I have taken my bike to the local dealership here in Colorado Springs several times now, twice for warranty service and they just cant seem to get the basic professionalism piece right. The first time I took it in at 4500 miles because the clutch reservoir had been dripping on the paint and the panel paint had worn off the center where it meets the black fuel tank cover had worn off which is totally unacceptable for that few miles on a bike.
The problem is that these clowns kept the bike for a week the first time I took it in. once I got tired of waiting for so much as a phone call to update me on the status of my bike. When I called them they were of course "just about to call me"(yeah right after 6 days) only to find out that they didnt even have the new parts in stock yet and didnt expect them in for at least 10 days. I ride daily so I asked them to give the bike back to me so I could get around since they had no idea when things would actually get done.
So 2.5 weeks later I stopped into the dealership because they had a nice used SV 650 I was interested in. While there I stopped into the service section to see what was up. Amazingly they were "just about to call me" to let me know the parts were in. Stunning coincidence in know. I then scheduled an appt 3 weeks out because that was the first thing they had. I also confirmed that it would be a 1 day job and that I could pick it up the next day.
3 weeks later I dropped the bike off on a Wed night for its Thurs appt and confirmed it would be ready by Thurs afternoon. They stated that it might be Friday as one of the techs had a family emergency. I said that is fine but to call me thurs afternoon to confirm and they agreed. So I finally got a call at 2pm on Friday to tell me the bike wasnt ready because one of the new panels had a scratch. When I asked if I could come take the bike rather than wait 2 more weeks for parts without my bike. This time they refused because the bike was apart and oh yeah some of the parts for the clutch master somehow hadn't come with the replacement parts from Germany.
So they had 6 freaking weeks to make sure the parts were all there and in good condition and still could get their trash in order.
As you can guess still have no bike and more importantly no idea when I will get it back. I am sick of this garbage. I purchased a BMW motorcycle and I think I deserve better service than this.
Someone please help me find a good shop in Colorado Springs, CO for major items. I like to do my own maint but need a shop for things like valves and tire changes. I dont care if its independent but I need someone who gives a S*** about the customer and wants to keep getting my money. Thanks in advance.

Colin Sullivan,
M.B.B.S., Ph.D, FRACP
Colin Sullivan, M.B.B.S., Ph.D, FRACP – the inventor of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) – received the Sleep Innovator Award at the National Sleep Foundation's Annual Awards Dinner during National Sleep Awareness Week® 2009. We asked Professor Sullivan to share his thoughts about the past and future of CPAP.
The pivotal moment was a night in June 1980 when we first tested the idea that positive pressure, applied just through the nasal airway, could stop obstructive apnea. Although I had the idea several months previously, at that time we saw only very few patients, so we had to wait for an appropriate patient to do the experiments. The patient in whom the first test was done had very severe sleep apnea and had come under my care at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital where I was a physician in the Respiratory Unit. He was so severe that I had recommended a tracheotomy as an urgent procedure. However, he and his family refused surgery, but he was happy to volunteer for the pressure experiment. We put together the breathing circuit in the afternoon, and then used plastic tubes and a rapid setting silicone sealant to provide access to the nasal airway. Within minutes of the full polysomnography (PSG) set-up, the patient had gone to sleep and developed repetitive severe sleep apnea. I gradually increased the air pressure in the circuit, and then suddenly the apnea stopped and normal breathing appeared. It was an incredible result. As we watched in amazement, the patient went into REM sleep. I quickly decided to repeat the experiment by dropping the pressure and the apnea recurred. I went through a series of cycles increasing the pressure and so literally "turning off" the apnea, and then dropping the pressure and "turning on" the apnea. There was no uncertainty or ambiguity. The method worked. The effect was so clear and repeatable, the next question to answer was would it work all night?

Author Notes: At a farewell party for Christine Muhlke, who is leaving her job as the food editor at The New York Times Magazine to become executive editor at Bon Appetit, the menu was very Gilded Age. There was veal tongue salad and coquilles St. Jacques, Tom & Jerry's mixed by Christine's husband, Oliver, and a good boozy punch, all laid out on the diner counters at M. Wells in Long Island City.
Toward the end of the party, just before the chef brought out a bunch of freshly shot woodcock for guests to help pluck, they set out a bowl of salad. All the greens -- brussels sprouts and arugula -- were finely shredded but still crisp, and there were slivers of venison jerky, flecks of celery, and bits of dried cranberry and walnut. Wrapping it all was a snappy and faintly spicy vinaigrette. A friend and I declared it the world's best salad. But we'd had Oliver's Tom & Jerry and were feeling merry. So maybe it's not the best, but it's definitely in the hall of fame. And I can't think of a better antidote to a month of gilded holiday gorging. Here is my made-up version of it. —Amanda Hesser
Serves: 4
1/4 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and shaved on a mandoline
1 cup finely chopped baby arugula
1 celery rib, trimmed and finely diced (1/8-inch dice)
4 slices speck, cut into slivers
1/4 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
1/3 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely grated pecorino Romano cheese
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Pinch piment d'espelette, or to taste
Half a lemon, to taste
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brussels sprouts, arugula, celery, speck, cranberries, walnuts, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in the olive oil and add the piment d'espelette. Squeeze on about 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Gently fold the salad together, over and over, until it is fully blended. Taste and adjust seasoning.

As some of you might know, programming isn't exactly my cup of coffee so I'll do my best not to sound too much like an idiot running down the list of new features in this latest Qt release.
Qt Quick is the biggest new thing in this release. "Qt Quick, the Qt UI Creation Kit, enables the creation of dynamic user interfaces, easier and more effective than possible with existing UI technologies." It consists of three core technologies: QML, QtDeclarative, and the venerable Qt Creator.
- QtDeclarative is a C++ library that provides the underlying engine, which translates the declarative description of the UI in QML into items on a QGraphicsScene. The library also provides APIs to bind custom C++ types and elements to QML, and to connect the QML UI with the underlying application logic written in C++.
- Qt Creator has been improved to support interactive editing of QML UIs through drag-and-drop. The text editor supports the QML syntax and provides authoring assistance such as auto-completion, error lookup, help lookup and easy preview of QML UI's. The Qt Quick features in Qt Creator will be released with Qt Creator 2.1
A lot of work has gone into further improving QtWebKit and its performance. For instance, QGraphicsWebView has a new tiled backing store which should improve scrolling and zooming performance. There's also a new feature in QtWebKit called frame flattening, which will resize frames to make sure no scrollbars are displayed. The performance improvements are paying off: compared to Qt 4.6.0, scrolling performance has improved 350%, page loading 16%, and CSS animation 31% thanks to accelerated compositing.
Performance improvements were a focus across the board. The newly introduced QStaticText class improves text rendering performance, Qt gets a new widget implementation which improves performance of applications with complicated UIs on Mac OS X, and the JavaScript engine has been improved.
There's a lot more stuff in there, so go take a look.

