You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I just LOVE this card. It was printed in brown with swirls, both are part of our wedding. When I first found these, l asked for a sample. At one point, l was thinking of trying to print them out myself but found all the invitation kits they sell have thin paper. That is when l went back to wedding paper divas. THIS IS LIKE CARDBOARD, NICE thick response card. l would recommend this product."
"Customer service was so helpful in letting us change the card since we had no need for the menu choice section, instead we changed it to how many guests were coming. We are extremely happy with our choice."
"I selected this card to go with the Years Together invitation for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. I was able to personalize all aspects of it. It was clear, concise and matched the invitation nicely. Customer support was great and the cards were shipped to me very quickly. Thank you for making this such a quick and easy process."
"The customer service at Wedding Paper Divas is awesome! I was able to totally change this card to ask for notice of definite regrets only. I am having a destination wedding, so I wanted to send this type of RSVP card with my Save the Dates. I will use WPD for my traditional RSVPs enclosed with my invitations as well."
"I am very pleased with all the paper goods I have ordered from Wedding Paper Divas. The prices were more than fair, the service was great and the products themselves were perfect, just as designed."

A judge has rejected a request for a psychiatric examination from a mother accused of killing her child.
Camilia Terry is facing charges for the death of her son.
She recently filed her own request for a psych examination even though she has two appointed attorneys.
She also asked for extra medical treatment but Judge Janet Burnside just said no to both requests.
In a court filing, the judge wrote she will not consider requests from a defendant who already has lawyers.
Terry's lawyers did not respond for comment when she filed her special requests.

Odds & EndsDateline: Canada—Police in Ontario have announced who they call their dumbest crook of 2010. According to the Chatham-Kent Police Service in southwestern Ontario, there was a home burglary late last year and police appealed for the public's help in identifying the thief. After local media published details of the crime, Constable Michael Pearce says he reported to work and found a voicemail from a man who was upset the report wasn't detailed enough. The unidentified man went on to say that he had stolen way more stuff than was listed and hadn't done it alone, either. He then listed the names of two friends who helped out. "He provided a recorded confession, hurting all their chances at trial," Pearce told the QMI news agency.

The Distinguished Alumni Awards honor Boston College Graduate School of Social Work MSW or PhD alumni who have made significant contributions to the social work profession.
This year's recipient of the Distinguished Recent Alumni Award is Erin McAleer, MSW '05, Director of Cabinet Affairs for Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. This year's recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award is Amy Vosburg-Casey, MSW/JD '01, Attorney, Georgia Appellate and Educational Resource Center. More about Distinguished Alumni »
Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Charles D. Baker Jr., speaking at a Graduate School of Social Work forum Monday, endorsed the social work profession as a key player in health care reform.
"When I think of social workers, I think of problem-solvers," said Baker, former CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, lauding social workers' ability to "stitch clinical and social service issues together with real-life implications."
"They deal with the complexity of problems that don't fit neatly into categories."
Baker was the keynote speaker at "Health Care Reform: From Policy to Practice," organized by GSSW to examine the potential roles and challenges for social workers in the wake of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). An audience of nearly 300, most of them social work professionals and academics, filled the Corcoran Commons Heights Room for the event, which also featured a panel discussion moderated by National Association of Social Workers CEO Angelo McClain PhD '01, former commissioner for the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families.

As health care reform continues to unfold across the U.S., Boston College Graduate School of Social Work will explore the context of the reform and its impact on the social work profession. Our school will invite key thought-leaders on health care to speak in a series of presentations this fall, culminating in the "Health Care Reform: From Policy to Practice Forum" on February 24, 2014. Kicking off the series is a presentation by Nancy Turnbull, a national expert on health care and the consumer perspective.
Turnbull is an associate dean and senior lecturer on health policy at the Harvard School of Public Health. She currently serves as the consumer representative on the board of the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority, the state's insurance exchange. Turnbull is also on the board of the board of Commonwealth Care Alliance, a consumer-governed organization that provides integrated physical and behavioral health.
Sponsored by the Health & Mental Health Concentration. Lunch will be served. The entire GSSW community is welcome.

Top 10 links of the week!: A devilish jaunt through the recesses of veganism! »
[Your adorbs viral animal video of the week. This looks like my dog but he's way better at piano!]
First, I would like to congratulate our Malcolm Fontier wallet giveaway winners!: JKid and Samantha M! But really you are all winners and we will have many more giveaways in the future.
In exciting mainstream news, CNN has a fairly positive piece about young vegans and vegetarians! We're taking over!
Can slaughter house pigs benefit from Ikea toys? What about not being in slaughterhouses? Would that help at all?
Ever wonder what's in the McRib? 70 ingredients! Including a "bleaching agent!"
Be sure you pay attention to Farm Sanctuary's twitter today because it's got a lot of great info from the Factory Farming Conference. By "great" of course I mean disturbing.
Did you know it's National (Vegan) Chocolate Day?! We must celebrate!
In San Francisco news, some fuckers shot a hawk with a nail gun. It's being treated for injuries now. WHYYY?
Humpback whale populations are rebounding slightly better than we thought! Congrats, humans.
Here's a really crazy/interesting piece the Humane Society alerted me to: Ag's go-to messaging not resonating. It seems people don't trust Big Ag! I can't imagine why!
Hey, fish-eaters! Do you diligently select fish species that are low in mercury and not in (as much) danger of over-fishing? Good luck with that! Consumer Reports has a new study, Mystery Fish, that's going to put a snag in your plan.
As always, don't forget to read Laura's Week in Vegan! It's always chocked full of good shiz.

