The Office of Educational Assessment is committed to promoting and sustaining a culture of continuous improvement for the UD community.
The Office of Educational Assessment as part of the Center for Teaching and Assessment of Learning maintains a mission to assess how well undergraduate students attain the UD General Education goals and to support academic departments and units assessing undergraduate and graduate student learning. The OEA staff provides services that encourage program enhancements through the implementation of systematic assessment of student learning.
To accomplish our mission our primary functions are to:
11:47 a.m., Sept. 12, 2011--Incoming freshmen enter the University of Delaware with reading, writing and critical thinking skills that are at the level of sophomores and juniors at comparable Research I universities, according to the results of the 2010 Educational Proficiency Profile (EPP), an SAT-like standardized test developed by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) to measure competencies in core areas of general education skills.
To confirm the results and measure the "value added" by a UD education, the Office of Educational Assessment (OEA) designed a comparative study for more than 100 undergraduate freshmen and seniors, and found substantial gains across critical thinking measures. This OEA study, which examined actual artifacts -- or work done by students in their courses -- to assess writing and critical thinking skills, provided a more nuanced method in understanding gains amongst UD students in these skills than standardized tests such as ETS' EPP.
"By using developmental rubrics, we can measure greater gains than a standardized test," says OEA Director Kathy Pusecker. "What's more, we can break down the criteria for something as big and nebulous as 'critical thinking,' and answer questions like, 'Where are our students doing well? In what areas do they still need improvement? '"
OEA found gains ranging from 50-78 percent in critical thinking areas such as analysis, conclusions and design, indicating that "as students conduct more research, they understand methods and can better synthesize information," adds Pusecker.
And that, she says, is the goal of the office -- to help all departments, programs and faculty assess how well their students are learning the material they want them to learn.
Assessment and accreditation
OEA played an integral role in the reaccreditation process from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, writing three of the 14 chapters demonstrating the University's proficiency in student learning assessment.
But while the accreditation process may have ended, assessment has not.
"One of the biggest misconceptions people have is that we've stopped now that Middle States is over," Pusecker says. "I tell them, 'No, we're always assessing student learning. '"
This ongoing effort is made possible by OEA's three Faculty Assessment Scholars: Delphis Levia, an associate professor of geography; Donald Lehman, an associate professor of medical technology; and Ian Crawford, an associate professor and acting chair of the Department of English with extensive experience in higher education accreditation and student learning assessment.
The three scholars work on numerous initiatives, from running workshops to help faculty create observable and measurable goals; to creating "assessment rubrics" for faculty to use in their classrooms; to working with departments and programs on "curricular design mapping," thereby ensuring that students are introduced to concepts that are reinforced and applied as their education progresses.
Their most recent initiative involves assessing e-portfolios of student work to measure learning.
As a faculty scholar, Levia stresses the importance of iterative assessments, stating, "We need to know where we are so that we can get to where we need to be."

After nearly a year of planning what to do with the Waterbury office complex and Vermont State hospital the state could soon be back at square one. Federal Emergency Management Agency funding is not coming through.
Finance Commissioner Jim Reardon says FEMA has changed its tune. The state was expecting to get reimbursed for the majority of the costs for the Waterbury office complex and state hospital, now they know they won't get as much as they expected.
It dominated the Vermont legislative session.
"We knew we were faced with rebuilding Vermont as we entered the beginning of this session," said Rep. Shap Smith, D-Vt. House Speaker, on March 20.
After battling for months over the number of beds to put in the Vermont State Hospital, the state now faces a new problem: How to pay for them.
"The federal government is not the state of Vermont. Getting answers out of them is slower and more complicated than it is dealing with anyone in Vermont," said Gov. Peter Shumlin, D-Vermont.
Since September, Shumlin expected FEMA would be footing the bill. Friday morning lawmakers were told plans for the Waterbury office complex and the Vermont State Hospital might have to be re-evaluated. The estimated cost of construction for the Vermont State Hospital and the new state office complex is $183 million. The state of Vermont set aside $63 million during this legislative session and past year. That leaves a $120 million gap. A gap FEMA promised to pay 90 percent of.
"We are pushing FEMA as hard as we can to get the maximum amount that I feel we were promised for the state hospital and also for the reconstruction of the Waterbury complex, and they have not given us a definitive answer on what we are going to get," Shumlin said.
Shumlin says the state won't rebuild without federal dollars. Officials were not clear about what made FEMA change its commitment.
As for state workers who were promised they'd be back in Waterbury by 2015-- Reardon says nothing is off the table. So it could mean the groundbreaking date will be pushed back along with the end date or it could mean scrapping the plans the state has spent a year on and looking for a more financially feasible option.

