Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
Add beautiful mood lighting at outdoor gatherings. Why not craft up a set to use this summer.
Just because gift cards are a quick and easy holiday gift giving solution, doesn't mean you should skimp on their presentation.
Here's a cute solution to giving your gift cards – present them in this little envelope ornament that the recipient can hang on their Christmas tree and cherish long after the card is spent.
Begin by using your paper trimmer to cut a strip of cardstock that measures 4.5 inches wide and 9 inches long. With the patterned side out, fold the strip into thirds, lengthwise. Use a bone folder to crease the folds.
Use your large circle punch to punch a circular notch from the end of the strip.
Run a strip of adhesive or a line of glue along the outer edges (see arrows) of the middle section of the paper strip. Fold the bottom section up and squeeze together.
Punch two small holes along the crease between the top and middle sections.
Use a border punch, or a pair of shaper scissors to give the envelope flap a decorative edge.
Run a length of ribbon or twine through the holes and tie the ends together to create a hanger for your envelope ornament.
Now you've created the basic form, and it's time to have some fun decorating the the outside. Below are three ideas to try. I encourage you to pull out all your punches, paper shapers, and holiday stamps and stickers to and create some unique designs for your friends and family.
Holiday House
For this design, the Up on the Roof Top border punch was used to create the peaks on the house. Begin by punching a border along the edge of a sheet of cardstock. Cut it into sections of varying heights. Use adhesive foam dots to attach the sections to the envelope and build your house. Cut a small rectangle to use as a door and use a tiny brad as a doorknob. Landscape the house with a few tree shapes. Add a wreath. Insert a gift card to a home décor or home improvement store.
Glittery Gifts
For this design, punch out a few trees and a whole lot of presents from an assortment of glittery holiday papers. Trim your trees with a few rhinestones and glue the trees to the card. Attach several rows of gifts using adhesive foam dots to create dimension and build a pile of presents beneath the trees. Add a gift card from their favorite gift shop.
Make a little collage using your favorite shapes and border punches. In the center of the card, attach a glittered monogram. Trim with a few jingle bells and insert a gift card.

Our View
Date: July 8, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Not even that could dampen the "Spirit of America" last weekend on Longboat Key.
The Fourth of July was an All-American day here.
And it started with a bang — the annual Freedom Fest parade and celebration, orchestrated by the Longboat Key, Lido Key and St. Armands Key Chamber of Commerce. Talk about a perfect slice of Americana — that was it.
As our photographs on page 1B show, the patriotic show of colors was in full splendor — even if the number of parade marchers was barely enough to make a crowd. They were indeed red, white and true blue — from the youngest to the oldest to four-legged furriest.
Hamburgers and hot dogs may have been missing, but the morning fare was no less All-American — a melting pot of Harry's Continental Kitchens' German pancakes, Ciao! Italia's cannolis and Blue Dolphin's waffles. German, Italian and Greek all mixed together — you can't get more American than that.
And that was just the start.
If you ever want to see youth on Longboat Key, Freedom Fest brings them out. It looked as though children outnumbered adults (a historical first on Longboat Key for sure). And, boy, did they have fun — and games.
Their faces were priceless as they released 36 butterflies into the air (thank you, Longboat Key Garden Club), played hot-potato with water balloons or raced each other while balancing a raw egg on a spoon.
It was a blast.
The loudest blasts, of course, came after dark, when Murf Klauber's Colony Beach & Tennis Resort lighted the southern Longboat skies, while on the northern end of the Key the Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant and Pub, Moore's Stone Crab Restaurant and The Longboat Observer sponsored their first Fourth of July Fireworks Extravaganza. A great night it was. We've never seen so many cars parked along Gulf of Mexico Drive outside the Colony. Klauber said the Colony hosted 700 fireworks watchers, while Mar Vista and Moore's estimated they hosted about 1,000 viewers for a splendid show.
As a nation, we may be down, we may be struggling, we may be hurting. But it was reassuring last weekend on Longboat Key to see the "Spirit of America" — family, fun, flag and fidelity — was as alive as it has always been.
Big thank-you's go to all those involved in sponsoring, organizing and executing last weekend's community events on Longboat Key. Special recognition:
• Freedom Fest lead sponsors — The Longboat Observer, Cannons Marina (David Miller), Casa del Mar Beach Resort (D.M. Williams), Longboat Key Kiwanis Club, town of Longboat Key;
• Freedom Fest sponsors — Blue Dolphin Cafe (Robbie Ball), Ciao! Italia (Carmine Astuto), Harry's Continental Kitchens (Harry and Lynn Christensen), Encore Motors;
• Freedom Fest co-chairs — Lisa and Matt Walsh;
• Freedom Fest Flag patrons — Craig Robson, Superior Asphalt

