River Garden
Jardim do Rio,no Ginjal, Cacilhas. Este local era um importante polo logístico, de abastecimento aos navios (bacalhoeiros por exemplo) que aqui carregavam os seus mantimentos e água, para depois partirem para nova viagem. Era também um centro de expedição de mercadorias para abastecer Lisboa, antes da construção da ponte 25 de Abril, que ligou as duas margens. Com a construção da ponte, este local foi perdendo importância e entrou em degradação. A Câmara Municipal de Almada anunciou um programa de intervenções que visa recuperar esta bonita margem do Tejo

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

WASHINGTON — What are the key takeaways from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration's report on the Internal Revenue Service's decision to subject conservative groups to heightened scrutiny? We read the report so you didn't have to, and here are the top five, plus a bonus question:
1. The campaign targeting conservative organizations seeking tax-exempt status lasted 18 months, during which "no work was completed on the majority of these applications for 13 months."
2. None of the 298 applications the IG reviewed were actually rejected: As of Dec. 17, 2012, 108 had won approval and 28 were withdrawn. But many of these applications experienced long waits: "160 were open from 206 to 1,138 calendar days (some for more than three years and crossing two election cycles)."
3. The decision to focus on groups with conservative-sounding names originated in the Cincinnati field office, known as the "Determinations Unit." In May 2010, the office "began developing a spreadsheet that would become known as the 'Be On the Look Out' listing," otherwise known as BOLO. The unit sent around its first BOLO listing in August 2010, and by June 2011 the criteria for singling out groups included not only the words "tea party" but "9/12″ and "patriot," as well as "statements in the case file [that] criticize how the country is being run." Out of all the cases the IG reviewed, 72 were from tea party groups, 13 from those with "patriot" in their name, and 11 with "9/12″ in their title.
4. When the head of the tax-exempt organizations division, Lois Lerner, objected to the criteria being used by the Cincinnati office in late June 2011, it jettisoned that approach and adopted a broader definition focused on the "political, lobbying, or [general] advocacy" activities of applicants. But six months later, the unit adopted a new set of criteria — including targeting groups that sought to educate Americans on the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights — "without executive approval because they believed the July 2011 criteria were too broad."

I was looking through the photos I've taken in the last three years since I got my first digital camera (some 8,600 photos) and found some that I'd like to share, but that don't really fit in with any other thread.
Anything can go in this thread, whether it be current or from years past, locos, wagons, infrastructure, just as long it is Tasmanian.
I'll start off with some picked at random.
Great photos mate u should start up a website and get them out there
Thanks ZR2101
I have some sort of loosely arranged on a photobucket, but I dont really have the time or internet speed to set up a proper website.
EDIT: BTW, this thread is for everyone to participate in, so post up some pictures!
Andy, i have to go though over 10000 photos!.
I'll take one of my backup DVDs here at home into work tomorrow, sort some out and, a mega upload onto photobucket. Got a few doosies!
Ok, these images are way before i got a DSLR, even thinking about one actually!.
Some are also in some typical Tasmanian conditions, wet and cold.
The camera's back then are a 3MP/8X optical and 6MP/10X optical Olympus "point and shoot".
Excellent photos everyone!
Andy, don't take offense to this but the last images don't look that sharp. They look a little out of focus.
Got this yesterday
I didn't realise that Tasmania had locos in Tranz Rail livery. How many does it have?
4 locos had them, the lone DC and the three QR locos. Instead of Tranz Rail lettering, they have Tasrail lettering.
Damo, some of the previous pics were taken with the old 3MP Fujifilm digi. Also it might have something to with when I resize them for uploading to the net.
Chased 35 tonight, here are some of the results
Some more pix of mine for the new year
Wheres V2's stripes? It looks naked without them. A repaint still not quite finished?
love that first pic there of the coal wagon.
Like the new pics Andy. Z2110 looks great out in the bush!
God i have been slack, haven't been taking any railway pics.
V2 nearly needs repainting again. Dont expect to see stripes anytime soon Steve.
Why? Can't afford the black paint or can't find a ruler?
The stripes just never got done after it got repainted. Now that there's so many other jobs on in the workshop it's not a real priority.
full of broken steam engines & other useless and half finished projects.
oh, and not to mention carriages that are not allowed outside in case it rains! (ducks for cover from the carriage lovers)
Spot on Stu!
the 830 looks good is she running?
Yeah, there's sign writing still to be done on the cab sides and fireman's side long hood doors. It gets a run every now and then, just to keep the cobwebs out.
Have been uploading some pics to flickr if anyone is interested in looking. I aint much of a photographer, but they ok!

For this unusual photographic project, we asked Liverpool photographer Rob Battersby to explore the curious interplay between art and architecture. The setting is The Old Blind School, the 1930's Grade II Listed building near Liverpool City Centre which houses the work of 18 contemporary artists for the 8th Biennial Exhibition. – READ MORE
One of the most influential figures in the arts of the nineteenth-century, Whistler played an important role in paving the way for abstract painting, but was also the first to consider the exhibition space as a total environment, creating colour schemes and arrangements that on one occasion extended to the yellow clothing worn by the gallery attendants. – READ MORE

Dr. Elizabeth Laugeson:Help kids with LD Make and Keep Friends Monday, August 25, 2014, 7pm @lawrenceschool
Watching children navigate peer relationships can be stressful and emotional. Some kids seem to instinctively know the rules of friendship while others struggle to feel accepted. One child gets invited everywhere, but another is routinely left out. As adults, how do we know when to step in or stay silent? Our guest speaker will guide us through this maze and offer evidence-based techniques and strategies for helping adolescents learn how to make and keep friends.
Lou Salza's insight:
Important opportunity for parents and educators in NE OH--Lou
About Dr. Elizabeth Laugeson:
As the creator of the PEERS (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) model of social skills intervention, Dr. Elizabeth Laugeson is a licensed clinical psychologist and assistant clinical professor in the department of psychiatry and bio-behavioral sciences at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. She is the founder and director of the UCLA PEERS clinic, a program providing parent-assisted social skills training for adolescents and young adults with ADHD, depression, anxiety and other social impairments.

