Stephen O'Donnell laments Scotland's lack of a clinical touch as Israel take 1-0 win in Nations League decider

Scotland defender Stephen O'Donnell.
Stephen O'Donnell felt Scotland were punished against Israel for not being clinical in front of goal.
The defeat in Netanya, courtesy of Manor Solomon's first-half goal, means Scotland miss out on promotion from Nations League B after Czech Republic beat Slovakia.
Failing to find the net against the Israelis and in Trnava on Sunday ultimately saw Scotland relinquish top spot in the group at the death.
O'Donnell said: "It's similar to the game against Slovakia. A good performance, plenty of chances but at this level — at most levels — if you don't take your chances you get punished and that's what happened in the game.
"I think going off the back of the Serbia game was a massive achievement for the squad. We would have liked to have followed that up with victories but the positives to take away from it are the good performances but if you don't take your chances you are going to get punished."
The camp, overall, will be remembered for Scotland ending their wait to qualify for a major tournament. The victory over Serbia on penalties last week ensured they will be part of the delayed European Championships next year.
O'Donnell added: "Of course, I don't think that was the mindset but if you had asked me if I'd rather qualify for a tournament I'd have said yes.
"But to get higher and into the second pot of the qualifiers we need to be coming here and winning and hopefully when we meet up in March we will be competing for at worst a play-off place."

Yosemite workers rush to ready park for fast-rising floodwaters

Park personnel remove road signs and markers to keep them from floating away in the event the Merced River floods the valley floor in Yosemite National Park, Ca., as seen on Saturday Jan. 7, 2017, as heavy rain begins to falls on the park.

The waters of the Merced River began to rise early Saturday as a hard rain fell in the hauntingly empty Yosemite National Park, where workers scrambled to secure equipment and batten down the hatches in expectation of the worst storm and flooding in two decades.
The snow was melting fast, and water was puddling ominously on Yosemite roads Saturday morning, forcing park workers to rush around collecting pylons, traffic cones and anything else not bolted to the ground.
"We're picking up everything that's potentially going to float away," said one soaked worker as he drove around in a National Park Service pickup truck, its lights flashing as warm rain pattered down.
As Yosemite officials prepared for monsoon-like rains, 385 tourists and campers were evacuated from hotels and campgrounds Friday. The storm, dubbed a Pineapple Express because of the warm air moving in from the Pacific Ocean, is expected to cause the river to rise 7 feet or more above flood stage by 10 a.m. Sunday.
Red Cross shelters have been set up outside the park.
"We've been planning this for several days and our plans are in place," said park spokesman Scott Gediman.
Several hundred concessionaires and park employees remained in the valley Saturday, despite an order for all nonessential workers to clear out. Some were beginning to regret their decision as the day wore on.
"I'm definitely worried. This is incredible," Stephanie Saavedra, a night auditor for Yosemite concessionaire Aramark, said as she stood in the driving rain at Sentinel Bridge, watching both the swelling Merced and the spectacular white cascade of Yosemite Falls.
"I thought about leaving, but my family is in Palo Alto, which is quite a drive, and I had a fake sense of security because it didn't rain yesterday," said Saavedra, who lives at Highland Court, employee housing that wasn't evacuated because it sits on high ground. "I was told by the other employees that we're not really in trouble until Upper Yosemite Falls begins to shoot straight out."
The signature falls, which drop thousands of feet, was not shooting out Saturday, but it was definitely widening its arc. The pool below the falls was brimming even before the heaviest part of the storm had hit Saturday.
Meanwhile, white rivulets of water, where waterfalls never were before, streamed down from a thousand places on the 3,000-foot-tall granite cliffs surrounding the boxed-in valley. Some snaked sideways along cracks, and others leaped off precipices, spraying into the abyss, in a rare and, given the circumstances, somewhat frightening display of waterworks.
Down in the valley, what was brilliant white snow Friday had turned into transparent, fast-melting slush by Saturday afternoon.
The Upper and Lower Pines campgrounds will be the first to flood, if the situation unfolds as it did in 1997, when what was known as the "storm of the century" blasted Yosemite on New Year's Day, causing the worst flood in more than 40 years.
Legend has it the Indians who lived in the valley before Europeans arrived called such a flood a "cleansing of the valley."
The river peaked at about 23 feet that year — flood stage is 10 feet — taking out power lines and sewers and washing out bridges and roads, leaving 1,400 employees and 875 visitors trapped for more than two days. The park, which sustained $176 million in damage, remained closed until March that year.
The flood helped inspire the Merced Wild and Scenic River Plan, which called for the removal of riverside development, including campgrounds, and the shoring up of roads.
On Saturday afternoon, a lone coyote loped across a road and nosed around a meadow below Yosemite Falls, searching, perhaps, for a safe place as the river continued its inexorable rise. Everyone else who remained was on high alert, preparing as best they could for the worst.
"This is definitely a rare experience," Saavedra said as she rushed back to her car, water splattering off her umbrella.

