Chris Matthews: Are All Catholic Bishops Republican?
The University of Notre Dame along with dozens of other Catholic institutions sued the Obama administration Monday to block the mandate requiring employers to provide contraceptives to employees.
In a discussion about this matter on MSNBC's Hardball Monday, host Chris Matthews asked one of his guests, "Do you think they're all Republican, the bishops?" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Well, what's the politics here between it seems to me the universities and the older Catholics, more conservative Catholics, and this administration and the younger people that go to these schools and a lot of them who work at these schools? What's the real politics going on here, Sister?
SISTER SIMONE CAMPBELL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR NETWORK, A NATIONAL CATHOLIC SOCIAL JUSTICE LOBBY: I think that this is mostly related to the project that the bishops have coming out in June which they're calling the Fortnight of Freedom. They want to raise up this idea that we in the United States are religiously persecuted. I quite frankly find that quite offensive because we have connections with people all over the world who are actually persecuted. And so the Catholic bishops saying that they are suffering under this persecution from this administration I think is more fueled politically, and is their effort to draw attention to what I understand is going to be quite a PR blitz that they're paying for.
MATTHEWS: Do you think they're all Republican, the bishops?
CAMPBELL: I don't know if they're all Republican, but it sure seems that they're speaking from the, the playbook, sort of possibly as surrogates for the Republican Party, I don't know. But they certainly are engaged in politics that seem much more aligned with the Right.
Matthews as a Catholic Democrat was either being tremendously dishonest with this question or really is losing his bearings.
Catholics in this country historically have been solidly Democratic, although this has waned in recent years.
As EWTN News reported in February, a 2011 Pew study found 48 percent of Catholics surveyed said they were Democrat or Democrat-leaning compared to 43 percent claiming to be Republican or Republican-leaning.
As such, it seems absurd to think all Catholic bishops are Republican.
But that's Matthews for you, always conjuring up a vast right-wing conspiracy to explain why folks have the nerve to disagree with the President that gives him a thrill up his leg.

Matthews proves that liberals (he is DEFINITELY a liberal) don't believe that religious values should have anything to do with how you life your life. They treat religion and its core values as an overcoat that you put on and take off when it is convenient, and then expect to force others to behave the same way.
How can any Catholic support a politician, let alone a political party, that believes abortion is OK, gay marriage is OK and forcing people to pay for services that are against their religious teachings is OK?

War on Catholicism
Submitted by MidAmerica on Mon, 05/21/2012 - 8:37pm.
Well let's see... attack a fundamental tenet of the Catholic Church and the obama people are surprised that the Catholic Church won't just roll over?
Who the hell is running obama's campaign? They better look for some Republican moles that have infiltrated Team obama. Taking on the Catholic Church in an election year has got to be one of the stupidest political moves I've ever seen.
Catholics want to vote democrat so where is the payoff for alienating them? It's like a wild animal that gnaws off its own foot.

It's not a war on Catholicism
Submitted by c5then on Mon, 05/21/2012 - 8:56pm.
It's a war on Christianity specifically and religion in general. Liberals are secularists. They believe that religion is something the someone does on one day a week in a special building for an hour or two. This is the latest skirmish in that war, but do not misunderstand, it is not just aimed at the Catholic church. It is aimed at all and any institution who would stand in the way of free contraception and free abortion at the taxpayer's expense. If they win this battle, it will escalate to forced gay marriage and forced employment of gays and pedophiles by religious schools. These policies apply equally to Protestant, Methodist, Baptist, etc institutions too.
Most Jewish and Islamic schools are insulated because they do not accept Federal money. The Catholic church, for better or worse decided to get in bed with the Federal Government. Now they are paying the price.

I think that Chris Matthews is with the Catholic Church not because they are religious. It is because they are not willing to surrender their institution and all their beliefs to be dictated to them from Chris Matthew's God, Barack Obama.

Submitted by Bliggie on Mon, 05/21/2012 - 9:59pm.
Only a leftist would even ask such a question. Because TINGLE UP HIS PUSS Chris Matthews only thinks in terms of political Ideology and because everything he does is based on this outlook he thinks everyone in the world must do the same. That is why they oppose the Great Obama, they must be Republicans. Communists (like Matthews) do not believe in God or an afterlife, that leaves them only the here and now, and they will do whatever it takes, i.e. lie, cheat, bribe, intimidate, find votes in car trunks, even purge the non-believers like uncle joe and chairman mao to get their way and push their agenda. We are seeing the first and dishonest part of that situation at work right before our very eyes and in our time with the corrupt leftists state media in America today.

Consitutional Rights
Submitted by LaVallette on Tue, 05/22/2012 - 7:13am.
So according to Matthews, standing up for your consitutional rights makes you a Republican. Then every American who respects the Rights guarnated under the Constituion of the USA and the Bill of Rights is or should be a Republican. By definition then, anyone who is aginst or is not prepared to stand up for these rights is a Democrat and a traitor against the principles the USA stands upon and for.
Incidentally, i bet anyhting that sister SISTER SIMONE CAMPBELL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR NETWORK, A NATIONAL CATHOLIC SOCIAL JUSTICE LOBBY is a member of the The Leadership Conference of Women Religious. Her comments here gives further evidence on why the Catholic Hierarchy has decide to take action to reform this group. It has ceased to stand for Catholic prinicples but has just become another progressive "social justice" pressure group and includes support for contrception, abortion, the gay lifestyle and the whole range of the progressive agenda which is cooroding the very fabric of Western JudeoChristian civilization.
If you do not like what Catholicism stands for, stop representing yourself as a Catholic and worse still a practicing Catholic in good standing. Latae sentenae excommunication is still on the books. A lot fo the so called "reformers from within" are not prophets. They are treacherous fifth columnists.

