Delaware workshop details
- October 13, 2006 workshop, Carol Fitzgerald, presenter, reports:
Well, it seems the IF Workshop at Staff Development Day was very well received. I had lots of positive comments about it.
I did module 1 of the "Defending Access with Confidence" workshop. My handouts were as follows:
Learners Handouts from the workshop material -- pages LH2, LH4, LH5, LH6, LH7, LH8 and LH9
Copies of
The Bill of Rights (Amendments 1-10 of the Constitution) The following are all ALA documents: ALA Code of Ethics Library Bill of Rights Access for Children & Young Adults to nonprint materials Access to Electronic Information, Services, and Networks Freedom to View Statement The Freedom to Read The Universal Right to Free Expression
In addition, I provided a copy of the ALA Intellectual Freedom Manual to every full-time employee in every public library in Sussex County. I also sent 1-2 extra copies of the manual to each library for use by part-time employees and to have for reference copies. These books had been sent to the libraries earlier as they are very heavy.

text: Doctor of Physical Therapy Program Admissions Curriculum Accreditation Outcomes Research Labs Leadership Program The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program prepares students to be outstanding clinicians in the practice of physical therapy. Graduates of the Doctor of Physical Therapy program are prepared to, provide leadership to the profession, and use their knowledge and skills to contribute to the health care of society. As essential practitioners in the health care delivery system, physical therapists (PTs) assume roles in rehabilitation services, prevention and health maintenance programs, and professional and community programs. As professional members of the health care team, PTs supervise support personnel, serve as consultants to other health care personnel, serve as consultants to families and caregivers, participate in administrative services, and conduct clinical research. PTs also serve as advocates for health policy and standards of care that help ensure optimum care for their patients/clients. What you'll learn As a science, physical therapy examines human motion at the tissue, organ, and systems levels. In the clinical environment, PTs examine and evaluate patients/clients and implement procedural interventions that restore physical function for all people across the life span. The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) curriculum produces broadly educated physical therapists, while being sensitive to the needs of the health care community and the students' interests. The program strives to foster both intellectual and professional growth in students and is reflective of contemporary practice to prepare graduates for the ongoing changes in health care delivery. The program is a little under 3 years and the curriculum spans 11 academic quarters and consists of integrated didactic and clinical study with an emphasis on adult learning methodology. The curriculum consists of foundational courses during the first year, with subsequent quarters sequenced to progress through the hierarchy of educational objectives from simple to complex. All didactic material is organized for synthesis and application to professional practice. What makes the Drexel DPT program unique?

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a fashion monster or style guru then have a look at the T shirts and stuff that you can obtain from Inspector Gadget. Some people collect beer mats, some collect train numbers and others collect sexually transmitted diseases…but that's another matter. Me…? I collect T shirts. And you cant go far wrong with acquiring a snazzy blue 'Ruralshire Constabulary' garment. I might even have a go at producing a 'SWAB Team 6' T shirt in the near future.
Tip Top T Shirts…!!!
6 Responses to Tip Top T Shirts…!!!
I have one too.
Hmm…can I get one of those here in the Sates?
IG…cant wait to see one pop up on 'Top Gear' in the audience or somewhere.
Bernie…its better than what we get issued. The ones we get are very heavy duty t shirts that make you sweat like the proverbial.
UHDD…I never thought of that, I should have asked for commission or a discount. Watch for the postman over the next couple of days.
Mr. Nighttime…I'm not sure if IG is shipping abroad yet? Drop him a line on his site.

Justin Bieber Visits Another Cancer Stricken Fan
Justin Bieber always, always makes time for his sick fans, especially those battling deadly and chronic illnesses like cancer. The singer made sure to meet Hailey Roser, 4, in Wisconsin despite what could have been quite an obstacle.
Yesterday's (Oct. 21) shooting at a spa in nearby Brookfield nearly threatened Bieber's scheduled meeting with the little girl, due to the post-shooting lockdown that ensued in the region. But thankfully for little Hailey, her rendezvous with her favorite singer went off according to plan and without a hitch. We're so happy for her; she deserved this.
Hailey is suffering from a rare form of brain cancer, but The Biebs songs are what helps her get through her struggles and her pain. She has had six surgeries and her family approaches her difficult prognosis in day-by-day fashion.
Check out her beautiful smile in her photo with the singer? Her official handle tweeted: "@justinbieber thank u for making mine and my daddy @therealroser and my mommy @SabrinaRoser1 dream come true."
Yes, we grabbed a tissue already. The Biebs really is an amazing entertainer and he has a heart of gold, since he never, ever lets his sick fans down. It's certainly tough and emotionally devastating to go to hospitals and see precious little angels like Hailey in pain and facing terrifying diagnoses, but he puts that personal difficulty aside and goes to see to them and makes their days.

