Laura's Corner
I work very hard and am attending college to obtain my degree in the Human Service field. Writing makes me feel alive and gives me the opportunity to touch those whom I would not be able to otherwise. Last but not least, I have been blessed with two amazing daughters who love me completely and support my dreams. Feel free to contact me with questions, concerns or feedback.
As a young girl, drinking was a favorite past-time at each of our family parties. I recall at the ripe old age of 10 sneaking wine to make wine coolers with my sisters. Not once were we caught. Fortunately, it was not something we became addicted to, but we sure had fun in the process.
A-hole is not a color
I consider myself a reasonable person, able to get along with mostly everyone. I do not believe we are all meant to be BFF's, but we are at least to make enough of an effort to be polite. I
do believe you have the right to choose whomever you want in your
"circle" of friends network and that by your choice your true
personality will shine, (or dull).
I hate to admit this, but I believe certain individuals are a-holes. This applies towards both men and women. I could throw in the "B" word, but I am trying to be most effective with the former offense.
LIFE AFTER DEATH aka DATING AFTER DIVORCEPer recent statistics, it states that half of all marriages will fail and eventually wind up in the eventual tornado of divorce.
Being married for a number of years gives one the security of having someone at home waiting for you. It is possible the both of you have been monogamous and therefore experienced intimacy without barriers. It allowed a certain type of freedom from running to and fro the drugstore "just in case".
Although the idea of dating scares many, for others it brings hope that love will once again cross their paths. Dating in general is daunting, yet how many of us are truly prepared for intimacy with a stranger? Courting is so different today than 10 years ago. For those who have not used any source of protection now have to consider the fact that it is the only way to go. Even if you have an amazing date, chances are she may have had an amazing date last week which lead to a roll in the hay. How is one to know to ask certain questions? Is it easier said than done?
I recall being single for the first time in many years. My children were young and I had no clue as to the first step in dating. I was single for quite a few months and eventually met someone at the wedding of my sister. He was charming, exciting and we laughed. Eventually things progressed and I fell into relationship mode. Although things eventually ended, what my sister had "forgotten" to tell me was that this man had very poor tendencies. Definitely not my cup of tea.
How is one to meet someone of the opposite or same sex? What are the rules and how do we go about it most effectively? As someone who has been in the dating arena for many years, I have a few tips and ideas. Being a single mom has put a twist on how I approach things yet has kept me in check more than once.
An interesting way to meet men and women of course is via the internet. You can do a trial period on some popular sites to get your feet wet. Be very careful about whom you choose to communicate with. Read the entire profile word for word. If at any time you feel uncomfortable, move on. Delete, block or just say no. No need for explanations. If you see someone who catches your eye, wink or send an email. After that, let it go. Do not send additional emails. If you get a response which is a "no thanks" or "I met someone recently", then move on. If you do receive an email to your liking, respond within a timely manner. Keep it short and sweet. Suggest talking on the phone within 24 hours and see what happens. I believe the best policy is to meet within 5 days. Even if you are crossing paths or both at the mall within the same time period, suggest meeting for a couple of minutes. That is usually all it takes to get a good first impression.
It is very important to keep your personal information private. As a woman, I always block my phone number prior to talking with a stranger. I give them the general vicinity regarding where I live and tell them I work for company which specializes in whatever my line of work is. I try to keep the conversation short, sweet and to the point. If I feel that we have a few things in common regarding ethics and sense of humor, I suggest a date. It is always somewhere public and sometimes in a place where I know others.
If you find someone you like, spend time with that person. Eventually you should be able to discuss your ideas regarding sex and intimacy. Take your time, no need to rush. At an older age, it is so much more important to meet quality people regardless. If it is meant to be, it will happen. It is important to find out if your eventual partner has any STD's and their idea regarding birth control. Even if the both of you have had any type of sterilization, it is still important to use protection. If you have not used it in many years, it is important to begin today.
