Coaches are going to be more drawn to players who display genuine interest in their program throughout the recruitment process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Atlantic Cape Community College Football information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Atlantic Cape Community College.
You don't have to quarterback the university football team to a state championship to earn an athletic scholarship. Most major sports that field a team in intercollegiate competition have sports scholarships available. From women's gymnastics to men's track and field, coaches are seeking players to build a team around. Further, that leadership role often is accompanied by a full-scholarship.
The best time to begin searching for scholarships is before your senior year, in order to meet deadlines. Schools confirm that it is important to file financial aid forms such as the CSS Profile early in the school year. There are many sports scholarships that focus on less tangible qualities, such as the ability to lead a team, motivate others, and learn new skills rapidly. Take stock of your athletic abilities as you mature through high school. Sierra Community College rowing club may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Atlantic Cape Community College football games, you may think about Manor College academic programs for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

In 1938, then in Illinois' 18th Congressional District, voters elected Jessie Sumner to Congress — only the third woman from the state to serve in the House. Sumner, running on a vigorous anti-New Deal platform, defeated U.S. Rep. James A. Meeks, a Danville Democrat, in a race that attracted national attention. Well, Sumner attracted national attention with good reason.
There's been some excitement in local political circles that the 13th Congressional District, which includes Champaign-Urbana, could make history next year and elect a female U.S. representative — either Republican Erika Harold of Urbana or Democrat Ann Callis of Edwardsville. They're both on the primary election ballot.
If Callis or Harold is elected to Congress in November, Champaign-Urbana would only be 76 years behind its neighbors in Vermilion, Iroquois, Kankakee, Edgar, Clark and Cumberland counties.
In 1938, then in Illinois' 18th Congressional District, they elected Jessie Sumner to Congress — only the third woman from the state to serve in the House. Sumner, running on a vigorous anti-New Deal platform, defeated U.S. Rep. James A. Meeks, a Danville Democrat, in a race that attracted national attention.
Well, Sumner attracted national attention with good reason.
Got a question for Tom? Submit it here [3]
Jessie Sumner, born on a farm in Iroquois County in 1898, was accustomed to making history: She was the first American woman to study law at Oxford University in England, the first woman elected a county judge in Illinois and, according to her, the first woman elected county judge in any state.
She won election to the bench in December 1937 despite her Democratic opponent's slogan, "You don't want a woman for your county judge!"
That apparently was before such things were tested before focus groups.
Sumner won almost 2-to-1. A few months later she began campaigning for the Republican nomination for Congress, going up against two men from the more populous Vermilion County.
"I hold court in the mornings, sometimes all day, and speak at night but I don't talk about court," she told the Chicago Tribune. "I have a fight on, too. My difficulty is not being able to campaign during the day."
She won the Republican primary and later the general election.
In virtually every newspaper story about her, whether by a man or a woman, the author made some comment about her appearance.
"Miss Sumner is 39, small and auburn haired," reported the Tribune.
A front-page story in the Christian Science Monitored quoted her saying, "I'll dress for Congress, just as I dress as a judge and as I dressed as a lawyer. The clothes will be the very same clothes, too."
The Washington Post wrote, "When Judge Jessie Sumner of Iroquois County, Ill., was a pert young blonde studying law at Oxford ..."
Even The New York Times fell victim: "The spirited woman with the blonde hair and the blue eyes ..."
When she came to Congress in January 1939, Sumner was 40 years old, the youngest woman in the House at a spectacularly historic time. The Depression and Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal were fading but war was on the horizon. Sumner had witty opinions on everything and the newspapers were so eager to report the quotes of this bright, young woman that they regularly called them "Sumnerisms."
On Roosevelt: "Don't ask me to say anything about President Roosevelt. I came to bury Caesar, not to praise him."
On FDR's big spending: "What I believe is the biggest issue will not come before Congress. It is demobilizing the far-spreading, costly army of government employees."
On the difference between a liberal and a conservative: "The conservatives are the 'whys,' the liberals are the 'why-nots.'"
On the possibility of war: "What might seem to be the biggest issue before this Congress is how to keep out of war. But the (federal) departments appear to be following their own private foreign policy and Congress hasn't much to say about it."
On what she'd wear to a Congressional reception: "I'll be turned out in white and look like another Washington Monument."
"She was a hoot," recalled Sumner's niece, Circuit Judge Susan Sumner Tungate of Cissna Park, a judge in Illinois' 21st Circuit, which includes Kankakee and Iroquois counties. "She had her own opinions and wasn't afraid to stand up to anybody. She was a fiery little person."
Tungate was born in 1947, Sumner's last year in Congress, and remembers her aunt only as a former judge and congresswoman who returned home to run the family bank in Sheldon, a position she held until shortly before her death in 1994.
"I don't think she ever thought she was a big shot," said Tungate. "If introduced here she'd say, 'I am Jessie Sumner.' That's all. I would go on trips with her and she would never say, 'I am Jessie Sumner, the retired congressman.' She never said she was a retired judge, she never said anything like that."
Tungate said she believes Sumner wanted to serve in Congress simply because "she was not happy with the way things were going in Washington."
She may have been one of FDR's (and Harry Truman's) most persistent foes. She hit a plan to do a national census of housing in 1940, saying that women would hate the idea of enumerators "snooping in their closets."
In January 1943, a little more than a year into the U.S. involvement in World War II, she introduced a resolution calling for an investigation of peace terms. She spoke out against a "national service" plan that ultimately could conscript women. In 1943 she voted against a resolution calling for postwar collaboration with other nations; two years later she opposed the United Nations Participation Act.
"You know, of course, that this measure gives congressional authority for surrendering the American people to an all-powerful world supergovernment which will be controlled by imperialistic foreign governments, England and Russia," she said.
When I suggested to her niece that Sumner was a member of the tea party before there was one, she disagreed.
"No, I don't think she would be. She would stay within her party and say, 'Look, we need to reconsider this, this and this.' She understood the two-party system and how important it was that both of them were strong. She didn't hate Democrats. We had relatives who were Democrats," said Tungate.
Of her isolationism, she said, "She was in high school when World War I started. Her friends — the guys she played with because she would play baseball with the boys and jacks with the girls and whatever — it's a small town she was coming from, they lost people in World War I.
"She thought it was terrible that these people would come home and they had lost an arm or a leg or they had gotten mustard gassed. That impressed her. I think it really got her and stayed with her the rest of her life."
Jessie Sumner decided suddenly in 1946 that she wouldn't run again. Her reason was a secret kept until today: she thought she was dying.
"She wasn't feeling well and as the story goes — this part is family legend — she went to a doctor in Washington, D.C., and they said that she had cancer. So she finished her term and then went to Mayo (Clinic). They did surgery and sent her home and said there's not much we can do. And she said, 'Forget that.'
"There was a Dr. Kellogg of the cereal fame in Battle Creek, Michigan, and he had a clinic or farm, and people would go there when they were ill. They had a diet that was high in cereals and called for a lot of exercise. She always would walk three to 10 miles a day after that. She would always eat cereal and she was very health-conscious, not that she wouldn't go up to Chicago on occasion for a greasy hamburger. Anyway, the mystery that we all knew had happened but nobody was supposed to tell — she's been dead long enough now that I think it's OK to say that she had an illness. I think she just took the attitude that we're not sure what's wrong but we're going to get it fixed."
And Jessie Sumner lived 48 more years, dying at the age of 96.

