CANANDAIGUA � A�Bloomfield woman charged with first-degree criminal sexual act as a result of her alleged involvement in the rape of a 14-year-old�girl will have her case heard before an Ontario County grand jury.
Appearing briefly Thursday before Town Justice Walter Jones in Canandaigua Town Court, Patricia A. DeBoerdere, 26, of 2469 Route 444, Lot 28, Bloomfield, was represented by defense attorney James F. Miller, who was appointed by the Ontario County Conflict Defender�s office.
�Felony charges are arraigned in the local criminal court,� said Miller, �but before they can really proceed they have to go to County Court and have to be considered by a grand jury.�
According to the Ontario County District Attorney�s office, Assistant District Attorney Jason McBride will prosecute DeBoerdere�s case. A date has not yet been announced.
On Thursday, DeBoerdere was�literally surrounded by a huddle of friends and family members as she entered and left the courtroom. She appeared tense and anxious as supporters joked and laughed�boisterously in the empty courtroom before the judge arrived.
DeBoerdere is charged along with 25-year-old Samuel D. McClure, also of 2469 Route 444, Lot 28, Bloomfield. According to Ontario County sheriff's deputies, the pair used physical force to make the teen have sexual intercourse and oral sexual contact with both of them while at a motel in the Town of Canandaigua on July 25. McClure is charged with first-degree rape for his alleged role in the incident. The charges against the two are classified as Class B felonies.
Under Penal Law Section 210.45 of the State of New York,�a person is guilty of first-degree criminal sexual act when he or she engages in oral or anal sexual conduct with another person by force.
Investigator Eric J. Woehr said the alleged incident was first reported July 31 through the New York State Child Abuse Hotline. From there the case was picked up by Ontario County Child Protective Services, which is currently caring for the alleged victim.
McClure, who�is scheduled to appear at 7 p.m. Sept. 4 in Canandaigua Town Court, remains in the Ontario County Jail in lieu of $25,000 cash bail or $50,000 bond. Since her arraignment before Jones earlier this month, DeBoerdere has been released on her own recognizance.
Bloomfield woman charged in rape of 14-year-old moves to grand jury
CANANDAIGUA � A�Bloomfield woman charged with first-degree criminal sexual act as a result of her alleged involvement in the rape of a 14-year-old�girl will have her case heard before an Ontario County grand jury.

Mine has to do with the water temperature at my local YMCA where our master's team holds practices......TOOOOOO HOT!!!!...Usually in excess of 86 degrees!
Being interrupted in the middle of a killer set!!!! You're on a roll... someone leans over and asks....is the pool open for swimming? AAAGGGHHHHH!!!!! No, MO - we're swimming here because it's closed.

That's funny!!.....It reminds me of a famous quote by Einstein that goes something like this....."The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has it's limits"
p.s. I have to deal with some of the most rediculuously brainless comments you can imagine on almost a daily basis.....Not to complain about my job...b/c I love my job....The other day I passsed back a graded exam...and a student asked me..."do the check marks mean I got those questions correct"....I answered "yaeh and the "x-marks" with the point deductions right next to them means that you got those wrong"....and I get questions like...."How are we suppose to know where your office is anyway?" half way into the semester...and I answer "Well let's see, ...There's the syllabus which is available online (so you can always print up as many copies as you like), ...theres the big Marquise on the wall of the first floor in plain view when you walk in the front door to our building that has all of the teacher's office numbers on it, ...you can call the main office of our department or stop by and ask the secretary,.... you can ask me before or after class, ....or you can simply walk the halls in our tiney building checking each office door at random untill you eventually stumble across mine....that would take all of about 2 or 3 minutes since it's a small two story building"...ect...ect...
I hate this as well; it is so grossOriginally posted by aquageek
Great topic - my pet peeve is people who put their sweaty gym socks and shorts in the swimsuit water extractor.
how about unsynchronized clocks? We have one at each end of the pool and they are only off by about 5 seconds. I didn't notice for a while, thought maybe one way was uphill or something when the even 75s were :50 and the odds took a minute!
1) Kids swimming across the lap lanes without looking first and the lifeguards doing nothing about it. A real problem at the outdoor pool where I swim in the summer.
2) People who hock really large wads of *spit* into the gutter. Especially when they have colds.
- people that hock large wads of spit in the pool (don't even go for the gutter)
- people who think they should always have their own lane and act like you are infringing upon them for making them adhere to circle swimming when the pool is crowded
- people who don't rinse off before getting in the pool
- people who hang out in a lap lane to flounder and not swim when the pool I swim at has a large "open" area for non lap swimmers
HAHAHAHAH! I love all your responses! I absolutley think it is gross when people hock in the pool and out!
