Jeanne Cooney
Author Jeanne Cooney was raised in the Red River Valley of northwestern Minnesota, the region featured in her humorous Hot Dish Heaven mystery series.
Cub reporter Emerald Malloy is assigned to gather "church food" recipes from the owner of Hot Dish Heaven, a café in a small town in the Red River Valley. Upon her arrival, she learns of a local, unsolved murder. Confident that solving the case will catapult her from newspaper "gopher" to investigative reporter, she questions the locals while attending a benefit dinner-dance at the VFW. By the end of the night, she's consumed lots of hotdish and bars while talking to everyone from the Irish Catholic priest who lives among these Scandinavian Lutheran farmers to the café owner's eccentric aunts. She's also met a hunky deputy sheriff and learned some tough lessons about herself. But the question remains, "Will she live long enough for any of it to matter?"
The first book of a new cozy mystery series, this book is a delicious culinary mystery, complete with recipes for hot dish, bars and Jell-O salads. It serves up nicely as a contemporary romance and "pretty darn good" humorous mystery about life in rural Minnesota. Published by North Star Press of Saint Cloud.
Check out an interview with Jeanne Cooney by the North Star Press.

Management 3010: An Introduction to Global Entrepreneurship
Location: Shanghai and Beijing, China
Dates: May 19 - June 2, 2015; class sessions during Spring B term - T/Th 3:45 - 5:25PM
Term: Spring 2–8 weeks
Objective: This course will provide a survey, introduction, and overview of the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. It is based on a growing and now extensive body of conceptual and empirical knowledge about entrepreneurship at the individual, organizational, and industrial levels. China is the world's fastest growing economy and increasingly connected to the United States. Through case materials, guest speakers, and site visits, students will better understand how entrepreneurs are dealing with the opportunities and threats related to China.
Program Benefits: The benefits to students participating in this program may include:
This program is open to University undergraduate students in good academic standing, with a minimum GPA of 2.5 at the time of application. The application process is competitive, and space is limited. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
Shanghai is the single largest market in China. The city receives billions of dollars of direct foreign investment and is home to hundreds of Fortune Global 500 companies. As living standards and GDP increase, businesses are evaluating how they can establish themselves competitively in this market. Evidence of this economic transformation can be seen in the city's modern architecture, renovated historical districts, and green spaces. Shanghai was host to the 2010 World Expo.
Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China and is the country's second-largest city. A center of culture, arts, and history, the city hosted the 2008 Olympic Games. Beijing has a rapidly growing population drawn by the expanding business, manufacturing, and trade sectors. The newest trends in development are juxtaposed historical and ancient sites such as the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Temple of Heaven, and the Great Wall of China.
The first week in China students will have company visits and hold discussions with entrepreneurs in Shanghai. Over the weekend students will have a free day for independent exploration and an opportunity to experience the business of one of the entrepreneurs they visit on a bike tour outside the city of Shanghai. During the second week, students will be in Beijing where they will have company visits and spend a day on the campus of our partner, Tsinghua University. A city tour of Shanghai and Beijing is included, along with an excursion to the Great Wall. The program ends in Beijing with a Peking Duck dinner.
Students are housed at a conveniently-located hotel in each city. Students will share a room with one or two classmates of their same gender. Because networking and community-building are key parts of the program, students will not have the option of a single room. Guests are not permitted during the program. Breakfast daily, a welcome dinner, and a closing dinner are provided.
These estimates will vary based on student preference and exchange rates. All details subject to change based on economic and international factors. Most financial aid may be applied to study abroad programs.
|2013-2014 Tuition for 4 academic credits (included in the 13+ credit tuition plateau)
|Program Fee (including group flight, lodging, program events, Chinese tourist visa, breakfast daily, two group meals, and int'l health insurance*)

|Hotel Accommodation (included in Program Fee)
|Daily Living Expenses (local transportation, incidentals, internet, laundry, etc)
|Meals (lunch and dinners not included in Program Fee)
*Students should also maintain their U.S.-based health insurance plan while abroad.
Most financial aid may be applied to study abroad. University of Minnesota students are eligible for education abroad scholarships. See Costs & Billing for additional information on financial aid and scholarships.
Carlson students accepted into Management 3010 will be invited to apply for the Jeanne Voigt Foundation Scholarship for Study Abroad in Emerging Economies.

While it's estimated that more than 95 percent of cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital, death from sudden cardiac arrest is not inevitable.
Survivors of sudden cardiac arrest may face a variety of complex medical issues known as Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS):
All of these conditions must be monitored, treated and managed by the survivor's healthcare team.
The treatment plan for Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome varies from patient to patient depending on their level of consciousness and other factors. Likewise, several variables impact the prognosis for cardiac arrest survivors.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are scientific studies that determine if a possible new medical advance can help people and whether it has harmful side effects. Find answers to common questions about clinical trials in our Guide to Understanding Clinical Trials.

