Netanyahu just told the UN General Assembly that the only example in history of rockets being rained down on civilians–prior to Hamas doing so to southern Israel–was the blitz of England by the Nazis. And the western powers responded justifiably by levelling German cities.
So Israel was justified in its actions. And so the west must take on the reign of terror, originating in Iran, says Netanyahu.
A couple of counterfactuals. I think about 40,000 Brits died in the blitz. A couple of dozen Israelis have died due to Hamas rocket attacks. More importantly, the intra-state analogy that Netanyahu offers is bogus. The Palestinians have never had a state. As the National Lawyers Guild concluded in this great white paper on the Gaza onslaught, the Gazans are under "belligerent" occupation, and have a right to resist occupation, and therefore the actions of the state, Israel, when civilians have been targeted are not quite the same as the actions of the Brits against the Nazis.
"To the extent the Israelis try to couch their actions in terms of self defense, they are in fact taking prohibited reprisals agains Palestinians, who seek the right of self-determination. Even if some of the actions taken by the Palestinians in their resistance are illegal under international humanitarian law, there is no legal justification for Israel to claim it is acting in self defense under Article 51 [of the UN Charter]."
[This supports my analogy to the American urban violence of the 60s coming out of the ghettos, which provoked Nixon to call for law and order. Imagine if he'd murdered hundreds of civilians. Those people were our citizens. And Gazans are under Israel's control.]
The larger problem with Netanyahu's analogy is the Nazi distortion. He called on the west, per Churchill, not to "sleep" and "slumber" as terror encroaches. Redundant, that. This is the neoconservative view of the world, inflamed by paranoia and Islamophobia, and it has been discarded. Netanyahu should listen to Obama's Cairo speech.
Ad hominem: Netanyahu didn't look very good. His upper lip seemed unshaven. He already has a big square head; he struck me as somewhat oafish.
UPDATE: that National Lawyers Guild report was written for the International Association of Democratic Lawyers, by its president, Jeanne Mirer.

Are you a lawyer to startups, an aspiring entrepreneur or counsel to venture capital funds? If so, you probably have high hopes for your startup, sensing promise in its products and management team. However savvy the CEO and however dazzling the product, your startup can crash, or at least can cause major headaches for you, by doing the following, so steer clear!
1. Self-Drafting
You wouldn't save a few dollars by doing surgery on yourself; you'd leave complex medical procedures to a doctor with years of education and practice. Nor would you do complex home renovations by yourself. However, plenty of non-lawyers in startups engage in the risky practice of "self-drafting": preparing complex legal documents themselves. The results can be catastrophic, with legal expenses that far outweigh what it would have cost to have a lawyer draft documents right the first time, and delayed transactions that put a company's finances at risk.
For example, some startups issue equity to advisors and employees by self-drafting stock option documents. The result? Documents that contain imprecise descriptions of the equity issued, equity valuations that lack adequate support and wrong dates. The risk? IRS audits and penalties, claims by equityholders for larger amounts of stock than intended and frustrated investors.
Other startups self-draft complex agreements specifying how relationships between founders should be governed. The result? Documents with unclear language that is open to dispute, sometimes resulting in expensive claims by one founder against another if there is a falling out.
2. Side Deals
Venture capital investors make investments that have consistent structures, with terms varying only within a range of acceptability. If you're tempted to strike a deal with someone such as a key advisor or employee or customer, particularly involving your startup's equity or intellectual property, think twice, since the deal might not fit in the framework with which venture capital investors will be comfortable.
For example, if you promise an advisor the right to maintain his or her percentage of equity ownership in your company or if you promise a business partner the exclusive right to use some intellectual property, the results can be costly. Before engaging in side deals or promising equity or specific equity terms to anyone, call a lawyer and ask how venture capitalists will respond in the future.
3. Sloppy and Missing Paperwork
When a venture capital fund is ready to invest, a key part of its process before funding is due diligence; it and its counsel will want to see, among other things, that your company owns its intellectual property, the equity ownership of your company is clear, terms of indebtedness are clear, board and stockholder approvals have been documented and tax filings have been made.
All of these items should be carefully documented as time progresses and transactions occur; you shouldn't wait to document them until just before a financing round. To maintain relevant documents, it is best to keep a corporate minute book with complete documentation in it. All documents should be fully signed and correctly dated; all board and stockholder consents should have the correct exhibits attached; and documentation should be organized. Your lawyer should take a look through your minute book, if he or she doesn't keep it in the office, and straighten out any sloppy and missing documents well in advance of a financing round. Otherwise, your financing round will be delayed, your prospective investors will question your professionalism and expensive mistakes can occur.
Given the expense, headache and other problems that can arise from engaging in the risky practices described above, you'll want to work with counsel all along as your startup progresses. Working with counsel does not have to be expensive, particularly when weighed against the costs of cleaning up the effects of the items described above. You can work with counsel to determine a specific budget for various projects and for specific periods of work.
Even with flawless legal documentation, founding a company is difficult enough; why create extra headaches and costly problems for yourself by engaging in the practices described above? Law firms that regularly represent startups will understand your financial constraints and can work with you to determine a scope of legal coverage that suits your budget.

