Think about how you or the people you work with approach the creation of a blended learning lesson plan. The first steps of coming up with and flushing out your initial idea. Then, scouring the web to find safe, factually accurate sites that are not blocked by your school filters and checking the fine print …
This method of teaching does require a certain amount of bravery. There is a very real chance that when a student asks you a question (How do I add media? How do I change the font? How do I import pictures? etc. etc.) you will have to say the dreaded "I don't know". But the neat thing is, your students are ok with this. You're all learning as you go. More often than not another child in the class will be using the same site or will have at least used it before. If a classmate knows the answer, they can step into the role of teacher – from which much confidence is gained and leadership skills are learned.
Even the most reserved kid really enjoys teaching their teacher a trick or two. If no one knows the answer, they can collaborate to find the solution; an activity that provides important life skills with many real-world applications. All while leaving the initiative, process development and ownership of the learning itself right where it belongs, in the hands of the learners.
Gust MEES: I started with it in 2002 already and was a pioneer in my country, BUT I got BEST results! Make sure to work TOGETHER as a TEAM with the students, learners, create ALSO some groups where the BEST work together with the weakest. YOU will love it later and YOU will miss it as it gives YOU a direct feedback of WHAT THEY learned and YOU adjust on demand and necessity... WHEN the BEST feel boring, give THEM a special task to motivate THEM ;) ===> Adjust <===.
Concerning the questions from the students, please check my advice here:

Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
I am not sure what is being suggested is putting students in charge. It is more about a complicated conversation between teachers and students about the subject matter. There is an in-between space where teachers and students meet.

We always make it a point to honor our teachers during National Teacher Appreciation Day, but we know that trying to cram all of our appreciation into a single day can feel slightly disingenuous to teachers. Rather than wait for May to roll around again, we'd like to share 10 simple ways principals can recognize teachers throughout the year.
Via Patti Kinney, Mark E. Deschaine, PhD, Dean J. Fusto
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
Daily, genuine appreciation is an important consideration. Simply thanking teachers for their work is a great way. We rely too much on those one-off days i.e. teacher appreciation days. What if we made a point of paying attention and thanking teachers regularly? That might provide a different element to important adult relationships in School.

Psychologists are finding that when students are motivated by a desire to have a positive impact on the world they are more able to plug away at challenging or tedious tasks.
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
Bigger purpose helps us all, teachers and students. Viktor Frankl's work points us in that direction. Even in times of struggle, have a larger purpose provides a sense of direction. Frankl suggested it was that which might have provided some with the ability to survive against what appeared insurmountable odds in concentration camps. Getting past the daily grind and seeing something bigger with clarity i.e. family, work, a particular cause, etc. seemed to make the difference.
As we've studied the educational process, it's become clear that students learn in a variety of ways and that no single approach is always successful in a classroom. What makes complete sense to one student may sound like gibberish to another. Competency-based or "personalized" learning allows students to master skills at their own pace with …
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
We have known this for some time. Alfred North Whitehead and John Dewey used the term that there is no one royal road to learning. This applies to teachers and students. The challenge is that many School managers impose their favourite new thing on all staff. The last 8 years I had three managers and the first imposed critical thinking, the second social media, and the third the seven habits. We all had to do the same professional development regardless of our backgrounds and the work we did. It seemed the more knowledgeable a person was the more these managers insisted.

This is something that the supposed movers and shakers involved in "School reform" should focus and change.
By Jenny Edwards, PhD For all of you new teachers out there (and also those who have been in the profession for a while now), I wish you years of success, as you are in the greatest position of all— the position to influence the lives of many students. Right now, your current focus is probably on how to have a successful first few weeks of school. What might be the best ways to spend your time as you are preparing for the school year to start? What are some things you should keep in mind once the students arrive and class begins? Here are 12 tips for success as you begin your career (or school year) and continue growing in the teaching profession. Familiarize yourself with your school district's website before school starts. Become familiar with the curriculum you will be using and learn about the district policies. Get to know your colleagues and begin to develop a good working relationship with them. Have the attitude of a learner. Be willing to share your ideas with them and be willing to learn from them. Get to know other school personnel, such as the secretaries, custodians, and cafeteria workers. Go out of your way to greet them. Seek out mentors. Identify people from whom you would especially like to learn and get to know them. Set up a classroom management system from the beginning of the year. Ask your colleagues what works for them and use ideas from your teacher training. Know exactly how you will manage the students the minute they walk in the door and use these strategies consistently throughout the year. Create lessons and materials for the first week of school prior to the start of school so that you will know exactly what you are going to do and will have everything ready to go. Think through when students will be turning in major assignments and stagger the due dates. Build positive relationships with your students by smiling, getting to know them, and treating them with respect. Build positive relationships with the parents of your students by making positive phone calls to them in the first several weeks of school. Introduce yourself, say something positive about their child, and let them know that you are looking forward to working with them and their child. Make sure they know how they can contact you and when you will be available. Make use of small bits of time throughout the day. If you have five extra minutes, what might you be able to accomplish? Call the parent immediately should an incident occur to explain what happened. People usually believe the first person they hear. Be sure to inform your principal as well. Ask yourself empowering questions throughout the day, such as "How can I help each of my students to enjoy learning today?" or "How can I build a positive relationship with each student?"

The idea that returning teachers need to do many things similar to new teachers is important.
Publishing openly provides greater exposure, boosts prospects and can lead to more citations, says Erin McKiernan
We spend years teaching our children to share. Yet from the moment students enter academia, we discourage it. Lock up your work in prestigious subscription journals; keep your data close to your chest; compete instead of collaborate – these are the messages transmitted by peers and mentors. These are the tenets of our unhealthy academic culture. We need to change our priorities.

Sharing our research is important, but forgoing vigor in publishing could be problematic. For example, what makes an open source published article strong? There is a a need to explore something different that allows publication, openness, and vigor.

Principals say "instructional leadership" is important, but what does that mean?

Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
I tell people that the resources to make the changes in education, health care, and social justice exist. I do not include people as a resource. We are people. Our "leaders" who are really managers and ideologues prefer people be called assets and resources in making the homeless, students, the sick, etc. faceless, stripping people of identity. Solutions lie not in the hands of the few distanced from the communities we live and work in, but with the many who live and work in those communities.
The art of leadership is not without struggle but those that lead from a strong foundation are unshakable, they have endurance for what life has to offer.
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
I agree that a certain amount of struggle can help to temper a leader's steel; however there is a myth that it is always necessary. I think the myth also suggests that we struggle through or listen to only those of like mind. Both are challenges. Lincoln likely had some supports that helped him through the struggles. We need those in life and need to find a path that enables us to deal with the struggles.
Fairness affects everything we do. It shapes our judgment, impacts our credibility, affects our ability to trust, and influences our loyalty. Are you fair?
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
Although rational thinking is important, fair leaders have an intuitive sixth sense which guides them as well. I think of leaders in School and private industry I worked for and those who had that sense were the fairest.

Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
I think vigour is a better word than rigor which comes with mortis and makes the term rigor mortis. Also, it is like we are just discovering vigour, relevancy, and relationships are important. Dewey wrote about them long ago.
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
Where have all the leaders gone? That is an interesting question. They have become managers. That is what I experienced in School. Managing and leading are inseparable, but the School managers find managing and being a boss easier.

A Typical Day in the Life of a Peace Corps Volunteer in Georgia
American Peace Corps Volunteer in Georgia
Volunteering in a developing country for two years is probably exactly what you expect it to be -- a sparse water supply, gravel roads and an inordinate amount of farm animals. Living in Georgia might bring out the inner hitchhiker or even the inner vegetarian in you.
I wake up at six in the morning with the cocks. At every hour of the day the cocks can be heard from any corner of my house, but they grow especially noisy at six in the morning, just when I need to wake up and plug in my electric space heater to defrost the new day's outfit. After clumsily dressing myself and stretching, I make my way to the bathroom. It is here where I brush my teeth with a bucket filled with water from the bathtub, for water only runs for two hours a day. I note the chicken snoozing in the sink and nod my head hello to her.
After a cup of coffee I leave the house and start the trek to the school where I teach English. Upon opening the front gate, I am immediately confronted with a steaming pile of cow shit. Good morning Georgia, I think. I walk a few paces and take in the sunny morning. The mountains are covered in a blanket of glistening snow and the gravel road is dry and dusty. The only sounds are wakeup calls from the cocks and friendly neighborhood dogs. Wait a minute, I think. That dog doesn't look so friendly. It is growling at that giant pig. The giant pig seems to be on the verge of attacking the very small dog. Suddenly the small dog dashes and the enormous pig feels my unwanted presence. It looks up at me, we make eye contact, it considers its options and then makes a mad dash towards me. All 400 pounds of the thing chases after me for a good minute and a half until it grows too tired to keep up. I walk the remaining seven minutes to the bus stop sideways, watching behind me for the pink beast. Once I am settled on the bus I am immediately inundated with women who want to know who I am. "Where are you from?" they ask me. "Are you married? No? You know, I have a nephew who lives in the capital." To my dismay, today is not unlike any other day, for the local women will always know an eligible man for me to marry and have millions of babies with.
My lessons go by quickly, for three of my thirty eleventh graders have done their homework today and it takes each of the three ten minutes to read their homework aloud to the rest of the class. I yell at Giorgi for making too much noise while he's lighting the wood-burning stove in the corner of the classroom and I scold Nino for playing on her cell phone. The third graders are genuinely amused with my attempt to teach them the "Hokey Pokey" and the seventh graders never tire of smiling at the foreign girl who tries to teach them English grammar and vocabulary. In between classes I am fawned over by the third grade girls, who ask regularly if I am planning on getting married in Georgia and settling down here. "Do you like khatichipuri?" they want to know.
After my last lesson I meander outside and wait for the old, yellow mini bus to pick me up and take me home. As I am the first person to get to the bus stop, I am hopeful that there will be a place for me to sit this time. The minutes pass and more people begin to gather around me and, when the bus finally arrives, I am pushed and shoved out of the way until there is not a single space left on the mini bus. Even a grandma threw a punch at my arm for a spot. I peer inside and wonder if I can fit, but alas, there is not a single square inch of space left. There are people on laps of other people while others are squeezed so tightly in the isle that they can't even raise a single finger. I close the door of the mini bus and sigh, knowing that I will have to wait another hour for the next bus to arrive. After several minutes a soviet car zooms by and I throw my arm into the air, hoping that the driver will stop for me. He does, so I climb into the backseat and am immediately pummeled by questions. "Where are you from? How old are you? Do you have a husband? Do you want to marry my cousin's son's friend? He is very smart and he lives in the capital."
Upon arriving at the front gate to my house I thank the driver and venture back out into the cold. No sooner than I close the door my neighbor is standing right in front of me with a bottle of olive oil. "What is this?" he demands. "It is oil," I inform him in my mediocre Georgian. "Oil for a car?" he wants to know. "No," I say, "it is cooking oil." This is the third time this week that he has stopped me and demanded an explanation of an object that is foreign to him. First it was a tire pressure gauge, then it was a can of hairspray from the 1980's, and now olive oil.
When my neighbor is satisfied with this answer, he lets me go and I take off two layers of clothes, for the woodstove is burning and I will finally be warm, and I sit down at the kitchen table. So hungry I could consume our entire cow, I peer into my freshly-poured bowl of soup and see a chicken neck, skin, and other unidentifiable bones floating in a yellow broth. When I have finished the broth my host mom wants to know why I didn't eat the chicken. "I don't want any 'chicken'," I say. "Why not?!" she roars, "this chicken is from our backyard! We caught her and killed her today." This statement is complete with hand gestures that indicate that the chicken's throat was slit. Very graphic.
After dinner I sit by the wood-burning stove and read a book that would have never interested me pre Peace Corps service, A Million Little Pieces. Two hours into reading and I grow tired, so I climb into three more layers of clothing, get into my sleeping bag and zip it up all the way, then pile three wool blankets on top of me and snooze until the cocks wake up.