And when people with out form make huge waves in the pool....makes me dizzy. Anyway....GREAT PET PEEVES!
My biggest pet peeve is when the swimmer in the lane next to you swims right on the lane line and eventually you wind up smashing hands.
When people swim in the "wrong" lane! If you are a slow swimmer, please use the slow lane! If you're a fast swimmer, don't get in the "medium" lane and then get annoyed with the "medium" paced swimmers. Isn't it better to circle with 3 people close to your own pace, rather than struggle with 2 that are either slower or faster than you?
people that hock large wads of spit in the pool (don't even go for the gutter)
That is not only one of the most vile and disgusting things I have ever heard, it is almost unfathomable to imagine someone doing such a thing!!.....Now I am going to be thinking about that during every lap of my next swim practice....thinking that one of those huge wads of snot/spit is going to get sucked up into my mouth or something....It almost triggers my gag reflex just thinking about it!.......There are apparently NO limits to how crude and disgusting some people can be!!
When I get to the pool and someone is in my favorite lane!!
When I'm having an awesome swim. look at the clock and relize that I have to go to biology .
When little kids through stuff in your lane right in front of you and then dive in after them.
When I have to choose a shallow lane and the water slide is on. The water is traveling very quickly by the time it reaches the end of the slide and it creates a small whirlpool that makes it difficult to swim in one direction, especially in the shallow end. I guess a turbulent swim is better than no swim.
we don't get enough respect... we are like the only athletes who hold their breath while competing... ha!
Made with real lightning!
When you see the lifeguards doing arm motions, for, I don't, butterfly let's say, and talking and then you realize that you are the only person in the pool doing butterfly.
Your right! Swimmers rarely get respect for our sport! My roommate is a mountian bike rider. She came swimming with me on Monday to start cross training. She said, " I give you credit Jenn...this is hard stuff!" It certainly made me feel good that someone noticed that swimming doesn't come easy as some people may think.
I am too slow and too old
That's a pet peeve?? Sounds more like a blessing to me. I love that smell and I wish it were permanent.Originally posted by swimmnjenn
No matter how hard you scrub or how often you shower....you always smell of chlorine!
Ooooohhhhhhh yeah... Whenever someone hogs up Lane 5, I feel the SAME way.When I get to the pool and someone is in my favorite lane!!
And now for some more original pet peeves:
Inattentive lifeguards: "....Hey, I understand the concept of Circle Swimming, but FIVE people in my lane?? FIVE?? Sombody do something!!"
The Aquatic Center by my house: This applies to the one above also. There are countless pet peeves I encounter at the Aquatic Center by my house. Sadly it's the closest too...
Pet Peeve #1: Over Crowdedness... Anytime after three PM is like a Shopping Mall on Christmas Day! Too many Kids! Where's my Lane!?! I can't swim here! It's too full! "...No wonder they call them the Aqua Posse!"
Pet Peeve #2: Stinky Locker Room... Is it just me, or does it smell like someone prepared a Mexican dish with a lot of cumins here? I love Mexican food, but Teenage Funk is just GROSS!
Pet Peeve #3: The (Female) Swimmer next to you who thinks she owns the place and thinks she's better than you. "...Who died and made you queen of the pool?" Arrogance will not be tolerated.
Pet Peeve #4: When the guys in the locker room OVERUSE the poor water extractor. VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR -- *click whirrrrrrrrrrr, sputter, sputter* (puffs of smoke come out of it)
Pet Peeve #5: Ooooooh this always gets my goat! Fluctuating pool times!!! ARRGH!!!! One weekend, opening time is from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Lap Swim ends at 2:00*) then the week after it's something like 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (Lap Swim ends at... WHAT?!?! ...11:00.) Justice! Justice! Justice! WHY MUST WE ENDURE SO MUCH DISRESPECT!?!?!?
We're people too!!!
...and lastly (not about the Aquatic Center anymore) when you have a hankering for a midnight swim, but find out the pool isn't open at that hour.
"...guess I'm a little too enthusiastic!"
"...When I dive; I won't lie, in a long-course I get high. When I train; I don't complain, train indoors whether shine or rain!"
How about the guy at my pool who has terrible form - he strokes only from about the top of his head to his chest, in very wide strokes. It is impossible to swim in the same lane as him. But his endurance is very good so he uses the lane for a looooong time every morning. His stroke is so bad, that I actually counted him doing 32 strokes per 25 yard length. He works real hard, and probably has pretty good cardio endurance. But he is impossible to share a lane with.
How about goggles that fog up.