The Eagles were World Cup winners, but arrived in the United States to the harsh reality that most were not aware of their spectacular performances over in Wales. That was a battle to be fought at a later date, however, as there was a title to defend not three years on the horizon. The coaching staff of Chris Leach and Kevin O'Brien made way for a team featuring longtime coach and educator Emil Signes before Frenchman Franck Boivert, head coach at Stanford University - and previously of University of California, Los Angeles - signed on to lead the team through the '94 World Cup in 1993.
Boivert, a leading mentor of the game out west, and the Eagles were thrown into the fire pit at the '93 Canada Cup. A one-off Can-Am match in 1991 with the previous coaching staff resulted in a 13-12 victory for the U.S., but the Canada Cup - held 10 months from kickoff in Scotland - offered a Final rematch for the Eagles in a first-up matchup with England. Without much time to implement Boivert's style of play, the Eagles lost their advantage over the Roses, 17-6.
"The messaging I was using was totally different than what they were using in the east, and the way I was coaching was pretty different than what was done previously," Boivert recalled. "The players I had with the Grizzlies (select side) had no problem adapting because they knew my approach, but it took other players a bit of time to adhere to the new way of playing."
England had no answer for the Eagles' skill set in the forwards and backs when they were in possession, but even minimal turnover through 1993 highlighted a weakness to be exposed: the scrum.
"The main difference in that game was the scrum - purely a technical area we could not compete with," Boivert said. "My assistant coach, Joe Kelly, was a fantastic prop and knowledgeable, but the competition structure [in the United States] did not allow our props to develop properly to go to the next step internationally."
The opening loss was the only defeat for the Eagles in the tournament. Wales was shut out while host Canada conceded 60 points against its border rival in a fifth consecutive losing result. The forward pack was mobile and strong and the backs were deadly accurate with ball in hand, and began to institute Boivert's philosophy. It did not come without a price, however, though it did give the players in camp - there was a b-side competition, as well - and Eagle hopefuls reason to increase their training intensity in the final months of the World Cup cycle.
"When they got it, then everyone was very happy with it and the results show."

Family pressure, substance abuse and mental disabilities, that's what attorney for convicted killer Anthony Garcia are saying should keep him off death row in the second day of his sentencing hearing.
Psychologist Kirk Newring testified that Garcia dealt with mental stress and drug and alcohol abuse when he committed the four murders in 2008 and 2013.
Newring says during and after Garcia's medical residencies he was getting more aggressive and his depression and alcoholism increased. One doctor at his residency in New York even suggested he get a mental evaluation.
For the second day in a row, Garcia slept through a majority of the hearing in a wheelchair.

Paccar profit falls 12% to miss estimates
Published: Jan. 29, 2016 at 10:09 a.m. ET
Joshua Jamerson
Paccar Inc. on Friday reported that profit skidded 12% in its fourth quarter, missing Wall Street expectations, as sales also slid.
The truck manufacturer said the results reflected lower truck deliveries in North America, partially offset by a modest increase in deliveries in Europe.
Overall orders for heavy-duty trucks in North America fell 36% from a year ago, market forecaster ACT Research said earlier this month. Investment bank Avondale Partners said at the time that it remains "concerned that recent order and build levels have been far too high to be sustainable." Paccar had mostly benefited in recent quarters from a stronger economy, strong freight tonnage and lower fuel prices after years of sluggish demand.
But truck revenue declined in the fourth quarter as sales slumped 20% in the U.S. and Canada. In Europe, sales climbed 2.5%.
Overall for the quarter, Paccar reported net income of $347.2 million, or 98 cents a share, down from $394.3 million, or $1.11 a share, a year ago. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected earnings of $1.02 a share.
Trucks, parts and other revenue slipped 16% to $4.06 billion. Total revenue, which includes the company's financing arm, also fell by 15%, to $4.36 billion. Analysts expected revenue of $4.26 billion.
Shares, down 27% in the past 12 months, fell 1.1% in early trading.