I spent the last three evenings watching baseball in Denver, and have concluded two things ...
First, Mike Stanton is a seriously powerful human being. Monday night, Stanton hit one 474 feet, the third longest in the majors this season. Tuesday night, he hit one 433 feet. Wednesday night, he hit one 466 feet. When this man hits them, they stay hit.
Stanton might never hit for a high enough batting average to rank as a truly brilliant hitter; he still strikes out a lot, and doesn't walk much. But the kid's 21. Maybe we should cut him a little slack.
And second, Coors Field is the greatest baseball stadium built in the last 50 years.
Granted, I haven't been to all of them. I haven't been to either of the new ballparks in New York, or the new ballparks in Minneapolis or San Diego or Philadelphia or Detroit or Washington. But I've read the reviews of all of those, and I've seen them on TV innumerable times. It's certainly possible that I've missed something important, but I have a tough time ciphering how one of those yards can match the Rockies' home.
I'm not going to list all of Coors Field's positives, but here are some bullet points for you (without any bullets because bullets are scary):
Coors is integrated brilliantly into the neighborhood, both architecturally and culturally. This is one of the few cases where a ballpark actually did revitalize an urban area. Plus, The Tattered Cover -- one of America's great bookstores -- and gorgeous Union Station are both just a few blocks away. Confluence Park is nearby, too.
Coors is constructed in a way that allows you to see the field from almost anywhere as you walk around the main concourse. There are other stadiums with the same views -- Safeco Field, to name just one -- but too many of the newer parks didn't get this incredibly simple thing right, which means you wind up standing in lines and watching the game on a monitor.
With the upper deck beyond right field supported by major beams cutting through the lower deck, you get that old-time feel of places like Tiger Stadium and various other now-gone yards. You get the same thing in Arlington, except there all the old-timey touches are so polyglot that they feel artificial, grafted on merely for effect. Coors' upper deck looks completely at home.
And speaking of the upper deck, the purple row of seats -- which is exactly a mile high -- in the upper deck was a brilliant stroke of genius and whoever thought of that should be nominated for baseball sainthood. There's a miniature forest beyond the outfield fence, running from right-center to straightaway center. The batter's eye is covered in ivy.
Along one exterior wall is a really cool neon animation; near an entrance on the other side of the ballpark is a gateway with 108 tiles depicting the evolution of the ball. Ringing the ballpark's exterior facade, so subtle that you have to look for them, are terra cotta tiles with a design of the columbine, Colorado's state flower. They're lovely.
The between-innings music is too loud, and Coors Field does lose a few points for that. But the in-stadium advertising is less obtrusive than in most other ballparks.
Oh, and the sky that blankets Denver is, in my experience -- and I've spent a fair amount of time here -- among the most dramatic in the major leagues, night in and night out (even leaving aside the mountains, which can't be seen from most of the seats in the ballpark).
I'm no connoisseur of ballpark food, but Wednesday night I sampled what I quickly realized is probably the most guiltily delicious item that one will find in a ballpark: the Tornadough. I'm going to have to skip two meals today, but it was worth it.
There are certainly other candidates for the title of Best Relatively New Ballpark, and I'm willing to reserve my judgment until I've visited Target Field. But if you're making a list of all the things a modern baseball stadium should do, I'm fairly sure that Coors Field is going to hit more of those things than any other.

As a guidance counselor, Notaro hopes to serve students and lead change in mental health care
Thursday, May 30, 2013
The Wolfard award is given to a senior undergraduate liberal arts student who has excelled in intellectual engagement, community leadership and civic engagement.
The North Haven, Connecticut native recently earned her Counseling degree from Lesley with a minor in Art Therapy and a specialization in Holistic Psychology.
"Being a leader in the 21st century means that I will need to be educated, trustworthy and have excellent communications skills. Our current economic and political climate calls for students to take on leadership roles. As a student of the helping professions, I hope that I can affect change on the micro level, by providing direct service to students, and secondly, on the macro level, by affecting change within our school systems and helping future generations to take on leadership roles."
21st century leader
"As a leader in the 21st century, it will be my job to holistically view the complicated policy issues—especially regarding our broken mental health care system—facing our country so as to work to find solutions that address the whole problem rather than suspend fractions of the consequences."
Earning a Master's at Lesley
"My career goals are to work in a middle or high school as a guidance counselor. I also hope to get my Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensure so that I can work in the community as well. I am currently in the Dual Degree program in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program with a School and Community specialization (Guidance, 5-12). By earning my Master's Degree at Lesley, I will not only be eligible for licensure, but I will have learned the skills I need to work effectively with both students and other members of the community."
The Edith Lesley Wolfard Award is named for the founder of Lesley University, and the recipient is chosen by a vote of Lesley's College of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies faculty and administrators. This award is given to a graduating senior who exhibits a commitment to lifelong learning, professional excellence, and the promise of a future best exemplifying Lesley's ideals.

A 19-year-old man facing charges in a suspicious house fire and the death of a 13-year-old girl says the girl told him she no longer wanted to live. The details were included in documents released Monday by Maricopa County Superior Court. Tashawn Treyvon Cheatham was booked Saturday on charges of first-degree murder, arson and theft. The charges stem from last week's fire at Briana Naylor's home. Firefighters found the girl with burns on her arms and legs in a bedroom hours after her mother had reported her as a runaway. The documents show Cheatham told police Naylor had asked him to kill her and then wrapped a sheet around her neck. She allegedly held onto one end while he pulled the other.
Cheatham is also accused of stealing and selling the family dog. Police are asking for the public's help in finding the dog, named Marilyn.

