Candoni Pinot Grigio
Candoni - Veneto - Italy
The grayish blue fruits of the Pinot Grigio grape varietal are used in the production of a very wide, and seemingly ever widening, range of quality white wines. These grapes pick up much of the features of their terroir, and as such, it isn't unusual to find find Pinot Grigio wines which have something of an alpine character, or hold slightly ashen, smoky flavors soaked up from various soils. They have a naturally high sugar content, which, depending on how they are handled and processed either leads to them producing semi-sweet wines, or drier, more fermented wines, or even wines with a relatively high alcohol content. These grapes prefer cooler climates, and as such are grown in several countries around the world which have strong oceanic breezes or shady valley regions.
The wine region of Veneto in north-eastern Italy has long been associated with fine wines, but also with the spirit of innovation which is typical of the region and which made it an important area of Europe throughout history. Indeed, today Veneto's wine-makers are recognized as the most modernized in all of Italy, using contemporary techniques to make the best of the high quality grape varietals which flourish in the region. These include the wonderful Garganega varietal, which is the grape used for the production of Veneto's widely loved Soave white wine, and Glera and Verduzzo, which are both used in more traditional wines of the region. The region benefits from a cooler climate, but one which is sheltered by the Alps, producing balanced and consistent climatic conditions ideal for viticulture.
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' the land of wines so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

I had given up lip glosses for a long time. I hated the formula and most of the time it dried out my lips, but NYX butter gloss is the perfect lip gloss. I got two free in an Ipsy bag in eclair. I love topping off my lip stain balms throughout the day with the lip gloss. Maybe strange but since I have very dry lips I put on some lip balm before the lip gloss. I will definitely repurchase but I currently have 4 lip balms already. I hope they still are making them when I get around to buying more. I took one lippie off for the fact that I have to wipe off a bit of gloss on the side of the tube before applying because too much is dispensed. Great gloss with lip balm to use to liven up the color from the morning and moisturize lips. I don't like carrying lip colors that can melt in my purse so this gloss is the perfect alternative.

I Have this in shade creme brûlée.
I love this so much! I am very fussy with lip products (as a girl with over 200 lip balms. Yes. I know.) this is amazing!
It moisturises and just glides on your lips while giving a subtle colour which is perfect for everyday as I'm not a bright lip kind of girl (well, for everyday business that is).
They also smell amazing, like vanilla cupcakes!
I will definitely be repurchasing these in more colours and can't wait to try more!

Pretty great lip gloss with a variety of colors. No stickiness or dryness from this gloss. The only thing is that for darker skin tones this gloss is not true to color. Many of the shades just appeared as a bright pink on me despite the outer packaging, so keep that in mind.

I agree with most of what has been said already, but I would like to also add that I have naturally large & wrinkly lips (it's genetic I guess) and this gloss is one of few that doesn't settle into the lines and appears extremely flattering.
The only downfall is that the shades are somewhat deceptive (Apple Streudal, for example, does not show up coral on me but baby pink). I also think a lot of the variations of pink (nearly the whole lot of them) end up looking nearly identical when worn. Creme Brûlée is my favorite thus far, I look forward to trying the red shades!

This is a nice product. Not too expensive (I don't think a lip gloss should be), but not the most luxurious packaging either. Well, you get what you pay for. It feels very pleasant and wears well on the lips.
Crème Brulee is a beautiful nude that is friendly on my skin tone, while still being nude and not pink or pink-nude (hard to find a nude that looks natural on cool toned skin). I am very pleased, wear this overtop many lipsticks and lip liners to mute their color, and would purchase again. Might replace my favorite nude lip gloss, MAC Boy Bait, especially for the price.

The best, and I mean THE BEST, pigmented lip gloss out there. It's only 5 dollars so it isn't expensive. You don't know how many lip glosses I have been through looking for a good balance of color and gloss which didn't make my lips feel sticky or dry. I bought the color creme brûlée and it is the perfect soft pink/nude I have ever tried. Definitely going back to buy the other colors.

