The Jackson County School District announced that it has been awarded a grant for $200,000 through the Google Inc. Charitable Giving Fund of the Tides Foundation.
Funds will be used for the continuation and expansion of the district's Alabama Math, Science and Technology Initiative (AMSTI), which provides essential training kits for teachers and hands-on science curriculum instruction for students in grades 4-8.
With Google's grant, the AMSTI Initiative is now fully funded throughout the Jackson County School District. According to Anthony Buckner, curriculum supervisor for the district, the AMSTI kits will help promote scientific inquiry and discovery, enabling more students – namely girls, minorities and poverty students – to pursue additional science studies and STEM-related careers.
"It is important for us to educate our students early so that they can take advantage of broadening industries in North Alabama that will need STEM-trained workers," said Buckner. "Google has generously helped to make advanced training through AMSTI a reality for our teachers and students, and we are truly grateful for their partnership."
"Nothing makes us more proud than to see students thriving in subjects we know are, and will continue to be, vital to the nation's workforce," said Brenda Standridge, hardware operations site manager at Google. "We look forward to following the progress of the Jackson County School District as they work to grow student interest and skill through AMSTI."

Cooper's Curious and Crafted Kite Company
Written by Red Idea Founder and CEO Ross Shell and published in June 2017, Cooper's Curious and Crafted Kite Company tells the story of nine-year-old Cooper and his start-up kite business.
During career day, Cooper meets a woman who owns her own business, which gives him an idea—he wants to start a company! With the help of his friends and family, Cooper's business is born. Along the way, he learns about entrepreneurship, innovation, and what it takes to run a business.
Cooper's Curious and Crafted Kite Company makes the complexities of entrepreneurship accessible for children. It encourages them to explore their ideas, pursue their passions, and work through their challenges. Shell created a twenty-four page, illustrated reminder that there's no age requirement on dreaming big.
Though recommended for ages 5-9, the book is a welcome reminder to older children and adults who may have forgotten the importance of pursuing their dreams.
The book is available online at cooperskites.com, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.

Balance bikes are absolutely the best thing for kids. Training wheels or stabilisers are actually more hazardous once the child has any degree of momentum.
BTW. The first balance bike I ever saw was an 'Islabike', did Isla Rowntree invent them.
Push-along bikes make learning to ride easier
Prices range from about £25 to £200
Key features: adjustable saddle height, comfortable saddle and grips, brakes on models for older kids
Models with footrests let kids learn to coast
In the last decade or so, balance bikes have revolutionised the way kids learn to ride. Steerable toy bikes with no pedals, the design of balance bikes harks back to the original boneshakers of the early 19th century; it makes sense for kids to learn to ride the way the first adult cyclists did, pushing a bike along the floor in the era before pedals. By allowing a child to learn to balance and steer a bike without the complication of pedalling, balance bikes make a child's first experiences with bikes simple and fun.
Balance bikes are available at a wide range of prices. Some basic models — usually for the very youngest kids — don't have brakes but these days most have a rear wheel brake so junior's trainers don't get worn out stopping.
Balance bikes don't have many features but the important thing to look for is adjustable saddle height. You've got to be able to adjust the position as your youngster grows, until he or she is ready to move on to a bike with pedals. Most balance bikes have adjustable seats, but there are one or two where the designer hasn't quite thought things through. Manufacturers usually give the range of saddle height adjustment so you can get the right bike for your child.
A correctly fitted balance bike allows the child to stand with his or her feet flat on the floor, and the youngster has to be able to get on and off easily. That means the saddle height should be a couple of centimetres less than the kid's inside leg measurement.
Beyond that, there's the usual price/quality trade-off you see with adult bikes. More expensive balance bikes are lighter, with aluminium frames instead of steel, and have better bearings in the hubs and headset. That probably won't make much difference over the year or two your child will have the bike, but helps keep up the resale value, and improves longevity if you're planning to pass it down to kids #2 and #3.
Balance bikes aren't the only way kids can learn two-wheeled balance. We've spoken to parents whose kids have gone straight from scooting to pedalling because their time on micro-scooters has equipped them with the right reflexes. Some kids just prefer scooters, and it's better to indulge any interest in being active than to try and indoctrinate them into cycling by forcing them to watch A Sunday In Hell over and over. If your kids love all sorts of wheeled toys there's no reason they can't have both, aside from your bank balance.
For very young toddlers who need a bit of help starting out, this balance bike from Micro Scooters can have a pair of skateboard-style wheels at the back or a single bike wheel. It's claimed to weigh just 2.45kg (5.4 lb) and with adjustable handlebars it's suitable for children from two years old.
This option from Halfords is recommended for tots aged 2 to 4. The Indi has a sturdy steel frame to withstand bumps and 10" wheels with solid tyres. The saddle height has a minimum of 35cm and max of 42cm, with 19mm handlebars that are perfect for diddy hands. The lack of a brake means it's for flat terrain only and there's no footrest for coasting, but it's very keenly priced.
German outfit Puky's range of balance bikes starts from as little as £59.99 with their LRM balance bike and they offer a whole range including models with pneumatic tyres, kickstands and brakes. All of them are light and extremely durable - they really are built to last with a tough powder coat finish, but that functionality isn't at the expense of fun.
The kids we know who've had them have really enjoyed using them and we'd go so far as to say they're a bit of a classic. Certainly if you want to give your child a fun start to a life of cycling £60 spent on the LRM is likely to be prove a very sound investment.
Puky's website has a very useful guide to help you choose the right balance bike for your sprog. Like most other kids' bikes it really comes down to size.
Another bike shop own brand, this time from Evans Cycles. The Napier is styled to look like the BMX bikes that multiple Olympic medallist Chris Hoy started his career on. It has a lightweight aluminium frame and 12-inch wheels.
Another great little balance bike. We love the simple lines of this balance bike from the Ridgeback range. The frame is 6061 aluminium which keeps the weight down and there's a proper sealed-bearing headset, unlike the bushings you find in very cheap balance bikes.
There's a V-brake at the back to slow things down and the cable is even routed internally. Who doesn't appreciate clean lines on their bike?
For very young kids there's a version with 12-inch wheels too, currently £80.
At a claimed weight of just 3.5kg, the Rothan is a featherweight even among balance bikes. It's not cheap, but you're getting Islabikes' renowned attention to detail, with thoughtful touches like the micro reach aluminium brake lever that gives light action braking for tiny hands; small diameter handlebars; and dedicated low slung 'scoop' saddle.
The minimum inside leg is 30cm, so it should fit riders from about two years old.
The LittleBig bike is a brilliant concept that will see your child travel from the early stages of balance through to learning how to pedal and beyond. It's light, well made and above all so exciting to ride that you'll struggle to get them off it.
A LittleBig starts life as a very small balance bike. As Junior grows you can flip the rear half of the frame and turn it into a larger balance bike, and then, when your kid is ready to fly solo, you attach the pedals and chain and it's a small pedal bike.
A lot of kids bikes use heavy steel frames which makes them cumbersome to control.The LittleBig's main frame is made in two sections of 6061 grade aluminium which, when fully built up with the steel fork, wheels and other bits and bobs, weighs in at just 5.8kg (12.78lb).
This means that even a little kid can confidently get out of the saddle to ride on a hill or lean it over in the bends without the bike becoming difficult for them to hold in position. It's massively confidence inspiring and saw tester Charlie become an impressive bike handler in a matter of weeks.
Read our review of the LittleBig 3-in-1
The Black Mountain Pinto starts life as a balance bike and when your youngster is ready to pedal can be converted into a pedal bike by adding the included cranks, pedals and drive belt. As the child grows it can be further adapted to become a larger bike with a higher gear, so your initial investment sees junior through the first couple or three years of their cycling life.
Spending a lot of money on a kid's bike is always a daunting prospect especially with the speed at which they can grow but the Black Mountain Pinto will see your child through the earliest stages of balancing to the heady heights of pedalling It's a well-built package with some clever design ideas that'll give plenty of confidence to those who are about to start their cycling journey.
In particular, the Pinto has a shallow head angle for very stable handling, and we found that really helped tester Isla to graduate from balance biking to pedalling.