Game time: 7 p.m. today
Last meeting: North Boone 39, Genoa-Kingston 14, in Week 5 of the 2011 season
Scouting the Vikings: North Boone has put up a ton of points so far this season. The Vikings are averaging 39.6 points a game, with a lot of that offense coming from quarterback Austin Baden. During last week's 31-14 win against Harvard, Baden threw for 212 yards and ran for another 155. He had three total touchdowns.
However, North Boone's first six opponents have combined for only 10 wins so far. The Vikings have played only one team with a winning record, Byron in Week 2.
Keys to victory: The Cogs' defense needs to be able to keep Baden in check, otherwise it's going to be a long night in Genoa. G-K's offense struggled in last week's loss to Winnebago, gaining only 129 total yards and failing to score a touchdown. North Boone let teams score the first four weeks of the season, but has given up only 21 points over its past two games.
– Steve Nitz, firstname.lastname@example.com
Game time: 7 p.m. Friday
Last meeting: Alden-Hebron 44, Hiawatha 0, in Week 7 of the 2011 season
Scouting the Giants: Lackluster starts have marred the Giants' season. The penalties and missed opportunities that have plagued Alden-Hebron thwarted a possible four-game winning streak and upset bid last week in a 34-14 loss at Ottawa Marquette.
Quarterback Bryce Lalor plays with the moxie expected of a coach's son. He operates in a variety of sets. The Giants line up in the spread, a five-receiver set, the I-Formation and, for good measure, throw in an unbalanced line with two tight ends. Lalor's favorite target is Logan Yerk, who headlines a talented corps of receivers.
"He's very well coached," said Hiawatha coach Sean Donnelly about Lalor. "He is smart and takes what is in front of him. He doesn't do anything that is dangerous."
Just like their offense, the Giants' defense thrives on unpredictability. Alden-Hebron lines up in a five-man front, but constantly mixes up who stays on the line and who drops into coverage.
Keys to victory: Dreams of playoff eligibility rest on a razor's edge. Hiawatha must notch its first NAC win against Alden-Hebron to keep its chance at the 2012 playoffs alive. The Hawks' schedule once looked to ease up down the stretch, but a pair of teams that want to avoid must-win situations with 3-3 records await tonight and in Week 9.
"It's been a year of firsts," Donnelly said. "It was the first time we beat Hope. This would be our first win against Hebron since we joined the same conference. We've always needed one big play to get over the hump."
Communication will be the key for the Hawks' offensive line as it assesses which players are blitzing and which are in coverage.
"Hebron will show five guys but only two will have their hands in the dirt," Donnelly said. "We've got to figure out who is coming and keep our heads on a swivel. It all starts with the line picking up their assignments."

