1 Kings 18:17-23 New International Version (NIV)
17 When he saw Elijah, he said to him, "Is that you, you troubler of Israel?"
18 "I have not made trouble for Israel," Elijah replied. "But you and your father's family have. You have abandoned the Lord's commands and have followed the Baals. 19 Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table."
20 So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel. 21 Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him."
But the people said nothing.
22 Then Elijah said to them, "I am the only one of the Lord's prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets. 23 Get two bulls for us. Let Baal's prophets choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it.

These are dark days for people concerned about the influence of money in politics.
Thanks to a string of court decisions, more money is spent to affect elections with less disclosure about the donors since the Watergate scandal led to a series of sweeping reforms in the 1970s. Shadowy groups accountable to no one flood the airwaves with scurrilous attack ads that cheapen and distort our politics.
And just when we needed leadership, President Barack Obama put aside his campaign finance reform rhetoric and took a beat-'em-at-their-own-game approach, breaking fundraising records and setting new precedents for tactics that will be considered the norm in the future.
This is not just a national problem.
One state senate race attracted $450,000 in outside spending last year, almost all from groups independent of the campaigns.
This kind of spending has been shown to work, so expect to see more of it in the future.
With so much wrong, it's worth taking a moment to reflect on something that works.
The Maine Clean Election system, which provides public financing for qualified candidates, lets people run for office and win elections by talking with voters, not special interest donors.
For more than a decade, candidates from both major parties, as well as those with no party affiliation, have used the system to run for office and win elections to the Legislature.
The system has not been immune from attacks.
The Supreme Court struck down matching funds — the automatic allocation of public money that prevented a "clean" candidate from being outspent by a traditionally financed opponent — saying that outspending was a First Amendment right.
Last year's Legislature responded by giving publicly financed candidates no recourse from being outspent, making a clean candidacy a calculated risk.
The governor's budget would strip money out of the fund, making it even less of a desirable option.
At a time when big money is distorting the process and our leaders in Washington are not fighting the assault, the Clean Election law, a common-sense, nonpartisan reform that was enacted by the people of Maine, should not be weakened any more.
The Legislature should maintain support for the program and restore a mechanism for publicly financed candidates to compete with well-heeled opponents.
A bill that would create a way for candidates to qualify for more funding by collecting additional $5 contributions from district voters is a good way to fix the problem.
Most important, however, would be for lawmakers to recognize that the Clean Election law is a still-working part of a system that's breaking down. Our national elections would better if they were more like Maine's. Now is no time to bring Maine's elections to a lower standard.
Lawmakers should look for ways to make the Clean Election system better, not ways to tear it down.

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for December 2008.
For those of you who have seen my Twitter account, you've probably glimpsed the occasional tweet about my "borrowed" SmartBoard. We were lucky enough to use it in our classrooms for about a month, and despite the steep learning curve and lack of formal training, use it we did! At first it was an "endless whiteboard," a space to store a few lessons, a picture or two, and our thoughts and ponderings. Eventually, though, we really began to use it to make the teaching and learning by both teacher and students more dynamic, interactive, and, dare I say, fun.
We even did a quick video on the first day the students learned about rotational symmetry. While it's not perfect, neither the video, nor their understanding, it was a huge step forward in terms of the possibilities. With this in mind, we'd like to share this video with you.
Alas, budget constraints brought this experience to an abrupt end. We'll go back in January to our chart papers and static whiteboard, but the heart of it, the interactivity, was not lost on me. And perhaps that was my most important reminder of all.
We've had a class blog now for a couple of months, but I've noticed something recently. I was still the "sage on the stage." I posted, the students responded. I responded to their response. No one responded to me.
Obviously, something was not working. I could do the same thing with student journals. Yes, the blog made their writing more visible, more public, yet it wasn't anything that they truly cared about. In order to do this, I needed to turn the blog over to them. Once I had this revelation, I needed to find models of student blogs that worked. Blogs that mirrored the students' passions. While trolling through twitter, I found one such blog in the Digiteen Dream Team.
To make a long story short, the Dream Team found an incredible learning tool in Lively, Google's online virtual world. They have created their avatars, performed plays, and even "built" a virtual school. Unfortunately, this tool is being shut down on December 31, 2008. Needless to say, the students are upset. And they're not taking it lying down.
The Dream Team is blogging, using wikispaces, and continuing to use Lively to organize protests. The most incredible thing is, unlike the vast majority of people (adults included), they are doing this in a way that is respectful of others, including the corporation involved…Google. Their most recent post shows thoughtful, carefully crafted ideas that demonstrate their thorough grasp of the big picture:
• For-profit companies need to make money from their products.
• Google is a for-profit company, Lively is their product, therefore Lively needs to make money.
• Solution – Let's bring money-making ideas to Google.
The most recent post on the Digiteen's blog is a solution; suggestions on 10 ways that Lively can make money for Google. Their suggestions run the gamut from t-shirts and avatar clothing to charging for company rooms to asking for donations. However, their "pay for eyeballs" idea is the most innovative I have heard of in a long time. Internet marketers, look out, because these students are your future competitors!
Pay for "eyeballs" – Let users "pick" their advertising "bling" of the day — what they support and like — then, the advertisers pay google for each avatar that picks their bling and pays by how many other avatars "see" the advertising "bling" — literally paying for "eyeballs" — something that cannot be done in the real world.
Is this a David and Goliath story? Probably…hopefully…But no matter what the outcome of this particular fight, these ninth graders from Georgia are mobilizing people à la Clay Shirky's Here Comes Everybody.
Now that's real learning…and real power.
I promised myself this school year that I would move forward full speed ahead into the 21st century, use technology to provide students with a wider audience than their teacher and parents, and find ways to present content that was both meaningful and relevant. I have not gone back on this promise, but neither do I feel like I've moved as much as possible. Will Richardson might call this a "Yeah, but…" post, and it's a reality that many teachers, with very good intentions, find themselves mired in.
Just some examples…
• iBook mobile lab: keys missing, dead batteries that no longer hold charge, newest iBook is 5 years old, oldest is 7
• 6 mac minis to be shared among 40 students in an open classroom, only 5 actually working (did I mention that they have different versions of various software and just recently had the same OS installed?)
• 1 video camera (yay! this one works! but keep in mind that the equipment is shared among the grade level — 4 classes, 80 students)
• 2 still shot cameras (again shared among the grade level)
• A school lab with 10 eMacs and 10 mini-macs which have been pulled from various classrooms who are awaiting updates
All this in a school whose mission is to "prepare children for the 21st century."
I'm not bashing my school. Really. I'm not. (totally sans sarcasm here) There are many reasons why technology is not at the top of a school's priorities. The pie is limited, and everyone wants their fair share. Truly, at this point in my life, there is no where else I'd rather work. Part of the reason I love this school is that teachers are encouraged to dream big, to be innovative, to teach in ways that honor each child. And yet, when it takes the students 15 minutes to log into their wikispace because supposedly its been un-blocked (interject sarcasm here), but they get stuck in a vicious loop of logins and DOE error messages, I just want to scream. Then they finally get to start a post, only to have to logout because our lab time is up. In the meantime, the other half of the students haven't even touched the keyboard…again…
So I know all the pat answers.
"Put the computers in a learning center rotation."
"Make a schedule."
"Connect the computer to a projector."
"Teach the students typing skills so they get done more quickly."
"Assign the students roles (i.e. spell checker, typer, reader) to facilitate sharing of the responsibilites."
"Use the computer as a teaching tool." (read…the students never touch the computer)
At best, these "solutions" are antiquated answers, no longer relevant in a 21st century curriculum. At worst, the computer is rarely used by the students in any meaningful way. This cannot be allowed to happen in our schools. The machine that is education in the United States cannot continue to churn out students who are prepared for jobs that are either outsourced or no longer exist. Why sort and select students instead of providing opportunities for all to succeed? Why indeed?
In answer to these questions, teachers are making a difference in their own quiet way, in their own individual classrooms. Despite the many technical difficulties, the students plug away, using edublogs and wikispaces, communicating with their teachers via email, creating portfolios to demonstrate learning, and, hopefully, finding an audience to share their thinking and learning.
Maybe, for now, this has to be good enough.
"Is preparing students to enter a system that is at war with itself really preparing them for the future?"
This is just one of the thought-provoking questions asked in this viral video. To describe it further would do it injustice. Watch and judge for yourself.