Hulk vs. (US - BD)
Gabe would've preferred a series of Stan Lee vs. shorts, but these'll do...
The new Marvel animated universe continues missing the magic of both the studio's revamped and classic comics, not to mention the relative success of their newly formed live-action universe. The first four films in the new series ( Ultimate Avengers 1 and 2, The Invincible Iron Man, and Dr. Strange) were dully plotted, missing the point of their comic book counterparts. They were also hideously animated. The fifth film, Next Avengers, was more stylish, but the writers put little effort into creating an intriguing storyline, or charming characters.
For this new duo of short films, the studio continues taking correct steps stylistically, but it also continues to devolve in storytelling. What started as simply dumbing down comic storylines ( The Ultimates would've been eight hours long and R-rated, had they directly adapted it), has turned into creating forty minute action scenes.
The plot of Hulk Vs. Wolverine is an adaptation of a few issues of the original Hulk comic which first introduced Wolverine, and several issues of the various Wolverine origin stories, mostly Barry Windsor-Smith's Weapon X series. The short seems to have been made to introduce younger audiences to Wolverine's Weapon X buddies Deadpool and Omega Red, and re-introduce them to already adapted characters like Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike. Of course, it's no coincidence that Wolverine has a new animated series (where he's also voiced by Steve Blum), and will have a new movie this summer.
Without credits, Hulk vs. Wolverine is only about thirty minutes long, making it an ever so slightly elongated episode of a normal television series. There's not a lot of story to be told in thirty minutes, and there's so much fighting in the film, that I can't believe the script was more than twelve pages. It's not a terrible adaptation of the origin story, one might even praise its efficiency (we'll see if the new movie isn't a bit overlong this summer), but there isn't a lot of meat in the package. In total it feels like a good start to a Wolverine solo series… just not the one on television right now.
Hulk vs. Thor is the longer movie, but it features surprisingly less plot. Basically, the audience is given a crash course in Asgard's lore, then Hulk pounds the stuffing out of everything around him. A few other things occur (Bruce Banner's soul becomes the second act McGuffin), but it mostly amounts to a lot of hitting, and it gets a little boring, especially compared to the mythology heavy episodes of Justice League. It's not a continuation of the first segment, though one assumes both films take place in the same universe (and there are plenty of cues to tell us Hulk vs. Thor takes place after the two Ultimate Avenger movies). The want to tell the story seems a little more genuine than the money grab behind Hulk vs. Wolverine (even if a Thor movie is also in production), but the execution is a less effective, and more like the other Marvel animated films, just without the extra thirty minutes of story elongation.
The broad shouldered, tiny footed character designs of Hulk vs. Wolverine are appreciated. If you lack the budget for pristine animation, the difference should be made up for in stylistic choices. I'm not so fond of the use of the '90s style costumes for most of the characters, but it's a small issue in the long run (though Sabretooth looks pretty stupid). Hulk vs. Thor is closer to the previous Marvel animated feature releases in look and character design, but pushes its angles, and generally simplifies everything. The studio continues their use of hard lined, multi-coloured shadows from Next Avengers, which is also much appreciated after four movies featuring smudgy grey shading. The biggest improvement from the previous Marvel animated movies is the staging and lighting. Both shorts are full of tilted camera angles, strange perspectives, and in general, a whole lot of scope. Hulk vs. Wolverine is especially stylish, likely thanks to DC Animated Universe alumni Kevin Altieri and Butch Lukic.
The producers get more of their money's worth out of the PG-13 rating this time. In the first 'episode' clawed creatures with mutant healing powers cut and punch the crap out of each other, and the people around them, including four bloody arm removals (five if we're counting actual arms removed), and the evil members of Weapon X generally curse like prime time television sailors.
Hulk vs. Wolverine, being the darker of the two films, is the less impressive in high definition, but the crispness of the lines and the solid nature of the colours is still impressive. There is no noise or blocking to be found in the rich blacks though, and only a hint of enhancement along the thin character lines. Hulk vs. Thor, taking place in the candy coloured daylight of Asgard, features almost zero blackness. Even edges are coloured, and thus feature fewer edge enhancements. The hand painted backgrounds never quite match the characters, nor do the characters ever interact with it convincingly, but the shades and gradation is impressive in 1080p.
Another overly and amusingly aggressive DTS-HD Master Audio track from our friends at Lionsgate. On this track the Hulk's lumbering breath alone is enough to knock your speakers off their stands with rumbling bass. Actually, it's often the most prominent thing on the entire track. The sound designers don't totally fill the mix with effects, but the channels are all plenty busy with a few objects at a time, clean, and directionally correct dialog, and Guy Michelmore's thickly produced score. Michelmore doesn't directly rip-off anything I can recognize this time around, and the scale of these scores is generally impressive.
Extras begin with a series of audio commentaries. Hulk vs. Wolverine features commentary with producer/writers Craig Kyle and Chris Yost, and a separate track featuring director Frank Paur, and storyboarders Kevin Altieri and Butch Lukic. Kyle and Yost are two of the Marvel animation regulars, and it is similar to the other Marvel animation commentaries (i.e. a tiny bit fan-boy annoying). The Paur, Altieri and Lukic track is a different story. Hulk vs. Wolverine marks the first time the team has worked together since the original Batman: The Animated Series. Hulk vs. Thor also features a track with Kyle and Yost, along with another director/artist track featuring Paur, Sam Liu and James Peters. The Thor track is more concerned with colour styles than movement. The commentary teams point out plenty of famous cover image homage, points out Deadpool's ace ad libs (which actually saved some scenes), and marvels (if you'll excuse the pun) at the amount of blood that made the cut (working in TV for years has made them more conscious of such things than most of us).
'This is Gonna Hurt' is another fluffy making-of featurette from the folks that brought us all the other Marvel animation EPKs. In fact, this one was more or less made available on the Next Avengers DVD. They've added a bit of information here, but it's still more of a sales pitch than an informational video. Interviewees include writers Kyle and Yost, character designer Jeff Matsuda, director Paur, and voice actors Steve Blum, Fred Tatasciore, and Nolan North. The character sketches and background plates are a cool touch, but there isn't a lot about the design process, mostly just samples of the direct homage. The featurette runs about twenty minutes.
'Fan Frenzy' is one of those loud and cheery Comic Con panel videos that keep me away from convention panels. The audience pee their pants over seconds of footage, then lob softballs at the writers, Tatasciore (the voice of the Hulk) and Paur, and they all do their best to condescend to their audience. Craig Kyle is definitely a good hype man, I'll give him that. It runs about eight minutes.
The Hulk vs. Wolverine extras end with a look at the new animated series Wolverine and the X-Men. I've seen a few episodes, and it's not a bad show. This kind of writing just seems to work better in series form. The silly thing is that they announce that there is a Wolverine vs. Hulk episode in the series, begging the question: 'Why make this movie?'
The additional Hulk vs. Thor extras begin with 'Of Gods and Monsters', which is equally fluffy as 'This is Gonna Hurt', and was also partially shown on the Next Avengers discs. This bit focuses a little more, and much quicker upon the actors, including interviews with Graham McTavish (he was the Brit merc in Rambo), Tatasciore (again), and Matt Wolfe. Paur again focuses a bit more on the look of the short, Yost talks about the geeky comic history stuff, and Kyle continues selling the product. This featurette runs about eighteen-and-a-half minutes.
'Kirby + Thor' is a look at artist Jack Kirby's work on the Thor comics in the '60s. This featurette is a little out of place considering how un-Kirby the short looks (Bruce Timm's Planet Apokolips on Superman and Justice League was spot on Kirby), but it's still a nice touch, for younger fans especially, but at less than five minutes no one stands to learn too much.
Everything comes to a finish with a first look at Thor: Tales of Asgard, which looks to be a continuation on this stylistic and storytelling improvement, and a whole bunch of trailers.
I'm getting pretty bored with this staff's take on the Hulk, especially their mostly un-heroic or repentant representation of Banner, but it's pretty cool to use the familiar character as a means to introduce others. If this were the first few episodes of a new TV series I'd be impressed enough to keep watching, but there will probably be another half year between this and the studio's next release, and as standalone's there just isn't enough to produce any lasting durability. This two 'film' (I use the term loosely based on the run-times of each) collection marks the studio's most impressive effort, and it's worth a watch for fans of the characters, but I can't picture myself ever watching either again.

