SUNRISE, Fla. - Tomas Kopecky recorded his first career hat trick and Tomas Fleischmann had the go-ahead score for his 100th career goal, lifting the Florida Panthers to a 6-4 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night.
Brian Campbell and Marcel Goc also scored, and Fleischmann added two assists for the Panthers. Scott Clemmensen stopped all 15 shots he faced in the third after replacing Jose Theodore during the second intermission. Theodore stopped 15 of 19 shots through the first and second periods.
Chris Kunitz, Dustin Jeffrey, Paul Martin and James Neal scored for the Penguins. Mark Andre-Fleury made 12 saves for Pittsburgh and Sidney Crosby had two assists.
Kopecky, who has six goals in his last six games, scored his third of the game on an empty-netter from his own blue line that made the score 6-4 with one minute left.
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) ? Brad Marchand scored the go-ahead goal in the second period and Boston beat New York for the 16th time in the last 20 meetings.
Adam McQuaid, David Krejci and Greg Campbell also scored for the Bruins (12-2-2), who won their fourth straight to bolster their best start since the 1976-77 season. All four victories have come on the road, where the Bruins are 8-1-1.
Casey Cizikas scored for the Islanders, who are a league-worst 2-8 at home.
Boston is 16-3-1 in its last 20 games against the Islanders, who remain in the basement of the Atlantic Division.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ??? Tyler Myers scored a go-ahead goal early in third period, helping Ron Rolston win for the first time as Buffalo's interim coach with a victory over Tampa Bay.
Myers made it 2-1 from the top of the left circle 52 seconds into the third after a Tampa Bay turnover. Rolston replaced long-time Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff on Feb. 20.
Ryan Miller made 30 saves and improved to 19-7-0 against the Lightning. The Sabres also got a goal from Cody Hodgson, while Thomas Vanek had two assists.
Steven Stamkos extended his goals streak to six games with his 14th for Tampa Bay. Miller stopped Stamkos on a point-blank chance in the third.

John Carlson scored in the third and Braden Holtby, who signed a two-year contract extension Monday, made 33 saves to earn his fifth career shutout for the Capitals.
After a miserable start to the season, Washington has back-to-back wins by more than one goal for the first time this season. The victory moved the Capitals within four points of the Hurricanes, who led the NHL's weakling division at the start of the day's play.
Cam Ward kept it from turning into an ugly rout by making 37 saves for the Hurricanes.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) ??? Loui Eriksson fought off two defenders to get his stick on a rebound and jammed it in 3:03 into overtime to give Dallas a victory over Columbus.
Cody Eakin had given the Stars a 4-3 lead with 6:24 left in regulation, but R.J. Umberger scored from the right hash with just 1:34 remaining to force overtime.
Eakin, Antoine Roussel and Derek Roy each had a goal and an assist. Brenden Morrow scored, and Stephane Robidas and Brenden Dillon each had two assists for the Stars, who had lost three of four.
Cam Atkinson, Nikita Nikitin and Derek Dorsett scored the other goals for Columbus, which lost its third in a row and sixth in seven games.
NEW YORK (AP) ????????? Olli Jokinen scored twice and Evander Kane had a goal and assist in the second period for surging Winnipeg, which closed a 4-1 road trip with a win over New York.
After a scoreless first period, Jokinen broke the deadlock 5:55 into the second off an assist from Kane, who then gave Winnipeg a 2-0 lead 1:07 later with his eighth goal of the season.
Kane added his second of the game and ninth of the season in the third period ????????? in between a pair of Rangers tallies ????????? as three goals were scored in a span of 1:13 that brought New York within 4-3.
Ondrej Pavelec, playing in his eighth straight game, made 30 saves for the win.
Ryan Callahan, Taylor Pyatt and Anton Stralman scored for the Rangers.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) ????????? Zach Parise scored 27 seconds into OT to lift Minnesota over Calgary.
With the Wild sputtering on offence once again, Jason Zucker scored for Minnesota with 4:19 left in regulation to send it to overtime.
Calgary's Mark Giordano was then given a delay-of-game penalty with 43 seconds to go. The penalty carried over into the extra period, and Parise beat goalie Joey MacDonald for the 4-on-3 winner. Parise's goal was only Minnesota's fourth in its last 41 power-play opportunities.
Alex Tanguay scored for the Flames and MacDonald stopped 28 shots.
Niklas Backstrom made 20 saves for the Wild.

