What is Universal Design for Learning?
Universal Design for Learning
is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn.
UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs.
Why is UDL necessary?
Individuals bring a huge variety of skills, needs, and interests to learning. Neuroscience reveals that these differences are as varied and unique as our DNA or fingerprints. Three primary brain networks come into play:
Recognition Networks
The "what" of learning
How we gather facts and categorize what we see, hear, and read. Identifying letters, words, or an author's style are recognition tasks.
Present information and content in different ways
Multiple Means of Representation
Strategic Networks
The "how" of learning
Planning and performing tasks. How we organize and express our ideas. Writing an essay or solving a math problem are strategic tasks.
Differentiate the ways that students can express what they know
Multiple Means of Action and Expression
Affective Networks
The "why" of learning
How learners get engaged and stay motivated. How they are challenged, excited, or interested. These are affective dimensions.
Stimulate interest and motivation for learning
Multiple Means of Engagement

I tend to rate a lineup based on the "second and third line". Those are the bands that will really determine whether I had a good time. Friday looks awesome, Saturday is kind meh except FOALS is awesome, and Sunday is pretty good.

Through the top of each tower is treaded a bright yellow ribbon creating an image of a peace sign from above.

Who knows with a bit of luck and hard work it may happen in real life."

Automatically create intelligent documentation
Tools to reduce cost and improve accuracy of publications by creating formatted documentation directly from data sources. Ability to deliver highly navigable, vehicle/configuration-specific data into the service technician's environment.
Capital Publisher
Create documentation packages by automatically repurposing engineering data. Capital Publisher
Capital Training
Capital's Service Tools
Capital delivers technology to address both creation of electrical system documentation, and subsequent vehicle service. Capital Publisher is a powerful application that efficiently re-purposes design data to create documentation. Electrical design data can be validated, re-partitioned, and the output automatically formatted into multiple languages and graphical styles, including direct-from-data synthesis of new diagrams. Data from adjacent domains, such as 3D MCAD and 2D location views, can be automatically linked. As-built (as distinct from as-designed) data can also be incorporated, enhancing documentation accuracy. Output packages from Capital Publisher can be posted to existing documentation environments, such as content management systems or applications built around the S1000D standard. Common file formats are supported, including Web-CGM.
Taken together, these technologies greatly streamline documentation creation and create digital continuity from design to the documentation & service domains. Data synchronization and re-entry errors are avoided, as is task duplication.
Just as important, Capital Publisher can create smart packages that contain both formatted data and also offer rich assistance for the service technician. This assistance delivers intuitive, highly navigable display of schematics, wire lists, connector faceviews, location diagrams and other types of associated data. Advanced features such as signal tracing, schematic "click & sprout" and configuration-specific or vehicle-specific presentation greatly simplify technicians' troubleshooting tasks, especially when integrated with a diagnostic environment. Involving zero software installation, the smart packages may be delivered by any suitable means: website, email, CD, memory stick etc. The capability is designed for use in extended, access-controlled environments such as service networks.

Vintage 1969 Jimi Hendrix Concert Coming To Disc Next Month
Saturday, June 29, 2013
Coming on July 9th is the latest Jimi Hendrix "official bootleg" from Dagger Records being sold through AuthenticHendrix.com. Ultimate Classic Rock reported that Live In Cologne, which has been bootlegged numerous times over the years, is more of a historical curio for die-hards than an audiophile's delight, having been recorded on January 13th, 1969 in Cologne, Germany by a fan using a single microphone in the audience. Live In Cologne is being released on 180-gram vinyl with a digital download as a web exclusive.
Chicago co-founder and trombonist James Pankow says that of all the musicians who helped the band during their early days, it was Jimi Hendrix that did the most in launching the band. Pankow, who 46 years after starting the group is still out on the road, says that Hendrix picking them as his opening act pushed Chicago to the next level: "'Got discovered by Jimi Hendrix (who) took us on the road, gave us exposure that was invaluable. And record companies started bidding wars on the band because they recognized the original approach and the depth of the music enough that (they) felt it warranted it being recorded. Y'know, we didn't know anything. Writing music and playing it -- that's all we knew."
The tracklisting to the Jimi Hendrix Experience's Live In Cologne is: "Come On (Let The Good Times Roll)," "Foxey Lady," "Red House," "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," "Fire," "Spanish Castle Magic," "Hey Joe," "Sunshine Of Your Love," "Star Spangled Banner," and "Purple Haze."

