Cruella de Bud
In recent weeks, though, Bud's been pushing the boundaries and taking a (tentative) walk on the wild side. He'd gotten a Disney book and cd set for Christmas, but had ignored it completely for months. Then suddenly - as he does - he pulled it out, dusted it off, gave it his full attention, and discovered the wonder that is 101 Dalmatians.
He's been reading along with the storybook as he listens to the cd. He's been listening to the cd in the dark each night as he falls asleep. And, much to my surprise, he has gone to the shelf that holds a wholly ignored and overlooked Disney video collection and pulled down the 101 Dalmatians DVD. For a while, he simply carried it around and looked at it. And then he watched it. Twice.
It has opened a whole new, thrillingly subversive door for Bud. I wondered what Bud's take on this new on-screen interpersonal dynamic would be: would he get the good-vs-evil interplay? Would he understand why we are cheering on dalmatians Pongo and Perdita and disdaining the evil Cruella de Vil and her thugs-for-hire, Horace and Jasper? But I needn't have worried. Bud understands it perfectly. He knows who the good guys are; he knows who the bad guys are. But for the first time in his life, he seems intrigued by - drawn to - not frightened of - the bad guys. So, suddenly, Bud's speech has become peppered with Cruella-speak:
"Why, you imbecile!" he'll shout at me. Or,
"You fools!" And, worse,
"Ah, shut up!"
Bud and I have started talking about time, place, and circumstance for words like that. We've talked about what makes Cruella a "bad guy" and why she uses words like that. He gets it.
"Mean words make people sad," I've explained. "We don't say mean words to people."
"Just to toys," Bud has offered.
And so I hear him as he plays with his characters, muttering under his breath as he makes Bert scold Ernie: "You IMBECILE!"
I recognize it as another double-edged developmental step forward. Bud's discovering another layer of the human condition. He's recognizing it within himself. And, truth be told, he's grooving on it.
He's channeling his inner Cruella. As for me - I'm just taking a deep breath and preparing myself as best I can for the tween years.

They're powerful, those words. I can see why he'd like to experiment with a word like "IMBECILE" - it's such a discovery, really, the use of words as weapons (words that, when used rightly, can be instruments of self-defence, not merely aggression).

Yes, Bubandpie, exactly. And it's not just the words - he is loving the power in the inflection: "You IM-becile!" I can almost hear how good it feels to say.

- Mom without a manual said...
Yes, such a double edged sword. I understand Bud's excitement AND mom's concerns all too well!
I have no doubt however that your talking about these words will curtail the problems. You are always on top of these things!

My five year old son enjoys enunciating at high decibels "Get! Out!" as said by Doc Hudson in the movie Cars. It's mostly directed towards his younger brother.
I can't say it's unwarranted and I'm excited that he's finding ways to communicate his displeasure. But I'm trying to encourage kinder communication. At which point I get: "Get! Out! Please!"

Oh, I wish you could write me a script for how to handle this. We have also stayed safely in the realm of preschool tv, but little by little he's branching out.
He's still scared of Scooby Doo and all the assorted superheros, but every now and again, I hear bits of dialogue that makes me shudder to think of those tween years to come.

That is interesting. My daughter, M., who is also 8, approaches things the same way - the seed is planted, then months later, she suddenly decides to dive in.
She has been reading since 3, but insisted only on reading picture books. She would insist that she "couldn't possibly" read a novel, though she'd occasionally slip and read the NY Times.
As Bud did with his video, she decided to pick up Lemony Snicket, took to her room, and read it with gusto- out loud - in her room. She savored the words, and punctuated the sentences with inflection and expression worthy of a seasoned actor.
I worried for a moment, but just as her echolalia mitigated a few years ago, and as we have also seen Bud LEARN in this way, I feel reassured that she is using this as a processing tool and practice for social interaction.
I love knowing that Bud loves words as M. does. It's a wonderful passion. And what a character is Cruella!

Yes, the tween years were a challenge. Echolalia of words we don't use in our home, occasional innappropriate language with a teacher. We still make it clear to him that some language (and some humor) is acceptable socially, but not at school.

Love this and totally relate to opening "a whole new, thrillingly subversive door for Bud". My 9 year old is much like this. My favorite example is him telling me "STOP SINGING!!!" . It was months before I knew it came from Shrek.
- June 26, 2007 10:31 AM
Ah, yes! A whole new door is opening for Bud. How exciting! For TJ, it's "that Lucille", and "meanie Jim", and "dumb brother Ollie" from the Junie B. Jones books. We have frequent conversations about why Junie B. says the word "stupid", even though it is is not a nice word to say.
The other day TJ scolded Grandpa for telling the clerk he would like to purchase the dam postcard (meaning the dam and river), but TJ thought he was using the other meaning of the word. He knows what is appropriate and what is not, but is so interested in understanding why someone would use those words, the intentions and emotions behind it, and how it makes people feel when said.
This stuff can be such great learning tools!

I laughed through this whole post because Conor is just like this! He suddenly discovers something that he has had for months, years. He also re-discovers DVDs constantly. We are currently on a Sneetches and Oswald kick...overandoverandover.
We have also been happy with the viewing choices because of possible scripting opportunities. But, he has now discovered, "NOW!" from Finding Nemo and has learned "Shut up" from somewhere. Such powerful words to learn and discover. All a part of growing, I guess? Sigh.