Lou Salza's insight:
Common sense at last in the competitive college admissions world!--Lou
Both the SAT and the ACT tests will be optional for high school applicants to Wesleyan University starting next fall, President Michael S. Roth announced this week.
The tests, given annually to about three million students in 170 countries, have been part of the Wesleyan admissions process for many years. Wesleyan has required either the SAT with two subject tests, or the ACT. Now the university joins several hundred institutions, including many of its peer colleges, in making the tests optional.
While students' academic records will continue to be most important in Wesleyan's admissions decisions, as they always have, applicants may choose whether or not to submit test scores.
"We've always been most concerned about the day-to-day work of our applicants, in a rigorous academic program," said Nancy Hargrave Meislahn, Wesleyan's dean of admission and financial aid. "This option provides students more control over their applications, how best to present themselves to the admission committee."
Have you looked into your family history? What have you found? Many times the link can be hidden because people don't like to admit to struggles, and sometimes people with mild to moderate dyslexia find ways to hide it.
Lou Salza's insight:
In my generation and older it was not at all unusual for individuals to be unaware of their dyslexia. Perhaps one indication of our progress is the increasing numbers of young adults who describe being identified and helped while they were in school by special education regulations and programs. --Lou
"Researchers say that dyslexia likely has a genetic link, but that connection isn't always apparent. When one Mom blogger was cleaning out her closet (literally), she was surprised to find the link in her own old school records..."

No one likes getting criticism. But it can be a chance to show off a rare skill: responding to negative feedback well.

Via Gust MEES
Lou Salza's insight:
Love the advice here--and the graphic is instructive. If the goal is better performance for our students, then we need to be willing to deal with feedback. Kids handle feedback all the time! What's good for the goslins is probably good for the goose and the gander as well!--Lou
"....It is a skill that requires practice, humility and a sizable dose of self-awareness. But the ability to learn from criticism fuels creativity at work, studies show, and helps the free flow of valuable communication.
Tempering an emotional response can be hard, especially "if you're genuinely surprised and you're getting that flood of adrenaline and panic," says Douglas Stone, a lecturer at Harvard Law School and co-author of "Thanks for the Feedback...."
"....Some people distort feedback into a devastating personal critique. Mr. Stone suggests writing down: "What is this feedback about, and what is it not about?" Then, change your thinking by eliminating distorted thoughts. "The goal is to get the feedback back into the right-sized box" as a critique of specific aspects of your current performance, he says...
Mark Dhamma's curator insight, June 29, 9:45 AM
Criticism is feedback, feedback improves performance- Embrace!
Philip Powel Smith's curator insight, July 29, 5:04 AM
Criticism is always a difficult pro-active action that educators have to give. Criticism without ridicule and shame is what students need to hear and an explanation of how to make the changes to be better learners and communicators.
Combine the traditional escape and enrichment of summer reading with social media resources for sharing discoveries with like-minded educators and readers.
Lou Salza's insight:
Model reading behavior for our kids; use AT if you find print difficult--but read, and then talk about what you are reading--it's good for us!--Lou
"...... some ideas for sharing your summer book reads with friends and family, ideas that might help you to get out there and grow your own interests even farther. Here are three suggestions to get you started on your summer reading travels, even if you're on a "staycation...."

Aaron Carapella couldn't find a map showing the original names and locations of Native American tribes as they existed before contact with Europeans. That's why the Oklahoma man designed his own map.
Lou Salza's insight:
For teachers and students who want to study First People in North America.--Lou
"For more than a decade, he consulted history books and library archives, called up tribal members and visited reservations as part of research for his map project, which began as pencil-marked poster boards on his bedroom wall. So far, he has designed maps of the continental U.S., Canada and Mexico. A map of Alaska is currently in the works.
What makes Carapella's maps distinctive is their display of both the original and commonly known names of Native American tribes, according to Doug Herman, senior geographer at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C..."
American Academy of Pediatrics to Recommend Reading Aloud to Children From Birth By MOTOKO RICH, NYT
From www
With the increased recognition that reading to children enhances vocabulary and other important skills, the American Academy of Pediatrics is asking its members to become advocates.
Lou Salza's insight:
For parents of babies: Put down the iPads, and pick up the books ( at least 20 minutes each day!) Doctor's Orders!--Lou
"With the increased recognition that an important part of brain development occurs within the first three years of a child's life, and that reading to children enhances vocabulary and other important communication skills, the group, which represents 62,000 pediatricians across the country, is asking its members to become powerful advocates for reading aloud, every time a baby visits the doctor.
"It should be there each time we touch bases with children," said Dr. Pamela High, who wrote the new policy. It recommends that doctors tell parents they should be "reading together as a daily fun family activity" from infancy.
This is the first time the academy — which has issued recommendations on how long mothers should nurse their babies and advises parents to keep children away from screens until they are at least 2 — has officially weighed in on early literacy education..."
"The pediatricians' group hopes that by encouraging parents to read often and early, they may help reduce academic disparities between wealthier and low-income children as well as between racial groups. "If we can get that first 1,000 days of life right," said Dr. Dipesh Navsaria, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, "we're really going to save a lot of trouble later on and have to do far less remediation.."
From blogs
New research shows it's possible to pick up some of the signs of dyslexia in the brain even before kids learn to read. And this earlier identification may start to substantially influence how parents, educators and clinicians tackle the disorder.
Lou Salza's insight:
Is it just me--or do others find this sort of journalistic "hook" somewhat deceptive? We really don't need any more multi colored fMRI pictures beside promises of potentially remarkable new approaches to "tackle" dyslexia. Better perhaps to invest these funds now being used to run kids through fMRIs and invest instead in programs in schools. Let's "tackle" schools and curriculum that refuse to apply the data we already have paid for to alter teaching approaches to address the needs of dyslexic kids. Just sayin'!--Lou
Excerpt:Using cutting-edge MRI technology, the researchers are able to pinpoint a specific neural pathway, a white matter tract in the brain's left hemisphere that appears to be related to dyslexia: It's called the arcuate fasciculus.
"It's an arch-shaped bundle of fibers that connects the frontal language areas of the brain to the areas in the temporal lobe that are important for language," Elizabeth Norton, a neuroscientist at MIT's McGovern Institute of Brain Research, explains.
In her lab, Norton shows me brain images from the NIH-funded kindergartner study, called READ (for Researching Early Attributes of Dyslexia).
"We see that in children who in kindergarten already have strong pre-reading scores, their arcuate fasciculus is both bigger and more well organized," she says. On the other hand: "A child with a score of zero has a very small and not particularly organized arcuate fasciculus."
She says we're not quite ready to simply take a picture of your child's brain and say "Aha, this kid is going to have dyslexia," but we're getting closer to that point.

