But then I look back on the last 14 months.
And I see God's provision: We have a roof over our heads and there is always food in the fridge and pantry and even though on paper the debts far outmatch the money coming in, we have managed to pay all our bills, handle the repairs, keep gas in the car, and even paid off three credit cards and spoiled our girls for Christmas.
I see His providence: He has brought the right people into our lives at the right time to help care and nurture us through this season whether it is the nurses, doctors and social workers or unexpectedly moving us to a new church that provided new friends and support that we didn't know we needed.
I see His grace and His unmerited favor: I spent a lot of the Christmas season feeling very angry about the situation we are in. Angry that we were spending another holiday season in the hospital, angry that I wasn't getting my way. And that anger led to a weakening of my faith and depletion of my joy, but God showed me His grace. He gave our pastor a word at church last weekend regarding someone who had become so steeped in negativity about their situation that they had let it steal their joy and that God was calling to them to repent and to set their eyes back on Him and I sat there and wept because I knew it was me that Pastor Matthew was talking about and that God still saw me and was still calling me to Him. That He wasn't going to let me sit in my despair and anger anymore.
I see His mercy: Throughout all of N's illnesses she is still with us, in the community of families affected by omphaloceles there are a lot of families who aren't able to say the same. God has not yet answered the prayer for a miraculous healing of her omphalocele or her lungs but He has kept her from having the heart defects, physical abnormalities and other life threatening issues and complications that tend to go along with having an omphalocele. He has saved her life more than once due to issues with her lungs including a mucus plug that occurred after a trach change and caused her to stop breathing completely.
And, as David goes on to say in Psalm 22: "Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises.4 In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them.5 To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not put to shame."
When the Israelites called out to God to save them, He always came through. It very rarely looked the way they wanted but everything they endured ended up changing them for the better. Which has me thinking, maybe the breaking down and remaking aren't two separate steps that we have to complete but rather being remade is a natural byproduct of submitting, in our suffering, to God and His infinite wisdom. In doing so we are allowing Him to strip away the pieces of us that are shattered and worn and sharp and harmful to us and others and what is left is who God intended us to be.

Anal Infection (Perianal Fistula, Anal Furunculosis) is a progressive disease describing the condition of a chronic lesion around the anus, triggered by pathogenic bacteria or fungi, but caused by a weakened immune system (to fight off those bacteria and fungi).
Note that Anal Infection is not the same as "anal gland" or "anal sac" problems, which describes the condition of an inflammation in or around the anal glands due to a lack of natural evacuation of accumulated toxins.
The anal glands are one of the body's "detox chambers" that occasionally naturally evacuate excessive toxin levels (those toxins that the body can expel, many it cannot). This is why it can only be considered foolish when ordinary allopathic vets recommend dog owners to pay them to remove the anal glands during surgery!
When the anal glands no longer can evacuate naturally - either because they have been foolishly surgically removed, or because of an avalanche of toxins in industrial pet "food", or because ill-advised dog owners manually express the glands - then this can cause an inflammation in the anal area that is different from the Anal Infections discussed here.
Anal Infections can form deep and draining ulcers that can make this condition painful and tough to heal. Conversely, the inflammation from excessive toxin build-up causes itching and is easy to heal:
- Let the anal glands do their job naturally
- and don't cause an avalanche of toxin build-up by feeding industrial crap (some uninformed call it "pet food") and/or by administering ill-advised lab medicaments.
Who Suffers Anal Infections
Unfortunately, German Shepherds are one of the main breeds to suffer Anal Infections (one study accounted for 84% of the dogs diagnosed). To some this seems to suggest that Anal Infections are an inherited defect.
However, the larger number of glands in the perianal area when compared to other breeds, and the way the tail is set and carried, both promote growth of bacteria and fungi. So indeed this may be the only reason for the increased incidence of Anal Infections among German Shepherds.
Primarily male German Shepherds are affected, and mostly between the age of 5 to 8 years.
While most GSDs easily cope with this greater pathogenic attack, ie they don't suffer Anal Infections, dogs with a particularly weak immune system can contract Anal Infections.
Warning Signs
- frequent chewing or licking the perianal area
- scooting the anal area over the ground
- perianal ulcers or bleeding or red or black spots
- foul-smelling discharge in the perianal area
- pain when lifting the tail
- clearly different potty routine
- stool looks clearly different
- lethargy
- losing appetite
- losing weight
- change in behavior because of discomfort or pain
Preventing Anal Infections
The warm, moist area around the anus and under the tail make an excellent environment for bacteria and fungi to multiply up to the point of an Anal Infection if the immune system is too weak to fight off the pathogens.
As already mentioned above, only dogs with a weakened immune system will develop Anal Infections, while healthy dogs easily cope with an abundance of pathogenic attacks (else dogs wouldn't even exist today).
Again, a weak immune system is caused by:
- feeding toxic industrial crap "pet food"
- administering ill-advised lab medicaments, foremost immunosuppressants (steroids, NSAIDs, etc)
- over-vaccinating or wrongly vaccinating
- insecticides in flea and tick spot-ons
- environmental intoxication from carpet adhesives, floor cleaning detergents, yard pesticides, etc.
Likely in this very order. So make sure you avoid all that, in order to prevent Anal Infections (and so much more).
In addition, avoid interfering with the function of the anal glands as one of the body's "detox chambers": Do not have them surgically removed, and do not manually express them. Either of that can lead to inflammation which then will attract many more bacteria and fungi and so can cause an Anal Infection too.
Once started, Anal Infections almost always lead to chronic conditions, not least because ordinary allopathic vets treat them wrongly:
- with ineffective "broad-spectrum" antibiotics
- and/or with the "steroid-sparing" Cyclosporine or the immunosuppressive corticosteroid Prednisolone.
So make sure you avoid ordinary allopathic vets as well.
Be aware that a well-nurtured and not intoxicated canine or human organism does not get sick easily, no matter how many pathogenic attacks the body has to resist!
Evolution made dogs even more resilient than people: historically the dog gene pool adapted/improved twice yearly, the human gene pool only once every 20+ years.
Other than that, if you worry too much that your dog might contract an Anal Infection, you may regularly cleanse the anus area with a wipe and strong antiseptic spray . But then make sure you wash your hands thoroughly with an antiseptic lotion before you attend to your dog's anus, and afterwards again.
Speaking of this, a funny note: We once had a Scottish neighbor, she said she wipes her dog's anus after every walk. But then she said she takes her dog in the bed. Thus, at least her strict anus cleansing regiment was a way to somewhat limit her own infection risk.
Treating Anal Infections
Once an Anal Infection occurs, treatment may need to be repeated often, as with all chronic infections. Note that an infection can only become chronic if a bodily disorder facilitates repeated infection.
Thus real cure of Anal Infections requires that you cure the underlying disorder first. This disorder is the weakened immune system, weakened by one or more of the factors mentioned above.
If instead you choose to visit an ordinary allopathic vet, treatment of your dog's Anal Infection will follow their standard blanket treatment. That standard treatment typically looks like this:
- first visit: ineffective "broad-spectrum" antibiotics (CASH)
- second visit: immunosuppressive drugs like Cyclosporine or the steroid Prednisolone (More CASH)
- third visit: they recommend surgical removal of the anal glands! (Holiday CASH)
Now just see above again why each and every of these treatment attempts is foolish and harmful.
After you have addressed the underlying immune system disorder the way laid out above, your further home treatment should look like this:
- Spray antiseptic wound wash on a lint-free clean cloth and move from the outer yet seemingly unaffected areas to the inner clearly affected area in one straight line. Then use a new piece of cloth and repeat, now moving on a different imaginary straight line. Repeat until you've covered the 360 degrees around and towards the anus. The direction of the movements must be straight lines, towards the anus. And use a new piece of cloth each time. Both is critical! Do not spread the bacteria from the clearly more affected area to the yet seemingly unaffected areas!
- After this cleaning ritual, spray the antiseptic wound wash a final time directly around the dog's anus area. Leave to dry. Do steps 1 and 2 three times a day. This is critical for bactericidal and fungicidal efficacy!
- Continue this daily treatment until at least one full week after the infection seems to have resolved. Again this is critical!
As you may not use the same piece of cloth twice, you will need to use many pieces of lint-free cloth per cleansing session, hence a huge number of cloths over a three-week treatment period, yes.
After each session (three times a day), burn the bunch of cloths you used or dispose of them in a separate sealed bin bag. Do not wash and reuse or deposit them where a dog may nuzzle.
Wash your hands thoroughly before and after each treatment with an antiseptic lotion .
Dog owners who overlook any of the many above points tend to argue "nothing helps". But this does help if you precisely follow the suggested treatment, ie including that you address the underlying immune system disorder first.
The only exception where the above treatment plan would not work, and I do not know of any such case, is where:
- the dog's immune system has been weakened so much that it cannot recover
- and the particular bacteria or fungi on the dog's anus are chlorhexidine-gluconate resistant (the active ingredient in Synergy Lab's antiseptic).
Such resistance is unknown, hence why I can confidently say the above home treatment protocol does provide cure.
A final note: It should be obvious that a dog with an Anal Infection shouldn't be allowed on your bed or the couch. Unless you have just cleansed the anus area with a strong antiseptic spray , the dog's anus area will be populated with nasty bacteria all the time, not just during an Anal Infection.