Fostered in the spirit of the historic, and breathtakingly beautiful Yosemite, the world's most magnificent national park and one of America's premiere natural wonders, the Yosemite International Film Festival awards and bestows recognition for some of the world's finest and most visionary independent films and screenplays made by many of the leading contemporary artists and creative minds working in cinema and screenwriting today.
Founded by environmentally-aware, eco-friendly filmmakers, our mission is to recognize and award progressive, eye-opening, independent cinema and writing of all genres and to foster an appreciation and understanding toward the preservation and majesty of our natural world.
Each year, the Yosemite International Film Festival recognizes excellence in filmmaking in several competition categories with the prestigious Yosemite Film Awards. The Official Jury will award deserving films, filmmakers, and writers in the following categories: Best Picture, Screenplay, Directing, Actor, Actress, Art Design, Cinematography, Editing, Animation, Short Films, Feature Narratives, Documentaries, Foreign Films, Music Videos, Experimental Films, First-Time Directors, Environmental Films, and Student Films. In addition, Special Jury Prizes will be awarded to several standout films and screenplays at the discretion of the Jury.
The Yosemite International Film Festival is a non-traditional film festival and awards competition created as a platform to provide worthy films and filmmakers with recognition for their filmmaking and screenwriting achievements. As of our 2011 event, we have transitioned from a traditional live film festival held each year in Yosemite Valley, to an annual online awards competition. Films are not screened for the public. Once the Judges have concluded the judging process, winners are announced publicly on our official website and through various promotional channels targeting the film and entertainment industry.
The Yosemite Film Festival, as it has in years past, and at its sole discretion, may also opt to hold a formal awards ceremony in Yosemite where winners receive awards in person at a formal dinner and award ceremony. The Festival kindly asks that any awards won be mentioned in the projects' promotional materials, although it is not a requirement.
The Yosemite Film Festival proudly supports the craft of screenwriting by discovering and recognizing important new talent through our annual Screenplay Competition. Top screenplays in several genres and categories, including feature and short length narrative scripts, specs scripts, and television pilots are recognized based on originality, form, and overall quality of work.

The Accommodations of Desire
Across Centuries & Cultures
The Accommodations of Desire, 1929. Salvador Dalí. Oil and cut-and-pasted printed paper on wood. Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection, 1998. © 2020 Salvador Dalí, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Artists Rights Society.
The Spanish-born artist Salvador Dalí was officially allied with Surrealism from 1929 to 1941, and even afterward his work continued to reflect the influence of Surrealist thought and methodology. His flamboyance, flair for drama and self-promotion, and hyperactive imagination reinvigorated the movement and its public popularity. Dalí, who was given to hallucinations and paranoiac visions, cultivated these outrageous subjects for his paintings, rendering them so meticulously that they were unsettling in their clinical matter-of-factness. Such pictures exemplified the Surrealist preoccupation with dreams and the unconscious.
Painted in the summer of 1929, The Accommodations of Desire is a small gem that deals with Dalí's sexual anxieties over a love affair with an older, married woman. The woman, Gala, then the wife of the Surrealist poet Paul Éluard, became Dalí's life-long muse and mate. In this picture, which Dalí painted after taking a walk alone with Gala, he included seven enlarged pebbles on which he envisioned what lay ahead for him: "terrorizing" lions' heads (not so "accommodating" to his "desires" as the title of the painting facetiously suggests), as well as a toupee and a colony of ants (a symbol of decay). Also depicted are various vessels (one in the shape of a woman's head) and three figures embracing on a platform. Dalí did not paint the lion heads but, rather, cut them out from what must have been an illustrated children's book, slyly matching the latter's detailed style with his own. These collaged elements are virtually indistinguishable from the super-saturated color and painstaking realism of the rest of the composition, startling the viewer into questioning the existence of the phenomena recorded and of the representation as a whole.

