I. Welcome and Announcements:
Howard Segal read the following about Helen Young, former Faculty Senate Administrative Assistant, followed by a moment of silence.
"-ORONO – Helen Young, born Aug. 25, 1917, died Jan. 6, 2014, in Orono. She was the widow of long-time Professor of Forestry Harold Young.
Helen began working at the University of Maine part time in the Forestry department when the children were young. In 1970 she resumed full time work as the administrative assistant at the Faculty Senate, where she also provided extra assistance to the elected president of that group. Each year she worked for a different president of the Senate. Some of the Senate presidents later told the family that it seemed more that they were working for Helen! Helen quickly became the institutional memory of the Faculty Senate. She truly loved her job and she especially liked that she was helping the University. She continued to work for the Faculty Senate until she was 81 years old. "

III. Committee Reports
BOT Rep – Robert Rice
The Board of Trustees met on January 27, 2014 and the BOT Reps met with the Chancellor a week prior. Members of the Board of Visitors were in attendance with UMaine BOV Rep Christopher Emmons advocating for UMaine. The Morse family donated about $800,000 for a high definition screen for instant replay, required by the NCAA, and a tribute was read for former trustee Charles O'Leary.
A discussion of post tenure increases with the Chancellor where he stated that post tenure increases are given to approximately 90% of applicants and he was concerned with that. The Vice Chair stated that there is a discrepancy between the board policy and the contract. Emmanuel Boss addressed the BOT regarding the travel policy and the complexity of the issue. The information was received well by the BOT. The subject of structural gap came up. The Chancellor told the BOT that the structural gap is severe. The gap is too large for individual campuses and the goals of the System can't be achieved without significant structural changes.
The Vice Chancellor Wyke estimated the gap increases and the potential problems between FY 14 – 19 will be $69 million, currently at $39 million. UMaine runs financial ratios, by running those this campus has done pretty well, the data suggests UMaine is financially healthy.
Vice Chancellor Susan Hunter is looking at the potential for joint appointments across the system. She's looking at programs to accomplish this.
Is the BOT really alarmed over post tenure and are they really surprised that over 90% do satisfactory work?
When it was discussed they stated that Post Tenure was set up by the System with a low bar.
What is the structural gap and how do employees contribute so much?
Janet Waldron said if you take current operations and forecast forward with certain assumptions on revenue and expenses you see what you have for a gap between those. Approximately 70% of the expenditure is benefits and compensation packages.
Why cut employees instead of technology or other things, how can you run a University without employees?
How come Faculty aren't seen as generating income based on FTE's instead of what we cost?
Jim McClymer stated, the revenue needs to be pointed out and not raising tuition wasn't responsible, not advocating for more money from the state, etc. All areas need to be worked on instead of saying you need to do more with less.
Has it been stated that UMaine will need to bailout campuses that don't make numbers work?
No idea
President Ferguson said the solution is not to cut 16% of faculty. It's how you project over the next five or so years, a new business model that works and addresses the revenue lost. The tuition decision will need to be looked at.
Vice Chancellor mentioned that the System had too much infrastructure and employees. How does that apply to UMaine?
The President stated, there might be campuses that have too big a footprint for the operation but that doesn't necessarily apply to UMaine. There is a lower density with Cooperative Ext and the Experiment Station. It comes back to the question of where UMaine sits. If there's a system wide statement you need to see where UMaine fits in and keep it in perspective.