MUSIC NERD MOMENT OF THE DAY: Donny Hathaway – Some Day We'll All Be Free
On this second to last day of Black History Month, I thought it would be appropriate to highlight an uplifting and prideful song by one of the greatest soul music artists ever who left us far too soon. Donny Hathaway, though not always as celebrated as Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye and many of the other big names 1970s soul music, made some amazing contributions to the genre. One of his greatest accomplishments has got to be this tune. In the same vein as Mayfield's "Move On Up" and Wonder's "Black Man", "Some Day We'll All Be Free" is a composition that's powerful and haunting. This is mainly due to the fact that there is so much emotion and candor in Hathaway's voice from beginning to end. But what makes it even more ironic was the singer's own struggles with depression and self doubt that would unfortunately cut his life entirely too short. Though he's no longer with us in the physical, he left us a bevy of classic music, this being one of his most inspired and positive statements, and one that future generations can definitely use.

Barry Callebaut's joint venture partner Biopartenaire now Rainforest Alliance Certified™
- In partnership with Barry Callebaut, Biopartenaire's local presence in rural villages offers independent farmers improved market access
- Biopartenaire now holds dual certification; company achieved sustainability standards of UTZ Certified in 2011
- Biopartenaire replicates in Côte d'Ivoire its farmer-centric, village-to-port business model started in Tanzania
Zurich/Switzerland, December 6, 2012 – Barry Callebaut, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate products, announced that its joint venture partner Biopartenaire, a specialized village-to-port cocoa bean supplier based in Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire, is now Rainforest Alliance Certified™. Biopartenaire was designated UTZ Certified in 2011.
Established in 2010, Biopartenaire works with cocoa farmers in 292 villages to produce good quality, well-fermented and well-dried cocoa. Together with Barry Callebaut's sustainability experts, the company offers farmer trainings in good agricultural practices and proper post-harvest management techniques in accordance with leading certification standards. Biopartenaire's village-to-port proprietary sourcing model ensures a high degree of transparency and supply chain security.
"Biopartenaire works with smallholder farmers on the basis of mutual respect and trust. These guiding principles served us in good stead as we built our business in the challenging months after the post-election crisis in Côte d'Ivoire," said Eric Smeets, founder of Biopartenaire. "Achieving recognition first as UTZ Certified and now as Rainforest Alliance Certified in about two years is a testament to the perseverance and hard work of our staff and all our participating farmers, and underscores our commitment to smallholders and sustainable cocoa."
Barry Callebaut buys most of the cocoa produced by the farmers who have registered to work with Biopartenaire.
"We believe Biopartenaire's business model is an effective way to reach thousands of cocoa farmers who are not associated with a farmer group or cooperative and who, as independent smallholders, don't experience the benefits such organizations can offer in terms of training, services and market access," said Nicholas Camu, Group Manager Cocoa Horizons at Barry Callebaut. "Through our joint venture with Biopartenaire, we aim to leverage its farmer-centric approach to reach more farming communities and advance sustainable cocoa production in Côte d'Ivoire."
Biopartenaire, a subsidiary of the Biolands Group, is based on the successful farmer-centric business model designed by the founders of Biolands in Tanzania. Biolands, Africa's largest exporter of certified organic cocoa, is a long-time supplier of top-quality cocoa to Barry Callebaut. In addition to meeting the standards of organic certification, Biolands is Fair for Life, Rainforest Alliance and UTZ certified. Barry Callebaut owns 49% of the Biolands Group.
The Rainforest Alliance certification standard includes economic, social and environmental criteria, with an emphasis on environmental issues, including protection of natural resources and the management of chemical inputs. For more information on the Rainforest Alliance's cocoa programs, please see: http://www.rainforest-alliance.org/agriculture/crops/cocoa.
Barry Callebaut:
With annual sales of about CHF 4.8 billion (EUR 4.0 billion / USD 5.2 billion) for fiscal year 2011/12, Zurich-based Barry Callebaut is the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate – from the cocoa bean to the finest chocolate product. Barry Callebaut is present in 30 countries, operates around 45 production facilities and employs a diverse and dedicated workforce of about 6,000 people. Barry Callebaut serves the entire food industry focusing on industrial food manufacturers, artisans and professional users of chocolate (such as chocolatiers, pastry chefs or bakers), the latter with its two global brands Callebaut® and Cacao Barry®. Barry Callebaut is the global leader in cocoa and chocolate innovations and provides a comprehensive range of services in the fields of product development, processing, training and marketing. Cost leadership is another important reason why global as well as local food manufacturers work together with Barry Callebaut. Through its broad range of sustainability initiatives and research activities, the company works with farmers, farmer organizations and other partners to help ensure future supplies of cocoa and improve farmer livelihoods.