Technical Committee Takes to Louisville
Nearly 80 SkillsUSA Championships technical committee chairs and members attended meetings on February 29 – March 1 in Louisville, Ky., in preparation for the move of the National Leadership and Skills Conference from Kansas City in 2015. This was our first face-to-face pre-conference meeting in quite some time. For the past few years, technical committee members have held webinars because they know the layout in Kansas City. In this instance, they got to explore.
An essential part of the meetings was a tour of the Kentucky Exposition Center. Committee members were impressed by the space. They liked the plan to group contests into occupational clusters. One of the committee members said: "That'll be good for the industry." Staff also took the opportunity to review the Championships Technical Standards, policies, operations and judging with new and "seasoned" committee members.

Petco Park deemed safe after earthquake
Fans at the San Diego Padres-Toronto Blue Jays baseball game Monday night were entertained with more than just a game as a 5.7 magnitude earthquake rocked Southern California.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck about 9:30 p.m. and was centered five miles southeast of Ocotillo in Imperial County, about 85 miles east of San Diego. There were no reports of significant damage in Imperial and San Diego counties.
During video coverage of the Padres game however, cameras shook and both foul poles swayed back-and-forth. Fans reportedly cheered when the public address announcer told the crowd to remain calm.
As standard operating procedure for Petco Park, engineers inspected the stadium from top-to-bottom.
"We dispatched our engineering team to conduct a visual inspection of the ballpark," said Mark Guglielmo, vice president of ballpark operations.
According to Guglielmo, Petco Park suffered no damage from the earthquake Monday or from the Easter 7.2 magnitude earthquake. He said that Petco Park is one of the safest places to be during an earthquake.
"It's structurally designed to prevent a catastrophic failure that meets the uniform building code," he said.
Pat Abbott, a geologist, said despite the amount of aftershocks the frequency of them was normal.
"It feels like non-stop earthquakes. But if you scale them down, they're only on the order of one-percent of the Easter earthquake," he said.
According to Abbott, the reason why some residents may be feeling more earthquakes was because there are several fault lines that haven't been active for several years until recently. He said that energy was most likely being released.
"You have the Elsinore fault, from Julian, up past Lake Elsinore that's lagging behind," he said. "There's also one to the east, the San Jacinto fault, which is ready to go in about a magnitude seven."
"I would say that we will expect to see some events possibly as nearly as we saw last night over the next few weeks, but that will gradually diminish in time," said Peter Davis of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
According to Abbott, statistics show that there is a 59 percent chance of a 7.0 magnitude earthquake or greater will hit the area in the next 30 years and it will most likely come from the San Andreas Fault.Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times

As The Great Race Place readies for its most highly anticipated opener in many years, the world's finest reinsmen are once again set to converge on Arcadia for Santa Anita's traditional winter/spring opener on Dec. 26.
Rafael Bejarano, Garrett Gomez, Joel Rosario and Hall of Famer Mike Smith headline an extensive "A" List jockeys' colony that will also include Tyler Baze, Brice Blanc, Victor Espinoza, David Flores, Martin Garcia, Corey Nakatani, Martin Pedroza, Joe Talamo, Alonso Quinonez, Chantal Sutherland, Patrick Valenzuela and others.
Bejarano, a 28-year-old native of Peru, shifted his tack to Southern California in 2007 and quickly became a Southland sensation—winning six consecutive major meet riding titles in 2008 and through the 2008/2009 Santa Anita meeting.
Hard-working and likeable, the unassuming Bejarano is in search of his fourth consecutive Santa Anita title, a feat most recently accomplished by the great Pincay in 1973. In addition to being a great judge of pace, Bejarano has an uncanny ability to adapt to any game-day scenario and approaches each race with a refreshingly positive attitude. By all accounts, Bejarano, should he remain healthy, is destined to become a member of Thoroughbred Racing's Hall of Fame.
Bejarano, through Dec. 12, had 2,370 career wins and he will again be represented this winter by his long-time agent, Joe Ferrer.
Garrett Gomez, fresh off victory aboard Blame in last month's $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs, has been America's leading money-winning jockey the past four years and was named the nation's Eclipse Award winning rider in 2007 and 2008.
As he demonstrated in the Classic on Nov. 6, Gomez is one of the strongest finishers in racing today and this, along with his hard-charging style, has helped to make him one of the greatest big-money riders of all time.
The son of a jockey, "Go-Go," as he is known throughout the racing world, is a native of Tucson, Arizona. Although he missed most of 2003 and 2004 due to readily acknowledged substance abuse problems, Gomez rebounded to become Santa Anita's leading rider in 2007. He finished fourth in the 2009/2010 standings and is seeking his second Santa Anita riding title.
Gomez, who through Dec. 12, had 3,423 career victories, is represented by agent Ron Anderson.
As he closes in on a double digit victory in the race for leading rider at the current Hollywood Park Fall Meeting, 25-year-old Joel Rosario could well be the most dynamic up-and-coming young talent in America today.
A native of The Dominican Republic, Rosario, at 5'2" and 109 pounds, is a tremendous finisher who reminds many horsemen of a young Pincay.
Rosario's first Southern California riding title came at the expense of Bejarano, as Rosario snapped Bejarano's run of six consecutive riding titles, by leading the standings at the 2009 Hollywood Spring/Summer meeting with 79 winners, 10 clear of Bejarano.
Rosario then went on to run away with leading rider honors at the 2009 Del Mar meeting, registering 55 wins, 23 clear of runner up Tyler Baze.
Rosario has finished fourth, third and second the past three years at Santa Anita's winter/spring meet and he's in search of his first Santa Anita title as the 2010/2011 meet approaches. He currently has 948 career wins and he is represented by veteran agent Ron Ebanks.
The regular rider of the recently retired superstar mare Zenyatta, Hall of Famer Mike Smith anchors a deep and powerful Santa Anita jockey colony.
Smith, a 45-year-old native of Roswell, New Mexico, has won 13 Breeders' Cup races, including the 2009 Classic aboard Zenyatta, in what was perhaps the most dramatic moment in Breeders' Cup and Santa Anita history.
America's Eclipse Award winning jockey in 1993 and '94, Smith, like Gomez, is regarded as one of the greatest big-game riders in the history of the sport. Along with his 13 Breeders' Cup triumphs, Smith has three Triple Crown wins, the 2010 Belmont Stakes with Drosselmeyer, the 2005 Kentucky Derby with Giacomo and the 1993 Preakness with Prairie Bayou.
In a career that has spanned three decades, Smith had amassed 4,925 career wins through Dec. 12. He is represented by agent Brad Pegram.
First post time on opening day is 12 noon. For more information or ticket reservations, fans are encouraged to visit www.santaanita.com, or to call (626) 574-RACE.