Interview: In Conversation with Bisi Silva on J. D. 'Okhai Ojeikere Crowd-funded Monograph
in News Articles 2013
ARTsouthAFRICA in conversation with Bisi Silva on producing an ambitious monograph on the Nigerian photographer J. D. 'Okhai Ojeikere (1930-2014) for the Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA) Lagos, and using Kickstarter to fund it.
ABOVE: J.D. Ojeikere's extensive monologue and Bisi Silva.
J.D. 'Okhai Ojeikere captures moments of history that portray his country in good faith. How has Ojeikere's work influenced the trajectory of photography in West Africa and that of Nigeria?
J. D. 'Okhai Ojeikere definitely wanted to capture an important moment in the history of Nigeria the way he saw it and experienced it. The bodies of work that he is best known for are his 'Hairstyle' and 'Headgear' series. However he also documented other aspects of Nigerian spaces and Nigerian life, including architecture; his portraits at the University of Ibadan, and his work as the chief photographer at the first television station in Africa WNTV(Western Nigerian Television), founded in 1959.
West Africans, and other Africans in general, appreciate his work because he documented traditional hairstyles in a way that goes beyond an anthropological necessity. His images captured the hairstyles in an artistic way unparalleled by his peers, whose principal work at the time was studio portraiture and to some extent street photography. Ojeikere was not commissioned to create the Hairstyles series. Rather, it was a project born from artistic license to capture beautifully a part of our cultural heritage that was disappearing due to the influx of new and foreign styles and influences.
He is revered in Nigeria, where his work has enormously influenced a younger generation of photographers to push the boundaries of the artistic limit of photography. Many have reinterpreted or presented the headgear in innovative new ways that pay homage to the work Ojeikere created over 40 years ago.
Why do you think it was important to create a memoir of Ojeikere's work?
The development of a history of photography in Nigeria is still in the embryonic stages, with few if any critical monographs on individual photographers. The few that exist have been written from outside of the continent. The publication J. D. 'Okhai Ojeikere is fortunate to have benefitted from the full engagement and collaboration of the photographer, giving it the contextualization and criticality that many projects on older African artists sometimes lack. However, one of the main reasons was to highlight the diversity, depth and longevity of his practice beyond the 'Hairstyles' series. The publication highlights the interrelation between his architecture, hairstyles and headgear photography. In tracing the years before 'Hairstyles,' we have a deeper understanding of his trajectory and the local context that engendered such work.
Many African people can relate to the narratives reflected in Ojeikere's work. Does the work mirror the society from which it sprang, or is it more global in conception?
It is both. I believe that a successful practice can talk about the society from which it comes from, while also speaking to a wider audience.
Is there anything from your curatorial background that prepared you to curate a memoire such as this?
I worked with Ojeikere for five years from 2009 to 2014, and I spent a considerable amount of time in his company, going through his archive and having long conversations about the work and that time. He was extremely generous with his time and proffered the necessary information and understanding of his work. From a curatorial perspective, in 2010 I started working on a small exhibition focusing on the "Sartorial Moments and the Nearness of Yesterday," showing over 30 images that were being presented to the public for the first time. It also travelled to Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco in 2013. It was followed by the most comprehensive exhibition of his work to date, 'J. D. 'Okhai Ojeikere: Moments of Beauty' (in 2012) at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki. The current publication builds on these previous curatorial engagements.
There were obviously financial difficulties in producing the book. Why did you decide to use Kickstarter to fund the project?
Yes, producing a book of this nature involves a heavy financial investment and working with major publishers was proving difficult. After shelving the project for nearly two years, a friend encouraged me to publish independently and I took on the challenge. Using kickstarter to fund part of the project helped make the project realizable, it offered the freedom of not being dictated to by the art market on what can or cannot be published about art from Africa. The experience we are faced with is that almost all art books published in the West about African Art have had no distribution across Africa and we definitely wanted to prioritise the local and continental readership base.
To achieve this, we had to be creative in our fundraising, and this included Kickstarter. The funding from Kickstarter only covered about a third of the costs- we did not want to make the Kickstarter goal too high, because it is an all-or-nothing funding system. We felt our initial goal was realistic and any amount above the set sum would be a bonus for our efforts. Although Kickstarter was challenging, it was enjoyable and most importantly we were able to reach audiences that we may not ordinarily have reached without it. We had supporters from unlikely places like Thailand and Saudia Arabia and it was really heartwarming to know that someone in Thailand has the publication through their support of our project.
You received such an overwhelming response to the project – what does this tell you about the audience for Ojeikere's work? Did you expect such a reaction?
The response has been incredible, but we know his work is highly appreciated and that many people who knew, supported and encouraged the work of CCA, Lagos would understand our vision and our purpose to bring the work of African artists to the broader public and art communities.
What is your personal assessment of the West African art world?
There is a vibrancy and a dynamism that exists, which almost borders on a sense of urgency. It belies the infrastructural challenges that we experience daily and the lack of governmental support that seems to have a quixotic view of art and culture out of sync with 21st century realities.
How does the African contemporary art establishment position itself to emerge as a 'global player' whose voice can be heard and respected?
First of all, it needs to appreciate and value itself by developing local and regional infrastructure. It also needs to be more reflexive about its activities. The dependence on the North is suffocating and people fail to realize the truth of "if you build it, they will come." We need to develop possibilities here before we can emerge as real 'global' players and I believe that, with the proliferation of new spaces, organisations and collectives across the region and the continent, projecting our own voices is an important beginning.
West Africa, for example, is extremely fortunate to have the two major international events taking place here- the Dakar Biennale of Contemporary Art in Senegal and the Bamako Encounters of Photography in Mali. These two events have been indispensable platforms in the development of the careers of many artists from Africa, continent- wide, as well as being an international meeting and exchange place.
What is next for you and CCA Lagos?
I was recently appointed Artistic Director of the 10th Bamako Encounters:African Biennale of Photography. I am extremely excited about this possibility especially at this landmark juncture in the history of this event.
With regards to CCA, Lagos, we want to focus more on our core purpose, research and publication, and engage the printed page as a curatorial platform.