Date: Sep 30, 2010
Press Release Number: 66
Contract Award is 23 Percent Below Port Authority Estimates
The World Trade Center Vehicle Security Center (VSC) – the central artery for the site's truck delivery and parking system – will be built to street level under a contract awarded today by the Port Authority Board of Commissioners.
The Board awarded a $45.9 million contract to W&W Steel Company of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to furnish and install the structural steel required to build the Vehicle Security Center. The cost was 23 percent below the Port Authority's estimates for the job, and follows the award of contracts during the past year for the VSC's south bathtub walls and excavation to bedrock, steel detailing and foundations.
The firm will furnish and install structural steel columns, beams, girders and other steel components to bring the facility from bedrock to the canopy roof level over the facility. Installation of the steel will begin in 2011 and be completed by the end of 2012. Liberty Park will be built above the southern portion of the VSC, essentially on top of the VSC's roof.
Port Authority Chairman Anthony R. Coscia said, "This state-of-the-art facility is a critical step in our rebuilding of the World Trade Center site and will ensure the safety of thousands of tenants and visitors who will be at the site every day."
Port Authority Executive Director Chris Ward said, "This facility is the central underground artery that feeds the entire site, linking the office space we are building to the delivery and parking services that those buildings will rely on. It also will relieve some pressure on Lower Manhattan's streets by providing parking spaces for the dozens of tour buses that will frequent the site each day."
Port Authority Deputy Executive Director Bill Baroni said, "The Port Authority is committed to restoring the World Trade Center site with the highest standards of safety and security in mind, while also making judicious use of our financial resources. This contract not only achieves those objectives, but it will also ensure that we can get the towers and public spaces open and functioning as quickly as possible."
In August, the Board authorized the construction of the $667 million Vehicle Security Center, which will be built between Liberty and Cedar streets on the southern section of the World Trade Center site. The VSC will connect to an underground road, loading dock and parking network that will serve all of the office towers within the World Trade Center site. It is scheduled to be completed in 2013.
Currently, work is under way to excavate the western portion of the VSC site. Work on the eastern half of the VSC will begin as soon as the deconstruction of 130 Liberty Street is completed by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation at the end of this year.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey operates many of the busiest and most important transportation links in the region. They include John F. Kennedy International, Newark Liberty International, LaGuardia, Stewart International and Teterboro airports; AirTrain JFK and AirTrain Newark; the George Washington Bridge and Bus Station; the Lincoln and Holland tunnels; the three bridges between Staten Island and New Jersey; the PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson) rapid-transit system; Port Newark; the Elizabeth-Port Authority Marine Terminal; the Howland Hook Marine Terminal on Staten Island; the Port Authority Auto Marine Terminal; the Brooklyn Piers/Red Hook Container Terminal; and the Port Authority Bus Terminal in midtown Manhattan. The agency also owns the 16-acre World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan and is a partner in the Access to the Region's Core tunnel project.

hey everyone, I'm an agnostic atheist. Is anyone of you a gnostic atheist? if there is, would you share your view please? cause i would really love to have some kind of definite answer, but i'm just not there yet for considering myself as a gnostic atheist. so..opened up for discussion! :)
Views: 1268
Let me put it this way:
In all the above cases, I think that I could assert without fear of contradiction that leprechauns, mermaids and left-handed zindlefingers do not exist. Yet for some unfathomable reason, gods too often get an exemption. Some wish to put forward the idea that, despite the lack of evidence, gods MIGHT exist, that we cannot be 100% sure of their lack of existence. The only reason I can think of why they might is TIME, because the idea of a god has been around for so long and accepted by so many people. Yet the concept of any form of deity is no more valid than that of a leprechaun or a mermaid or my own invented zindlefinger.
There are countless things which can be conceived by the mind of man, yet have no objective physical existence. For myself, I cannot accept that we have to grant the possibility of something to exist simply because someone thought it up. Without substantiation, without demonstration, without evidence, insofar as I am concerned, gods are NOT, full stop.
All the agnostics that I have quoted in my earlier replies firmly disbelieve in miracles but they have a doubt that a supernatural power may yet be existing. If there is a chance that a supernatural power exists then what would stop it from performing miracles? Since nature keeps on performing according to a set of its own laws, anything that this supernatural power does would be a miracle and so not believeing in miracles is the same as not believing in a supernatural power. This is atheism, not agnosticism.
The term "supernatural" implies a superceding to nature, of which there is lacking evidence. Were there to be a powerful entity with godlike ability, I would still have doubts as to the supernatural aspects of said ability as well as the origin of such a being.
"Why does God need a starship?" comes to mind, as well as the "Q" continuum, both from the Star Trek franchise. More likely any entity that would display such 'supernatural' behavior would flag warning bells in my mind as a techologically advanced species wanting to play with or control a lesser developed species--not instill worship.
With a thank you to joey kurt flockheart and to the others who contributed to joey's discussion.
A few days ago someone posted that there is no such thing as agnostic atheism. I'm less certain of that conclusion and wanted to ask how many kinds of atheism others recognize and accept.
I chose agnosticism 55 years ago because the first atheists I heard from (after 12 years in Catholic schools and a hitch in the US Navy) said they knew no god(s) existed. I was at the time on my way to a degree in mathematics with its perhaps too specialized definition for the verb "to know", and decided that those atheists (other students at the University of Florida) knew no more than the Catholics I had lived among. Ten years ago I came to atheism because in 45 years no one came even close to offering evidence for the existence of one or more gods.
And so, prepared to start a discussion asking How Many Kinds Of Atheism Do We Have?, I searched A/N discussions and found this one with a Venn diagram I liked. Because the Oxford New American Dictionary defines "gnosticism" as a "lesser divinity" kind of theism, I was inclined to use the terms agnostic atheism, faith-based atheism, and knowledge-based atheism.
What say other folks here, how many kinds of atheism do we recognize? (Yeah, with "faith-based atheism" I'm remarking on the legitimacy of "There is no such thing as agnostic atheism".)
Richard Dawkins has considered agnostics and atheists while describing his seven steps leading finally to strong atheism. They are generally true and correct. Dawkins is very practical and the Venn diagram is purely theoretical. An agnostic is a person who feels that more evidence is needed to firmly deny the existence of a god. Every agnostic agrees with this. There may be many personal variations to this and so I feel that it is not necessary to classify agnostics. Every agnostic is an agnostic. There may be personal variations in the thoughts of atheists but they all are convinced that there is no god. No classification is needed.
Dictionaries differ. My New Oxford American says an agnostic:
1. "believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena."
2. "a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God."
Please tell us where you found your "An agnostic is a person who feels that more evidence is needed to firmly deny the existence of a god. Every agnostic agrees with this."
I prefer a bit of mental flexibility to a battle over dictionaries.
I have quoted Thomas Huxley and this is his position. Even Dawkins also feels the same
Thanks, Madhukar. I agree with you that we need not classify agnostics.
After twelve years in Catholic schools I ALWAYS QUESTION AUTHORITY.
Because I have no evidence of the lexical expertise of either Huxley or Dawkins, I will rely on the New Oxford American Dictionary definition.
Where you live, do people rely on the Oxford English Dictionary?

