Where I stayed
We left our apartment in a timely fashion but were delayed at the train station with some last minute gift buying. Once completed, we boarded the 10 minute train to Maestre. Parking cost more than we expected since midnight was the point at which a new day was calculated rather than 24 hours after entering. Then because we took our time packing the car and reading the maps, we were charged an additional 2€ , understandable but frustrating nonetheless.
The autostrada proved much easier to navigate today since there were very few trucks on the road. I was able to sustain 130-150 km/h. The first leg to Bologna was through flat agricultural land. Then we saw more rolling hills to Firenze and into the heart of Tuscany
Despite forgetting to print the directions to Il Sole del Sods, by hook and by crook we found our way to the abode of Gaia and her sister Caudia. We entered the courtyard and were immediately enchanted by the place. The main part of the buildings house the ladies, the reception, the dining area and some of the guestrooms. The rest of us are housed in what used to be the stables, which are now delightfully renovated into suites. At the end of the property sits the pool, which is wonderfully refreshing on a hot afternoon or evening.
We quickly settled in and sorted out our clothes that needed laundering. Celine and I took the dirty/sweaty garments to the Star Wash launderette (with excellent and inexpensive machines) and spent the early evening washing clothes. During the wash cycle we drove around the town of Camucia looking for a cash machine that would accept our card
Upon returning, we caught a news update on CNN and watched Jon Stewarts Daily Show.

" First off the disclaimer, the Realvoice IEM'S were given to me a month or two back for reviewing. I would like to thank Spider Cable for the review sample and my apologies for taking so long in writing this review.

Umbo Earbud - Best Fitting Ergonomic Earbud for Bluetooth and Other Wireless Headsets.
This new earbud was designed as an ergonomic replacement to the ordinary earbuds that come with most Bluetooth headsets. After trying out countless headsets and having experienced the same annoying discomfort, we were inspired to come up with our own earbud design. This earbud is uniquely formed into a conical-like shape that fits comfortably inside of the ear canal. It is made from a supple,...