Acknowledged by the Telegraph as a leading cycling journalist, John Stevenson has been writing about bikes and cycling for over 30 years since discovering that people were mug enough to pay him for it rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work.
He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John's bluff and the rest is history.
Since then he has worked on MTB Pro magazine and was editor of Maximum Mountain Bike and Australian Mountain Bike magazines, before switching to the web in 2000 to work for CyclingNews.com. Along with road.cc editor Tony Farelly, John was on the launch team for BikeRadar.com and subsequently became editor in chief of Future Publishing's group of cycling magazines and websites, including Cycling Plus, MBUK, What Mountain Bike and Procycling.
John has also written for Cyclist magazine, edited the BikeMagic website and was founding editor of TotalWomensCycling.com before handing over to someone far more representative of the site's main audience.
He joined road.cc in 2013 and these days he lives in Cambridge where the lack of hills is more than made up for by the headwinds.
My eldest never liked the balance bike, so used stabalisers, and then a few hours of backbreaking running round the park holding the saddle. My youngest refused to use it as he wanted pedals like his brother, so went with the stabalisers again. However he just did not seem to get the concept of balance. Then had a brainwave and dug out the balance bike. Literally ten minutes later he was sorted and off on his big boy bike like a pro
I'm selling a Rothan if anyone is interested!
... and of course, any bike can be a balance bike if you just take the pedals off.
Although the cranks and chain etc in the way can make it hard for Junior to scoot along, plus many kids bikes are fixies so the cranks would still whizz around.
I'm guessing rkemb actually probably meant removing the cranks and bottom bracket too.
Which works well... judging by friends' experiences. I took an altogether different route for my children and built this:
And for the older kids there's always this
B'Twin Run Ride https://www.decathlon.co.uk/run-ride-500-kids-balance-bike-orange-black-... Gone a bit more expensive in the past couple of years but still great value. Ours has just passed on from child number 3 and is still in great nick. Some prefer to keep it simple with no brake, but our kids never had a problem with it
https://www.littlebigbikes.com/ also worth a mention I think. Expensive, but clever design means they can be used over a wide age range with pedals and chain fitted later. My nephews have used and approved ages 2-5 so far.
Balance bikes are absolutely the best thing for kids. Training wheels or stabilisers are actually more hazardous once the child has any degree of momentum.
BTW. The first balance bike I ever saw was an 'Islabike', did Isla Rowntree invent them.
The modern child's balance bike was first launched by the Likeabike company in Germany in the mid 1990s. THey deserve much of the credit for today's explosion of new brands.
... and of course, any bike can be a balance bike if you just take the pedals off.
Not true for age 2 and age 3 kids with 12" and 14" inseams. There are no pedal bikes with seats that low or which are as light as a proper balance bike. For age 4 it might be possible, with a 14" pedal bike such as the Ridgeback MX-14.
The Ridgeback Scoot and Scoot XL are specifically produced in a US Edition and distributed by https://www.weebikeshop.com and it's authorized US dealers. So is the Saracen Freewheel, another bike with amazing quality and world champion genetics.
The Scoot has no weight limit! The 1.75 lb frame can support 1000 lbs:
+1 for Halfords Indi
I needed to chop off the bottom of the seat post where it sticks out from the frame as my little one would get incredibly frustrated when pushing the bike up steps and it would get caught. Once this was done it was plain sailing.
Really like that he can put his feet up on the 'chain'stays. He can now roll for ages with minimal foot input and balances almost to a standstill. I think with a bike where he couldn't put his feet up he would use his feet a lot more and not hone the balance part.
Only downside is the seatpost is very short and he's now outgrown it at 2.5 years.
How about a penny farthing??
Further to above, he's now outgrown the Halfords bike and his little legs aren't quite long enough for pedals yet.
In comes the Kokua or Likeabike Jumper.
It's got elastomer suspension on the rear - I figured that I spend a lot of time taking my bodyweight onto the pedals to absorb bumps. He's not got that option so any jarring goes straight into his back.
It's a well thought out bike, aheadset, aluminium, 2 seat posts to allow for growth. Not that heavy at all. Fitted their front brake to it, and he's now using that instead of his feet to stop!
I see him now deliberately going for bumpy areas, and he loved his first session on Leith Hill!
Another 6 months or so and he'll be big enough for pedals, then I'm going to have to be on a bike too to keep up with him!