Air Cleaning & Filtration
Keeping the air you breathe clean is critical to your health! Especially when we're talking about the air inside of your home. Dust, pet dander, VOCs (volatile organic chemicals), microbial contaminants, building materials, and other particulates in your air circulation can affect your health and the health of your family. Plus, odors and gasses in your home make your living spaces uncomfortable.
When your indoor air quality suffers, you may start to experience any of the following:
- Allergies Out of Season
- Increased Susceptibility to Colds
- Headaches, Nausea, Congestion, Sinus Pain
- Dry, Itchy Skin and Eyes
Indoor air doesn't have the benefit of open sunlight to clean away contaminants, and the result is that the air inside of our homes is often up to five times as polluted as the air outside!
So what can you do?
The solution is simple: call the local Fairfax indoor air quality experts at IAQ Medics for air cleaning and filtration services today!

Washington Post Staff Writer

There is a panic in the land, and it started on "Sesame Street."
The rumors, they are rampant. Taken together, in dark tones, and one could fear that the beloved boulevard is rapidly transforming into the Avenue of the Politically Correct Puppetariat.
Elmo and Zoe are on an exercise routine. Singing vegetables and talking fruit have invaded the neighborhood. Miles has a new song. It is about broccoli.
And, darkest of all, Cookie Monster has been stripped of his piles of quickly and loudly consumed chocolate-chip cookies.
From California to Australia, from New York to Oregon, fears have arisen about the sanctity of "Sesame Street," the children's show that just started its 36th season. The Los Angeles Times editorialized on the crisis, a staffer at the South Australia Sunday Mail declared herself "rocked to my foundations" by Cookie Monster's transformation, and the Associated Press bemoaned Cookie's new circumstances in a missive sent across the land. The blue fuzzball even wound up on this week's "Hit List" in Entertainment Weekly.
"Cookie Monster To Cut Down on Sugary Treats" reads the EW item, followed by a rant that begins with the word "Sellout!"
What on earth is happening?
Rosemarie Truglio, vice president of education and research for Sesame Workshop, sighs when asked about all the fuss. Sure, she's happy the show is getting so much attention. She's not so happy, however, about the interpretations she has heard.
"We are not putting Cookie on a diet," she says, with a hint of patient exasperation. "We're not taking cookies away from Cookie. It's about teaching moderation.
"We are not about intervention, we are about prevention -- putting healthy habits in [kids'] daily lives."
So this is the deal: For the season that began April 4, "Sesame Street" has decided to target the rampant problem of childhood obesity. So at the top of every show, there's a "healthy habit" that's introduced. There are new characters -- singing eggplants and sweet potatoes, talking apples and bananas. Elmo and Zoe play a healthy food game and learn about the benefits of exercise while jumping rope.
Baby Bear tells a story that involves those singing vegetables in a wizard's garden. Grover moonlights as an exercise instructor. Miles has a new song: "Broccoli Is Good," sung to the tune of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode."
And remember "C Is for Cookie," the Cookie Monster anthem? Well, there's a new song in town, and it's called "A Cookie Is a Sometime Food." And it's sung by Hoots the Owl and a banana, some grapes, a pineapple and an apple. (And, yes, it too is a parody -- this one based on "Porgy and Bess's" "A Woman Is a Sometime Thing").
So Cookie eats his fruit (not the singing ones, of course) enthusiastically. But at the end, he wants his cookies. And gets them.

