Who Are the U.S. Americans?
Rebecca Plaskitt's 4th graders study immigration through story
from the Spring 2009 Caller
By Nadine Fiedler
To the Catlin Gabel 4th grade, immigrants are not just odd people who speak funny languages—because the immigrant's stories have become the students' own stories. These students create characters from immigrant groups, then track them starting with their arrival in the U.S. and ending with their new lives as they establish themselves. By the end of the study, they care about their character, they understand the historical perspective of immigration, and they come to see the commonalities among all of us in this country—not only the differences.
The structure for this study comes from the Storyline method, in which teacher Rebecca Plaskitt is an international expert. "The basis of Storyline is that children learn through the power of story, with characters, settings, ways of life, incidents, and conclusions," she says. "By making characters they are more likely to become emotionally involved in what happens and in their character's experiences."
Throughout the Storyline, students in both Rebecca's and Mariam Higgins's 4th grade classes pick an ethnic group and gender for the character they choose, based on whom they think has the best chance to make a life in a new country. They talk about the skills this person would need to get a job and get started, and they research their country of origin.
The students make 3-D faces for their characters, and dress them in the clothing they might have worn upon arrival in New York. In the next part of the Storyline, students are randomly assigned to roles as immigrants or workers at Ellis Island. As staffers, the students might work in security or baggage, or as doctors, psychiatrists, or money changers.
"We talk about the significance of feeling like they don't have any choices," says Rebecca. "We ask the kids playing immigrants how they feel about the workers who will make decisions for them and maybe send them back home. We ask the workers to reflect on their role: do they like being able to control someone else?" And for one eagerly anticipated day, the inside and the outside of the classroom becomes Ellis Island, and each student plays a role in this tense chapter of immigration.
The drama begins when the costumed immigrants disembark outside with their bundles and carefully researched documents. The workers, equally prepared with official procedures and documentation, are anxious about what might happen during their shift, when they may admit or detain the immigrants.
The process includes lots of reflection about what they've been through. At the end, the students write and act out a script about their characters getting work and a new home. At a culminating presentation to parents, students share the immigrants' story, including a narrated slideshow of the events at their Ellis Island and entries from journals they've kept for their character.
The Storyline experience engages the 4th graders in high-level thinking by asking them to build on new information and create something entirely new. And through the process, they also learn history, compassion, and understanding.
Rebecca Plaskitt
Rebecca Plaskitt, a Catlin Gabel teacher since 2004, has presented Storyline courses at conferences in Europe, and she was honored as outstanding student teacher of the year by Phi Delta Kappa after receiving her teaching degree. "I love being with kids and creating. I've never taught two years the same way. I really like how Catlin Gabel considers the whole child, not just academic ability but emotions, and confidence, and how the child fits in the group. Everyone is so willing to help, and everyone knows the kids so well. The one thing that's different here from most other schools is that you can love the children here: it's totally okay and a great part of teaching," she says.

ODU: Navy engineers should see the big picture
In business, the adage says, the customer is always right.
That doesn't exactly fly at Old Dominion University, where engineering instructors are working with Navy civilian engineers on an approach that stresses how to define a problem before rushing to "solve" the wrong one.
"We kind of have a commandment," says Kevin MacG. Adams. "The customer never knows their problem."
Adams is a principal research scientist at the National Centers for System of Systems Engineering at ODU, and no, he doesn't think his customers are stupid.
In fact, he and other ODU officials say they have been impressed with Navy engineers and technicians who have been exposed to the philosophy.
But think of what happens when someone visits a doctor, he says. The patient may feel lousy and blame it on dinner, but it takes a doctor to step back, give it a longer look and say, no, you have diabetes.
That bigger-picture philosophy is at the heart of the "system of systems" approach.