The Ten Most Venomous Snakes
I've received the following information:
"The information you have is not
correct. Steve is basing his statements on an old article
by Broad, et al in Toxicon. The article was not intended
to be a ranking but rather just a representation of some
of the Australian venoms (with a couple of
non-Australian venoms thrown in for measure). While the
top three land snakes are Australian, non-Australian
snakes come in heavily in the top ten and twenty."

Tall corn stands thick and proud these hot muggy August days. The neighbors' soy bean fields delighted my eyes as I drove home from our village library and after visiting with a friend today. The lovely bushy greenness spread out to the horizon like a warm wavy blanket. After last year's drought, this summer in our region has allowed farmers to produce bumper crops. We are grateful.
We have eaten very good zucchini casseroles of various kinds to our hearts' content and maybe a bit more than that. And corn on the cob from our next-door neighbor's bounty. And now huge red juicy vine-ripened tomatoes with every meal but breakfast. The okra has just started producing, so I will be putting more and more of that in the freezer for meals when the grandkids are here. I have made zucchini cookies once and bread several times for us and for others. One is in the freezer for fall. (Gerald thinks a plant blight of some sort will end the zucchini season soon.)
I have used sweetener for most of the baked goods except what I gave away. I made a second batch of zucchini bars yesterday that turned out vey good. It was a recipe in my files that I'd never tried before. Maybe it is not accurate to say I made a second batch because the first time I was also pleased with the result until Gerald asked where's the zucchini. At that point after an extremely busy morning, it dawned on me that in my rush of doing two or three things at once I had never grated the zucchini I had laid out to add to the mixture.
I have not yet picked any garden produce. Gerald continued to complete the task even when he had to use just one hand being careful to not violate any of directions given him at the hospital when he had the pacemaker put in. But I have put corn and some zucchini in the freezer along with some tomatoes and even one batch of juice I made for wintertime chili. Despite my efforts to preserve some of the garden goodness, Gerald has had to take many full buckets and boxes to our homeless shelter in town.
The garden produce is not the reason I have been so busy. There have been days when Katherine's aides could not show up, and I have gone into town to help her. She does not want me to, but she has to have help even though I have no training for nursing.
Good things are also going on. Before her new teaching and coaching job started in
Texas, Erin was up for a weekend after all most a year away. It
was so good to see her. Brianna has
started her freshman year at Murray,
and we enjoyed a girls' going-away lunch date with her mom despite their own
work-crammed schedule this summer. Now Leslie is stopping by tomorrow on her