The topic of college readiness is likely the most discussed topic in the education community today. While the United States high school graduation rate has recently topped 80 percent , this does not mean that 80 percent of our high school graduates are college-ready. …
Lou Salza's insight:
Sarah Manix offers us common sense and a dash of data! Three Keys: 1. Start in Kindergarten. 2. Look beyond grades and test scores to student engagement. 3. Use technology to integrate and apply knowledge assessment data to keep students on track.--Lou
"While it may be presumptuous to predict the college readiness of a kindergartner, it is possible to begin to track areas of strength and weakness. We suggest focusing on elementary predictors of middle school success, middle school predictors of high school success, and high school predictors of college success. In this way, ongoing evaluations give educators the ability to identify any issues a student may have and provide ample time to intervene and help the student get back on track. This is important as the closer students get to high school graduation, the more difficult it becomes to correct course. In fact, according to the ACT report, College and Career Readiness: The Importance of Early Learning, "students who were far off track in eighth grade had only a 10 percent chance in reading, 6 percent chance in science, and 3 percent chance in mathematics of reaching the ACT College Readiness Benchmarks by twelfth grade. In higher poverty schools, those numbers were 6 percent, 3 percent, and 3 percent, respectively....."

When I first started teaching English with 1:1 iPads, I was really jealous of the science and fine arts teachers. They had all of the most engaging apps, and I was left with a lowly word processor and an instant thesaurus. …
Lou Salza's insight:
Robust, Nimble, Mobile and Practical! Any questions!? --Lou
"Fortunately, so much has changed. I now have the flexibility to duck in and out of my students' papers as they write and leave them comments on drafts in progress. I have the resources to connect them with a real-world network of readers who authentically guide them to books they will enjoy through reviews and ratings. As a class, we can collaborate on a challenging text, asking questions of each other in shared annotations.
During the research process, students have tools to keep their ideas organized, and their resources available to others with similar interests. What follows are my top ten picks for apps that support the writing process, reading engagement, critical reading skills, and research in the humanities."
Parth Gandhi, PhD, a clinical neuropsychologist who specializes in the clinical assessment of adolescents and young adults, explained how Executive Function skills can determine if a young adult will be successfully independent.
Lou Salza's insight:
From our good friend and colleague Lon Woodbury!
An emerging adult is one that has either turned 18 or is an adolescent growing toward adulthood. As a neuropsychologist focusing on assessments, Parth looks at young adults 18 and over who are not functioning well and question why? "I think we have less expectations for young adults now and we've become softer, less willing to let them fail," he said. "Yet, these kids need to learn from failure and they need earlier training from their parents. Kids aren't being challenged and they need those challenges to learn and grow from. When we protect them, we take away their skill building. I think it is a cultural issue and a family issue, but working with your children needs to be strategic.

Barbara Hunter's curator insight, June 16, 1:49 AM
Good information! We can't wait to see if EF skills are in place, parents and professionals must guide growth. By "guide growth" I mean, understand the processes of EF, assess strengths and challenges in children very young, as they are emerging, and engage in metacognitive, direct, and strategic support.

I was fortunate to teach in a 1:1 laptop classroom for seven years. In my classes, students took daily notes on computers, did research, wrote essays, created various multimedia publications, and worked on collaborative projects. Yet I knew that if I wasn't watching their screens, my students would at some point be doing something they were not supposed to be doing. By Tom Daccord
Lou Salza's insight:
What is the antidote? Opportunities for active student engagement in learning compared to passively sitting and listening. What a concept!--Lou
"If the activity is engaging and challenging, there is an authentic audience, and prescribed time limits, students won't mess around.
I see it at work regularly in my PD workshops. The more time I spend "teaching" teachers something from the front of the room, the more inclined they are to check email, Facebook, or whatever. The more time they spend learning actively in a challenging and engaging activity, the less they go off task. Add in the possibility that they they'll have to present to the entire class, or post their creation online, and they're even more focused.
More importantly, it happens in K-12 classrooms all the time. I know because when teachers relate stories of engaged students using technology, their students all ask the same question:"Can I have more time to work on it?"

Lou Salza's insight:
Love to hear from anyone who uses this! looks like a great app!-Lou
"Book Creator is the easy way to make ebooks on your tablet. After three years of success with the iPad app – 5.5 million books created and no.1 in 60 countries in the iTunes App Store, Book Creator was recently released for Android too.
The iPad app has found its place as a key educational app in classrooms across the world, putting publishing into the hands of students and enabling teachers to collaborate with classrooms in other countries. With Google ramping up Google Play for Education to take on Apple in the education market, it was an obvious choice for Book Creator to move across to the Android platform too."
Technology maybe 'agnostic' but the presence of digital devices has made some huge cracks in traditional curriculum walls--The iPad as a 'Trojan Mouse'
"In the best circumstances, the iPad is a Trojan Mouse. The outside is shiny and attractive, all the better to lure our unwary colleagues into opening the gates to their black box. Those of us interested in meaningful change in teaching and learning need to make sure that the shiny exterior of the Trojan Mouse is stuffed inside with serious questions about practice, student relationships, assessment, a shared language about pedagogy, and a shared vision for our students."
Lou Salza's insight:
I love this metaphor--technology in the hands of teachers and students--unsequestered by tech lab walls--in the classrooms and learning centers has thrown open formerly closed gates of the curriculum and crossed the moat that was once used to control which textbooks, and which information got included in students' learning
Technology doesn't magically change teacher's practice. You can have students use iPads in much the same way that they once used slate boards. But what new technologies like tablets or laptops can do is open new avenues for conversation. In schools where every child has a portable, multimedia creation device, what can we do differently? What is possible now that wasn't possible before?
Cuban argues pursuasively that the most powerful practice for meaningful reform in schools is teacher professional development in learning communities:
"What promises to increase the worth of districtwide professional development, especially if based within schools and involving teachers in the planning, are those efforts concentrating on prevailing beliefs among teachers about teaching and learning, current norms in the school community, and classroom practices. When teachers work together to examine student work and analyze classroom lessons, they figure out collectively what works and what doesn't, and they build a culture of learning across grade levels in elementary school s and within departments in secondary school. They build and share pedagogical capital—a scarce resource because isolation is endemic to age-graded schools"