OH!! May I laugh? Please?
My Gianna says, with a serious face, "We don't say SHUT UP. We say "Be Quiet." Then again, she's the kid who at three said to me, "Where's my fukky blanket?" having heard her Dad or me utter the same phrase spelled differently at 3:00am when she'd lose her blankie under her bed or deep in the sheets.
She doesn't do any of what Sue Senator calls "Silly talk" or my other friends call "TV talk."
Boy, you have a LOT of movies to avoid down the road. And forget Rugrats too - those kids are RUDE!
- June 26, 2007 6:35 PM
It's so funny. We ask for our kids to be age-appropriate and then realize we should be careful what we wish for. My son's latest TV quote is something I can't quite make out followed by "....I'll kill you". I am appalled by it, but smile inside as I reprimand him. Watch out for Spongebob too!
- June 26, 2007 10:44 PM
Oh....I forgot to ask....Did you catch Paul and Ringo on Larry King tonight? Awesome!!!
- June 26, 2007 10:45 PM
This is one of the hardest parts of parenting for me. As I watch palpable pieces of my neurotypical son's innocence slip away as a natural part of his development, it is my tendency to mourn and slip into depression rather than focus on the obvious trade-off you have pointed to here: potential that is used to step up his positive emotional and physical abilities. Thanks.

When I read stories like yours, I see myself as a little boy, and I so wish I could tell you what it was that drew me from that inward-looking place into the world of other people.
In my book, I tried to set that out, but it's almost fifty years ago, and it's so hard.
Anyway, I hope stories like mine at least provide parents like you with some inspiration. When I was little, we got sent to the State School if we didn't work out at public school. Luckily for you and your family, the world today is a different place.

Wow, I cannot even begin to imagine what that must have been like for you in the moment! LOL Sounds like Bud is making some big language/communication/cognition leaps lately. How wonderful. :-)
- June 27, 2007 9:14 PM
My younger (PDD) son used to employ lots of echolalia. But my most vivid memory of a violent "echo" is from his neurotypical 4-yr-old brother, who once threatened, "I'll lay you open from tail to chin!" Gotta watch out for those knight books...

Our 3 and 5 yr olds aren't even close to being talkers yet. But, 'Mom' tells of their discovery of the intended use for spoons in her debut blog posting on our blog.
New discoveries sure do bring a smile usually just when we need one.

Introduction[edit | edit source]
Church records and histories are critical to research in South Carolina because of the lack of civil vital records prior to 1900. During the colonial period, the Church of England, with 25 parishes by 1778, was the official church of South Carolina. In addition, many South Carolinians were Lutherans, Huguenots, and Quakers. Between the American Revolution and the year 1900, the largest religious groups in the state were Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians.[1]
The Inventory of (SC) Church Archives 1937-1939 is a free online digitized version of W.P.A. reports describing South Carolina church records. It has been made available online by the South Caroliniana Library. At present (9/27/10), it includes reports from Abbeville, Aiken, Allendale, Lancaster, Richland, and Saluda counties.
The Family History Library has a large collection of Baptist, Methodist, and Church of England (also known as Anglican, and later Protestant Episcopal) church records on microfilm. From the Charleston area, for example, the library has copies of records from the South Carolina Historical Society, Southern Baptist Convention, and local churches. These materials include records of the Methodists (1845 to 1980 on 145 microfiche), Baptists (1868 to 1955), Evangelical Lutherans (from 1778), Congregationalists (from 1732), Protestant Episcopals (from 1713), Lutherans (from 1749), and Society of Friends (from 1719).
Many denominations have collected their records into central repositories (see below). Church repositories are listed in Local and Family History in South Carolina (see For Further Reading).

Jews[edit | edit source]
The Jewish faith has been in South Carolina in some form since the late 17th century. In fact the South Carolina's consitution, written by the founding fathers of the colony included the following phrase: Jews, Heathens, and others should have a chance to acquaint themselves with the purity of the Christian religion and by good usage and persuasion...be won over to embrace...the truth."
The Jews who first settled in Charlestown came largely from England and its' possessions. Usually settling in the port towns as merchants some hoped to buy land and become planters.[5]

David Bogenberger was just doing what many young people think they're supposed to do at college.
Bogenberger, a 19-year-old NIU freshman from Palatine, was pledging a fraternity. On the evening of Nov. 1, he showed up at the Pi Kappa Alpha house at 1020 W. Hillcrest Drive for "parents night," a party that police say was actually an alcohol-soaked hazing ritual.
Police say many of the pledges at the "Pikes" house that night reported getting sick or passing out from all the booze they drank at the urging of fraternity members; Bogenberger drank so much that his brain couldn't tell his heart to keep beating. He was found dead at the fraternity house the following morning. Toxicology test results released Monday showed he had a 0.351 percent blood-alcohol content when he died.
A 160-pound man would have to consume 15 drinks in two hours to reach that level.
On Monday, authorities announced 22 fraternity members would face hazing charges in connection with the incident, and Northern Illinois University said academic charges were being brought against 31 Pikes members.
The charges against the members of the fraternity who were involved with this event are entirely appropriate. So too are the felony charges against the fraternity leaders and the event organizer.
They allowed someone who trusted them to drink himself to death in their fraternity house.
They should have known that their behavior was risky, their decisions ill-advised and that the liability would ultimately be theirs if something terrible happened.
It's senseless. A young man with promise has lost his life, his family is suffering, and more than 30 of his would-be fraternity brothers must deal with legal, academic, and personal repercussions of his accidental death.
The parents night at the Pikes' house party was not registered with NIU officials even though policy requires that all such functions be registered five days in advance. As a result, there was virtually no oversight.
It seems unlikely that this event was the only unregistered gathering to take place on Greek Row this year.
We can't fault the university for not regulating an event it was not aware was happening. But we do question whether there is a sensible way for university officials to keep a closer eye on what is going on in its students' Greek organizations.
Perhaps the fraternities and sororities themselves should make sure there is an adult present at all times at their local houses, someone who can be responsible when others have lost the capacity.
This incident has ended one man's life and affected many others. It is a tragedy that NIU's Greek organizations and the university itself must examine and work to prevent a recurrence.

