I woke up naked, alone and found panties next to my bed.
so this happened to me a few days ago. on thursday, i went to coney island and my neck decided to get a pinched nerve by just turning to the right. i spent the whole day getting drunk and avoiding the pain. my friend who's visiting from portland and i sat on the beach and she said that we should go in the water. we went in half way and dared me to go all in and i didn't want to because coney island water is disgusting but i was drunk, so fuck it. she then took off her clothes and went in too. i was thinking to myself wow, that's pretty awesome and holy shit her tits are amazing. then we sat on the rocks and put our clothes back on before the beach patrol came around and told us that the beach was closed.
cut to the next day, my neck is still super fucked and i decided to get a massage, that didn't help much... cut to saturday morning. my neck still hurt so i took 2 pain killers that my friend gave me when i was oh so broken hearted, that i've left on my bookshelf for months. my friend said, you really shouldn't be taking 2 of those and i said hey man whatever it's cool! i took it and we went to brunch and i felt myself slipping. we walked home and we watched a movie. i said i needed to take a nap. that nap took 7 hours. i stayed up and drank with her on my fire escape and watched spring breakers.
we were supposed to go to williamsburg but i was passing out like crazy so i said i should just stay home.
during the night, i think i remember something happening at night and my dog was barking but i paid no attention because i was really tired.
the next morning, i woke up drowsy as fuck, naked and there are sweatpants and panties next to my bedside. i went and checked on my friend she there she was on my couch bed with her underwear intact... so what the fuck happened? i didn't ask her because i felt it might be awkward. i guess i'll ask her in a few days. she's back in portland now.
was i molested? did i finally black out? i did the smell check and i think it was fine... did i bone and not know i boned?

Whatchya listening to MOC?
Been listening to this a lot while MOC was down -- they toured with Joan of Arc apparently, and they've got that super midwest mathy nostalgic sound.

MOC needs a new pair of shoes
went to my first casino earlier; walked in with $40 and left with $15
Hey man, at least you left with something.
Enough to buy some booze to make me forget I wasted perfectly good money.
Nah...I did have a good time. I played all the Pop Culture themed slots.
Did they have the KISS slot machine?? And did you become a member of the KISS army? Because that happens when you win the jackpot, and its fucking sweet.
i like to just think of it as a grown up arcade, but instead of winning tickets, you get actual money.
and yes you waste money at an arcade too, pinball machines and street fighter never gave you tickets
Playing Asteroids or Centipede or Street Fighter gave you that searing adrenaline rush each time though. And there were always people watching you play.
I wish..
They had:
Lord of the Rings
The Walking Dead (season 1-2)
Iron Man 2
70s Willy Wonka
Back To The Future (my personal favorite)
I only play the Dolly Parton slot machine.
I go to the Citizen Pottawatomie Nation clinic near the CPN Grand Casino in Shawnee, OK. In OK we have a lot of casinos. I usually take this for granted because I hate throwing my hard earned money away on an empty promise. But there is something alluring to these places, I have to admit.
Last week Olivia and I had a doctor appointment (we always go together) and after we thought it might be fun to play a few slots. We didn't win anything but the thrill of "Maybe I'll strike it big" was still hidden there somewhere in the back of my mind. I was really hoping, best case scenario, that I would win $30 or so and take her to the buffet for lunch as a treat to ourselves. We ate at the buffet anyway but I think it would have tasted even better if it had been free.
I played the Ghostbusters slot for a minute and that one was a lot of fun.
Lottery only became legalized in Oklahoma in the past few years. It's been interesting to see how it has affected the state. They said in the campaigning leading up to the vote on whether to bring lotto to the state or not that the money would go to schools. I can't say that's happened as much as everyone wanted to believe. I don't really know where the money is going.
I have only played a couple of times, but again there was that sort of fun, "What if" moment.

Concert for Needy
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Plainview is known for its great acoustics and has been home a wide range of concerts over the years.

The band takes the stage at Heckscher Park on Friday, July 20 at 8:30 p.m. The Campbell Brothers present a compelling, rich variety of material from the African-American Pentecostal repertoire with a new twist: the growling, wailing, shouting, singing and swinging voice of the steel guitar as you've never heard it before. The band performs at Heckscher on Saturday, July 21 at 8:30 p.m.
Children's Festival and Safety Day
Face painting, food & refreshments, bring your bike and ride in the Massapequa bike club rodeo, bouncies, entertainment, The Magic and Comedy of Jim McClenahan (1:45-2:30 p.m. and 3-3:45 p.m.), safety displays.

400g/14oz fresh strawberries, hulls removed, cut in half, plus extra to serve
100ml/3½fl oz marsala wine
1 tbsp icing sugar, plus extra to serve
butter, for greasing
75g/2¾oz caster sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda, sifted
200g/7oz mascarpone cheese
125ml/4½fl oz cold ready-made custard
1 vanilla pod, split, seeds scraped out
200g/7oz chopped biscotti, to serve
Set four strawberry halves aside as a garnish, then place the remaining strawberry halves into a bowl and cover with the marsala wine and icing sugar. Cover the bowl with cling film and set aside for one hour to macerate.
Meanwhile, for the honeycomb, lightly grease a baking tray with butter, then set aside.
In a deep-sided pan, warm the sugar and golden syrup over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Increase the heat to medium and continue to heat the mixture, without stirring, for 5-10 minutes, or until it has thickened and darkened in colour slightly and has formed a caramel.
Remove the pan from the heat, add the bicarbonate of soda (be careful as the mixture will foam up rapidly) and stir until smooth and well combined.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking tray and set aside to cool. Once it has completely cooled and hardened, break the honeycomb into chunks.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the mascarpone, custard and vanilla seeds together until well combined.
To serve, sprinkle half of the chopped biscotti into the bottom of four serving glasses or wine glasses. Spoon over half of the macerated strawberries, then sprinkle over half of the honeycomb pieces. Spoon over half of the mascarpone and custard mixture. Repeat the process once more to fill the glasses. Garnish each glass with a reserved strawberry half, then dust with icing sugar.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