I happened to be looking at John Eaves' facebook page, and on one of his March 13th entries he posted some detail pictures of the Kronos One model. A person named Jon A. Bell replied with several pictures that he says was a study model built by Bill George as a possibility for the Klingon ambassador's ship, until it was decided just to refurbish the TMP model. Does anyone else have any clue as to how true this may be? It's an interesting looking model, regardless. Here's the pics:

Former Alabama Democratic Party chairman forms new Democratic group
A new organization for democrats in Alabama. Mark Kennedy resigned as chair of the Democratic Party and announced the formation of a new organization called The Alabama Democratic Majority.
Kennedy insists this new organization will not divide the party, but will do just the opposite. He says the new organization will be inclusive.
The Alabama Democratic Majority was formed to recruit and elect qualified candidates to serve in public office in Montgomery and throughout the state. However, Kennedy does admit he and the executive board of the Alabama Democratic Party do not share ideas about what it takes for democrats to win elections in Alabama.
"We believe that it's going to take organizing at the local level. It's going to take having a conversation with voters and the people of Alabama, talking about issues that are important to working class families," said Kennedy.
Kennedy says he wants to be clear that the Alabama Democratic Majority is not a political party, and does not stand in opposition to the Alabama Democratic Party. But he says it will ask the party to support inclusiveness.
Several other people left the Alabama Democratic Party to join Kennedy's new organization .
Representatives Richard Lindsey, Rod Scott, Jefferson County treasurer Mike Miles, and several local judges including Houston Brown, and Judge Deborah Bell Paseur were in attendance to support Kennedy's new organization.

At the time of writing this, I'm 45, however my race age is 46. It's a triathlon thing... you might not understand. :)
I've been somewhat athletically inclined the majority of my life. While I've never been fast at anything my strengths are, well, strength, coordination and flexibility. For some reason I decided after doing my first triathlon as part of a relay team in 2002 that I was hooked -- though at around 300 lbs, triathlon was definitely a challenge, to say the least. In spite of my weight I've always been active, cycling, tap dancing (don't laugh, it's true!).
After having my Daughter in 2004 I became Type II Diabetic. After long, hard consideration over the course of a couple years, I decided that Gastric Bypass would be the appropriate path for me. My Doctor said it would eradicate my Diabetes, and it did. I haven't had a shot of Insulin or medication since the day before surgery. Life is much better. To date, I maintains loss of over 160 lbs.
So with the massive weight loss, I decided to take the plunge and have my loose skin removed. By far, this was one of the most challenging (and painful) things I ever elected put myself through. I had surgery May 15th, 2013 with Dr. John Lo Monaco -- in my opinion a leader in massive weight loss reconstructive surgery.
What now? I still have work to do and I need goals to focus on to get it done, so it's Ironman Florida in 2017!!! You see, sometimes you gotta choose a goal so big that you have to become the person you want to be achieve it. :)

Niigata Albirex BB point guard Akitomo Takeno is only 23 years old, but already he is one of the bj-league's most explosive offensive performers.
Takeno, the Circle K Sunkus Player of the Week, scored 26 points in 19 minutes on Feb. 4, and didn't miss a shot in the game. He was 8-for-8 from the field, including 5-for-5 from 3-point range. He also knocked down all five of his free-throw attempts in a road win over the Tokyo Apache.
A day later, Takeno was 3-for-6 on 3-point shots and scored 14 points in the Albirex's series-closing win.
Takeno is Niigata's second-leading scorer (13.2 points per game).
Though he has come off the bench in each of the last eight games, Takeno continues to thrive on offense.

Nothing gets the blood boiling like 12-year-olds playing baseball. At least, that was the case for a pair of fathers in Columbus, Ga., who got into a fistfight during a Little League game.
The fight broke out behind the outfield fence and caused at least a dozen other parents to rush to break up the scrum. Of course, it wasn't an easy scuffle to stop, and those who rushed in to pull the two apart ended up exchanging some words of their own.
The entire situation was a mess, but no arrests were made. The two heavyweights involved in the initial melee were cited for disorderly conduct.
With the Little League World Series fast approaching, this incident should serve as a reminder to kids and parents everywhere that it's just a game. A little league game, no less.
Check out the entire fight in the video below.

Washington (Nov. 18)
Headed by President Coolidge and Chief Justice Taft, many prominent men in public and private life attended funeral services for Gus. J. Karger here, prior to the sending of his body to Cinicinnati for burial today. The honorary pallbearers were Chief Justice Taft, Assistant Secretary of War Dwight L. Davis, Senator Willis of Ohio, Representatives Burton and Longworth of Ohio. The active pallbearers included Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio. The National Press Club of Washington, of which Karger was former president, and press galleries at the capitol were represented by special delegations, while many other prominent journalists were present.
Gus J. Karger, veteran Washington newsaper correspondent of the Cincinati "Times Star", died here Tuesday. He was a personal friend of Chief Justice Tait, for whom he acted as personal press representative in the campaign of 1908. Taft was one of the first to go to his bedside when Karger was stricken recently. President Harding was also a personal friend of Karger, who took a prominent part in the publicity work of the Harding campaign of 1920. In 1912 Karger was Director of the Bureau of Organization for the Republican National Committee. He was also highly regarded by several other Presidents. He was fifty-eight years old.

