Search process under scrutinyJune 25,2014As the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union concludes the superintendent search process, we surveyed the search and interview committee members in order to debrief the process and be prepared to make changes for future high-profile searches in our community. We appreciate the hours of work the committee members accomplished to seek qualified candidates, review 22 applications, interview four candidates for consideration, conduct over 60 reference checks on the chosen finalist and listen to community feedback prior to making a decision. The desire of the committees to be transparent and inclusive is evident in the results of the survey, as well as their actions.
The survey was completed by 24 members and helped to identify strengths of the process and suggestions for change. Strengths of the process outlined above included adequate and broad representation on the committees and an adequate timeline for the search process. Also, site visits and reference checks were noted as strengths, with reference checks described as over the top, in a positive way.
Suggestions for change focused on transparency and communication. Recommendations included informing the public in weekly updates which include the full process and progress along the way within legal capacity; explaining up front the limitations of open meeting laws and reference checks and what can be shared publicly; and having a clerk support the work of the chair and the committees due to the intensity of the search process.
The RNESU board appreciates the work that was done on this search and the feedback that was received. Suggestions and recommendations will be incorporated into future high profile searches. The board also is considering a session on open meeting laws this summer to help ensure that it is not only followed by the board but understood by the community.

Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union)

Narrow your search
Sure, it's cheap, but what exactly are you getting for the $199 price? Let's start with a lack of storage place and a low-resolution screen.
This midpriced 15-inch Toshiba Satellite has a few nice higher-end features, but its AMD processor makes it feel like a budget performer.
The $199 Nook Tablet (8GB) matches up well to the Kindle Fire in specs and price--and has the added advantage of offering an expansion slot for additional memory.
It won't be for everyone--the call quality and reception vary if you don't use a case--but the handset's striking design, loaded feature set, and generally agreeable performance make it the best iPhone yet.
The Archos 32 tablet offers many of the core features of Android 2.2 at an attractive price, but its keyboard is too impractical to rely on as a productivity tool, and the Archos-managed app store limits the device's overall potential.
This lower-storage version of Apple's lower-end smartphone is now available in more than 15 countries altogether, but not in the US.
The iPhone 5c now comes in a lower-capacity 8GB model in Australia, China, the UK, France and Germany.
commentary Nowadays, what can 8GB get you? One movie, a few apps and songs, and your phone is already at full capacity.
Apple has also brought the 4th-generation iPad with Retina display back into service, retiring the iPad 2.
Apple's quietly slipped a less expensive iPhone 5C into its lineup, but so far it's only on sale in China, Europe and Australia.

The superstar who ignited a worldwide debate on whether the current group of Americans could take down the legendary collection of Hall of Famers who famously won gold at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics said during a jam-packed press conference Friday that he agrees with President Obama and seemingly everybody else — the Dream Team was better.
"He's right. They are a better team," Bryant said. "The question was, can we beat them? Yes, we can. Yeah. Of course, we can."
In their first appearance in London — the team arrived Friday morning from Barcelona — Bryant mocked the roaring debate over his remarks earlier this month in Las Vegas, where Team USA opened its training camp for the Olympics.
But at the same time, he defended his point.
"It was silly," he said. "The comments were silly. People who think that we can't beat that team? Silly. … It's silly, because I didn't say we were a better team. But if you think we can't beat that team one time? You're crazy."
The question now is whether the Americans can beat France and Spain and Argentina and win another gold medal, after standing atop the podium four years ago in Beijing. They open their competition against Tony Parker and the French on Sunday, with Argentina, Nigeria, Lithuania and Tunisia also in their preliminary group.
"We're a very close-knit group, we have great camaraderie," coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "Hopefully we'll continue to improve during pool play and be at our best in the medal round."
The Americans won all five of their exhibition games heading into London, by an average of nearly 27 points.
Bryant, LeBron James and center Tyson Chandler have been the only consistent starters, as coach Mike Krzyzewski has sought to develop depth, versatility and chemistry with a roster long on athleticism but short on size inside.
Center Dwight Howard and forward Chris Bosh are among the key contributors from Beijing who did not make the team because of injuries, along with guard Dwyane Wade.
Nevertheless, the Americans averaged 99.4 points during their exhibition tour, and were really tested only by Manu Ginobili and Argentina before escaping with an 86-80 victory last weekend.
The players said they still expect the biggest challenge to come from Spain, the silver medalist in 2008 armed with 7-foot brothers Pau and Marc Gasol, along with Serge Ibaka and Rudy Fernandez.
The Americans beat Spain 100-78 in their last exhibition Tuesday in Barcelona, pulling away easily in the fourth quarter. But Marc Gasol and point guard Sergio Rodriguez did not play in that game while recovering from injuries.
"We all go out to dinner and you see the Spain fans come up to us and say, 'It's not going to be like that in the Olympics, it's going to be a lot different,' " Carmelo Anthony said, smiling. "They were giving us some trash-talking. … It's just all fun."
Speaking of fun, point guard Deron Williams had a little at the expense of a Spanish reporter who did his part at the press conference to keep up the debate by asking if the Dream Team is back.
"Where?" Williams responded, with mock surprise. "Are they here? Michael Jordan and them?"
When he eventually gave up the gag, Williams answered the question plainly.
"We're not the Dream Team," he said. "The Dream Team was in '92. We're just the 2012 Olympic Team. It's kind of unfair to compare us to them. That's probably the best team that's been on one court, and we're still so young in our careers to even be compared to that team. We have a lot of work ahead of us."

