Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
A video workshop for high school teachers; 8 one-hour video programs, workshop guide, and Web site; graduate credit available
Developing Writers: A Workshop for High School Teachers presents practical and philosophical advice for teaching writing, while examining issues every teacher faces — such as high-stakes assessments and dealing with differently abled students. Eight video programs feature teachers in diverse classrooms around the country who are helping their students grow as skilled and effective writers. Participants will observe how the teachers and their students work together to create writing communities. Professional writers will share their processes as they move from initial concepts to publication, and comments from researchers, theorists, students, and teachers add context. A workshop guide and Web site provide activities and additional information to help participants develop effective instructional strategies to bring back to the classroom.
Produced by Maryland Public Television. 2004.

Workshop 1. First Steps
This session provides an overview of the first steps teachers should take when working with student writers. The educators, researchers, and writers featured in the video programs talk about specific goals they share with their students, recognizing the local, state, and national standards that serve as a floor, not a ceiling, for their work. They also express the benefits and value student writers find as they grow as writers, communicators, and thinkers. Visits to classrooms throughout the country underscore their thoughts. Noted author Judith Ortiz Cofer leads the featured teachers in a writer's workshop activity focused on word triggers and their place in the processes of writing. Go to this unit.
Workshop 2. A Shared Path
What kind of atmosphere do students need to grow as writers? This session concentrates on the "hows" and "whys" that answer that question. The featured teachers talk about the physical set-up of a writing community, the importance of reading in a writing classroom, and their own roles as co-writers in the community, showing how these practicalities and philosophies actually work in setting up communities where trust and mutual respect are the hallmarks. In a writer's workshop, the teachers react in writing to Judith Ortiz Cofer's assignment: hiding and revealing through language. Go to this unit.
Workshop 3. Different Audiences
This session begins by examining the "self" most writers address, showing how the concept of writing for an audience is threaded throughout the dynamic and nonlinear processes of writing. From there, the session looks to a wider range of audiences, examining the demands the student writer encounters in addressing audiences in language arts and other disciplines, and audiences on other levels, such as those encountered in college and the job world. Classroom experiences show how writing community members think about, plan around, and address audience expectations. The teachers tackle the same theme for different audiences in a writer's workshop led by Judith Ortiz Cofer. Go to this unit.
Workshop 4. Different Purposes
Purpose directly relates to the form or genre selected to express writers' ideas. In this session, the teachers examine this relationship, presenting classroom examples of students working in many genres, including persuasive writing, memoir, and poetry. Their subsequent analysis underscores what students can learn by examining commonalities and differences among genres and the value of multigenre projects. In the writer's workshop, the teachers tackle this question as well, selecting a genre or a combination of genres to share vivid events from their lives. Go to this unit.
Workshop 5. Usage and Mechanics
This session focuses directly on key questions of grammar and mechanics: When should student writers and reviewers of student work pay attention to usage and mechanics? Does teaching grammar in context really work? Why should these things matter? Grammar experts add to the conversation, analyzing its role in communication and providing ways to bridge the connection between message and mechanics. In the writer's workshop, Judith Ortiz Cofer challenges the teachers to use only one sentence form to tell a story. Go to this unit.
Workshop 6. Providing Feedback on Student Writing
Student writing demands reaction — from both teachers and other members of the writing community. But what kind of interaction is most powerful and rewarding? The teachers, researchers, and authors tackle this issue in this session, talking about and demonstrating effective ways to conference and comment on student work and direct other members of the writing community to do the same. While offering great tips on structuring peer review, Judith Ortiz Cofer directs the teachers as they comment on each others' work during this session. Go to this unit.
Workshop 7. Learning from Professional Writers
What can young writers learn from those who make their living through writing? Educators, researchers, and noted authors consider this question, offering innovative ways to bring the voice of the professional into the classroom. Teachers show how professional works by favorite writers can be the seeds for engaging classroom activities, while authors talk about their own writing processes and writing heroes. Maxine Hong Kingston, Patrick Jennings, Margo Jefferson, Christopher Meyers, Amy Tan, Ruthanne Lum McCunn, and Tracy Mack appear in this session's video. Another noted author, Judith Ortiz Cofer, guides the teachers through an exercise triggered by a line from one of her favorite poets, Richard Hugo. Go to this unit.
Workshop 8. Writing in the 21st Century
Evolving technology has expanded the tools available to all writers. It has also opened new venues — with new requirements — for their work. How can teachers make the best use of these new resources? The teachers show some beginning steps they have taken to integrate technology into their instruction and their professional lives, and talk about the benefits and challenges evolving media present to them and their students. In the writer's workshop, Judith Ortiz Cofer leads the teachers as they reflect on the effect of technology in their lives. Go to this unit.

Walk through our doors and experience a place where:
Our Church has always been active in the Brighton community. In fact, our church houses many community events and organizations including: Heritage Christian Services, Nursery School, Lilac Children's Garden, Golden Link Folksingers, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, many support groups, Adirondack Mountain club, Rochester Dance Network, and Rochester Philatelic Association.
"Like the world around us, the Christian church, too, has its calendar of seasons, its circle of spiritual practices to shape and deepen our journey of faith. If we live into these seasons, our rhythms become Christ's rhythms; our lives become the Spirit's life, for the God who walks with us walks with us in time." – Rev. Brandi Wooten
In 2012, TCPC adopted a new structural model that is increasingly common in our Presbytery, the Seasons Model. Rather than having topically based committees, such as Worship, Mission, Christian Education, and Evangelism, that run indefinitely, TCPC is led in all of these same areas by Season Teams, which guide the church for a single liturgical season (i.e. – Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, etc.). In preparation for their leadership, these teams study scripture, work with Holy Spirit and each other to develop a specific theme for the season, and help direct the church using that theme.
During each liturgical season of the year, we have regular opportunities for hands-on mission, sharing the joy of our faith with the community, learning about Christ and our Christianity, and celebrating the special holy days of our faith. To see what's happening this season, see our online calendar, or follow us on Facebook.
If you're looking to serve Christ and the community through the church, being a member of a Season Team is open to both members and regular visitors, and participation in missions and events is open to all.

