Ppl Are Crazy Nowadays: Female Prison Guard Stabs Her Husband To Death Over Some Damn Chilli Beans In Front Of Kids! (They Met In Jail)
Description: "A former Virginia Corrections officer is facing murder charges for allegedly killing her husband. And investigators say the fight was all over beans. The crime happened on Wednesday, inside the couple's home in Brodnax, a small town in Brunswick County, VA. Brunswick Sheriff Brian Roberts says 34-year-old Tiffany Harrison stabbed her husband, 28-year-old William Harrison, after a fight over the beans he brought home from the store. "She said they had been arguing all day and things had gotten greatly aggressive in their argument, while preparing chili and arguing over beans,"said Roberts. Sheriff Roberts says investigators became suspicious of Harrison after she drove her husband to the hospital, dropped him off, then returned home. "She went back to the scene and cleaned up and then came back to the hospital and that's when we got her and detained her," says Roberts. William Harrison died shortly after being dropped off at the hospital." - VA

Hi longbow
I quess the first Question is have you ever booked flights for yourself going anywhere before if so that makes it easier you have a basic understanding of how it works. I have always booked my own flights here in the states on my first trip to Africa I used a booking agent and the ticket cost me over 2200 each I booked the next 2 thru Cheapoair and the ticket costed less then 1600 each the trick is when you leave and when you return as well as time of year of course. Try booking your flight leaving in the middle of the week and returning in the middle of the week avoid Fri-Mon if possible those are the higher rate days I always save a few hundred bucks that way. BobEnjoy life now -- it has an expiration date.

Recent Stories
A Reston Retrospective
Stories and thoughts by Reston residents as the community turns 50.
Usually, when you ask a number of people to share their thoughts and opinions on any subject, you get as many different answers as the numbers polled. In asking a rather random selection of residents for their thoughts as Reston celebrates its 50th anniversary, coincidentally with the 100th birthday of founder Robert E. Simon, you do get some interestingly different perspectives, but you get an uncanny commonality in their musings, as well. Regardless of where in Reston our commentators reside, the descriptors of "community," "beauty," "amenities," "something for everyone," "a town for all ages," and "protect our core values" were mentioned by all – and more than once during each Reston retrospective conversation.
Oak Hill Elementary Gets Energized By Einstein
Mark Spiegel presents Einstein Alive!
How do you get a cafeteria full of kids wildly engrossed in and energized about some pretty complex scientific subject matters? You call in Albert Einstein to explain and demonstrate - that's how. OK. Not the Albert Einstein, of course. But Marc Spiegel's performance of Einstein Alive! did the trick.
Great Falls Citizens Association Talks Ticks and Trails
Town Hall Meeting addresses 'Deer Management' and the future of 'Trails, Paths and Sidewalks' in the village.
Braving frigid gusts of wind that left some of them without power at home, residents came out in force for the Great Falls Citizens Association (GFCA) Town Hall Meeting on the night of Wednesday, March 12. The agenda consisted of only two topics – "Deer Management" and the future of "Trails, Paths and Sidewalks" in the village, but there was enough material and discussion to fill the three hours allotted.

Vienna Honors 'Mayor Jane'
Hundreds bid farewell to Vienna Mayor M. Jane Seeman.
"A life defined by faith, family and friends," was how Senior Pastor the Rev. Dr. Peter James of the Vienna Presbyterian Church (VPC) described long-time Vienna Mayor M. Jane Seeman at the services to honor her life and memorialize her passing. With an estimated 600 in attendance, by thirty minutes prior to the start of the 2 p.m. service on Friday afternoon, Feb. 28, the lower level of the VPC Chapel at 124 Park St. NE in Vienna was already full and those still arriving began filling in the upper galleries. The state flag was ordered at half-mast in the state capital on Friday, as well as at public buildings in Vienna, Fairfax City and around the county. Vienna Town offices closed at 1 p.m. to allow staff to attend and offer their personal farewells to the much-loved mayor.
Crowds Enjoy Reston Ice Rink
The Ice Skating Pavilion in Reston Town Center is a hot destination.
The temperature was holding pretty steady in the lower 30s, there was ice off the rink as well as on it, and the occasional snow flurry drifted about Reston Town Center on Saturday, but none of those potential obstacles kept the Ice Skating Pavilion from being plenty packed. Although there were a few skaters with obvious skills making the rounds, it seemed that the majority were more suited to the novice category, judging by the numbers of flailing arms, "derriere skaters" and the amount of time the staff spent helping would-be Apolo Ohnos and Ashley Wagners regain their skates and their balance. It was also pretty obvious that no matter what level of expertise each skater brought to the arena, everybody was having fun.