Moving forward is a grueling task, especially for a rock band attempting to overcome the death of its lead singer. The creative process is limited to, somehow, honoring the fallen voice while learning how to speak anew.
For Alice in Chains, this meant a hiatus that extended beyond a decade and ended with the inclusion of an outsider to grip the same microphone that had once been Layne Staley's paintbrush.
"Black Gives Way To Blue," the band's first original release since their 1995 self-titled album, is a phoenix-like memorial for Staley, who died of a drug overdose in 2002. The album scatters flashes of future brilliance while constantly reminding listeners that turmoil was the main inspiration.
Immediately, on the opening track "All Secrets Known," the album feels like a warm memory of home with a guitar riff that screams, "this is Alice in Chains." As the band quickly throws in its signature instrumentals –an overpowering bass line by Mike Inez and drumming by Sean Kinney that blends into the background as the song's pulse— the listener is then set up for the vocal shock; William DuVall, formerly of the band Comes with the Fall, and not Staley, is the band's frontman.
The opener is a statement of progression, thrice repeating the lyric "There's no going back to the place we started from." "Check My Brain" follows as the second track and stands out as the hit of the album. Musically, it's reminiscent of "Sea of Sorrow," from the 1990 album "Facelift," and lyrically the song is one of the catchier tracks in the band's library.
The first two tracks use DuVall, both as a guitarist and as a singer, conservatively, suggesting that the band is uncomfortable in trusting him with sensitive songs. But, on the tracks "Last Of My Kind" and "A Looking In View" the group includes him into the writing process, which shows that his influence will incorporate a faster, modern punk vibe. Vocally, DuVall shines on these tracks and brings a sound that feels influenced by a combination of the bands Tool and Velvet Revolver.
Although conservative, the album is flawless in both technique and message. Unsurprisingly, the tracks that use Jerry Cantrell as a duet partner for DuVall and as an acoustic guitarist (notably on "Your Decision" and "When The Sun Rose Again") feel like staples that deserved Staley's voice, but force fans to accept the band's new sound.
The album concludes with a self-titled track that features Elton John on piano. His presence feels more like a marketing ploy or as a tribunal, because the song hardly calls for a talent of his caliber. Regardless, the piano is an excellent touch to a fitting conclusion. The song is a direct tribute to Staley, ending with the lines "Lay down black gives way to blue / Lay down I remember you," and then eerily concluding all at once. The song metaphorically represents the album and the band's direction: moving forward, but forgetting nothing. The abrupt ending leaves the listener wanting more; more from the song; more from the album; more from Staley.
Alice in Chains succeeded in their comeback with "Black Gives Way To Blue." The album is fresh, but reminiscent; inventive, but traditional; and finally ready to move on as a new sound, while rightfully mourning the last.

