Valley Christian girls down Ftn. Hills, have 17-0 hoops mark
Originally published: Jan 14, 2014 - 12:00 am
The tradition of excellence in basketball continues for the girls from Chandler Valley Christian.
The Trojans, the state champions in old Class 2A in 2011 and 2010, look to be a top contender in Division IV in the 2013-14 season.
They were the No. 1 team in power points at the start of the week and faced host Fountain Hills, the No. 4 team, on Tuesday night (Jan. 14). Both teams had one loss between them as the game began, Valley Christian at 16-0 and Fountain Hills at 12-1. Valley Christian overcame a slow start and pulled away for a 58-46 victory.
Fountain Hills jumped out to an early 10-4 lead, clung to a 10-9 advantage entering the second quarter and then watched Valley Christian establish control with an aggressive defense and three 3-pointers shortly before halftime.
In the second half, Valley Christian seldom allowed Fountain Hills to get second shots after misses, and that piece of the puzzle was a key ingredient, according to Valley Christian coach Scott Timmer.
"We found our pace, the up-tempo game which we like to play,'' Timmer said. "Fountain Hills also is a good team and they play the up-tempo game about as well as any team we've played other than Page.''
Fountain Hills was playing without one of its top players, sophomore Sierra Jarriel, who had suffered a recent hip injury.
The Falcons relied on the play of junior guard Brooke Yost and senior forward Natalie Stilwell. Yost was all over the floor, scoring 21 points, including three 3-pointers, and remained aggressive down the stretch despite the fact she had four fouls. Stilwell scored 12 points.
Timmer's team is deep and young. He has three freshmen who see a lot of playing time and make key contributions.
One of the freshmen is wing player Bethany Wolph, who led the Trojans with 18 points, including four 3-pointers. Sophomore Mara Kemmer also had a strong all-around game with 12 points, including some putbacks at the offensive end.
Valley Christian likes to rely on long-range shots, and converted seven of those.

long time no post! i went on vacation in june, and upon my return started working on an intensive freelance project with a tight deadline. all other free time was spent watching one of the best shows i've ever had the pleasure to watch: battlestar galactica. so i managed to find a few minutes free here and there to draw my three favorite characters from that show :) just started season 4! so sad that i have only this season left :'(
will be posting more starting next week!
robin williams died today.
here is a list of things that robin williams was:
- funny
- sharp
- kind
- clever
- and sad.
that's important, the "and sad," because sometimes sadness can feel like the only thing we are. it can feel all-encompassing. it can feel like the only thing anyone could possibly see, when they look at you: sad. that person is so, so, sad.
but there is always an "and." we are never just sad. we are never only. we are always and.
we have all known people who were sad, who are sad; some of us are ourselves sad. being sad does not remove the other parts of us, though it can make them harder for us to see. when you are sad, you don't necessarily feel like you are also funny, and sharp, and clever, and kind.
but you still are. you don't have to feel like something to be it.
those things are written on your bones, they are woven into the fabric of your skin. sadness can feel so big, so big and overwhelming and complete, even when it is not a directed sadness. maybe especially when it is not a directed sadness, when it's a depression that has no direct cause and nothing we can name.
sometimes the sadness is too big. people try to cut it out, or starve it out, or drink it down, or drug it silent. if this is you: i'm sorry. if this is you: you are not alone. if this is you: remember that the solution is never to give up, because you do not live in a vacuum. there are people waiting for you. there are films and songs and books and not-sadness waiting for you. i know that you don't feel like waiting, but wait anyway.
if you need help, ask for it. here's a link to crisis centers across the globe. if you live in the U.S., this is the national suicide prevention hotline: 1-800-273-8255.
robin williams died today, but the genie didn't, and mrs. doubtfire didn't, and peter pan didn't. sean maquire didn't, and professor philip brainard didn't, and alan parrish didn't. batty koda didn't. john keating didn't. you didn't.
don't.i wasn't going to reblog anymore on this but i read this and i feel like there are probably some folks on here who might need to read it, too.
do you ever have second-hand obsessions
like one of your friends is super obsessed with a thing so whenever you see something about it you're like "YES THIS THING" but you're not the one obsessed with it. they are. you know very little about this thing and yet it still excites you because it excites your friend
if anyone has been wondering where i've mostly disappeared to… i've started using twitter (_spookyfox) kind of recently and just don't check tumblr as thoroughly anymore.
also, for some reason, asks/fanmail get eaten a lot and it fills me with absolute vitriol. eugh. anyway! if you wanted to keep up with more frequent posts (i'm using the term 'frequent' loosely here) from me, i suggest following me there. as for contact.. tweeting me works well! or i can probably give you my skype if we've spoken a lot as mutual follows. i can also be found on myfigurecollection.net (heavyh3art) super often.
i mean, i'm not leaving tumbles or anything — just thought i'd make a post letting people know since i've been getting asks about it semi-often.
hey no offense to england but why are you guys so bad at soccer
It's soccer when america wins more games than you
Commissions from June 22, 2014.
thank you again, i love it <3
I tried a 2-D printer once, and the paper jammed.
So now I just painstakingly re-create my paper copies by hand, like a medieval monk.
i tried using paper, but the edges crumpled
so now i just chisel my commandments into stone, like old testament god
I tried using stone, but it cracked and broke.
Now I just scream everything at passersby, hoping they'll remember what I said so I can ask them about it when I need it.
I tried shouting things at passersby but they ignored me.
Now I emit allohormones in a gypsobelum that bonds selectively with the recipient's hemolymph to reconfigure their bursa copulax into a copulatory canal. I can only say one thing, "I want to mate with you," but really, what else ever needs to be said?
just gonna say this: if someone has social anxiety and they ask you something akin to 'are you mad at me' or 'do you hate me', it isn't because they don't trust you, it's because their brain literally tells them that all the time
it's not a personal slight, it's insecurity caused by mental illness