Painters Unite to Make Friday the 13th Someone's Lucky Day

Organizations and individuals step to transform 'The Holiday Season' into 'The Season of Giving.'

The Big Ten part is actually incorrect. The conference is the minority partner not Fox
There's an assumption, an expectation, that many folks seem to be jumping to with regards to the soon-to-be-announced SEC Network. That belief is that the Southeastern Conference and ESPN will split ownership of the new channel. And, yes, we've made that very same assumption.
As we've covered on this site before, there are at least three different ownership models open to the SEC when it comes to its new network.
1. The SEC could follow the path taken by the Big Ten. Jim Delany's league owned 51% of its network with the other 49% owned by FOX Entertainment Group, when the network was launched. (That ownership split flipped in favor of FOX — 51% to the Big Ten's 49% — some time since 2010.) By far the most successful of all the conference- or school-specific sports networks, many have jumped to the conclusion that the Southeastern Conference will just copy this set-up. Again, we were one of those jumpers earlier this week.
2. The SEC could opt to do what the Pac-12 has done and launch a network all on its own. The SEC could own it while paying ESPN to run it. The Pac-12 has a deal in place with Comcast Media Center to help with the production of its national channel and its six regional networks.
3. Finally, the SEC could follow in the University of Texas' footsteps and simply take home a fat check from ESPN every year. The network would own the channel in that scenario, not the conference. In Texas' case, the school is set to receive $300 million from ESPN over a 20-year period.
You can likely scratch Option #2 from the list as the SEC certainly won't want to incur all the start-up costs involved in a network launch. Long-term, ownership might be a gold mine, but out of the gates it could be a nightmare scenario.
Option #1 — the one most have simply taken for granted will the path most likely to be taken — has its drawbacks, too. As a co-owner of the network, the SEC's cash intake would be tied to what the channel is bringing in… and up front, that might not be a whole lot. Carriage battles with cable and satellite providers could be quite messy. They have been for everyone else who's launched a network (the Big Ten, the Pac-12, Texas, the NFL, etc). Those fights delay a network's growth and earnings.
Which brings us to Option #3, the Longhorn Network model. It's a plan that's obviously already being used by ESPN, the company that the SEC will work with on its network. It's a plan that would guarantee the SEC is making X amount of dollars right from the outset, regardless of whatever struggles ESPN might have in carriage negotiations.
Yesterday a friendly tipster pointed out an additional tidbit to us — the Southeastern Conference owns nothing. Here's a breakdown of SEC revenues and expenses as of 2011. Page down and you'll find a spreadsheet showing exactly what the league owned through 2007. If you look under land, building, equipment, other assets… you'll find zeroes.
Since 1948 the SEC has had its offices in Birmingham. The city has provided office space to the league in exchange for a $1 per year lease. When the league moved the SEC Championship Game from Birmingham to Atlanta in 1994 there was some talk of the lease going up, but the city backed down when the SEC let it be known it was willing to pull up stakes and move. There has been talk of moving the league's headquarters from time to time since, but the SEC is still currently residing in 30,000-feet worth of leased property.
Add it all up and it seems likely that the SEC will simply allow ESPN to own the network in exchange for a hefty annual check. Such a set-up would appear to be much more of a win-win for the conference. The SEC would be guaranteed money up front, regardless of the struggles ESPN might face in launching the channel, getting it carried, and selling advertising for it. On the back end, built-in escalators in the contract could guarantee that Mike Slive's league will get even richer if the network outperforms its cash projections.
A look at Texas' Longhorn Network contract with ESPN shows that once the network recoups its initial investments — $295 million for LHN — the university will receive 70% of all the channel's profits. And from the outset, Texas was set to receive a check each year worth $10,980,000 from ESPN regardless of the network's success.
Another interesting clause in that pact gives Texas the right to force ESPN to fire members of the network's on-air talent team. According to the contract:
"In the event that UT reasonably determines that any on-air talent does not reflect the quality and reputation desired by UT for the Network based on inappropriate statements made or actions taken by such talent and so notifies ESPN, ESPN will cause such talent to be promptly replaced (and will in any event no longer allow them on air following such notice)."
Now that's power. And money. With zero responsibility.