When we talk about how our education system is failing our students, there are a lot of different options presented on how to 'fix' it. Everyone has an answer, a promising new way of thinking, a potential magic bullet. Inevitably, we also examine school systems that are working as a part of investigating what to do or not to do with our own.…
Lou Salza's insight:
The research in the US is murky at best, but commonsense and the data suggest we put too much emphasis on compliance with excessive homework requirements. Grading practice problem sets in math for example troubles me because practice should not be evaluated except as it proves an effective path towards mastery. Likewise, giving students failing grades for failing to hand in homework when they have mastered subject matter is irrational. --Lou
Excerpt:" ....And one of those that is working and is almost always mentioned is Finland. Their students regularly top the charts on global education metrics despite a lack of homework and more away-from-the-desk time during the school day. No homework is a pretty drastic measure in most people's minds, so how does it work?
The handy infographic below takes a look at why homework doesn't seem to be a necessity given the structure of the rest of the system.

Chambers has dyslexia and he's a role model and spokesperson for the learning disability. But he still finds it painful to talk about it.
Lou Salza's insight:
I so appreciate the balanced perspective taken in this article. --Lou
"By anyone's standards (even his own), Cisco CEO John Chambers has a great and enviable life.
He's fabulously wealthy (paid $21 million last year alone), flies around in his own private jet meeting with presidents and kings bringing tech to rich nations and impoverished countries alike.
But sometimes, he remembers being a young child whose teachers thought he wasn't smart and wouldn't go to college.
Chambers has dyslexia, a learning disability, and, years ago, he accidentally became a public spokesperson for it...."
For dyslexic children, what begins as an educational problem can quickly descend into an emotional problem.
Lou Salza's insight:
According to Thomas Mann: "Everything is politics".
According to the former Speaker of the U.S. House, Tip O'Neill: "all politics is local". Thank you to the folks at Decoding Dyslexia all over the USA for their remarkably strong, successful efforts at advancing advocacy for dyslexics in State governments!--Lou
".....School reading or writing assignments may serve as triggers for intensely negative emotions of fear, stress, and anxiety, which in turn lead to memory and attention disruptions, which lead to physiological manifestations of that unease—and in some cases, catastrophic thoughts. By considering these cascading effects, we can understand why depression and, sadly, suicide rates for dyslexic children are higher than for the general population.
This sort of cycle is well-known in psychology, with the "anxiety cascade" being taught over many decades, even in basic psychology courses. The diagram included in this article adapts that cycle to specifically address the pattern observed in dyslexic children.
Because of this "Vortex of Dyslexia," early intervention for children is critical. Dyslexia is in many ways an invisible struggle. If dyslexic children are not properly evaluated and treated what may seem to outsiders as "simple" reading and writing difficulties can grow into far more significant psychological or physiological problems..."
Interactive Time-Lapse Map Shows How the U.S. Took More Than 1.5 Billion Acres From Native Americans
From www
This interactive map, produced by University of Georgia historian Claudio Saunt to accompany his new book West of the Revolution: An Uncommon History of 1776, offers a time-lapse vision of the transfer of Indian land between 1776 and 1887. As blue "Indian homelands" disappear, small red areas appear, indicating the establishment of reservations. (Above is a GIF of the map's time-lapse display; visit the map's page to play with its features.)

Powerful teaching tool!-Lou
"...While the time-lapse function is the most visually impressive aspect of this interactive, the "source map" option (available on the map's site) offers a deep level of detail. By selecting a source map, and then zooming in to the state you've selected, you can see details of the map used to generate that section of the interactive. A pop-up box tells you which Native nation was resident on the land, and the date of the treaty or executive order that transferred the area to the government, as well as offering external links to descriptions of the treaty and of the tract of land..."

Report Identifies 'Intuitive' Technology, Hybrid Learning as Emerging Ed-Tech Trends By Danielle Wilson
From blogs
Hybrid learning models, motion-based technology and the use of open resources are all expected to become more prevalent in the coming years, according to a new report.
Lou Salza's insight:
While this article divides these emerging technologies into three categories based on predicted adoption rates, these are all happening somewhere right now. That leads me to ask, how long can it really be until we find these changes and innovations happening in our students' homes and gaming environments? And once that happens, our traditional classrooms are rendered not only obsolete which they are already--but anachronistic-- which is an embarrassment.---Lou
"Trends expected in five years or more:The rapid acceleration of "intuitive technology" is providing a learning experience where learners interact with devices entirely by using natural movements and gestures, the authors of the report say. Motion-based technology through smartphones, tablets, and even game systems allow learners to engage freely. Examples given in the report refer to children using multi-touch walls and interactive displays at museums, and teachers in Virginia using games with motion-based technology improved social and verbal communication skills of students with autism spectrum disorders. Overall changes in the structure of schools are aimed to create innovative school designs and restructuring school schedules to allow more flexibility and cultivate student creativity. The report notes that the multi-disciplinary nature of project-based learning and other models requires subjects to be linked to one another, without the restriction of bell schedules and classrooms. Students at Venture Academy in Minneapolis go to school in a repurposed printing plant without structured classrooms and at High Tech High in San Diego students work freely throughout the school building, designing structures and producing multimedia..."

Scientists and engineers (S&E) with LDs is not unheard of: approximately 0.9 percent (311) of all (34531) S&E doctoral recipients in 2011 self identified as having one or more learning disorders. I wish these numbers were higher despite the extensive amount of reading or computing necessary for completion of these degrees and within a career. I wish I could say that individuals with LDs are more likely to succeed than their coworkers without LDs, but I honestly have no idea how LDs correlate to 'success' in S&E.
Lou Salza's insight:
Share this message of resilience and success with students who are print challenged in school. School is not forever! The system in schools may be rigged against children with dyslexia; while the marketplace focuses on what you can do and accomplish. Hang in there!--Lou
"I hope schools will become more cognizant of identifying and helping students with LDs. I hope research program admission committees can look beyond test scores and GPAs when accepting new students (I was rejected from 7 out of 8 I applied for). I hope students are able to be open about their LDs with their bosses, working together to find the most efficient and helpful ways to have meetings, write papers, perform experiments and present results. I hope that no scientist or engineer with LDs feels like they're alone. But most of all, I hope struggling students and adults with LDs are able to feel good about who they are."