Carbone's Restaurant
Owner former Nuclear Scientist
by Karen Fetter
Natalie Carbone Mangini has accomplished a well-rounded life that leaves her with no regrets and a lot of fond memories.
Not only has she carried on her family legacy of managing Carbone's Italian Restaurant in Crabtree, PA, but she can look back on a career as a nuclear scientist and a mother of four. So when asked what she felt was her greatest accomplishment, she paused not a second and said it was her children.
The story of this amazing woman stretches back to 1928, when she was born to Nat and Mary Carbone. She was one of three children, including her sister Rosalie and her brother Natale. The Carbone family originally settled in the Crabtree area to work in the coal mines. However, when the opportunity presented itself, her father opted for a career as an entrepreneur.
In 1936, Nat Carbone purchased Jamison Coal and Coke Company's community center building and created a barber shop, candy store, pool room, and bowling alley. The family lived on the second floor and the businesses were on the first floor.
When the building suffered a damaging flood in 1938, Nat decided to start a tavern. He asked his wife three times for permission to acquire a liquor license, but Mary only agreed when he said it would be for a restaurant. She wanted to have a family business where people could bring their children. That's how Carbone's Restaurant began.
While growing up, Natalie always worked at the restaurant, whether as a waitress or in the kitchen. But that was not her only interest. Natalie aspired to be a scientist from a young age. She had chemistry sets and performed a lot of her own experiments. It was no surprise that she would go onto college and study chemistry. When Natalie graduated from Seton Hill College in 1949, she soon after found a job with Westinghouse as a nuclear chemist.
When she arrived at Westinghouse for her interview, she found her prospective employers had assumed that her application was from a man. When they discovered she was a woman, they were unsure about whether to proceed with the interview or not. At that time no women were scientists. But since she was there they interviewed her and she ultimately got the job.
Natalie was the only woman to work on the USS Nautilus (the first nuclear attack submarine) and coauthored the first technical procedure used on the atomic submarine for detecting and disposing of radioactive materials. She attended the welcoming ceremonies for the Nautilus after the historic "Under the Ice" North Pole crossing in 1958.
As a result of her achievements Natalie Carbone Mangini has received many honors. They include the Mademoiselle Award of Merit in Atomic Science in 1958, the Award for Distinguished Italian-American Women in 1958, American Chemical Society Affiliates of Seton Hill College Award in 1959, and the Distinguished Alumnae Award for Seton Hill College in 1994.
Natalie had appearances on What's My Line on August 24, 1958, the Today Show on August 25, 1958, and the Dave Garroway TV Show in 1958. She was also featured in a national advertisement for Seton Hill College that was in Time Magazine and was featured in Mademoiselle Magazine.
She has used her expertise to write and publish four scientific papers and is listed in Who's Who of American Women and in Who's Who in Atoms. In the late 1950s, her popularity and accomplishments were at an all time high. Yet there was still one accomplishment that she had not yet achieved she wanted a family.
Natalie married Vincent Mangini and soon after started that family. As soon as she found out she was pregnant she had to leave her job as a nuclear scientist because of the potential danger to her unborn child. She went on to have four children: Vanessa, Natalie, Vincent, and Melissa. Natalie and her husband Vince co-owned Crabtree Oil Company from 1966 to 1991 while raising their family. Natalie now has six grandchildren: Rosalie, David, Patrick, Donovan, Daniel, and Evangeline.
"I have had a wonderful life but my biggest accomplishment has been my children. They are all different and reflect a little of each of our personalities," said Natalie. After meeting Natalie, who could ever underestimate the strength of a woman or the legacy she has provided both to her family and her community?
While Natalie was concentrating on her family, Nat and Mary Carbone continued on with their restaurant. They were smart, business-minded people. The menu originally consisted of sandwiches, pastas, and salads. But soon a friend that was a regular to the restaurant recommended other items because he and his wife started to gain weight from the pastas and sandwiches. As a result, Nat added meat and fish. The business became a great success and has been a Westmoreland County landmark for generations. Many people became personal friends just from being customers at the restaurant.
In time, they expanded the building and made continuous changes that kept Carbone's Restaurant lively in the area. In fact, Carbone's was one of the first restaurants to buy and use a microwave. They also were first to use carpeting in the dining room area and to have a computer order system.
Carbone's Restaurant was also the first to serve Rolling Rock draft beer and was the longest seller of the local beer.
Natalie's father passed away in 1981 and her mother in 1993. Currently, her daughter Natalie Stefanick and her son Vincent Mangini manage the restaurant, which continues to do well by maintaining its reputation for great food, its innovative edge, and customer service orientation.
Carbone's Restaurant can hold banquets for up to 200 people and has four dining rooms for customers. Customers can also buy Carbone's special sauce and salad dressing. Natalie creates a monthly newsletter for customers and organizes special menu options. Vincent created a Pasta Engineering Contest three years ago for high school students to participate in. Students design bridges out of pasta and whichever bridge can hold the most weight is the winner. The event is one that keeps Carbone's active in the community.
In her life, Natalie Carbone Mangini has used her hands to make food, power nuclear submarines, and to care for children. After meeting Natalie, who could ever underestimate the strength of a woman or the legacy she has provided both to her family and her community? Stop into Carbone's Restaurant, located along Route 119 in Crabtree, and see for yourself.

Second Young Winter Olympian Announces Retirement in Less Than a Month ({{commentsTotal}})
Ski jumper Kaarel Nurmsalu, who recently turned 23, today announced his retirement from professional sport, citing a lack of financial backing. Figure skater Jelena Glebova, 24, retired at the end of May.
"After months of trying to get a budget together for the next season. Kaarel decided to retire. The reasons is simple - the budget wouldn't be sufficient to make the next step," his social media fan site announced today.
He had earlier said he was seeking a minimum of 160,000 euros by the end of May and had already picked out his support team.
Despite posting average results at the Sochi Olympics, Nurmsalu jumped to his best ever result at the beginning of March at a world championship event in Oslo.
He jumped 129 and 123 meters and came sixth. His previous best was 13th.
Nurmsalu began his career as a Nordic combined skier, winning a bronze medal at the 2011 Nordic Junior World Ski Championships in Otepää in both the men's normal hill 5 kilometer and 10 kilometer events. He also won a bronze medal in the men's normal hill ski jump in Otepää.
Both Nurmsalu and Glebova were among the few Estonian winter sport athletes competing in the top 30 in the world.