Quark (dairy product)
Quark is a type of fresh dairy product. It is made by warming soured milk until the desired degree of coagulation (denaturation) of milk proteins is met, and then strained.[1] Dictionaries usually translate it as curd cheese or cottage cheese, although most commercial varieties of cottage cheese are made with rennet, whereas traditional quark is not. It is soft, white and unaged, and usually has no salt added.
Quark is distinct from ricotta because ricotta (Italian: "recooked") is made from scalded whey. It is also similar to yogurt cheeses such as the South Asian chak(k)a, the Arabic labneh, and the Central Asian suzma or kashk, but while these products are obtained by straining yogurt (milk fermented with thermophile bacteria), quark is made from milk fermented with mesophile bacteria.
The name comes from the Late Middle High German Quark, centuries earlier also spelled Quarck[2] was also called twarc, dwarg,quarc, quargel[3] zwarg -- meaning Zwerg (English dwarf) -- for its smaller than regular cheese size. The Greek name for cheese is recorded as Tyros, Tyr, Turo [4] It is also known in Lower Sorbian Slavic as tvarog[5] (Polish twaróg, Belarusian тварог, Russian творог, and Czech and Slovak tvaroh) which also means "curd". In Austria, the name Topfen (pot cheese) is used. In Flanders, it is called plattekaas (flat cheese), while the Dutch use the name kwark. In French it is called fromage à la pie. In Denmark, it is called kvark. In Norway and Sweden, it is called kvarg. In Hungarian cuisine it is termed túró, with the word juhtúró referring to quark made from ewe's milk.
The cheese product starts out as thick milk or soured milk (from German Dicke Milch or Saure Milch/Sauermilch M.H.G surmilch), or as "white cheese" (Polish: ser biały, Lithuanian: Baltas sūris, southern Germany: Weißkäse or weißer Käs, Hebrew: Gvina Levana גבינה לבנה, Serbian: beli sir), as opposed to any rennet-set "yellow cheese". In Finnish, it is known as rahka, while in Estonian, as kohupiim (foamy milk). In Latvian, it is called biezpiens (thick milk). The French-language word for it is seré, but it is most commonly called fromage blanc.
Quark is possibly described by Tacitus in his book Germania as lac concretum (thick milk), eaten by Germanic peoples.[6]
Quark is a member of the acid set cheese group, meaning it is traditionally made without the aid of rennet.[7] However, in most German dairies today, it is made with rennet ("Lab" in German).[8] Lactic acid bacteria are added in the form of mesophilic Lactococcus starter cultures.[9][10] Acidification continues until the pH reaches 4.6, which causes precipitation of the casein proteins.
In Germany, the curd is continuously stirred to prevent it from getting hard, resulting in a thick, creamy texture. Quark is usually sold in plastic tubs with most or all of the whey. This type of quark has the firmness of sour cream but is slightly drier, resulting in a somewhat crumbly texture (like Italian ricotta), and contains in its basic form about 0.2% fat. Quark with higher fat content is made by adding cream, and is often sold flavored with herbs, spices, or fruit. It has a very smooth and creamy texture and is slightly sweet (unlike sour cream).
The Polish, Lithuanian, Russian, Ukrainian and Austrian varieties contain less whey and are therefore drier and more solid than varieties common in other countries. To make the firmer eastern European version, a small amount of rennet may be added to make the curd firmer. Some or most of the whey is removed to standardize the quark to the desired thickness. Traditionally, this is done by hanging the cheese in loosely woven cotton gauze called cheesecloth and letting the whey drip off, which gives quark its distinctive shape of a wedge with rounded edges. In industrial production, however, cheese is separated from whey in a centrifuge and later formed into blocks.
Quark consists of 60% to 80% water. Dry mass has 1% to 40% fat; most of the rest is protein (80% of which is casein), calcium, and phosphate.
Common uses[edit]
Various cuisines, especially those of German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), northern Europe (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden), the Netherlands,[11][12][13] Hungary, Israel, of Slavic peoples (e.g. Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians), and of Ashkenazy Jews feature quark as an ingredient for appetizers, salads, main dishes, side dishes and desserts.
In Germany, quark is sold in small plastic tubs and usually comes in three different varieties, Magerquark (lean quark, virtually fat-free), "regular" quark (20% fat in dry mass) and Sahnequark (creamy quark, 40% fat in dry mass) with added cream. Similar gradations in fat content are also common in Eastern Europe. While Magerquark is often used for baking and as health food, e.g. as a breakfast spread, Sahnequark also forms the basis of a large number of quark desserts (called Quarkdessert[14] or Quarkspeise in German). Much like yoghurts in some parts of the world, these foods mostly come with vanilla and fruit flavouring (Früchtequark, fruit quark), and are often also simply referred to as quark.
Quark is often used as an ingredient for sandwiches, salads, cheesecake (Käsekuchen or Quarkkuchen in Germany, Quarktorte in Switzerland, Topfenkuchen in Austria, kwarktaart in the Netherlands, tvarohovník in Slovakia, tvarožník in Czech Republic, sernik in Poland, and syrnik in Ukraine) and cheese pancakes (syrniki in Russia and Ukraine). In these cakes, the quark is typically mixed with eggs, milk or cream, and sugar, and baked or fried.[15][16][17] A firmer variant, called Schichtkäse (layer cheese) is sometimes used for Käsekuchen.
Quark, vegetable oil and wheat flour are the ingredients of a popular kind of dough, called Quarkölteig, used in German cuisine as an alternative to yeast-leavened dough in home baking, since it is considerably easier to handle and requires no rising period. The resulting baked goods look and taste very similar to yeast-leavened goods, although they do not last as long and are thus usually consumed immediately after baking.
In Poland, twaróg is mixed with mashed potatoes to produce a filling for pierogi. Twaróg is also used to make gnocchi-shaped dumplings called leniwe pierogi ("lazy pierogi"). Ukrainian recipes for vareniki or lazy vareniki are similar but tvorog and mashed potatoes are different fillings which are usually not mixed together.
In Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, tvorog (Russian: творог) is highly popular and is bought frequently by almost every family. As a result, tvorog is a member of the official minimal basket of foods in Russia.[18] In Russian families, it is especially recommended for growing babies. It can be simply enjoyed with sour cream, or jam, sugar, sugar condensed milk, as a breakfast food. It is often used as a stuffing in blinchiki offered at many fast-food restaurants. It is also commonly used as the base for making Easter cakes. It is mixed with eggs, sugar, raisins and nuts and dried into a solid pyramid-shaped mass called paskha. The mass can also be fried, then known as syrniki.
In Austria, Topfen is commonly used in baking in popular desserts like Topfenkuchen, Topfenstrudel and Topfen-Palatschinken (a form of crepes).
In Latvia, quark is eaten savory mixed with sour cream and scallions on rye bread or with potatoes. In desserts, quark is commonly baked into biezpiena plātsmaize, a crusted sheet cake baked with or without raisins. A sweetened treat biezpiena sieriņš (small curd cheese) is made of small sweetened blocks of quark dipped in chocolate.
In Switzerland, quark is recommended by some physiotherapists as an alternative to ice for treatment of swelling associated with sprains, etc.[citation needed] It can be cooled in a refrigerator and then applied to swollen tissues (enclosed in a plastic bag). The advantages over ice are that it does not get so cold, reducing risk of damage to treated tissue, but stays cooler longer.