ON REDEFINING THE BOUNDARIES OF ANIMAL OWNERSHIP: BURDENS AND BENEFITS OF EVIDENCING ANIMALS' PERSONALITIES (pdf file - 115.37 KB)
What is it about the law's archaic perception of animals that makes it falter on the brink of constructing a modern concept of animal ownership? Were animals as personalty appreciated in their fundamental distinctions from other personal properties, the law might be able to fashion a more sophisticated set of legal responsibilities for, and rewards of, such ownership. Progress toward achieving that refinement requires the law to embrace a set of related concepts: that animals can and do have personalities, as well as that evidence rules allow those personalities to be manifested through testimony in civil actions concerning an animal's intent. As evidence doctrines on character and propensity expand and contract to address boundaries for these concepts, a fuller potential for property law may be effectively promoted as a result. Burdens (such as the new tort of negligent confinement) and benefits (such as a more reasoned acceptance of animal expression) await.

SUSE Manager 1.7 Released
SUSE announces the release of SUSE Manager 1.7 – the latest version of its systems management solution for enterprise Linux environments.
According to the announcement, SUSE Manager's capabilities help enterprises comprehensively manage SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers with a single centralized solution.
Version 1.7 includes flexibility and compliance enhancements that help customers grow their Linux deployments while reducing management effort. It helps reduce both the total cost of ownership and complexity of managing Linux systems while improving compliance with corporate policies and external regulations.
Other new features include a standard approach to maintaining the security of enterprise systems (OpenSCAP), from auditing the status of software patches to confirming that servers have the latest security updates and security configuration settings. It also proactively watches for signs of certain security compromises.
SUSE Manager 1.7 now includes support for the open source PostgreSQL database and for IPv6 addresses. Additionally, the new version is aligned with the latest version of the open source project Spacewalk, which, according to the company, makes it the only Linux server-management solution built to handle both SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. SUSE Manager 1.7 is now available for download.

Love Letters Candy Dishes Style 14-0010 5 6
Love the candy dishes I love the candy dishes that I purchased for my candy buffet for my wedding...I did have one letter that was shipped to me broken but David's Bridal handle the situation very quickly and efficiently. They replaced the letter without any problems or issues. Awesome product and company. June 22, 2014
Small The candy dishes are small and it is hard to scoop candy out unless you use your hand. Do not think about having gum balls or any candy of that size because they will not fit. February 20, 2014
Smaller than I thought Even though the size says 6" high, the picture makes it looks way bigger. Prepare there are kinda small. It's cute but small. February 7, 2014
Cute but small We are using those for our conference -- to spell out our conference name. They appear to be about 6 inches tall - cute, but I don't think they are that functional for serving candy. They are more for a display. Nicely designed... have some weight to them. January 16, 2014

Dudes don't drink diet. That's the idea behind Dr. Pepper Ten, a 10-calorie soft drink Dr Pepper Snapple Group is rolling out on Monday with a macho ad campaign that proclaims "It's not for women."
The soft drink was developed after the company's research found that men shy away from diet drinks that aren't perceived as "manly" enough.
To appeal to men, Dr. Pepper made its Ten drink 180 degrees
different than Diet Dr. Pepper. Ten has calories and sugar unlike
its diet counterpart. Instead of the dainty tan bubbles on the diet
can, Ten will be wrapped in gunmetal grey packaging with silver

They got something better than that prized gold star, they earned a Blue Ribbon.
Fairmont Elementary School was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education this week as a Blue Ribbon School — which recognizes schools with large populations of at-risk students who are either achieving high scores or seeing big improvement in test scores.
Fairmont is one of 286 schools across the country to earn the recognition. Michelle Day, director of elementary education for the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School Corp., said the students and staff worked hard to earn the designation, but the staff also makes a personal investment in the students.
"When you go there, they are phenomenal people," Day said. "They care so much about their kids in that community. The principal has been there her entire career except for one year and it feels like family to her."
The award goes to schools that have at least 40 percent of their student population on free and reduced lunch. About 91 percent of the school's population meets the criteria.
Also, more than 20 percent of the students are English Language Learners, with five languages aside from English spoken in its hallways — Spanish, Japanese, Gujarati, Amharic and Urdu.
But in spite of the diverse backgrounds of the students, the scores of the students have been on the rise for the last several years. In 2009, just more than 49 percent of the students passed the English/language arts portion of ISTEP+.
By 2011, those scores soared to about 89 percent passing.
"Our children are at different levels of being ready to learn," Day said. "We work with all kids and we want all of them to learn at high levels. Some come in ready and others aren't as ready. When you look at those subgroups, they're not as ready to learn. That's not true in every case, but typically, they're all at different learning levels."
With students who come in trying to learn English, she said the instructors use a multitude of strategies to help them to gain fluency. She said while technology helps, sometimes taking extra time on even simple lessons helps reach them.
In a press release, NA-FC Superintendent Bruce Hibbard said the school worked hard to make the gains they made in the last few years.
"We are very proud of the students, staff and leadership team," Hibbard said in the release. "Fairmont was one of the first schools that implemented the three big ideas of a professional learning community. They are focused on learning, collaboration and results. The school community is so deserving of this award."
Though the school's ISTEP+ scores slipped back this year, Day said they'll continue working hard to make sure students are learning.
Day said along with the adoption of district-wide ideas, such as becoming a professional learning community, implementing common formative assessments and other measures, the staff works hard to make sure students are learning what they need to learn.
But she said the uninterrupted blocks of instruction — 90 minutes each for literacy and math — teachers are helping students catch up to their grade level and accelerate beyond that.
"They're relentless in that they want what's best for their kids," Day said. "If they don't get it the first time, they find another way to teach it. They never give up. That focus on learning wasn't just about the teaching, it was about what the kids are learning. They're not at all OK with half their kids passing the state assessment."
Day said with all the effort the entire school and surrounding community has put in, she's glad to see the award go to the school.
"We are beyond thrilled and proud of the efforts of the staff, students and families," Day said. "Fairmont is a wonderful school that is so deserving of this recognition."