What help is available?
- For support using CurricUNET for SLO reporting, visit the HELP Page
- For help designing or updating SLOs, or for help with PSLOs, GELOs and ILOs, please contact an SLO Coordinator.
SLO = Student Learning Outcome
SLOs exist at multiple levels, generally at different levels of
detail. SLOs are learning outcomes that we expect students to receive
after they have completed a class, program, degree, or path of study
at City College. Assessment plans are in place to evaluate our success
in helping student achieve these outcomes.
Although the initial impetus for assessment began with SLOs, all areas of the college, including services, can benefit from setting outcomes they want achieved by their work (outcomes that those they serve will achieve). Thus outcomes assessment (rather than just SLO assessment) is the language we use to describe all levels of our efforts across the college.
Outcomes are developed and assessments take place for the following areas:
- Student Learning Outcomes (for courses, instructional programs, counseling, and workshops)
- Student Service Outcomes (for additional services provided to students, such as transcript procurement, registration, and financial aid)
- Admininstrative Unit Outcomes (for services provided to faculty, staff, vendors, external organizations, etc. to produce an environment of learning for our students)
Often the term SLO will be used as a shorthand for all the outcomes assessment work currently happening at CCSF.
Yes! All CCSF employees are contributing to courses, programs, and/or
services. As such, all employees should be involved with assessment,
discussion of results, formulation of improvements plans, and keeping
records. Each employee's role will vary from minor to major depending
on their level of responsibility within their department or unit.
There definitely needs to be one person or a group of people
coordinating the effort. But everyone should be involved at the level
they are capable. Documents to help: CCSF
SLO Handbook.
ISAOs cover basic outcomes for student achievement including such
thing as transfer rates and degree completion.
ISLOs cover basic outcomes expected for students who completed their educational goals at CCSF. They include things like: think critically, communicate clearly, demonstrate global awareness and appreciation for diversity, and manage personal and career goals.
SLO = student learning outcome
SLOs exist at multiple levels, generally at different levels of detail. The most detailed are the course SLOs (once known as MLOs, or major learning outcomes, in our course outlines). At the next level are program SLOs (PLOs) and general-education SLOs (GEOs).
- PLOs are specific to a discipline, major, or certificate.
- GEOs are specific to an entire area of study to satisfy the CCSF A.A. degree.
- ILOs are student learning outcomes at the highest level and cover study programs throughout the college.
Course Coordinators are individuals who are responsible for gathering
and summarizing efforts of all instructors of the same course,
maintaining records on the course, and completing online reporting
forms for a given course. Course Coordinators would also be
responsible for getting together a group of instructors and
coordinating SLO assessment for a particular course, including
facilitating discussion of assessment data, outcomes, and improvement
- If a course has only one instructor, regardless of the number of sections, that instructor is the course coordinator.
- If a course has multiple sections, instructors need to coordinate efforts for one submission. While there can be multiple course coordinators, the department dhair should designate one instructor who will be in charge of submitting the online reporting form.
- There are a number of different departmental models used for coordinating course SLO efforts. Follow the model that works best for you.
- For more information, click here.
Course SLOs should be published and available publicly on your department's
assessment website. In addition, course SLOs need to be
advertised and conveyed to each student in a course through the class
syllabus. (Although it is recommended you include a list of all SLOs,
you can also include a link to the website where your course SLOs are
According to ACCJC standards, our students should: "demonstrate
awareness of goals and purposes of courses and programs in which they
are enrolled."
All courses offered in a particular semester require an assessment
plan to be developed and an online reporting form to be submitted. It
is not required that there be assessment activities for every course
every semester. However, plans must be developed and a timeline for
assessment must be indicated. The benchmark for the college is that
all AUOs/SLOs are assessed at least once every 3 years.
No, all course instructors do not have to use the same assessments.
However, it is recommended. Using the same SLO assessment tools allows
for a consistent evaluation of SLO achievement by students across
teaching styles. If different instructors will be using different
assessment methods, there should still be coordination of the efforts.
The same SLOs should be assessed by all instructors. Data should be
reviewed and discussed by all instructors of the same course. Plans
for improvement can also be different for each section and instructor.
But all the information -- assessments, data, discussion, and plans --
needs to be collated and entered into the online forms once for each
Use data you gather in your assessment process to inform any
rewriting of course outline student learning outcomes. Be sure these
outlines are updated at a minimum every 6 years.
Program Coordinators are individuals who are "in charge" of
coordinating SLO assessment for a particular program, including
facilitating discussion of assessment data, outcomes, and improvement
plans. The Department Chair should designate program coodinators for
each department program.
Programs are defined as:
- Credit or noncredit certificates,
- Majors, and
- Disciplines that do not otherwise have a certificate or major
For example:
- Dental Assisting has two programs: the major and the certificate
- Music has one program: the Music program
- Behavioral Sciences has three programs: the Anthropology
Discipline, the Psychology major, and the Intro to Human Services
Certificate (covering Sociology)
Please note that this expansive definition of "program" is for the purposes of our SLO processes and will not impact other processes, such as program review.
Mapping is a tool of curriculum alignment. For example, mapping courses to program SLOs ensures that the program outcomes are aligned with the courses in that program. Mappings for all Instructional Programs were completed in Fall 2012 and must be updated through the Curriculum Committee when programs are updated or newly created.
Once we are in ongoing cycles of SLO assessment, each semester, you will need to submit reporting forms as follows:
- Course Assessment Review and Tentative Plans (submitted by end of each semester by Course Coordinator on behalf of all faculty who teach the course)
- Program Assessment Review and Tentative Plans (submitted by end of each semester by Program Coordinator on behalf of the department)
After you choose SUBMIT, as long as you keep your browser window
open, you can go back and change your answers by choosing the
"edit submission" link. Also, since a password is now
required, and you login with your CCSFMail (Google) account (@mail.ccsf.edu), you
will get a copy of your entry through email. You can follow the link
in that email to return to your entry at any time and edit it again.
Also, as with past versions of the form the most recent submission of
a given course or service area is the one that will appear in the
online data review.
The online reporting forms that are due to be completed by end of each semester are snapshots of an ongoing process that you will be documenting and tracking through your own templates and notebooks and files and website. The online reporting forms will be completed once a semester and will capture wherever you are in the process and in no way require you to be at one particular place. They should be low stress. Here's what these online reporting forms will require once a semester, at the start of the semester:
- Review of activities completed during the previous semester (such as assessments and/or analysis and/or changes made)
- Tentative plans for activities for the upcoming semester (such as data review/analysis and/or implementing changes and/or assessment)
Transition from Matrix to Assessment and Review Plan
Student Development completed a 13-item matrix in Fall semester. Recorded within the matrix were such items as the process used to both measure and assess SLOs, changes to make as a result of findings, and the timeline to implement revisions and modifications. To continue this process in Spring 2013, both Student Services and Instruction will transition data gathered on matrices to the Assessment and Review Plan (online reporting form) displayed on this webpage. Listed below are steps to follow to consolidate data gathered on the matrixes in Fall 2012 into plans for Spring 2013. The glossary below will compare terminology used on the matrix with terms now used within the Assessment and Review Plan:
Matrix Terminology (Fall 2012) vs Assessment and Review Plan (Spring 2013)
- Fall 2012 SLO = type of Outcome (generic term used to
be inclusive of service outcomes + SLOs)
- Fall 2012
Measure = Assessment Method (what, how, who, when, where)+
Criteria (expected achievement, individuals included)
- Fall 2012 Assess = Analysis (results, key findings,
conclusion) -- Taking the results of the assessment, now review and
analyze the findings and come to conclusions about what works well
and what doesn't.
- Fall 2012 Matrix = Template
-- A guide to assist you in collating outcomes-assessment data and
results and setting future plans. The template is your
record-keeping document and can be presented online through your
assessment website. Summaries of these data will be entered through
an online reporting form once per semester.
- Fall
2012 Changes = Action -- Revisions you plan to make to your
service, course, or workshop.
- Fall 2012 Timelines =
Re-evaluation date -- Closing the loop -- when will you go
back to the beginning

Raising bulldogs is a total hands on experience. One thing to remember with bulldogs, and especially so with newborn puppies, there is no "always" or "never". It is important to have a good mentor/breeder and vet to work with, because there are so many things that can come up. Anyone that says they have never had a particular problem just hasn't been around long enough. The longer you have been in the dogs, and the more litters you have, you are always learning something new and different. That is part of the benefits of belonging to a club and knowing other Bulldoggers. What might work for one might not work for another, but this is how you learn.
The most critical period of a dog's life is during the first week. The early care and environment of the newborn puppy are of the utmost importance. Early causes of death can usually be attributed to difficult whelping, congenital or genetic defects, environmental factors (i.e., too cool or drafty), carelessness of the dam, infection, viruses, toxic milk or insufficient nourishment.
Things to always keep on hand in case of an emergency: a box of Amoxi-Drops (a broad spectrum antibiotic that needs to be reconstituted with water), anti-biotic ointment, anti-diarrhea medication (such as Biosol, Kaolin-Pectin, or Neo-Pectilin), thermometer, Vaseline, and Karo syrup or honey, tube feeding kit (#10 feeding tube, with 10cc feeding syringe), and several cans of puppy formula, such as Esbilac (even though I prefer a homemade formula for normal supplementation, many times during an emergency there isn't enough time to mix formula). It is very important that a puppy get its mothers milk if at all possible during the first 5 days to protect it from infection and give it antibodies from the mothers milk
The following is a listing of things you need, or that might help, with a litter of puppies. This is especially useful for first-timers. Just remember, this doesn't cover everything that can come up. That is what a phone and a network of friends are for. And, if you hear of or come across another hint, please share it with others.