Ticket Exchange Gives You Flexibility
Free Ticket Exchange
We know schedules change. That's why we make it painless for subscribers to exchange tickets from one performance date to another of the same production (up to two exchanges per patron, upgrade charges may apply; additional exchanges will be charged a service fee of $5.00). We cannot accommodate exchanges between productions. You must exchange your tickets at least 24 HOURS prior to the date of your ticketed performance. Once the performance date has passed, tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded, nor can we give you a tax deductible donation form for turning your tickets back in.
Here's how to make your exchange:
WE CANNOT MAKE EXCHANGES BY EMAIL with so many variables of dates and seating; it's much more efficient for our box office staff to handle exchanges by the following methods:
BY PHONE: Call 206.216.0833. Have at least two optional dates in mind when you call.
BY MAIL: Send your unused tickets, with your name, and the two optional dates for your exchange to:
Book-It Box Office: Ticket Exchange
Center Theatre at the Armory
305 Harrison Street
Seattle, WA 98109
Again, we ask that patrons do not make exchange requests via email. You may choose to have your new tickets emailed to you or held under your name at will-call for pick-up on the evening of the performance.
Can't Use Your Tickets?
If you can't make an alternate date, we suggest two options:
• Give your tickets to a friend—introduce someone new to Book-It!
• Donate your unused tickets back to Book-It and receive a full-value tax deduction. Call the box office by 5pm the day of the performance and we'll send you a donation form for the full value of your tickets.
Oops! Missed your performance?
Bring your unused ticket with you on another night you wish to attend and you'll get a free stand-by ticket.

How to style a blanket scarf four different ways plus coupon code to buy one for yourself!
This post was sponsored by Kelsey's Kloset Boutique, but as always, all opinions are completely my own. As a thank you for reading, we are happy to offer you 10% off of your Kelsey's Kloset Boutique purchase using coupon code AshleyLovesKKB
Good Morning Lovies!
It has been getting colder and colder here in Ohio. I've finally caved in and pulled out all of my winter clothing. I always try to hold onto my summer goods until the absolute last minute, but man, it been so chilly that I finally caved. While I hate giving up on my short sleeves and dresses, I must admit I am excited to get layering!
I've recently found an amazing boutique clothing store in Baltimore, Maryland that has such great pieces called Kelsey's Kloset. If you're not in the Baltimore area, have no fear! They have an amazing online store too! Winter clothing is so great because in my opinion the more layers you add, the better the look. One easy layer to add to just about any outfit is a good scarf. Kelsey's Kloset Boutique sent me one of their brand new blanket scarfs and I am head of heels in love with it. I wanted to share it with you and show you four simple ways I've been incorporating it into my winter wardrobe!Look Number One: My first look is a blanket scarf draped over my shoulders like a shawl. This is by-far the easiest style, and is so simple to do! Simply fold the blanket scarf in half into a large triangle. Drape the triangle over your shoulders for a casual look. Another great style tip- try tying the ends in front of your body for a slightly more polished version (this also helps to prevent the scarf from slipping or moving!)
Look Number Two:This second look is a timeless classic. Like the shawl style, fold your blanket scarf in half into a large triangle. Place the center of the triangle at the nape of your neck. Wrap the ends around your neck, and allow them to fall towards the front. I like to "Fluff" my scarf so it lays in a nicer shape. I like to separate the center of the triangle after wrapping it to show more layers.
Look Number Three: Like the traditional style before, wrap your large folded triangle around your neck just like look number two. Instead of allowing the ends to flow freely, tuck them under for a more tailored look! You can also loosely tie the ends underneath to prevent them from becoming visible.
Look Number Four:I am a sucker for a good infinity scarf- and you can transform any normal scarf into one! Start this one with the large triangle. Slowly start at the tip and loosely roll until you get to the end. Wrap the scarf around your neck twice. Tie the ends into a small knot to secure. Tuck the knot under the other layers to hide it! Voila- Infinity Scarf!
What do you think! All four ways are so simple but create different looks. Don't have a blanket scarf? No worries, Kelsey's Kloset Boutique is offering all of my readers 10% off of their entire purchase. Yes, that is your ENTIRE purchase- not just blanket scarfs! Use the code AshleyLovesKKB at check out! Be sure to check out their other goodies!How do you style your blanket scarf? Be sure to share photos of yourself in your scarf on Instagram and tag @actuallyashleyblogs and @kelseysklosetboutique for a chance to be featured this upcoming week! I can't wait to see the fun styles you guys come up with!
Until Next Time,

Exporting geometry from Solidworks to ICEM!
I can export the geometry from Solidworks to ICEM by changing the file format to IGES. But it effects the quality of my geometry, and more importantly the model is exported to ICEM as one whole unit. I am not able to create parts in ICEM to setup boundary conditions in CFX-Pre. Can anyone help please! Anyone input will be appreciated.
Peace Usman
Re: Exporting geometry from Solidworks to ICEM!
ACIS typically works better than IGES. There is also a Direct CAD Interface from SolidWorks to ICEM - if you have the license for that.
Re: Exporting geometry from Solidworks to ICEM!
How can i export it in ACIS format? I do not have CAD interface license. Is there any other way to separate the parts in Solidworks or in ICEM so that i can set up boundary conditions in CFX-Pre. Thanks

Checking Out… Tableau
Tableau is one of those little boutique shopping sims that make shopping away from strip mall sims such a joy. It's beautiful, offbeat, fun, and its shops are just a joy to poke around in.
Designers and builders featured here range from artist Toast Bard, the eclectic Nylon Pinkney, freebies goldmine Forseti Svarog, builder Ingrid Ingersoll, and the operatic House of Lu.
And then there's the sim itself.
Tableau is like some fabulous midnight psychedelic fantasy of New Orleans – a little bit blue bayou, a little bit decayed Victorian splendour, a little bit glow-in-the-dark funky.
There is a chill out park watched over by its patron saint, St Ingrid the Flatulent. There's the neon graveyard with its neon tombs and fairy party lights. There's the haunted house with the pirouetting furniture. There's the crashed plane you can go have a private dip in. There's the nightclub inside a giant crocodile on the hill.
In short, Tableau is a fine example of what good designers can achieve with a little imagination, vision, and humour. They have created a vivid little sim that not only showcases their builds, but creates a terrific thematic setting for their shops, and is also an enjoyable place to visit just for itself.
Come to Tableau for the shopping. Stay for the fluorescent nightlife.Tags: Ava Lu, Forseti Svarog, freebies, Ingrid Ingersoll, Nylon Pinkney, Prue Lue, Second Life, shopping, Tableau, Toast bard