DeKALB (1-5, 0-2 NORTERN ILLINOIS BIG 12 EAST) AT NO. 2 MORRIS (6-0, 2-0 NI BIG 12 EAST)
Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Last meeting: Morris 42, Dekalb 17, in Week 7 of the 2011 season
Directions: Take I-88 East until the exit for Route 47 toward Waubonsie Community College. Turn right onto Route 47 and go 32 miles. Turn right on Bedford Road and drive for half a mile before turning left onto Union Street and drive for half a mile. The school will be on your right.
Scouting the Redskins: Led by a strong rushing attack and a stout offensive line, Morris has been one of the top-ranked teams in the state all season. But the defensive side of the ball is really where the Redskins have been impressive. Last week, the offense turned the ball over five times, but the defense still shut out Sycamore, which put up 49 points on the Barbs.
Keys to victory: Finding running room will be difficult for Dre Brown and Dylan Hottsmith this week. Morris is strong up front, offensively and defensively, so it might be up to quarterback Jack Sauter to open up room by picking up big chunks of yardage with his arm. Sycamore was able to force five turnovers against Morris last week, but couldn't score. An upset is only a possibility if the Barbs can rack up takeaways and Sauter and the DeKalb offensive line have a standout game.
– Anthony Zilis, email@example.com
Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Last meeting: Rochelle 21, Sycamore 16, in Round 2 of 2011 Class 5A playoffs
Scouting the Hubs: Led by junior Marquez Felix, Rochelle will try to pound out yards on the ground out of the Wing-T formation. They racked up 504 rushing yards on 54 carries against Sterling and had seven runs of 25-plus yards.
Tony Walsh provides a great complement to Felix in the backfield and will give Sycamore's defensive front yet another tough test.
Keys to victory: An early touchdown and first-quarter points on the board would be big for the Spartans offense, which has only scored six points in the past two games. If the Spartans can establish the ground game in the first quarter with Austin Culton, it should open up room on the outside for receivers Ben Niemann and David Compher.
The defense has been superb over the past two games and forced five turnovers against Morris. Once again, the key will be getting Rochelle into third-and-long situations, forcing the Hubs into double-digit pass attempts.
– Ross Jacobson, firstname.lastname@example.com
Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Directions: Merge onto I-88 East and take the IL-47 exit south. Turn right onto IL-47 South and drive 12 miles before turning right on Somonauk Street. Continue on Game Farm Road and the high school will be on your left.
Last meeting: Kaneland 45, Yorkville 7, in Week 7 of 2011 season
Scouting the Foxes: It's hard to judge Yorkville through the first six weeks of the season. Although the Foxes have looked good in three dominating nonconference wins, they've been blown out by Morris and Ottawa, and suffered a close loss to Rochelle in Week 6.
Kaneland should have its way with Yorkville's defense, which has given up a combined 85 points over the past two weeks.
Keys to victory: Kaneland exhibited exceptional balance offensively against DeKalb in a 66-23 victory last Friday. Quarterback Drew David aired it out on occasion to his play-making receivers, and Jesse Balluff racked up more than 150 rushing yards out of the backfield. Keeping that balanced play-calling most likely will result in another big offensive night for the Knights.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- It's hard to pinpoint exactly what I love about my apartment. I just love it - I say goodbye to it when I leave in the morning! I suppose more specifically, I love that it is a place where my friends like to be; I love the enormous amount of natural light it gets; I love the hardwood floors; and I love that I have a host of sparrows nesting outside my window – they make such a happy noise.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- Storage. I landed my apartment sight unseen from four states away after weeks of fruitless searching. Moving in, my first reaction was that it was small (and this despite having lived in a Parisian apartment the size of my closet). I have a lot of stuff. A LOT. And somehow I manage to accumulate even more stuff on a ridiculously frequent basis (largely thanks to the Georgetown Flea Market). So the first challenge has been finding homes for all of it. When my apartment begins to look like a used furniture store, I get ruthless and purge the house of its clutter. Inevitably, this leads to my second challenge, which is restraint (still working on that one). Oh, and budget. Apparently, I'd rather have a vintage Alvar Aalto stool than eat for a week. Go figure.

It was all tension
in the delivery room,
and you still seemed
glimpsed galaxies away,
pouring your heart out
in the automatic writing
of the foetal monitor's pen
that traced its racing.
I heard each beat
as an outside broadcast
through a squeaky speaker
live-wired to your scalp.
These electric things made
more than a potential difference
as the nurse noticed your distress.
The machine plotted nothing
and found its origin.
Shocked into memory
all I recalled was our first
virtual meeting in those
early scanning days when,
searched for like fish by sonar,
you showed up shadowy
in your secret space, waving a hand to me
that could be a plesiosaur's paddle,
a coelacanth's fin - semaphore from
an oceans away womb-home,
moon distant where you had landed.
Then, in the blink of an aeon,
you broke radio silence,
translating yourself again
into the language of graph lines.
I saw you born from water
into air as you barged
into the summer.
You were an astronaut to my eye,
space-walking from the mother ship
but blood-roped still,
already miming our every voyage.
It was the quick slow motion
of it all that lives in me -
you coming from your sea of tranquility,
washed up by the amniotic tide;
that suspended second when you looked
and held me in the forever of your face,
before you drew breath,
before you cried.

Editor: Kathleen Jones
I've just been reading Absence Notes - the first collection from Michael Woods - and this poem really stood out. It's a beautiful poem about the birth of a child from the father's point of view rather than the mother's, and that's what makes it unusual. We don't often hear about birth from a man's perspective - aren't often reminded that bonding is just important for them as it is for the mother. I like the images and metaphors, 'blood-roped' - the womb astronaut.
Several of the poems in this collection are about family relationships - Carol Ann Duffy in a review noted that it 'maps the events and connections which shape our lives - childhood, parenthood, friendship and love.' Michael is an authority on Gerard Manley Hopkins and there are echoes in some of the poems (particularly the title poem 'Absence notes') which link back to Hopkins. Apparently every collection should have at least 3 'Wow!' moments. This is definitely one of them.
Kathleen Jones is this week's Tuesday Poem editor, currently living in Italy. She is a biographer and poet, whose first collection of poetry 'Not Saying Goodbye at Gate 21' was published in November 2011. She blogs regularly at 'A Writer's Life'.