Like all of the other Marvel animated titles released over the past couple of yeas these were okay, not great, but not bad either. If they really want to knock one out of the park they should look at adapting some of the story lines found in the comics--such as a feature length adaptation or series based on Planet Hulk or Civil War for instance.

There is indeed a Planet Hulk animated feature in the works, though it won't be out for a while.
I'm wondering if that also means we might end up getting a World War Hulk animated movie at some point as well, since the end of Planet Hulk is essentially a cliffhanger that requires WWH to resolve the story properly.

I really enjoyed thee two films. I think they look great on Bluray. I just wish there animated films would be a bit longer, a half hour would do wonders.
Bruno Billion Member Join Date: April 2005 Location: United Kingdom Posts: 260
I've actually enjoyed the two shorts. Nothing really fancy storywise, but I suppose what we all want is the fights, and both deliver.
Lots of special features too (5 documentaries including the previews for the next projects), certainly more than in previous releases.

reminds me of a manga I started to read about a hero fresh out of hero school had to get a job as a clerk at a store because the evil overlord died an hero's are not needed anymore. So he had to get a real job, only to find that the girl they hired that he has to train is the overlords kid and she to needed to get a real job.
Wow, and I thought this was going to be another forgettable sub par comedy. Thank God the people writing this show know how humour works and don't just throw clichés around with no regard to how funny it actually is. Second favourite show of the season behind Oreimo 2. It's always nice to hear more nano.RIPE. I've been in love with their music ever since Hanasaku Iroha
Relatively amusing, but also kind of annoying somehow. I think that's just me and my tastes--hard to find a good comedy fit and I'm not sure this will do it. Let's see how it holds up after I give it my usual 3-episode trial.
This anime is pretty good. I loved the first few minutes on epic shit going on then it quickly became comedy though out the entire episode.

Weird that Maou and his buddy were talking in a different language though it was funny when the police couldn't understand them XD!
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
I like how that Maou has to adept to everyday human life since he has to until he and the other guy forgot his name return to whatever their world is called. It was funny when the fryer broke and he thought about using magic to fix it :D

The ending was good with that girl and by the preview for EP2 it looks like they have to live together and work together despite being enemies.
Just enjoying life! Anime and Games are my passion.
This was a good one. Had me laughing a lot and the surprise end was great.
avoiding doing any work today
I think this will be one light-hearted anime I will be watching this season
Well, it was funny, not terrific, but sadly the best new anime I've seen this season and it's not on CR. I couldn't help wish that this show would merge with Wagnaria and they demon duo would end up working at the restaurant. That would be the anime comedy to end all anime comedy.
Summer Season Begins!
mmm well indeed it was amusing...
the concept of a kick ass devil king teleported to present Japan is pretty good for comedic situation but then
I fell it is rushed and forced.
He intergrated into society very fast and they gave you an impression that he is pretty smart since he was asking the right question.....but then he ends up working for McRonald?
Also at the earlier part, the gibberish was starting to annoy me ....
sorry a lot anime has been annoying me this week , at least I finished watching this one.
My Avatar is seiyuu Morita san and Me cosplaying at AnimeExpo
Pretty good show his determination to be store of the month was hilarious.
Best pilot episode in awhile!
first episode was great. it had a lot of funny moments and the ending was unexpected
So a show about a demon lord teaching the audience about principles of economics and spending wisely. And a probable relationship with a hero. Seems like I just got through one of those (albeit with the genders reversed...) Funny though. I'll definitely keep watching.
Extended tags,ratings,show discovery: http://crunchyroll.com/group/rotten_sushi
second episode was good! im interested to know what all these earthquakes are about, obviously related to the shooting, and i think we ALL know where the demon lord and the hero are headed, but its gonna be great to see how it gets to that point!
i like things
so the short girl has a portal in or close to her house. That some mage is using to get back and forth. Any guesses on who it is?

Really interested to see who the shooters are. Possibly someone trying to conquer earth already. I wouldn't see why a person from entei isla would go there to kill them both. They'd just stay in entei and let them rot on earth.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (Sept. 12, 2009) - Led by the strong play of freshman Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) and junior Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillame, France) the ETSU men's tennis team wrapped up its second day of competition at the Synder Tennis Center in Charlottesville, Va.
Battling a tough field at the eighth annual UVA Fall Classic the youthful Bucs - who feature six underclassmen - have not backed down from a number of top-ranked players the last two days.
"We might feature a number of younger guys, but the one thing I'm pleased to see the last two days is how each of our players brought intensity and toughness to the court," said head coach Yaser Zaatini. "We've thrown Jesus into the fire early and exposed him to some top-level tennis. The things I see in him, so far, are very encouraging. He's a player that fights and has a hunger, like the rest of our guys, to be the best."
Bandres opened the day winning his second straight ranked match over No. 78 Michael Nichifor of
After falling to No. 59th-ranked Christopher Aumueller in a long 6-2, 7-6 quarterfinal contest, junior Grega Teraz (
With Teraz and Bottoni advancing, both Buccaneer players will now face one another in Sunday's fifth place match, while Bandres battles in the third place contest.
"Grega played some long points against Aumueller this morning," Zaatini said. "He had him at set point during the second, but failed to convert. Against a good ranked player like that you can't give any second chances during a match. Despite the loss I was proud to see Grega comeback and play well during his second contest against Frank."
Sophomore Ofir Weintraub (
In doubles action, the ETSU team of Jesus and sophomore Sander Gille (
Play continues with final day action, starting at , Sunday.