Opisthotonos is a condition in which the body is held in an abnormal position. The person is usually rigid and arches the back, with the head thrown backward. If a person with opisthotonos lies on his or her back, only the back of the head and the heels touch the supporting surface.

Opisthotonos is much more common in infants and children than in adults. It is also more exaggerated in infants and children because of their less mature nervous systems.
Opisthotonos may occur in infants with meningitis. It may also occur as a sign of reduced brain function or injury to the nervous system.
Other causes may include:
Drugs such as phenothiazines and other antipsychotic medications, can cause a side effect called acute dystonic reaction. Opisthotonos may be part of this reaction.
In rare cases, infants born to women who drink large amounts of alcohol during pregnancy may have opisthotonus due to alcohol withdrawal.
A person who develops opisthotonos will need to be cared for in a hospital.
Go to the emergency room or call your local emergency number (such as 911) if this symptom occurs. Typically opisthotonos is a symptom of other conditions that are serious enough for a person to seek medical attention.
This condition will be evaluated in a hospital, and emergency measures may be taken.
The health care provider will take a medical history and perform a physical examination to look for the cause of opisthotonos
Medical history questions may include:
The physical examination will include a complete check of the nervous system.
Tests may include:

Minnesota Manhunt Ends in Arrest of Stabbing Suspect
FARIBAULT (AP) — Following a manhunt, authorities have arrested a suspect in the stabbing of a woman in the southern Minnesota city of Faribault.
Authorities say the 27-year-old stabbed his 26-year-old girlfriend several times before fleeing Saturday afternoon. The woman was unresponsive when police found her in a vehicle stalled near the police station. Officers also found two children inside. Neither child was hurt.
The victim later told police she was stabbed during a domestic argument.
Authorities believe the suspect stole a car during his escape and later set it on fire on a gravel road off Highway 14 on the Steele-Waseca county line.
A dispatcher for Rice and Steele counties says the suspect was arrested in the same general area about 1 p.m. Sunday and taken to a hospital as a precaution.

East Tennessee State University cheerleader Jacy Richardson is a 19-year-old sophomore. She is originally from Kingsport, and is majoring in digital media.
"I have been cheering for as long as I can remember," Richardson said. "I believe I started cheering on a team when I was in fourth grade."
Besides being in the sport of cheerleading for about 11 years, she feels that her highest achievement in the sport of cheerleading is being able to cheer at the college level, especially at ETSU.
"I was drawn to the team here at ETSU for it is an all girls' team," she said, "and I feel that my biggest accomplishment is continuing my cheering career into college."
Richardson said that she can't wait for the new football team and for next year's season to start so the cheerleading squad can rally the crowd during football games as well.
"I am excited for all the preparation and heightened ETSU pride for this new addition," she said.

BELGRADE (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic began the fightback and Janko Tipsarevic completed the job as Serbia overturned a 2-1 deficit against Canada in the Davis Cup semi-final on Sunday.
In scenes reminiscent of their 2010 triumph in the same arena, world number one Djokovic beat big-serving Milos Raonic 7-6(1) 6-2 6-2 before Tipsarevic kept his nerve to beat Vasek Pospisil 7-6(3) 6-2 7-6(6) in the deciding singles.
Serbia's 3-2 win means they can now look forward to a home final against the Czech Republic but it was heartbreak for Canada who were looking to reach the final for the first time.
Djokovic was ruthless as he brushed aside 11th-ranked Raonic in front of a partisan 15,000 home crowd but Tipsarevic had some anxious moments against Pospisil who needed medical treatment for a sore elbow in the opening set.
Thriving in the same kind of fervent home support which helped Serbia win the title for the first time against France three years ago, Djokovic was a class apart on the indoor clay.
"Winning the 2010 trophy was an inspiration to all of us to excel the following season on the ATP Tour and that's why it has a very special place in my heart," an emotional Djokovic told a news conference ahead of Tipsarevic's calsh with Pospisil.
"I've won a number of grand slams but nothing compares to sharing the joy of victory with your team mates, who are there for you and cheer on every shot you take on the court."
"I think I played two outstanding matches given that I had to make a rapid change of time zones and surfaces (after the U.S. Open final defeat to Rafael Nadal in New York on Monday).
"The home crowd support carried me to victory."
Djokovic and Raonic traded breaks in the opening set before Djokovic, who dominated the rallies while Raonic used the slick red clay to good effect on his first serve, raced through the tiebreak and delighted the home fans in the Kombank Arena.
The electrifying atmosphere reached fever pitch when Djokovic saved a triple break point to take a 3-1 lead in the second set, pumping his fists in delight as he took the match by the scruff of the neck.
Having tamed Raonic's serve, the 26-year-old Serb broke again to lead 5-2 and then wrapped up the second set with a searing crosscourt forehand.
Although Raonic was backed by several hundred colourful Canadian fans, he succumbed meekly in the third set as a galvanised Djokovic broke serve straight away and raced through the final act to seal the match in two hours and eight minutes.
That set the scene for Tipsarevic to take center stage.
There were some jitters in the first set against Pospisil, who looked in danger of retiring after ending the fourth game grimmacing in pain.
But Tipsarevic calmed the home crowd's nerves with an emphatic tiebreak, bringing the fans to their feet.
The 29-year old Tipsarevic, ranked 23rd on the ATP Tour, raced through the second set as the effects of a gruelling five-set win in Saturday's doubles took its toll on Pospisil.
Tipsarevic took a commanding 5-2 lead in the third set but Pospisil produced one final salvo to force his way back from the brink and set up a tumultuous tiebreak.
Pospisil saved four match points from 2-6, one with a net cord, but Tipsarevic wrapped up the match in the most dramatic fashion, sending a winner past Pospisil who had tumbled over.
"This is one of the sweetest wins of my career and I hereby thank my team mates for their fantastic support," a delighted Tipsarevic said in a courtside interview after being mobbed by the rest of Serbia's squad.
"See you right here in November in the final, in another epic encounter against the Czechs," he added.
Serbia beat the Czech Republic 3-2 in the 2010 semi-final in Belgrade before losing the 2012 quarter-finals 4-1 away.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) – A Hanover, Ill. Man pled guilty in federal court in Rockford to wire fraud.
56-year-old Anthony F. DeFilippo of Hanover admitted that from 2009 to 2011 h devised and engaged in a scheme to defraud and obtain money, funds, and property from Wal-Mart.com Inc., credit card issuers, and credit card holders by means of materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises.
According to the written plea agreement, DeFilippo admitted that he used his eBay account to sell various types of merchandise, such as vacuum cleaners and sewing machines, that another participant in the scheme then fraudulently purchased from Wal-Mart.com Inc. through the unauthorized use of names and credit card numbers of other credit cardholders. The merchandise was then shipped to the address of the person that had purchased the item through DeFilippo's eBay account, but addressed to the credit cardholder. DeFilippo further admitted that he arranged for the money eBay received from the eBay buyers to be paid to him through PayPal debit cards. DeFilippo periodically withdrew money from the debit cards, keeping apportion for himself and sending the rest to other persons, including persons in foreign countries such as the Ukraine.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and mandatory restitution. The court may also impose a fine totaling twice the loss to any victim or twice to the gain to the defendant, whichever is greater.