Visit Kalohóri (5kmW), at the mouth of the Gallikos River and the Kalohóri Lagoon and admire flocks of herons, pelicans, flamingoes and water buffaloes.
Towardsthe west (beyond the city's outskirts) you will come across the preserved wetland habitat of the Delta formed by Axios-Loudias-Aliakmonas Rivers. This 320 sq. km area (including the regions of Nea Ayathoúpoli and Alykés Kitrous in Pieria Prefecture), is habitat to more than 270 bird species, many animal species –including the famous Axios wild horses, and more than 500 plant species. The "Management Agency of the Axios-Loudias-Aliakmonas Delta" offers a free guided tour in the area, which is protected by the Ramsar International Convention and included in the "Natura 2000" network.
Your next stop is Panórama (15.5kmSE), one of the city's largest suburbs, built on the green slopes of Mt. Hortiátis. It offers a panoramic view of Thermaikos Gulf.
Photography: Giorgos Vitsaropoulos
Up next is Sindos (14kmW), Thessaloniki's Industrial Zone. The small hills on the plain are ancient burial mounds. A neolithic settlement with a cemetery of the geometric and archaic periods was discovered on one of the hills. Excavations brought to surface an impressive Macedonian tomb in Ayios Athanassios.
Another interesting place to visit is Thérmi (15kmSE). The excavations in Karabournáki have brought to light significant archaeological finds, thus strengthening the view that ancient Thérmi, an important Mediterranean harbour, was located in this area. The Thérmi mineral springs are brackish and are recommended for a vast range of medical conditions. The Thérmi Festival, featuring various cultural events, is definitely worth attending!
A yet interesting choice is the Holocaust anniversary, in October, on Mt. Hortiátis. Last but not least is Peraia (17kmS). This is a suburb by the sea with famous fish restaurants, whereas Nei Epivates, 18kmS, a Thermaikos seaside resort, is known for its picturesque houses and popular fish tavernas.

by Josh Engen
It's probably safe to say that Activision's Call of Duty franchise has transcended mere popularity and entered the level of worship shared only by a select group of religious figures. Thus, it's not surprising that the gaming industry was consistently gawking at Activision's booth during the E3 conference.
The problem is that the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 publisher hasn't been particularly forthcoming with new details about its flagship franchise, which means that game journalists are simply repeating the same information over and over. Occasionally Activision tosses a few new informational nuggets into the journalistic community, and sits back as they're reposted by every gaming site and social network on the internet.
This week Activision and Treyarch gave us a glimpse at the Black Ops 2 gameplay by showcasing two of the game's missions. Although they're placed firmly in Call of Duty's fast-paced universe, Treyarch is obviously taking some interesting liberties with Activation's flagship franchise.
The first was a presidential escort mission that's set in Los Angeles, just a few short blocks from where the E3 conference is taking place. Predictably, the highway is suddenly under attack by enemy aircraft and players are forced to leave their vehicles behind. Call of Duty fans, especially those who preferred Black Ops to Modern Warfare, will be happy to know that the action moves forward at an incredible clip punctuated sporadically by short quicktime events.
As the scene progresses, set pieces begin to crumble and the characters are forced to revise their plans a few times. However, even though it sometimes seems like the environment is taking its cues from player input, it's all an elaborate illusion. Typically, Black Ops' campaign, just like all previous CoD titles, is on rails. However, this isn't always entirely true.
At the end of the presidential sequence, the player finds himself in the cockpit of an FA-38 hover jet tasked with covering the presidential motorcade from above. Activision explained that they wanted to give players a sandbox experience by allowing them to complete this type of sequence in their own style of play, which means breaking away from its stringent rail system. More neurotic players can follow the motorcade very closely, while the more cavalier among us can haphazardly chase enemy fighters around Los Angeles. However, if you do decide to break away from the president's vehicles, they are left relatively unguarded, so you'll probably need to check in on them regularly.
Once we'd completed the escort mission, Activision switched things up and showed off what is probably the most surprising new element in Black Ops 2: strike force operations. This mode is a complete deviation from anything we've seen in the franchise thus far. Players will find themselves in command of a squadron of soldiers and mechanical units. Once the mode is in full sing, the player will be in charge of deploying units in a fashion reminiscent of a top-down RTS. However, after the units have been deployed players have the ability to seamlessly take control over the mechanical units and lead them into the fray. After the unit has been destroyed, players are returned to CoD's standard FPS viewpoint and can start the deployment process again, or enter the battle on their own.

Eating raw shellfish, especially oysters, may put you at risk for hepatitis A.
Bivalves such as oysters and clams filter large amounts of water when feeding. If shellfish are living in water that has been contaminated with stool containing the hepatitis A virus, the shellfish may carry the virus. People then may get it when they eat the raw or undercooked shellfish.
Raw shellfish also may carry other viruses and bacteria that can make people sick.
Not everyone who eats contaminated raw oysters or other raw shellfish will become sick. But to reduce the chance of getting sick, make sure that shellfish have been cooked thoroughly.

Eternal hockey question:
Do the Canucks' many moronic acts on the ice spark their fans' city-wide moronic acts off it, or vice versa?
Either way, you have to feel good that the dirty and stupid hockey team choked away its best chance at the franchise's first Stanley Cup in a manner almost as excruciating and embarrassing as a hater like me could script.
Unfortunately, the dirty and stupid Canucks didn't blow a three-games-to-none lead and a 3-0 lead in Game 7. That would've been sweet. The best.
But still, the dirty and stupid Canucks gagged a series in which they led two games to none.
And three games to two.
And had home-ice advantage for the final game.
AND got shut out.
And then suffered through the Boston Bruins' parading the Stanley Cup around the Canucks' ice in a series that turned on a Canucks cheap shot that finally earned a suspension after the NHL choked on so many other heinous acts.
Hope the Canucks got a look at Bruins goalie Tim Thomas, the Conn Smythe winner who was as perfect as the Canucks' $10 million head case at the other end was flawed. Luuuuuuuuser.
It might not have been my perfect mean-spirited ending, but it was good enough. Hope it hurts up there.
One thing I know for sure: It hurts the stupid and dirty Canucks a lot more than Patrice Bergeron's finger that cheap and gutless Canucks forward Alex Burrows bit in Game 1 of the series.
Of course, they rioted. They're the same fans who defend and rationalize suspendible acts by their "heroes.''
So, they rioted and set fires and broke windows, generally marauding about the city streets acting as moronic as their "heroes'' in uniform. One of the best cities in the world was getting torched by some of the biggest idiots in captivity.
Latest Sports
The Blackhawks came close to inflicting similar unspeakable pain on the Canucks two months and four series ago. You know the story: down three-games to none, forced a Game 7, scored short-handed late in the third to tie it, got a power play early in overtime, then pffft.
The Hawks couldn't complete the miracle. They couldn't finish the utter humiliation of the Canucks. Their fans couldn't revel in that.
But this feels pretty good, eh?

MOSCOW — The environmental group Greenpeace says one of its ships has defied Russian authorities and entered Arctic waters to protest against oil drilling.
Greenpeace says Russia last week denied permission for its Arctic Sunrise ship to enter the Kara Sea, a section of the Arctic Ocean off Siberia.
But the ship entered the waters on Saturday morning, Greenpeace said in a statement.
The group is protesting offshore oil exploration adjacent to Russia's Arctic National Park, which is habitat for polar bears, walruses and other animals.
The exploration is being conducted by state oil company Rosneft and ExxonMobil.
Greenpeace campaigner Christy Ferguson said in a statement that if the companies bring in oil-drilling platforms, there's a risk of oil spills.