Christie here is a little secret just for you. Not everyone thinks that Obama is God.
There are still a fair amount of people in this country that believe in the rights that were granted to them in the Constitution. They still believe in the separation of church and state. They still believe in the laws of this country.
Kool-Aid drinker like you can continue believing that Obama is the "Messiah". You can continue to believe in the Obama version of socialism. You can believe that the current White House is competent. You see that is what is being fought for here, you can be wrong, a bigot, and a brainwashed moron and at least till you really lose it (very soon) no one will come and force you to acknowledge the real world (for you that means anti-delution medication after the stay),

Cardinal Bernardin's "seamless garment"
Submitted by CO2Maker on Tue, 05/22/2012 - 12:12pm.
The Catholic church regards life and its protection as very important. It's central to the core tenets. As Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago said many years ago, the protection of life in a "seamless garment" that regards everything that threatens life—from capital punishment to abortion—as grave sins.
Liberals support the prohibition of capital punishment, but they loathe any limitation on abortions.
Related to the church's stand against abortion is, of course, it's opposition to contraception, which directly affects women far more than men. And the church prohibits the ordination of women.
So the Catholic church is on its face opposed to women, and its protects pedophile celibate priests—men.
Who else opposes the aspirations and protections of women? Well, duh, Republicans. So the hierarchy of the church must be Republicans.

This Book Is Not Sold Online - In Store Special Order Only
Special Order - Subject to Availability
Dorothea Benton Frank returns to the enchanted landscape of South Carolina's Lowcountry made famous in her beloved New York Times bestseller Sullivans Island to tell the story of the next generation of Hamiltons and Hayes.
Newly graduated from college, aspiring writer Beth Hayes is elected by her family to house-sit the Island Gamble. Buoyed by sentimental memories of growing up on this tiny sandbar seemingly untouched by time, Beth vows to give herself over to the Lowcountry force and discover the wisdom it holds. Just as she vows she will never give into the delusional world of white picket fences, minivans, and eternal love, she meets Max Mitchell. All her convictions and plans begin to unravel with lightning speed.
There is so much about life and her family's past that she does not know. Her ignorance and naivetÉ nearly cost her both her inheritance and her family's respect, but Beth finds unexpected friends to help her through the disaster she faces. If everything happens for a reason, then Beth's return to Sullivans Island teaches her that betrayal and tragedy are most easily handled when you surround yourself with loyal family and friends in a magical place that loves you so much it wants to claim you as its own.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- A young boy digging for worms in northern Arizona found a gun buried near his home.
Flagstaff police say the stainless-steel .38-caliber revolver was in plastic bag along with one bullet just under the ground surface.
Police say it appears the gun was only covered up to hide it until someone came back to get it.
They say the gun's serial number has been checked and it's not reported missing.
Police say they don't know who owns the gun or how it ended up buried near the home of the 9-year-old boy who wasn't identified.
Authorities say the boy found it Monday.

To showcase the world-class fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, Panama City Beach is luring avid anglers with weekend-long fishing tournaments this fall. Running from Oct. 5 to Nov. 4, the City Pier vs. County Pier Challenge guarantees a prize purse totaling $7,500.
The M.B. Miller Pier (County Pier) and the Russell-Fields Pier (City Pier) are twin piers, both of which are prized as prime fishing spots for anglers of all ages. Extending more than 1,500 feet into the bountiful waters, the piers are two of the longest on the Gulf Coast. All visitors have the opportunity to cast a line for a local catch, with rod rentals and tackle available on site.
Each weekend during the contest, beginning at 5 a.m. on Friday through 5 p.m. Sunday, fishermen and women of all levels are invited to compete in the challenge, in hopes of securing the biggest catch in one of four categories – Spanish Mackerel, Flounder, King Mackerel and Pompano. A winner at each pier will be awarded in each fish category every weekend with a total of $1200 in prizes. A $250 prize will be awarded for the heaviest catch in each of the categories during the entire challenge. Kids are welcome to participate in the Children's Division, open to anglers 12 and under. Winners of the Children's Division, with the heaviest overall fish at each pier every weekend, will receive a $50 gift card.
Weigh-ins will take place at each pier and the winner will be announced on Sunday at 5:00 p.m. There is no entry fee required for the challenge, though participants must pay a pier fishing fee.

