With less than two months to go until Zenimax Online's The Elder Scrolls Online MMO opens its gates to the world, the developer has a new video giving us a brief overview of just how crafting works in the lands of Tamriel.
As any MMO veteran can tell you, crafting is a key requirement in the MMO recipe, and a good crafting system will do wonders in keeping players interested and the economy floating. It seems like Zenimax's version is aiming to do just that, by ensuring players are able to customise their character to how they want, and at the same time offer an enjoyable time sink while you travel across Tamriel.
There are tons of opportunities for crafters to flourish in ESO. You can learn to create helpful food and drink items with provisioning, fashion enchantments for gear, brew potions using alchemy, and forge and improve weapons and armor of all sorts with smithing, our most involved skill. There's so much to crafting that one video won't contain it all, so we want to show you how being a blacksmith (who can create metal armor and weapons, just one of the three smithing skills) will augment your journeys, from exploration and gathering materials all the way to producing a special piece of armor.One of the key differences between other MMO crafting styles is that in The Elder Scrolls Online players can (at first) only craft their racial items. Scattered around the world are tomes of knowledge, yearning to be read that will teach players how to craft other racial gear, and once known you'll be able to craft the entire racial line.
Of course, it isn't just normal sets of armour and weapons that you can craft, with Tamriel boasting a whole collection of rare and unique crafting tables hidden away for adventurers to discover. These crafting tables can be used to make special sets of armour or weapons, boasting unique bonuses that just may make or break you in combat.
For more on the crafting side of The Elder Scrolls Online, check out the video below. The Elder Scrolls Online will be available on PC come April 4th, with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions coming sometime in June.

Coos County commissioners have approved a plan to spray mosquitoes coming off a national wildlife refuge and surrounding areas because the insects have been tormenting residents and visitors to the Bandon, Ore., area.
The World newspaper reports the commissioners voted 2-1 on Tuesday in favor of the plan, despite concerns raised that one of the pesticides to be used could harm crustaceans in nearby creeks.
Last week, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service granted the county a permit to spray the mosquitoes coming off a newly flooded salt marsh on the Bandon National Wildlife Refuge. After coming under harsh criticism, the federal agency agreed to pay for spraying on the refuge itself.
The Bandon Dunes Golf Resorts will contribute $10,000, the city of Bandon $5,000 and Coos County $5,000 for spraying outside the refuge.

It just got really loud for Ken Whisenhunt
So last week when I said on the show something to the extent of "the Cardinals better not lose to the Rams�..if they do, it might get loud in here" I'll be honest with you; it never occurred to me that it might actually happen.
It's like one of those empty threat grenades I lob in the direction of my teenage children every now and then. Clean your room or I'll�I'll�.take away your TV! Would I have actually done it? I don't know because it never, ever comes to that.
The Cardinals better not lose to the Rams. If they do, it might get loud in here.
They did and it is. Very.
So loud that for the first time, to my knowledge anyhow, Ken Whisenhunt was asked about his job status (by none other than the esteemed Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic). Coach provided a professional response, noting that such talk was part of the business and that nobody feels worse about this then the coaching staff does. Whiz answered the question like he knew it was coming.
After a dreadful game like the one just witnessed how could it not be?
The offense, Whiz's specialty, is in desperate need of a reboot akin to that of Bond or Batman. After a sensational start, Ryan Lindley threw four interceptions and two pick-sixes. After being overthrown and underthrown, definitely bet the over on whether or not Larry Fitzgerald is frustrated.
The once mighty advantage of University of Phoenix Stadium has been picked over like your Thanksgiving turkey after losses to the Bills and Rams. Combined, those two teams have three road wins this season, two of which were against the Cardinals (the Bills also beat the Browns on the road).
The defense gave up only 17 points that weren't the result of Lindley's inaccuracy and in the second half played like a unit that was worn out from having to carry the load.
Most damning of all, this was to be the game that ended the losing streak. If you can't beat the Rams at home then where does it end? How does it end? Next week against the Jets? Yeah, they're a joke, but you just got thumped at home by the Rams. On the joke depth chart that's pretty hard to beat. At Seattle? San Francisco? Home to the Bears or Lions?
Odds say it will end and the Cardinals won't end the season on a 12-game losing streak. But even when it does, the clean house crowd will have two strong pieces of evidence: the inability to find a post-Warner quarterback and losing streaks of seven, six and seven (and counting) over the last three years.
Certainly the noise, and the unease, is justified and it remains to be seen if this team and this coach can do anything to quiet it. Perhaps the return of Kevin Kolb will level off the descent. Though that return is hovering somewhere between a when and an if. No one is certain.
That uncertainty plagues the head coach as well whose future is, at best, muddled.

CROSSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - DeKalb County Sheriff's deputies arrested a woman on theft of deception charges.
Officials said six victims in the Crossville area loaned money to a woman who did not repay the loans.
They said 62-year-old Sylvia Turner Bowman of Albertville solicited elderly people for amounts ranging from $100 to $7,000.
The victims reported Bowman asked them to loan her the money, claiming she would repay them when her insurance claim was settled.
Police said the insurance claim stemmed from a May, 2004 fire in her Albertville restaurant. The claim had actually been denied because the fire was an arson set by her business partner and part-owner of the restaurant.
A warrant was issued on the charge of theft by deception.
The Albertville Police Department's detective and patrol divisions assisted in the search for Bowman, who was located early Thursday morning and taken into custody.
She was then transported to the DeKalb County Jail.
"We appreciate the cooperation we received from the Albertville Police Department. Without their assistance we would not have been so successful in quickly locating Bowman and bringing this investigation to a close," Sheriff Jimmy Harris said. "I believe, however, that Mrs. Bowman may have many more victims, inside and outside of DeKalb County, who have not yet come forward. We will not know the full amount of money lost until these unknown victims report their losses to our office. If you feel that you have been victimized by this particular individual or another in a similar situation, please contact the Sheriff's Office."
Bowman remains in jail on one count of theft by deception, with a $15,000 bond.
Other victims' cases will be considered by the grand jury.

Kovalchuk: Devils want to play best for DeBoer vs. team that fired him; No extra emotion for Carter
Although Pete DeBoer continues to downplay his personal feelings about facing the Florida Panthers in the first round of the playoffs, Devils forward Ilya Kovalchuk believes the series will have a lot of meaning for his coach.
Tuesday will mark the one-year anniversary of DeBoer being fired by the Panthers after he coached them for three seasons. Kovalchuk said the Devils players would like nothing more than to make DeBoer look good by winning the series for him.
"It's going to be a big, emotional series for him and for us as well because he's our leader," right wing Ilya Kovalchuk said. "We want to do well, especially against his former team."
DeBoer, who was hired by the Devils last July 19, admitted to some "personal motivation" before his first regular season game against the Panthers on Nov. 21, but claims, "They really are another team for me now."
When I asked DeBoer today if we should believe him, he replied, "I haven't lied to you, yet."
Still, Kovalchuk remembers what it was like to go back to the Atlanta after he was traded to the Devils two seasons ago and the emotions involved there. He never had a chance to face his former team in a playoff series, but can imagine what that might be like.
"That's how life goes sometimes," Kovalchuk said. "You get fired from one team and then you get hired by another and then you face your old team. So, it will be nice for us to play our best for him in this series, for sure."
Ryan Carter's Panthers' career lasted all of 19 games – 12 last season after pre-trade deadline from Carolina and seven this season – before he was placed him on waivers and claimed by the Devils on Oct. 26. So, he also says doesn't have any strong feelings about facing the Panthers in the playoffs.
"It wasn't with them long," he said. "It's exciting just to be in the playoffs. I think the first couple (regular season) games (against the Panthers) there was some emotion there, but after a while this is my team now. So, there isn't any extra emotion, just preparation."
Carter also has no bitterness because he's pretty happy with how things have worked out for since joining the Devils. He was a healthy scratch just once this season after he was claimed. (He also missed nine games with a fractured thumb.)
"It's been good," he said. "I've enjoyed it here. This is a good team. I don't know if it could have worked out better."
Carter probably knows some of the players on this season's Panthers better than DeBoer, though, because they had quite a bit of roster turnover last summer and Carter went through training camp and the first three weeks of the regular season with them.
"Maybe you have a little more knowledge on how the guys are as players and how they're motivated," Carter said. "In the playoffs, it's a seven-game series and there's different things that come into play over the course of it. So, having a little more knowledge about those guys is probably the advantage of having played there."
Carter is not surprised the Panthers made the playoffs this season, though they hadn't qualified for him since 2000.
"They have a good team – skilled players, good forwards, a good set of D," Carter said. "They've got Clemmer and Theo (ex Devils goalie Scott Clemmensen and Jose Theodore) who have played well. So, I'm not surprised. That was the goal they set at the beginning of the year and it was a realistic one. That first seven games they wanted to pound that it was going to be a playoff season. So, they set a goal, they reached it and I think it's good for them."
The Panthers were one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NHL this season, netting only 197 goals, but were very productive on the power play, scoring 53 times (more than a quarter of their goals) on 286 opportunities (18.5 percent).
That will be an interesting match-up against the Devils' top-ranked penalty kill, which set a post-expansion NHL record for efficiency at 89.6 percent and also scored a league-best 15 shorthanded goals.
"We've been playing well as of late," Devils captain Zach Parise said. "I think also as of late our special teams has been really good and that can be big differences in game. If you can get that big power-play goal, that can go a long way and also our ability to kill off penalties has been good this year. We all know how good Florida's power play is, so we have to be sharp."
In the four regular season meetings between the teams, the Panthers went just 1-for-11 on the power play and the Devils scored one shorthanded goal. (The Devils went 0-for-11 with two shorthanded goals against.)

Federal Proposals Would Limit Aggressive Hospital Collections Practices
Lost in the shuffle amid last week's U.S. Supreme Court decision is proposed legislation and a proposed regulation that each seek to address the issue of aggressive hospital debt collection.
Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) introduced the End Debt Collector Abuse Act of 2012 last Wednesday. The act would amend the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act to include medical debt and would set limits on the access that debt collectors can have to hospital patients.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released proposed regulations on policies for patient financial assistance and emergency medical care that hospitals must develop as a condition of receiving or maintaining tax-exempt status. The regulations are required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Franken's proposed bill reflects the findings of hearings he held on the hospital debt collection practices of Chicago-based Accretive Health, Inc. Those hearings followed a report from Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson alleging that Accretive's debt collection and patient privacy practices violated federal health, debt collection, and privacy laws.

