Texas public college and university enrollment rose by 22.5 percent between 2007 and 2012, but state funding fell.
That's according to a report out today from the association of State Higher Education Executive Officers.
At the same time, Texas appropriations for higher education dropped six percent per student. That's through the recession in a state that did better than most.
Texas was among 48 states that reduced "constant-dollars" for students in public institutions. Still, Texans fared better than most. Thirty states reduced funding for students by more than 20 percent over the same period.

Just a few days ago, rumors of a Rudy Gay trade were eminent but nothing ever happened. Gay was rumored to be headed to the Phoenix Suns in a package for Jared Dudley. A move that would be widely considered as a salary dump.
Now rumors are that the Grizzles tried to sell off Gay's contract to the Wolves who balked at the offer. The deal and my thoughts below:
The Minnesota Timberwolves turned down a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies for Rudy Gay, according to a report.
Speculation suggests the Grizzlies offered a deal that would have sent Gay to the Timberwolves in return for Kevin Love and/or Nikola Pekovic.
Via Darren Wolfson/ESPN 1500 Radio and RealGM
There is a reason that no one wants to trade for Gay: his contract is too high! That PLUS the fact that the Grizzlies had their best ever season with the guy on the sideline in the three piece suit.
I would say my Bobcats should trade for him, but there is no way that deal could get done without trading Kemba Walker or MKG, which just aint happening…

Title: Blob Error when adding Operators
Post by: txadmin on July 24, 2008, 04:49:23 PM
Has anyone else gotten this error when adding a new operator in the admin area:
Notice: Undefined variable: blob in /home/calwllic/public_html/efwlli/livehelp/class/operator.php on line 196
I just started trying to play around with HCL today. The Fantastico app on my webhost installed version 2. 1. 4. I then upgraded to v2. 1. 7 hoping it would fix this bug but it is still there. It does not seem to interfere with adding an operator, I just hate seeing errors on webpages.
Anyone know how to fix it?
Title: Re: Blob Error when adding Operators
Post by: txadmin on July 24, 2008, 05:06:28 PM
I found another post that explained how to turn off the error messages, but that seems to be a cheap hack. Is there a way to genuinely fix the code?
Title: Re: Blob Error when adding Operators
Post by: ScriptJunkie on August 02, 2008, 01:17:23 AM
I resolved by uninstalling both versions, then doing a fresh install of 2. 17. But, I didn't have any data to lose as both were new to me, so that wasn't an issue.
After installing 2. 17 clean, I saw the blob error one time. I refreshed the page, logged out, logged back in, and haven't seen it since.
I have no idea what that's about, but since it seems resolved, I don't worry about it.

Even with Notre Dame taking advantage of Marquette penalties, the Golden Eagles were still in this game until late when ND pulled away for a 12-7 win.
The Irish come to Uihlein Park for a non-conference tilt with the Golden Eagles on Tuesday evening.
It was only 5-1 at the half, and that was because of two late Irish goals. Those goals got Notre Dame going and they blew the game open early in the second half on Wednesday evening.
The Golden Eagles are in South Bend this evening to tangle with a Fighting Irish team that's only lost to teams ranked ahead of them in the polls this season. Could get interesting quickly.
Just like last year, Duke led Marquette 10-1 after the first quarter. But the remaining three quarters went better than last time, so that's something.
AAC, ACC, Atlantic 10, Big East, Big 12, SEC, Mountain West, Pac 12. All starting today, PLUS: the Patriot League title game!
Wisconsin and Virginia played a 57 possession game and no one broke 50 points. At least no one watched the game, right? RIGHT?
The Cavaliers played with only 10 men for 89 minutes of this match, but they still found enough opportunities to prevail in the Sweet 16 round of the 2013 College Cup. Join us as we recap and say...
It's the round of 16 and Marquette will yet again take on one of the best teams in the country. Will they respond again and make this already great season even better?
Good news: the Golden Eagles played the Blue Devils pretty even for a lot of this game. Bad news: "A lot" isn't all of the game.

Redirecting the LGC: George Bald's challenge
In 2000, the LGC created a Property and Liability Trust, which provided workers compensation services to municipalities. It lost money every year. The LGC transferred $17.1 million from other insurance pools to the liability trust to keep it in the black. The Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire challenged that transfer in court and won, and the LGC was ordered to repay the money. Instead of settling or complying, it has fought the repayment orders in court, racking up the $2.2 million bill, which it has paid with taxpayer funds collected from its municipal customers.
This is the mess the LGC's interim executive director, George Bald, a former state economic development commissioner, inherited after the previous director's firing. For our Thursday story on this massive legal expense, Bald said, "Certainly, I'm saddened we've had to spend that amount of money." He said he hoped to "move us out of the legal arena so we're not spending so much money in legal defense."
Bald seems to get the absurdity of the situation. As firefighters president David Lang said, "To use over $2 million of other people's money to prevent them from getting their own money back makes no sense to me." Here is to hoping that Bald can swiftly steer the organization in another direction and stop the continued wasting of other people's money.