Benek Lisefski
Benek Lisefski, Website Developer and Designer
MUM Degree:
Bachelor of Fine Arts,
Digital Media
, 2005
Work Style Preference:
Websites Worked On Professionally:
Auckland, New Zealand
Secret Ingredient:
Using Maharishi Vedic Science principles in his creative process
Favorite Concept:
White Space
Photography, exploring New Zealand, spending time with his family
There are website designers and there are
website designers
. While some have put up sites here and there, Benek Lisefski has worked on some 100 websites for clients in the U.S., U.K., New Zealand and Australia over a 10-year career in which he almost never lacks for work. Projects, in fact, usually find
, through word of mouth, referrals, and companies who surf their way to
his impressive portfolio
Benek Lisefski (li-sef-skee) is a kind of perfect storm of design and tech talent. While many pros specialize in HMTL coding, graphics design, user interfaces, SEO optimization, and jQuery interaction, Benek is a rarity in that he's expert in all of those areas.
Benek, 30, lives in Auckland, New Zealand with his wife and son. He grew up in Fairfield, and was MUM's class valedictorian in 2005 (along with his twin brother, Alek).
"I've always been artistic," he says. "When I was in middle school, one of our projects was to build basic web pages. I realized the power of how easily you can publish something online. I knew I wanted to make a living at it."
Benek landed his first web design jobs while at MUM, including one for a university in the Bahamas referred to him by MUM professor Gurdy Leete. After that, he built up a portfolio, which grew to include many dazzling, innovative websites.
Having to be constantly creative for clients, year after year, however, can have its challenges. "You don't want to be repeating yourself design-wise or doing the same things," he says. "I see a lot of web designers struggling to come up with new designs day in and day out; many of them burn out or stop enjoying the work.
"I still love it," says Benek, who has a defense against hitting that kind of wall. ""One of the reasons I can maintain a high level of creativity across my projects is due to TM and what I learned at MUM."
"The MUM education grounded me, gave me the self-assurance that comes from relying on a greater power source than just yourself," he says. "If you have some contact at that level, you can be more successful at what you do. Nature will support you. Things work out, even when they're challenging."
How exactly does Benek use the principles of
Maharishi Vedic Science
in his web design work?
He cites the example of white space. "Designers often feel like they have to fill up the screen and not leave anything empty," he says. "The empty space can be as important as the space that's filled with content. Vedic Science tells us there can be a lot of power in empty spaces. The relationship between something dynamic and something empty can be an effective design tool. It's something I use in my work all the time."
Benek is currently several months into an intense job developing an innovative web app with a San Francisco Bay Area-based start-up, among other projects.
When he's not in his home office working, Benek enjoys exploring the dramatic beauty of New Zealand locales with his wife, Jenny, a native Kiwi, and their one-year-son, Leo.
Benek's final word on MUM? "I'm super glad I went. It's one of the reasons I love what I'm doing so much."

SAP CRM is a great success for SAP. Statistics by market analysts such as AMR show that SAP presently ranks second in the worldwide CRM marketplace, and that SAP enjoys the strongest growth among CRM software vendors.
HP is the single source for everything you need to ensure the success of your end-to-end CRM solution. HP provides all the products and services and draws on a wealth of experience. More than a decade ago, HP began to deploy CRM solutions in its own business. The majority of SAP CRM solutions run on HP.

HP expertise ensures an optimized IT infrastructure. Flexible financing complement HP's rich offering.
Gearing up for growth - Experience shows that a step-by-step approach is best. The idea is to begin by addressing the most critical processes in one region, then gradually expand by taking what you achieve in that region and applying it internationally. You need to partner with a solution provider who will still be with you when it comes to the final stage of solution completion.
Multiple platforms -- Because of its architecture, SAP CRM usually is deployed in multiple-platform environments. Depending on which SAP CRM modules are used, companies that rely exclusively on UNIX systems may need to set up an ITS server that runs on Windows only. HP offers Windows, UNIX and Linux platforms from a single source for smooth integration and efficient, robust operations.
Going mobile – Many SAP CRM customers want to use mobile business functions – if these functions fit into their business models. HP is the worldwide market leader in mobile devices such as notebooks and mobile printers. HP offers special services for the provision of complete mobile deployment solutions from a single source. Our references underscore our success. A tight sales partner network ensures the fast replacement of appliances in the event of a fault. Equipment outsourcing (desktop management) also is available as an option.