Practical Tips on Trademark Litigation
April 6, 2001
International Trade
Center at the Ronald Reagan Federal Building
in cooperation with
The District of Columbia Bar Intellectual Property Law Section
Following the IPL 16th Annual Spring CLE Program
Program Chair:
About the Program
Intellectual property (IP) law is a complex practice area requiring a broad array of skills. The Practical Tips program is designed to enhance these skills and enable IP practitioners to handle the many tasks that routinely arise in this increasingly important area of practice. Unlike programs that deal principally with cutting-edge issues and recent court decisions, the Practical Tips program features top professionals from the IP field that provide practical advice on dealing with the "nuts and bolts" of every day IP practice. For the fifth year, the Practical Tips program is being sponsored by the Young Lawyers Committee of the ABA Section of Intellectual Property Law
This particular Practical Tips program focuses on trademark litigation. As a special benefit to those attending the program, a number of "model" documents typically used in trademark litigation will be made available for future reference and possible adaptation for later use. In addition, outlines of issues relating to trademark litigation and other documents will be made available. These documents have been prepared by some of the nation's leading trademark litigation attorneys and cover a wide variety of subjects.
CLE Credit: CLE accreditation has been requested for this program from every state with mandatory continuing education requirements for lawyers. Please be aware that each state has its own rules and regulations, including its definition of "CLE". Check with your state agency for confirmation of this program's approval. States with lawyer specialization programs have not been requested to certify this program. Certificates of attendance will be available in the registration kits onsite. Attendees requesting credit for the program must sign the attendance roster onsite at the program. For information on approved number of credit hours, contact the ABA Center for CLE at 312/988-6217.
For additional information on the program, contact ABA IPL Section offices at email@example.com. Phone: 312/988-5598.

Bio and Links
I am 78 years old and working part-time as a bookeeper. I have been doing genealogy research on my husband's ancestors for over 10 years. We made several genealogy research trips and I've walked many cemeteries taking photos. They can all be found on my website. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mcapehart/index.html. I have created memorials and uploaded photos of all the cemeteries I have visited to FindaGrave. Now that I can no longer travel I have to depend on other people to take photos for me. Many thanks to everyone for your help!
For the past four years I have been doing photo projects in local cemeteries and have been a FindaGrave volunteer for over a year. I have a severe hearing impairment and am considered legally deaf and this is something I can do which doesn't involve communicating with people. I take shears and a whisk broom with me and trim around monuments to enable me to get the best possible photo. I record all information available to me on FindaGrave. I aways welcome corrections and updates. I will respond to them as quickly as possible and will let you know when a correction has been made or additional information has been added. I also notify creaters of memorial pages when I have additional information or a correction. I believe it takes all of us working together to make FindaGrave an effective tool for people researching their families.

Tommy Sharpnack photo
I took the photo of Tommy's parents headstone and have looked around the cemetery for a headstone for Tommy but have found none. I see he was cremated and I thought possibly he was buried with his parents but there is nothing on their stone to indicate that. There are empty spaces beside his parents but again no markers. Do you know if he was buried with a headstone and where in the cemetery his grave is. Sorry I have more questions than answers. Alice