Custom Wheels for '55 Bird
I am looking to swap out my stock steel wheels for 15" custom wheels. I don't want big gangster rims or crazy chrome, just a 60s street racer look. I like American Racing Salt Flat Specials. Anyone know what tire and backspacing will fit on my stock 55 TBird?
Re: Custom Wheels for '55 Bird
If you go to page 3, titled My 1956 ford thunderbird, greetings from Texas. He has pictures and sizes that might help you figure out what will fit even though there probably bigger than what you would use.

ADDISON COUNTY — In recent activity in Addison Superior Court, Criminal Division, the following took place:
Scott Boyle, 25, of Middlebury pleaded guilty by waiver to a May 26 charge of careless or negligent driving, and was ordered to complete the Reparative Board and was fined $147.
MIDDLEBURY — A Bristol man on Tuesday pleaded innocent in Chittenden Superior Court, criminal division, to a felony count of first-degree aggravated domestic assault with a weapon and a misdemeanor count of reckless endangerment, in connection with a Monday incident during which he allegedly struck a woman after firing a shotgun blast into the ceiling of his home.

MIDDLEBURY — Members of the Addison County judiciary are warning that a dramatic surge in the number of juvenile cases is stretching court staff to the limit and in some cases deferring the legal process for adult defendants whose cases must, by state law, take a backseat to justice for young victims and defendants.
MIDDLEBURY — There's a lot of work and a sense of mystery associated with being Addison County's public defender, and James Gratton embraces both facets of the job.
"I like the challenge of working with people," Gratton said. "I like the fact that I never know when I come in in the morning what's going to happen. I might be doing a motion that I wasn't expecting, I might be getting through the paperwork that's on my desk, for once.
MIDDLEBURY — "Be respectful and tolerant. Never raise your voice. Never be judgmental. Treat people kindly."
That's the approach to sentencing that U.S. District Judge William K. Sessions III has taken throughout his 20 years on the federal bench. It's a role the longtime Cornwall resident, of course, takes very seriously.
ADDISON COUNTY — Superior Court Judge Robert Mello called fiscal year 2014 — which spanned July 1, 2013, to June 30, 2014 — a record year.
ADDISON COUNTY — Addison County is in dire need of a new infusion of Guardians Ad Litem, community members who volunteer their time to make sure the voices of abused, troubled and/or neglected children get heard in court proceedings.
That's the word from state and local officials who said Addison County is down to about a dozen Guardians Ad Litem, some of whom are having to field more than a dozen cases simultaneously due to a dearth of volunteers available to take on the workload.
MIDDLEBURY — On July 9 in Addison Superior Court, Vergennes Union High School Co-Principal Edwin Webbley pleaded no contest to a charge of careless or negligent operation of a motor vehicle in a plea deal that ended a case against him that began on Feb. 6, when Vermont State Police alleged he was driving under the influence of alcohol.
According to court documents, Webbley, a 57-year-old Bristol resident and the Vermont Principals' Association 2010 Robert F. Pierce Vermont Secondary Principal of the Year, was fined $400 for the offense, plus $201 in surcharges.
GOSHEN — The town of Goshen is headed to court on May 30 to defend itself against a lawsuit brought by a former town constable.
Tom Kerr is suing the town in Addison County District Court on four counts, stating that the town unlawfully terminated his constable position, trash and recycling removal and landscaping contracts, and invoking Vermont's "whistleblower law," which prevents employers from retaliating against a worker who files a complaint or reports a problem with the employer.
BRISTOL — After the better part of a decade searching for the man who stole a Bristol Police Department cruiser while drunk, then crashed it, police last Thursday captured the man in his brother's home in Starksboro.
Later that same day, Addison County Superior Court Judge Helen Toor sentenced Carroll Thompson, 60, to four to six years in jail.

Relegation-threatened Harrogate Railway have signed young striker Nathan Curtis following his release from Spennymoor Town.
Curtis started his career as part of the Bradford City academy and made one appearance for the Bantams as a substitute in an FA Cup tie.
He was a prolific marksmen for Ossett Town at the start of the season, scoring nine goals before leaving Railway's relegation rivals for Spennymoor in November.
However he has struggled to make the same impression since moving to the north east.
With top goalscorers Steve Bromley and Jack Stockdill - who have six goals apiece - sidelined through injury, Curtis is likely to lead Railway's line against top of the table Warrington Town at Station View on Saturday.
"Nathan is a quality player for this level of football," said Railway boss Lee Ashforth.
"He will offer something different for us.
"We have been looking all season for a target man to chase down the balls into the corner and get goals and Nathan has that ability.
"He's still young so there's no pressure on him and it's not like we have other prolific goalscorers in the squad.
"That's why it has been important for us to bring someone in that brings goals."
The signing is the first at Railway since former chairman Rob Northfield offered a cash-assistance to the struggling club.
The wealthy businessman returned to Station View in a support role to chairman Nigel Corner last month and said funds would be available if required.

Lehmann has been speaking amid an argument between the Germany players and their federation over free choice of football boots, with the DFB having ordered their players to wear only those manufactured by principal sponsor Adidas. A players´ initiative has successfully defeated the policy and Lehmann insisted it was an issue about "health rather than finance".
"After one week of practice (with the national team back in May) I had physical problems and played the full World Cup with them," Lehmann told PA Sport following Wednesday night´s 3-0 win over Sweden, their first game under newly-appointed coach Joachim Low. "I still have problems right now."

Love stories. Yes, a few have appeared on these pages. Especially that of Nancy Lynn and Hal Kessler, whom I interviewed for Valentine's Day two years ago. Their late love blossomed after a chance encounter at a supermarket – he had been her high school teacher. Fifty years before.
|Hal and Nancy's Florida toast, 2013
On Valentine's Day, it's worthwhile re-reading Sue Carson's story about her relationship with her mother and how, in the end, she learned to love her. "I decided at that moment that I was going to really work at opening up to love,'' she told me. "I decided I would be a more loving, devoted person, particularly to [my husband] John. Because I realize he's my core. He's who I'm with. If I can love him more, that's the place to begin. Some days are easier than others. Some days are hard. But there's this huge change and shift in my relationship with him."
Let me end this Valentine's post with another love story.
In 2012, I reconnected (through my college class reunion) with Becky Burckmyer, who lost the love of her life to death. And then, by trying to heal herself and save her grand old shore home, she opened a Bed and Breakfast that quickly got rave reviews.
And then, doing what she loved, she found love. A longtime friend turned into something more.
"Bobby and I," she wrote me last week, "are still very much an item: he is living with me in Marblehead now. In March, we rent an apartment in Andover while he coaches crew for three months, then we move to his house in Chatham for the summer and rather than doing B and B, I rent my house, furnished, by the month, for an outrageous price. I just couldn't keep up the work with the B and B--it was doing very well but I was exhausted.
Also a strain on the love affair."
Thanks to everyone who is reading UnRetiring. I've surpassed 50,000 hits.
I love having followers who think I have something worthwhile to say. If you have a love story to share, please do!!
And to my Larry….I love you!