Can Lack of Sleep Lead to Carb Cravings?
By Michael A. Smith, MDCould lack of sleep cause sugar cravings? It certainly appears so. According to a 2010 study, healthy adults getting less than the recommended 8 hours of sleep a night had an increased appetite for higher carb foods and a greater risk for developing insulin resistance.1
It seems as though our sleep-deprived brains crave glucose when we're trying to recover.
Getting plenty of sleep is associated with many benefits, and we may now be able to add reduced carb cravings to the list. In short, good sleeping habits may have just become even more important.
So how can we help ensure that we get more sleep? Aside from practicing good sleeping habits, you may want to also consider milk peptides.
The Sleep-Promoting Promise of Milk PeptidesMilk peptides are a cutting-edge nutrient complex consisting of bioactive peptides found naturally in milk. Used widely in Europe to promote sustained and restful sleep patterns, published studies reveal that these bioactive milk peptides also promote relaxation, help with stress, and even help support daytime cognition.
In one study, a group of 60 women that reported a variety of sleep-related difficulties experienced as much as a 65% improvement in their symptoms with 150 milligrams of milk peptides per day.2
In another study, the same 150 milligram dose induced substantial improvements across 27 markers of sleep quality and stress response in 165 healthy adults.3 And in a third study, a group of healthy men and women taking 150 milligrams a day for one month experienced a 50% improvement in sleep quality after two weeks and needed 30% less time to fall asleep after 4 weeks.4
So maybe that old wives' tale had some merit after all — milk certainly does appear to help promote sleep, at least when we're talking about milk peptides. And if more sleep helps to ward off carb cravings, catching more zzzs may very well be in your best interest.
Do you tend to crave carbs when you're low on sleep? Have you noticed this yourself? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Scott and Jean Adam (pictured here) had their yacht Quest hijacked by Somali pirates last Friday. Also on board were Phyllis MacKay and Bob Riggle. (Recent reports say that all four were killed.) Piracy is a major problem in the unstable waters near Somalia and many people are following the story with interest. The U.S. Navy is even involved. Part of that may have to do with the recent sentencing of Somali pirate Abduwali Abukhadir Muse. When he received 34 years in prison last week, calls for retaliation were made. While almost all of the news reports mention that the Adams' yachting is part of a Bible distribution ministry, I wanted to highlight a few stories that went beyond those brief mentions with good results. First off, we have the Orange County Register, which describes the Adams' trip as "part adventure, part ministry," and visits the couple's home church in Santa Monica:
On Saturday night, parishioners said a prayer for Jean and Scott Adams [sic], who are longtime members of Saint Monica's Church in Santa Monica, said Msgr. Lloyd Torgerson.
"They are great people," he said. "They are on a mission to bring Bibles to schools, hospitals and missions They're both retired and that's what they want to do. They are faith-filled, wonderful people."
Prayers are said at every mass, we're told. If you can get through the obnoxious headline and lede of the LA Weekly blog post that calls the Adams Bible-thumping conquistadors, you learn that St. Monica's parishioners include Martin Sheen and Brooke Shields. They also link to an interesting CBN News report.
I hear that reporters who have contacted the couple's friends have had a bit of trouble with the story. That's because government employees have told associates not to discuss specifics of the couple while they're still working the case. The couple's web site (where I got the picture above) has a ton of information, however.
While these Somali pirates are nominally Muslim, they are not engaged in piracy as part of a religious campaign. The Associated Press clarified that in their report on the hijacking:
The Adams ... run a Bible ministry, according to their website, and have been distributing Bibles to schools and churches in remote villages in areas including the Fiji Islands, Alaska, New Zealand, Central America and French Polynesia.
The Adams carry both Catholic and Protestant versions of the Bible, and at several different reading levels. The couple stamps the bibles with "A GIFT from your friends in the United States. Quest Bible Ministry. NOT FOR SALE," after discovering a teacher who they gave Bibles to sold them.
The pirates from Puntland are not hardline Islamists and the fact the Adams carry Bibles is not likely to be a problem. Pirates in Puntland are known to spend their ransom spoils on alcohol, drugs and prostitutes.
I'd almost forgotten there might be a religion angle on the other side of the piracy story. AP did a good job of including a detail that many other people probably were curious about.