Guardians of the Marlborough Sound
The eleven-hour overnight bus ride from Auckland down to Wellington was a foul atrocity. Overnight bus rides are far from my favorite moments in the glamor of travel but this one had particularly slayed me. If you're somewhat of an insomniac like me, these trips are long and arduous after the first two hours when the lights go out, lap tops and cell phones die, music is no more, and all you have to accompany the pitch blackness are your thoughts and the base drum snoring in the seat behind you. But this little gem of a ride came with a complimentary toddler kicking and shrieking behind me for the better part of the journey. Five hours in, the girl next to me starts spewing vomit in her sleep like a demon, covering my foot with sick. We are currently on the edge of a cliff side road so the bus driver refuses to stop and I'm the only one awake to help her clean up. She refuses to throw her now hideously destroyed dress out so we spend the next six hours with a peaceful bag of vomit-covered articles in between us and I'm pretty sure I've just contracted Ebola.
The bus driver drops us off in the industrial port town of Wellington at the southern most point of the North Island just as the sun is waking, reminding me enviously that I'm still awake. It's a three-hour ferry ride from here to the South Island and I don't know where I'm going once I get there but I'm going. Once aboard the massive cruise line of a ship that is the Interislander ferry, I order an Irish coffee ("Yes, Irish," I repeat to the barista that asks if she heard me correctly at 8:30am) because I think I deserve it and settle in a small, whicker basket chair in a large, glass encased room at the very back of the ship. I can't even count how many ferries I've been on now traveling from place to place but they are definitely my preferred mode of transportation and this sky room look out is a nice new touch, despite the current view being a bunch of cranes and industrial chaos.
The freighter pulls from the port, slowly tanking along through the water and expanding my view as she presses onward. As Wellington gets smaller, the mountains on either side of me get closer and larger as they slide past. Browns and greens, lavenders and yellows as the morning sun stretches her arms, casting technicolor patterns across each sloping peak and valley she touches.
I set my coffee down, my sleepy eyes now wide and I'm scanning for a way out of this glass case on to the rear deck. I heave all my weight against a dry rotted wooden exit door and am met with the chill of the ocean air as it opens. The early Spring New Zealand air still carries the reminder of the winter they are trying to leave behind and the sun is not yet high enough to warm us into believing summer has arrived. A massive steam engine erupts from the rear high above the ship sounding its existence through a thick cylinder of aqua and navy painted swirls. Blocking the speck that is now Wellington in the distance, it splits my view in two, a few scattered villages along the mountain slopes to my left and untouched hills on my right, the sun making its way up from behind them and kissing my right cheek.
The only sound is the slow and steady rumble of the engine beneath me and the muffling of the wind in my ears. I can't see where we are going but only from where we are coming, each new landscape sliding past me a thrilling surprise. And I'm like a stunned child walking from one side of the deck all the way to the other to admire each new cluster of floating hills, unable to decide which one I like best and for some reason needing to. Sloping unscathed hills enter on my right and they are so close that I'm sure I could touch them if I reached, dragging my fingertips against the brown rock, over the coarse short shrubbery, flickering yellow and green with the sun at its back. A solitary white lighthouse stands assuredly at the very top, stretching up through the shallow clouds, the only evidence that man has ever been there.
The floating hills keep coming, each one greater than the next, as we slowly weave in, out and around, careful not to disturb them. Lying sleepily and unmovable like giants floating on their backs in the calm blue water, fat and wrinkly, with round soft curves and a blanket of mossy skin stretching smoothly over their massive bellies and chubby thighs. Protectors of the Marlborough Sounds, only to be woken in dire circumstances.
The giant on my right, still and peaceful, left alone in his ancient peace. Small colonies of barnacles and Mollusks have embedded into the ankles and drooping thighs, under arms and chunky fingers of the lounging giant to my left. I wonder if he minds that he's been colonized, or if he notices the people and their villages at all amidst nature's other life forms growing from his mossy bed. How long have these massive creatures been hibernating and what happens if this man made giant roaring past shakes them from their prehistoric slumber?
I imagine the inhabited giant to my left yawning and stretching his bright green arms, shaking the tiny parasites from the folds of his neck as he sits up to see who has dared to disturb him. Timber and shingles crumbling off houses, china plates falling off shelves and sliding across floors that have now become walls as the woken giant attempts to realign his vertebrae with a thunderous crack. Tiny people hanging onto door knobs and mailboxes for their lives as they dangle in the air now high above the giant's legs and their neighboring town. Little villagers sliding down the giant's face as he uproots their homes with a furrow of his overgrown grassy eyebrows, or shooting into the sky like dust as he twitches his now tickly nose and sneezes.
His face is sunken and his ancient skin droops now that he's upright, covered in porous scars and scraggly facial hair. Long sparse strands of slimy seaweed hang from his scalp, their ends still floating in the deep blue waters at his waist, and his arched back is covered in a rug of coarse hair, thick as tree roots and caked with mud. He cracks his neck with his pruned palms, looks over at us sleepily, and disinterested, settles back down in the sea covered sand, irritated that we've disrupted the perfect mold his body had made in it after all these years, unaware and unchanged by the tiny lives he's just uprooted.
"I said wake me up if it's something important," the giant mumbles grumpily before settling back into one of those slow and shallow, reassuring snores.
I smile as we leave him be, wondering if he'll even remember it in the morning, whenever his next morning may be.