Committee of the Administration
No report.
IV. Open Comments from the Administration
What is the number of suspended faculty searches campus-wide and, if available, system-wide? Some of the suspended positions were belatedly approved a few months ago LONG after discussions with various departments and with faculty who would otherwise likely not have retired. The delays in approval precluded getting started on searches till recently–only to have them suspended and to infuriate faculty (and staff and students), both faculty who signed off on retirements and their remaining colleagues.
There are no active searches suspended. There are 16 active faculty searches, 7 requests to fill that are on hold until March 1, three faculty positions given approval but it has been communicated that those cannot go forward at this time.
Would you clarify that when a faculty member was assured if they retired the position would be filled, if seven searches are suspended was this a miscommunication? Some faculty wouldn't have agreed to retire knowing positions would not be filled.
Jeff St. John stated that the way it stands, active searches are moving forward but other searches that were on Dean's lists are being held due to budget issues right now. Because they hadn't gotten of the ground they weren't moved to active status.
Why is March 1 an important date.
All positions and the retirement incentive are all in play for balancing the budget. There are a number of positions to be filled and a number of retirements. March 1 is the first date the retirements roll out. Janet Waldron stated that this is where the structural gap comes in to play. You need all the information together to meet financial and institutional needs i.e., retirement incentives and contract that was ratified.
The conversation is difficult considering people who have taken retirement leaves nobody to teach the students. We have a new scoreboard at the cost of $800,000 for the NCAA, and a raise to the Athletic Director over what the last one made. That raise would have paid for an instructor. You can't add students and reduce faculty.
President Ferguson said the scoreboard was made possible by a private donor.
How are you going to hire someone in March, searches take place in October and November?
Janet Waldron stated that it's a difficult situation because the information is still being gathers. Decisions are being made as best they can with the limited information. The issues are very real and we're trying to figure it out to resolve the largest structural gap since she came to UMaine.
Letting a lot of students show up in the fall and not get in to classes isn't going to do much for retention.
Jim McClymer said the Board stated the gift was $750,000 and the additional $50,000 could come from gifts or E&G.
Have you figured out, for retirement, what the pay back period is, are there any internal calculations being done? The Board made clear that they'd like to see as many retirements as possible, is that the UMaine position as well?
President Ferguson stated it's not the UMaine position, it's more what the retirement incentive was as approved by the System and was part of the contract negotiations. UMaine doesn't want a lot to retire but trying to manage those that take the incentive. That's what we are trying to figure out.
Janet Waldron clarified the scoreboard issue, it is expected that it will all be gift money. There is always a line put in with E&G for unexpected issues that may come up but the full amount is expected to be from donation.
Mechanical Engineering has had enrollment growth over the years. Technical writing was split over three years by taking one credit each year; this strengthened the much needed communication component for students when they graduated. Because of enrollment increases this can no longer be done and math is also an issue with students not getting the class they need. An increase in an Athletic Directors salary is the salary of an instructor, "…that's a big deal."
Some say positions are going to the System. How do we prepare for that, how will this work with Signature Programs, Emerging and Foundational programs. This may mean a loss of decision-making.
President Ferguson doesn't see a move to centralize and has not been told or agreed to that. There is a move to better coordinate positions but not centralization.
How can departments move forward if positions are not filled?
Fair to ask because it's blurry. The BOT and System are trying to figure that out but there's no clear path.
What is the Carrying Capacity of UMaine based on the number of students? If the university keeps growing, given infrastructure, how can there continue to be growth without additional resources?
Janet said, hoping UMaine would be in a position where revenue covers expenditures but it's not. Not prepared for the compensation packages. There's approx. $10-11 million in retro raises due and retirement incentives, which are significant. Enrollment Management, hard work being put in to increase enrollment, we anticipate no gap here with continued growth. Need to get through FY15 and then start to put in the kinds of positions needed.
That doesn't answer the question, what is the optimal carrying capacity?
The Blue Sky Plan shot for 15,000. That's not to say there is capacity or faculty to cover the 15,000. With some investments it would be possible.
What is the status of searches by the System such as IT personnel and other administrative staff? Are these suspended as well? If not, why?
The System completely reorganized IT; there have been title changes after Administrative Reviews so searches were conducted for the new position titles. Several were existing staff with new titles, but really can't speak to all that.
Regarding Coordinated Chair positions across the system, Michael Grillo asked if it's required that his position be shared with other campuses, it will take away from research. At what point will faculty be in charge of curriculum? "It's frightful"
There is no plan on the table being discussed, don't see faculty being distributed arbitrarily.
It's concerning that positions with lack of capacity and other campuses that are fine. The flagship campus is short of lecturers in English or first two semesters of Calculus. So, we have first year students on their laptop watching a lecture from Fort Kent? They don't come to this campus to sit in front of a laptop for their classes.
The President said this is a threat but there is nothing currently on the table.
The Bridge Program, English is heavily involved but never invited to any meetings. Faculty is supposed to have control over curriculum but classes need to be eliminated because there's no one to teach them.
Scott Dunning thanked the President and Janet, hoped they heard the concerns of the faculty as they see expenses and constraints on the faculty.
President Ferguson thanked Scott for the statement and appreciated Scott knowing the position he and Janet are in. The state of the higher education system is in trouble and trying to work as a team to help that. We need to work together to define the path and lead the state to a better higher education system and resist the tension and threat to the high quality of what UMaine is and should be. FY 15 is a huge crisis to figure out right now.
Mike Scott asked about an email received regarding a new type of classroom but stating that a faculty member could only use the room once and then priority will be given to someone else. If faculty have to develop new material for the classroom environment but can only use it once, that's discouraging. Is there faculty at the table to discuss these things?
Jeff St. John said he believed the email stated that due to possible high interest in scheduling that classroom we'd like to see as many schedule it as possible. It was stated that it is preferred that one department doesn't book the room semester after semester so others have an opportunity to use it.
Mike stated, things like this could be flushed out if there was a Classroom Committee working on it.