How common is episiotomy?
An episiotomy is performed in about 40% of vaginal deliveries in the United States, but the prevalence of episiotomy has been decreasing in recent years. For example, 1.6 million episiotomies were performed in 1992 and only 716,000 in 2003. Some countries have significantly lower episiotomy rates than the U.S. In general, episiotomy is less common in Europe than in the U.S.
How is an episiotomy done?
The usual cut (incision) for an episiotomy goes straight down and typically does not involve the muscles around the rectum or the rectum itself. Anesthesia in the form of nerve blocks or local injections of anesthetic are given if the patient has not received regional anesthesia (such an epidural) for the delivery.
What are the advantages of an episiotomy?
An episiotomy can decrease the amount of pushing the mother must do during delivery. It can also decrease trauma to the vaginal tissues and expedite delivery of the baby when delivery is necessary quickly. Doctors who favor episiotomies argue that a surgical incision is easier to repair than a spontaneous irregular or extensive tear, and is likely to lead to a more favorable outcome with fewer complications.
How is an episiotomy repaired?
The repair is straightforward and is fairly simple to perform. The incision is repaired by suturing (sewing) the wound together.
What are the possible complications of an episiotomy, and should an episiotomy be part of a routine delivery?
Episiotomy can be associated with extensions or tears into the muscle of the rectum or even the rectum itself. Other complications can include:
Studies have shown conflicting results regarding the question of whether performing an episiotomy results in greater postpartum pain than not performing the procedure.
However, it is important to note that if the baby needs to be delivered more urgently, then waiting for the mother to push it out without the assistance of an episiotomy may in certain cases cause harm to the fetus. Also, there are some tears that occur when no incision is made that are very difficult to repair and cause greater blood loss than might otherwise occur.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists supports the position of restricted, instead of routine, use of episiotomy. Instead, episiotomy should be considered in certain situations when there is a high risk of severe lacerations or the need to facilitate rapid delivery of a fetus.
What is the healing time for an episiotomy?
The typical healing time for an episiotomy is around 4 to 6 weeks depending on the size of the incision and the type of suture material used to close the wound.

The median price of a home in Los Angeles County jumped by 20.6 percent in January, compared with the same month a year ago, while the number of homes sold dipped by 7.4 percent, a real estate information service announced Wednesday.
According to DataQuick, the median price of a Los Angeles County home was $410,000 last month, up from $340,000 in January 2013. A total of 4,913 homes were sold in the county, down from 5,308 during the same month the previous year.
In Orange County, the median price was $550,000 last month, up 19.6 percent from $460,000 in January 2013. The number of homes sold dropped by 9.3 percent, from 2,431 in January 2013 to 2,205 last month.
A total of 14,471 new and resale houses and condos changed hands in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties last month, according to DataQuick. That was down 21.4 percent from 18,415 in December and down 9.9 percent from 16,058 in January 2013.
The median price for a Southern California home was $380,000 in January, down 3.8 percent from $395,000 in December and up 18.4 percent from $321,000 in January 2013.
"The economy is growing, but Southland home sales have fallen on a year-
over-year basis for four consecutive months now and remain well below
average," according to DataQuick President John Walsh. "Why? We're still
putting a lot of the blame on the low inventory. But mortgage availability, the
rise in interest rates and higher home prices, too."