How about lane lines that aren't tight enough and keep moving back and forth making lanes wider and narrower over and over again.
How about days when my stroke doesn't feel right and I am really struggling for some unknow reason. (Some may argue that my stroke being "off" is the norm! )
How about days when life keeps me from getting to the pool...... this is my biggest pet peave of all!
Go Steelers!

Ubisoft is going to require an internet connection to Ubi.com to play its PC games as it looks to protect games from piracy, reports GameSpy, where they offer details on the plan, which they liken to Valve's online authentication through Steam. This will also involve online saved games handled through the cloud and unlimited activations: "If you own a hundred PCs, you can install your games on a hundred PCs," explains Brent Wilkinson, Director, Customer Service and Production Planning at Ubisoft. They asked if Ubisoft was concerned with potential backlash from gamers concerned over being required to be online to play, but Wilkenson seems unconcerned: "We think most people are going to be fine with it. Most people are always connected to an Internet connection."

PTHS wins Bloomington Regional title
There was something special developing with Pontiac's boys' golf team a couple of years ago. It was something a parent noticed when he commented on the potential of the club down the road.
That guy's son is now one of the four seniors on a team that won a regional title.
Mark Smith had a feeling this team was destined for greatness when his was just a sophomore, and the Indians showed why Tuesday by capturing the Class 2A Bloomington Regional championship at Prairie Vista Golf Course.
The team's growth was not lost on head coach Paul Ritter.
"They are determined," Ritter said after his club fired a 309 to win by seven strokes over U-High and 13 over Lincoln, the two other teams advancing to next week's Metamora Sectional.
"Everyone was battling; 309 is a respectable number. It's something they have to be proud of," Ritter added.
Leading the charge was John Leverton, a junior who has been a scorer and also-ran this season. His medalist performance was an even 71 on the par 71 course.
Leverton's play also illustrated other factors the Indians have been able to show — balance and depth.
"Hagen LePard was low man on Saturday and he had an off day," Ritter said. "But someone stepped up. Depth is our ally."
On a day when not all the players were on their game, Leverton came in hot. So did Eric Raube.
A senior, Raube was a state-qualifier last year and is looking to help guide the entire squad the finals at the D.A. Wiebring-ISU Golf Course. Raube shot 75 as the only other Indian to break 80 on a beautiful day for golf.
The bad things about the nice day were the wind and the pin placements. The wind always seems to blow and swirl at Prairie Vista, and the pin placements on some of the holes were brutal.
"(The scores) show how difficult it was," Ritter said.
Pontiac's other two scorers were senior Trent Smith with an 80 and sophomore Kyle Eggenberger with an 83. Seniors LePard and Parker Tibbs came in with an 84 and an 86, respectively.
Three Prairie Central Hawks advanced to the sectional as individuals. Alex Duffy shot an 81 while Bryce Nowack and Clay Mallory each carded an 82.
Pontiac last won a regional in 1995 when it was held at the Elks Club.

Michael Don Bigler of Blackwell, Oklahoma, died Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013, at his home in Blackwell at the age of 53 years.
Michael Don Bigler was born on April 13, 1959, in Arkansas City, to Donald Clyde and Marilyn Kay (Mirt) Bigler. He grew up in Pratt, attending Pratt Public Schools and graduated from Pratt High School in 1977. He furthered his education by attending Wichita State University for a semester before being employed in golf course maintenance at Crestview Country Club in Wichita. He later returned to Pratt and began operating Biggs Café. After managing the restaurant for five years, he worked as a roughneck in the oil fields until an accident forced his retirement. He attended the First Christian Church in Blackwell and enjoyed playing golf.
He is survived by his parents, Don and Marilyn Bigler of Blackwell; and a brother, Charles Bigler of Chillicothe, Missouri.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents and a sister, Jana Braddick.
Services are scheduled for 11 a.m., Tuesday, Feb. 5 in the First Free Will Baptist Church in Blackwell with the Rev. Kevin Bookout officiating. Burial will follow at 2 p.m. in the Corzine Cemetery near Corbin, Kansas.
Serving as casketbearers will be Vic Purdy, John Biglar, Chas Bigler, Graham Dickinson, Wayne Purdy, and Karl Braddick.
A memorial has been established in his honor with the First Free Will Baptist Church in Blackwell in care of Roberts and Son Funeral Home, 120 W. Padon, Blackwell, Oklahoma 74631.

If the t-shirt is added to a shopping cart where Biotium reagents are being purchased, the shipping method/rate will be dependent upon the shipping/storage conditions of the Biotium reagents within the shopping cart.