Title: | Loew's Grand Theater Fire |
Date: | 1978 Jan. 30 |
Description: | View of a fire in Loew's Grand Theater (also known as the DeGive Opera House) in Atlanta, Georgia. Loew's Grand Theater was built in 1893 as the DeGive Opera House. It came under the management of Marcus Loew's Theater organization in 1916. In 1932, in order to compete with movie theaters, the Grand was renovated by architect Thomas W. Lamb. The one screen theater had 2088 seats. The theater was the site of the movie premiere of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind in 1939. Declining attendance in the 1960's led to its closing in 1977. The abandoned theater caught fire January 30, 1978 and the damage led to the demolition of the historic venue |

Office of the President
"Westminster College is a tremendous force for good in our Promise Programs, and Westminster students and the South Salt Lake youth and families that have participated in this collaboration have greatly benefited," said Wood. "Over the past year, Westminster participants have shown up in force, day after day, to serve in our city. They have planned and implemented new and ingenious ways for Westminster students and faculty to partner in every Promise South Salt Lake afterschool program and every Neighborhood Center." The event recognized the following Westminster members: Dr. Peter Ingle, education professor and future interim dean of Westminster's School of Education; Luciano Marzulli, director of Westminster's Diversity Student Affairs and Support; and Julie Tille, director of the college's Center for Civic Engagement. "There are literally too many amazing programs and services that offer opportunities for practical experience for the Westminster students and that meet the needs of our community to mention," added Wood. Some additional programs include:
"This past year, Westminster has also brought their alumni and collegiate partners and resources to the table, turning strangers into friends that work tirelessly on behalf of our community," said Mayor Wood. "The high-quality academic, interpersonal, and social mentoring and coaching that our students receive is worthy of the highest praise." |