Our Obsesssion with Efficiency
Dan North doesn't believe in efficiency -- it's our obsession with efficiency that has got us into the current technology mess, and which has led almost directly to heavy waterfall processes. Dan believes that efficiency is how you let the big vendors sell their bloated technologies to the poor CIOs.
In this presentation, recorded at Øredev 2009, Dan North explores the notion of 'efficiency,' its evolution in modern systems thinking and provides a very important disctinction between efficiency and effectiveness. Within the context of agile software development, pair programming, cross-functional teams, and even experimentation may not necessarily be efficient, but they could mean the difference between project failure and project success.
About the Presenter
Dan has been writing software for over 15 years, and is a
principal consultant with technology consultancy ThoughtWorks. He
spends his time helping teams become more effective at delivering
software, and presents at conferences such as JAOO, Agile and OOPSLA on
topics ranging from learning theory to behaviour-driven development. He
has published articles in the Java Developers' Journal and Better
Software, and for CIO newsletters and the DSDM consortium.

Welcome to
The Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche's Schools for Himalayan Children - Main and Branch Schools
What's New at SMD Schools
|ON-GOING EDUCATION: BRIINGING IT BACK TO THE HIMALAYAS- Stories about SMDers Tsewang Choden B330 and Pur Yudon B338 who are teaching in Lhi village written by Daniel Haran and Jane Marshall. Here's something from Daniel's account "It's a long and dangerous route up the Nubri Valley. Today one of the hostel teachers told me of surviving a bus accident on his way back; 6 people on board died. Tsewang Choden B330 is going back to Lhi tomorrow, taking that very same route."
|KID'S CORNER: Interviews with Tenzin Lhamo n170, Bikash Lama D501, Tenzin Lhazom B364a - Three of our grade 8 and 9 kids answer questions about: where they are from, when they came to SMD, what their favorite subjects are, what they like about SMD and their dreams for the future.
|ON-GOING EDUCATION: SMDers Teaching in Lhi - At Thrangu Rinpoche's urging, and with the help of friends in Canada who raised a fund called Himalayan Teachers Project, we are helping SMDers finish high school and do an undergraduate degree so they can teach. HTP has been ticking along nicely and we're on our third set of Reading Angels sent up into the Himalayas. In the last year or so, we've hooked up with a group called Hope Alliance (HA). They're enlarging the school in Lhi up to Class 6 and with community support, are building a hostel so kids can board.
|ON-GOING EDUCATION: Pasang Lhamo B017 and the Lho Village School- Pasang Lhamo B017 finished Class 10 in spring 2012. SMD is extremely crowded and to Pasang's keen disappointment, she was not selected to stay with us as a "Senior". She decided to return to her village in Gorkha district to give service for a year. Lama Sonam Dorje Rinpoche (who is also from Lho village) was instrumental in shaping Pasang's decision. Although the school building isn't finished yet, Pasang decided to teach the children and the villagers about hygiene.
|SCHOOL LIFE: Kids Open Canteen to Inspire Acts of Kindness- SMD kids have opened a school canteen. Kids do the sales, stock inventory, manage the token system (teaching all the school to practice acts of kindness) all by themselves. We use plastic tokens, which children can earn for unsolicited acts of kindness (bodhicitta...helping others, as the Buddha taught). This system also teaches children who come from cashless villages how a monetary system works.
|ON-GOING EDUCATION - Hope Alliance Work Experience Project: SMD has been working with an Australian NGO for the past few years. Jodi and Phil have brought their original musical s' Plat to SMD where the kids learned how to put on the production. Jodi and Phil who founded Hope Alliance have also gone into the Himalayas to see what the needs are there. Hope Alliance has also been mentoring SMDers. In April, several kids and Pema Norbu flew to Australia for a work experience programme. Here's their report.
|ON-GOING EDUCATION - Scholarship Winners: We stories about some of our scholarship winners including:Dawa Pashi Sherpa in the the third year of Bachelor's program at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri on a full Davis Scholarship, Tsewang Bhuti who is studying for a Master of Education at St Lawrence University in NY, Tashi Wangmo Sherpa who is studying Sociology and Criminology at King's College at the University of Western Ontario, Nangsal Lhamo Lama who is in her second year at Quest University in Squamish BC, Sonam Dolma Sherpa who just graduated with a Bachelor's degree from College of Idaho,
|HOW YOU CAN HELP: Nepal to You is an online shopping site which sells handicrafts and goods that are made in Nepal by Nepali locals. It is an initiative of Hope Alliance. (Hope alliance is a 'not for profit' incorporated association based in Australia). Nepal to You gives opportunities to Nepali locals and the profit from goes to developing and supporting educational opportunities for Himalayan children in Lhi Village, Nubri, in Gorkha district.
|ON-GOING EDUCATION - Scholarship Winners: We have stories about more of our scholarship winners including: Sangmo Sherpa who is currently in Portugal doing theInternational Baccalaureate program (IB) at St. Julian's School, Dechen Dolma Lama who is in Zurich at the Inter-community School also doing the International Baccalaureate program (IB), Pur Tenzin Sherpa who is studying Electronic Engineering at Simon Fraser University, Dawa Dolma who is working at Fulton State Hospital (Mental hospital) in Missouri State, Pema Chodron who completed her IB Diploma in 2012 and got a scholarship at Luther College which is in Iowa state, Decorah city
|SCHOOL LIFE - SMD kids clean up on World Environment Day: A selection of photos of SMD kids including the Eco Club in action.
|ON-GOING EDUCATION - Scholarship Winners Lhakpa Dolma: My name is Lhakpa Dolma. I graduated from Shree Mangal Dvip School (SMD) in 2010 and stayed on a year gap volunteering and then I got a scholarship in Melbourne, Australia at Ivanhoe Grammar School, one the best schools in Victoria. I am now in Year 11 doing IB International Baccalaureate which is quite a challenging course.
|ON-GOING EDUCATION - Scholarship Winners Karma Choying Gurung: As for my studies, the second semester of my 3rd term is over. I got my grades, 3.7 out of 4.0 GPA. Right now, I am taking a summer course, plant taxonomy. It is a very fun class: we get to go out of class and learn about the richness of plant diversity here in Missouri. Dr. Mike Amspoker who is my professor is truly an inspirational person, a scientist. He is also the discoverer of a new species called Nephroneis macintirei Amspoker. Above all, the best thing about him is that he is a nice person.
This website is divided into six sections, in order to help you navigate, brief summaries and links are provided immediately below.
In 1987, Thrangu Rinpoche founded SMD Boarding School near the Great Stupa in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal to serve the needs of children from the Himalayas where there are no schools. In 2002, Rinpoche opened SMD Branch School for Monks to relieve crowding at the main school. To learn more...
Rinpoche's long-term aim is to preserve the culture, language and the Buddhist way of life of the Himalayas, and to give Himalayan children the tools to build a better future, so they can help their own people when they grow up. To learn more...
For the 11 years, SMD has scored a 100% pass rate in national Class 10 School Leaving Certifcate (SLC) exams. This year the national pass rate was 55.5%; SMDers eclipsed that! To learn more...
Thrangu Rinpoche's schools serve the needs of children who come from the far north of Nepal. The areas these kids come from are high altitude, and subject to climate extremes. In Himalayan villages, there are no roads, no electricity, no telecommunication, no running water, no sanitation, no health care and no schools. To learn more...