Russell Simmons is still vegan, still rules »
I love Russell Simmons but I grew up a hip-hopper so it's kind of a given. But you better believe I love him even more now that I'm vegan. CNN's Eatocracy interviewed him all about his vegan diet and it's great and he's the best! Here's an excerpt:
I feel better. My friends say I look better. All that's true. But I'm a vegan for compassionate reasons.
Like I said, for the planet and for the Karma. It's to not cause too much harm. The first part of every scripture, in terms of the science that they give for happiness, is to not cause harm. You gain happiness by eliminating or relieving suffering. You want to relieve suffering; you don't want to be the cause. If all the oil is being used—beside what the army is using—in the manufacturing of food, we're fighting wars over your diet. It sounds like a big stretch but it's not when you find out the amount of oil that you use. Then you think about the global warming issue, and you think about the 15 billion animals that are born into suffering.
OMJesus do you love it? You love it.
I don't believe in much, but what do you guys think about karma? I know we throw the word around and it prob doesn't mean exactly what we think, but in the way it's used popularly, what do you think? You think vegans have better karma? I don't know; I know I do feel better about myself so I'd have to agree with his "gain happiness" statement. It makes me happy that I'm not contributing to suffering (or at least contributing as little as I can) and that I can function beyond the "but cheese is good" mentality.
He also talks about how great Tofutti Cuties are: "You can't beat a Tofutti Cutie. You frontin' if you say so." TRUTH.

Today is for the pigs! »
Happy National Pig Day!
Today, Smithfield "Foods" celebrates these beautiful, smart, and amazing creatures by eating them! Makes sense. Whenever I really want to express my love for Jonas, I murder him and get out the George Foreman! What? He's delicious and that overrides all other moral obligations I have not to be a fucking psychopath. Ugh, the best/WORST part of Smithfield celebrating the animals they're murdering is that they're inviting the public to e-tour the cages where they keep the pigs awaiting slaughter. Seriously! They obviously think it's acceptable to keep pigs in enclosures that I wouldn't inflict upon my worst enemy and I have some HATE, you know? Can you imagine if people kept their kids like that? Or their dogs? And both kids and dogs are stupider than pigs! This whole thing is very confusing. What's more, the awful place they show in their video is obviously cleaned up, so that leaves it to your imagination (or you know, the countless documented horrors) to dream up what the majority of their "farms" look like. Shudder.
In more slit-your-wrists news, CNN covers the South Korean mass burials of live animals and it's the fucking saddest. Spread the word! Shoot me in the face!
Okay, it's not all terrible news. Today is a day for us to celebrate pigs by looking at how cute and special they are and talking about how much we love them. Which is a lot because OMG PIGS! Maybe we can all tell at least one omnivore some pig fun facts today and let them know that their bacon had a mom, and she was FUCKING AWESOME.
That's Mohawk! He wants you to volunteer at Harvest Home Sanctuary, where you will love him and give him scratches and snacks and you guys will be bff.

Mike Vick wants a dog. For serious. »
This is my dog Figaro, in his Eagles jersey. It was the first piece of clothing I ever bought him. When I adopted him in Philly, he weighed a measly ten pounds—he should be twenty-five or so. Everyone was staring at his skelator body and making comments so I got him the Eagles jersey, 1. to cover up his ribs, 2. to ingratiate him with the sports-obsessed city of Philadelphia. I put the shirt over his bony ribs, took him to our favorite dive and a star was born! He was a hit. Everybody welcomed a new Eagles fan into the world.
Figgy has not worn his Eagles Jersey since Micheal Vick became a member of the team. We were not pleased, to say the least! How could my beloved Eagles throw morality to the wind and hire this dog-murderer? BECAUSE PEOPLE CARE MORE ABOUT SPORTS THAN ANIMAL CRUELTY. This isn't that big of a surprise to me but it's still disappointing. I guess you just hope people will pull through for you when they are faced with an issue like this but Vick scores touchdowns and that's the bottom line for many.
I've written about Vick on vegansaurus before but the issue seemed to have died down recently. When I was in Philly for Thanksgiving, I saw that Vick is more popular than ever. Guess we're over this whole dog torture thing! Now we can get back to football. Hu-freaking-za. But just when you think we're done with it, Vick announces to TheGrio.com that he wants to own a dog again! (there's a lame commercial at the beginning, sorry!):
Yeah, he really said it. And now we have to reevaluate the situation. Has Vick redeemed himself at all? Of course he can't get a dog yet anyway, the judge ruled he can't have a dog for at least three years. But if he could, is that really a good idea?
Since his release, Vick has been working with The Humane Society to educate kids about dog-fighting. The Humane Society's president Wayne Pacelle, who has worked with Vick, had this to say, from CNN.com: "He's been going through counseling, he's been speaking to kids twice a month, and he needs to interact with animals," said Pacelle. "If he continues to hit these markers, then if his daughter wants a dog two or three years down the line,… I'm saying that we should be open to that possibility."
PETA also weighed in on the issue; from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Just as convicted pedophiles aren't allowed free access to children, anyone who is responsible for hanging, electrocuting, or shooting dogs and who causes them to suffer in other unimaginable ways should never again be allowed access to dogs," Lisa Lange, vice president of the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, told the [Atlanta Journal-Constitution]. "All things considered, it is a very small price to pay, especially compared to the suffering endured by the dogs who were abused and killed in the Bad Newz Kennels."
Yeah, I'm not really sold on this pedophile-comparison. The "small price to pay" comment is definitely on point though. But what about redemption? Has Vick made up for some of the damage he did? When asked about the HSUS work with Vick, Pacelle makes good points. From CNN.com:
"What he did is terrible, there's no question about that," Pacelle said. "But this is an issue of protecting animals in the future. And endlessly flogging Michael Vick is not going to save one animal. But putting him to work in communities to save animals and educate people about the problem of dogfighting — especially with at-risk kids — is the way to help the problem."
What Vick is doing with the HSUS does seem like the right thing to do. He can't make up for what he did but what he's doing now could go a long way to preventing dog-fighting in the future. Just telling kids it's "wrong" is a positive step for the movement. Though I don't think it's an excuse, when Vick says no one ever told him dog-fighting was wrong, I believe him. You can't underestimate the influence one's childhood has on them. But still, as an adult, you have to know electrocuting an animal is not OK, right?
Ultimately, if you want my opinion (and I know you do!), should Vick be allowed to get a dog? HELL NO. Why does he even have to ask? It's annoying. It's like, you're doing good with your community service, don't rock the damn boat. I love dogs and if I was touring around the country talking about how great dogs are, I'd probably want one too, but big deal! You know why you can't have a dog, suck it up. And sorry you look like a jerk to your daughter but guess what: you are a jerk! And that is one of the consequences. I do think it'd be great for him to volunteer with shelter animals and donate every last cent he has to help abused dogs. Maybe if he did that and maybe if his reason for wanting a dog was, I don't know, because he wants to help a dog, then maybe I would feel differently. But he wants to play hero for his daughter and show people he's changed—those are not good enough reasons to let him get a dog. If he ever mentions anything about ending suffering or changing a dog's life, then we'll talk.