Lubbock, Texas (PRWEB) June 15, 2014 -- Merinda K. Condra, CEO of Generation Covenant, announces Groundbreaking to Begin Construction of New Location of The Institute for Creative Learners. The Institute for Creative Learners fosters a life long love of learning in children by combining art, cutting edge technology, science, and multisensory instruction to help each child obtain academic success while celebrating each child's gifts. -- 3302 67th Street, Lubbock, Texas -- June 17, 2014 10:00 AM
Lou Salza's insight:
Love the sound of this!-Lou
The Institute for Creative Learners is focused on assisting those students who struggle with learning as a result of Dyslexia and other learning differences. However, rather than focus only on the challenges associated with Dyslexia, the Institute seeks to capitalizes on their inherent creativity and artistic ability.
According to Ms. Condra, "These children are 'out-of-the-box' thinkers. They are the innovators, inventors, entrepreneurs, and artists of their generation. In fact, more than one third of successful US entrepreneurs are reportedly dyslexic."
Further, Ms. Condra states, "The children we serve are full of amazing potential that is only limited by what they believe they can do. Without intervention, (the earlier the better) these children can suffer a hit to their self-esteem that can be irreparable. Without intervention, our world can be deprived of their spark – deprived of the next great inventor, artist, or entrepreneur -- deprived of innovations that can make our world better. At the Institute, we help these children see their own potential. We foster their strengths while we address their needs. We nurture their spark."

23) money matters and they must know about how to earn it, manage it, save it.
24) doing enough practical things -- using power tools, changing a tire, coping with technology -- helps women feel competent and in charge, but I also want them to know there is no shame in calling a mechanic or a plumber or tech support.

Mr. Jason Sepsi (Technology Director for the Upper School) and Mrs. Jackie Hersh (Technology Integration Specialist for the Upper School) traveled to Connecticut and New York to visit Eagle Hill - Southport, Foreman School, and Kildonnan School. The purpose of their visit was to observe and share best practices in technology in both the Lower School and Upper School grade levels. Each school they visited shared a mission similar to Lawrence School, and Jason and Jackie learned a lot about how other schools integrate assistive technology, particularly in the area of iPad use. As a result of their collaborative engagement with other experts in the field of educational technology, Jason and Jackie have built a bridge of knowledge that will enhance and improve learning opportunities for the Lawrence School students for years to come!
Lou Salza's insight:
Collaboration between and among schools that serve diverse learners will not only advance practices in our sector of the independent school community--but it may save children in public school districts from the folly of such practices as we see here in Ohio where children will be retained in the third grade next year if they fail to achieve a "cut score" on the State achievement assessment. Because of Ohio's education system failure and through no fault of their own; 30 -40% of our third graders (8 year old children) will be traumatized along with their families and consigned to the ranks of future high school dropouts--the fate of most children who are retained in grade during elementary school. Schools like the ones mentioned in this article --across the country--know better and do better with some of the highest risk, language learners in our schools. Been doing better for forty years! Ask us! We can help! We want to help! Just sayin'--Lou
From the Lawrence Loop:
Sharing Best PracticesEarlier this month, two groups of administrators and teachers traveled to the east coast to visit other schools that serve students with language-based learning differences.During the first trip, Mrs.Cheryl Cook (Upper School Academic Dean), Mr. Corey Nist (High School Teacher), Mrs. Dave Rogers (Lower School Teacher) and Ms. Lakeshia Richardson (Lower School teacher) traveled to Boston to visit with representatives from five other schools across the country that serve students with language-based learning differences. The summit was held at Carroll School outside of Boston and included the Lab School of Washington, Noble Academy in North Carolina, and the Hamilton School at Wheeler. The goal of the trip was to provide teachers from various LD schools to meet, mingle, network and share best practices. The group returned to Lawrence with renewed passion for our mission as well as new ideas to explore.

Activate Stovall today. New QB needs all the weapons on offense he can get. Double him as a TE if you like, but get him in the game. This guy is a waste of talent on the sideline without his uniform on.
How do we know he's even any good? Just because he was drafted high? If he had any talent he would've been playing from week one.
Open your eyes. Read any of my posts about him. I have been watching him closely since his college days and I know what he is capable of. He played well in preseason as well and you should have seen posts on that.
Gradkowski and Stovall had a good rapport in the preseason. They looked very good together. I think nearly every pass Stovall hauled in was from Gradkowski. If we are going to play the rookies then Stovalll should be there, too.
Id rather Stovall was active than either Mallard or Cash.
Actually, Gradkowski and Edell had a better rapport. Too bad though.

Norwich — The seven Norwich police officers who were placed on administrative leave after they shot and killed a man who allegedly pointed a gun at them on Feb. 24 have returned to work.
They returned to work on different dates, and the investigation is continuing under the direction of the New London County State's Attorney's Office, Norwich police Capt. Patrick Daley said Saturday night.
Michael Dugas, 52, died of multiple gunshot wounds. Norwich police said they were called to the neighborhood park in the area of Laurel Hill Avenue and Center Street for a report of a man with a gun.
Police said they attempted to communicate with Dugas for an unspecified period of time. Dugas suddenly drew a handgun from his pocket and pointed it at them, police said. Police said they were forced to defend themselves and shoot.
Officers Mark Dean, Kyle Besse, Greg McDonald, Scott Meikle, Anthony Marceau, Richard Cannata and Chase Chiangi were placed on leave while state police investigated the shooting.