O's pick hard-throwing Bonilla, son of former All-Star
One of Brandon Bonilla's earliest memories comes from just five days after his fourth birthday and involves champagne -- lots and lots of champagne.
It was Oct. 26, 1997. Game 7 of the World Series between the Indians and the Florida Marlins. Just hours earlier, Brandon's father, Bobby Bonilla, had hit a leadoff home run in the seventh inning to start a comeback that would give the Marlins their first World Series title.
One of Brandon Bonilla's earliest memories comes from just five days after his fourth birthday and involves champagne -- lots and lots of champagne.
It was Oct. 26, 1997. Game 7 of the World Series between the Indians and the Florida Marlins. Just hours earlier, Brandon's father, Bobby Bonilla, had hit a leadoff home run in the seventh inning to start a comeback that would give the Marlins their first World Series title.
After 11 innings and a 3-2 victory, Bobby would get to celebrate with his son as a champion.
"I just remember the champagne going all over the place," Brandon said. "I was so young at the time. I was so nervous, but I do remember just that one glimpse."
Brandon, a left-handed pitcher from Grand Canyon, became the Orioles' 25th-round selection in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft on Saturday, and should he decide to forgo his final year of eligibility at GCU, he'll join his father -- the five-time All-Star -- as the second member of his family to play professional baseball.
Of course, Brandon has benefited from his father's Major League experience. He spent time in big league clubhouses, including the one in Baltimore, where his father played from 1995-96.
"You walk in to Camden Yards," Brandon said, "and you just feel baseball."
Inside Major League clubhouses, Brandon got a feel for how the pros went about their daily life. That helped him just as much as the sage advice from his father, and godfather Barry Bonds.
Bobby befriended Bonds when the two were teammates for the Pirates from 1986-91 and the home run champion agreed to be Brandon's godfather. Bobby and Bonds combined for more than 1,000 home runs in their career, but Brandon flashes his power from the mound.
"I've always loved hitting, and I still do to this day. There's going to be times where I just go to the cage and hit," Brandon said. "I felt really confident that I could get to the next level with pitching, so I just kept pitching."
Brandon primarily throws two pitches and is fastball dominant. His heater gets up into the mid-to-high 90s, although he does have command issues, and his curveball is an effective secondary pitch. He sometimes throws a splitter and is working on developing a changeup.
As a power lefty with quality stuff and a 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame, his potential is evident.
"He's got tremendous upside," Grand Canyon head coach Andy Stankiewicz said. "I think he'd be the first to tell you he's a work in progress."
"He needs some professionalizing," O's director of scouting Gary Rajsich added.
Brandon transferred to GCU after playing his freshman season at perennial power Arizona State. At the time, the Antelopes played in Division II and the fact that someone would transfer from mighty ASU to little-known Grand Canyon caught his new teammates more off-guard than his famous lineage. They were simply too far removed from an era when Bonilla was a star.
"I don't even think most of my players would know who Don Mattingly was if he didn't manage the Dodgers," Stankiewicz said.
The day that Bonilla arrived on campus, Stankiewicz sat him down and told him to just try to "be a part of the guys."
Like any newcomer in an already molded clubhouse, there were some growing pains at first, but he ultimately fit in to become a staple. During his first season with the 'Lopes, Bonilla led all relievers with 24 appearances and went 2-0 with a 3.38 ERA.
Even last season, when he had to sit out due to academics, Bonilla was at every practice and in the dugout for every home game.
Soon enough, the only person who would ever give Bonilla a hard time was himself.
"I'm just trying to get him to relax," Stankiewicz said. "When you're dad's Bobby Bonilla -- a Major League ballplayer -- you put a little pressure on yourself. You want to live up to some people's expectations. I think that's always there."
His academic issues this past year made him difficult to scout. The Orioles were relegated to working him out and having him pitch in situations, rather than actual games. Still, it was enough for Baltimore to see a potential "huge arm," Rajsich said.
The O's know there is a good chance Bonilla could return to school for his senior year, though. Bobby wants his son to get his degree, Stankiewicz said. For now, Brandon has six weeks to weigh a couple quality options.
"I like where I'm at," Bonilla said. "I can go to college, I can pursue my career with the Orioles. So we'll just see how it goes day by day."

It took a while to shake off the rust from a 10-day layoff, but once that happened, the unbeaten GNB Voc-Tech boys basketball team shaked and baked its way to its fourth straight victory.
NEW BEDFORD — It took a while to shake off the rust from a 10-day layoff, but once that happened unbeaten GNB Voc-Tech boys basketball team shaked and baked its way to its fourth straight victory and a 3-0 start in the South Coast Conference.
Cory Ponte led three players in double figures with 24 points and Derek Lewis and Trevor Mena chipped in with 14 and 13, respectively, as the Bears used an 11-0 third quarter run to turn a two-point lead into a 13-point cushion en route to a 69-54 victory over winless Seekonk in the Bears' Den Friday night.
With the win, the Bears improved to 4-0 overall and 3-0 in the SCC, while Seekonk dropped to 0-6 and 0-4, respectively.
"That 10-day layoff scared me and we were pretty stagnant in the first half, but we came around and played like we're capable of playing in the second half and it paid off in a nice win for us," head coach Boomer Rodrigues said. "Our defense was very good in that second half and we got contributions from a lot of people, but I thought Derek (Lewis) was tremendous."
In addition to matching his career-high in points, the 6-foot-5 senior center also grabbed a game-high 17 rebounds — a dozen of those coming in a second half that saw the Bears outscore the Warriors, 38-26, to win going away.
A 10-0 run in the final 3� minutes of the first quarter helped the home team erase a 9-6 deficit and, after grabbing the lead, 10-9, on a Ponte driving layup, Voc-Tech never looked back.
The Bears led, 16-14, after one quarter, 31-28 at the half and used a 22-12 third quarter advantage to take a 53-40 lead into the final eight-minute session.
Only the shooting of the Dan Silva kept Seekonk in the game as the senior drilled five of his team's eight 3-pointers on his way to a co-game-high 24 points. He hit at least one shot from behind the stripe in all four quarters to lead three Warriors in double figures. Josh Silva scored 11 points and Jordan Nicholaus chipped in with 10.
THE TURNING POINT: The 10-0 first quarter run seemed to shake the rust off the Voc-Tech offense, and the 11 unanswered points in the third quarter helped put the game away.
MORE PRAISE FOR LEWIS: "He really stepped up when we needed someone to step up in the second half. I don't know how many rebounds he got for us in that third quarter (seven), but it seemed as though he was putting back every missed shot on the offensive end for a while," Rodrigues said of his 6-5 veteran center.
STATISTICALLY SPEAKING: The Bears converted 29 of 63 shots from the field for 46 percent, while the Warriors hit on 18 of 55 attempts for 33 percent. From the foul line, Voc-Tech was 10-for-17 and Seekonk 10-for-16. The visitors drained eight shots from behind the 3-point line, while Voc-Tech connected on two.
NOTES: When Lewis went to the bench for a break, the Bears didn't lose a step in the low post as 6-6 junior Nick Portelance came in to grab eight rebounds and score eight points in a reserve role. Two of his points came off a first-half tip when he and Ponte both followed up a missed shot, but it was later confirmed the ball went in off Nick's hand into the basket. ... Speaking of Ponte, the 24 points moves the senior to within 60 of the 1,000-point mark for his career. ... Mena had, perhaps, his best game of the season with his first double-figure effort, half of his six field goals coming on nifty drives to the basket. The hard-working senior guard also chipped in with several assists and added four steals. ... The Bears face what should be their stiffest test of the still-young season when they host Dighton-Rehoboth in a key South Coast Conference game on Wednesday. The Falcons, Bears and Vikings of Wareham are generally regarded as the top three teams in the conference.
Nicholaus 3-4-10, D. Silva 8-3-24, J. Silva 3-2-11, Basile 2-0-4, Vincente 2-0-4, Zimmerman 0-1-1. Totals: 18-10-54.
Walsh 1-0-2, Martins 2-0-4, Lewis 6-2-14, Ponte 9-5-24, Mena 6-0-13, Portelance 4-0-8, Gonzalez 0-2-2, Soares 0-1-1, Hinchcliffe 0-1-1. Totals: 28-10-69.
Seekonk 14 14 12 14 — 54
GNB Voc-Tech 16 15 22 16 — 69
3-point goals: S-D. Silva 5, J. Silva 3. VT-Ponte, Mena.
Next game: Voc-Tech hosts Dighton-Rehoboth at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Padded wooden chair, United Kingdom, 1770-1823
Overcome by illness and the effects of a stroke Dr Edward Jenner (1749-1823) died in this padded wooden chair in 1823. Jenner was an English country doctor. He introduced vaccination to protect people from smallpox. The results of his study into vaccination were published in 1798. His apparent discovery met much opposition and even ridicule. However, smallpox vaccination was made compulsory in 1853 in England and Wales. This occurred 30 years after Jenner's death. The law was abolished in 1909 after much campaigning by anti-vaccination leagues.