Boston Lager Recipe?
Since it is cold in my basement right now, I be thinkin' about lagerin'. And one lager that I especially like is the good old Sammy Adams. I like the lighter body that is still really flavorfull, with good hopiness, etc. Any recipe ideas? I'm looking to to an all grain version, but if you have extract ideas, I can probably translate them fine. Even if you have a good idea which kinds of hops to use, or what yeast might work best, lemmy know.
Thanks - D
sorry about the dodgey popups on the site.... it's not mine :)
Thanks T1, looks like a good start. Have you tried this brew? D'ya think one would have to do a decoction, or would a regular infusion mash work fairly well? -- D

Several house builders currently have new developments springing up in Milton Keynes, offering prospective buyers a good choice of new homes near London, catering to a wide range of budgets.
With its strong economy and handy location, this large town is a popular place to set up home. It is situated at equal distances from London, Birmingham, Leicester, Oxford and Cambridge, making it ideal for commuters - with London just half an hour away by train, or about an hour by road.
Country & Metropolitan Homes now has show homes open at their brand new Life development in Bletchley, which will offer affordable housing to eligible buyers - although prices are yet to be confirmed. The development includes a range of one- and two-bedroom apartments and two- to four-bedroom houses in Bletchley town centre, close to a good range of shops and amenities. There's lovely countryside on its doorstep, and for bigger shopping and leisure trips Milton Keynes itself is close by. Life has several schools nearby, too, while for commuters Bletchley station offers fast, regular services to London Euston in less than an hour, while the M1 motorway gives easy access to Luton Airport for trips further afield.
Persimmon Homes is another housebuilder with new homes in Milton Keynes that are suitable for a wide range of buyers. From two-bedroom apartments ideal for first-time buyers right up to more spacious four-bedroom houses for families, Larkswood has properties priced from £225,000 up to £299,950, with various purchase assistance schemes offering incentives for buyers - including the government-backed FirstBuy scheme for first-time buyers on selected homes.
In addition, Charles Church Developments has a range of three- and four-bedroom homes at Oakridge Park, priced from £224,995 to £279,995, and overlooking a lovely country park. Offering several different incentives for house buyers, including 100% Part Exchange and deposit paid schemes, Oakridge Park blends contemporary and more traditionally-styled homes in a desirable residential area north of Milton Keynes - which is just a ten-minute drive away.
Country & Metropolitan Homes also has a diverse range of new homes at Redhouse Park suitable for mid-range budgets. Situated in Top Fair Furlong, less than three miles from central Milton Keynes, the two-, three- and four-bedroom homes are priced from £189,950 to £245,000 and include a mix of classical and more contemporary styles. The development offers a quiet location yet is conveniently close to a fantastic range of amenities - and offers easy access to the M1 and a direct rail service to the centre of London. With CanBuy, a new purchase deposit scheme, buyers can borrow the full purchase price of their new home - while for existing homeowners, the Part Exchange scheme could help speed up the move.
At the upper end of the price scale, Charles Church has created an exclusive development of luxurious four- and five-bedroom homes at Hepburn Chase, situated just southwest of Milton Keynes at Oxley Park. Just four miles from the centre of town, and expected to become a highly sought-after address, this development is made up of just 24 new homes, priced from £759,995 to £825,000 - all of which are laid out along a well-established, tree-lined road overlooking meadowland.

"The wedding announcements I ordered are wonderful. They looked exactly as they did on the website and were shipped and received very quickly. The price was extremely competitive with other wedding announcements."
"We had a very simple courthouse wedding with just close family, so we wanted to send announcements to the few friends/family who couldn't be there and we aren't connected to through Facebook. These announcements were simple and beautiful, while still giving us the personalization that we wanted."
"We were absolutely pleased with the quality of the cards we ordered. We requested a review of the design to make it more personalized, and the promptness of the reviewer in satisfying our needs was impressive. All of our friends who received the cards have told us they like them, and a few have requested info on where/how to get them. We highly recommend this company and their products."
"These announcements exceeded my expectations! Simply beautiful. My husband and I eloped in the Caribbean, so we wanted a fun announcement that captured the feeling of our ceremony. The size was perfect - they resemble a traditional postcard."
"This card is simple yet elegant. Understated elegance. Would highly recommrnd this card especially for the more sophisticated bride."