"We needed a single solution that made it possible for us tie together all of our various sources of data and information," said Brad Smith, director of payroll services and human resource information systems at Kennesaw State, in a prepared statement. "We wanted something that was easy to administer and enabled us to deliver data and data analysis tools to users' desktops. Toad Business Intelligence Suite gave us all of that and more."
The school decided to adopt Dell's Toad Business Intelligence Suite. "The suite includes Toad Intelligence Central," according to a news release, "which allows users to combine data across multiple sources, locations, and formats and then collaborate on logical data views through two desktop tools: Toad Data Point for analytic data provisioners and Toad Decision Point for business analysts."
Since adopting the software, Kennesaw State has reduced the time HR personel spend correcting reporting errors by 20 hours each week and has gone from generating 12 automated reports each year to delivering 50 reports in less than two months.
The new software has also made it possible for non-technical personel, such as the provost or academic affairs officers, to "pull reports featuring years of enrollment, tuition, attendance, and expense data to further aid decision-making," according to a news release. "This has proven particularly useful during the summer session, when it's critical for the university to proactively predict whether classes will incur cost, break even, or be profitable."
"For three years, I've manually created reports for the provost and academic affairs officers, but now I'm able to put that data into Toad Intelligence Central and give them the ability to pull reports themselves — much earlier than before," said Smith, in a prepared statement. "Toad BI Suite will enable them to be more proactive in their planning."
Located northwest of Atlanta, Kennesaw State is the third-largest university in Georgia. It has seen rapid growth in recent years, from approximately 20,600 undergraduate and graduate students in 2007 to 24,600 in 2012. More information about Kennesaw State University is available at kennesaw.edu.

Pagan Paths
Cat Treadwell — professional Druid and nature-mystic - gives us a perspective from the English countryside.
Pagan & Proud
There's a lot of changes going on in the Pagan community in the UK lately. Boundaries are being pushed, people actively questioning where they fit into their own community and the wider world. By and large, this is A Good Thing.
However, I've been involved in a few conversations with other (relatively) 'old hands' - which I think means those who've been around the Pagan block long enough to get over the initial enthusiasm, become cynical, and then rediscover their practice as an actual way of life. And the same frustrations are being raised, time and again.
(Handfasting performed by the author, Stonehenge, May 2011. Photo copyright PeacockPix)
Issues include the increase in spirituality as a commodity to be purchased, titles to be acquired online rather than earned. Absolutism - my way's right, you're doing it wrong. Hypocrisy - talking a good talk, but without much going on beyond the words. And that old favourite: Bitchcraft (otherwise known as 'bitching about other Pagans because you don't like something they're doing.' Or 'because someone did something cool and you weren't involved'). Admittedly, usually worst when Pagans gather and alcohol is added, but that's just socialising... right?
Paganism is growing up. Numbers are being counted (as announced by the recent UK Census), voices are being heard in the wider media, not just tabloids, and representation is being sought within higher levels of social and political bodies. Validity is the goal, I think - we're not just 'fringe' lunatics anymore, with our crazy hippy ways. We're becoming legitimate, to be respected and listened to. Even in our 'free' Western societies, this is a major achievement.
Which makes those frustrations all the more... well, frustrating. Because who's going to listen to a group who can't represent themselves well, let alone the wider Pagan community? Arthur Pendragon speaks words that are worth hearing and lives his beliefs clearly in his everyday life, but generally gets stereotyped as just 'eccentric' or an 'eco-protestor'. UK Druids get cross because they feel that he doesn't represent them, but then most Pagan groups argue over the need for a 'figurehead' or 'leader' versus the innate individualism of their spirituality... it's a tricky situation.
The Druid Network fought for many years to gain charitable status, working hard to essentially be recognised by redefining the meaning of 'religion' to the UK Charities Commission. The word (and its associations) 'Religion' is very subjective in legal terms, but TDN pushed that to make it applicable. After all, legalities should be relevant as needed, as tools, not closing doors but opening them by maintaining boundary guidelines rather than restrictions. We all hear stories of those laws that have never been removed from the statute books but which are ludicrous in the world today... until somebody calls on them (perhaps inappropriately).
I've spoken before of the media storm that arose when this news broke. Most notably, one right-wing UK newspaper printed a (profoundly ignorant, ill-informed and deliberately rabble-rousing) editorial that made a joke of the whole affair. The response was perhaps unexpected, to say the least - as online comments exploded on their website, and a petition was delivered to their offices in London, demanding an apology. Pagans should be protected from religious hatred and defamation as much as anybody.
But since that hubbub began to die down, those actually within the Pagan community have started to grumble. Sour grapes, perhaps, but ill-feeling nonetheless - that TDN had somehow got too big for its boots, asserting authority that it didn't actually have, and other such mutterings. Most of this is entirely groundless, and as ill-informed as the aforementioned article - but rumour persists. This isn't the first case (I'm sure Gerald Gardner had the same!), and it won't be the last.
My frustration comes about from the sheer bloody pointlessness of it all. Never has a Pagan Community been more needed. We're big enough to admit we've still got a long way to go. We're never going to be an overarching 'Church' - there's too many differences for that (groups and individual paths). But there's common ground as well, and that's the key, as I see it. We each do our own thing, in our own way, but with common unity, purpose, respect and understanding.
I'm fully aware how much of a challenge this is.
While we're fractured and bickering amongst ourselves, we're a joke, to be mocked by those outside. Those who stand up publicly (myself included) are very aware that we're exposing ourselves to the slings and arrows of anyone who wants to take a pot-shot - but we've got to be prepared. If we stand up as Pagans (of whichever path) we have to speak with honesty, integrity and honour. We have to represent ourselves as individuals, of course, but with awareness of the wider community as well.
Because, as the varied and colourful serpent of practitioners at Pagan Pride calls out to the 'Muggle' world as it stops traffic with its march through Nottingham City, 'We are Pagan - We are Proud'. This isn't just a slogan. We claim that label/title for a reason. At that same event, I heard so many people exclaim with joy 'I was scared to come along, but now I'm just so glad to see so many others here too'. We never could have accomplished such a thing even 10 years ago.
(Esme Knight, organiser of Pagan Pride - Nottingham, 2012)
We can support each other. Inspire and help, rather than bitch and degrade; leave that to the right-wing press. It's not all fluffy nonsense - it's about being simply human beings, searching for our own small path amidst the massive noise of the 21st century.
We're going to have differences. We're not all going to agree, all the time. But we can recognise those varied colours making up a much broader picture, seeing where we join and where we differ.
Moving forward, together.