Tax Hike on Corporations, Wealthy
The Washington Post
President Obama is taking a hard line with congressional Republicans heading into negotiations over the year-end "fiscal cliff," making no opening concessions and calling for far more in new taxes than Republicans have so far been willing to consider.
Obama plans to open talks using his most recent budget proposal, which sought to raise taxes on corporations and the wealthy by $1.6 trillion over the next decade, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday. That's double the sum that House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-OH) offered Obama during secret debt negotiations in 2011.
Obama has been pressing to let the George W. Bush-era tax cuts expire at the end of the year for the wealthiest 2 percent of the nation's households, a tax hike adamantly opposed by Republicans. But Carney suggested that even the revenue generated by letting those tax cuts end would not be enough to tame the national debt and re-energize the economy.
Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner and other senior Democrats on Tuesday said Obama would not be willing to maintain the Bush tax rates in exchange for a cap on deductions for households earning more than $250,000 a year, a leading Republican alternative.
"I don't see how you do this without higher rates. I don't think there's any feasible, realistic way to do it," Geithner said at a conference in Washington. "When you take a cold, hard look at the amount of resources you can raise from that top 2 percent of Americans through limiting deductions, you will find yourself disappointed relative to the magnitude of the revenue increases that we need."
Democrats said Obama is likely to maintain a tough stance Friday, when Boehner and other congressional leaders are due to gather at the White House for their first face-to-face discussions about how to avoid the fiscal cliff. Fresh off a resounding electoral victory in which they kept the White House and picked up seats in the House and Senate, Democrats said there is no reason to compromise now on a central plank of the president's platform.
"It was an intrinsic part of his campaign, and the public supports it. So what more do you want?" said Rep. Sander M. Levin (D-MI), the senior Democrat on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.
Although Republicans have offered fresh revenue in a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff, they have not proposed a specific target. Boehner suggested that negotiations resume on terms discussed in 2011, when he offered to raise $800 billion over the next decade through a rewrite of the tax code. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) endorsed that general idea Tuesday but warned Obama not to overplay his hand, noting that the president's $1.6 trillion tax request failed to receive a single vote in Congress in the spring.
"We're calling on him to lead, to take the initiative, propose a plan that's actually designed to succeed," McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor. "I'm not asking the president...to adopt our principles. I'm simply asking him to respect our principles by not insisting that we compromise them. Because we won't."
Editor's Note: Fair share!! Fair share!!! Fair share!!!!!...Wait, what is the fair share for those who don't pay federal income tax and who aren't on Social Security of disability?...Oh, that's right, zero...forgot about that...sounds fair, right??...Oh, and by the way, the Republican plan isn't simply to close loopholes for the wealthy, it is to close loopholes for all while broadening the tax base and actually reducing tax rates...when this system is scored the federal government actually takes in much more money...but Progressives hate the successful so very much, they continue to attack them at every turn, advancing class envy to divide and conquer...great group of people, those Progressives...

According to Swisher, this move is unrelated to Ballmer's restructuring plan and Mattrick has been planning this move for months. It is unknown at this time as to who will replace Mattrick.

Three Words Wednesday:
S for Simple
(not a complicated dish to make)
O for One (cause you can't eat just one)
S for Straightforward (no hidden tricks or hard to get ingredients)
1 c. of corn flakes, or Italian bread crumbs or 1 bag of Shake 'N Bake (I often use 1 cup of Honey Maid Honey Graham Crackers
1 pkg. of boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins
1 egg
sweet paprika
I like working with the boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins because they're already cut into chicken fingers, but if your store is out of them, you can use cutlets, or even fillets. You just have to cut them lengthwise and you'll have the shape of the fingers. I use separate cutting boards and knives for working with raw poultry. Be sure to thoroughly wash everything including your hands. I can't tell you how many times I wash my hands through this process! I think at least 20 times to be sure!
Beat egg, and then season the chicken with salt and pepper, then dip in the egg. Mix with the bread crumbs or if you're using Shake 'N Bake, just foll the directions on the Shake 'N Bake pouch. Make sure to coat each chicken piece generously with the crumbs. This gives the chicken its crunchy texture and egg acts as the binding agent.
Turn frying pan on to medium heat, coat with EVOO. Wait till hot and then carefully add each chicken. Fry till golden brown and turn on the other side. Continue to fry until golden brown all over and place on paper towel to drain off any excessive oils. Serve with the red pepper sauce.
Also good with honey mustard, ketchup or buffalo wing sauce. For a quick recipe on making buffalo wing sauce,click here!
Red Pepper Sauce
Difficulty: Easy
2 red peppers, diced
3-5 pieces sun dried tomatoes
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp yogurt or sour cream
freshly ground pepper and salt, to taste
Puree all the ingredients. Heat in a saucepan to a gentle boil.

By Matthew DeLuca, Staff Writer, NBC NewsBOSTON (NBC) - One hundred days after the Boston Marathon bombing that took his leg, Marc Fucarile plans to leave Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital on Wednesday -- the last of the wounded to head home.It will be Fucarile's first time home in more than three months, NBC News affiliate WHDH reported.Recovery has been a long road for the 34-year-old roofer whose heart still carries shrapnel from the homemade pressure cooker bombs that went off while he stood near the sidelines watching the marathon, a beloved annual rite for Bostonians.Fucarile, who is engaged and has a 5-year-old son, was sped from the chaos of Boylston Street immediately after the bomb blast to the hospital by first responders. He spent 45 days at Massachusetts General Hospital. He was one of the last victims to head from the hospital to rehab when he moved to Spaulding.A firefighter put a tourniquet on after his right leg was blown off by the second of two bombs that detonated near the race's finish line. The shocking aftermath was still vivid when he spoke with NBC News in May."I'm like, 'I don't want to die. I got a little boy and I got, you know, my fiancée. I don't want to die.' He's like, 'Just think of them. Just think of them. Keep them on your mind. Just hang in there," Fucarile said.A month ago, Fucarile said he could hardly wait to get out of his hospital bed."It's tough," Fucarile told New England Cable News at the end of June. "I mean, real tough. I don't want to be there, you know? Like anybody. But you have to be."Family members have said they have been by Fucarile's bedside every day since the bombing, taking off whole weeks from work and using up their vacation days to help their son, father, and friend get back into shape.His father, Ed Fucarile, was among those who attended the arraignment of bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on July 11, and wore a Boston Strong T-shirt with his son's name on it outside the courthouse afterward. He said he "expected a lot more" than he got from the hearing packed with survivors and their families.Fucarile's fiancée released a statement amid the outrage last week after Rolling Stone magazine's August issue featured a story on Tsarnaev titled "The Bomber: How a Popular, Promising Student Was Failed by His Family, Fell Into Radical Islam, and Became a Monster." Some felt the magazine's cover photo glamorized the suspect, and Fucarile's fiancée, Jen Regan, called the image "disgusting.""For over 3 months now, Marc has had to wake up every day in a hospital dealing with pain, dozens of surgeries and intensive rehab therapy," Regan said in the statement. "Our entire family has been focused on Marc's recovery while we anxiously await when he can return home."The massive medical bills Fucarile has incurred over his treatment and hospital stays may still loom large over his family even after he leaves the regular care of doctors. A payout from the One Fund Boston, which raised nearly $61 million as of June 29 to help victims and their families, should help, but may not cover everything, Fucarile said in an interview with Boston radio station WBUR."I mean, the One Fund's a great thing, I can't believe how many people have stepped up. The good that's out there in this world is just phenomenal, phenomenal," Fucarile said. "And you know we're all hurting. I don't know what my outcome's going to be when I get out of here and what kinds of bills I'm going to have. And that's starting to stress me out."
A 15-year-old New Yorker has invented a life-saving system for people with Alzheimers and their caregivers.