Superhydrophobic polystyrene nanofiber membranes have potential to separate micron scale water droplets from organic due to their hydrophobicity and small pore openings. Polystyrene nanofibers were electrospun into flat sheets and cylindrical filter membranes. The fibers were crosslinked to increase strength and reduce solubility in diesel fuel. The filters were tested and the filtration efficiency was compared to their non-crosslinked counterparts. The optimal electrospinning conditions to create superhydrophobic nanofibers were found to be 20 wt. % PS fibers at 1 mL/hr. under a current of 20kV and at a distance of 20 cm away from the ground. It was found that crosslinking the fibers had a positive effect on the filtration performance with the average efficiency being 91% compared to 80% for the non-crosslinked fiber mats.

Good afternoon. I am pretty sure your kids had a good week of school just by seeing them come and go in the morning/afternoon. I am also pretty sure that they will sleep well this weekend. Mr. Walsh and I were very pleased at how well the first few days went. Reports from staff only strengthen our observations. Thanks to you parents for getting them ready for the opening of another year.
We are looking revive our Volunteer Steering Committee here at GMS. Although the opportunities are not as plentiful as they are across the street, our staff could benefit from time-to-time in having some of you join us for special events, activities, projects, etc. If you are interested, please let me know.
Speaking of wonderful volunteers, our PTA is holding both a free movie night on September 29 at the Village Field and will be holding their major fundraiser on October 14 at Meadowbrook. See the two attachments for more details.
If your son or daughter is interested in joining the Lego League/Robotics Club this year, the first meeting will take place next Wednesday from 2:20-4:30; they will meet again on September 8. Bring a snack and a friend! This time of the year is our competition season. Good bye, Animal Allies and hello, Hydro Dynamics. Check out this video if you'd like to know more about the challenge.
Homework Group will begin on Monday, September 11, 2:30-4:00, in our media center. Staff will be on hand to assist your child in anyway.
As you know, it is now school district policy that volunteers need a background check/fingerprinting before working with our students. There are three upcoming times next week for you to come in and complete the process at the SAU: Wednesday (1:00-3:00); Thursday (4:00-6:00), and Friday (1:00-3:00). Be sure to bring a photo ID.
In an effort to further ensure the safety of all students, we conduct various drills throughout the school year. They include: Lockdown (staff lock themselves in their rooms to prevent an intruder from doing harm); Stay Put (typically when there is a medical emergency as students simply remain in their rooms while paramedics attend to the injured); Secure Campus (to protect students and staff from a concern outside of the school building); Evacuation (students and staff exit the building when the environment becomes unsafe); Reverse Evacuation (necessary for student and staff return the building when outside because of a dangerous situation near the building). Your child's safety is my number one concern.
Thank you and enjoy the long weekend with your families.