Support & Faq
Product shelf life, solubility, shipping and storage, and stability
Bioscience kits
The guaranteed shelf life from date of receipt for bioscience kits is listed on the product information sheet. Some kits have an expiration date printed on the kit box label, this is the guaranteed shelf life date calculated from the day that the product shipped from our facility. Kits often are functional for significantly longer than the guaranteed shelf life. If you have an older kit in storage that you wish to use, we recommend performing a small scale positive control experiment to confirm that the kit still works for your application before processing a large number of samples or precious samples.
Antibodies and other conjugates
The guaranteed shelf life from date of receipt for antibodies and conjugates is listed on the product information sheet. Antibodies and other conjugates often are functional for significantly longer than the guaranteed shelf life. If you have an older conjugate in storage that you wish to use, we recommend performing a small scale positive control experiment to confirm that the product still works for your application before processing a large number of samples or precious samples.
For lyophilized antibodies, we recommend reconstituting the antibody with glycerol and antimicrobial preservative like sodium azide for the longest shelf life (note that sodium azide is not compatible with HRP-conjugates).
Chemicals, dyes, and gel stains
Biotium guarantees the stability of chemicals, dyes, and gel stains for at least a year from the date you receive the product. However, the majority of these products are highly stable for many years, as long as they are stored as recommended. Storage conditions can be found on the product information sheet or product safety and data sheet, material safety data sheet, and on the product label. Fluorescent compounds should be protected from light for long term storage.
If you have a Biotium compound that has been in storage for longer than one year that you wish to use, we recommend performing a small scale positive control experiment to confirm that the compound still works for your application before processing a large number of samples or precious samples.
Expiration date based on date of manufacture (DOM)
If your institution requires you to document expiration date based on date of manufacture for reagents, please contact email@example.com for assistance.
Chemical products with special stability considerations:
Ester compounds include the following:
• Succinimidyl esters (SE, also known as NHS esters), such as our amine-reactive dyes
• Acetoxymethyl esters (AM esters) such as our membrane-permeable ion indicator dyes
• Diacetate-modified dyes, like ViaFluor™ 405, CFDA, and CFDA-SE cell viability/cell proliferation dyes
Ester dyes are stable in solid form as long as they are protected from light and moisture. Esters are not stable in aqueous solution. Concentrated stock solutions should be prepared in anhydrous DMSO (see Biotium catalog no. 90082). Stock solutions in anhydrous DMSO can be stored desiccated at -20°C for one month or longer. Esters should be diluted in aqueous solution immediately before use. Succinimidyl esters (SE) should be dissolved in a solution that is free of amine-containing compounds like Tris, glycine, or protein, which will react with the SE functional group. AM esters and diacetate compounds should be dissolved in a solution that is free of serum, because serum could contain esterases that would hydrolyze the compound.
A note on CF™ dye succinimidyl ester stability
Succinimidyl esters are generally susceptible to hydrolysis, which can result in lower labeling efficiency. Heavily sulfonated dyes, such as the Alexa Fluor® dyes, DyLight® dyes and IRDyes® are particularly hygroscopic, worsening the hydrolysis problem. For example, the percent of active Alexa Fluor® 488 succinimidyl ester (SE) could be well below 50% by the time of application (according to the manufacturer's product datasheet). In a number of Alexa Fluor® SE reactive dyes, the SE group is derived from an aromatic carboxylic acid, while in all of Biotium's CF™ dyes the SE group is prepared from an aliphatic carboxylic acid. This structural difference reduces the susceptibility of CF™ dye SE reactive groups to hydrolysis, resulting in relatively stable reactive dyes with consistently higher labeling efficiency compared to other SE derivatives of other fluorescent dyes.
Maleimides, MTS and thiosulfate dyes
Like the succinimidyl ester dyes, these dyes are also susceptible to hydrolysis, although generally to a much lower degree. Thus, for long term storage, anhydrous DMSO is recommended for making stock solutions.
Other reactive dyes
Amines, aminooxy (also known as oxylamine), hydrazide, azide, alkyne, BCN, and tyramide reactive dyes, as well as dye free acids, are generally stable in aqueous solution when stored at -20°C for 6-12 months or longer, as long as no compounds are present that may react with the dye's functional group. See the product information sheets for specific reactive dyes more information.
Coelenterazines and D-luciferin
Coelenterazines are stable in solid form when stored as recommended; they are not stable in aqueous solution. Concentrated coelenterazine stock solutions (typically 1-100 mg/mL) should be prepared in ethanol or methanol; do not use DMSO or DMF to dissolve coelenterazines, because these solvents will oxidize the compounds. Ethanol or methanol stocks of coelenterazine can be stored at -20°C or below for six months or longer; alcohol stocks may evaporate during storage, so use tightly sealing screw cap vials and wrap the vials with Parafilm for long term storage. Propylene glycol also can be used as a solvent to minimize evaporation. If the solvent evaporates, the coelenterazine will still be present in the vial, so note the volume in the vial prior to storage so that you can adjust the solvent volume to correct for evaporation if needed. Prepare working solutions in aqueous buffers immediately before use. Coelenterazines are stable for up to five hours in aqueous solution.