Just got this gloss today and LOVE it. There was a special deal on Amazon for a 3-pac, so I got apple strudel, eclair, and cherry pie. The colors are gorgeous. I have very pigmented lips so I was afraid the colors wouldn't make that much of a difference, but they did! Neat application and has a nice, smooth texture. My favorite would have to be apple strudel, a peachy pink, but I love them all! It has a very glossy finish, but it looks so polished and kissable! Extremely happy with this and would definitely buy again. 5/5
UPDATE: I ate a popsicle and this gloss stayed on perfectly. WOW.

Kentucky Judge to Review Christian Health Care Case
A judge has scheduled a hearing for later this month in a longstanding dispute between the commonwealth and a Christians-only health care plan. The case pits the state Department of Insurance against Medi-Share, a Florida-based cost-sharing ministry that helps pay medical bills for churchgoers across the country. Lawyers for the state have asked Franklin County Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate to hold Medi-Share in contempt of court for continuing to operate in Kentucky. Medi-Share asked for a hearing to explain changes the ministry has made to comply with Kentucky insurance regulations. The legal battle involves how tightly the state can regulate Medi-Share, which serves nearly 40,000 people in 49 states, including more than 700 in Kentucky. The hearing is set for August 30.

Security Clearances:
Tax Debts Owed by DOD Employees and Contractors
GAO-14-686R: Published: Jul 28, 2014. Publicly Released: Jul 28, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4749

What GAO Found
In summary, GAO found that about 83,000 Department of Defense (DOD) employees and contractors who held or were determined eligible for secret, top secret, or sensitive compartmented information (SCI) clearances, or related interim clearances, had unpaid federal tax debt totaling more than $730 million as of June 30, 2012. DOD reported to GAO that about 3.2 million civilian and military employees and contractorsheld or were approved for similar clearances from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2011, which was the time frame for GAO's analysis. According to data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), about 34,000 of these 83,000 individuals (about 40 percent) with tax debt had a repayment plan with the IRS to pay back their debt as of June 30, 2012. GAO's analysis cannot be generalized to individuals that were granted eligibility for security clearances and were non-DOD employees of the executive branch, employees of the legislative branch, or employees of the intelligence community.
As part of this work, GAO also identified individuals with unpaid tax debts who also had access to classified information. DOD officials stated that individualshaving access to classified information pose a greater risk because they have more opportunity toactually compromise classified information than a person who is only eligible to access classified information. GAO found that about 26,000 of the 83,000 DOD employees and contractors with eligibilities who owed taxes (about 31 percent) had access to classified information, and they owed about $229 million in federal taxes as of June 2012.
In September 2013, GAO reported that additional mechanisms could improve federal agencies' ability to detect delinquent federal tax debts owed by individuals determined eligible for security clearance, but statutory privacy protections limit access to this information (GAO-13-733). During that prior work, officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) told GAO that they had formed a working group in 2012, in collaboration with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and other federal agencies to, among other things, explore whether an automated process for reviewing federal tax compliance could be established. GAO recommended that ODNI, in consultation with OPM and the Department of the Treasury, evaluate the feasibility of federal agencies routinely obtaining federal debt information from the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) system, or a similar automated mechanism. TOP is a centralized offset program, administered by the Department of the Treasury, to collect delinquent debts owed to federal agencies and states. Both ODNI and OPM concurred with GAO's September 2013 recommendation.
In June 2014, officials from ODNI's interagency working group stated that, due to the legal and logistical challenges of obtaining sufficient federal tax compliance information from the Treasury's TOP system, the working group began exploring additional sources of information, such as information on tax filing as well as tax debt status, to provide automated federal tax-compliance checks for the purposes of investigating and adjudicating clearance applicants, as well as for ongoing monitoring of current clearance holders' tax-debt status. In addition, ODNI officials stated that in January 2014 the IRS assigned a program manager to oversee the development or modification of IRS systems to accomplish automated tax compliance checks. Officials from the interagency working group stated that they are also exploring whether an exception to section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, which generally prohibits disclosure of taxpayer data to federal agencies and others, would be advisable to facilitate the sharing of taxpayer information for the purpose of making security clearance determinations. The officials stated their goal was to establish an automated federal tax compliance check by 2017, but the officials also noted that efforts to develop an automated system to perform a federal tax compliance check were still in the initial planning stages.
Why GAO Did This Study
According to ODNI, as of October 2013, over 5.1 million civilian and military employees and contractors held a securityclearance. Federal laws do not prohibit an individual with unpaid federal taxes from holding a security clearance, but delinquent tax debt poses a potential vulnerability. This is the second of two reports that review the security-clearance process and mechanisms used to identify unpaid federal tax-debt information of applicants, employees, and contractors. GAO's first report focused on civilian employees and contractors in the executive branch, excluding DOD employees and contractors as well as known employees of intelligence agencies. This report (1) identifies the number of individuals with unpaid federal taxes, if any, who are in DOD's security-clearance database, and the magnitude of any unpaid federal tax debt; and (2) provides an update on GAO's September 2013 recommendation.
GAO compared DOD's security-clearance information to IRS data on known tax debts. GAO also reviewed relevant laws and regulations and interviewed officials from ODNI, the Department of the Treasury, OPM, and DOD.
What GAO Recommends
GAO is not making any new recommendations.