Let's eat and drink and live forever! »
Killer news, you guys: a longterm study of nearly 130,000 people found that those participants eating lower-carbohydrate, higher-protein diets in which the protein and fats came from plant sources were overall healthier and lived longer. Moreover, the study "confirmed a 'direct association' between animal-based low-carbohydrate food intake in men and increased cancer deaths, particularly from colorectal and lung cancer. That association aligns with previous studies that have confirmed a link between red meat, processed meat, and those two types of cancers." Whoops! Enjoy that bacon, hope you don't mind dying at 50.
The National Institutes of Health funded the study, which began following 85,186 women in 1980 and 44,548 men in 1986. The vegetable-protein-eaters ate more whole grains and drank more alcohol—color your Vegansaurus surprised—while the animal-protein-eaters were more likely to smoke. And yes, the study took more "positive" lifestyle factors into account as well, like vitamins and exercise; our people still outlived the death-eaters.
This coincides nicely with what Nation's Restaurant News reports as one of fall's big trends: VEGETABLES! Everyone's crazy about vegetables, and not just because they are so damn delicious! Did you know that "[p]rotein production uses many more resources and generates much more waste than vegetable production"? You guys, they're learning and mending their ways! "John Fraser, the executive chef at Dovetail in New York City, introduced meatless Mondays earlier this year and has come to enjoy focusing on cooking vegetables so much that he said he is toying with the idea of opening an all-vegetarian restaurant."
That brings a tear to my eye, it absolutely does. Science keeps supporting our choices, and chefs are backing us up with more cruelty-free dishes. Lucky us; when we do end up living to ridiculously old age, we'll always be able to eat well.

Catalonia bans bullfighting! Viva España! »
Bullfighting is so nasty and I fucking* hate it! So I was very glad when Meave reported that an amendment to the animal protection laws in Catalonia, Spain passed! Bullfighting is so over, jack!
I was totally happy about this animal victory but on Facebook today, one of my Spanish friends criticized the motives behind the ban, claiming it's a matter of politics and not concern for animals. My friend Santi, who says he hates bullfighting, also had this to say:
They are doing it to say we are not Spanish. Make no mistake, Catalans also like bullfighting considering the number of people turning up to arenas. They have used this to say we are not like them to the world!
I do have to point out that the anti-bullfighting side used the fact that bullfighting has been declining in popularity as an indicator of public thought, so I question just how much Catalans like the "sport." According to the Barcelona Reporter, "Barcelona's last bullring is so unprofitable that the company managing it intends to give up the business next year." The Guardian also reported the ban, focusing on the political implications of the issue. Pro-bullfighting peeps are saying Catalonia is using the ban as a big fuck-you to the rest of Spain.
Guess what has two thumbs and couldn't give a shit about the motives that ban bullfighting?! THIS GUY! Bullfighting is disgusting and anyone who likes it is despicable. I said it! I don't care why, I'm just glad it's on its way out. Another thing I'm a fan of: matadors getting totally thrashed by bulls. I'm pro that. Fuck those douchebags.
Many of the bullfighting supporters also say the ban is an attack on Spain's cultural heritage. An op-ed on cnn.com from last month addressed this cultural heritage argument. See, major news outlets aren't always big ol' jerkwads! The author, Jordi Casamitjana, is a consultant for PROU, a super-dope anti-bullfighting organization. Casamitjana says:
Many pro-bullfighting activists have argued that the "sport" is an important part of the Spanish culture and should not be banned. But cultural heritage is no excuse for inflicting pain on a frightened and confused animal. This campaign is not a matter of arbitrary prohibitions or of stomping on people's individual freedoms. It is a matter of suffering.
Do you love this guy or what?
If you don't think bullfighting is fucking repulsive, watch a few youtube videos like this one supplied by SHARKonline. I don't want to post them on here because they make me cry and I don't want to make you guys cry because then you'll all be at work looking like a bunch of nancies.
Bonus! The story of Ferdinand the bull! Of course in real life, they'd totally stab him to death but still, Ferdinand is totally adorbs:
[can't see the video? watch it on vegansaurus.com!]
*My parents are dedicated Vegansaurus readers and they get upset at the foul language because they are so very old and square. So to them, I must apologize for dropping the f-bomb but bullfighting makes me so mad!

How to help the other animals affected by the BP oil spill »
Get ready for a downer. A CNN corespondent visited the Louisiana SPCA to see the other side of the BP oil spill's effect on animals. There's been a huge surge of pets surrendered to Louisiana animal shelters because families who've been hit hard financially by the oil spill can no longer afford to care for them. One rescue, the St. Bernard Parish animal shelter, saw 17 dogs surrendered by their owners in June, 2009; this year they had 127 dogs surrendered in June. Fucking A. The SPCA is calling for BP to start chipping in to help families keep their pets. They are also offering free veterinary care for people in the fishing industry in certain coastal regions. If you want to help out, you can donate money to this effort on the Louisiana SPCA website. The St. Bernard Parish animal shelter is also calling for volunteers. Everybody is looking for more foster homes as shelters are at capacity.
Another organization getting involved is the Animal Rescue of New Orleans, a rescue formed to help animals affected by Katrina. As a no-kill shelter, they have people driving all the way to their shelter near New Orleans to surrender their pets in the hopes they won't be put down before they can find new homes. This little white dog is Chloe, she was surrendered and required surgery to remove bladder stones. With people barely able to provide for their healthy pets, pets that need expensive medical care are probably screwed. ARNO is also trying to keep pets in their homes with their Pet Retention Program. This program helps low income and unemployed people keep their pets by paying for their care. They are in dire needs of funds right now and you can donate (with paypal!) here.
Another, more fun way to help is to sponsor an animal. On the Plaquemines Animal Welfare Society's website, you can sponsor an animal and they will even send you a cute picture of "your" animal like this one to the right. I think sponsoring animals is a great way for kids to get involved in rescue efforts. They get a pet by-proxy and they also learn about the realities homeless pets as opposed to pet shops selling animals.
There's an interesting personal account of a visit to the St. Bernard Parish animal shelter on the blog ohmidog. You have to scroll to the bottom as it was a stop on a road trip. The writer discusses the conditions of the shelter as well as disaster economics.
That's all for today. I don't have any good jokes because I am sad. It's sad that the pets don't have homes, it's also sad that people don't have their pets anymore. Pets are good for you!