The book tells of what became of the survivors.
Out of the Blue - Facing the Tsunami
By Kimina Lyall
Published by ABC Books Australia
Available at Bookazine, Bt850
Reviewed by Jim Pollard
The Nation
Lyall, a correspondent for The Australian newspaper, was caught by the Boxing Day waves on Golden Buddha Beach on Koh Phra Thong, northeast of Khao Lak.
She recalls a gentle morning on the beach - when she was "preoccupied with one of my articles" - being interrupted by bewilderment when residents of the tiny community spotted the first huge waves on the horizon. She describes a "mix of fear and fascination".
Some people ran down the beach to spread the warning. Others headed uphill. Water had drained out of the bay, which the village chief instantly knew meant danger. Nearly 100 people were killed on the island, including 13 Thai and foreign friends in the community where she and her partner, JP, were building a home.
Lyall's book tells of life there prior to the drama and what became of the survivors. What makes the account truly interesting, though, is her own struggle to understand her mixed-up emotions about what occurred.
Only many months later did she realise that the slow-motion reactions and incomprehension she and others displayed were symptoms of shock.
"The waves that hit our end of the beach were not that high, but they grew successively more powerful. Tsunami experts have since calculated the highest of them reached 11 metres at the point below where I was standing but the waves' real impact came from their width.
"Even as people whizzed past our rock I was unable to comprehend the scale of the situation."
Survivors gathered on two hills and Lyall, armed with her mobile phone, "slowly became aware that the disaster was not ours alone". The local resort had been pulverised, with people swept away and families split up.
She called for help and sent text messages, but it was the following day before a helicopter and speedboats arrived to rescue them. Meanwhile there were rumours of more big waves coming.
Eventually she filed a story with her news desk in Sydney, and became aware she was missing amazing scenes in Phuket. The following day, straight after getting back on the mainland, Lyall had to head south to cover the biggest story of her life. In front of her were hospitals with hundreds of dead. Her editors wanted stories on victims - Aussie victims - yet, Lyall felt "completely overwhelmed" and emotionally drained.
She began hunting down the story of an Australian man whose baby was swept from his arms, but she soon "realised what going to work in this disaster meant. I would have to find grieving relatives, talk them into talking to me, listen to their stories, and then write them up coherently, all under the deadline pressure of a four-hour time difference
"I wanted to curl up on the floor in the back of the car and pretend I wasn't me."
Hospitals were overflowing with corpses and wounded. Outside, notice boards were covered with photos of loved ones that families were desperately trying to find. And her friends from Koh Phra Tong wanted help locating those swept away.
Not long after, she found herself "failing dismally in all my newspaper's expectations" and desperately wanting to be with friends, searching for the missing. "I wanted to be with them yearned to be looking at the bodies of my friends, not these anonymous masses."
Colleagues at her paper were sympathetic. She was allowed to return to the island to take part in funeral services. A few weeks later she went to Kuraburi and encountered the sometimes-farcical aspects of the relief efforts underway there.
Lyall writes well, and the aftermath of the tragedy and interaction with Thai officials and others are appropriately explained. She had serious personal issues to sort through, but those aspects are not allowed to become a burden for the reader.
Back in Australia she has trouble coping with normal news reporting. JP battles sleeplessness "and flashbacks of water sucking the air from her lungs" - signs of post-traumatic stress.
Lyall ends up seeing psychologists, travelling to the US to speak at a conference on journalism and trauma, and reviewing media coverage of the tsunami. She ponders God and why the disaster occurred, then becomes convinced she would have died if caught in the water like her partner had been.
Finally, she goes back to the beach on the anniversary of the tragedy and confronts her ghosts. There is a commemorative ceremony on the hillside. And, she sits down to write this book.
"Out of the Blue" is a personal tale of one correspondent's experiences during and after a horrifying event. It is not an overview of the devastation that occurred in Thailand and elsewhere, but it shows the deep impact the disaster had on so many individuals.
Kimina Lyall has written a book that is open and honest, and full of valuable insights. I enjoyed it.
Aside from the drama on Koh Phra Tong, this book is a strong case study on grief, the media and how journalists also need to deal with trauma.