Although common in Europe, manufacturing of quark is rare in the Americas. A few dairies manufacture it, such as the Vermont Creamery in Vermont,[19] and some specialty retailers carry it.[20][21][22] Lifeway Foods manufactures a product under the title "farmer cheese" which is available in a variety of metropolitan locations with former Russian populations. Quark is also available at several upstate NY farms.[23] In Canada, the firmer East European variety of quark is manufactured by Liberté Natural Foods; a softer German-style quark is manufactured in the Didsbury, Alberta plant of Calgary-based Foothills Creamery. Quark may also be available as "baking cheese", "pressed cottage cheese", fromage frais.[24]
In India, the Amul co-operative dairy products company sells Shrikhand and labels it as quark.[citation needed]
In Australia, it is sometimes available from supermarkets labelled as quark or quarg.

Huntsville school leaders said it's time to introduce a new dinner program for students.
School officials gave the program a test run for nine days at Rolling Hills Elementary. They fed about 200 children dinner everyday after school. Since everything went well during that pilot phase, they're now ready to expand the program to more schools.
The meals are paid for through the USDA Child and Adult Care food program. To participate, the school has to be a title one school, which means at least half the students must qualify for free or reduced lunches.
The school also has to have an enrichment program after school, like tutoring or after school care.
School officials are already sending home surveys to parents.
They hope to bring James Dawson Elementary on board Nov. 18th. The goal is to have at least eight or ten schools serving dinner by the end of the school year.

Lung cancer is the world's top cancer killer, claiming more than 1.3 million lives per year. Once thought to be only a smokers' disease, statistics now show that over half of new cases in the U.S. are not attributable to tobacco use, and that lung cancer in never smokers is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The Thomas G. Labrecque Foundation is committed to preventing lung cancer through education and research. With your help, we can develop simple imaging and blood tests that can be used for the earliest detection of this otherwise lethal cancer that affects all of us - smokers, non-smokers and former smokers alike. Although the current five year rate of survival for Stage III Lung Cancer is 10%, when caught at Stage I, that rate jumps to 56%!

Storm is a shadow of its former self, Kraken is just another name for Bobax, and the biggest botnet goes by the mouthful of "Srizbi," a noted botnet researcher said Wednesday as he released the results of his census of the various armies of hacked computers that spew spam.
Joe Stewart, director of malware research at SecureWorks, presented his survey at the RSA Conference, which opened Monday in San Francisco. The survey ranked the top 11 botnets that send spam; by extrapolating their size, Stewart estimated the bots on his list control just over a million machines and are capable of flooding the Internet with more than 100 billion spam messages every day.
[ For more security coverage, see InfoWorld's special report on the RSA Conference 2008 ]
The botnet at the top of the chart is Srizbi. According to Stewart, this botnet -- which also goes by the names "Cbeplay" and "Exchanger" -- has an estimated 315,000 bots and can blast out 60 billion messages a day.
While it may not have gotten the publicity that Storm has during the last year, it's built around a much more substantial collection of hijacked computers, said Stewart. In comparison, Storm's botnet counts just 85,000 machines, only 35,000 of which are set up to send spam. Storm, in fact, is No. 5 on Stewart's list.
"Storm is pretty insignificant at this point," said Stewart. "It got all this attention, so Microsoft added it to its malicious software detection tool [in September 2007], and that's removed hundreds of thousands of compromised PCs from the botnet."
The second-largest botnet is Bobax, which boasts an estimated 185,000 hacked systems in its collection. Able to spam approximately 9 billion messages a day, Bobax has been around for some time, but recently has been in the news again, albeit under one of its several aliases.
Other researchers, notably those at a security startup called Damballa, have been trumpeting a botnet dubbed Kraken -- sometimes spelled "Kracken" -- that they claim controls more then 400,000 computers. Stewart and others at SecureWorks believe Damballa has simply rebranded the older Bobax, which has several other nicknames besides Kraken, including "Bobic," "Oderoor," "Cotmonger," and "Hacktool.Spammer."
That mix-up over names is just one of the problems that Stewart hoped his research would solve, or at least reduce. "I've been covering botnets for a long time," he said, "and there's a lot of confusion about what botnets belong to what malware family. I want to try to shine some light on what malware belongs to what botnet, and what each botnet's doing."