Al Pacino Will Portray Joe Paterno in "Happy Valley" Film; De Palma to Direct
By Adam Hetrick
Tony and Academy Award-winner Al Pacino, currently on Broadway in the revival of Glengarry Glen Ross, will reunite with "Scarface" director Brian De Palma for a new movie based on the life of shamed Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno, according to Deadline.com.
Pacino will portray the late Brooklyn-born coach who died last year during the height of a sex abuse scandal that rocked the sports-driven Pennsylvania university. Paterno came under fire after independent investigations showed that leaders of the university's athletic program did not thoroughly follow through on reports that retired coach Jerry Sandusky had been molesting boys on the campus for years.
Sandusky was recently found guilty on 45 counts of sexual abuse. Penn State's football team has faced numerous sanctions from NCAA, and the school also removed a statue of Paterno, a beloved figure at the university, after citing it as a point of controversy. Paterno's football wins dating back to 1998 were also stripped from the record following the scandal.
The film, which is being developed under the title "Happy Valley," is based on the 2012 book "Paterno" by Joe Posnanski. Producer Edward R. Pressman optioned the book, with Dave McKenna ("American History X") in negotiations to pen the screenplay.
Pacino also recently appeared on Broadway in The Merchant of Venice. "Happy Valley" will mark the third screen collaboration between De Palma and Pacino, following "Scarface" (1983) and "Carlito's Way" (1993).

We're just days away from the 17th mission of the Great River Honor Flight.
This trip marks the 500th veteran from the Tri-States that will make the trip to Washington, D.C., to see their memorials.
For two veterans that will be on Thursday's flight, this marks yet another milestone in their friendship. Thirty-three veterans, eight from World War II and 25 from the Korean War, sat quietly in the cafeteria of John Wood Community College on Sunday as they were being prepped for the upcoming trip.
But for Hayden Adkison and Donald Ince, who've been friends since they were little boys growing up in Louisiana, Missouri, this trip means more than just a visit to our nation's capital.
Whether it's visiting the grave of an old friend at Arlington National Cemetery, witnessing the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, or even the escort home from a motorcade of motorcycles.
These are the memories that belong to those of Honor Flight veterans past, memories Hayden Adkison, a Korean and World War Two veteran and Donald Ince, also a World War Two veteran, hope to make together on Thursday.
"We've probably known each other since I was four, so 80 years," said Adkison.
"We went 12 years of school with each other in the same building, and it's just an honor to be able to go with each other,"said Ince.
The two friends say they were virtually inseparable. Until, they graduated high school.
"They went down and enlisted, that's what we did, everyone of us just went down and signed up, he went to the Marines, and I went to the Navy," said Ince.
And now decades later, both men say they are ready for the one day trip to Washington, D.C.
"Just spend some time with some old veterans and see the memorials," said Adkison.
"I have a brother that was in WWII ahead of me, five years older, and I'm looking forward to seeing his name on it," said Ince.
If you'd like to welcome the veterans back Thursday night, they're expected to be back around 10:30 p.m. at the John Wood Community College Basketball Arena in Quincy.