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- "There were more duellers all over the stairs and in the hall. Death Eaters everywhere Harry looked: Yaxley, close to the front doors, in combat with Flitwick, a masked Death Eater duelling Kingsley right beside them. Students ran in every direction; some carrying or dragging injured friends."
- —Description[src]
This conflict was fought as part of the Battle of Hogwarts, on 2 May, 1998. As Death Eaters fought students and teachers alike and students ran carrying injured friends, Acromantulas entered the Hall, scattering the fighters and taking Rubeus Hagrid to the Forbidden Forest. Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger sped through this skirmish while on their way to the Shrieking Shack.
Background information
- "But she broke off as yells and shouts and the unmistakable noises of duelling filled the corridor. Harry looked around and his heart seemed to fail: Death Eaters had penetrated Hogwarts."
- —Description[src]
After Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters managed to break the protective enchantments around Hogwarts Castle, the Battle of Hogwarts began. Duels broke out in the grounds as the Death Eaters made their way toward the Castle. A while later, the Death Eaters had made it to the foot of the Castle, and used giants to breach into the north battlements. As Death Eaters penetrated its walls, duels started breaking out within the Castle.[1]
The skirmish
- "Screams of terror rent the air: the fighters scattered, Death Eaters and Hogwartians alike, and red and green jets of light flew into the midst of the oncoming monsters, which shuddered and reared, more terrifying than ever."
- —Description[src]
Having already passed through a battle in a corridor above, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger (all under Harry's Invisibility Cloak) made their way to the Shrieking Shack and to Lord Voldemort, who was keeping his last Horcrux, Nagini, in safety. As they passed through the upper landing of the Marble Staircase, they saw Draco Malfoy pleading with a masked Death Eater and saying he was one of the Malfoys, one of their side. Harry Stunned the Death Eater, and Ron punched Malfoy, yelling "And that's the second time we've saved your life tonight, you two-faced bastard!" in reference to the events on the Room of Requirement.[2]
There were duels all around the Hall; Filius Flitwick fought Corban Yaxley close to the heavy wooden front doors, Kingsley Shacklebolt duelled a masked Death Eater on a balcony above the Hall. Neville Longbottom arrived at the skirmish with armfuls of Venomous Tentacula, which looped itself happily around the nearest Death Eater and began reeling him in. The Slytherin house point hourglass was shattered, spilling emeralds everywhere, making fighters slip and stagger as they ran.[2]
As Lavender Brown and another fighter fell over the banisters of the balcony above Fenrir Greyback sped four-legged across the hall to sink his teeth in her. With a deafening blast from Hermione's wand, Fenrir was blasted into the marble banisters. As the werewolf struggled to return to his feet Sybill Trelawney threw a crystal ball to his head making him fall to the floor unconscious.[2]
The heavy wooden front doors burst open, and a number of Acromantulas forced their way into the hall. All the fighters scattered and scurried from the creatures with screams of terror, and tried to back the monsters off casting spells at them. Rubeus Hagrid thundered down the Marble Staircase yelling not to hurt them, but as he did so the spiders engulfed him in their midst and retreated into the Forbidden Forest.[2]
- Rubeus Hagrid: "Don't hurt 'em, don't hurt 'em!"
- Harry Potter: "HAGRID, NO! HAGRID, COME BACK! HAGRID! HAGRID!"
- — Rubeus Hagrid is taken by the Acromantula swarm[src]
Lavender Brown was killed during this skirmish, having sustained some degree of injuries over the attack by Fenrir Greyback.[2] Rubeus Hagrid was taken by the Acromantulas into the Forbidden Forest where he was kept by the Death Eater forces as a hostage.[3]
The flagstones on the hall were left stained with blood, the Slytherin house point hourglass was shattered and emeralds filled the floor, along with pieces of marble and splintered wood. Part of the banisters was blown away,[4] as were several windows.[2]
Behind the scenes
- In the second part of the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, this skirmish occurs like in the book with some noticeable differences:
- Most of it takes place in the Viaduct Courtyard instead of in the Entrance Hall proper.
- Draco Malfoy is never seen saying to the Death Eaters that he was on their side; likewise, Harry, Ron and Hermione never save him twice.
- Unlike the novel, Fenrir Greyback dies from Hermione Granger by hitting him with a Stunning Spell that sends him across the Viaduct Courtyard and falls into the Ravine below.
- Rubeus Hagrid being taken into the Forbidden Forest by the Acromantulas is never seen, although later in the film he is kept hostage by the Death Eaters.

text: The production of clean and sustainable energy is considered as one of the most urgent issues for our society. Mastering the oxidation of water to dioxygen is essential for the production of solar fuels. A study of the influence of the substituents on the catalytic activity of a series of mononuclear Ru complexes (2a-e) based on a tetradentate ligand framework is presented. At neutral pH, using [Ru(bpy)(3)](PF6)(3) (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) as the terminal oxidant, a good correlation between the turnover frequency (TOF) and the Hammett sigma(meta) parameters was obtained. Additionally, a general pathway for the deactivation of Ru-based catalysts 2a-e during the catalytic oxidation of water through poisoning by carbon monoxide was demonstrated. These results highlight the importance of ligand design for fine-tuning the catalytic activity of water oxidation catalysts.