Wheeee~ I'm alive lol yoohooo I'm just like drowning in university work and helping out at a convention so I will not be posting much until like the end of September. That's after my mid term assessments, convention has passed and my trip to the Gold Coast ded I've got like 8 assessments/quizzes/essays due in the period of 2 weeks, going to be drained lol :waaahpan
Anyways, I got my copy of Popteen last week kirakira I really love the cover, it depicts a typical Summer day to me. Eating watermelon on a beach or somewhere sunny :peace
Even though you can find issues of it online, there's nothing like having a physical copy in your hand. I highly suggest people to buy magazines if they like it so the magazine won't cease to exist like Cawaii foreveralone
While flipping though the magazine and visiting Popteens' webstore, I noticed the brand INGNI. I'm just inloooooove with their current items! ubershinyeyes They currently have like classic/vintage type pieces which I can't get enough of I can't believe I've never noticed them before. They've got a few blouses and tops with peter pan collars and bows which are my must haves lol chuchu:
And these are my favourite co-ordinates from their site lol Time to start saving to buy their items or to find similar pieces haha

Well I had it and got rid of it. I got it again and it simply wouldn't work. Now I've got it for keeps and actually need it, I can't use it.
I've got back on the Skype bandwagon after several dubious attempts to do so. I always had problems with my hardware not quite being up to scratch. I mean – I was hardly going to buy myself a spanking new bit of computer kit just before I was due to leave the country.
Previously though, I'd only downloaded it for social reasons. Now I've downloaded it because I was contacted by Neville Hobson to join him and Shel Holtz in one of their podcast sessions which they've recently started.
I'm really rather looking forward to it. However, I've dropped a bit of a bollock by not bringing my headset over. I fully appreciate they don't cost a fortune, but that's not the point. Best laid plans and all that.
So basically, you won't be able to Skype me until I get myself a headset, or USB phone if I'm feeling particularly swanky. I'm also not exactly sure of the date of the podcast, as it hasn't been finalised as yet, but Neville did mention to me that he'd get in touch after the New Year.
I promise I'll keep you posted. But, if you're after a fantastic way to chat to other people over the internet for free, check out Skype. (It's a bit more than just that, so go and find out for yourself.)

SAN DIMAS - Valle Vista League champion San Dimas saw its season come to an end in the second round of the CIF-Southern Section Division 3A girls volleyball playoffs Thursday.
The Saints continued their season-long pattern of first-game struggles and it proved to be too much to overcome in a tough playoff match.
The 10th-seeded Saints (19-7) lost to eighth-seeded Templeton 25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-21 at Life Pacific College.
San Dimas fell behind 7-0 before getting its first point on a kill by Savannah McGhghy.
"The number one struggle we've had all year is coming out ready to go," Saints co-coach Chris Peterson said. "I don't think that was the case tonight, I think it was strictly nerves."
The Saints battled back to close the gap to 14-11 but the Eagles (22-11) closed it out with an 11-3 run.
"When we don't know anything about a team we play as solid as we can then make adjustments," Peterson said.
The adjustments seemed to work as the Saints took their first lead of the match, 2-1, on a spectacular back tip kill by setter Emily Pincin. They extended their lead to 15-7 before the Eagles mounted a counterattack.
"I think we were really rattled at the beginning," Pincin said. "We have a lot of young players that aren't used to the playoff pressure, it just got into people's heads. We pulled it back in the second game."
Saints sophomore Hannah Doonan, junior Jackie Clark and senior Jene Lee took control of the net in the second game as the the Saints cruised to a 25-15 win.
Doonan led the Saints with 16 kills and Lee added 13.
"We spent that first game charting and looking at what we could shut down," Peterson said. "We came up with a strategy that worked in that second game. The girls on both teams were executing in an amazing way."
The Saints were never in the third game, but looked like they had regained control in the fourth game.
"They readjusted to our adjustments in that third game," Peterson said. "They were very aggressive plus they were the scrappiest defensive team we've played all year. They were amazing on defense, they didn't let anything drop. They simply outworked us on defense."
The Saints, behind Lee and Doonan, built an 18-14 lead as the match seemed destined for a fifth game.
The Eagles then went on a 6-1 run and took a 20-19 lead to take control of the game and match.
"All season we've had a little issue finishing games," Pincin said. "It wasn't our confidence, we just kind of let it go. Last year was our highlight year, getting to the semifinals but I love this team. They're young and they'll have that ring on their finger in a couple of years."

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello there
typical consultation without insurance would be somewhere around 125-200 dollars. However the treatment of blepharitis is fairly basic. I will outline it for you.
Blepharitis is an infection of the lids and lashes. Common findings in someone with blepharitis can range from subtle collections of yellow colored debris or flakes on the lashes to not so subtle crusting, clumping on lashes, red eyelid borders with thickening of the lids and oil gland orifices.
The treatment consists of 3 things and must be done consistently for effective control and cure.
First, you take a a warm wash cloth or warm compress and lay it across your lids for 5 minutes (heat must be applied for 5 mins). This helps the oil glands get moving again and helps losen up the debris on the lashes.
Next you take some baby shampoo and mix it with water (50/50) and use a wash cloth to rub across and cleanse the skin and lashes. This helps remove the debris.
Last, you apply antibiotic ointment, like erythromycin ophthalmic ointment to the base of the lashes.
This regimen helps get rid of or control the infection in about 2 weeks. You may try this without the antibiotic ointment first, but may need to talk to your doctor for a prescription for the erythromycin ophthalmic ointment if your symptoms do not resolve fully.
I hope this helps, this condition is a nuisance for many people and until the diagnosis is made, it can lead to lots of irritation and discomfort.
i wish you well, Dr. Stevens
Doc, thanks for your reply. I cannot pay you now because my credit card has been misplaced, and the number cancelled. I am waiting for the new card to arrive. Then I shall pay you. I currently have an open question with an appliance man. When I rang your bell I was just intending to see if the pricing is the same for ophtalmologsts and and appliance repair guys. I did not anticipate entering the Q&A phase. But no matter.
I have been studying blepharitis on line and believe I have the staphylococcal varity. Does that alter your suggestion for the type of antibiotic?
I live very near the US-Mexico border so I can probably pick up the ointment without a script. Thanks
Thanks for the update, I am glad you are getting a bit better, Regards

