Junior and senior high school students in the Independence Community School District will soon benefit from the first ever FEMA safe room in Buchanan County.
The school district has been awarded FEMA and state grant dollars, totaling $831,064, to construct a community safe room at the new junior-senior high school, currently under construction.
"Applying for this FEMA grant has been a very long, detailed process for us. To hear we have been awarded these funds now to build a safe room in the new junior-senior high school is fantastic. It is reassuring to have a structure like this within our new facility, which will keep our students and staff safe," said superintendent Jean Peterson.
A safe room is a hardened structure specifically designed to meet FEMA criteria and provide "near absolute" protection in extreme weather events, including tornadoes.
While this is the first community safe room in Buchanan County, it is not unusual to have one hosted in a school building.
"There are approximately 66 approved safe room grants in Iowa and 38 of these are in schools," said Linda Roose from Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
The locker rooms at Independence's new school are being designed to serve their day-to-day purposes, but also as a safe room during severe weather.
"The room will be able to accommodate all students and staff during school days and can also be used in the event of severe weather during tournaments or other events hosted at the facility. This makes the new facility that much more valuable," said Rick Wulfekuhle, Buchanan County emergency management coordinator.
Construction of the safe room will include eight inch thick reinforced concrete walls with an insulated cavity and face brick exterior. The roof of the safe room will be made of 12 inch thick reinforced concrete with tapered roof insulation and adhered membrane roofing, all capable of withstanding up to 250 mile-per-hour winds. An emergency generator will be used as the back-up power source to handle lighting and the air handling system.

LE BOURGET, France--ATR said Thursday it had booked orders worth a total of $4.1 billion over the last four days for 173 of its turboprop aircraft at the Paris Air Show, underlining the appetite among regional airlines for its fuel-efficient, low-operating-cost passenger planes.
Chief Executive Officer Filippo Bagnato told journalists that ATR, a joint venture of European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co (EAD.FR) and Alenia Aermacchi, a unit of Italy's Finmeccanica SpA (FNC.MI), is ready to bring a new 90-seat aircraft to market to bolster the top end of its product range. He said the project design and its business plan had been submitted to ATR's shareholders at the end of last year, and ATR is waiting for a decision to go ahead with it, noting that there is a market window for this plane in 2018 or 2019.
The orders booked in Paris include 83 firm orders and 90 commitments. The firm contracts are worth more than $2 billion. The main order for 91 aircraft came from Nordic Aviation Capital, a leasing company.
With an order backlog now standing at more than 270 aircraft worth some $6.5 billion, ATR has 3 1/2 years of work ahead and is ramping up its annual production rate to 90 aircraft in 2014, and at least that number in 2015, from an anticipated 80 this year.
Mr. Bagnato said ATR's propeller-driven planes enjoy a 65% market share for passenger aircraft in the 50- to 90-seat category, including jet aircraft.

He also got the win in the AHL all star game this past monday.