Why exactly do you feel this way? What problems do you see with it? I see some benefits in the mirror method like that the mirror list is cached locally (on apt-get update) so the mirror service is hit less often. Also if the central service is down apt can still use the cached local info. Plus it supports automatic retry if a mirror fails. Thanks, Michael

How to Use This Book and TestWare®
When Should I Start Studying?
It is never too early to start studying for the GACE 022, 023 Mathematics Assessment. The earlier you begin, the more time you will have to sharpen your skills. Do not procrastinate. Cramming is not an effective way to study because it does not allow you the time you need to think about the content, review the content required in the objectives, and take the practice tests.
What Do the Review Sections Cover?
The targeted review in this book is designed to help you sharpen the skills you need to approach the GACE 022, 023 Mathematics Assessment, as well as provide strategies for attacking the questions.
Each teaching area included in the GACE 022, 023 Mathematics Assessment is examined in a separate chapter. The skills required for all areas are extensively discussed to optimize your understanding of what the examination covers.
Your schooling has taught you most of the information you need to answer the questions on the test. The education classes you took should have provided you with the know-how to make important decisions about situations you will face as a teacher. The review sections in this book are designed to help you fit the information you have acquired into the objectives specified on the GACE. Going over your class notes and textbooks together with the reviews provided here will give you an excellent springboard for passing the examination.
Studying for the GACE 022, 023 Mathematics Assessment
Choose the time and place for studying that works best for you. Some people set aside a certain number of hours every morning to study, while others prefer to study at night before going to sleep. Other people study off and on during the day—for instance, while waiting for a bus or during a lunch break. Only you can determine when and where your study time will be most effective. Be consistent and use your time efficiently. Work out a study routine and stick to it.
When you take the practice tests, simulate the conditions of the actual test as closely as possible. Turn off your television and radio, and sit down at a table in a quiet room, free from distraction. On completing a practice test, score it and thoroughly review the explanations to the questions you answered incorrectly; however, do not review too much at any one time. Concentrate on one problem area at a time by reviewing the question and explanation, and by studying the review in this guide until you are confident that you have mastered the material.
Keep track of your scores so you can gauge your progress and discover general weaknesses in particular sections. Give extra attention to the reviews that cover your areas of difficulty, so you can build your skills in those areas. Many have found the use of study or note cards very helpful for this review.
Test-Taking Tips
Although you may not be familiar with tests like the GACE, this book will acquaint you with this type of exam and help alleviate your test-taking anxieties. By following the seven suggestions listed here, you can become more relaxed about taking the GACE, as well as other tests.
Tip 1. Become comfortable with the format of the GACE. When you are practicing, stay calm and pace yourself. After simulating the test only once, you will boost your chances of doing well, and you will be able to sit down for the actual GACE with much more confidence.
Tip 2. Read all the possible answers. Just because you think you have found the correct response, do not automatically assume that it is the best answer. Read through each choice to be sure that you are not making a mistake by jumping to conclusions.
Tip 3. Use the process of elimination. Go through each answer to a question and eliminate as many of the answer choices as possible. If you can eliminate two answer choices, you have given yourself a better chance of getting the item correct, because only two choices are left from which to make your guess. Do not leave an answer blank. It is better to guess than not to answer a question on the GACE test because there is no additional penalty for wrong answers.
Tip 4. Place a question mark in your answer booklet next to the answers you guessed, and then recheck them later if you have time.
Tip 5. Work quickly and steadily. You will have four hours to complete the test, so the amount of time you spend will depend upon whether you take both subtests in one test session. Taking the practice tests in this book or on the CD will help you learn to budget your precious time.
Tip 6. Learn the directions and format of the test. This will not only save time but also will help you avoid anxiety (and the mistakes caused by being anxious).
Tip 7. When taking the multiple-choice portion of the test, be sure that the answer oval you fill in corresponds to the number of the question in the test booklet. The multiple-choice test is graded by machine, and marking one wrong answer can throw off your answer key and your score. Be extremely careful.
Before the Test
On the morning of the test, be sure to dress comfortably so you are not distracted by being too hot or too cold while taking the test. Plan to arrive at the test center early. This will allow you to collect your thoughts and relax before the test and will also spare you the anguish that comes with being late. You should check your GACE Registration Bulletin to find out what time to arrive at the center.
What to Bring
Before you leave for the test center, make sure that you have your admission ticket. Your admission ticket lists your test selection, test site, test date, and reporting time. See the Test Selection http://www.gace.nesinc.com/GA4_whattobring.asp.
You must also bring two pieces of personal identification. One must be a current, government-issued identification, in the name in which you registered, bearing your photograph and signature, and one additional piece of identification (with or without a photograph). If the name on your identification differs from the name in which you are registered, you must bring official verification of the change (e.g., marriage certificate, court order).
You must bring several sharpened No. 2 pencils with erasers, because none will be provided at the test center. If you like, you can wear a watch to the test center. However, you cannot wear one that makes noise, because it might disturb the other test takers. Dictionaries, textbooks, notebooks, calculators, cell phones, beepers, PDAs, scratch paper, listening and recording devices, briefcases, or packages are not permitted. Drinking, smoking, and eating during the test are prohibited.
You may not bring any visitors, including relatives, children, and friends.You may bring a water bottle into the testing room, as long as it is clear without a label but with a tight lid. During testing, you will have to store your bottle under your seat.
Security Measures
As part of the identity verification process, your thumbprint will be taken at the test site. Thumbprints will be used only for the purpose of identity verification. If you do not provide a thumbprint, you will not be permitted to take the test and you will not receive a refund or a credit for the fee paid.
Enhanced security measures, including additional security screenings, may be required by test site facilities. If an additional screening is conducted, only screened persons will be admitted to the test site. If you do not proceed through the security screening, you will not be allowed to test and you will not receive a refund or credit of any kind.
Late Arrival Policy
If you are late for a test session, you may not be admitted. If you are permitted to enter, you will not be given any additional time for the test session. You will be required to sign a statement acknowledging this. If you arrive late and are not admitted, you will be considered absent and will not receive a refund or credit of any kind. You will need to register and pay again to test at a future administration.

