What is an "instructional coach?" and why is PUSD funding instructional coaches rather than real teachers?
Original post made by Boondoggle on Feb 14, 2013
It used to be that every time a buddy of a superintendent or administrator "retired," the "retired" person somehow magically ended up on the PUSD payroll as an "instructional coach" or as an independent contractor somehow affiliated with the PUSD Tri-Valley Teacher Induction Program Web Link without even the knowledge of the school board.
This is also where ex assistant superintendents wind up. Basically they show up in finance reports under Object 5880 or 5881 as Consultants in the General Fund.
Why doesn't PUSD hire people qualified for administrative positions? Why do they need "coaches?" Does PUSD just hire people based on who they know and not what they know?
Retired administrators end up as a "coach" for principals and assistant principals.
Retired teachers end up as a "coach" for teachers.
It would be nice if the Pleasanton Weekly would do some digging on this, and publish information on it. The Board is probably in the dark about this.

I used my current favorite search engine (Bing), and found:
Web Link
It seems that the new superintendent is using the coaches to teach teachers to teach lower performing students and non-English speakers. It seems to me that the new superintendent is focusing on these students at the expense of all the rest. Does anyone else agree? I'm surprised people aren't saying more about this, given the general hostility toward the district that I read on these forums.
on Feb 15, 2013 at 7:47 am
As part of No Child Left Behind, the district is required to bring low-performing groups up to proficiency.
See: Web Link
Since teachers are the ones that need to get their students to proficiency, it makes sense to me that training/coaching/professional development for teachers would be beneficial. Of course, the training has to be good and not just perpetuate what's already not working.
on Feb 15, 2013 at 8:52 am
The website that I was taking too was for the Tri Valley Teacher Induction Program. All newly credentialed teachers in the state of California have to go through this program (BTSA- Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment Program). This use to be a college program until SB 2042 came into play, which basically embeds certain aspects of teaching into their credential. I.E. they are qualified to teach ESL students. The coaches that teachers get isn't up to their control. They are usually placed, and sometimes can request a coach if they know someone.
I have been through it, and let me say this- it is boring and a waste of time. At the end of a regular credential program, students have to complete projects, or tasks. These tasks are then graded by the CTC, and all have to do with ESL students, students that are exceptional (the term they use for special ed students etc.) The BTSA program is good for building a network of connections, but other than that, it's like a teaching credential program 2.0.
O I think I forgot above. If a new teacher doesn't go through this program within 5 years, they Preliminary Credential can expire and they therefore can't teach anymore (unless if he/she tries to renew their preliminary credential.) After completion of the BTSA program, the credential becomes "clear".

Roni Recommends
There are some interesting movies in theaters, here is our pick for 'Roni Recommends'
For hte film for the family, it's 'Everybody's Fine'. Starring Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore and Kate Beckinsale, it's the sad tale of a family broken down by lack of communication. De Niro plays Frank, the recent widower who invites his grown children home for the holidays. One after ther other they cancel, so Frank goes on the road to visit them and catch up on their lives. This is an example of what a family should strive to not be, as Frank struggles to reconnect with the kids he's disappointed over the years.
Next is the flick for the date, 'Brothers'. Natalie Portman plays Grace, a woman grieving over her husband Sam's death. But Sam is still alive. As a prisoner of war fighting returns home, but soon realizes this family isn't the same. Grace has fallen for his brother, an ex con played by Jake Gyllenhaal who has become the new man in the house. It's a gripping movie that will leave you wondering whos side to take.
And finally the movie to wait for the DVD. 'Serious Moonlight'. It seemed to have poential, it was written by the same woman who wrote the clever 'Waitress', but this film falls flat. Meg Ryan plays the neurotic wife who traps her husband in the house when she discovers he's been cheating. Tied up and locked up in the bathroon, she shows him slide show pictures of their marriage, hoping to convince him of their love and relationship.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Students from La Jolla's four high schools shine in talent show to raise cash for scholarships
Preuss School students present a scene from 'Oliver!'
The 10th annual Stars In Our Eyes talent show, held Jan. 25, 2013 at La Jolla High School's Parker Auditorium, showcased students' abilities and raised money for college scholarships. Presented by the Rotary Club of La Jolla, the show featured 17 different acts, including singing, dancing and acting, as well as a student art exhibit. More than 125 students from La Jolla High School, The Bishop's School, La Jolla Country Day School and Preuss School at UCSD performed, helped set up the show, worked backstage or contributed a piece of art. "We give around $150,000 annually in scholarships to college-bound graduates of the four La Jolla high schools," said Kate Adams, Rotary Club president.

The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: Sarg
A busy proxy server is something that no self-respecting admin should leave to its own devices. The Squid logfile analyzer, dubbed Sarg by its author, helps you keep your Squid servers on track.
I really enjoy browsing sites such as Sourceforge or Freshmeat for interesting software packages. Of course, packages with interesting sounding names are more likely to catch my eye. I couldn't help noticing a tool by the Brazilian software developer, Pedro Orso. I'm sure Pedro wasn't aware of the slightly morbid connotations of his Squid Analysis Report Generator (Sarg) for German Linux users. (Sarg is the German word for coffin.) But this didn't put me off in the least, and it's just as well it didn't, because Sarg is exactly the kind of tool that I like: lean and quick. And it gets on very efficiently with the task for which it was intended: creating reports based on Squid logs.