Oakman High Principal Patrick Gann said the students and faculty were thrilled to hear about the donation, which came from Julian Davidson, an Oakman native and a pioneer of America's missile defense program.
"I really feel like it's an important thing when you see someone who is that successful come back and want to be involved in the school," Gann said.
Davidson, now in his 80s, started work as an engineer at Huntsville's Redstone Arsenal in 1957 and worked for 16 years in the U.S. Army's Ballistic Missile Defense program. Davidson and his wife, Dorothy, are the namesake for the Davidson Center for Space Exploration in Huntsville, which houses the Saturn V rocket. The Davidsons contributed millions of dollars for the construction of the center.
In 1996, Julian Davidson formed Davidson Technologies in Huntsville, which employs more than 200 engineers involved in missile defense activities.
The Davidsons have also endowed scholarship programs at Auburn University and the University of Alabama at Huntsville.
"I'm a strong advocate of education" Julian Davidson said. "One of our priorities is to send as many people to school as we can."
Gann said Oakman High's computer lab had not been updated since 2005, and the computers are vital for online courses and business classes for students.
Julian Davidson said he and his wife agreed to the publicity of the donation in an effort to encourage more alumni to contribute to Oakman schools.
Gann said Davidson's career helps demonstrate to students all that can be accomplished through hard work and education.
"It's good for them to see a local success," Gann said.

Friend of Prince Harry clocked at 129mph on A303 (From Salisbury Journal)

Friend of Prince Harry clocked at 129mph on A303
6:00am Thursday 13th December 2012 in News By Journal Reporter
PRINCE Harry's close friend Guy Pelly has been disqualified from driving after being clocked doing 129mph on the A303 near Cholderton.
Pelly, 30, was stopped by traffic police on the 70mph limit dual carriageway at 12.50pm on March 17 and was due to appear at Salisbury Magistrates Court on Friday.
The nightclub entrepreneur, who has been a friend of both Prince Harry and Prince William since school, did not turn up and his barrister, James Harrison told the court he was ill.
It was the second time Pelly had been ill when due to appear at court, and Mr Harrison told magistrates his client was happy for the case to proceed in his absence.
PC Adrian Ridley told the court he had spotted Pelly's Audi R8 sports car from about 1km away and judged it was travelling "significantly faster" than the cars around it.
Mr Harrison said Pelly did not dispute he was speeding but claimed it was nowhere near as fast as the police officer said.
PC Ridley told the court he had more than 20 years' experience and was satisfied there was nothing wrong with the equipment or the reading it gave.
He said: "It's not an option at all that there was something wrong with the reading. I'm more than happy the speed I got on the device was the correct speed."
The magistrates said they found the policeman credible and were satisfied the device was working accurately.
Pelly, of Sheffield Terrace, Kensington, London, was fined £750, ordered to pay £265 costs, and disqualified from driving for 56 days.

Got form too!
"Land management graduate Pelly was previously banned from driving in 2007 when he admitted speeding at 90 mph on the M4 in his Volkswagen. On that occasion he unsuccessfully begged magistrates not to disqualify him, saying he needed to give lifts to his disabled mum.
Pelly was caught speeding in an Audi R8 V10 (£100k) which has a top speed of 197 mph
He appears to have got away with a very tiny fine.

Caught speeding? - A one month ban for every 1mph over the limit should suffice - therefore keeping this very dangerous driver off our roads for 59 months.
The longer he has to catch the bus, the safer it will be for the rest of us.