Shake Shack, Dubai
When you happen to visit one the most arid, terribly hot places in the world, the best place to hang is a mall where you can enjoy luxury shopping, skiing and one of the world's most famous burgers. Opening in 2011, Shake Shack Dubai was the first of many of its international locations (now in Turkey, UK and Russia) and ever since day one they've always had queues. If you aren't aware of Shake Shack's infamy, you can read more from D's NYC review here, but they've come a long way since starting out as a humble hot dog stand in NYC. I took my place in line, watched the workhorse that is the Shake Shack kitchen do their thing and eventually got to order the Shack Burger that came with a 100% Angus beef pattie (cooked medium), cheese, lettuce tomato and Shack Sauce all on a soft burger bun.

* Assad's forces keep up assault in Aleppo
* Rebels deny army has driven them from Salaheddine district
* Syrian charge d'affaires in London quits
By Erika Solomon
ALEPPO, Syria, July 31 (Reuters) - The Syrian military has stepped up its campaign to drive rebels out of Aleppo, where fighters said they were holding firm, vowing to turn the country's largest city into the "grave of the regime".
Opposition activists denied a government declaration that its forces had recaptured the Salaheddine district, in southwest Aleppo, straddling the most obvious route for Syrian troop reinforcements coming from the south.
Hospitals and makeshift clinics in rebel-held eastern neighbourhoods were filling up with casualties from a week of fighting in the city, a commercial hub drawn into the 16-month-long revolt against President Bashar al-Assad.
"Some days we get around 30, 40 people, not including the bodies," said a young medic in one clinic. "A few days ago we got 30 injured and maybe 20 corpses, but half of those bodies were ripped to pieces. We can't figure out who they are."
The opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 40 people, 30 of them civilians, were killed in Syria on Monday. Two rebel fighters died in Salaheddine.
Outgunned rebel fighters, patrolling in flat-bed trucks flying green-white-and-black "independence" flags, said they were holding out in Salaheddine despite a battering by the army's heavy weapons and helicopter gunships.
A fighter jet flew overhead, a reminder of the overwhelming military advantage still enjoyed by government forces.
"We always knew the regime's grave would be Aleppo," said Mohammed, a young fighter, fingering the bullets in his tattered brown ammunition vest.
"Damascus is the capital, but here we have a fourth of the country's population and the entire force of its economy. Bashar's forces will be buried here."
So far, however, the government's superiority on the ground means rebels have had little success in holding on to urban territory. The rebels made a major push into Damascus two weeks ago, but were driven out.
The Syrian government has said it has recaptured Salaheddine. Reuters journalists in Aleppo have not been able to reach the neighbourhood to verify who holds it.
The army's assault on Salaheddine echoed its tactics in Damascus earlier this month when it used its overwhelming firepower to mop up rebel fighters district by district.
Assad's forces are determined not to let go of Aleppo, where defeat would be a serious strategic and psychological blow.
Military experts believe the rebels are too lightly armed and poorly commanded to overcome the army, whose artillery pounds the city at will and whose gunships control the skies.
"Yesterday they were shelling the area at a rate of two shells a minute. We couldn't move at all," a man calling himself a spokesman for the "Aleppo Revolution" said on Monday. "It's not true at all that the regime's forces are in Salaheddine."
Warfare has stilled the usual commercial bustle in this city of 2.5 million. Vegetable markets are open but few people are buying. Instead, crowds of sweating men and women wait nearly three hours to buy limited amounts of heavily subsidised bread.
In a city where loyalties have been divided, with sections of the population in favour of the Assad government, some seemed wary of speaking out in the presence of the fighters, many of whom have been drafted in from surrounding areas.
Asked about his allegiances, one man waiting at a police station that had been badly damaged by shellfire said: "We are not with anyone. We are on the side of truth."
Asked whose side that was, he replied: "Only God."
Others stopped members of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and asked them to do something about the supply of bread and petrol.
Rebel fighters remain in control of swathes of the city, moving around those areas armed with assault rifles and dressed in items of camouflage clothing in an edgy show of confidence.
They were emboldened to strike at Aleppo and central Damascus by a July 18 explosion that killed four of Assad's top security officials.
With big powers divided, the outside world has been unable to restrain Syria's slide into civil war.
The only international military presence is a small, unarmed U.N. observer mission. A convoy carrying the head of the mission was attacked on Sunday and only the vehicles' armour prevented injuries, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Monday.
He gave no further details of the attack. U.N. officials said on condition of anonymity that the convoy of five vehicles was hit by small arms fire in Talibisa, some 17 km (10 miles) from Homs, in what they said was an opposition-held area.
Moscow has supported Assad and has shown no sign of abandoning him, blaming the West and Arab countries for stoking the revolt by backing the opposition. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said on Twitter: "Situation is really critical in Aleppo. It is clear that biased media by all means try to do work for the opposition when the latter fails."
France said it would ask for an urgent meeting of the U.N. Security Council to try to break the diplomatic deadlock on Syria, but gave no indication that Russia and China would end their longstanding policy of blocking measures against Assad.
In London, Syria's most senior diplomat resigned because he could no longer represent a government that committed such "violent and oppressive acts" against its own people, the British Foreign Office said. Charge d'affaires Khaled al-Ayoubi joins a growing list of senior Syrian defectors.
Amid growing concern about security on its frontier, Turkey sent at least four convoys of troops, missile batteries and armoured vehicles to the border with Syria.
There has been no indication that Turkish forces will cross the border, and the troop movements may just be precautionary in the face of worsening violence in Syria.

#1 I haven't been to very many this summer.
#2 The ones I did go to didn't yield much (therefore not worth showing).
So today, I decided to hit the Lincoln Highway Buy-Way sales (which are close to where I live) and see what I could find. I left all 3 boys with my sister-in-law (bless her heart!) in exchange for babysitting for her tomorrow so she can hit the sales. I was pleased with what all I found.
This winter, when I have time to dedicate to it, I want to start an Etsy shop featuring vintage farmhouse or farmhouse industrial items. I've been collecting a few things as I find them and today I found several more items for that plus a few things for myself.
So, without further ado, here's my 'stuff':
|Wooden ironing board - $2
I'm undecided whether to keep or sell this. :)
Let's take a closer look:
|Old Pepsi crate - Toledo, OH - $2
|Coffee grinder - $20
Aqua insulator - $1
|Wooden hangers - $1 for all
These also will be repurposed for the shop.
|2 small and 1 large Golden Harvest canisters - $1.25 for 3
These are for me.
|Aqua apothecary bottle - $3
That sounds like a lot but this is for me and I don't see aqua ones very often.
|Desk and chair - $10
This is for my preschooler to use.
|Miscellaneous clothes for my baby - $3.50
|Pair of industrial-style stools - $4 for both
These are for the shop.
Not pictured - wire fencing - $.75