What are these achievements for? Is this the bait that WoW-Hammer is using to keep the sheepeople filling their coffers? Tick Tick Tick . . ."
Considering that all games copy each other's good ideas to some extent, it's good to see Blizzard not pretending competition doesn't exist and not improve their game in ways people have been wanting them to for a while.
As for it being "WoW-Hammer" most people tend to assign that moniker (or World of Warhammer) to Warhammer as WoW is what they patterned a large part of the game after. Remember also, that Warhammer is what Warcraft was originally based off of long time ago....
Besides, if you are so negative about the whole thing, why are you even reading about WoW anymore? Troll more you idiotic twit.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Amari Cooper caught two touchdown passes from AJ McCarron and Christion Jones returned a kickoff 99 yards for another score, leading No. 1 Alabama to a 33-14 victory over Mississippi Saturday night.
The Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) trailed briefly, 7-6, for the first time in regulation since last year's Tennessee game, a span of about 10 games. The Rebels (3-2, 0-1) put up a fight against a team that had been walloping opponents by nearly 37 points on average, but still lost their ninth straight SEC opener.
"It was a hard-fought win for us," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "I think people probably don't give Ole Miss enough credit. They played hard. They were physical. Their offence is difficult to defend."
Saban had tried to keep his players focused by broadcasting Tim Tebow's memorable speech after the Rebels upset Florida four years ago in the weight room and meeting rooms. Alabama goes into its open week without needing such a podium prompter.
McCarron completed 22 of 30 passes for 180 yards and Eddie Lacy gained much of his 82 yards in the fourth quarter when Alabama put it away with Jeremy Shelley's third and fourth field goals of the game.
The Tide's defence bailed out an offence that sputtered at times with three interceptions.
Alabama totalled 305 yards against a defence that gave up 66 points and 676 yards to Texas two weeks ago. The Rebels gained 218 yards in a game that was largely controlled by the defences after days when SEC teams like Texas A&M and Georgia rolled up 50-plus points.
Lacy had 12 carries for 43 yards through three quarters. Cooper collected eight catches for 84 yards.
McCarron broke Brodie Croyle's school mark of 190 consecutive passes without an interception. He finished the game with 206 in a row.
Bo Wallace was 15-of-26 passing for 123 yards for Ole Miss and was intercepted twice. Jeff Scott was limited to 49 yards on 19 carries with a touchdown.
Ole Miss did something no other team had done in about 10 games: Got a lead on Alabama in regulation. It lasted only as long as it took Jones to run back the ensuing kick.
Scott cut inside for a 1-yard touchdown early in the second quarter for a 7-6 lead. That ended the Tide's streak at 603 minutes, 46 seconds dating back to a 3-0 first quarter deficit against the Volunteers last season.
It was fleeting. Jones raced untouched for a touchdown after grabbing the ball on a high bounce at the goal line and Alabama scored two more TDs before halftime to surge to a 27-7 lead.
It was Alabama's first kick return for a TD since Trent Richardson did it against Duke on Sept. 18, 2010.
Then, Dee Milliner intercepted a pass that Wallace threw right to him. Three plays later, McCarron hit the playmaking freshman Cooper for a 16-yard touchdown. It was ruled incomplete, but a review overturned the call after replays showed he had possession with a foot in bounds and the ball stretched just across the goal line.
Cooper reached over Frank Crawford in the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown. Both his scores were on third-down plays.
The Tide defence picked off passes on consecutive on consecutive drives after Ole Miss scored its first touchdown.
"That was the turning point in the game," Saban said. "We really only put one true drive together. Those turnovers were really the difference in the game."
Ole Miss didn't score again until Randall Mackey's 12-yard touchdown run with 6:35 left in the third quarter trimmed the deficit to 27-14. The Rebels converted two fourth-down plays on the drive, on a Jeff Scott run and catch.
The Rebels had one final chance to stay in the game. They inched across midfield midway through the fourth but had to punt and Alabama ran most of the clock down with a ground game mostly held in check before getting another field goal.
The Connecticut Huskies surprised the field from the No. 7 seed to capture their fourth national championship men's title.