The Saint George features 24 guestrooms and two deluxe suites. Facilities include a piano lounge, and The Orval Hixon Vaudeville Photography Museum.
The hotel was built in 1845 as a working man's hotel. Following the Civil War, and the floods of 1858 and 1881, the hotel lost much of its business, but the building persevered, operating as apartments, a post office and bank. Renovations added the modern conveniences of a luxury hotel, while still preserving most of the original architectural style and beauty.

Exactly how bad do the Boston Celtics want to be in the 2013-2014 NBA campaign? Already heading into the off-season without former bench boss Doc Rivers, now with the Los Angeles Clippers and with a deal in principle that will send Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry to Brooklyn; would the Celtics part with their remaining All-Star? The "Boston Globe" reported on Saturday, that according to NBA sources, the Dallas Mavericks are looking to acquire Boston point guard Rajon Rondo, hoping to entice Free Agent center Dwight Howard to sign a long-term pact with the Mavericks. Although, Rondo is coming off of ACL surgery, his recovery seems to be proceeding without any complications and could be the move that helps them land "Superman." Although, there has yet to be any official word out of Dallas, as to what they would offer Boston to acquire the talented, but tempestuous point guard, speculation has started that it would involve Dallas sending veteran forward Shawn Marion to Bosto...

LA Times articleSubmitted by tstorey on Fri, 11/09/2007 - 00:40
The LA Times has republished an article about the "ferry incident" in support of Rudy.
As is true of any attempt to attack Dr. Paul a host of supporters have given the LA Times a raft of response.
I enclose the following response for those of us who prefer to shoot first and ask questions later.
You should understand proper debate before you take on journalists. Name calling is third grade stuff and it makes one think that the name caller is just a shill for another campaign making the Paul campaign look bad.
Stop it. You are giving these media a reason to attack the campaign on something other than issues. Who's team are you on anyway?!
The response below isn't much, but, it is the result of RESEARCH. If you are going to write something, research the facts and prepare a sensible argument or look for something else constructive to do.
Just ask yourself, WHY would the LA Times write this article and then, figure it out.
LA Times:
" I grew up with the owners/publisher's of the Boston Globe back in the 60's and 70's.
I'm sure the late Davis Taylor would have told me to look up who the owner of the paper was giving campaign money to if I wanted to explain why a certain candidate was getting smeared.
Irish Catholic Democrats play it as dirty as it gets..bless their little hearts.
The owner of the LA Times, Mr. Zell, is a financial supporter of Rudy Guiliani. This explains why his employees are instructed to trot out negative stories about his Republican competitors.
Mr. Zell has a host of reasons for not liking Dr. Paul's message of individual rights and $2300 reasons for liking Mr. Guiliani.
Case closed.
If Mr. Paul's supporters would like to smear Rudy I suggest they do what Mr. Zell has done. Buy a bunch of newspapers and instruct your employees smear Rudy.
It is, after all, still a relatively free country. "
This behavior is not based on some shadowy dark horror that needs to be assailed by a thousand posters.
Sam Zell is connected to all of the stuff we are campaigning against. He also owns a bunch of newspapers and Dr. Paul is never, I repeat never going to get jack from the LA Times or the Chicago Tribune
These people are our competitors. They got what they got. We got what we got. They have hatred, money, power, war...in a word..THEY HAVE NOTHING.
Stop wasting your time throwing yourself against the ramparts. Dr, Paul sets the example...Follow it.
too true
Ron Paul puts me to shame every time he turns a backhanded comment back on the interviewer. It is amazing and classy, as we should all strive to be.

Assessing What They LACK: L is for Leadership
Editor's Note: The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation's Courage to be Safe program identified four area where fire officers needed to improve their awareness, training and skills: leadership, accountability, culture and knowledge (LACK). This...
The comments and actions of leaders have a direct impact on the health and safety of firefighters because they form their attitudes and govern their actions. The inability or unwillingness of those in leadership positions to lead (regardless of their rank) undermines firefighter safety as much as any other factor. Leadership and supervision includes modeling the behaviors and expectations we have of others. Leaders are always teaching others how to behave and perform by their own example…positive or negative.
If fire departments put more emphasis on developing the leadership capabilities of fire officers as outlined in the NFFF LACK (Leadership, Accountability, Culture and Knowledge) Program, we could make even greater strides toward enhancing the safety of firefighters in career and volunteer fire departments. Fire department leaders have the responsibility to do whatever needs to be done to maintain the safety of all fire department members. These responsibilities are usually spelled out in departmental rules, policies, guidelines or procedures. The challenge is not identifying what leaders should do; the challenge seems to be getting leaders throughout the organization to carry out their duties and responsibilities in a consistent and effective way. Decisions and actions of leaders (especially regarding safety) are sometimes not popular with the department membership, but this cannot be allowed to deter the leader from doing what needs to be done. Strong leaders do all they can to maintain a positive, productive and healthy work environment. They're competent, compassionate, empathetic and caring…but they also hold those under their command accountable for decisions they make and actions they take.
Study the LACK Program, and ask yourself how you rate against the leadership criteria identified: What do I need to change about myself? Am I part of the problem? Do I hold myself and others accountable as leaders? Do I need to recommit myself to training and leading in a way that works toward strengthening firefighter health and safety requirements in my fire department?