Skateboarding, whether professional or just for fun, just keeps getting more popular. There are extreme athletes that perform unbelievably acrobatic maneuvers on the half-pipe and skaters who just enjoy testing their skills at the local park. You can add these high-flying, tricking images to a skateboarding rug to bring some exciting elements of this popular sport home with you. The most exciting moments of skateboarding are captured in these designs, from jumping high in the air over obstacles or pulling off the 360 in mid air.
There's no fear of crash landing here because all you get is that perfect moment frozen in time and used to decorate a skateboarding-themed room. These images can include everything from a dark silhouette against a sunset to simple cartoon images of skaters (human or otherwise) testing their skills. If you have more artistic tastes, there are also plenty of abstract skating designs of high-flying stunts over colorful painted backgrounds or artistic designs.
Anyone who has skated for a while likely has many incredible pictures of their best jumps or crazy stunts, and these will make great images for area rugs. Create the types of rugs that will fit perfectly in your house and especially the room where you keep all your important gear.

It was also the first year into a new consulting business, The TAKE ACTION! Network, which I launched in 2007.
As you have probably guessed, I have an entrepreneurial spirit! So, it is no surprise that I take risks.

Evening all!
Long time no see. Sorry I haven't been around for a few weeks, I have been a busy little bee with work, kids, life, gardening, re-vamping furniture! You name It I have done it. So like I always say to you lot, I have listened to my body and my mind, it is tired and needs a little TLC. So it got it. I've indulged in foods, done bugger all exercise apart from walking the legs off myself and just appreciated the little things, like my garden, cooking dinner and all sitting together around the table and listening to the kids fight over who finished their dinners first and my youngest announcing she heard dad say F**k in the car! I nearly chocked on my chicken nugget!
Mental health, do you ever really ask yourself "how is mine?" We know how our physical health is, because we ache if we have done to much, take time off work if we have been ill, may get a headache due to stress or not eating enough food but Mental health is an odd one. It expresses itself in funny ways, think about that person that may come across as odd, peculiar, over-powering, angry, stand-off-ish and maybe craving attention from male or females, now these people may just be utter idiots or they could be struggling themselves with an inner demon. Its only because I work within mental health, deal with it daily and pop a tiny white pill every day that controls those chemicals in my swede that makes me think about you lot, care about you lot and drive you all mad when I see you out and ask if you really are ok and don't ask about the kids because really as much as I love your scrumptious new smelling babies I love your minds more. I know that, that baby is being kept alive by someone that loves them unconditionally but who is loving you unconditionally? Imagine your minds are like your bodies. They need exercise. They need to be stretched and nurtured. How do you stretch your mind? Well push yourself. Give yourself a goal or target you would like to achieve within 3 months. Mine is to drive, I've passed my theory test a week ago and now my driving test is booked! Its good to have something to focus on and be busy with instead of work, kids and the house. My other goal is to go to India! soak up the culture, drown in the colours and visit the Taj Mahal. That's a plan a bit further away, but I will get there. One of the hardest things I think I've ever done is getting through the first few years of motherhood. I look at their baby photos and think they are just amazing but I wouldn't go back there, didn't enjoy that bit really I just saw every day as another lap completed. Now I am enjoying it, no buggy, no nappies, no nappie bag/suitcase, no night-feeds and no potty training. Some people love that, not me. I love this bit, the full blown conversations, them being able to tell me what's up and not have to guess and having a laugh and doing things with them that makes them think I'm quite cool and me think the same about them!! My kids are cool and we are great friends as well as me being Mum. But I am only good now because my mental health is good. God I hope it stays this way, its been a while now and I feel so normal its great! So, this week how will your mental health be? be conscious of how you feel, don't be proud of suffering and not telling anyone, where the point in that? To be scared shows you feel something, to be sad means you love, to be depressed means you want to care and feel love and to have anxiety means you care to much. Its just one wave at the moment, ride it. it goes, don't worry if another wave is coming. You cant ride it if it isn't there. Start today, have a word with yourself and choose happy.
Lots of love……

Increased Speed With Faster Read/Writes
Kingston Technology Company, Inc. today announced it is increasing read and write speeds on its DataTraveler 410 USB Flash drive to 20MB/sec. read and write. Shipping in capacities up to 32GB, the speedy DataTraveler 410 allows for faster file transfers and is password protected to help keep data secure.
"Power users, enterprise customers and everyday consumers have wanted the ability to store and move large files around faster as USB Flash drives have become more prevalent in everyday use," said Andrew Ewing, USB business manager, Kingston. "Based on customer feedback, we developed the DataTraveler 410 with higher data transfer rates and security in mind as well as a terrific price point."
The faster read and write speeds make the DataTraveler 410 the ideal drive for high-definition photos, large documents, presentations, music, videos and other data. It includes SecureTraveler software which allows users to create and access a password-protected area of the drive called the "Privacy Zone."
The increased data transfer rates of the DataTraveler 410 follow a recent speed bump of the higher capacities (16- and 32GB) of Kingston's consumer-level DataTraveler I, DataTraveler 101 and DataTraveler 112 drives to read and write speeds of 10MB/sec. These drives offer consumers choices in color, capacity, and whether the USB comes with a cap, retractable body or swivel design.
Kingston DataTraveler USB drives are backed by a five-year warranty and 24/7 tech support.