Indians pay tribute to trailblazing Robinson
CLEVELAND -- Hanging inside each locker at Progressive Field on Tuesday was a jersey bearing a number that carries more meaning than any other in baseball: No. 42.
That is the number that belonged to Jackie Robinson and once each year Major League Baseball players wear it on their backs in honor of his legacy. Jackie Robinson Day was Monday, the anniversary of when Robinson broke down baseball's color barrier in 1947, but the Indians had a scheduled day off. In 1997, under the direction of Commissioner Bud Selig, Robinson's No. 42 was retired across all of Major League Baseball in an unprecedented tribute.
"That was a good idea," center fielder Michael Bourn said of wearing No. 42 each season. "Without him, who knows where African Americans would be in baseball? There's a lot of people who have been able to play because of him. He had to endure a lot of pain and a lot of things that he probably didn't want to, but for our sake, he stepped on that field and he did it.
"I like it. It's a special day in history. Every year, I know myself, I like to play on Jackie Robinson Day. It's always a special day to play on."
Beyond wearing No. 42, Cleveland's planned pregame celebration for Robinson included a special video tribute and an on-field presentation to recognize Major League Baseball's Diverse Business Partners program.
"I think it's awesome that we embrace it," manager Terry Francona said. "I like the idea that hopefully we're being respectful of what he accomplished, but at the same time, I hope we're recognizing that that was awful."
Francona said he also understood why many people believe Larry Doby's number should also be retired by Major League Baseball. Doby became the first African-American ballplayer in the American League when he debuted with the Indians on July 5, 1947.
"For a guy that came along right after [Robinson]," Francona said, "and probably endured every bit as much, you don't hear much. But that's the way our society is."

Protesters rally near stadium of Confederations Cup opener in Brasilia
BRASILIA, Brazil – About 1,000 protesters complaining about the high cost of staging the World Cup demonstrated in front of the National Stadium in Brasilia just hours before Brazil played Japan in the opening match of the Confederations Cup on Saturday.
Riot and mounted police were called in to keep demonstrators from getting too close to the stadium as thousands of fans arrived for the inaugural match in the nation's capital. The protesters started chanting and marching about a mile away from the venue.
Tear gas bombs were thrown by the police and pepper spray was used to try to control the protesters as they moved near the venue. Local media said police later shot rubber bullets to disperse the crowd and at least two people were injured, including a 16-year-old student. Authorities said 15 people were arrested.
The match was not disrupted by the protest and Brazil won 3-0 in front of a crowd of 67,423 people.
The protesters shouted against the local government and carried banners saying that too much money was being spent on the Confederations Cup and next year's World Cup while the majority of the population continued to struggle.
"We are demanding more respect to the population," said 21-year-old Vinicius de Assis, one of the protesters. "They are building these overpriced stadiums and are not worrying about the situation of their own people."
The demonstrators also shouted against FIFA, saying that soccer's governing body doesn't have the right to make demands on the Brazilian government. "FIFA, go away," they chanted.
The protesters also said they are being excluded from the tournaments because of the high prices of match tickets.
"This is a shame, this is our money that they used for these tournaments," said demonstrator Jaisson Peres. "Millions and millions spent and we don't get anything in return."
They held banners and signs reading "Health? Education? No! Here everything is for the World Cup."
"I'm upset that all public money for construction, hospitals and schools is being used to build stadiums without any utility," said student Ana Leticia Ribeiro. "After the World Cup, no one will use this."
The stadium in Brasilia was one of the most expensive of the six built ahead of the World Cup warm-up tournament, costing about $600 million.
The local government initially said that only about 200 demonstrators participated in the protest. It said in a statement that police used "progressive force" to keep the protest under control but said they would take action if needed to keep the demonstrators away from the stadium.
"Authorities will not allow any disturbance of public order or any threats against the match," the government said. "It's guaranteed that fans have complete access to the stadium."
There have been violent protests in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro these past weeks as thousands of demonstrators complained of rising bus and subway fares. The protesters in Brasilia said they had no intention of vandalizing any public property.
FIFA on Friday expressed "full confidence" that Brazilian authorities have shown they can manage disorder in the streets.
The Brazilian government said 54,000 security officers are involved in implementing the security plan designed for the warm-up competition. The national defense contingent relies on 20,000 security officers in the host cities, including more than 1,000 military personnel specialized in combating terrorism.