The Kid in the Hall
I'll never forget May 20th and 21st of 2011.
I embarked on a 24-hour journey for an aspect of my job that is never comfortable and always sad: Attending a funeral.
Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew had passed away in Arizona. After lunch with Robin Yount, Paul Molitor and their wives, as well as Bob Nightengale, my friend with USA Today, I headed back to the airport to take a redeye flight home.
As I sat on the flight and drifted off, I wondered what else could happen. Harmon's passing was the last of six Hall of Famers who had passed away in the last year: Robin Roberts, Sparky Anderson, Bob Feller, Duke Snider and Dick Williams.
As I de-boarded my flight in Newark to change planes that next morning, May 21st, my phone began to ring. It was The Kid, and I smiled. I always looked forward to conversations with Gary Carter because he was so positive, so uplifting and had a zest for life.
This time, the call was different.
Gary explained that he had been inventorying equipment with his coaches for Palm Beach Community College, where he was the head baseball coach. He told me he had lost count a few times and even snapped at some of his colleagues, and he did not know why. Very uncharacteristic of the most positive person I had come to know in Baseball.
I immediately thought about what I had been reading, about the recent rash of concussions in football. "I bet you have a concussion from all of those collisions you took," I quickly blurted out, as if I could solve the problem. Gary waited patiently for me to finish and said, "No, it's actually four tumors wrapped around my brain." And then he quickly added, "But I am not scared, because I have my family around me and I am going to beat this."
And that was the essence of Gary Carter.
He fought gallantly with his family by his side, at every step. He went to Duke Medical Center to learn more. It was actually one tumor with four tentacles. And he could not have surgery: His cancer was inoperable.
Gary called the next day.
"It's inoperable, which is going to make this a little bit tougher, but I'll beat this," he told me confidently. "I have my family and my faith and with that, we'll get through this, Jeffrey," he said. "I plan to be at Hall of Fame Weekend to see everyone."
It never happened.
Gary was so generous of time and spirit. He traveled to Cooperstown for the 2010 Hall of Fame Classic over Father's Day Weekend and then to Cooperstown a month later for the induction of Andre Dawson, Doug Harvey and Whitey Herzog. That would be his last visit to the place he adored so much and the Classic was the final time he participated in a baseball game. The fans adored him.
"Gary was so proud to be a Hall of Famer," his widow Sandy told me on the phone yesterday afternoon after letting me know of Gary's peaceful passing.
And "proud" sums up the Kid so well. He was proud of wearing a major league uniform for 19 seasons, of being a Hall of Famer, of his family and his friends.
We lost a good one yesterday. Rest in Peace #8. We miss you.
Jeff Idelson is the president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Well said Jeff. Sad day yesterday for the baseball community. I had the pleasure of meeting him, and some short conversations when he was inducted. A true baseball player, a "kid" at heart. Prayers for his family and friends.
Jeff: There sure seems to be a bad run of losing 3 HOFers in one year who all had connections to the Expos and wore the uniform. Duke Snider (Hitting Coach) Dick Williams (Manager) and now Gary "The Kid" Carter ( Most popular Expos ever ). We are unfortunately losing alumni faster than we are electing and inducting. Continued success to you as President and I look forward to crosssing paths real soon.
Well said my friend…
I remember when I was running the Best Western Cooperstown and Greg Harris brought Gary to the hotel in the winter of 2003 for a tour. I showed Gary around as many of his family and friends would be staying with us that July for his HOF induction. He was not in any hurry to leave as he took time to meet my staff and just converse and get to know us. He was the consummate gentleman. I remember him telling me how honored he was in what was about to be bestowed upon him that summer. That is what I remember about Gary… A very grateful and humble man. Cooperstown and the world has lost a great man!
We're not here for long, and it's a gift when you can say you knew one of the ones who was selfless — more concerned for others than for themselves. Nice tribute, amigo…Pedro in PA
Jeff.I saw you when you came to Baltimore for the Brooks Robinson Honor two years
ago at the Meyerhoff Concert Hall and then when you came for the Brooks Robinson statue unvieling about five months ago. You are doing a fantastic job
representing the Hall of Fame ! Thank you so much for your efforts on behalf of
the Hall. I really appreciate your honest, heartfelt blog about Gary Carter. You are
both the right kind of men. Tom Blazucki

I wanted to like this light; the style is very nice. Unfortunately it is nothing like the photo shows. The glass shade is almost all cream with very little color at all. Returned the item.