Katherine makes the impossible happen, Meggie's plan goes off with a hitch, and Heather makes a difficult decision.
Paul stops in to visit J.T. and Mac. He is stunned to hear that they are moving to D.C. today! Mac leaves to tell Kay, and J.T. tells Paul he had too much heart damage to be an officer. Paul is sorry. As Paul leaves, J.T. asks him to wish Heather the best. Paul looks concerned. Mac returns later and tells J.T. she couldn't find her grandmother. Within minutes there is a knock - it's Kay. She tells them Murphy has been moved to a long-term care facility. She notices the boxes and Mac explains what is going on. Kay says she'll miss them, but is happy for her about the job. They talk about getting married and Katherine offers to make it happen today! When she's gone, they banter playfully and kiss.
Heather's adviser comes into her office and tells her she is leading in the polls. She grins. Paul knocks and enters. The adviser leaves. Heather reassures a tense Paul that she has everything with Victor under control.
At home, Vikki tells Billy that Vance said the same thing as Michael - J.T. has the right to take Reed out-of-state. They look at the article about Victor and Heather on the laptop. Vikki continues to be melancholy. Billy notes that she didn't sleep well. Vikki urges him to go about his day - she's going to visit her mom.
At the Ranch, Meggie offers Victor coffee when he walks into the room. Victor tells her it's not a good time to take a trip. Taken aback, Meggie starts talking. Victor excuses himself to take a call. He returns to the room and says a deal fell through. Meggie talks him into taking the trip.
As Deacon lies with Nikki on her bed, Meggie calls his cellphone and tells him that she and Victor are off to Vegas - by this afternoon she'll be his bride, and by tonight his widow! Deacon says his priority is Nikki right now and hangs up. He asks Nikki if she's feeling better this morning. Nikki murmurs that she's numb. He leaves, and Victoria arrives in tears shortly after. She tells Nikki what is going on with Reed. Nikki wants to check out, but Vikki won't allow it. Nikki upsets her by suggesting she call Victor. Victoria says she'd have custody if not for the stunt he pulled. They talk more and Nikki says they'll get through this together. Vikki leaves, and Deacon asks Nikki if she's alright. She tells him what's going on and says she's calling Victor. She can't reach him, so tries Meggie, whose voicemail says she's gone to Nevada with Mr. Newman!
Billy enters the Club, where a reporter asks if the article he published is true. Billy says he doesn't make stuff up. Heather and Paul arrive and sit down in the dining room. She soon gets a call from a reporter about Billy's article. Billy appears nearby and Heather storms over and confronts him. She says he twisted it to look like she did something wrong. Billy feels that she did. Paul comes over and asks if he had to ruin Heather's reputation to get to Victor. Billy says she shouldn't have taken Victor's money. Heather and Paul sit back down and Heather gets a call from the party chairman - her poll numbers are plummeting and they want her to resign. When a gaggle of reporters appears, Paul stands by her as she says she did nothing wrong, but is withdrawing her candidacy.
On the jet, Meggie decides that Victor needs a Bloody Caesar. She fixes it, and then thanks him for all he's done for her. Victor begins to slur his words as he tells Meggie to order the pilot to turn the jet around. Meggie says Nikki didn't appreciate him. As he becomes increasingly out of it, Meggie convinces him he's proposed. She gets arrangements started to land in Reno and have a ceremony. When the officials show up, Victor signs on the dotted line, vows are exchanged, and photos are snapped!
Billy shows up at Mac and J.T.'s house. Billy says he understands they are doing what they think is best for their family, but reminds them that Reed loves his mom to pieces and will be miserable without her. He says it's ripping Vikki to pieces. J.T. leaves Mac to talk to Billy, who says he wants to be happy for her, but he can only see the pain it's causing his wife. After he's gone, Katherine returns and says, "There's going to be a wedding this afternoon!"
Billy finds Victoria at Crimson Lights and says they'll figure this out. Vikki knows J.T. won't change his mind. Billy reassures her they'll work it all out - J.T. doesn't want to keep Reed from her. Victoria cries that she'll never forgive J.T.
Spoilers for Tomorrow in Genoa City on The Young and the Restless:
Daisy wants to go to a hospital, or the baby stays behind bars with her.
Reed tells Billy and Victoria he's going to be in Daddy and Mac's wedding.
Nikki tells Deacon she needs a drink!

Hunter charged with DUI manslaughter
Date: October 29, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
The state attorney's office has charged former Braden River High School football coach Josh Hunter with DUI manslaughter for the March car crash that killed assistant coach Doug Garrity, said Earl Varn, felony division chief, today.
The charges are the same as the ones Florida Highway Patrol investigators recommended last month.
Hunter resigned from coaching the Pirates in May, about one month after the tragedy. He did not return to teach this fall.
According to FHP reports, Hunter was driving his Ford truck at about 11:50 p.m., March 21, at the on-ramp to Interstate 75 at State Road 681 in Nokomis. The truck veered off the road and overturned after Hunter failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway.

Earlier in May, the Yankees' Brett Gardner suffered a setback in his comeback from an elbow injury.
Monday, he took a step toward returning to action. From Marc Carig:
Brett Gardner's latest attempt to finally come off the disabled list began today when the injured outfielder was allowed to swing a bat for the first time in nearly two weeks. He took only "dry swings," meaning that he didn't actually hit baseballs, but it's progress for the speedy outfielder who has been on the shelf since April 18.
Under the best-case scenario, Gardner could make his return to the Yankees in as little as 10 days.
The term "dry swings" makes one wonder what "wet swings" might be. But perhaps that's a story for a different website.
The Yankees have missed Gardner's speed in the field and on the bases. They hope he can go on a rehab assignment soon, but before that he'll have to swing without aggravating the injury.

In 2000, Mark Hogancamp was beaten into a coma by five men outside of a bar in Kingston, NY. Unable to continue
Book about Marwencol produced by the filmmakers
paying for medical help, Hogancamp began to create a new world in his backyard as a form of physical and emotional therapy during his recovery (which is ongoing). The resulting 1/6th scale Belgian village, named Marwencol, is a fantasy oasis set in the middle of World War II peopled with lifelike dolls, many based on real people in Hogancamp's life. And this town has, in turn, become the subject of a new documentary of the same name.
The story of Marwencol begins when Hogancamp's alter ego crash-lands in a European field and is drawn into an almost-empty village by a group of beautiful women. He makes this place his home, beginning a narrative that continues and grows day by day as new dolls and storylines are introduced. This "second" world has rescued Hogancamp, helping him to deal with an attack that still haunts him and keeps him from fully functioning outside the village.
Mark Hogancamp at his White
Columns art show in New York City.
Three weeks ago, when director James Benning was in San Francisco, he spoke briefly about his love for folk artists such as Vivian Girls creator Henry Darger. At the same time he pointed out that we're too apt to label this work as primitive; the so-called folk art that really rises to the top needs no context, it's successful in and of itself. While Hogancamp's story is deeply moving, and in the documentary he comes across as intelligent and endearing, it's the work itself that elevates the story. Director Jeff Malmberg features Hogancamp's photographs heavily, which is a good choice, especially considering Hogancamp remains reluctant to leave his home, so this is a rare chance to see his images of the town writ large.
|Jeff Malmberg, Director
Marwencol is the well-deserved winner of the SXSW Jury Prize for Best Documentary Feature (I predict there will be a screening in San Francisco and other cities soon). Director Malmberg and co-producer Chris Shellen were in attendance in Austin, and were selling a small book of Mark E. Hogancamp's photographs. This isn't currently available for sale online, but check back at the Marwencol website in the coming weeks.

I have been asked by a client to do some research on modular construction for a new office project we have coming up. This will probably involve a cost/benefit analysis of modular vs. traditional construction. As I have little or no experience of modular construction, I thought I would seek some advice from you, the kind people of archiseek.
Have you got any experience of modular construction? Have you ever carried out comparitive analysis between the two methods? I would be very keen to hear from you.