Officers pull over two suspicious young men and promptly learn that they have contraband. They find marijuana and cocaine, then cuff a sobbing perp.
Two officers notice a young man walking in the middle of the street and stop him for safety purposes. He tries to hide narcotics down his pants and run, so officers are forced to detain him in any way possible.
When a search turns up positive for narcotics, an already cuffed suspect takes drastic measures and attempts to fend off officers with his shoes. It does not work out very well for him.
Officers prepare for anything as they respond to a report of an unruly man vandalizing cars. They arrive to find a naked and volatile man blockaded in his own home. After failed attempts to take him quietly, they are forced to use the taser.
The bait car program is a great asset to the Palm Beach Sherriff's Dept. On this particular night, a troubled youth steals a truck and takes it on a joyride. After he's apprehended by police, he tries to eat his illegal drugs, to no avail.
It's an excuse that experienced officers have heard all to often. When a perp is busted with contraband they always use the excuse that "it's not theirs." Good thing for us: the boys in blue weren't born yesterday.
As Officer Edward Alleman patrols the streets of Lafayette, LA, an armed robbery report comes over the radio. He responds, collects evidence, and proceeds to nab the armed perpetrators.
When Glendale PD responds to a report of a shoplifter, they respond and secure the location. When the would-be bandit attempts to run on foot, our point officer is left with no choice but to take him to the pavement. The result is a form tackle that John Madden would be proud of.
When undercover police officers spot a man leaving a known drug residence, they try and stop him for a routine check. When the man runs, it's time for the boys in blue to apprehend him using any means necessary.
As officers in Lafayette, LA close in on a reportedly stolen vehicle, they get a first-person view of a vicious car crash.

Hickman's Mr. Hankey
Product Description
How many times have you missed takes when fishing a mouse fly? Usually it is due to one of two reasons. The premature hook set: The second you see the fish, you eagerly attempt to set the hook, pulling the fly away before it even touches it. Or possibly it is one of those short striking fish with a depth perception problem: You patiently let the fish take the fly from the surface, but it only eats the tail as though it were a spaghetti noodle. You shouldn't feel bad, I too had these same problems. That is until three years ago when my mouse fly of choice became Mr. Hanky. I think it's time you too turned all those missed takes into fish porn for the photo album. When I sat down at the vise to resolve the over anxious hook set and near sighted fish issues, I also wanted to create a mouse fly that was friendly to the fish. I got sick of seeing fish hooked in their eyeballs and tongues by mouse flies tied on wide gapped bass hooks. I wanted a mouse fly with an upturned hook sized properly for the size of fish being targeted. The fly would need to ride right-side-up every cast and float in the water the way a real live mouse does. The majority of large trout don't come air borne to eat mice swimming across the surface. They act more as though they were an emerging blue winged olive mayfly, and casually sip them under. With all of these things in mind, Mr. Hanky The Stinger Mouse was born. In rivers and creeks, Mr. Hanky is best presented downstream and across the current. He is best fished with a tight line making him skate across the current, though he can also be extremely effective on a dead-drift. Either method you use, slight twitches with the rod tip give him life and help the productivity. In lakes or slack water, you cant strip him too, do it fast. Making high pitched mouse sounds and talking as though you are the mouse frantically swimming in the water, also helps.

Ichiro, Putz selected for All-Star Game
It's seventh appearance for OF, first for Mariners closer
SEATTLE -- After watching several All-Star Games on television, Mariners closer J.J. Putz finally gets to see one in person."I don't think it's going to sink in until I actually get there and get around the festivities," the right-hander said Sunday afternoon after being selected to his first Midsummer Classic. "That's what guys who have been there have told me. They also said it's going to be something I'll never forget. I am looking forward to it." While Putz will represent the Mariners for the first time, center fielder Ichiro Suzuki made it 7-for-7 in his MLB career -- landing a starting spot in the American League outfield for the sixth time. Ichiro, who leads the Major Leagues in hits, finished third among AL outfielders with more than two million votes. "This is my seventh year as an All-Star consecutively and when I played in Japan, I played in seven consecutive All-Star Games, as well," he said. "So it has been a goal of mine to do the same here, and to be able to accomplish that makes me very happy." The 78th Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and Sportsnet HD and televised around the world by Major League Baseball International, with pregame ceremonies beginning at 5 p.m. PT. ESPN Radio will provide exclusive national radio coverage, while MLB.com will provide extensive online coverage. XM will provide satellite radio play-by-play coverage of the XM All-Star Futures Game.
The Mariners are in Oakland prior to the three-day All-Star break, but stay at a hotel on the San Francisco side of the Bay Bridge. Putz and Ichiro don't have far to go, and won't even have to change hotel rooms.But J.J. had a long way to go to get where he is today. He went three weeks of the regular season before getting his first save opportunity, but since then has reeled off 23 consecutive saves through Sunday afternoon's game against the Blue Jays. He has surrendered one earned run all season, set a franchise record with 11 saves in June and been summoned from the bullpen seven times in the eighth inning, succeeding each time. Opposing hitters are batting .107 (9-for-84) against him in save situations, he has retired the side in order 10 times in save situations and his 26:6 strikeout-to-walk ratio is out of this world.
"I wouldn't be in this position without the guys pitching in front of me doing their job all year long," Putz said. "There have been days I've been out there when I wasn't perfect and they turned double plays. But it's a great honor to be selected."He currently ranks third in the AL in saves, one behind Joe Borowski (Indians) and Francisco Rodriguez (Angels). "I have tried not to think too much about [being selected] until it happened," Putz said. And now that he has been selected, Putz said he would be taking "my whole family", which includes his wife, twin daughters, mom, dad and brother. I think some of my wife's family will be driving up from Southern California." Asked what he was most looking forward to during his two days in San Francisco, Putz said, "The entire thing. Sitting on the field during the Home Run Derby is something that's going to be pretty cool. The gala they have afterwards is going to be pretty neat. "But just being around the best of the best is something that I'm going to soak in, I can promise you that." The 2003 season marked the introduction of the Player Ballot to the All-Star selection process. Each league's players, managers and coaches elect eight position players and eight pitchers from their league. Catchers and infielders who finish in the top two at their position on the Player Ballot, and outfielders among the top six, are assured of making the All-Star Team. In instances where the winners of the Player Ballot are also fan-elected starters, the player with the next highest amount of votes on the Player Ballot makes the All-Star Team. Eight pitchers -- five starters and three relievers -- become All-Stars through the Player Ballot. The manager of each World Series team from the prior season -- in this year's case, Detroit's Jim Leyland and St. Louis' Tony La Russa -- then fills the remaining slots on their respective teams, ensuring that one player from all 30 clubs is named to the All-Star Game.
Ichiro, meanwhile, is rapidly making his way to another season of at least 200 hits, adding to his record for most consecutive 200-hit seasons to begin a Major League career. The hit-happy left-handed hitter had a so-so April -- batting .305 -- but turned it on in early May and has been torrid ever since.He started May with three consecutive hitless games, went 0-for-4 against the Yankees on May 5, and then embarked on a club-record 25-game hitting streak. In fact, Ichiro has at least one hit in 47 of his last 50 games and his .365 batting average is second in the Major Leagues to Detroit's Magglio Ordonez (.370). "It never gets old hat," he said of being selected. "It is something very exciting for me."