Pancreatic cancer is cancer that starts in the pancreas.
Pancreatic cancer; Cancer - pancreas
The pancreas is a large organ behind the stomach. It makes and releases enzymes into the intestines that help the body absorb food, especially fats. The pancreas also makes and releases insulin and glucagon. These are hormones that help the body control blood sugar level.
There are different types of pancreatic cancers. The type depends on the cell the cancer develops in. Examples include:
The exact cause of pancreatic cancer is unknown. It is more common in persons who:
Pancreatic cancer is slightly more common in women than in men. The risk increases with age. Family history of the disease also increases the chance of getting this cancer.
A tumor (cancer) in the pancreas may grow without any symptoms at first. This means the cancer is often advanced when it is first found.
Symptoms of pancreatic cancer include:
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about your symptoms. During the exam, the doctor may feel a lump (mass) in your abdomen.
Blood tests that may be ordered include:
Imaging tests that may be ordered include:
If tests confirm you have pancreatic cancer, more tests will be done to see if the cancer has spread. This is called staging. Staging helps guide treatment and gives you an idea of what to expect.
Treatment depends on the stage of the tumor.
Surgery may be done if the tumor has not spread or has spread very little. Along with surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy or both may be used.
When the tumor has not spread out of the pancreas but cannot be removed, chemotherapy and radiation therapy together may be recommended.
When the tumor has spread (metastasized) to other organs such as the liver, chemotherapy alone is usually used.
With advanced cancer, the goal of treatment is to manage pain and other symptoms. For example, if the tube that carries bile is blocked by the pancreatic tumor, a procedure to place a tiny metal tube (stent) may be done to open the blockage. This can help relieve loss of appetite, jaundice, and itching of the skin.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group . Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Some patients with pancreatic cancer that can be surgically removed are cured. But in most patients the tumor has spread and cannot be completely removed at the time of diagnosis.
Chemotherapy and radiation are often given after surgery to increase the cure rate (this is called adjuvant therapy). For pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed completely with surgery or cancer that has spread beyond the pancreas, a cure is not possible. But chemotherapy can extend one's life.

Classical music concerts, museums and a grand historic building heritage are only part of what cultural Vienna has to offer visitors. For those who think that the Austrian capital is a city that delights for the monuments, think again, a "new" Vienna, full of dynamic and at the forefront of new trends is eager to be (re) discovered.
The city of Mozart, Strauss and Schubert, but also received Beethoven and Brahms, among others, offers a very intense cultural activity, with dozens and dozens of daily events, from the most emblematic performance halls to gardens, across museums and palaces, unique in the world. Masterpiece of the baroque is the Belvedere Palace that hosts numerous international artistic works (Monet, Van Gogh) and Austrian (such as Schiele and Klimt). The magnificent gardens, inspired by Versailles, invite you to a contemplative stroll. Schönbrunn, the former summer palace of the imperial family is another unmissable place, with its zoo, Palm House, various halls and the Coach Museum. In various areas of the palace concerts are regularly organized. In the city center, the Imperial Palace (Hofburg), a fantastic set of buildings comprising seven centuries of architectural styles that currently hosts the Presidency of the Republic, consisting of several museums including the Sissi Museum, dedicated to the famous empress. Other places not to be missed are the National Museum of Fine Arts and the Albertina Museum, one of the world's most important, home to one of the most valuable international graphic collections. On a more modern level, the city presents the Museum Quarter, one of the largest cultural complexes in the world, designed exclusively for different types of contemporary art

World Market® Sea Salt Chocolate Bar, Set of 2
Excellent combination!
I am addicted to this chocolate. Literally addicted. I always have it on hand and treat myself nightly to one square of it, coupled with a glass of red wine or port. The salt has crunch and a wonderful flavor. Sea salt and chocolate are a match made in heaven! The chocolate could stand alone as well. It's a good, dark, flavorful chocolate without bitterness. I put this out at get-togethers and give it as gifts; it's that good!
May 1, 2013
Unique and yummy
If you love dark chocolate, then you'll love this candy. It has a nice rich chocolate taste with the accent of sea salt. Yes, it sounds weird, but try it. it's a great combo of flavors. My favorite!