After engaging in some light debate on a HuffPo piece by Whitney Tilson (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/whitney-tilson/do-schools-matter_b_967425.html), I came to a new understanding of what exactly bothers me so much about KIPP and TFA type "reforms".
For some reason, my thoughts kept coming back to the image of the veteran teacher who inspired Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin to start KIPP. (Was that on Waiting for Superman?) I've heard them interviewed about going to this woman during their time in TFA and learning effective techniques to inspire kids. They said they were so impressed they decided to start a school based on her style of teaching.
Basically, they took a good teacher's good idea and mass marketed it.
My understanding is that KIPP teachers are expected to adhere to very strict guidelines including longer hours, being available by phone, and are taught specific teaching techniques to use and phrases to say. (Kinda reminded me also of that silly binder TFA corp members are given.) Now the thing that goads me is that many teachers do many of these practices already. I know many public school teachers who give out their cell numbers and always take a call from a student or a parent. Most teachers arrive early and stay late anyway. And nearly all teachers are looking to improve their teaching techniques and may use many of the same ideas.
The problem is that the KIPP model tries to make their schools "teacher proof". Perhaps this is why teachers turn over so quickly there, they are expendable. It doesn't really matter if they work them too hard, as long as they follow the given rules, teachers are interchangeable.
I could go on about respect and dignity in the workplace, but I believe there is a more fundamental problem with this type of model. Great teachers may use many of the techniques that KIPP does, but they may also throw all those ideas out the window IF THEY DON'T WORK. That's the thing about teaching unpredictable, creative, impulsive, individual children, there's no telling what they will do! Listen to a teacher's stories someday about the crazy unexpected things that happen on any given day in their classrooms. It's all part of the magic.
However, teachers who were never properly trained, who are relying on scripted curriculum and pre-packaged phrases are not ready to capture many of those teachable moments. Part of being a professional is always adding to your practice. And a seasoned teacher has a bag of tricks ready for nearly any situation.
KIPP and TFA negate the autonomy, the creativity, and the passion that real powerful teaching requires. It cheapens it into something that can be copied quickly. "Do a chant in class and the kids will learn!" Fine, that probably does work for some kids. In fact, I love that idea. I've used that idea. But depending on the kids in front of me, sometimes that's not the way to go so I try something different. No wonder many kids leave charters, the young untrained teaching force is not prepared for their unique learning styles. And then they blame the child. I believe it's called "no excuses".
A school's mission should be to give teachers the best possible learning environment and then let them do what they do best. Figure out the puzzle that is each individual child. We have it backwards in America, we underfund, overcrowd, and stack the deck against even a good teacher, then we tell them what to do and tell them they'd better step in line or risk being held "accountable".
Did the founders of KIPP forget that veteran teacher who taught them so much? Do they really not recognize that great teachers like that are great not because of the "right words" or "right strategies" but because of the passion and creativity they bring? The power to inspire a child cannot be cultivated without serious effort and time as well as encouragement and support. And they sure can't be picked up a "Teacher R'Us" and then replaced as needed.
Let me pull from my bag of teacher tricks now…what is needed for teachers is more encouragement, support, and maybe a gold star wouldn't hurt.

Repair vs Replace Household Appliance Question Answered By AAA Appliance Repair Of Deerfield
AAA Appliance Repair Of Deerfield Offers Guidelines On When To Repair vs Replace.
First, consider the age of the household appliance. Most of them have an average life cycle and after a certain date it is a good idea to replace them.
Secondly, try to ascertain whether or not the household appliance is still under warranty. If so, you may be able to get your unit repaired for free or at a reduced rate.
Next, try to determine the total price of the repair. As a general rule of thumb, if the repair cost is more than half of a new appliance, opt for making the new purchase. AAA Appliance Repair of Deerfield also advised the best time for repairs is when your appliance is still under warranty. Other factors to consider are whether or not the item is obsolete or an antique. For more information on repair vs replace visit: idnho https://www.facebook.com

PJ: "Chocobos, Moogles, Crystals, jobs, Dragoons, Bahamut, Cid... I could probably go on with this forever. Being one of the longest and most notable game series out there, Final Fantasy engraved all these words deep into the hearts of so many players. Now, the release of a remade 14th instalment is drawing near, making everybody unsure whether Square Enix will be able to change the rather negative reputation of the online FFs."
I was in Phase 3 Beta on PS3. I loved it. It's very addictive, as you would expect from an MMO. Im gonna buy this game on PS3 and again when it releases on PS4, next year. If I had to pick just one game to keep me busy for hours upon hours on end...it would be FFXIV. Now I sit impatiently, waiting for the open Beta. ^_^
They might as well have named this game "Final Fantasy Fanservice Reborn", because that's basically what it is... and I love it.