What to Do When Employers or Insurers Fight Workers' Compensation
If you're ever injured on the job, it's likely that you're entitled to workers' compensation benefits. In fact, the rules are set up so that, even if you are hurt at work due to your own mistake, you can still receive compensation. Of course, it doesn't always happen like this since employers and insurers often fight against these benefits. Fortunately, there are steps you can take if you're unfairly being denied workers' comp.
Why Would I Be Denied?
If you're ever denied workers' compensation benefits, you will be informed of the reason for that denial. Keep in mind that there are a variety of reasons that your claim may be denied. And even if you disagree with the reasoning for your denial, it's important to remember that there are often different interpretation of what's right. Accident victims and insurers often see the same situation through different lenses, so whereas you might see a permanent injury, they may only see a five-month loss of work.
Of course, some workers run into issues before even dealing with the workers' comp insurer. You and your employer may also see things in a different light. An on-the-job accident will result in their insurance rates going up, so they want to be absolutely certain that an injury occurred during the course of employment.
While this may seem like your employer being difficult, it's not unreasonable for them to question claims. Tens of billions of dollars are lost to workers' comp fraud every year. Your employer may just want to avoid becoming part of that statistic.
Fighting Workers' Comp Denials and Other Issues
Many people think that a denial or pushback from their employer is the end of their workers' comp case. The belief that the law will immediately side with the "big dog" is prevalent. Fortunately, this isn't the case. In fact, California recently investigated one of its southern counties over their workers' compensation tactics.
When you're hurt on the job, the law is on your side, and while state laws may differ, they're all geared towards helping injured workers. If you're injured at work in Sacramento, for instance, your employer is supposed to provide you with the Workers' Compensation Claim form. In a situation with this amount of initial pushback, though, it's probably a good idea to speak with a Sacramento workers' compensation attorney.
If it's the workers' comp insurer giving you issues, though, there are other considerations. The first thing to know is that a denial isn't the end of the story. You have the option of appealing the decision. Again, an attorney would be helpful in this instance so they can help you through the entirety of the appeals process.
Increasing Your Chances of Receiving Benefits
While unfair insurers and employers may try to prevent workers from receiving benefits, there are a few things you can do to make it more difficult for them. In many states, ranging from California to the East Coast, you can lose your right to receive benefits if you don't promptly report your injury. Your employer or the insurer can later say the injury may not have been sustained on the job, so report it immediately and keep that "easy out" away from them.
Next, you'll want to follow all rules related to receiving benefits. Your employer, for instance, may require you to be treated at their own Health Care Organization (HCO) unless you already designated a particular physician. Lastly, you will want to seek out the help of a workers' comp attorney at the first sign of trouble. There are typically deadlines for applications and appeals, so you don't want to waste time when it comes to being financially compensated.
Getting injured on the job can be a disheartening and financially stressful situation, but this becomes much worse when there are people working against you. Fortunately, there are ways of getting around this, so never forget that the law is on your side.

I find the Sheaffer Skrip line of inks difficult to review, in the sense that they're not sexy and therefore difficult to convince people to try. They offer nothing unique in terms of color, water resistance, or "special properties." I've had many conversations with fountain pen users who refuse to consider Skrip at all on the grounds that the range of eight basic colors is "boring," and they "don't use a fountain pen to write in boring colors." But at the same time, I can't think of a product that provokes the same degree of emotion/nostalgia in people, given Sheaffer's history and the fact that millions of people used these inks (or versions of them) for years, even decades, at work and in school.
Skrip Red and Skrip Turquoise are my two favorite Skrip colors that I have tried so far. As a red ink junkie, who insists on being able to use at least one red ink in all my pens (vintage included), Skrip Red is a must-own. By all accounts, it's a "safe" ink that washes out of pens fairly easily, and in my experience does not stain. (Caveat: I will back off my categorical "red-ink-in-all-pens" statement in one regard: if you have a high-end white celluloid pen or other material that stains very easily, don't risk red ink at all. Even Skrip might leave you disappointed. For that matter, if you are super paranoid about staining, stick with Waterman Florida Blue or Aurora Black and don't even consider moving outside those two basic colors.) But in any event, here are five reasons why I love Skrip Red, and why it's my go-to red ink workhorse:
- It's cheap and plentiful. As much as I love my Montblanc Alfred Hitchcock Limited Edition Ink, I only have three 30ml bottles, and once that's gone, it's gone. I don't want to waste it marking up other people's legal briefs when all that writing will just be thrown in the trash. For $12 (or less), you get 50ml of fire-engine red Skrip to bleed all over those bad citations and split infinitives.
- It cleans out easily. As I mentioned, vintage pen people (including both Richard Binder and Ron Zorn) consider Skrip a "safe" ink. I believe it's still the only ink Ron Zorn sells. Peace of mind at $12 a bottle.
- It's an American classic. I know, I know, the ink itself is now made in Slovenia, and even Sheaffer pens are now made abroad. But everyone from my parents' and grandparents' generation grew up using Skrip "writing fluid" in the cool inkwell bottle, and it evokes fond memories in many people.
- The color. It's hard to find an ink that you can label a "pure red." I would call Skrip Red a true "fire-engine red," without any pink or orange undertones.
- It dries quickly and doesn't bleed or smear. I don't know about you, but I've found that a lot of red inks tend to stay "tacky" for a while, probably due to the manufacturer using too much dye to achieve super-saturated color. This is the reason I stopped using Noodler's Tiananmen, which was the first bottle of red fountain pen ink I ever purchased. It made me sad to give it up, because I loved the color, but I couldn't take the smearing and the long dry times.
In terms of cons, I can't come up with much related to the ink itself. I will, however, call out Sheaffer on a couple aspects of the packaging:
- Fix the bottle design. The little pyramid-shaped bottle is attractive, but it's incredibly difficult to fill a pen that has an even moderately large nib once the bottle is 3/4 full or less. I've been using the ink in my Lamy 2000's recently because that's one of the only pens where it's easy to get a full fill given the current ink level in my bottle.
- In connection with No. 1 above, bring back the Skrip inkwell bottle! Those are classic pieces of Americana and incredibly useful. I would even pay a couple dollars more for the ink if they resurrected the bottle with the internal inkwell.
The Verdict
If you want a workhorse ink that you don't have to worry about using in the vast majority of your pens, and doesn't break the bank, you won't be disappointed with Skrip in any color. The red is a classic that looks great and behaves reasonably well on all types of paper. You don't get any special ink properties such as water resistance or fade protection, but the ink dries quickly and won't smear all over your hands and the page. Once I end my ink-buying moratorium and use up some of the bottles of blue and black ink that I have, I'm going to give Skrip blue and Skrip black a run through the rotation.