Glossary |
How should I mike our congregation with PZMs? |
I am responsible for the sound reinforcement system in our church building. My current
project is congregation/house mics. Our auditorium is approximately 50' x 50' with an aisle down the center, The ceiling height is approximately 13 feet. We have a center cluster of speakers in the front (two speakers, one pointed toward each side). We have about 250 seats. What PZM should I use for recording (PZM30D/6D or PZM185), and how many (one only in the center, or one per side). Stereo is not important.
We have an acoustical tile drop ceiling. What is the appropriate mounting technique for whichever mic you suggest? Randy E. Bowman, President Bowman Construction & Design, Inc. Reply: We recommend using one PZM-6D on the ceiling in the center of the congregation. You can mount it with four bolts and nuts, using two washers per bolt. For each bolt, put a washer above the ceiling panel, between the panel and nut. On the bottom of the panel, trap the PZM plate between the panel and the washer that is next to the bolt head. The washers above the panel prevent tearing of the acoustic tile, and the washers touching the PZM plate hold it in place against the ceiling. The PZM-6D is recommended because it is small and light weight, is 19 dB more sensitive than the PZM-185, and has a flatter high-frequency response. As an option, you might want to delay the group mix of the stage mics before mixing them with the audience-mic signal. Set the delay to 20 milliseconds at first, then adjust it up or down until the signals of the stage mics and audience mic coincide in time. You could play a click or metronome through the sound system, and adjust the delay while listening to the stage/audience mix over headphones. |

Veteran's Day 2012
10:15 am in Government by dakine01
I am a Veteran. I served in the United States Air Force from 10 December 1976 to 9 September 1982. After basic training at Lackland AFB in San Antonio TX (yes, I spent Christmas and New Years in basic,) I did technical school for my future career field at Shepherd AFB in Wichita Falls, TX. My Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) was 67251. In English that means I was an Accounting Specialist. I spent 15 months at Wurtsmith AFB, MI paying bills for the commissary. This means I was doing bookkeeping for the on base grocery store. Wurtsmith was a Strategic Air Command (SAC) base with a squadron of B52s and a squadron of KC-135s. My barracks was about 100 yards from the flight line and it got pretty noisy when a squadron of fully loaded B52s and a squadron of fully loaded KC-135s were queued up for take-off.
I went from Wurtsmith to Hickam AFB, HI after two short, cold, rainy summers and one long, cold, snowy winter. When I got to Hickam on 20 September 1978, I was assigned to the commissary accounting section once again. In Michigan, we had been a roughly $500K in revenues commissary while in Hawai'i, we had $2.5M a month in revenues. Yet, even though revenues were 5 times in Hawai'i what they had been in Michigan, the paperwork volume was probably less than a third increased since it was most all of the same vendors or types of groceries, just larger quantities. However, in Hawai'i there were four of us doing the work where in Michigan there had been two of us. When I got to Hawai'i and was told my work assignment, I was also told it was because the section was "behind." When I saw what the definition of "behind" was, I laughed as in Michigan that level of "behind" would have been considered caught up to current day. It also pointed out the difference between the staffing at a "Major Command" base (Hickam was the home of the Headquarters Pacific Air Forces) and a northern tier SAC base. In SAC, the funds went to support the flying mission. As an example, my first calculator in Michigan was an older, hand cranked machine that I literally burned up within a month. And yes, I do mean burned up. I was running a column of figures and the machine did catch on fire. After this, I was given a new calculator. If I remember correctly, it was a Monroe Litton model 2410 and was the newest machine in the office. When I got to Hawai'i, everyone had Monroe Litton model 2420 which all had digital displays.
After 18 months in Hawai'i, I was moved over to the "Accounts Control" office where I was responsible for the accounting database, liaison with the data processing center, and worked with folks in every part of the accounting system from Base Supply to the Consolidated Base Personnel Office. I worked with the Headquarters command Accounting Office and Responsibility Cost Center Managers across the base. In order to be promoted within the USAF beyond the rank of E4 up to the rank of E7, we had to take tests on our knowledge in our career field. The first time I tested for E5, the test had two questions (out of 100) that were directly related to my work with another 10 being peripherally connected. The next time I tested a year later, 75 of the 100 questions were directly related to my work. When I got my results, I was number 3 USAF wide on the promotion list (though I did not get promoted until the end of the cycle since I had less time in grade as an E4 than others).