The most important bit of advice I can give would be to take your time. It is necessary to give yourself time to heal after a divorce. Dating will give you necessary stepping stones prior to your next commitment and should be a time to learn about what single life is like compared to before. Our duty as adults should be to be pleasant, honest and contribute to the conversation. It is always very important to ask questions and listen as well. After the date, make a list of what you liked and also did not like. You will eventually build a resume for the person you would like to spend your life with.
Above all, dating should be fun and stress free. Take this time to enjoy activities which you may have long forgotten to appease your former partner. Better yet, join a singles group and discover a new passion. Work on your personal health and well being to ensure a balanced relationship. You never know, Mr. or Mrs. may be "Right" around the corner.

Thinking about the year that was, we present a rewind of some of the best outdoor-oriented videos (in no particular order) we ogled in 2011. For optimal bedazzlement, we suggest viewing in full screen and HD; maybe even cue them up on the flat screen.
All promotional videos (this one for tourism in Finland) should be this good:
A timelapse view of the Canary Islands, with some amazing cloud sequences, by photographer/videographer Daniel Lopez of Spain:
This was a huge internet hit when it debuted in April—The Mountain (filmed on and around Spain's tallest mountain, El Teide), by Norway's Terje Sorgjerd:
A promotional trailer for TimeScapes, the debut film of photographer Tom Lowe:
A lovely look at Oregon; a Q&A with the creators of the production appeared in a Nov. 30 post on The REI Blog.
Landscapes: Volume Two by Dustin Farrell (gorgeous; in case viewing becomes choppy, try the Firefox browser):
At The REI Blog, we're big fans of videographer Yosemite Steve and his artfully interpretive Yosemite Nature Notes short-film series. His 2011 output included a study of the glow-in-the-flow phenomenon of Horsetail Fall, a close-up look at high-elevation flora (Sky Islands), and a fascinating feature on waterfalls after dark, Moonbows:
An homage to the Wilderness Act of 1964:
And finally, a timelapse view of earth from the International Space Station at some point between August and October, from a height estimated at 218 miles (350km).
Like, wowsa. Lots of beautiful reminders that life is really, really good when you're outdoors, even when it's seen from outer space. Did one clip in particular emerge as your favorite?

Here's how RW members rated this race (1537 votes).
Date of review: November 14, 2013
In short: It was my first marathon and I could not have picked a better city!Date of review: October 10, 2013
In short: Potentially a good race but poor organisationIn full: The race was ok but I left feeling there could be plenty of improvement:More toilets at the start needed, pretty woeful, my local half has more. I risked disqualification by using the bushes.Start delayed due to the half marathon.The first half is quick, but the second half has plenty of undulations, at the end of a marathon these can feel pretty steep. Certainly not as quick as the organisers made out.Dreary out and back section.Finish was uneven plastic, almost fell over.Finding the baggage trucks wasn't simple, I finished in just over 3 hours so there werent many people so those finishing in the crowds must've struggled.Goody bag, terrible. e-Goody bag even worse. This is compounded by the cost of the race itself.Made the trip to the expo before hand, not worth me walking there on the Saturday.Long walk back to the buses which seemed like madness after a marathon.At least there were showers at the finish, but they were cold.I might do it again, but not for a while.Date of review: July 11, 2013
In short: Good PB potential but organisation could do with improvementIn full: I have run quite a few half marathons for comparison.Overall I felt the PB potential lived up to expectation and the course was great, apart from the long out and back section at the end which was mentally hard work.The start was good with lots of space. Luckily I didn't need the toilet or I probably would have missed the start and finish of the race whilst still queueing- more toilets next year would be great.The finish was the biggest disappointment, the volunteers organising bags were clearly doing their best but at one point the chap next to me pointed out that they seemed to be creating an art attack that neil buchannon would be proud off! The long walk back to the buses and following long journey back to the city centre was expected so I can't complain but I can't help but think there must be a better way.I did enjoy the actual run though and I would do it again though, having grumbled!Date of review: June 26, 2013