The road trip has come to symbolize numerous things in the milieu of cinema USA. It's freedom, self-discovery, escape, or denial. Whether from Rey, Hellman, Peckinpah, Malick, Reichardt, or as depicted in a sea of sex comedies, horror stories, or motorcycle gang flicks, the road has unspooled across celluloid landscapes as yellow paint races by and voluminous clouds however in the distance. Though far from specific to the U.S. such a story had come to inform many New Hollywood filmmakers and their subsequent acolytes. And at their core, they are films about uncertainty.
The stylistic aping of 70s and 80s horror has become just as much a genre staple as possession films and found footage.
It's another one of these things...
Twilight Zone: Season 5Duration: (1963-1964)Creator: Rod SerlingCompany: Image EntertainmentRelease Date: Sep. 3rd 2013
As horror anthology films go, "The Theatre Bizarre" may be the most varied. Most short films in anthologies have a similar theme, or at least tone. Not this one. From subtle to outlandish, from supernatural to psychological, "The Theatre Bizarre" is all over the map. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, some of the shorts are quite good, just know you need to bring an open mind.
"V/H/S" is a new, independent horror anthology that comes to you from ten, count 'em, ten directors, including current horror golden boy Ti West ("The Innkeepers"). The entire film is shot in a first person "found footage" style, although the subject matter of the stories varies wildly.
Its a smorgasbord of hilarious horror on this week's show.
We go back to the 90's, a magical time of hardcore rap and refried beans, with a review of the Spike Lee-produced anthology film "Tales From The Hood".
There are certain names that are forever linked with the horror genre. Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff will always be remembered for their work on the early Universal creature features. Where those two and Universal left off, Christoper Lee, Peter Cushing and Hammer picked up. Playing Dracula and Van Helsing respectively, Lee and Cushing will probably go down in the annals of the genre much like Lugosi and Karloff before them. So then how is it that a horror film, an anthology film no less, with both Cushing and Lee can go unremembered for so long?
Since the election of President Obama, a lot of people have seemingly been ready to declare racism dead and announce that we now live in a "post-racial" America. Despite the fact that we now have an African-American President, there's a pretty alarming rise in public displays of racism in America today. In fact, just this weekend I witnessed two pretty alarming outbursts directed at minorities while out and about. It was disgusting and pretty shocking to witness something like that, yet alone during the Holiday season.

Today's Woot makes sense on so many levels. It explains everything, actually.
FROM: Dr. Reinhard Van Frightening
TO: My minions, lackeys, goons, and henchpersons
RE: Operation PowerPoint
Greetings, peons! It is I, your unquestioned master, Dr. Van Frightening! First, I want to thank Fatala and the rest of the party planning committee for a really great barbecue this past Memorial Day. An especially nice touch was roasting alive those Interpol informers we found in our ranks. The dark hallways of Castle Van Frightening always seem a little less gloomy when they ring with the screams of those who have betrayed me. And the rest of the food? I may be the super-villain, Fatala, but your banana-walnut pudding is the real threat – to my waistline, that is!
Now, on to business…evil business! As you all know, Operation PowerPoint has been underway for over 20 years now, and it's already showing great results. Our operatives designed PowerPoint to cripple the minds of America's decision makers by reducing their thoughts to short, bulleted lists and easily digestible chunklets of superficial quasi-information. Over time, we hoped, their ability to comprehend complex, detailed ideas would atrophy away. The most powerful men in the world's most powerful nation would be rendered utterly unable to meet the challenges of running the economy and government. And darned if we aren't succeeding. Just pick up a newspaper. There's all the proof you need.
I'm pleased to announce the next phase in Operation PowerPoint. The Gyration GyroTransport Air Mouse makes it easy and fun to give presentations by allowing the victim to move the mouse around in the air like some kind of totally rad video game controller. No surface needed, no wires involved, you don't even have to point it at the screen. And it works from up to 100 feet away. We believe this makes PowerPoint even more insidiously seductive. But that's not all. The GyroTransport's wireless USB transmitter doubles as a 1GB Flash drive, suitable for storing – you guessed it – PowerPoint presentations. Ain't I a stinker?
We've arranged with one of our front companies in Texas to offer the Gyration GyroTransport Air Mouse with 1GB USB Drive at a discounted price of $39.99, to enhance its penetration into the nerve centers of American power. Until our campaign to have 133tsp34k adopted as the U.S.A.'s official language succeeds, this new phase of Operation PowerPoint is our best hope yet of destroying the American intellect. The day draws nearer when everyone on Earth shall squirm beneath my mailed fist. And I couldn't do it without you guys. Thanks – and remember: it's no accident that "insane, murderous megalomaniacal scheme" rhymes with "team"!
Warranty: One year Gyration
- Innovative gyroscopic motion-sensing technology for in-air navigation and cursor control
- Built-in 1GB Flash Memory with auto launch – Take your data anywhere

Thanks for the tip, Jess

The shelves of Guillermo Lasso's office are lined with books that inform his politics: Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations; The Denationalization of Money by Friedrich Hayek; a compendium of cases about free speech from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
"A government cannot regulate freedom of expression," the Ecuadorean conservative opposition leader told the Financial Times before Sunday's presidential election, in which he won more than 28 per cent of the vote. The result will likely force a run-off against Lenín Boltaire Moreno, the anointed candidate of leftwing leader Rafael Correa.
He added: "At home I also have a long interview with Fidel Castro on my desk, because I'm curious to understand how people have built such mistaken doctrines."
Discontent with Mr Correa's rule and a pledge by the free marketeer Mr Lasso to create 1m jobs convinced more than a quarter of Ecuador's electorate to back him. …