By Ralph D. Russo
The Associated Press
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — There were some dark days at Notre Dame and Alabama, dark years really, during which two of college football's proudest programs flailed and foundered.
Notre Dame won the national championship in 1988, then spent much of the next two decades running through coaches — four if you count the guy who never coached a game — and drifting between mediocre and pretty good.
Alabama won the national championship in 1992, then spent the next 15 years running through coaches — four if you count the guy who never coached a game — and drifting between mediocre and pretty good.
As the 21st century dawned, the Fighting Irish and the Crimson Tide were old news, stodgy remnants of a glorious past, not moving fast enough to keep up with the times, and searching for someone to lead them back to the top.
"It parallels Notre Dame to a tee," said Paul Finebaum, who has covered Alabama as a newspaper reporter and radio show host for more than 30 years. "The attitude was 'We're Alabama. We don't have to do what others are doing. We'll win because of our tradition.' Finally everyone passed Alabama."
And Notre Dame.
Then along came Nick Saban and Brian Kelly to knock off the rust, fine tune the engines and turn the Crimson Tide and Fighting Irish into the sharpest machines in college football again.
No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Alabama meet Monday night in Miami in a BCS championship between two titans not all that far removed from tough times.
"The pendulum swings," said former Alabama coach Gene Stallings, the last Tide coach before Saban to bring home a national title. "You don't stay good forever. You don't stay bad forever."
Of course, Alabama and Notre Dame fans aren't real comfortable with the first part of that statement. The Crimson Tide and Fighting Irish were perennial national championship contenders for decades.
For Alabama, replacing Bear proved difficult. Paul Bryant won six national championships in 25 years as the coach in Tuscaloosa, and when he stepped down the Crimson Tide felt compelled to bring back one of his boys to replace him. Ray Perkins was hired away from the New York Giants, and spent four years at Alabama before going back to the NFL.
Alabama tried going outside the family and hired Bill Curry. He lasted three years, before leaving for Kentucky.
"You follow somebody like Coach Bryant, it's an extremely difficult situation," Stallings said.
Stallings played for Bryant at Texas A&M, coached under him at Alabama and even sounded a bit like the Bear with his baritone drawl. He found success and relative peace in seven seasons as coach of the Tide.
"I told Coach Bryant stories. I wasn't in competition with Coach Bryant," Stallings said. "I think that's one of the reasons I was, quote, accepted by the Alabama people."
After Stallings left in 1996, things started to get ugly at Alabama. School leaders tried again to keep their most highly prized job in the family, hiring Mike DuBose, a former defensive lineman for Bryant. That didn't work, so Alabama swung the other direction by hiring Dennis Franchione, who skipped town after two seasons for Texas A&M, and Mike Price, who brought a whole new level of embarrassment to Alabama. Not long after he was hired away from Washington State, Price was fired after a night of drunken partying became public.
Alabama reverted back to old form, going with one of its own in former Tide quarterback Mike Shula. Like DuBose, he wasn't up to the task. On top of everything else, the NCAA slammed Alabama, wiping all its victories from the 2005 and '06 seasons off the books.
"The program lost its compass," Finebaum said.
When it came time to hire another coach in 2006, Alabama courted Saban and Steve Spurrier. Spurrier wasn't interested and Saban had an NFL season to finish. When the Tide was turned down by Rich Rodriguez, who opted instead to stay with West Virginia, it was rock bottom.
"It was the darkest moment I can ever remember in Alabama history," Finebaum said. "Alabama fans gave up that day.
As it turned out, it was one of the best things to ever happen to Alabama.
"You've got to have some luck," Stallings said.
As luck would have it, Saban was ready to get back to college football.
For Notre Dame, it is a similar tale. Lou Holtz won that championship in 1988 and made the Fighting Irish a regular title contender, but by the end of his tenure, Notre Dame started to slip and the people in charge were resistant to the types of changes needed to keep up with the competition.
The Irish promoted Bob Davie to take over for Holtz. In five seasons he never won more than nine games and went 0-3 in bowls.
Davie, now the coach at New Mexico, doesn't make excuses for his record at Notre Dame, but he does note that the school has been willing to make the type of changes in recent years.
"Their facilities have gone from being poor to cutting edge in college football," he said. "Their salaries for coaches are competitive with everybody in the country."
Former athletic director Kevin White was the catalyst for many of those changes, but he was also the man who hired George O'Leary, who was caught fibbing on his resume and stepped down, Tyrone Willingham and Charlie Weis.
This time when Notre Dame went looking for a coach, the hottest candidate on the market was Kelly, who climbed the coaching ladder slowly, winning big every step of the way. The difference was the hottest commodity also wanted Notre Dame, and White's successor, Jack Swarbrick, scooped him up quickly.
Kelly has continued to push Notre Dame into the 21st century, implementing a training table to make it easier for the players to eat healthy. He pushed for music to be pumped through the PA system at Notre Dame Stadium to rouse a fanbase that over the years had started to sit on its hands.
"It's flashier," Davie said. "They are a lot more like everybody else is but that's what's making them competitive."
Now what separates both Notre Dame and Alabama from the competition is their coaches.