The show, first announced for a fall 2012 on Broadway, will now happen in fall 2013, the new producers announced on May 24.
The production, as reported, will be directed by 21-time Tony Award winner Harold Prince, co-directed and choreographed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman, and features a book by Tony Award nominee David Thompson (The Scottsboro Boys).
"We are honored, thrilled and excited to be producing Prince of Broadway," said Steven Baruch on behalf of the producing team. "Hal Prince has the most important legacy in the American theatre and he continues to create great work for the stage. Hal and his creative team have completed an extraordinary new musical, which we want to give the best possible Broadway production."
Here's how the show is billed: "Celebrating one of the most influential and successful careers in the American theatre of the past 60 years, Prince of Broadway will look at the circumstances and fortune, both good and bad, that led to Hal Prince creating some of the most enduring and beloved theatre of all time, including The Pajama Game, West Side Story, Fiorello!, Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Evita and The Phantom of the Opera, the longest-running show in Broadway history."
The musical will feature words and music from many of the shows that have earned Hal Prince a record 21 Tony Awards.
The creative team includes Tony-nominated scenic designer Beowulf Boritt, Tony-winning costume designer William Ivey Long, Tony-winning lighting designer Howell Binkley and Tony-nominated sound designer Jonathan Deans.
Musical supervision, incidental music, vocal and dance arrangements are by Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown, orchestrations are by Don Sebesky and musical direction is by Eric Stern.
A cast was previously announced, but the change of schedule may prompt changes to that earlier lineup. No casting was announced on May 24.
The producing credits of Frankel-Baruch-Viertel-Routh Group include the Broadway productions of The Producers (2001, Best Musical Tony), Hairspray (2002, Best Musical Tony), Sweeney Todd (2005), Company (2006, Best Revival Tony), Gypsy (2008), A Little Night Music (2009) and The Norman Conquests (2009, Best Revival Tony), among other titles.

FORT HOOD –– A military judge today rejected accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's latest attempt to delay his trial, ruling that jury selection will begin next Tuesday.
Hasan, 42, faces 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder stemming from the Nov. 5, 2009 massacre at the Soldier Readiness Processing Center at Fort Hood.
During a hearing Tuesday, Hasan asked military judge Col. Tara Osborn for a continuance because he claimed former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark has joined his three-person legal team. Attempts to reach Clark for confirmation have not been successful.
Hasan has already shaken up his legal representation numerous times. First, he ditched retired Col. John Galligan and then fired his entire legal team when he decided to represent himself. He then hired three of them back.
Osborn called Hasan's request "untimely" and an obstruction and asked Hasan to enter a plea. The major previously pled not guilty, arguing that he was protecting members of the Taliban when he opened fire on post. Osborn rejected that plea.
On Tuesday, he said he wanted to enter a guilty plea, which is not allowed in a military death penalty case. Osborn then entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
Hasan, who is representing himself, submitted 103 questions to the court that he planned to ask witnesses. The judge went through the questions one by one, outlawing several, including queries that pertained to what the person on the stand knew about the Boston Marathon bombings and mass shootings in Colorado and Connecticut.
The judge also said she will explain to the jury why Hasan has a beard and why he's wearing an Army combat uniform in court. Hasan remains paralyzed from injuries he sustained during the alleged attack.
Testimony will begin August 6.

There is absolutely no new information here that hasn't been presented before on The Digital Picture, et al. The bottom line is that if you shoot professionally wide open (>f/2), you'll want the 50L. Personally, I wouldn't turn one down if given one, but I do have the 50mm f/1.4 that works just fine.

Topic: Review - Canon EF 50 f/1.2L (Read 48168 times)
In landscape photography, when you shoot is more important than where.
Gear: Canon 5DmkII, 17-40mm f/4 L, 50mm f/1.4, 70-200mm f/4.
Gear: Canon 5DmkII, 17-40mm f/4 L, 50mm f/1.4, 70-200mm f/4.
I've owned every version of this lens (1.8, 1.4, 1.2) and they are all worth the price you pay. The 1.2L does amazing work, but you also have to have a good command of the camera with such razor sharp DoF. I noticed a little backfocusing in low light, but it produces top-notch images 95% of the time.

All the photos except the bokeh photo are taken with the 50L. A little bias? But after owning the 1.8 Mrk 1, 1.4, and the 1.2L, I know the bias for the 1.2.
The only people who bash the 1.2L are the people who can't afford it.

+1... Sums up my view. I don't know why this review was dragged up again waving the f1.2 fan club flag. Way too much has been said already about this overrated lens. I sold mine and haven't looked back. Next!
"Sharpness is a bourgeois concept" - Henri Cartier-Bresson

Nikon has gone the opposite route: Both their f/1.4 and f/1.8 50mm's are absolutely killer.
I haven't tried the Nikon 50/1.8, but the Nikon 50/1.4 is certainly not killer. It's ok, but the Canon 50/1.2 draws better. People look at the resolution numbers and seem to ignore the actual photographs. To judge a lens properly, you have to look at the photographs it makes. Resolution numbers can only tell you so much. The Canon 50/1.2 has a very beautiful way of drawing pictures, especially in the f/1.6 to f/2.5 range. I've gotten wonderful results from it that go beyond what the resolution numbers would tell me. In that aperture range, there is no issue with focus shift. And with the 5D3, focus is more reliable than with past camera bodies. It seems to me that the lens designers had a certain artistic look in mind, and they succeeded brilliantly. Sure, we all wish for a sharper 50, as good as the $4K Leica 50/1.4, but the Canon 50/1.2 has some very positive qualities. And as for sharpness, the Canon 50/1.2 was among the sharpest lenses in LensRentals.com's "Great 50mm Shootout" - http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2012/01/the-great-50mm-shootout - sharper than Nikon, Sigma or Zeiss.

The only people who bash the 1.2L are the people who can't afford it.
I don't know about that, but despite all the bashing about its sharpness, according to Lensrentals testing, the 50L is the sharpest lens from f/1.2 to f/2.0 including alll Canon, Zeiss, Nikon, and Sigma 50mm choices.
What I love about the 50L is how it retains such nice contrast and color below f/2.0, which is something my Canon 50 f/1.8 or 50 f/1.4 could not do, not to mention the superior bokeh of 50L .