» Like unicorns, if we stop believing in the oil spill, maybe it will go away
Great news! Already tired of looking at depressing photos from the oil spill? Thanks to new regulations from the Coast Guard, you won't have to for much longer. Soon, getting close enough to photograph the oil spill will be a felony, punishable by a $40,000 fine. Zoe Strauss, you're on notice.
According to CNN's Anderson Cooper, the Times-Picayune, and several other news sources, the Coast Guard has put new restrictions that prevent the public—including members of the media—from approaching within 65 feet of response vessels or booms on the water or beaches.
And since booms are often placed more than 40 feet from islands or marshlands, this means that photographers, bloggers, reporters, and even volunteers won't be able to get close enough to oil-drenched wildlife to bear witness. To report. To help.
Violators will face a $40,000 fine and prosecution for a Class D felony.
As always, Change.org has an online petition you can fill out. Or, you know, riot in the streets instead. I'm not choosy.

Remake Your Class Part 1: Before (Transcript)
Steve: My name is Steve Mattice, I'm a math and science teacher here at Roosevelt Middle School. I have been teaching for about seven years now.
Narrator: Steve had a problem. His classroom was too small for the 36 students who poured in and out every period. And too cramped to accommodate the student-to-student collaboration he knew encouraged deeper learning.
Steve: They're extending this knowledge when they're working together, they're happier and more positive and more likely to participate. I've got a lot of kids and a lot of desks. Things pile up very quickly, kids can sort of pile up quickly in here. And the maneuverability of this room is not always fantastic.
Narrator: Then he met the folks at the "Third Teacher Plus," whose job it is to help educators re-imagine their learning spaces. See how they all took on the challenge of remaking Steve's classroom to be a home for exploration, creativity and better communication.
Christian: Teachers around the country will totally identify with this classroom, an incredible number of kids and limited space. So one of the things we're going to be looking at is how does Steve move around the classroom.
I'm Christian Long, and I was a high school English teacher for about 15 years. As a member of the "Third Teacher Plus," our job is to create spaces that allow the people to be remarkable students, remarkable educators.
Melanie: When people think design a lot of times, they think veneer, they think decorating. Yeah, we want it to look better, but unless we can change and facilitate a really productive classroom, then we're not really making a difference.
I'm Melanie Kale, and I'm a Design and Learning Strategist at the "Third Teacher Plus." We're going into a classroom identifying things that work, and things that could work better. Taking a thousand dollars, a designer's eye, a lot of community resources. We try to match the physical classroom environment to teaching and learning goals. In one weekend, we hopefully realize them.
Christian: So, Steve, tell us a little about this classroom, how it works, how it's laid out.
Steve: There's very little room to sort of move through the middle, so I kind of stay on the outskirts when I do have to move around. I've got 36 kids, plus backpacks, books, jackets. There's so much stuff just within the aisles. Just trying to get through is almost like trying to get through rush hour.
Melanie: In your world here, what is crucial that you have up here to be successful in class?
Steve: I use the ELMO or the overhead a lot. Just for more direct teaching. The ELMO is a document camera that connects to a projector and projects anything that I'm writing up onto the screen. It's not a big workspace. Like obviously, I've got a stool here to sort of make-do. I do "McGuiver" this stuff.
Christian: What we're hoping to do here with Steven's class is to really support this idea of collaboration. He's got to focus on teams, so you see these groupings of four. But at the same time, there's very little room from grouping to grouping.
Melanie: So the workshop we ran on Monday, the goal is to get a pulse on the students. See how they collaborate with one another, see how they interact with other adults. A lot of times words don't encapsulate what we're thinking. So we created a gallery wall for them to facilitate visual listening. The visual listening wall has hundreds of photos. It can be any size, and we give them dots to vote with. It allows us to quickly take the pulse of what their eye is drawn to, place they want to learn in, a place they want to hang out in, a place that just looks cool.
Let's hear about it.
Student: We'd be like learning from each other, or as like not just learning based on one thing like from a book.
Melanie: And what we noticed with them is they like sitting in their groups of four, but they want to feel like they're a part of a whole. So in this class, we're considering the perimeter, we're considering how we can add more mobility. While we might not have a plan right this moment, we know our priorities. To help make teachers better designers, we ask teachers to invite critical friends into their room. That might mean another teacher in the same department, another teacher in a different department, or their architect friend from down the street. We do this thing called a solution session to create really concrete areas that we can prioritize and make happen. This session is really about putting some specifics on what we think can really make a difference for your everyday life. And on Monday morning, you have to have a classroom to teach in. We set up a big board. It kind of becomes our shared brain. It's a place where we can visualize all the things that we're thinking. We identified a handful of key areas that we were going to focus on: Display; Storage; Furniture; Teaching Zone; Personality. And we picked those spatial areas so that we can create concrete solutions around them. We asked Steven to help us identify things that he thinks are going to make a big impact.
Student: First things that kind of caught my eye were the teacher desk as a DJ Dashboard. The positioning of the desks, I think, could be re-imagined. Pull the doors off the cabinets. Activate the back wall. The things that the designers are going to do in this class have sort of opened my eyes. The insights that they've shared have made me think about things I wouldn't ever have thought about.
Remake Your Class Part 2: Transformation (Transcript)
Melanie: So today was really about doing a wash-down of the room. We got everything out, so now we washed it. We then went back with Steve and had him reevaluate some of the storage. So looks like these are your cabinets and storage unit out on the ground.
