Happy birthday to you. You look very good for your age. It was on this date 141 years ago that the world met you, when Joe Borden of the Philadelphia Athletics held the Chicago White Stockings hitless in a 4-0 win. Your first appearance in professional baseball. You were so cute back then, a neat novelty that seemed worth celebrating. Baseball fans have been in love with you ever since....
Half of the 111 infants enrolled were randomly assigned spots at an all-day high-quality center in North Carolina that offered a wide range of educational, health and social programs; the other half received extra social and nutritional support. After the age of 5, both groups attended public school. Throughout their school years, the day-care group had higher IQ scores, better language skills and higher academic achievement than the other group....
Despite the heated debate over affirmative action in admissions, many educators worry more about minority students after they get in. Minorities are twice as likely to drop out as whites, often due to a mix of academic and social issues. To head off problems, many schools host precollege prep sessions. Colgate’s five-week program has become a model because the school, which is 4 percent black, boasts the country’s highest black graduation rate (93 percent, compared with 89 percent for whites)....
Dangerous tires aren’t the only reason Firestone has found itself under the klieg lights of public scrutiny. A series of safety incidents at Firestone plants, some hardball labor tactics and its unrespon-siveness to the Clinton administration’s entreaties place Bridgestone–Firestone’s parent–in a category all its own for Reich. He told Newsweek that as Labor secretary he “dealt with no company that was as irresponsible as Bridgestone.’’ Now, questions about plant safety and labor relations are central to the current fire-storm surrounding Firestone, as lawyers suing the company assert that poor labor relations may have hurt quality....
Dole once backed a constitutional ban on abortion with no exceptions. He would now allow abortion in cases of rape and incest or to protect the mother’s life, and he recently said that abortion “shouldn’t be a dominant issue” in the ‘96 campaign. Strong free-trader in the Senate. “What does [the protectionist] Ross Perot say about the 700,000 American jobs that are now created because of exports to Mexico?” he asked in ‘93....
The children’s books are ostensibly the handiwork of Snicket, though somehow, his author photos inevitably fail to show his face. At readings and personal appearances, Snicket is “represented”-ahem-by Daniel Handler, 30, a native San Franciscan who under his own name has authored two comic novels for adults, “The Basic Eight” (1999), about a group of teenage murderers, and “Watch Your Mouth” (2000), which concerns incest. But his writings as Snicket have far outsold his more mature works-and have attracted a vast, cult-like readership....
Few Americans have spoken out as forcefully against the Nazis and their legacy as Ernestine Schlant Bradley, Ph.D., a leading scholar on European literature and a professor at Montclair State University in New Jersey. But Bradley the private person has spent most of her adult life trying to sort through the complicated emotions about her family and her native land.

Shweki is a Palestinian baker who lives in East Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood. A predominantly Muslim suburb around half a mile south of Jerusalem’s Wailing Wall and the walled Old City, Silwan has roughly 50,000 residents and feels more like a village than a city with its olive-tree lined dirt and gravel roads and hills stacked with small brick houses. Its necropolis is believed to be one of Israel’s most ancient cemeteries, and the City of David, believed to be the urban center of ancient Jerusalem, is located in Silwan’s Wadi Hilweh neighborhood....
If prison doesn’t kill him, it will certainly put a crimp in his practice. Since his first assisted suicide in an old Volkswagen van in 1990, Kevorkian had turned Michigan into a mecca for the terminally ill: by his own count, he sent more than 130 sick patients to their graves. Six times prosecutors had failed to make charges against him stick. But his Sept. 17 injection of Youk proved different: armed with a videotape of the death (aired in November on CBS’s “60 Minutes”), prosecutors dropped the traditional assisted-suicide charge, opting for straight murder....

This also helps create boundaries between your work life and home life. If you absolutely need to check your email outside of working hours, use a laptop or desktop computer. Look for a watch that also keeps track of the date to be able to check it without relying on your phone. Use an alarm clock to wake up on time rather than using your phone’s alarm. Alternatively, find clocks while you are out and about....
You should also get in the habit of dictating what you are writing on the chalkboard or whiteboard. This way students who are unable to see the board can still follow along with the material and take notes. For example, you could have students clap twice if they want to ask a question.

Drilling arpeggios (the first, third and fifth note of a chord, often also going up to the octave of the root) is a good way to start practicing bass and learn the fundamentals that go into strong, supportive bass lines. Start slow, and gradually up the tempo. With every note, you want only one string to ring out while you mute the other three. It takes a lot of practice to coordinate your hands properly to mute all the strings you’re not playing....

These different brands and the fact that they’re not all the same are mentioned because in essence, before determining how to get the files onto, and similarly, off of the player, you should know what kind of player you have, and a few things about it. Does it have internal memory? Is it a hard-drive based player? Is there software packaged with the device? You should find answers to all of these questions before proceeding....