I currently use a Canon 50/1.4 and am happy with it. But I am looking forward to trying the 50L 1.2 one day. The photos I've seen from it are indeed special, it strikes me that this lens is for those who want a certain feel to their photos, a unique quality that can't be delivered from just any lens. There are many 'sharp' lenses out there, but there are few than can take a photo which you can actually identify which lens was used. Not every photo taken with a 50L can be identified as such, obviously, but there are photos I've seen that have a quality which can be identified as having been taken with this lens (and such can be said for the 85L, as well as certain other lenses made by Lieca, Carl Zeiss and perhaps a few others). This quality from these images isn't something that can be measured on a graph, but only by the eye of the beholder. I've seen enough such images to convince me there is something special in these lenses, and while you can still take wonderful photos with other lenses, you can't take the exact same photo as you could with a lens like the 50L unless you use the 50L in such a way that you take advantage of it's unique qualities. It's not a general purpose lens, seems to me, the 50/1.4 would be better suited to that. But if you want to explore your creative potential with a single lens, the 50L is probably one of the better choices, seems to me.
I too have found this lens to be disappointing. It is really a different beast. It is quite good for cinematic video. Unfortunately most of the reviews dont make these differences well known - that is the focus and CA issues.

Michael Del Zotto and Dan Girardi are hockey players for the New York Rangers. If you haven't heard, the Rangers won a pretty big hockey game early Thursday morning in Washington, D.C.
They wear red and cheer for the Capitals there, and fans sat on the edge of their seats for nearly five hours watching Game 3, only to be disappointed by a crushing loss. It's tough to deal with games like this, and everybody does it differently.
Some fans just shake their heads in disgust, others smack the glass with an extremely sad hand, and some opt to make obscene gestures towards the opposing team. The latter has the largest comedic pay off, of course and that's where Del Zotto and Girardi get involved.
We have full coverage of Game 3 between the Capitals and Rangers in our StoryStream. For more on the Capitals, check in with Japers' Rink, and for more on the Rangers, check in with Blueshirt Banter.

The Philippines are an archipelago of more than seven thousand islands off the southeast coast of Asia. Only half of these islands have been named and roughly one thousand are inhabited. Look at how beautiful they are! People first arrived here from the mainland around 25,000 B.C. by crossing a land bridge which existed at the time.
The name comes from Ferdinand Magellan of Portugal, who explored the Philippines in 1521. He claimed them in service of Spain, naming them after Prince Philip. Spain controlled the Philippines for the next 350 years until the Philippine Revolution of 1896.
Here's a picture of Fort Santiago, where the national hero Jose Rizal was imprisoned prior to his execution. He was a poet and novelist who supported peaceful reform, rather than violent revolution, against the Spanish government.
This is one of poems in which he describes the creation of the world, as a gift to his mother:
"Say they that tell of the world, the first dawn of the sun, the first kiss that his bosom inflamed, when thousands of beings surged out of nothing, and peopled the depths, and to the heights mounted, to wherever his fecund kiss was implanted"
Violent revolution broke out anyway and the Philippines changed hands from Spanish, to American, to Japanese control over the next fifty years. Following World War Two they finally became an independent republic.
Back to the beautiful ocean! You can dream about the Cafe Del Mar resort next time you find your screen saver kicking in when you're still sitting at the desk staring blankly. There's a series of DJ mixes with this title but I don't know if it refers to the same place. I would not be surprised.

Chalk up more back-to-school savings by shopping online
Tuesday, July 10, 2012 11:24 AM EDT
Tuesday, July 10, 2012 11:24 AM EDT
(ARA) - As the end of summer nears, the flashing red lights of yellow school buses will caution drivers to stop as students board. College students will pull out of driveways with cars filled to the brim with dorm room supplies. And the school bells will echo across the playground, signaling the start and end of classroom learning.
Of course, before school starts in the fall, parents will tackle the task of back-to-school shopping. The "must-buy" list often doesn't change much from year to year. Students of all ages and schooling levels will need pencils, notebooks, new clothes, backpacks and folders. As you develop a shopping list for your children this year, consider making the back-to-school shopping experience a bit easier by staying home, shopping online and saving money. Use these tips for better back-to-school savings.
* Regular school supplies like pencils, pens, rulers and notebooks are best found via big box retailers. But often in the stores, the back-to-school aisles look as if a whirlwind trashed the place. Instead, calmly sit at home with your list in front of you and order the supplies your children need via the retailers' websites. In addition, use cash back sites like
, to find extra savings, both on shopping list items and shipping costs. By having all the supplies delivered to your home, you'll have saved yourself the time and stress of taking the children to the store.
* Shop the back-to-school sales online. Many retailers will designate a day, week or even month promoting their back-to-school discounts, and some states will designate a tax-free shopping day for school items and clothing. Take advantage of these savings, and look for "buy one, get one free" offers (very helpful if you have more than one child heading back to school) or free shipping coupon codes to add even more savings.
* Some online coupon sites like Ebates.com offer cash back on your purchases. For example, when shopping for school supplies online, visit your favorite retail stores through Ebates.com, make your purchases and receive cash back rewards based on a percentage of your purchase. Plus, the back-to-school shopping season will bring increased cash back from dozens of popular stores, so take a little time to compare the best cash back rates with each store's coupon codes and discounts to make the most of any available savings.
* College students often qualify for student discounts when using a valid student ID. Electronics like laptop computers and smartphones are typically the biggest budget items on a college student's back-to-school shopping list. Search for seasonal discounts and coupon codes at computer and mobile brand online stores, like HP, Dell, AT&T and Verizon, where additional savings can be gleaned with a student ID. Also, use FatWallet.com as a resource for detailed student and teacher discount guides in the FatWallet blog and check their hot deals forum for the latest back-to-school deals.
Staying home and accomplishing the entire shopping list for your student's back-to-school supplies without having to drive all over town will leave everyone in your family a bit happier and better prepared for the first day of school. Plus, the extra savings you can find while shopping online will help your budget.