Steve: That is, it looks like my classroom threw up.
Melanie: It does look like a little indigestion.
Steve: A little bit.
Melanie: So we're playing a little game I like to call "Toss or Keep." And we'll look at, you know, first use. Have you used it in the last year, and was it useful for you? If you haven't used it in the last year, I'd toss it.
Scott: We've got like the ELMO station right here. My name is Scott Dorley, I'm the Creative Director at the Stanford D School. And I do a lot of different things, but one thing I work on quite a bit is how to create environments that open people up, enhance creative collaboration, and help people share learning experiences so they can teach each other. We're doing a few different things in Steven's classroom to enhance peer-to-peer learning. One is to create these studio situations in the corners, so that students have whiteboard space that they can work on and they can move over to the corner of the classroom and start working as a team. One other thing we're trying to do in the classroom is create a situation where Steve can move throughout the classroom much more easily, so we're trying to create avenues for Steve to navigate the classroom, and inject into student projects and student learning.
Melanie: Carly and I went out on the road and got some paint. We ran into a painter who said, "I love helping schools. I live just down the street." And so we just drove here to get drop cloths, paint rollers, everything. That's perfect!
Melanie: You can do it!
Carly: Yay!
Scott: You got colors.
Melanie: We got colors. First coat of base paint is up. Trim is being painted. And hopefully that will all be dried and set for tomorrow for us to do additional detail work.
Christian: We've come incredible distances. Last night we closed up here really at midnight. We kind of left pretty heavy, and came in this morning, the light was here, everybody started showing up. These bright cans of paint started to open. This room got full of color, got full of life. And we've got kids that have been painting. We've got incredible volunteers been coming up. We've got this unbelievable construction crew that's just taken over and taken all of our early drawings, and they're bringing them to life. Everything's come together. We're incredibly close to done. This is the first time it feels absolutely that it's going to be done. I know when we'll be cleaning. And I know we'll be locking the door. This is for real.
Melanie: It's 11:37, which means we have 23 minutes and the doors will lock. I'm feeling pretty amazed at how much we got accomplished in such a short, short period of time. There are a few projects that will be something that the kids and Mr. Matise will have to do once school gets back.
Remake Your Class Part 3: After (Transcript)
Steve: Guys, you ready?
All right, here we go!
Wow, oh, my goodness, whoa!
Steve: The first thing that hit me when we walked in the room this morning was just how much light, how much space, and how alive the room felt.
What do you think, guys?
Whoo! [clapping and cheering]
Melanie: Very bright!
Michael: I was just going to say, it looks brighter already! I can see the light coming in. Wow! That's fantastic! Looks like you've reset up these tables.
Melanie: Yeah, well, you'll notice that there's a lot more room to walk around. And so one of the reasons we set up the tables this way is just that flow was a big thing missing from the classroom, and it's one of the most important things for collaboration and group work.
Student: I like the way that like everything looks kind of like more organized, and there's a lot more space in the room, so it's easier for us to like walk around the room.
Christian: Are you saying your teacher wasn't as organized before? [laughter]
Student: No, I mean, well, maybe.
Michael: That is a fantastic whiteboard he's got.
Melanie: We noticed that when he went to go set-up his work that he was losing a lot of efficiency, and it was causing some classroom management issues. So by making something that is always ready, he's going to be so much more efficient and commanding of his class.
Student: We'll be able to see things better, because the projector's really big, and then we still have a whiteboard right there.
Michael: The teaching station, it feels like it's been moved back a bit.
Melanie: Yes, it has, we wanted him to be immersed in the class. Not only does it allow him to see all of his students, but it allows him to feel like he has control over the room, and kind of mix the materials he needs to instruct on a daily basis. We wanted every tool he needed to be instantly here and not distracted by other clutter, not underneath something. So what we did was we took this reclaimed desk, put it on top of this cart. Painted one side white, so it's always a whiteboard, and took a piece of reclaimed Plexiglas, and screwed it to the top.
Michael: He can do the equations right on here.
Melanie: Yeah, and then just erase like an overhead projector for the 21st Century.
Michael: That's a fantastic idea!
Melanie: This whole wall is whiteboards. So not only do we have teachable space at the front of the room, but we have space that anybody can use to be a teacher, or solve a problem in the back of the room. One thing that we wanted to play with was not only providing them monitors and technology at their height, so that they could touch down, but giving them analog tools as well.
Michael: Actually do some thinking on the wall together. Quickly look something up online, and then head back to their table.
Melanie: Mm-hm. This action not only did it liberate this space, but it created a new opportunity for their collaboration in the room. This is a work in progress. We don't want to give a teacher a classroom. we want to create it with them, so that they continue to create it over time.
Michael: Yeah.
Christian: What we hope we've done over the last week is shift mindsets. Maybe more importantly, what we hope we've done is given Steve the set of tools to be a designer himself, and to literally imagine that this space is a studio that can do anything he needs it to do.
Steve: This entire design project has molded me into a more empowered teacher. It's nice to know as a teacher that we have support coming from other people, and the kids coming in on their day off, and the parents-- and it's nice to know that there are people out there looking out for us, and we don't just feel alone.
Narrator: In a single weekend, one teacher, a few experts, some community volunteers, and a bunch of energetic students, not only transformed their learning space, they reminded themselves of the power of their own imaginations. What can you do to remake your classroom?