The wait for the opening of the restaurant previously known as Royal Dynasty isn't quite over. But it's getting close.
According to Victor Hui, the owner of what will be known as Pacific Grove, said he expects his Lowell Street restaurant to open its doors by the end of January.
Royal Dynasty closed in September after Hui, who also owns a Chinese food restaurant in North Reading, took over ownership of the business. The original plan was to re-open by the end of 2012, but the building needed more work than initially anticipated.
"We're excited, but it's been a lot of work on the building," said Hui. "We want to make sure things are just right, which is why it's taking longer."
Hui said there is no definitive grand opening date set as of now, but said it will "definitely" be within the next month.
The upgrades include work on the aesthetics and a sushi bar that Hui said will add to the atmosphere of the restaurants. He said it's likely Pacific Grove will host comedians, musicians and other kinds of entertainment.
While Wilmington residents have not yet been able to step inside Pacific Grove, Hui said he's gotten to know many of his future customers as they've dined at China Cuisine in North Reading.
Hui added that he wanted to give his staff the opportunity to become fully trained before opening, and thus it did not make sense to begin his business during the holiday rush.
"Because most of the time when you first open, you have a lot of people come in, I didn't want to then also open in the holiday season," said Hui. "I just wanted to slow things down a bit. We're working on the store almost every day to make sure things turn out right. We can already tell we like the people here, and we are looking forward to having a good business in Wilmington."

Times West Virginian
Ten days earlier, after West Virginia University went to Rutgers and beat them, 85-64, on their home court, the Scarlet Knights' coach Mike Rice said the Mountaineers had "punched us in the mouth and they punched us in the gut and then they took the victory and walked out of the RAC. They literally just abused and beat up a young-minded and weak team."
Well, it happened again, only worse, on Saturday afternoon as the Mountaineers once more abused and beat up Rutgers, 84-60, this time in a game in which Rice said his team was "bullied."
"They just seem to, for lack of a better word, bully us," Rice said as his team's two-game winning streak was left broken into pieces on the Coliseum floor. "They take us out of our offense. Guys are trying to run away from West Virginia players instead of executing. They are just tougher than us."
This time the Mountaineers, especially their powerful Turkish center, Deniz Kilicli, enjoyed the way they pounded the Scarlet Knights.
Kilicli had heard that Rice, after the embarrassment that was heaped upon his team in New Jersey, had called for some demanding practices that included working with punching bags.
"The punching bags didn't work for them. Maybe they should get out the heavy bags," he said. "This time they were worse.
"Their coach said we were beating our chests and laughing at them. We never do that. I think that's really disrespectful to us. I think beating them by 30 should show them. They should put the punching bags back. It's not working."
The truth is that Rutgers certainly is not ready for the physical brand of basketball that WVU plays under Bob Huggins, but even Huggins had to laugh when he was told that Rice used the term "bullied" in describing the way his Mountaineers handled them.
"We've got seven freshmen. Who are we bullying? Let's be honest. Did you see Keaton Miles bully anybody?" Huggins began, referring to a long and lean freshman forward. "Deniz (Kilicli) got in foul trouble and he's our biggest, strongest guy. K.J. (Kevin Jones) is, in my opinion, the best player in the league. If he bullied them, he's bullied a lot of people. I don't see where we bully anybody."
And Huggins, way back in his Cincinnati days when he had players like Danny Fortson and Kenyon Martin, had a pretty good idea of how to bully teams.
Jones is bullying the Big East this year, that is for certain. He leads in scoring 20.1 and leads in rebounding at 11.6 per game, and was even better than that in this game.
Jones had another double-double against Rutgers, his 12th in 18 games, scoring 24 points with 14 rebounds.
But Jones was not alone. Kilicli, despite playing only 22 minutes, counterpunched for 14 points and four rebounds and a couple of assists and a steal while senior guard Truck Bryant had 18 points.
"Kevin Jones and Truck were men among boys for the second time. It shows you if we don't play with tremendous toughness and togetherness we're not a very good team," Rice said.
But this was as much about what Rutgers didn't do, namely play defense, as what West Virginia did do.
"Pathetic ... an absolutely pathetic defensive performance," Rice said. "They were just hugging their men. It looked like it was the first time they met each other. A young team that couldn't get out of its own way this afternoon."
Certainly there was reason for Rutgers to think it could come into West Virginia and turn around the events that occurred in New Jersey. The Big East has been so crazy that anything could happen at any time ... like Rutgers beating Pittsburgh at the Petersen Event Center.
Although the way things are working out for the defending Big East champions, that may not really be an upset as Pitt dropped its fifth straight Big East game to go to 0-5, losing at Marquette on Saturday.
The team directly above Pittsburgh is a name associated with the elite in the Big East, Villanova, which lost to Cincinnati and now stands at 1-5 in the conference.
And with it all, West Virginia is just rolling along at 4-2 in America's toughest basketball conference as Huggins continues to talk about them as if they were at the bottom of the league, stressing their youth, their inexperience, their inability to play consistently.