The vivacious Carrie Nelson is back with us on the Jolly Jabber to jabber about her newest Schnibbles patterns for Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.! They are so awesome, they made our kit list. And WOOHOO--post a comment on this entry and you'll be entered to win a Dow Jones Quilt Kit (that would be the quilt you see to the left right there)! Winner will be announced on Wednesday, *1/20!
Happy New Year, Jolly Jabberettes!
Can you believe it's already the middle of January? Yikes! I think this means I'm already behind schedule for Spring Market… especially since I just finished packing and shipping the new Fall patterns! At least the new Schnibbles are done!
I have to tell you about how the Schnibbles came into being because you know the lady responsible, Moda Lissa. Until I started doing these about two years ago, I had only made three or four small quilts. And two of those were small because I ran out of fabric and couldn't make it bigger! But I kept getting pestered by someone to make something with charm packs. (I know you all think she's a very nice lady, but really, she's kind of a pest about things.) Anyway, she kept asking if I was going to make something with charm packs. She even suggested re-doing one of my larger quilts with charm squares which didn't make any sense at all.
I mean, really, that would take 10 or 12 charm packs… fat quarters would be so much more efficient. Thinking small wasn't part of my mind-set yet, but since I really wanted to get Lissa to stop mentioning it, I started racking my brain to come up with ideas for charm square quilts. A few days – and a couple of stripped gears – later, I sat down to make two quilts. Two. T-W-O. A week later, I had made six quilts and I couldn't stop. After making two more quilts, I had to put my new playthings away! Don't tell anyone – especially you-know-who – but these little quilts have become my favorite things to make.
These new Schnibbles are some of my favorites as all eight of the patterns will work with any charm pack! I would love to make Open Season with Twiggy, Nouveau or Love is in the Air. And I almost made State Fair using Fig & Plum, and Dow Jones was almost a Gypsy (Rose).
As for what's going on in my workroom, I'm finally cutting up my Aviary fabric! I had an idea for this fabric as soon as I saw it, then I changed my mind… a couple of times. It was the dark pink fabric that kept messing me up. I love it but I want the rest to be scrappy and random and pretty and soft and not too fussy looking. After figuring what I needed for everything, I made some cutting notes for the prints and I should be able to finish cutting this out by next week. I've made my cutting notes for the prints and I made these this morning…I'm also pulling fabric for a scrap quilt that will be a pattern for Spring Market… if I like the way it turns out, of course. The pink fabric at the top is from Civil War Crossings and will be the background ~ I'm using 12-gazillion yards of it for my quilt. Okay, not really, I think I'm going to need 5 ¼ yards. Everything else is a "dark" and those are going to be scraps – lots and lots of scraps. The fabrics in the picture are some of what will go in the quilt. I need 2" wide strips, so I'll cut at least 1 strip from each of these fabrics.And just the other day, I ordered these Bella Solids from the Fat Quarter Shop for a new quilt. A very long time ago, when I was first starting to quilt, I made several quilts using all solid fabrics and I've been itching to do one again. The only piece missing is the red border. What do you think so far?
Rosie sends wags and sloppy kisses!

Carrie, I can relate to the contagion of making these quilts. After my first jelly roll, I couldn't stop. I have a pile on quilt tops now all ready to be quilted. And because one roll is so good, now I usually buy two so I can make the quilt even larger!

I've never heard of Schnibbles patterns before. How fun! The stack of Bella Solids looks really yummy, too!

I love the humour in the Dow Jones quilt. What fun to make, and winning would mean no selling of shares to buy fabric! ;)
I like what you are doing with the charm squares, too. I love them, and jelly rolls better than FQs.

Carrie mentioned almost doing Dow Jones with Gypsy Rose. I love that collection and think it would have been awesome. But using Tradition for the kit is great because it will help children through UNICEF. Carrie's story has inspired me to pull out some charm packs and start something new!

WOW!! Glad to know that others are as addicted to charm pack quilts as I am. I buy stacks of charms having no clue what they will eventually turn into. So hard to stop once the wheels start turning...cranked out six projects in two weeks with charms!! Dow Jones looks like a fun project to tackle...thanks for the inspiration to keep stichin'!

OH I LOVE MISS ROSIE and now I've got a new love!! SCHNIBBLES. I have tall family - I'm the only Smurf (as my hubby calls me) so I need patterns that I can make in all sizes AND that come together easy. I've shied away from Charm packs because I just wasn't sure how to handle them.

Schnibbles are great! They give me the excuse (do I really need one?)to buy more fabric, but now I can buy all the lines I like for quilts but in smaller less expensive quantities. What could be better? Dow Jones is one if the few Scnibbles I don't already own.

Oh!!! Once again, gotta love those Schnibbles. They make we want to sew and sew and sew, then just wrap up and try to stay warm in our freezing Utah weather. Carrie, you know me as Nancy from your blog, don't know how I ended up as Jo (my nickname for 58 years)...must have had a senior moment. Think how theraputic working on a Schibbles quilt would be to overcome those senior moments *ahem*. Ah well, good luck to everyone on the giveaway. By the way, the Bella solids look like a beautiful rainbow. Give Miss Rosie a scratch behind the ear as thanks for the sloppy kisses too.

The Kelpies - Installation at Bryant Park
March 21, 2014 – April 22, 2014
Fountain Terrace
Two 15-foot-high steel models of the largest equine sculptures in the world will be unveiled in Bryant Park on Friday, March 21 as part of the launch of Scotland Week in New York City. The larger-than-life installation, known as The Kelpies, are created by Scotland's leading public artist Andy Scott.
The Kelpies are the original 1:10 scale design models of Andy's 100-foot-tall sculptures located in the heart of the new 900 acre Helix Parkland in Falkirk, central Scotland.
With one horse rearing up and the other at rest, a dramatic sense of motion is created. The sculptures are made from hundreds of small pieces of steel plate painstakingly welded to create the forms. The Kelpies were then galvanized, a process that involves dipping the sculptures in baths of molten zinc. The full scale sculptures are now among the largest equine artworks in the world. Take a look at the time lapse video to get a sense of the monumental effort it takes to pull together these two art pieces.
For more information, please visit http://www.thekelpies.co.uk/ and check out our Kelpies post on the Bryant Park Blog.