- Operating Temperature: 32° F to 140° F (0° C to 60° C)
- Storage Temperature: -4° F to 185° F (-20° C to 85° C)
- Simple: just plug into a USB port
- Practical: capless swivel design protects USB connector; no cap to lose

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a child born to a teen mother is more likely to have behavior problems, chronic medical issues and lower proficiency scores upon entering kindergarten. He is at risk of being incarcerated as a teen or young adult and of dropping out of school and parenting a child at a young age. In 2006, U.S. teen mothers, ages 15 to 19, gave birth 435,436 times. Of greatest concern, however, is the high rate of infant mortality among these babies.
Infant Mortality
The infant mortality rate describes the number of infants who die before their first birthday. In 1970, the infant mortality rate was 20 deaths per 1,000 live births. In 2003, it had dropped to 6.9 deaths per 1,000 live births. While infant mortality rates have dropped over the last three decades, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. is still only ranked 27th among nations considered industrialized.
Teen Risk Factors
In 2007, the March of Dimes reports, teen birth rates began to increase after they had been declining. More teens give birth in the U.S. than in most other developed countries. In 2006, more than 10 percent of babies born in the U.S. were born to mothers under 20. Several risk factors unique to teens contribute to higher infant mortality rates among babies born to teenage mothers. First, teens are more likely to continue smoking throughout a pregnancy, increasing the risk of low birth weight, premature birth, complications during pregnancy and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Second, teens are more likely than older women to have a sexually transmitted disease. Chlamydia, syphilis and HIV all carry serious risks for the baby during pregnancy and after birth. Third, teen mothers, more often than mothers over 20, give birth prematurely, putting the infant at higher risk of mortality. Fourth, "regular and early prenatal care," says the March of Dimes, is least likely to occur among teens, who often receive late--or even no--prenatal care.
In 2005, the infant mortality rate for babies born to mothers under 20 was 10.28 deaths per 1,000 live births compared to the average of 6.86 deaths per 1,000 live births for all births. The statistics look even grimmer when the age of the teen mother is under 15. In 2006, babies born to teen mothers under 15 suffered an infant mortality rate of 16.4 deaths per 1,000 live births. That same year, the infant mortality rate for babies born to mothers of all ages was 6.8 per 1,000.
Many programs are in place to help prevent or reduce infant mortality, including Medicaid, Healthy Start, State Children's Health Insurance Program, public health campaigns and medical research targeted toward reducing birth defects, SIDS and premature birth. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy's mission is to "improve the well-being of children, youth, families, and the nation by preventing unplanned and teen pregnancy," according to their website. This campaign works toward teaching personal responsibility, increasing the use of contraception and providing education for teens.
A specific area of concern is low birth weight (LBW). Babies with LBW are at particularly high risk of dying, and babies born to teen mothers are much more likely to have LBW. Pregnant teens can reduce the risk of LBW by eating a healthy diet, remaining physically active, avoiding smoking and second-hand smoke, maintaining a healthy weight themselves, managing stress, getting regular prenatal care, consuming foods with iron and folic acid and staying off drugs and alcohol.

BANDY CREEK — The Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area is proposing to make the swimming pool at the Bandy Creek Campground financially viable for the 2014 summer season in part by eliminating season family pool passes.
In a release Thursday, the Big South Fork announced that it was proposing the change after "actively researching options for opening the Bandy Creek swimming pool next season."
The financially-strapped pool did not open in 2013, and the closure was blamed on sequestration — automated federal budget cuts implemented after the president and Congress failed to come to terms on spending reductions.To continue reading, please subscribe to the Independent Herald.

There is a delightful short story in the current New Yorker (Feb 13 & 20, 2006) called "A Shinagawa Monkey", by Haruki Murakami. It is a brief enigmatic piece, about 20 minutes reading time, translated from the Japanese by Philip Gabriel. If it is a parable, it is hard to say what it is a parable of; it is nominally about a monkey who steals names.
See our Writing Notes department for our Review of this fascinating little tale.

Before 2009 wage stagnation and rising inequality were all the fault of George W. Bush and his "tax cuts for the rich." Now that these problems have become much worse under Barack Obama, they are "America's problem" and "a long-term structural problem" that has nothing to do with Obama's policies. According to New York Times pundit Nick Kristoff the U.S. is now a "land of limitations" with less social mobility than Europe. Kristoff tells a sob story about his friend Rick Goff, an Oregon resident who had a hard life working in lumber mills and machine shops. Rick would have fared better in capitalist Texas than socialist Oregon, whose timber industry was killed off by environmentalists, along with many other industries. There's not much commercial activity left in Portland, aside from coffee shops and strip clubs. Downtown Portland on a Tuesday in December feels like Seattle on a Sunday in August.
A major reason why the U.S. is becoming a "land of limitations" is something economists tend to ignore because it is hard to measure: a huge increase in regulations, whereby DC elites spend unlimited amounts of other people's money on projects that make no sense. Bureaucrats write a rule and companies spend billions to obey the rule, in order to avoid huge fines. Even if the expenditure has no discernible benefit, no one in DC is fired and the rule remains on the books. Exhibit A is the new SEC rule requiring companies to report the ratio of the compensation of the CEO to the median pay of all the employees. Companies will spend millions to generate data revealing that CEO's make much, much more than the typical worker. Duh.
Even fans of this new rule admit it will have little or no effect. Regulatory guru Kenneth Feinberg confessed on Bloomberg radio, "I am not sure it will make any difference. I'm not [sure]." The Financial Times editorialized about the wonderful merits of the new rule, but half of the editorial explained why the results will be misleading. A company that outsources manufacturing to China will have a "better" ratio than one that runs its own factories. Wall Street firms will look "better" than retailers because top traders and bankers make as much as the CEOs.
Then there's the redoubtable Gretchen Morgensen of the New York Times, who has made a good living over the years railing against excessive CEO pay. You would think she would love the SEC rule, but her praise has more hedges than an English garden. The rule "may actually do something to curb over-the-top pay," and "may encourage other stakeholders" to pay attention to CEO pay, and "it's possible" some consumers will care what the CEO makes. But she quotes a compensation consultant who "doesn't think investors will pay much attention to the new law."
It's nice to hear that a rule that will cost millions of dollars to implement "may" not be a total waste of money, but there is absolutely no reason to think so. Even the liberal media could not find anyone who thinks it will make any difference. By siphoning off money from the real economy to the DC beltway, it simply helps to make the U.S. a "land of limitations."
The WSJ ran a piece analyzing why, "Sagging Productivity Vexes Economy." It fingers the usual suspects–"hangover from the recession," "lackluster capital investment," measurement problems–but fails to mention increased regulation. Economists at the Business Roundtable and the Conference Board should weigh in, with some simple modeling. Productivity is a fraction: output / worker. When companies add workers without adding to output, in order to follow DC's rules, it is obviously a big drag on this fraction and an even bigger drag on the increase of that fraction over time.