Hi Polkies,
I'm having problem with my PSW10 sub which suddenly stopped working. I tried connecting the left/right RCA cables directly from my DVD to the left/right connectors on the sub and played a CD. Turned up the volume a little bit but no sound came out from the sub. Then, I tried testing the cable. I removed the two RCA cables that I previously connected. Connected the sub cable to the left input on the sub and connect the other end to the left output on the DVD player and began playing a CD. Turned up the volume a little bit but still no sound came out from the sub. Now, I don't know if there is a problem with sub or just the cable. Please help!!! Thanks. Bolelet1

What better way to bust out of the winter blues than to take the family to a drumming and world music concert?
The concert is set for 2 p.m. March 3 at the Nyack Center in Nyack, N.Y., and features David Ellenbogen, Michael Wimberly and Rubén González.
It is a benefit for the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Rockland, located in Pomona, N.Y. The congregation donated to Ellenbogen to help him after his New York City apartment suffered water damage after a fire. Ellenbogen's late grandmother had been a member of the congregation. Tickets are $10; or $5 for ages 12 and younger, available at www.uurocklandny.org or http://funofthedrum.eventbrite.com/#. For information, call the UUCR at 845-354-1789 and leave a message.
Master drummer Michael Wimberly, known for his work with artists ranging from P-Funk to Steve Coleman, leads a family-friendly interactive concert of global rhythms.
On guitars and percussion, Argentina's Rubén González and New York's David Ellenbogen will introduce electric rhythms and songs that will have both children and their parents dancing and jamming along. Teens and adults without children in tow will also enjoy the event. Some percussion will be provided.
Ellenbogen is an accomplished musician, radio DJ and concert producer. He has been a producer of Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals and a WKCR-FM 89.9 radio host. As a guitarist and vocalist, he has performed internationally and at home in New York. He performs everything from Hendrix to Bach and incorporates world music styles that span continents and centuries. Ellenbogen's company, World Music Education, provides group lessons with master musicians from all around the globe. He currently records and performs with Acoustic Mandala Project and Karavan Kosmiko.
Recently sailing down the river from Timbuktu after the war in Mali started, he was the last traveling musician to perform in a lot villages in Mali. With the greatest musicians from Mali, he's performing and producing concerts and radio shows in NYC. Many of the musicians are from a caste in which all their families have been musicians since the 14th century.
Wimberly has collaborated with Steve Coleman on many projects, live and in the studio, including the creation of The Five Elements (including David Gilmore and Don Byron). In addition to being a drummer and percussionist, Wimberly is a composer and has written for the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater and Joffrey Ballet. Although his percussive repertoire is replete with traditional rhythms, Wimberly is known for playing cutting-edge music involving a meld of visuals and audio, not to mention a penchant for contemporary jazz.
He is a member of The Collective (formerly Drummers' Collective). He has performed/recorded with P-Funk, Steve Coleman, Mama Tongue, and Charles Gayle.
González is coming out with an album of music for kids that's pretty amazing. He is a composer and guitarist originally from San Juan, Argentina, where he studied classical guitar. In New York City, he has studied and performed in the African American tradition, jazz, blues and Afro Caribbean music. He's been a teaching artist in New York City public schools for more than a decade, focusing on early childhood and percussion orchestra as well as general music.
The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Rockland invites everyone to join the fun on March 3.

