Life Cycles: How Plants and Animals Change
An Easy-to-Use Science
This 20-minute musical play can be done as a complete play, skits, reader's theater, or you can just sing songs. No music or drama experience needed!
Naturally a play about life cycles will include singing tadpoles and dancing mice. But as your students learn about metamorphosis, the food chain, shared characteristics, the plant cycle, nourishment (water, food, light), and adaptation to the environment in this fun show, they'll also meet butterflies who don't want to grow up, snakes who want to pollinate flowers, and even some slimy biologists! Catchy tunes and clever lyrics reinforce the curriculum.
Life Cycles: How Plants and Animals Change is a great complement to your curriculum resources in elementary school science. And, like all of our plays, this show can be used to improve reading, vocabulary, reading comprehension, performance and music skills, class camaraderie and teamwork, and numerous social skills (read about it!) -- all while enabling students to be part of a truly fun and creative experience they will never forget!

"I have been directing plays and coaching students' speeches for 19 years now. About 2 and a half years ago I 'found' your company and have never looked anywhere else since. My students and I adore all of your plays! My students have performed in too many of them to count. Just last month, I directed my second graders in the Noun and Verb Mini and last week my first graders performed your Life Cycles play. Both shows were a tremendous success. The parents said that the Life Cycles play was the best we ever did! Although it was spectacular, I have to admit that they have all turned out wonderful. My only fear is that we are running out of your shows to produce! Your company has been a gem for me. I love the writing and adore the catchy songs. My fifth graders have performed in both of your Character Matters plays with rave reviews. Honestly, every one of your shows has been a hit. Thank you for doing your job so well and making mine a lot easier. Please keep those plays coming!"
---Deni Cavrell, Drama Teacher, Portledge School, Locust Valley, NY
"Life Cycles was perfect for my entire life science unit. It has fun, memorable songs that are extremely educational. The kids were randomly breaking out in song all year, especially 'Metamorphosis.' Some if the dialogue was a little difficult for my English learners, but they really enjoyed trying the long words. They struggled a little during it to get the expression right, but after the Musical, I found that they really tried to pay attention to punctuation, italics, and other cues to read with expression."
---Krista VanderLugt, Teacher (1st grade), The American International School of Vilnius, Lithuania
"I really liked it. Every student was able to shine for their own song. It was academic so we were able to combine the play with what were learning in science. Many teachers in our audience commented on the great dialogue. Kids loved the butterflies as they metamorphosized. We had simple, simple costumes. The animals vs. plants song was a huge hit! I can't stop singing 'Predator or Prey.' It really reinforced what we had been learning."
---Judy Burgenbauch, Teacher (2nd grade) Mammoth Elementary, Mammoth Lakes, CA
"Just performed in our school garden by our third graders this week. Great songs--- lyrics teach/reinforce concepts and -MU-PRI" is fun. They loved it!"
---Beth Riggs, Teacher (3rd grade) Orchard School, Rio Linda, CA
"Excellent. Kids loved it!"
---Elizabeth Moyer, Teacher (2nd grade) Stone Ranch School, San Diego, CA
"We had a great time putting on the show (this is my 5th show in two years with second grade!). The songs are a little more difficult in the play, but all all your plays, once you learn them then you can't get them out of your head for weeks."
---Meredith Fisher, Teacher (2nd grade) Evergreen Charter School, Asheville, NC
"We loved it; the tips included were useful. Thanks for making to so easy, fun and successful for the students and me! This play went hand in hand with our science standards. Thanks for making learning fun."
---Nancy Murray, Teacher (2nd grade) Sandpiper School, Redwood Shores, CA
"A great ensemble show. You can have all students engaged most of the time by giving each student more than one part. Great songs and music."
---Sharon Silverglate, Teacher (3rd grade), Mar Vista Elementary, Aptos, CA