Arlington Voice - Week 10
November 5, 2012Sam Houston High School
Martin Warriors (7-2, 6-0) at Bowie Volunteers (8-1, 6-0)
THE SERIES: The Warriors lead the series, 13-7, despite the fact that Bowie has won four of the last six years and has taken six of the last 10 meetings. Martin won the only previous meeting at Wilemon Field in 2001.
LAST WEEK: Martin remained unbeaten in district action with a 52-21 thumping of Sam Houston, while Bowie also remained perfect in 3-5A play with a 38-7 win over Arlington High.
THE SHOWDOWN: Only once before have two Arlington ISD teams played the final week with perfect district records. That was in 2002, when Arlington High finished its perfect district mark with a 21-16 victory over Lamar, for the Vikings' only district loss.
NOVEMBER REIGN: Not only has Martin won 11 consecutive district games (tied for the fifth-longest streak in AISD history), but the Warriors have won their last five games in November, and seven of their last eight.
1992 Martin, 31-14 (Mav) 1999 Martin, 38-14 (Mav) 2006 Bowie, 54-34 (Mav)
1993 Bowie, 23-20 (Mav) 2000 Martin, 12-7 (Crav) 2007 Bowie, 49-21 (Crav)
1994 Martin, 35-31 (Crav) 2001 Martin, 25-13 (Wile) 2008 Bowie, 38-12 (Mav)
1995 Martin, 31-27 (Mav) 2002 Bowie, 20-12 (Crav) 2009 Bowie, 23-21 (Crav)
1996 Martin, 21-10 (Mav) 2003 Bowie, 40-22 (Mav) 2010 Martin, 38-14 (Mav)
1997 Martin, 28-21 (Crav) 2004 Martin, 45-7 (Mav) 2011 Martin, 39-22 (Crav)
1998 Martin, 28-0 (Crav) 2005 Martin, 44-39 (Crav)
Fort Worth Paschal Panthers (2-7, 0-6) at Lamar Vikings (4-5, 3-3)
THE SERIES: The Vikings lead the series, 4-0, including both previous meetings at Cravens Field.
LAST WEEK: Lamar moved a step closer to the playoffs with a 41-14 pounding of Weatherford, while Paschal remained winless in district action with a 31-12 loss to North Crowley.
TO BE CONTINUED: A victory would extend Lamar's season into the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year.
2002 Lamar, 41-0 (Cravens) 2010 Lamar, 35-10 (Clark)
2003 Lamar, 79-7 (Farrington) 2011 Lamar, 52-12 (Cravens)
Arlington Colts (7-2, 4-2) at North Crowley Panthers (3-6, 3-3)
THE SERIES: The Colts lead the series, 3-0, including the only previous meeting in Crowley.
LAST WEEK: Arlington High saw its four-game winning streak come to an end with a 38-7 loss to Bowie, while North Crowley remained alive in the playoff hunt with a 31-12 win over Fort Worth Paschal.
THOSE PESKY PANTHERS: For what it's worth, North Crowley can still force a three-way tie with Arlington and Lamar with a win Friday night. It would make all three teams 4-3 in district action and force the district to look for its list of tie-breakers.
2008 Arlington, 21-0 (Birdville AC)
2010 Arlington, 55-19 (Maverick)
2011 Arlington, 42-35 (Crowley)
Weatherford Kangaroos (2-7, 1-5) at Sam Houston Texans (2-7, 1-5)
THE SERIES: Weatherford leads the series, 4-3-1, but has never beaten the Texans at Wilemon Field. In fact, the Kangaroos haven't won a game in the city of Arlington since 1990.
LAST WEEK: Sam Houston dropped its fifth straight game with a 52-21 loss to Martin, while Weatherford absorbed a 41-14 loss to Lamar.
ENDING ON A DOWNER: Sam Houston has lost its last regular season game seven of the last eight years. The lone win was 2010's 54-25 result over Weatherford.
1964 Weatherford, 14-3 (W'ford) 1990 S. Houston, 37-20 (Wilemon)
1965 Weatherford, 26-0 (UTA) 1991 TIE, 23-23 (W'ford)
1988 Weatherford, 10-7 (W'ford) 2010 S. Houston, 54-25 (Wile.)
1989 Sam Houston, 34-9 (Wilemon) 2011 Weatherford, 33-27 (W'ford)
Juan Seguin Cougars (3-6, 2-4) at Red Oak Hawks (6-3, 5-1)
THE SERIES: The series is tied, 1-1, with each team winning on its home field.
LAST WEEK: Seguin remained part of the playoff picture by smashing Mansfield Lake Ridge, 52-7, while Red Oak moved into a tie for the lead in the district by beating Waxahachie, 34-17.
A LONG SHOT: Seguin can still make the playoffs, but it will have to have some help. The Cougars must beat Red Oak (a tall task in itself), and have Waxahachie lose to Ennis (more likely). The result would be either a tie for the final playoff spot (which would go to Seguin for its head-to-head win over the Indians), or a three-way tie with Summit (in which the Cougars would advance in the head-to-head points tie-breaker).
2006 Seguin, 33-13 (Wilemon)
2007 Red Oak, 21-14 (Red Oak)
Lancaster Tigers (8-1, 5-1) at Summit Jaguars (3-6, 3-3)
THE SERIES: This will be the first meeting between the Jaguars and Tigers.
LAST WEEK: Summit outlasted Mansfield Legacy, 43-37, while Lancaster rebounded from its loss to Red Oak by blasting Ennis, 51-14.
Timberview Wolves (3-6, 2-4) at Duncanville Panthers (2-7, 1-5)
THE SERIES: The series is tied, 1-1, with each team winning on its home field.
LAST WEEK: Timberview lost to Midlothian, 28-10, while Duncanville was routed by South Grand Prairie, 44-12.
2010 Duncanville, 47-22 (Duncanville)
2011 Timberview, 39-28 (Anderson)