Since 2010, the Ada County Highway District has installed the new signals at more than a quarter of the county's traffic-light intersections, which number 422.
Made entirely of arrows, the signals use a flashing yellow rather than the traditional green circle to indicate to drivers that they may turn left after yielding to oncoming traffic.
ACHD is pleased with the results.
"No safety issues have been detected," said spokesman Craig Quintana. "The original experiment along State Street, which received the first seven yellow arrow signals in early 2010, has been good, with no increase in crashes since the first of the yellow arrows were rolled out."
The Boise Police Department likes the new signals as well. Although the department has not been tracking the effect of the new signals statistically, officers have said they are pleased with the change, said spokesman Chuck McClure.
"The signals seem to be less confusing for motorists and the officers feel there has been a decrease in crashes," he said.
With protected left turns - turning left on a green arrow - drivers have the right of way, but this limits the amount of time left turns can be executed, often causing traffic to back up.
Permissive left turns - turning left at a green light or flashing yellow arrow if the coast is clear - help keep traffic moving, but they also require more driver responsibility.
"This is a balance between better traffic flow and safety. It's obviously safer to only permit turns on a green when the opposing traffic has been stopped at a red light, but that slows everything down," said Quintana. "The public loves the arrows, which are more intuitive than the old-style green balls; yellow is well understood to say 'go, but be safe,' so there's less room for misunderstanding."
ACHD, too, must make good decisions when deciding where to install them.
Not all intersections are suitable for the flashing yellow arrows - as a general rule, ACHD will not install these signals on roads with dual left-turn lanes or high speed limits.
The agency also considers traffic volume, sight distance and crash history when deciding which intersections are candidates for the arrow signals.
ACHD has installed them at 112 intersections, and another 80 are candidates.
Certain locations have been requested but do not meet the proper criteria, Quintana said. He cited Eagle Road and Bristol Heights/Hobble Creek as an example - it has a 55 mph speed limit and high traffic volume.
"Part of the risk of using this technology is it will allow for some bad decisions to be made by drivers, which has made us a bit less likely to deploy them on the highest-speed roads," Quintana said.
After several years of testing, the Federal Highway Administration approved the flashing yellow arrows for wide use in late 2009, saying they reduce traffic delays and accidents. Since then, the signals have been installed in cities large and small.
An Oregon study earlier this year found that some drivers became so "fixated" on finding an opening in oncoming traffic to make a permissive left turn that they sometimes failed to observe pedestrians.
ACHD said it is aware of that concern but has not had any documented incidents.
This has more to do with permissive left turns in general and not the flashing yellow arrows, Quintana said.
"Motorists were allowed to make left turns while pedestrians had a walk signal long before the use of flashing yellow arrows; it just used to be a green ball where we allowed permissive left turns," he said. "Drivers still must yield to oncoming and same-direction traffic, which includes pedestrians in the crosswalk."
If an intersection becomes problematic, ACHD can remedy the problem quickly.
"A nice feature of the flashing yellow arrows is we can change it to a left-turn-on-green arrow if the need arises, say for peak times when lots of pedestrians are crossing and we need to lower the opportunity for conflict. We do that around schools," he said.
Earlier this year, ACHD took the arrow signal at Fairview Avenue and Cloverdale Road out of service at peak times. When the arrow signal was operating, Quintana said, drivers wanting to make left turns were not getting large enough gaps to complete the turn.
"Taking the arrow out of service during these peak times avoids the problem of people feeling the need to take chances because the signal is telling them it's OK," Quintana said.

Goodbye, Hector Torres and Stefania Gray
UNM English Professor Hector Torres and graduate student Stefania Gray were victims of a double homicide on Sunday. I first met Hector in the UNM Linguistics Department back in the early '80s. He was polite and soft spoken, but with a great sense of humor; he loved language and he loved cold beer. The world will truly be worse for losing him. The UNM community is invited to meet and share a moment of silence for Hector and Stefania at UNM Duckpond at 2:00 p.m. today.

GLEN CARBON — An escaped prisoner with ties to Glen Carbon has been recaptured.
Edwardsville District 7 warned parents Tuesday that Jared C. Carter, 30, who escaped from the Robinson Correctional Center on Friday, had an affiliation to a family member with a child enrolled in a Glen Carbon school.
Glen Carbon police monitored District 7 schools and bus stops, with Edwardsville Police and Madison County Sheriff's deputies on alert.
But Carter was spotted by local police in Palestine, Ill., on Tuesday afternoon walking down the street about seven miles from the prison.
When stopped, Carter told police, "I'm the guy you're looking for" and surrendered without confrontation, then asked for water.
Carter was part of a mowing detail at the minimum-security prison, located about 110 miles southeast of Champaign near the Indiana border. While assigned to the work crew cutting grass on the prison grounds, he walked away.
Tom Shaer, spokesman for the Illinois Department of Corrections, said Carter had been evaluated as a low escape risk, which led to his assignment on the work crew. While he declined to comment on the specifics of Carter's escape, he said the department will review all practices and procedures.
"It's important to note that IDOC has 2,000 to 3,000 inmates among work camps, work details outside the walls on prison grounds and work crews in communities and at state buildings, all without incident for years," Shaer said. "IDOC inmate volunteers give nearly 100,000 hours annually to community service, also with no problems."
Carter is serving a 10-year prison sentence on multiple charges of burglary. Most of his current charges were from Bond County, but he was also serving four years on a charge of residential burglary in Madison County. He had previously served time for theft, forgery, bad checks and damaging private property in Bond and Clinton counties.
Carter began serving time in May 2011, so with a day-for-day consideration for good behavior, he would have been eligible for parole in May 2016.
Now IDOC has the right to take away up to one year of sentence credit for an infraction, if approved by the Illinois Prisoner Review Board, Shaer said. That could add at least one year onto Carter's sentence.
In addition, Shaer said IDOC is investigating the escape and will submit its findings to the Crawford County state's attorney, which could decide to pursue additional charges against Carter.
After recapture, Carter was treated for minor injuries suffered during his flight and will be transferred to a maximum-security prison. Shaer said being in maximum security will be "a big difference" in Carter's day-to-day incarceration.