Iran Successfully Sends Monkey on Sub-Orbital Flight

The monkey that was sent into space today
(Source: s2.jrnl.ie)
A monkey was launched in a capsule called Pishgam (Pioneer)
Iran said it successfully sent a monkey into sub-orbital flight today, which is only the first step in its space plans
toward a manned mission in 2020
According to Iran Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi, a monkey was launched in a capsule called Pishgam (Pioneer) to an altitude of 75 miles. The monkey returned safely and the capsule was intact.
"This success is the first step towards man conquering the space and it paves the way for other moves," said Vahidi. "Today's successful launch follows previous successes we had in launching (space) probes with other living creatures (on board). The monkey, which was sent in this launch, landed safely and alive and this is a big step for our experts and scientists."
The Islamic republic has sent other animals into space, such as worms, rats and turtles, but this is the first time a monkey was sent successfully on a sub-orbital flight. An attempt was made with a monkey in 2011, but the mission failed for reasons unknown.
However, it successfully sent three satellites into orbit, including Omid in 2009, Rassad in 2011 and Navid in 2012.
Iran hopes to send a human to space in 2020.
This will likely make Western nations nervous, as they've accused Iran of secretly developing ballistic missiles. The same technology used for the rockets can be used for ballistic missiles.
In July of last year,
China completed its first manned space docking
using the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft and the Tiangong 1 space module. It launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gansu province in northern China.
"Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine." -- Bill Gates

Japan GDP Decline Strengthens Abe's Case for Stimulus: EconomyKeiko Ujikane
Japan's economy unexpectedly shrank last quarter as falling exports and a business investment slump outweighed improved consumption, bolstering Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's case for more monetary stimulus to end deflation.
Gross domestic product contracted an annualized 0.4 percent, following a revised 3.8 percent fall in the previous quarter, the Cabinet Office said in Tokyo today. The median forecast of 32 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was for 0.4 percent growth. Nominal GDP shrank 0.4 percent on quarter.
The prolonging of Japan's recession into a third quarter shows that benefits from a weaker yen and rising stocks have yet to be felt. The lower house of parliament passed Abe's fiscal stimulus package today, while Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa and his colleagues raised their assessment for the economy and left monetary policy unchanged.
"These are pre-Abe numbers," said Takuji Okubo, chief economist at Japan Macro Advisors who formerly worked at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. "He was only prime minister for about the last week of the quarter. We will see a fairly big pick up this year, led by exports recovering on the weaker yen."
The yen snapped a two-day advance today after Kazumasa Iwata, a former BOJ deputy governor who is a possible candidate to replace Shirakawa, said in a statement ahead of a meeting with ruling party lawmakers that a level around 90-100 per dollar would be a return to equilibrium. The currency was 0.1 percent weaker at 93.52 as of 4:34 p.m. in Tokyo, while the Nikkei 225 Stock Average closed up 0.5 percent.
Korean Concern
South Korea's finance minister said last month that his nation's exporters may be "at risk" from Japanese policies as Abe prepares to nominate a new leadership team at the BOJ that's forecast to deploy greater stimulus. In the latest expression of concern, the Bank of Korea said today that the "expansionary" stance of the new Japanese government is among risks for South Korea's economy. The BOK kept interest rates on hold today.
Shirakawa told reporters today that, while monetary policy has a "certain effect" on currencies, it is aimed at domestic economic stability rather than foreign exchange rates.
Japanese exports fell for seven months through December as Europe's crisis dragged on shipments and a dispute with China over islands claimed by both nations hurts demand for products such as Toyota Motor Corp.'s cars. Net exports contributed 0.2 percentage point to the contraction, today's report showed.
A 0.4 percent on-quarter rise in private consumption, which accounts for more than half of GDP, was not enough to avert a contraction even as colder-than-usual weather spurred sales of winter clothing and other items.
Domestic same-store sales at Uniqlo, Japan's largest clothing retailer, rose 13.7 percent in November and 4.5 percent in December.
Investment Falls
Business investment fell 2.6 percent from the previous quarter, the fourth consecutive drop in capital spending, even as some companies said their earnings outlook is improving due to the weaker yen.
Panasonic Corp., Japan's second-biggest television maker, reported an unexpected profit for the quarter. Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., the maker of Subaru cars, last week raised its profit forecast for the fiscal year that ends in March by 13 percent, while Nintendo Co. on Jan. 30 doubled its annual net income forecast for the same period.
Investors' expectations for more monetary stimulus have pushed the Nikkei up by about 30 percent in the past three months, while the yen has fallen almost 15 percent against the dollar in the same period.
Goldman last month raised its GDP forecast for the fiscal year starting in April to 2 percent from 1.2 percent, citing the weaker yen, fiscal stimulus and anticipated monetary easing. The median average of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News is for 1.6 annualized growth this quarter.
Inflation Target
The BOJ last month set a 2 percent inflation target with no deadline and said it would start open-ended asset purchases in 2014. The central bank's board today kept its asset-purchase program at 76 trillion yen ($813 billion). Shirakawa and his two deputies step down on March 19.
"There's a high chance the BOJ will apply more monetary easing," in coming months, said Kyohei Morita, chief economist at Barclays Plc in Tokyo. He sees the central bank taking action in April or May after the selection of a new governor.
Additional easing could be justified for 2013, Haruhiko Kuroda, the head of the Asian Development Bank and another potential contender to replace Shirakawa, said in an interview on Feb. 11. The central bank could usher in a growth spurt unseen in a generation by stepping up stimulus and ending deflation, he said.
Asia's Economy
Elsewhere in Asia, New Zealand's manufacturing industry expanded at the fastest pace since May in January while consumer confidence in February surged to the highest in more than two and a half years.
Indian inflation slowed to a more than three-year low in January, a deceleration that if sustained may boost room for another interest-rate cut as growth falters.
In Europe, Germany's economy shrank more than economists forecast in the fourth quarter as exports declined, while the French economy also contracted. GDP figures for the euro region are due later in the day.
In the U.S., initial jobless claims probably declined in the week ended Feb. 9, a survey showed before a report due today.
Japanese Economy Minister Akira Amari said last month that the effects of the government's 10.3 trillion yen stimulus package announced on Jan. 11 would begin to appear in April.
The economy "remains weak," Amari said in a statement released with today's GDP figures. "The economy will return to a gradual recovery through the BOJ's monetary easing, fiscal stimulus and an expected improvement in the global economy."
Japan's annualized GDP fell a revised 1 percent in the second quarter of last year, from an previous estimate of a 0.1 percent contraction, today's data showed, confirming that the economy shrank for three straight quarters.

