Shame is a hinderance to education.
In Brené Brown's "Listening to Shame," she describes the difference between guilt and shame: guilt is "I made a mistake" and shame is "I am a mistake." By accepting these definitions, can it not be assumed that shame is not needed in schools? If shame is a personal opinion of oneself, is it not then only a hinderance to gaining an education?
In an article that I wrote recently(jakefrackson.wordpress.com - You Should be Ashamed of Yourself), I discuss shame and its role in education systems. I explore the use of shame and why, I believe, it is not necessary.
Working with the definition of shame above, is shame a hinderance to education?

Seriously though, pitching for the Brewers game would be a great opportunity for me and I would love to help the team return to the postseason. It would also be great to know what the temperature is because my thermometer only goes to 120 down here!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP) -- "You don't have to wait until heaven to be free from pornography."
Heath Lambert sets forth his case for a pornography-free life in his new book, "Finally Free: Fighting for Purity with the Power of Grace."
Lambert, a biblical counseling professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary's undergraduate school, Boyce College in Louisville, Ky., also is executive director of the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors.
Lambert was interviewed about the book by Matt Damico, book review editor for Towers, Southern Seminary's news magazine.
Q: What's the danger involved in viewing pornography?
A: Internet pornography kills us softly and quietly. The women that you fornicate with on the screen are as silent as the grave. And a lot of times you don't find out that someone you love has a problem until they are lost in the abyss.
Q: What's at risk when people think they can maintain a life of Christian discipleship while continuing to view pornography?
A: The lie of Internet pornography says, "I'll do this little thing over here, and it's nasty and ugly, but when it's done I can cover it up and go back to the rest of my life." The problem is that sin doesn't stay covered up. You think you can control it, but you can't. It will break out and it will ruin your life.
The worst consequences are the ones stored up over a long period of time. So the men who are doing this are sipping on poison that will eventually kill their ministry efforts and their marriage and family. They're destroying their lives and effectiveness for Christ and they don't even understand it.
Q: In the process of "putting off" the old man and "putting on" the new, what are some of the thoughts, actions and attitudes that people struggling with pornography should seek to put on?
A: One is gratitude. Men who look at porn are greedy for things they don't have. That's the logic of lust: I'm greedy for the things I don't have. Gratitude is the antidote to that. Gratitude says, "Whatever the Lord has given me is what I'll be thankful for."
So as men grow and cultivate the fruit of gratitude, they grow in defeating the problem of pornography.
Another is humility. The only people who look at pornography are arrogant people. James tells us that selfish ambition leads to every vile practice. So, if viewing pornography is a vile practice, then viewing it stems from a heart that is selfish. It's arrogance; it's a prideful attitude of the heart. And one of the main virtues we can use to fight that is the fruit of humility.
Q: How are pastors particularly vulnerable to pornography?
A: There's a recent statistic that says 75 percent of pastors do nothing to make themselves accountable to anyone in regard to pornography. I think that, in this pornographic age, it's reckless and irresponsible for ministers of the Gospel to take no measures to insulate themselves from pornography. The reality is that pornography is looking for you.
Pastors who are really concerned to protect themselves, their families and their flock from this silent killer need to be serious about putting some kind of accountability measures in their life, whether it's an accountability partner to be honest with and pray with, or Internet filters and protection for phone and devices.
Q: Ultimately, what hope do people have to overcome the struggle with pornography?
A: Romans 6 says our old self was crucified so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. So, when you're in Christ, porn is not your master. Jesus Christ is. Nobody's going to be looking at porn in heaven, and the Good News of the Gospel is that you don't have to wait until heaven to be free from pornography. You have the Spirit right now who gives life to your mortal body so that you can walk in victory. In perfection? No. In victory? Yes.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Trading on Expectations
Beyond the numbers, Cramer noted Diageo also has the least exposure to Europe, just 21% of sales, while having the largest exposure to emerging markets at 40%. With 58% gross margins, Cramer said Diageo would be his way to play this red-hot sector.
Despite this, Cramer said that while Diageo has had a great run he would wait for a pullback before pulling the trigger.
Lightning Round
Here's what Cramer had to say about callers' stocks during the "Lightning Round":
Wells Fargo (WFC): "It's time for more Wells Fargo!"Magnum Hunter Resources (MHR): "It's a great spec on oil. Oil needs to hit $110 before it'll really kick in though." First Solar (FSLR): "Come on. That was the first good quarter that you could sell off of. I'm a seller, not a buyer. " Roundy's Supermarket (RNDY): "Very disappointing. I'll be revisiting this one." American Capital Agency (AGNC): "That yield is good. I like AGNC. It's done a good job." Liquidity Services (LQDT): "I like this model and I think it's OK. I would dip my toe in it here." Oracle (ORCL): "I am not going to go against Oracle in the fourth quarter when it's seasonally strong." Ellington Financial (EFC): "I think it's fine. This is a residential REIT." Westar Energy (WR): "That is a terrific company with a great yield. Safety never takes a vacation."
Mad MailIn the "Mad Mail" viewer feedback segment, Cramer followed up on Jazz Pharmaceutical (JAZZ), a stock that stumped him on an earlier show. Cramer said he likes this company. He was also bullish on Gaylord Entertainment (GET), a company that will be converting itself into a real estate investment trust in the near future. His final stumper, NXP Semiconductors (NXPI). Cramer said this company could have a nice spike higher during the fall season. When asked about Kodiak Oil & Gas (KOG), Cramer said this stock has been too hot and needs to cool off before investors buy in. Likewise with Hershey Foods (HSY), where Cramer advised selling half a position and letting the rest run.