(CLASS enters and faces audience)
Song 1 - Listen now!
Here's our show about some life cycles
How plants and critters grow
Here's our show about some life cycles
We'll tell you what we know.
We've been learning such a lot lately
Our brains are gonna sprout
Here's our show about some life cycles
It's gonna knock you out.
We are talking 'bout the stages
As an organism ages
And the changes it goes through
It's a basic introduction
From the birth to reproduction
And we're singing it for you.
Here's our show about some life cycles
How plants and critters grow
Here's our show about some life cycles
We'll tell you what we know.
HOST #1: Good afternoon [morning/evening]. Welcome to "Know Your Life Cycles."
HOST #2: Let's get started up close and personal with a look at the
life cycle of a
monarch butterfly.
HOST #3: We're here on milkwood leaf with some recently laid butterfly eggs.
HOST #1 (to BUTTERFLIES): Tell us---how's the cycle going?
Song 2 - Listen now!
I don't wanna grow up
I like it here in my egg
Don't have to brush my teeth
Don't have to clean my leaf.
I don't wanna grow up
I guess I don't have a choice
Bustin' out from our eggs
Look ma we all got legs!
Don't know why or how
We're caterpillars now.
I don't wanna grow up
I like it here on my leaf
Munching on this milkwood
Us teenagers have it good.
I don't wanna grow up
I guess I don't have a choice
Spinning all afternoon
Trapped here in this cocoon.
BUTTERFLIES and CHORUS:
Don't know why or how
The chrysalis stage now.
Guess it's time to grow up
I wanna spread my new wings
Time now to blow this town
Tired of hanging around.
Glad I finally grew up
Hey look at me I'm a beaut
Look ma I got a tongue
Nectar yeah here I come!
BUTTERFLIES and CHORUS:
Don't know why or how
We're butterflying now.
We're butterflying now.
(BUTTERFLIES exit. FISH, TADPOLES, RABBITS, and PLANTS enter, glancing
cautiously all around.)
HOST #2: Wasn't that fascinating?
HOST #3: We're here now with some plants and animals.
(to ANIMALS and PLANTS)
Excuse me---you're looking a little nervous. Is everything all right?
FISH: It's the food chain.
RABBITS (scream in terror): The FOOD CHAIN! Run for your lives!!
(RABBITS start racing around crazily)
TADPOLE (after a few seconds): Stop that!
(RABBITS stop)
We're just TALKING about the food chain.
RABBITS: Oh. Sorry.
PLANT: We're all a bit on edge. It's this predator and prey thing---eat or be eaten.
FISH: It makes it very hard to relax and enjoy a good book.
Song 3 - Listen now!
Predator or prey?
Which is it today?
It's a nervous game we play
Predator, predator or prey?
I'm a fish and I have found a rule that must be followed
To swallow other fish is much more fun than being swallowed.
I'm a little tadpole and I rarely am the winner
I try to dine but soon I find I'm someone else's dinner.
Predator or prey?
Which is it today?
It's a nervous game we play
Predator, predator or prey?
We are rabbits and it seems the world is out to get us
We're terrified by everything---look out, here comes some lettuce!
We are plants and have you noticed how the food chain treats us?
Here at the bottom of the food chain---everybody eats us!
FISH, TADPOLES, RABBITS, PLANTS, and CHORUS:
Predator or prey?
Which is it today?
It's a nervous game we play
Predator, predator or prey?
Predator, predator or prey?
(FISH, TADPOLES, RABBITS, and PLANTS exit. BIOLOGISTS enter.)
We're lucky to have with us on the show some famous biologists.
HOST #2: They'll help explain some of the mysteries of the life cycle. So tell us...
(HOST is interrupted by SNAKES rushing onto the stage)
SNAKE #1: Look out, snakes coming through.
SNAKE #2: Pardon us, pardon us. We're migrating.
BIOLOGIST #1 and #2: Snakes! I HATE snakes!
(SNAKES stop)
HOST #3: I thought biologists liked animals.
BIOLOGIST #1: We do. But snakes. Yech!
SNAKE #1: We get that all the time.
SNAKE #2: We feel the same way about biologists.
(SNAKES start to exit)
SNAKE #1: Yeah. They just sort of sneak up on you.
SNAKE #2: And they're so slimy to touch.
(SNAKES exit)
BIOLOGIST #2 (shouting after SNAKES): Oh yeah? Well snakes don't migrate!
SNAKES (from off stage): Just watch us, big shot!
HOST #1 (to BIOLOGISTS): So, tell our audience: how can you tell what
kind of
offspring a plant or animal will have?
BIOLOGIST #1: That's an easy one.
BIOLOGIST #2: You're talking about shared characteristics.
Song 4 - Listen now!
A cat will have kittens
A mouse will have mice
A fish will have fishes
A louse will have lice.
An eagle has eaglets
A dog will have dogs
They're puppies not guppies or wet pollywogs.
Offspring resemble their parents
Animals flowers and fruit
Offspring resemble their parents
Thank goodness all parents are cute
Thank goodness all parents are cute.
The seeds from your apples
Become apple trees
And daisies make daisies
And peas produce peas.
An oak was an acorn
In its early days
A carrot inherits its carrot-like ways.
BIOLOGISTS and CHORUS:
Offspring resemble their parents
Animals flowers and fruit
Offspring resemble their parents
Thank goodness all parents are cute
Thank goodness all parents are cute.