If the SEC does follow the Longhorn Network plan and eschews ownership in the SEC Network, the league can be as involved or uninvolved as it likes. It won't have to worry (as much) about protracted carriage battles with cable and satellite providers. It will be protected against a downturn in the economy or unexpected hiccups in network sales. And — as we told you yesterday — the league is already planning to allow ESPN to bundle its rights packages and sell advertising across multiple platforms, which should also result in more cash for less work.
Slive and company won't have to do any more legwork than they please. ESPN will have to do the heavy lifting. And even if the revenue doesn't flow as quickly and easily as projected, ESPN will still have to pay the SEC.
A scene from the movie "Goodfellas," comes to mind, but as this is a family site, we better just link you to it rather than quote from it. (NSFW, folks.)
So how sure have we become that the SEC's deal with ESPN will look more like Option #3 than the 51/49 plan of Option #1? Well, let's keep with the theme and say we're 51/49 on this one.
In other words, signs seem to point to Option #3, but we're still looking forward to hearing the actual details of the SEC/ESPN agreement from Slive's own mouth.

Expensive extermination costs drive some homeowners to try at home treatments reports Bed Bug Killer.
San Antonio, TX, United States of America – December 20, 2013 /MarketersMedia/ —
According to pest control industry statistics, bed bug infestations have increased across the United States by over 500% in the past five years. Furthermore, in the last five years, over 90% of pest control firms have reported dealing with bed bugs, as opposed to only 37% a few years prior. With this type of pest control epidemic facing the nation, Joe Stevenson, has announced the creation of his Bed Bug Killer website, put in place to educate the public on the growing problem of bed bugs.
Says Stevenson, "With the problem reaching epidemic proportions, there is a lot of misinformation on the Internet. We wanted the public to have a one-stop place to go for information and local exterminators to get rid of the bed bugs, especially if you tried to get rid of bed bugs naturally and it didn 't work. These bedbugs are a serious problem, with bed bug bites confusing many people who notice the bites, but have no idea where they came from. Our site exposes all the information Americans need to know."
Stevenson goes on to say there are many misconceptions about the little hitchhiker bugs circulating. "Many people think bed bugs are a poor, inner-city problem or it 's a reflection on how clean you keep your home, but that couldn 't be farther from the truth. Bed bugs simply show up here and there with no regard for class, cleanliness or other factors you might associate with bugs. Travelers are at great risk as they spend time in random motel/hotel rooms and you never know who was there before you, what the laundry situation is like or whether a housekeeper was lazy and didn't change sheets. Many factors contribute to getting them but it's primarily a direct contact issue. You get exposed to them by infected furniture or clothes."
Naturally, says Stevenson, the question on most infected consumers minds is how to get rid of bed bugs. Stevenson is blunt, saying, "The most common methods are heat, chemical or organic spray combinations and specialized treatments from an exterminator in your local area. It may take multiple treatments to clear out a large infestation and prevent them from coming back. On average, it can cost between $1,000 and $4,000 to have an infestation cleared out by an exterminator, but many homeowners prefer to try and get rid of them on their own. "Luckily, though, you needn't pay a fortune to eradicate these bugs from your home, however, thanks to new evidence which shows that bed bugs are repelled by certain substances." Stevenson goes on to say his website educates the public on cheap ways to get rid of bed bugs.
About Bed Bug Killer:
The Bed Bug Killer website was created to educate the public on the growing menace of bedbugs. Visitors will find information and research on prevention, history, exterminators located near them and a wealth of links leading to respected authorities around the world. The goal of the site is to help visitors prevent the spread of bedbugs and eliminate them if they do get them, quickly.

Bradley Williams '10 (Marriottsville, Md.) believes the semester he spent studying in Argentina was one of the most exciting times of his life.
"I didn't know anyone upon arriving, and I quickly found that I had much to learn with respect to the language," says Williams. "However, I left with some unforgettable memories, made many lasting friendships, and learned a lot more about my own personal interests. Most importantly, I feel like I returned home with more of a 'carpe diem' attitude than I previously had."
Williams will be going back to Argentina in the fall to teach English to future English as a Second Language teachers and provide graphic design and business support for a local nonprofit organization.
He, Jenny Boyar '08, and Amanda Pisetzner '10 have received English Teaching Assistantship Fulbright Grants. Boyar, who graduated with an A.B. in English and psychology, will teach conversational English to secondary school students in Taiwan. Pisetzner, who graduated with an A.B. with majors in English and equality and social justice, had to decline a grant to teach in Turkey. They are the 27th Lafayette students to receive Fulbrights in the past 11 years.
As a research assistant in the College of Pharmacy International Program at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, Boyar has been performing research on insomnia prescription patterns and the challenges facing international students in U.S. higher education.