While most people probably associate chopsticks as a necessity in eating food from Asia, one of these types of food actually don't require them – sushi. Sushi is a familiar food at this point, but many people will probably be happy to hear that it is ok to eat sushi without using chopsticks; in fact the first iteration of modern sushi was actually created as a fast food that could be eaten with one's hands.
A normal sushi set that you will find in a sushi restaurant probably consists of a medium sized plate, small dish for soy sauce, and pair of chopsticks. Some additional items you might see are a chopsticks rest, small salad or rice bowl, and accompanying sake set. While you will always see the chopsticks with the set, keep in mind that eating with your hands isn't necessarily considered poor manners. However, with a little practice you will probably find that using chopsticks is pretty straightforward and the main block to using them is probably mental.
If you do plan on using them, a good basic way to start is by laying one stick on the part of your hand between your thumb and index finder, with the narrower end running towards the tip of your fingers. Rest the narrow end on the inside of your middle finger (the position of this chopstick can change with practice and depending on preference). For now this chopstick will remain stationary. Then pinch the second chopstick in between your thumb and index finger in a way that allows maneuverability of this top chopstick. You can practice your new skill by picking up small objects – keep in mind that in addition to getting used to the new motion required by the chopsticks you will need to develop some new muscles in your hand.
It might take some practicing (probably will) but you will probably find that it's not as difficult as you had imagined. In fact, it might end up being your Sushi Set Salvation instead of the one part of the set that you are worried about. Either way, hopefully you will be enjoying some tasty sushi.

Championing education
When Linda Gabrielson started graduate studies at the University of Maine, there's no way she could have predicted how her education and professional pursuits would coincide this year.
Gabrielson is finishing doctoral coursework in higher educational leadership after three years of classes taught by some of the state's foremost experts, including former University of Maine System Chancellor Terrence MacTaggart.
Gabrielson has been in the classroom for a decade, teaching at Southern Maine Technical College in South Portland. One of her responsibilities last semester was establishing the college's new Center on Teaching Excellence. In addition, Gabrielson is participating in the transformation of Maine's technical college system to a statewide community college network as of July 1.
"It's an exciting time," says Gabrielson. "I look forward to continuing to work with students so we can open doors and change their lives. This transition (from a technical to community college system) is part of a bigger picture of making higher education the norm in Maine for those who have not thought about college or need the opportunities to participate."
Open access to higher education for all who want to pursue college has long been important to Gabrielson. Academic rigor, coupled with attention to the learning needs of students entering community college, ensures that graduates attain the level of training, education and knowledge required to pursue the next chapter in their lives. "Academic integrity is alive and well, and I hope to continue to champion it, whether I contribute as an administrator, teacher or educational leader in a higher education organization."
Linda Gabrielson, a registered dietician, discovered her love of teaching when she taught nutrition and diet therapy. Through the years, her commitment to quality education, including service learning, has only gotten stronger.

|Years played
|2010, 2nd round, 5th pick by Eagles
NFC East Spin cycle: Three-team race in NFC East
The NFC East is a logjam at the top: The Redskins, Cowboys and Giants are all at 8-6 with two weeks left to settle things.
Brown's offseason goal: Hang on to the ball
Eagles RB Bryce Brown has shown some impressive flashes, but his lack of ball control is disconcerting.
Opportunistic Bengals defense crushes Eagles
An opportunistic defense forced five turnovers, including Wallace Gilberry's fumble-return TD, and the Bengals beat the Eagles 34-13.
Eagles disappoint and Colts surprise in 2012
The PFW staff voted on its most disappointing and surprising teams of 2012, and the Eagles and Colts came out on top.
Eagles place DT Patterson on reserve list
The Eagles placed DT Mike Patterson on the reserve/non-football injury list and promoted FB-TE Emil Igwenagu from the practice squad.
Eagles might have QB to build around
Eagles rookie QB Nick Foles' late-game heroics — and eight straight quality quarters of football now — have the team thinking it might have something.
NFC East Spin cycle: Clean sweep as race thickens
The NFC East remains a three-way race with all four teams winning Sunday. David Wilson had a record day in the Giants' win.
Foles leads Eagles to thrilling win over Buccaneers
Nick Foles threw a pair of touchdown passes in the final four minutes, as Philadelphia rallied to beat the Buccaneers 23-21 and end an eight-game losing streak.
Foles, Cousins join in on rookie QB fun
Kirk Cousins and Nick Foles are the two latest rookie-QB phenomenons; plus, are Norv Turner, Ron Rivera and Andy Reid too late?
NFC East Spin cycle: Eagles' defense needs major overhaul
The NFC East race is officially on after the Cowboys beat the Eagles Sunday night and the Redskins took down the Giants on Monday.
Eagles fire Washburn
The Eagles announced early Monday morning that they have relieved defensive line coach Jim Washburn of his duties.