Ehrenreich to speak on women, work and poverty, March 5
Posted March 1, 2002; 11:48 a.m.
author and social critic Barbara Ehrenreich will speak on "Women and Work in Post-Welfare America" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 5, in 101 McCormick Hall.
Ehrenreich is the author of "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America" (2001), a spirited and sobering examination of the difficulty of surviving on poverty-level wages in the late 1990s. For this study, Ehrenreich went undercover, working as a waitress, a hotel maid, a cleaning woman, a nursing-home aide and a Wal-Mart sales clerk. In her lecture, Ehrenreich will expand upon the subject of women, work and poverty in the context of welfare "reform" and a weakening economy.
Ehrenreich has been a contributing writer for Time magazine since 1990. Her articles, reviews, essays and humor pieces have appeared in a range of national publications, including The New York Times Magazine, Ms., Esquire and The New Republic.
The Meredith Miller Memorial Lecture is sponsored by the Program in the Study of Women and Gender along with the Center for the Study of Child Wellbeing and the Women's Center .

'Crisis Response' link removed from University's home page
Posted January 29, 2002; 12:58 a.m.

Savor slow-cooked Italian soup with little effort by letting your slow cooker do all the work! This is one hearty soup recipe the whole family will love.
(Total time will vary with appliance and setting.)
Minestrone means "big soup", and this big soup needs only thick slices of a whole-grain bread to make a big meal.
Kids will love the little corkscrew rotini pasta in this vegetable-packed soup, but any small pasta works just as well.

Obligatory statement: It has been a while since my last diary entry.
We are dangerously close to releasing 0.5.1-Stable. I did some one line Perl chicanery to parse the CVS logs and make a changefile. Basically this needs to be released so we can start in on the fun stuff. v0.6 has a totally new block fetcher that is far superior and it will use distutils. If those two major advantages don't turn you on then how about Zooko's new hack that will allow people to hide their IP behind a relay. In theory this gives you the same anonymity you get using something like anonimizer. (In truth this is not true because the MetaTracking system we use, but it is a pretty good start.) As for me, I am re-working the bootpage loader code, not very sexy, but it will help me get a better feel for EGTP, Mnet, and the MetaTracker system.
I also took a look at khashmir which is a distributed hash table library of the Kademlia flavor implemented in Python (Definition stolen from SF page.) It looks like Drue, its creator, is going to port it to Twisted reactor async io core. If this works out then, like EGTP, it should be able to route past Firewalls and NAT's using relays in a dynamic fashion. That is pretty dope. Its big advantage is that it is completely decentralized, unlike EGTP which uses a semi-centralized MetaTracker system.
Not much to tell really. It looks like Lock, my friend who works at Dell, has tracked us down a 1u server. I believe it will get shipped out to England some time next week. Woot!
So I am flying off to Boston again on Tuesday, this time sign the contracts making me part of the working world again. Though I am really looking forward to starting to work again, not to mention being paid, I will miss having unlimited time to code my own projects.