WOONSOCKET ŌĆö Times never stop changing in the healthcare business, and the Woonsocket Health & Rehabilitation Center keeps changing along with them.
The latest update for the 262 Poplar St. facility is the creation of a new assisted living unit, designed to give comparatively healthy individuals a housing option that still provides the security of backup nursing care, if needed.
The Beacon Hill Assisted Living Community has a 40-bed capacity in cozy, personalized quarters with an assortment of frills, including a handsome library, a common kitchenette stocked with snacks and rooms for private functions, games, and group activities.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a place where people can come and still enjoy their lives,ŌĆØ says Robinn Brooks-Mancini, administrator of facility operations. ŌĆ£They can still have their vehicles and participate in all the activities they want to outside.ŌĆØ
Assisted living, a term that came into vogue some three decades ago, is a kind of mid-level care that straddles a line somewhere between full-fledged nursing care and robust, everyday life, unhampered by medical concerns.
For individuals who may need a little help managing their prescriptions, personal hygiene chores, or even getting dressed, assisted living might be the right choice.
As the average length of hospitalizations continues to shrink and the legions of baby boomers become the new elders, the demand for increasingly customized, non-hospital healthcare settings continues to grow, says Peter Pezzelli, vice president of marketing for the health center.
ŌĆ£Assisted living has become more prevalent,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£Twenty or thirty years ago, there was only one option in a nursing home. As the population grows, the spectrum of needs is totally different.ŌĆØ
Woonsocket Health & Rehabilitation Centre was established as a 288-bed nursing facility in 1975. Today, the family-run business has just 150 traditional nursing beds, plus the new Beacon Hill Assisted Living Community.
The health center has just begun accepting applications for the assisted living wing.
Assisted living has a reputation for being rather pricey in some areas, but Pezzelli says the health centerŌĆÖs units are an affordable option designed to meet budgets in line with the local market.
Rooms can be furnished to suit married couples, individuals willing to double up with a roommate, or live singly. Generally, private and semi-private rooms are about 250 square feet and come with a private lavette. ThereŌĆÖs also a larger suite available, an apartment-like configuration of three rooms, including a bedroom, a sitting room and a full bath.
The Beacon Community is located in a just-remodeled section of the nursing facility. The halls are covered with fresh-looking, wood-laminate floors, and rooms are painted in comfortable but lively shades of celery green, apricot and wheat.
Located on a cul-de-sac at the end of Poplar Street, the facility is nestled in a shady pocket of trees where residents can always find an inviting spot on the neatly manicured grounds to chat with friends or enjoy the fresh air.

A Boston area innovation studio for middle and high school students is bucking the traditional school model for what students love best: hands-on learning.
Such a great model...students join studios and deeply explore ideas using design thinking to create and build.

"With so much scholarship on developing and holding onto talented teachers, why are New York's charter schools essentially draining of talent every year, with schools routinely losing a third, half, or, in extreme cases, up to two-thirds of classroom teachers? What happens to schools when faculty lounges have revolving doors? And how do charter leaders and advocates respond?"
"Dr. Mazur's teaching method has a large national and international following, and has been adapted to teaching many disciplines. He is author or co-author of over 200 publications and 12 patents, and helped produce the award-winning DVD Interactive Teaching.
"Almost 20 years ago, Harvard physicist Eric Mazur had an "aha" moment about his teaching practice that forced him to rethink the traditional unidirectional teaching model. He described his early approach to courses as "not how you teach it, but what you cover. [Then] I realized education was not merely a transfer of information. It was about how well students could assimilate information and transfer it to their own experience." So Dr. Mazur radically changed his approach. He developed a strategy that incorporates "just-in-time" teaching with short lectures punctuated by conceptual questions posed to the students, using classroom response technology. Dr. Mazur asks his students to think about and respond to these questions, and to attempt to convince each other of their positions.
"This is the basis of what he calls the Peer Instruction method, which
engages students, provides continuous assessment and feedback, and allows students to learn from each other."

Wish I knew the context of this photo or where it came from. Is it digitally altered? The photo was shared, but no original source given. Yes, the picture is worth more than a thousand words, and as a teacher I can see the possibilities of using this in the classroom after a study or refresher about the life of MLK. As a librarian, not knowing the source bothers me tremendously. I hope someone who reads this will add the missing information.
"This last Saturday, August 16th, Dr. Amy Zalman, only in the job of President and CEO of the World Future Society a matter of weeks, gave a talk, followed by a very stimulating discussion, to a growing group of London-based futurists convened by David Wood.
"To put this into context, futurism is different from strategy, our own prime concern – instead of juggling knowledge of the past, current realities and future expectations into a plan of action and reaction against fast-moving opponents, the futurist is looking ahead to the probabilities and possibilities that might affect strategy beyond the immediate struggle.
"Many of the audience were engineers and scientists used to hypotheses that had to be tested against evidenced data so some may have been surprised to hear Amy refer to professional futurism in terms that were more humanistic and the futurist, amongst many other analogues, as an artist.
The clue to this leap lies in a reference we have already made to a book on strategy by Professor Lawrence Freedman – or rather to its closing chapters where he emphasises the difficulty of a planned forward strategy under conditions of complexity where every action creates layer upon layer of reaction.