Traditional IRA
What is a Traditional IRA?
A traditional IRA is an investment vehicle for retirement that allows you to contribute after-tax dollars to a tax deferred account on which you will not pay taxes on until you begin taking distributions at retirement; presumably in a lower tax bracket.
A traditional IRA can be created at your local bank or at an online brokerage house such as Fidelity or TDAmeritrade.
Who can contribute to a Traditional IRA?
Any person who earns an income is eligible to participate in the traditional IRA. Depending on your salary level and a couple other factors, you may or may not be able to deduct these contributions on your tax return. See the rules on this below.
You may not contribute to your IRA after you reach the age of 70 and 1/2.
Traditional IRA Contribution Limits
For the 2010 tax year, the contribution limits are $5,000 per person, $8,000 for a married couple. These maximums will increase to $5,000 and $10,000 for 2010. Now, if you are over the age of 50, you can add an extra $1,000 per year per person, therefore, making it $6,000 in 2010. This is commonly referred to as a "Catch Up" contribution. Married couples can contribute up to $12,000 cummulatively.
Now, one key point to remember is that the contributlon limit is the aggregate of your traditional IRA and Roth IRA contributions. For example, if you are 45 and you contribute $3,000 to your Roth IRA, you can only contribute $2,000 to your traditional IRA.
What are the Tax Advantages of a Traditional IRA?
If you fall within the modified adjusted gross income guidelines set by the IRS, you may deduct your traditional IRA contribution from your gross income.
Single Filer
If you are single and your adjusted gross income is below $56,000, the contribution is fully deductible. Between $56,000 and $66,000, the deduction is gradually phased out and for filers with an AGI of above $66,000, no deduction is allowed.
Married Filing Jointly
For those of you who are married and filing jointly, the phaseout range is $89,000 to $109,000. This means that if you both have an AGI below $83,000, you are eligible for a full deduction and if you AGI is more than $109,000 jointly, no deduction is allowed.
Making Investment Elections
The IRA is not an investment in itself. It is merely an account in which you can make investment elections. IRA's allow investment in stocks, bonds, CD's, mutual funds, and other investments such as real estate. IRA's, however, do NOT allow one to short a stock in the account. You are only allowed to buy shares and sell those shares. In order for you to profit on the short side in this account, you may want to look into some ETF's which bet on the market doing down. See our list of leveraged ETF's.

Families enjoyed group Spanish lessons, sampling of authenitic Mexican food, live cooking demos, and professional Latin dance presentations. We ended the afternoon with a dance party, with everyone dancing merengue and salsa! A lively atmosphere, with upbeat music, delicious burritos, quesadillas, and salsa and families learning Spanish together allowed community members to learn more about our country's Spanish speaking population. As a bilingual educator, teaching Spanish to children, I was proud that our event was able to showcase our unique program and to raise an awareness of early language instruction. With close to 200 hundred people attending our Fiesta, we were happy to benefit the Vistas Nuevas Head Start program, which serves the primarily Spanish speaking populuation of SW Detroit.

Many people believe retirement means having the time and finances to entertain guests on a regular basis or to have a home filled with grandchildren. However, many seniors live alone, and they may no longer have a spouse or friends living in the area. A solitary lifestyle commonly leads to boredom.
If your aging loved one lives alone and needs more opportunities for mental and social stimulation, consider hiring a caregiver. For families living in Milwaukee, WI, respite care can be a wonderful solution when their aging loved ones need companionship and socialization a few hours a week or just need minor assistance with daily household tasks. At Home Care Assistance, we thrive on helping seniors maintain their independence while living in the comfort of home.
Here are a few ways older adults can stay busy and keep boredom at bay.
1. Volunteer
Many community organizations have flexible and interesting volunteer opportunities for seniors. The volunteer positions enable seniors to make the most of their experience and knowledge. Older adults can volunteer for one event or project to get a feel for the activity. As time goes on, they can devote as much time as desired. Popular volunteer options include assisting grade school teachers or teaching a skill to youth groups.
2. Focus on Fitness
Seniors who want to lose weight may want to start cycling, running, or engaging in another form of exercise. It is never too late to engage in a program to meet fitness goals. After getting approval from a primary care physician, older adults can join a local fitness center where they can take classes and gain the advice of professional staff. Community or recreation centers are other options that have athletic programs designed with seniors in mind.
3. Get a Part-Time Job
When seniors reach the age of retirement, they don't need to stop working. Many older adults enjoy part-time jobs that provide the opportunity to socialize. The job may enable individuals to use the skills they developed over the years, and they might even learn new skills.
4. Explore Ancestry
Many seniors devote their spare time to researching their genealogy. By delving into the past, older adults have the chance to learn about their ancestors and ethnic roots. Many have uncovered fascinating stories about former relatives. Genealogy studies can be a great way to start a legacy. While doing the research, seniors might encounter family branches and relatives they never knew existed.
Hiring a dedicated caregiver is another way to prevent your aging loved one from spending his or her days alone and bored. Not every senior has the same care needs, which means they don't all need the same in-home care services. Milwaukee families can rely on Home Care Assistance to provide individualized care plans to meet your elderly loved one's unique care needs. Our holistic Balanced Care Method was designed to help seniors focus on healthy lifestyle habits such as eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, and maintaining strong social ties, and our Cognitive Therapeutics Method offers mentally stimulating activities that can stave off cognitive decline and delay the onset of dementia.
5. Spend Time Learning
Being old does not mean seniors no longer have the ability to learn. There are many stories of how older adults went back to school to earn high school diplomas or college degrees. Along with successfully combating boredom, learning keeps the brain active and healthy. Seniors can take a class to learn a new hobby or gain further knowledge related to a particular interest. Older students are commonly found in community colleges and universities, and they can also take classes online or opt for home study courses. Many institutions offer tuition discounts to senior students.
Seniors living with health conditions are at high risk of experiencing boredom. Performing daily tasks while simultaneously managing the symptoms of a serious illness can be challenging for seniors. The Milwaukee, WI, live-in care experts at Home Care Assistance are available 24/7 to make sure your loved one has the care he or she needs to remain safe and comfortable while aging in place. If you need a trained caregiver for your elderly loved one, contact us at (262) 782-3383 today.