Breaking the grip of budget hysteria
Public debate about economic policy in the UK is mesmerised by the budget deficit, with the three main political parties, the media and most commentators competing over the timing and severity of measures to reduce it. The dominant view is that the deficit must be cut quickly and that this will involve swingeing cuts in public expenditure and some increase in taxation. Yet output has fallen 6 per cent below its pre-recession peak and unemployment has risen from 5 to 8 per cent of the workforce.
The lessons of the Great Depression and John Maynard Keynes seem to have been forgotten: when private sector spending on consumption and investment falls, public sector spending must be increased to maintain effective demand and prevent unemployment. Current policy proposals increase the danger of a double-dip recession and a new prolonged era of high unemployment, unused resources and human misery.
The key economic problems are not the size and sustainability of the budget deficit: they are our unsustainable way of life and the shortage of jobs, especially for young people. Most of the increase in the deficit stems from falling tax revenues and rising social security bills caused by the recession itself and will be reversed when the economy recovers. The government must, of course, maintain control over its finances, but it should use them to inspire public confidence in our future economic prospects. On all these counts, our best hope lies in a Green New Deal designed to promote social justice and environmental sustainability.

The North Face makes the Apex McKinley from their proprietary Apex ClimateBlock fabric. It's a recycled polyester softshell that's treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
The North Face lined the jacket with a soft fleece to provide more protection and heat retention. It's a nice feature, but tends to make the jacket a little difficult to pull over long sleeve shirts and sweaters.
Despite that one drawback, The North Face Apex McKinley delivers outstanding style and performance. It's a do-anything jacket that works around town and outside for just about any activity – hiking, camping, fishing, cross-country and spring skiing, you name it. The softshell fabric delivers both wind protection and waterproofing.
If you're looking for a softshell jacket to take you into the fall and thru the winter, the Apex McKinley is an excellent choice.

Description of The North Face Apex Mckinley Jacket The North Face Apex Mckinley jacket bares the name of the highest peak in North America but would never hold itself to just one mountain. Like a loyal companion this Apex Mckinley jacket combines 100 wind resistant fabric with a slight stretch fabrication creating a softshell piece that navigates the slopes of every mountain cutting through wind like Bruce Lee cuts through advisaries... with ease.

- Teton Village Sports
Stand up to gnarly, windy conditions with The North Face Men's Apex Mckinley Softshell Jacket. Whether you're on pitch five or hanging around town, this windproof jacket's fleece lining and stretchy shell fabric provide just enough warmth and weather protection. And with its recycled Apex ClimateBlock fabric, the Mckinley Softshell also has a soft spot for the environment.
- Backcountry Outlet
While The North Face might have created their windproof Men's Apex McKinley Jacket for climbers and alpinists, this fleece-backed soft shell outerwear garners significant support from runners, hikers and cyclists. Unlike some windproof shells that are unlined and loose for inner layers, the water-resistant Apex McKinley Jacket for men has a soft thermal fleece backing and a close athletic fit. It's ideally suited for breezy days that aren't frigid, but still cool enough for outerwear. The vertical openings on the handwarmer pockets are long enough to give you access to small essentials even while wearing a backpack or climbing harness. While completely windproof, The North Face Men's Apex McKinley Jacket is only water resistant--but that's probably to ensure that you enjoy enhanced breathable comfort while climbing, running and cycling. The molded cuff tabs at the end of the sleeves are fully adjustable and the hem cinch cord allows you to adjust the fit, so you can keep the cold air out even in gusty wind conditions.

This Goodman ASPT60D14 5 Ton Standard Multi-Positional Air Handler meets the full manufacturer's specifications, comes with the full manufacturer's warranty, and includes Alpine's premium guarantee. For product specs and photographs of product in its original condition, click here.

For Tips for Selecting Matched Components and Line Sets click here.
Standard Features
Cabinet Features
If your air handler will be installed above a conditioned space, your local code may require a secondary drain pan. See Accessories for details.
Inside air conditioning systems are liquid/gas refrigerant. There are two types of this refrigerant available for use, R-22 (more commonly known as Freon), and a newer alternative R-410A.
An air conditioning system does not consume refrigerant, but reuses it. As long as there are no leaks in the refrigerant circuit, there is no need to ever add more refrigerant to an air conditioning system.
Although R-22 is an effective refrigerant, if it is released into the atmosphere it can contribute to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer. The EPA has mandated the phasing out the use of R-22. It is being replaced by R-410A.
As of 2010, manufacturers are required to make all new air conditioners with R-410A. However, R-22 is still available for sale in existing pre-2010-manufactured equipment, and for use in servicing existing R-22 equipment. By 2020, R-22 will no longer be manufactured, but will still be recycled and available for sale.
There are three main type of blowers: Multi-Speed, High-Efficiency Multi-Speed, and Variable Speed.
Standard Multi-Speed blowers have different speed options and you select the speed that the blower will operate at depending on the function it is performing (ex. different speeds for fan, AC, and heating functions).
High-Efficiency Multi-Speed blowers are designed to maintain a constant torque and in doing so will maintain air-flow and use less electricity.
Variable Speed blowers will adjust their speed during operation. The result is a blower that will run at lower speeds for longer periods of time (this improves the air flow and increases electrical efficiency).