Top 10 quirky museums around the world
Hear the word museum and odds are you conjure up an image of portrait halls and sculpture gardens - the traditional home of traditional art. However, the world is a huge, creative and even quirky place.travel Updated: May 21, 2013 14:49 IST
Hear the word museum and odds are you conjure up an image of portrait halls and sculpture gardens - the traditional home of traditional art. However, the world is a huge, creative and even quirky place. So to satisfy those offbeat tastes online travel adviser Cheapflights.com has come up with its Top 10 quirky museums. Reuters has not endorsed this list:
1. Leeds Castle Dog Collar Museum, Kent, England
A medieval manor must have dogs. And so, fittingly, Leeds Castle, the former property of six medieval queens, has an outstanding homage to the many hunting and gun dogs, guard mastiffs and house pets that have been part of the storied history of this home. The castle's collection of dog collars, the largest of its kind, covers 500 years of canine neckwear from spiked iron collars that protected dogs from the wilds of the forest to highly decorated engraved silver and baroque leatherwork pieces to the padlocked brass rings worn by service dogs during World War II. This display began as a gift to the dog-loving final mistress of the house, Lady Baillie, and continues to grow through the efforts of the Leeds Castle Foundation.
2. International Spy Museum, Washington, D.C., USA
How do you know what happens in the most secretive profession in the world? Visit the International Spy Museum in downtown Washington, D.C., for a lesson in espionage and intrigue. With a Spy School featuring interactive exhibits on such spycraft activities as disguise and surveillance and an extensive display of gadgets and weapons from the field, this collection makes the seaming unreal life of secret agents suddenly very real. Add in history lessons on the covert role of espionage from the Civil War through the Atomic Bomb to the full story behind the movie "Argo," and this museum brings the shadowy world (and impact) of professional spies into the limelight. While there are more than enough real-life spy stories to fill the museum, the escapades of James Bond are so central to the realm of intrigue that a new exhibit, "Exquisitely Evil: 50 Years Of Bond Villains," connects the dots between fiction and fact.
3. Venustempel Sexmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands
A short walk from Central Station in Amsterdam brings you to Venustempel (Venus Temple), the world's original sex museum. Founded in 1985, this tour through the sensual offers more education than titillation with rooms named for Mata Hari, the Marquis de Sade and Oscar Wilde that offer a glimpse into sex practices and attitudes across decades and around the world. Of course there is no shortage of erotic displays and so, with no restrictions on photos, the museum also offers endless opportunities for amusing (or embarrassing) souvenir snapshots. Just remember you must be 16 or older to enter.
4. Diefenbunker, Canada's Cold War Museum, Ottawa, Canada
A once-secret bunker built to house leaders of the Canadian government in the event of a nuclear war, the Diefenbunker is a vast underground history lesson about the cold war era. The four-story, 100,000-square-foot complex, buried under a hillside in the village of Carp, just west of Canada's capital, was ready to be the operational center for government. Equipped with an "Emergency Government Situation Center," a Cabinet War Room, and a CBC radio station as well as living quarters, a medical room and a mess hall, this bunker brings home just how close leaders felt we were to a nuclear catastrophe. Visitors can walk down the long blast tunnel, see the offices and sit in the seats of power that were all ready and waiting in the event the cold war went hot.
5. Sulabh International Museum of Toilets, New Delhi, India
A museum of toilets and toilet history has its lighthearted moments. After all, potty humor isn't just for five year olds. Still, there are important and interesting lessons to be learned with the study of toilets, and the Sulabh Museum is the place to learn them. The museum recounts more than 4,000 years of history and displays artifacts dating back to 1145 AD. From the simple and practical to the ornate and innovative, the range of toilets, bidets, chamber pots and more tells a story of evolution. In addition to entertaining and educating visitors, this museum, which is an offshoot of the non-profit organization Sulabh International, puts the focus on the real challenges of sanitation management that have plagued the world and continue to challenge India and the Indian culture.
6. Museum of Apiculture, Radovljica, Slovenia
Beekeeping! That's the story the Museum of Apiculture tells and in a very charming way. The long-standing practice is a cornerstone of Slovenian culture and the history is captured here. Since opening in 1959 in a 14th century manor house in the old part of town, the museum has been collecting and keeping records for the region and proudly displays the contributions of local beekeeping legends Anton and Peter Pavel Glavar as well as the introduction of Slovenian bred bee species. While hundreds of years of innovation are on display, the most eye-catching collection is the array of painted frontal boards of bee hives. This folk art custom, which is unique to Slovenia, was most popular in the early 1800s and the scenes range from religious to political to historical to everyday living.
7. International UFO Museum, Roswell, New Mexico, USA
Roswell, New Mexico, was a sleepy corner of the country until a rancher came upon a crash site just outside of town in July 1947 and the questions began. The search for UFOs (unidentified flying objects) is a passion point for many, and this museum, which opened in 1992 and has outgrown its first two locations, is the central point for that passion. In addition to exhibits on the incident in 1947, visitors and researchers have ready access to information on abductions, sightings, crop circles and Area 51. The museum also helps host an annual Roswell UFO Festival each year in the first week of July.
8. Museum of Human Disease, Sydney, Australia
Care to look death in the face? The Museum of Human Disease is your chance! This collection of more than 3,000 specimens, taken from diseased or dead patients, shows what the leading causes of death in Australia really look like. The extensive pathology exhibit (think rows of jars with organs altered by illness, defects and tumors of every kind), housed in the University of New South Wales School of Medical Sciences in Sydney, is carefully catalogued and paired, when possible, with a clinical history that tells the patient's story. With specimens dating back more than 100 years, some diseases on display are no longer real health threats. However, the tobacco wall of shame is just one of the ways the museum underscores the control we have over our bodies and our health.
9. The Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum, Osaka, Japan
The annual worldwide consumption of instant noodles hovers around 1 billion servings. Not bad for a product only invented in 1958. The story of the creation and global takeover of instant noodles is told here at the Instant Ramen Museum, which is centered around a replica of a research shack where Momofuku Ando first created the "Chicken Ramen" that started it all. Other highlights include a CUPNOODLES theater, shaped like the just-add-water product Momofuku Ando brought to market in 1971, a display of the "Space Ram" noodles developed for Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi to bring on the Space Shuttle Discovery and an exhibit of instant noodles products from around the world. However, for the complete ramen experience, make sure to leave time (and make a reservation) for the hands-on workshop where visitors stretch, steam and then "flash fry" dry their own noodles. Want to just create your own flavor concoction? Then step into the My Cup Noodle Factory to pick your own soup recipe and bring home a personalized cup of noodles.
10. Vulcan Tourism & Trek Station, Vulcan, Alberta, Canada
Perhaps it's not a surprise to see a spaceship looming on the horizon of a town named Vulcan. It is certainly a brilliant move on the part of the town's tourism board. A tribute to the fictional Vulcan, the home of "Star Trek's" Mr. Spock, the out-of-this-world-shaped Vulcan Tourism and Trek Station is chock full of memorabilia (including a set of ears donated by Leonard Nimoy himself) from the many characters, movies and TV shows from this legendary sci-fi franchise. With greetings written in English, Vulcan and Klingon, a large-scale replica of the Starship Enterprise, floor-to-ceiling space murals and costumes and cut-outs for photo ops, there is plenty for any Trekkie to love. Add in a chance to sit in Kirk's chair or go through a Vulcan space adventure mission, and it's no wonder this museum has succeeded in putting Vulcan on the map.