Livorno Cruise Port, Italy. Livorno is a popular cruise center, thanks to its close proximity to Pisa and Florence. Both of these cities are easy to reach on the train - take the shuttle bus from the cruise port to Piazza Grande, followed by the #1 bus to the train station. It's then a 15 minute train journey from Livorno to Pisa, or just over an hour to Florence.
Fortezza Vecchia, Livorno
If you have visited Florence before, and would prefer a less frenetic day, there's lots to do in Livorno itself. At the Fortezza Vecchia in the old Mediceo port, it's possible to climb to the top of the Matilde tower, the oldest part of the building. From here there are wonderful views over the town and port. The Medici rulers of Florence, who decided to develop Livorno as a port for their city, commissioned the fort in the early part of the 15th century. Other things to do in Livorno including visiting the central food market, for a real taste of Italy, or taking a boat trip on the town's extensive canal system.
Duomo, Florence
Florence was founded by Julius Caesar on a major road from Rome to France. In the middle ages, Florence became a very wealthy city, as a thriving trade centre for wool and silk. Finance was also big business in Florence - Florentine bankers issued the first monetary bills, and also the well-known florin. The most famous family dynasty of Florence, the Medici, were pre-eminent in the banking world. With their power and money, they commissioned artists, architects and craftsmen from all over Europe to satisfy their taste of style and grandeur. One of the most opulent constructions of the period is the iconic Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, or Duomo for short. Its impressively massive octagonal cupola is actually 2 domes, one inside the other Opposite the Duomo is the Baptistery - its large doors are faced with an intricately detailed bronze relief.
Ponte Vecchio, Florence
Another must-see iin Florence is the Ponte Vecchio over the River Arno. This much-photographed bridge was originally constructed in Roman times. Modern jewelry shops occupy the ancient buildings lining the bridge.
Galleria dell' Accademia, Florence
In 1784, the Grand Duke of Tuscany requisitioned a convent and a friary and converted the building into a Gallery for the use of students in the adjacent Accademia delle Belle Arti. Today the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence is visited by people wanting to see Michelangelo's David, the world's most celebrated sculpture. The museum is also home to five more Michelangelo sculptures - the four unfinished Prisoners and St. Matthew.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Pisa's famous Leaning Tower was the bell tower for the nextdoor cathedral. Construction began in the late 12th century, and continued for about 200 years. Even before it was completed, it was obvious to the builders that the ground was too soft, and the foundations to shallow, because the tower began to lean. The tower has been closed to visitors for long times in recent history, to allow for stabilisation works, so you might want to check if it's open before going.

Ancient Penis-Shaped Bones Discovered In U.K.
"The Man's Left Hand Rests On Her Buttock ..."
If you ever feel like too much of a perv, just remember that weird kinky sex stuff has been going on for millenia. Case in point, scientists recently revealed that they've discovered a trove of ancient bones that were carved into penises -- with wings.
Read: The 9 Most Bizarre Animal Penises
An astounding array of artifacts -- many of them depicting graphic sex positions -- have been discovered all across Britain, giving scientists and researchers new insight into art made by ancient Romans.
The pieces, which number almost 25,000, were discovered last year largely by amateurs with metal detectors. They include ornate jewelry, rings and brooches, and a copper bust of what may have been a Roman ruler's male lover.
But the more salacious findings include a dagger handle depicting people having sex, and a set of bones carved into the shape of flying penises.
Read: Introducing Penis Leggings
"It's not uncommon to find sexually explicit iconography in the Roman household complex generally," said John Pearce, a lecturer in archaeology at King's College London.
"One theory is that those scenes that show sexual activity have an apotropaic power, because they make you laugh so that wards off the evil eye," he said. A knife with a handle like this could be carried around, protecting the user. "It's a kind of insurance policy."
As for the penis bones, Pearce says the phallic motif was common throughout the ancient Roman Empire. Besides, who doesn't like a flying weenie?
Check out some pictures of the amazing (and bizarre) discoveries below.

I just heard about this today from my dad. A 90 year old retired farmer has this. I was able to see it today, and reached the son, but it sounds like someone already was there a few days ago and tried to start it. The son didn't know if they were coming back again to get it to run and buy it. I told him I wanted it, but it was kind of left up in the air. The price I heard floating around (the son is friends with my dad) is ridiculously cheap
I haven't bought any tractors except one, any advice on what to do next would be appreciated.

Andrew Davies column: A Premier League loan signing is a possibility
6:40pm Thursday 9th January 2014 in Sport By Andrew Davies
This is a new start and a new beginning for us now.
The free weekend did us a favour because there are a number of lads carrying a few knocks. And from my point of view, it's another game I'll hopefully be back for.
We've had a rough run over Christmas and it's important that we look back and learn from our mistakes.
It's not just down to the manager and coaching staff to point them out – the boys on the pitch have to take responsibility and work out where they could do better. We've also got to accept that the standard is higher.
Premier League clubs are normally quite reluctant to loan out to League Two, apart from in my case. But they don't have a problem chucking players into League One. We've seen how good some of these lads are.
I'd never heard of Alex Pritchard but the second I saw he was from Spurs, I thought he had to be good. You can see why he is rated highly after the way he played against us for Swindon.
Then there's Patrick Bamford, who the lads thought was superb at MK Dons. Chelsea have let him go to Derby now so it shows the standard he's at.
Notts County also had a couple of really good loans from Aston Villa and Celtic, and you could see their quality.
Given the results we've had and the number of draws, we're actually quite lucky to be only seven points off the play-offs.
Hopefully now we can get that bad run out of the way and start picking up points again. There are plenty of games to go and I still feel we've got a good chance of getting in the top six. It's just getting that confidence back in the lads, and that will come.
Remember last year. Everybody wrote us off when we lost at Exeter and said it was game over. But all of a sudden we put some wins together and look where that took us. That can happen again.