Before the recession, Target was the cheap, chic, cool kid of discount retail. But now, retail analysts are wondering whether Target can bounce back with the economy. Shares of the Minneapolis-based company's stock fell to their lowest point in a year this week — down more than 25 percent — and the retailer saw just a 2 percent increase in same-store sales for the first quarter. What went wrong? Here, four theories:
1. The brand has become muddled
Target lost its cachet by emphasizing low prices on food and other basic goods during the recession, says Goldman Sachs retail analyst Adrianne Shapira, as quoted by The Wall Street Journal. That might have been a smart move at the time, but it's driven away the higher-end shoppers who buy the cool stuff. "It is as if [Target has] fallen off people's shopping list for discretionary products."
2. Formerly uncool competitors caught up
"Some of Target's struggles may also owe to the changing competitive landscape," says Ann Zimmerman in The Wall Street Journal. In its coolest days, the company was a cheaper-chic innovator. Now, competitors like Kohl's and J.C. Penney have "taken a page from the Target playbook" and added their own affordable designer goods, partnering with big names like Vera Wang and Ralph Lauren.
3. Target made poor political decisions
Blame Target's support for a conservative anti-gay group, says Jenna Sauers at Jezebel. Last year the company gave $150,000 to a group that supported opponents of same-sex marriage, causing Lady Gaga to block her new album from being sold at Target. For years, "people who think themselves politically liberal" regarded Target as a "kinder, gentler, designer-y-er retail safe space," at least compared to Wal-Mart's "union-busting, Main-Street-killing, profiteering corporate hydra." Now Target's reputation with liberals is fading, and the truth is rearing its not-so-cool head.
4. It's the economy, stupid
"The problem here is that customers can't afford the pricey, trendy items that Target wants to be known for," says Kim Peterson at MSN Money. The economy is still flailing, and people just aren't spending a lot on discretionary items. But, that's not the only reason the company's stock price is down. With many Americans still struggling to make ends meet, Target and Wal-Mart are losing customers, and even investors, to even cheaper discount and dollar stores.

I first dropped into Barleycorn's with a company event to brew two batches before the holidays. I'd heard good things and long been thinking about going but never had for one reason or another. After brewing and bottling two batches (12gal) I was hooked. The beer came out just right and there was no cleanup. (wives appreciate that...)
Anyhoo... I told some buddies of mine about it and we decided to go into together and push the envelope and make a Trappiste. I figured if the BOP can get a belgian together then all else should be fine. We had to wait a few days while Dan at Barleycorn's prepped the yeast but it was worth the wait. Using the recipe he had, we brewed a batch that was very true to the style and an absolute gem of a homebrewed Trappiste.
A few weeks later I got an e-mail about a special event brewfest featuring Beligans and got it on it. We brewed 6 different Belgians (Saison, Tripel, Dubbel, Wit, Trappiste, and Brun) and they all came out pretty true to style, and I got 6 22oz of each for only 75 bucks.
I went back and brewed a Maibock (again an e-mail special) and have been enjoying that one for a while now (those 12 gallon batches tend to last more than the usual 5 gal homebrew.)
If you go, make sure if you live in the area to get on the mailing list because there are always special brewfests, guest brewers and style specials. And if you aren't happy with what styles Dan has the stock recipies, just let him know and he's more than happy to accomodate your tastes with enough notice.
All in all, since I've gone BOP, I haven't touched my home equipment and my wife hasn't complained about that "smell." You know the lovely scent of grain and hops, with just a hint of bleach....