Hoping for fishing opener
Glen Belgum of the Nisswa Guide Service thinks the 2013 walleye and northern pike fishing opener could be one for the books.
"This is just one of those rare years (that) we're going to look back and say, 'Remember 2013?'" Belgum said of the Saturday, May 11, fishing opener.
Belgum had a fisherman booked for opener, whom he planned to take fishing on the south side of Gull Lake. The fisherman canceled, though, because of the thick sheet of ice that's only beginning to pull away from shore.
The ice was less than 10 feet from shore at Grand View Lodge on Monday, May 6, said the lodge's marketing director Frank Soukup.
Belgum said he and other fishermen will look to the Mississippi River for fishing this opener. The river is open.
"Most people don't want to fish the river, but this year is an extreme year and we're just going to have to go where there's open water," Belgum said.
On the other hand, he believes some fishermen may just wait until the ice is out.
Belgum's concern isn't just the ice — it's also bait.
"A lake shiner is what people want to use for opening first two to three weeks for walleye," he said. But if the lakes are iced over, the bait trappers can't get to the bait. Even if the lakes open, he said, the shiners only come into the shallows where they're trapped if the water's the right temperature.
Sgt. Scott Goddard, Crow Wing County water patrol, is also worried about the water temperature, but not because of bait. He's not sure that water temperatures on many lakes will break 40 degrees, which raises the risk for hypothermia.
Goddard said some lakes that appear to be open could still have floating chunks of ice, which pose a hazard to boaters, especially those boating at night.
A further hazard to boaters is the lack of buoys and hazard markers on the lakes. They haven't been placed yet, so boaters will need to use extra caution on lakes that are open.
The Cass County Sheriff's Department reminds anglers that no ice should be considered safe ice, and they should consider other modes of transportation than motorized vehicles on ice.
The sheriff's office has responded to several complaints of ATVs, snowmobiles and utility vehicles through the ice, the department stated, noting none of the incidents resulted in injury.
They also advise anyone who does choose to travel on the ice to carry a cell phone, not travel on the ice after dark and let someone know where you are going and when you'll be back.
Resorters are also feeling the chill of this year's fishing opener. Lynn Scharenbroich, an owner of Black Pine Beach Resort in Ideal Township, said Monday that some of her water lines are still covered in snowdrifts. She said ice on the Whitefish Chain is just starting to pull away from the shore.
"You couldn't even get a toy boat in there," she said.
Scharenbroich said that while spring demand for her resort is down this year, she's had no cancellations. Many of her customers are repeats who come every year.
Bret Jevning, owner of Cozy Bay Resort on Lake Edward, had similar comments. Most of his guests are groups that come year after year and have developed a tradition, and most of them are still coming.
Jevning said the ice on Edward is still thick, and there were 22 inches on Friday, May 3.
Larger resorts, including Grand View Lodge in Nisswa and Breezy Point Resort, reported no cancellations, saying their customers will generally go golfing in absence of fishing. Cragun's is optimistic Steamboat Bay on Gull Lake will be open.
Fishermen are getting boats on the water in some areas, including the channels at Bar Harbor, Zorbaz and Ernie's on Gull Lake, said Sherree Wicktor, owner of S&W Bait south of Nisswa.
Wicktor believes Gull Lake won't be open by Saturday, but thought Round Lake would be ice-free by Wednesday, May 8.
By comparison, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reports that the ice was out on Gull and Lake Edward on March 26, 2012, and the ice went out on Pelican Lake on March 27 last year.
Scharenbroich said anglers simply may not be able to fish their favorite spots on opener this year.
"It might be one of those (years) that just gets talked about forever. It's got a little personality of its own. Maybe it will go down in history as one of the more interesting openers," she said.

Each player will be subjected to a vast amount of information to process in a short time. Learning from the coaches, learning the system, learning their way around the team facilities, and learning the way their new team practices. There is new terminology to learn and every drill a little more taxing. They WILL have a chance to learn about the new city they work in later, and once they're surrounded by veterans, they will be learning from them--if they pay attention.
Rookie Mini-Camps ease the transition to the NFL by allowing rookies to get all of the repetitions and learn the scheme, playbook, and practice format and drills, before the veterans arrive. It allows the coaches to better evaluate the players in an element separate from the veterans. Especially how quickly they are able to process all the information they are being fed.
Don't believe the hype. Despite not wearing pads, the players do get physical at mini-camp. The coaches will tell the rookies they want them to protect each other on the field and to be smart about their tempo during practice. There will be signs up in the locker room that recite the purpose of mini-camp practices and mention the level of intensity should be conducive to learning and not a situation where it becomes a physical contest between two players.
Though players only wear helmets and do not have on pads, mini-camp is most definitely a competitive endeavor that is being fully evaluated by the coaching staff. Defensive linemen try to physically beat their counterparts along the offensive line. Offensive linemen try to get off the ball and create a push in the running game. If drills weren't being evaluated, NFL Teams would not hold mini-camps to gauge the talent on their rosters.
Despite the fact that no pads are involved, mini-camp is very physical, and the sooner a rookie realizes that, the better. Invariably, one side of the ball increases the tempo as a result of the feeling that the other side is going too hard, and the intensity escalates. Scuffles don't happen unless guys are competing physically against one another.
The coaches want to see the effort that the players put forth and want to see a rookie going full speed, even if they have made a mistake.
We've all heard that saying, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression," and that's a very appropriate term in the NFL. Even though most coaches and scouts have some preconceived notion of the players they've selected before they set foot on the field, mini-camps are the first time the players have an opportunity to either confirm or dispel those beliefs.
Everything a rookie does once he arrives is evaluated. Teams want to know how important football is to a player and how he will act now that he has gotten to the NFL. Who is the first player to arrive in the morning? What players stay after practice to work on the new techniques they are being taught? Which players look like they are treating this as a profession and are hungry to thrive? Which players are picking up the new offense or defense schemes the quickest?
One of the most difficult adjustments for any rookie, and even more so for a player from a lower level, is the increased size and speed of the players around them. For most rookies, mini-camp is the first time in their lives they aren't head and shoulders above everyone on the field. Some rookies have a tough time coming to grips with that fact and are unable to adjust to no longer being the best athlete on the field.

Good job.

The fiscal cliff deal is a failure under three different economic theories
From the Keynesian perspective held by many Democrats, it won't stop a 2 percent jump in payroll taxes, which will sap almost as much consumer demand as extending middle-class tax cuts will preserve. Brad DeLong, a University of California at Berkeley economist who advised President Bill Clinton, calculated on Tuesday that the agreement would drain nearly 2 percentage points from gross domestic product growth this year.
The deal answers one major uncertainty question — what will marginal tax rates be? — for investors and business executives. But it also sets up several new policy showdowns in the coming year, outcomes uncertain, starting with an immediate fight over raising the national debt limit. A similar fight in 2011 triggered a spike in a policy uncertainty index compiled by economists at Stanford University and the University of Chicago…
The deal also works against the "cut-and-grow" theory advocated by many congressional Republicans, who say reducing spending and debt will unleash new investment. The deal raises taxes, prolongs higher deficits than most alternative scenarios and includes no changes to safety-net spending programs such as Medicare and Social Security.