In a ridiculously fast and intense turn-around from the policy of the last eight years, the U.S. Government has put together a report written by experts from 13 U.S. agencies on the current (not future) effects of ojalafilms.com global warming. It cites global warming as the cause of increased drought in the southwest, stronger hurricanes and tropical storms, increased flooding, reduced snowpack, increased river temperatures, longer heatwaves, wildfires, and shore erosion.
The purpose of the report is, apparently, to inform the American public that this is not some far-off issue that will maybe effect our kids someday. But, instead, it's having real effects that we can feel right now, which might even include a 10% drop in average wind speeds over the cialis erectile dysfunction last 30 years.
The report also breaks the effects down into regions and economic sectors. So, based on where you live and who you work for, you'll see how you're already being effected. The worst news seems to be for farmers, which, honestly is pretty bad news for everyone who enjoys eating food. Growing seasons will lengthen throughout the country, but insect infestations and infectious diseases will become more difficult to manage. The biggest scare, however, is that water supplies will continue to run low until irrigation becomes costly or even impossible.
The intensity of these changes, however, is not something that the report is able to viagra generic go into detail on. While we can see significant changes in migration patters, snowfall, temperature and other key indicators, it's unlikely that we'll know the full impacts of this global weirding until we feel them for ourselves.
Check out the full report and the full press release below.
New Report Provides Authoritative Assessment of National, Regional Impacts of Global Climate Change
Details Point to Potential Value of http://www.omroepgroesbeek.nl/cialis-tadalafil Early, Aggressive Action
Climate change is already having visible impacts in the United States, and the choices we make now will determine the mail online order propecia severity of its impacts in the future, according to a new and authoritative federal study assessing the current and anticipated domestic impacts of climate change.
The report, "Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States," compiles years of scientific research and takes into account new data not available during the preparation of previous large national and global assessments. It was produced by a consortium of experts from13 U.S. government science agencies and from several major universities and research institutes. With its production and ordering viagra online legal review spanning Republican and Democratic administrations, it offers a valuable, objective scientific consensus on how climate change is affecting—and may further affect—the United States.
"This new report integrates the most up-to-date scientific findings into a comprehensive picture of the ongoing as well as expected future impacts of heat-trapping pollution on the climate experienced by Americans, region by region and sector by sector," said John P. Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology and director of the White House Office of very good site buy levitra overnight Science and Technology Policy. "It tells us why remedial action is needed sooner rather than later, as well as showing why that action must include both global emissions reductions to reduce the extent of climate change and local adaptation measures to reduce the damage from the changes that are no longer avoidable."
The report, which confirms previous evidence that global temperature increases in recent decades have been primarily human-induced, incorporates the latest information on rising temperatures and sea levels; increases in extreme weather events; and other climate-related phenomena. Adding greatly to its practical value in the realm of policy and http://operacijatrijumf.net/levitra-online-canada planning, it is the http://www.calamusdesign.it/price-of-cialis first such report in almost a decade to it's great! lowest priced viagra break out those impacts by U.S. region and economic sector, and the first to do so in such great detail.
"This report stresses that climate change has immediate and local impacts – it literally affects people in their backyards," said Jane Lubchenco, under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "In keeping with our goals, the information in it is accessible and useful to everyone from city planners and national legislators to citizens who want to better understand what climate change means to them. This is an issue that clearly affects everyone."
A product of the interagency U.S. Global Change Research Program, the definitive 190-page report, produced under NOAA's leadership, is written in plain language to better inform members of the public and http://www.enshift.com/buying-cialis-online-canada policymakers. Commissioned in 2007 and completed this spring, the science-based report is a consensus product spanning two Presidential administrations and transcends political leanings or biases. It underwent intensive review by scientists inside and outside of generic cialis professional government and includes information more recent than that incorporated into the last major report on global climate change released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The report is not intended to female cialis direct policy makers to take any one approach over another to mitigate climate change or adapt to it. But it emphasizes that the choices we make now will determine the severity of climate change impacts in the future. "Implementing sizable and sustained reductions in carbon dioxide emissions as soon as possible would significantly reduce the pace and the overall amount of climate change," the report states, "and would be more effective than reductions of the same size initiated later."
The study finds that Americans are already being affected by climate change through extreme weather, drought and wildfire trends and link for you hydrochlorothiazide viagra details how the nation's transportation, agriculture, health, water and energy sectors will be affected in the future. The study also finds that the current trend in the emission of greenhouse gas pollution is significantly above the worst-case scenario that this and other reports have considered.
Among the main findings are:
· Heat waves will become more frequent and intense, increasing threats to human health and quality of life. Extreme heat will also affect transportation and energy systems, and crop and livestock production.
· Increased heavy downpours will lead to more flooding, waterborne diseases, negative effects on agriculture, and disruptions to energy, water, and transportation systems.
· Reduced summer runoff and cialis shipped fast increasing water demands will create greater competition for water supplies in some regions, especially in the West.
· Rising water temperatures and ocean acidification threaten coral reefs and the rich ecosystems they support. These and other climate-related impacts on coastal and marine ecosystems will have major implications for tourism and fisheries.
· Insect infestations and wildfires are already increasing and are projected to increase further in a warming climate.
· Local sea-level rise of over three feet on top of storm surges will increasingly threaten homes and other coastal infrastructure. Coastal flooding will become more frequent and severe, and coastal land will increasingly be lost to the rising seas.
By breaking out results in terms of get viagra region and economic sector the report provides a valuable tool not just for policymakers but for all Americans who will be affected by these trends. Its information can help:
- farmers making crop and livestock decisions, as growing seasons lengthen, insect management becomes more difficult and viagra for daily use droughts become more severe;
- local officials thinking about zoning decisions, especially along coastal areas;
- public health officials developing ways to lessen the best online generic viagra impacts of heat waves throughout the country;
- water resource officials considering development plans; and,
- business owners as they consider business and investment decisions.
Responses to climate change fall into two categories. The first involves "mitigation" measures to limit climate change by reducing emissions of heat-trapping pollution or increasing their removal from the atmosphere. The second involves "adaptation" measures to improve our ability to cope with or avoid harmful impacts, and take advantage of beneficial ones. "Both of these are necessary elements of an effective response strategy," said Jerry Melillo of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA, a report co-chair.
"By comparing impacts that are projected to result from higher versus lower emissions of heat-trapping gasses, our report underscores the importance and real economic value of reducing those emissions," said Tom Karl, director of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. and one of drug levitra the co-chairs of the report. "It shows that the choices made now will have far-reaching consequences."
The report draws from a large body of scientific information, including the set of 21 Synthesis and Assessment reports from the U.S. Global Change Research Program. The government agencies affiliated with the program include the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Energy, Health and Human Services, Interior, State, and Transportation; the Environmental Protection Agency; NASA; National Science Foundation; Smithsonian Institution; and the United States Agency for International Development.