STOCKTON - Stockton's police force is growing, violent crime is on the decline, and the sense of fear that gripped large swaths of San Joaquin County in recent years has begun to subside, community leaders affirm.
STOCKTON - Stockton's police force is growing, violent crime is on the decline, and the sense of fear that gripped large swaths of San Joaquin County in recent years has begun to subside, community leaders affirm.
Homicides were down 54.9 percent and violent crimes decreased by 21.9 percent in Stockton in 2013, according to statistics released by the Stockton Police Department. Law enforcement officials, civic leaders, business leaders and community members agree there is more work to do, but they said the perception of public safety is improving in Stockton and surrounding communities throughout the county.
"The perception has changed," Downtown Stockton Alliance Chief Executive Officer Leandro Vicu�a said. "There's a bigger sense of security in light of the changes that have happened over the past year. We're trending in the right direction, and that's exactly what Stockton needs."
Vicu�a and other community members credited local, state and federal law enforcement agencies for their efforts to fight an epidemic of violence after Stockton set city records with 58 homicides in 2011 and 71 in 2012. Some cite the implementation of Operation Ceasefire, the creation of the Community Response Team and other multiagency law enforcement missions. Others point to smaller initiatives such as the return of officers who patrol downtown Stockton streets on bicycles.
"The Downtown Stockton Alliance was the agency that paid for two fulltime bike patrol officers to canvas all of downtown, and they were doing an excellent job," Vicu�a said. "With the addition of two additional bike patrol officers, funded by the City of Stockton, we put together an excellent and comprehensive canvassing of the entire downtown area.
"Downtown business owners have been very pleased with the additional coverage and the reduction of loitering, panhandling and assaults. The fact that those have been reduced has led to a heightened sense of public safety. Obviously, when those things occur, it disrupts business, and when you see less of that, business begins to thrive more," he said.
Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones agreed that crime can be bad for businesses.
"We as a police department know that two things really play into how safe people feel within their community: No. 1, the actual crime that occurs; and No. 2, but probably an even bigger factor, is their perceptions of safety and security. Regardless, actual and perceived fear is very important, and we recognize that public safety has a big role in that. We also recognize that a safe community brings more business to an area and helps with economic development."
Jones noted that he and his staff attend many community meetings, including meetings held by Neighborhood Watch groups, the Downtown Stockton Alliance, the Stockton Business Council and the South Stockton Merchants Association, among others.
Jones said many business leaders have expressed concerns about quality-of-life issues such as blight, drug sales and prostitution. Jones plans to hire 120 new officers over the next three years, following the recent passage of Measures A and B, which will allow the Police Department to address those issues as part of its three-year strategic plan, Jones said.
"I hear more often than not that people feel safer, but I also hear from the business community about frustrations with property crime and quality-of-life issues," Jones said. "That is a primary reason why we're really looking forward to rolling out our three-year strategic plan and, in particular, our Neighborhood Blitz teams, which are really going to go into neighborhoods and address those quality-of-life issues."
South Stockton Merchants Association President Mark Stebbins isn't convinced that more officers will result in less crime, but he believes quality-of-life improvements will help.
"I'm more interested in the economic conditions of people in Stockton and literacy and things like that, and also programs which are positive in terms of putting people in better life situations," Stebbins said. "Those are things that will lead to less crime and a better business environment, and a better business environment is oftentimes part and parcel to less crime."

where Fred decided he was going to "Dig to Australia".
He was quite cross when we announced that we had to go home after our first visit because his hole wasn't big enough
so it really made us laugh when we found this hole
only 20 metres away from where he had been digging
this hole was MUCH closer to Australia!
So last night he started digging again whilst I found a new way to get sand in my socks...............
He then decided to sit down in the sea - in his school uniform - and then thought it was a good idea to ROLL his very wet self in the sand!
And finally he decided to stop digging his hole and start burying himself instead.
Honestly, he's worse than a puppy!
(and just as cute!)