Did you know that light comes in little packages?
They are called photons. Photons act like particles.
In this game, five different kinds of photons will be shining on your Photon Pile-up "telescope:"
- Microwave photons
- Infrared photons
- Visible light photons
- Ultraviolet photons
- X-ray photons
Your game telescope is like the Galaxy Evolution Explorer, or GALEX for short. It is especially good at seeing ultraviolet photons.
In Photon Pile-up you get extra points for piling up three touching ultraviolet photons. These are colored purple in the game. You get fewer points for piling three touching photons of other single colors. But don't let the photons pile up too high! Keep the GALEX "telescope" spinning.
You probably know from other pages on The Space Place, that light also acts like waves. You might want to pay another visit to the Land of the Magic Windows or go again to play in the light waves on "What is a laser?"

The paper about Bigtable, is a new kind of distributed database and one of the most interesting Google innovations so far, next to Google File System and MapReduce.
"Bigtable is a distributed storage system for managing structured data that is designed to scale to a very large size: petabytes of data across thousands of commodity servers. Many projects at Google store data in Bigtable, including web indexing, Google Earth, and Google Finance. These applications place very different demands on Bigtable, both in terms of data size (from URLs to web pages to satellite imagery) and latency requirements (from backend bulk processing to real-time data serving). Despite these varied demands, Bigtable has successfully provided a flexible, high-performance solution for all of these Google products. In this paper we describe the simple data model provided by Bigtable, which gives clients dynamic control over data layout and format, and we describe the design and implementation of Bigtable."
BigTable is used by many Google services, including Google Analytics, Google Finance, Orkut, Personalized Search, Writely, and Google Earth.

PRINCETON — When Coyla Knapp Harris thinks about her days at the Elm Grove School, she thinks about love.
The school was situated at what was once the countryside north of Princeton, near where Beck's North is now located.
Back in the 1920s, when Harris was a little girl, the students liked to play outside near a small creek that ran through the property.
"When I was in the first grade, why, you know, you play follow the leader," she said. "The bigger ones went ahead, but the littlest ones were on the tail end. So they all had to hang onto their hands and jump over that little, bitty creek."
The students jumped, one at a time, until it was Harris' turn.
"I was the shortest one, and I fell right in the creek," she said. "I was soaking wet, and we lived up, just about a jump and a hop, I'd say, where the antique village is now."
It wasn't too far away, so one of the older boys offered to take her home so she could change her clothes, and then took her back to school.
That boy was Wilfred Harris.
"When I got home that night, Mom said, 'Well, did you have a good time?' and I said, 'Yeah, I had a pretty good time falling in the creek,'" Harris said. "Mom said, 'Were you scared?' I said, 'No, I wasn't scared, but someday I'm going to marry that guy, and she said, 'All right.'"
Harris said she never went out with anybody else.
"I just had it in my heart he was mine," she said. "He saved my life.'
Years later, when Harris graduated from Princeton High School, she saw a man sitting in the audience with a package on his lap.
"I said to my friend Virginia, I said, 'Virginia, there's Wilfred, and he's got a present for me,' and she said, 'How do you know that?' and I said, 'Wait until we get up there,'" Harris said.
Harris couldn't wait until the graduation ceremony was over.
"We got out into the hall, and he was out there, and he grabbed me and he said, 'Come here.' And I said, 'Well, hi,'" she said. "He said, 'Here's a present for you. How about going out with me on Friday night?'"
Two years later the two were married.
"He wasn't going to get any further away from me," Harris said with a laugh.
Harris has many vivid memories of her days in the one-room schoolhouse. Both her parents helped out a lot with her father going in early to build the fire for the teacher, and making a sign for the school and toys for the students to play with. Her mother liked to bake, and often would appear in the schoolyard pulling a red wagon with delicious treats.
One of Harris' favorite teachers was Jessie Dean.
"She did have an old car, and she used to drive out there and once in awhile she'd pick me up and take me home with her just to spend a few days with her," she said.
Harris said she used to visit Dean regularly until she died.
"I thought the world and all of her," she said.
There wasn't running water at the school, and the older boys would take turns pumping a pail of water and bringing it to the classroom.
"Everybody drank out of the dipper, and nobody was sick," Harris said. "Then it came later years when they had to bring their own little cup, and it was a folding little metal cup."
One of Harris' memories is about a teacher many of the students didn't like.
"They'd do anything to torment that poor girl," she said.
One day one of the older boys put a garter snake in the teacher's desk.
"All of us girls, we'd seen him do it, and we just were hysterical," she said. "But we were kind of afraid of him, and we weren't going to tell anything of what he might do."
So the day began as usual with the teacher sitting at her desk, and after the morning prayer, she opened the desk drawer.
"I think I'll never, ever forget the noise I heard from that woman," Harris said. "She flew out of there, her chair went a-going, and I'm telling you, she threw it, and she ran out the door and down the steps and in her car and went home."
Harris said everyone was too scared of the boy to say he did it, but Harris never forgot.
"I kept that over his head for a long time until he just died recently," she said with a laugh.
Harris said she felt well prepared for going to Princeton High School after she graduated, and other than some trouble with algebra and shorthand, she did just fine.
But the city students weren't always welcoming to their country counterparts. One day history teacher Jean Palmer had seen enough.
"She stood up one day, and she just gave them all thunder," Harris said. "She said, 'You don't poke fun at people like that. They're country people; they live the same as we do; and they probably know more than we do.' She told them all about it."
Harris said it made the country kids feel good to have their teacher defend them, and the city students must have listened as well.
"After that, they treated us fine," she said.
While there were both good and bad days, Harris said she enjoyed her days at Elm Grove School.
"It was fun days, and you don't see those things anymore," she said.