Ive been looking forward to brewing my own beer for several years. My 1st experience doing it at home with a friend, was a disaster. The idea of a BOP appealed to me, but I just never got around to it until recently.
Barleycorns didnt have the best website, and Ill admit that Dan didnt sound all that friendly when I first called, but dont let the 1st impressions cloud your view of this place. My experience was wonderful.
I selected to brew a Maibock, not something for the faint of heart (or for that matter rookie brewers). Dan greeted me warmly when I arrived, and got me started immediately weighing and milling my malt. He then introduced me to his brewing system, and I was amazed. He has a 6 kettle system that is heated entirely by steam, and as an engineer I was impressed by the efficiency and ease-of-use of the system.
The brewing process went off perfectly, and took 2 hours just as Dan promised. As others have previously noted, no cleanup was involved. Nice this time, but I may volunteer to help next. I came back in 3 weeks for the bottling, and this, just as with the brewing went well.
I was extremely pleased with the beer. Maibock is not an easy brew. The color, aroma and taste of the beer were more than I expected, and I really give Dan credit for the quality of the recipe, and the overall brewing process.
I cant say enough good things about this place, and I cant wait to come back and try an IPA.

I visited this shop once. As a home brew ingredient supplier, I would rate this shop as awesome. I went in to ask for an ale kit, and the owner assembled it fresh in about five minutes, with brewing instructions. Malt extracts, whole grain, Irish moss, hops, and yeast, all well packaged and clearly labeled. The take-home kit supplies were fresh and delicious. Very mellow proprietor. The brew-on-premises smelled great, and is a really good value for the quality and quantity.
Visited the store again recently in the early evening for an ale kit. A group was bottling and labeling their completed brew, so I saw more of the equipment in use. Bustling, clean, well laid out, and the customers and staff were good-natured and having a good time.
A fun place providing a good brewing and supplies experience.

Good homebrew shop it had all the ingredients I was looking for to make my first all grain recipe. Seemed like a good selection of grains, hop pellets (no whole) and yeast as well as large drums of liquid malt extract. In addition I was able to purchase exactly the amount of each ingredient I needed without having to get extra as you have to at some homebrew shops where everything is prepackaged. The only guy working when I went, probably the owner, helped me select a yeast strain and seemed pretty knowledgeable about home brewing in general. Prices seemed fair, but not outstanding and the place was big and pretty clean except for some random empty bottles of craft beer. Everything seemed fresh, but I cannot speak to actual ingredient quality until my EPA is finished. I plan on returning shortly to get ingredients for a barley wine.
Edit: Both beers turned out well, seems like the ingredients were fresh and of good quality.

I have brewed at Barleycorns three times, making a Porter, an IPA and a clone of Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale just a few weeks ago. Each Time the beer has come out extremely well and excellent tasting. The employees, especially Dan, are very knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating.
The only downside of Barleycorns is the bottling machines; they are very finicky and many times fail to fill up the bottle on the first attempt, greatly slowing down the process. I have not been to any other brew on premise places but I would definitely recommend this place and cannot wait to go back.

Just finished my first brew at this establishment. I would have to say that my overall experiance was very positive.
The staff know what they are doing and are generally on top of things.
I brewed a best bitter and am very happy with the result.The atmosphere was all about the beer.From the smell of the place to the down times in the process when you can relax and sample what others have brewed.
My only critisisms of the place are the tempromental bottle fillers and that I think the place is due for a good spring cleaning.
I will be back.

Went in here for noob supplies over the weekend. I am reviewing this as a supply store rather than a BOP because that was the purpose of my visits.
The quality of ingredients seems to be very good - fresh pellet hops with a good selection of dry and liquid yeast. Malts are plentiful, with extract available fresh out of the tank.
Service was solid - a little slow one time because a boatload of BOP customers were there, but that's their bread and butter so I won't fault that. Quite knowledgeable.
Prices aren't bad for the area and it's a close drive so I would return for hop pellets and malts especially. Decent stop.

I visited Barleycorns while questing for home brew ingredients. The establishment is more of a BOP than a homebrew shop, but it certainly offers plenty of ingredients and recipes for an extract brewer. They even have a number of recipes from guest brewers like Todd Mott, Will Meyers and Dan Paquette.
The owner, Dan, seems knowledgeable and eager to help. It was a pleasure doing business.
I didn't see very much equipment for sale. There were some basic beginner kits, but it didn't seem like Barleycorns was the place to run to if you were working on building an all grain or keg system. The shop is optimized to support the BOP customers, and not to supply the home brewers.