Mark Hayward's City Matters: Getting schooled outside the classroom
In the fall, she dropped out of her freshman science class at West High School and pushed her educational frontier into cyberspace. Now, she learns concepts such as energy and electrical current through her desktop computer at home, thanks to the Virtual Learning Academy Charter School; VLACS for short.
The virtual classroom has been embraced by Mayor Ted Gatsas, whose enthusiasm prompted him to line up private-sector donors to beef up high school computer labs to accommodate virtual learning. Sometime next week, computer labs in the city's three high schools should be retrofitted and ready for VLACS.
"The stuff I'm learning here, I'm learning in more detail than in class," said Nault, who switched for scheduling reasons.
VLACS is not a video classroom where students watch a teacher in some far-off classroom. Rather, it involves lessons, most of which must be read, enhanced with computer graphics.
For example, a graphic can illustrate the movement of electrons when it comes to electrical current.
A conductivity lesson involves Nault using her cursor to move images of electrical leads over images of various materials.
Nault said she's never learned material so easily. And if she's stumped, she can email or even telephone (so passé) her teacher, who works out of her home in Windham.
"Ten minutes later, I have an answer," Nault said. "That's a lot faster than in school, when I have a question in math, and she (the teacher) has to answer 20 trillion other questions."
Get ready for virtual learning, Manchester. Manchester students are currently enrolled in 555 VLACS courses. The mayor loves the idea. And city businesses have ponied up some $37,000 to jump-start it.
But VLACS will not likely be as easy or transformative as its supporters expect. After all, this is Manchester, where nothing new happens without a fight, and politics is as popular a sport as Central football.
-- Bandwidth. Nault said she doesn't go virtual at West; Internet speeds are too slow. By the time she loads a browser and then VLACS software, she has 15 minutes for a virtual lesson.
Gatsas said he doesn't know the reason for slow Internet speeds.
He said the contributions used to fit up high school computer labs can be used to improve bandwidth.
-- Dropping out. Manchester students don't do too well in the virtual ed world. According to VLACS, only 62 percent of Manchester students completed their VLACS courses, compared to 81 percent statewide.
Steve Kossakoski, chief-executive of VLACS, said he can't explain the discrepancy but hopes the rate may improve with in-school labs.
-- Teacher push back. Teachers' union President Ben Dick said he understands students have different learning styles, and VLACS may work better for some students. But he worries virtual learning will replace traditional classrooms, teachers will lose their jobs, and kids will be forced into a learning style that doesn't work for them.
Most students, he said, need a teacher to keep them on task.
"I'll be willing to bet I interact with students better than the computer screen does," Dick said.
-- Uncertain finances. Right now, there's no reason for the mayor not to love VLACS. A state fund dedicated to charter schools covers the cost of the 555 courses that Manchester students now take, while the city treasury continues to receive state adequacy aid for students taking those courses.
But school officials are good at bean counting, and this won't last forever. Manchester will eventually have to start paying for the virtual courses, which amounts to about $900 for a full-year, one-credit course.
-- Teacher pay. Dick said his labor-oriented concerns would go away if Manchester teachers could teach Manchester kids who opt for VLACS. The 13 full-time VLACS instructors currently each earn $42,400 a year, plus benefits, which equates to the salary of a fifth-year teacher in Manchester.
And Dick said he doesn't like the piecework nature of VLACS pay: A teacher only gets paid when the student completes the course work.
Despite the misgivings, Gatsas remains optimistic.
Give children opportunities, and they will find a way to achieve, he said.
He said the new labs should address the problems dealing with bandwidth and low-completion rates of Manchester students.
"Things will work themselves out," he insists. And he dismissed suggestions the virtual classes would be used to eliminate real classrooms. It's all about giving students different opportunities and options, he said.
Nault said she still likes high school and would never abandon it entirely for her desktop. After all, there is lunch, study hall and unified arts programs, which don't work very well in the digital world, especially the lunch part.
Other advantages of VLACS: The virtual class frees her up for a school study hall, and she works on her lesson whenever she wants. (Sunday morning is a favorite.)
"Not all kids are motivated enough to sit in front of a computer," she said. "It just depends on the teaching style a kid wants."

Does this include wheat pasta? I always wanna print out the market pantry coupons, but I only cook with whole wheat pasta..
Hi, I'm uncertain if this includes wheat pasta. The coupon does not specify so it's possible that it would work!
You have to buy sauce and pasta, not 2 pasta or 2 sauces, correct? I would much rather just buy the pasta, and they were on clearance at my store for .98!
For this deal, you must buy sauce AND pasta. Maybe you could buy one box of clearanced pasta and one regularly priced sauce.
If my boyfriend walked in to a plate of pasta and sauce on the table for dinner I think he would walk right back out the door to go get some McDonalds :{
Thanks ChristineClipsCoupons, I was going to ask if this pasta sauce was any good.
I tried Market Pantry pasta sauce the last time Target had a similar deal and was pleasantly surprised. I usually don't like pasta sauce from a jar but theirs isn't bad. I think I got the three cheese flavor if I recall correctly.
Good to know!
I love this deal, we've been getting it for about 6 months. Our Target will sometimes have the pasta and sauce on sale for $1 each and I have stocked up when they do :)
We LOVE the Tomato Basil flavor
Thanks Kimmee. I think I will try that next!
I love your info but everytime I pull up one of your page on my phone your square thingy comes up and blocks most of the stuff on the page…how can I fix that?
I was thinking the same thing. Lol. It's fine on my laptop but annoying on my phone.
Oh I'm sorry to hear that! I wonder if the page isn't loading as a mobile version?
It is the "my list" on the bottom of the webpage, for some reason the mobile version has it pop up in the center of the screen and won't let you minimize it.
Ok I'll look into this. I apologize for the inconvenience!