Burbank Unified officials have outlined plans to increase the minimum age for incoming kindergarten students while simultaneously launching a new program to serve those who don't make the modified cut-off date.
The move will bring the district into compliance with new state legislation designed to eliminate younger children from the classroom who experts say can sometimes be unprepared.
The Kindergarten Readiness Act, signed into law in 2010 by then Gov.-Arnold Schwarzenegger, requires that all students entering kindergarten in 2014 must turn 5 by Sept. 1 – three months earlier than the current Dec. 1 cutoff date.
It also mandates a special pre-kindergarten program — dubbed transitional kindergarten — for those born between September and December, meaning that some students will actually be eligible for two years instruction before starting first grade.
Transitional kindergarten is free and voluntary.
"We are one of only four states currently that have Dec. 1 as the cutoff," Sharon Cuseo, director of assessment and accountability, said at the Nov. 3 school board meeting. "Everybody else really does start closer to the beginning of the school year so their kids are older."
Burbank Unified will phase in the changes incrementally, officials said. Starting in 2012, the birthday cut-off date will be shifted to Nov. 1, and students born between Nov. 1 and Dec. 1 will be eligible to enroll in transitional kindergarten.
In 2013, the cut-off date moves to Oct. 1, with students born between Oct. 1 and Dec. 1 eligible for the new program. And by 2014, all incoming kindergarten students will have to be 5 years old by Sept. 1, with students born between Sept. 1 and Dec. 1 eligible for transitional kindergarten.
The program will be hosted at select Burbank Unified sites, Director of Elementary Education Tom Kissinger said, adding that Horace Mann Elementary School and the Burbank Adult School are among several currently under consideration.
District officials are currently working on developing curriculum, and all transitional kindergarten classes will be taught by fully credentialed teachers, Kissinger said.
"In a lot of ways, it is going to look very similar to traditional kindergarten," Kissinger said. "The activities calendar and class configuration are going to be similar."

WHEN: 11th Feb 2014
ROUTE: Shimla - Chandigarh
According to Indian Expres, Another accident involving a Volvo bus took place in North India on the Shimla-Chandigarh route. The bus, a Volvo B7R, being run by Haryana Roadways reportedly fell into a 200-foot-deep gorge at Datiyar near Parwanoo. The accident happend on Tuesday and has left two dead and six injured.
The accident occurred around 12.30 pm after the bus driver allegedly lost control of the vehicle. One of the deceased was identified as Satinder Bhan, a resident of Thane (Maharashtra), while the other deceased was yet to be identified. Bus driver Jitender and bus conductor Pankaj along with passengers Birbal Tahim, Kavita, Ranveer Singh and Tejinder Kaur suffered injuries. According to the Parwanoo police, the accident happened around 12.30 pm when the Chandigarh-bound bus was coming from Shimla. Being driven at a high speed, the bus was supposed to take a right turn. But the driver lost control of the vehicle and it fell into the gorge, the police said. Soon, the locals went down the gorge and helped in rescuing the passengers. A call was made to the police and on 108 for ambulance as well. "We received a call at 12.43 pm about the accident. We reached the spot in about six minutes.
All the passengers were taken to the hospital by 2.15 pm," said a staff member of the ambulance. Varun Bhandari, an eyewitness to the accident, said, "The accident occurred right in front of my eyes while I was driving uphill towards Shimla. The bus was coming at a very high speed. After the driver lost control of the vehicle, the bus skidded for about 20 metres, rammed into the protection barrier on the road and fell into the gorge." He added, "I was in a shudder when the accident happened. Before I saw the bus fall into the gorge, I was driving my car at 90 km/hr." Of the many locals who helped in rescuing the passengers were Govind and his nephew Raju, both taxi drivers. "We were on our way ferrying customers towards Solan. We got to know about the accident as we saw a large number of people on one side of the road. It took us about 20 minutes to go down the gorge through thick bushes and plants. However, we managed to rescue two passengers and brought them up on our backs," said Govind. All the eight passengers were taken to ESI Hospital, Parwanoo. Satinder, 50, and the unidentified woman, around 40, were declared dead on arrival. Ranveer, 24, and Kavita, 25, who are siblings, suffered minor injuries while Tejinder, 26, Birbal, 24, Jitender, 32, and Pankaj, 32, were critically injured and were referred to PGI.