Johnbern Thomas: Jazz in Exile
Haitian drummer, displaced by the earthquake, makes his way across the border
Caribbean jazz drummer Johnbern Thomas remembers the dates that changed his career much like any other musician. He remembers the Sunday in 1999 when, at the age of eight, the pastor of his church pulled him aside to say "God has a project for you," asking him to play in what would be his first ever public performance. He remembers January 28th, 2010—the day he left the only home he'd ever known to try and earn a living in a country where he didn't even speak the language.
And he remembers how, two weeks earlier, on January 12, he was concentrating so hard practicing riffs from a West African Roots book by Royal Hartigan that he didn't notice the 7.2-magnitude earthquake that would postpone his dreams of becoming a jazz star in Haiti.
Listen to clips of Thomas performing and demonstrating an African-based rhythm he incorporates into his jazz music:

Jazz in Post-Earthquake Haiti: (Re)building a Musical Culture
On a rainy Sunday night in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, jazz instructor Claude Carre sits down with his guitar on a small stage alongside two of his students, playing drums and bass. The audience of 15 or so wealthy Haitians and foreigners at Café des Artes don't seem to notice when the house music gives way to the sounds of Carre and his trio playing a soft acoustic number.
Ever since the 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit Haiti last January —leaving some 230,000 people dead and displacing 1.3 million more to tent cities—Haiti's musicians have struggled harder than ever to find audiences. In addition to the immediate human suffering, the earthquake also put a long-term dent Haiti's fine arts culture, including its delicate jazz scene.
"I don't know if after that, the jazz scene is going to expire," Carre said.

PHOTO: Tent Life
The Tele Mobil company of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, films an episode of The Tent Life—a reality show based on the tent city culture of the over one million Haitians displaced by the January 12th earthquake.
The show is aired every Thursday, Friday and Saturday on large projector screens in 17 different camps around Port-Au-Prince. The project, which is funded by the U.N. mission to Haiti (MINUSTAH), aims to improve the health and safety of camp residents through public service announcements that are aired during the show.
In Latin America's baseball capital, a soccer town stands out
By Jacob Kushner
At the Viejo Jack bar in the town of Jarabacoa, the World Cup match between Brazil and the Ivory Coast is playing on a fuzzy projector screen. At this very moment across most of Latin America, millions of soccer fans are gathering in bars just like this to watch their favorite team progress toward the championship. Here at the Viejo Jack, there are exactly five such fans.
This is the Dominican Republic, where baseball is the second most commonly spoken language—where kids with no bats, balls or gloves use broom sticks, pieces of plastic and their bare hands to imitate what is indisputably this nation's athletic passion.
But now the language of fútbol—'estriker,' patada and gol—is sneaking into the baseball-centric vocabulary of Dominicans who are taking interest in the world's most popular sport.

Power in Numbers: Reporters unite in one city to cover health care access
In Madison, Wis., 20 news organizations came together to produce dozens of stories on local health care access. The content was presented on a website that was created for the project. Not all Wisconsin media participated, though the project was eventually deemed a success. The model that was developed allowed each media outlet to "play to its respective strengths rather than conform to a particular style."

Libor Falls as Banks Sit on Cash
A closely watched indicator of credit-market stress has fallen to its lowest level in five months. But the decline may be more a sign of bank caution than an all-clear for financial markets.
The three-month dollar London interbank offered rate, or Libor, at which banks lend each other money on a short-term basis, fell on Friday to 0.2928%, its lowest level since early April, before the height of the European debt crisis.

Last weekend I had a slice of Salty Chocolate Chess pie at Petee's Pie Company in the Lower East Side. It was love at first bite. Second generation pie baker, Petra "Petee Paradez, grew up in her family's acclaimed bakery, Mom's Apple Pie Company, in Leesburg, Virginia. I instantly recognized her Southern roots in her scrumptious chess pie. True to her promise - "damn fine pie for damn fine people." I can't wait to try the rest of her pies.

With their mild flavor, the yellow perch is one of the finest pan fish. Don't be fooled when you go to a restaurant though, because white perch, rock bass, and other sunfish are mispresented as "perch" on the menus. We accept no substitutes, and recommend that you get some yellow perch on your taste buds—preferably after you've reeled him in yourself. I think this goes without saying, but fish caught by your own hand always tastes better. Sink your teeth into this cool one piece we've made after the yellow perch. It's just so darn delicious.
We don't like to view animals solely as a food source, but the yellow perch is one of those fish that's just so darn delicious. Here at Gill Mcfinn's™, we mostly enjoy the sport of fishing, but just can't help ourselves when a fish is breaded, fried, and finds its way into our mouths. Don't you just love it when that happens? The yellow perch is just so tasty, and so is our Romper.