If you want to start with a mobile sales or Internet sales scenario, HP's SAP CRM FastTrack service lets you to rapidly "go live" to demonstrate the benefits to your company. HP offers all services required to expand the solution in line with your corporate requirements.
Seamless integration – To get the maximum benefit from a CRM system, other solutions will have to be integrated. Even companies that rely on SAP will find that additional integration is required for any software other than SAP. HP Services has experienced specialists who will help you integrate associated applications. Enterprise integration is a key service arena for HP.

Alright, I've gone through these forums and other web sites for the last three hours trying to get the vibration function to work with ringtones. I simply can't get them to work, period.
I've tried setting the vibrator track to instrument MSB 121 LSB 6 Patch 124, to no avail. The MIP message has been inserted, as well. Yet, I still can't get the vibrator to function correctly. Additionally, the MIME type is set to audio/sp-midi for both mid and midi extensions on the web server.
Sample file: Download
mf2t dump of the file:
If I can just get this simple vibrator-only file to work, I can use this as a place to start from for my real MIDIs.Code:MFile 1 2 480 MTrk 0 SysEx f0 7f 7f 0b 03 01 f7 0 Tempo 500000 0 TimeSig 4/4 24 8 0 Meta TrkEnd TrkEnd MTrk 0 Meta TrkName "Vibra" 0 Param ch=4 con=0 val=121 0 Param ch=4 con=32 val=6 0 ProgCh ch=4 prog=124 240 On ch=4 note=50 vol=100 1920 Off ch=4 note=50 vol=100 3840 On ch=4 note=50 vol=100 5760 Off ch=4 note=50 vol=100 5760 Meta TrkEnd TrkEnd

Edit: Just wanted to add that I am using a Nokia 3595 U.S. phone. Doubt that would matter, though. Oh, and does anyone have a MIDI copy of the preinstalled Nokia tunes with vibra? I can probably start from there, too.

This route may be in a different sector as it is the first route to the right of Vitamin K. Vertical face to pumpy bulge, feels about the same as Pump Me Like A Shotgun in difficulty and has a similar style. The belayer should stay in close to the wall as the flakes may still shed some chunks. A pretty thorough cleaning was done though. Protection - about 12 bolts to the anchor.
I'm hesitant to rate this because it's in the wrong area and I'm not sure we're all talking about the same climb. I'd say Vitamin I (one or two routes left of Acid Mother Temple, climbs up some flakes on the lower section then a roof on jugs) is 11b, since it's a bit easier than the Face Melter Roof. Very nice climb though--not exactly classic but good.

People have put their trust into ToneZone and we want to keep it that way. Here's the background on why we ask for certain permissions:
READ CONTACT DATA and WRITE CONTACT DATA
We need these permissions in order to set contact ringtones in the app. Without this it's impossible to offer the "set as contact ringtone" feature which many of you appreciate. We DO NOT read, transfer, store or use any of your personal information or contact data. This permission has always been required - we did not add it recently.
Note: READ/WRITE CONTACTS is required to set a ringtone to a contact in your address book. This permission has always been required, and we do not read/store your contacts data.

Arizona State coach Todd Graham has added former Texas Tech interim coach Chris Thomsen to his staff.
Graham announced Friday that Thomsen will take over as the Sun Devils' running backs coach after Larry Porter left to take the same position at Texas.
Graham hired Thomsen as an assistant coach in December 2011, but he left in February to become the offensive line coach at Texas Tech. Thomsen was named the interim coach two days after Tommy Tuberville left Lubbock to become the head coach at Cincinnati.
Thomsen led the Red Raiders to a 34-31 win over Minnesota in the Meineke Car Care Bowl last month.