"I know that my job options after college resulted from the research experience I was fortunate enough to receive at Lafayette," she says. "I've been profoundly influenced by so many faculty and staff at Lafayette, who continue to offer tremendous support. I was encouraged to explore and expand my interests, and I carried this over into my life post-graduation."
At Lafayette, Boyar was an editorial assistant for Alix Ohlin, assistant professor of English; performed research on body image with Jamila Bookwala, associate professor of psychology; and worked on epilepsy research with Paul Cefalu, associate professor of English. She presented research at the 20th and 21st National Conferences on Undergraduate Research and collaborated with the National Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey on planning efforts for a new museum on the history of the illness.
Williams, who has a self-designed major in multimedia design and marketing and a minor in Spanish, plans to pursue a graduate degree and a career in marketing or graphic design.
"I feel that the Fulbright will help me to develop my skills in real-world situations, while also giving me the opportunity to learn different perspectives on life. I also hope to become fluent in Spanish by the time I return from my Fulbright experience," he says.
Williams was part of last semester's Technology Clinic, which focused on management of surface water runoff in Easton's West Ward neighborhood, and he is working on an independent study on graphic design with Lew Minter, director of the art department's media lab. He also is a member of the College's Division I track and field team, the Lafayette Leadership Education committee, and Delta Upsilon Fraternity.
See a list of recent Lafayette recipients of national and international scholarships and fellowships for undergraduate and post-graduate study. For information on applying for scholarships and fellowships, contact Julia A. Goldberg, associate dean of the College, (610) 330-5521.

Your board of directors tells you that even though your association is attracting new members, the veteran members are no longer attending meetings. Their participation is critical--after all, they are the most expert and influential people in your industry. How will you entice them back to your conferences?
That's the challenge attendees were given during a seminar on adult education at the annual meeting of the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) held this July in Chicago. Attendees were divided into groups and told to come up with ideas.
The room surged with energy. Voices spilled over each other. Participants introduced themselves and eagerly shared the strategies they had already used in their organizations and tossed new ideas back and forth. After about ten minutes, the whole group reconvened and discussed solutions.
What had just happened, explained facilitator Clifford Baden, director, programs in professional education, Harvard Graduate School of Education, was an example of how adult-learning principles can be used to create an interactive and productive session. Attendees were given the chance to be active participants in their education--to share their expertise, learn from experiences of their peers, and build on that reservoir of knowledge to create practical solutions they could apply immediately to problems they face. Those are the key tenets of adult learning.
Adult-learning theories have been around for decades. Yet associations continue to offer traditional seminars, with presenters locked behind lecterns, and panels that are really no more than a series of mini-lectures. But those standby formats are no longer satisfying audiences--if they ever did.
To help meeting planners and education committees develop more creative approaches to designing programs, the Greater Washington Society of Association Executives Foundation contracted Baden to do a study of programs that have successfully employed adult-learning principles. The results have just been published by ASAE in a book, Adult Learning in Associations: Models for Good Practice (see sidebar, page 47). The goal of his book, Baden says, is to encourage planners to think of themselves as people who can make a difference by providing members with highly effective educational experiences.
"There is some irony in the fact that much of the most powerful learning occurs outside the formal program," Baden writes. He then challenges planners: "Why not plan to have equally powerful learning occur in the sessions themselves?"
Creating Real Discussion One of the surprises Baden encountered doing his study was that he found fewer interesting uses of technology for seminars than he expected. Using a techie tool such as PowerPoint does not alter the lecture format if the learner is still passive, he says. "[Technology tools] never help interaction," emphasizes Baden. "They may help learning for those who like to see something presented visually, but they tend to be an impediment to good dialogue."
For example, when preparing a slide or PowerPoint presentation, Baden points out, all your decisions have to be made before you meet the audience. Unless the speaker is expert enough at the technology to know how to use it flexibly, "what happens is the very antithesis of good adult learning," Baden says. "If someone throws you a question, you can't say, that's really interesting, let's pursue it. You have to go on to the next slide."
One format that works well for integrating adult-learning principles is the case study, where attendees are given an example of a problem drawn from real life. That's what Baden did at the ASAE seminar. "The problem does not have a single right answer," Baden adds. "It is complex and ambiguous." Because there is no right answer, attendees share their own opinions, listen to different points of view, and develop a wider perspective.