"Are you insane? Do you know how hot and humid it is down there in the summer?" That was the typical response I received whenever I mentioned I was going to New Orleans in July.
Turns out it was a bit crazy, but in a good way. Sure, it was hot. And humid. But frankly, it was hotter the day I arrived home to Calgary. At least I had air conditioning in my hotel room in New Orleans! The trick is not to spend the whole day outside, which in NOLA is pretty easy. Almost everywhere has air conditioning, so it's easy to duck in, grab a beverage and cool off.
Use the opportunity to try one of NOLA's most famous delicacies - beignets (pronounced ben-yeas). These square-shaped, doughnut-like pastries, minus the hole, are doused in icing sugar and delicious! I don't even like doughnuts, but beignets I love. I prefer the ones at Café Beignet (cafebeignet.com), bigger and tastier than their famed Café du Monde counterparts, and with a smaller lineup, too.
Summertime is the perfect chance to stay in a swankier hotel than your budget might allow.
For instance, the historic Hotel Monteleone (hotelmonteleone.com) offers a summer promo of $119 per night (plus tax) for rooms that otherwise go for upwards of $300. Located right in the French Quarter, the Monteleone is a grand ol' hotel featuring the renowned Carousel Bar that actually revolves. Surrounded by several unique antique, jewelry, art and clothing stores, it also offers a rooftop pool.
Mouth-watering deals are available through COOLinary New Orleans. Every August, participating restaurants offer three-course lunches for $20 or less and threecourse dinners at $35. This is a great way to check out the city's varied culinary styles, including down-home Creole and Cajun cooking, including the popular Muriel's restaurant (muriels.com). This beautiful historic home-cum-restaurant has a special energy, perhaps due to its resident ghosts. Take a peek upstairs in the Seance lounges and the outdoor balcony for a great view. To save more bucks, put on your walking shoes, grab your water bottle, and hit the streets. The Crescent City is very walkable, especially in the French Quarter. And in summer, it's far less crowded, so there's no fighting through the swarming tourists and endless lineups. Instead, stroll leisurely through the Quarter, NOLA's epicentre for food, music and shopping.
The stately architecture features iconic Creole cottages and townhouses with Spanish influence, built after the great fire of 1788. All of the intricate iron-laced balconies are Spanish imports. On Chartres Street, visit the beautiful Ursuline Convent - the oldest building in the Mississippi River Valley. Completed in 1752, it is also the oldest surviving example of the French Colonial period in the United States.
Head to St. Louis Cathedral, facing Jackson Square, a striking building that is the oldest continuously active Roman Catholic Cathedral in the United States, originally built in 1727 and dedicated to King Louis IX of France. If you're up for a little splurge ($18 US per person), hop aboard one of the mule-drawn carriages to take an overview tour of the Quarter (neworleanscarriages.com). Many of the homes are of Greekrevival, Italianate and Colonial designs - showpieces for the city's most famous architects.
So yes, it is hot down in N'awlins. Hot fun in the summertime, that is.

Los Angeles Unified School District Compliance Review
The Los Angeles Unified School District (District), entered into an agreement
to resolve a Title VI compliance review that OCR initiated that focused on
the educational opportunities of the District's English Learners and comparability
of resources for African-American students. Under the agreement, entered into
prior to the conclusion of OCR's investigation, the District will revamp its
entire program for English Learners and accelerate its efforts focused on closing
the achievement and opportunity gap for African-American students. The district
will also increase the focus on college- and career-ready curricula and programs
and ensure access to needed supports, including effective teachers, to accelerate
student progress. The agreement requires the District to create a new English
Learner Master Plan with guidance for its EL program, dedicate the resources
needed to implement the plan, and evaluate the program's success in teaching
students English and enabling them to perform academically at grade level.
EL students in middle and high school who have been in the District's program
for many years without becoming English proficient, will receive immediate
intervention services. The District will ensure that staff is held accountable
for delivering the EL program, and an enhanced professional development plan
will support teachers in strengthening their delivery of instruction to EL
students. Parents of EL students will receive information that enables them
to understand the District's EL program and their children's progress in learning
English. In addition, the District will adopt measures to ensure equitable
access to resources such as technology and library materials, and will take
steps to increase the participation of African American students eligible for
gifted and talented programs. The District will also address the academic
language proficiency and needs of African American students. The District
will eliminate the inequitable discipline of African American students. The
agreement requires the District to implement steps to achieve significantly
higher student and teacher attendance. In addition, the agreement includes
a first-of-its-kind pilot project for a community school in a predominantly
African American neighborhood that will provide wrap-around health and social
services. For both the EL and African American student populations, the agreement
requires the District to provide parents and students with information and
support so that students can succeed in post-secondary education and/or careers.
Professional development will be provided for all middle and high school counselors
and administrators to strengthen these efforts. Read