Pours an ink black color with deep mocha colored head that leaves a nice sheet of lace behind,aromas of rum and butter dominate but there is a slight presence of grassy hop that adds to the aroma complexities.Think and full mouthfeel with rich buttery flavors with a rum/alcohol finish that really warms the inside and is very sustaining.Wow a big badass impy stout with tons of complexities Iam glad I have more to say the least.

12oz bottle poured into Ol' Trusty Pint Glass.
Appearance: Holy blackness. I hold this up to the light and NOTHING gets through. And with a chocolate-colored head. Wow. This clearly means business.
Smell: Lots of coffee here. Some hints of chocolate, smokiness. I don't really smell alcohol here.
Taste: Tastes like coffee with hints of chocolate coming through. I'm not really tasting any of the alcohol, which is surprising. None of the flavors are particularly overpowering - it's a little more... subdued... than what I expected from other reviews. I expected to have to sip this one a little more, but it's going down MUCH more quickly.
Mouthfeel: Pretty clean. Taste doesn't linger at all. Not sticky afterwards.
Overall: Ohhh boy. This is dangerous - I can drink this MUCH faster than the other stouts I've recently reviewed. I'd say that this goes down almost too easy, but since when is that a bad thing when in the confines of one's own home and not driving back from a bar?

Appearance This is dark brown in color with a straight brown head. You dont see that very often.
Smell The booze here is prominent at the nose. The malts are very dark without being roasty and the sugar is sweet but slightly burnt as well, like a good raw sugar.
Taste The alcohol is still here but eases a bit at the taste, giving this a well-balanced flavor profile. The sugars smooth out as well. Of course the highlight is the wonderfully big and rich malt base. It is like a cross between liquid malt and nicely-toasted barley.
Mouthfeel This is medium in the body and expertly balanced. The balance really made this RIS for me.
Drinkability This is a terrific-drinking ale that has just enough booze at the taste to keep the drinker honest.
Comments Thanks to skyhand for busting this one out at her Semi-Annual Sewage Sale.

Picked up a bottle at Cest le Vin. Pours like hot tar into an imperial pint glass. ¼ in head quickly dissipates to a thin film. The film nevers quite goes away, sticking with the beer as long as it lasts, clinging beautifully rich and brown to the sides of the glass. Seems to be almost no carbonation.
Tastes wonderfully nutty, then dark chocolate and burnt coffee flavors creep up on you, before a warming alcohol and bitter coffee finish takes you home. Somewhere in there you also get sideswiped by dark, vinous fruits.
Smells like alcohol, cherries, and charcoal.
Mouth feel is pure velvet but perhaps a bit undercarbonated. A bit too bitter for my tastes too.
Drinkability. I couldnt down more than one or maybe two of these in a sitting, iots too bitter and the alcohol shows through a bit too much, however, this beer leaves me quite happy and I would certainly enjoy another tomorrow, and the next day, and the next

As I was pouring this beer, I thought to myself - "what beer is more black than this one?" ...and the answer is none. None more black. Not only is it black as can be, it's thicker than you can imagine. It plops into the glass without making a sound. Then, to top it all off, the head is the darkest MF'ing head I've ever seen. This head is darker than most brown ales. Huge, foamy, frothy, two and a half finger head that lasts for a long, long time. I've never been so aroused by just looking at a beer.
The smell is incredible and it hits your nose while you're pouring the beer, well before you bring it to your face. An abundance of roasted malts and barley washes over your senses like nothing else; deep, dark, bittersweet cocoa beans, espresso, molasses, char-broiled smoke, and a wave of leafy hops. The nose is as powerful as this beer is dark, and the only thing left to do is taste it.
FIS hits your palate like a semi-melted milkshake or warm syrup - this stuff is thick, bold, and robust beyond belief. So many traditional RIS flavors clashing, yet executed so elegantly well. Deeply roasted malts, hot molasses, dark, thick espresso - it's all there. Some light hints of sweetness come through; licorice, old figs, anise, dark fudge - but the sweetness is balanced extremely well by a huge wave of hops. At 90 IBUs, this RIS packs a punch in the hop department - slightly floral, leafy, ashy, dry, and a touch spicy, the hop bitterness plays well with the malt bomb and makes this 10.5% stout incredibly drinkable.
The alcohol is present, warming, and adds a bold character without being abrasive or off-putting. A nice smokey and campfire-roasted element can be found in FIS; almost similar to Founder's Porter, only amped up about ten times. A nice woody, charred, and smoked flavor in the aftertaste really adds a great deal to the already massive flavor profile. Coupled with the huge, creamy, and thick body, this beer is one of the most bad-ass things I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. Carbonation was just right, enough to make the body silky and bring out the flavors.
Good god, Founder's knows what the hell they're doing over there in Grand Rapids. For the longest time, I used to rave about FBS, but the FIS takes things to a whole new level. I know they are slightly different styles, but this is a pinnacle in Founders' line-up and really, a pinnacle in RIS's altogether if you ask me. Kind of hard to find, even in season, but worth taking the time to seek out a few 4-packs. This beer is goddamn delicious.
EDIT: recently had a bottle aged two years (bottled Jan 2011, enjoyed Jan 2013). The alcohol was still bold, still assertive, and still mild enough to enjoy perfectly. The smokey, campfire aspect was a little toned down, but this allowed for the chocolate to really jump out. Mouth feel was still silky smooth, and though the carbonation had lost some of its bang, it was still enough to produce that gorgeous, dark tan head. I think I prefer this one fresh, but it's amazing either way.