The format of this study guide was very easy to understand. I teach middle school mathematics. I passed the high school certification tests 022 and 023 on the first try with the help of this book! The software was not that useful. It could not give you an accurate score because of the constructed response questions you will have to answer on the real test. The content reviews were wonderful. This book is a great choice.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

PSU's acclaimed TIGER company holding auditions
TIGER is a professional theater company at Plymouth State University, presenting productions to help children, schools, parents and communities deal proactively and positively with social issues and concerns facing children in schools today. Based on the anonymous writings of New Hampshire school children, TIGER incorporates live actors, puppets, theater, movement and music into its productions to try and reach school audiences with important messages children need to hear. Supported by the PSU College of Graduate Studies, TIGER is a collaborative effort between the M.Ed. programs in Integrated Arts and Counselor Education.
TIGER tours throughout New England each Wednesday–Friday from October through May. Rehearsals usually begin in early September. Since its debut in 2002, the company has toured to more than 400 different schools, some repeatedly, performing for more than 350,000 children across New England.
Current productions are: Bully Free You and Me for grades K-4, K-8 and 5-8.This program tackles the difficult issue of bullying in our schools through empowering the bystander. Let Your Star Shine! for grades K-6 encourages children to accept others, regardless of their differences. Just Between Friends, grades K-6 deals with conflict resolution and enhancing positive relationships between young people in schools. TIGER Teen Theatre, grades 5-8, features a group of talented high school actors addressing social issues relevant to middle schools today. Green TIGER helps children understand how important it is not to bully the environment.
Co-founder and Artistic Director, Trish Lindberg is professor of education and integrated arts and coordinator of the M.Ed. in integrated arts program at PSU. TIGER productions are created from children's writings by Lindberg, the TIGER actors and several composers who work with the educational theatre company.
TIGER has also won an Emmy for their television pilot, TIGER Takes On Bullying, performed at the state level for the New Hampshire Department of Education, regionally for the New England Theatre Conference (NETC), nationally for the American Alliance for Theatre and Education (AATE), and Internationally for the National Drama International Conference at Durham University in Durham, England, the ASSITEJ International Festival of Children's Theatre in Cairo, Egypt and most recently at the IDEA World Congress 2013 in Paris, France.