Spokane man continues fight against brain cancer
SPOKANE, Wash. - A Spokane man battling brain cancer now needs help to enroll in a clinical trial that could save his life.
Joey Cawyer was first diagnosed with brain cancer 2 1/2 years ago, at just 19-years old. Since the diagnoses, Cawyer been through endless chemotherapy and radiation treatments- doctor's aren't sure how much more his body can take.
In the past few months, Joey's mom, Cindy Anderson, said his health has been quickly declining.Spokane man continues fight against brain cancer
"He's just having a hard time articulating his words, he's got vision problems in one eye, his eye, his right eye is kind of wandering," Cindy Anderson said.
Anderson believes a clinical trial involving a stem cell transplant may be their last hope at beating the deadly disease.
"With doing the procedure in mice it has stalled the disease, stalled the cancer," Anderson said.
The trial will take place at City of Hope Cancer Research Hospital outside of Los Angeles, CA.
But, before they enroll Anderson said they need at least $2,000 to cover a few medical and travel expenses. Once enrolled, the trial pays for almost all the care Joey will receive. Anderson hopes to be in California by next week.
"So I have to do what I have to do," Anderson said.
"I think any mom would. It's just what you do. You know from the minute they are born that is your mission; you take care of them. Good or bad I will try everything possible," she said.

Thanks to sebillba for the trade!
Leftover spaggetti and meatballs.
Made the meatballs myself. My sister taught me how to make one-a-tasty-meatball.
Instead of using hamburger (yuck) you get:
Ground turkey
Ground turkey sausage (Walmart sells these both cheap by the roll)
Italian seasoning
Onion powder
Garlic powder
1/2 pack of crackers (pulverized) or breadcrumbs
Combine (i like to use a big spoon cause it's gross to the touch)
Scoop out with ice cream scooper into hot pan of olive oil (you still don't have to touch it)
They are unbelievably good, even better than Subway's sub meatballs, but similar in texture, no hamburger grissle (yuk) but you can brown them better than Subway's.
The spaggetti part..uh just Prego and noodles. I'm not that skilled yet to make sauce from scratch, and why bother.
Don't forget the parmesean shake cheeze.

Something's underfoot preventing the smooth sailing of the receipt of materiel for a proper celebration! I will wipe out the obstacles! All of them!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
When I have spaghetti, I just use Hunt's canned spaghetti sauce (traditional, meat, or four cheese varieties). One time I finished up a can and didn't want to open a new one, so I added a bit of ketchup and BBQ sauce. Gave it a different taste that I kind of liked, so I've done that a few times since then.
We ordered Thai food for lunch in our department today for a co-worker's birthday. I had already brought my lunch (peanut butter & pickle sandwich), but I ordered anyway and decided to bring it home for dinner and eat the sandwich for lunch. So, I'll be having chicken fried rice for dinner.
A good basic sauce would be tomato paste or sauce, diced tomatoes, red wine, and seasonings (salt, black pepper, oregano, fennel, and basil) to taste. I'd probably add sausage in it, but in your case, it might be overkill.
That's my jacket!
My mom always used hamburger, though I think she mainly uses turkey burger now. I've always thought it was kind of funny to see some sauces referred to as meat sauce when I could hardly see any meat in it.
No lunch today or yesterday. Dunno why.....but I sure made up for it at dinner!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
skeleton crew at work yesterday... 4 of us ordered sub sandwiches... i had a club with turkey, ham & bacon on wheat. don't have a clue what i'm having today... didn't get moving in time to make lunch for today.

Thanks to sebillba for the trade!
Sunday, I took my sister to Jack in the Box, where I had a steak pita snack - very good, value is better than I expected, but it's messy as hell to eat.
Yesterday, I didn't have lunch, I grabbed Panda Express for early dinner since I was paying a bill next door, and hungry. I added hot & sour soup to my order, they weren't lying, that stuff is served nearly boiling and stays that way for quite a while.
Today, it was roasted garlic chicken pizza.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Last night, went to Souplantation (it's Potato Month in February! ) and had just too much. I know it's not what'd I have "for lunch today," but I kept thinking about it at lunch today (which was ham & turkey on wheat with a non-dancing banana).
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

I recently had an opportunity to develop a project in Python. I have previously had a largely neutral opinion about this language. However after more serious development I would like to share some doubts.
I will not be talking about the implementation - related issues. Also, Python do has positive, advanced features that are worth noting. Python code for the same task is really shorter: you need more C or even Java code to write something like a = b[:3], and especially b[-1] looks nicer then b.get(b.size()-1). But when line number rolls over the first thousand, more things began to matter.

TUPELO – More wheels, more engines, more horse power – this year's Blue Suede Cruise is shaping up to be the biggest ever.
"We've had 406 pre-register – that's the most we've ever had," said Allen McDaniel, curator of the Tupelo Automobile Museum and director of the Blue Suede Cruise. "We've picked up a lot of people in other areas who've never been to Blue Suede Cruise. It's very encouraging."
McDaniel expects to see about 800 classic cars out at the BancorpSouth Arena for this year's festival.
The events kick off tonight with a drive-in movie at the Tupelo Automobile Museum.
"If we have any Natalie Wood or Tony Curtis fans, they can come see the movie," McDaniel said.
The site opens at 10 a.m. Friday, 9 a.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. Sunday.
The Blue Suede Cruise parade is set for 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
Folks can check out classic cars and enjoy music by The Gents and the Van-Dells on Friday, and The Bouffants and the Van-Dells on Saturday. There will be gospel music on Sunday. Lawn chairs are welcome.
There will also be food and a poker run. Cruisers can visit Tupelo hot spots like the Elvis Presley Birthplace and the Oren Dunn Museum to win cash prizes at the end of the festival.
"If you want a weekend of food, fun, fellowship and back to the '50s, and for free, this is the weekend for it," McDaniel said.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Okay, when I first learned of Disney buying Lucasfilm, I was excited. Then there came the news of JJ Abrams directing and I was cautiously optimistic. Yesterday's news had me slightly worried. Now I'm just getting scared.
I think this could be really good. I mean look what they have done with Avengers and the individual movies that go along with it. Can't wait to see Iron Man 3.
As far as I know, the whole plan of the Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Captain America movies all leading up to an Avengers movie existed before Disney purchased Marvel in 2009. Which makes sense because Iron Man and Incredible Hulk were both released in 2008.
So, technically, Disney doesn't really deserve the credit, or the blame, for that.