- The Recorder
The wait is over.
Two years and countless debates after the Charles County Planning Commission first began drafting the 2012 comprehensive plan, the controversial document passed during Monday night's meeting by a 5-2 vote.
Commission Chairman Stephen Bunker and member Joseph Tieger, both long-standing opponents of the plan that passed, cast the dissenting votes.
In April, the board held the last public hearing on the matter, an event that drew citizens from all across the county and from all walks of life to voice their opinion on the matter for the board's consideration. Following a 10-day period that left the record open to allow for new commentary, county Planning and Growth Management staff compiled the submitted commentary for the board. This began a review-and-debate process that spanned several meetings and ultimately produced the draft that was passed Monday.
The Charles County commissioners still must vote on the plan before it becomes county law. In April, the commissioners replaced former Planning Commission member Louis Grasso and then-Chairman Courtney Edmonds with members Gilbert "Buddy" Bowling and Kenneth Smith, both of whom voted in favor of the document before the commission Monday night.
Despite the high-volume turnout at past meetings in which the plan was discussed, Monday's meeting only drew two speakers during the designated public appearances time. Indian Head resident Ed Joell spoke against the plan, and Grasso spoke for it.
From the start, Joell said, he was skeptical about the commission's intentions when it came to devising the plan. The compromise, Joell said, that was reached during the early stages — a "merged scenario" containing more curbs on growth from public input than the plan the commission passed Monday — was "dismantled."
"This process was transparent in that we could all watch it happen, but it was like watching an accident that you couldn't stop," Joell said. "In my experience, I've never seen a government commission less open and less concerned with the affairs of people. ... In my opinion, no nonelected body should be given the ability to make crucial decisions that will impact all the people in the county from now until far into the future. The comprehensive plan should have been left in the hands of professionals ... with approval from the county board of commissioners."
Paraphrasing former President Gerald Ford, Grasso opened his remarks by saying, "Our long community nightmare is finally over ... I hope."
Grasso then urged the board to pass the plan posthaste.
"I recognize that the plan is not perfect, but rarely does any piece of legislation reach that status," Grasso said. "There are areas, in my view, that could be tweaked but tweaked only."
Grasso went on to suggest the board work with PGM staff to develop a program aimed toward protecting property rights, similar to a transferable development rights program.
When it came time for the vote, Tieger was the first of the commission members to voice his stance.
"I consider the plan inadequate in several respects," Tieger said. "The plan ignores the advice of federal and state agencies and ... lacks any means of protecting the land in the county. We've made all these comments in the past."
Bunker simply said he would not vote for the plan.
"In my opinion, this is the wrong plan at a critical time for Charles County," Bunker said. "While the state and other counties are looking forward in their planning, this plan is regressive. This plan assumes a future development pattern based on past development and old thinking. ... This plan threatens both the environment and the fiscal health of Charles County, in my opinion."
The plan now will be passed to the Charles County commissioners for review and final approval before being sent on to the state. Speaking in a phone interview Tuesday morning, Commissioner Ken Robinson (D) said he was disappointed with the outcome, although it was "certainly no surprise."
The process became "hijacked," Robinson said.
"It was clear that path would leave out our staff. ... It will now ultimately be up to us ... and I hope we take a much more progressive approach," he said.
Commissioners' Vice President Reuben B. Collins II (D) spoke more hesitantly than his colleague.
"This is one additional step. Obviously we'll take the time to review the plan, and whether we approve or disapprove, it's all a part of this process that has taken nearly two and a half years," Collins said. "Each plan has been made to try and improve on the former one, so it's hard to say what could have been done better."
The planning commission and the county commissioners will meet to discuss the plan at a date that has yet to be determined.

"In this class are quiet, hard-working wonderful heros. Some were rogues and did not start out that way but all have ended up in the same place."
Principal Tony Pavia was describing the students who have gone above and beyond in their outstanding service to their classmates and to the community.
"Sometimes there are just not enough awards to go around," Pavia told them.
And so, the seniors serving on The Leadership Team were recognized at an awards dinner on May 26. Each received a small plaque and a big hug from the outgoing principal.
formed the team four years ago during her first year as assistant principal with school psychologist Rossella Fanelli when the Class of 2011 were freshmen.
Their intent was to build leadership potential, have more students take an active role in the school, increase the positive school climate and decrease disciplinary issues in this particular class.
"This was the class with 'the reputation,' Bartz said, "and now is probably the best class that has ever graduated from NCHS,"
"Without question!" Pavia added.
The team has been recognized as a top leadership group in the State of Connecticut for mentoring younger students, emergency crisis planning and alcohol and drug peer education programs and especially their anti-bullying efforts.
" was begun two years ago to combat bullying and otherwise "mean" behavior.
More than 100 leaders in the Class of 2011 were trained by the Anti-Defamation League and have changed the climate of the school. The program's common vocabulary of "Ally, Target and Perpetrator" has encouraged bystanders to become allies and created a new respect for diversity on campus.
"When I was in high school, I would not have had the guts to step up," Bartz told the students.
Ryyan Taylor is in his first year with "Names Can Hurt" said, "It was an honor to be part of it. I really like helping kids out and having the opportunity to work with all these great people."
"It's been a really empowering experience and I've learned a lot about the people I've been working with," said Jasmine Nelson.
Isabella Carrillo values the uniting factor of everyone joining together to accomplish something to benefit other classmates. "Names Can Hurt" especially helped us reach out to other students that you normally would not have the motivation to speak to," she said.
"Mrs. Bartz and I both get to graduate with you as a proud member of the Class of 2011," Pavia told the students.
Next year, Pavia will serve as the of Trinity Catholic High School and Bartz will become the of Pleasantville High School.
Again, Pavia acknowledged the quiet heros who set a tone in the school during his nine years that he said was unprecedented.
"I am proud and more importantly, I love you — that's the truth."

Original recipe yields 24 rice balls
- Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the rice, and add the garlic, bay leaf and salt. Return to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until rice is tender. Remove from heat, discard garlic and bay leaf, and allow to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine the prosciutto, mozzarella cheese, and basil. Pour 2 teaspoons of the olive oil over, and toss to coat.
- Stir 3 egg whites and the Parmesan cheese into the rice until well blended. Stir the resulting rice mixture into the mozzarella and basil mixture until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place bread crumbs in one shallow bowl, and whisk together 2 remaining egg whites and 1 teaspoon of olive oil in another shallow bowl.
- Wet hands, and shape the rice mixture into 24 balls. Dip each ball in the egg whites, then coat with bread crumbs. Deep fry the rice balls a few at a time until golden brown, about 30 seconds per batch. Drain on paper towels, and serve hot.