Foster grandparent program for Taylor Community
LACONIA — Dr. Laura Robertson of Audiology Specialists in Laconia recently returned from a four-day conference in Orlando, Fla., and shared some of what she learned with the Foster Grandparents group at their April meeting held at the Taylor Community.
"(Robertson) spoke to the group early last winter and they thoroughly enjoyed her energy and ability to make a complex topic easy to understand. They were more than happy to have her back again", remarked Anne Sanuth, Foster Grandparents Program Coordinator.
Robertson applauded them not only for their volunteerism with program, one of four run by The Friends Program, but for staying active and connected. Foster Grandparent volunteers work with children at schools, childcare centers, Head Starts and after-school programs in central and southern New Hampshire, with those who qualify receiving a stipend in exchange.
Explaining benefits they may be unaware of, Robertson pointed out to members of the group, "A recent study showed that women in Baltimore who volunteered to help children in kindergarten, showed better walking speed, better memory function and better social connections. As Foster Grandparents, you are engaging in similar activities and, I expect, reaping the same benefits."
The group learned that mental processing ability and skills can increase into the 70s, making it possible for someone with hearing loss to compensate by figuring out words they missed. Because of this they can often hide their hearing loss from those around them. As cognitive abilities decrease with age it becomes increasingly difficult to continue to compensate in this way.
They were surprised to find that loss of memory and lack of hearing are intricately related.
"Short-term memory requires the ability to process information, but our brains can only process so much at a time. When you're relying heavily on your cognitive skills to complete the information that was missed or heard incorrectly, the capacity to process information in to memory is limited," explained Robertson.
Several in the group have at some point been care providers for loved ones suffering from Alzheimer's, so they were particularly interested to hear of data indicating that Alzheimer's patients often show a decrease in forgetfulness when they start wearing hearing aids. Care providers report that, as a result, their burden is lessened within about six months of the hearing aid fitting.
Dr. Robertson has provided hearing care to residents of the Lakes Region since 1992. More information about Audiology Specialists is available at its website at or by calling 528-7700.

Window Treatments Don't Have to Be a Pane
Covering hard-to-fit windows can be a challenge. We have beautiful solutions, for corner windows, casements, skylights, dormers and more.
By: Rosemary Sadez Friedmann
Corner windows: If the windows meet at the corner with minimum space in-between, mount a track on the ceiling or just above the window frame and have the treatment draw back to the outside edges of the windows. Floor length or sill length is up to you. If you are mounting the track just above the window, you will want to cover it with a top treatment or make the track itself decorative. If ceiling-mounted, the track will become virtually invisible and you will not need additional treatment. If you prefer blinds, stick to vertical ones. Any horizontal blind or shade will snag at the corner where the windows meet.
Casement windows: If the windows are deep-set and open out, curtains can be mounted inside the frame. If floor-length or outside mount is preferable, a decorative rod or ceiling mount will work well. If the window opens into the room, you will need to mount the track outside and have the treatment clear the opening when drawn back so as to avoid catching on the open window. Blinds can be of the vertical or horizontal flavor if the window opens out. If it opens into the room, only the vertical blind will work. Here again, the treatment must be made wide enough to completely clear the opening.
Windows with sloping top: This is an architectural beauty. If possible, leave this window untreated. If sun and/or privacy prohibit leaving this window bare, draperies can be hung from the horizontal point down, thus leaving the sloped part untreated. Any type of blinds or shutter works well here.
Skylight: Though privacy is seldom the issue here, sunlight often is. Curtains can be fixed onto the window frame or mounted on a decorative pole and fastened to the ceiling around the window. Roller or vertical blinds can also be mounted; they come with special mechanisms that are mounted at reachable heights for opening and closing the treatment.
Horizontal windows: If these windows are off-center on the wall, you can create an illusion of symmetry by making one side of the window treatment extend farther beyond the edge of the window than the other. The draperies can meet in the middle of the wall instead of the center of the window. The illusion you've created will be that of a larger window that is centered on the wall.
Arched windows: As with the sloping top windows, these are best left untreated. If that is not possible, here again, treat the window from the horizontal point down. If you want to treat the arched part also, a semicircular shirred-on fabric can be custom-made to fit the arch. Wood shutters work beautifully on this type of window, and you can even cover the arch with wood slats, too.
Dormer window: These should be treated as casement windows. An interesting alternative would be to shirr fabric onto an oval or spring rod and attach to the beginning of the slope, away from the top of the window. Shirr the bottom onto another oval or spring rod and attach that end to the bottom of the window, thereby creating an angled window treatment.