About LTR coaching
About LTR coaching
"You need to love the rain, (pain and hard times) to really enjoy, and experience living," says Iron-woman, and Love The Rain (LTR) founder Celia Boothman.
LTR coaching was launched in 2014 and provides a structured approach to training and nutrition for busy people who are balancing doing what they love, with family and work life.
LTR coaching helps people to achieve their triathlon goals, whatever their starting point.
Celia Boothman is a self-coached Kona competitor with a passion for best performance in sport and life. She lives, works and trains in Pembrokeshire, the home of Ironman Wales, and will soon be launching a range of training weekends in the area to help athletes preparing for multisport events, with a focus on planning, nutrition, and eating right for long distance events.
If you're interested in training weekends, contact us now. She will also continue to provide coaching plans and nutrition advice both face-to-face and online.
Celia's story:
"I started triathlon as a way of getting some fitness back after having my first son. I soon grew excited about doing different events and built up the distance until I had completed Ironman Wales. I then made it my goal to qualify for Kona, and raced there in 2017. You can read about my experience here. It was a day I'll never forget!"
What I love about Coaching:
Getting to know a range of people, and what makes them tick.
Empowering individuals to have confidence in themselves.
Creatively planning training, so that athletes achieve the right balance for life and triathlon.
I am particularly interested in how women perform in sport, and the differences between them, hormonally and psychologically.

California Dreamin' with Governor Jerry Brown
Living in Los Angeles and especially Beverly Hills one expects from time to time to run into a well-known celebrity or politician at a Starbucks or a fund-raiser. One thousand members of Temple Emanuel turned out on Yom Kippur afternoon to hear a politician who one doesn't usually expect to see in a synagogue – particularly not on the holiest day of the year: Governor Jerry Brown.
Earlier this year Rabbi Laura Geller decided that the one person who could talk about how "California Matters," the theme for this year's Yom Kippur Contemporary Issue Forum, was our governor and he graciously accepted her invitation.
Governor Brown began by reminiscing about his days as a Jesuit Priest and joked a bit about how he spent long periods in silence, as compared it with the loquaciousness of his present life. The governor spoke about the early days in California and it's history. The Gold Rush, in particular, was a time of endless spirit and he believes that same spirit is still alive and well here. He also spoke about how relatively recent it has been that citizens of this state have come to know equal opportunities to obtain employment, purchase property, and qualify to vote. California has grown rapidly and its population has doubled since 1965 to over 37 million people now. This rapid growth sets California apart from the rest of the country and presents some very complex problems to be solved by our governor and legislature.
Although it has been many years now since California has had a balanced budget, there have been times in the past when money was readily available to pay for Medi-Cal or to fund our state schools. Governor Brown truly seems to share the frustration and anxiety that we all feel as we see cuts being made to many of our most cherished programs. An important part of his solution to this huge problem is Proposition 30, which will be voted on this November. He strongly advocated passage of this ballot initiative, which includes a raise in our sales tax and a raise in income tax rate for high earners. He claimed that, if it does not pass, the state will face more huge cuts to education and to the funding for our schools.
The governor's opening was followed by a conversation conducted by Rabbi Geller and Rabbi Jonathan Aaron, posing questions collected from congregants. He was asked to distinguish between various California propositions to clarify them for the audience.
Another question for Governor Brown was in regard to the law the "Divest from Iran Act" sponsored by our Temple Emanuel congregant Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles) and Bob Blumenfield (D-San-Fernando Valley). Mike Feuer was present on stage and the Governor spoke about the message of disapproval he wanted to send to Iran.
Temple Emanuel has had a congregation-based community organizing committee for several years now and is a member of One LA. One congregant asked the governor about his priorities for a special session of the legislature being called for in January. Our committee has worked closely with members of the California Health Benefit Exchange to ensure that people of all incomes will have access to an affordable health plan. He is proud of the work the exchange has done and knows that California is working hard to be ready for the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The governor said that this holy time of year, just after the Jewish New Year, was a good time for us all to think about the betterment of humanity.
Rabbi Geller surprised him with one final question: she asked him to compare his current job to that of a congregational rabbi. He commented that it was more difficult to pastor a congregation than to shepherd a state. "You have to see them in person," he said with a smile.
Many of our congregants worked hard to ensure that this event was successful. We knew that the governor enjoyed books so, Rabbi Aaron presented the governor with The Women's Torah Commentary, a groundbreaking Bible commentary written exclusively by women. He was moved by the presentation and we were honored to have been able to share this day with him at Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills.
After careers as a professional singer and Marriage and Family Therapist, Diane Vanette is currently VP of Programs on the Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills board and social justice chair. She is enjoying her first grand child and she and her husband live in Encino, CA.