Based on a long-term study of the policies of seven European nations towards lone mothers, Lone Mothers in European Welfare Regimes reveals the contrasting attitudes in Europe today towards lone motherhood. The contributors examine the specific categorisation and treatment of lone mothers as well as the problems created, in terms of government policy, by the obvious conflict in the parent-worker role. Other topics, such as possible marginalisation and the queston of whether the problems that face lone mothers are unique or simply a by-product of wider social problems, are also discussed.

The Houston Texans and New England Patriots are set to play on Sunday, in a rematch of a regular season game that was as decisive as you can get in the NFL. The Patriots dominated the Texans the first time around, with Tom Brady falling just short of 300 yards (with 296) but boasting four touchdowns to his credit.
New England took that matchup by a score of 42-14 on Monday Night Football, and now they're coming off a bye week, with plenty of preparation to repeat their performance.
They're heavily favored, and if the picks around the Internet are anything to go by, the Patriots will be playing in the AFC Championship Game. CBS Sports had their experts pick the game, with guys like Jason La Canfora, Pete Prisco and Clark Judge making picks, along with five others (plus their "prediction machine"). All eight experts ended up picking the Patriots to win.
Yahoo's three experts in Mike Silver, Jason Cole and Les Carpenter also all picked the Patriots, as are the majority of Yahoo users.
Lastly, we come to Joel Thorman's picks over at SB Nation. Thorman expresses his desire for the Texans to walk away as the victors, but he doesn't take them to win it. He thinks the Patriots will win by more than two touchdowns on Sunday, picking them to take it all, 35-20.