ComicsAlliance Celebrates Paiboktober!
While other sites may be content to bring you Rocktober, Shocktober or Mohawktober, ComicsAlliance is committed to commemorating the things that really matter! That's why this month, we're bringing you 31 days of the unstoppable Power Skrull as we celebrate Paiboktober!DID YOU KNOW…
- Like his fellow soldier, Kl'rt the Super-Skrull, Paibok was engineered to have powers beyond those of the Fantastic Four. Unlike the Super-Skrull, though, Paibok's have nothing to do with his opponents'. He can just fly, shoot electricity and blasts of cold out of his hands, and he's really strong. This might be why you don't see him all that often.
- Paibok's greatest plan was sending Lyja the Lazerfist (AWESOME) to infiltrate the FF by taking the identity of Alicia Masters and seducing Johnny Storm.
- What I'm getting at here is that Paibok definitely got the Human Torch to have sex with an alien. Marvel Comics!
Join us tomorrow for more Paiboktober celebrations!

Farm safety is improving according to two new USDA reports, but agriculture remains one of the most dangerous career fields in America.
Two USDA reports – "Agricultural Safety: 2009 Injuries to Adults on Farms" and "2011 Farm and Ranch Safety Survey" – looked at safety in today's agricultural industry.
According to the USDA, in 2009 there were an estimated 42,000 work-related injuries to adults living or working on U.S. farms. This is 41 percent lower than reported in 2004.
Of those injured:
- 69 percent were men.
- 84 percent of all work-related farm injuries occurred to adults who were part of the farm household, as opposed to hired workers.
- Animals were the primary source in 21 percent of the injuries.
- 78 percent of the animal-related injuries were attributed to horses or cattle.
- The average age was 52.2 years, up from 47.8 years reported in 2001.
The USDA also looked at dangerous machinery operated on farms. Tractors are the leading cause of occupational fatalities in agriculture, and a recent rollover death in Iowa points to the risks involved with the large machines.
There were an estimated 4.4 million tractors in operation on farms and ranches in 2011. Of those, 59 percent were equipped with roll-over protective structures.
Other farm hazards included all-terrain vehicles and storage facilities.
Click here to read "Agricultural Safety: 2009 Injuries to Adults on Farms" and "2011 Farm and Ranch Safety Survey".
Farming may be a dangerous job, but putting safety first could help prevent accidents that lead to injuries and fatalities. The Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) released a fact sheet to help improve farm safety. Click here for more.
In addition, Kent McGuire, an Ohio State University Extension ag safety educator and Ohio AgrAbility Program coordinator, suggests the following tips to avoid the risk of fatigue, which can increase the likelihood of an accident:
- Get plenty of sleep.
- Avoid thinking about work once you have finished for the day. Engage in an activity that will get your mind off of the tasks ahead.
- Pace yourself and plan out your activities.
- Eat healthy and maintain a normal eating schedule.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Dehydration can cause fatigue.
- Take short breaks throughout the day.
- Get some exercise after sitting over long periods of time. Stretching or even a short walk will get your body moving and re-energized.