Peace Alumna Tyler Luttman Gaviria '02 '04 Named Teacher of the Year by the Foreign Language Association of North CarolinaBy on October 28, 2010 12:54 pm
Victoria Tyler Luttmann Gaviria '02 '04, the daughter of Victor and Metta Luttmann of Hendersonville, received the 2010 Teacher of the Year award from the Foreign Language Association of North Carolina. This is her fourth year teaching Spanish.
Tyler graduated from Hendersonville High School in 2000 and attended Peace College, receiving her A.A. in 2002 and her B.A. in 2004 in Spanish and Liberal Studies with a Concentration in Anthropology. She then served two years with AmeriCorps where she worked for El Pueblo, Inc., a state wide non-profit dedicated to serving the Latino community.
Tyler was inspired to go into teaching after working with Latino youth and helping them gain access to higher education. She soared through the NCTEACH lateral entry program at NC State University in 2008 and currently teaches at Garner Magnet High School in Wake County. She will graduate this summer from Bennington College in Vermont with a Master's in teaching Spanish as a Second Language.
Tyler has extensive travel experiences as well. While at Peace, she studied abroad in Seville, Spain as well as participated in various summer programs in the Yucatan, Mexico and Oxford, England. She also interned abroad in Lisbon, Portugal at the U.S. Embassy and interned in Raleigh as the personal assistant to the Vice-Consul at the Consulate of Mexico.
Tyler is very passionate about Spanish language and culture. She performed for several years with an amateur flamenco troop after returning from Spain. She also teaches Zumba®, a mix of Latin American Dance and Aerobics, part-time.
Tyler hopes to show her students that they will no longer see other peoples as "foreigners" but as something familiar through increasing their world views of other languages and cultures, allowing them to break down stereotypes. She further hopes that her students will foster and encourage understanding and respect for all.
Peace College is a four-year baccalaureate arts and sciences college that offers a challenging program of study that provides women strong intellectual and personal foundations upon which to build successful and meaningful professional and academic careers. Peace's educational program consistently earns the college rankings in the top 10 percent in several categories of the National Survey of Student Engagement.

b. Cherilyn Sarkarsian La Pier, 20 May 1946, El Centro, California, USA. Cher began working as a session singer in an attempt to finance an acting career. While recording with Phil Spector as a backing vocalist, she met and later married Sonny Bono. After releasing two singles under the name Ceaser And Cleo, the duo then achieved international acclaim as Sonny and Cher. Throughout this period Cher also sustained a solo career, initially singing a paean to Ringo Starr ('Ringo I Love You') under the pseudonym Bonnie Jo Mason. Thereafter, she secured several hits, including an opportunistic cover version of the Byrds' 'All I Really Want To Do'. The sultry 'Bang Bang', with its gypsy beat and maudlin violins was a worldwide smash in 1966, leading Cher to tackle more controversial themes in 'I Feel Something In The Air' and 'You Better Sit Down Kids'. Although her acting aspirations seemed long-forgotten, she did appear in two minor 60s films, Good Times (1967) and Chastity (1969). In 1971, the zestful, chart-topping 'Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves' and its attendant album ...

What exactly are triops? Triops are crustaceans that can be traced back to the prehistoric times. These three-eyed creatures grow up to 3 inches in length in their 20-90 day life span, sometimes doubling in size in a single day! Triops are brightly colored due to hemoglobin in the blood and pigment in their connective tissue. Very resourceful, they obtain oxygen from the water through their feet and sometimes swim on their backs, sweeping food into their mouths using their many lets. These intriguing creatures make great pets as they are very interesting to observe. This kit includes everything you need to raise 20-30 triops. The eggs will hatch within 18-48 hours of receiving your kit. The included tank measures 11" x 6-1/4"x4-1/2" and includes everything you need to make your triops feel at home: dark beads, gravel, a nutrient pack, a fossil replica, food, a magnifying ruler, and a booklet full of potential experiments and information as well as the triops eggs. Not exactly cute and cuddly, triops still make great pets -- providing lots of opportunity for learning and observation. Resources: Where do Triops grow?

Low turnouts for PCC elections
Dire turnouts threatened to undermine the first generation of police and crime commissioners (PCC) today with as few as 10% of voters casting their ballots in some areas.
Fears of poor participation in the election of the new commissioners appeared to be confirmed as the first results came in, with Wiltshire declaring an overall turnout of 15.8%.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper accused the Government of ignoring warnings of a low turnout and said the elections had been "a complete shambles".