The Denver Post's editorial on Mitt Romney's selection of U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., as his running mate calls Ryan "a radical choice" and his budget proposal "a one-sided, ideological proposal."
Then again, four years (and $5 trillion in debt) ago, this line adorned The Denver Post endorsement of then-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama for president: "He's the right man to lead America back to prosperity."
But don't take our word for it that Ryan is the real deal. Listen to Erskine Bowles, former chief of staff for Pres. Clinton, and the Democratic co-chair of President Obama's eponymous Simpson-Bowles Commission, appointed to develop a long-term deficit reduction plan. Ryan was a member of the bi-partisan commission.
Bowles [see video above] spoke at the University of North Carolina in September of 2011, where he had previously served as president…
"Have any of you all met Paul Ryan? We should get him to come to the University. I'm telling you, this guy is amazing. I always thought I was O.K. with arithmetic; this guy can run circles around me. And he is honest, he is straightforward, he is sincere. The budget he came forward with is just like Paul Ryan: it is a sensible, straightforward, honest, serious budget. It cuts the budget deficit, just like we did, by $4 trillion."
"The President came out with his own plan. And the President, as you remember, came out with a budget, and I don't think anybody took that budget very seriously. The Senate voted against it 97-0. He therefore, after a lot of pressure from folks like me, he came out with a new budget framework. In that new budget framework, he cut the budget deficit by $4 trillion over 12 years, and to be candid, this $4 trillion cut is very heavily back-end loaded, so if you look at it on a 10-year basis, and compare apples-to-apple, it really was about a $2.5 trillion cut."
It should be remembered that Pres. Obama listened politely to his deficit commission, which proposed both spending cuts and tax increases, dismissed them, and then ignored their work. He then presented, as Bowles notes, a budget that received exactly zero votes from members of either party. The Senate has, in contravention of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, failed to pass a budget for over three years.
In the full audio of his remarks, Bowles does characterize as a "pretty radical change" Ryan's proposal to, as reported by the Charlotte News & Observer, "make Medicare a defined contribution plan, instead of a defined benefit plan."
Since "radical" is also a word The Denver Post emphasizes in its evaluation of Ryan and his proposed entitlement reforms, let's take a look under the hood.
Medicare, funded primarily by payroll taxes, "provides health coverage for 47.5 million people" and spent $516 billion in 2010, according to Medicare.gov.
Depending on how he numbers are run, Medicare may go broke sometime between 2016 and 2024, as described in this column by Avik Roy of Forbes.
While Ryan's original proposal did indeed privatize the entire program, the current proposal, developed in cooperation with U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., uses premium support. Traditional Medicare would be an option permanently, and the premium would be keyed to the second-lowest bid, assuring program members of at least two options that would cost them nothing additional. Such bipartisan flexibility should be cause for praise.
In addition, Medicare would remain as is for those older than 55, which Ryan repeats at every opportunity, but which is conveniently ignored and demagogued by the likes of U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. Here's CNN's Wolf Blitzer exposing it this week.
Democratic reform, meanwhile, fails "to offer any specifics or any vision – meaning that even under favorable circumstances, the best grade one can offer for the President's Medicare 'plan' is an Incomplete," writes U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, in his recent analysis.
And listen to former Pres. Bill Clinton, immediately after the Democrats won a special Congressional election in upstate New York in 2011 by campaigning heavily against Ryan's original proposal.
"I'm glad we won this race in New York," Clinton said to Ryan. "But I hope the Democrats don't use this as an excuse to do nothing on Medicare."
It was the same concern that led Lanny Davis, former special counsel to President Clinton, to call the Wyden-Ryan approach, "worth a serious look."
The Denver Post may want to bash Ryan's budget proposal and proposed entitlement reforms, but the Nov. 6 election will be a stark contrast of his brand of leadership – contrasted with the Democrats' simultaneous denial of mathematical reality and abdication of leadership.