everything - arbonne*
I was recently sent the cutest package from Arbonne, which is a company that promotes cruelty free formulas based on botanical principles and a green legacy. I was so excited to try all the products in the package, as I've recently been on a health kick and also been wanting to treat my skin and hair the same, without any suspicious chemicals and going all natural.
The first product i tried was the shampoo, which i noticed didn't lather as much as i'd hoped, however did the job very well and left my hair feeling squeaky clean. The smell was something i hadn't expected, however it didn't put me off. Next the conditioner made me hair smell and feel super soft and shiny which i definitely needed after a very unattractive time at the gym. The cleanser and toner really made a difference to my skin, as it made my skin feel amazingly clean and refreshed, removing all of my makeup and no panda eyes in sight. My favourite product of all that i used was the FC5 oil absorbing daily moisturiser which literally made my skin feel amazing! It felt so soft that i actually couldn't stop touching my face, which is a bit sad, however shows how much i loved this moisturiser, which also completely prevented my skin from becoming oily. I then used the hair serum whilst my hair was damp, which didn't make a huge difference, however my hair did feel slightly softer and smelt incredible! I think i didn't notice too much of a difference as i had only recently dyed my hair, so it still has the colour shine from the dye on it. Meaning if the serum had made my hair colour more vibrant, i wouldn't have noticed due to the recent dye treatment. The foundation was then applied and had a lovely consistency and great coverage, matching my yellow undertoned skin colour perfectly. I'm also a huge fan of foundation containing SPF.
A tea was also provided, which was refreshing and tasted a lot like pure green tea, although slightly heavier. I also liked the fact this was caffeine free as i am trying so hard to cut down on coffees and caffeine lately. I was then a little wary of trying the energy fizz stick, as i've never really tried anything of the sort before. I had it as recommended, and dissolved it in a glass of water as a replacement for my morning coffee and it really made me feel refreshed and ready for the day, definitely a positive change to the embarrassing amount of coffee i consume day to day. All in all i'm impressed with the vegan skincare/makeup/essentials. The products are a little on the pricey side however overall i felt i was doing my skin, hair and body a bit of natural goodness which was an improvement on a few products i had been using!

'Family filter' stops arsenic in its tracks
Arsenic-laced groundwater is a silent but deadly problem affecting the world's poorest nations – and a few richer ones as well. European researchers and their international partners have developed a new way to purify drinking water, dubbed the 'family filter' because of its ease of use and affordability for even the poorest families.
Installation of a trial family filter in Bangladesh.
Arsenic is a slow, undetectable killer found in large tracts of the world's groundwater, but especially in parts of Asia. In Bangladesh alone, up to 44% of the population is exposed to arsenic-laced drinking water, the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates. The problem crosses into neighbouring countries, India (West Bengal) and Nepal, affecting tens of millions who have to drink untreated groundwater.
It can take years of exposure to arsenic before clear symptoms may appear, such as pigmentation changes, 'hyperkeratosis' (patches of thickening skin), neurological side effects and signs of possible cancers in major organs (skin, liver, lungs, kidneys and bladder). By this time, the chronic disease arsenicosis has set in. Prevention is the only way to stop it, the experts lament.
Thankfully, European researchers and their international partners at UNESCO's Institute for Water Education (IHE) in Holland have perfected a simple, efficient and – importantly – low-cost water filtration device which removes arsenic from contaminated drinking water. The filter uses iron oxide-coated sand which absorbs the arsenic from water at the "point of use" (i.e. well, tap).
"From the very beginning, it was clear to us that a 'point of use' system was the only feasible approach in the short term for rural areas of developing countries with no piped water supply," writes UNESCO scientist Branislav Petrusevski in the latest issue of
A World of Science
. Because only 2-3% of water is used for cooking and drinking, the researchers decided to limit the filtration scheme and to keep it simple enough for rural families to install and use. Thus, after five-years under development, the 'family filter' was born.
Potential users of the new filter are not only in the world's poorest nations. Families on farms or not connected to town water in countries, such as Australia, New Zealand and Argentina, or (closer to home) in parts of Hungary and Serbia – which all have documented arsenic levels above WHO safety margins of 10 μg/l – could potentially benefit from the new technology.
Trial but no error
The filter's environmental credentials are also sound, according to the report. The iron oxide-coated sand is a by-product of large-scale water treatment – initially, it will have to be imported into the countries with no equivalent treatment plants in built-up areas – it needs no added
chemicals, and the filter uses gravity (hence no power needed).
What's more, UNESCO-IHE tests indicate the resulting arsenic-covered sand will percolate (leach naturally) back into the environment, which means it is safe to use as landfill or in construction.
Initial trials of the filter in Bangladesh not only prove its effectiveness in removing arsenic but also that the absorbent was still working well after 12 months in use. Extrapolating these results, the scientists reckon the treated sand could last up to two years without replacement. A second phase of trials will begin this year, where up to 1 000 families in Bangladesh will receive filters to test out.
In addition to its own research activities, UNESCO-IHE is active in education, training and capacity building in organisations, knowledge centres and other institutions active in the fields of water, the environment and infrastructure, with emphasis on developing countries and countries in transition. For this reason, it has consciously decided not to patent the family filter.
"It is our hope that the absence of a patent will enable the technology to spread unfettered throughout the developing world," concludes Petrusevski.

Andrew E. Kaufman's second thriller delivers the goods. The Lion, The Lamb, The Hunted.
Tabloid reporter Patrick Bannister begins to suspect that his abusive mother, now dead, and his uncle had more than a hand in a child kidnapping and murder when he was young. He's hated the pair of them for as long as he's known them (the novel alternates present scenes with those of his childhood, making it abundantly clear just why he does), but he can't believe this perfidy of them.
Hiding behind his reporting job, Patrick follows the clues down one bloody track to another, finally ending up in small-town west Texas where he enlists the help of a newspaper writer/editor who becomes his friend, and manages to put everyone else in town on the brink of violence with his questions.
As Patrick and his partner in investigative reporting get closer and closer to The Truth, and an incomparable villain emerges to scare the hell out of them, they belatedly realize that the hunters have become the hunted. This is one novel that doesn't leave you wondering what happened and why at the end; Mr. Kaufman lays it all on the line for you.