Improve your Odds on the Next Test with Lighting Speed!
If you could read just one article about how to turn your oral board scores into a badge this is it. I challenge you to read this and future articles and not change how you sell yourself in your next oral interview.
I have many certifications including Paramedic. The only hindrance that I found myself with was not passing the oral. Since ordering your program, I was nailing the interviews. Getting hired over the auxiliaries at their own departments, and with a heck of a lot less experience. Your program and techniques helped me excel past the other candidates. I even had one city Fire Chief personally call me at home to set up a Chief's oral, (had to decline, due to the fact that I was at orientation for another dept.). To make a long story short, nothing counts until you have the badge, nothing. For all of the candidates out there that don't believe this, try passing and ranking #1 on orals with a stuttering problem . . . I did. Thanks Captain Bob - Dave
Remember: "Nothing counts 'til you have the badge . . . Nothing!" Ask Dave
Has any what you've read made sense? Would you go on an African safari without a guide? Then why would you go to an oral interview without a guide? Would you cross a river without a guide to show you where the rocks are so you can make it across the river without being washed away? Haven't you been beat up enough yet? We would like to work with you to turn things around. It's been said that when the student is ready to learn, the teacher appears. Are you at this point now? We can help you wherever you are in the process. From the written test, physical agility, resume, oral board, background, psychological, polygraph to the promotional interview.
We can shorten the learning curve to the closest point between you and the badge. Like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, we're not going to give you anything you don't already have. We're just going to show you where it is. There is a badge out there for you. You just haven't seen it yet. We will show you how to nail it!
Steve Prziborowski, Fire Captain, Santa Clara County Fire Department wrote:
"Do what you have to do be more marketable so you can take more tests and have something more to offer a department, but remember that it all comes down to that 15 to 30 minute oral interview. I've seen some awesome candidates with resumes packed full of accomplishments that couldn't sell them self in an interview to even make the top 50%."

Even though I would consider myself 100% of a summer girl, I've recently come to realize that my summer wardrobe could use quite a bit of improvement. For some reason I find it much easier to dress for fall, winter & spring, rather than summer. The reason may be that black skinny jeans are my favorite piece of clothing EVER – and they simply don't work for warmer months. Last week, I was on a mission to freshen up my summer attire a bit, only to find that all the stores had already switched to the new fall collections. Sure enough I walked out with a big fluffy winter jacket instead of pretty summer dresses … On a hunt for something for summer, I finally got lucky at GIRISSIMA.com and found a perfect dress by Ganni, that'll work with espadrilles for a casual outfit, but also with heels, sparkly earrings and a nice bag for a summer date night. Plus, it can easily be paired with tights, biker boots and a leather jacket for fall (even though I still haven't given up hope that Summer will return). Definitely went straight onto my wishlist!
CRAVINGS: summer date night
CRAVINGS: getaway
It is August, which means that our annual trip to Portoroz is coming up and I couldn't be more excited! The weather in July was kind of weird this year here in Vienna, so I can't wait for lots of sunshine, fresh fish for dinner and lazy afternoons spent on the boat. My ideal vacay outfit? A cute romper, espadrilles, bright summery nails and my new "swizzle" sunglasses. Let the countdown begin ♥
CRAVINGS: its all in the details
As you guys know, I am a sucker for statement pieces, such as a good animal print or a big glitzi necklace. However, lately I've found myself drawn towards simpler looks and more delicate items. Knuckle rings, thin necklaces or lace bralets – this Summer I am in love with the little details. Details can be anything from really dainty jewelry, a pretty pattern, a bra peeking out from under a summery top or the perfect shade of blush pink for bag and sunnies. This week I have 2 major crush items on my cravings list: That gorgeous bra by Triumph from their collection by Helena Christensen (which will be available in Fall) and the small Antigona by Givenchy, which has seriously stolen my heart in that color. What are your summer must-haves?
CRAVINGS: summer swim
The past two weeks have been beyond busy and I find myself craving a relaxed summer day, somewhere by the pool – preferably even the ocean. However, Mike and my schedule are currently super packed and there is no vacay in sight (except for a little 4-day getaway in August). So while I keep dreaming about the ocean, I had a look around some of my favorite online shops and found lots of beachy essentials that I would definitely take with me. I love that white, slightly oversized dress, which would look so good with tanned skin! And what better, than to take a dip with a cute, tropical bathing suite, like the one by Poko Pano, found via GIRISSIMA.com?
Speaking of GIRISSIMA: Have you guys entered the 2000€ giveaway yet? You can still take part until Jule 30th for a chance to win a huuuuge shopping spree!

Letter: Women get short shrift
Bill Demetriou
When the men's USGA tournament was played, The Commercial Appeal listed pairings and starting times. Not so with the women's USGA tournament. I have had the privilege of following the University of Memphis women's golf for the past several years. It was like they played on another planet. Very, very seldom was anything written and when it was, it was just a couple of lines.
It is time for The Commercial Appeal to recognize that women play sports and are smart enough to run a company. I guess our newspaper panders to good old boys.