Spring Equinox arrives Wednesday, but where is the warm weather?
It's already meteorological spring, but the vernal equinox arrives tomorrow, Wednesday, morning at 7:02am. Now this time last year, it definitely felt like spring with 8 days at 70° or higher. Three of those days were 80° or above. This March has been quite a different story! The highest temperature this month was 63° on the 10th. The month is a bit below average and snow fell in parts of the area yesterday morning. Check out these poor daffodils that can't tell what season it is!
- M. Joyce - Fredericksburg, VA
Since the vernal equinox, or first day of astronomical spring, arrives tomorrow morning, it should start to warm up, right? Well, it's not that simple, but the general trend will be for warmer temperatures over the next few months. The equinox occurs at the point when the sun crosses the celestial equator from South to North. Here's a way to visualize this:
At the equinox, the geometric center of the Sun crosses the equator and this point is above the horizon for 12 hours everywhere on Earth. Now when we think about the equinox, we often think about equal hours of daylight and darkness. The word equinox comes from the Latin word "aequus" meaning "equal" and "nox" meaning "night". Although it's close, there are actually a few more minutes of daylight on the equinox than darkness. Sunday we had 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. Sunrise on March 17, 2012 was 7:16 AM and sunset was at 7:17 PM. So you may be asking, why wasn't Sunday the equinox?
Well, it all comes down to that exact point when the center of the sun crosses the equator. Sunrise and sunset occur when the top of the sun, not the center, is on the horizon. That's why there are actually a few more minutes of daylight on the equinox. Also, the earth's atmosphere refracts, or bends, light from the sun. So, the top of the sun appears to be above the horizon when it is actually below the horizon.
- http://calgary.rasc.ca/index.htm
Tomorrow, on the equinox, we'll have a little over 12 hours of daylight and darkness. From here on out, up until the summer solstice, we'll gain daylight. Check out some of the sunrise and sunset times through the summer solstice.
The growing daylight and higher sun angle help promote warmer days. Unfortunately, it can sometimes be a slow process in these transition months. Case in point, this March. The next 7 days will be below average. The average high for the middle of March is about 55°. By the end of the month, the average high will be 61°. No 60s in this extended outlook.

FRANKLIN - Eisenhower hit the links for a Region 5 megamatch for the first time this year, albeit with three golfers and an incomplete score.
Yet, Ike head coach Phil Heubach said it was a great experience for two freshman golfers in Jack Reynolds and Spencer Watson, "who blew me out of the water with their scores (for their first time out at a varsity event)."
Also, while senior Tab Berkhous didn't fare as well as he normally does with his 99 at Wenango Country Club, "the leadership he brings to the boys is invaluable," said Heubach.
Region 5, at Wenango
Team standings: 1. Titusville 339, 2. Corry 347, 3. Franklin 387, 4. Rocky Grove 422, 5. Eisenhower NC
Eisenhower: Tab Berkhous 48/51-99, Jack Reynolds 57-51-108, Spencer Watson 55-54-109

Naming 'X'
I have this charater, and she's pretty smart, and she likes this guy called Irwin (who's really smart, can do rubrics cubes really quickly, and plays piano) but she doesn't know it. She's got dark blond hair, blue eyes and an easily flared temper. She's sort of short, (152cm) but not really.She's always surrounded by friends (including Irwin because he knows he likes her, and never gets to tell her because it's never the right situation) and is always happy.
I've got a list of names I want to call her, but I can't decide;
Constance Black
Holly Frost Shakespeare
Celestine Edison
Lucy Macbeth
Lola Mackenzie
Clementine Halloran
B'elanna Anderson
Ursula Tabia
Could you tell me which one suits 'X' best, or make up ones you think suit her?

Ha ha, have to agree 152 is quite short but not a big deal I suppose. Out of your options I don't like Shakespeare(you will never get through William connection), Lola(honestly, I can't take it serious) or B'elanna(odd to my ears). Constance Black is fine, what about Constance Halloran? I also like Lolita/Lilia nn Lola Mackenzie.

Yeah, 152 cm (4.9 ft, I had to google that...) is short. I'm 5'5" and I don't consider myself tall. You'd be better off with 5'2" or something.

Merely a formality, the lineup arrived this week, and that put the ACL Festival at the top of the list. Headliners include Arcade Fire, Stevie Wonder, Coldplay, and Kanye West. A suitably eclectic mix for a festival known for that very attribute. Even the esteemed Mr. Bieber can't win on an ACL lineup week, so no shame in holding onto the #2 spot for him. Adele lost the #1 spot for ACL, and tumbled a bit further to the third spot this week. She's followed by Taylor Swift, who remains pretty solid at #4.
New to the list this week is the Longhorn Baseball team, who, this weekend, will be playing a couple hot games against rival Texas A&M over at Disch-Falk Field. Act fast to get into today's game, or act in a slightly more leisurely fashion to get tickets to Saturday's game.
The WWE climbs a spot this week, making room for Australia's pop queen Kylie Minogue to return to the countdown. Kylie leads off the concert performers that flesh out the rest of the list this week. Selena Gomez falls from #4 to #8 this week, followed by Jason Aldean, who fell right along with Miss Gomez, ending up in the #9 spot. Finally, Katy Perry, whose pop experience points are somewhere between Selena and Kylie, returns to the countdown at #10.