For students in Phil Campbell, back to school means back to portable classrooms but with a change of scenery.
This year their school zone doubles as a construction site.
As the new school year gets underway in Phil Campbell the portable units at the high school are surrounded by debris, but this year it's not from the aftermath of a tornado, it's debris from the high school that's being torn down.
As students and staff arrived early for their first day of school, so did construction crews.
They're working to remove what's left of the old Phil Campbell High School.
In just three weeks crews have managed to demolish almost the entire school, turning it into a pile of bricks.
Phil Campbell High School principal Cindy Davis said although it will be more hectic getting to and from the school this year, it's well worth it.
She said they have taken extra steps to keep everyone safe.
"It's just so exciting to see the progress. The kids know that they have got to stay confined. This is kind of a maze of walkways and all of it's gated off and fenced off and there won't be any parking in the front of the school this year. It'll all be back here behind the action," she said.
School officials said crews have a few weeks left before demolition is complete and construction of the new school will begin soon after.

Gates spars with lawyer over Windows 95, jurors yawn
It must have pretty exciting for jurors in Salt Lake City to see Bill Gates arrive to testify in Novell's antitrust case against Microsoft. That was Monday.

They say the wheels of justice turn slowly, but this is getting a little crazy.

This is the long-running Novell case, which alleges that Microsoft acted anti-competitively against… Read More

US-based Randall awaits Olympic selectionPAUL A REID Observer writer email@example.com
DESPITE a below-par performance at the JAAA/Supreme Ventures National Senior Trials where she threw 55.92 metres to win the women's discus last weekend, Allison Randall hopes to have done enough to merit inclusion on the Jamaica team to London Olympics.
US-based Randall set the national record 61.21 metres, which is also the Olympic B qualifying standard, earlier this year and says while disappointed by her performance last Friday, the best is yet to come and she hopes to get the chance to prove it.
The former Morgan State athlete told journalists her training programme was designed for her to peak at the Games and she hopes she will get that chance to join male throwers Jason Morgan and Traves Smikle.
"I was trying to get at least 59.50m to show I could do it when it matters here," she said, adding that the delayed start to the discus affected her mindset.
"My mind was ready to go at 5:30 pm and the event did not get going till about 7.00 pm, so little things like that set me back a bit... I ended up throwing 55.92," she argues.
Randall had no plans to compete before the Olympic Games: "My plans was to be able to get workouts so I could peak for the Olympics because I was able to get the B standard so early in the season so I have just been working and working...," she said.
Randall, who was born in the United States to Jamaican parents, said her plans were to let loose with a big throw in front of the Jamaican fans.
"The plan was just to air it out here, but that did not work out, so I just got to go back and hope I get selected for the London Games as I'm still working towards peaking at that time," she said.
Making it to London would also be a dream come true for her.
"I think every track athlete wants to go to the Olympics and it would be a great honour for me; all my family and friends are rooting for me ,"she added.

ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB News Channel 5) – An Alexandria man is in jail tonight for allegedly impersonating an officer.
According to the RPSO, they arrested Eric Dewayne Johnson on August 5, for impersonating a law enforcement officer.
RPSO said they were dispatched to a restaurant in reference to a theft involving a man claiming to be an officer of the law. The manager reported that Johnson contacted the restaurant on June 26. He said that he worked with the RPSO and that he was taking money for a fundraiser involving, the RPSO, Rapides Parish Police Jury and Pentecostals of Alexandria. A donation was given, but the manager said that Johnson returned the next day requesting more money.
The manager also reported that Johnson returned on August 4 for another donation. The manager called RPSO. Johnson was taken into custody.
RPSO doesn't believe this is the first time this man has impersonated an officer.
"We believe he may have done this with other businesses or individuals. We do not condone individuals soliciting donations and posing as Deputy Sheriff's in any form or fashion. There are events we help raise money for, such as the recent fundraiser for the American Red Cross. But we present letters to that fact and of course, if there is ever a question, please call our office" said Lt. Tommy Carnline, Public Information Officer.
Johnson is being charged with one count of theft of $500, and one count of false personation of a police office.
Johnson was transported to the Rapides Parish Detention Center. His bond is set at $5,250
The investigation is ongoing.