For Bay High baseball player Thomas Johnstone, the quote "hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard" couldn't be more true. Thomas as spent countless extra hours on the diamond, and now, it's all paid off. The senior went from having less then a dozen at bats his junior year, to leading the team offensively from the four hole in his final season.
"Being out here when no one else is here, being the guy that's here early, being the last guy to leave," said head coach Daniel Davidson of Thomas' work ethic. "It's great for him. I'm happy to see him have this success this year."
It's success that's translated into a leadership role as a co-captain for the young Bay squad- a team that boasts just three seniors.
"It's kind of tough because everybody's young," said Thomas. "You have to take the respect instead of ask for it. A lot of the younger guys look up to me, and I feel like a coach, it's kind of weird."
The center fielder's hard work on the field translates to the classroom- where he boasts a 3.8 GPA in Bay High's AICE program, and has already completed 40 hours of college credits.
"Honestly, I don't think I was allowed to play video games or go to practice or anything until I got my homework done," said Thomas.
"It's hard to explain to them how hard it is to go to college and be successful and play baseball if you don't start it here in high school," said Coach Davidson. "If you don't put academics first, it's going to come back and bite you in the end. That's something that Thomas and his family have stressed from day one that I met them."
It's putting school first that's gotten Thomas to his ultimate goal of playing baseball at the next level, as earlier this month, Thomas inked to play ball with Berry College- and he's also received nearly $70,000 in scholarship money based on his academics.
"Being able to play college baseball is a dream come true," said Thomas. "All the work pays off. Balancing school, and keeping a high GPA is pretty tantalizing, but it can be done."
"That's all attributed to his hard work," said Coach Davidson. "If he keeps doing that for four years of college, he'll be a very successful college baseball player."
Not bad for someone who just a year ago boasted less then a dozen at bats on his stat sheet. Thomas said he wants to study business or pre-law in college, as Berry has a 95% acceptance rate into grad school.