Vermont Teddy Bear Company
The company was founded under the following mission statement: "The Vermont Teddy Bear provides our customer with a tangible expression of their best feelings for their families, friends, and associates. We facilitate, communicate, and therefore participate in caring events and special occasions that celebrate and enrich our customers' life experiences.
Our products will represent unmatchable craftsmanship balanced with optimal quality and value. We will strive to wholesomely entertain our guests while consistently exceeding our external and internal customer service expectations.
The Vermont Teddy Bear brand represents the rich heritage of the "Great American Teddy Bear" begun in 1902. We are the stewards of a uniquely American tradition based on the best American virtues including compassion, generosity, friendship, and a zesty sense of whimsy and fun" (Wheelen & Hunger, 2004).
The company's operating philosophy was based on five simple, yet critical operating guidelines;
Our Customers-They are the foundation of our business Our Employees-They are our internal customers
Our Investors- They provide capital in good faith
Our Vendors-They provide a partnership for opportunity Our Community- They deserve our commitment to being ethical
Since the founding of the company, The Vermont Teddy Bear Company has experienced great success, however, starting in 1995, that all changed. Since 1995, the company has gone through major management turnover, a corporate name change, multiple operational changes, and a reversal of corporate identities.
The Vermont Teddy Bear Company couldn't settle on what they wanted to be known for. Mr. Sortino realized he couldn't lead the company to new, successful heights, so he elected to step down from the position of CEO and hire a replacement. Over the course of two years, the company changed CEO's on two occasions, and sales and profits continued to falter. The company altered its business plan to go away from the very popular, successful, "Bear-Grams" operating model to a less profitable retail business plan. With constant growth up to 1995, the Vermont Teddy Bear Company was a solid, efficiently ran corporation.
In 1997, the company changed CEOs for a second time in a two year period, and promoted Ms. Elizabeth Roberts to orchestrate a turnaround. She assumed the title of CEO and President, and was responsible for lowering expenses and improving profits. Ms. Roberts had the unenviable task of making difficult strategic management decisions concerning The Vermont Teddy Bear Company. Some of these decisions included things like the growth or demise of the retail industry, going overseas for materials, marketing and advertising, and product branding.
Elisabeth Robert has reflected on the enormous tasks to be accomplished. She wondered if she could successfully reposition her company and return it to profitability. The issues of external and internal factors would have to be addressed, and a strategic management plan would have to be implemented. The company lacked direction as a whole, and failure to correct the misunderstandings and lack of cohesiveness within the members of management will cause the Vermont Teddy Bear Company to continue its failures.
The first step in this process is the creation of an External Factors Analysis Summary. An EFAS is a way to organize the external factors into generally accepted categories of opportunities and threats, as well as a way to analyze how management is responding to those threats. The factors are weighted by...

Listen To A Vibe-y New Jam From Moose Blood
August is a pretty huge month for new releases in the alt scene: to name just a select few, we're set to get our hands on new discs from popcore tyrants The Amity Affliction, pop-punk-cum-metalcore legends A Day To Remember, and electropunk powerhouse Storm The Sky. But for those in the market for some vibe-heavy emo gold, next month's biggest offering is effortlessly the new Moose Blood LP.
Blush drops next Friday via Hopeless and UNFD, and thanks to the good folks kickin' it at Fuse, we've got a new jam to tide us over for one more week. "Sulk" is the third single to drop from the English quartet's tumblr-aesthetic-laden sophomore effort, following "Knuckles" and "Honey". We're certainly not in the business of jumping any guns, but based on the feels these three songs are giving us, we're pretty sure Blush is gonna blow Moose Blood right the fuck up.
"'Sulk' is about a family relationship," the band said in a press release. "It was one of the first songs we wrote for the record and we're so pleased with how the song evolved into what it is now."
Right after the band drop Blush, Moose Blood will trek their way across the country in support of Luca Brasi's 8-date headline run. The adventure kicks off in Canberra on Wednesday, August 17th, before the trio (Adelaide emo-punks The Hard Aches are also tagging along for the ride) hit Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Hobart.
Listen to Moose Blood's new jam "Sulk" below!

Do you know the codes that you are supposed to use when unlocking your phone? These codes differ from one phone to the other. These are the Smartphone unlock codes that you should be getting without making mistakes. You will get them on the internet from websites that deal with unlocking phones.
You have to master the codes if you are to succeed in unlocking your phone. After unlocking you can install more ringtones, themes and even wallpapers. With these, you will enjoy your phone to full capacity. I have now decided to unlock my phone. This is because I feel that it is not fair for me to continue paying higher fees while others who are using a different operator are paying less than a few dollars.
Why should I use the little that I am saving to cater for the expensive service provider? Do you know the Smartphone unlock codes? I will unlock the phone as soon as I get these codes. I know that I will lose the warranties but that is no big deal. If you would like to do the same then you should look for 'mobile prices in Denmark' (also known as 'mobilpriser i Danmark' in Danish) to compare mobile device rates from different countries so you can determine what the best option would be for you.

Mumbai: The Maharashtra education department will carry out a survey of all government-aided schools in the state to verify genuine and bogus students, after a project revealed inflated figures of 140,000 fake pupils on school rolls, an official said here on Thursday.
The fake students issue was placed before the cabinet on Wednesday by School Education Minister Rajendra Darda.
The pilot project was initiated in Nanded district over a period one year.
"We shall also raid the schools suspected to be inflating the number of students on their rolls," an official of the education department told IANS, preferring anonymity.
The education department has swung into action seeking details of the number of genuine students, the amount of grant applied for and allocated to the concerned schools and then determine the number of fake students, the official revealed.
While welcoming the government move, legislator Kapil Patil who represents teachers said: "We believe that this practice (of bogus students) could be more in rural and ashram (residential) schools than in urban centres where strict monitoring already exists," Patil said.
"Going by the Nanded report, it appears that the inflated number of students could be almost 20 percent," Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan told media persons Wednesday.
There are around 1.40 crore students attending aided schools across the state. For these, the government has a budgetary support of a whopping Rs.27,000 crore per annum.
A large part of this is spent on teaching and non-teaching staff salaries, students` benefits like free or subsidised uniforms, books and stationery and the mid-day meals.
"Inflated figures of students help the institutes extract more funds from the government, which could...run into several hundred crore rupees," the official explained.