Stretching people's perspectives is the goal that Barbara Choyke, director of continuing education, Society of Actuaries, Schaumburg, IL, has in mind when she uses a version of the case study format. A company is in the midst of a takeover, the actuary attendees are told, and they are assigned new identities, such as human resources manager or CEO. They then go through the acquisition process from that person's point of view.
"When asked to value the company, actuaries look at the books, the assets and liabilities, and boom, here's the answer," says Choyke. "But they need to talk to human resources and find out what it means to company morale. Will it devalue the worth of the company if employees are not producing for fear of the takeover? The case study is actuarial at the core, but it brings in other aspects that would touch the actuary's life but that he or she might not think of."
Another variation on the case study method is to elicit participants' own experiences--what Baden calls self-generated case studies. When conducting seminars, Carole Copeland Thomas, MBA, a Woburn, MAbased diversity speaker and consultant, hands out index cards and asks attendees to write down--anonymously--difficult situations they have encountered involving a diversity issue. She then sets up small group discussions and role-playing based on those examples. "Stories that can be generated in-house are more valuable," she says. "People say, 'Wow, I never realized my story was so much like other people's.'"
Drawing stories from the participants also helps mitigate the "been there, done that" response of jaded attendees who have been through many programs. Their attitude, says Thomas, is, "Yeah, [a diversity program] is nice, but I want something that pertains to my growth." Another benefit, Thomas notes, is that attendees find it easiest to develop an action plan when the problems are their own.
Another way to generate genuine discussion is to take the traditional panel presentation and turn it into a talk show format, suggests Choyke. Panelists talk for about five minutes each, and then the moderator, with a wireless mike, goes through the audience eliciting comments and questions. "If it's a good, controversial topic, people will grab the mike and start talking," Choyke says.
One program moderator who always mixes with the audience is Joan L. Eisenstodt, president, Eisenstodt Associates in Washington, DC. "You have got to be out there," she insists. "To make people stand up in the aisle and talk into a standing microphone is about as criminal an act as you can have at a meeting. Most people don't want to speak in public and you're asking them to stand and everyone looks at them, and then they have to wait [their turns] and their anxiety level increases. I hate having to do that."
No More Preaching It takes a different kind of work on the part of the facilitator to conduct an interactive session rather than lecture, Baden points out. "They are required to not simply get up and make a presentation that they prepared a few weeks before, independent of who would be sitting in the room, but are required to have the ability to listen to people in the room talk about why they are there."
It can be scary for a speaker to put aside those prepared remarks and slide shows, and respond spontaneously to the audience's needs. Trying out nontraditional formats "forced us to be more attentive to our speakers," Choyke says. "We were expecting them to do more. We told them they were not there to preach. We spent a lot more time getting them prepared."
When she first started implementing the new programs, Choyke's committee hand-picked speakers. "We knew which personalities could pull it off, so we went after them, and said, 'Our goal is to make these sessions more interactive, can you help us?'" Now, Choyke says, speakers volunteer, and come up with their own ideas. One 'talk show' moderator, "runs down the aisles, jamming the mike into peoples faces, and says, 'Can the cameras keep up with me?' Of course there are no cameras," Choyke says. "It lends to the atmosphere; it's funny. His sessions never end on time, people are so engrossed."
In interactive seminars, speakers have to be able to handle the emotional reactions of attendees. Learning is an intensely personal and emotional process, Baden reminds planners in his book. But, "rather than embracing these emotions, associations often treat education like a sponge," he writes. "They wring out as much of the emotion as possible, leaving behind only the soaked-up knowledge."
When facilitators generate real interaction with the audience, especially with a charged topic such as diversity, things can get heated. "Adults are only grown-up children," Thomas says. "They come in with their own level of baggage and they act out." Rather than squelching or ignoring their reactions, Thomas encourages participants to voice their opinions. "If they can express [their feelings], we can begin to change behavior. I'd rather have people express themselves than be indifferent," she says. "That way, I know where they are coming from."
Not everyone is adept at adopting a more freewheeling presentation style. When speakers think they will have a difficult time with an interactive format, Choyke suggests that they participate instead in one of the society's more traditional programs. "We tell them up front," she says, "This is what we expect of you, and if you can't do it, let us know."
Convincing the Program Committee Like many associations, the Society of Actuaries had stuck to the same program format for years: panel discussions with follow-up workshops. "Basically, talking heads," says Choyke. With her background in adult education, she grew increasingly dissatisfied with the traditional programming. About five years ago, she set out to convince her program committee to consider alternatives. It was not an easy task.