Lawmaker used lobbyist template
Bill clearing way for online school based on model
NASHVILLE - Rep. Harry Brooks says he worked with a lobbyist on legislation that cleared the way for Union County to operate an online school system with K12 Inc., but was unaware that the bill was based on a model drafted by an organization of conservative state legislators.
The Knoxville Republican said in an interview that his interest in providing virtual schools to students dates back to his service on the Knox County School Board several years ago when he studied use of such efforts at the county's juvenile detention facility.
Portions of the bill (HB1030) are identical to a model law developed by the American Legislative Exchange Council, an organization for state legislators largely funded by corporations. ALEC has sometimes been controversial, and last week the Center for Media and Democracy posted on the Internet some 800 model ALEC bills.
Brooks, former chairman of the House Education Committee, said he shared an interest in using online materials for educating children with state Rep. David Hawk, R-Greeneville.
Lobbyist Beth Winstead approached him earlier this year about the proposal, he said.
"She knew David Hawk and I were very interested in remote learning," Brooks said, and she suggested: "We see if we can move forward with that this year and I said, 'I'm game.' "
Winstead is a partner in the lobbying firm of McMahan Winstead Hafner & Alexander, which was retained by K12 Inc. She declined comment.
Brooks said a legislative attorney handled actual drafting of the legislation and that Winstead may have provided a copy of the ALEC model. But he noted that the legislation was revised several times as it went through the process. A comparison of the language in the ALEC model with the final bill indicates about half the language is identical.
Brooks said he does not believe enactment of the legislation will cost the state any significant amount of money and should not cause problems for schools that lose students to the new Union County online school administered by Union County.
New state money would be triggered if homeschooled students, who now are not subsidized by the state, begin collecting state payments. But Brooks said he believes a separate state law would prevent that from happening, "though I'd have to check."
"I don't see it as a way for anybody to rip anyone off," he said.
Legislative staff estimated in a "fiscal note" that the bill's enactment would cost the state about $2.8 million.

MALONE — A Fort Covington man will spend eight years in state prison for the rape of a female teenager during a three-year period.
Martin Lonkey, 50, was in court on two counts of first-degree rape, one count of third-degree rape and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
An agreement was worked out as part of an Alford plea, where "the judge believed there was substantial evidence of the defendant's guilt" and Lonkey "agreed the evidence against him was overwhelming," said District Attorney Derek Champagne.
Franklin County Court Judge Robert G. Main Jr. sentenced Lonkey to eight years for the two counts of first-degree rape, four years for third-degree rape and one year in the County Jail for each of the three endangering counts.
Main ordered the time to be served concurrently rather than consecutively.
The judge also ordered Lonkey to serve 15 years of post-release supervision and to pay a $3,000 fine.
The DA said the victim was 13 at the time the incidents began in July 2007 and 15 when they ended.
Champagne said the victim's family was satisfied with the plea arrangement because they wanted to spare her the ordeal of testifying at trial.

Students + Alumni : Laurel Peacock
Laurel Peacock (MBA Candidate 2010)
Blu Skye Sustainability Consulting
Laurel was incorporating notions of sustainability into her job even before beginning the MBA in Sustainable Business program at SF State. She was responsible for marketing and PR at a winery in Napa Valley where she learned a great deal about sustainable agriculture. The winery was actively engaged in greening its facilities, especially during the process of seeking industry certification to formalize the winery's ambition of heading into sustainable viticulture. Laurel's involvement in this process provided her with a pragmatic understanding of sustainable organic processes and ultimately paved the way for her graduate course work.
The real-world experience that SF State's professors bring to the classroom has enabled Laurel to gain a deeper understanding of applying sustainability to environments besieged with change. Most of her professors have been working to incorporate sustainability into their classes for years, long before it became mainstream at top-tier business schools. Additionally, in-class speakers from local businesses have facilitated Laurel's understanding of how "going green" also serves the best interests of the business. She also enjoyed working face-to-face with individual project clients in the field to solve real, everyday business questions.
Laurel notes, "I'm lucky enough to work at a company where we eat, breathe, and dream of human activities that live in concert with the planet's natural systems. I wouldn't say that I do things in my job that relate to sustainability; in essence my job is to work with a team that embeds sustainability in today's corporate agenda. We work to engage and educate leadership teams of major companies to look at their businesses through the lens of sustainability- tailored for their unique business." She looks forward to continuing to work on her professional development in sustainability consulting at Blu Skye.

CHAMPLAIN — A Plattsburgh man was arrested at the border on a warrant issued out of Clinton County for a felony charge of sexual assault against a child.
On Tuesday, Joseph Eliof, 28, was brought to the Champlain Port of Entry by the Canadian Border Services Agency, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The Canadian Border Services Agency and U.S. Customs and Border Protection had previously made arrangements for Eliof to be returned to the United States, the Department of Homeland Security said in the release.
Eliof was charged once Customs and Border Protection officers verified the arrest warrant, according to the release.
The specific criminal charge being brought against him was not available Tuesday.
After his arrest, authorities turned him over to the U.S. Marshals Service, the Department of Homeland Security said.