Edwin Black's War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race: capsule reviewHitler was so impressed with American "eugenics" (a contrived term made up of the Greek words for well and born) that he sought to duplicate it in Germany. What began here as an organized campaign at the start of the 20th century was financed by Andrew Carnegie, and later by the Rockefellers and Harrimans, and based on Long Island, New York, at the Station for Experimental Evolution of the Carnegie Institution. The movement leader: a terrifying (my word) and sad (Black's word) zoologist named Charles Davenport, who intended to build a Nordic master race ... the SAT test was created by a "radical raceologist" committed to white superiority.

Blankets, a new graphic novel by Craig Thompson: reviewCraig Thompson's graphic novel Blankets is not a book to waste on conversion attempts. It's a treasure trove of image and word, to be savored by those in the know and neglected by those who won't appreciate its brilliance and beauty. Its length -- nearly 600 pages -- may seem daunting, but the pages whip effortlessly past: I read it in one night, virtually in one sitting, from about midnight to 3 a.m. It's a fast read, but Blankets is worth revisiting, if only to luxuriate in its astonishing imagery and pick up all the details you missed the first time when you were too eager to find out what happens next. Thompson's layouts are intricate and organic; instead of the rigid six- or eight-panel pages of standard comics, he varies the shape, size, even the borders of his panels, frequently achieving a collage-like effect that would simply be impossible in any other medium. Like the best comix stories, Blankets emphasizes the medium's exclusive strengths. Thompson's illustrations pack more beauty and power than much prose or poetry, and the frozen images allow the reader's gaze to linger, to examine, to climb inside the picture in ways that film cannot.

As a new Vintage edition of Mary Renault's The Friendly Young Ladies is published, Charles Taylor reassesses an early and surprisingly sophisticated story which wryly and effectively gives the lie to notions of determined sexualityElsie's inability to see the pair's relationship for what it was, according to Lillian Faderman's afterword, was shared by critics of the day. "I could not quite make out what was up with Leonora," said the critic for the English newspaper the Spectator. Though had Elsie been shrewder, she might have been just as confused. Leo and Helen have been together for seven years during which both have taken male lovers (as did Renault and her lifelong partner, Julie Mullard, during the initial years of their relationship). Renault wrote the book partly in response to Radclyffe Hall's lesbian novel The Well of Loneliness, whose dreary title pretty much summed up what she found so detestable about the book. Neither Leo nor Helen is much affected by guilt nor by the sense that their sexual tastes should settle down on one side of the fence or the other.
You've no doubt heard of it by now, but Diane Ravitch's important new book on the censorship of education in America The Language Police: How Pressure Groups Restrict What Students Learn is smartly reviewed by the New Republic's David Bromwich hereEven the most casual reader will detect the hand of the right-to-life and animal rights lobbies and maybe a patrolmen's benevolent association. A broader and more pervasive influence is the fundamentalist religious right. Test questions must "avoid any mention of fossils or dinosaurs." These topics -- one must say it again -- are forbidden, not just framed by a warning to handle with care. But how do you construct a social studies test without bringing up politics or religion? How to mention work, or employment, without trailing a fringe of a hint of its opposite, unemployment? The world in which the tests and textbooks are required to take place is not merely fictional. It is a world that has been methodically purged of reality.

I hesitated posting about Chuck Palahniuk's new "travel guide" to Portland OR because I might move there and don't particularly want to publicize it; but anyone who reads it and still decides to move there, would be fine with me anyway, I suppose...Unlike other books on the region, Palahniuk doesn't dwell on magnificent hiking trails or world-class wines. Instead, he points out that "to FBI experts who profile serial killers, the Pacific Northwest is 'America's Killing Fields,' because the people are so friendly and trusting. The wilderness is always nearby. It rains, and things rot fast." There's no mention -- thank God -- in Fugitives and Refugees of Portland's famous Rose Garden, though readers will learn how Rocky Horror virgins are deflowered at the Clinton Street Theater. And, he only brings up the city's famous bookstore (of course I mean Powell's) to tell readers about its resident ghost, and the human remains that were entombed in its pillar of books. If you aren't drawn to rotten apples and black sheep, this isn't the book for you. [review]

For Core 2 Duo: Foxconn P9657AA
The P9657AA is a Socket 775 motherboard for Intel platforms that targets the mainstream. At $99 it should be affordable for most users, yet it comes with decent features and will accept every Intel processor on the market today. There are two different models, the 8KS2H and the 8EKRS2H, the latter supporting additional RAID 5 SATA and two Firewire/1394a ports. Apart from that, the offerings are alike.
All three FSB speeds (533/800/1066) are supported, and you may install DDR2-667 or DDR2-800 memory modules of to 2 GB each. One of the SATA ports is available as an eSATA connector, which allows you to connect external hard drives easily. For add-in hardware there is 7.1-channel audio, x16 PCI Express for graphics, two additional PCI Express ports, and three 32-bit PCI slots for legacy cards.
This certainly isn't an enthusiast product, but it is a very robust and mature platform for those who intend to upgrade to an Intel system (preferably using Core 2 Duo).