Las Cruces, NM — Las Cruces Police have arrested a man they say tried to run over three employees of the Jack Key automobile dealership on Friday, November 18.
Matthew Cardon, 31, is charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after police allege he reversed at a high rate of speed in his 2008 Pontiac G6, nearly striking three employees. The altercation began after Cardon allegedly tried to provoke a fight with one of the employees of the dealership.
Cardon then drove away, but was located by Las Cruces Police as he walked back toward the Jack Key dealership. Cardon is being held at the Dona Ana County Detention Center with a cash-only bond set at $8,000.

They released a self titled EP soon after that, and played anywhere and everywhere that would have them, culminating with Hammerfest and a headline spot on the Young Bloods stage at Hard Rock Hell in 2010.

"Poignant, funny and ultimately winning." – Time Out New York
"A charming and surprisingly moving coming-of-age tale, A Birder's Guide to Everything gives the noble art of birding its due." – NPR
"A scene-stealing Ben Kingsley keeps the action rolling in this gentle coming-of-age comedy." – Ronnie Scheib, Variety
Sideways meets Stand by Me in this endearing story of friendship, family and a place in bird watching's history books. On the eve of his widower father's second wedding, fifteen-year-old David Portnoy (Kodi Smit-McPhee, Let Me In) spots what may just be the extinct Labrador duck. Now he and the two other stalwart members of the local Young Birders Society, joined by their headstrong photographer classmate Ellen (Katie Chang, The Bling Ring), take off on a rollicking interstate road trip in search of a rare bird and elusive answers to teenage questions both large and small. With marvelous supporting performances by James LeGros as David's semi-oblivious father and Oscar-winner Ben Kingsley as an eccentric legend in the birding community, A Birder's Guide to Everything is an alternately poignant and funny window into the thoughtful world of birding and the inner peace that can be discovered during a walk in the woods. Director Rob Meyer delivers a compelling feature film debut with a coming-of-age tale to warm the hearts of anyone who grew up with a nerdy passion. (Dir. by Rob Meyer, 2013, USA, 86 mins., Rated PG-13, Screen Media) Digital