Amarillo, TX -- Keeping our children safe in public schools is the driving force behind a renewed push for armed protection - but does "armed protection" mean police or professors?
Arming school employees is not a new concept - but a disturbing trend of school shootings in our nation has lent the idea new credence. and some would be quick to point out it's far cheaper than on-campus police.
In an active shooter situation, seconds count - and that means one of the biggest factors in preventing bloodshed is response time. So one rationale for arming school employees is to cut the response time to virtually zero.
WTAMU criminology professor and former police chief Dr. Harry Hueston illustrated how critical response time is, saying, "This police department at our university - one of the best-trained police departments in my career I've ever seen. If there's a shooter on the fourth floor of Old Main, the first cop here is going to be at least a minute to two minutes away - that's a fact of life."
Statistically speaking, having an armed police presence is one of the most effective ways to deter school violence - but that comes with a price tag.
For instance, there are liaison officers at secondary schools in the Amarillo Independent School District - leaving 37 elementary schools. Amarillo Police estimate the cost of posting a dedicated officer at each of those schools would total about $2.48 million a year -- and that estimate factors in salary, training, equipment, and a vehicle.
"You're still talking about a large stack of money that the taxpayers either through the school district or through the city or through some entity has to pay for," said Sergeant Brent Barbee of the Amarillo Police Department.
"You've heard putting police officers in schools is going to cost money. Okay ... so what's the life of a first, second, or third-grader worth?", asks Hueston. "This is not a national thing. This is not a state law; we've got enough laws. What are these individuals in these towns and these school districts going to do? They're the ones that have to decide."
So far, no concrete legislation concerning the issue is on the table in Austin - but the debate continues to resurface.

North Country schools say cash reserves can't cover Cuomo cuts
by Chris Morris
Tupper Lake, NY, Feb 14, 2011 — A report released last week by the state Education Department estimates that 74 percent of school districts outside of New York City have a big enough fund balance to pay for Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposed state aid cuts.
The numbers show that districts have about $1.16 billion in their reserve accounts, along with a little more than $355 million in federal stimulus funds leftover from last year.
But opponents of Cuomo's budget cuts say that's just not true.
They claim the aid cuts will force thousands of teacher layoffs and result in increased taxes, especially in poor North Country districts.

A Fresh Start on education: "A Marshall Plan for well-educated teachers"
Nov 14, 2008 — This week we're asking the country's most compelling thinkers for their recommendations for president-elect Barack Obama. Our series, "A Fresh Start," continues today with a provocative take on kindergarten through 12th grade education. Deborah Meier is widely considered one of America's foremost education experts. She's started highly innovative and successful schools in New York City and Boston. She lives south of Albany now. Meier believes the rigid standards and tests of "No Child Left Behind" have left teachers powerless in schools. She says the federal program has to be replaced with a "Marshall plan" for the development of a large, well-educated teaching force. Meier told David Sommerstein the world of education has to step back and ask fundamental questions about the relevance of school to childrens' lives. Go to full article