Melatonin Shortens Recovery Time from Jet Lag
Researchers investigated the effects of 3 mg per night of supplemental melatonin on 22 professional soccer players and coaches traveling across twelve time zones. All participants engaged in moderate exercise outdoors twice a day for a total of six hours. The athletes recovered from their jet lag after approximately two days, whereas the expected time of recovery after traveling across 12 time zones is about six days. These results show that melatonin, exercise, and light exposure significantly decrease the time required to return to normal sleep patterns.
While this study examines the effect of melatonin on people traveling halfway around the world, other studies have shown that melatonin has the same beneficial effect when shorter distances were traveled. The optimal intake amount of melatonin ranges from 0.5 mg to 3 mg and is best taken 30 minutes before bedtime.
In addition to treating jet lag, melatonin may also help those suffering from insomnia and swing shift workers whose sleeping time changes from week to week. Although there is little research to support using melatonin for swing shift workers, given its safety record it would be reasonable to try.
There is emerging research suggesting melatonin may be useful in the treatment of certain types of cancer, particularly when it is taken in conjunction with specific chemotherapy protocols. However, more research is necessary to determine the usefulness of melatonin as an anti-cancer agent.
Although melatonin is generally safe, too much may produce side effects, especially a feeling of being overtired or groggy. Because of this potential side effect, it is recommended not to drive or operate machinery for several hours after taking melatonin. In addition, the long-term safety of melatonin has not been adequately studied; therefore, one should consult a physician before beginning treatment with melatonin to determine whether it is appropriate and in what amounts.

Finger Paintings by Judith BraunJuxtapoz // Sunday, 23 Jan 2011
We are going to be honest and say that finger painting in this way totally baffles us. What Judith Braun is doing here is quite incredible, as she is dipping her fingers in charcoal or pastels to create abstract forms and bilateral symmetry. You can get away with abstract, but this symmetry and skill here is unique.
We were reading that finger painting is common in China, but what Judith is doing here is something we have never seen before.
Thank you to Jocundist.

(Updates with labor market forecast in seventh paragraph.)
Dec. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Dennis Lockhart, a backer of record stimulus, said any decision to taper bond purchases should be accompanied by a limit on the size of the program or a timetable for ending it.
"If and when the FOMC arrives at a decision to wind down asset purchases, it's my view that it will be helpful to the transition process to provide as much certainty as possible about how this will be done," said Lockhart, referring to the Federal Open Market Committee, in a speech in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He doesn't vote on policy this year.
The FOMC will consider scaling back $85 billion in monthly bond buying in coming months based on expected gains in the labor market, according to minutes from the committee's October meeting. The panel is scheduled to meet Dec. 17-18.
The U.S. economy probably added 185,000 jobs last month, and the unemployment rate fell to 7.2 percent from 7.3 percent, according to median estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists before a government report tomorrow.
Lockhart said he is among FOMC participants who favor announcing a "total size of remaining purchases or a timetable for winding down the program." He spoke to Broward Workshop, a local business group.
"I am among those who see merit in this approach as long as the economy follows roughly the path we expect," he said. "Once the decision is made, I favor providing the public as much clarity and certainty as possible about how the change will be executed."
Fed Target
Lockhart predicted the labor market will improve, with inflation rising toward the Fed's target. "My outlook for 2014 calls for some firming in economic activity," he said.

Complementary therapies are part of an integrated approach to health and healthcare. The challenge for complementary therapists and mainstream medical service providers is to work together to produce better outcomes for patients and clients.
The BSc (Hons) Complementary Therapies programme at Cardiff Metropolitan University involves study in three bodywork modalities: holistic massage; clinical aromatherapy; and reflexology. A professional standard of bodywork is ensured by three professional bodies: the Massage Training Institute (MTI); the Association of Reflexologists (AoR); the International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists (IFPA). All three professional bodies are recognised as key in their field.
There is also a strong emphasis on developing research skills and contributing to research capacity within the complementary therapies field. To encourage undergraduates on the programme a prize is awarded to the final year student with the best undergraduate dissertation.

v Vol. 36 No. 17 Women's coach requires contract In an attempt to offer the women athletes of Veber "a better program than the men have." women's coach Joy Wood has imposed training rules in the form of a signed contract on all intercollegiate women's athletic teams at Weber. Wood said that these rules include regulations against smoking and drinking, as well as regulations about going to bed early and generally rules designed to keep them in the best possible shape. Coach Wood said that rules are not really a contract but more of an honor code. She said that if the women do not wish to follow these rules, they can go somewheYe else. Disobedience Punishment for disobeying the contract according to Wood is probation for one quarter which is just about the whole season for any of the women's teams. "These rules will make us better than the men," Wood said. Although there have been complaints that these rules are unfair since the men's teams do not have to follow similar ones. Wood said that if the women want to do better than the men, it follows that they don't want to make the same mistakes. Gary Crompton, assistant athletic director said that he was WELCOME WINTER: While many Ogdenites ate, drank, and watched football games over the long not aware that the women had to sign these contracts, but that, "We have not had our athletes sign anything other than NCAA Weber State College rules. Unaware About the contract', Crompton said, "I am unaware of anything like that ... at one time we got all excited and had all of the athletes sign dress and hair regulations, but we did away with that a . couple of years ago." Wood said that her goal is not to be just like the football or basketball teams, rather "my goal is to offer the women a program they can compete in ... without having to buy their own uniforms or equipment ... so that the women will not have to hold outside jobs as well as play." Improvements She said that the conditions for the women athletes in the past few vears have improved quite a bit. "We are getting a lot more benefits although we. are still nowhere near our final goal," Wood added. One of the areas Wood cited dissatisfaction in is the tendency for the athletic department to treat all women's sports as minor spoi'ts. As far as things like travel go, Wood said, we get the same benefits that teams like golf and cross country get. She said that the women teams almost always have to travel by car even if it means that they will miss several days of school. . .- II..