2013 Montana Science Olympiad!!
By Irene Grimberg, Dec. 5 2013
Eggs falling from great heights? Unraveling a mysterious disease? Launching gliders? All of this happened at the annual 2013 Montana Science Olympiad hosted by MSU's Science Math Resource Center on Tuesday, November 26, at MSU-Bozeman campus.
Roughly 1,400 students from 94 middle and high schools throughout Montana participated in the 2013 Montana's Science Olympiad. The competition included twenty eight events related to science or engineering such as: building a cantilevered structure, identifying insects, constructing magnetically-levitated vehicles, identifying rocks and determining mineral hardness, and data analyses using the principles of genetics. Teams competed in either middle or high school division events, and the winning team of each division has the opportunity to participate in the national tournament, to be held on May 16-17, 2014 in Orlando, Florida.
This year, thanks to donations from members of the Bozeman community and the Montana Science Olympiad, the auditorium of the closing ceremony trembled with roars of joy when winning teams received $1,500 each to help with the expenses required to journey to Nationals. In addition, second-place teams received a gift from the Montana Space Grant Consortium (MSGC) to attend the 2014 MSGC Student Research Symposium to be held on Monday April 7, 2014 at MSU-Bozeman.
The Montana Science Olympiad is much more than a competition; it is an invitation to be immersed in the world of science and engineering in a fun and engaging way! A Fun Night launches the Montana Science Olympiad on the Monday evening prior to the tournament at the Museum of the Rockies. This year, 553 participants, including Olympians, coaches, and parents from 28 different schools in Montana, consumed 831 square feet of pizza, engaged with presenters and participated in activities.Thanks to Angela Weikert –Museum of the Rockies Education Director- and presenters, Montana Science Olympiad participants celebrated science with magic, Planetarium shows, live animals, hands-on activities, and impressive demonstrations of robotics, space engineering, architecture, anthropology, astronomy, and chemistry. The exhibits were open to the public, and as a parent said " MOR is better than the Smithsonian museums in D.C." in regards to the quality of the exhibits and programs.
At the 2013 Montana Science Olympiad, Olympians, coaches and parents had the chance to attend some of the 14 talks and tours that showcased cutting-edge research at Montana State University. Subzero Lab, High Altitude Balloon Lab, and Neuroscience Lab tours were packed with public eager to visit the facilities that make it possible to reach new frontiers. The physics of skis, sustainable agriculture, MSU Everest Expedition, honey bees, NASA's new solar missions, how to train your robot, and turning scientists into filmmakers were some of the many talks that the audience enjoyed.
All of the activities, presentations, and events of Montana Science Olympiad resulted from the collective effort of about 100 volunteer MSU faculty, students and Bozeman community members. Their efforts plus the committed work of the Science Math Resource Center staff including: Bruna Irene Grimberg, Montana Science Olympiad State Director, Kiley Eversole, Montana Science Olympiad Coordinator, Jesse Hunter, Montana Science Olympiad Administrative Coordinator, Annie Mollock, Science Math Resource Center Administrator, and Sarah Hendrikx, Science Math Resource Center Data Analyst made this year's Olympiad a great success.
Thank you Bozeman and MSU communities for your dedication and passion, it really makes a difference in the future of Montana and our kids!
Science Math Resource Center Receives Award from MSTA
Thursday October 17, 2013
On October 17th, the Science Math Resource Center was happy to be honored by the Montana Science Teachers' Association at the MEA conference held in Belgrade, Montana. The Science Math Resource Center received an award from MSTA for "Superior Achievement in Science Education for 2013" for qualities of innovation and creative teaching, content expertise, enthusiasm and leadership, which contribute to excellence in promoting science education in Montana.
Science Math Resource Center: Making Science Fun!
Saturday September 21, 2013
Annie Mollock, Jesse Hunter, Kiley Eversole, and Irene Grimberg represented the Science Math Resource Center and the Montana Science Olympiad at the Montana Science and Engineering Festival held on September 21 at Bobcat Stadium. In an effort to publicize the Montana Science Olympiad to the community and engage the public in science and engineering we had hands-on activities and flyers that explain what the Center does for STEM education in Montana, and volunteer opportunities offered by the Montana Science Olympiad. 235 people visited our booth to play with magnets, decipher optical illusions, and explore the intricacies of mass and inertia. The activities were very well received, and adults and kids both had fun. Teachers of the area requested resources for their classrooms, and many MSU students pledged to volunteer for the Montana Science Olympiad, on November 26 at our very own MSU campus!
In addition to the Montana Science Olympiad booth the Science Math Resource Center along with faculty of Plant Science and Plant pathology, Land Resources and Environmental Science, College of Agriculture, and MSU-Extension had a booth to disseminate their research on integrated pest-management in crops. Together, we have a number of USDA grants to investigate multitrophic pest interactions and cropping system management. The Science Math Resource Center is in charge of the educational component. At this booth sheep and microscopes greeted visitors and even children played virus and cells in a virus-tag game!!
Family Fun, Food, and Learning Night: Better than Christmas!!
Monday April 22, 2013
There is vast research supporting the idea that reading and parental engagement in school activities are critical factors to facilitate students' learning in ALL content areas. Moreover, reading or being read to during the summer months is very important to enhance or retain students' literacy level. Any reading material, and reading in any way -picture or text based books, and doing hands-on activities- is beneficial. The important thing is that students pick their books!
The Science Math Resource Center in partnership with Hopa Mountain organized a powerful and transformative educator training to engage school students and their family in a Family Fun and Learning Night program. Dr. Bonnie Sachatello-Sawyer, Hopa Mountain director, led the training focusing on: how to implement this family learning program in a school, storytelling and reading aloud-techniques, exploratory science-activities, and give-away books to children. Bonnie modeled a rock sorting activity inspired by the book "If You Find a Rock" by Peggy Christian and Barbara Hirsh Lember. Then teachers examined different ways to use this activity in their classroom, not only to address science content but also to reinforce reading comprehension and explore mathematical concepts.
A picture astronomy book "There's No Place Like Space" by Tish Rabe and Aristides Ruiz was introduced along with night observations and recording of moon phases. Ideas to extend this hands on-reading aloud activities to parent conference settings or school family nights, such as Astronomy Night and Science Night, were also discussed. The teachers received lesson plan packages for the rock and astronomy programs with descriptions of activities for students, parents and students, tips for parents for reading aloud and literacy activities at home, a book list.