Lawmakers question Shumlin school tax planBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | March 15,2014MONTPELIER Members of the tax-writing committee in the Vermont House expressed frustration Friday with the administration of Gov. Peter Shumlin over school property taxes.
Shumlin this week vowed to reduce what earlier had been projected as a 7-cent increase in the statewide residential school property tax rate. But Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson did not provide definitive answers on the governors ideas when facing questions Friday from the House Ways and Means Committee.
There has been widespread consternation in the Legislature and among the public about school taxes increasing sharply at a time of decreasing student enrollments. Vermont has a complex school funding system in which a statewide property tax supports a basic level of school spending, with many local school districts adding their own levies to pay for higher spending.
There are a bunch of levers, Peterson said, referring to the tax formula.
She said the administration was concerned about a proposed jump in the tax rate on commercial and vacation properties. A committee proposal would raise it 8 cents per $100 of value, to $1.52.
The residential rate, which Vermont homeowners pay on a house and up to two acres, would climb 5 cents under the committees plan, to 99 cents per $100 of value. Thats down 2 cents from earlier estimates.
Peterson declined to be specific about what rate the administration might prefer or about other changes the governor might seek as the bill moves to the Senate.
Its a conversation and we know that this conversation goes generally to the end of the session, Peterson said.
The Legislature is expected to adjourn in May.
The state Constitution calls for financial bills to start in the House, and the Ways and Means Committee usually plays a key role in setting tax policy.
Were sort of less satisfied with the idea that were one step in the process and its going to look very different at the end, said the committee chairwoman, Rep. Janet Ancel, D-Calais. Wed actually like to have your best thinking right this minute.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding later defended the administrations current stance.
While the House is considering something with a lot of pieces in it and before their deliberations and floor action, it really wouldnt be wise for us to start picking the package apart, he said.
The House Ways and Means Committee worked through a list of proposed adjustments to the existing school funding system Friday, and is expected to wrap up its work on a bill next week. Among the changes:
Income sensitivity. The state allows homeowners to adjust their property taxes within limits to account for income. That benefit tapers off for household incomes above $90,000, with no benefit above $102,000. Committee members said they likely would extend the upper amount to $120,000 to extend tax relief to more middle-income households.
The maximum tax savings from income sensitivity would be reduced from $8,000 to $6,000. Committee members said that would reduce the instances in which state aid goes to people who report low incomes but live in expensive homes.
Committee members also were debating an adjustment to a provision in the law that penalizes towns spending more than 21 percent above the statewide average per pupil.MORE IN Vermont NewsNORTHFIELD Officials at Norwich University are set to celebrate a museum on its Northfield...

|Civility through dialogue
The late A. Bartlett Giamatti, former Commissioner of Major League Baseball and former President of Yale University, said, "Civility is the core of civilization." Given the cynicism and polarization that appears all too common today, one wonders if we've collectively lost our core.
It seems that the dearth of civility in our society typically occurs in emotionally charged arenas like politics, social issues, or religion. People feel so exceedingly passionate about these issues that they often lose any semblance of objectivity. Instead of being open to other points of view they seek reinforcement of their own ideals and are intolerant of dissent. This resistance to understanding maintains ignorance, heightens intolerance, and greatly contributes to incivility.

Robbie Martin to lead Wintersville council
January 4, 2013
WINTERSVILLE — A new year brings a new leader to village council. Robbie Martin was elected unanimously to take over the reins as council president for 2013 during Thursday night's meeting....
I just wanted to state that this is so disgusting. I live in a small town in Northern Nevada and read about this online. I think it is one of the most vile things and that fact that the community is torn between the boys and the girls is outrageous. What is there to be torn about? All of you should be standing by this young woman and letting these so called upstanding young athletes know that this should not be tolerated! Period! I cannot believe this young girl is having to go through this and the humiliation she must be feeling. I am here to say that this would not be tolerated in our home town and they would not be rewarded for their actions here. I am saddened and appauled by what these young men are representing. Shame on them all.