How to add Facebook Like button to javascript plugin
I have a javascript quiz plugin (created by a third party) which works well but has a Facebook Share button which is obsolete and no longer works.
I want to add a Facebook Like button to the final page of the quiz and ideally I'd like it to display the user's score when it appears as an update on their newsfeed/timeline in Facebook.
Any tips on how I can do this? I have added Facebook Like buttons to websites in the past but I'm a javascript novice.

Hmm, without seeing the obsolete code or even knowing the plugin name it's kinda hard to know what exactly you need. The best I can do is point you to this article which shows you how to make a post http://bobbelderbos.com/2011/01/facebook-api-wall-post/ , if you show me some code I can probably help you out a little better.

Vancouver's natural assets and temperate climate make it one of the best cities in the world in which to live, says the annual quality of life survey released by Mercer Human Resource Consulting. The survey placed Vancouver third out of 215 cities. Vancouver's climate helped it rise in the rankings, according to Mercer spokeswoman Danielle Bushen. The only two places that beat the West Coast city were Switzerland's Zurich and Geneva. As the largest city in Western Canada, Vancouver, BC, is the ideal place to visit. There are very few places in the world that offer the same kind of grown-up playground as Vancouver, BC.

Suicide is now responsible for killing more Americans than car accidents according to a new report released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
In Texas, suicide rates have increased 25 percent over 10 years and its a trend that has health officials worried.
Typically teens and the elderly have the highest rates of suicide, but the rate of those aged 35 to 64 has increased nearly 50 percent.
Local counselors and clinical directors say there are many aspects that factor into someone's decision to commit suicide; depression, the economy, the job market and money along with daily pressures are just a few things. Common symptoms include, seclusion and isolation, talking about suicide and an increase in drug or alcohol use.
If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, you can call the national 24-hour suicide crisis number at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

A Well-Grafted Home
Working creatively to meet strict preservation codes, architect Roberto de Leon affixes a modern annex onto a historic Louisville house.
Seeking a quieter and more kid-friendly existence, in 2007 Juliet Gray and Mathias Kolehmainen traded the glamour of the Hollywood Hills for Gray's hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Disappointed with the city's meager stock of mid-century modern houses, they settled in a 2,200-square-foot "eclectic Victorian" in the Cherokee Triangle, an enclave of restaurants, shops, and historic homes on Louisville's east side. Expanding their new living space with an addition was part of their plan from the start.
"We wanted a family room that was connected to, but not on top of, the kitchen," Gray says, ticking off their wish list. "We also wanted outdoor space off the kitchen where we could eat, wide steps that would spill into the yard, and that indoor-outdoor relationship that can get lost in old homes with big walls and small windows. We wanted to open it up."
From the outset, there were challenges. For one, the century-old house sits in a historic preservation district. De Leon and project manager David Mayo had to design a structure whose modern flair wouldn't clash with its surroundings, while also passing muster with Louisville's strict Historic Landmarks and Preservation Districts Commission.
De Leon and Mayo documented every structure within a six-block area, taking design cues from the lean-tos and semi-detached sheds found in many of the neighborhood's backyards. They proposed cladding the addition in fiber-cement lap siding and painting it dark forest green, a color commonly found on historic Kentucky plantation houses. "That was a way for us to make a case for the scale of the addition, the materials, and even the detailing to the landmarks board as a way to say, 'This is really in character with everything that's around this neighborhood,'" de Leon says.
Construction began in the spring of 2008—as Gray was about to have the couple's second son—and was completed in January 2009 for around $200,000. Gray, an avid cook desiring a new kitchen to bridge the old house and the new space, was forced to rough it in the interim. "We had a portable range and a big toaster oven," she says. "It was an adventure."
Outside, the dark shade of the addition complements the sage-green exterior of the existing house. Large windows let in ample natural light during the day and bathe the yard in artificial light at night. When the family has friends over, Gray and Kolehmainen project movies from a deck off the second floor onto the side of a detached carriage house, and everyone sits on the wide steps to watch. Today, they spend virtually all of their time in the new addition—that is, when they're not outside admiring it from the backyard.