Professional Development
A Predictive Model to Increase Adoption of IPM of Mite-Virus Disease Complex
in Wheat
This regional project -involving communities from Texas, Montana, Nebraska,
Oklahoma, Colorado, and Kansas- focuses on the development and dissemination of
an accurate forecasting model of wheat viruses in order to improve the sustainability
of wheat production. SMRC in collaboration with researchers of Land Resources
and Environmental Science and Plant Science and Plant Pathology departments at
Montana State University and Department of Entomology of the University of Nebraska-
Lincoln, use science core ideas of the model to develop educational curriculum,
organize students field experiences, and deliver teacher professional development.
The curriculum is organized in online modules including science content background,
simulations, animations, games, video clips of mite's microscope views, and scientist
interviews. In turn, the modules are deployed to develop student (graduate,
undergraduate, and G-12 students) and science teachers learning opportunities based
on the management of this wheat-mite-virus complex to demonstrate the principles of
biology, ecology, and engineering. Teacher on-site professional development and G4-20
students field experiences are conducted in Montana and Nebraska.
Integrating Environmental Education Throughout the Curriculum (IEETC)
IEETC is a professional development program focused on increasing G2-8 teachers abilities to integrate local environmental and indigenous topics into science content teaching. The program is delivered in two tribal communities, Salish Kootenai and Crow, and is centered on STEM topics. IEETC combines tribal members' presentations and panel discussions of local environmental issues, on-site workshops about inquiry-based activities, and online discussions allowing teachers to share teaching approaches and lesson ideas. The training is provided in collaboration with faculty of Montana State University, Little Big Horn College, and Salish Kootenai College. Teachers that participate in IEETC learn about the environmental issues facing their students communities from scientific and tribal-historical perspectives. IEETC impacts about 20 teachers and 400 students. IEETC is funded by the Montana Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education, Educational Talent Search program.
Big Sky Science Partnership (BSSP)
BSSP focuses on the design and implementation of science teachers' professional development in American Indian reservations in Montana. BSSP is comprised of partners from five tribal communities, three institutions of higher education, and forty-five K-8 schools on and around the Flathead, Northern Cheyenne and Crow Reservations. The goals of this multi-year project are: 1) to increase teachers' science content knowledge, 2) to improve science instructional practices and culturally congruent teaching, 3) to improve students' science achievement, and 4) to form a cadre of teacher leaders that will assist other teachers in their own community. BSSP professional development is implemented in three content areas: Earth Science; Astronomy and Weather and Climate; and Physics. All instruction in these areas are framed by culturally responsive teaching approaches. The professional development is delivered face-to-face and online, such that teachers attend monthly face-to-face workshops and participate in online semester-long courses that deepen the face-to-face topics and facilitate the formation of a teacher's learning community; attend a two-week summer institute focused on the integration of science, pedagogy, and culture; and participate in a summer cultural camp experiencing tribal American Indian culture. Being in its last year, BSSP impacted about 100 teachers plus 15 American Indian pre-service teachers, and 2000 students in grades K-8. Approximately 60% of these students are American Indians living on Montana's American Indian reservations. BSSP is funded by the Mathematics and Science Partnership program of the National Science Foundation. More infomation
Science Inquiry Learning in the Classroom (SILC)
SILC was a professional development program for K-6 teachers of urban and rural school districts in Montana, aiming to increase teachers' science content knowledge, to promote inquiry-based teaching, and to facilitate classroom implementation of the resources identified by Montana Office of Public Instruction Indian Education For All (IEFA) program. In partnership with the Montana Learning Center, Montana State University, Montana Regional Education Services Area IV, and Helena and Bozeman school districts, SILC delivered a blended model professional development including: face-to-face monthly inquiry academies, teachers' webinars, online coursework, scientists classroom virtual visits, and instructional coaching. The inquiry academies, webinars, and online coursework addressed the Montana Standards for Life Science and Physical Science, and inquiry-based pedagogical practices. Instructional coaching involved working on an individual basis with each teacher at least once a month encouraging the use of age-appropriate content and inquiry. Classroom virtual visits facilitated scientist and student dialogs centered on the concept of energy. SILC impacted 60 teachers and approximately 1300 K-6 students. SILC was funded by the Mathematics and Science Partnership program of the Montana Office of Public Instruction.
E-Mentoring for Students Success (eMSS)
eMSS is an online mentoring program for science and mathematics teachers. eMSS started as a partnership comprised of NSTA, the Science Math Resource Center and the Burns Telecommunications Center at Montana State University, the NSF Center for Learning and Teaching in the West, the New Teacher Center at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a number of school districts in Montana and California. The primary goal of eMSS is to develop a national online, content-rich, mentoring system to improve the skills of, and provide support for novice middle and high school science teachers. eMSS develops an online network of mentor teachers, science and math educators, and scientists and mathematicians who support beginning teachers in their efforts to provide high quality instruction to their students. Joining California and Montana, eMSS gradually incorporated other states reaching up to 16 states in the nation. eMSS was funded by National Science Foundation and currently is self-supported by user districts and administrated by the New Teacher Center.
Center for Learning and Teaching in the West (CLTW)
The CLTW is a consortium of five universities: Portland State University, Montana State University, the University of Montana, Colorado State University and the University of Northern Colorado, in partnership with Ft. Belknap College (MT), other community and tribal colleges, the Portland Public Schools, and 68 rural and reservation schools in Montana and Colorado. This partnership arose from shared interests on improving teacher preparation; delivering high quality professional development; providing advanced degree programs in education; developing science and mathematics education research; exploring innovative delivery systems; and documenting experiences in systemic collaboration. Sixty-two graduate students (51 doctoral and 11 master students) completed their studies in the frame of CLTW. Research work supported by CLTW includes studies on: K-12 student achievement differences; cultural issues affecting student performance and participation; professional development to promote teacher knowledge, and community and capacity building; distance education; and access to and success in higher education. CLTW was funded by the National Science Foundation.
Systemic Teacher Education Preparation (STEP)
STEP is a project for the improvement of STEM education of pre-service teachers in the state of Montana. Based at MSU, the STEP project has formed a collaborative partnership between the university system campuses, Montana's seven tribal colleges, and numerous K-12 field sites throughout the state. STEP redesigned mathematics, science, and methods courses for pre-service teachers, using model field sites as "living laboratories" for research on effective pre-service training. As a result of these initiatives, the number of minority students preparing to teach in STEM fields significantly increased, and a distance-based mentoring system for new teachers in a rural state was piloted. STEP was funded by the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education program.
Science Olympiad
The Montana Science Olympiad is devoted to improving the quality of science education, increasing student interest in science and providing recognition for outstanding achievement in science education by both students and teachers. The Science Math Resource Center at Montana State University in Bozeman hosts the annual Montana Science Olympiad in conjunction with the National Science Olympiad.
The Science Olympiad goals are accomplished through the dedication of Montana science teachers and parents who organize classroom activities, research, and after school training clubs. The main focus of the competition is to elevate science education and learning to a level of enthusiasm and support that is normally reserved only for varsity sports programs.
The Science Olympiad tournaments are rigorous academic inter-scholastic competitions that consist of a series of individual and team events. In grades 6-12, a Science Olympiad team functions much like a football or soccer team, requiring preparation, commitment, coaching and practice throughout the year. Other competitions follow the format of popular board games and TV shows. These challenging and motivational events are well balanced between various disciplines: biology, earth science, chemistry, physics, computer science and technology. There is also a balance between events requiring knowledge of science facts, concepts, processes, skills and science applications.