Aquaphile™ coelenterazines are water soluble formulations of coelenterazines. They are stable in solid form when stored as recommended. Aquaphile™ coelenterazines should be dissolved in aqueous solution immediately before use. They are stable for up to five hours in aqueous solution.
Note that coelenterazines are predominantly yellow solids, but may contain dark red or brown flecks. This does not affect product stability or performance. If your coelenterazine is uniformly brown, then it is oxidized and needs to be replaced.
D-luciferin is stable in solid form and as a concentrated stock solution when stored as recommended; it is not stable at dilute working concentrations in aqueous solution. Prepare concentrated D-luciferin stock solutions (typically 1-100 mg/mL) in water, and store in aliquots at -20°C or below for six months or longer. Prepare working solutions immediately before use.← FAQs
Many of our solid compounds are packaged by lyophilization, in which case they usually do not appear as fluffy powders, but form a film or coating on the sides of the vial. Simply add the appropriate volume of the recommended solvent to the vial to make the desired concentration stock solution, and swirl or gently vortex to mix. Make sure the solvent comes in contact with the inside walls of the vial to fully recover the product.← FAQs
Most of our products are stable at room temperature for many days, but we recommend storage at 4°C or -20°C to prolong shelf life. In the case of many of our aqueous dye solutions, the compounds are very stable at room temperature, but we recommend cold storage to prevent the growth of mold or other microbes over time. Therefore, to save on shipping costs, products with recommended storage at 4°C or -20°C may ship at ambient temperature or with an ice pack. These products may thaw without affecting product performance. When you receive the product, place it under the recommended storage conditions.← FAQs
Shipping & Handling Disclaimer: Shipping and handling methods are calculated based on item temperature storage recommendation. Large, multi-item orders may be assessed additional fees. Shipping to Puerto Rico may be assessed additional fees. A Biotium customer service representative will contact you if additional fees are required. For expedited shipping, please request in the Order Notes section of the checkout page. Please note that products with recommended storage at 4°C or -20°C may ship at ambient temperature.

Have you ever watched a nature documentary where a lion or a pack of hyenas stalk another animal but they don't pounce right away?
They got to the top of the food chain by being quite smart.
These hunters watch for a long time from a distance. They crouch down, motionless in the weeds, hidden from sight. They evaluate the situation, searching for the most vulnerable target and the perfect, silent moment of attack.
I'm no wildlife expert, but I know exactly what these predators are looking for. They're singling out the animal that is inexperienced. They're focusing on the animal that is afraid or hurt, the animal that is tired, insecure, confused and alone. Often, that animal is young.
This same phenomenon occurs in the human kingdom, too. Admittedly, today in Henderson County, we aren't at much risk of turning into something's lunch, but it's still "a jungle out there," especially for teens and adolescents.
Every day, young people in our community who are alone, tired, hurt, insecure or confused are at an elevated risk of all sorts of "predators." Not the sinewy beasts of the African savanna, but threats that are more abstract — academic failure, premature sexual activity, alcohol and substance abuse, violence, juvenile crime, childhood obesity and poverty.
According to the CDC's most recent national Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 47 percent of teenagers surveyed reported being sexually active. Twenty-three percent have used marijuana, 18 percent smoke cigarettes and 38 percent drink alcohol. All of this is much more dangerous than lions, tigers or bears. It really is a jungle out there, and the club provides a critical sanctuary for kids navigating through it.
"The club gives me the opportunity to exhale," rising freshman Jasmine said of the Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County. "I feel safe and welcome here, and I get the chance to put stress and pressure on hold from 3 to 6 every day. It's somewhere that I can just be my age."
Once kids catch their breath, programs and staff meet members exactly where they are with information and strategies for outpacing those lions in the weeds. Club teen Eleanor said programs such as SMART Moves and Girl Talk, both focused on positive personal decision making, help her dodge situations that could result in serious consequences.
"I live right down the street and can look out my door and see all kinds of negative things going on," she noted. "I come to the club to keep myself out of trouble, and have positive people and staff members around. At the club, there are rules. I have to buckle down and listen, but these rules teach me the real-life survival skills that I use in life every day."