LiveAlbion v Birmingham City - from The Amex
Enable automatic updates every minute? YES NO
- Albion move into top six
- David Lopez volleys winner (58)
- Randolph twice denies LuaLua in first half
- Obika on for debut in 63rd minute
- Crofts carried off injured
- Six pages of coverage in The Argus on Monday
5:10pm Sat 11 Jan 14
VegasSeagull says
The BBC text service suggested that Ulloa went off injured.
We'll check. He trudged off slowly looking unhappy and went straight to the bench, not down the tunnel.
I don't think either of us thought he looked injured.
Tale of two midfielders. Lopez scoring to stay on and Crofts carried off. Add to the mix the outstanding LuaLua. #bhafc— @AndyNaylorArgus 11 January 2014
#bhafc into the top six for the first time this season.— @AndyNaylorArgus 11 January 2014
City boss Lee Clark was clearly angered as Hancox hung up a hopeful cross which Kuszczak held easily.
Mullins became the third man booked for fouling LuaLua when he tripped the winger near the touchline.
Very little had been seen of Obika but he had a run into the City area before the ball got away from him for a goal kick.
Orlandi was booked for kicking the ball away after LuaLua committed a foul to put pressure back on his side.
But the resulting free-kick was punched away bravely by Kuszczak under heavy pressure – and Albion broke away with three against one.
They worked it well enough and Orlandi timed his pass to tee up Ince – but the midfielder tried to go around Randolph who snatched the ball as it ran away from him.
But Albion had done enough.
Final: Albion 1 Birmingham 0
Kuszczak just made his first save, parrying Burke's angled drive. #bhafc sending for El-Abd.— @AndyNaylorArgus 11 January 2014
Ward was livid when he was left facing both Caddis and Burke. Caddis sent Burke in behind Ward and into the area and his angled effort was pushed away by Kuszczak.
As Blues still pressed, another low cross fizzed across goal with no one there to apply a touch.
Albion sent on El-Abd to help shore things up as the game moved into six added minutes, David Lopez the man to make way.
Albion, so firmly in control for much of the match, were suddenly looking a little nervy as Birmingham sought a reply in the goalmouth nearest their fans.
David Lopez lifted the now rather subdued home crowd with a glorious crossfield ball to release LuaLua on the left but his low cross was cleared easily enough.
And nerves were back on edge when a cross from the left went right across the goalmouth with neither Zigic nor Burke able to get a telling touch.
Birmingham sent on Ferguson for Reilly in the 82nd minute.
But Albion fans were watching Crofts, impressive again, being helped off with what looked like a knee injury. Orlandi took his place.
Crofts hurt. Punched the ground in frustration. Looks like right knee. #bhafc— @AndyNaylorArgus 11 January 2014
Then Ince saw yellow for a foul as Birmingham started to have more of the ball.
RT @OfficialBHAFC: Today's attendance for #BHAFC v #BCFC is 26,796, with 1038 in support of the visitors. Thank you all for your support.— @AndyNaylorArgus 11 January 2014
David Lopez almost added another wonderful goal, this time with a left foot curler as he span away from a tackle. But his effort from outside the box flew narrowly wide.
Caddis slipped a clever pass to get Burke to the byline and there looked real danger. But Bruno read the winger's cutback and intercepted it before running the ball away from the area.
Andrews was the first Albion man into the book, for kicking the ball away.
Lee was the second Birmingham midfielder to be booked for fouling LuaLua in the centre circle.
BHAFC 1 BIRMINGHAM 0 :BBC Sussex's Adam Virgo "Lee Clark fuming with the linesman - a quality finish from Lopez" #NorthStandChat— @BBCSussexSport 11 January 2014
Burke still posed a potential threat down the Birmingham right. Albion were at full stretch to clear his low cross.
Good chasing by Ward forced a corner which came to nothing.
Obika made his debut in the 63rd minute by replacing a disappointed looking Ulloa.
At the same stoppage, Birmingham sent on Brown for Elliott.
Crofts almost extended the lead with an angled 25-yarder which Randolph saved well diving to his right.
Albion fans were sensing a breakthrough – and it came in sumptuous style. Bruno and David Lopez worked a clever move down the right and the latter's ball in was met by a full-blooded drive from Crofts which Randolph blocked.
A follow-up by Ulloa was blocked by Mullins – but the ball looped back to DAVID LOPEZ who, from an unpromising angle, sent a perfect volley, possibly with a bit of curl off the outside of his foot, across Randolph and inside the far post.
Randolph is quick off his line to deny LuaLua. #BHAFC v #BCFC http://t.co/onC40nrC5U— @OfficialBHAFC 11 January 2014
Quicker tempo to the last #bhafc passing attack. That could be the key.— @AndyNaylorArgus 11 January 2014
As in the first half, Zigic made a bright start to the second period. He got his head on a cross and the ball bounced around in front of goal before Kuszczak forced it behind.
Lee's attempt at a quick corner was picked off and for a moment it looked like Albion might muster a threatening counter attack in response. But Ulloa was hustled off the ball.
As Birmingham played themselves into trouble a few moments later, LuaLua pushed the ball ahead of him and ran but Randolph dived at his feet and swatted the ball away.
Burke, scorer of a long-range winner here last term, tried his luck with a 25-yard curler which cleared the top corner.
Still LuaLua looked the biggest threat. He span away from a marker and worked a slick one-touch move with Ulloa and Andrews before slipping as he shot right-footed and sending the ball rolling harmlessly wide.
HT: No goals, with Albion getting better as the half progressed. A few chances for Albion, but mainly from long range. #BHAFC 0 #BCFC 0— @OfficialBHAFC 11 January 2014
Birmingham forced a corner in the one added minute but Ulloa got in front of Zigic to head clear.
Half: Albion 0 Birmingham 0
#bhafc LuaLua is most certainly the key to this game - Birmingham cannot handle him at all at the moment - suspect Clark will address at HT— @BHAFerret 11 January 2014
Bruno's run off the ball was spotted by Andrews who angled a cross on to his head. Bruno nodded back across goal but handball claims were waved away as Crofts' volley was charged down.
Then LuaLua went for goal with two shots in quick succession, both saved with real difficulty by Randolph. He dived to his left to parry the first and awkwardly flapped the second behind.
Birmingham were unhappy when Mullins was adjudged by the assistant referee to have clipped Crofts just outside the box.
The free-kick was wide of goal and David opted to chip the ball up to the far post – where it was nodded behind – rather than shoot.
The towering Zigic had no trouble heading away the corner.
Lopez 20-yarder pushed behind by the diving Randolph. #bhafc struggling to get shots away before that through well-organised Brum ranks.— @AndyNaylorArgus 11 January 2014
Albion were trying to pick their way through the massed Birmingham ranks – and being implored to shoot by fans.
They got their wish when Ince's tackle helped nudge the ball on to the left foot of David Lopez for a 20-yard curler which Randolph pushed wide diving to low to his right.
Ward was next to have a go with a low drive which was blocked after he was found at the far post.
But Burke engineered another right wing attack and Upson had to defend well again to concede a corner which came to nothing.
Reilly was first in the book for a foul on LuaLua in the centre circle.
There were groans as Bruno got right under a cross from the right. But he had spotted David Lopez all alone beyond the far post and the midfielder met the dropping ball with a sweetly-timed volley – but Birmingham cleared in the goalmouth.
LuaLua looking lively for #bhafc— @AndyNaylorArgus 11 January 2014
The match and atmosphere were still just a little flat – and two misplaced passes in quick succession by Bruno did not lift the mood.
Greer had to hack a Novak cross over his own bar to concede a corner after a Blues move involving Burke on their right.
The resulting corner was headed down by Mullins and Andrews appeared to clear from close to the line in a congested goalmouth.
Albion replied quickly. This time LuaLua appeared on the right and got on the end of a clever Greer pass to force a force a corner.
That flag kick caused a few alarms but Crofts saw his shot blocked.
Bruno then worked a lovely combination with David Lopez, whose cross was met by Ulloa with a tame header when Andrews was better placed just behind him.
Just had an example of one of the style changes made by OG. #bhafc pressed high up the pitch to force an error out of Birmingham.— @AndyNaylorArgus 11 January 2014
LuaLua again beat Caddis down the outside and again his low cross was cleared. This time it went as far as Andrews who was implored to shoot but instead fed David Lopez down the right. His cross was half cut out but good work by Ince kept the move alive until Ward fired an ambitious shot well over from outside the box.
Then Upson had to defend well to cut out a long crossfield ball by Novak aimed for Burke's run.
Zigic offered an almost immediate glimpse of the threat he can pose. He was involved in a move, then made tracks to the far post as Elliott curled in a dangerous ball. Upson got there first to head behind and Zigic, all 6ft 8in of him, managed to head down the resulting corner before it was cleared.
There was a buzz of excitement on the first occasion the ball got to LuaLua.
He was closed down and, when a cross eventually came in, it was too high for Ulloa and defender Robinson at the back post.
LuaLua went down the outside next time he got the ball and eased past Caddis. His low cross was cleared for a corner from which David Lopez failed to clear the first defender.
Now we are into the guts of the season and injuries are clearing up, we are starting to see what OG's sees as his first choices. #bhafc— @AndyNaylorArgus 11 January 2014
3:01pm Sat 11 Jan 14
VegasSeagull says
Birmingham seem to be going 4 at the back with 2 in front of them and 3 in midfield, is this a, 'park the bus,' line up?
Not really - Burke and Novak in particular are dangerous off Zigic and they have Elliott in there too today.
It works - six unbeaten away from home.
Albion going North to South in first half.
The January wheeling and dealing is well and truly under way.
Which is why we tread a sort of middle ground this afternoon as Albion host Birmingham City.
The Seagulls give a first call-up to Jonathan Obika, who signed on loan from Spurs on Wednesday and is on the bench.
But they are missing Ashley Barnes, who joined Burnley yesterday and is on the bench for the Clarets at Yeovil today.
So we await more activity both in and out, while Birmingham come south in that interim period – after they have seen loan players leave and before they have got them back or brought in other reinforcements.
All of which is explained more fully in our team news stories which were uploaded earlier.
But it all adds intrigue to a game which sees the Seagulls look to break into the top six for the first time this season and Blues aim to extend the second best unbeaten away run in the division (behind Ipswich).
And the sun is out too.
We are almost ready to go.