FDA Public Health Advisory Subjject: Safe and Appropriate Use of Influenza Drugs
12 January 2000
Dear Health Care Professional:
Diagnostic and therapeutic decisions for patients with symptoms of influenza involve many factors, including consideration of whether to prescribe one of the four drugs currently approved for treatment of influenza. Two of these drugs, amantadine (Symmetrel® and others) and rimantadine (Flumadine®), have been available for many years in the United States. The recent approval of, and promotional activities for, two additional drugs, zanamivir (Relenza®) and oseltamivir (Tamiflu®), have increased attention to, and interest in, the role of specific anti-viral therapy in this disease.
Given that influenza is now occurring in many areas of the country, FDA is issuing this public health advisory to health care professionals to remind prescribers of important clinical decisions that need to be made when considering use of anti-viral drugs for treatment of patients with signs and symptoms of influenza.
The following three considerations are important primarily for two reasons. First, they are important in identifying patients who are appropriate candidates for anti-viral therapy. Secondly, they are important in recognizing patients who may be at risk for serious adverse outcomes from other non-influenza diagnoses or from adverse events potentially related to anti-influenza therapy.
- Vaccination remains the primary method of preventing and controlling influenza.
Always consider the possibility of primary or concomitant bacterial infection when making treatment decisions for patients with suspected influenza.
When initiation of anti-viral therapy alone is considered on a presumptive basis, ongoing clinical assessment and diagnostic evaluation of the patient continues to be important. FDA has received several reports of patients with serious bacterial infections who initially had influenza-like symptoms and whose bacterial infections progressed during treatment with antiviral drugs alone. Prescribers should be aware that patients with severe influenza-like illness, especially patients with chronic medical conditions or complicated manifestations of acute illness, might have significant bacterial infections instead of, or in addition to, viral illness. These anti-viral products have no activity against bacterial infections. Appropriate anti-bacterial therapy should be initiated whenever bacterial infection is suspected.
- Use special caution if prescribing Relenza® to patients with underlying asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
FDA has received several reports of deterioration of respiratory function following inhalation of Relenza® in patients with underlying asthma or COPD. Causal relationships with drug therapy are extremely difficult to evaluate in the setting of complex medical processes, but the possibility can not be excluded that an acute decline in respiratory function may contribute to a fatal outcome in patients with a complicated pre-existing medical history and pulmonary compromise. The Relenza® package insert contains important precautionary information regarding risks of bronchospasm in patients with underlying airway disease and regarding the lack of proven efficacy in such persons. If a decision is made to prescribe Relenza® for a patient with underlying airway disease, this should be done with careful consideration of the potential risks and benefits. In such patients, Relenza® should be used under conditions of careful monitoring, proper observation and appropriate supportive care, including the availability of short-acting bronchodilators.
The evidence for use of anti-viral drugs to treat influenza is based principally on studies in patients with uncomplicated influenza. There is not clear evidence for safety and efficacy in persons with underlying respiratory or cardiac diseases, or in persons with complications of an acute influenza episode (for example, viral or bacterial pneumonia). Such patients may require extensive supportive and adjunctive care. Anti-viral therapy has not been shown to reduce the need for such care and monitoring.
All health care professionals are encouraged to report any serious adverse event associated with the use of anti-viral drugs for influenza to the FDA's MedWatch program at 1-800-FDA-1088 (fax 1-800-FDA-0178), or to the respective pharmaceutical manufacturers:
Flumadine® (rimantadine), Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 1-800-678-1605
Relenza® (zanamivir), GlaxoWellcome, Inc. 1-800-825-5249
Symmetrel® (amantadine; also available in generic forms), Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 1-800-462-3636
Tamiflu® (oseltamivir), Roche Laboratories, Inc., 1-800-526-6367

It is important to scan all vehicle seat positions once you find a heat signature on an empty seat inside a vehicle. Do not be distracted by discovering your first warm seat and stopping your TIC scanning. Remember that additional occupants may have been in the vehicle and need to be accounted for as well. At the scene, the TIC can also be valuable to scan the area immediately surrounding the crash scene. In a rural setting, for example, the TIC may be able to see the heat signature of a patient in a field of high grass or a thick wooded area where they normally may be hidden from sight otherwise.

Using member's vehicles, conduct training with the department's TIC to determine its sensitivity to heat differences on various vehicle seats. Have a member sit in a seat for a given period of time and then use the TIC to observe the seat once your member gets off the seat. Experiment with cloth-covered seats compared to vinyl or leather seat upholstery.
Try this drill in daylight with the sun shining on the seat cushion to determine the approximate life expectancy of the heat signature once the occupant exits and the seat is in direct sunlight. During cool nights, there is a longer timeframe in which you have to work with the TIC and still get reliable results. Warm weather and direct sunlight can seriously shorten your effective time. Experiment and find out for yourself. n
TASK: The rescue team shall conduct a skills practice session using a thermal imaging camera to observe the heat signature of a vehicle seat under various conditions.

There is a required security deposit of $600.00 on each reservation. This deposit requirement may be waived by payment of a non-refundable Limited Damage Waiver (LDW) fee of $40.00. The option of purchasing a non-refundable LDW protects you from being charged for up to $1,000.00 of accidental/unintentional damage that may occur during your occupancy. You remain responsible for any damage, repair, or replacement expenses exceeding $1,000.00. All reservations include the LDW option.
To decline this option, a security deposit of $600.00 will be secured against your credit card at the time of booking. Per North Carolina statutes, deposits may be applied to actual damages, theft, or unpaid charges caused by the Tenant, their family, and guests.
Upon arrival, please report any problems or damages or we must assume these occurred during your stay.
Deposits may also be used for lost keys/lockout charges, movie charges, check fees, having unauthorized pets on premises, smoking, trash removal, excessive cleaning fees, for expenses resulting from agreement violations or for too many guests.
Charges could exceed the deposit amount and may result in a larger charge to your credit card.
After your stay, upon inspection of the property, we will refund the Security Deposit of $600.00 less any applicable charges towards it within 45 days.
No indoor smoking is allowed. Any evidence of smoking inside the cabin will cause the entire Damage Deposit to be forfeited.