Caribbean Chicken & Pineapple Kebabs with Banana Salad
From EatingWell: July/August 2011
A Caribbean-inspired marinade for these chicken-and-pineapple kebabs is flavored with pineapple juice, soy sauce, plenty of spices and spiked with rum. It's moderately spicy from the use of jalapeño, but not nearly as spicy as the well-known jerk marinade, which uses the extremely hot Scotch bonnet chile. If spicy-hot is not your thing, leave the jalapeño out or use half. The creamy banana salad is a soothing counterpoint, but skip it if you like.

Marinade & Chicken
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/3 cup dark rum
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
Creamy Banana Salad
- 1 cup reduced-fat or nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
- 1/2 teaspoon dark brown sugar, or to taste
- Pinch of ground nutmeg
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
- 3 almost-ripe medium bananas, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- Pinch of salt, or to taste
Basting Sauce & Kebabs
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup fresh pineapple pieces (1 inch)
- 1 sweet or red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- To marinate chicken: Puree pineapple juice, rum, soy sauce, scallions, jalapeño (if using), molasses, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, ginger, curry powder, coriander, cayenne, cinnamon and allspice in a blender until smooth. Place chicken in a 1-gallon sealable plastic bag, add the marinade and turn to coat. Refrigerate, turning occasionally, for at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.
- To prepare banana salad: About 20 minutes before you're ready to prepare the kebabs, combine yogurt, onion, cilantro (if using), mint, lime zest, brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Gently stir in bananas and salt. Adjust seasoning with more brown sugar and/or salt, if desired.
- To prepare basting sauce & kebabs: Preheat a gas grill to medium or prepare a medium-heat fire in a charcoal grill. (No grill? See Broiler Variation.)
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and stir in brown sugar and mustard; bring to a boil. Cook until the sauce is reduced by about half, 6 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, thread the chicken onto 6 skewers, alternating with pineapple and onion pieces.
- Grill the kebabs, basting with the basting sauce and turning frequently, until the chicken is firm to the touch, 10 to 16 minutes total. (If flare-ups occur as you baste, use a squirt bottle to put them out or move the kebabs away until the flame dies down.) Serve the kebabs with the banana salad.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Equipment: 6 (12- to 14-inch) skewers
- Broiler Variation: Position a rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Coat a broiler pan (or a wire rack set on a large baking sheet) with cooking spray. Broil the skewers, turning once, until the chicken is firm to the touch, 7 to 9 minutes per side.

Bulgaria to Press for More EU Funds in Budget Bargaining
As EU member states and institution are coming at loggerheads over the 2014-20 EU budget framework, Bulgaria is expected to ask for more EU funds at its disposal for the period.
EU leaders are meeting in Brussels Thursday for what is bound to be a very difficult European Council.
Large net EU donors like Germany and eurosceptic countries like the UK are asking for a decrease of the EU's 7 year budget framework.
The European Commission, European Parliament and member states like Bulgaria have on the other hand argued for a budget increase.
They have asked for keeping the EC's initial EUR 1.033 T framework that some member states want to see significantly reduced.
Bulgaria in particular will argue for an increase of cohesion funds and agricultural subsidies.
Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov has already stated that he will request about EUR 0.6 B more for cohesion.
If EU leaders do not manage to agree on a 7 year budget framework, the EU's budgets will have to be negotiated year for year.