BOSTON (AP) — Scott Brown was a little-known Republican state senator who shocked Massachusetts Democrats three years ago by winning a U.S. Senate seat in a special election that became a national rallying cry for the nascent tea party movement.
Much has changed since then for Brown. In the Senate, he compiled a voting record more moderate than his one-time tea party allies would have liked. Just two months ago, voters said a resounding "no" to giving him a full term.
Now Brown is considering whether to seize a chance to return to the Senate — in yet another special election — to take the place of Democratic Sen. John Kerry if he is confirmed as secretary of state. Democrats will be more than ready for Brown this time if he does run.
"The atmosphere would be completely different," said the state Democratic Party chairman, John Walsh. He acknowledged making "unforgivable mistakes" by taking for granted the race in which Brown won the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's seat.
"We are not asleep at the switch anymore," Walsh said.
As the Democratic machine begins to stir, national conservative groups active in Brown's first run say they've yet to focus on a Massachusetts Senate election that could be five months away.
"It's a different race," says Amy Kremer, national chairman of the Tea Party Express, which funneled a ton of volunteers and more than $340,000 into Brown's 2010 bid.
"Conservatives in Massachusetts, I'm sure, are excited and want him, but it's definitely not something that people are focused on across the country," Kremer said. "What happened with him in 2010 was it became a nationalized race and people got excited. But right now, it's not on anybody's radar."
Republicans familiar with Brown's thinking expect him to run but say that his candidacy is by no means assured. These Republicans spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose information about Brown's decision-making.
Republicans in Washington see Brown as a chance to take a seat from Democrats, who hold a 55-45 edge in the Senate.
The date of the special election won't be announced until Kerry resigns upon his confirmation as secretary of state. State officials expect the special election as early as June.
Despite the time frame, Brown is in no hurry to make his intentions public, according to his Republican allies. For now, his camp is content to let speculation about his candidacy fuel steady news coverage. Since leaving office Jan. 3, Brown has conferred quietly with Republican operatives Eric Fehrnstrom and Peter Flaherty, senior aides to former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Brown's allies say he is encouraged that a member of the Kennedy family will not run for the seat. Kennedy's widow, Vicki Kennedy, and Edward Kennedy Jr. have said they would not enter the contest.
Kerry and Democrats in Washington are backing longtime U.S. Rep. Ed Markey, the only announced candidate, although Markey's popularity outside his north-central Massachusetts district is unclear. First elected in 1976, he is already drawing criticism from Massachusetts' small Republican class.
"Ed Markey is an uninspiring, unaccomplished political hack," said Massachusetts-based Republican strategist Ryan Williams, a former Romney aide.

Comments On Dec 03, 2013:Ive tried a few elbow pads and these ones are the best ive tried. They stay on the elbows pretty good, better than some others ive tried. They seem like they provide pretty good protection as well.

Comments On Jul 24, 2013:My forearm is 13" just below the elbow. These elbow guards are so tight that I can barely use them. i do not reccomend the L/XL unless you have 12" or smaller forearms at the elbow.

Comments On Nov 30, 2012:A little small for guys with even average size arms

Comments On Nov 19, 2012:These elbow protectors are some of the best out there. They wont slide or move around while your riding. A little bulky for under jersey wear though. And if you have it too tight it will cause some pretty bad arm pump. So it all depends on how you ride. But overall very good quality guards.

Comments On Oct 31, 2012:Got to truely test these last week - Elbow is good! Great value for the price, no elbow guard is going to save your elbow in a serious high speed wreck, but these give you the padding needed to prevent "fall downs" from ruining an otherwise perfect day. Great product, Thanks Rocky Mtn!

Only 1 school board seat is contested
Published on Wed, Oct 14, 2009
Read More
In district 2, which includes Dungeness and the area north of Sequim, incumbent Virginia O'Neil faces challenger Jon Kirshbaum.
Running unopposed are directors John Bridge (position 3) and Beverly Horan (position 4).
Bridge is seeking to retain the position he was appointed to in June following the death of board director June Robinson; if elected, he would fulfill the final two years of Robinson's term.
Horan is seeking to retain one of the board's two at-large director positions.
School board directors are unpaid. The offices are nonpartisan and directors generally serve a four-year term unless appointed to fill a vacant position.
According to district officials, the school board's job is to "determine a vision for the educational program, design a structure to achieve that vision, assure that the schools are accountable to the community and advocate for continuous improvement in student learning."
The five-member board sets policies and selects a superintendent to administer those adopted policies.
All voters within the school district elect the directors. Two members serve in at-large positions, with the remaining three elected from a specific geographic area.
Though not paid for their time, board members may have the district pay for attendance at workshops, conferences or similar meetings.
The school board generally meets twice per month each school year — the second and fourth Mondays — and once each month during the summer.
Jon Kirshbaum
I'm a product of the public schools and lifelong learning; have a B.S. in comprehensive marketing and an M.B.A. in finance; taken doctoral courses (57 semester hours) in educational administration, school business management and adult continuing education; and earned the chief school business official endorsement to the Illinois K-12 administrative certificate in 1989 (the CSBO is designed to assure a minimum level of competency and related experience for school business managers in Illinois).
• I.B.M.: Sales representative/sales support administrator (1965-1967), Systems analyst/planner (1967-1971)
• Chicago Public Schools: Information technology project manager/financial systems analyst (1974-1996)
• IT consultant (1997-2001): Served as executive editor for a travel magazine (1991-1997 parttime) and a freelance travel writer/photographer for approximately 11 years.
I would bring greater diversity to the Sequim board, along with 23 years of experience within a large K-12 environment including extensive training and experience in government-funded finance, school budgeting and accounting practices; serving as a core team member and sole IT specialist on a complex process re-engineering project (2 years); being a communications (a defined core process) team member during the build and test phases; and successfully interacting with various vendors, board and community members, and central office and school staffs.
District 323's mission is "All students will experience success." Understandably, there are many impediments and challenges to this goal. My greatest concerns include:
• Fair and realistic student assessment
• Obtaining adequate resources
• Encouraging two-way communication and greater community involvement
• Improving school climate/safety
Sequim students can succeed!
Virginia O'Neil
My guiding belief is that all children need to love learning so that they can become creative, conscientious, productive members of society. As a parent of school-age children and a community volunteer, I am very aware of the Sequim school district's unique needs.
My focus the past two years on the board has been to support not only our college-bound seniors but those who will be going into the trades, to advocate for our facilities and to provide continuing professional development for all staff.
Maintaining a transparent budget process and sensible fiscal management practices have been my priority, allowing our district to preserve a balanced budget and a healthy reserve.
I graduated from Stanford with a B.A. in English, studied in England for a year and completed master's coursework at New York University.
My background is in corporate finance where I have successfully managed my family's business for well over a decade. My husband, three daughters and I have lived next to the Dungeness River for 14 years in a home we built ourselves.
A public school's job is to ensure our students reach their potential no matter their chosen trade. Everyone should have a place, and that place should have value.
I may not have all the answers but I do have the energy, commitment and the institutional knowledge to continue leading the Sequim school district through these challenging times.
Cultivating young people to be the Olympic Peninsula's next generation of leaders, workers and dreamers is my primary goal.