Tesla's Biggest Victory Yet (Update 1)
Tesla's incredible run this year (it's now a $14 billion market cap company) is fueled not only by the fervor for its cars, but surprise at the company's achievements. There was an epic short squeeze earlier in the year, as shorts cried in pain when Tesla announced it was profitable for the first time ever. Then, the company raised capital to take advantage of the high stock price, and the stock went even higher! It's been nothing short of an incredible run for Tesla in 2013, and this latest bit of news adds further credence to the story.
Demand has been so high for the Model S that the company raised global deliveries guidance on its last earnings report. It now expects to deliver 21,000 vehicles this year, up from a prior goal of 20,000 cars.
Not only are Tesla fans showing interest in the product, but so is the general public. Consumer Reports gave the Model S a near-perfect score of 99, citing the car's power, handling, and interior.Analysts are falling over themselves to raise price targets on Tesla. One analyst went so far as to call Tesla America's fourth automaker, behind Ford Motors (F), General Motors (GM) and Chrysler. The hype surrounding this company is approaching, and in some cases, has surpassed Apple (AAPL) levels. Judging by the results, it's clearly warranted. Not everyone believes the hype, though. Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Lovallo, who rates shares "underperform" with a $39 price objective, believes the optimism surrounding the company might be unwarranted. "[W]e estimate that a $120 share price implies over 321K vehicle sales in 2020, which is a full 300K units higher than our current 2013e and would represent a 7-year CAGR of 48%," Lovallo wrote in the note. Current estimates imply Tesla would be able to achieve EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) margins of 12.5% in 2020, nearly 380 basis points more than its closest competitors, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Bentley, and Porsche, generated in 2012, and more than 400 basis points better than the group is expected to generate in 2015. "While nothing is impossible, particularly with Elon Musk at the helm, we believe these assumptions warrant a healthy degree of skepticism," Lovallo wrote. Tesla's story has come an incredibly long way over the past seven months. It's raised 2013 guidance based of demand. Musk has seemingly become the next Steve Jobs, with his ability to cater to fan boys, investors and the media alike. Lastly, the company is taking the world by storm, and revolutionizing the automobile market faster than Henry Ford when he came up with the assembly line. --Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email.

Last weekend I was invited by the lovely folks at One Aldwych to come stay in their gorgeous Central London hotel and experience their Moët Movies night in.
One Aldwych is a five-star hotel based in the heart of Covent Garden, a stone's throw away from the theatres and hustle and bustle of the Piazza, but also, and more importantly, Somerset House – in my dreams, this is where I'd stay during London Fashion Week! It's part of The Leading Hotels Of The World and it's not hard to tell why. The location is perfect, the building is just impressive inside and out, the rooms are spacious and immaculate, the food was perfect, and the spa and pool is just the big fat cherry on top. And if I hadn't quite been sold on all of that yet, the attention to detail made sure I was: from the homemade macaroons sent to my room as a little welcome to the mini TV in the bathroom to the "jogging map" with detailed running routes around the hotel. Complete and utter perfection.
We explored Covent Garden in the afternoon and in the evening we went to the screening room as part of the Moët Movies package: a movie, a (large!) glass of Moët and popcorn followed by a 3-course dinner in the hotel's Axis restaurant. After a sublime meal (I had the black pudding scotch egg, soy glazed chicken and rhubarb crumble) I was feeling so full I was ready to call it a night, but on our way up to the room, the outside world had been transformed into a winter wonderland. As the hotel is just seconds away from the river, I ran out to Waterloo Bridge to admire my beloved London covered in a white blanket – Somerset House, the London Eye, Big Ben – it was magical. Then I fell flat on my face.
On Sunday morning, as the snow had started to melt and my shoes were still cold and wet from last night's shenanigans, we spent a few glorious hours in the hotel's spa, oblivious to the cold outside. The spa features one of the most beautiful indoor pools I've ever seen (and plays underwater music – doing laps whilst listening to the Star Wars theme was pretty epic), a gym, a steam room and a sauna. Sadly all good things must end and we had to drag ourselves out of the warmth into the sloppy snow outside…
The Moët Movies package is every weekend and costs £42.50 for a movie, champagne and 3-course dinner. For the full schedule, click here. I think it's a great idea for a Valentine's Day night out, with a great selection of romantic movies in the run-up to the day.