In the PTC Media Forums the subject of Den Chiefs came up. There were some questions from a Cub Scout leader that was looking to have a Den Chief for her Den in the coming year.
Here is my response:
From a Scoutmasters perspective, Den Chiefs are a fantastic asset to your unit.
Having said that.. lets focus on the Scout (s).
The Den Chief position is a great way for a young man to develop leadership. It is a great way for him to develop self esteem and better yet, it is a better way for him to hone his Scout Craft. Teaching knots, building fires, showing how to pack a pack and what to take, how to cook and clean and live the Scout oath and Law.
Now some of you may think this is fantasy.. and it is IF…. YOU FAIL TO TRAIN THE DEN CHIEF.
I have two young men in my Troop this year that are in Den Chief positions. They both are doing a great job within the Dens that they are assigned. One of them has been with the same den for two years now… He started with them as First year Webelos and is assisting with their Second year Webelos year.
The other is assigned to a Bear Den.
Both of these young men… like previous Den Chiefs attend the official Den Chief training.. and then they attend Scoutmaster Jerry's Den Chief training. They are constantly being coached throughout the year as well as kept tabs on in conferences as well as feedback from the Den Leader.
The role of the Den Chief is an important one. They are the link between Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. They are role Models and your best recruiters.
Do you have to pick the cream of the crop? NO.. Leaders are not born.. they are made. So let any of your Scouts try this out. Some may need more coaching than others.
Another bit of free advice… Scoutmasters.. help the Den Leaders out. Go to their meetings and get to know them. Find out what their needs are and then teach your den Chief the specifics.
Den Chief is not a substitute Den Leader.. he is a boy that is there to help and he can be when given specific tasks and goals.
I highly encourage an active Den Chief program within Packs and Troops.
Oh yeah.. did I mention recruiter. I have found that a good Den Chief is your best recruiter. Not only for the Cub Scouts.. but more important.. their parents. When they see this young man doing his best, being a good role model and teacher.. they will flock to your unit.
The Den Chief position is not and should not be used as a "Filler for rank" job. This takes away from the program and destroys the relationship between Packs and Troops.
I may have to do a whole show in this too.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

In his post-game conference today Marshall threw another frustrated hissy fit of sorts. This is a guy that can only function in an organization that wins consistently. The second things go bad he tends to explode and I think that torpedoes the rest of the team, as he is beginning to do in Chicago. Getting rid of him was the right choice.
However, not replacing him was a poor choice.

Bake the cake portion of the recipe and cool it completely. Wrap it tightly and freeze. One day before seving, defrost the cake, make and add the topping, and make the sauce; store in refrigerator until seving time.

What is "4V4", "1V7" etc...? I have never seen "XVX" before and am not sure what you mean
4 AA or bigger cells in series should be OK but marginally so as the regulator wants to see about a volt more in than it's output voltage for proper operation,

You may have a dose of whatever you want .
I thought it a good thread, with some not all thoughtful posts. There are probably threads that got wiped in the great massacre that were better but this one was OK.
Remind the folks here to never ask you to keep score.

Erin Tripp: 2013 Outstanding Graduate in Liberal Arts (Juneau)
"Erin is fantastic and the theater world is lucky that she's dedicated herself to acting. She's a sophisticated thinker, a great performer, involved in many student clubs, and very funny. She and Heather LaVerne are co-hosting the UAS Radio Show on Sunday afternoons and they play off each other wonderfully. They also bring a welcome levity to voice and empowerment because they understand serious issues but they can't help finding humor in life." — Arts and Sciences Nominating Committee
I am a member of multiple clubs on campus. I'm the chair of Wooch.een, social chair and singer with Alaskapella, a performer with UAS improv, and co-host a show on UAS radio. I'm currently rehearsing for "The Road Weeps, The Well Runs Dry" at Perseverance Theatre which opens in the beginning of May.
After graduating, I'm going to continue acting and have applied for an internship at Perseverance. Eventually, I'd like to get an M.F.A. in theatre and, down the road, an M.A.T. from UAS.
UAS' 2013 Juneau Commencement will be held May 5 at 2:00 p.m. at the UAS Recreation Center.
Crystal Rogers is receiving her Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree in Independent Design, focusing on the art, language, government and history of indigenous and Western societies in Alaska, with a minor in Tlingit.
Learn more about Crystal Rogers, this year's student speaker at the UAS Commencement in Juneau on May 6th.

Family: Timaliidae, Wrentits view all from this family
Description ADULT From north of range typically has mostly brownish upperparts including tail, grading to grayish on crown and face; note the hint of a pale supercilium. Throat is pinkish buff and streaked, and underparts are otherwise streaked pinkish buff grading to gray-buff on flanks. Legs and short, pointed bill are dark. From south of range has plumage that is grayer overall, both above and below. JUVENILE Similar to adult.
Dimensions Length: 6-6 1/2" (15-17 cm)
Habitat Common and rather sedentary resident of chaparral woodland.
Observation Tips Skulking habits mean that patience is often needed to get a good, prolonged view.
Range California, Northwest
Voice Song of male is an accelerating series of abrupt whistles, ending in a trill; that of female is more even and without the trill. All birds utter a rattling call.
Discussion Charming little bird that is rather secretive and unobtrusive for much of the time. Recognized by its squat body, proportionately large head and short wings, and relatively long tail that is often cocked. Pale iris is also distinctive. Sexes are similar, but color tone of plumage varies subtly throughout the species' range.