Holiday help:
MANHATTAN -- Sitting down to a big Thanksgiving dinner can be quite intimidating for a child who might be questioning which fork to pick up first or which direction to pass the rolls.
According to Pat Pesci, director of Kansas State University's hotel and restaurant management program and known as K-State's "Mr. Manners," there are several ways parents can help prepare their children for proper etiquette at a Thanksgiving dinner.
A practice dinner would be ideal, Pesci said, but it may be unrealistic as today's families are so busy. However, just talking about the event with your kids can be helpful -- just don't do so too far in advance or younger children might not understand or might forget what you told them, he said.
"Talking about it in the car on the way to Thanksgiving dinner and setting some rules or expectations for the child can be very positive," Pesci said. "As a parent, tell other adults at the gathering that your kids might need some help during the meal so the kids are not embarrassed to ask for help. Also, tell your kids to slow down with their food, ask questions and follow an adult's lead."
Kids also should be encouraged to ask if they can do anything to help, whether it is setting the table, decorating the house or helping in the kitchen, Pesci said.
"While sometimes the adults like taking care of it all, it is good practice for kids to start offering to help -- and it also impresses grandma," he said.
When it is time for the meal to start, Pesci said children should ask the host where they are supposed to sit. After sitting down, they should pick up their napkin, which usually will be located on their left, and place it on their lap.
When children see their place setting, they might be a little intimidated if there is more than one fork or a small plate and a large plate. Knowing what these items are for is confusing to children -- and some adults, too, Pesci said.
"It is perfectly OK for the child to ask for help," he said. "If they don't know which fork to use or the platter of turkey is to heavy for them to pass, kids should not be afraid to ask for help. Somebody will be there to instruct them."
When it comes to passing food, the person closest to the food passes it to the right at the start of the meal, Pesci said. The salad should be passed first. If a child wants a salad, the salad plate should be located to their right above the spoon. If two forks are at the place setting, the outside fork is the one they should use to eat their salad, he said.
Another issue for children is there might be food at Thanksgiving that they are unaccustomed to. Pesci said the correct thing to do is ask what is in it, and take a small sample.
"It would be impolite for a child to say 'I don't like this' or 'this doesn't taste good' when somebody at the table put a lot of work into cooking the meal," Pesci said. "Kids don't have to try all the food offered, but they should eat a variety."
Once the meal has started it is important for kids to remember to eat slowly. Often times, kids are in a rush to finish their meal, but for a special occasion like Thanksgiving, people are at the table to talk, share stories and enjoy each other's company, so it might last longer than a normal meal, Pesci said.
"Sometimes kids, especially teenagers, go to these meals and try to eat as fast as possible," Pesci said. "I always tell them to slow down -- it is not a race."
It is no secret that kids have growing bodies and often will dig in for seconds. Pesci said asking for seconds is OK, but there are some guidelines to follow.
"You don't want to be asking for seconds when the rest of the table hasn't even finished half their meal yet," Pesci said. "This goes back to the reason why kids should take their time while eating."
Pesci also offered these general rules for kids -- and adults -- to follow at Thanksgiving dinner:
* No hats at the dinner table;
* No chewing with your mouth open;
* No talking with food in your mouth; and
* No talking or texting on your cell phone at the dinner table.
When the meal is over, kids should offer to help cleanup, whether it is picking up the napkins and silverware from the dinner table or taking out the trash. The adults who prepared the meal will be very appreciative of this, Pesci said.

CYE Hosts Youth Leadership Summit
Top HeadlinesDate: November 1, 2010
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Website: http://www.adventistyouth.org/
The Center for Youth Evangelism (CYE) provided training for youth leaders, pastors, children's ministry leaders and Pathfinders during the annual Youth Leadership Summit held October 22–24, 2010. The Center celebrated its 30th anniversary weekend during the event while hosting some 250 participants from across the country.
This year's summit began Friday with hour-long seminars taking place all day in the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University. Leaders from the CYE, Seventh-day Adventist conferences and Andrews University led out in a series of meetings directed towards youth ministry leaders and specialists. The sessions covered a wide range of topics and continued all day Saturday and Sunday morning.
Nicholas Zork, director of the Andrews University Music & Worship Conference, was one such leader who presented during the event. He led out in several worship ministry sessions and described worship as a time where, "We tell God's story through Scripture." He offered practical advice for planning worship services and identified specific ways "to interweave God's story with young people in worship."
The information was especially helpful to Luvisca Payne, an Andrews graduate and current ministry leader from Naples, Fla. Payne explained, "I teach my young people on Sabbath mornings and they bring their pens and notebooks, and they think it [Sabbath School] is boring. I was really interested in what Mr. Zork said about the disconnection between the speaker and the youth."
Tim Nixon, Andrews University chaplain for Inreach, also led out in several meetings and presented on the topic "Mentoring 101."
"One thing I really appreciated about that [Mentoring 101] session was how much the training is actually needed. It's not a topic we talk about a lot," said Andy Arends, student at the Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary. "We learned about biblical contexts mentoring and effective principles of mentoring, and how to actually train people. This is something we really need in our churches. It's nice to get a fresh perspective on some of it and hear new ideas."