A plan to raise 125 million dollars for new and remodeled schools in Minot has failed.
Minot voters split evenly on the question - but fell short of the 60-percent tally needed to pass the school bond issue today.
Results began coming in to the Ward County Courthouse just after 7:30 with the superintendent and other school officials waiting to see the results.
Election officials from eleven polling places brought in the paper ballots and the computer data card for each location.
By 8:15 all of the polling places had delivered their information.
And it was a very short computation to come up with these figures --
Of the 8,696 ballots cast, 4,340 said "yes," and 4,349 said "no." Seven ballots registered no vote at all.
On the second question of the day, a larger majority - 55%, said "no" to raising the debt limit of the school district.
The rejection of the bond issue today by voters in the Minot Public School district continues a trend -- it has been more than four decades since a bond vote has passed...that in 1969 to build Magic City Campus.
So what happens next?
School officials say the problems that existed before the vote will still be there tomorrow...and they still need answers.
Perry Olson has reaction.
Voters have spoken...and the Minot Public School District is now turning the page -- looking for answers to a problem that keeps getting worse. Student populations keep growing...and if projections are correct...will continue to...
(Mark Vollmer - MPS Superintendent) "The unsuccessful bond issue did not change that. We need to go back to the drawing board and take another look. We need to plan for the future..."
Those plans may include some noticeable changes -- mainly on where kids go to school. In an effort to keep class sizes in check -- and eliminate the need for purchasing more portable classrooms -- students may be shifted from current schools in the upcoming years...
(Mark Vollmer - MPS Superintendent) "I think in the meantime we are going to looking at the re-drawing of attendance lines, we are going to be looking at increased class sizes, and we have to develop a long-term plan on how we are going to deal with this growth."
What might that entail? Don't rule out another bond request in the near future...
(Mark Vollmer - MPS Superintendent) "I would anticipate that we will see another question in the very near future..."
For now however, the school board will work on handling the student population with the infrastructure already in place. In Minot, Perry Olson, KX News.
Truck still considered to be a "vehicle of interest" in fatal crash.
A two-year-old child was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Minot this evening.
They ask if you have any information about the incident that you contact them at 852-0111.

A Minnesota woman is breathing easier knowing her son survived the sinking of a tall ship off the coast of North Carolina. Jo Svendsen of Nisswa, Minnesota learned Monday that her son, John Svendsen, was among crew members rescued from the HMS Bounty. John Svendsen was first mate aboard the Bounty, which sank in turbulent waters as Hurricane Sandy roared ashore. Jo Svendsen worked the phones all morning trying to find out if her son was among the crew members who were rescued. KARE-TV reports she finally heard from relatives on the East Coast that her son had been rescued by the Coast Guard.
Another woman who was pulled from the waters off the coast of North Carolina has died. 42-year-old Claudene Christian was unresponsive when the coast guard pulled her from the water Monday evening. Christian was among more than a dozen crew members who had to abandon ship Sunday night when it began taking on water off the coast of cape Hatteras --due to hurricane sandy. She was pronounced dead at a hospital later. Fourteen others, including Svendsen from Minnesota, were rescued from the HMS Bounty, a replica 18th century ship that was sailing from Connecticut to St. Petersburg, Florida. The coast guard is still searching for the ship's captain.