Steven Hoon wasn't always an environmentalist. After graduating high school in Southern California, he moved to Portland to try his hand as a surgical tech—but decided hospitals weren't for him. So he changed schools to study business, then switched to computer networking. He finally found his fit in 2010 at Portland State: environmental studies.
"I sort of just developed a passion for it," Hoon said.
"I started going to farmers markets for the first time while in Portland. I had not even heard of the concept when living in Southern California."
Now as a senior preparing to graduate, Hoon has a
host of real-life conservation experience under his belt.
The Sustainable Northwest Policy Team. From left to
right: Alice Willamson, Dylan Kruse, Steven Hoon,
Maia Enzer, Rachel Plawecki.
Last summer, Hoon participated in the Food Democracy and Sustainability capstone course at Portland State. Students in the capstone worked with low-income community members and the Housing Authority of Clackamas County to develop a new compost system for the Clackamas Heights Community Garden.
And for the past five months, Hoon has been working as an intern with Sustainable Northwest through PSU's Careers in Sustainability program, which is funded by the Institute for Sustainable Solutions.
Sustainable Northwest is a local nonprofit that works with rural communities to advance conservation-based economies in the West. In addition to managing Sustainable Northwest's newsletter, Hoon has been instrumental in a variety of other community-engagement projects, including the Rural Voices for Conservation Coalition Annual Policy Meeting in March. The meeting drew 145 people from 15 states across the country to discuss conservation and rural economic development issues.
"We're trying to be very inclusive and get as many perspectives as possible," Hoon said.
After graduation, Hoon hopes to continue working with environmental policy, and credits his internship with Sustainable Northwest for helping him learn about possibilities in this field.
"The people there are really in to what they're doing, they're genuine."

For most of us, setting aside the responsibilities of life is not an option. In fact, most of our schedules are filled to overflowing. So what can we do to find more time for God?
If God is everywhere, why can't I find Him? offers a no-nonsense approach to continued spiritual growth. Kimberly Sadler shares that God is present and involved in every aspect of our busy life whether it's in the laundry room washing clothes, or in the midst of a horrific hurricane, or even in the struggles of trying to find wedded bliss when things turn sour.
The author maintains that by recalling seven basic biblical truths about God, we can better recognize Him right where we are-in the thick of everyday life.
* Finding God in our Chaos
* Finding God in our Mistakes
* Finding God in our Weariness
* Finding God in our Needs
* Finding God in our Battles
* Finding God in our Confusion
* Finding God in our Heart
Editorial Reviews
"Using an inviting blend of personal stories and biblical teaching, Kim Sadler shows us how to move back into the arms of a loving God no matter our situation. An amazing amount of wisdom is packed into this small book."
Carmen Leal, Author of The Twenty-Third Psalm for Caregivers and The Twenty-Third Psalm for Those Who Grieve
"Wow! Kim Sadler has given us a major gift in this book. If you are tired of reading 'religious' books(I am, too), you are going to love this one. It's fresh air. Kim's authenticity and practical biblical teaching will refresh you and, more important, lead you into the presence of God who is sometimes hard to find. Read this book, and you will be glad that I told you about it."

A Farewell To A September Best Not Forgotten
I'm back. Bfw, I was pretty sick with a one week hospital stay but the computer harmlessly did not work for a while before that. I'm more than happy to be back. As for the Red Sox, I'll go into them in a couple days. I'm not up to it right now. WHO IS? Take care. Thanks. Click on this post's title for more. There's NO place like home!

A Reconstruction of Corporate Social ResponsibilityBoxenbaum, Eva; Battilana, Julie (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The notion of institutional entrepreneur (DiMaggio, 1988) has given rise to a controversy in neo-institutional theory around the ability of actors to distance themselves from institutional pressures, envision alternative institutional patterns, and act strategically to change institutions in which they are embedded. This paper empirically examines the ability of embedded actors to envision alternative institutional patterns, that is, their innovative capacity. We analyze the role that an individual played in the development of a new institutional logic of corporate social responsibility in Denmark between 2001 and 2002. Based on our empirical findings on the innovative capacity of this individual, we propose a new definition of institutional entrepreneurs that is more compatible with the premises of neo-institutional theory than the one proposed by DiMaggio (1988). We propose that institutional entrepreneurs are institutionally bounded agents who a) transpose an institutional logic across fields and introduce it as a deliberate alternative to the institutional logic in the focal field, or b) deliberately seek to diffuse an alternative logic within a field.

What Do We Know? Where Do We Go?Leca, Bernard; Battilana, Julie; Boxenbaum, Eva (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper analyzes the literature that has been published on institutional entrepreneurship since Paul DiMaggio introduced this notion in 1988. Based on a systematic selection and analysis of articles, the paper outlines an emerging consensus on the definition and process of institutional entrepreneurship. It also presents the enabling conditions that have been previously identified and reviews the research methods that have been applied to the study of institutional entrepreneurship. Finally, based on this analysis, this paper highlights future directions for research on this topic. Researchers may use this paper to build targeted and sophisticated research designs that add value to the emerging body of literature on institutional entrepreneurship.

May hits four as Wasps win title
Striker Stephen May netted four as Alloa sealed the Scottish Third Division title with a 8-1 thumping of Elgin.
City keeper Alexander Clark was dismissed in the 16th minute before Mark Nicolson put through his own net on the half-hour mark.
May scored either side of the interval as the Wasps began to dominate.
Robert Winters all but ensured victory two minutes later when he fired a fourth from 12 yards.
But Paul Millar did pull a goal back from close range in the 51st minute to complete a flurry of four goals in seven minutes.
However, May sealed the occasion with a hat-trick goal in the 65th minute before adding his fourth inside the box 10 minutes later.
Substitute Ryan McCord fired in a stunning free-kick eight minutes before time, and Craig Campbell completed the rout a minute later when he finished from Mark Docherty's through ball.

The first day of competition never got underway with the typhoon in the South China Sea still pushing out the trade winds. After the 10:30 skipper's meeting the wind was close to zero and it was clear that the competition was not going to get underway. The riders enjoyed lunch at the beach and were released for the day. Some went for a bike ride to the volcano, others went shopping, and some enjoyed the pool and warm tropical weather. The conditions are forecasted to be light again on Sunday but by Monday we should have a solid breeze to get the competition underway.