Boston is a great town for cocktail fans, but what about hounds who just want a great selection of whiskey? Since we've already mapped out a craft cocktail crawl, it's only appropriate to map out the best places for whiskey-lovers, too.
In Boston proper, Citizen Public House has an extensive whiskey selection, with dozens of American and bourbon whiskeys and a long list of Scotch whisky, too. Down the street, Sweet Cheeks also has a large whiskey menu to complement its "terrific food," Jolyon Helterman says.
North of the river, ChinaCat recommends Russell House Tavern in Harvard Square for its selection of bourbon, single-malt Scotch, and Irish whiskey, though Gabatta thinks that the bartending is inconsistent at best. Instead, Gabatta likes the Saloon in Davis Square, in the basement of Foundry on Elm. "Their selection of bourbon is particularly wide," Gabatta says. "While they don't offer as many Scotch choices, their small selection has some outstanding options."
Five Horses Tavern, also in Davis Square, has a good selection of whiskey (particularly bourbon). "The atmosphere is busy (too many TVs) and I can't vouch for the food," says huuvola, who also suggests The Independent in Union Square for its good whiskey selection.
Many of these bars have menus online, so whiskey-lovers can look for their favorites. And if you're a whiskey novice, be sure to check out this whiskey primer to learn the differences between Irish, Scotch, and American versions.

June 1st and some silhouette plates....
So wow is it really June 1st today?? Holy smokes folks that last month was a blur for me. Was it for you too? I am getting all prepped and ready to make a re-entry on the interwebs next week. My long break was much needed but I am missing this space so I will be here monday with a new craft to share...just something easy of course.
I can't believe my oldest is going to be six in a few weeks and my baby will be one month on sunday. Time is flying, summer is coming and I feel my shaky legs learning the ropes of how to manage a household as a mommy to four little ones.
I am making a brief appearance today too over on the Beautifully Rooted blog sharing this super simple and fun project for silhouette plates. If you would like the full tutorial head over HERE.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! xoxo

"Reset" is really just a story about a serial killer with a connection to the protagonist. For those who need more spice in their crime, it might feel boring.
My thoughts
The issue I have with this is that I do not really get what this show is about.
The majority of the article is concerned about essentially OCN's inability to grasp the concept of episodic procedural crime shows. What this is interesting, reading the fact that the show is more serialized does not really tell me about the show especially if it is serialized.
In addition, there is a too abrupt attempt to try to say many nice things in the last paragraph of the article.
Talking about the show, OCN has lost me a long time ago and nothing that I hear is encouraging I risk wasting my time.

I really trusted you. I really thought you would be there for me. I did everything you asked. I tried to listen to your voice, follow every rule. I wanted to believe you would come through for me. That you really cared for me. That you weren't some distant God far away, but intimately involved in my life.
I thought I saw your footsteps in the sand, carrying me along. I thought I felt your touch, leading me along the right path. There were times when I thought you'd gone, when I couldn't reconcile what was happening in my life with your Goodness and Love, but then you would show me that you were there. The light would come on and I'd see my way through.
But now I am at the end of a dream. I will never get to be a mom. I will never hold my child in my arms or watch them grow into a young woman or man. I will never feel the depth of the worry and pain or the love and joy only a child can bring. And you are nowhere to be found. Who will answer for my lost dream?
I watch as so many others receive this beautiful gift of a child. Others who don't know you, others who are kind and loving and then there are those who receive this gift and treat it with contempt. Too selfish to make the sacrifice to love unconditionally. If you are really good and you are really loving then how can you allow such injustice? If you are not watching out for us then who is?
I have been through many difficult things in my life, and I have seen how it has grown me and made me a better person, but there is nothing I can learn from this lesson that will make up for the fact that you have left me barren. Over and over again in stories of God, you bless families with children, in fact you saved the world through a child, and yet you withhold this one thing, the one blessing from me, even though I have served you all my life. How can you be good? How can you be loving? You say you know how to give good gifts to your Children, well where is my good gift? You give to others and not to me?
My only conclusion is that you are not the God I thought you were. Either you are not loving and good or you are far away and not intimately involved in my life. I choose the later because I cannot bear the thought that you would allow such pain in my life and could stand idle beside me and watch it unfold and do nothing about it. And if you are far away, that is fine, because I do not want you in my life any more. You have betrayed me and I don't know if I can ever forgive you. I am sad to see this part of my life end, but maybe it's for the best. Your rules and laws have keep me trapped and burdened me unnecessarily. It's time for me to be out on my own. To know that I can make good decisions that I am a good person with or without you and that I have the power in me to bring good into my life.