Golden Vantage Range Hood Review
For those who do not know, Golden Vantage is a brand that has range hoods for everyone. With over 200 options, you will definitely find one that suits you. As you read on through this Golden Vantage range hood review, you will find that they offer a lot of bang for your buck. They make simple and clean range hoods. Options include wall mounted, island and under cabinet range hoods. They will freshen the smell and look of the rooms in your home.
Their products have an LED touch panel, which gives you all the power at your fingertips. They are also incredibly easy to use and make you feel like a professional in your kitchen. Noise is no issue, as their noise absorption technology is incredible. Your kitchen will remain a place to enjoy, not disrupted by the typical noise of a range hood. Their construction is also excellent, and they offer a lot of power. You don't have to worry about cleaning either, as they are very easy to clean. Quality? No problem at all either.
Golden Vantage Euro Style Range Hood
|Stainless Steel
The GVAIS2-36 Island Mount range hood is only one of the many options they offer. It is a euro style, contemporary range hood. The materials primarily used are tempered glass and stainless steel. Both offer high quality, and both look incredible in a variety of environments. There are four 2-watt LED lights for all your illumination needs. The powerful blower motor is enough power for most ventilation tasks.
When the unit is not in use, there are non-return air flaps. They keep the heat from escaping. As far as maintenance goes, there are anodized aluminum filters. Instead of replacing them, you simply need to clean them in a dishwasher. Operating the entire thing is as easy as it gets, and you use a three-speed touch control panel for it.
You might need someone with more experience to install it, as it is a little complicated. It is also 68 pounds, so you will need an extra person. You have a choice of installing it as either ventless or vented. There are instructions, that make things easy as far as installing goes. However, many users have stated that the instructions aren't of any real use.
The 840 cubic feet per minute centrifugal blower is amazing. It offers enough power for both medium, and heavy ventilation tasks, and it runs at less than 65 dB. The noise is low enough to make any room you mount it in still enjoyable, even with the range hood on.
Rounding up the Golden Vantage range hood review
For the money you spend on this range hood, you will get excellent value. High quality stainless steel is excellent, especially at this price, and you also get incredible air flow. Since a range hood is not a minor investment, you will be happy to know that there's a three-year manufacturer warranty. As far as installation goes, try to mount it somewhere around 36" to 40" above your range, and you're good to go. What are you waiting for?

from the book Web Marketing for the Music Business by Tom Hutchison
One safe way to preserve the value of an artist's music is to provide 30-second samples instead of letting visitors download or listen to the entire song. No one wants to make and distribute copies of 30-second segments of a song. And the sample gives potential customers an idea of whether they might like the song or not. If the artist's music is featured for sale on one of the major online download services, they usually provide 30-second samples, and it may not be necessary to create them for the artist's site. Visitors can be redirected to one of those e-tailers to preview the music.
To provide samples on the artist's web site, they must first be edited from the full song. The idea is to select a sample that best represents the aura of the song, not simply start at the song's introduction and take the first 30 seconds. One general rule to follow is to capture the end portion of a verse and most of the first chorus. At Nashville Independent Music, John Haring tated, "We've found that offering 45 seconds of a song starting from the 20 second point forward captures most of a verse and chorus. We use this standard when creating clips in our automated
process for nashvilleim.com. We also automatically create a one second fade-in and a four second fade-out for better listenability."
Creating Music Samples from Songs
The process of creating samples can be accomplished using any music editing software such as ProTools, Cakewalk, or one of the less expensive audio editing programs available on the Internet such as Audacity or Gold Wave. From the songs selected for sampling, simply open the song in an editing program and listen to various 30-second sections until you have found a section that best represents the overall song. Then follow these simple steps:
In most audio editing programs, the running time is listed either at the bottom or the top of the song file. The graphic representation is amplitude modulation, with loud parts of the song showing up with large bars and quieter section showing shorter bars. With the highlighting tool, you can select 30 seconds and preview it to determine its suitability.
Once a 30-second sample has been selected that is a good representation of the song, highlight it and copy it to a new file for further editing.
The new file will contain the sample filling up the entire running time of the file—in this case, 30 seconds. At this time, you may want to preview the sample again to verify that it is the best possible representation of the song. If it meets those requirements, it still needs some editing.
To sound like a normal sample, it will need a fade in and fade out. These can be accomplished by highlighting first the beginning section of the song. This will be the area selected for a fade in, from silence to full modulation, so that by the end of the highlighted section, the song is playing at normal volume.
The larger the highlighted section, the longer the fade in (see Figure). Select an appropriate size section for the fade in and use the fade-in tool to reshape the sound. First, highlight the section for the fade in. The appropriate fade-in rate may vary depending on the song and may take some experimentation.
Repeat the process in reverse at the end of the sample so that it fades out to silence. This will permanently alter the sample so that no further manipulation is necessary, and the listener will not be required to make any adjustments. Without this editing, the sample would have abrupt entry and exit points and not seem natural.
Then save the file as an MP3 file and upload it to the server. As each web visitor clicks on a link created to the MP3 file, the browser's player will open the file and play it on the visitor's computer. The alternative is to embed the player controls within the web page so that the visitor can click on them to access and listen to the sample. Most web design software programs include multimedia controls. This will allow the web designer to place more than one sample on a page.
When setting up the music file on the web page, the options will generally include the following:
Do you want this to play automatically when the page opens, or have the visitor select play?
Do you want the song to play once, several times, or loop continuously?
Do you want embedded user controls?
The advantage of having the user's browser open the default media player is that the music will continue to play even if the user moves on to another web page. If the controls are embedded in the page, chances are that the music will quit when the user continues through the web site. However, if there are music files on several pages and all are set to open in the default media player when the page loads, several songs may play at the same time, confusing the visitor.
When including several music samples on one page, it is best not to have any of them play automatically, so that visitors can select if and when they want to listen. A page that automatically plays a sound clip when it's opened may delay the loading process and cause the visitor to wait or give up.