Third graders read excepts from the story, Thank You, Mr. Falker in order to gain practice in understanding an unfamiliar story by focusing on the details. They use a worksheet, embedded in the plan, which directs them to certain passages in the book. They go back and re-read them, then complete two worksheets for homework. The first one has them describe the character, setting, motivation, problem, and resolution of the story. The second has them write an essay in which they compose a paragraph that describes what the instructional activity of the story is - in their minds. An interesting, and thought-provoking language arts instructional activity!
How to tap into students' social networking experiences to enhance learning in the language arts classroom.
Recognize National Arts and Crafts Month with language arts project ideas to inspire creative learning.
Third graders practice the skills of identifying the main message in a story, describing the main character, and sorting the key details of a story into specific categories. The story they read is, The Boy Who Loved Words. Using a guiding worksheet embedded in the plan, pupils read specific excerpts from the book, then get together as a class to discuss their meaning. They also discuss the main message found in the book, and brainstorm the things they can all learn from the book. An intelligent, and thoughtful language arts lesson plan.
Students can benefit when teachers infuse technology training into language arts lesson plans.
For this language arts review worksheet, students complete 6 general review questions pertaining to alphabetical order, vowel sounds, analogies and proofreading and correcting errors.
In this language arts practice worksheet, students edit sentences, write homophones, complete analogies and label a noun as common or proper. Answers included.
As 3rd graders continue reading Bullfrog at Magnolia Circle, they focus on the concepts of predator and prey in the fifth lesson of this unit. Scholars further develop their ability to answer questions using evidence from the text as they look at the relationship between the bullfrog and other animals in its habitat. To better understand their reading, students focus on identifying vivid language used in the book and the author's reason for choosing these unique words and phrases. Children practice using context clues to find meaning in unfamiliar vocabulary from their reading, and work in groups to act out the new words for the class. A great differentiated lesson that supports all learners as they continue to read and form understanding of this informational text.
In a two-part lesson, fourth graders are first assessed on their ability to produce an explanatory paragraph and then participate in a gallery walk, presenting their final constitution paragraphs to their peers. To start, learners write a paragraph explaining how their class constitution solves one of several issues described in a bar graph about bullying. Next, a gallery walk is held in which the class reads and posts comments on each others' writing. As a conclusion to the unit, the lesson nicely summarizes and celebrates the development students have made as young writers.
Your class reaches the end of the novel Eagle Song as young readers focus on determining the theme of this story. Similar to previous lessons in the unit, the teacher begins with a read aloud of the first few pages of chapter 8, before asking students to finish the chapter independently. The class is then reintroduced to the "Somebody In Wanted But So" reading comprehension strategy learned earlier in the unit, using it as a guide for identifying different themes in the novel. Significant teacher support is required during this discussion, as pupils are encouraged to move beyond summarizing the text toward understanding the different lessons it teaches. Children finally work in groups to support each theme with details from the book. A well-rounded lesson that nicely concludes your class's reading of Eagle Song.
A new close reading approach is introduced as learners continue with the novel Eagle Song in the twelfth lesson of this unit. This reading comprehension strategy focuses on identifying the character, setting, motivation, problem, and resolution in a text. The teacher first exposes the class to this strategy in a guided practice rereading of the Iroquois Constitution, originally covered in the previous unit. Using a graphic organizer, the class identifies the the specific elements of the writing in order to better understand its meaning. Young scholars then work independently, rereading specific sections of Eagle Song as they practice using this new technique. Though the lesson is specifically designed for this novel, the reading strategy it teaches can be applied to any text.
Fourth graders continue reading and discussing Eagle Song in the thirteenth lesson of a literature unit. Starting with small group discussions about different aspects of Native American culture, readers analyze the beliefs held by characters in the story. The teacher then reads aloud the first two pages of chapter 4 as the class works together answering text-dependent questions, being sure to cite specific evidence to supports their ideas. Time for independent reading follows as learners use sticky notes to locate details addressing the remaining questions, before finally working in groups to discuss their answers. A lesson that continues to develop students' ability to provide evidence from a book when discussing their reading.
While continuing to read the book Eagle Song, your class learns to cite specific details when answering questions and to use context clues when encountering unknown words. Students begin by listening as the teacher reads aloud the first pages of chapter 2, before working in small groups to answer text-dependent questions using sticky notes to locate supporting evidence in the book. Next, the teacher models the process of using context clues to define new vocabulary, focusing on the words before and after the unfamiliar term to deduce its meaning. Learners then continue to read the chapter independently, identifying supporting details for the remainder of the text-dependent questions, finally discussing the answers with their group. An excellent lesson plan that teaches young readers to support their answers to reading comprehension questions with evidence from the text.
Fourth graders gain experience comparing multiple versions of a story as they continue reading the book Eagle Song. After first revisiting the article "The (Really) Great Law of Peace" from the previous unit, the class independently reads chapter 3, using sticky notes to identify specific details showing similarities and differences between the two pieces of writing. Learners then work in small groups to take notes on sentence strips as they create large Venn diagrams comparing the two texts. A cross-curricular lesson that supports students in connecting their prior learning about Iroquois culture with the reading of this novel.
Fourth graders view examples of help-wanted ads as they plan and create their own writing in the fourteenth lesson of this unit on colonial trade. The engagement of the class is captured when the teacher shares an actual help-wanted ad for an apprentice printed during colonial times. Learners then analyze a piece of included sample writing as they form a clear understanding of the expectations for their work. Next, young scholars plan their writing using previous research and a graphic organizer before finally writing their own help-wanted ad. A lesson that engages and supports students as they pull together all the research and work they have done in this unit to create a piece of original writing.
As they continue to read Eagle Song, learners further develop their reading comprehension skills while working collaboratively with their peers. Following a similar format to previous lessons in this unit, the teacher reads aloud the first few pages of chapter 5 while students work in groups to answer text-dependent questions, supporting their responses with specific examples from the book. Young readers then work independently moving through the rest of the chapter, identifying other significant details in the story as they read. Children then return to their groups to discuss the remaining questions for the chapter, sharing the different supporting details they were able to find. Please note that this unit does not include a lesson for chapter 6 as it involves gang-related issues. It suggests that you either skip the chapter or cover it as a whole-class read aloud and discussion.
"I love it when a plan comes together." Building on the previous lesson in this unit, young writers use their graphic organizers to create a draft of their constitution explanatory paragraphs. The teacher models this process for the class, demonstrating how ideas are transformed from an outline into an organized piece of writing. Throughout this process, learners discuss with one another the steps being taken, reinforcing their understanding before working independently to produce their own writing. To conclude, the class pairs up to share their work, writing a compliment about each other's paragraph on an index card as their exit ticket. A great resource that clearly models the process of planning and drafting a piece of explanatory writing.
Building on the previous lesson in this unit on colonial trade, the ninth lesson has young experts continuing their research and writing summaries of the information they find. To begin, children participate in guided practice where they read and summarize an informational text as a whole class, learning to focus on the question words who, what, where, when, and why. Learners then break into expert groups to reread their informational texts, while continuing to take notes and discuss their findings. The lesson concludes with the young researchers writing a summary of their colonial trade, citing specific evidence from their reading. An excellent resource that supports in using research to create a summary of informational text.
Third graders work to determine the main idea, recall key details, and answer questions using an informational text on the topic of animal adaptations. Using the non-fiction text "Staying Alive: Animal Adaptations" (provided) the teacher will read the story aloud modeling fluent reading while the class follows along. Next, independently learners will re-read the story on their own using the close reading routine they worked on in a previous unit. During this process, learners will write down notes and vocabulary from the text to capture the gist of the text and compare their notes with a partner. To help capture the main idea and details from the text, readers will be guided to fill out a recording form (given). This lesson and the corresponding unit provide an organized & structured format to teach the concept of reading for information, comprehending what is read, and answering questions about a text providing supporting details. With the text and recording sheet included, it makes this lesson very easy to implement.
Utilizing writing applications in the language arts classroom to help pupils begin and develop their writing.