In a world highly influenced by an accelerative growth in technological innovation, one is bound to encounter a myriad of computer-operated products. These devices are generally the result of thousands (more like millions) of lines of code designed to self-regulate their electrically-powered operation. The infinitely long list of programs and applications that populate computers and computer networks (the Internet, mostly) are a further indication of the importance placed upon programming language knowledge in daily life.
This, of course, is all stemming from the current phase in human evolution where information, data, and software creation have all taken precedence in tackling worldly challenges. Thus, it is only reasonable that introducing the subject of coding to the next generation early on will greatly aid in resolving present software challenges in this newly entered Information age.
Even with computer technology accounting for many of the world's up-to-date learning devices, it is still apparent that a large percentage of children worldwide do not have consistent access to computers. Schools must better assist in the technological assimilation process by providing students with the learning tools that will ultimately benefit the whole of humanity.
The LA Unified School District has stepped up and contracted Apple to provide its 640,000 students with iPads by the end of next year. Tablet computing platforms in general have an interactive and alluring quality that make them incredible tools for entertainment, productivity, and education. This move will make the LA Unified School District the largest district in the US to provide its students with Apple's innovative technology. The plan also hopes to inspire similar nationwide adoption of school provisioned learning devices.
With access to such devices, one can now begin to determine the programming fundamentals that should be taught to the younger crowd. In the US, the responsibility is currently in the hands of advocacy groups such as Code.org and the Computer Science Teachers Association. Only a smidge more than 10 percent of secondary schools in the US provide computer science classes to students, and very little funding is allocated to teaching the subject. Online access to websites such as EdX and Code.Org, which provides a large selection of free programming resources, is of even greater importance to students.
The UK has already began expanding the availability of programming classes in schools. A new draft to the National Curriculum, taking effect in 2014, will have children learning programming fundamentals at the age of five. Code Clubs that teach children basic programming on Scratch Jr., a bi-product of the Scratch programming language, have quickly grown to account for a total of 948 nationwide clubs.
Unlike most text-based programming environments, Scratch is a tile-based visual environment that lets kids learn coding through the creation of animations, interactive art, and games. This program, created by Mitchel Resnik at the MIT Media Lab in 2003, utilizes sprites in an event-driven platform that kids then use in the construction of their programs. By simply providing an entertaining and interactive resource like Scratch, young students begin to learn about sequential command strings and data control flow, concepts fundamental to the mastery of coding.
Teaching children how to code, regardless of the style taught, will lead to creative, technological solutions to many of the world's current challenges. Programming, which can itself transform the way one thinks about and interacts with information in their environment, requires more attention as a core subject for the next generation of coders.

- Summary
Our potted Meyer lemon tree can be grown and harvested on a patio or in a sunny kitchen. Sweeter, juicier and more fragrant than ordinary lemons, Meyer lemons are wonderful as a garnish for cocktails, tossed into a stir-fry to provide a citrusy zing, grated over dishes or eaten right off the tree. The white flowers are most notable for their creamy, delicate tropical fragrance.
- Shipped to you from the California grower in a 6" diam. terra-cotta pot that displays natural signs of weathering.
- Tree arrives approx. 18" high and can eventually reach a mature height of 4' or 5'.
- Tree may not bear fruit the first year.
- Care instructions are included.
- Can only be shipped within the 48 contiguous states. Agricultural regulations prohibit shipments to Florida and Texas.
- Use & Care
- Important: Please water tree immediately upon arrival.
- Citrus grows best between 55°F and 85°F. Indoor temperatures averaging 65°F are conducive to growth if light is adequate.
Light Exposure
- Expose your tree to light that is as bright as possible but avoid excess heat, as this will dry out the soil too quickly. Citrus like 6 to 12 hours of sunlight a day. A location that provides morning sun or filtered light throughout the day is ideal. When grown indoors, the tree should be kept a minimum of 24 inches from a window as the window will act as a magnifying glass and cause the leaves to burn.
- Water the tree as needed to keep the soil moist but not wet. Watering frequency varies with location, tree size and climate and should be monitored and changed as local conditions change. Vital nutrients are flushed from the soil with each watering and need to be replenished. Citrus are heavy feeders in the summer months and should be fertilized once a week in the summer and every two weeks in the spring and fall. Your local nursery should have an adequate liquid fertilizer available; make sure it includes iron, manganese and zinc. Wilted leaves indicate too little watering; yellowing leaves can indicate lack of fertilizer or overwatering.
- Pruning is fine any time of year but should be avoided in winter for trees grown outdoors. Prune to shape as you desire, keeping in mind the small-scale size of the plant and its container. Flowers will appear from small shoots that originate where the leaves meet the stem. The tree flowers sporadically throughout the year, heaviest in the spring. If too much new growth is produced at the branch tips, don't be shy about cutting it back to a lower position to shorten the tree's height and encourage branching. Occasional pruning of leggy branches will help the tree look fuller. Very leggy branches can indicate the need for more light. Remove the tree from its pot every two to three years and remove about one-third of the roots. Re-pot with a blended potting soil; this will encourage new roots and keep the tree growing happily.
Winter Period
- Keep the tree from extreme cold temperatures in a bright location through the winter. Depending on your location, you could leave it outside in a frost-free area or in a bright, warm room if freezing temperatures occur. Heated rooms may need additional humidity to help the leaves stay lush. As old leaves fall off, fertilize regularly to create new growth and keep the tree productive.
- Shipping
Small, Medium and Large will be shipped from our warehouse by UPS to arrive within five business days of our receiving your order.
Extra Large will be shipped directly from the manufacturer and is not eligible for rush shipping. Please allow up to one to two weeks for delivery.

Despite the obviously incomplete picture portrayed in this fraction of a drawing, the Washington Nationals baseball club would like officially go on the record as being against slugging unsuspecting women in the back of the head. That's a relief.
We all had a good laugh at this National tickets stub yesterday—it's funny because it's in two dimensions—but serious people take these things seriously and that is why we got this official communiqué from the Nats' front office, along with the full image above that explains how the organization is not pro-assault and battery.
Please note that our Season Ticket holders who received their ticket books would have seen the entire illustration, which depicts a family celebrating a Nationals home run together. I've attached a copy of what the picture looks like. As you see, there is no violence being portrayed.
Duly noted. Donkey punches bad, John Lannan ... good? I think we all learned something important today.

Activists fighting an oil sands pipeline project on the West Coast have come up with a novel way to grab the public's attention.
On Tuesday, they launched a website that tracks tanker ships bringing diluted bitumen from the oil sands to refineries in California and Washington state. The site will even alert you when a "tar sands tanker" sails into your area.
The tankers get their cargo from the Trans Mountain pipeline, which connects northern Alberta to a port just outside Vancouver. The pipeline's owner, Kinder Morgan Canada, wants to nearly triple Trans Mountain's capacity, making it even larger than the hotly debated Keystone XL pipeline extension. And yet few Americans even realize that Trans Mountain exists.
Moving ahead: TransCanada to finish southern Keystone line by end of month
ForestEthics, an environmental group with branches in both the United States and Canada, hopes to change that.
The group created the website,tarsandssos.org, to drive home the point that tankers filled with diluted bitumen — or dilbit — are already plying West Coast waters, about 80 ships per year. And traffic would jump if Trans Mountain expands. Add in another proposed oil-sands pipeline farther north — the Enbridge Northern Gateway — and the number of ships could rise to 600 per year.
"This is a cross-border issue," said Matt Krogh of ForestEthics. "Are we going to build a wall of opposition to these proposals? At ForestEthics, we say yes."
Diluted bitumen is a form of heavy crude mixed with lighter hydrocarbons. If spilled in water, it can sink once those lighter elements evaporate. That makes any cleanup difficult.
"Your standard crude spill is bad enough," Krogh said. "But with tar sands, it's worse. We really don't know how to clean it up."
Keystone chief: Republican tactic delayed pipeline
A Kinder Morgan spokeswoman could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
The new website uses identification numbers transmitted by ships to track them up and down the coast. But the site has glitches. On Tuesday, two Chronicle reporters using different computers were unable to find any tankers tracked on it. ForestEthics, however, provided screenshots showing that the web site was following two ships that day. The source of the error has not yet been identified.