In short: Better organisation could make this a very good eventIn full: Some improvements - baggage excellent, finish area better - but some lapses - poor goody bag and T-shirt, no sports drinks, poor results service (STILL some errors on webpage). Fast start but the middle section drags, slow circuit round Gosford House, still no improvement to the post-race transport.Date of review: June 21, 2013
In short: Lovely place to run, no dull bits other than the long switchback.In full: This was my first Marathon and I enjoyed it even though it was a very warm day.Plenty of water was provided and energy gels were available and needed.Didn't enjoy the lack of regular distance signage over the last couple of miles and no countdown markers for last mile,I had no clue where the finish line was as you cannot see until you turn a corner and then its a 100 yards over uneven plastic matting.The long walk to the shuttle buses back was poor as well.But overall I would go again as Edinburgh is so nice.Date of review: June 18, 2013
In short: A great race with supportibve localsDate of review: June 18, 2013
In short: Less than smooth routeIn full: This was my first marathon, and I guess a gentle introduction. However, even with no experience there were some things I did not enjoy:A higgledy piggledy course route - not the lovely open roads I was anticipating but tight corners, 180 switchbacks and a very random loop at about mile 18 seemingly tacked on to make the mileage up.What supporters there were, were great. But the friends I came with said getting to a view point was nigh on impossible. Miles 15-20 seemed in the middle of nowhere and if you went there to spectate there was no way you'd make it back to the finish line in time. Partly due to traffic. The start being in two waves was annoying as myself and one friend were in the first wave, but our other two friends were in the second wave at the other starting point, our spectator friends didn't know where best to stand.Queues for toilets at the start a bit ridiculousGoody bag, well, not good.Energy stations a long time coming and not many.Good things:Medal and t-shirtPlenty of water on offerFairly flat routeOnly took 3 minutes to cross the start lineDate of review: June 17, 2013
In short: Amazing race, amazing spectators, amazing day! My first marathon and I've got the marathon bug!Date of review: June 11, 2013
In short: ok race but poor organisation need to look at how Chester do it!In full: This was a mixed race with some good aspects but was badly let down by key organisational elements. The start suffered from an ability to hear the PA and a lack of toilets. The course was good apart from the loop section the surface was appalling. it certainly wasn't as fast and flat as the organisers suggested. there were plenty of well manned water stations but there was a complete lack of energy drinks not a great idea. My biggest complaint however was the organisation at the finish. the finish area was chaotic not well organsaised and a nightmare from a spectators perspective. the goody bag was terrible although the T-shirt was excellent!The transport back to the start was terrible a 1.6 mile walk half of it up hill is a crazy idea at the end of a marathon whoevers idea that was has clearly never ran a a marthon! the fact it took 90 mins to get back to the centre didnt help neither did the bus dropping off near dynamic earth was't greatThe organsiation would need to get significantly better before I'd consider running it. The organisers should take a trip to Chester in October to see what good organisation looks like Date of review: June 11, 2013

Killingly High School's young gymnasts work hard on their routines
By Denise Coffey
Killingly - posted Tue., Feb. 1, 2011
Deary's gymnasium was filled with gymnasts on Jan. 28. Six teams shared the gym that evening in order to make up for lost time due to snow storm cancellations. Killingly High School, Woodstock Academy and Stonington competed against each other. Norwich Free Academy was using the gym because it doesn't have one of its own. And teams from Plainfield and Windham were there, as well. Plainfield carried four gymnasts on its team but not all of them participated in all four events.
Woodstock Academy refused to lose, with high scores in each of the four events. Shaila Segal scored 9.55 on the vault, 9.35 on the bars and 9.5 on the floor routine. Courtney Osborn of Woodstock took the top score in the beam event with a 9.1.
Lexi Mazzarella came in second with her score of 9.1 on the floor routine.
"The choreography goes with music. They have to have a somersault, a connection of three skills in a row. They have to have a leap combination, with three skills in a row, that kind of stuff," explained Killingly's gymnastics coach, Robin Deary-Filmore. "We have someone choreograph it. Sometimes they pick the song and sometimes I pick it," she said.