Jason Kidd made his return to the hardwood on Tuesday night and led the Mavericks to a victory in classic J-Kidd fashion.
J-Kidd was back leading the Mavs on Tuesday night, as the team makes a final push to the postseason (Getty Images).
After missing the Mavs' previous four games with a right groin strain, J-Kidd returned looking re-energized and raring to go. He filled up the box score, ending the night with seven points, seven assists, six rebounds, two blocks and a steal in his 22 minutes. The performance helped push the Mavs to a much-needed 110-100 victory over the Sacramento Kings in front of their hometown crowd at American Airlines Center.
Shawn Marion commented after the game that the return of their leader was just what the Mavs needed to get back on the winning track.
"He's amazing and he just needs to be Kidd on the court and help us win ballgames," Marion said.
Jason's return gave the slumping Mavs the kickstart as they head into the final eight games of the season. As always, the veteran point guard brought more to the team than was reflected in the box score.
J-Kidd helped the Mavericks stay in the game early, after a rough start saw them fall behind 10-4 less than three minutes into the game. No. 2 knocked down his first shot of the night, a trey, to halve that deficit and moments later assisted for the first time as Ian Mahinmi scored to help Dallas keep pace. He got another assist two minutes later, finding Dirk Nowitzki for a jumper, before checking out with 4:08 left in the first and the Mavs down by four.
After the game, Nowitzki, commented that J-Kidd, who he called "the leader of the pack" was moving well on Tuesday night. Indeed, Jason appeared to have the type of fresh legs and renewed athleticism he was hoping for after an extended rest.
"You know, when somebody comes back off of injury, you don't really look at the basketball they played, you look at the movement," Nowitzki said. "And I thought he moved well. He drove a couple of times, he had a spin move going to the cup trying to finish, he had a blocked shot, which I haven't seen basically since he's been here. So, his movement was great and that's obviously very encouraging for our team."
The blocked shot Nowitzki referred to happened midway through the second quarter, when J-Kidd stonewalled the Kings' 6'11" forward Donte Greene on a running layup.
"I was just jumping. All of a sudden, I put the ball on the backboard. I think it surprised both of us," Jason quipped.
The block was part of a big second quarter for No. 2. In the final seven minutes of the half he tallied a driving layup, an assist, the block and three rebounds. For those seven minutes, the Mavericks outscored Sacramento 20-13 to take a seven-point lead into the break.
Jason continued to facilitate in the third as the Mavericks looked to expand their lead. He assisted on three of Dallas' first six buckets of the quarter and, just four minutes into the third, the Mavs pushed their lead to 10. Sacramento followed with a 6-0 run, but J-Kidd put an end to it, drawing a shooting foul on Tyreke Evans to get to the free throw line. No. 2 sank both of his shots at the stripe to push the lead back to six.
After an assist to Jason Terry moments later, J-Kidd exited the game with 3:40 left in the quarter. He did not return to the game as coach Rick Carlisle adhered to the strict minutes limit he had placed on his returning point guard. The Mavs also made it an easy decision on Carlisle, pulling away in the fourth for a 10-point win.
J-Kidd set some mini goals for himself prior to the game — none statistical — and did his best to accomplish those throughout the course of the night. He noted after the game that Tuesday night was probably the best he's felt in a while.
"I just wanted to be aggressive, get the ball in the paint, make some things happen and get a win," he said. "I feel great. My minutes were about where they should be for what we're trying to accomplish and I didn't have to go back in the fourth quarter. So, it was a win-win tonight."
Carlisle was asked if J-Kidd's return played any part in the team's scoring surge after they cracked the 100-point barrier for the first time in the month of April. Carlisle knows by now the difference No. 2 can make.
"For a guy that's been out 10 days, it's remarkable how he comes back and plays," Carlisle said. "Almost always plays well the first game back and has a real impact. It's a sight for sore eyes to see him out there and see him moving well, not be in pain."
Mavericks fans can point to any number of statistical or personal reasons that may have made the difference in Tuesday night's win, but Jason Terry is convinced there is only one true reason: the triumphant return of the team's floor general.
"Our biggest difference is that Jason Kidd is back," Terry said. "When you have your leader — your point guard — I think that's more of what we're looking at with the feel of everything out here."
J-Kidd's return on Tuesday night marked the first time since March 30 that the entire Mavericks roster was totally healthy, which will undoubtedly be a key element to Dallas' final stretch and a potential postseason run.
After a day off on Wednesday, the Mavs begin a four-game road trip as they head to Jason's hometown of Oakland to take on the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.
With just 1.5 games separating Dallas from a spot outside the playoff picture, the Mavs know they must buckle down and win games on the road over the next week to even see the postseason.
"We all understand what's at stake," Jason said. "We've got to continue to get better."
Thursday's tip off is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. CT and the game can be seen nationally on TNT or locally on Fox Sports Southwest.

LA Prepares for World's Largest Wave Tank
Posted December 20, 2013
Ever seen a wave tank? They're pretty cool, not just for recreation but also for research, which is why the city of Los Angeles is gearing up for a major construction project at a currently unused pier in San Pedro. Called AltaSea, it's projected to open in 2018, and when it does, it won't be just any old wave tank: it will be the world's largest, part of a massive marine research complex that aims to attract scientists from all over the world.
The end result should be quite impressive, although one trembles to think of the work ahead for LA concrete firms and other construction companies as they prepare for this massive, complex project. A lot is riding, so to speak, on the waves this project will bring in, including upwards of 1,000 jobs and a place as a premier research institution.View original post.

Once each pair is ready they open one of my fluency books and used the flip camera to record their cold read. Students listen to their cold read and then make a goal for themselves for the day. For example, one student wrote "I need to work on not adding extra words". I gave her a cute finger pointer (see below) and set her on their way. I always find using fun finger pointers encourage tracking and students love them! I have claws for the boys and wands for the girls.
After the cold read, students practice reading the story three times keeping their goals in mind. Then, they record their last read with the flip camera. After listing to their final reading, students reflect in their journal on how they have progressed as a reader. I always choose one group who worked extra hard for a treat.