Four cucumbers go into this delicate-tasting salad, which calls for fresh mint and raspberries. An elegant side dish for an at-home barbecue or a candelit supper. Soy yogurt is called for because it's less sour than regular fat-free yogurt, but whole plain yogurt can also be used.Body+Soul, September 2005 http://www.marthastewart.com/133080/cucumber-mint-berry-salad

Labyrinth Walk
with Dr Margaret Rapapport
Friday September 12
10:00 am
Church of the Holy SpiritThe labyrinth is an ancient symbol of human vision and emotional knowledge, a creative art form, and a practical tool for inspiration and fulfillment.
When used for meditative walks, it yields positive states of mind and body, resulting in hope and healing.
It mimics the human body in structure – the pathway spirals resembling the ear, brain, and digestive system. In nature, it reflects plant structures and floral designs.
Today, there is an astounding resurgence of interest in labyrinths, large and small. Many of those recently constructed are large enough to facilitate groups of people, while others are desktop and finger-sized.
Join other walks scheduled this fall.

As this fateful, romantic encounter grows into love, Margaret must decide whether revealing the truth will rob her daughter of happiness.

Thanks to all who have given input through surveys, focus groups, DCTA building visits, the DCTA and DPS websites, our DCTA LEAP communications liaison, Zach Rupp, and our full time DCTA rep to the LEAP management team, Pam Shamburg. This input has informed the LEAP Steering Committee (which includes Henry Roman and Carolyn Crowder) to make some important decisions regarding the remainder of this year and the 2012-2013 school year.
One of the most significant decisions is that the 2012-2013 school year will also be a pilot because of the changes that have been made and the fact that certain elements of the LEAP system have not had a chance to be piloted at all. Details of what the 2012-2013 pilot will look like are still being worked out. Below are important dates and information about the remaining observations for this current school year.
I. Window 3:
- Window 3 will be the last observation window and we've extended the dates. New dates are January 17 through April 15.
- Ratings will be given.
Teachers will be observed by the same observer as Window 2 because this allows for teachers to receive ratings from both a principal and a Peer Observer.
This may entail a teacher getting two observations in Window 3 because not all observations were completed in Window 1. If a teacher was not observed in Window 1, they will receive an additional observation (Areas of Focus only) in Window 3 along with their Window 3 observation. We made this decision because we felt it was important for all teachers to experience observations with ratings from both types of observers.
Observation and ratings during window 3 will be on Areas of Focus and relevant ELA Indicators only. There is no need to score all Indicators because of the anticipated changes to the Framework for 2012-13 based on this year's feedback on the Framework.
II. Revisions to the Framework are currently underway based on the common themes found in a significant amount of feedback. Revisions include:
- Significant improvements – more manageable, less redundancy, etc.
- Consolidation (from 21 Indicators to 12)
- Integrated ELA Indicators
- Integrated Technology Indicators
III. Window 4
- Window 4, while not a formal observation window, will go from April 15-May
- Peer Observers will beta test the revised Framework with 10-15 teachers each
- Pilot of revised Framework will inform summer training
IV. Student Perception Surveys
- Round 2 scheduled for February for grades 3-12. ECE-2nd grades will be able to opt in but won't be required.
- This will allow some teachers to see growth with same group of students, allow us to do a within 1 year analysis on SPS growth against TCAP performance, and allow us to make informed decisions on 1 or 2 administrations per year moving forward (and in which semester)

The Periodontics Preceptorship Program is a 12 month non-degree course of study offered by the Department of Periodontics, School of Dentistry, West Virginia University. A non-academic certificate is awarded to the participant upon successful completion of this program. This Preceptorship will be limited to one student per year, dependent upon the applicant's professional credentials and clinical space available.
Applicants should have demonstrated educational interest and aptitude in Periodontics and Dental Implantology during their dental education beyond the expected competencies outlined in the dental curriculum.
The Periodontics Preceptorship Program is specifically designed for a recent dental school graduate preferably from a Prosthodontics Specialty Program in the US who would like to expand his/her knowledge in Periodontics and Dental Implantology. The applicant must demonstrate a strong desire to learn state of the art techniques, investigate current scientific literature and become competent in managing a broad range of periodontal procedures as well as dental implants. Over the course of one year, seminars with other graduate students will be attended and clinical procedures will be performed. Although emphasis is placed on the clinical aspects of Periodontics and Implantology, the participant will also have the opportunity to extensively explore the periodontal and dental implant literature providing a more evidence-based clinical approach to patient care.
The participant will be able to integrate these skills immediately into a dental practice, or apply for additional training in an Advanced Education Program in Periodontics.
By the completion of this Preceptorship program, the participant should be able to:
• Gather medical and dental history data, proper clinical and periodontal information, and clinical photographs for proper case presentation.
• Make accurate periodontal diagnoses based on pertinent historical, clinical and radiographic information, and to arrive at reasonable periodontal treatment plans including the use of dental implants.
• Explain and be clinically familiar with a variety of periodontal surgical procedures for treatment of chronic inflammatory and aggressive periodontal diseases.
• Explain and be clinically familiar with various periodontal surgical procedures for proper functional and cosmetic crown lengthening.
• Assess the outcomes of non-surgical and surgical periodontal treatment.
• Investigate current and classic periodontal and dental implant literature, with a developing ability to critically review pertinent articles.
• Explain and be clinically familiar with other surgical techniques such as tooth extraction using periotomes, bone grafting and guided bone regeneration techniques.
The proficient and dedicated preceptor student may be able to use advanced surgical techniques for placement of implants such as guided surgery techniques and immediate loading techniques. All clinical procedures will be allowed based on clinical instructor monitoring and student ability to demonstrate the knowledge and skill to proceed with proper patient treatment.
The participant in this program will be evaluated on the basis of the following outcomes: 1. overall number of cases properly evaluated and treated; 2. clinical performance; 3. scope of knowledge and preparedness; 4. patient management and 5. teaching ability as demonstrated by scenarios involving predoctoral students.
Admission to the Periodontal Preceptor Residency Program (PPRP) is competitive. Because limited openings are available, preference in admission is given to WVU School of Dentistry (WVUSoD) senior dental students who seek participation in this one-year PPRP following dental school graduation.