Upsets were the theme of the opening day of the 2012 Missouri Valley Conference Men's Soccer Championship as sixth-seeded Central Arkansas and fifth-seeded Drake both advanced against their higher-seeded opponents Wednesday night at Shea Stadium.
UCA (8-8-1) rode the first half goal of Daniel Sampedro and goalkeeper Cody Gibson to a 1-0 victory against third-seeded host Bradley (10-6-4), while Drake (6-10-4) stunned fourth-seeded Evansville (9-8-1) on a 90th minute goal for a 2-1 victory in the tourney opener.
Drake will face regular-season Valley champion Creighton in Friday's 3 p.m. semifinal, while Central Arkansas will take on No. 2 seed SIU-Edwardsville in the 6 o'clock semi, both at Shea Stadium.
Both games featured matchups between teams that tied during the regular-season and Friday's play was nearly as equal.
UCA put together a combination on the right flank that sprang Sampedro into the penalty area, where he was able to beat Bradley keeper Brian Billings with a low shot inside the right post. Michael Quinn and Ethan Miller set up the goal, Sampedro's third of the year, at 36:03.
The Braves had plenty of chances to find the equalizer in the second half, but could not push through. Junior midfielder Keegan Balle whipped a header off the right post in the 53rd minute, Gibson made a brilliant save on a Grant Bell shot in the 61st minute, Bell was turned away by a Bears defender at the left post in the 73rd minute and Jochen Graf hit the cross with a header in the 84th minute.
The loss snapped Bradley's seven-game home unbeaten streak and was the first loss by the host school in the MVC Tournament since the Braves beat Creighton in the 2007 championship game. Bradley also eliminated host Evansville in the quarterfinals of the 2008 tournament in a penalty kick shootout after battling the Purple Aces to a 0-0 draw.
The day's first game featured a bit of controversy after Evansville took the early lead on a 17th minute strike by Joel Craig. The Bulldogs found the equalizer in the 24th minute on a header by Jarred Arde. Evansville keeper Eric Teppen appeared to make the save at the right post, but the linesman ruled the ball had crossed the goal line and immediately signaled for the goal.
The score remained knotted into the game's final minute, when Drake freshman Eric Williams collected a pass from Michael Thaden on the right flank, dribbled across the top of the penalty area, then lined his game-winner into the upper left corner at 89:36.

DERRY — Local gardeners were in full bloom last week, honoring National Garden Week with special activities and donations.
National Garden Week, held this year June 2-8, is a national observance celebrating garden clubs all over the country.
In Derry, garden club members hosted several special activities to honor the week. Celebratory signs were placed at the "white garden" in front of the Marion Gerrish Community Center on West Broadway, the Manning Street pocket park, Children's Garden at the Robert Frost Farm, and the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Derry's youth garden and facility planters.
Rockingham Acres on Route 28 and Chakarian Nursery on Island Pond Road provided florals to spruce up the Derry Municipal Center, Derry Public and Taylor libraries.
Blanche Garone, president of the Derry Garden Club, also presented a basket of plants and flowers to Town Administrator John Anderson.
Another garden club member, Michelle Mensinger, was recently installed as the president of the New Hampshire Federation Garden Club. She is also a Frost Farm trustee and planted a perennial garden at the famed poet's Derry farm near the entrance to the homestead barn.

It couldn't have been comfortable for Lakeland's Chief of Police. She stood up against a wall in a packed room at city hall, and two commissioners who want her fired sat around a table just feet away.
The chief has been under fire for months following a spate of nightmares for her, the department and the city. Almost two dozen city employees have been connected to a sex scandal; most work at LPD.
Controversy swirled around the now infamous bra-shaking incident for months. Recently, a police officer was accused of sexually assaulting a citizen. To top it off, a chilly relationship has developed between Womack and State Attorney Jerry Hill.
"We need someone in charge who will demand a change, who will tolerate no wavering, who will crack the whip so loudly that everyone in the department will get in line, or face immediate consequences," said Commissioner Don Selvage.
Selvage and Commissioner Howard Wiggs are for letting the chief go. Wiggs wants to fire City Manager Doug Thomas as well.
At Friday's work session, Wiggs wanted to move towards voting on whether to dump the police chief. He also wants to bring in Polk Sheriff Grady Judd to review LPD's management practices.
Commissioners agreed to wait for the citizens advisory panel to present its findings in about three weeks before taking any action on either issue.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the PSB Alpha LR1 by Kristen Schaub Why choose bookshelf speakers? Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers. Compact speakers deliver deceptively big sound The Alpha LR1s are the smallest speakers in PSB's lineup, yet they still manage to deliver dependably crisp, clear PSB sound. These versatile speakers can be used as both front and rear satellite speakers, making them an excellent choice when you're looking to create a high-end, budget-friendly five- or seven-speaker satellite system. Designed to be wall-mounted or placed on an entertainment stand, they're the perfect solution for rooms with various seating arrangements and odd sizing. Excellence by design PSB's engineers began by designing each Alpha speaker from scratch to ensure that they'll deliver the same level of performance typically found on speakers twice their price. The Alpha LR1s use a 3/4" aluminum dome tweeter to deliver crisp, sparkling highs. The 3-1/2" woofer is made of metalized polypropylene, making it strong but lightweight. You'll hear excellent midrange detail and distinct bass without a trace of the listening fatigue that can happen with lesser speakers. Build a complete Alpha system Create a complete, budget-friendly Alpha home theater system using five to seven LR1 speakers mounted around your room. Or use the LR1s in the back of your room, and add a pair of Alpha T1 floor-standing speakers or the B1 bookshelf speakers to the front of your room. And don't forget to pick up a PSB powered subwoofer (or two) for room-thumping bass. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