Tony Romo threw three touchdown passes to break Troy Aikman's career franchise record, and the Cowboys beat the Eagles 38-33 on Sunday night.
What Babin's release means for Eagles' future
The Eagles' release of DE Jason Babin is murky on some levels, crystal-clear on others. But either way you look at it, the move had major ramifications.
Eagles QB Vick not cleared to practice
Eagles QB Michael Vick did not pass his imPACT test on Wednesday and will not be cleared to practice on Thursday, the team's website reported.
Wednesday's 60-second rant: Eagles demise began with Washburn hiring
Things started going downhill for Andy Reid and the Eagles when they hired DL coach Jim Washburn before hiring a defensive coordinator.
Allen has left the Philadelphia Eagles' game against Chicago with a concussion.||||||| Allen is Philadelphia's starting free safety. He was injured in the first quarter during Chicago's scoring drive. Jay Cutler threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Matt Spaeth to give the Bears a 7-0 lead Monday night.
Allen has a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee and will have season-ending surgery.||||||| Allen, drafted with the second-round pick Philadelphia acquired from Washington in the Donovan McNabb trade, is the fourth defensive starter to go down for the season. A potential fifth, middle linebacker Stewart Bradley, is out with a dislocated elbow and may not return until the playoffs. Allen was hurt in the Eagles' 38-31 win over the New York Giants. His knee appeared to buckle while he tackled Mario Manningham.
Allen has solidified his position as a starter with his play during training camp.||||||| Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott calls Allen unshakable, and says the second-round pick from South Florida has earned the respect of his peers. McDermott made his comments after Wednesday morning's practice at Lehigh University. The Eagles struggled last season to find a capable free safety after perennial Pro Bowler Brian Dawkins signed with Denver as a free agent. Allen was given the starting spot at the beginning of camp.

ATLANTA (AP) - Residents needing a driver's license can now check wait times at local offices of the Georgia Department of Driver Services.
The department's web site now tracks the average time spent waiting in line at its 64 customer service locations. DDS Commissioner Rob Mikell said in a statement that the system will allow drivers to make an informed choice about when to head to the office.
Officials use the last two weeks of data to forecast expected wait times. Those forecasts will be updated regularly.

Served in an nonic pint glass fairly cold.
Appears to be black and opaque, but there's a reddish copper tint when light does in fact pass through. Foam is a very light shade of tan, with creamy texture and sticky properties. A halo of lace forms easily. Aroma is fairly subdued, light roast malt is the main smell. Very first whiff had some spice to it, but I couldn't get it again despite repeated swirls to release the aroma.
A low to medium level of roastiness with a layer of spices and earthy pumpkin flavor. There was the usual nutmeg and cinnamon, with an interesting addition of sprucey juniper. The spices were fairly mild, and everything came together well. It was light feeling for a porter, with a slight astringent bite from the carbonation. Almost more of an English Porter with the lack of hop bitterness. 200 lbs. of pumpkin is alot, but this didn't come across as overpowering. Not sweet at all, it was more dry with alot of roasted malt. Two pints were easy, this was a successful hybrid style pumpkin beer.

Pours a dark brown color with a thin lacy white head. The aroma is strong and gives off a complex bouquet of scents including malt sweetness, pumpkin, and spices as well as the roasted coffee/chocolate aroma typically associated with porters. The flavor is a great combination of spices with pumpkin to give an exact copy of a pumpkin pie taste. Very impressed with the decision to make a pumpkin porter. Most pumpkins are much lighter ales but the porter style provides a nice thick body with moderate carbonation to support and enhance the flavor. The flavor finishes very clean and fades slowly leaving the great pumpkin flavor behind to linger and make you wonder if you just drank a beer or ate some pie.

Pours black without much of a head. The nose is of chocolates and vanilla with some pumpkin spiciness (cinnamon and red hots). The taste follows the nose nicely, starting with sweet chocolates. Once the pumpkin porter moves to the back of the mouth, I got a lot of pumpkin spices, mostly nutmeg and cinnamon. The finish was sprucy bitterness, which I can't say I was really expecting, but it was a nice surprise. It goes down with a light body and medium carbonation, pretty damn smooth. This is a good porter, I always love drinking pumpkin stouts and this one didn't disappoint. I would definitely recommend this.

On-tap at Destihl Bloomington/Normal. Poured into taster.
A - Pours a light brown color, cream-colored head, thin collar, wisps.
S - Holiday spices, nutmeg, pumpkin, burnt sugars, roast, cinnamon. Really enjoyable, the pumpkin is very subtle and overpowered by the spices.
T - Similar to the nose. Nice mix of pumpkin, dark chocolate, roast, cinnamon, and nutmeg. I know there's a lot of pumpkin in this beer (per the description), but I'm actually wishing there was more.
M - Medium, good carbonation, creamy finish.
O - Really like this beer...a lot. The fiancé enjoyed it as well and I hope it's around next time I'm visiting the pub. Recommend.

Calluses are areas of thick, hardened, dead skin. They form to protect the skin and structures under the skin from pressure, friction, and injury. They may look grayish or yellowish, be less sensitive to the touch than surrounding skin, and feel rough.

FAIRFAX, Va. — Mitt Romney was still celebrating his widely praised debate performance when the campaign lurched in a different direction.
Unemployment dropped last month to the lowest level since 2009, and suddenly it was President Barack Obama's turn to smile.
In a race dominated by the weak economy, Obama said yesterday the creation of 114,000 jobs in September, coupled with a drop in unemployment to 7.8 percent, was "a reminder that this country has come too far to turn back now." Jabbing at his rival's plans, he declared, "We've made too much progress to return to the policies that caused this crisis in the first place."
But Romney saw little to like in the day's new government numbers.
"This is not what a real recovery looks like," the former Massachusetts governor and businessman said, an analysis echoed by other Republicans throughout the day. "We created fewer jobs in September than in August, and fewer jobs in August than in July, and we've lost over 600,000 manufacturing jobs since President Obama took office," Romney added.
"If not for all the people who have simply dropped out of the labor force, the real unemployment rate would be closer to 11%," he said.
Incumbent and challenger alike campaigned in battleground states during the day, each man starting out in Virginia before the president headed for Ohio and Romney flew to Florida. Those three states, along with Colorado, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Iowa make up the nine battleground states where the race is likely to be decided. Among them, they account for 110 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.
Recent polls have shown Obama with leads in most if not all of them, although the impact of Wednesday night's debate and of the drop in unemployment could well change some public opinion.