Cooks Illus. April 2010 Issue Tests Staub dutch oven Against Le Creuset
Since the Staub v. LeCresuet debate has no signs of ending, i thought i'd throw this stick onto the fire. The April 2010 issue tests the Staub against the lecreuset, and here is a summary:
1. CI compared 7 1/4 qt lecresuet to the Staub 8 qt
2. Both browned meat beautfully and created flavorful fond.
3. BUT...CI said the black interior made it diffucult to see if fond was developing or burning AND the pot and lid weighed 6 pounds more than the lecreuset.
CI concluded that Staub comes in 2nd place to lecreuset.
re: yellowrose3502
As the OP said, March/April 2010. See "Equipment Corner" on page 52, the last page.
re: kariface
I can understand why someone might like the basting spikes, but why would you choose an interior color that makes it hard to see what you're cooking?
re: Chemicalkinetics
Its light-colored interior is one of the things I've most liked about LC over the years. I have friends at whose house I've cooked lots of times, and I just hate using their Calphalon. It feels like a handicap. I have a 14", 7 qt Calphalon sauteuse from the original line, and I think the only way I would use it is if my LC and AC Dutch ovens were full.
re: Jay F
I don't have a hard time seeing what i'm cooking at all. Either chalk it up to culinary school, and years of experience on a line, but i've never had a problem seeing how anything was coming along.
I find I get a much better sear with my staub than LeCreuset, and my LeCreuset shows wear and has stained over the years, where the dark interior of a Staub hides all of that.
re: kariface
I've never cooked in anything Staub. Never even looked inside one, TTYTT. But I've felt hobbled by the Calphalon I've cooked in (1980s, second anodized series, matching dark lids replacing original silver-looking lids), and it's because it's dark, dark, dark in those pots. I like being able to see everything when I'm cooking.
Not to say I couldn't become acclimated to Staub, but I like my LC just fine. If it ain't broke...
Maybe I'll take a look next time I'm at In the Kitchen.
I do a lot of woodworking and every magazine does tool reviews. I rarely agree with all of their findings. In many cases what they consider to be most important isn't all that important to me. I never find them totally wrong, but in many cases I prefer #2 or #3 pick over #1. In this case I sure both are very good pieces of equipment and it comes down to personal preference on interior color, top knob material, spikes on the lid, and overall design and finish. Pick one or both and enjoy. Since we put ours in the oven, I prefer the metal knob as standard equipment. I don't think you can go wrong with either one, just avoid the China CRAP.
re: mikie
Actually, after their standard thorough battery of controlled cooking tests CI rated the Chinese made Wal-Mart Tramontina brand as being nearly as good as the Le Creuset. The only real drawback was the smaller size of the Tramontina... 6.5 qt was smaller than CI's preferred 7.25 qt size.
In fact, Wal Mart seems to be taking CI's recommendations seriously, since they began offering an all Tramontina cookware set that almost identically mirrors CI's "Ideal a la carte cookeware set".