Earlier today I told you all about how I got Jill's hair cut?
But then I didn't give you any after pics?
Well, here it is:
It's cute, right?!
The one bitty thing I don't like about it?
She looks OLDER!
But, I guess she isn't really a baby anymore…
My favorite?
The way she likes to swish her short hair back and forth really fast.
And giggles.
A lot.
And that makes me ridiculous happy.
She was in a bit of a feisty mood…and I have more of these silly open mouth shots on my camera than I care to admit.
I really do like her hair. It's sassy and fun (and easy to brush!!!).
Not sure if I necessarily like it MORE than I liked her long hair…but I for sure don't hate it.
I'm kinda thinking something midway between this chin length bob and the long she used to have will be the winner.
I'm pretty sure I could have shaved her head fully bald and she'd still be cute.
That face kills me.
On a side note…do you see how her little front teeth are chipped?
Yeah, that happened sometime a couple of weeks ago. She was crawling and Lucy (very gently and with a kind heart) pushed on her bottom to help scoot her inside the house so she could close the door…and it was just the wrong angle…and little Jill smacked her mouth on the floor chipping both of her front teeth.
I totally cried when I saw it.
I mean, she's a GIRL! And she's little! So it's gonna be like FIVE YEARS with chipped front teeth!!!
And then that afternoon I had a bleeding episode…and a few days after that she had a major seizure…and you know what?
I love those little chipped teeth.
Because short hair, long hair, goofy tooth or not…I'm just glad she's mine.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — NFL scouts had to wait to have their questions answered about Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert: namely, whether he could take drops from center — which he rarely did in college — and make pro-style throws.
On Thursday, they saw both at Missouri's pro day. And Gabbert, who is a candidate for the No. 1 pick and a likely top-10 selection, looked strong.
"The biggest thing was to come out here and show people that I have made that transition to an under-center offense from the shotgun," Gabbert told PFW. "I think I answered those questions today."
Six NFL head coaches were in attendance for the workout: the Jets' Rex Ryan, the Broncos' John Fox, the 49ers' Jim Harbaugh, the Bengals' Marvin Lewis, the Vikings' Leslie Frazier and the Titans' Mike Munchak.
All 32 teams were represented. An estimated 125 NFL people were on hand.
The Panthers' Ron Rivera was expected to be at the workout but was not spotted. Instead, several Panthers representatives were present. Joining Fox with the Broncos was team executive vice president of football operations John Elway. All of the teams represented by their head coaches, except Ryan's Jets, appear to be in the market for a quarterback.
Gabbert had some hurdles to overcome at his pro day. First, he was working with unfamiliar receivers, all of them smaller-school players. Because of the NFL's labor situation, Gabbert was allowed to throw to only draft-eligible players, and Missouri had no pass catchers who had run out of college eligibility.
One of the players he was supposed to throw to, Central Missouri RB Anthony Stewart, pulled up lame on his 40-yard dash and could not perform the rest of the day. Because of that, Gabbert cut short his workout by one throw, which was supposed to be a wheel route to Stewart.
The script of 49 throws Gabbert made, overseen by personal QB coach Terry Shea, an NFL veteran, included several from five-step (23) and seven-step drops (seven). There were only three shotgun throws, which was where he primarily worked in Mizzou's spread offense; the rest came from under center. He completed 44 of the 49 passes he attempted, although that included four drops. Gabbert had only one clear overthrow, and that was on a five-step "go" route thrown 55 yards in the air.
"Nothing was really new to me with the throws. The difference was coming from under center," Gabbert said.
The most important development in Gabbert's game might have been in his footwork. He looked smooth dropping from center and displayed the athleticism he showed off at the Combine, when he ran a 4.62-second 40-yard dash and a 6.84-second three-cone drill. Gabbert only threw Thursday, choosing to stand on his Combine workout numbers.
Gabbert appeared cool and collected before and during the workout, unfazed by the impressive turnout of the who's who of NFL coaches and scouts.
"I talked to Coach Ryan, and he said, 'Have fun with it. Be a kid every day, and that's the only way you can go about your business because it's not going to last forever,' " he said.
After a decent start that nonetheless included a few high passes, Gabbert improved as he got into a rhythm. His best throws of the day included some nice touch on a basic crossing pattern, as he slid and threw well on the move; two "Bang 8" routes, hitting his wideouts in stride both times; a beautiful "go" route in which he placed the ball perfectly; a 12-yard drag route off a bootleg in which he showed ideal precision; great touch on a post-corner route; and a whistling dart to the slot receiver on a seam route near the end of his program.
Early on, some of Gabbert's throws were a shade off target but still within the catching radius. But his mostly unfamiliar receivers — they had worked together only the past four days — often bailed him out with nice catches, including a couple of highlight-reelers from Central Missouri State WR Jamorris Warren. Later on, Gabbert left a couple of throws short on longer routes, but overall his accuracy and arm strength were good on the day.
"He doesn't have the world's strongest arm," one scout told PFW, "but it's strong enough. His footwork was better than I expected. It looks like he has worked on it."
Indeed, Gabbert and Shea have worked together for the better part of 10 weeks. Shea, the former offensive coordinator of the Bears, has helped prep previous first-round QBs Sam Bradford (2010) and Josh Freeman ('09) and says Gabbert is right in line with each of them.
"He's going to win over an NFL huddle in a heartbeat," Shea said. "His competitiveness is going to be impressive. That's not something that is easy to accomplish as a rookie. Bradford, from what I could tell, had that same quality."
Sources told PFW that Gabbert has private workouts with the Panthers and Cardinals scheduled within in the next week. Gabbert had dinner (he said he ate a filet mignon) with Bills representatives last night, including GM Buddy Nix, who was at the workout. Tonight, Gabbert is dining with the Vikings, Frazier and vice president of player personnel Rick Spielman included.
Also working out was DE Aldon Smith, a potential top-15 pick who weighed in at a healthy 265 pounds, which he appeared pleased with. Like Gabbert, Smith had only two full seasons on the field at Mizzou, but he has flashed enough intriguing power and speed to get high marks from NFL scouts. Smith stood out in the DL drills, showing excellent agility for his position, although one scout in attendance thought he looked a bit stiff in the hips.
Still, the raw upside of the third-year sophomore is scary. Smith, who played inside and outside at Missouri and even stood up on occasion as a rusher, talked about versatility being one of his best traits.
"I think that helps my stock out," Smith said. "A lot of ends are just pass-rush ends. I think I have both sides: the athletic side and the pass-rush side."
Other players who helped themselves included Warren, who definitely caught the attention of the large contingent of scouts, and Missouri CB Kevin Rutland, who ran two 40-yard dashes in the low 4.4 range, a vast improvement over his official Combine time of 4.59. Rutland has a private workout scheduled with the Patriots this week, PFW has learned.