SUNY Broome Recieves More Funds from the County
9/16/2013 (Updated 11:01:23 PM)When County Executive Debbie Preston released the details of next year's proposed budget on Wednesday, it contained good news for SUNY Broome.
For he first time in three years, the county will increase funding to the community college. Since the start of the recession , SUNY Broome is down about 20 administrative positions. The school will use the 137 thousand dollars in additional funding to replace two of those jobs: academic adviser and education pipeline expert.
"We're in a very labor intensive industry, in spite of all the advances made in technology and we do a lot of that, our distance learning is growing very fast, but there's only so much of that you can do as a community college and this will help us do a better job. In fact, our enrollment is also growing again, so basically, we need all the help we can get," said Dr. Kevin Drumm, president of SUNY Broome.
State aid to SUNY Broome has increased each of the last two years.

Going to Spring Training this year for the first time in my life. I'm very excited.
If anyone has recommendations on how best to do it, ticket packages, places to go/eat/drink, etc. I'd be very happy to hear them. Also, I know I'm not terribly active here (mostly a lurker), but if anyone wants to hook up for a cold frosty and some conversation that would be cool. I'll probably be there the 3rd or last week of March.

3-town court called model for joint services
Until April 2011, Montvale was spending around $20,000 a month on its municipal court. Now, it spends around $8,000. Park Ridge and Woodcliff Lake find themselves with similar savings windfalls.
The three towns started the Pascack Joint Municipal Court about a year and a half ago, and at the time, it was the first joint court in Bergen County.
But the goal of the court in the Montvale Borough Hall wasn't to pioneer a new municipal legal strategy in the county — the three towns just wanted to save some money after the recession hit. And it appears to be working.
"It's probably the poster child for joint services because it's done everything we expected it to do and then some," Montvale Mayor Roger Fyfe said.
The towns split the cost of the court based on the proportion of revenue from citations from each town to the revenue of the court as a whole, and they pay quarterly. Montvale, which brings in the most revenue, pays 48 percent of the budget. Woodcliff Lake pays 16 percent, and Park Ridge pays 36 percent of the total. The 2012 budget for the court is $257,553.
Before the courts were merged, paying the six court employees in each town — clerks, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, bailiffs, security staff and more — accounted for 94 percent of all three courts' operating costs. Now, the joint court has only two full-time positions: an administrator, Catherine Cullen, and a violations clerk, Maria Rotolo.
Cullen was working as the court administrator in Montvale, but the court personnel from the other towns are no longer employed by the three boroughs. Most of them have moved to municipal jobs — at courts or in borough offices — elsewhere in the county.
Park Ridge Mayor Terry Maguire said it was difficult at first, because Park Ridge had to let go of some employees, but "that's what happens when you consolidate."
Some of the personnel have remained: Judge Harry D. Norton was previously the judge in Montvale, and was selected by the Superior Court Assignment Judge Peter Doyne to stay on in the initial phase of the court. Norton is the court's acting judge, since he is still awaiting approval from Governor Christie.
Between April 2011 and the end of September, the court adjudicated 11,838 traffic and criminal cases. But despite the heavy workload, Cullen said she hasn't had difficulty adjusting to the new court.
John Glazer, a councilman in Woodcliff Lake who worked on the merger in 2009 and 2010, said Cullen had adapted well, as he expected.
Officials from all three towns said it has, so far, been a success.
"If all joint services worked like this," said Fyfe, "our lives would be a lot easier."

Well, March Madness is in full swing.
For starters (ha, see what I'm doing here), Antti Niemi got paid. And I mean paid. He's makin' it rain with a 4 year, $15.2M contract. It's so much money, that even his T-Rex arms can throw it in the air and waive like they just don't care.
In other news, Mark Cuban may be buying the Dallas Stars. As if my hatred of the Stars wasn't already high enough, Mark Cuban being their owner would just allow me to distribute my hate much more efficiently. Cuban would help fill the void left by Sean Avery, because clearly, the Stars didn't have enough douchebags who should keep their mouths shut under all circumstances. I mean, Steve Ott and Mike Ribeiro can't shoulder that burden alone!
Also, people talk a lot about TV here, so I have to say, we don't talk nearly enough about Burn Notice. Seriously, that show is awesome. And we're talking Joe Pavelski riding a Bear levels of awesome. Leverage too. Leverage is like the Clouwemance to Burn Notice's Big Pavelski. Between that, you have about as much awesome as you can handle.