Frustrated with ex's lack of responsibility... how do I handle it?
Last fall ex was sent new insurance cards, I have yet to get one for our kids (we have 5 together). I also have medical assistance for them but that is besides the point right now. A month later he gets a letter from his insurance company stating basically they want to know if the kids have any other forms of insurance.
In Spetember our 12yo DD slammed her hand in his car door & I took her to urgent care thenext night because she said she wasn't able to use it all day at school. I also took our 11yo DD who had been complaining of an ear infection. Turns out no broken hand, but slight ear infection.
Then a week later our oldest, 16yo DS, was at an away soccer game & somehow managed to fall & bote through his lip. Ex was here at the time & went & got him & took him to urgent care where he got stiches in his lip.
Fast forward to November, I get bills for the ear infection & split lip stating his insurance was refusing to pay. This is when I find out that he was sent this letter about proving the kids had other insurance. He said he would take care of it, but never asked me for their PA medical cards.
Then our oldest DD was being goofy around the house & went to jump over our computer chair & fell & twisted her ankle... turns out she actually broke it. Now I have a bill for her xrays!
At Christmas I took the kids to his mom's house & I asked him if he had sent in the paperwork because I was still getting bills. He admitted he had not. I went into his bedroom (he lives with his mom) & got the papers & filled them out myself & his mom made copies of the kids' cards to mail in with them. I also asked for the new cards to which he replied he didn't know where he had put them. Nothing really had changed other than the co-pay amounts. But that's not the point- I have been giving the doctor office the wrong insurance card because of his stupidity!
I took DS to the eye doctor at the beginning of Jan & the girls at the end. I now have a $10.00 co-pay bill for one of the girls- which I find odd because I was told that would be billed to their PA medical. I am not going to stress over that but the point is I shouldn't have had to worry about ANY of this if he had just given me the cards to begin with & turned in the darn paperwork when he should have!
Other than harrass him & eventually doing it myself, what should I do? I work M-F 8-5 when the insurance offices would be open. A) it's not my responibility to call- it's his, B) I don't have the time to do it, & C) since I am his EX they probably wouldn't talk to me anyway. He works fast food & often has days off during the week where he could call. His lazy excuse is he usually closes the day before his day off & doesn't get home til 4 or 5am. So he sleeps most of the day. I know, lame excuse because if the bills were in HIS name he certainly would be calling & making the calls so he didn't have to pay them!
How do I handle this?
you may not like this answer but I would just call on my lunch and talk to them directly. If they refuse to answer fine but at least you tried.
Ask them what you can do to make the situation better.
Also I'd send ex. an email and/or certified letter requesting the id cards and giving the other info. etc. so that there is a record that you did it.
If nec. I'd get the damn papers and send them my self ... not b/c its Your responsiblit... you are right it is his but at this point you are the one paying for his job...
Last, I'd contemplate taking him the small claims court to get the $$ I end up shelling out.
Explanantion to the above: "Is it more important to be right or happy" or in this case "right or go to the dr. w/o issues/bills?"
I get what you are saying. Last night I asked about the paperwork & he said he sent it in & is just waiting to hear back from them. The problem with calling on my lunch is who knows how long I could be on hold waiting on someone to answer the call?! I spent 30 minutes on hold one day (for another call I had to make) which is half my break! I didn't even have time to go grab something to eat! LOL
Quoting MamiJaAyla:
Explanantion to the above: "Is it more important to be right or happy" or in this case "right or go to the dr. w/o issues/bills?"


text: Culture 12 November 2001 Founding father Kinnock: the biography Martin Westlake Little, Brown, 768pp, £25 ISBN 0316848719 Sign up for our weekly email * Every now and again in this long book, Neil Kinnock, the senior EU commissioner, pops up to give his verdict on Neil Kinnock, the youthful leader of the Labour Party. By the end, he cannot take any more. His last appearance is a note to the author on the final draft of the book: "Sorry this has taken so long . . . my fault. Reading it just depressed me to vanishing point. Christ! What a way to spend my forties!" The author, Martin Westlake, constantly refers to the paradoxes and apparent internal contradictions associated with Kinnock, but it takes the man himself to bring them to life. His valedictory note manages to be funny, sad, demonstrative and introspective at the same time. That is how Kinnock comes across these days. He has rediscovered the energetic wit and charm that mesmerised many in the Labour Party and beyond before he became leader. Yet he is burdened still by the weight of the years in which he led an almost unleadable party. His old ebullience has acquired a melancholic streak. When Kinnock became leader after the 1983 election, he faced an impossible task, although it probably did not seem so at the time. That was part of the agony. There was always the hope of succeeding, of becoming prime minister. Only in retrospect do the obstacles seem so daunting. In the 1983 election, Labour was slaughtered, securing a significantly lower percentage of the vote than the Conservatives did last June. Kinnock also had David Owen and the SDP/Liberal Alliance breathing down his neck. He had no control over who was in his shadow cabinet, and faced a powerful national executive committee, still largely committed to the programme that had brought the party to its knees. In the constituencies, the Militant Tendency was continuing to wreak havoc. Compared with this, Iain Duncan Smith enjoys a golden inheritance. At Labour's annual conference, Tony Blair never fails to hail Kinnock as the "first moderniser" or the "man who made Labour electable again". Kinnock looks a little uneasy at the tribute and the applause it generates. He is probably thinking to himself: "Yes, but I still bloody lost." Yet Blair is right to make the tribute. Kinnock provided a route map of sorts for new Labour. When he became leader, he recognised the importance of presentation for a centre-left party surrounded by a right-wing press. Years before Blair and Brown, he proclaimed the need for economic competence in order to make social justice a possibility. Slowly and painfully, he dropped one vote-losing policy after another, without finding an alternative set of credible policies to replace them. To some extent, new Labour is still searching. Privately, Kinnock has his criticisms of new Labour, but he is in many ways its founding father. Kinnock had to change not only the Labour Party, but also himself. In the 1970s, he was an anti-marketeer, a unilateralist and a rebel MP who attacked the Labour government for cutting public expenditure. But this book makes clear that the stereotype of a left-wing firebrand who became a vote-seeking pragmatist is simplistic. Kinnock always had a pragmatic streak, one that led to a breach with the Bennite left in dramatic circumstances in 1981, two years before he became leader. Could Kinnock have done more to narrow the gap between the two main parties by 1992, or even win an election himself? Although Kinnock insists that his metamorphosis into a tight-arsed bank manager was necessary, it surely went too far. The vitality that made him such an appealing politician in the late 1970s and early 1980s was purged unconvincingly and unnecessarily. On the policy front, perhaps Kinnock could have moved a little faster in the early years. He thinks so now. The most revealing moments in the biography come when the author dips into the Kinnock collection of papers, evidently a treasure trove of malicious documents from feuding politicians. Kinnock's largely loyal deputy Roy Hattersley wrote: "I sent you a note last week that contained a joke about the constant cancellations of our meetings. The joke is beginning to wear a bit thin." I do not get the impression that Kinnock and his office managed people very well - but then again, a more awkward bunch of people to manage would be difficult to envisage. Broadly, Kinnock faced challenges on too many different fronts to have achieved much more than he did. I also suspect his self-confidence was fatally battered by a media onslaught that was more intense and relentless than anything faced by William Hague. The attacks were made worse because Kinnock did not possess the armour of being a former minister. He could only affect the pose of a ruler, not knowing what it was really like. Only an election win would have restored his confidence. The lack of self-confidence prevented him from winning an election. Westlake has provided a comprehensive and occasionally illuminating account of Kinnock's political journey, although his acknowledgements suggest that he did not interview significant players of the leadership years. Perhaps this is why the drama of that desperate decade does not come to life in quite the way it should. Shortly after the 1992 election defeat, Kinnock told me that he envisaged no further biographies. He stated mournfully: "Biographies are for winners, not losers." Now Westlake states that his is "only" the fifth biography. Kinnock is a much more substantial political figure than he realised when voters rejected him for a second time. More authors will wish to revisit the bloody way he spent his forties.