Hello all computer crashed was only trying to watch a video on hedgehogs
4thPanda sure I can sort out a bug box for you, what sort of style would you like floor one or one to hang up, any colour?
Not sure what bugs like them but do hope something will move in, I do enjoy making them and loads of twigs left in the garden for more
Bob if it is a hedgehog do I need to put any food out for it?
Evening all
put up my bug box today which I was making yesterday
chopped up a few trees today so garden waste bin filling up
There was a noise in the pampas grass today so maybe some animal living in there
Can anyone ID this poo?
Hello all
Just popped in for lunch, colder out there today trimmed a few trees bits and fed the birds
watched Carols life in cottage garden on iplayer today even though seen before good to watch more than once
Stacey, funnily enough we did get them from a car. It was through freecycle, which is where people get rid of things they no longer want for free, (you just have to pick them up). These were still on the rims.
We also got some tyres from a garage that changes tyres, they have to pay to get rid of them so welcome anyone who wants them to take them away. These ones come without the rims and you can choose any size you like. These are easier to turn inside out to make the planters. You need ones with soft sides as these turn well.
Or watch this one great enjoyment
Chicky like your pictures
Nutcutlet you may be able to work it out from my other thread, drawn shape wrong way so will end up looking like a flower when cut out if not you end up with points and then when turned inside out the tyre is much bigger
watch this
thanks Mrs Garden, Woody, Nutcutlet and chicky
Hello ro3 - I have not painted the tyre planters, you can use masonry paint to paint them and a brush
here is an update of the tyre planters done
this one was done on Saturday planted up with daff and tulips and crocus
these ones were just weeded and covered with more dirt
It was me chicky I was the one cutting them up with a stanley knife after I figured out how to do it, drawing around a plate to shape the petals
Here is the thread I did before for you all to look at
Hello Chicky you snuck in before me sounds that Wisley was a good outing, only been once will have to go again sometime