Reservation Changes:
Changing the dates or cabin which you have reserved may incur a $75.00 Change Fee and is at the broker-in-charge's discretion.
Inclement Weather:
When making reservations during the winter months, you must consider the possibilities that inclement winter weather will affect your stay. During the months of November through March, dangerous snow or ice storms are possible in the Western North Carolina Mountains.
◾Check the weather forecast and road conditions before you leave home. Here is a link for your convenience. Enter 28713 for the zip code.
◾Make sure you have in your car: warm clothing, blankets, boots, food, flashlights and water.
◾Keep your car full of gas as well.
◾Plan to arrive before dark as our mountain roads do not have street lights and road conditions tend to deteriorate at night.
◾Purchase your groceries before you arrive at your cabin.
◾We recommend you come prepared with a proper vehicle for driving on mountain roads and snow and ice. Minivans do not do well on winter mountain roads.
Please understand that we cannot be responsible for the conditions of the roads or driveways nor will we reimburse for towing or scraping of roads.
If a strong winter storm (snow or ice) is forecasted for the area of our rental cabins, we reserve the right to proactively cancel reservations on cabins that, at our discretion, may have their road condition reduced to limited or no access by snow or ice. This is strictly a road safety issue – our first and foremost concern is for your safety and the safety of our staff.
At the time of the cancellation, we will contact the guest listed on the reservation by phone and email. We will make every attempt to move you to a safer cabin for the same dates as the original reservation. Or, we will allow you to reschedule your reservation at the same cabin within the next 180 days. Our cancellation policy of NO REFUNDS is in force for any cancellations within 30 days of the reservation.
In the event that you so choose to keep your reservation after we have advised you NOT TO COME, you are responsible for your own safety. We will not be held liable and will not refund or reschedule your stay. You may also not be allowed to enter the cabin should you be able to get to it – if you access the cabin after we have cancelled your reservation without our permission, you will be trespassing.

Seconds after the ball descended from the sky in NYC, my mind began to wander to the world of language. As my surrounding company began to whisper 2010 resolutions, I started to consider which word I should choose to define my new year. After some quick yet careful thinking, I selected "fresh" from the imaginary word bubble that was lingering near my mind and bouncing syllables around like plinko (Price Is Right reference, anyone?).
"Fresh" at first seems like an obvious choice as we tend to approach the new year hoping for a fresh start or a fresh perspective, but this word means much more to my definition of 2010. I intend to push myself personally and professionally to seek out fresh, creative experiences that excite my senses. There is something so vibrant, energetic and hopeful about this very word. I am not sure I could live without it this year. As I tattoo it in my mind, it will be a constant reminder to look at my world through an adjusted set of eyes.
But before I begin to write my manifesto for the new year, let's take a closer look at what "fresh" truly means. According to Merriam-Webster, "fresh" is defined as:
1 a : having its original qualities unimpaired: as (1) : full of or renewed in vigor : refreshed <rose fresh from a good night's sleep> (2) : not stale, sour, or decayed <fresh bread> (3) : not faded <the lessons remain fresh in her memory> (4) : not worn or rumpled <a fresh white shirt> b : not altered by processing <fresh vegetables>
2 a : not salt b (1) : free from taint : pure <fresh air> (2) of wind : moderately strong
3 a (1) : experienced, made, or received newly or anew <form fresh friendships> (2) : additional, another <a fresh start> b : original, vivid <a fresh portrayal> c : lacking experience : raw d : newly or just come or arrived <fresh from school> e : having the milk flow recently established <a fresh cow>
4 [probably by folk etymology from German frech] : disposed to take liberties : impudent <don't get fresh with me>
5 slang : fashionable, cool
Just say "fresh" out loud and make to sure to let the "sh" linger and extend. I feel as though I am breathing out new life into my 2010 as the prolonged "sh" is spoken. Yes, I love the word that much.
What word will define your 2010?