The Use Of History Essay, Research Paper
The Use of History
History reaped itself in many cases. By knowing what happened before might give one the ability to predict the future if one encounter the same kind of situation. There is underlining significance behind each circumstance. Whenever people are confused about the current situation whether it is a question of policy, the way we think, or even the way we respond, we look back the past. Amazingly, the answers are usually within.
President Clinton is currently struggling for the better solution for world order. He has been trying to improve the situation in the Middle East, but he failed on every single attempt. He has been asked many experts about this issue, however none of the answers he got really worked. He feels frustrated, and he does not know what to do.
All of the sudden, he recorded that he learned the same kind of situations happen a lot in Asia in his Asian history class. And some Asian philosophers came up with pretty good solutions for that. Since the situation in the Middle East is really urgent, he wants to meet those wise people directly instead of reading their posthumous works. So he decide to be the first one to experience the time machine which will bring to anytime, and anyplace of your desire. He successfully got to China, and started his exploration of Chinese philosophy. First he went to Qu-fu, Shan-dong Province to see Confucius. Then Confucius took him to see Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu want them to wait for couple days since Buddha was on the way to visit Lao Tzu as well. After Buddha arrived, they started to have a series of discussion about the life.
Confucius started the discussion by complaining there is no order nymore.
Confucius: The world needs a better order!
Lao Tzu: The world is fine now if human stop interfering it (Hinz, Autumn, 99).
Buddha: Why do we need a better world order? The whole thing is illusion
Anyway (Hinz, Autumn, 99).
Confucius: What do you mean that the whole thing is an illusion. If you do not do anything to make it a better world, nothing is going to change.
Lao Tzu: You guys think too much! Just leave the world and people along. They will do fine if you let them to act and respond according to their natural decisions (Hinz, Autumn, 99).
Buddha: (to Lao Tzu) you are worrying about the wrong thing! The whole life is suffering no matter how you live it! We should try our best to try to entreat for a better afterlife.
Lao Tzu: OK! Then tell me what should I worry instead!
Buddha: You should try your best to eliminate your unnecessary desires, which is
the arch-criminal of this suffering world (Hinz, Autumn, 99)!
Confucius: What do you mean by that? Are you saying the whole suffering
world will not change no matter do you do.
Buddha: Basically that is correct!
Confucius: That is so wrong! The future is unpredictable! The past is
history, and the present is a gift! We should attach importance of present more than any other time. Only now is the reality. (Unknown)
Lao Tzu: Just relax, guys! It is not that big of deal! Do not think too much!Human nature is righteous as long as they have the availability to choose what do they want to do?
Confucius: Even though human nature is virtuous, we still need education to become a better person. Those who are born with knowledge are the highest. Next come to these who attain knowledge through study. Next again come those turn to study after having been vexed by difficulty. The common people who do not study are the lowest one. (Lau 140) I was not born with knowledge, but being fond of antiquity, I am quick to seek it. (Lau 88)
Buddha: I agree with you on the point that we all need to learn, but what do we need to learn? Learning how to eliminate desires is very important since it is the cause of the whole suffering (Hinz, Autumn, 99).
Lao Tzu: Desires? If you do not teach them to want something, they will not have requested it at all. The cause of suffering is human intervention instead of desires.
Confucius: Is it really right? We need to improve our lives. If we do not do anything, nothing is gonna change. And for change to happen, the
origination is the desire of wanting a better life.
Buddha: The existence is suffering! There is nothing you could do to help it! The best you could do is to follow the middle path, and hope your life after death will be better.
Lao Tzu: The existence is not suffering unless your presence is under human intervention such as rules, laws, and policies. To be is what we should do instead of to do. To do is the cause of suffering (Hinz, Autumn, 99).
Buddha: What do you mean by to do is the cause of suffering?
Lao Tzu: The nature of human being is good. And everything were all right until some human started to set the rules, and began to change the original order that was maintained by the goodness of human nature.
Confucius: So there is no need to have education!
Lao Tzu: That is right! The education is mainly teaching us the extra things that we do not need for living.
Confucius: Do not we need to learn the courtesy and righteousness? We need to learn those kind of things. Most of people are not born with it.
Lao Tzu: If it is describe, it is not the way I am talking about here. (Dao De Jing 1 )
Buddha: What is the goal of life then?
Lao Tzu: There is not goal of life. If I must say one, I would say, to be .
Confucius: What should we do during our life?
Lao Tzu: What is your opinion on that?
Confucius: The whole nature was following an order of operation. We should try our best to maintain this order. In that way, everything will be smooth (Hinz, Autumn, 99).
Buddha: There is no order of operation. The whole life is suffering. One minute you exist in this world; you will suffer for that minute. What we should really trying is to follow the eight folded middle path, and we will not suffer anymore in our eternal life (Hinz, Autumn, 99).
Lao Tzu: In some way, I agree with Confucius.
Confucius: What do you think we should do during our life then?
Lao Tzu: 1. We need to give up our selfish motives. Keep the mind in the original appearance which shows the natural truth. 2. I have three
treasure. First, the kindness. Second, the frugality. The third, to not to seek fame and gain (Dao De Jing). 3. The philosophy of weakness is also important. The weak seems so useless, but they are really powerful instead. It seems that they are on the down side, or feeble. But that is just what is looks like. Actually, it contains a whole lot of strength, and continuity. (Dao De Jing) For example the water seems so fragile, but indeed it s so powerful. It could break the stone. Not too much force could beat water. Another example that the females always win over males by using the quietness. That is my superficial opinion. And hopefully it will assist you later in the future.
At the end, Clinton was satisfied with what he got form those wise people. He does not agree on all of their aspect, but it gives him a whole new way of looking at things. He feels the trip was worth a while. He hopes he will come up with some good solution for the Middle East Issue soon before his presidency.