Killingly's team took the second and third spots in the bars with a 9.0 and 8.8 from Lexi and Taylor Mazzarella respectively.
Lexi Mazzarella scored an 8.8 on the beam for a third place individual finish.
Woodstock Academy came in first with a team score of 140.05. Killingly came in with 131.1 and Stonington compiled 120.6 points.
Sheila Segal from Woodstock Academy had an all-around score of 37.40. Courtney Osborn from WA had 35.6 and Lexi Mazzarella from Killingly came in with an all-around score of 35.2.
Coach's Corner
Robin Deary-Filmore has been coaching for 25 years. She is proud of her young team. "They are very young. They are working very hard. They are pulling themselves together as a young team, staying healthy and working hard. They know they have a small team, so all their routines have to count."
Spotlight player:
Junior Lexie Gevry is the oldest member of Killingly's Gymnastic team. She will perform in the 7-10 meets the school hopes to fit in this season. She hopes her team will make it to the States and the Open.

Altia Design is simulation graphics software that, without the need for graphics programming, helps engineers quickly build a real-time, interactive control, and visualization graphical user interface (GUI) for their Simulink, Stateflow, and dSPACE models. This GUI, which looks and behaves like the product's real user interface, makes model design, debugging, and testing significantly more accurate and efficient. Altia graphics can be used by the entire development team by connecting to common tools utilized by industrial design, control, electrical, systems and software engineering. By connecting all tools to a common GUI model, precise expression of system behavior and clear communication between the different departments involved in design of the embedded system is possible. Customers and managers who need to make critical development and product decisions can easily operate and understand the simulation, providing valuable feedback early in product specification and design. The GUI can be distributed, viewed, and run on a Web browser, helping engineers in different locations collaborate efficiently.
Once testing and validation of the simulation model is complete, the same Altia Design GUI used during development can be converted to graphics code that can be deployed even on low power hardware. Contact Altia for details about the code generation component of their toolchain.

Natia Mzhavanadze
TC Degree & Year of Graduation: MA, 2007
Current position: Program in International Education, University of Massachusetts-Amherst
Before TC: Natia is from the republic of Georgia. She received her Bachelor's degree in journalism, and soon after graduating, she worked for a non-governmental organization that served marginalized youth. Sunny House was an NGO that aimed to provide "educational opportunities to youth who had the potential but limited opportunities to prosper and achieve success." A collaboration between the Georgian government and the Open Society Institute provided Natia with the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to pursue a Masters degree. It was at this point that Natia applied and was accepted to the IED/CIE program at Teachers College.
While at TC: Natia considers herself lucky to have had the opportunity to study IED at TC: "I was really fortunate because in countries like Georgia it's very hard to work in international education." Natia recounts her time at TC as a transformative experience that enabled her to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. In fact, she remembers specific courses that changed the way she thought about education and gave her the tools to apply this learning in the field. According to Natia, Comparative Education, Finance and Planning, Resource Allocation, and Economic Development were the courses that had the greatest impact on her. One of the recurring assignments among these courses was the sector report, which helped Natia develop a skill that is essential to international educational development work. In addition to report-writing skills, Natia gained valuable research skills. For one of the culminating projects for International Educational Policy, a course taught by Gita Steiner-Khamsi, Natia conducted extensive research and developed a report on the national examinations in Georgia. Though she was not aware of it at the time, this specific project would prepare her for her future work with the Georgian National Examination Center. Ultimately, Natia would return to Georgia with a new way of thinking about education in her home country: "[The program in IED/CIE] gave me a more global perspective on educational issues. After TC courses, I viewed Georgian education system as part of global system of education."
After TC: After getting her MA in IED, Natia joined the team at the National Examination Center in Georgia. She was thrilled to be a part of the growing movement to improve education—a sector that was experiencing wide-scale and fast-developing reforms. She assumed the role of National Project Manager for PISA (Program in International Student Assessment.) Natia managed the translation, verification and adaptation of test instruments into Georgian, administered the study and created international and national reports in addition to working on other international studies at the center.