The secured fusion ties the weapon to a single owner. When you use your weapon, it functions normally, but when wielded by any other, it remains inert and useless. Any analog, nonmagical properties of the weapon that do not require ammunition or charges still function, so a club would still be a club, but a pistol becomes merely an improvised weapon. Only the person who places a secured fusion seal on a weapon can remove it from that weapon. Once removed, the fusion seal can be affixed to a new weapon by a new owner. Even if not the owner, a character trained in Mysticism can remove an installed secured fusion or fusion seal using a process similar to transferring a fusion. For a fusion, this costs half as much as purchasing the fusion for the weapon on which it is currently installed; for a seal, this is half the cost of the seal itself. The process takes 8 hours. Afterward, a fusion can be installed on a new weapon and assigned a new owner for the installation cost, and a fusion seal can be used normally.

Facebook's Election Fact Checker Honored Biden In 2017, Employees Donated EXCLUSIVELY to Democrats in 2020
by Natalie Winters
The so-called 'Bipartisan Policy Center' – the organization spearheading Facebook's "voting information center" – honored Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden with awards, and counts every single penny spent by its employees on the 2020 presidential election in support of the former veep.
In addition, the group – which features Biden quotes on its homepage – has strong financial ties to the 'NeverTrump' movement. Its Board of Directors also includes two individuals who stood in the Democratic Party primaries in 2020.
Facebook's voter information page attempts to dispel fears over election fraud and bolster Democrat-pushed narratives such as expecting delays with election results, featuring claims such as "it's a common strategy for adversaries to try to make voting systems appear vulnerable as an attempt to shake people's confidence in the election process."
Facebook attempts to discredit these claims by exclusively citing the Bipartisan Policy Center. And frequently, following the center's guidelines, content from conservative outlets such as The National Pulse has been censored or scrubbed from the platform.
The Facebook flag – even used to censor President Trump's content – links to a Facebook page citing the Bipartisan Policy Center.
BIDEN BACKERS.
Despite the group's self-selected "bipartisan" label, Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show that every penny directed to the 2020 presidential election went to Democratic candidate Joe Biden. Between 11 individuals who list the center as their employer on the FEC database, the 28 donations amount to $12,314.50 sent to Biden's presidential campaign.
FEC Donor Records.
In contrast, zero dollars was sent to the campaign of President Trump.
And of the group's total 608 total donations to federal campaigns, virtually all have gone to Democrats. A trace amount has gone to support establishment Republican candidates such as John McCain and Cory Gardner.
BIDEN BUDS.
In addition to supporting the candidate financially, the center also awarded Joe Biden its 2017 Congressional Patriot Award, which "recognizes leaders who demonstrate political courage and exceptional leadership throughout their careers."
While speaking at the group's 10th-anniversary celebration, its president extolled Biden's "remarkable energy, passion, and unyielding determination," insisting the Bipartisan Policy Center "honors his example and expresses deep gratitude for his distinguished service":
"It is a great honor to be joined by Joe Biden. Throughout his career, Vice President Biden has devoted his remarkable energy, passion, and unyielding determination to helping people. Joe Biden's unrivaled authenticity and political courage has helped lead our nation through tumultuous times. BPC honors his example and expresses deep gratitude for his distinguished service."
Greeted by an abundance of applause and cheers, Biden addressed the group – which he praised as "doing a heck of a job" – in 2017.
He insisted the award was especially meaningful as it came from "people who really knew him":
"Those of you know that the most meaningful compliments or awards or nice gestures that you receive mean the most when they come from people who really know you."
It's no surprise, therefore, the group prominently displays quotes from Joe Biden on its homepage.
The quote – "candor generates trust. Trust is the basis on which real change, constructive change is made"– comes from Biden speaking to Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping in 2013.