Hiya! I'm neck-deep in epidemiological equations *sob* but I wanted to show some dinner love to the two amazing recipes I tried this week!
First up, Daily Garnish's Strawberry, Avocado & Tofu Summer Salad:
Oh boy, this was a good one. Soft red leaf lettuce, sweet and juicy strawberries, buttery hunks of ripe avocado, wonderfully fragrant fresh basil, crunchy sunflower seeds and simple coconut oil-fried tofu (which crisped up to golden perfection using this tutorial), all drizzled with a sweet-and-tangy homemade dressing.
This doesn't take long to throw together and it makes enough for two large servings. It was surprisingly filling for a salad, too! I highly recommend making it as soon as possible. :)
Next up, the Spicy Potato & Black Bean Burritos from Oh She Glows:
These were also ridiculously easy. I added some ground chipotle chile pepper for extra heat, and it was a good call. (I'm crazy for spicy!)
I topped my (way over-stuffed) burrito with chunky salsa, fresh cilantro and sliced avocado.
The combination of buttery, sweet potatoes with the black beans and spices was amazing. And isn't *everything* better with avocado?
(The answer is YES.)
Speaking of avocado…
Love his Sunday morning bed head ;)
My little guys have been digging green smoothies lately! It's a great way to sneak all kinds of healthy food into their diet, like chia seeds, flax meal, spinach and avocado. I swear you can't taste any of it! (Trust me, my kids would throw a fit if those magical ingredients were at all detectable.)
I like to blend vanilla almond or flax milk, frozen banana chunks, frozen mango, pineapple or berries, flax meal, chia seeds, a handful of spinach and up to half of a large avocado together, with a touch of agave nectar to sweeten the deal. They love it, and I love that they're happily slurping down a nutrient-packed smoothie. :)
Bonus salad pic:
Yesterday's lunch
I'm going to rename this blog 'The Salad Blog'
Spinach, green cabbage, tomato, carrot, red bell pepper, zucchini, leftover roasted broccolini, steamed asparagus, DJ's Hummus Salad Dressing (from Let Them Eat Vegan!) and the rest of Gena's Curried Chickpea Salad (I'm bummed that it's gone- that recipe is now a fave of mine, too).
That's all I got. See ya tomorrow for another What I Ate Wednesday post. :)

More than one in five residents in Canada was born in another country, making it one of the world's top destinations for international migrants. From its migration policymaking aimed at identifying and recruiting workers needed by the Canadian economy, to its immigrant integration policies, and efforts to recruit skilled migrants and international students, the research collected here focuses on the diverse policies, practices, and trends that Canada is experiencing.
MPI Policy Analyst Deborah Waller Meyers examines the Smart Border agreements signed by the U.S. with Canada and Mexico in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.
This report describes the range of policies available to improve immigrants' economic integration through language acquisition, especially those focused on getting immigrants into jobs or moving into higher-paying jobs. It assesses promising models and practices from Europe and North America.
Information and technology are centerpieces of a new border architecture that seeks to respond to the competing demands of facilitating mobility and managing cross-border risks while remaining cost-efficient and respectful of rights and privacy. This report shows how governments must approach border management systems to ensure properly balanced development.
This report details the post-9/11 programs and agreements implemented by U.S. and European governments to identify terrorists and serious transnational criminals through the collection and processing of increasing quantities of traveler data.
This report provides an overview of diaspora advocacy by looking at five issues: who participates in diaspora advocacy, who or what are the "targets" in these efforts, what means are used to advance these causes, what are the issues on which they focus, and the effectiveness of the efforts.
This edited volume examines the development impact of diasporas in six critical areas: entrepreneurship, capital markets, "nostalgia" trade and "heritage" tourism, philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy.
Nearly 1 million U.S. residents spend time volunteering abroad each year, including nearly 200,000 first- and second-generation immigrants. As skilled migration and the number of U.S. youth with ancestors in the developing world grow, this report shows the potential for diaspora service volunteers to assist with development in a number of countries.
Breakfast briefing with T. Alexander Aleinikoff, Demetrios G. Papademetriou, and Kathleen Newland.
This volume, by a former senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission, argues that the U.S. approach to immigration and border security is off-kilter and not keeping pace with the scope and complexity of people's movement around the world, nor with expectations regarding freedom of movement.