Denzel & Streep Star in Remake of Cold War Classic
In 1959, when Richard Condon wrote The Manchurian Candidate, the world was at the height of the Cold War. His chilling best seller, set during the Korean War, involved a Communist Chinese plot to brainwash American prisoners-of-war to assassinate a U.S. Presidential nominee.
The political potboiler readily resonated with a country already vigilant about the "Red Menace" due to the paranoia generated by the McCarthy Era hysteria..
The book was brought to the big screen three years later by the late John Frankenheimer, legendary director of such screen classics as Birdman of Alcatraz (1962), Seven Days in May (1964) and The Train (1964). His fairly faithful adaptation starred Frank Sinatra, Angela Lansbury and Janet Leigh.
After President Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, an ex-Marine who had spent over 30 months behind the Iron Curtain, The Manchurian Candidate was suppressed for the next 25 years out of the fear of inspiring another copy-cat killer. Today, this substantial overhaul comes courtesy of Academy Award-winning director Jonathan Demme, best known for the relatively riveting Silence of the Lambs.
Manchurian 2004 features a trio of Oscar-winners in Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep and Jon Voight. The famous-faced cast also includes Liev Schreiber, Kimberly Elise, Jeffrey Wright, Dean Stockwell, gospel singer BeBe Winans, pantomimist Bill Irwin, Miguel Ferrer, Obba Babatunde', comedian Al Franken, Anna Deavare Smith, author Walter Mosley (Devil in a Blue Dress), director Sidney Lumet, hip-hopper Fab Five Freddy, essayist Roy Blount, Jr., movie producer Roger Corman, network news anchor Forest Sawyer, folk singer Tom Chapin and other recognizables.
Perhaps Demme's being distracted by the presence of so many celebs on the set played a part in dragging down the production, but this version simply fails to measure up to the first. The plot has been revised to take place in the wake of Gulf War "Desert Storm" with the scheme being hatched not by Commies, but by an avaricious, power-hungry defense contractor called Manchrian Global, a thinly-veiled, Halliburton look-a-like.
At our point of departure, we find insomniac, decorated Army veteran Ben Marco (Washington) devoting most of his days to giving inspirational speeches about the heroics of Raymond Shaw (Schreiber), the Sergeant who saved the day when their platoon was ambushed in the Kuwaiti desert. Shaw, meanwhile, is being groomed for higher political office by his overbearing, megalomaniacal mother (Streep), herself a U.S. Senator.
The problem is that all the soldiers from their unit seem to be plagued by similar nightmares. The question is whether the symptoms are simply Gulf War Syndrome, as suggested by V.A. doctors, or evidence of an elaborate, diabolical mind-control scheme to turn the White House into a pawn of big business. Can Ben ignore the voices in his own head long enough to take on the increasingly Machiavellian Manchurian?
Standouts Denzel and Streep carry this careening caper laced with more twists than a Chubby Checker concert. Overall, a film more confusing than compelling, and primarily amusing because of all the parallels to
present-day politics.
Very good (2.5 stars)

A staggering number of people in the United States remain unemployed, with more workers over age 45 remaining out of work for a year or longer.
As Chris Jansing explains in this segment of the NBC Nightly News "Road to Retirement" series, many Americans - especially people 50+ - are taking advantage of the age wave to reinvent their careers or strike out on their own.
That was the case with Roseann Brown, 59, who now works as a fitness instructor to seniors. She clearly loves what she does, and her enthusiastic class participants are a testament that her work is making a difference.
AARP Job Expert Kerry Hannon thinks that the graying population is a win-win for people who want to keep working and for people who need services. "We have people in their 80s and 90s who need people in their 50s, 60s and 70s to do some jobs, to handle some of the services that are part of dealing with the aging population."
With about 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day, and with many generations living hundreds or thousands of miles apart from each other, there is clearly a need for services to help. Here are just a few in-demand jobs:
Senior move manager - These experts help take some of the "down" out of downsizing and assist with planning and moving to a smaller home.
Patient advocate - Helps navigate the maze of doctor appointments, care coordination and insurance.
Home modification professional - Specializes in renovations to support aging in place.
If you're 50+ and interested in starting a business of your own, you're in good company. One in six baby boomers say they want to scratch their entrepreneurial itch and work for themselves at some point, and there are new resources to help.
April has been designated Encore Entrepreneur month by the U.S. Small Business Administration, and the SBA is partnering with AARP to offer free mentoring opportunities. More than 90 mentoring events will be held around the country, and two webinars are available to anyone with an Internet connection.
"Of 76 million people above 50, about half have an interest in entrepreneurship," noted Jean Setzfand, vice president of financial security, in a recent USA TODAY article on encore careers.
Another plus for working longer? More time to let your retirement savings grow. Aspiring entrepreneurs can find additional resources and tools on a special section of AARP's website.
Cheers to greater employment opportunities, whether you're working for yourself or for someone else.

The Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art joins museums throughout the United States that serve visitors with special needs with ACCESS-ABILITY: DECONSTRUCTING AND RECONSTRUCTING ART FOR ACCESS, in the Upper Gallery Sept. 17 through Dec. 3. The exhibition launches a series of initiatives to make the Museum's collections more fully accessible to a wide range of differently-abled constituents.
This exhibition will present pieces from the Museum's permanent collection in the context of best practices, including verbal description and multi-sensory tours, 3D tactile diagrams of 2D works of art and specialized guided tours for visitors living with dementia. The exhibition is co-curated by Emelie McFarland 2013, Angier Cooper 2015 and Susan Shifrin, Associate Director for Education at the Berman Museum. An opening reception is Sept. 23 from 2 to 4 p.m.
The Berman has joined the museum network of the organization ARTZ: Artists for Alzheimer's, the first museum in Pennsylvania to do so. This affiliation will make available an in-house arts-based support program designed specifically for visitors with dementia.
"The goal of the Museum is not only to augment and professionalize our internal operations from this perspective, but to sponsor opportunities for idea-sharing and collaboration with other museums and caregiving organizations in the greater Delaware Valley, so as to make as lasting an impact as possible on our region's capabilities," according to Dr. Shifrin. The Berman will model innovative programs and strategies for creating as many accessible exhibitions as possible according to the standards established in the fields of arts access and arts-based support for those living with dementia.
The accessibility initiatives were inaugurated last spring through special training workshops with the directors of Art Beyond Sight and ARTZ: Artists for Alzheimer's. The fall initiatives will involve a regional Advisory Board, partnerships with Philadelphia arts and educational institutions, an initiative with residents of Parkhouse, Montgomery County's facility for the aging, and coordination with the Ursinus Psychology Department and Common Intellectual Experience first-year course.
A related event, co-sponsored by the Greater Philadelphia Consortium of Women's Studies and The Berman Museum, will take place on the Ursinus campus Nov. 14. Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, a renowned scholar of women's and disabilities studies, and the author of Staring: How We Look, will speak at 7 p.m. in Pfahler auditorium. The event is free and open to the public.
The Berman Museum of Art, known for its diverse collection and its innovative educational programming, is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday; and noon to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The Museum is closed Mondays and college holidays. The Museum is accessible to the physically disabled and admission is free. The museum is accredited by the American Association of Museums. Exhibitions and programs are funded in part by a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. For more information, please contact the Museum at 610-409-3500.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – A four run top of the ninth broke open a 4-4 ball game to give the Blue Devils of the University of Wisconsin-Stout (4-3) an 8-4 win over baseball (2-2) Sunday afternoon at Terry Park.
For the second straight game the Beacons came out red hot scoring three runs through the first three innings, while holding Stout to just a lone run. Wisconsin would get another run in the fourth before scoring a run in the seventh and eighth to take a 4-3 lead.
The Beacons responded with a run in bottom half of the eighth to knot the game at 4-4. However in the ninth the Blue Devils would erupt scoring four runs on two doubles and a single to take control of the lead for good.
Senior outfielder Jamill Moquete (Boston, Mass.) crushed his first home run of the year to lead the Beacons offense as he went 2-for-3 with one RBI and two runs scored. Anthony Gomes-Sirianni (San Francisco, Calif.) and Andy Bukuras (Mansfield, Mass.) each ripped doubles for the second straight day, while Bryan Failla (Torrington, Conn.) picked-up a huge RBI single in the bottom half of the second.
Daniel Heefner (Tracy, Calif.) was handed the loss, his first of the year, after being charged with the four runs in the top of the ninth. Josh Cummiskey (Lowell, Mass.) earned his first start of the year and went five complete innings. He allowed two runs on six hits and struck out four.
Charlie Meyer led the Blue Devils with a 4-for-5 performance, which included a pair of doubles. Brady Burzynski also had a big day going 2-for-4 with a run scored and five RBI on a double and triple. Andy Peterson earned the win after going three complete innings. He allowed just one run on two hits and struck out one. Brett Steinwagner recorded six strikeouts in his six innings of work, while also giving up three runs, two earned, on six hits.
Baseball has tomorrow off, and will return to action on Tuesday when they take on St. Joseph's College (L.I.) at 1 and 4 p.m. doubleheader at Terry Park field number 1.

Fear reigns as investors flee stocks
Exit, stage right: Greed. Enter, stage left: Fear.
The financial markets have taken a look at 2014 and aren't liking what they're seeing. "We're getting slapped around here a little bit," says Andrew Brooks, vice president and head of U.S. equity trading at Baltimore-based T. Rowe Price. "The world is a little nervous."
And how. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 326.05 points Monday, a 2.1% decline, bringing its 2014 loss to 7.3%.
Making the world nervous all year: jittery emerging markets. Turkey's stock market has plunged 13.3% in U.S. dollar terms this year and 29% the past three months, according to MSCI. Russia and South Africa's markets have both fallen more than 10% this year.
STOCKS MONDAY:Indexes lose 2% or more
Investors aren't worried because they think Turkish and Russian investors will be selling their U.S. stocks. But stock investors do worry that growth in the emerging markets will slow, and that could hurt earnings for multinational consumer companies such as Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble, which have gotten much of their growth from emerging markets.
Many investors recall the emerging meltdown of 1998, which shaved nearly 20% from the Dow in a few short weeks, as emerging markets saw their interest rates soar and their economies crumble.
And, of course, there's always more to worry about:
• The Federal Reserve. The Fed has been easing back on the monetary throttle, which had been open pretty much as wide as it could go. For much of last year, the Fed bought $85 billion a month in mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries in a bid to reduce long-term interest rates, particularly mortgage rates. Since December, however, the Fed has been slowing down its purchases by $10 billion a month, and some investors fear that the market might crumble without the Fed's market-friendly bond-buying program.
• Congress. The U.S. will hit its debt ceiling limit at the end of February, making the federal government unable to pay the bills that Congress has already authorized. If Congress doesn't agree to raise the debt ceiling, the nation could default on its debt. The last time Congress came close to default, Standard & Poor's downgraded the nation's credit rating, and the Dow fell 634.76 in a single day.
• Manufacturing. The Institute of Supply Management's factory index fell to 51.3, lower than most forecasts. Although a reading above 50 indicates that the manufacturing industry is growing, Monday's report was a surprise to most market participants.
Is all this fear warranted? Not really. "It doesn't feel good, but it's not uncommon for the market to consolidate and pull back after a year like 2013," Brooks says.
There are reasons to be cheerful, says Rich Weiss, senior portfolio manager at American Century. "Earnings are showing up pretty well," he says. According to S&P Capital IQ, 250 companies have reported earnings for the fourth quarter of 2014, and of those, 172 have beaten analyst estimates. Analysts expect fourth-quarter S&P 500 earnings growth to gain 7.3% year over year.
Forecasts have been problematic, though, coming in somewhat more negative than expected. "Guidance has been conservative," S&P's Brooks says. But companies that produce aggressively optimistic guidance get punished hard by the market when they disappoint.
Finally, bad news isn't bad news for all types of investments: 10-year Treasury yields have plunged on waves of pessimism, to 2.58% Monday from 3.03% at the end of 2013. Bond prices rise when rates fall, and the average U.S. Treasury bond fund gained 3.3%. The average stock fund lost 3%.

Kelsey Grammer, who split from third wife and "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" starlet Camille over the summer, dished on his recent engagement to British flight attendant Kayte Walsh.
"Kayte and I are marrying because we are engaged, and we are engaged because we are in love and see no reason to postpone our happiness any longer," Grammer, 55, told People.com.
The "Fraiser" star's soon-to-be ex Camille, 47, filed for divorce over the summer, ending the pair's 13-year marriage to Camille. They have two children together.
With the ink still drying on his divorce papers, Grammer told People he saw no need to wait to get hitched again.
"We are planning something we wish to be a private affair among several of our friends. Anything else is conjecture and false," he told People. "Kayte and I are the only reliable source for this story. End of story."
Walsh was pregnant with Grammer's child but has a miscarriage this fall.