Brewing Beer: Kolsch is gone :-( What's next?
What can I say? A holiday party did a number on my homebrew keg! I was happy to have so many people try it and like it :-) Now, I really need to get my butt in gear. I don't have any homebrew left. Well, I do have the barleywine, but, supposedly that shouldn't be ready until sometime in the summer. I think I need to bottle it and have a tasting to be sure ;-)

With the Cardinals' QB situation continuing to be totally up in the air, and second-round rookie Ryan Williams creating an eyebrow-raising logjam at running back, it's easy to lose sight of the team's other position battles. But it appears the competition for the team's second and third receiver spots behind Larry Fitzgerald couldn't be more wide open, with free-agent holdovers Steve Breaston and Early Doucet looking like they could get a serious run for their money from second-year pros Andre Roberts and Stephen Williams.
We hear both Roberts, who got off to a shaky start as a rookie but finished strong, and Williams, who did just the opposite, have stood out in recent players-only workouts. Doucet, meanwhile, continues to rehab from offseason surgery — he was placed on injured reserve last season after suffering a hip flexor injury against Carolina in Week 15 — and has not been attending any workouts. Both Doucet and Breaston have health issues that continue to be cause for concern [the duo missed nine games combined last season].
"I think the depth chart right now would have Fitzgerald one, Breaston two and Roberts three ahead of Doucet," said one team observer who has been on hand at more than a few of the Cardinals' workouts, including one earlier this week at Scottsdale Community College that had about 20 participants, most of them either free agents or players from other teams. "They really liked Roberts as the season wore on, and he looked incredibly fast and athletic the other day."

A 6-year-old Central Florida boy drowned on a Carnival cruise ship Sunday afternoon while at sea, according to a Miami Dade Police report.
Detectives say the child, identified as Qwentyn Hunter, of Winter Garden, was in the pool with his 10-year-old brother when the drowning occurred. Passengers immediately pulled the boy from the water and initiated resuscitative efforts. They were not successful, and the boy died at the scene.
The family was on a four-day Caribbean cruise out of Miami. The ship arrived Monday morning at Port Miami. There were 3,094 guests on the ship and approximately 1,100 staff members.
Carnival Cruise Lines released this statement, "Yesterday, Oct. 13, on board the Carnival Victory, while the ship was at sea on the last leg of a four-day Caribbean cruise, a six-year-old boy drowned in the mid ship pool. He was at the pool area with other family members at the time. Carnival extends its heartfelt sympathy to the family during this very difficult time. The company's Care Team is providing assistance and support."
Police say at this time, the incident appears to be accidental and no foul play is suspected. The investigation is ongoing.The Miami-based cruise company has 24 ships that attract an average of 4.5 million passengers a year.