As we reported earlier, former Wizards coach Dave Joerger is said to be the new Memphis Grizzlies head coach.
Joerger coached 9 seasons with the Dakota Wizards, 5 as head coach.
This call up for Joerger is the promotion he's been waiting for.
Tia Streeter-KX Sports: Ask anyone familiar with Dave Joerger, and the word they use to describe him, is driven. After growing up in Staples Minnesota, and attending college at Moorhead State, Joerger got his first major coaching job as an assistant with the Dakota Wizards in 1997. Former Wizards owner Bill Sorenson was there at the beginning.
Bill Sorenson-Former Wizards Owner: he cared about his players he cared about the organization he worked really hard we were concerned because he was so young that we might be doing him a disservice to him but he managed to have the respect of everyone from the very beginning, so its nice to see him get to where he is today
Jason Horner-Former roommate, Legacy High School Coach: I don't think when he first started out that he was that much different than he is now, he's open to new things and passionate about what he does and very knowledgeable and he's a workhorse.
Tia Streeter-KX Sports: Joerger was incredibly successful while in Bismarck, he won one IBA title, two CBA titles and a D League title. He also won a CBA championship with the Sioux Falls Skyforce. Joerger had 18 players called up to the NBA a big number which showed just how much talent he has for developing players. In 2007 the NBA called and he became an assistant for the Memphis Grizzlies.
Jason Horner-Former roommate, Legacy High School Coach: We talked about he wanted to be an NBA head coach and the one thing about that is we knew it was a long shot when you're in Bismarck and a coach for the Dakota Wizards but a guy like that I had no doubts that he was going to get there.
Bill Sorenson-Former Wizards Owner: That was his goal all along from the time that he was here that was his goal and so he's been driven and worked hard to get here so he's done it in a classy and proven himself all along and deserves to have this position.
Tia Streeter-KX Sports: Back in 2007, when Joerger joined the Grizzlies, he said it was tough to leave
Dave Joerger-File Video-2007:I didn't pick Bismarck, somehow God decided that I would get to spend a whole lot of years here I don't know why but I was very blessed to be here and I'll always consider myself a Wizard
Joerger can't comment to the media until the deal is signed and official.
SB Nation.com is reporting Joerger's deal to be three years at a little less than 2 million dollars a season.
The Grizzlies have yet to report the deal is final however.
Joerger will quickly jump into being the head coach, Thursday night in the NBA draft.
The Grizzlies have 3 second round picks.

Key Features
"The Community Service Project was well matched with my studies and a reason I chose SIT."
—Daniel Dominguez, St. Edward's University
Students in the France: Language, Community, and Social Change study abroad program explore the theme of cultural identity in today's diverse France as well as its contemporary cultural, political, and economic ties with its ex-colonies. Scholars, cultural-political, and ethnic community movement leaders, nonprofit organizations, performance artists, and local experts teach students through lectures and presentations while also guiding them in their fieldwork.
The France program has three main components:
- Orientation in Toulouse to familiarize students with the program's components and objectives, logistical issues, and health and safety issues
- Homestay in Toulouse and simultaneous courses at L'Institut Catholique de Toulouse (ICT) and the Community Service Project (CSP)
- Educational excursions designed to expose students to different regions and cultures within France and Tunisia
Each program component introduces students to different perspectives on cultural diversity and assimilation across a broad spectrum of communities.
Community Service Project (CSP)
The CSP is a field-based project, which provides students with an opportunity to critically examine a topic, community, or situation related to social change in France. Students are able to utilize SIT's broad network of individual and nonprofit organization contacts when working on their projects. Examples of projects include tutoring at a school in an immigrant neighborhood, participating in a community-based organic agriculture organization, volunteering in a local hip-hop arts group, supporting low-income or homeless individuals by working at food banks or reduced price groceries, and working at re-used and recycling organizations. A successful CSP expands language immersion and community involvement while giving back to the student's host community.
Read more about the Community Service Project focus areas and related project sites.
Students are based in Toulouse, France's fourth-largest city and home to a world-class arts and culture scene. During their 12-week homestay in Toulouse, students attend lectures at L'Institute Catholique de Toulouse or at nonprofit organizations on a variety of subjects related to social change in France, such as French colonization, postcolonization, immigrant urban culture, and French economic policy. Students also take part in activities designed to introduce them to the city's rich culture, such as seeing productions by the Toulouse National Theatre, joining meetings with poetry slam workshop participants, and attending a contemporary Occitan music concert.
Toulouse is an ideal setting for a rigorous and meaningful language immersion experience. The city is the second largest urban university area in France; however, the city center is small and accessible. Toulouse's student population encourages and promotes a lively arts and culture scene, helping to sponsor a wide array of events. Additionally, the city is ideally situated between the Pyrénées mountains and the Mediterranean, giving students access to beautiful wilderness and the sea.
Language Learning
Students are immersed in French language study through their intensive language classes, seminar courses, and interactions with host families and others in the community.
Formal course instruction is complemented with 10 hours of quotidian French or "Daily French." This experience allows students to get acquainted with "real" everyday French. Students learn how to use and recognize structures, intonations, onomatopoeia, and vocabulary that are indispensable to communicate in France on a daily basis. Students study such examples as the language used in rap songs by young immigrants or in political speeches as a strategy to reach constituents.