Counting Teacher Resources
Find Counting educational ideas and activities
Showing 1 - 20 of 22,172 resources
Agricultural survey and the documentation of livestock or goods was the basis for the first written language. Youngsters discuss sorting and counting, and how these skills have been used for thousands of years. They accent their class discussion by reading an informational passage and using the information to create a survey-inspired work of art.
Working with kindergartners one-on-one, you will identify their ability to count by 1s and 10s and conclude what levels they have mastered, as well as where they need skills practice and instruction. The commentary provided will aid you in knowing what to look for when administering this assessment. Examples of common mistakes of young learners are noted. This assessment can be used at the beginning of the year and then again at the end of the first quarter to record benchmarks and progress.
Fill those extra ten minutes of math time with this fun counting activity. Given a short sequence of numbers, young mathematicians stand in a circle and count one-by-one until the last number is reached, at which point the whole group claps and the last child has a seat in the middle of the circle. The rest of the group then repeats the process until only one person is left standing. The flexibility of this activity allows teachers to choose number sequences that focus on specific trouble spots, or that introduce students to skip counting and counting backward. This quick and simple activity can be performed anytime, anywhere and engages primary grade learners in developing this fundamental math skill.
Using a 100s chart or a number line with a pointer, work with your class to count up to 100 by ones and tens. As a part of daily instruction, prompt your kindergartners to chant count from 1 to 30. Move on to 1 to 50, and then from 1 to 100. Highlight groups of tens and count by tens in the same fashion. This should be done daily. A number line around the room can be a visual prompter for counting together at any time. A 100s chart is also great to use, especially if it is laminated and can be colored in. Use counting for transitions. Here is an example: please meet me on the rug before I count to 30, and count with me as you walk. Great practical guidance on working toward this skill base on a class level.
Using a number line or a 100s chart that extends past 100, practice counting from 1 to 120 with your class. As a part of daily instruction, chant count in sequence from 1 to 100 and then randomly chose a number and count onward to 120. Visually highlight multiples of ten and chant in sequence by 10s, 5s, and 2s. Backward counting should also be modeled and practiced. Choose random numbers each day to support flexibility and range in counting.
Take stroll around the classroom while teaching young mathematicians to count fluently with this whole-group math activity. The teacher starts things off by walking around the room while counting up from the number one and continues until he/she stops and taps a student on the shoulder. At this point, the teacher and student switch positions and the child resumes the count, with this process being repeated until the entire class has been given the chance to participate. Once students are comfortable counting forward by ones, consider extending the activity by introducing skip counting or counting backward. Use this activity as a transition into daily math lessons, or to fill time following a lesson that ends early.
Capture the engagement of young mathematicians with this hands-on sorting activity. Given a bag of objects, students work independently sorting the items based on their physical attributes, counting to determine the size of each group. This process is repeated as young learners explore different ways of sorting the same set of objects. A fun primary grade math lesson that develops the counting skills and number sense of young children.
Young mathematicians are on their feet and moving around in this primary grade sorting activity. After giving each child an object or picture card, they then sort themselves into groups, counting to see which has the most or least members. As additional support, consider creating sentence frames and flash cards that correctly model how to use comparison language. An engaging activity that provides young learners with a great opporutunity to practice counting and comparing numbers.
Here is another learning game that will engage your kindergartners and support them with their counting fluency. Forming a circle where everyone faces inward, choose a counting sequence (counting frontward or backward) with no more than 8-10 numbers such as 1-10 or 10-1. The children will then count around the circle until the last number is reached, the class will clap,and that child will sit in the center of the circle. Continue the game until there is only one counter left. A great circle time activity that your class will thoroughly enjoy!
Similar to the game duck, duck, goose, assemble your class in a circle. Choose a number range (within ten numbers) begin walking around the circle counting and select a child by tapping her. The child then picks up the counting sequence and continues until you give her the signal to stop and pick the next counter (the child closest to her when she stops). This game reinforces counting in sequence and in time to mix things up backward sequences can be used.
Post-Halloween learners bring in candy treats to use for counting practice. They estimate how full a bowl of candy will get when there are 100 and 200 pieces of candy counted and put in it. They take turns counting to 100 and 200; counting by 1s, 2s, 5s, etc. per instruction. Students receive one piece of candy when they count to 20 correctly, or if they hear a classmate make a mistake while counting.
Students discuss the kinds of things they count and how to use tally marks. For this social science lesson, students count animal crackers by using tally marks for each kind of animal. The tally marks are changed into numbers and one person in the group states the "livesotck report." Students do the same thing with the snack mix representing the different crops.
Students practice the skill of skip counting. In this early math lesson, students try counting at different rates, beinning at one and progressing to the number ten. Students create a number grid with Crayola Crayons.
In this online interactive reading comprehension worksheet, students respond to 15 multiple choice questions about Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo. Students may submit their answers to be scored.
Students recognize that counting tells how many objects are in the set irrespective of how they are arranged or the order in which they are counted. They solve problems involving one more or less to a given set using their knowledge of the forward and backward number sequences.
Second graders demonstrate how to count change. In this consumer math instructional activity, 2nd graders read the book The Penny Pot and identify the value of coins. Students complete a worksheet to practice counting coins.
In whole group practice, children count together and identify how many objects are drawn on butcher paper, increasing the number when they have achieved fluency. In pairs, they count manipulatives. They then copy series of numbers from the board, write numbers for practice, and fill in the blanks with missing numbers. Differentiate for K-3 grade level expectations.
Introduce counting and recognizing numeric order to your little learners. Read the book Mouse Count and pretend to count mice. This lesson is very cute and helps kids count forward and backward from 0 to 10.
Students demonstrate counting to 10 or 20. They read and discuss "The Cheerios Counting Book," match number cards to Cheerios, and create a Cheerios necklace.
Learners practice counting using a website "Let's Count". They point to each object and count and pull down a tab to check their answers.

New Rule Permits Early Release for Thousands of Drug Offenders
WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of prisoners serving time for federal drug offenses will be eligible to seek early release beginning next year.
The United States Sentencing Commission, which voted in April to reduce the penalties for most drug crimes, voted unanimously on Friday to make that change retroactive. It will apply to nearly 50,000 federal inmates who are serving time under the old rules.

Shadow Report of The Sentencing Project to the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
Along with 11 allied civil rights and justice reform organizations, The Sentencing Project submitted a shadow report regarding racial disparities in the justice system to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD). Our report documents continuing disparities in incarceration, the imposition of juvenile life without parole, the death penalty, and felony disenfranchisement. The review of United States' compliance with the CERD convention will take place in August.

America's stupidest criminal laws
Imagine this: two defendants, same age, smoke a joint with some friends one July evening in their respective apartments. Neither has a criminal record. Both get caught; one faces an extra two years in jail.
Why? Because he shared drugs within a certain number of feet from a school that's been out for a month.
The so-called 'Drug Free School Zone' is one of many laws that create extra penalties for already illegal acts with no reasonable tie to the public's safety or the defendant's particular circumstances.