While I'm sure that this recipe is great as written, there are a few "technical" things that I want to clear up. It is really known as arancini and should be made first as a risotto and then the cold leftovers used to make the rice balls with a variety of fillings, including mozzarella, ground beef or lamb, proscuitto, peas and swiss cheese. Really great, Roman style street food or snack.
absolutely divine - can't go wrong with following this recipe to the letter. It is time consuming - but well worth the effort and would be sure to impress! The rice took at least 30 min to cool before I could proceed with the next step, so make sure you get the rice happening before you do anything else.
I've been looking for this recipe everywhere! Thanks so much! These are just like my Nonna's, except she put peas in the middle of hers and occasionally a bit of ground beef or lamb instead of the prosciutto. I made my rice balls pretty large, and molded them into a bell shape like my Nonna's. Delicious! Thanks again!

Johnson said she is fully dedicated in serving the students and community members at Jackson High, and supporting the teachers and leaders to ensure student success.
Her key goal is to challenge Jackson to become an award-winning school in a short period of time.
Johnson's previous experience has led her to this new role with a desire to
improve student performance in all areas at Jackson.
Under Johnson's leadership, Sequoyah Middle School made AYP consecutively for three years and moved from a "Needs Improvement" to "Distinguished."
Johnson was promoted to Principal of Jonesboro High School, and Jonesboro
High School made AYP for the first time since 2004.
As Jackson's new princial, Johnson resets the school's standards and shares her purpose, vision, and mission for the school year.
Among them:
- Driving for high performance from her students and educators in all areas.
- Ensure that all teachers perform well under the new Teacher Keys evaluation system and are prepared for strategic, effective instruction.
- For students to perform well under the new Common Core standards and achieve high results.
Her mission is to do everything possible to ensure that Jackson becomes an award school in all categories in CCRPI.

A Sudbury man who allegedly punched a woman in the face after breaking into her apartment Saturday is out on $10,000 cash bail.
"He entered the apartment and threatened to kill the female victim and punched her in the nose with a closed fist," said Det. Scott DeCiero of the Community Services Bureau of the Marlborough Police Department.
When police arrived at the scene, they found the woman bleeding from the nose, but she refused medical attention.
The man who allegedly hit her, later identified as Michael Koenig, 50, of 82 Phillips Road in Sudbury reportedly broke into the bedroom window of the victim's apartment on Broadmeadow Road shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday night. He then threatened to kill the woman and man in the apartment before striking the woman, according to Det. DeCiero.

The female victim reported that Koenig left when she went to call 911. He fled the scene in a black Mercedes, according to the police report.
He posted $10,000 cash bail on Monday and has a pre-trial hearing set for April 8, according to court documents. He has been charged with armed burglary, vandalizing property, assault and battery and two counts of threatening to commit a crime. The armed burglary charge stems from terms in state law that cause breaking into a person's house and assaulting them at night to fall into the armed burglary category, said Det. DeCiero.

The President didn't break a lot of new policy ground in last night's speech, but one thing he did do was mention an idea that I believe was pioneered by Judy Feder and David Cutler for CAP. The idea is that health reform can contain "failsafe" cost control measures that are politically unpalatable but will be slated to phase in if hoped-for savings don't emerge from other measures.

Whether you've gone secondhand to save money, save the environment or save yourself from chucking separates that don't seem to go with anything in your closet, there's something distinctly satisfying about scoring a long lost designer piece, vintage poster or leather jacket that's been off the market for decades. Doesn't get much more exclusive than that.
But which Montreal vintage shops, friperies and secondhand stores should be on every fashionista's shortlist? I asked FASHION Magazine contributor Ashley Joseph to share some of her valuable know-how, in the name of keeping it simple for people who just don't have time to figure out where the best hot spots are hiding. Vintage shopping practically needs to be a weekly habit to get the kind of insight Ashley's got and hey, I'm still working on making weekends a weekly habit.
So. Which Montreal vintage shops made the cut?