Given that my husband has one wife, which statement below is correct:
....especially your choice of wife.
...especially your choice of wives.
I need to settle this with him
If a man has more than one wife, he could have his choice of wives, but if he has only one wife that option is not available.
If looking bacl of a series of marriages, like Elizabeth Taylor, you could use the plural, but otherwise, bigamists and polygamists aside, I'd go far 'wife'.
Let me try again.
If a man has one wife there is no choosing involved. If he has more than one wife, then he may very well be able to choose which wife he wants. Or, to put it another way, he may have his choice of any of his wives. I don't think I would use either choice of wife or choice of wives, but the second one does come closer to what I would actually say.
Your husband may well have had a choice of suitors before he married you, which is where the plural would be OK, but since then, his choice was for one wife.
He chose to have one wife rather than two or more?Originally Posted by tdol

Rob Cox Daily News
Greensburg Daily News
---- — GREENSBURG – On Monday morning, Decatur County Highway Superintendent Mark Mohr opened the regular meeting of the Decatur County Commissioners with a report on the progress of bridge 18.
According to Mohr's report, the bridge's deck is currently being poured. Work on the structure, which is located on County Road 400 West over the Flatrock River, should be completed sometime in late August.
Meanwhile, a public meeting related to the replacement of Bridge 2 will be held in July. That bridge, according to County Commissioners President Rick Nobbe, is located "along 421 as you're leaving town, going past High Point Orchard."
Also on Monday, EMA Director Rob Duckworth reported to the commissioners regarding state reimbursement for employee salaries. In an interview last month, Duckworth told the Daily News that the state offers up to 50 percent salary reimbursement for EMA employees, provided a number of benchmarks are met.
Among those requirements is a completed Comprehensive Emergency Plan (CEMP). Eligible EMA employees, according to Duckworth, must also complete a number of online courses through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
The Decatur County EMA, Duckworth reported, is on target for both his salary and the salary of assistant Decatur County EMA Director Peggy Brown to be reimbursed the full 50 percent from the state.
Duckworth also reported on the EMA's recently-purchased Mobile Emergency Response Vehicle. The purchase of the vehicle was finalized in May from the Greensburg-Decatur County Public Library, where it was purchased new in 1996 and used as the facility's bookmobile.
The Decatur County EMA has arranged to for the vehicle to be painted by Enneking Body Shop in Batesville. Duckworth anticipates the vehicle being deployed into service by mid-July.
"I don't think it'll be ready by the beginning of the Decatur County Fair," he said, "but I anticipate having it in service by the middle of the Fair. At latest, it'll be ready by the end of July."
The next regular meeting of the Decatur County Commissioners will be at 8 a.m., July 15, at the Decatur County Courthouse.

SEAFORD, N.Y. (AP) - A New York school has grief counselors on hand following the death of a student during a band trip to Los Angeles.
Fifteen-year-old Seaford High School sophomore Joseph Tutaj died Tuesday. He had been hospitalized with a high fever.
Robert Tutaj says his son had been very supportive of his loved ones during their struggles.
Newsday says Joseph's father is battling cancer. And the family's Long Island home was flooded during Superstorm Sandy.
Joseph played the trumpet and French horn. His father says the teen also had participated in Model Congress, the Boy Scouts and math competitions.
According to school officials, a hospital report says the student's illness was not contagious.

Welcome to Africa, AKA the motherland! Check out African Internet Radio while you're scoping the panoramas.
The earliest fossil of the homo sapiens family (human beings) was found in Ethiopia, dating back more than 200,000 years. Compared to this length of time, even the "ancient Sumerians" from 6000 B.C. are drooling toddlers.
Let's mention a few African heroes you may have heard of, for inspiration in the face of the continued economic inequality and violence which plague Africa today: Nelson Mandela, first democratically elected President of South Africa, who fought against apartheid and served 27 years in prison while advocating freedom and peace. Haile Salassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, who resisted Mussolini and the fascist Italian invasion of WWII, and who is worshipped as an incarnation of God by the Rastafari movement. Kwame Nkrumah, first Prime Minister of Ghana, advocate of uniting Africa in Pan-Africanism. Fela Kuti, inventor of Afrobeat music, who declared his home to be an independent state, ran for president of Nigeria, and to whose funeral ONE MILLION PEOPLE came to pay their respects.
In June 2001 the African Union was formed, consisting of 53 African States organized, like in the EU, around common economic and political development.