The westbound lanes of the Sunset Highway were closed for more than two hours this morning while investigators reconstructed a crash scene involving a single vehicle.
The driver, whose name has not been released, is now at a local hospital with what are believed to be life-threatening injuries.
A Beaverton Police spokesman says that, according to witnesses, at about 4:45, a charcoal gray Chevy Tahoe heading west on Highway 26 lost control after passing the Sylvan exit. The Tahoe struck one barrier, then bounced away and struck another barrier before it came to a stop.
No other vehicles were struck and no one else was in the Tahoe at the time of the accident.
It's still unclear whether alcohol, speed or weather may have caused of the crash. Police did say, however, that the driver was not wearing a seatbelt, which probably contributed to the severity of his injuries.
Police closed the highway and traffic was diverted onto the Canyon Road exit until about 7:10 a.m.

With the Draft a week away, I'm pretty tired of rehashing the same discussions about the same few players over and over again. When the dust settles and the blue-chip guys are all gone, the Chiefs, like every other team will start selecting project players in later rounds. Many of whom even the most diehard fans have never heard of.
One selection in last year's draft class caught me completely by surprise: 5b Gabe Miller, DE Oregon State.
One of the fastest ends in the Pac-10 Conference ... recorded the fasted 10-yard dash time on the team during testing last spring ... originally a tight end, but made the move to the defensive side prior to the 2009 season ... co-team captain.
Let's take a closer at the selection that completely befuddled me and the Draft pundits:
Mike Buckman, Chiefconcerns.com:
Round 5b; Gabe Miller, LB/TE
Although he lacks elite physical tools, he possesses good speed, and he has excellent intangibles. Although the Chiefs intend to use him as a linebacker, he has experience as an H-back. Another player who could really contribute to special teams.
The Chiefs apparently decided they needed more depth at linebacker. Could make a contribution on special teams. Miller was a huge reach that won't likely make much of a contribution outside of providing a warm body for training camp and maybe special teams. Much better value could have been had here for a team that still had unmet needs. He was picked #140 overall, but most teams didn't even realize he exists. If he had been picked in the 7th, he might have received a C.
Pick Grade: F
140. Gabe Miller, DE/OLB, Oregon State Who the hell is Gabe Miller? Seriously. He's not on my board. He's not on Scouts Inc.'s board. He's No. 286 at NFL Draft Scout. What a weird pick.
Gabe Miller, DE
Prospect Grade: 20
Round Equivalent: These are players that lack NFL measurables and/or skills. They are players that we feel would not make a solid contribution as a training camp body.
A fast and agile converted TE, his college stats were respectable but unexceptional for a Pac-10 DE:
Tackles TFL Sacks FF PD
2010 43 7 4.0 0 2
2009 23 5 3.0 2 0
Scott Pioli states in the book, War Room:
We picked Gabe Miller off his individual workout, which was so good scouts talked about it around the office.
What was it about Gabe Miller's workout made them spend a 5th round pick on him?
Last week I wrote a post about Drafting 3-4 DEs. In the comments ChiefWarPaint, MNchiefsFan and I got into a discussion about how some of the real Underwear Olympics stats guys create all sorts of formulas to determine if players have the right athleticism and body type to succeed in a given position.
I've always been a game tape production kind of guy. But in recent years there have been some measureables that really do seem to correlate to success at the NFL—arm length for tackles and pass rushers is a good example.
Weird Science
Certainly there are advanced metrics too. While doing some research for my post on 3-4 DEs, I stumbled upon these interesting tables. A Packers fan/mad mathematician named Waldo developed some metrics to try to classify pass rusher prospects and try to predict their bust potential. Let me caveat all of this by saying that this type of analysis is very speculative black magic, dark arts, heavy voodoo kind of stuff. I am very much out of my element here.
One of his custom metrics is "twitch" which he developed to measure the speed at which player can change direction.
Twitch = Shuttle - 2*10 yd split - (1.60 - 10 yd split)
It uses the 40 time minus the shuttle time, substituting a 10 yd split instead of the 40. Since it is a 20 yd vs. 20 yd comparison, guys that can change directions fast will have a lower number. The bit at the end is a modifier that rewards fast guys and penalizes slow guys as it is meant to approximate how sudden a player is with their movements. Lower is better.
He assigns the "Low Risk" tag to pass rushers with a twitch formula score of under 1.10
(Clicking on the tables makes them bigger)
Green = Pro Bowler
Yellow = Starter
Gold = Backup (as of 2011)
Orange = Bust
Red = Injury Bust
White = Not yet drafted
Another measurable that he thinks is significant for pass rushers is 3-Cone Drill.
The "Lowest risk" prospects have a twitch formula score under 1.10 and a 3-Cone time under 7.0 seconds
(Clicking on the tables makes them bigger)
Green = Pro Bowler
Yellow = Starter
Gold = Backup (as of 2011)
Orange = Bust
Red = Injury
White = Not yet drafted (2011)
There's Gabe Miller right at the bottom. A very promising set of athletic attributes for Tamba Hali's backup. It would seem that Chiefs scouts saw something in Miller's workout that came to a similar conclusion—that Gabe Miller was a sleeper prospect. I read in another forum some complete hearsay that the Jets were drooling over Gabe Miller as a 6th round pick.
I gotta take my hat off to Scott Pioli. This team was dismal in January 2009 when he took over. In just three off-seasons he's transformed a hopeless bottom-feeder into a roster that looks stacked at every position save QB.
Instead of hoping our starters look competent, I'll be eagerly watching all the preseason games this year to see if some of the Chiefs developmental players with ideal NFL size, speed and athleticism like OLB Gabe Miller, OT David Mims and DE Brandon Bair can turn the corner and become contributors on the field. Hell, I might even go up to St. Joe for one of the night scrimmages during training camp. Someone should organize an AP meet-and-greet for that, with beer.
Even though I though I think SillyHatDay's post on How to Draft a Pass Rusher (A Must Read IMHO) is better and more thorough. This formula-making mad scientist has one more chart of his absolute favorite pass rushing prospects. Here he uses a different metric called explosive power formula, as a gauge of how much force a player generates coming out of his stance.
Explosive Power = (vert+3.5*broad)*(weight/height)/3000
Lowest Risk 2, (Explosive)
(Clicking on the tables makes them bigger)
Green = Pro Bowl