The solar electric system is ground mounted on a hillside above the golf course. It consists of 870 high-efficiency solar panels spanning a total of 17,610 square feet. The system's solar electric panels are expected to generate approximately 363,000 kilowatt hours of energy annually. Excess power generated during the day is banked by PG&E for credit towards future use.
The new solar power system allows Napa Valley Country Club to generate enough electricity each day to power over 57 average homes. It will spare the air nearly 105 tons of harmful greenhouse gases annually. Over the next 30 years, the air pollution saved will be equivalent to eliminating more than 6 million miles of driving.
The Napa Valley Country Club will enjoy free energy from the sun and thousands in utility savings many decades to come.Solar power napa, solar napa, napa valley solar, Napa Golf

In this video, you will learn several different dribbling techniques as well as when to use them in a game.
To learn more about the basics of dribbling, take a look at some of the previous videos in this series, taking you through everything you need to know to master your technique!
Watch this tutorial to learn about the speed dribble, the low dribble and the change of pace dribble.
Adam Simmons - "Long Rhode Home", "Piano Hop", "Tang-A-Lang"
Published by Alter K
Voiced by Xavier Gianni
In this video, you will discover different types of dribble. During games, you will have to adapt your dribble to your situation in order to move the ball along the court, protect it, or attack the basket.
You can use these three types of dribble: The speed dribble, The low dribble, and The change of pace dribble.
First, The speed dribble.
Push the ball far ahead of you by extending your arm toward the floor.
Dribble alternating between your left and right hands as you run after the ball.
You can use this dribble to move quickly but you shouldn't use it when facing an opponent as it leaves the ball unprotected which makes it easy to intercept.
Secondly, The protection dribble.
If you're dribbling with the right hand, extend the left leg and arm forwards to keep the defender away.
Dribble keeping the ball between your legs while moving backwards to protect the ball.
This dribble allows you to see what's going on by easing the pressure from a defender.
Thirdly, the change of pace dribble.
When you come up against a defender, lower your dribble to knee-level and take short, quick, jab steps
Draw in your defender, choose a direction then accelerate.
When you sprint, push the ball forward and drop your shoulder on your opponent's side to protect the ball.
You can use this dribble to surprise your opponent and attack the basket.
Practice these dribbles on your own so that you're comfortable with them during games. Over to you!

Millions must adopt changes
NEW YORK - By almost every measure, Saturday's Sunshine Millions was a success. Attendance at Gulfstream Park was 18,719, about 4,000 more than was hoped for, while the attendance of 17,108 at Santa Anita was right about what was expected. The racing was good, competitive, and entertaining. Four of the eight races were decided by a half-length or less, and the average win payoff was slightly more than $9. And, the event gave racing people something to talk about at a time of year when the only big racing event people really talk about, the Kentucky Derby, is still more than three months away.
Without question, the Sunshine Millions earned a repeat engagement next year. But, if the Sunshine Millions is to have legs beyond that, some changes need to be made.
As it has been presented, the Sunshine Millions is a "competition" between California-breds and Florida-breds. In practice, this competition is biased from the start. Florida-breds make the vast majority of their starts against open company, because there are hardly any races carded that are restricted to Florida-breds. Meanwhile, California-breds make the vast majority of their starts in races restricted to California-breds, because there are so many races like that available to them. Because California-breds have so many opportunities to run in restricted races and Florida-breds don't, Florida-breds are always going to have an advantage in a competition like this.
Truth be told, no one except for a tiny group of breeders cares that Florida-breds outscored California-breds 56-16 on Saturday. Calling this "competition" is painfully contrived.
But the biggest problem in restricting the Sunshine Millions to California-breds and Florida-breds is that it limits the sources for top horseflesh. Granted, Florida and California have been the birthplaces of some of the greatest Thoroughbreds. But, one of the reasons why the NTRA Great State Challenge, which was only born last month, has a substantial advantage over the Sunshine Millions is that the Great State Challenge welcomes a top horse who was bred in Kentucky, Maryland, and other states. By restricting itself to only two sources, the Sunshine Millions is limiting its chances to attract a really good or even great horse. And it takes that really good or great horse to help establish a series like the Sunshine Millions.
One solution could be to open up the competition and make it Team Gulfstream vs. Team Santa Anita. All horses stabled at Gulfstream and Palm Beach Downs by a certain date would be eligible for Team Gulfstream, regardless of where the horse was foaled. Likewise, all horses stabled at Santa Anita (and perhaps Hollywood Park) would be eligible to represent Team Santa Anita. By doing this, the Sunshine Millions would now be open to almost every top horse in training. Moreover, racing fans who have no rooting interests in state breeding programs may well become passionate about rooting for the team representing their favorite winter racetrack.
Of course, one drawback to this idea is the negative impact it could have on established races run close to event day, like the Santa Monica, which was also run on Saturday at Santa Anita, or Sunday's Palos Verdes, or this weekend's Strub and San Antonio. Perhaps the answer is incorporating these races into the series, and rewarding them with healthy purse boosts from the money that was earmarked for the races they would be replacing.
One other thing must be done. If the Sunshine Millions is on national television next year, the telecast has to run long enough to show every race in the series. I know it's easy for me to spend Frank Stronach's money, and it was his money that bought the hour on NBC on Saturday. But, showing only three of the eight races didn't do right by racing fans, and didn't do right by this fledgling series, either.
If I were Stronach, I would be sure that whatever network carries the Sunshine Millions next year makes better use of the time than NBC did Saturday. I thought the photo at the end of the Turf was a tough one to call, even though the telecast crew emphatically called it, correctly as it turned out, and it was unconscionable that NBC made viewers wait through commercials and pre-race warm-ups for the Classic - for more than six minutes - before offering the result. Also absurd was NBC's decision to cut to a useless head-on shot down the backstretch in the Turf. Of course, this is all stuff that NBC has done before in its never-ending quest to alienate the hard-core fan. For that, throw the network another Eclipse Award.

Broadmoor Skyview is the perfect finned family hauler
During the 1950s, you couldn't get a Cadillac station wagon, but you could get a ride in one — if you went to the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. Now, there's an opportunity to put one of these rare Broadmoor Hotel Cadillac nine-passenger station wagons in your garage.
Beginning in the 1930s, the Broadmoor Hotel had small fleets of custom Cadillacs built to carry hotel guests through Colorado sights such as Garden of the Gods and up Pikes Peak. By the 1950s, these Cadillacs looked like a cross between a station wagon and an ambulance because, in fact, that is what they essentially were. The Broadmoor contracted Superior Coach of Lima, Ohio, to build them on a commercial chassis, and Superior used many of the body features on these people haulers that it had already established for its funeral coaches. Because of their Plexiglas transparent roof panels, these Cadillacs built for the Broadmoor were labeled Skyview limousines and could carry up to nine passengers in Cadillac style.
One of the six Cadillac Skyview limousines built in 1959 — serial number 59Z083683 — will be offered at Bonhams' March 9 auction at Amelia Island, Florida. The car carries a pre-sale estimate of $175,000-250,000, a pretty lofty price for being able to carry the family in the comfort and style of a wildly finned '59. However, all of these eccentric 1959 Cadillac professional cars are very valuable, and where do you get another '59 Skyview?
For information on the sale, go to Bonhams.com/Amelia.