You Can Take Your Gluten, And Shovel It
It's been a snowy winter to remember here in New York (and throughout much of the country!). One snowstorm after another has dropped feet upon feet of the white stuff. I, for one, am loving it. I can't get enough snow.
Most of my coworkers, family and friends in New York, on the other hand, have been less than enthused. They're tired of driving in it. They're tired of shoveling it. They're simply tired of it. Period.
Not me. Although I walk to work, each morning of a snowstorm I go out early and shovel around the car, so that Kelli and the girls can get out if they need to. When I come home from work, I shovel the back deck behind our house, partly to maintain access to the grill for cooking, but also because - this may sound crazy - I like shoveling snow. It's weird, I know. But true.
All winter long, I've been shoveling that snow into one giant pile. After the most recent snowfall, it was upwards of six feet tall, and probably 8 or more feet in diameter. A lot of folks would simply see it as a big old pile of snow, or as the byproduct of a lot of unpleasant manual labor. I saw it as a golden opportunity.
I took my metal avalanche shovel (the plastic snow shovel I'd been using wasn't strong enough to handle the densely compacted snow) and hollowed the mound of snow into a kind of igloo. Then it was time for fun, fun, fun. Marin loved it! (There's a connection to gluten here...hang with me...)
Sometimes, I think it's easy - especially when first diagnosed with a condition that warrants a gluten-free diet - to see going gluten-free as the unpleasant mound of snow. It's a negative, a liability. That's a shame, because going gluten-free is actually a super fun igloo.
Now keep in mind, I'm not talking about going gluten-free being some kind of silver lining, or a "glass is half full" situation, or a case of making lemonade from lemons. All of those metaphors assume a negative starting point, one from which you try to find the positive. I reject that idea. Being sick, with diminished quality of life, pre-gluten-free was the negative. Going gluten-free is inherently a positive thing. If pre-gluten-free was a dirty mound of snow, then going gluten-free is a gorgeous snowy igloo of fun. Know what I'm saying?
In fact, going gluten-free was just the entrance to the igloo, and inside, I found all sorts of cool things I wouldn't have if I had never looked at that mound of snow and decided to tunnel into it.
For example:
1. In abandoning gluten and the gluten-containing grains (wheat, barley, rye), I discovered an entirely new (to me) set of alternative gluten-free grains that have brought wonderful diversity to my cooking and baking...quinoa, millet, sorghum, amaranth.
2. The necessity of scrutinizing ingredients labels carefully has made me much more aware of what I'm putting in my body (and what I don't want to be putting into my body). As a result, I've purged high fructose corn syrup, refined processed foods, preservatives, artificial colors, and other "objectionables" from my diet.
3. Going gluten-free pushed us even more toward from-scratch cooking. This helped us to better preserve the food traditions of our families, passed down through generations, and also deepened our understanding of techniques and ingredients, and why they're used in certain recipes and how they function.
4. Us being gluten-free brought out a new aspect of the love of family and friends, who graciously and quite willingly adjusted their own cooking to accommodate our family's dietary restrictions.
5. Lastly, going gluten-free connected us to you, the amazing network that is the gluten-free community.
Of course, my list of 5 things is just the tip of the iceberg (or is it the tip of the igloo?). What wonderful and amazing discovery did you make in going gluten-free? Leave a comment and tell us about the gluten-free igloo you found hiding in your own gluten-ous pile of snow.

I LOVE being gluten free! It has allowed me to have more excuses to play in the kitchen! Plus, I eat so much healthier, since I've stopped eating out on a regular basis! I've been able to develop a great appreciation for healthier foods, such as veggies!
I also love playing in snow (however, not so much a fan of living in it!). Thanks for sharing a fun post and pictures of your cute family!

Fabulous post, Pete! I read this earlier and thought I'll come back and share, but really there is so much good that has come out of living gluten free for me, that it would take me forever to include in this comment. LOL, but true. Let's just say I couldn't agree more with you. Great photos of you guys!

Amen! This is truly a great way to look at it. It took me a few months to come around, but I to can see the many blessings in this MOUND OF SNOW! :)

First, understand that the separation reaction is as much about the mother, grandmother, or the caregiver who drops off the child as it is about the child himself. Many caregivers are embarrassed by their child's reaction, worried about the extra work it creates for the teacher, or frustrated by their lack of control. I think most are distressed by their child's sadness, fear, and intensity - feeling those emotions themselves. You can help the caregiver by reassuring him or her that this reaction is common, that it doesn't bother you, and that you have a plan to help.
The Plan. Create a drop-off plan together with the caregiver that includes clear routines which will be used every day. Keeping the routine exactly the same is very important for helping the anxious child to be able to predict and trust what will happen each day. For example, the plan might be as follow:
- Caregiver and child come into classroom and put things away.
- Child spends 5 minutes showing his caregiver one of the activities he's going to do that morning.
- Teacher joins the caregiver and child while they say good bye with a hug or other gesture.
- The child remains with the teacher (perhaps being held if he won't voluntarily let go of the caregiver) and waves goodbye as the caregiver leaves.
- The teacher consoles the child as needed, acknowledging how sad it is to say goodbye and reminding him when his caregiver will return (in concrete terms such as "after small group time")
- The teacher helps the child find a favorite activity to get involved in as a distraction.
- The teacher calls the parent after 10-15 minutes to let him or her know that the child is okay and has calmed down - or is calming down and doing better.
What separation strategies have worked for you? Please share in the comments below!