Future students, parents and stakeholders visited the construction site of John Paul II Catholic School on Saturday for a slab signing event. Attendees walked the construction site with maps, checked out the progress and visited the site of the athletic center all the while armed with Sharpie markers so they could leave their mark on the new school.
John Paul II is scheduled to open in the fall for seventh-through ninth-grade and will expand each year until they eventually house through 12th-grade. If the school is not ready by August, classes will be held at Okatee Baptist Church, which is one mile from the site, until construction is done.

From next summer, US Airways will operate a daily service from Philadelphia to Shannon, in the south west of Ireland.
These summer flights, during the Gathering Ireland 2013 tourism push, will run between 23rd May and 3rd September, using Boeing 757 aircrafts.
Although the flights have been loaded into US Airways system, their prices have not been specified. Flights are set to leave Philadelphia at 9.15pm and arrive in Shannon at 8.40am. They will then leave Shannon at 11.35am for the return journey
Earlier this month United Airlines announced that they would also introduce a Chicago to Shannon route, running from June to September.
The Irish Times reports that these new route announcements are being made as plans to separate Shannon from the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) gain momentum. The Department of Transport is working on a paper to seek Cabinet approval by the end of November to separate the authorities by the end of 2012.
Shannon and Dublin has transition plans in place and are ready to separate by 31st December. Union advisers are reviewing the separation plan.

TEL AVIV, Israel, June 29 (UPI) -- Amid worsening security problems in the Middle East, U.S. and Israeli military planners are discussing the development of the Jewish state's missile defense systems to ensure the country maintains its technological edge over regional adversaries and the ability to meet emerging threats.
U.S. support for Israel's efforts to build a multilayered defense shield against everything from ballistic missiles to short-range unguided rockets was a key topic when officials of the joint Defense Policy Advisory group met in Tel Aviv this week.
Details of the discussions weren't disclosed but The Jerusalem Post reported that the Israelis were particularly interested in developing a multiyear plan with the Americans that "would ensure a regular budget for missile defense systems that Israel will need to purchase over the coming years."
The administration of U.S. President Barack Obama has allocated $275 million in recent months to help Israel purchase more batteries of the Iron Dome system developed by state-owned Rafael Advanced Defense Systems to reinforce the four already operational.
But Israeli planners estimate the military will need as many as 20 batteries to provide cover against short-range missiles possessed by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah in the north and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip on Israel's southern border.
Since the government of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has imposed hefty cutbacks on military spending for fiscal 2012-13, cuts that are likely to be extended in subsequent years, the Israeli air force, which has responsibility for missile defense, is increasingly dependent on U.S. aid to expand the Iron Dome network.
Rafael is fast-tracking development of a more advanced Iron Dome variant capable of intercepting longer-range missiles until a dedicated system known as David's Sling, which is being developed by the company and the U.S. Raytheon Co., can be deployed.
But arguably the most important Israeli project is the Arrow-3 system, designed to intercept ballistic missiles outside Earth's atmosphere, being developed by Israel Aerospace Industries and the Boeing Co.
This system particularly interests the Americans.
"The design of Arrow 3 promises to be an extremely capable system, more advance than what we have ever attempted in the United States with our programs," the director of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency, Lt. Gen. Patrick J. O'Reilly, observed recently.
"The U.S. intention is to integrate the support for Israeli programs into the U.S. defense budget," says the U.S. online Defense Update report.
Israel is the only country that fields missile systems capable of intercepting missiles and rockets of different calibers and ranges.
O'Reilly said the multitier Israeli defense shield could be used to protect U.S. forces in the Middle East.
The liberal Israeli daily Haaretz report, he even went so far as to intimate that Israeli missile batteries might also protect Arab countries allied to the United States but with which the Jewish state has no diplomatic relations.
In recent weeks, the U.S. Congress has approved an aid package of nearly $1 billion, spread over several years, to bolster Israeli missile defense programs, including Arrow 3.
That's on top of the $3 billion in U.S. military aid that Israel gets every year.
The Arrow-3 will be a major upgrade of IAI's Arrow-2 interceptor that's currently in service. The first Arrow batteries were deployed in 2000.
The Arrow-3 program and the Arrow System Improvement Program, which aims for an eventual Arrow-4 capability, will get around $112 million of the aid package funds, the Israeli business daily Globes has reported.
It will be integrated with the AN/TPY-2 X-Band radar the Americans deployed at an Israeli air base in the Negev Desert south of Tel Aviv in 2009. This can detect ballistic missile launches several minutes before the ground-based EL/M-2080 Green Pine radar, developed by IAI subsidiary Elta, that's part of the Arrow system.
David's Sling, intended to the middle-layer of the defense shield to counter missiles with a range of 24-150 miles, is expected to get nearly $150 million from the U.S. package.
This goes a long way to satisfying the Israeli military's aim of establishing a multiyear budget with the Pentagon that won't require annual administration approval.
The Israeli systems currently deployed will be put through their paces in October during the major missile defense exercise with the Americans known as Austere Challenge.