Bruce Dixon: Founder & President, Anytime, Anywhere Learning Foundation
Anywhere Anytime Learning, nonprofit
the hardware is the easy part
- our mission really is about what happens next
- we are still struggling toward seeing that
I've been driven by a passion to see that these devices are in children's hands
- OLPC and the work of many is moving that vision forward
PDFs of the slides will be available for later download
What has technology in schools taught us so far?
- in too many of our schools, the technology emperor has had no clothes! (I've been saying this for about 12 years)
- now is an edweek.org image of this idea
- technology-driven ideals
- ill-defined expectations
- trivializing teacher competence
- access IS a major issue: 5:1, 4:1 are just better versions of teh same thing
- 59% spent less than 59 minutes in front of a computer at school each week (results of Australian survey)
we've spent billions of dollars on technology, but has it made a difference
- really it has had little impact on student achievement up to this point, and little impact on student experiences
We need to build a better understanding of the "Art of the Possible"
- till 3 or 4 years ago, we were talking about a $2000 or $2500 device to put in kids' hands
- one of the biggest things we hadn't done before what is possible
- what does on demand, just in time, computing access do for kids and their learning?
- a lot of people even today don't understand that
- I am only going to touch on this today, Gary is one of the best people to address this "art of the possible"
For all the money and journalists columns worrying about computer ratios, all those ratios (except 1:1) are just the same thing
Where K-12 students spend their timme
- small percent of a child's waking hours are spent at school
- John Bransford, "How People Learn"
- learning in formal and informal environments
- that is one of the planks we stand on when we look at 24/7 access
- learning does happen in all aspects of a child's life
education has changed dramatically
education ≠content
- if we can google it, should we teach it?
- that is a great discussion point
I'm not suggesting content doesn't have a place
- but there are certainly many things we spend time doing with our children that we problably shouldn't
How is our learning going?
- look at wikipedia
- distributed or collective cognition
- Jimmy Wales (founder of WikiPedia) talking about universal access to the sum of human knowledge
"Success in the slowly changing worlds of past centries came from being able to do well what you were taught to do. Success in the rapidly changing world of the future depends on begin able to do well what you were not taught to do."
"see the computer as the instrument whose music is ideas"
- Seymour Papert and Alan Kay
- it is the instrument that all students around the world should have access to 24/7
Transformative teaching and learning
- we are trying to transform education
- not just about putting a computer in the hands of young people
- collaborative learning communities
- build compelling models for using technology to iprove the learning experiences of students
- explore new directions and more challenging….
Why consider one to one?
- equity: narrowing the digital divide
- economic-budge imperatives
- assessment (better individualized instruction)
- textbook replacement
- marketing-competitive advantage
- research on the impact on learning
- pedagogy
120,000 students in Marseilles in France about to receive laptops
has been emerging since 1990,
key is making this available to ALL kids
- in many districts across this country, many kids don't have computers at home, or broadband Internet access
Angus King: economic-budget imperatives
- wanted Maine to take a different path
I think textbooks are still going to be around of awhile, gradually over the next 5 years we'll see a departure from the textbook model
last 2 reasons to consider 1:1 are most important:
- to create compelling learning experiences for all students (has an impact on pedagogy)
- is a challenge we all face, we were all trained in a different medium
- it is hard for us to adapt/change our pedagogical practices
What the research tells us
- student attendance increases and students are more motivated and engaged (Russell, 2004, New Brunswick, 2004)
- students write more, more often, and better (Silvermail, 2004, Warschauer, 2005)
- overall improvement in test scores (Rockwell student: New Brunswick
Increase in 21st learning schools
- deeper investigation
- statistically significant change towards a constructivist teaching practice
This is the research we (very much) look forward to
- more evidence of how 21st century / digital pedagogy will improve learning outcomes for all students
- what attributes of leadership best enable the development of a contemporary learning culture within a school
- what is assessment 2.0? new metrics for learning taht better reflect the needs of the 21st century
- detail on the most effective programs that build significant change in teaching practice
above all: just how far student's learning can go, when they are given the freedom to learn!!!
- like Alan said, we continue to be amazed by the kids and how far they can go
- we often underestimate the capabilities of students
A 1:1 idea
- Negroponte 2005 quotation: "One does not think of community pencils, kids have their own. They are tools to think with, sufficiently inexpensive to be used for work and play, drawing, writing, and mathematics….."
"unlimited access to distant experts, collaboration, mentors, communities of practice, shared virtual environments
- Ubiquitous 1:1 computing: wireless devices interfaceing resources from the real world, smart objects, intelligent contexts
- not talking about replacing teachers, but an additive to the learning process…
We are rethinking what learning might be
- rethinking what learning in the digital age might mean
- how many hours have you or your staff wasted time on "how do you point and click" classes
- we have way overdone that
Digital Fluence and the fluency gap
- to be truly fluent in a foreign language, you must be able to articulate a complex idea or tell an engaging story: in other words, you must be able to "make things" with language….
- we need to focus on that magic that a teacher can bring, that curiosity, that imagination: how can I engage students and better engage them
we starting to think that learning can be anywhere, anytime, throughout their life
- whenever one has access to the web