The father of accused murder suspect Konrad Schafer, the 15-year-old boy charged in two separate murder investigations in Osceola County, was released from the Polk County Jail.
Lothar Hans Schafer Jr., 57, faces charges of culpable negligence and allowing unlawful possession of a firearm. Police say he purchased a .45 caliber Hi Point carbine rifle which was used in multiple shooting incidents, including a deadly Poinciana home invasion and a drive-by shooting in Kissimmee, which police are calling a random act of violence.
Police say Konrad and three others are linked to the deaths of Eric Roopnarine, 22, and David Guerrero, 17. The deadly shootings, which occurred days apart, were just two of over a dozen non-fatal shootings reported across Osceola County in June and July.
A warrant had been issued for the elder Schafer's arrest early Tuesday out of Osceola County. He was arrested around 8 p.m. on Tuesday evening
He was being held on $1,250 bond.

We love Celebrity, with a few caveats. Corners are being cut so some of the niceties we had become used to are no longer there, such as water pitchers in the cabins, dessert tray display in the main dining room, etc. Minor things, but they set Celebrity apart from what we consider "lesser" cruiselines.
We've been on 2 sister ships of the Infinity (Summit and Constellation) so we knew our way around pretty well. We knew the ship had been in drydock for Solsticizing last November, so we expected it to be in tiptop shape. It wasn't. The Solsticizing added the Aquaclass cabins and Qsine (profit centers) but there was no refurbishing of the rest of the ship. There were holes in the floor under the carpet in the Trellis dining room, worn furniture in the United States dining room and several lounge areas, cracked tiles and worn grouting in our shower area, rust on the steps to the Thalassotherapy pool (and one of the 2 bubblers did not work at all during the cruise)and other places around the exterior, dirty windows, dusty blinds in the USS dining room, etc. This ship needs work!
Food was OK, not spectacular. The lobster on final formal night was overcooked but the beef wellington was superb! We were assigned a table with other Elite cruisers, which worked extremely well. We had a lot in common and many things to talk about. We sat together in the Elite lounge every night and really got to know each other. The hors d'oeuvres were not as good as on previous cruises but were adequate, and, after all, they were complimentary so I'm not complaining. The drink list was the same as previously. The perks of being Elite are one of the reasons we keep coming back to Celebrity.
The entertainment was not the best we've seen but certainly way better than what we saw on the Ruby Princess last January. The production shows on the Infinity were excellent. The entirchment programs, especially Captain Larry Rudner, were excellent. We've seen his programs on other ships and always enjoy them.
Internet access was extremely poor. We had trouble connecting from our cabin (had a signal but very very slow), so we gave up and went to the ILounge. It would take quite a while and many tries to get connected there (either Internet was down or there were too many people connected, no open ports). Lots of people complained and demanded refunds. I heard a rumor that the ship had lost an antenna during a big storm in Cabo but I can't verify that.
I now have a new appreciation for what "rainy season" means. (We usually cruise November-February.) Rained in Seattle. Poured in Cabo. Rained in Puerto Vallarta. Rained in the Canal. Rained in Fort Lauderdale, delaying our disembarkation so we almost missed our flight out. Disembarkation was delayed by over 2 hours as the union longshoremen would not remove the luggage from the ship due to the weather. We spent the time in the Elite waiting area with our new friends, but there was no food or beverage available after 8:00 am.
All in all, we enjoyed the relaxed pace and many sea days of this itinerary. It was our 4th time through the Canal and it still is a wonderful trip. We are eagerly awaiting our next Celebrity cruise (but it won't be on the Infinity until they fix it up). We hope to see some of our new cruise friends again on a future cruise.