Even more food for thought and perspective for those who are eager to diss Gradkowski. This comes from http://www.buccaneers.com/matchup/matchupmain.aspx"In only his third year in the league, New York Giants QB Eli Manning is showing rapid maturation behind center while leading his team to first place in the NFC East. Most striking about Manning's improvement this season has been his much improved completion percentage. Through six games, the former number one overall pick of the 2004 NFL Draft has completed 62.9 percent of his passes. A breakdown of Manning's numbers reveals he can beat a team underneath or over the top. This season, Manning is completing passes of 10 yards or less at a whopping 70 percent as compared to the 59 percent mark he posted last year. His accuracy has improved another 10 percent for intermediate passes of 11-20 yards, but his biggest increase has come with the deep throw. When throwing passes of 21 yards or more, Manning is finding his target 59 percent of the time. That's 30 percent greater than his 2005 completion percentage for the same throws."Learning to quarterback in the NFL is not an overnight process. Even Eli didn't take the reins as quickly as Gradkowski. Gradkowski has three starts. Manning has three years. You can't expect Grad to play like these guys who have been in the NFL for years. And, while not a rocket, his arm is plenty good enough to make the throws. Cut the kid some slack. He is going to be a good one for a long time.

Arvest Bank is offering suggestions to keep your Spring Break or other vacation on track.
First, let your bank know you will be traveling. This will make sure your card will not be flagged for possible fraud. This is especially critical when you are leaving the country or traveling to multiple cities.
Also, make copies of the front and back of your debit and credit cards, keeping the copies in a safe place. If the card gets stolen, you still have the numbers and information from the card.
Keep all receipts and match them up with your bank statement. Let the bank know if you spot anything suspicious.
There are a couple things you can do to prevent over-spending. First, make a budget before you leave. Second, put money on a prepaid card, especially if your children are going on vacation without you.
Lastly, don't leave a wallet or purse unattended, even at places like a water park. Thieves often target vacationers.

Inshore is a fungible term. The mangrove shorelines of South Florida qualify; so do the rocky coasts of Maine and California. In the Northeast, inshore might be three miles off the coast, where it's legal to chase stripers, or out to the edge of the shelf if you're chasing bluefins.
Inshore fishing varies from inches of water to a dozen fathoms. Suffice it to say, anything not offshore is inshore. Hunting the shallows with paddle or pole, or fishing shallow reefs and wrecks, here's a selection of tools to make your inshore pursuit more productive.
Getting Around
Flir's thermal night-vision cameras have carved out a place on a growing number of fishing boats, and the First Mate II series brings portability to the power to see in the dark. Dressed in a rugged marinized suit, these units slip into a slicker pocket or a boat bag. Getting into position along a productive shoreline before sunup becomes a more efficient strategy — as does returning to the dock after the light has faded.
The handhelds are built on the same infrared-sensing cores as the bigger boat-mounted FLIR units, and there are four models available with varying levels of features. Especially notable on the latest version is InstAlert — image processing that highlights the strongest heat signatures, highlighting hazards or people in the water. Users also report success spotting bait schools on the surface in low-light situations. Starting at $1,999; flir.com
Sonar to Go
The echo 150 Portable Bundle guarantees you'll never be without a fish finder. If you lack the space for a permanent installation, store your boat where you're better off without tempting electronics aboard, or spend a lot of time on other people's (marginally equipped) boats, this package lets you carry a complete fish-finder setup with you when you step aboard.
The package includes a Garmin echo 150 with dual beam (200/77 kHz) transducer in a protective carrying case with a rugged support arm and base. The case stows all the necessary components: a sealed AGM rechargeable battery with its own charger, transducer cable, suction-cup transducer mount and float.
If you already own a compatible 4- or 5-inch Garmin echo, echomap or GPSMAP, you can get the portability of it, sans sounder, for about a hundred bucks. $169.99; garmin.com
High-Value/ High-Tech
Raymarine's new Dragonfly Sonar/GPS brings the power of CHIRP sonar within reach of every angler. It's appealing to smaller-boat, inshore and nearshore fishermen. ClearPulse DownVision sonar uses CHIRP technology to transmit a wide-spectrum sonar signal providing near-photographic sonar images. Two CHIRP channels allow simultaneous views of fish-finding sonar and high-res DownVision imagery.
A built-in 50-channel GPS simplifies installation, and it comes loaded with your choice of Navionics chart bundles. The ultrabright, sunlight-viewable 5.7-inch display makes it a natural for open-boat installation.
"Because it's CHIRP sonar, it produces a super photolike image of the bottom, and of fish," says Raymarine's Jim McGowan. "It's ideal for the shallow-reef and wreck fisherman." $649.99 (with transducer); raymarine.com

The Phoenix Coyotes made hockey in the desert cool again with their first run to the Western Conference finals last season. Landing a potential owner added to the momentum.
Then everything came to a complete halt with the NHL lockout.
Now that the lockout is over, the Coyotes are hoping to rekindle the interest they had worked so hard to gain in what was the most successful season in franchise history.
A good start to the shortened season could certainly help and the Coyotes appear to be in good position to do just that.
Phoenix kept most of its core from last year's team and most of its players spent the lockout playing hockey, either overseas or at well-attended informal workouts at the Ice Den in Scottsdale.