Despite the lockout, the Texans have maintained nearly the same schedule for player workouts and unofficial minicamps as they would have during a normal offseason. Earlier this week, the club wrapped up its second unofficial minicamp at Rice University. Led by QB Matt Schaub and ILB DeMeco Ryans, 35 players attended the minicamp. (The Texans had 40 players at their first unofficial minicamp in early June.)
The players opened up the first day of the camp to the media, which gave our source on the scene a great opportunity to get updates on several key members of the Texans' defense. The way we hear it, both ILB Brian Cushing, who had his right knee scoped in January, and OLB Connor Barwin, who is coming off a season-ending ankle injury suffered in Week One, participated fully in practice and are nearing 100 percent in their rehabs.
Ryans, the team's defensive captain, who tore his Achilles in October, coached the defense, where his turning and running were kept to a minimum. Both Ryans and second-year LB Darryl Sharpton, who suffered a torn rotator cuff in Week 16, said they will be ready to go if training camp opens promptly on July 30.
Word is the club likely will bring Ryans and Sharpton along slowly during training camp, however.
The Texans' defense was one of the worst units in the league last season, though its four best defenders — Ryans, Cushing, Barwin and OLB Mario Williams — appeared in less than two games together because of injuries.
Our source also indicated that Williams, who will be asked to stand up as an outside 'backer in new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' 3-4 scheme, appeared to be in tremendous physical condition, having shed several pounds. After making 77 consecutive starts to begin his career, Williams spent the final three games of the 2010 campaign on injured reserve with a sports hernia injury.
TE-FB James Casey, who could become 2010 NFL rushing champion Arian Foster's lead blocker this season if unrestricted free-agent FB Vonta Leach does not re-sign with the club, also looked exceptional after adding 10 pounds of muscle in the offseason.

FBI Arrests former D.A. Employees
Original post made by Watcher on Jun 24, 2012
Maybe that's because just days ago, the FBI arrested two former D.A. office employees for theft.
These two employees worked under Steve Wagstaffe and Jim Fox as estate administrators when they stole money from the estates they were administrating. Although this function was turned over from the D.A. office to the San Mateo health office last July (2011), the thefts occurred during Wagstaffe's watch.
Why are the board of supervisors not asking for his resignation over this?

One of the San Mateo Supervisors alerted me to this story. I plan to speak to him about this and another urgent matter concerning the DA's office within the next few days.
on Jun 24, 2012 at 1:05 pm
Web Link
The program was previously operated under the direction of former District Attorney Jim Fox, who retired at the end of 2010, according to Steve Wagstaffe, who now holds the post. Wagstaffe said after he was elected to be district attorney he advocated transferring responsibility of the program over to the health department, since it was already in charge of the county's public guardian /conservatorship program.
Wagstaffe said the district attorney's office itself didn't have anything to do with the Public Administrator program, but he plans to investigate how the alleged crimes occurred.
"I want to know where was the fall down on that," Wagstaffe said.
I don't believe that Wagstaffe didn't have anything to do with the Public Administrator program. [Portion removed - generalized attack.]
on Jun 24, 2012 at 2:14 pm
When you hit top-level positions, as Wagstaffe has, when people in your organization have committed significant malfeasance, you take the fall. This is especially true when it was your responsibility to detect the malfeasance but you didn't.
THESE THEFTS WERE DETECTED JUST DAYS AFTER WAGSTAFFE TRANSFERRED RESPONSIBILITY TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. Why couldn't he detect them?
It's time for him to go. He's not a manager.
on Jun 24, 2012 at 2:24 pm
I have been told by another San Mateo Supervisor that Wagtaffe is a very weak manager.
But it's worse than that: he cannot ever admit that he made a mistake. He cannot admit that his prosecutors have made a mistake. To the public, he will deny that he and/or his prosecutors have committed misconduct. [Portion remove. Terms of use. Don't allege criminal conduct unless criminal charges have been filed or there has been a conviction.]
In the Mercury News story, Wagstaffe said the district attorney's office itself didn't have anything to do with the Public Administrator program".
Huh? The program was OPERATED by the DA's office. Why wasn't he overseeing it?
I don't know if the FBI agents who were investigating Wagstaffe in 2011 are involved in this investigation, but I have sent them this news story.
on Jun 24, 2012 at 3:31 pm
It would have been nice if Steve Wagstaffe had discovered and prosecuted his employees.
The Supervisors of San Mateo County are responsible for the oversight of the District Attorney's Office.
Lurker said,
"I have been told by another San Mateo Supervisor that Wagtaffe is a very weak manager."
I'm not sure that Don Horsley's opinion is that important on this issue.
It's not about being a weak or strong manager, It's about being an honest and ethical manager and enforcing the law.
on Jun 24, 2012 at 4:08 pm
This illegal conduct was discovered almost instantly once turned over from the District Attorney's Office.
This is what we get without oversight.
on Jun 24, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Many others (including lawyers) have cited Wagstaffe's weak to non-existent managerial skills.
on Jun 24, 2012 at 4:30 pm
I've done my part, I've asked the Board of Supervisors to investigate Steve Wagstaffe for other issues......3 e-mails to prove it.
on Jun 24, 2012 at 4:32 pm
I'm putting in a request this week.
on Jun 24, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Other than rants by Stogner and few anonymous posters, Steve Wagstaffe is well respected.
on Jun 29, 2012 at 11:39 am
Perspective says,
"Other than rants by Stogner and few anonymous posters, Steve Wagstaffe is well respected."
I'd like to point out that Perspective is an anonymous poster, and Steve Wagstaffe is well respected by some. Not all, this is a specific thread about employees under his oversight, that committed crimes.