Can Fibre Channel survive Ethernet's assault?
Expensive and specialised Fibre Channel SANs have been under assault as companies consolidate data traffic over Ethernet. With Fibre Channel disks already largely eliminated from the market by SAS, can networking gear be far behind?
Macbook Air could foretell death of hard drives
Apple's decision to use SSD technology rather than a hard drive in the new Macbook Air - and Steve Jobs' pronouncement that it represents the future of notebooks - could hasten the replacement of traditional drives with NAND flash technology.
Fibre Channel vs. iSCSI: The war continues
In the beginning there was Fibre Channel (FC), and it was good. If you wanted a true SAN - versus shared direct-attached SCSI storage - FC is what you got. But FC was terribly expensive, requiring dedicated switches and host bus adapters, and it was difficult to support in geographically distributed environments. Then, around six or seven years ago, iSCSI hit the SMB market in a big way and slowly began its climb into the enterprise.

Via Joe Santos :
We are testing a timing chip system and need some data before the next Wed night event. If you think you will make it to the Tuesday night event, shoot me a quick note back so we have an idea for numbers in attendance. Below is all the standard information for the TT.
The TT starts at 6:00pm. Try to show up by around 5:30 so you can sign up and warm up. If you cannot arrive until after the start, that is not a big deal, as we can fit you in at the end. The TT starts on Putah Creek Road, about 100m west of the intersection of Stevenson Bridge Rd and Putah Creek Rd. This is where we sign up riders as well. When waiting for your start time or after the race, please do not congregate on the road. There is plenty of room to stand off to the side where we will not block traffic. Additionally, since the road is not closed to traffic, please be sure to ride all the way to the right side of the road. Please avoid parking on Putah Creek Road and the section of Stevenson Bridge Road near the Putah Creek intersection. There is an attached map - try to park in the area marked with green.
Riders are sent off in 30 second intervals. At sign in, you will be assigned a number. As you come across the finish line, be sure to call out your number so we can record your time. You can get your results either after the event or wait for them to be e-mailed out.
And the final rule, especially for all you PCSD veterans...look around, and if you see someone you do not recognize introduce yourself and welcome them into your group. Bike racing has a crappy, unfriendly, unwelcoming - yet well deserved - reputation. It doesn't do anything to help our sport. The great majority of PCSD attendees have always been incredibly friendly and cordial to all riders, which I think has directly contributed to the event's success. Keep it up.
Course Description
The course is 5 miles out, has a 180 degree turnaround, and is 5 miles back. The turnaround is marked 100m ahead, and there is someone flagging riders at the turn so as not to miss it. Although deadpan flat, there is often times significant wind.
From Sacramento:
Take I-80 west
A few miles west of Davis, Take the PEDRICK ROAD exit, EXIT 67.
Keep LEFT at the fork to go on SIEVERS RD/CR-436 for 2.8 miles
Turn RIGHT onto STEVENSON BRIDGE RD for 2.8 miles
From San Francisco:
Take I-80 east
A couple miles east of Dixon, Take the PEDRICK ROAD exit, EXIT 67.
Keep LEFT at the fork to go on SIEVERS RD/CR-436 for 2.8 miles
Turn RIGHT onto STEVENSON BRIDGE RD for 2.8 miles

Always – Erasure.
posted by qtjoel on 03.20.10 at 7:59 pm
If you've been playing Robot Unicorn Attack (which I highly recommend (but not if you're studying)) than you have proably heard the song "Always" by Erasure about 50x. It's also probably stuck in your head and you're thinking "This is by far the most awesome song ever". Well above is the music video for it... What does it mean exactly? WHO CARES, IT'S AWESOME. Check out the lyrics below.
Open your eyes I see
Your eyes are open
Wear no disguise for me
Come into the open
When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame
Always, I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony,
harmony oh love
Melting the ice for me
Jump into the ocean
Hold back the tide I see
Your love in motion
When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame
If you don't even watch the video and read the lyrics, you would feel like someone was high while writing this song.
Don't lie...This is exactly how you felt when you heard this while playing Robot Unicorn Attack....