Supreme Speedster: O's Jorge Lorenzo Claims 2010 MotoGP World Championship Title in Malaysia
This Spaniard has been charging hard all year long. Now he can finally claim ultimate victory.
Oakley's Jorge Lorenzo completed his coronation this past week at the Malaysian MotoGP event – as his third place finish solidified his position as the 2010 MotoGP World Champion. The enormous feat has Jorge joining a list of three Oakley World Champions in the premier class since 2003.
And his path to ultimate victory was dramatic. In a thrilling race, the 23-year-old took it hard to the competition.
Lorenzo, the pole holder, came out of the gates on fire and led into turn one as the race got underway – with event winner Valentino Rossi's getaway from the starting grid less than ideal. Rossi dropped as low as 11th on the opening lap – but he wouldn't stay back for long.
Oakley's Casey Stoner, a favorite to challenge for the win, suffered a huge disappointment when he crashed out on the opening lap, bringing to an end to his hopes of bagging a win.
Andrea Dovizioso stuck with Lorenzo and the pair established a slight gap at the front, but by only the third lap Rossi had recovered to fourth position as he set his sights on the leaders.
Meanwhile Rossi was repeatedly laying down fast laps as he honed in on the riders at the front of the pack. And just past the midway point of the race, the Italian stole the lead, first passing Lorenz, then Dovizioso. The two Italians stole the top two spots again in what was a thrilling fight to the end.
Rossi was not to be denied his second win of the season, as he crossed the line 0.224s ahead of Dovizioso, with Lorenzo in third. But with the top three finish, Lorenzo cemented the 2010 title with his 13th podium of the season – setting off celebrations from his fans from all around Europe and the globe.
Oakley's Ben Spies also took the fourth spot with rookie Alvaro Bautista equalling his season's best result in fifth. O's Nicky Hayden finished in a solid sixth.
Since the introduction of the successful MotoGP class in 2003, Jorge Lorenzo is Oakley's third MotoGP world champion. Oakley had at least one rider in the top three spots of the eight MotoGP world championships thus far:
3x 1st places with Nicky Hayden in 2006, Casey Stoner in 2007 and Jorge Lorenzo in 2010.
4x 2nd places with Sete Gibernau in 2003 & 2004, with Casey Stoner in 2008 and Jorge Lorenzo in 2009.
2x 3rd places with Nicky Hayden in 2005 and Loris Capirossi in 2007.
Congratulations to Jorge for a killer season and for being crowned the King of MotoGP!