One of the most dangerous buildings in Spen has finally been sold after years of negotiations and campaigns.
The former Maccess building, off Spen Lane in Gomersal, has been derelict for several years, and subject to numerous fires and incidents of vandalism, prompting people living in the area to campaign for its demolition.
And, in an email sent to the Reporter Series, Mark Whitehead, owner of Castlerock Capital, which owns the building, said: "As promised, I have pursued a number of solutions to rectify the situation at the Maccess site."
"I have managed to find a local developer who has bought the site from CCL and who will be submitting a planning application immediately to Kirklees council for the development of residential homes."
He went on to say he had notified the council on Thursday that the sale went gone through and that the developer will meet with the council in the coming days to discuss a planning application.
Mr Whitehead added: "They are fully aware of the local residents concerns and I have passed on their respective details to them.
"I have no doubt that you will see some major changes on the site in the very near term."
The news comes just weeks after 13-year-old Emily Warrillow presented a petition to demolish the building to Kirklees Council.
Mr Whitehead courted controversy last year by blaming some of the "destructive" elements of the local community for the building's vandalised state.

|Lang Tombong Tamba
It was because of this ethnocentric belief based more on the career ambition of one man - Gen Lang Tombong Tamba - that led Jammeh to the systematic purging - which, unfortunately included physical elimination - of Mandikas from the military and intelligence services.
|Edward Singhatey, VP -ECOWAS
Immediately following their arrest in March 2006, a meeting was convened at State House chaired by Yaya Jammeh. Interior Minister Ousman Sonko, Gen. Lang Tombong Tamba. Captain Tumbul Tamba and Major Musa Jammeh were in attendance. General Lang Tombong Tamba drew up a "kill list" of the accused that included former NIA Director General Abdoulie Kujabi and recommended that they be killed to send a strong message to Gambians. However Abdoulie Kujabi's life was spared thanks to Ousman Sonko who, by his own account to the Spanish authorities, pleaded to Jammeh not to kill Mr. Kujabi.
The former Interior Minister of Yaya Jammeh has confirmed to the Spanish authorities that Daba Marena and his four colleagues were killed by Captain Tumbul Tamba and Major Musa Jammeh who returned to State House to report to Jammeh that the "mission was accomplished" and they bragged about it by describing the manner they were butchered.
We now know from Sonko's account of events that Jammeh actually took part in concocting the spurious official statement explaining to the world that the detainees were being transported to Janjangburay prisons about 250 km away when they escaped after the vehicle they were traveling in was involved in an accident, the plausibility of which was immediately questioned.
In Jammeh's Gambia, prisoners are handcuffed and shackled with leg-irons - reminiscent of slavery era - and guarded by AK-47 totting prison guards. The fact that they were never captured or sighted anywhere since further heightened the skepticism of he official line. the circumstances leading to the disappearances of Daba Marena and his colleagues.
|The late Daba Narena
By Sonko's account, Lang Tombong Tamba was also able to convince Jammeh to purge the Singhatey brothers, first Peter and then Edward from his regime. Peter was exiled to the United Kingdom and Edward was relieved of his functions as a state Minister before being banished to the University of the Gambia Law School.
After being appointed magistrate in a judiciary that is controlled by the Gambian dictator, his candidature for the Vice Presidency of ECOWAS was sponsored by the regime. He's now based in Abuja. Both Edward and Peter Singhatey were part of the original coup makers and partners in arms with Jammeh who seized power from a legally constituted government of Sir Dawda Jawara.
Of those who participated in the decision to kill Daba Marena, Lt. Ebou Lowe, Lt. Alieu Ceesay, Warrant Officer Alpha Bah and Staff Sgt. Manlafi Corr, only Yaya Jammeh, Ousman Sonko and Gen. Tamba are alive.
Lang Tombong Tamba was ultimately implicated in a coup and sentenced to death only to be "pardoned" by Jammeh a year ago and reportedly living in obscurity in his native village of Sintet. Captain Tumbul Tamba and Major Musa Jammeh both died under mysterious circumstances and as far as we can ascertain Abdoulie Kujabi is living a painful existence from wounds inflicted from severe and sustained torture at the hands of his former subordinates at the NIA he once headed.

For as long as Scientology has existed it has had its critics. The criticism covers the actions of the Church of Scientology and related organizations, the work of L. Ron Hubbard itself, and the church's way of dealing with criticism.
Fair Game Edit
In 1967 Hubbard set out the Fair Game policy for dealing with critics allowing them to be declared enemies of the church, called Suppressive Persons, and "may be deprived of property or injured by any means... May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed."[1]
Whilst this policy was replaced in 1968, critics argue that only the usage of the term was ended and the practice itself continues, highlighting "HCO Policy Letter of October 21, 1968", which states "The practice of declaring people FAIR GAME will cease. FAIR GAME may not appear on any Ethics Order. It causes bad public relations. This P/L does not cancel any policy on the treatment or handling of an SP."

French footballing legend Zinedine Zidane says that Liverpool's Steven Gerrard "deserves" to win the Premier League title with this season for his loyalty and contribution to the game in recent history.
The Reds skipper has been enjoying somewhat of a renaissance over the course of the past few months since being transformed into a deep-lying playmaker by Brendan Rodgers.
Although he has long been famed for his driving runs and solo efforts, Gerrard has been just as influential from in front of his own backline during the Merseysiders' ten-game winning streak which has seen them build a two point advantage at the top of the table with just four games to go.
The 33-year-old has enjoyed a fine career which has included numerous domestic and European trophies, but the title has always been just out of reach for the one-club man.
Zidane, arguably one of the very best players to ever play the game, hailed Gerrard's loyalty to his boyhood club and said that he believes he has earned the right to lift the trophy:
"He has had a great career winning many things – but it would be a big shame for him if he was never to win the league with Liverpool," he is quoted by the Daily Mail.
"For everything that he has given – he deserves a league title.
"I don't think that is any secret that Real Madrid and Chelsea had big interest in him and that is just the teams the media knew about.
"He could have played for any team in Europe – but he turned them down. That sort of loyalty should be rewarded with a title.
"There was a point when Gerrard was the best midfield player in the world. It is unusual to get complete midfield players who can do everything, but that is what he was.
"His legs are not going to be what they were five or six years ago – but his presence and leadership are invaluable for Liverpool."