NEVER TRUMPERS.
What's more, the group is dubbed as a "center-left think tank."
Among its leadership, five top executives have worked for Democratic representatives or can be linked to left-leaning causes, while just one previously worked Republican officials.
The group counts funding from the left-wing group Democracy Fund, founded by Pierre Omidyar. Omidyar is a mainstay in the "Never Trump" movement, donating millions of dollars to establishment Republican groups keen on taking down President Trump.
The Bipartisan Policy Center's Board of Directors also includes two individuals who ran in the 2020 Democratic primary: John Delaney and Julian Castro. Never Trumper Michael Steele also sits on the board.

The Social Revolution Changing The Interface of Your Favorite Platforms
vtd_admin
We come across numerous updates across the internet on various tech related subjects. Since Google and Social Commerce are our main areas of concern, we should always have the latest updates on the same. Take Google for example. If you are not aware of the copyright issues on website; then please go through Pirate #2.0 on Google. You would get a clear idea on what Google intends to do. Here is a brief description of the different updates on platforms like Instagram, Google, Uber, twitter, facebook.
Instagram: Has your instagram account feed been organized from oldest-newest feed order. If you are accustomed with that approach, then there would be a significant change since your posts would be displayed according to the preference of Instagram. Moments will now get priority over everything according to the programmers working on Instagram. Who does not want the best to be showcased? The feed – 'ordered to show the moments we believe you will care about the most' will be introduced in the coming months.
Google: Google has one of the most dynamic algorithms and keeps on making minor changes every now and then. The last update was made in the month of May 2016, 21st to be more precise. This algorithm boosted the rankings of mobile friendly sites on mobile search.
Uber: Uber has introduced a new booking platform through e-commerce platforms. This feature will only be available in India though. It has to be seen whether these features are introduced in foreign countries.
Twitter: The initial 160 character length was shortened to 140 characters. The unique 140 character set became the signature of Twitter. However, the company is now planning to expand the character limit to 10,000 characters. To avoid cluttering, Twitter is planning not to display the full character set. They will only display the first 140 characters with an option to expand it to view the full post.
Facebook: From the black and white approach of a Like or Dislike button, Facebook has extended it to Emojis to express your feelings like love, tears, laughter, anger etc. Mark Zuckerberg feels that human emotions have a major role to play on social platforms. Today, social networking is more of emotional networking between individuals from different cultural, economic and financial background.

The Champions Division (formally known as the Challenger Division of Temecula Valley Little League) provides every child regardless of special needs the opportunity to participate in America's favorite pastime. The Champions Division gives Temecula's mentally and physically challenged youth a place on the baseball field, where they can participate in an athletic environment at their level of comfort and ability. More than the skills of baseball learned through experience, the value of the Champions Division is to provide an environment that enhances the participants' self esteem and physical mobility and embodies the spirit of teamwork and community.
Champions teams are organized primarily by players' grade in school and school of attendance in order to maintain a recognized social environment. During registration you will have the opportunity to pass along special requests which the Player Agent will take into consideration during team development. Such requests may include placing players on a team with friends, with a requested coach, or up/down a division to reflect ability level. We will do our best to accommodate all requests, however, being able to balance all teams is important to our success. Therefore, circumstances may prevent us from fulfilling all requests. Players who are registered after the registration cutoff will be placed on teams as recommended by the Player Agent based on the current status of our roster.
The Champions Division have games every Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. starting in March at Ronald Reagan Sports park and ending in May. In addition, our managers have a weekly practices at Temeku Hills Park. The practices are not mandatory to play in our league however they are highly encouraged.
Every game is accompanied by a group of "buddies". These buddies span from our High School baseball programs, travel ball programs and local youth programs such as TYB. Your role as a buddy involves being a friend, cheerleader, coach, and helper, but, above all, you must be a protector. For more information, please read the following: 'Buddy Program - How to be successful'.