Tony Gonzalez, Matt Ryan and Mike Smith can exhale. They finally have a playoff win, and they pulled it off in the most gut-wrenching way possible.
The Atlanta Falcons narrowly avoided the worst fourth-quarter collapse in NFL history, edging the Seattle Seahawks 30-28 on a 49-yard Matt Bryant field goal with just 8 seconds remaining. The top-seeded Falcons will host the No. 2 San Francisco 49ers next week in the NFC Championship Game.
Atlanta played a very clean game offensively for three quarters, then self-destructed in the final frame. But Gonzalez was a constant throughout, making a number of contested catches to keep drives alive. He made one of his trademark tip-toes for a touchdown in the first quarter. And when the Falcons needed one more play to get in field-goal range late in the game, Gonzalez found the hole in the Seahawks' zone and sat down in it.
It's not a flashy play, but it perfectly sums up the quiet professionalism of Gonzalez and this Falcons team. That play, and the field goal that followed, helped Atlanta avoid an almost unimaginably difficult offseason of questions.
"After 16 games, never winning a playoff game, I've never cried after a win," Gonzalez told Fox after the game. "I was thinking, 'Here it goes it again. I guess it wasn't meant to be.' I'm just so proud of our guys."
It's almost hard to believe the Falcons were in the position to lose. The Seahawks trailed 27-7 heading into the fourth quarter. Teams trailing by 20 or more points entering the final frame of a playoff game were 0-83 before Sunday. It nearly became 1-83 after Marshawn Lynch scored a touchdown to enable the Seahawks to take the lead with 31 seconds remaining.
Atlanta, so dominant offensively all afternoon, started to misfire in the fourth quarter. Ryan threw an awful interception, followed by a three-and-out and another quick punt. The Falcons' defense, which forced just three punts all day, absolutely had no answer for the Seahawks' passing game after halftime, giving up four touchdown drives.
It looked for all the world that we'd be writing about the most painful Falcons loss of them all. Even they thought it was coming.

"I'd by lying to you if I thought we were going to be able to pull that one out, but I'm so glad we did," Gonzalez said. "I was thinking: 'This is it. I'm going out after a heartbreaking loss.' "
The rest of America felt the same, Tony. But Ryan came up with two great throws when he absolutely needed them. Ryan knew just who to look for with the game on the line.

Sailboat Hatchets & Portlights
At Mauri Pro Sailing, we provide the top Hatches & Portlights available from the Lewmar name. Lewmar's comprehensive range of hatch and portlight offers a solution to temperature control in the cabin, whether on a small dayboat or a superyacht. Combining years of manufacturing experience with the latest in design trends, the range we supply bears all the features you come to expect of a high-quality Lewmar product. With the technical assistance we offer, you will be provided with the right choice to maintain comfort below deck on those laid back days and restful nights.
Sailboat hatches are recommended on sailboats with larger decks as they can provide an access point to the cabin that can easily be sealed. When the hatch is shut, the frame of the hatch creates a waterproof seal to prevent water from coming in. Lewmar hatches use a sturdy acrylic which can be walked on when the hatch is closed. These hatch acrylics are also available in different tints to help regulate the light going into the cabin. Lewmar hatches come in several different series that vary by the height from the deck. Once open, the sailboat hatch provides a great entry point into the boat where you can quickly exchange equipment between the above and below deck. Hatches also provide great ventilation when inside the cabin. Select Lewmar hatches can be retrofitted with an acrylic modification that helps with ventilation even while the hatch is closed.
Marine portlights can be found on the side of the bulkhead or on the side of the hull. Lewmar Portlights come as either the fixed portlight, which provides a small window for light to enter the cabin, or as the opening portlight that can be opened to assist with air circulation below deck. Opening portlights can also be placed on the deck wall as a solution for cluttered deck spaces on racing boats as sheet tails can be thrown down below. Lewmar Portlights use a handle and hinge system that is designed to leave the lens clear of obstructions, giving them an uncluttered view and a clean, modern look.
Replacing a Lewmar Hatch/Portlight
Throughout the years, Lewmar's Hatch and Portlight sizes have remained in a standard cutout size with the only change being the corner radius on certain models. Marine portlights and hatches from other brands can be replaced with Lewmar portlights and hatches if the cutouts are matching. If the cutouts do not match, the old cutout can be expanded or a sealed timber intermediate frame can be used to close in a gap. Spare parts can be supplied for all current hatch and portlight ranges. For older marine hatches and portlights which are no longer manufactured a selection of the most frequently requested spares is available. It is necessary to identify your hatch/portlight to determine which spares you will need.
Maintaining your Lewmar Hatches & Portlights
It is recommended to rinse off the frames and hinges of your opening portlights and hatches to remove dirt and debris build up. In salt water environments, this freshwater rinse is needed in an especially higher frequency to prevent salt build up in the hinges. Wash the windows for marine hatches and portlights with warm soapy water. All solvents should be avoided as they will cause the acrylic to craze.

AHL Game Day: 3-9-14 Senators at Crunch
The pieces start to fit together?
Kristers Gudlevskis allowed 3 goals on 36 shots for the victory. He gave his team a chance, holding them to within 2 of the Sens going into the final frame before the offense ramped up and delivered him some precious goal support.
First Period

BNG Puempel, (22) (Da Costa), 14:35 (PP)
Second Period

Vladislav Namestnikov, Brett Connolly, and Mike Angelidis were the game's three stars. Today also marked the first point for new acquisition Jonathan Marchessault and the team also announced the signing of 22 year old left wing Yanni Gourde, who was a point a game player for Worchester in 25 games this season before being cut loose by the Sharks. Gourde and Marchessault, like Conacher and Johnson before them, fit the mold of undersized, skilled, and inexpensive prospects the Lightning have had huge success cultivating. Both should figure prominently into the rebuilding of the Crunch next season.

Film is the first in the world to be supported with a synchronised second screen application for inside the cinema.
Principal photography has commenced on innovative Dutch feature App, the first film in the world that will be supported with a synchronised second screen application for use inside the cinema.
Audiences will be able to follow a parallel storyline via content available through an application for iPhone and Android devices, using technology based on SyncNow digital watermarking by Civolution and app platform provider Service2Media.
Centred around Anna (Hannah Hoeskstra), a student who discovers a mysterious new app on her phone that starts sending cryptic texts and codes connected to the sudden deaths of people around her, App is the first feature film from 2CFILM which was founded recently by Kees Abrahams and Robin de Levita and is backed by Imagine Nation. The thriller is directed by Bobby Boermans and written by Robert A. Jansen.
Robin de Levita, CCO, Imagine Nation, says: "App will immediately present an exciting challenge to the way that we think about the cinema experience – it might even potentially start a trend where consumers will turn their phones on, not off, when they go to the cinema."
App is due for release in the Netherlands in Feb 2013 and will be distributed by Just Film Distribution.