As legend has it, iO co-founder Charna Halpern was nearing the end of her annual search for potential "Saturday Night Live" cast members when she spotted Cecily Strong working the iO box office one night on her way out. Halpern encouraged the Oak Park native to audition, even though she was planning on skipping it because she didn't feel ready, and, well, you can figure out what happened from there.
But if you'd like to read about Strong's path to "Saturday Night Live" and her "Weekend Update" co-anchor role, she's featured on the upcoming cover of Michigan Avenue magazine. The interview was conducted by "Saturday Night Live" alum Rachel Dratch over the phone in January.
"It was crazy," Strong told Michigan Avenue. "Well, every call was like, 'I passed.' And every taxi ride to the airport I was crying to even be that close. But the day I met with Lorne--and you always leave a little confused--and then [producer] Lindsay [Shookus] called me up and was like, 'You're hired. Get out here Monday.'
"I left the building and just walked around New York; I mean it was so dramatic in my head: 'This is my city!' And you get to work in NYC and enjoy this club that I've always wanted to be a part of. I think it was just a lot of crying."
If you'd like to meet Strong, she will attend Planned Parenthood's fourth annual Generations Celebration April 23 at Navy Pier's Grand Ballroom. Strong revealed in the Michigan Avenue interview she once worked at Planned Parenthood in Chicago in the corporate office.

"The sound of chemistry" at high school chemistry Alahaliia Umm al-Fahm, IsraelActivity by Rachel Mamlok=naaman | added on Mar 23, 2011 | Israel
The main theme of the international chemistry in high school Alahaliia is "The sound of chemistry." For example, running a radio station during the breaks once a week. Radio broadcasts relevant chemical articles, or reports written by chemistry students. Parallel to the broadcasts, one may look at the screens scattered hallways at school, and watch power point presentations on the subject of the article.
IYC activities at high school chemistry Alahaliia Umm al-Fahm, Israel, was led by Issam Agbaria, a chemistry teacher.
Additional activities:
- During the breaks – students who major in chemistry, performed experimental demonstration, quizzes, and puzzles related to chemistry.
- There was a competition of "The best logo" for the international chemistry at school.
A unique event held on the 3rd of March, 2012 -
The event included activities for students during the morning, with the participation of the school board, school teachers, and guest teachers (please see the attached invitation).
The students presented their activities, lit candles in honor of the international chemistry, made a cake in the form of the periodic table, composed poetry and chemical contexts, and the guest speaker Prof. Hussam Haick from the Technion, lectured about electronic sensors for the cancer disease.
During this day, each class got a chemical name, and all corridors were decorated with posters related to chemistry. The general atmosphere was a holiday atmosphere. The students were enthusiastic and motivated. The school board was proud of the activities, and paid for all the expenses.
A few attached photos will serve as examples to the festive atmosphere.

2002. This is part of my going Cafepress Crazy story. It's interesting working on an "idealized" face, even if the hair is an unnatural shade of purple.
The first version of this I tacked on some words about anime, but I thought the "anime" indication was limiting. It works fine as-is, though I'm not totally thrilled with the background (the blue-red gradient supposed to evoke blue + red = purple) ... oh well, maybe I'll make a new version of this sometime.

As regular readers know, I've often quoted the great Mayor Ed Koch. He was inspirational — thoughtful, witty and brilliant.
Koch was a legend.
Sadly, he died last Friday, at age 88.
He was a man of honor and loyalty. He had a deep love for his family, his friends and his causes, especially New York City, the Democratic Party and Israel.
He was never afraid to call 'em as he saw 'em. He crossed party lines and supported those he thought would best serve their country. For example, in the 2011 election for the Brooklyn House seat left vacant by Anthony Weiner, Koch endorsed Republican Bob Turner because he believed President Obama had turned his back on Israel.
Koch was a man of his beliefs.
For those of you too young to remember, New York City in the 1970s was a place where the streets were filled with crime and racial tension. Between 1969 and 1977, the city lost 620,000 jobs during an economic downturn, and 1 million residents fled the area. Koch assumed control in 1978, and knew that the only way the city was going to be saved was through economic development and revitalization.
He cut spending, put extremely tough fiscal policies in place and encouraged redevelopment. Within five years, the city had turned a $1 billion deficit into a $500 million surplus. With more financial room to breathe, Koch was able to double the city's annual budget, and oversaw $19 billion worth of capital improvements. He brought life to the greatest city in the world.
There are so many "Kochisms" that will live on indefinitely. There's the great story of him standing on the Brooklyn Bridge in the face of a mass transit strike, yelling at the people of New York to walk over the bridge because "We're not going to let these bastards bring us to our knees!" And now the great mayor has his own bridge, named in his honor.
I had many good laughs with my old friend. He loved to share a particular story. After his loss to David Dinkins in the Democratic primary, he went out for a walk to do some shopping and restock his refrigerator in the first week after leaving office. When you're the mayor, you don't do much of your own shopping, and it was the first time in decades that Koch was walking down a Manhattan street as a private citizen.

To the list of things best appreciated when they're gone, add: members of Congress.
As another of Southern California's venerable congressmen prepares to leave the House of Representatives, it is an occasion to recognize what the loss of their power and experience costs the region.
Henry Waxman caught many off-guard by announcing Thursday he'll retire from the House rather than seek re-election. He will have been in Congress for 40 years, a voice for liberal interests and communities from Beverly Hills to Agoura Hills and the San Fernando Valley to the Palos Verdes Peninsula. He and George Miller, the San Francisco-area representative who announced his own retirement recently, are the last California Democrats from the "Watergate babies" class of reform-minded congressmen elected in 1974.
Waxman constituents facing the end of an era have company all over L.A. and San Bernardino counties after the changing of the guard of the past three years. Buck McKeon just announced his retirement, following fellow Republicans David Dreier, Elton Gallegly and Jerry Lewis. Waxman's retirement comes after fellow South Bay Democrat Jane Harman's departure to head a think tank, and Howard Berman's loss to Brad Sherman in their post-redistricting showdown.
All told, by our count, these men and women take with them an even 200 years of experience in the U.S. Capitol. Say what you will about the value of fresh blood in politics, and feed the pollsters all you like with your distaste for Congress in general. This generation of Southern California reps walks away with influence that will take its successors literally decades to match — and it leaves with memories of when Congress knew how to get things done.
Few got as much done as Waxman, 74, the mighty mite who waged notable fights on health (AIDS, tobacco, reproductive rights, insurance) and environmental issues. When he ran for his 20th term in 2012, his biggest worry wasn't his Republican opponent, or the fact his district had been shifted slightly down-coast, but the possibility voters had come to take for granted the protections he helped to put in place.
Waxman was no favorite of Republicans. But all Southern Californians feel the loss of power players like him.
Waxman may stand 5-foot-5, but he leaves big shoes to fill.