"In March, the social-media giant Facebook paid a whopping $2 billion to acquire Oculus VR, the Irvine, Calif.-based startup behind a new virtual-reality headset known as the Oculus Rift. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg described Oculus' device as a "new communications platform," akin to personal computers and mobile devices, that could have similarly far-reaching implications for gaming, entertainment, social networking, and classroom learning.
"Potential educational applications include virtual field trips, immersive digital learning games and simulations, and therapeutic experiences for students with special needs.
"But not everyone is buying the hype. Previous virtual-reality technologies got a lot of attention in the 1990s, and again in the early 2000s, before mostly falling flat, and public schools in the United States are not exactly known as hotbeds for nurturing emerging technologies.
"Virtual reality is super-cool, but schools are still struggling with the blocking and tackling of getting basic digital technologies in classrooms," said Trace A. Urdan, a senior analyst for Wells Fargo Securities in San Francisco who tracks digital learning investment trends."

"Tracy Fischetti's high school students improved their reading level scores about three times as much as expected last year, according to the state's 2013 test scores.
"Of all the English teachers in Florida, she scored the highest on the state's Value Added Measure (VAM). Interestingly, Fischetti had no idea of her distinction until I emailed her in early March. "I am not sure how you would have gotten wind of my classroom chaos in California," she wrote. The metric isn't viewed positively in her district.
"I'm sure many readers' jaws clench at the mention of VAM Scores. I'm going to sidestep that controversy for this post except to note that, inadequate as test scores are for assessing educational quality, they're not a bad starting point to discover promising practices. No matter what you think of VAM, Fischetti and her students have accomplished something impressive, and I couldn't be more grateful for the time she took to share her approach with me.
"There are three practices that Fischetti employs consistently that seem to account for a lot of her success".

"Most people have heard of homeschooling — kids are educated by parents or caregivers at home, rather than at school, for a variety of reasons. But within the homeschooling community, the growing "unschooling" subset has a somewhat different, amorphous, definition.
"Depending on whom you ask, unschooling is centered around what the child wants to learn using any and all resources available, not just fixed, school-prescribed curriculum. The general idea behind unschooling is this: getting kids to develop a love of learning for its own sake rather than for grades, and giving kids the opportunity to experience "valuable hands-on, community-based, spontaneous, and real-world experiences."

"The paradox of undergraduate education in the United States is that it is the envy of the world, but also tremendously beleaguered. In that way it resembles the U.S. health-care sector. Both carry price tags that shock the conscience of citizens of other developed countries. They're both tied up inextricably with government, through student loans and federal research funding or through Medicare. But if you can afford the Mayo Clinic, the United States is the best place in the world to get sick. And if you get a scholarship to Stanford, you should take it, and turn down offers from even the best universities in Europe, Australia, or Japan. (Most likely, though, you won't get that scholarship. The average U.S. college graduate in 2014 carried $33,000 of debt.)
"Financial dysfunction is only the most obvious way in which higher education is troubled. In the past half millennium, the technology of learning has hardly budged. The easiest way to picture what a university looked like 500 years ago is to go to any large university today, walk into a lecture hall, and imagine the professor speaking Latin and wearing a monk's cowl. The most common class format is still a professor standing in front of a group of students and talking. And even though we've subjected students to lectures for hundreds of years, we have no evidence that they are a good way to teach. (One educational psychologist, Ludy Benjamin, likens lectures to Velveeta cheese—something lots of people consume but no one considers either delicious or nourishing.)"
"Eric Mazur, Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics, presented the Fall 2013 Dudley Herschbach Teacher/Scientist Lecture on October 29, with an introduction by Robert Lue, Richard L.

"Futures Studies as it has evolved since the early 1970s is both a discipline and a meta-discipline. It is a set of skills and applied methodologies that can be learned—in impressively diverse ways—and it is a dynamic way of coming to understand the world that is practical and empowering. As Alvin Toffler wrote in 1974, "A focus on the future is relevant to all learners, regardless of age."
"For this special report, we called for essays from futurists who have experienced futures education, be it in a K-12 class project, a professional certificate program, a workshop, or a full degree program. We received an overwhelming response from students, educators, and several people who have been on both sides of the learning and teaching experience."

"It would be great if the external world could be distilled into a computer program, and our actions dictated therefrom as readouts on a screen. But reality, especially the qualities that make us human, defy both the construction of such models, as well as their veracity. Emotions and beliefs aren't necessarily bad things to attempt to understand, in all of their glorious vagueness."