Most associations repeat the same formats "out of inertia," says Baden. People serve on the program committee for a year, and often no one has long-term responsibility for education. With that revolving door, "it's easier for people to replicate what everyone knows and what everyone has seen," he says. Another problem is education committees tend to make decisions under pressure of deadlines--not the best environment for taking on change. Program committees need to meet before they have to make decisions, just to take time to think creatively, Baden says.
That is exactly the tack Choyke took. To convince her committee to adopt adult-learning principles, she put them through a series of games and teambuilding exercises so they could experience how interactive formats worked. When the committee was planning a conference in Hawaii, she divided them into teams. They played a kind of "Wheel of Fortune" game to learn key words and terms, such as learning objectives and recruiting deadlines. Each time a team guessed a reward they were given macadamia nuts (to fit into the Hawaii theme, of course) and the team with the most nuts at the end was declared winner.
"They learned to work as teams," says Choyke, "and learned all the buzz words they needed to know to plan a successful program." At first the staff people went through the sessions "with one eye open, asking, 'Why are we playing these silly games?'" Choyke recalls. But by the end they understood: "It was, 'Now I get it. Adults learn by participation.'"
Breaking Barriers The way the planner sets up a meeting room sends a message about what he or she considers to be important, says Baden. "If everybody is facing front, it says that all information is going to flow in one direction. If people are facing each other, you are saying, 'We have information to share.'"
Instead of setting up chairs classroom style, arrange for a U-shaped format if the group is small enough, or a semicircle, or seat people at round tables. When deciding on the room arrangement, Baden advises planners in his book, ask yourself: How easy is it for [attendees] to see and to hear each other, the presenter, and any displays? How easy is it for people to move around, to stretch, to get refreshments?
For the talk show format, "If speakers are so far removed from the audience, on a stage, far away behind a table, you're putting layers of barriers between the speaker and audience," says Eisenstodt. Instead she recommends seating the panelists and moderator in comfortable chairs around a coffee table. At a session she moderated recently, panelists sat on the edge of the stage. "It was very interactive," she says. "They had a real sense of being part of the audience."
And don't lower the lights, Eisenstodt adds. "Having the lights down is another criminal act." For the audience to be involved and interactive, "people need to see each other and react to facial expressions."
Even something as seemingly mundane as a different room arrangement can throw a speaker off guard. When panelists first walked in to the meeting rooms arranged to look just like an "Oprah" set, "they were stunned," Choyke recalls. "Women would wear straight skirts and expect to be hidden behind a skirted table," she says, "only to find out it ain't so." Now, Choyke includes a diagram of the room setup in speakers' packets, and suggests what clothing they might be most comfortable wearing.
Speakers aren't the only ones discombobulated by new room setups and program formats. "Our attendees were stunned," Choyke recalls. "They were so used to being in the same setting. They asked, 'Where am I supposed to sit?'" For the first year or so, staff explained to attendees why the sessions looked different and what the purpose of the each program was. "We said, 'As adult learners you are expected to fully participate,'" Choyke says. She even assigned certain attendees the task of initiating discussions. But now, that is no longer necessary.
Choose the Right Format There are many different formats for creating interactive programs. Will each type work for every attendee? Of course not. Each adult has a preferred style of learning, Baden says. Some prefer active, hands-on sessions, others prefer listening. But if all your programming has attendees sitting in rows of chairs facing front, listening to someone, you're satisfying only one type of learner, Baden says, asking, "What are you doing for the others?"
Even those people who learn better through listening will benefit from programs that use adult-learning principles, says Baden. "If you construct that listening so that they have to think, not just listen, you will engage their attention better. Give them a problem to think about, as opposed to just listening to the speaker talk." No matter what the topic, you can involve the participants, agrees Reneta E. Webb, PhD, CAE, and president of Partners in Learning, an educational consulting firm for associations in Chicago. "Even if you're doing a philosophical thing, like ethics in meetings contracts, there are ways of letting people participate," she says. "Have them formulate a contract."
When planning a meeting, think about incorporating various teaching formats, says Webb. "There's gotta be some lecture, some group work, some individual think-about-it time." Make sure the format you choose matches the subject matter, adds Choyke, who says she's had some real 'bombs.' In teaching modeling, for example, the instructor needs to stand at a blackboard, and explain the mathematical formulas and how to do them on a computer, Choyke says. For that type of session, an open forum just won't work.