Missouri Expands Eligibility for Food Stamps to Persons with Felony Drug Convictions
Missouri Governor Jay Neal has signed Senate Bill 680, which modifies the federal lifetime ban on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), for persons with felony drug convictions. Although the new law is a step in the right direction, it imposes a one-year waiting period after a conviction or release from custody.

Later in the day, the Vikings added their second new cornerback in a week, reaching agreement with unrestricted free agent Ken Irvin, who played for the New Orleans Saints in 2002.
Irvin, 30, netted a three-year, $4.5 million contract that that includes a signing bonus of $1.2 million.
Irvin chose the Vikings over the Detroit Lions, and also had interest from a few other teams as well. The eight-year veteran played the first seven years of his career with the Buffalo Bills, before signing with New Orleans as a free agent last spring.
His addition, along with that of free agent Denard Walker last week, should significantly upgrade the Minnesota cornerback corps. Given what transpires over the rest of free agency, and where the coaches decide to use versatile Corey Chavous, who can play safety or cornerback, Irvin could challenge for a starting job. At worst, he should be the "nickel" corner, a role that he has filled in the past.
The former University of Memphis standout started nine contests for the Saints in 2002 and appeared in all 16. He had 62 tackles, two interceptions and 17 passes defensed. For his career, he has appeared in 124 games and started 63 of them, and has nine interceptions and 63 pass breakups.

It's time for Alphabe-Thursday's letter Q. That's a hard letter. It's also getting close to spring when I look forward to new green plants growing. I figured it would be the perfect time to share the reicpe I did last spring for asparagus quiche.
Start with the crust. I just mixed it in the pan I was using. I use the square baking dish rather than a real quiche or pie pan. Put one cup of flour in the pan. Cut 1 1/2 cups shortening into the flour.
Add 1/2 cup of water and mix it together.
Press the crust into the pan.
You can set this aside while you make the filling. Chop 1/2 cup of celery, 1/2 cup of mushroom and 1/2 cup of onion. You also need 1 cup of asparagus tips.
Sautee the mushroom, onion, and celery in some olive oil. Add the asparagus and sautee until the veggies are just tender
You can spread the vegetables over the crust and set them aside.
To mix the custard filling, you need six eggs.
Add 1 1/2 cups of milk and mix thoroughly.
To the egg and milk add 1 teaspoon of salt, a dash of pepper and 2 tablespoons of flour. Mix it thoroughly with the whisk.
Grate two cups of swiss cheese.
Add this to the egg mixture.
Pour this over the vegetables in the crust.
Sprinkle the top with ginger.
Bake the quiche in a 350* oven for about one hour.
Honestly, I wasn't too thrilled with the way it turned out, but I don't like to waste food, and it wasn't bad. The next day as leftovers, however, it was wonderful! Letting it sit allowed all the flavors to blend. I'm certainly going to make this again this spring.