Are Liberty and Equality Compatible?
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)
Are the political ideals of liberty and equality compatible? This question is of central and continuing importance in political philosophy, moral philosophy, and welfare economics. In this book, two distinguished philosophers take up the debate. Jan Narveson, author of The Libertarian Idea, argues that a political ideal of negative liberty is incompatible with any substantive ideal of equality; while James P. Sterba, author of Justice for Here and Now, argues that Narveson's own ideal of negative liberty is compatible with, and in fact leads to the requirements of, a substantive ideal of equality. Of course, they cannot both be right. Thus, the details of their arguments about the political ideal of negative liberty and its requirements will determine which of them is right. Their debate will be of value to all who are interested in the central issue of what are the practical requirements of a political ideal of liberty.

Art Mécanique kickstarts a mechanical watch with a few high-tech trimmings
There is, to be sure, nothing new under the horological sun. However, by putting all of the old pieces together in new ways you end up with a watch that is both interesting and unique. Art Mécanique is a Swiss company that is crowdfunding a watch with a face made of concentric circles. The bottom half of the face is covered by a metal plate and you tell the time by looking at the top of the watch. The watch runs an Horlogerie Schild SA mechanical movement inside a steel case which comes in polished and matte steel or with a black diamond-like carbon coating.

The Rutgers University Debate Union (RUDU) closed the semester with gusto by winning the Vassar tournament, earning top varsity and top novice speaker, and securing 4th place in the national rankings halfway through the year. The last tournament of the semester was the best of the year so far, with Rutgers teams taking 1st, 6th, 8th, 9th, and 10th place teams. Russell Potter and Adam Bomeisl won the tournament in their first ever individual final round appearances. The sophomore/junior duo jumps to the 11th ranked partnership in the country, joining three other RUDU pairings in the top 20. The team also qualified for the National Championships, joining Ashley Novak in that feat.
RUDU's participation in the tournament, including travel, was sponsored entirely by the Rutgers School of Communication and Information (SC&I).
Meanwhile, Sean Leonard accomplished one of the rarest feats in APDA debate by winning both the top novice and top varsity speaker award. This was last done by Sesenu Woldemariam of Yale in April 2011, at the final regular season tournament of the year. Woldemariam finished the year as the Novice of the Year (NOTY), ahead of RUDU's own Ashley Novak. Leonard now will be ranked 6th NOTY going into the month-long recess from competition for winter break.
Here is the long list of official accomplishments for RUDU at Vassar 2012:
Russell Potter & Adam Bomeisl – 1st Team
Sean Leonard & Nisha Kumar – 6th Team
Ashley Novak & Kurt Falk – 8th Team
Chris Bergman & Quinn Maingi – 9th Team
Arbi Llaveshi & Rachel Moon – 10th Team
Sean Leonard – 1st Speaker
Russell Potter – 4th Speaker
Ashley Novak – 6th Speaker
Arbi Llaveshi – 10th Speaker
Sean Leonard – 1st Novice Speaker
The tournament wins and three appearances in elimination rounds cement a fourth overall ranking for RUDU in the American Parliamentary Debate Association (APDA) standings. Yale and Brandeis are fairly established as #1 and #2, respectively, while Harvard, Rutgers, and Johns Hopkins are tightly packed in the next three spots, only a couple points apart. Rutgers stands at 150.5 points in the College of the Year (COTY) rankings. Last year, RUDU earned 124 points for the entire year – this term was 21% better than all of last season. Rutgers finished last year ranked 9th overall.
The win for Potter and Bomeisl went through three of the top four schools. They defeated teammates from Rutgers (Leonard & Kumar) in quarterfinals, a Yale team in semifinals, and a Brandeis team in finals. Harvard did not attend this tournament. The quarterfinal between Potter/Bomeisl and Leonard/Kumar was the second Rutgers "civil war" this year. Potter/Bomeisl lost the prior one, at Maryland, to Bergman/Maingi, who went on to final at the tournament.
The elimination round appearance was the first this year for Kumar, a senior in her third year of debating for Rutgers. Leonard made his second run to elimination rounds after a torrid speaking performance throughout preliminary rounds. Falk broke to out-rounds for the third time this term, Potter and Bomeisl the fourth, and Novak the fifth.
This was the first outright tournament win for Rutgers in exactly two years. On this weekend two years ago, Bergman and Novak stunned the field at UMBC and won the tournament as a sophomore/freshman team. Since then, Rutgers has appeared in six final rounds, always finishing second until this weekend.
Novak heads into the break ranked 6th Speaker of the Year (SOTY), the only woman in the top ten. Rutgers now has a team record seven entrants on the SOTY rankings, with Leonard and Potter debuting this weekend after their awards at Vassar. They are joined by Bergman, Alex Jubb, Falk, and Bomeisl. Five RUDU debaters were ranked on the SOTY Board in 2010-2011, a record that has stood till this weekend.
Leonard is the third Rutgers debater ever to win a top varsity speaker award on APDA, joining Farhan Ali and Bergman. Given that this is his first semester on the circuit, he seems likely to repeat this feat.
Novak, Bomeisl, and Potter give RUDU three Nationals qualifications halfway through the year. Bergman, Maingi, Falk, Jubb, Gordon Morrisette, and Leonard are all well over halfway qualified with 12 regular season tournaments left to attend next term. The Rutgers record for qualifications is five, set in 2010-2011. Bomeisl and Potter had never qualified for Nationals before dominating Vassar.