Stacy Schiff was working as an editor at Simon & Schuster in New York when the idea first tiptoed into her brain. She had been rereading the works of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the French aviator who wrote the enormously popular fable "The Little Prince," when it occurred to her that his dramatic and too-short life would make a great book.
Schiff meant to suggest the idea to an agent for another writer to do, but something kept stopping her. "I started to get very possessive about it," she said. "There was this burgeoning obsession of not only do I want this book, but I actually would like to be the one to write it myself."
She began spending her lunch breaks poking around at the library, "and I just started falling down in the way that always happens with biography -- you become obsessed with someone else's life." It was a remarkable obsession for her; she had never intended to write a book. Twenty-one years later, she has written four, all biographies and each one widely praised.
The most recent, "Cleopatra: A Life," was the most challenging.
Schiff took on a subject who not only left behind no documents but who also had been written about hundreds of times.
The trick with any biography is to know that there is something new to say. But when she starts a new book, "I don't know," Schiff said. "Which is why I don't sleep at night."
First draft in longhand
Schiff's office is a block from the New York Public Library. It's where she plows through her bulging files of meticulous notes, writes and rewrites, stares out the window as she solves some particularly thorny riddle of a subject's life.
Her first drafts are in pencil on legal pad. "I type much faster than I think," she said. "The physical longhand slows me down. And also, there's just something about the pencil on the paper, the actual feel of touching the paper, that somehow is very gratifying to me."
Schiff, who is 50, travels between homes in New York and western Canada. She has three children, ages 11, 18 and 20, and a husband, Marc de La Bruyère, a businessman who lives in Edmonton, Alberta, whom she thanks in tender and humorous ways in her books' acknowledgments -- for always having a pencil, for exhibiting savoir-faire.
Schiff left Simon & Schuster in the spring of 1990 and sold the Saint-Exupéry proposal six months later. "It was thrilling! I can tell you precisely where I was standing!" she said. "There is a telephone in western Canada, in Jasper National Park." She had called her agent from the park and found out that her book had attracted several offers.
"Remember, I had a leg up -- I knew how to write a book proposal," she said. "So, of course, for the next three or four years I worried that I knew how to write a proposal, but not how to write a book."
That fear should be alleviated by now. Schiff's Saint-Exupéry biography was a Pulitzer finalist, and "Véra (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov)" won the Pulitzer in 2000. Her third book, "A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America," won the George Washington Book Prize.
"Cleopatra" is just out in paperback and has won a PEN award. It has garnered thunderous praise, from everywhere. The Washington Post called it "a great, glorious spree of a story." The New York Times praised her verve, style and wit.
Never meant to be a writer
Schiff grew up in Adams, a town of about 8,500 people in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts.
Her father was a merchant and her mother a professor of French literature. Schiff was a reader, but not a particularly devoted one. "I had one of those childhoods that went in stages of falling in and out of love with books."
Still, after graduating from Phillips Academy and Williams College, she entered the world of publishing, working for Basic Books, Viking Press and Simon & Schuster, and serving as a consulting editor for the Paris Review.
She edited both fiction and nonfiction, including work by essayist Phillip Lopate, but she did not write on the side. "I wrote as much as any editor writes," she said. "Which is to say, I wrote flap copy and catalog copy."
After Saint-Exupéry, she turned her attention to Véra Nabokov, Benjamin Franklin and Cleopatra. She chooses her subjects by the questions they raise. "I would say ultimately it comes down to an obsession that you hope someone else might share," she said.
Each has presented a particular challenge. Tracking down Saint-Exupéry's former compatriots and girlfriends was difficult, pre-Internet. Benjamin Franklin left reams of journals and letters from his time in France, but most of it was written with an ulterior motive and so had to be decoded. Véra Nabokov was pathologically private.
The problem with Cleopatra
And then there was Cleopatra. "I'd been thinking a lot about women and ambition, and women and accomplishment, and Cleopatra stands at that crossroad," Schiff said. "This is sort of the ultimate brew of sex and politics, which seem to me to be the two subjects we still obsess the most about.
"It just seemed like there was a lot I could sink my teeth into there."
But there are no documents from her lifetime; papyrus, after all, deteriorates. The earliest accounts came from 100 years after her death, and, as with Franklin's papers, the authors had agendas and so their stories could not always be trusted.
On top of all that, everyone already thinks they know her.
"Many people have spoken for her, including the greatest playwrights and poets; we have been putting words in her mouth for two thousand years," Schiff wrote in "Cleopatra." "In one of the busiest afterlives in history she has gone on to become an asteroid, a video game, a cliché, a cigarette, a slot machine, a strip club, a synonym for Elizabeth Taylor. Shakespeare attested to Cleopatra's infinite variety. He had no idea."
The paragraph is classic Schiff; not just thoroughly researched and documented and fact-checked, but witty to boot. Later, when writing about Cleopatra gliding up the Nile (and please try not to picture Elizabeth Taylor here), Schiff compared her to both the Trojan Horse and the Beatles on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
That wry tone was deliberate, she told the Wall Street Journal. "When you are writing about a subject that's invisible or inert, the biographer has no choice but to come out from behind the bushes a bit more because you are having to animate ... your subject a bit more," she said.
But that's about as far out of the bushes as she is willing to creep. Her next book, "The Witches," will be about the Salem witch trials. At no time, she says firmly, will her next book ever be about herself.
"There is still a small part of me that would prefer to be behind the scenes and in the editor's chair," she said. "I've always wanted to write an essay about how the biographer leads two lives, the life he leads, and the life he understands. The reason I write biography is I don't have to meditate on my own life."

Voters in a 10-town special election today approved the $73.8 million project to renovate Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School, with 5,304 in favor and 3,837 opposed.
Of the 77,088 registered voters in the school district's 10-member towns, 9,147 cast ballots representing an 11.8 percent turnout.
Only three towns — North Brookfield, Paxton and Oxford — voted against the project, but by the slimmest of margins.
At the polls in Southbridge, Paula Richards said she supported the project because her son, a Bay Path junior focusing on electrical services, "loves the school."
Her son's MCAS scores have earned him a tuition scholarship to any state college.
"Even if he doesn't use that trade he will always have it as a backup," Ms. Richards said.
The project, on the drawing board since 2002, is to renovate and expand the 40-year-old school on Old Muggett Hill Road in Charlton to meet today's educational standards, correct deficiencies and bring the structure up to building codes.
Bay Path Superintendent-Director John A. Lafleche said last night, "The Bay Path community is grateful to all residents of the 10-town district who came out and voted in today's special election. We are excited that a majority of those who voted supported our addition/renovation project."
Project supporters, including the "Vote Yes for Bay Path" committee, said the plan is the most cost-effective solution for a long list of capital deficiencies and inadequate educational space.
Retired teacher Paul A. Welcome of Auburn said he voted yes. "I'm for it. We need it for the kids who want a trade. We have to support all our kids."
Opponents, such as the "Vote No to $73.8 Million" committee, said the school should pursue isolated repairs without raising taxes by seeking aid through one of the state's repair programs.
Dave O'Malley cast a no vote in Rutland.
"It's not the time or the place with the economy the way it is to go out spending money that we don't need to," he said. "It's a good school but times are tough right now."
Of the $73.8 million, up to $47 million, or about 65 percent, will be paid by the Massachusetts School Building Authority. Auburn, Charlton, Dudley, North Brookfield, Oxford, Paxton, Rutland, Southbridge, Spencer and Webster are to proportionally pay the remaining $27.3 million.
The ballot question authorized Bay Path to finance the $27.3 million through 30-year obligation bonds.
Mr. Lafleche said the estimated financial impact on each town is based on its student population. Interest rates and construction contracts, he said, were conservatively estimated and could be lower than projected.
Although voters gave a nod to the project, the ballot question did not determine how the towns will pay their portion of the debt.
Charlton and Spencer voters approved Proposition 2 � debt exclusions for this project in May, thereby authorizing debt payment by increasing property taxes for the life of the loan.
Rutland voters approved a debt exclusion yesterday.
"There is no doubt that the approved project is the most educationally sound and fiscally responsible way to provide vocational education in Southern Worcester County for the next 50 years," Mr. Lafleche said last night.
A 50,000-square-foot addition will expand classrooms and add science labs, while three quarters of the work is for renovations and improvements, such as a new roof, windows, heating and ventilation system, asbestos abatement and the addition of a fire sprinkler system.
Mr. Lafleche said the next step is to hire a project manager. He expects an early summer groundbreaking.
Staff reporters Brian Lee and Craig Semon and correspondent Ellie Oleson contributed to this story.