C++ support from Windows Phone 8
Windows Phone 8 SDK adds two new sets of APIs to develop applications using native code. This article will explain how to use C++ under Windows Phone and some general directions that any C++ developer should know when targeting the platform.
Note: This is a community entry in the Windows Phone 8 Wiki Competition 2012Q4
Windows Phone 8
Windows Phone 8 SDK adds two new sets of APIs to develop applications using native code. This article will explain how to use C++ under Windows Phone and some general directions that any C++ developer should know when targeting the platform.
WIndows Phoen 8 SDK API is divided into three part. These APIs are complementary :
- .Net gives interaction with Windows phone functionality like live tiles, send sms, ...
- Windows Phone runtime is a intermediate API which gives access to low level functionality like voice Command, voip,...
- Native code gives access to low level API like socket, Direct X, ...
For more information read :Windows Phone API reference
.Net (C# & VB)
.Net API is the original Windows Phone framework. It lets you to develop GUI with XAML technologies, access principal functionality (live tiles, tasks, send Mail, sms, ...) and XNA. It's actually the most important framework to develop Windows Phone application. To develop with this framework you can use C# or VB. You can find .net reference documentation here :
Note : XNA is always supported, but only to develop Windows Phone 7 application. It's replaced by Direct3D with Windows Phone 8 .
Windows Phone runtime (c# ,VB & C++/CX)
This API have two functionalities :
- share API with windows 8. A subset of this api is shared with windows 8.
- mixes managed and native code. Managed and Native code are incompatible by nature but this API can be consumed by both.
This API is based on COM-like technology. Like COM is not user-friendly, Microsoft have created Visual C++ Language Reference (C++/CX) to Consume this API with C++ and create WinPRT components. This extension adds to C++ managed concept like garbage collector, properties, delegate, event.... To be consumed by manged code, class developed in C++/Cx generate metadata. In fact, VS translate this class to a COM-like Object before generating binary.
|with C++/CX
|whitout C++/CX
public ref class Number sealed
ref class myFactory sealed : Windows::ApplicationModel::Core::IFrameworkViewSource
IFrameworkView is the display provider use to make Direct3D rendering. Interface function are :
void myView::Initialize(CoreApplicationView^ applicationView)
void myView::SetWindow(CoreWindow^ window)
void myView::Run()
Native application have three importants points:
Without .Net functionality, native applications are not so cool and you are limited to Direct3D develop ... But remember, you can develop WinPRT components with C++/CX. So it's possible to encapsulate your c++ Code with C++/CX and consume it with managed code :p
Other wiki resources about Direct3D development:
Mixed application
You can develop mixed application where your managed code consume Windows Phone Runtime components. To develop with C++ Code, you must create a Windows Phone Runtime Component which interface C++ part with a public sealed C++/CX class . It's important to readC++ extension documentation to understand its specificities :
ref class myclass
myclass ^ myClass = ref new myclass ();
To be consumed by managed code, C++/CX code generate a set of metadata. This generation depend on access modifier :
Metadata are generated only for specific C++/CX objects. A C++/CX class can declare C++ object only if the member/function have a private or internal access. Your public Class/Struct must be sealed because Managed code can't override it.
//C++/CX class declaration which can be consumed by managed code
Public access is very strict, and only specific C++/CX objects can be used :
These Objects must be defined with these types :
Once your components is referenced by your managed application, you can consume it like other Managed object. It's so possible to bind public properties with XAML and connect to public events.
You can find interesting explanation here :
Warning : Windows phone implement a subset of the Windows 8 C++/CX namespace. Few object are not accessible.
Windows Phone Runtime API doesn't implement collections class. To transfer collection between managed and native code, a set of collections Interface are defined. These interface have Equivalent in managed. For example IVector besome an IList in C#.
C++/CX collections use C++ parts and can't be consumed directly by managed Code. Like these classes implement a Windows Phone Runtime interface, you can cast these to be consumed through the interface
Windows::Foundation::Collections::IVector<int>^ Class1::GetInts()
Windows::Foundation::Collections::IVector<int>^ Class1::GetInts()
You can't debug managed code and native code in same times. To selected which debugger you want use :
Direct 3D
Managed code can't access directly to Direct 3D. You must develop a WinPRT component which consume Direct3D with C++ code. Direct3D rendering can be display by two XAML controls:
Unfortunately, integration with XAML is more complicated. You need a layer of Interopility to acces to Direct3D device ( look Direct3DContentProvider.h class in VS project) ... SDk give two project template :
These projects share important code :
Your class must implement functions which are called by Direct3DContentProvider :
// IDrawingSurfaceContentProviderNative
this method are called by Direct3DContentProvider to give Direct3D context for rendering.
IDrawingSurfaceBackgroundContentProvider and IDrawingSurfaceContentProvider are empty interface. They are only use to associate your class with target UI Controler. But XXX::CreateContentProvider() is mportant :
IDrawingSurfaceContentProvider^ Direct3DInterop::CreateContentProvider()

A barn owned and operated as a wedding venue burned to the ground Tuesday morning in Fountain Inn.
Firefighters were called to Sanchez Way where a barn caught fire and was found fully engulfed in flames by six responding departments at about 2:30 a.m.
According to FOX Carolina's crew at the scene, the barn is a popular wedding venue named the Luv Shack on the River.
Firefighters said no one was injured in the blaze, and they do not yet know how it started.
They said there was a wedding planned there for Saturday. Helena Sisk's daughter Carmen was supposed to wed there, but she said they had to find a different venue in Laurens.
"She was crying hysterically, and she said 'The barn burnt down,'" Sisk said.
Sisk said a country club in Laurens County came through with four days to go until her daughter's wedding day.
The owner of the barn was not available for comment.