Rick Ungar, Contributor
I write from the left on politics and policy.
Donald Trump has released a video on YouTube containing the "big news" he promised would change the presidential election.
It turns out, it's not so much big news as a silly challenge. What a shock.
But why quibble over details when those pesky items have never been particularly high on the Trump agenda?
In his latest effort to fill his need for more attention than any human has the right to crave without incurring some serious psychiatric bills, Trump has promised to make a five million dollar donation to any charity of President Obama's choice if the President, in return, "opens up and gives his college records and applications … and if he gives his passport applications and records."
There is a catch—Mr. Obama must provide the demanded documents by 5:00 p.m. on October 31, 2012.
Obviously, Trump is attempting to create a Catch-22 for the Obama campaign. If Obama were to actually respond to the challenge and provide the materials, the final week of the campaign would be all about the veracity of the data provided, with hourly status reports from Trump Headquarters updating the state of the verification efforts performed by Trump's private security staff. You remember them. They're the same people that are, apparently, still lost somewhere in Hawaii trying to prove that Obama is not a U.S. citizen. And, of course, if the President ignores this foolishness, as he no doubt will and should, Trump will try to make Obama's giving him the cold shoulder the focus of the final week of the campaign.
In Pictures: The Most Scathing Rants, Tweets, And Quotes From The 1%
Cute. Maybe Trump will make a similar offer to Governor Romney if Romney will agree to provide a few more of his tax returns. That would be nice.
And speaking of Governor Romney, who has made Donald Trump one of his surrogates, I do hope he is proud of the way his campaign is being represented. He might, however, want to consider the potential for backlash as independent American voters are not as stupid as Trump believes.
Now, should the President decide to meet the terms of the challenge, Trump promises to issue a five million dollar check within one hour after the President releases the materials.
So, in the event the President is tempted to take Trump up on his offer, I'd like to offer Mr. Obama one piece of advice—
Make Trump put the money up in cash and in advance of your delivering anything to America's latest incarnation of P.T. Barnum disguised as a real estate developer rather than the circus huckster he truly is.
I don't know about the President, but there is no way I'm taking a check from Donald Trump. Make The Donald put it up in cash, in advance and into the hands of an independent third party—or tell him to go back under the oversized desk he crawled out from under.
In fact, maybe the President could reciprocate by offering Trump the same five million contribution to the charity of Trump's choice if Mr. Trump would do America the ultimate public service of disappearing and leaving us, finally, in peace.
I'm up for putting a few bucks towards that effort.
Here's the video-

OK I'm torn here. On one hand I want to smack you on the head for giving Donald any air time what so ever. On the other I realize that he's going to get air time anyways, be it here or somewhere else and it's nice to see that once again "The Donald" is just trying to keep himself in the news and doesn't really have anything serious to say.
Now if Donald was in the slightest bit clever he could have made it a contest between Obama and Romney. $5 mill to the winner (Romney would have to release his tax files to win).
OK so I'll let you off with a warning, just don't start reporting on Honey Boo boo, well unless she runs for president.
Cue right-wing wackjobs with the "if he had it he'd provide it, and if he cared about making a $5 million dollar donation to some worthy and needy charity he'd put his pride aside and ante up! So much for caring about the 47%" and such drivel… Trump is such a tool.
It's incredible that since you already know how bad it will look if Obama doesn't, that you have to preempt such a statement with "well if they say what's on everyone's mind they'll be "wackjobs"."
Yeah.. really "nuts" for stating the obvious. If someone would give you $5M would you not take it just for revealing information about your past?
I can hear liberals making excuses already, it's unbelievable how people still think Obama is their messiah after he betrayed them and lied to get into office and now they want 4 more years so he can double our deficit again, still keep unemployment at 8% while the amount of people who give up on looking for work that are not counted as "unemployed" on the official metric can continue to skyrocket while gas prices can double again and food costs can continue to skyrocket. And then after serving in Senate for a term before he was elected he and the liberal majority from 2006 onward were in charge of drafting the budget and the economy is so screwed up that they still say it's republicans fault as if Bush should have vetoed the budget bill that the liberal majority drafted in 2006-2008.
How can we not hold ALL presidential candidates to utmost scrutiny and require at least the type of information that is required at a job application?
Obama has given less than 1% of his income to charity, so he's hardly "compassionate" like "liberal left wing loonies" say he is unlike Romney who gave 29% of his income to charity.
You think there's not independents and democrats that would love to see Obama take Trumps money and give it to the needy? $5M is some REAL cash here… sure it's not the 16 Trillion in debt we are, but it can make a big difference on several individual lives.
You think there's not people homeless without a job and without a car and hungry that couldn't use a few bucks? Of course this gambit will make trump look bad too, but not any worse than usual, and it will make Obama look bad if he doesn't divert resources, however small away from the campaign to compensate.
Obama already paid $1-$2M to hide information about his past, let's see if he'll take $5M in charity to keep it that way. If Obama's past is so bad that it's worse than people not knowing why he's hiding it, it should be cause for concern.
This gambit by Trump probably will backfire to some extent, but who cares, it's free money, take it.
"Teh Donald, I don't even want your $5M. I'll release my school records if Mitt releases 10 years of tax returns. Fair enough?"
Mitt would jump at that offer, too bad the Obama team never made it. Fack is he is not transparent as he said he would be and IS hiding his college and passport records. What's he afraid of? Let me answer, the American people finding out the truth. Obama should be ashamed!
LOL – this guy is tragically funny. I think the Onion's nailed it…
I don't know if I should share this or not Mr. Unger, but I once had a dream about Mr. Trump, and in the end I just couldn't compromise my values over financial gain or at any cost.
Well Ricky, I have to conceed one point and that is that Trumps hype over his big revelation was really over done. However you seem to miss the fact, like most main stream media that the President is hiding something. He spent millions to keep his college and passport records from public view which can only mean one thing…HE IS HIDING SOMETHING!!! At least Trump is asking the question and trying to get Obama to come clean and actually become the "Transparent" President he promised to be. A job the media, yourself included, has not done. Seems to me Trump is carying your water and all you can do is attack him for it. Go back to journalism school to learn how to ask the pertinent questions and stop attacking the person forced to do your job.
Why not one can never have too many BFF's. But seriously Rick, the President has refused to release his college and passport records, something every president in recent history has done. Why? If there was nothing there he would have released them with light speed. He promised to be the most transparent President ever and has not lived up to that promise. This should not be an issue 2 weeks before an election but this question is not new. He should have released the information years ago really. We have no clue what kind of grades he received in college even. Come on the American people deserve better.
PS. This should apply to any Presidential candidate Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, whatever.