Anyway... he's doing really well, and his spoken vocabulary and idea space really has the teacher jazzed about him. So that's to the good.
The amusing thing is that I wore my tie dyed socks (which immediately had both heels blown out as I'd dyed OLD socks...oops.. I'll have to jazz 'em up more with heel patches or something).
When the teacher teacher noticed that I had tie-dyed socks. Jet got all excited, pulled down the front of his pants and said, "LOOK! I'm wearing tie-dyed underwear!!"
but, yeah, the impulse is hard to resist.
Heh, that's what we all did, too.
You have the best parent-teacher conferences!
*giggles* Jet is so cute and cool.
*giggles* He's such a boy. Dunno about cool. but definitely cute.
Oh yes! That's a classic.
What do you think is the cause of your problems with spelling?
Why do you think other subjects such as math and physics were/are not as much of a problem?
Suppose the criteria for college entrance were changed to include things like a spelling test. Assuming you still wanted to go to Caltech, study engineering, etc., what would you have done to improve your spelling? Do you think you could have done that without sacrificing anything else that you are good at?
FWIW, I have BS and MS degrees, but I never considered myself in the same league as you. No one would ever base any character in a movie like Real Genius on me, for example.
Oh, the same reason Jet has problems with spelling, both of us treat it as a rules-based problem or a "sound it out" problem rather than a straight visual memorization problem.
I'm actually getting much better at spelling since I figure out it was a visualization memorization problem, and now I have quite a few more words memorized rather than trying to 'sound them out' or apply rules that don't work most of the time.
Math and physics, especially at Tech, weren't memorization, they were the understanding of base principles and applying them. And in math and physics, once one understands how and why, the effects can be applied consistently across all fields of thought. That's the beauty of those sciences.
The spelling of English is anything but consistent.
As to the last question, I actually got a 800 on the Verbal part of the SAT, and it included a lot of word recognition. I studied Latin roots and other things, Greek, and bits of the other languages English derives from and that actually helped a lot of my vocabulary needs. Though, like Jet, I didn't actually lack in vocabulary and the underlying mental ability to use the conceptual reach a larger vocabulary gives most people. I just couldn't write it down from scratch. So the SAT's and AP's multiple-choice format worked quite well, but the essay part of the English AP got a little messy in that the ideas I presented intrigued the tester, but my spelling... well... I still got the 5, but got some interesting comments.
Hmmm ... why did you think spelling was not a (visual) memorization problem?
When you were a child, did you have spelling tests in school? I did, but I wouldn't say that I made an explicit attempt to remember how to spell certain words. If anything, I remembered the words from things I'd read.
I think two different things. One was that I lean towards rule-based systems, conceptual things.
The other was that nearly everyone says, "Just sound it out!!"
When I read, oddly enough, things like spelling and punctuation go through. I don't notice the details that much at all. Again.. I head for the concepts not the specifics. Just general disposition, I guess.
Did your parents know about your difficulties in spelling, and if so, did they discuss with your teachers how you might improve?
Did you know any people who were really good at spelling, and if so, did you wonder how they were able to be good at it?
To get an idea of the intent of my queries, I'm trying to understand the nature of the highly talented mind – how the talented learn and retain information; how they may have been influenced by early exposure; for things which they don't receive early exposure, do they struggle in similar ways to people who may not be considered talented. In particular I'm interested in how this affects people who pursue careers in the sciences and engineering, when they show promise but do not do as well (academically) as some other students. For example, if you take a look at this CollegeConfidential thread on a struggling student, you'll see an example of someone who arguably showed promise before getting into a top college, but is now struggling. Arguably, he is taking on too many things, but there are some people I've heard of who can take 7-8 challenging science and/or engineering courses, participate in some extracurriculars, and still maintain high GPAs. These people tend to be sought after by employers and startup investors, whereas others have more difficulty, and are more at risk to layoffs, etc.
The link in the previous paragraph refers to another CC thread on how people learn and process information. The OP is frustrated because he's not doing well; he feels he must understand the underlying principles before he is able to do well in classes, but it's very time consuming. He does not understand how some of the more talented students are able to do well (and the talented students are unable to explain how they are able to do well). In your case, it seems as if you got some useful, early exposure to mathematical principles, etc. that helped you become a successful engineer, but you weren't told some things about spelling that would have enabled you to do it better. But you have not been hurt by lesser spelling ability in the same ways some of these kids are who struggle in college because they don't have stronger backgrounds in math, etc.
Actually, for spelling tests and stuff I had no problems. I could memorize anything I HAD to memorize for a day or two, and then forget it.