On Sept. 12, the Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County will host a safari-themed, ladies-only, completely-over-the-top tea party that champions these very real survival skills that children need to grow up safely.
This is a whimsical but powerful gathering. After all, in nature, females are notorious for their ferocity and tenacity, especially when it comes to protecting their young. Simply put, we ladies don't mess around.
"It is wonderful for teen girls at the Boys & Girls Club to know that there is a virtual army of women in this community who are out there cheering them on through all the twists and turns of growing up," remarked Chris Smith, chairwoman of the 2013 High Tea. "We're behind them every step of the way and want to help them cross that finish line as productive, caring, responsible citizens."

In July 2013 Lawrence Technological University and its College of Engineering, hosted eight faculty members from Shanghai University of Engineering and Science (SUES). While it is not unusual for educators from China to visit the campus to study the latest teaching methods practiced in the United States, this time the mission was to learn the fundamental requirements for ABET accreditation.
The SUES administration determined that to distinguish itself among engineering programs it might be beneficial to obtain accreditation from ABET, the principal accrediting body for engineering programs in the United States. Relying on the long and trusted relationship developed with Lawrence Tech, SUES representatives contacted Provost Maria Vaz for her thoughts on how to proceed. "We are so happy that our partnership with Shanghai University of Engineering and Science continues to develop in so many ways," Vaz said.
She asked the College of Engineering to create a team to develop and conduct a two-week workshop that would cover all aspects of ABET requirements, while also addressing various assessment issues. The team consisted of four accreditation veterans with significant assessment and ABET experience: Associate Professor Chris Riedel, assistant chair of the A. Leon Linton Department of Mechanical Engineering, who is the ABET coordinator for mechanical engineering and a past member of the University Assessment Committee; Civil Engineering Professor Don Carpenter, who served as the University Director of Assessment for several years; Phil Olivier, the chair of Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and an experienced ABET evaluator; and Civil Engineering Assistant Professor John Tocco, the workshop chair who serves on the University Assessment Committee and has presented at assessment conferences.
The team covered numerous ABET and assessment topics. For example, Carpenter explained the various types of learning objectives and the outcomes/objectives mapping process. Tocco discussed the importance of an industry advisory board in the creation and enhancing of curriculum. Riedel reviewed the ABET student outcomes and how they applied to engineering programs. Olivier addressed the important elements of ABET criteria, and what a program can expect from an ABET evaluation visit.
To enhance the learning experience and fully engage the participants, the workshop team utilized various pedagogical elements. For example, the participants were provided binders that included copies of all the presentations and also various examples of assessment documents and templates they could adapt to their own use. To assist with the sharing of information, the Help Desk collaborated with the team to create a canvas site for the participants to access and share workshop content and for the participants to use to upload their homework assignments.
The team members demonstrated that they took the term "workshop" seriously by requiring the participants to do more than just sit and listen to lectures. Several assignments involved the participants discussing assessment concepts in small groups, completing their tasks that evening, then reporting out to the entire group the next day. Both team members and participants would discuss and comment on the results of the assignments, creating a positive atmosphere of active/collaborative learning.
Riedel echoed the perspective of the members of the workshop team when he commented on the importance of the concepts discussed. "The SUES faculty was very receptive to learning about assessment and posed many good questions. Through understanding the ABET criteria and how Lawrence Tech's engineering curriculum complies with ABET requirements, the SUES faculty can begin to examine their programs and processes and develop their assessment plan for accreditation."
Not unexpectedly, the major challenge for the workshop team was the language barrier, especially with the nuanced and specialized assessment terminology necessary for the participants to understand the accreditation process. Although a couple of the SUES faculty possessed a working knowledge of English, the complex concepts made communication difficult. Leslie Wang, a student intern in the Office of the Dean of Students, provided tremendous support to the team and the participants. She created posters of Chinese characters with frequently used assessment and ABET terms, she interpreted questions and answers, and generally facilitated the interaction between the workshop team and the participants.
Irrespective of the language barrier, Carpenter found the experience rewarding and the participants fully engaged. "The SUES faculty were eager to learn and made good students," he said. "Overall, they grasped the ABET process, and we had interesting discussions about course and curriculum expectations in China and how they differ from the US."
It wasn't all hard work and homework for the SUES faculty, however, as they enjoyed a few decidedly American pastimes, such as gift shopping at the Great Lakes Crossing Outlet in Auburn Hills, rooting for the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park, and experiencing a bit of American history when they toured Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn.
"The opportunity to educate our Chinese guests on ABET accreditation is just an example of the trust that SUES puts on the partnership with Lawrence Tech,"Vaz said. "I am proud of the College of Engineering workshop team that represented Lawrence Tech in such a professional manner."