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Deputies with the Wabasha County Sheriff's Office arrested four people during a drug bust at a home in Elgin Friday morning.
Deputies carried out a search warrant about 9 a.m. at the home on 45 4th Ave.
Wabasha County Chief Deputy Joe Modjeski said this is the third time the home has been searched. In November 2013, homeowner, Daniel Gernes, was arrested for having a pound of methamphetamine shipped to his residence.
Because the house is less than two blocks away from Plainview-Elgin-Millville Elementary School, Modjeski said the charges will increase.
He said the Wabasha County Sheriff's Office is aware of the home's reputation, and warns others to stay away.
"This community doesn't need narcotic users coming to this community stealing stuff and buying drugs here," Modjeski said. "I'm warning all narcotic users to stay away from this residence. We're aware of it and our narcotic investigators are surveiling this house constantly."
Modjeski said four felons were interested Friday morning, including one for possessing methamphetamine, and another for possessing a firearm.
Modjeski said a perimeter was made around the house to make sure the community was kept as safe as possible.

I never heard a building as consistently loud as it was at the Superdome on Monday night during the Saints-Patriots game. This story illustrates what things sounded like — in the open-air press box, there were colleagues of mine who were wearing earplugs to try to get some relief. At one point, there was a Dixieland band playing directly underneath the press box, which only added to the surreal nature of the whole thing. But it was really loud.
By the way, I'm on board the New Orleans bandwagon. It's a great city with terrific fans and a fantastic atmosphere for football. Nothing not to like about the way they operate. The Saints have a world-class offense that has to be seen in person to be believed, combined with a really underappreciated defense — and a secondary that includes the great Darren Sharper. As long as they get home field, there's no reason to think they won't be in it until the very end. (FYI, I got some good-natured grief from readers for picking the Saints on WEEI's "NFL Sunday" last week. Haven't heard anything from those same people since Monday night.)
Anyway, here's the weekly mailbag. Lots of venting about what happened in New Orleans on Monday night, which is to be expected. Sorry it was a day late — blame "Monday Night Football" for screwing up the schedule. We do this every week, people. Send your Patriots-related e-mails to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Don't be shy.
… No pass rush. Go ahead, say it.
I think I sent you this same e-mail after the Colts game. I was unable to finish the whole game on Monday — although I saw all the Pats' scoring — due to the seething anger I was experiencing after listening to Ron Jaworski talk about the Saints' pressure on [Tom] Brady during halftime and the report that the Saints coaching staff was equally pleased with that aspect of their first-half performance. While the Colts were playing with rookies, the Saints were playing with two corners who had been out of football until three weeks ago. One apparently arrived the week of the game! In both cases, Tom was under pressure while his receivers were covered. [Peyton] Manning and [Drew] Brees, on the other hand, seemed to have plenty of time to find receivers.
As I listened to Jon Gruden say, "If Brady has time, he is deadly," I began to wonder if Manning and Brees donned a Pats helmet and played against their own defenses, would they look as comfortable as they did against the Pats? I would guess not. Despite having an intact secondary — I am not worrying about the loss of Shawn Springs — the Pats can't pressure or stop the elite offenses. To me, the "eyeball" test says the difference is the pass rush. Why can the depleted Colts and Saints rush Brady and cover the receivers while the Pats, with only one exception I saw — a Jerod Mayo sack of Manning — seem to be unable to do either?
FYI, I am glad I missed the second half. I don't think I could go to work again — like I did after the Colts game — with no sleep.
Putnam, CT
A: Mike, you are right on with this. The Patriots were unable to get any sustained pressure against either Peyton Manning or Drew Brees. Some of it can be explained away with the fact that New England played a lot of nickel against both teams, and so the Pats weren't bringing a lot of rushers. But even when they were in 3-4, it was difficult to get to Brees. Their backs did a nice job picking up the extra rusher when someone got free, and the New Orleans quarterback needed only the smallest of windows to hit a receiver. New England preaches team defense, and it was a complete breakdown in all areas against the finest offense in the league.
What were the worst losses in Patriots history? What was BB's worst lost in his coaching career? With injuries being a part of the game, why isn't there a minor leagues of professional football to keep players in game shape if they are needed to fill in. Thank you. I'll hang up and listen to your answer.
Dr. Jeff
A: I went back through the archives, and statistically, the worst loss in Patriots history was a 52-0 drubbing at the hands of the Dolphins back in 1972, a game in which Miami was throwing the ball in the fourth quarter. (When Don Shula started muttering about running up the score in 2007, I rolled my eyes when I saw this box score.) The worst loss of Bill Belichick's coaching career likely came in the 2003 opener against the Bills in Buffalo when Lawyer Milloy and Drew Bledsoe humiliated the Patriots, 31-0. An honorable mention happened last season when Miami came into Foxboro and used the Wildcat to lay a 38-13 beat down on New England, a 25-point loss. (Although a 24-point defeat at the hands of the Chargers — 41-17 — back in 2005 in Foxboro was pretty hideous.) And a minor league for the NFL wouldn't be cost-effective to run — theoretically, the practice squad is supposed to serve as your Triple-A team.
Hey Chris,
After the thrashing the Patriots got, it would be easy to go crazy, but the issues are still ones that were there before the game. The question is: What can they do to fix them? My questions are specifically about the offense.
Could they bring Charlie Weis back in midseason to get some better and more unpredictable play-calling? Sure, I saw a couple of sweeps last night, but that isn't the same as getting Charlie back. Same for the first drive of the second half. It looks like the offense made some adjustments, but after that first drive, the Patriots were shut down. With the talent this team has, the only reason I can find that the Patriots aren't getting a lot more open have to do with COACHING. Better routes, better play design, better play-calling. There's no reason with Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Ben Watson that we can't get guys open when we need to like Weis did with Troy Brown, David Patten, Deion Branch and David Givens. Are you telling me that Brown and Patten were a better tandem than Moss and Welker?
I could say the same thing on defense as well, especially the defensive backs coach. We won Super Bowls with guys we picked up off the street, we can't win with what are allegedly solid free agent signings (Leigh Bodden/Shawn Springs) and high draft picks? Why all of a sudden are our DBs incapable of providing solid coverage? (Well, besides the fact that the D-line gets way too little pressure)
Your thoughts?
A: Phillip, I think if you're comparing the offense and defense at this point, the offense is the far superior unit. Even after Monday night, New England remains one of the highest-scoring offenses in the league — the Pats currently are fourth in the league in total points with 307. As for Monday, to paraphrase Pedro Martinez, you just need to tip your hat and call the Saints your daddy. (Wes Welker did say that the Saints threw a few curveballs at them defensively.) New Orleans played a great defensive game and forced the Patriots to have to throw the ball in the second half to try to get back into it. (New England had just five carries over the final 1.5 quarters against the Saints.) And any time you make a team one-dimensional, it's an unfair fight.