re: Mr Taster
My take on magazine reviews of products is rather simple, it's a spot check, a snapshot in time and they rarely if ever test durability and longivity of a product. Casting iron is not all that difficult, but doing it well is. Iron ore, energy and labor are all less expensive in China. Chinese products for years and the cheaper ones still, had difficulty with their cast iron pieces. Magazines like CI, when they do their testing, don't typically evaluate equipment after a year of use. So the pot could warp and no longer perform well on a stove top and their test would never uncover this. Enamel is more or less the same story, to fire a glaze uses a lot of energy, which again is cheep in China. But, properly firing the glaze and using all the proper ingredients in the proper proportions is critical to the long term performance of the product. I have first hand experience with my costomers having products made in China and then asking me why the part failed. More often than not, it's because the Chinese manufacturer did not use the correct material. A few incidents like this and I have no faith what so ever that things made in China are what they are supposed to be. Just because a company tests a pot and says it's lead free doesn't mean they all are. And there are also heavy metals in pigments such as Cadmium and Chromium, that you need to be concerned with.
I think you can use the CI evaluation, but you have to realize, they are not covering many of the long term issues. Just because you can cook one good meal in it doen't mean it's not China crap.
The basting spikes gather steam and drip only water onto the food--they dont really *baste*, do they??
As pretty as Staub is, there's one other negative that hasn't been mentioned here. The sides of the Staub ovens are sloped which means it's much smaller on the bottom than on the top. In looking at one 6 qt. oval pot, I doubt you can get more than two good sized leg and thigh pieces in there, or more than two good sized breast pieces. Even though it's a nice sized oven, the bottom area for browning and searing is rather limited. The sides of the LC are straight giving you much more bottom area for the size, making the pot more useful.
re: blondelle
I'm not sure what Staub pots you have or have been looking at, but the three we have, (2¼ qt., 5 qt., and 8 qt.) the sides are almost straight vertical. Certianly every bit as vertical as Le Creuset. I can get 4 very large chicken breasts in a 5 qt, pot for browning. We gave our daughter the Coq Au Vin, 5 3/4 qt. and my wife easily fit a 6 lb. roast in it with room on the bottom to spare. I'll be more than happy to measure the opening and bottom dimensions and report what I find.
I was unable to add a photo to illistrate my point.
re: mikie
I never thought of the Staubs as sloped either until it was mentioned in a review from Fine Cooking magazine. I have a coq au vin here that's going to be a gift and the the width is about 8.5" on the bottom at the widest point and 10" at the rim at the widest point. In the length it's about 10.5 " at the bottom at the widest point and 12" at the rim also at the widest point.
There is about a 1.5" difference from the top to the bottom measurement which means it's sloped. Nothing wrong with that except you lose bottom browning area.
Here is the blurb. It won for best fitting lid for some oven's lids fit better than others in each line.
1. Best-fitting lid
Staub Cocotte (5 quart, $189.95) — The richly colored high-gloss enamel, elegant design, and finial-like top handle makes this pot the most stylish of the bunch. The uniquely designed lid fits snugly and retains more moisture than other models, both on the stovetop and in the oven. The wide side handles are easy to grip with oven mitts, but the sloped sides and narrower base mean less room for searing. ChefsResource.com
Here's a link to the entire article comparing enameled dutch ovens.
A large roast or chicken fits fine but when you place unusual shaped pieces, the bottom area of this large pot it isn't all that big.
re: blondelle
My Staubs are straight too, but I have seen 2 decorative Staubs--one shaped like a pumpkin, one with a "reclining cow" lid, that are definitely slanted, but not the regular Dutch ovens.
re: blondelle
Here's my LC 7¼ qt compared to Staub 5qt round, Staub 7qt oval and All-Clad 8qt. The LC opening measures 11 3/8" across and the flat bottom is 9". The Staub 5qt round opening measures 10 ¼ " and 7 3/4" at the bottom. So basically they are both smaller at the bottom and the sloping isn't that different.
There's also a picture of the interior of the Staub to show a "step" on the sidewall. This is so you can invert the lid and stack the pots. Brilliant!
re: pabboy
I measured my LC 5 qt. oval and there was only a 1/2" difference between the inside bottom and the same measurement at the rim. The Staub was another inch of difference.
I have no idea of the reason they do that but I'm sure there is one.
re: blondelle
FWIW, as a practical matter, castings need to have some slope (the foundry term is "draft" that allows for the impression to be made in the casting sand and the "core" removed. If the walls were exactly vertical, the impression in the sand would be disrupted as the core was withdrawn, ruining the casting.
My guess is that Staub, LC and just about every other manufacturer of cast iron cookware uses some variation of the DISA process, an automated casting system where the front of one mold serves as the back of the next mold.
re: blondelle
Maybe it's just easier to manufacture them that way? To release them from a mold or something?
re: blondelle
I measured three sizes we have, the measurements on the 5 qt. round was 10" ID at the top and 9 1/2" ID just above the radius at the bottom. I also measured the side angle with a protractor and it's slightly under 5 degrees. The 8 qt. round was 11 7/8" ID at the top and 10 3/4" ID just above the radius on the bottom. The Coq Au Vin was a little trickier, but it was 9 1/2" x 11 3/4" at the top and 8 1/2" x 10 1/2" at the bottom. When measured with a protractor all had about a 5 degree slope. I looked at a LC this evening at the store and I really can't say I could tell the difference in the angel of the side walls. As has been stated, you have to have draft to get the cast iron out of the mold.
In all cases I measured the inside of the pot using a technique for measuring inside diameters.
re: pabboy
Mr Taster
I've owned Le Creuset pans for more than 25 years (bought my first while living in France) and then 8 years ago got a Staub to try. Yes Staub is a little heavier but the Le Creuset finish becomes pitted after a while and then it's impossible to clean, even with soaking. It was wonderful to clean up in the beginning when I'd have something burned on the bottom. After it's pitted it wasn't so nice any more so I'd get a new one. Staub finish is much sturdier and still cleans up easily. I'd like to hear what Cook's says after 10 years.
And I'm not a cooking professional and don't have a problem seeing how things are cooking in the dark interior. Good overhead lighting helps no matter whether the interior is light or dark. BTW Le Creuset skillets have a black interior.

Firefighters in Alpharetta received an award from the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals after quickly saving ducklings that had fallen down a storm drain.
On Thursday, PETA called the fire department when a member reported a mother duck had become frantic after her babies fell down a storm drain.
Minutes later, fireman arrived and removed the grate. One of the firefighters climbed down into the drain and scooped up all eight ducklings and carefully placed them in a cat carrier.
The crew released the ducklings a safe distance from the drain just as their mother flew by to retrieve them.
According to PETA, less than 30 minutes passed from the time that PETA placed the phone call until the duck family was safely reunited.
"Thanks to their dedicated and swift action, these firefighters took what could have ended in tragedy and turned it into the happiest possible Mother's Day for a loving mother duck and her family," says PETA Associate Director of Cruelty Investigations Stephanie Bell. "Alpharetta is very fortunate to have first responders who are ready to protect and serve all residents— including the ones with wings."
The firefighters received PETA's Compassionate Fire Department Award, which includes a framed certificate, a letter of appreciation and a box of vegan chocolates.