6 Biggest Energy Earnings Reports Next Week
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Earnings season is my favorite time of year, even with the go-go nonstop action that forces so many sleepless nights. We have over 100 companies that are worth keeping your eyeballs focused on. Included here are the six most market moving energy-related companies.
Diamond Offshore (DO)
Background: Diamond Offshore operates as an offshore oil and gas drilling contractor worldwide. It offers a range of services in the ultra-deepwater, deepwater and midwater markets, as well as in the non-floater or jack-up market. The company was founded in 1989 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas. Diamond is a subsidiary of Loews Corporation. Diamond Offshore trades an average of 1.3 million shares per day with a marketcap of $9 billion.52-Week Range: $50.73 to $73.50 Book Value: $32.24 Price to Book: 2 DO is forecast to report lower third-quarter earnings before the market opens on Oct. 18. The consensus estimate is currently $1.01 a share, falling 84 cents (45.4%) from $1.85 during the same period last year. Analysts' estimates this quarter range from 83 cents, to a high of $1.16 per share. Real Money's Bret Jensen writes about Diamond in Buy These Drillers on the Dip. Diamond has many analysts following it, but opinion is mixed. Currently, Diamond has 16 buy recommendations, 17 holds and six recommend selling, out of 39 analysts covering the company. The stock appreciated 18% in the last year, and the average analyst target price for Diamond Offshore is $72.52. I looked at Diamond's chart to gain a better understanding of market perception. The 200-day moving average is climbing at a sustainable bullish pace. The 60-day moving average is above the 200-day moving average while trending higher. The 60-day is rounding and the price recently broke lower. What does it all mean? Technical traders and trend followers are not going to jump at the chance to invest based on the chart. Shareholders receive $3.50 annually in dividend payments (well, sorta, kinda . . . actually Diamond has a small "regular" dividend and also has paid a "special" dividend over and over to bring the effective rate higher). Diamond's yield based on a recent price is almost eye popping at 5.36%. The current proportion sold short based on the float is 7.1%, and I find this much interest by short sellers worth looking at in more depth. The high yield and the payout are the first things to look at. Short sellers have to pay what is known as "in lieu of" for the dividends the buyers of the stock would normally receive. Short sellers don't enjoy paying over 5% to maintain their short unless they believe the stock is likely to fall by a much greater amount. The payout is high, and all things considered, I would not count on the high dividend as much as many others paying in the same range. The fact that the majority of the dividend is "special" is a red flag. DO Revenue Quarterly data by YCharts

As Washington environmental regulators start wrestling with the safety of new and larger fuel terminals along the Pacific Coast, some residents in southwest Washington communities are getting restless — with worries about the safety of crude oil shipped by rail to refineries and shipping docks.
Oil-by-rail traffic is growing in Washington by leaps and bounds, altering the way oil is fed to refineries and challenging a state that has a good record of oil safety on marine waters.
Traffic went from zero barrels by rail in 2011 to 12.1 million barrels in 2012 and 17 million last year, state environmental authorities say. The amounts are expected to rise in 2014 and eventually go far higher as up to 10 new or expanded facilities are finished in Vancouver, Grays Harbor and at the state's five existing refineries from Tacoma to Ferndale.
Last week, a crowd of about 150 people turned out for a hearing in Centralia that was designed to measure how widely to study the environmental effects of two of the three oil terminal projects proposed for Hoquiam's ocean port at Grays Harbor.
That hearing followed another large crowd at a meeting the previous week in Hoquiam.
In both cases, the sentiment against the projects — and especially the onrush of oil-train traffic into Washington — was overwhelming.
"Being born on the wrong side of the track takes on new meaning now," said Larry Kerschner, a Centralia resident who testified about what the additional 120-car trains might do to auto and truck traffic. "I hope that no one dies while waiting for an ambulance to get across the tracks. I hope that no one's houses burn down while waiting for the firetruck to come across the tracks."
Others called for better emergency responses to spills, increased inspections once terminals are expanded, and safeguards including one man's call for a $50 million surety bond against damages. Some wanted a broad look that includes oil-by-rail effects along the Columbia River, which is the main entry point for oil trains. The state League of Women Voters called for a broad examination that takes into account the effect of burning more oil on climate change.
Some who spoke noted the deadly explosions of a train carrying volatile oil in Lac-Mergantic, Quebec, which killed 47 last year. And just one day after the hearing, an oil train went off the tracks in downtown Lynchburg, Virginia, catching fire near the James River.
The public meetings — dubbed "scoping hearings" — were sponsored by the Department of Ecology and the city of Hoquiam, which are jointly leading the environmental review process. Although some speakers at hearings want the state simply to halt the oil industry's quick expansion in Washington, DOE doesn't have the power to issue a moratorium, agency spokeswoman Linda Kent said.
"We're trying to find out what people think should be studied in the environmental review,'' Kent said, describing the agency as being in a "listening mode" with its hearings.
Paula Ehlers, who oversees the environmental review for Ecology on the two Hoquiam projects, said the agency expects to evaluate environmental effects along the short-line rail from Grays Harbor to Centralia. But the question of how much further the agency needs to go — such as considering Columbia River Gorge effects — won't be determined until the public comment period ends May 27.
The agency similarly hasn't decided how to weigh the effects of oil shipping on climate change.
Sponsors of the projects are Westway Terminals, a Louisiana firm whose Hoquiam terminal handles methanol for industrial processes, and Imperium Renewables, a Seattle-based biofuels company, both of which began operating facilities at Grays Harbor in the past decade. Each is expanding storage and shipping facilities for its coastal market and each expects to significantly boost rail traffic to feed its facilities that transport fuels by barge and ship.
Both companies bring in crude oil from North Dakota, and national transportation officials say this oil is more volatile and explosive than conventional crude oil.
Imperium is projecting its expanded facility would be served by an additional 730 trains and 200 barges or ships a year, while Westway says the two phases of its project would add 458 rail trains and 200 barge or vessel shipments yearly. The rail estimates include return or empty trips, meaning an average of three to four new trains each day.
"Our existing and expanded operations are required to follow very stringent federal and state guidelines that have been established over the last four decades," wrote John Plaza, president of Imperium, in a letter this year to DOE. He went on to say the company has been receiving and shipping rail cars of fuels as well as loading and unloading vessels on the site without incident since 2007.
Imperium says its project would add to the local tax base and provide about 60 jobs during construction with about 20 permanent jobs once the project is finished.
In documents filed with the state, Westway estimated its $60 million project would require about 123 trains a year — each with roughly 120 cars or 78,000 barrels of oil. This would allow the site to move more than 17.8 million barrels a year. The company also expects to ship about 53 to 64 barges of fuel, and site construction would mostly overlap slips built years ago.
Both firms are deferring to Hoquiam and Ecology to decide what scope of review is needed, according to Paul Queary of Strategies 360, a Seattle-based public affairs company handling media queries for the projects.
Queary said the public has obvious concerns but the firms are confident they can operate in an "environmentally sensitive way."
"We think there is broad support in the community for the economic (gains) and jobs that the projects will bring. The port has been the engine of economic development in Grays Harbor in recent years and we're happy to be part of that,'' Queary said.
A sense that a lot is happening fast — and that people and governments aren't prepared — was driving a lot of the worry of people who showed up to talk in Centralia on the terminals.
Arthur Grunbaum, president of Friends of Grays Harbor, said the scoping period that ends May 27 is "inadequate" for the problems posed by rail and vessel shipments to and from the terminals. He said people, including tribes, and many animal species along the coast are put at risk.
Patricia Owen, a grief counselor, said her family had seen three major train derailments near its farm between Winlock and Castle Rock over 30 years, and she warned what might have happened if any of those mangled trains had carried crude oil.
The Quinault Indian Nation also is on record against the projects because of risks to fisheries that are part of the tribe's treaty rights to harvest.