However, the results of the PISA study, which suggested a need for improvement in many areas, were not fully embraced by political authorities. However as the circumstances keep changing, the hope that Georgia would return to international studies is valid.
Current Work: Supported once again by the Open Society Institute, Natia is now pursuing a doctoral degree in International Education at the Center of International Education at the Department of Policy, Research and Administration at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Her research interests are in post-soviet educational seetings.
Words of Advice: "When I think about my TC experience, I think about my relationships with my peers, the sharing of perspectives and ideas was very valuable. This helped me not only as a professional, but also as a person. I kept in contact with Henry Levin because I translated his book, Cost Effectiveness, into Georgian. I am also in touch with Fenot Aklog, who has provided great emotional support for me.""I would definitely keep in touch with professors. Because TC professors are the people that are really active in the field. Of course, going to the [CIES] conferences. And think of ways to reconnect with TC and the resources and the people who are still there."

You make a case against the Koch brothers for media ownership and don't mention that George Soros has been doing this for years, and quite successfully, to influence liberal socialists like you through the media.
The Koch brothers have the courage to challenge the Ayers and Soros of the world. I pray they've got the money that might result in a balance in the media that is certainly missing at the moment.
Too bad a lead story in The New York Times this week confirming the U.S. Department of Agriculture fraudulently handed out $4.4 billion to minorities who claimed farm loan discrimination failed to make the pages of this newspaper. The Times confirmed that these handouts were nothing but vote-buying by President Obama.

Just about everyone is getting into the act – planning for the greening of the American West. This means creating huge new sources of renewable energy – particularly solar and wind energy – and building mega-high voltage powerlines to transport that energy to Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle, and other major metropolitan centers hereabouts. First, we learned about the West-Wide Energy Corridors plan, which, among other things, would cut a wide swath across San Miguel County. Now, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi talks about the need for a "smart grid." Western governors said recently they'd push for major energy infrastructure projects, which could be part of the new Obama Administration's economic stimulus package.
In the waning days of the Bush Administration, the plan, said to have originated in former Vice-President Dick Cheney's office, won approval for the West-Wide Corridors Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. The energy industry, the environmental community, and political leaders agree that the Obama Administration will likely have new ideas about transforming the west into a "smart grid." Leading decision-makers will be Colorado's former U.S. Senator Ken Salazar, now Secretary of Interior, and California's Steven Chu, a top clean energy expert who now heads the new administration's Energy Department.
In addition, the new Congress and its Democratic majority are expected to be "more open to new ideas," according to a spokesperson for U.S. Representative Raul Grijalva (D-AZ). Grijalva was a leading critic of the West Wide Corridors proposal, which would cover 6,000 miles and almost 3 million acres of public land. In Denver, Alex Douie, of The Wilderness Society, says while TWS "supports designation of energy corridors," the current corridors proposal is seriously flawed. Douie says new congressional hearings on this vast energy grid "could happen." Environmental organizations, such as TWS, "are looking forward to working with the new administration," Douie adds.
Tom Darin, transmission specialist with the Denver-based Western Resource Advocates, is keeping a steady eye on energy corridor proposals. He says grouping gas, oil and electric power – "multiple linear components" – into a single location is probably a good idea. But too many aspects of the corridor plan are not well coordinated with the existing western grid or, among other things, designed for the lowest impact on the western landscape.
Darin directed me to WRA's online publication – "Smart Lines, Transmission for the Renewable Energy Economy." This 20-plus page document outlines the group's position on "clean energy (that is) reliable, affordable and better for the West."