Ada —
It was another one of those cases where Ada police — using their deductive reasoning powers — turned a one-person driving under the influence case into a six-person drug bust of young adults.
Most of the activity took place in the 900 block of East Ninth early Monday morning, but it was a guest who left a party at the location — smashing into two cars on his way out — that attracted attention of the police.
Officers Dewayne Campbell and John Parker were assisting officer Jason Keck on a DUI call.
While detaining a motorist with dents in his car, Keck wondered if the subject had left the area without telling the owner of other vehicles he had crashed into.
Campbell and Parker agreed to go back to the home the driver had left to see if they could find any more recently dented automobiles.
They found two cars with fresh dents, prompting them to go to a couple of nearby houses. bCampbell noticed an odor of marijuana when a man came to the door. He asked one of the three renters at the house, Ryan Santos, if the subjects would allow him and Parker to come inside and take a look.

It's been a year of fortieth anniversaries here at Rolling Stone, as we've looked back at the Summer of Love and the beginnings of the magazine in 1967. That year also marked the debut album from Jim Morrison's Doors, an event being celebrated at Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum with a special exhibit titled Break on Through -- The Lasting Legacy of the Doors. The exhibition, the first ever to be endorsed by the Morrison estate and the surviving members of the band, features the handwritten lyrics to "Not to Touch the Earth," Morrison's first-ever childhood poem, Robby Krieger's custom Gibson guitar, a piece of drummer John Densmore's original kit, a promotional record that came with purchases of toothpaste and shampoo and even Ray Manzarek's marriage certificate. Get a close-up look at these pieces of memorabilia and more by checking out our Break on Through photo gallery.

A Lexus left warming up on a West Caldwell driveway was reported stolen Tuesday morning, police officials said.
A resident of Sunnie Terrace told police he went outside at about 6:50 a.m. and started his car to let it warm up. When he returned five minutes later, he said, the car was gone.
The car was a 2010 four-door Black Lexus with New Jersey license plates.
In a release Tuesday morning police said, "Residents are reminded not to leave cars running and unoccupied as well as to contact the police department if they observe anything out of the ordinary in their neighborhoods, including people on foot that are acting in an unusual manner."
The car theft is under investigation by West Caldwell Officer Brett Keepers.
There have been a number of car thefts involving cars left warming up in the Caldwells this winter.

Black Hills High School football coach Jack Zilla announced his resignation Monday after 15 seasons coaching the Wolves.
Zilla said the resignation was the result of a difference in vision "as to how coaching should be organized and accomplished."
"We have a difference of opinion," Zilla said. "The high school education and high school athletics is about more than winning and losing. I've always been proud of our record and performance and how well our kids play and how hard our kids work. I think it's time for a change."
The 50-year-old Zilla, who was hired in 1998, one year after Black Hills High School opened, led the football team to five state playoff appearances — two in Class 2A and three in Class 3A.
The Wolves also earned the South Sound Football Officials Association Sportsmanship award five times, including the 2012 season when the Wolves had a 4-5 record.
Black Hills was Zilla's first head coaching job after worked as an assistant at Lake Washington, Anacortes and Coupeville high schools.
The 2009 season was one of a long list of favorite memories for Zilla.
The Wolves, led by Cody Peterson at running back, who now plays middle linebacker for Navy, finished second behind W.F. West in the 2A Evergreen Conference and lost to eventual state champion Lynden, 14-7, in the first round of the 2A state playoffs.
Zilla said he plans to continue as strength and conditioning teacher at Black Hills, and is "excited about the future" when it comes to coaching.
He's optimistic about the high level of talent going through Black Hills over the next few years.
"I expect them to, within the next couple of years, go deep into the playoffs, if not the finals," Zilla said. "There's a lot of really good things going on here at Black Hills."
This is the third South Sound high school football team to have a coaching vacancy this offseason, joining Yelm and Rainier.Meg Wochnick: 360-754-5473 firstname.lastname@example.com theolympian.com/southsoundsports

'13 - '14 CSS Theatre Season .
An Ideal Husband
By Oscar Wilde
Directed by Minden Hultstrom
Nov. 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 2013 @ 7:30pm Nov. 3 and 10, 2013 @ 2pm
Wilde's Victorian Era comedy centers on the seemingly ideal husband, Sir Robert Chiltern. He lives an outwardly perfect life with his beautiful wife and adoring sister faithfully at his side until an old acquaintance arrives in town and derails everything. What follows is a swirl of blackmail and hints of political corruption that threatens to destroy his world. Chiltern attempts to set right what is wrong with the help of his womanizing, party-loving friend, Lord Goring. Of course as with all Wilde scripts we are twisted and turned every which way as we head toward what is hopefully a happy ending for everyone.
The Liar
by Pierre Corneille and translated by David Ives
Directed by Tammy Ostrander
Jan. 31, Feb. 1, 6, 7, 8, 2014 @ 7:30pm Feb. 2 and 9, 2014 @ 2pm
This new translation of the 1643 French play, tells the story of a young man arriving in Paris with only one flaw - he simply cannot tell the truth. Mayhem follows as he encounters a young man who cannot tell a lie and a rollercoaster ride of excitement and romantic intrigue follows. Filled with arranged marriages and mistaken identities, Ives leaves the audience roaring trying to follow who is in love with whom and who will make it to the altar. "Astonishingly fresh, funny, and totally appealing to modern audiences." -Washington Examiner.
By Samuel Beckett
Directed by Merry Renn Vaughan
April 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 2014 @ 7:30pm April 6 and 13, 2014 @ 2pm
Hamm and Clov are hopelessly entangled; living a co-dependent existence in what appears to be a post-apocalyptical world. Nagg and Nell live an oblivious life in ashcans nearby; waiting, it would seem, for death to come. The main characters go about their daily lives repeating similar patterns and behaviors day after day. Considered by many to be one of Beckett's greatest works, Endgame exemplifies the Theatre of the Absurd genre.