STERLING — — City of Sterling employees gathered in the Sterling Public Library's community room Monday for a Years of Service recognition luncheon hosted by the Excellence Committee.
Shari Bollish took the highest honors, with 40 years as a city employee. She began as a dispatcher, then transferred in 2007 to the Sterling Police Department's records department. Police Chief Tyson Kerr presented her service award, saying Bollish is "the epitome of friendliness."
He noted that 40 years with one employers is "a milestone most will not see."
Mayor Dan Torres also congratulated Bollish on her achievement, and spoke to her genuine personality.
Kerr was also among the employees recognized; he has been with the police department for 15 years. Virgie Nelson, Sterling Youth Services coordinator, noted that in that time, he has moved from a cadet to the chief. She expressed her appreciation for the "energy and forward thinking" she said Kerr brings to the department.
Acting City Manager Bob Brown recognized Sterling Municipal Judge Jay Brammer for his 10 years of service, joking that the forlorn faces of those coming in and out of City Hall are always a reminder that it is Wednesday, when court is held.
Joselyn Welsh, legal secretary, has also had 10 years with the city. She was not present for the luncheon.
Margie Peake was honored for her five years with the Sterling Public Library, after retiring from her teaching career. Michelle Dahlinger was recognized for five years as a dispatcher.
In addition to recognizing employee milestones, Brown acknowledged the work of all city employees, whom he called "the backbone of the city."
Torres said he apologizes if "we do not tell you often enough" how much the employees' work is appreciated, and he hopes to do more to express thanks for making Sterling great.