One organization, faced with the problem Baden presented at his ASAE seminar--the problem of losing veteran members--developed a special, invitation-only seminar just for those experienced people. Attendees suggested the topics themselves. During the session, facilitators encouraged candid, off-the-record analyses of the issues the senior leaders faced, Baden says. One delegate, quoted in Baden's book, said, "Participants are not being propped up on stage to give public relations pitches. [The program] gives us a chance to learn from each other's successes andmistakes and to benchmarkbest practices."
When you use innovative approaches to education, "the satisfaction level does go up," says Webb, "because people have learned something. They feel better about something, which is also a big part of it. As a result, the next time you send out your brochures, they say, 'I really liked that. I want to go back.' Your credibility level rises."
We've all heard speakers lecture about creativity, but to really foster creativity among your members, you need to give them opportunities to be creative, says Clifford Baden, director, programs in professional education, Harvard Graduate School of Education. How? Well, you could send attendees to an artist's studio for a day to make ceramics. Or to a theater workshop where they create a dramatic piece. Or to an African art museum to learn to play African musical instruments. Afterward, participants would come back together and discuss what they learned about their own creative potential and how, back in the workplace, they can establish an environment for their employees that encourages creative thinking.
That's just one of the program ideas outlined in Baden's new book, Adult Learning in Associations: Models for Good Practice. Highlighting 24 model programs implemented by associations, universities, corporations, community-based organizations, and consultants, Baden encourages planners to tap into their own creativity to develop more innovative educational programs for members.
Eschewing academese, Baden writes in an accessible style, providing planners with an overview of each program, and explaining when you might consider adopting a similar approach. For example, Baden suggests using video vignettes in a seminar when you want to strengthen participants' decision-making skills. Each section also features a sidebar of tips for success, advising how long the sessions should be, how the space should be arranged, and what experience is required of the facilitator.

I know there is a couple of techniques with these. But what is the best one for bass fishing on lakes??
Here is the lure i am talking about…
And what is the best technique for using a banjo minnow?????
Thanks for the answers
best one gets
Chosen Answer:
Same way with a spincast, or baitcasting reel. Simple cast & retrieve motion (With occasional pauses for giving that injured minnow look.). But, anybody will tell you spinnerbaits are the easiest baits to use. If you can turn a reel handle, you can fish a bass spinnerbait.
Banjo Minnow i don't know about. Watch the DVD or look it up on Google (OR don't use it, it's too complicated for me LOL!)
Happy fishing.

Washington, County, Kansas, is an agricultural area thirty miles square with twelve incorporated communities. Crops grown in the county include mainly wheat, milo or grain sorghum, corn, soybeans, alfalfa, prairie hay and some sunflowers. The county ranks high in the state in pork production. Many cow-calf herds roam the beautiful prairie grasslands.
The county is very diversified in industry ranging from metal fabrication companies, construction, silk screening, woodworking, pet wholesaling, pallet building, and machining companies.
The geography of the county finds us located in three geologic regions: the Smoky Hills, Flint Hills, and Glaciated Regions. This gives us a diverse geography of fertile river and creek valleys, to flatland regions, to rolling hills, varying across the county.
Settlers began to come into this area after the Kansas Territory was opened in 1854. However, most of the thousands of goldseekers traveled across Washington County in 1849 along the Oregon Trail on their way to California. Not until 1857 did the first settlers come in numbers to carve out farms in the rich creek and river valleys. Little did the gold seekers realize that the lush prairie grass covered a wealth far more precious and lasting that the glitter of metal.
Swedes, Germans, Dutch, Danes, Bohemians, French, Scots, English, and Irish settled in the county until it became a miniature melting pot all in itself.
The map shown here is from History of Kansas by Noble Prentis (1899).
The sixth principal meridian was established in the northwest corner of the county on June 11, 1856, and a red sandstone marker was set at this point. From this point all land in Kansas, Nebraska, three quarters of Colorado, most of Wyoming, and a small part of South Dakota was surveyed and numbered. A marker, dedicated on June 11, 1987, or 131 years after being set by Charles Manners, today marks this location.