Other topics such as Child Development, Leadership Skills, Conflict Management and Outdoor Education were also addressed during the weekend meetings. In total, over 50 hours of training seminars were offered during the event, including a new Spanish track, which was introduced for the first time this year.
"I hope that the people who came for the seminars left not only having a better understanding of what they're doing and why they're here but also of practical ways to put them to use," said Keren Toms, Andrews University chaplain for Outreach. "... Hopefully through the seminars that spirit can be revived in people and they can be refreshed, educated and full of new ideas."
This summit was organized by Craig Harris, associate youth director for the Michigan Conference; Massiel Davila, assistant director for Youth Leadership Development; and Japhet De Oliveira, director of the Center for Youth Evangelism. The Lake Union Conference Youth and Young Adult Department also partnered in the event.
Organized for the first time in 1981, various youth ministry training seminars were among the first programs offered at the Youth Resource Center. Under the leadership of former Youth Resource Center director Des Cummings Jr. (1979–1985), the meetings have expanded to reach hundreds of ministry leaders each year, teaching them the "how-to's" of youth ministry through practical training sessions. It was renamed the Center for Youth Evangelism in 1996 and today Youth Leadership Development is just one of several training and outreach opportunities offered at the CYE. To learn more about the CYE or CYE events, visit www.adventistyouth.org.
The Center for Youth Evangelism is a training and resource center for claiming, training and reclaiming youth and young adults for Jesus Christ. It is located on the campus of Andrews University as part of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary.

Talk:Forensic corpora
From ForensicsWiki
We seem to be going back and forth on the indenting structure. I think we should follow the Wikipedia style guidelines for headings (for lack of a counterexample). That calls for top level headings on each page to use the two equals signs, not one. This is to avoid confusion with the page title. What do you think? Jessek 11:34, 15 April 2007 (PDT)

Have you noticed an increase in wasps around your home? Even though it's common to see more wasps during this time of the year, homeowners in some areas are noticing an enormous spike in the local wasp population. The pests threaten the safety of some residents who are sensitive to stinging insects.
While exterminators in some areas used to receive several calls about wasps over the course of an entire summer, they're now getting up to five calls per day. The enormous population is most likely due to the mild winters many parts of the country experienced, combined with the drought currently sweeping through parts of the nation. The large wasp populations are expected to remain a problem until severe storms or the first frost of the season.
Recognizing a problem
If you've noticed an increase in the number of wasps around your home, you may have a pest control issue on your hands, so it's a good idea to make sure there isn't a nest or infestation nearby. Even if you don't fear the pests, young children and pets may annoy the insects and cause them to sting. This can cause a dangerous reaction in those allergic to wasp venom.
There are several different types of wasps that can cause problems for homeowners. Yellowjackets tend to be extremely territorial and may attack when disturbed. They sometimes build their nests in the ground, so they may be hard to detect. Filling cavities and holes upon discovery can ensure the wasps do not have a place to nest in your yard.
Hornets are extremely defensive and unpredictable wasps, and their presence can be dangerous. If you've noticed a large ball attached to your tree or home, you may have a hornet infestation.
Even though paper wasps are not as aggressive as yellowjackets and hornets, their presence can still be unpleasant. These wasps usually build papery nests under ledges, near doors or around windows. Their close proximity to entry points means they can easily gain access to the home.
When to call a professional
It's important to keep an eye on your wasp problem to note if it's worsening. Because these pests tend to become more aggressive as the season continues, a growing population may mean an even bigger threat to kids and pets. Eliminating a nest yourself can be dangerous, and homeowners who want to take care of a wasp problem themselves should be aware of the potential risks. If you see an increase in size or territorial behavior, the safest and most efficient option may be to contact a pest control expert.

If you've never made a set of the Platonic solids from paper, perhaps it's time to try it. These shapes are the foundation for many aspects of three-dimensional design. Here is a set made with open faces, but the openings are strictly optional. You can just cut out regular polygons and tape them together so every vertex is identical, e.g., putting five triangles at each vertex leads to the icosahedron.
After mastering the five Platonic solids, there is a world of more complex models to explore. The polyhedron below consists of twelve regular pentagons and twenty (very slightly irregular) hexagons. It is made by cutting out paper polygons and taping them together on the inside. This design is often confused with the truncated icosahedron shape that is well known because of its use as a soccer ball. But this shape is the truncated rhombic triacontahedron. To see the difference, notice that there are some vertices here with three hexagons and no pentagon, but in a soccer ball there is one pentagon and two hexagons at each vertex.
And if you become engaged in discovering the world of polyhedra, you will encounter the many additional families, including the stellated icosahedron below. Their intricacies can be quite a challenge to make from paper, especially when some components meet just at points. I made the model below over thirty years ago, starting from a template in the book Polyhedron Models by Magnus Wenninger. If you want your models to last this long, be sure to use acid-free paper.