Inspiration can come at any time. Capture it every time.
The Ovation iDea CC24SI Celebrity acoustic-electric guitar leads the way in innovation with an integrated MP3 recorder, so you can record new songs whenever and wherever. The Ovation iDea is a great instrument for composers and singer-songwriters, so they can work out new compositions on-the-fly. The guitar's built-in mic can pick up vocals as well as licks that can be stored in the MP3 player. The player has a non-expandable 128MB of storage allowing approximately 100 minutes of recording time.
The digital recorder is part of the onboard Ovation preamp. A simple and direct recording control makes it easy to record fragments, entire songs, or even vocals and commentary. The Ovation iDea is also a learning tool with audio lessons pre-installed in the memory.
Downloading files from a computer or the internet is easy via USB. Files in the Ovation iDea can be moved, renamed, deleted, and rearranged right on the computer desktop. Mixes from recording software, rhythm tracks, even songs the player wants to learn can be downloaded and played either through the guitar output or headphones. Several "Jam Tracks" are also pre-installed in the acoustic-electric guitar and others are available online.
Built on a mid-depth Ovation cutaway design, the body depth provides comfort and strength in sound. Thanks to the impressive top wood, and Ovation's materials and cutting-edge design technology, the sound of the iDea guitar projects well and is pleasing to the ears.
The Ovation guitar's top is solid spruce, offering balanced tone right out of the box. The bowl is made of Lyrachord, a mix of composite materials. Its manufacturing process is based on the same original recipe developed by company founder Charles Kaman back in the '60s. The bowl vibrates well and produces a louder, more dynamic sound with a perfect response. Using incredibly sophisticated laser-based aerospace measurement machines, Ovation engineers plotted the movement of the iDea guitar tops using different bracing patterns. Through some detailed analysis, Ovation's modified X-bracing produces a rich, powerful sound that cuts through but is responsive at the same time. The cutaway shape on the upper bout, 25-1/4" scale, and 1-11/16" nut width adds comfort when playing intricate fret movements. The nato neck on the Ovation iDea guitar is strong, durable, and adds a considerable amount of clarity to the overall tone. The walnut bridge and rosewood fretboard provide clear sustain and the multi-soundhole design features amazing volume and exotic hardwood. Other appointments include abalone dot fretboard inlays, gold hardware and tuners, and a gloss finish.
The OPI preamp controller is an intuitive electronics control system. It features stereo headphone output; SB connector; display window; master volume control; bass, midrange, and treble EQ; preamp release latch (to access battery on preamp rear); built-in microphone; play/stop button; repeat/loop button; record button; and a joystick to navigate MP3 files.

text: Well this weekend I needed to go to a baby shower and party at the property my brother lives at. Warra is on the Warrego Highway, west of Toowoomba in Qld. It's very beautiful and green out there at the moment. I haven't done a RR before and this was my first ride alone on any dirt or gravel so I didn't do a lot of it. I left at about 6am on Saturday and had planned to get there by 10 or 11. Didn't quite work out that way My route (well the points I remembered to hit my spot button): The ride out was tar until just past Yarraman. I copped the full 15 minute wait at Blackbutt range. There was a landslide in the floods so the entire range is one way. I wasn't game to get off the bike or take my helmet off in case the light turned green so I took off my gloves and rolled a smoke. Its been a long time since I tried to smoke wearing my helmet lol. Also had AcDc blaring in my helmet so I sat there head banging without realising it, I am sure the truckie behind me thought it was hilarious. Just after Yarraman theres a track that cuts across to Maidenwell. Its called the Maidenwell - Upper Yarraman Rd funny enough. I was glad it wasn't wet as a lot of it is red clay. It runs though some really gorgeous country, farmland, forestry and bush. Little bit of water: Minor road damage I took a wrong turn at the end of it and had to turn around after a while and back track to Maidenwell. I should get a real gps so I don't rely on memorising maps. I had forgotten that a lot of the road from Maidenwell to Bunya Mountains is gravel. So that was a nice surprise! Its a lovely ride out there. Part of Bunya Mountains: I haven't got anymore pics cause I am very slack at stopping and getting the camera out. I think I missed the turn I was going to take off the Bunya Highway to go towards Bell so I did quite a loop of the country out there. From Bell I went though Jimbour and along a road through the cotton fields to Macalister. Then I had a short blat down the highway to Warra. Stayed there the night, drinking a lot and sleeping very little. Met a fellow rider, Glenn, who my brother works for so got to talk about bikes plenty Skinny dipped in a huge muddy dam for hours in the middle of the night. (Sorry for puking in your dam Glenn) Subsequently I woke up not really feeling like the long ride home and procrastinated until lunch time. Due to my hungover state I wussed out and took the tar home. Rode to Toowoomba, Grantham (to sticky beak at the flood damage, poor buggers), Esk, Kilcoy and back home. Wanted to go along past Somerset but there was a road closed sign which I should've stopped and read properly as it seems I could have gone there after all. And thats all folks.