. . . [he] proves the accordion can make a hauntingly beautiful sound.
Martynas's subtle control of dynamics and lyrical line . . . [is impressive]. Try his lovely suave delivery of Verdi's "Force of Destiny" theme . . . [the arrangements] are effective, polished and skilfully produced . . . [if you cannot] smile at Bizet's "Carmen" Habanera, cleverly fused with the tango faithful "La Cumparsita", perhaps you should visit the doctor.
. . . [Martynas is as] formidable as an arranger as he is as a player; in the Vivaldi he is playing the role of a good deal of the orchestra as well as of soloist, and the small ensemble accompanying him is deployed in such a way that the contemporary pop rhythms seem to flow naturally out of the tangos and Eastern European dances of yore. The bottom line is that this is a tremendous amount of fun, and if you think you don't like accordions, think again.
Accordion Hero Aims To Conquer The World
Martynas, winner of the Accordion World Cup, lifts the spirits with a riotous ride through a wealth of musical styles
Chart success is on the cards for Martynas. The 22-year-old Lithuanian accordionist makes his debut on Decca with his self-titled album, a collection of rich classics, gypsy dances and potent arrangements of contemporary hits. Martynas turns his spectacular technique, charismatic personality and musical panache to a programme of pieces that covers everything from Brahms's Fifth Hungarian Dance and Verdi's La forza del destino (Jean de Florette) to Lady Gaga's Telephone. Hear the accordion as you've never heard it before, from the percussion effects produced by Martynas in Katy Perry's Hot N Cold to his impassioned take on Nossa Nossa, the Brazilian football anthem. Accordion hero Martynas joins forces with superstar violinist David Garrett to perform Gardel's famous tango, Por una cabeza. Their vibrant partnership adds to the wide appeal of a compelling tracklist that sizzles with energy.
Martynas passionately believes in the power of his instrument to demolish boundaries between different musical genres. He is determined, above all, to reveal the full expressive potential of accordion to the broadest possible audience. "Yes, I want to change the image of the accordion," he observes. "But I'm also trying to show all the different possibilities I have as a performer with this instrument. In my home country, people see the accordion as a folk instrument, but I always had an ambition to expand that attitude and make the instrument more popular." Martynas was produced by John Haywood, widely known for his work with David Garrett, and includes sassy accompaniments for a gipsy-style band, string quartet and orchestra.
Martynas' natural gift for communication was recognised at home in 2010 when he stormed to victory in Lithuania's Got Talent. The young musician, who was studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London at the time, became a primetime television star in his native land. There's a special magic about Martynas' music-making, clear in the fine details and big bones of his interpretations. His album offers listeners a chance to experience the fine artistry that helped him win the "Coupe Mondiale", the accordionist's World Cup, at the 2010 World Accordion Players' Competition.
"I'd always dreamt about taking part in the 'Coupe Mondiale', but I never had the courage or enough time to prepare myself," Martynas recalls. "But it was held in Croatia in 2010, so it was convenient for me to fly from London. I had a good programme ready prepared so everything seemed to be perfect. I entered in the piano accordion category and won. I really couldn't believe it!"
In Lithuania, Martynas is seen as a local hero. He regularly appears on national television and was recently appointed by the country's government as a tourism ambassador. Earlier this year the Lithuanian Tourism Office in the UK made Martynas an official Tourism Ambassador for Lithuania.
"Music to me is a never-ending journey," comments Martynas, "a journey to different countries, continents and sometimes even different planets. Most importantly it is a journey in time, revealing exciting discoveries of contrasting musical styles and genres in which I feel free and which I adore. The accordion is an irreplaceable companion on all of my journeys. Just like me, it's modern, youthful, mysterious and very bohemian – we're a perfect match!"