text: State Budget Cuts to California State University Continue to Impact System's Ability to Serve Students 2/19/2009 Page Image Image Caption Page Content (February 20, 2009) – The California State University will face an increasingly challenging fiscal situation over the next 17 months and beyond as a result of the budget package passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today. The budget reduces state general fund support to the CSU for the current fiscal year, 2008-09, by $97.6 million, and calls for an additional $66.3 million cut for 2009-10. Overall, the reduction places CSU $283 million below its operational needs, or approximately 10 percent. Also, the 2009-10 budget includes an additional $50 million cut to the CSU, depending on the size and scope of the federal stimulus package. "While we recognize the severity ofthe state's fiscal crisis, the budget does not provide the resources the system needs to meet the needs of our students and fund our operations," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "This will impact our ability to maintain quality and services for our 450,000 current students, and we have already been forced to reduce incoming student enrollment levels for this fall." This is the second year in a row the CSU has received no funding for enrollment growth or increased operational costs such as energy and health benefits. CSU is already serving 10,000 students for whom the state provides no funding. As a result, the system has been forced to reduce enrollment levels by 10,000 this fall to align with student funding provided by the state. As the CSU prepares the majority of California's workforce in key industries including nursing, agriculture, business, public administration and technology, the budget cuts will have a direct impact on the state's economy and limit CSU's ability to provide graduates for these key areas. ### About the California State University The California State University is the largest system of senior higher education in the country, with 23 campuses, approximately 450,000 students and 46,000 faculty and staff. Since the system was created in 1961, it has awarded nearly 2.5 million degrees, about 90,000 annually. Its mission is to provide high-quality, affordable education to meet the ever-changing needs of the people of California. With its commitment to excellence, diversity and innovation, the CSU is the university system that is working for California. Want to Learn More?

Motor vehicle traffic collisions have more far-reaching effects than just on those individuals who are directly involved. The economic consequences to society as a whole can equal tens of billions of dollars in lost productivity, medical costs, and personal problems such as substance abuse or depression that can follow serious crash-related injuries.
The mission of the City of Redmond's Targeted Safety Improvement Program is to identify existing and potential traffic safety problem areas and implement projects to reduce crashes, injuries, deaths, and their related losses through pro-active collision prevention, reactive collision response, and multi-modal safety consistent with the TMP.
Once the list of potential projects is assembled, each project is ranked individually using a matrix to evaluate risk (assigns values to the level of severity of the collision and the likelihood of its reoccurrence) and project complexity/cost (assigns values to how complex a project is to complete and to dollar ranges of cost to implement).
On December 9, 2014, staff updated the City Council on TSIP projects, and asked for direction on projects proposed for the 2015-2016 biennium. This Council Study Session provides an overview of the program, a listing of previously approved TSIP Projects, and a listing of proposed projects for 2015-2016:

PARTRIDGE, Kan. (AP) Cattle, deer, even the occasional horse are all known to create road hazards in Kansas. But it was a flying turkey that did in one driver's windshield.
The Reno County sheriff's office says a 65-year-old Larned man suffered minor injuries around 9 a.m. Monday when the big bird crashed through the windshield of his SUV. The turkey landed in the man's lap, then moved over to the lap of his passenger.
KWCH-TV reports the turkey did not survive the crash. The male motorist was treated at the scene for minor cuts and glass in his eyes.
The accident happened on U.S. 50 in Partridge, about 12 miles southwest of Hutchinson.

Human Skeletal Remains Found near NM Tech Research Area
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, Aug. 29, 2007 - Human skeletal remains, including a skull, which were recently found in a secluded area near a New Mexico Tech research facility, may be those of missing Socorro resident who disappeared almost ten years ago.
Investigators are now saying that forensic evidence found at the scene indicate that the bones are likely those of Brian Darling, a 28-year-old Socorroan who was enrolled as a full-time student at New Mexico Tech at the time of his disappearance on November 17, 1997.
More at:
The human remains, along with remnants of clothing, shoes, a backpack, and a firearm, were found on Monday, August 27, by New Mexico Tech Campus Police, after a preliminary search of an area located about four miles northwest of Socorro. The search was conducted just outside the boundaries of the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center's (EMRTC) 45-square-mile field testing site.
New Mexico Tech Campus Police searched the area after a Tech student who was mountain-biking in the vicinity on Sunday found a wallet and reported her discovery to police officers stationed at a nearby checkpoint.
"The State Office of the Medical Investigator currently is conducting a full investigation to positively determine the identity of the deceased and the cause of death," said Billy Romero, associate director of the New Mexico Tech Campus Police.