London Theatre Reviews
By CLIVE HIRSCHHORN
Stockard Channing leads a talented cast in this flawed but entertaining production.
As playwrights have repeatedly discovered, sending their characters on overnight visits to town or country houses reaps dividends. Back in the 20s, Noel Coward had a hit with
Hay Fever
. In the 30s George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart wowed Broadway with
The Man Who Came to Dinner
. And striking a more serious note in the 60s were Edward Albee's
A Delicate Balance
and Harold Pinter's
The Homecoming
. In 2004, David Eldredge successfully adapted the Danish film
, a recriminatory drama that centered around a celebratory 60th birthday.
Four years after
, the Bush Theatre presented
Alexi Kaye Campell's
, in which a formidable matriarch invites her two sons and their girlfriends to an informal birthday dinner in her country home. It's now being revived in the West End as a vehicle for the American actress
Stockard Channing
, who was last seen on the London stage in 1992 in John Guare's
Six Degrees of Separation
She plays Kristin, a published art historian and fervent 1960s political activist around whom the play revolves. As originally written, Kristin was British. She's now morphed into an American ("by birth, not by choice"), thereby necessitating some rewrites that work well enough but without going too deeply into her political origins. What hasn't changed, though, is the superior moral high ground she adopts when her views are challenged or those held by others differ from her own.
First to arrive is her son Peter, an international banker (a taker rather than a giver, as Kristin puts it) and his rather vanilla, deeply Christian fiancée Trudi. Next up is Claire, a successful soap actress who drives a Porsche and wears a Japanese number that costs £2000. She has come from London without Peter's unemployable brother Simon, a would-be writer who arrives after everyone has gone to bed.
As Kristin monstrously hurls insults at the two young women, scoring cheap points as she dismisses their beliefs and lifestyles, she raises rudeness and insensitivity to an art form. Not that she shows much compassion for her sons either. The family dynamic reaches a climax when Peter and Simon confront her at different times for not even mentioning them in a memoir she has just published.
There are of course deep-rooted reasons for Kristin's behaviour, and they go way back to her divorce. She was in Florence with her very young sons at the time, and did nothing to regain custody of them when they were taken from her by her ex-husband. Living with the burden of this guilt clearly resulted in self-hatred, which in turn hardened her into the lonely monster she's become.
Also present at this dinner from hell is Hugh, an outspoken, camp old queen who holds the same political beliefs as his host and probably knows her better than anyone else. There's a scene the play desperately needs in which he sets out to explain Kristin's behaviour to Peter but which, unfortunately, is interrupted and goes for nothing.
The raison d'être of
Jamie Lloyd's
laid-back production is clearly Channing, and she's terrific. Watching her navigate her way around Campbell's razor-edged text, or just listening – as in a scene in which her son Simon describes an experience he had at age 12 when he was picked up by a man in Genoa – is to appreciate an actress working at the very top of her form.
As Trudi,
Laura Carmichael
slowly peels off layers of her character not initially in evidence, while
Freema Agyeman
also brings out unexpected facets in Claire.
Desmond Barritt
does the best he can with the marginalsed stereotype Hugh, and
Joseph Millson
, playing both Peter and Simon (obviously never seen together), gives each brother a convincing personality of his own. Adding to a flawed but entertaining evening is the excellent set by
Soutra Gilmour