A Devotional Series by Charles H. Spurgeon
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
"Behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague." --Leviticus 13:13
Strange enough this regulation appears, yet there was wisdom in it, for the throwing out of the disease proved that the constitution was sound. This evening it may be well for us to see the typical teaching of so singular a rule. We, too, are lepers, and may read the law of the leper as applicable to ourselves. When a man sees himself to be altogether lost and ruined, covered all over with the defilement of sin, and in no part free from pollution; when he disclaims all righteousness of his own, and pleads guilty before the Lord, then he is clean through the blood of Jesus, and the grace of God. Hidden, unfelt, unconfessed iniquity is the true leprosy; but when sin is seen and felt, it has received its deathblow, and the Lord looks with eyes of mercy upon the soul afflicted with it. Nothing is more deadly than self-righteousness, or more hopeful than contrition. We must confess that we are "nothing else but sin", for no confession short of this will be the whole truth; and if the Holy Spirit be at work with us, convincing us of sin, there will be no difficulty about making such an acknowledgment --it will spring spontaneously from our lips. What comfort does the text afford to truly awakened sinners: the very circumstance which so grievously discouraged them is here turned into a sign and symptom of a hopeful state! Stripping comes before clothing; digging out the foundation is the first thing in building--and a thorough sense of sin is one of the earliest works of grace in the heart. O thou poor leprous sinner, utterly destitute of a sound spot, take heart from the text, and come as thou art to Jesus--
"For let our debts be what they may, however great or small,
As soon as we have nought to pay, our Lord forgives us all.
'Tis perfect poverty alone that sets the soul at large:
While we can call one mite our own, we have no full discharge."

It's not unusual for the defense to be ahead of the offense at this point, but it appears the Ravens have a chance to be special again.
In the three-day minicamp that ended Thursday, the Ravens were impressive on defense and completely dominated the offense. That's not anything new in Baltimore, but the Ravens were just average last season.
And after they lost six starters including two Hall of Fame candidates in linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed, the Ravens were expected to be in a rebuilding mode this season. But that won't be the case.

The Ravens are huge and fast, a deadly combination. If they can stay healthy, they will be tough to run against, with new defensive linemen Chris Canty and Marcus Spears teaming with starters Haloti Ngata and Arthur Jones. And they have this new giant in rookie tackle Brandon Williams.
The Ravens also have two capable pass rushers in outside linebackers Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil, and on Thursday defensive coordinator Dean Peas flip-flopped them to give the offense a different look.
Because of the new faces, it might take a couple of games for the Ravens to gel, but if they do, they will once again have one of the best defenses in the NFL.
"I'm very pleased with the effort, what we accomplished. I think we're in a good place as a football team," head coach John Harbaugh said. "We'll find out when the pads come on."
New defensive assistant coach Steve Spagnuolo likes what he sees.
"I don't make predictions like that, but I will say this, and maybe it was when the guys put the real football pants on the other day. … This is as good-looking [a] football team that I've ever seen," Spagnuolo said. "I'm talking about physically and stout. Defensively — I think Corey [Graham] might have talked about it just a little while ago — but I'm a firm believer — both sides of the football — that you win upfront. I'm not as familiar with our offensive guys right now, but defensively, wow. I had little visions of the Giants' front that I happened to be privileged to be working with. They are good all the way around."
Can Flacco do it again?
Another major piece of this team coming together will be the consistency of quarterback Joe Flacco.
He had a great postseason to lead the Ravens to the championship, and few are asking questions about Flacco anymore.
But here's the $100 million question: Can he do it again?
Flacco definitely earned the new contract, but he has been inconsistent throughout his career. Were the postseason performances just a hot streak or can Flacco stay at the top of his game?
Publicly, the Ravens will endorse Flacco, but privately they aren't sure either.
In the recent minicamps, Flacco has performed well, throwing a lot of passes into tight pockets without hesitation.
"This was his best offseason, clearly," Harbaugh said. "He has done a great job of developing young guys and he has looked good. By far, his best offseason of understanding what we're doing."
Flacco said: "It's going well. I think we got a couple of new guys out there and I think it's the best I've seen us look in terms of guys knowing where to line up, where they are going and being able to process all of that very quickly."
Castillo boosting the O-line
The Ravens had hired Juan Castillo as the run game coordinator, but he is basically handling the offensive line. If you watch practice, he was a great pick-up by Harbaugh.

Volunteers in Action!
Community Engagement Center, in partnership with Sacramento State's Center for STEM excellence and the non-profit group Women of AT&T, hosted the Expanding Your Horizons Conference (EYH) Sacramento State on Saturday, October 6, 2007.
EYH, a one-day science and math conference for 6th-8th grade girls, was made successful largely due to the expertise, energy, and excitement of our dedicated Sacramento State and Women of AT&T volunteers.
The Sacramento State community volunteered in a variety of capacities, including serving as workshop facilitators, mentors/buddies, and engaging participants in hands on learning activities. Faculty, staff, and students interested in volunteering for future Expanding Your Horizons conferences should contact the current EYH sponsor, Center for STEM Excellence at email@example.com.