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

The IRIS Center is a national center that provides high-quality resources about students with disabilities for college and university faculty and professional development trainers. Visit IRIS' website to find free, online, interactive training enhancements that translate research about the education of students with disabilities into practice.
Now, more than ever, instructors and educators understand that achieving the best academic outcomes for the greatest number of students requires something other than a "one-size-fits-all" approach in the classroom. The way to achieve that goal, however, remains a subject of much debate, which leads to confusion and uncertainty. How does a teacher balance the needs of all students and optimize their learning?
Try Differentiated Instruction
Differentiated instruction is an approach that helps teachers adjust their curriculum and instruction to maximize the learning and learning opportunities for all students, regardless of their learning needs or ability level. Differentiated instruction, however, is not a single strategy but, rather, a framework that teachers can use to implement a variety of strategies, many of which are evidence-based. Some of these strategies include:
- Using effective classroom management procedures
- Grouping students for instruction
- Assessing student readiness
- Teaching to the student's zone of proximal development—the point just beyond which a student can complete an instructional task independently
Let's Get Concrete
But how might a teacher go about differentiating instruction in the first place? To help answer this question, the IRIS Center for Training Enhancements has created a new STAR Legacy Module, Differentiated Instruction: Maximizing the Learning of All Students. You can view the module by going to http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/di/chalcycle.htm
All IRIS STAR Legacy Modules are challenge-based. They open with a video depiction of a challenge, problem, or scenario, and are designed to address this challenge and lead module users to a fuller understanding of the larger topic under consideration.
The Teacher's Challenge
Differentiated Instruction: Maximizing the Learning of All Students tells the story of Mr. Shelton, a high school mathematics teacher who has recently encountered a new kind of problem. Here is Mr. Shelton's story, as presented in the module:
Mr. Shelton has taught high school honors and Advanced Placement or AP mathematics courses for the last 23 years. He primarily has used whole-group instruction to present concepts and to model problem-solving processes on the board. His students seem to learn the information and have performed well on in-class tests and AP exams.
Two years ago Mr. Shelton began teaching Algebra I, a required course for all students. Although he is teaching the concepts in the same manner as before, many of his Algebra I students are not performing well. Some of them score poorly on in-class tests; others look bored or even fall asleep during class. Mr. Shelton has heard other teachers talk about things like this in the past but has never experienced them in his own classroom.
Seeking possible reasons for this difference in student performance, he speaks to several Algebra I teachers in his district whose students are performing well. They point out that Mr. Shelton's Algebra I class probably has students with a wider range of ability levels than he is used to. They explain that they use an approach called differentiated instruction to achieve their results.
Mr. Shelton is not sure what differentiated instruction is, so he sets out to learn more.
Meeting the Challenge
Beginning with Mr. Shelton's challenge, the module goes on to examine topics such as:
- Differentiating content
- Differentiating process
- Differentiating product
- Evaluating and grading student performance
- Communicating with students and parents
- Organizing the classroom
- Employing effective behavior management
The module also includes hints and tips on how a teacher can get to know his or her students (e.g., in terms of readiness, interest, and learning profile), as well as information about various strategies for differentiating content and grading student performance. Expert insights and personal experiences are offered in audio interviews with:
- Carol Ann Tomlinson, professor of Educational Leadership at the University of Virginia;
- Michelle Giddens, an assistant principal intern; and
- Lorie Bowman, a second-grade teacher.
With the help of their expertise and experience, and with the module's wealth of resources and information, Differentiated Instruction: Maximizing the Learning of All Students gives a comprehensive picture of what differentiated instruction might look like in a typical school.
Tools to Meet Other Challenges
Visit the IRIS Center for Training Enhancements to find many great teacher resources and training modules for educators in English and in Spanish.
IRIS is a national center based at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College and Claremont Graduate University; it's supported through a federal grant from the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). IRIS creates free and easily accessible materials and resources for college faculty preparing future education professionals and for professional development providers who conduct in-service trainings for current school personnel.