WILMINGTON, Del. -- A new lidding solution from DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers provides an easy and effective way to make peelable lids for retortable polypropylene (PP) packages. DuPont Appeel® 22D843 lidding sealant resin is pellet-blended with a polypropylene sealant resin and then processed to make a lidding structure or sealant layer in conventional extrusion or coextrusion equipment designed for polyolefin resins.
"The new Appeel® grade gives converters an easy way to tailor peel force and achieve consistent sealing and peeling performance with a preformulated masterbatch," said Terry Kendig, senior technical development specialist - DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers.
Appeel® 22D843 is typically blended with PP at addition rates of 20 to 40 percent by weight. The proportion of Appeel® in the blend determines peel strength. Lower addition rates result in higher peel force and vice versa.
Either homopolymer or copolymer PPs can be used. The choice of PP depends on the melt index requirements of the extrusion process and performance needs. Copolymer blends have a lower seal initiation temperature while homopolymer blends may withstand higher retort temperatures. Appeel® 22D843 is a PP-modified ethylene acrylate resin.
Blends of PP and the new Appeel® grade can withstand sterilization conditions from 121°C for 20 minutes up to 134°C for 6 minutes with adequate counter pressure, depending on the type of PP employed.
DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers is a world-class manufacturer of high-performance resins and films for a variety of packaging and industrial applications. Its best-known ethylene copolymer products include DuPont Surlyn® resins for packaging and industrial applications, Appeel® lidding sealant resins, Bynel® coextrudable adhesives, Selar® PA amorphous polyamide barrier resins, Nucrel® acid copolymers, Elvax® EVA copolymers, Elvaloy® terapolymers, Elvaloy® AC ethylene acrylates, Entira resin modifiers and Fusabond® modifiers, and Vamac® ethylene acrylic elastomers.
DuPont is a science-based products and services company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere. Operating in more than 90 countries, DuPont offers a wide range of innovative products and services for markets including agriculture and food; building and construction; communications; and transportation.

Dear Amy: I have a problem with a co-worker. We work in an industry that provides services to children.
I commit my life to the job, at work and at home. I go above and beyond to make sure that the services I provide are geared toward the individual and of high quality.
My co-worker, who sits next to me, does the bare minimum required to stay employed. She doesn't give a single thought about work from Friday afternoon until Monday morning.
She comes in late, admits that she doesn't care about the clients and chats on her cellphone all day. It upsets me that our superiors see us and treat us the same because what they see is the final product of our work, not the process behind it.
Since I can't change my co-worker, I know that I have to change my own feelings and perspective, but my resentment is starting to interfere with my happiness. I'm really obsessing over the discrepancy between our efforts.
I like my job and I'm happy to be industrious. It's difficult, however, when the bosses do not acknowledge the difference between those of us who devote our life to this job and those who are just in it for the paycheck. What can I do to get over it? — Upset Co-worker
Dear Upset: If your bosses see the results of your work and the work of your co-worker, and if these results are equivalent, then you should not expect them to treat you differently.
You know that you cannot change them or her. Because you work on behalf of children, you should tell yourself that their well-being is your reward. Undoubtedly, you build caring relationships with your clients that bring you satisfaction and joy. Your co-worker doesn't get to enjoy this.
Your compensation cannot be measured by a typical office yardstick. Write this down and stick it over your phone: "It's all about the kids." Post pictures (if possible) of your most memorable clients.
You should be willing to step away from this work to pace yourself for the long term.
Dear Amy: I recently got engaged to "Carol," who will eventually be stepmother to my 9-year-old son. We are madly in love but want to take our time setting a date. We're not in a rush, and no one is pushing us, except my ex-wife.
On Saturdays she insists on making herself at home in our kitchen when she drops off our son for the weekend. We're friendly, but then she'll start butting into my personal business. For instance, recently she insisted that we shouldn't wait to get married.
She stated her opinion several times, but bringing it up in our kitchen on a Saturday morning crossed the line! It was obvious that Carol was uncomfortable, but we let it go, knowing that my ex and I should be peaceful toward each other. How can I set a boundary around my personal life without upsetting my ex? — Conflicted Ex
Dear Conflicted: I'm stuck on the concept that you are worried about setting a boundary for fear of upsetting your ex-wife. Why should her feelings take precedence over your feelings or those of your fiancee?
If your ex-wife starts making suggestions about your romantic life, you should tell her, "When we're ready to discuss our marriage plans, we'll let you know."
Do not play this out in front of your son.
Send questions via e-mail to email@example.com or write to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

Your presentation doesn't start when you enter the room; it starts the moment you've committed to speak. If you take advantage of opportunities to reinforce your message before you take the stage, you're much more likely to change people's thinking and behavior.
Explain to your audience ahead of time how they will benefit from your talk. If you're presenting to colleagues, you might e-mail them a summary of your message and a rough list of points you plan to cover, for example, or send a meeting request with a detailed agenda. If you're going to speak to people from outside your organization— conference attendees, for instance—post your biography and talking points online and provide links to any pre-reading material.