Birds will have hands full containing Prescott
PHILADELPHIA » Let's see if we've got this right. The Eagles drop 51 points on the Broncos and their top-rated defense, heal over the bye week and emerge as — get this — threepoint road favorites against the Cowboys, who likely will be without three of their top four players for the second straight week.
Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, in his 16th year in the NFL, doesn't calculate point spreads. But he intimated this one might have something to do with the skills of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who "can threaten the whole field.
"I don't know if I've ever seen a better thrower on the run than Dak Prescott," Schwartz said Tuesday. "He can throw scrambling to his left. He can throw scrambling to his right. There are not many quarterbacks that can do that. He can threaten the
whole field on the run. He doesn't have to reset the throw, and he's very accurate on the run. There are a lot of mobile quarterbacks and a lot of guys that can throw from the pocket. There are a lot of guys that can run read option. But I think what really makes him stand out is that he can throw on the run. And for a young player, he makes very few mistakes, and that's impressive."
The Cowboys (5-4) are on the verge of becoming irrelevant. A loss to the Eagles, who own a leagueleading 8-1 record, and Cowpoke fans will want to sue Jerry Jones, who has threatened to sue the league.
Prescott at least gives the Cowboys a smidgen of hope.
Prescott is 18-7 quarterbacking the Cowboys, which puts him in the rarified company of Roger Staubach, a franchise-best 20-5 in his first 25 starts. For the sake of comparison, Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is 15-10 in the same stretch.
Prescott is among just four players since the NFLAFL merger to account for at least 50 touchdowns in their first 25 career NFL games, having thrown for 39 touchdowns and rushed for 11.
The 6-2, 229-pound Prescott has used his running back size and wheels this year to rank second on the Cowboys in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, the latter with five.
It was Prescott's JUGSpowered arm that first got the attention of Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich, who during a predraft trip to Philly, marveled about the Xs and Os show put on by the prospect.
"I had very, very high grades on Dak in every aspect," Reich said. "I thought his college tape was really, really good. I really liked the way he threw the ball, his timing and anticipation. When he came in here and we sat down and interviewed him, it was really high in all areas. Then you could just tell he had that X-factor as far as natural leadership ability. So I enjoyed getting to know him a little bit."
The Cowboys (5-4) have won three of their last four games largely due to the spark provided by Prescott. He threw for five touchdowns and rushed for two to help make it happen. And he didn't commit a turnover.
Last Sunday Prescott gave the Cowboys, who played without suspended running back Zeke Elliott and All-Pro left tackle Tyron Smith, to a 7-0 lead over the Falcons with an 11-yard run.
Prescott then was sacked eight times, losing two fumbles as the Falcons scored 27 straight points. Adrian Clayburn dropped Prescott six times, killing Smith replacements Chaz Green and Byron Bell. It was the most sacks by one player in a game since Osi Umenyiora dropped 6 on Winston Justice of the Eagles in 2007.
Three of those sacks of Prescott came on thirdand-eight or more, one on fourth down and another on second down late in the game.
Schwartz explained the sacks resulted from the same formula preferred by the Eagles: Stop the run, creating pass situations, beat the blocker, hold pass coverage long enough for the rush to get there and finish the pass rush.
"All those things go hand in hand for us to have a good day at rushing," Schwartz said. "You can't just assume we'll have a good day rushing based on what (the Falcons) did last week. I'm sure they'll work really hard to shore up some of their spots. They know us pretty well. We know them pretty well."
This week marks the second game of a six-game suspension for Elliott, who leads the Cowboys with 793 rushing yards and nine total TDs.
Smith is iffy, at best, to play against the Eagles due to a groin issue.
Linebacker Sean Lee, the Cowboys' best defensive player, will miss this week with a hamstring strain sustained early in the last game.
Wentz leads the NFL with 23 TD passes and his 104.1 passer rating is the best in the NFC. He's thrown four or more touchdowns in three games this season, most recently in the 51-23 humbling of the Broncos. Did we mention the Eagles traded for Jay Ajayi, the every-down running back who would help any team travel well on the road?
And yet the Eagles are just three-point favorites.
It must be the Dak Prescott factor.
"Some guys will scramble and you have time to chase a guy in coverage or to plaster your coverage or chase him and get an extra guy to him," Schwartz said. "With Prescott, he doesn't give you that opportunity. The ball could come out at any time, and you have to be ready for it at any time."

Death of the Cool (2011)
In his youth Edison Banks was the lead guitarist for the popular alternative rock band 'Structural'. Now, however, at age 44, his life seems an affront to his exciting past. Leaving the glamor and excitement of his old druggy rock star days behind, Edison now lives in a small beach town, where he drives around by himself in his expensive convertible popping pills and living in his memories. When his wife leaves him, Edison's loneliness becomes too much to bear. After a few failed attempts to connect with the locals, he finally befriends an enthusiastic young fan, Lyle, at a bar. Edison's fight to retain his youthfulness ultimately turns sour when Lyle shatters his trust…

The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) announced two new Physical and Link Layer Working Group (PLL WG) projects:
- a Common Electrical Interface (CEI) 25 project, which will address electrical interfaces of 20 to 25+ Gbps for both chip-to-chip and backplane applications. The published CEI Implementation Agreement (IA) enables backplane interfaces to operate up to 11 Gbps. This is the first step in addressing the Ultra High Bandwidth requirements presented by the OIF¹s Physical Layer User Group at the Forum¹s third quarter meeting in July 2005.
- an implementation agreement targeting 120 km reach lengths utilizing alternate signaling transmitter technology. This effort extends the work the OIF completed earlier this year in the published "Interoperability for Long Reach and Extended Reach 10 Gbps Transponders and Transceivers" document. The new implementation agreement will support ITU-T Study Group 15 work on future application codes. This technology will allow carriers the ability to leverage/extend the lifecycle of existing fiber and provide support for
bandwidth-intensive applications such as video.
In addition, the OIF Board announced the following election results:
- Joe Berthold (Ciena) was re-elected president;
- Monica Lazer (AT&T) was re-elected to the board and named the
- John McDonough (Cisco Systems) was re-named vice-president
- Steve Joiner (Finisar) was re-named vice president of marketing
- Hans-Martin Foisel (Deutsche Telekom) and Stephen Shew (Nortel) were newly elected to the Board of Directors.

Vordel, the XML Web Services security company announced today at the SHE security seminar that international food materials group, Sdzucker AG is the latest customer to deploy its award winning VordelSecure XML gateway product. Vordel, in conjunction with leading German security solutions firm, SHE Informationstechnologie, implemented a Web Services security solution to enable Sdzucker introduce increased business efficiencies into its supply chain distribution and management processes.
Sdzucker chose VordelSecure to provide security and management for its XML-based connections to its logistics partners. This was key to the successful enhancement of the companys business intelligence reporting system based on linking its internal SAP platform to the tracking systems of its freight-forwarders, using SAP Exchange Infrastructure. As well as protecting Sdzuckers SAP systems from malicious or unauthorized data, VordelSecure also met the requirement to deliver a full transactional audit log and display data traffic on a real-time monitoring console.
Klaus Koddenberg, VP Networks and Systems at Sdzucker AG said "Since we created a Web Services environment for our distribution partners to access our internal reporting systems, it was essential that we implemented a security solution capable of addressing the most exacting of security requirements.
With SHE and Vordel we have two world-class partners who delivered a high performance solution to secure this new business-to-business connection, without slowing down the connection or making it prohibitively difficult to connect.
Vic Morris, Vordel CEO, said We welcome the addition of Sdzucker AG as a customer and the opportunity to provide the security framework for their mission critical distribution channels.
Thanks to our SAP integration Sdzucker can now extract increased returns from their integration systems. The Vordel secured XML infrastructure enables Sdzucker to roll out additional business services to partners and customers on an ongoing basis without fear of security being compromised.
SHE Information Technology CEO, Thomas Kohler commented "This deployment is an example of how SHE is extending its security services to cover XML based communications. Working with Vordel we have been able to capitalize on the growing opportunities in this key area of the security market with major enterprises in Germany."