The Patriots still need some scoring consistency (they have just 101 second-half points over the entire season, which remains one of the oddest statistical anomalies I've ever seen), a more consistent running attack and better red zone execution. But they have been able to put the necessary points on the board to win games. They've had one lousy performance — in Week 2 against the Jets. But in every other game, they've done their part to contribute to a win.
The defense, on the other hand, is not an elite group anymore. As I stated here, it wasn't embarrassing, because the Saints have made other respectable defenses look bad. But it revealed that the Patriots defense is by no means a championship-caliber unit. If New England is going to go deep into January, it's going to be because it's going to outscore teams, not stop them. You specifically mention the DBs, who had a lousy night on Monday. But at the same time, the Patriots preach team defense, and when you can't get a sustained pass rush, even world-class defensive backs are incapable of covering for more than five or so seconds at a time.
Has anyone happened to notice when the Pats play other strong and upcoming teams there is a common theme? The other teams remind me of the Patriots of the past. They show desire, hunger, determination and teamwork. One common goal. The Patriots look disinterested, lethargic and with the attitude of "been there, done that." We get the same rhetoric every week from players and coaches on their performance, but as an old coach once told me, "You can draw all the X's and O's you want, but when you go out on the field to play the game, it is the team who wants it the most who usually prevails."
David C.
A: David, I agree. On Monday, the Saints came out sky high, and other than a good first seven or eight minutes, the Patriots were unable to match their intensity level for a full four quarters. Things changed when Mike McKenzie was able to get that early interception of Brady — New Orleans controlled everything about the game after that point. The crowd also had to have been a factor. In many ways, the runaway aspect of the game reminded me of the 2003 opener against Buffalo, when things got out of hand so quickly that the opponent was running out the clock midway through the fourth quarter.
What I saw in Belichick on Sunday was a realization that his team just isn't good enough. The Patriots simply don't have the personnel on defense to beat the elite teams, and the offense isn't "lights out" enough to win those games by themselves.
Daniel C.
A: I agree. As currently assembled, this defense is not good enough to get a key stop in a big situation. The signature moment for the New England defense this season likely came in the Baltimore game when the Ravens were on the march late, driving for what would have been a go-ahead score. But Baltimore was stopped with less than a minute to go deep in Patriots territory when Ravens wide receiver Mark Clayton simply dropped a fourth-down reception.
The Pats aren't a dynasty anymore. Let's stop acting like they've won anything since 2004. They haven't. The only integral player from the '01, '03 and '04 teams is Brady, and we see in his inability to hit on the long ball and his record in big games, he wasn't the same guy before the knee injury and he's less now. This is not a championship-caliber team, and anyone who is let down by this loss still believes it is.
A: Brian, the dynasty from the early part of the decade is dead — that era probably ended that night in the desert against the Giants. However, I think as long as the offense has Brady, Randy Moss and Wes Welker, it has to be considered championship caliber. The defense, that's another story.
Bottom line: Patriots are a second-tier team right now. The Saints, Colts and Vikings are better, period. The defense is young and has NO big playmakers. They simply aren't that good. Next year maybe, but it's another year that Moss gets older. He isn't getting better, just slower.
A: The Patriots are a second-tier team right now, because the Saints are all alone on that top rung. I spoke with several people in the wake of the Monday night loss who know a lot more about the game than I do, and they still believe the Patriots are still one of the top 5-7 teams in the NFL. In addition, one person said that what happened on Monday speaks more to New Orleans' dominance that New England's struggles. If you forced me to choose right now, I'd say the top team in the league right now is New Orleans, with — in no particular order — the Patriots, Indianapolis, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Dallas, San Diego and Denver on that next level, with Pittsburgh and either Baltimore or Arizona rounding out the top 10. But I'd agree with you about the lack of playmakers on defense. That needs to be remedied, and fast.
The next person that calls Belichick a "defensive genius" ought to be committed. This defense, and in particular the d-backs, have been shredded not just Monday against the Saints but against the Colts, among others. They don't hit anyone, they don't tackle (whether they can is another story). They aren't fast enough to keep up with receivers and don't do anything to slow anyone down. It is depressing and frustrating to watch them make the same mistake and same play every time down the field. If anyone seriously thinks this team is a contender for a Super Bowl the way the Patriots have looked the last three weeks, they should have their head examined.
A: I thought our columnist Kerry Byrne did a good job with the idea that Belichick's reputation as a defensive genius was left in tatters in the wake of Monday's game against New Orleans. (Check out that story here.) The Patriots' defensive backs have been on a roller coaster all season — they came into the season as the great unknown quantity. There have been times where they have played well, and there have been times where they have struggled. I'd go back to the idea of team defense, and because of that, I'd say it was a combination of things that doomed the New England defense against the Saints. No pass rush, poor coverage and missed tackles are a recipe for failure, no matter whom you're playing against.
Well, NOW everyone knows why Belichick went for it on fourth-and-2 against the Colts: WE. CAN'T. STOP. ANYBODY. As usual, the offense played well enough to win (Brady's interceptions notwithstanding), but we STILL let receivers get a free release off the lines — never mind that Saints defensive backs have to draw blood to get a call. We have NO pass rush — maybe it might be time to send guys in the blitz!?!?!
Overall, this loss doesn't impact us too badly. We'd REALLY have to screw the pooch to not make the playoffs, and things set up very well for us to get a first-round bye. I have no doubt that should we see these guys (Come on, they're the bleeping SAINTS for the love of God!) or the Colts in the playoffs, we'll win. I don't think there's been a team in the NFL going back eight years that could beat us twice in a season.
A: Let's end on this semi-optimistic note. (You get extra points because of the Ali G reference, Boo. Respect.) I think that in the grand scheme of things, the Patriots still are very much in the mix for a possible first-round bye, especially when you consider the schedules the rest of the way. New England finishes with a ridiculously easy schedule (the only team over .500 is Jacksonville, and the Jaguars are 6-5), which means that 12-4 is pretty much a lock. Assuming that the Colts will capture the No. 1 seed, the No. 2 seed remains in play, with Cincinnati (currently at No. 2 with an 8-3 record), San Diego (tied for No. 2 spot) behind them. The Broncos have the edge on the Patriots for the fourth spot — both have a 7-4 mark. But a scenario exists where the Patriots could move up to No. 2 — the Bengals face the Vikings in Minnesota as well as the Chargers in San Diego and the Jets at the Meadowlands. They won't finish 13-3. Meanwhile, the Chargers have road games against the Cowboys and the smoking-hot Titans, while the Broncos have roadies left against the Colts and Eagles. They also will likely lose at least one game in each of those scenarios. New England has zero margin for error, but if the Patriots run the table, the No. 2 seed is up for grabs. Where they go from there is anyone's guess. But you get that home field until the AFC championship game in Indy, well …