- it is possible to deliver a personalized curriculum, that is one change
story of almost burning myself out trying to deliver a differentiated learning experience for all students by myself
- we are coming to the tip of that possiblity
Don't even think about 1:1 unless you are thinking about: sustainable, replicable and scalable
- don't just run out with a lump of money
- build a shared vision
- develop a coherent strategy to deliver on those goals
- set clear expectations for everyone
- monitor effective execution
so how might we fund it?
- that is what everyone has on the tip of their tongue?
Build a strategy around
- development of an effective implementation model
- sustaining broad community support
- re-imagining curriculum opportunities and promote innovative pedagogy (associated professional development, software issues, challenge us to look for more appropriate and effective means of assessment)
- project management: policies and procedures, finance options …
Implementation considerations
- don't do a pilot program to decide if you are going to give all kids laptops
- do a pilot to decide HOW not IF
Equity support
- optional v mandatory
- everybody who wants their child to have a laptop should be able to
- build broad community support
Underpromise and overdeliver
- don't say kids are going to use their laptops "most of the time" in school because most people think that means close to 100%
- when we are building a technology-rich learning environment, we want to:
– address learner diversity
– help teachers teach more, and administer less
– promote new dimensions of pedagogical innovation
– look for more appropriate and effective means of assessment
– allow us to re-imagine curriculum for the 21st century
Infrastructure planning should
- constantly refer to your learning objects
set a high bar for acceptable performance
in 2007 it is NOT acceptable to hear something like "the wireless network is not working"
- that may have been acceptable in 1995, but not today in a ubiquitous environment
- technology must work in all times
Which technology is prerequisite, what is preferred and what is optional
- a lot of things that should be required end up being considered optional
we should be doing better more often
- some of the best learning I've ever seen happened 10 years ago with training Gary Steger led with young girls, using laptops with no hard drives and CD ROM drives, monochrome monitors, and Logo software…
for what most kids want to do most of the time online, wireless networks are perfect
- make sure
don't be distracted by the exceptions, make sure the technology matches it
at all times, it is about the LEARNING not the technology
picking a vendor: partnership, it is about much more than the cheapest devices delivered to your loading doc [I PARAPHRASED THIS]
service and support management considerations
- student helpers
- more….
software considerations
- build on your curriculum objectives
- tools, not 'software de jour'
- keep it simple to start
- licensing, costing and compatibility
- backup, upgrades and the value of SoE
1:1 funding equity
- should ensure all students can participate
- everyone who benefits should make some contribution
- funding should be structured to ensure it can be sustained indefinitely
- laptop funding must be supported by a commitment to professional development
if a parent does not want a child to participate, you can't do anything about that
- if they want to provide
Funding continuum
- Maine funding model, state pays $40 million, not very sustainable, at 1 extreme
- other extreme is a wealthy family sending their student to a private school
We are suggesting that these students have 24/7 access, 365
- have them on holidays, etc…
- when you do that, it is reasonable to consider the parents make a contribution
It is very, very unlikely we could have total gov't supported initiatives in the immediate future (next 5-7 years)
- cost factors make make that change
Commit to professional development in the form I have discussed here
- find a unique funding option: district, school foundation, and the family: Shared Cost Model
Start with some assumptions
- student laptopL $850
- bag: $50
- 3 years of insurance: $150
- total cost: #1100
- over 3 years, $32/month
if you want a laptop that a child will live by, have 24/7, if you buy a $300 model it won't last more than 3 years
You have to make a "smart car" like a car devised by Timex and Mercedes
Toshiba, Lenova, and Apple are looking now at building a durable laptop in that $850 range
I suggest you take a financing model
- cost flow and budeting analysis: costs about $32 per month
- district could pick up 50% of cost, shared foundation 1%, parent 45%
- that is really not a ton of money
An alternative
- the Intel Classmate at $450
- bag: $30
- 3 years insurance: $70
- software: $50
- total cost: $600, over 3 years $17/month
is in response to OLPC, at the moment has about 2 GB of flash RAM
these with a shared cost model are sustainable, replicable, and scalable, EVERY child can benefit…
AALF Shared Cost Model for one-to-one funding equity
- showing excel spreadsheet for how this could play out for an entire district
In Australia we don't have school districts, the whole state is run as a central system
- example: New South Wales would be the 2nd largest school district in the United States
- the states in Australia are now looking at this model, they realize the benefits to the kids, the vision piece
This can all be monitored and run through a foundation structure or through the school
- not uncommon to get contributions from local industry
Components of a successful 1:1
- if you are thinking it will take 3-5 years, you're in the wrong room/session
1- vision
2- infrastructure
Comment, on how they might be connected
- to each other
- to other classes
- to other schools
- to other countries
While at school, and beyond, formal and informal learning opportunities?
What if you could have district-wide broadband access
- Taiwan and Taipai
- City of Minneapolis, Philadelphia
- the business model for this hasn't been defined
what does the unconnected classroom and learner look like (graphic)
- what the connected learner looks like
Creating district-wide broadband
Last 2 slides
- imagine if we could formatively assess students in a way that had immediate impact on their learning
- could build life-ong learning profiles
- intelligently search for best learning practices like an Amazon.com book search
- make learning in school as transparent as learning outside of school
- we could be