Jet has the same tendency. He does great on spelling tests; but doesn't do very well when writing, so it didn't and doesn't show up on spelling tests. And honestly, my parents didn't care about English or Literature scores other than how they might affect how I got into college. And that was back when parents really didn't talk with teachers that much. The helicopter syndrome wasn't nearly as bad, and they never thought much of it.
Also, amusingly enough, in elementary school I had an IQ test when I was probably a little too old for it and tested below the limit for the Mentally Gifted Minors program. Two of my teachers stood up for me and said that I should be in it anyway, so I was put in; but early on I was pretty much told I wasn't going to be "smart enough" for the program.
Always had that feeling as a kid, as my younger sister scored significantly higher than I did on the IQ tests, so she was "the smart one" in the family and I was "the nice one" in the family. So I just worked harder.
It kind of stood me in good stead because while I did score really high in high school, comparatively, it wasn't like I was the best in my high school. So when I got to Caltech, I wasn't at all shocked that I wasn't one of the best, whereas 90% of the kids that got in were the number one student in their school. And when, on the first physics quiz, ALL but one guy failed it (and that one guy went on to become a star physicist), it was nigh on suicide for most of the guys. So I didn't get hit as hard, emotionally, and kept a pretty even keel. It might not surprise you that I took 7 or 8 courses each quarter my freshman year, and fenced competitively.
Principles shouldn't be time consuming, if the teachers are teaching it that way. If the classes, however, are pointing towards memorization and just specific applications (as many of the UC school physics and calculus classes were), I could see how it would take a lot more time.
And I'm not sure how those students are deemed "more talented" or not?
Mmm... I don't think it was exposure so much as the simple fact that my mind like mathematics and the concepts implied. And I don't like exception-based systems, like spelling. I still don't do well at spelling, really, even knowing it's a visual memorization problem, I just don't care enough except when it comes to differentiating between words.
Jet has the same tendency. He does great on spelling tests; but doesn't do very well when writing, so it didn't and doesn't show up on spelling tests.
OK, I should have asked the question somewhat differently, like if it had somehow mattered how well you were able to spell, say, on a written test, how you would have gone about preparing for that, and what effect this would have had on other things you need (or like) to do. Another way of looking at this is there are only 24 hours in a day, and some of them require sleep – there are only so many hours available in which "effective" learning can take place.
And honestly, my parents didn't care about English or Literature scores other than how they might affect how I got into college. And that was back when parents really didn't talk with teachers that much. The helicopter syndrome wasn't nearly as bad, and they never thought much of it.
Hmmm ... you and I are about the same age. My parents regularly participated in parent-teacher conferences, etc. Friends of my parents and parents of my friends did likewise. I remember seeing the same parents regularly at lots of parent-teacher nights. (BTW, I grew up in NYC.) I asked a friend of mine who grew up in the SFBA whether her parents were involved in parent-teacher conferences and she said yes. Perhaps it's just a regional thing. Also, my parents went to most of the teachers, not just the math and science teachers, time permitting.
So I didn't get hit as hard, emotionally, and kept a pretty even keel. It might not surprise you that I took 7 or 8 courses each quarter my freshman year, and fenced competitively.
I didn't know too many people who did that when I was an undergrad. Most people took four or five classes. Among some MIT students, it seems to have become more commonplace now.
Well, I guess it depends on the way the principles are presented and what the applications are. The scope of responsibility a student might bear for a given class (in terms of being able to answer certain types of questions) can vary quite a lot, especially in "firehose" schools like Caltech and MIT. For example, a favorite question I like to ask people just to see if they can figure it out is which set is larger, the integers or the rational numbers, and why? The way the problem is solved is based on the principles of sets, but the technique is not generalizable to any set (e.g. reals).
It's really cool to be that innocent. Hee.

Record of the Week: Reign of Queen Elizabeth II
Tomorrow, Queen Elizabeth II will become the longest serving monarch in British history, supplanting her great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria, who reigned for 63 years 216 days.
After her uncle King Edward VIII abdicated, Elizabeth unexpectedly became second-in-line to the throne. The queen's reign began on February 6, 1952 when her father, King George VI, died. Elizabeth II's coronation took place on June 2, 1953 and was the first to be aired on television.
At the time of Her Majesty's accession, James Cardinal McGuigan was the Archbishop of Toronto. As the senior cardinal and ranking prelate of the Roman Catholic Church in Canada, His Eminence sent words of sympathy and acknowledgement to the new Queen of Canada. In the archives, we have the monarch's brief response, sent via telegraph:
Cardinal McGuigan finds, MGPO06.99
Telegram, 10 February 1952
"Buckingham Palace London
LTF Cardinal McGuigan Toronto
I am sincerels (sic) grateful for your kind message please assure all those for whom you speak that I deeply value their kindness and sympathy
Elizabeth R"
The queen signs official documents "Elizabeth R". The "R'' stands for regina, which is Latin for queen.