Garnet Hill
zinni™ by Garnet Hill Hooded Zip Jacket
Wow - love that color!
Love the Wild Aster pink. It's so fun and cheering.
The neckline is wide but, unlike most zip-up tops, it looks really cute when it's fully zipped because of the ruching.
Absolutely love that double zipper at the bottom as it allows the longer length to work even on my 5' 3" frame. It's longer on me than the model - almost covers my rear!
I'm 118lbs. and ordered the size small.
February 28, 2014
Happily Jacketed
This jacket was a great deal for the price, as the fabric is substantial (with a cozy fuzzy interior) and quality details include a two-way zipper (love that) and long sleeves with thumb holes. The aster color makes me happy. I agree with the previous reviewer that the wide, ruched collar doesn't function to keep the neck warm. I do like the wider hood that the collar creates, though. Standard hoods look terrible on me so I never use them. This jacket is perfect for wearing to yoga (if it's cold I wear a scarf and layer a down vest over it) and keeping on in class until my body warms up. The size medium goes to the low hip with no tightness, but with a clean line on a 5'7", 128 lb. frame. I would probably order another of these if the color weren't black...or maybe I will. Thanks, Garnet Hill!

Poor Design
At first glance, this jacket has lovely material, great color and what would appear to be good designl. I was so pleased when I received this and realized that for once, the sleeves weren't too long. Then, I wore it for a run on a cold night and realized all that was wrong with this design. First of all, because it was so cold out, I zipped the jacket all the way to the top to keep my neck warm and then realized that even after zipping this up, the neckline was huge which didn't do one thing to warm my neck but rather just let in a bunch of cold air. The hood on this is enormous and would not stay on at all making it a complete waste. I don't understand why you would design a jacket in such a way. I'd have to have a neck of around 25 inches for this jacket to keep the cold air out of it. Hopefully, the next design for this item will remedy this problem. I guess it's too late for me since I've already worn this for a 5 mile run.

10 Businesses You Can Start With Little Capital
by smallbiztrends, Guest Blogger
- Created: August 26, 2010, 11:33 am
- Updated: June 13, 2011, 5:00 pm
A recent study by the SBA found that when unemployment is high, the number of sole proprietorships goes up. Some people who are laid off from their jobs decide to start small businesses.
If you find yourself in such circumstances -- out of a job and thinking about starting a business -- chances are you won't have much money to start up with.
So here are 10 businesses with potential for growth in 2010 and beyond that require little startup capital. In many cases they can be run out of a home office. Most require minimal equipment beyond a computer, phone, printer, a few tools, and perhaps your car or truck. You won't need advanced degrees or highly specialized training beyond what you may already have or can learn on the job.
- Consulting for your former employer or in your old industry - Just because your former employer downsized doesn't mean all the work you used to do disappeared miraculously. Stories are legion about employers rehiring as consultants the very people who used to work for them as employees. Don't underestimate the value of your skills on the open market. Use your industry contacts, online networking and freelance marketplaces like Elance* to find opportunities.
- Web businesses - Publishing ad-supported content websites; affiliate marketing; SEO consulting; ecommerce sites; and eBay sales are just some examples of Web-based businesses that growing numbers of entrepreneurs thrive at.
- Virtual assistant - With so many people working virtually, and the volume of email and other correspondence growing, the need for virtual assistants will grow.
- Online social media consulting; online content production - To say that social media has exploded in the past year is an understatement. But social media, and the content that goes along with it, is time-consuming for many businesses -- they will need help.
- Convenience services for consumers - As we come out of the recession and pocketbooks open up again, the little conveniences (think 'dog walking' or 'house cleaning' or 'gourmet coffee') are affordable luxuries that consumers look for.
- Pet businesses -- Americans spend $10 billion a year on pet supplies and over $3 billion on pet services* -- and those numbers are projected to grow in 2010.
- Kids products or services - Today you can find kids' online communities; spas just for kids; even entrepreneurial support programs for children and teenagers.
- Mobile apps development and mobile consulting - There are four times the number of cellphones* in the world versus computer (4 Billion vs.. 1 Billion) and 20% of all U.S.. households are now 'mobile-only'. Businesses are jumping on the mobile marketing bandwagon and will need help to navigate the road and reach their target customers.
- Specialty foods - Consumers are more health and wellness conscious today, driving demand for specialty foods (example: gluten-free baked goods). Do check into FDA and state inspection/licensing requirements for food businesses. Business.gov's 'Permit Me' tool is another good resource as is this article with tips on starting a home-based food production business.
- Landscaping and handyman services - Homeowners and businesses seem to always need help keeping up their premises. Handyman and landscaping businesses are relatively easy to start. Now (before the weather breaks) is the time to get started marketing through flyers and door to door visits.
As always when starting any business, do your due diligence. Research the business and your market to make sure there is demand. Write a business plan. There's nothing like putting a business plan down on paper to force you to think of issues you might have overlooked. Business.gov offers business planning guidelines here.
Also, if you are receiving unemployment benefits, first check with your local unemployment bureau. When you start earning money from your new business, it could make you ineligible to continue receiving unemployment assistance. Check into any state or local business licenses required, too, for a business.
But assuming you've done your homework, the above list can trigger ideas for what could become the next stage of your career - your own business.

These products provide a consistent, safe experience for students before going into a clinical setting. They have the opportunity to handle these babies in different ways; to know what is safe; and how to bathe and swaddle them; to understand how to approach them.

We've had teachers tell us that students are so interested they sign up for their classes just to get a baby.
Karen Coresentino, Spokesperson,Travis County Medical Alliance, Austin, TX
The Babies are a boost to anyone's program. Having a product like this makes teaching much easier. It's the little hook that gets students and parents excited and teaches them so much.

I have seen a very important aspect that RealCare Baby adds to a middle school curriculum. I think it's vital in the decision-making process, to get that hands-on experience.