Much of the typical advice on ice damming overlooks the role played by home design. For example, it's clear that complex rooflines increase the likelihood of ice buildup. Dormers, valleys, and other breaks in the roof plane are all places where insulation has to be cut, seamed, and fit into place. Plus, these areas are frequently difficult or impossible to adequately ventilate. The solution isn't to get rid of these features, but to do a better job with air-sealing, insulation, and ventilation in the original construction.
Skylights. Any penetration through the ceiling is an opportunity for heat to escape into the attic, and skylights are no exception. Wells connecting the skylight with the ceilings are usually wrapped in fiberglass batts, which tend to settle and sag over time, resulting in heat loss. That's why I use spray foam around all such penetrations, even if the rest of the house is insulated with batts. Closed-cell spray foam seals any air gaps and provides an R-value of 6.5 per inch.
Cathedral ceilings. With a cathedral ceiling the chance of ice damming rises exponentially, particularly if there are skylights or recessed lights. Even with insulation installed to code, cathedral ceilings by their very nature allow interior heat to get closer to the roof deck. There is also far less space for efficient ventilation, making them a great breeding ground for monster ice dams.
Shed dormers. In some older homes, shed dormers with 2x4 or 2x6 rafters make it impossible to get enough R-value from fiberglass. Here I use closed-cell spray insulation to create a hot roof with no roof ventilation. Although some people have theorized that hot roofs aren't a good choice for snow country, I have had no problems with these installations.
Eaves. In general, the smaller the eaves, the more likely the home will have ice dams. Small eaves have less room for vents, and the smaller vents are more likely to clog. A few paint jobs can be all it takes to choke off adequate air flow. To test soffit vents, we use a yard blower to move air up through the vents, with someone stationed in the attic to make sure the air paths are clear. (Bring your dust mask!) If the lights are off, the person stationed in the attic should also see daylight coming in at the eaves or through the insulation chutes. While we're at it, we also look for daylight coming through the upper half of the vent system - ridge vents, gable vents, or box vents.
I seldom see an overventilated attic. You want as much airflow through the attic and truss spaces as is reasonably possible. Unfortunately, most homes we see have minimal attic ventilation. On homes troubled with frequent ice dams, I recommend adding more ventilation whenever possible, especially on a complex roof. One way to do this is to add gable vents, which in my opinion are underused. When it's architecturally appropriate, we install gable vents in addition to soffit vents. As a rule, houses built after 1955 tend to have better roof ventilation than older homes.
Roofing types. On very shallow roof slopes we try not to use asphalt shingles, even if it's allowed by code. Where it fits with the home's design, a single-ply roof system like EPDM is a great choice. If the roof is visible from the ground or from inside the home, I prefer metal roofs, either standing seam or soldered flat seam. Architecturally, metal roofs look great on low slopes, even if the rest of the roofing is a different material.
Besides being a profitable side business in our climate, snow and ice removal is a great way to connect with prospective clients. If your company doesn't do roofing, you can probably contract with your favorite roofers to do the snow removal. They will have the necessary insurance and safety equipment, and will probably be happy to have work during the winter. As for us, we perform all of our work under rope and harness to keep things safe.