Wagstaff has a history of being very reluctant to enforce laws as they apply to elected and appointed officials -a really cozy boys' club.

Saving Lives, Buying Time: Economics of Malaria Drugs in an Age of Resistance examines the history of malaria treatments, provides an overview of the current drug crisis, and offers recommendations on maximizing access to and effectiveness of antimalarial drugs. The book finds that most people in endemic countries will not have access to currently effective combination treatments, which should include an artemisinin, without financing from the global community. Without funding for effective treatment, malaria mortality could double over the next 10 to 20 years and transmission will intensify.

The model spacecraft in Heather Thomasson's second grade classroom is in keeping with her decorative theme, "To Infinity and Beyond," the catchphrase of Buzz Lightyear, a character in the "Toy Story" film series.
Thomasson said her class rotates the privilege of using the cleverly designed reading nook made mostly of sheet metal and lumber.
Inside the rocket, creators installed several vehicle dials to make the spaceship more authentic. To this end, they also installed NASA stickers on the imitation interstellar vehicle.
The students in Thomasson's classroom say the rocket ship built by Everett Thompson of Parrish along with other school boosters is a blast.
Oakman Elementary Principal Dennis Willingham said the spaceship is as much about education as it is about entertainment.
"Anytime you take a regular classroom and make adjustments to it to make it fun, it really enhances the learning environment for the kids," Willingham said.
Other teachers at Oakman Elementary have added their own creative classroom additions.
Another second grade teacher at Oakman Elementary, Teresa Woods, said her husband Tony built the reading nook in her classroom designed to resemble another kind of ship — the Mayflower.
Woods is using the structure to teach her students about American history. "This is the beginning of it," she said about the ship that has become a symbol for early European colonization of the New World.
Another structure in Woods' classroom, one that resembles a teepee, is being used to teach her students about Native Americans.
"We're learning about Native Americans and how they helped the pilgrims when they arrived," Woods said.
Another reading station at the school forces students to first conquer a climbing wall before it can be used.
Willingham said the structures may encourage an extra effort by some pupils.
"Just making a slight adjustment to the room or adding some other type of enhancement may inspire a kid to want to do more and want to read more," he said.

Foods containing at least 0.4g per serving of plant sterols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 0.8g as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of Corazonas supplies 0.8g of plant sterols.
Here's Nature's Secret
Nature has a secret weapon that helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, called plant sterols. The fact is, you consume plant sterols every day when you eat fruits and vegetables - just not enough to have a significant impact on cholesterol. At Corazonas, we have a patented process for infusing plant sterols at beneficial levels to help naturally lower cholesterol.
Here's All It Takes
Consume at least 0.8 grams of plant sterols per day with meals (for a total amount equal to two 1 oz. servings of all-natural Corazonas Chips or one Oatmeal Square) as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol.
Here's Why We Care
We've watched friends and loved ones give up their favorite foods to help lower their cholesterol - but we refuse to believe it has to be that way. That's why we started Corazonas.
*FDA health claim: Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 2g per day of phytosterols eaten with meals or snacks may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of Corazonas supplies 0.8g of phytosterols.