Switzerland's higher-education system is made up primarily of traditional universities and universities of applied sciences.
Country Overview
The two things Switzerland is most readily identified with, banking and neutrality, are also what have enabled the country to become one of the wealthiest in the world. The country was not involved in fighting during the two World Wars, yet has maintained a large citizen army. Its system of democracy ensures that people have a direct say in the country's affairs. About two-thirds of the populace speaks German. Most of the rest speak French and Italian. The country's banking sector is becoming more open in response to claims that it launders money and finances terrorists. The country joined the United Nations in 2002.
This small, mountainous, landlocked country has a wide variety of climatic conditions because of its great range of altitude. The higher peaks of the Alps rise to over 4,000 m/13,100 ft and are snow-covered throughout the year.
At lower levels in the Alpine valleys and on the central Swiss plateau, summers can be quite warm, but this is the wettest period of the year in Switzerland. Much of the summer rainfall is heavy and is often accompanied by severe thunderstorms.
Like other parts of west-central Europe, Switzerland is open to climatic influences from the Atlantic and from eastern Europe, and the weather at all times of the year is changeable.
The most settled weather occurs when the country is influenced by an anticyclone. In summer this brings warm, sunny weather, but in winter it may bring either cold, sunny weather or easterly winds with cloudy skies. Midwinter, rather than midsummer, is more likely to be a time of settled weather.
The country can be divided into four climatic regions: Canton Ticino or the extreme south, the Alps, the central or Swiss plateau, and the Jura Mountains.
Annual rainfall
Monthly average rainfall: January 64 mm (2.51 inches); April 64 mm (2.51 inches); July 74 mm (2.91 inches); October 86 mm (3.38 inches).
Overview of Higher Education
The system of higher education in Switzerland is made up primarily of traditional universities, which focus on teaching and basic research, and universities of applied sciences, which focus on applied research and development.
The twelve traditional universities include 10 cantonal (member state) universities and two federal institutes of technology. Five of the cantonal universities are German-speaking, three are French-speaking, and one is Italian-speaking. Only one such university is bilingual.
Seven of the universities of applied science are public, and one is private. These universities are an amalgamation of some 70 advanced technical schools that were brought together in the late 1990s. The country has been bringing university curricula in line with the Bologna Process. Soon the traditional bachelor's and master's degrees will replace existing Swiss degrees.
In 2007 about 115,000 students were studying at the traditional universities, and about 65,000 were studying at the universities of applied sciences. About 23 percent were from other countries.

Devil's Den
Gettysburg: Devil's Den
The boulders of Gettysburg's Devil's Den and nearby Plum Run are significant "major battle action" areas of the Gettysburg battlefield. Benning's and Law's Confederate brigades advanced across the area while attacking the lines of the Union army on July 2, 1863. Gettysburg National Military Park's General Management Plan calls for a multi-year battlefield rehabilitation effort that will return key areas of the battlefield — as closely as possible — to their 1863 appearance.
In July 1863, Devil's Den at Gettysburg was more clear of trees than it is today. Over the years, trees had grown where there were none during the battle. The new growth severely limited the interpretation of this key area of the battlefield, obscuring sight lines and making it impossible for visitors to envision the terrain as the soldiers saw it.
Rehabilitation work — non-historic vegetation removal in Gettysburg at the Devil's Den area — had exposed utility lines and the comfort station at the base of Big Round Top that were previously obscured. The overhead utility lines provided electricity to the Bushman and Slyder farms and to the Althoff and Trostle farms, north of Devil's Den.
The Gettysburg Foundation, the non-profit partner of the National Park Service at Gettysburg, raised the funds to remove these modern intrusions at Devil's Den. The comfort station, and the intrusive utility lines that supply power to it, were removed in spring 2010. The Foundation has also assisted the park with burying the intrusive overhead utility lines in several areas in the southern part of the battlefield near the historic Althoff, Slyder and Trostle farms.
Support Battlefield Rehabilitation
By supporting the Gettysburg Foundation you can help the Foundation continue the work of its broad preservation mission, in partnership with the National Park Service, that includes battlefield rehabilitation, land preservation, artifact preservation, monument preservation and education.

My Mormon roots go back to the pioneers, and I honor their sacrifices and faith. It is thoughts like this that have kept me in the Church at times where my own faith was waning. However, lately I have realized that I need to think more about the faith of my mothers.
The faith of my mothers is of intelligence, courage, compassion, truth and righteousness. In order to honor the faith of my mothers, I need to be true to myself, my beliefs, my questions, my doubts. My hope is that being more open with my acorns of doubt will lead to understanding. I also hope that this will help others feel more comfortable with their own questions, thoughts and beliefs.