Instead, I find myself in the company of James Brown's band and his longtime personal manager, Charles Bobbit, approximately fourteen people whom I will soon in varying degrees get to know quite well but whom for now treat me genially, skeptically, shyly but mostly obliviously. They've got work to do. They're working on the new James Brown record. At the moment they're laying down a track without him, because James Brown asked them to, and because since they're waiting around, they might as well do something — though they do this with a degree of helpless certainty that they are wasting their time. It is nearly always a useless occupation, if you are James Brown's band, to lay down a track while he is not present. Yet the band members do it a lot, wasting time in this way, because their time is not their own. So they record. Today's effort is a version of "Hold On, I'm A-Comin'," the classic Sam and Dave song.
The setting is a pleasant modern recording studio in a bland corner of Augusta's suburbs, far from where the statue resides. The band occupies a large room, high-ceilinged, padded in black, with a soundproof-windowed booth for the drummer's kit and folding chairs in a loose circle for the band, plus innumerable microphones and cables and amplifiers and pickups running across the floor. On the other side of a large window from this large chamber is a room full of control panels, operated by an incredibly patient man named Howard. It is into this room that James Brown and the band will intermittently retreat in order to listen to playback, to consider what they've recorded. Down the hall from these two rooms is a tiny suite with a kitchen (unused) and a dining room with a table that seats seven or eight at a time (used constantly, for eating takeout).
The band is three guitarists and one bassist and three horn players and two percussionists — a drummer in the soundproof booth and a conga player in the central room. They're led by Hollie Farris, a trim, fiftyish, white trumpeter with a blond mustache and the gentle, acutely Mid-western demeanor of an accountant or middle manager, yet with the enduring humor of a lifelong sideman; a hipster's tolerance. Hollie now pushes the younger guitarists as they hone the changes in "Hold On, I'm A-Comin'." Howard is recording the whole band simultaneously; this method of recording "live in the studio" is no longer how things are generally done. Hollie also sings to mark the vocal line, in a faint but endearing voice.
One of the young guitarists, cheating slightly on the "live in the studio" ethos, asks to be allowed to punch in his guitar solo. This is Damon Wood: thirtysomething, also blond, with long hair and a neat goatee. Damon, explaining why he screwed up the solo, teases Hollie for his singing: "I can't hear myself with Engelbert Humperdinck over there." Howard rewinds the tape and Damon reworks the solo, then endears himself to me with a fannish quiz for the other guitarists — Keith Jenkins, another white guy, but clean-cut, and Daryl Brown, a light-skinned, roly-poly black man who turns out to be James Brown's son. "What classic funk song am I quoting in this solo?" Damon asks. Nobody can name it, not that they seem to be trying too hard. " 'Lady Marmalade,' " Damon says.
"Well," says Hollie, speaking of the track, "we got one for him to come in and say, 'That's terrible.' "
Keith, a young man with a trace of disobedience in his eyes, asks if they're going to put the horns on the track. Hollie shakes his head. "He might be less inclined to throw it out," Keith suggests. "Give it that big sound. If all he hears are those guitars, he'll start picking it apart."
Hollie offers a wry smile. He doesn't want to add the horns. Hollie, I'll learn, has been James Brown's bandleader and arranger on and off since the early Eighties.
It is at that moment that everything changes. Mr. Bobbit explains: "Mr. Brown is here."

A Christmas concert this evening (Saturday) by Shawn McDonald, a renowned Christian singer, to benefit brain-injured teenager Ryan Buchanan of Orinda.
The concert is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday at Creekside Community Church, 1350 Danville Blvd. in Alamo.
Ryan Buchanan is in a persistent vegetative state after a sand tunnel collapse in the summer of 2011 deprived his brain of oxygen for more than 15 minutes. On a church outing to Sunset State Beach near Watsonville, after finishing his junior year at Miramonte High School, 17-year-old Ryan was connecting two deep sand holes with a tunnel when it all collapsed on him.
Proceeds are to go toward building an addition on the family's house in Orinda to allow the family to care for Ryan from the comfort of their home.
Listen to McDonald perform "Rise" here.