Making a Business of Ice Dams - Images 23-27
The author puts safety first when mounting roofs to remove snow and ice.
The crews use commercial-grade steamers to cut ice into chunks that can be safely tossed to the ground.
The steamer is modified for easy flushing with antifreeze.
A wood block attached to the base of the steamer wand prevents damage to asphalt shingles.
Shingles are undamaged by the steamer wand.
When to remove snow from the roof depends on the house: Some homes can handle 10 to 20 inches before we worry; others can start having problems at 2 inches. It also depends on what we can negotiate with the client. In some cases they might want us to come out only when there's a snowfall of more than 4 inches. Or they might like to receive an e-mail whenever conditions are right for ice dams.
Snow can be removed with roof rakes, a stiff broom, and a plastic shovel. It's important to use plastic rather than metal to lessen the chance of damaging the roof shingles. In most cases - though it's more expensive up-front - I recommend removing all the snow from the roof rather than just the bottom few feet. After all, it's the snowmelt from the upper half of the roof, where the warm air in the attic collects, that feeds the ice dam.
Removing ice dams is a bit tougher. We have repaired hundreds of roofs that have been damaged by homeowners and even well-intentioned professionals using hammers, picks, and hatchets to attack the problem. No matter what anyone says, never trust those kinds of tools for removing ice dams; companies that use those methods due so only because they can't or won't invest in professional equipment.
Our company has been using commercial steamers for over 20 years. When used properly, steamers are very effective and totally safe for roofs. Even so, I've seen terrible damage done to homes by inexperienced users. Steamers are powerful but finicky machines. The problem is that you're running cold water outside in a hose, and unless you know what you're doing, that water is going to freeze and ruin your $5,000 steamer. Over the years we've modified our machines to keep everything running in the cold, using a system that allows us to flush the steamer with anti-freeze between jobs. We collect and reuse the anti-freeze with each cycle.
Another simple modification we made was to clamp a piece of oak to the bottom of the steamer wand. Though the wand can heat up to 300°F, the oak keeps it off the roof surface so that it doesn't mar the asphalt shingles. We use the steamer to undercut the ice dam and to slice it into blocks about 12 to 18 inches long, depending on the thickness. Then we gently pick up each block and throw it off the roof, making sure there is nothing or no one below (the blocks weigh 40 to 60 pounds apiece).

It's not going to be long before we start seeing some really steamy temperatures. The last thing you're going to want to have happen is something to go wrong with your central air.
Jeff Lee spoke with Keith, one of his technicians, about the ins and outs of what is called A/C reconditioning.
What exactly are the benefits of having your air conditioner reconditioned?
"You can save money, fewer breakdowns, and better all around performance throughout the year," Keith said.
Can you share a couple of the things you do when you recondition an old A/C unit?
"We check the amp draws to ensure the motor's working like (it) should work. We check the electrical components to make sure there (are) no burnt connections. We check the freon levels to ensure proper cooling in the house, and we clean the outdoor condensing coil ... to allow proper cooling of the condenser," Keith explained.
Watch the video above to see more of Keith and Jeff's conversation on air conditioner reconditioning.
A/C reconditioning is kind of an intense cleaning and tuning. They generally range in cost, depending on your company, anywhere from $69 to $99, but it's the best way that you can continue to save money and keep you air conditioning running well all summer long.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency sent letters to residents of the Como neighborhood in southeast Minneapolis on Wednesday, Nov. 6 to alert them of an ongoing investigation of potentially harmful vapors.
The vapors in question are trichloroethylene (TCE), an industrial solvent used at the former General Mills research facility at 2010 E. Hennepin Avenue from the 1940s to early 1960s.
TCE waste was dumped into a pit at the research site, which MPCA has been aware of for more than 30 years. Under the agency's oversight, General Mills pumped and treated groundwater at the contaminated site for 25 years.
Groundwater testing found TCE concentrations significantly declined, to the point that the MPCA approved the shutdown of the treatment systems in September 2010. Drinking water in the area was never a health issue since the neighborhood is connected to city water.
Soil vapor testing was required as the next step in the process. In October 2013, data showing TCE in soil gas samples triggered an alert to residents from the MPCA and health department.
Tuesday, Nov. 12
Van Cleve Recreation Center
901 15th Ave. SE, Minneapolis
12:30-3 p.m. and 5:00-7:30 p.m.
At these meetings, residents and property owners will be informed of the testing locations and procedure, as well as the potential health risks of TCE. Environmental testing at the properties will be performed in the method approved by the MPCA. Testing will begin as soon as testing and mitigation plans are approved and access agreements are signed by property owners.
If TCE levels in the soil beneath any property are above the safe level set by the MPCA and Minnesota Department of Health, General Mills has agreed to install vapor ventilation systems, which work like radon mitigation systems.
There is no cost to residents or property owners for testing or mitigation. Vapor intrusion mitigation systems will be offered and installed at no cost in affected homes.