Assessing What Your Students Know, Want to Know, and Have Learned
Measuring student success is a top priority to ensure the best possible student outcomes. Through the years instructors have implemented new and creative strategies to assess student learning in both traditional and online higher education classrooms. Assessments can range from formative assessments, which monitor student learning with quick, efficient, and frequent checks on learning; to summative assessments, which evaluate student learning with "high stakes" exams, projects, and papers at the end of a unit or term.
A New Way to Assess Student Learning
I'm "reflecting" a lot these days. My tenure review is a few months away, and it's time for me to prove (in one fell swoop) that my students are learning. The complexity of this testimonial overwhelms me because in the context of the classroom experience, there are multiple sources of data and no clear-cut formula for truth.
Why Doesn't Teacher Feedback Improve Student Performance?
Sometimes feedback leads to better performance, but not all the time and not as often as teachers would like, given the time and effort they devote to providing students feedback. It's easy to blame students who seem interested only in the grade—do they even read the feedback? Most report that they do, but even those who pay attention to it don't seem able to act on it—they make the same errors in subsequent assignments. Why is that?

Sometimes, in informal conversations with colleagues, I hear a statement like this, "Yeah, not a great semester, I doled out a lot of C's." I wonder, did this professor create learning goals that were unobtainable by most of the class or did this professor lack the skills to facilitate learning? I present this provocative lead-in as an invitation to reflect upon our presuppositions regarding grading.
The Four Questions Every Assessment Report Should Answer
Of all the activities that go into educational assessment, ironically two of most rewarding also are two of the most overlooked: 1). sharing the results with stakeholders and 2). using the results to effect change.
After devoting so much time and energy to creating assessments, far too often what happens is someone takes the data that's been gathered and compiles a dense, statistics-laden report that is difficult to find, read, or understand. Meanwhile everyone else turns their attention to more pressing matters; happy they finally got rid of that annoying pebble in their shoe.
Do More Tests Lead to More Learning?
Most college teachers assume that more tests are better than a few. Why? What caused us to decide on three or four unit tests followed by a final? Is there evidence that students don't do as well in courses where there are only a midterm and a final? Why do we think that more tests might be better? And what do we mean by better? Higher grades? More learning?
Five Steps to Improving Program-Level Assessment Practices
Student learning outcomes assessment can be defined in a lot of different ways, but Lisa R. Shibley, PhD., assistant vice president for Institutional Assessment and Planning at Millersville University, has a favorite definition. It's from Assessment Clear and Simple: A Practical Guide for Institutions, Departments, and General Education by Barbara E. Walvoord and states that student learning outcomes assessment is "the systematic collection of information about student learning, using time, knowledge, expertise, and resources available in order to inform decisions about how to improve learning."
Inquiry into the College Classroom
Are our students learning? Are they developing? Are we having an impact? These questions are only a small sample of those that faculty ask before, during, and after each course that they teach. Faculty often attempt to answer such questions using the evidence they have—student remarks during class and office hours, student performance on examinations or homework assignments, student comments solicited via teaching evaluations, and their own classroom observations. While these forms of evidence can be useful, such informal assessments also can be misleading, particularly because they are generally not systematic or fully representative.
Giving Students Multiple Attempts to Improve Test Scores Provides a Powerful Learning Opportunity
Using multiple test trials was something I had never considered until found myself in a newly assigned course with an old syllabus. The previous course, which consisted of 310 total points, included 140 (45 percent) testing-based points. In addition to a 100-point final exam, there were four 10-point quizzes. I was intrigued by the quiz design format that allowed students to take the quiz up to three times over the course of a week, with the average score added to the grade book.
Improving Your Assessment Processes: Q&A with Linda Suskie
It's a new year, but the same old challenges exist. Given today's financial challenges, colleges and universities are all working harder than ever to be careful stewards of limited resources and to demonstrate their effectiveness to stakeholders, constituents, and the public.