I cannot believe that COTY is almost upon us once again- there are only a few shows left, so I'm sure that many of you are starting to get anxious about whether you will qualify or not. Please do not allow anxiousness to become unpleasant – all exhibitors would love to qualify but there are limited "places" to fill, so even if your cat doesn't make it- be excited and happy for the owners whose cats do qualify.
Rand Cat Club will be hosting this year's COTY which is being generously sponsored by Royal Canin.
The World Cat Congress was held in Miami, Florida, USA in March and the SACC Treasurer, Jan van Rooyen, attended as SACC Delegate. The report from this congress will appear in the next newsletter.
SACC will once again be in charge of the Cat Hall at WODAC this year. Please contact the SACC Office if you are able to help in any way at WODAC- this is a busy weekend for Jan and his Show Team and all assistance will be welcomed with open arms. Unfortunately shows don't get put together by themselves-
they take a lot of hard work, time and effort by a few dedicated people; perhaps everyone should remember this when "the undercurrent grumbling" begins at shows or on social network sites.
Good Luck for COTY.
To all SACC Members
Because the 2014 Show Season is almost upon us, please take time to become familiar with the Show Rules- the rules are there for your protection as well as for the protection of the Organisation.
Please remember there is only one winner at the end of the day - a beautiful cat. Let's be happy for the owner, regardless of who he or she is. This is regarded as good sportsmanship in any organization.
To all SACC Breeders
I'm sure the world is a happier place because of all those beautiful South African bred kittens you are successfully raising – please register all your kittens, even the non-show quality babies, because it is an important part of being a responsible breeder. After all, how can a person criticise back yard breeders, if he/she is registering only part of a litter?
Have a fun filled year!
Ngaio Crawley
Vice Chairman, SACC
The Society was founded in 1949 when a small group of enthusiasts, particularly interested in the Siamese Cat, met and discussed the idea of laying down a standard for the breed, based on that existing overseas, and the holding of shows to encourage breeders to improve local standards and foster a better understanding of the care and management of cats in general.
The founder members of the Society were Gladys Haswell, Rosemary Harte and the Rev. and Mrs. Oliver. A stimulus was given to the activities of the Society when the late Mrs. Stewart and Dr. F.G. Stewart joined the committee and their intimate knowledge of show procedure was made available to the Society
The Siamese Cat Society of SA changed its name on 27 February 1984 to become the Transvaal Cat Society. Their first show was held in the Norwegian Hall in de Villiers Street, Johannesburg, in 1950 and apparently attracted "long queues of people". Dr and Mrs Stewart, who had not long since immigrated from England where they were very involved with the cat fancy, were essential to the show, as they were the "only people in Johannesburg… who knew anything about shows or how to run them." (RCC newsletter, reprinted in Cats Calling August 1961). Both were judges, but on this occasion, Dr Stewart had to run the show, so Mrs Stewart judged every exhibit.
These two also undertook the judges' training in Johannesburg. At the time of the Society's establishment, Siamese were by far the most popular breed in South Africa, with some 1 400 being registered countrywide by 1955. The Siamese Cat Society was one of the first members of the Associated Cat Clubs of SA, the forerunner of SACC, along with the Rand Cat Club, Natal Cat Club, and Western Province Cat Club. Rosemary Harte moved to Cape Town, where she was very well known for many years. Mr John Oliver remained a Siamese enthusiast and passed away only recently.

Diamond Fruit Company hosts an open house on April 24, celebrating its centennial.
The event goes from 1-3 p.m., with cake and refreshments served, and tours "for those who haven't been through; they can see what a packing house looks like," said DFG President David Garcia.
"It will have the theme of looking back at the 100 years and how we got here," Garcia said.
The Diamond cooperative started out as Apple Growers Association in 1913, back when apples were virtually the only fruit grown in the valley.
In the first years of the 20th century, Hood River valley was strawberry-growing territory.
Since then, strawberries are essentially a local crop, apples shrink each year in their total portion of overall fruit volume, and this rich agricultural area has evolved into one of the nation's top pear-producing regions, and that is by far the primary fruit coming in and out of the massive packing house in downtown Odell.
Diamond is part of a complex of three packing houses, with Duckwall-Pooley and Stadelman Fruit, within a five-block radius, doing the same work for local growers.
Diamond will host an employee luncheon on April 24 and then open the doors to the public.

Hail Mi Irieites,
The Ghanian poet Kofi Awoonor lost his life in the terrorist attack on Nairobi's Westgate mall, along with a growing number of victims still being counted. Here is a prophetic excerpt from one of his last poems:
We are the celebrants
whose fields were
overrun by rogues
and other bad men who
interrupted our dance
with obscene songs and bad gestures
As the smoke clears, and the stories start coming out, like this one about the courage of a four-year old child, let us pause and consider the idea that the taking of an innocent human life is ever justified. It is not, and can never be. No god or God would ever condone it.
And it is when we think about the ideologues who masterminded this heinous act that we should remind ourselves to always remember our humanity. We are all born of One Love. Without this Love, we are no better than animals. Let us condemn all people who plot and scheme to kill their brothers and sisters in the name of religion. There is no glory or grace for these haters.
Let us pray, Mi Irieites, that the lives of these innocent were not lost in vain. There were people of all nationalities in Westgate mall. Let us honor them all.
Kenya, stand strong. The good people of this world stand with you. Let us unite and work together to defeat the purveyors of hate. Steel Pulse has always believed in the triumph of LOVE over HATE. Always and in all ways.
Jah Bless Kenya, and the innocents who lost their lives.

BELLEFONTE, Pa., May 8 (UPI) -- Prosecutors have changed the year a Penn State graduate assistant allegedly walked in on a shower and saw Jerry Sandusky with a boy from 2002 to 2001.
Frank Fina wrote in a motion the alleged incident in which prosecutors said Sandusky sexually assaulted the boy in a locker room shower happened Feb. 9, 2001, not March 1, 2002, as the prosecution originally alleged, the Centre Daily Times of State College, Pa., reported Tuesday.
The motion did not say what led to the change but called it a "result of specific and authenticated findings" in the investigation. Fina said state law allows for a change in the date of the offense if it doesn't change the offense.
Sandusky's lead defense attorney, Joe Amendola, is barred form speaking to the media because of a gag order.
Lawyers for two university officials charged with lying to a grand jury and not properly reporting suspected child abuse said the change in the date indicates prosecutors filed charges against them before they knew the facts, the State College (Pa.) News reported.
In a statement Monday, the lawyers for Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley, who is on leave from the university, and Gary Schultz, who retired from Penn State as the vice president for business, said: "As we stated in our filings on Friday, the Commonwealth charged this case before it knew the facts. Now, it is clear that Mike McQueary [the graduate assistant] was wrong in so adamantly insisting that the incident happened the Friday before Spring Break in 2002."
Curley and Shultz are seeking to have the charges against them dismissed.
Sandusky, a former assistant football coach, faces 52 criminal charges for allegedly sexually abusing 10 boys during a 15-year span.
He has maintained his innocence.