WRA (formerly the Land and Water Fund) notes that projected energy demand will require from 15,000 megawatts to 30,000 new megawatts "of clean energy in the western states over the next decade." The report is illustrated with dozens of photographs and maps that show a maze of existing and future energy transportation layouts. In one section, titled "Smart Energy Corridors to protect land and wildlife," WRA says: "New power lines for renewable energy sources must avoid the iconic landscapes of the American West. The current federal proposal for 'west-wide energy corridors' in 11 western states would impact national parks, monuments, wildlife refuges, and other wild places." Among those are Utah's nearby (and glorious) Arches National Park and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
Club 20 Executive Director Reeves Brown says so far the energy corridors issue "isn't a front burner item" for the Western Colorado group. Despite the Club's enthusiasm for big-time oil and gas development on the West Slope, Brown suggests that the federal agencies will likely "work with local communities" to find acceptable locations for these energy paths which in some locations could run up to five miles wide. (San Miguel County, along with several other Western Slope counties, has recently dropped its membership in the Club, citing what the counties see as the Club's enthusiastic endorsement of oil and gas development.)
Curiously, so far I haven't been able to find any spokesperson for the O and G industry who is willing to talk about the energy corridors issues.
And when I caught up with Telluride's Wes Perrin, newly installed president of the local San Miguel Power Association's board of directors, he had this to say: "The High Plains Express will extend from Wyoming through Colorado's eastern plains down through central-eastern New Mexico… then head west for the Arizona and possibly California markets." He points out that both Wyoming and New Mexico have "far more renewable energy potential that they can use," so this new energy transportation corridor could serve a dual purpose.
Of course, it makes sense that if the High Plains Express corridor becomes a reality, federal planners would drop the idea of a big energy corridor through Western Colorado, including San Miguel County.
I'll admit there's some "not in my back yard" thinking here, but it's clear that in this high stakes energy transmission game, we'll see both winners and losers. And right now, little is being said about the millions of acres of privately owned land in the West that must serve as the connecting links between the federally-designated public land that ends up as host to this vast new energy corridor. Right now, the West-Wide Corridors proposal is waiting in the wings for the Obama Administration to introduce its version to this sweeping plan – one that will alter America's western landscape forever.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Feb. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study, "Effect of probiotics on biomarkers of cardiovascular disease: implications for heart-healthy diets," published in the January issue of Nutrition Reviews, examined 26 clinical studies and two meta-analyses to assess the potential of probiotics in reducing LDL-cholesterol.
Of the probiotics examined, L.?reuteri NCIMB 30242 (Cardioviva™) was found to best meet therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) dietary requirements by:
Heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, and elevated LDL-cholesterol is a major risk factor. Most adults (91%) say they care about maintaining a healthy cholesterol level for heart health, but less than half (37%) routinely get their cholesterol tested1.
"People know probiotics for digestive health. They don't associate them with heart health," said Doug DiRienzo, PhD and lead author of the review. "It's time to recognize their potential role as a simple and natural tool in cholesterol management."
Randomized double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicenter trials have shown that Cardioviva™ healthy bacteria lowered total and LDL-cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic adults. In one of these clinical trials involving 127 adults with high cholesterol, those taking a supplement of L.?reuteri NCIMB 30242 (Cardioviva™) twice a day had LDL levels 11.6 percent lower than those taking a placebo after nine weeks2.
"It is exciting to think that certain probiotics, such as Cardioviva™, may have an impact on heart health through gut health," said Penny Kris-Etherton, PhD, RD, Distinguished Professor of Nutrition at the Pennsylvania State University and Fellow of the American Heart Association. "I would encourage consumers who are managing their heart health through diet and exercise to ask their health professionals about probiotics that have been proven effective in lowering cholesterol in clinical trials."
The full Nutrition Reviews paper can be found at: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nure.12084/full (Nutrition Reviews, Volume 72, Issue 1, pages 18–29, January 2014.).
About Cardioviva™
Cardioviva™ is the first natural probiotic that has been clinically proven to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels in adults. Cardioviva™ healthy bacteria may help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels in two ways: by maintaining the amount of cholesterol the body produces and by maintaining the amount absorbed from food. Cardioviva™ is available in Canada and the US at Walgreens, CVS, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Vitamin Store, Amazon.com and other major retailers.

College of Education
Initial Professional Certificate Requirements After September 1, 2013
Beginning September 1st, 2013, ALL teachers (no matter when they received initial teaching certification) will be required to meet the following requirements to obtain a professional teaching certificate. NO ONE will be "grandfathered" into the requirements.