Teachers in the Newburg R-II School District will revisit the topic of ALICE (Alert-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate) later this month.
During the Jan. 29 school board meeting, board members were informed that on Feb. 11, teachers will take part in a professional development event and revisit the topic of ALICE training.
Newburg School Board President Jim Macormic, who is also a Rolla police lieutenant, will lead the training.
Later on this school year, he wants to bring the training to the students in the classrooms.
"Eventually, we need to meet with each teacher and each classroom and discuss with that teacher and those children their individual plan for each one. Depending on where they are, everyone is going to have a different plan," Macormic said.
Macormic has also been visiting other schools in the county to discuss similar training.
Also at the school board meeting, the board unanimously approved 2012-13 budget amendments, which includes an additional $70,364 in revenue.
Newburg Superintendent of Schools John Westerman said he had figured the basic formula funding at 90 percent for the Newburg district, but informed the board that the district actually is getting 93 percent, which amounts to an increase of $53,364 of the total increase in revenues. Amended expenses included an increase of about $44,000.
It also was noted that the initial budget approved was about $47,000 "in the red" and Westerman said, "we're still about in the same place."
He said increasing teachers' salaries shouldn't have been done. "That hurt us last year," he said. "I won't be planning a budget in the red for next year."

Teacher Melissa Austin gave a report on the Response to Intervention (RTI) program, which is showing a decrease in the number of students who need intervention with math and reading. This is the fourth year of the program in the district.
The school board unanimously approved hiring Karl Doerr as a custodian replacement.
The board approved re-establishing a position for a technology maintenance person. The board approved hiring John Hollandsworth for this position under operations and plant but he will be supervised by the technology director Bill Towns.
Also board members initially approved awarding a bid to a company for a new roof on the south high school two-story exits and ramp and the annex building walkway, but later rescinded the motion. Westerman said the board decided to advertise for sealed bids that would be opened at the February school board meeting.
At the Jan. 29 meeting, the board received two bids for the project that were not sealed — one from Double F Extension for $26,880 and one from Swindell Construction for $33,580. This project was mentioned in the ballot language for the school bond approved by voters in 2011.
An action item to consider the superintendent's contract was tabled.
The board met in closed session for personnel reasons.

The sound of a dying forest is deafening! You can literally hear the beetles gnawing the wood. You can hear the roar of the raging fires as they explode up the hillside. You can hear the crash of trees as they fall from high winds and snow loads.
Where is that forest? Right here! All areas that are called old growth and all areas that are too thick with trees, which is much of our forest in Colorado. Today, many of our forests carry approximately 10 times the number of trees that existed 200 years ago. We tend to think that what we see today is the way it always has been. Records and pictures refute that concept. The forest we are so proud of today has been developed because of how it has been used in the past. It was logged, mines were opened, it was grazed, firewood was harvested, roads to do this were constructed, water tanks and lakes were constructed.
Without this past use, we would not have the availability of water for man, wildlife, recreation, agriculture and industry, nor would we have the dense, beautiful forest of today. The aged and dying forest of early times has been replaced by a dense, growing forest that is now also becoming stagnated and beginning to die a premature death, since we have decided not to develop and manage it or use it any longer.
We have seen thousands of acres of timber burned this past summer, along with thousands of acres of beetle-killed timber, waiting for the next fire. They say there is not much that can or could have been done since there is no market for the wood. The word market is incorrect since the United States imports more softwood lumber than the entire rest of the world combined. It takes about 10,000 board feet of lumber for an average single-family house. Most of our forests contain more than that on a single acre, and we burned up thousands of acres of it this one summer.
We do currently lack the milling capacity to use what we are now wasting. Why? Simply put, it is due to self-serving and misguided efforts of pseudo-environmentalists imposing federal laws and regulations that have severely limited and even eliminated most beneficial uses of the forests and the industry that made use of the resources for our economy.
This has not been in the best interests of the forest resources and the state of Colorado. Of the thousands of acres of timber we lost this year, how much could we have used locally instead of importing it from Chile, Canada and Germany like we do?
Today, we see our lakes at an all-time low, as are the streams. We hope for a good snowpack and wet summer to come. Will that help? Some, but not to the level it should. The 10-times overdense forest is preventing much of the water from reaching the streams and lakes and ponds. In a dense pine, spruce and fir forest, approximately 45 percent of the rain and snow may never reach the ground as it is intercepted in the branches and directly evaporates. The moisture that does reach the ground is used by the trees in the growing season in the amount of 10+ gallons per tree per day, depending on actual availability of water in the soil and the species of tree. In dry years, that doesnt leave much for streams and lakes or anything else when you have an overly dense forest. Is there a correlation with our current dried-up springs, seeps, lakes and streams, with an overly dense forest?