With the holiday season on the top of our mind, we're shopping for quintessential Winter pieces and, more importantly, stunning statement pieces for all of our upcoming festivities. That said, we're after the perfect party dress — think bold and beautiful— standout clutches, and pretty jewelry to finish it all off. And to keep us cozy during the day, we're after suede wedge boots and timeless printed snoods for a warm respite from the dropping temperatures. See and shop everything on our editors' December must-haves list now! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 At this point, my closet is mostly knit sweaters, but I just can't stop myself! This Toga Archives Geometric Knit Poncho ($1,140) has "cozy" written all over it, and I'm dying to wear it with a pair of oxblood-colored skinnies. — Britt Stephens, assistant editor 1 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I've been wanting a leopard-print coat, well, since I saw Kate Moss wearing hers. This Zara Leopard Print and Color Block Coat ($229) has that wow-factor print, but I love that the black colorblocking tempers it just a tad. — Hannah Weil, associate editor 2 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Enter the dragon. Not really, but how lovely is this Jason Wu embroidered clutch ($1,675)? From the luxurious tassel to chic gold hardware, this is the ultimate must-have clutch of the season. — Chi Diem Chau, associate editor 3 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Here in the Sugar NYC office, we're all a bit plaid obsessed at the moment. So, it certainly didn't help things when we spotted Kristen Stewart sporting a pair of Juicy Couture plaid pants. While I love hers, I am currently eyeing this more-relaxed, cuffed at the ankle flannel iteration by Joe's Jeans ($179). I'd style them with my black ankle boots and an oversize knit sweater, simple but cute. — Marisa Tom, associate editor 4 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'm not typically a hat person, so I'm not out to make a real investment — just have some fun. Can you believe this Gap Wide Brim Fedora is just $30?! — Hannah Weil, associate editor 6 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I love the ultrasoft, fuzzy look of Club Monaco's Ainsley Angora Sweater ($99) — doesn't it make you just want to cozy up with a mug of hot cocoa and a book? It's a wintry layering essential with a much more polished edge, and oh yeah, it's under $100. — Marisa Tom, associate editor 6 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Instead of the per-usual little black dress, I plan on donning this Theyskens' Theory Ginta jumpsuit ($795) to all of my holiday parties this season. The wrap detail is a nice touch, and I can easily dress it up with some glamorous jewels and shoes. — Chi Diem Chau, associate editor 7 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I am in love with Loeffler Randall's collection of handbags that debuted this Fall, and this iteration of the Loeffler Randall Rider Bag ($550) may just be my favorite. Nowhere else will you find leather this soft, with real water snake detailing, at this price. It doesn't hurt that its construction — with a dedicated iPad case built in — is arguably the most thoughtful I have come across this season. — Robert Khederian, fashion editorial assistant 8 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hello, perfect little holiday dress! I imagine playing the part of holiday-party hostess is easy in this Tibi Silk Faille Strapless Dress ($750). If all else fails, I'll at least look like I have it together in this perfectly festive little number. — Hannah Weil, associate editor 9 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 These whimsical ASOS mirrored drop earrings ($21) will add just the right amount of extra sparkle to all of my party ensembles this season. — Chi Diem Chau, associate editor 11 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Tibi's Shane Clear Strap Pumps ($435) are classic and minimalistic, but with a space-age twist. I love the clear PVC ankle strap and clean pointed toe — they will look great with holiday party looks but also work well for a normal day at the office. — Britt Stephens, assistant editor 11 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's no secret that we love snoods around FabSugar — they keep you cozy while subtly setting you apart from the rest of the scarf-wearing crowd. Why not stay warm this December in a chic Burberry snood ($210)? It's trendy enough to keep you looking up to date while classic enough to last for Winters to come. — Robert Khederian, fashion editorial assistant 12 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's hard for me to put into words how much I adore this Karl Lagerfeld Appliqued Mesh Dress ($3,910); it's basically a show piece, and in the words of Britney Spears, I'm a "put-on-a-show" kind of girl. While it's obviously a splurge, I think it's worth its weight in gold (or in this case, silver). I'd style it up with basic black pumps, a metallic clutch, and a seriously smoky eye. — Britt Stephens, assistant editor 13 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 What's not to love about this Pierre Hardy wedge boot ($500)? Its luxe suede finish, cool dark olive hue, and statement rubber-soled wedge make for a boot I'd wear with everything from my casual jeans-and-sweater combos to more dressed-up dress-and-tights pairings. — Marisa Tom, associate editor 14 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In preparation for the holiday party season, I'd love to get my hands on these Sophia Webster Lana embellished beauties ($535). How fun are the multicolored sequin embellishments? — Chi Diem Chau, associate editor 15 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I was immediately drawn to the Carolina Herrera for Target Stationery Set ($20) the moment I saw the colorful covers of each notepad. Who wouldn't love carrying one around, with a matching pencil, of course, to jot down all those little things during the day that inevitably get forgotten? — Robert Khederian, fashion editorial assistant 16 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I can think of nothing sweeter than slipping into this Eberjey Dolores Teddy ($80) (and maybe a supersoft robe) to read on weekends around the apartment. You may have to bundle up outside, but there's nothing like something really pretty to wear while you're lounging around at home. — Hannah Weil, associate editor 17 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Headpieces are such a fun way to add something new and unexpected to a party look; not only would this Free People Multi-Chain Halo ($48) look amazing with an LBD, but it would also jazz up a t-shirt and leather leggings for a casual night out. — Britt Stephens, assistant editor 18 / 19 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I love understated gold jewelry that still happens to make a statement, and because I'm feeling very inspired by Lily Collins' British Fashion Awards accessorizing, I want to try out the bolder ear cuff look. This Topshop cross-chain ear cuff ($20) will single-handedly jazz up my holiday-party outfits with a subtly edgy twist. — Marisa Tom, associate editor 19 / 19 3 7 16 0 0 Read More Holiday FashionWinter FashionEditor's PickMust HavesShopping winter fashion 8 Eyes Are Better Than 2 For Lucy Liu 3 weeks ago Dear Tights, We're Just Not That Into You 5/02 This Model-Off-Duty Outfit Is Ridiculously Easy to Copy 2/18 Meet the Coat You'll Never Get Tired Of 2/17 Sales We Just Found (and Can Hardly Believe!) 2/16 How to Style Winter Boots! 2/15 Holiday Fashion Prepare Yourself For Cannes With a History of the Festival's Best Dresses 5/14 The Easiest Way to Get Carrie Bradshaw's Shoes Into Your Closet 2/14 10 Stars Who Met Their New Year's Resolution of Looking Hot 1/12 End the Year on a High Note With This Clock-Stopping Outfit 12/31/13 16 Accessories to Ensure a Sparkling Start to 2014 12/30/13 Shop These 4 NYE Dresses Right Now! 12/30/13 Get a Personalized Fashion & Beauty Newsletter!

NEW YORK — We're heading into Day 4 of the AMR Corp. bankruptcy hearing in New York.
On Wednesday, a top financial adviser testified that he thinks the parent company of American Airlines will consider a merger as part of its reorganization plan. But David Resnick said the company should form a standalone restructuring proposal.
The president of US Airways also said Wednesday that merging with AMR would save more than a billion dollars a year and add revenue to the proposed combination.
The bankruptcy hearing continues through Friday.