Making Cross-Curricular Connections with Literacy
By Javonne Stewart, Sixth Grade Lead Teacher
Attributed to Margaret Fuller, an American writer, journalist, and literary critic, "Today a reader, tomorrow a leader" is a quote that has shaped my approach to teaching nonfiction reading in all subject areas. Reading is truly the gateway to knowledge, creativity, and exploration. I believe that encouraging students to be avid readers is the beginning to shaping and molding the leaders of tomorrow. This is why a focus on literacy is both exciting and fulfilling. At Trinity, we are equipped with the tools to teach reading in a way that allows students to inquire, understand different perspectives, and drive change.
Non-fiction reading allows students to not only imagine but also solve problems in all content areas: word problems in mathematics, hypotheses in the sciences, and social issues in world cultures. Ben Johnson, an author and educator for Edutopia.com, writes, "In order for all this [cross-curricular instruction] to happen in a sustainable way in our schools, deeper learning requires that groups of teachers pool their talents, resources, time, and efforts to maximize coherence, relevance, and connections among the content areas."
Trinity is already ahead of the game. Empowering students in their learning is a pillar of our community, a permanent fixture. Because of this, my reading instruction focuses on students' not only developing a deeper understanding of how to read, but also building a reading toolbox of skills that will help them excel in school and throughout their life. Ultimately, I hope that students will leave Trinity as critical readers who are open to what reading has to offer and able to make decisions based on the knowledge that they have gained through reading.
How might reading instruction do this? At Trinity, instruction for the younger learners focuses mostly on decoding, blending words, developing stamina, and acquiring vocabulary. As students reach the Upper Elementary Division, the focus moves to comprehension and literary analysis, differentiation between certain types of texts, and research skill development. Students in Fifth and Sixth Grade are encouraged to think more deeply while reading, to determine fact versus opinion, to make evidenced-based arguments, and to develop their own thought processes.
For example, in my Sixth Grade social studies class I teach students that to engage with a text in a thoughtful and purposive manner requires preparation. At the beginning of the school year, prior to students' reading about a particular topic, I prepare them to be critical thinkers and readers by having them participate in debate exercises. The game Pro/Con is one such exercise.
During Pro/Con, two students sit in chairs that face one another. One student is asked to be the defender and the other is asked to be the controller. I give the defender a topic, such as "conflict," and the controller is given the responsibility of changing between the words "pro" and "con." As the controller switches, the defender must give as many reasons as possible that make an argument for or against the word "conflict."
Through this exercise, students learn that there is always more than one side to a story and that having prior knowledge about a topic helps them build an argument. We do this activity again after reading about conflict within a civilization, ancient Rome for example, and this time students have to use evidence from the text to support their assertions. This may seem complicated, but students learn that:
evidence-based assertions lend credibility to their argument;
research skills are necessary to take a stance, and thorough research makes for a stronger argument; and
reading (comprehension, making assertions, critical analysis, etc.) is what underpins the credibility of their argument.
Pro/Con is also a gateway into teaching students that these literacy skills can be used in all content areas. For example, in science, your hypothesis does not stick unless you have evidence to back it up. In math, showing your work is proof that your answer is strong. In language arts, your ideas are more developed when details are added or when they are well-researched with evidence and citations included.
The beauty of the debate activities in my social studies class is that students are completely engaged in crafting their sides of an argument and, at the same time, they are reading across the content area, making assertions, and refuting statements. They are, in essence, questioning the author, identifying problems, and devising solutions. These are all skills that are learned through a strong nonfiction reading program. Simultaneously, students are empowered as critical thinkers: thinkers who can pull apart (deduce) and put together (synthesize) information, and who can formulate their own ideas and opinions.
By making cross-curricular connections with literacy and other essential skills, Trinity students are empowered to take ownership of their learning, paving the way for them to be the leaders of tomorrow.

Sapphire HD 3850 Review
Christmas is just a short time away, what does this mean in the computer enthusiasts world? This means that there will be more and more games released that will demand a video card that can handle all of the intense graphics that will be thrown at it. The Sapphire HD3850, a card that was just released, is one card that may be able to handle it, with all of the new features that have been thrown together. When the Sapphire HD3850 was released, it did not come to the table all by itself, Sapphire released its big brother at the same time, the Sapphire HD 3870. This card has a load of great features that from the looks of it, will be able to handle all of the new games such as Crysis, Call of Duty 4, Assassins Creed, and Hellgate: London... all of which will be available for the 2007 Christmas season. In this review, we will be taking a look at the Sapphire HD3850 and seeing how well this card will be able to handle the current games and if the HD3850 is going to be a great addition to your Christmas Wish List.
Closer look:
The Sapphire HD3850 card comes packaged in a great looking case with an attractive computer generated woman on the front. Not only will this woman grab your attention, the list of some of the features this card has on the front will grab your attention and make you anxious to open the package up. On the reverse side of the box, you will be able to read a few words about the technology of the card and the improvements.
The Sapphire HD3850 comes packaged like many other video cards, in a brown cardboard box that has a nice foam housing keeping the card from recieving any damages that could occur during the shipping process. Not only is it protected from physical damages, it is also wrapped up in an anti-static shock bag which will keep all the electrical components on the Sapphire HD3850 safe.
Underneath the foam inside of the box is where Sapphire placed all of the accessories that were packaged with the HD3850. This includes the User Manual, a few CDs, a 4-pin to 6-pin power adapter, a few video adapters and a crossfire bridge (Revision C). The CDs that were included were DVD Suite, Power DVD, 3DMark06, and most importantly the Drivers Installation CD.

News Release: June 20, 2013
Docket Nos. EC12-145-000, ER12-2681-000, ER12-2682-000, ER12-2693-000
Item Nos. E-3, E-4, E-5 & E-13
FERC Approves Entergy-ITC Holdings Asset Transfer
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) today approved the merger of Entergy Corporations interstate transmission system with that owned by ITC Holdings Corp., saying the transaction is consistent with the public interest and meets the tests of the Commissions merger policy.
Todays orders give FERCs approval to a complex, multi-step transaction that proposes to transfer Entergys transmission assets in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas to a new set of companies owned by ITC Holdings, which is based in Michigan and operate transmission in Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas and Oklahoma. FERCs actions today also facilitate the integration of the new companies transmission assets into the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO). The transaction still must be approved by state regulators in the Entergy operating region.
All this was done in a package of four FERC orders involving the combination of the transmission businesses of the two companies. In addition to approving the transaction under section 203 of the Federal Power Act and determining that the deal is consistent with section 305(a) of the Federal Power Act (EC12-145-000), FERC approved the formula rates to be charged by the new ITC operating companies (ER12-1681-000) and certain jurisdictional agreements as part of the application, as well as other necessary service filings that will govern the operation of the new ITC operating companies within MISO (ER-12-2682-000, ER12-2693-000).
Under the transaction, Entergys existing operating companies will separate their transmission assets into companies that will be owned by an intermediate holding company called Entergy Mid South. The common units of Entergy Mid South will then be distributed to Entergys shareholders in a spinoff or a split-off, and Entergy Mid South will merge with ITCs intermediate holding company, ITC Midsouth.
Entergys shareholders will own a majority of the common stock of ITC Holdings at closing. The former Entergy transmission businesses held by Entergy Mid South will be held by ITC Holdings through ITC Midsouth. Meanwhile, the Entergy operating companies will continue their ownership of the generation and distribution assets of the companies.