I teach Conceptual, Academic, Honors, and AP Physics, and an Algebra Test Prep course for students that failed the state exam (Keystone Exam). I have a lot of other products in my store since I am always helping other teachers. My non-physics products mostly target a single math standard or skill. I attend a lot of national conferences (AAPT, NSTA, NCMT, & NECC), do multiweek summer programs, and am a reader for the AP Physics B Exam.
Effective ;) lol
I'm not sure if it fits this category.....but I was honored to be selected for these elite programs:
* a RET (research experience for teachers) program at Cornell Univ. for 6 weeks in '08
* the Dept of Energy's ACTS (Academy Creating Teacher Scientists) at Princeton Plasma Physics Lab for 7 weeks each summer in '09 & '10
* the national Quarknet program focusing on particle physics
* Invitation and full funding to attend the annual Teacher Workshop at the Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara in '12, '13, & '14
* RET Program at Baylor University for 7 weeks each summer in '12, '13, & '14

I don't think there are a lot of physics teachers here at TpT, my other items sell much better. I've made cute borders, a lot of math test prep items, and other random things. If physics sales ever pick up, I'll clean up more of my stuff for posting. Pretty much EVERYTHING I use in my class is something I made myself.

java.lang.ClassFormatError when unloading rulesdgalley Nov 16, 2011 12:03 PM
I downloaded version 1.6.0 of byteman and tried to follow some of the steps from the byteman tutorial at http://community.jboss.org/wiki/ABytemanTutorial but ran into a couple of issues
1. I had some weblogic server processes running on our linux machines and I wanted to start an agent using the bmsubmit script. I ran the bminstall script with the pid of the weblogic server as the port:
./bminstall.sh 8249 ( 8249 is the pid of the weblogic server process)
I expected this command to start a agent listener but the command would just sit there and do nothing. I checked the weblogic server logs and there was nothing in it. In the tutorial, it was stated that bminstall might work with JRockit JVM but apparently it is not working.
2. With no success using bminstall, I had to fall back to the hard way and add -javaagent option to my weblogic server and bounce it.
( I noticed that if port option is used with out setting the listener option to true, it was not starting a listener. Documentation says that setting a value to the port implicitly sets the listener to true but I didn't see that happen)
Using netstat command, I verified that the listener was started.
I then wrote a simple byteman script that throws an exception in one of the methods and submitted using the bmsubmit command:
bmsubmit.sh -p 8904 -l throw.btm
This command worked fine. My code starting throwing exceptions at the specified location in the btm.
Next, I attempted to unload the files using -u option:
bmsubmit.sh -p 8904 -u throw.btm
This command caused the server process to throw an error which was captured in the weblogic logs:
exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.ClassFormatError
at sun.instrument.InstrumentationImpl.retransformClasses0(Native Method)
at sun.instrument.InstrumentationImpl.retransformClasses(InstrumentationImpl.java:124)
at org.jboss.byteman.agent.Retransformer.removeScripts(Retransformer.java:292)

at org.jboss.byteman.agent.TransformListener.handleConnection(TransformListener.java:215)
at org.jboss.byteman.agent.TransformListener.run(TransformListener.java:146)
I would appreciate if you can look into this issue. I am very excited about using byteman for putting our code through various exception scenarios. It would a great tool for such kind of testing.

Spring makeup brings out the rosy glow that winter takes away
Spring makeup brings out the rosy glow that winter takes away
The beach is months away and your face is showing the distance. Pasty, dry winter skin cries out for a glow and achieving the luminous bloom of spring is possible with expert tips and the right products.
Go for the glow
Kimara Ahnert, of the Kimara Ahnert Makeup Studio in New York City, says to begin the glow regimen with a skincare masque to hydrate dull, dehydrated winter skin. "It stimulates the skin, bringing a natural, healthy glow that will enhance the look of any makeup product," she says. Richard Class, makeup artist at bluemercury in Lincoln Park, Ill., favors tinted moisturizer as foundation and suggests going a shade darker than your natural complexion to add warmth.
Bronzer is essential
Cover Girl Celebrity Makeup Artist Molly R. Stern suggests applying a light dusting of bronzer where the sun would naturally hit the face – cheek bones, bridge of nose, forehead and chin. Stay away from terracotta orange bronzers of the past and opt for more natural brown tones. Ahnert also likes illuminators in cream or powder form that add glow to the skin on tops of cheekbones and on the forehead.
Don't be obvious
Class favors the look of rosy pink blush worn under bronzer. "It gives the illusion of a burn," he says, mimicking an afternoon spent in the sun. His vision for spring calls for flawless, porcelain skin and a glowy, almost doll-like look. He says the obvious makeup look is gone: Think Reese Witherspoon, not Dita Von Teese.
Eyes should shimmer
Eyes for spring are awash in light, luminescent finishes, not heavy liner and dark shadows. Ahnert suggests neutral shades like copper, gold or champagne lit with sparkle to flatter all skin tones and ages. Adding a touch of shine to the eyes' inner corners via an almost-white, shimmery powder or cream will make them pop, she says. Class also favors a bare-eyed look, with minimal shadow and a coat of mascara, to allow glowing skin to take center stage.
Brush your lips
Let your toothbrush get lips started for spring. A gentle brush exfoliates dry lips and gives a plumping effect, Ahnert says. She likes glossy lips but opts for a lipstick formula: "The color is richer, smoother and lasts longer." A bit of neutral shimmery eye shadow drawn very subtly over the top lip can accentuate the shape, she says. Using a pearly gloss dabbed just in the center of the lip makes them look fuller, too.
Spring's flush of colors
Glowing, soft and feminine are all buzzwords for the face of spring 2009. Here are the colors that will get you there.
Gold: Even though the economy is poor, eyes are rich with the soft, luminous glow of this neutral. Packed in everything from eye shadow to lip gloss, it runs the gamut from almost-copper to champagne.
Pink: The shade of just-kissed skin is the ideal, as pink becomes rosy for spring. This baby-soft tone is just a whisper on the skin, a flush of color on cheeks and lips, not a stripe or contour.
Peach: Dewy, luminous skin is the perfect counterpart to the coral-fused peaches this spring. This barely-there shade creates a ripe, luscious cheek to compliment rosy lips. In more salmon tones, it's perfect for an evening lip color.
Lilac: While purples and plums have dominated the winter, lilting lilac wafts in for spring, bringing a pop of color to eyes without making them too heavy. Pair with white eyeliner to enhance spring's baby-doll face.