Applicants may complete the National Board Professional Teaching Standards Certification ( www.nbpts.org ) or meet the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) two-part requirements, Part A and Part B listed below:
It is recommended to wait at least two years before completing credits/hours required for professional certification.
Note: State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCECH) replaces State Board Continuing Education Units (SB-CEU)
Candidates for professional certification who have not yet had a provisional renewal must meet ONE of the following requirements :
- Six semester credit hours in a planned program at an approved teacher preparation institution (EPI); OR
- Six semester credit hours of academic credit appropriate to the grade level and content endorsement(s) of the certificate at any regionally accredited college or university; OR
- 180 State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCECHs) in appropriate to grade level and content endorsement(s) of the certificate held; OR
- 150 District Provided Professional Development (DPPD) hours through professional development programs appropriate to grade level and content endorsement(s); OR
- Any combination of the required amount of semester credit, SCECH and DPPD hours that equals 180 hour (see examples below)
1 college credit is equivalent to 30 SCECH
To convert SB-CEU to SCECH:
Multiply the SB-CEU by 10 (Example: 2.4 SB-CEU x 10 = 24 SCECH clock hours)
- 1 college credit is equivalent to 30 DPPD clock hours
Old SB-CEUs can still be used for professional certification and are recorded in the Michigan Online Educator Certification System (MOECS).
All credits/hours need to be completed within FIVE years of application for Professional Certification AND after the issuance of your initial provisional certificate. Credit hours options older than FIVE years will not count toward professional certification.
In addition, the Michigan Department of Education requires:
- Three credit hours of reading diagnosis and remediation (The approved reading course can be used as three of the six credits required above);
- Three years satisfactory teaching experience since the issue date, and within the validity and grade level, of the Provisional Certificate
Once both Part A and B requirements are met, a professional certificate may be granted.
Educators who have already received a provisional renewal must complete additional credits/hours for professional certification or an additional renewal.
Provisional Renewals
Teachers may apply for a provisional renewal if they have not met all requirements for the Professional Certificate within the five year validity of their INITIAL provisional certificate. See Facts About Obtaining Professional Certification for more information.

City Payroll Professionals work to ensure City employees receive paychecks.
City of Albuquerque Payroll
View more information about City of Albuquerque payroll office.
This Labor Day week, Sept. 2-6, 2013, America's workers will celebrate payday and the payroll professionals who pay them.
National Payroll Week recognizes the contributions of America's 156 million workers and the payroll professionals who ensure they're paid accurately and on-time, every time.
Together, through the payroll withholding system, they contribute, collect, report, and deposit about $1.78 trillion, or 70.5 percent, of the annual revenue of the U.S. Treasury.
City of Albuquerque Impact
The City of Albuquerque Central Payroll Department boasts three Certified Payroll Professionals.
"Payroll professionals are responsible for one of the most important things to all of America's workers-their paychecks-as well as collecting 70.5 percent of the US Treasury's revenue annually," said Dan Maddux, executive director of the American Payroll Association. "During NPW, we thank payroll professionals for their hard work to ensure the accuracy and timeliness that we and our nation depend on."
For National Payroll Week, the APA and its more than 20,000 members educate the public about their paychecks and payroll-related benefits to help employees stretch their paychecks.
The week also sees volunteers head into communities around the country to teach paycheck basics to teens.

Too Gourd to Be True: 7 Perfect Fall Desserts Made with Winter Squash
Many of my pumpkin dessert recipes have a little secret -- most of them are made with squash! In fact, even your canned pumpkin may be harboring squash in the mix. Why the squash switcheroo? Well, for one thing, sugar pie pumpkins can be hard to track down. They show up at farmer's and specialty markets this time of year, but are hardly widely available. Winter squash, on the other hand, are easy to find, small and easy to work with, and impart great flavor to all kinds of fall desserts. Flavor-wise, I find kabocha squash to be closest to pumpkin, but I also enjoy the lighter flavor of butternut or the meatiness of a hubbard.