An Oxford Junction woman was sentenced to four-months in federal prison for lying to FEMA after the floods of 2008.
Court officials say 32-year-old Jessica Hines admitted to submitting a fraudulent application to FEMA on July 28, 2008. She admitted that she lied about where she lived on the application when she said her home and personal belongings were damaged by the flood.
Hines was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids to four-months in prison. She will spend five years on supervised release after being released from prison and must pay $7,155.81 in restitution to FEMA.
Hines was released on bond and must surrender to the United States Marshal on November 5, 2012.

I know we have a ton of bigs now. Carl Landry will be a restricted free agent after the 2010-2011 season. Will we be throwing him $8-$10 million a year? If we do, wouldn't you rather throw that money at Luis Scola or maybe even a Marc Gasol who are bruisers that restricted free agents this year and then use Landry for trade bait to get a guard or a draft pick for next year's draft that will be used towards a guard?
I think guys who play well in the post are invaluable. Those two guys above have lots of toughness. Gasol and Scola have similar games while Landry does not post up as much as they do.

Story by: Samantha Boatman
MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News)--The trial of two Monroe City Councilmen continued Monday with questions by the prosecution and defense attorneys.
Robert "Red" Stevens and Arthur Gilmore were indicted last summer on charges of public bribery and extortion.
The trial continued today with the prosecution's key witness, Eddie Hakim. Hakim had been working with the FBI in the case against Stevens and Gilmore since 2007. On Friday, tape recordings and video recordings between Hakim, Stevens and Gilmore were played for the jury.
On Monday, the prosecution finished their questioning of Hakim. Hakim told the jury that Gilmore called him asking for about 200 dollars to help pay a constituent's electric bill. The tape recording of this conversation played for the jury.
Hakim told jurors he had helped Gilmore many times with money for constituents.
A voicemail to Hakim left by Stevens played for the jury. Stevens called Hakim asking about a donation he could make in regards to turkeys for the community.
Their later conversation recorded by the FBI, says that Eddie Hakim thanked Stevens for helping with the zoning of the Tower Armand project. The land was re-zoned from open land, to residential and commercial use.
A few days later, the two met for lunch at the Brandy House, where Hakim allegedly gave Steven's an envelope containing a thousand dollars, and called it his "Christmas bonus."
Hakim then told the jury the last secret recording between the three men occurred on December 18, 2009.
Once the prosecution was finished with their questions, it was time for Robert Red Steven's attorney, Carey Underwood to question Hakim.
Hakim told the jury that in late 2006 and 2007, he would give money to Jim Maroney, an engineer to his company, to give to the councilmen and Mayor Mayo. When Maroney died, Hakim says he started giving the money out himself.
He says at that point, he didn't mind helping out because he knew his contributions were not being used in exchange for votes.
Hakim told the jury prior to him contacting Louisiana State Police, he never thought the contributions were in exchange for votes.
Hakim also told the jury Monday, he believes he never broke the law, and he chose to do the right thing by going to police.
Hakim talked about five cash payments he made to Stevens: $1,000 to Steven's re-election, $500 for Steven's trip to D.C., $800 for Christmas Turkeys, $3,000 for his daughter's hospital bills, and $1,000 for a Christmas bonus.
Hakim says he doesn't mind making payments to those in need, but says nothing should be expected in return.
Underwood, Steven's attorney, then questioned Hakim about previous donations he's made to different organizations. Hakim told the jury he has given at least $100,000 donation to The University of Louisiana Monroe, and $125,000 to his church. Hakim also says he's donated money to the Monroe Police Department, the Sheriff's Department, and the ULM Police Department.
Hakim told the jury he hasn't made a large amount of political contributions.
Underwood then questioned Hakim about Hakim's contributions to Sheriff Royce Toney. Hakim says he has put about $45,000 worth of renovations into this Toney's work office. He says Toney's desk is also currently on loan from Hakim's company.
Under one of Hakim's real estate companies, he says he sold the Sheriff's Office land for $188,000, which was originally appraised at $600,000.
Hakim told the jury he considers Sheriff Toney a friend.
Underwood then brought evidence into the courtroom, from a letter to the editor written by Hakim. Hakim wrote that he gave to people, and never expected anything in return.
Hakim then told the court room under oath, that people have to pay off Monroe Mayor Jamie Mayo to get favors. Hakim says he knows people who have paid off Mayo in return for favors, but admitted he had never done it.
The defense continued to ask questions, counteracting the prosecution's case against the two councilmen. The defense questions of Hakim will continue Tuesday.