Ask any parent: Babies have their own plans.
And this little guy proved it by coming into the world when doctors didn't expect him to!
Doctors even sent his mom home, saying she wasn't ready to give birth yet.
But you won't believe where she ended up having the baby, and who helped make it happen.
"This is my third child, my second son, and he was named after his grandfather, Melik Leroy Smith," said the child's mother, Melissa Hughes Smith.
And he may be the calmest newborn ever FOX 29's Claudia Gomez reported. Surprising, considering the commotion he caused when he suddenly appeared Thursday evening.
"I actually had him in the parking lot of my apartment," his mother said.
That's right, Melik arrived on a piece of asphalt in Northeast Philly.
"Right after we closed the door to the apartment I felt the contractions coming again, and I knew the baby was coming," Hughes Smith said.
She and her husband had gone to a hospital five hours earlier, but doctors sent her home. They told her labor wasn't progressing quickly, and she'd have to come back later. Hughes thought she had more time.
"I was expecting it to be longer than it was because my first two children took between 20 and 24 hours to deliver," she said. "I was in labor that long."
LIttle Melik caught everybody by surprise. His older brother and sister were both born a week late, and he wasn't due until April 4. But when he decided to arrive, there was no stopping him.
Hughes and her husband tried to make it back to the hospital. They got as far as their car.
"I was in the passenger seat, and I was half-way outside the vehicle," the mother said, laughing.
Luckily, Melik's dad is a big football fan.
"He was ready. He's a sports person, so he was like in position, like to catch a football," mom said.
Luckier still, Melik's grandmother is a nurse.
"He was hollering for my mother to get a towel, who was in the apartment, looking out the window because she heard all the screaming," Hughes Smith said.
Grandma delivered the baby, and dad cut the umbilical cord. It was a true family affair, and a story Melik no doubt will tell the rest of his life, Gomez reported Friday night from outside at Hahnemann University Hospital.
"It's one of those things that you see on TV, that you hear another couple talking about on the news. It's not something that you expect to happen to you," the mother said, later calling her son, "My miracle Easter baby."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Eight months and one day. That's how long it's been since Cliff Warren and his Jacksonville University men's basketball team last laced up the sneakers and took the court. The wait comes to an end on Friday night in Tallahassee as the Dolphins travel to face Florida State at 8 p.m. from the Donald L. Tucker Center. Fans that can't make it to the game can watch online on ESPN3 or listen to the radio broadcast on 92.5 FM in the Jacksonville area. Scott Manze will call the action with Artis Gilmore providing the commentary on the radio home of Dolphins basketball.
Fans can look forward to an exciting season of hoops from JU, who return three starters and a total of seven letterwinners from last year's team. Joining those seven will be seven new faces – five freshmen and two graduate transfers – who will push for playing time and give the Dolphins needed depth at every position.
Much is expected this season out of senior Keith McDougald. Jacksonville's leading scorer last season at more than 13 points per contest, McDougald improved in nearly every category once the Dolphins entered conference play and put together a scoring average of over 15 points per game within the Atlantic Sun. He was one of 10 players chosen for this year's Preseason All-Atlantic Sun Team.
Back for their sophomore seasons after breakout freshman campaigns are Jarvis Haywood and Kordario Fleming. Each was named to the Atlantic Sun All-Freshman Team in 2012-13. Haywood finished second on the team in scoring (11.5 ppg) while making 30 starts. Fleming led Jacksonville in minutes played a year ago and was the team's second-leading rebounder (5.4 rpg).
Also returning for the Dolphins is senior Javon Dawson, who won A-Sun Newcomer of the Week honors twice last season after transferring in from Utah. He's joined by big man Tyler Alderman, who played in every contest as a freshman and looks to expand his role as a sophomore. In the backcourt, junior Jeremy Bogus and sophomore Marcellous Bell return as well. Bogus and Bell each sprang for big nights in some of JU's more high-profile non-conference games last season, with Bogus posting seven points at Indiana and Bell going off for 17 at South Carolina.
Leading the newcomers is a pair of graduate transfers who could make an immediate impact. RJ Slawson joins Jacksonville after playing for South Carolina for the past three seasons. A starter in 15 contests for the Gamecocks last season, he averaged 4.2 points and 3.3 rebounds out of his forward position. In the backcourt, floor general Vince Martin comes to JU from Young Harris College. With the Mountain Lions he earned All-Peach Belt Conference third team honors after pumping in more than 17 points per game while leading the league in assists.
A quintet of outstanding freshmen will also have a chance to shine this season. Sam Hunt is a talented point guard who comes to Jacksonville from Greensboro, N.C. Marcel White and J.R. Holder are a pair who could see time in the backcourt or at forward. Josh Murray adds size and strength down low for the Dolphins while Omar El Manasterly joins JU as a walk-on after spending time on the Egyptian U16 National Team.
Opposite Jacksonville on Friday night will be the Florida State Seminoles. Last season's 18-16 record ended a streak of four consecutive NCAA Tournament bids for the 'Noles, who then settled for the NIT and lost a first-round matchup to Louisiana Tech. Gone from that team is leading scorer Michael Snaer, a player known as much if not more for his numerous late-game heroics as he was for his overall scoring ability. In his absence, senior forward Okaro White (12.4 ppg, 5.9 rpg in 2012-13) is expected to step up his offensive production and possibly contend for a spot on one of the all-ACC squads. The Seminoles certainly don't lack for size, with three seven-footers on the team and a total of six players measuring at 6-9 or above.
A series that used to be contested at least once and often twice a season throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s, the meetings between the two sides have dwindled in recent years. This will, however, be the third time in the past five seasons that Florida State and Jacksonville have opened its seasons against one another. FSU has won 17 straight dating back to the 1987-88 season and hold a 46-19 all-time series edge.
Jacksonville makes its home debut at Swisher Gym on Tuesday night, facing the Florida College Falcons at 7 p.m.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Lots of you have read the title and are screaming 'cos we're in the bottom 3 you idiot!' A valid argument but lets draw some comparisons with another manager who is in a similar position yet seems to be escaping any attention what so ever in terms of the threat to his job.
I'm talking of course about Paul Lambert. Now don't get me wrong, I like Lambert. I like what he's doing at Aston Villa even if I don't like the club itself. He's brought new young players in and it's the assumption that he will be given time to rebuild Villa. That all sounds fine so why is O'Neill getting the stick he is? The only argument that could be levelled at O'Neill is that he has been at the club longer but when you look at the transfer dealings there isn't much difference.
Since O'Neill has been at SAFC he has bought the grand total of four players to the club and only two have actually required a fee. You could include the loan signings of Bridge and Krygiakos last season, who did a job, and Rose this season who has been superb but in terms of playing staff who belong to the club it is just the four. The total cost in transfer fees that O'Neill has bought in is around £22m, £12m for Fletcher and £10m for Johnson. When you consider that Lambert has spent around £23.7m on eight players in his short time at Villa it does make you wonder why he isn't coming in for any stick.
Basically, O'Neill is a victim of his own success. He worked a miracle last season when he took Steve Bruce's shower of shit on a winning run to take them well away from the relegation zone. Let's face it though, apart from Fletcher, Johnson, Cuellar and Rose, it is still Steve Bruce's shower of shit. I suppose what I'm saying is that Villa is more Paul Lambert's team than Sunderland is Martin O'Neill's team. It's gonna take time and a few more signings before it can properly be Martin O'Neill's Sunderland. You only have to look at the improvement of players like Cattermole and just lately Connor Wickham to realise just what a good manager he really is. Yes i'm worried, I've supported Sunderland far too long to be comfortable. If we were in the top four right now I'd still be looking for the forty point mark. But lets calm down a bit and give the bloke a little time.