The forage needed to sustain and improve the livestock and elk herds is greatly affected by the lack of moisture reaching the ground in the dense forest area.
Is there a solution? Certainly, but not quickly, but it must be started as soon as possible. First, we have to get off of the misconception that locking up any forest area from management and multiple uses is saving or preserving it. Just the opposite is true! Its future as a viable growing forest is being destroyed by these efforts!
Second, we must initiate development of the wood-products industry to thin out the dense areas and use the constantly dying trees for beneficial uses, thus reducing the imports, and produce employment and new wealth locally. There is the potential for biomass-fuel power generation, which would have many added benefits. There are numerous remanufactured wood products and byproducts that can be explored and developed.
We need to revitalize the livestock industrys use of the forest for cattle and sheep, which will help improve the forage and watershed protection, along with the wildlife.
As a minimum, these would begin the effort to reduce the losses from wildfires and diseases, improve watersheds, improve the local economy, improve opportunities for recreation, improve our wildlife habitat, and all, simply, as an output of revitalizing and conserving the forests for future generations.

HILLSDALE � It is one of the enduring memories for Hillsdale Academy boys golf coach Charles Blood.
Five years ago, his son Chip delivered a moment that would be a foreshadow of things to come
Competing at the varsity level as an eighth grader, Chip Blood played his way into a tie for third place at the Division 4 regional championship. He and a senior from Addison went to a playoff to determine the final individual qualifier for the state tournament.
Showing the poise of a veteran, the eighth grader won the playoff and advanced to states.
As an eighth grader.
Five years later, Blood returned to the site of his first state tournament, Michigan State University's Forest Akers East Course to cap his varsity career.
"I've had a long career, but high school golf is special and a ton of fun," Chip Blood said. "I liked that I was able to bookend my career from eighth grade to senior year at Forest Akers."
Blood earned a lot of award in between. His most recent came last week as he was named First Team All-State in Division 4 by the Michigan Interscholastic Golf Coaches Association. It was his fourth All-State honor and third time being named to the First Team.
"I think back to the regional when Chip was in eighth grade, and you could see that we were going places with him early on," Charles Blood said. "Being three-time First Team All-State is a rarity, and something as a coach and father I'm proud of. He capped his career in good fashion, and now he's going on to better things."
Along with his four All-State honors in golf, Chip also earned All-State honorable mention in both soccer and basketball during his time at Hillsdale Academy. In track, he ended his career by earning the Jennifer Beach Memorial Scholarship at this year's Area Best Meet.
During his eighth grade season, Chip Blood finished as the low-average golfer in the entire Southern Central Athletic Association, something he would accomplish each year with Hillsdale Academy. He followed his regional success by carding a two-day total of 152 and placing 23rd individually in the Division 4 state tournament.
"Qualifying for the state finals as an eighth grader and winning in a playoff helped my gain confidence," Chip Blood said. "It showed me that I could pull through in tight situations."
Now of high school age, Chip made a bigger impact with the Colts as a freshman. He qualified for states again and placed third individually. Blood collected his first All-State First Team honor that season.
As a sophomore, he placed 14th in the state tournament and received All-State honorable mention. Blood earned First Team All-State honors after placing eighth in the state meet as a junior.
Blood set the tone for his senior season in the opening match in April. Playing at Hillsdale County Club, Blood shot a 3-under par round of 32. As the season went on, it entered Blood's mind that he could be First Team All-State again.
"I had never gone that low so early in a season," he said. "I didn't think about (All-State) that much, but it was in the back of my mind a little bit. I just tried to focus on the season and the rewards would come."
After the Colts won the SCAA regular season championship, they captured both district and regional championships to make it back to the Division 4 state tournament as a team. Hillsdale Academy placed ninth, while Blood finished 11th individually.
His average nine-hole score of 37.5 this season was the lowest of his career.
"Chip continued to bring his scores down and did really well for us," Coach Blood said. "He really accomplished a lot. Chip and the team were able to bring attention to our school outside the Hillsdale area."
For Chip, it was special to have his father coaching him along the way.
"Dad taught me how to play golf and has always been around when I was competing," Chip said. "He's been with me every step of the way."
Blood will attend Notre Dame beginning this fall. Although not currently planning to play in college, Chip is considering talking to Notre Dame men's golf coach Jim Kubinski and inquiring about walking on. Blood is also considering majors in Economics or Pre Law.
"I had a great five-years of varsity golf, and I couldn't have asked for a better situation," Blood said.
Blood named to All-State First Team