Retro City Rampage creator breaks down his sales on each major platform
It's rare to see someone take you through how many copies of a game they sold on each of the major platforms, but Retro City Rampage creator Brian Provinciano did just that at the Game Developers Conference.
There are no major surprises here, although Steam's supremacy over Xbox Live Arcade seems to be continuing without much resistance, but it's still neat to see how all the services stacked up. It's no small feat to get a small game on this many storefronts, and some them barely seemed like they were worth the effort based on sales, but Provinciano seemed happy to make the fans happy by supporting their favorite platforms, and that's a great long-term strategy.
97,000 copies of a game is a great success for a title of this scope. It's neat to see this information, and I'd love for more developers to be just as transparent.

vacation rental description
Book Mandarin Grace for a fantastic beach vacation for your entire family and look forward to lazy days and classic games in a brand new house for up to 16. Spend idyllic family time on two ocean-front decks and around the private, heated pool with everyone – at long last – all in one (exquisite) place.
With 16 guests come lots of requirements, and Mandarin Grace makes choosing the right vacation home easier than ever: it has a brand new elevator! You can make sure grandma and grandpa will enjoy not only time in the Jacuzzi but in their 3rd floor ocean-view bedroom as well. Whether transporting luggage, strollers or groceries, it's an effortless trip from the car to your second-floor kitchen.
Within the gated community, you'll arrive at Mandarin Grace to find a newly paved private drive set in a lush lawn. It leads to large garages, which are a perfect place to park your cars and forget about them. Your journey has finished and it's time for vacation!
On three floors, right on the beach, Mandarin Grace has tons of outdoor space for every sort of individual itinerary and group celebration. The main gathering spot is bound to be the new, heated pool in a very private backyard. Surrounded on all sides by a paved deck, you might spend an afternoon playing in the pool, soaking in the Jacuzzi and reading in the pool's shallow lounge area. Prefer shade? An extra-wide overhang makes a cool spot for the outdoor living room, with a large gas grill waiting patiently until lunch or dinnertime.
As though answering every relaxation requirement, the pool deck leads directly into the games room where a pool table and wet bar keep everyone happy and (finally!) off Facebook. As dinner, then dessert, segues to nighttime, you can step inside to the first floor theater room and watch another family favorite every night.
Too much swimming or playing on the beach? Take the elevator upstairs to the second floor main living area. Indoors, Mandarin Grace has a massive 4,800 square feet, so it's easy to imagine that everyone will have more than enough personal space.
The main living area is open plan, with a more formal living room for entertaining, and a grand dining room and brand new kitchen. To maximize your ocean views, keep the sliding doors open. These lead out to a huge veranda which looks straight out to sea and keeps you part of the action around the pool deck, below. An outside dining table gives you three main floor choices of meal venue: at the breakfast bar, the handsome dining table or outside – at eye level with the ocean horizon.
Up another floor, whether by stairs or elevator, is the master suite and other guest bedrooms. Much like a high-end hotel suite, your master bedroom has not only a king-sized bed but also a private sitting room, an en suite master bath and its own balcony access. You can step straight outside to watch the sunrise. In total, three of Mandarin Grace's seven bedrooms have their own ocean-front balconies. (Who's been nice to you this year?)
The first and second floors each host two more bedrooms, all of which have new beds as comfy as can be. Whether your guests would be happiest sleeping near the late-night games room or on the same floor as the kitchen for easy midnight snacks, Mandarin Grace has an ideal layout for a large, busy group. Every bedroom has its own HDTV (in addition to those downstairs and in the theater room).
If you're feeling spoiled at Mandarin Grace, but perhaps a bit hungry, announce yourself in the brand new kitchen and get cracking. There are two of every appliance! Marble counters and a professional range hood set the scene for your own cooking show. Here, you can cook a full holiday meal for 16, no problem. All cookware, crucial small appliances and kitchen utensils are provided.
As for extras and amenities, Mandarin Grace is built on the finer things. Throughout, Travertine floors mean good news for happy feet. With private beach access so close you can all but live barefoot.

I think the Cover 2 (or tampa 2) is a little more exposed then it used to be. I think OC's have learned how to beat it..
Rice should be on that show dancing with Jerry Springer.The whole D has lost it. Broken tackles, no real sacks, no turnovers other than the apple turnovers in Booger's locker. All they managed to do today was get in the way every now and then.The days of the D carrying this team are over. Gradkowski will have to play even better than he did if they are going to win anything. The draft looks promising.
I started this SAME thread last week and got absolutely FLAMED by 99% of youThanks, guys.
Also, has anyone seen Booger's face on a milk carton lately?
Love him or hate him it was the fatboy with the #99 jersey who made this defense work. Booger was to be his replacement when he was no longer able to produce. He has had his time, but I think next season it is time to move on.