Gabriela Rivera
University of California, San Diego, Political Science and International Relations
"Prior to starting the Master of Public Affairs program I was a community organizer. I focused on several aspects of civic engagement including: political campaigns, family reunification around issues of deportation within immigrant families, and access to opportunities in higher education for under represented/non traditional student populations. Gaining this type of experience has motivated me to pursue a Master's degree in Public Affairs because I eventually want to create a non-profit organization that helps disadvantaged communities access higher education. I want to ensure equality and justice for those members of society who may be ignored due to their financial and/or legal status, or English competency.
One important aspect about the MoPA program is the internship that is required during the last year. Being able to engage in this valuable internship experience, within San Francisco's diverse ethnic and cultural landscape, will compliment my current skills, expand my experience, and enhance my understanding of inter-cultural community engagement.
I enjoy being in the small classroom environment because it allows for me to get to know my professors and my peers. I don't feel like I am number in a large classroom. Additionally, all of my professors come from different backgrounds and actively engage us in the material."
Katie Scally
University of Portland, Political Science and Communication Studies
"After interning at all three levels of California government, including Senator Feinstein's office in Washington, D.C., I found a passion for local government, politics and public policy. I joined the MoPA Program to learn as much as I could, gain experience in the field, and work with people from I could learn new and different ideas, perspectives, and areas in public affairs. I specifically chose this program because it combines public policy, governmental affairs, law, politics, and campaigns all into one single program. I wanted to attend USF for the university's commitment to the common good, democracy, and social justice. An added benefit is working with, and learning from, fellow classmates who are passionate about the same issues that I am."
Alexander Archer
University of San Francisco, Politics with Criminal Justice Minor
"My past experience included various internships at local government and nonprofits. These experiences and training spurred me to acquire additional skills and knowledge to make me an authentic and professional leader in whatever community I end up working. The interdisciplinary form of politics that the MoPA program provides made it an easy choice. I chose the Public Affairs Program because it strives itself on creating ethical public officials. I felt that the mission of the McCarthy Center along with the supportive staff and faculty would help. My favorite experience in the MoPA Program has been the faculty. They all have unique stories – and with small class sizes we really have the opportunity to discuss and deeply explore subject matter."
Mike Calevski
Kent State University, Political Science
"As a Political Science major in undergrad and after 6 years of working in the public sector, I decided to continue my education to strengthen my background as well as develop skills in additional areas. I chose the Master of Public Affairs because of the wide range of classes offered, with the skill sets and knowledge that they involve. I've benefitted from the small class sizes – and the rich background and expertise of the professors."

|St. John's welcomes new pastor
|Sunday, July 14, 2013 11:54 PM
Staff Writer
Rev. Reinhart had his first day on the job at here on July 8 and he is also serving at St. John the Baptist Parish in Landeck.
Reinhart was born and raised in Bucyrus and graduated from The Ohio State University, where he studied architecture and then worked in an architecture office in Columbus for some time.
He entered seminary at St. Meinrad Seminary in Indiana and was ordained as a priest in 1998.
Since then, Reinhart has served at parishes and Catholic schools all over Northwest Ohio.
For the past four years, Reinhart served as a military chaplain in the U.S. Air Force. He traveled to South Dakota, England and Afghanistan to provide religious services to members of the military and their families. As a chaplain, Reinhart said he provided counseling, military services and officiated burial services for those in the military.
Bishop Leonard Blair asked Reinhart to come to Delphos in April and Reinhart said "of course." After his release from active duty in the U.S. Air Force, he made his way to Delphos.
"I look forward to being in an area similar to where I grew up," Reinhart said. "I'm just a farm boy, so this is what I'm familiar with."
He is also excited to work in the school and said he believes in Catholic schools.
"I'm looking forward to getting to know the people and praying with them," Reinhart said. "I'm just ready to continue to grow spiritually."
The Delphos Knights of Columbus hosted a meet and greet Sunday for Reinhart for members of the church and community to get to know the new pastor.
During the meet and greet, Tom Odenweller presented a check to St. John's Principal Adam Lee for $10,500 from the 25th annual K of C/St. John's Golf Outing. The golf outing is hosted to benefit St. John's school and has raised about $10,000 each year for the school, Odenweller said.

Zesty Onion Burgers Recipe
My mother found this simple recipe on a soup can over 40 years ago. The oniony sandwiches starred many of our Sunday suppers. I carry on the tradition today, making them for my husband and our two grown sons.
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 can (10-1/2 ounces) condensed onion soup, undiluted
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
- Dash pepper
- 6 hamburger buns, split
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- In a large skillet, cook beef and celery over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the soup, water, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Spread cut sides of buns with butter; toast the buns. Top with beef mixture. Yield: 4 servings.