The Bengals have high hopes for second-year ORT Andre Smith. Head coach Marvin Lewis, speaking at the Combine, said that Smith's ability to work with the club in the offseason will help "immensely." Smith had surgery on his left foot in February, but the procedure was not regarded as serious, and he is expected to be able to participate in the club's OTAs starting in May.
"We took some dramatic steps to make sure it was not a lingering issue this coming fall," Lewis said. "At this point, everything has gone very, very well, and he's on schedule, which is good. He was still having some pain at some different times last season that he wouldn't admit to very often to many people, but we wanted to get it addressed. We had him looked at by a lot of foot specialists, and they all recommended that he get this addressed."
Added Lewis: "He has matured a lot. He got his nose wet, just barely, in NFL football. He liked it and he sees how effective he can be, and if he wants to achieve the greatness that he can, he has to keep his nose to the grindstone."
Smith held out for all of training camp last season, and the left foot injury stifled his progress once he finally signed. However, he's the overwhelming favorite to start at right tackle this season. If Smith develops the way the Bengals hope, the club will have enviable depth at tackle, with Dennis Roland and Anthony Collins sliding into reserve roles.

Great tasting bar that stays with you for quite awhile.

Great tasting bar that stays with you for quite awhile. Love to take a couple with me on a hike.
- Excellent flavor, especially the spicy pepper blend
- 7g of protein and 70 calories
- No nitrates, and hormone free
I am not usually a big meat eater, but I was getting tired of the same old hiking food, like the shots, Gu packets, etc. so I decided to try these buffalo bars. They are easy to slip into a pocket or hip belt pocket and I love the flavor. They are not too sweet and they add a needed variety to my stash of food in my pack.
I have shared them with several of my hiking buddies and now we are all buying them by the box load! I also keep a couple in my desk at work for emergency snacks. They are always the first item I pack for a hike after my cheese and crackers.
Useful clean protein on the go, but drippy packaging.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: About $3/bar at Sunflower market
Useful clean protein on the go, but drippy packaging.
- Clean bison protein
- Decent flavor
- Filling
- Product is wet out the package.
- Product can drip when you open it--bad for bear country
This bar is essentially pemmican—the native people's travel mix of ground meat, rendered fat, and a little fruit. This version is an option for people who want a high protein, evolutionarily appropriate trail food (via something like the Paleo diet), though I probably will not buy it again.
I believe the bar was 7g each of protein (bison meat) and fat (rendered bison fat) and 1.5g of sugars (ground cranberries), with a few spices like garlic and salt. I felt great immediately after eating it and had a few hours of sustained energy, but the mixture of animal protein and highly acidic fruit sugar from the cranberries left with me with a sour stomach for about the same amount of time.
- Interesting flavor
- Hardcore hit of protein and fat for very long-lasting energy
- Ethically produced with benefits to a Native American family
- No chemicals and not over-processed
- Paleo-diet friendly (only a pro if that's your thing)
- Freakin' spendy—over $3 per little 15g bar
- Very greasy to the touch--definitely needs to be stored in a package
- Very greasy mouth-feel. Didn't really bother me but would gross out some people.
- Bad food combining (animal protein and sugar) can make for funky digestion
- Comes out of the package wet, and can drip meat juice on you or your pack if you're not careful--definitely a con in bear country