Reviewed from notes made on 1/9/11. This was bottled in 11/09 and I had to hold the bottle right up to a light because the date had become so faded.
Whoa, this beer is so dark. This is right up there with the blackest stouts I've seen, if not the blackest. After a medium-hard pour into a snifter, a one and a half finger dark mocha head rests on top. There is some deep red color at the edges, but the body is quite opaque. Thick clumps of froth drip down the glass post-sip and leave small dots and swirly streaks of vertical lacing.
Roasted malts, espresso, bitter cocoa, molasses, vanilla - every aroma you could possibly want from a Russian Imperial Stout exists in the bouquet. When swirled, roasted malts and nuttiness take over the profile. Conversely, when at rest the coffee and chocolate aromas dominate. Way back in the bouquet are some dark fruit scents.
The flavor brings big time roast notes at first, with anise and molasses supporting. As the beer mellows over my tongue, bitter chocolate, espresso, and creamy vanilla coat, followed by a roasty malt and earthy hop finish. Throughout the sip, there is certain acidity that complements the roasted flavors.
The mouthfeel is rather forward and biting at times. The acidity makes for a puckering feel for the whole sip, while a creamy medium to full body takes the reins in the middle. The finish is quite dry and does a nice job of cleaning my palate.
Founders IS is a delicious slow-sipper and is a damn fine interpretation of the style. The taste is maybe just a tad bitter and acidic, but is also big, bold, and flavorful. This is one of which I will always pick up a four pack each year it comes out and enjoy the bottles over the course of time.

4/5 rDev -8.3%
A - Poured 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Dark black opaque color with a dark tan head that retained fairly well but not that great. 75% of the way through the beer it was gone. Large carbonation bubbles in the head.
S - Smelled of dark chocolates..burnt coffee...maltiness...minimal alchohol.
T - Relates with smell....but not in that order...burnt coffee in the taste department sticks out most...notes of dark chocolates and a warming alchohol sensation. Very robust.
M - Smooth, low carbonation feel (if any) warm towards the end mostly (10% alchohol).
D - Very drinkable. Liked it alot. I dont think I'd do more than 2 or 3 in a session though.
Notes - The label appears to give an idea of the date of the beer...probably prior to 2005, according to the description on the front page for this beer, Founders made an ingredient change 2005 and beyond..this is November 2006, beer still was good, can't wait to try one fresher.

4.38/5 rDev +0.5%
A: Pours black with a persistent sticky, dark brown head made of cream, mousse-like bubbles.
S: Strong roast aroma and a good amount of coffee with a depth dark roasted grain aromas. Prunes and moderate citrus hops with the fresh hopped grassy note. There is some licorice and a moderate alcohol aroma.
T:Again lots of roast with some molasses and licorice. Firm hops bitterness with a good bit of roast bitterness and a moderately-light citrus hops flavor. There is a light malt sweetness but the balance is fairly bitter with a medium dry finish.
M: full bodied with moderate carbonation.
O: A thick, rich imperial stout that has a huge amount of flavor and complexity. I'm usually unhappy with licorice and molasses in beers because they usually seem to dominate but here there a part of the rich tapestry of flavors

Oily, black pour with a big, pillowy abyss of very dark brown head that's gonna leave some lacing. Very nice.
Hefty nose of hops, bitter coffee, oak, dark chocolate, sawdust?, maybe leather. Alot going on here for sure.
This one is not for the faint of heart. Thick and milky in the mouth, coating all surfaces with intense dark chocolate, alot of hop flavor for the style,an earthy dustiness, and a nice little alcohol burn to warm ya up to go with the long, dry finish.
This is a hoss and a sipper for sure. I'll be putting a 4-pack of it in my cellar shortly.

12 oz. bottle poured into a snifter.
A: Motor oil, with an almost insignificant amount of brown carbonation. The only thing I've ever seen darker was ten fidy.
S: Sweet roasty chocolate, a tad bit of dark fruit. Smells very flavorful and delicious. One of the best aromas of any beer.
T: Starts very sweet, chocolaty malt, a tad bit of dark fruit that I noticed halfway into the drink. Finishing roasty, a bit of coffee but toned down compared to the Breakfast stout. A tinge of alcohol in the finish. It was a symphony of flavors that was really really nice.
M/D: Really full bodied, very thick and carbonation is only slighty noticeable. It is a very drinkable beer but the slight tinge of alcohol at the end knocks this category down a notch. It doesn't make it a sipper though.
An absolutely amazing beer, I like this better than Breakfast stout. Can't wait for their Bourbon cousin in March.

OAKLAND -- The Oakland Coliseum has come alive in the American League Division Series, and the A's have spoken every night about how the raucous, loud crowds have helped them storm back to tie the series with the Detroit Tigers at 2.
If the A's win on Thursday night to advance to the AL Championship Series, it will get a lot louder.
Oakland announced that the team will remove the tarps that covered the seats on the third deck of the main grandstand for Games 1 and 2, opening up 11,698 new seats for a potential ALCS matchup against the Yankees or Orioles.
"We certainly need to get there first," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "We don't get ahead of ourselves. Boy, it's loud to begin with. I was having a tough time communicating with my coaches in the ninth inning [Wednesday night], it was so loud. And you put another 12,000 people, it will be deafening."
The Coliseum was sold out for Games 1 and 2, and based on those ticket sales and projections for a possible three or four games in the ALCS, the seats were opened and will be sold for $55 each should the A's advance. Total capacity for the ALCS and World Series will now be 47,505.
"This has been a sensational year for the Athletics and for our fans," team owner Lew Wolff said in a club statement. "We are thrilled with the tremendous outpouring of fan support."
Tickets can be purchased online at www.oaklandathletics.com/postseason.
Norberto unavailable if A's move on
OAKLAND -- Should the A's move on to the American League Championship Series on Thursday night, they'll have to do so without stalwart lefty reliever Jordan Norberto.
Norberto, who has been sidelined since mid-August with shoulder tendinitis, was left off the AL Division Series roster as he continues to rehab, and manager Bob Melvin said Thursday, "It's tough to consider him an option no matter how far we go."
The 25-year-old southpaw was slated to throw from 135 feet in the afternoon, but has yet to reach a mound for a bullpen session.
Norberto gave the A's 52 innings of work this year from a variety of roles, posting a 2.77 ERA along the way.