164/365 – Something about the Mini Cooper S (or even the John Cooper Works version) is intriguing to me. Enough that I am considering buying one.

115/365 – I was fumbling with it the other day after I bought it, and saw a tab underneath that implied you could open the car. Sure enough, I was able to pry the body off. Really cool casting, I wish they made more of them like this. Would make customizing so much easier (not that I have done any of that yet).

If these were larger they'd be truly beauttiful. These are very small and I wouldn't recommend them. They are overpriced due to the small size.
Smaller than I expected, but very nice quality. I do not regret this purchase, and actually believe that these would make nice little gifts.
I love the orange color. I thought it was small but it holds a good amount of salt/pepper. It's a smooth wood so my cats can knock it over without marring them. I think they are adorable and unique.

- Concerts
There's no better way to experience a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band like The Eagles than inside an equally legendary venue such as Madison Square Garden in New York City. Scheduled for Sept. 13, this concert will be the first of two at MSG, and is part of the extensive History of The Eagles that originally launched in summer 2013 but has since added several new legs to accommodate consistent nationwide demand.
Madison Square Garden Seating Information
For The Eagles concert at MSG, the stage is expected to be constructed in front of Sections 110-114. All seating areas for the performance are reserved only. Floor Level seats can be found in front of the stage, separated into Sections A-C and D-F, while the Riser seats behind them are separated into Sections 01-03. The first main level of traditional stadium seating includes Sections 101-120, and the Suite Level is located above that and wraps completely around the venue. The next level includes Sections 201-227, while Sections 300-317 make up the Balcony and the Chase Bridge, and the 400 level includes Sections 412-421. Keep in mind that some seating sections may have a limited or obstructed view during The Eagles show, though this will usually be noted within the ticket listing.
Madison Square Garden General Information
To ensure a safe and enjoyable concert experience on Sept. 13, all guests and bags will be subject to search. Keep in mind that items such as video cameras, professional camera equipment, outside food and beverages, and large bags and banners are prohibited. Small, personal cameras are generally allowed provided it's in line with the artists' preference.
Madison Square Garden Parking Information
Madison Square Garden does not offer any on-site parking, but there are numerous privately owned parking garages and lots located within walking distance of the venue. Most lots offer accessible parking spaces, and many offer pre-paid parking. However, public transportation is generally the best way to travel to MSG.
Madison Square Garden Gate Times
Madison Square Garden gates will likely open one hour before The Eagles concert begins, but this is subject to change without notice.