text: I was sitting in my truck listening to Colin Cowherd this morning. He brought on Trent Dilfer to talk about Tebow. Colin and Trent started off by saying that Trent has said all along that Tebow would have early success because of defenses not being able to adjust to him! That defenses havn't had to play a QB like him in the Pros! Trent actually said "i don't normally say this but I told you so". I just about wrecked my truck. All i have ever heard Trent say was how Tebow would never be able to have success. I was so mad i was swearing out loud. Im mad as a fan of course. Im even more mad because of the reports about how hard all of this very critical media coverage has been on the Tebow family. So it makes me really mad when old Dilfer tries to talk out both sides of his mouth. I can't believe that these "experts" arnt held accountable when they are just dead wrong. I just wanted to hear anyone else's take on this.

DC Bilingual Public Charter School Receives Award for Its 'Healthier' Initiative
USDA Under Secretary Kevin Concannon joined representatives from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education to present the HealthierUS School Challenge Gold Award with Distinction to CentroNía's DC Bilingual Public Charter School. Founded in 2004, DC Bilingual serves more than 350 students from PreK to 5th grade. Concannon also highlighted National Nutrition Month (March) and spoke to students, school administrators and food service staff about providing healthy meals to get children fueled and ready to learn.
"The HealthierUS School Challenge achievement demonstrates D.C. Bilingual's deep commitment to create and maintain a healthy school environment by promoting good nutrition and physical activity," Concannon said. "This event helps highlight the importance of the HealthierUS School Challenge and some of the ways that children and communities can become involved."
DC Bilingual cultivates "a nurturing, engaging, multicultural environment where young leaders become bilingual and bi-literate in Spanish and English." Recognizing that food is a crucial factor in the physical and intellectual development of children, the school provides students with homemade delicious and nutritious meals prepared from fresh fruits and vegetables, a variety of whole grains and legumes and lean proteins. In addition, DC Bilingual's Food & Nutrition Department provides nutritional educational workshops to parents, teachers and community where they learn basic nutrition and healthy life style choices to model for their children.
The HealthierUS School Challenge (HUSSC) is a key component of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative to end childhood obesity within a generation. Schools participating in the challenge voluntarily adopt USDA standards for food they serve at their schools, agree to provide nutrition education and provide opportunities for physical activity.
USDA recently announced that it will be investing $5.5 million in grants with approximately $2.5 million set aside to provide non-competitive grants (up to $50,000) to each State Agency that commits to specific strategies to increase the number of HealthierUS School Challenge applications submitted for approval. Up to $350,000 may be requested to include both competitive and non-competitive grants.

Pretty simple idea: you're the owner (and GM if you wish) of your very own expansion team. What would your team look like? It can be as specific and detailed as you want. I'll throw out a couple questions you can answer, with the option to add on as much as you like. Add in some pictures too!
Where would your team be located?
What would your team be named?
You get the 1st pick in the 2012 NFL draft...who do you take?
The last team that was added to the league, the Houston Texans, had an expansion draft, they took 19 players (from other teams) in this draft...say you can take 20 players (or so) to add to your team (try to keep contracts/salary cap in mind, unlike our CSC dream team).
What would be the name of your stadium? Would it be indoors or outdoors or both?
What does your logo look like?
Who would you hire for a coach? (can't be a current head coach in the NFL)
What division would you be added to?
And anything else you would like to add!

Fourth Ward Councilman Thomas Grumley, chairman of the employee welfare committee, introduced the legislation earlier this month. The legislation received an emergency passage and goes into effect today.
''I have heard nothing but positive comments about this since it was first brought up,'' said Council President Reynald Paolone.
Grumley said he introduced the legislation for the safety and protection of children who on Oct. 31 will be going door-to-door throughout the city.
He said all registered sex offenders in the city, of which he said there are 10, will be given a copy of the legislation by police explaining what they or anyone in the same household are permitted to do.
''They will not be able to decorate or have any lights on or pass out any candy,'' Grumley said.
Officials said of the sex offenders in the city, 70 percent have convictions involving minors.
According to the legislation, registered sex offenders will be required from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Oct. 31 of each year to leave all exterior, decorative and ornamental lighting off starting at 5 p.m., refrain from decorating the front yard and exterior of the residence with Halloween items and not answer the door to children trick-or-treating.
Grumley said police also will be monitoring the neighborhoods and keeping an eye on the homes.
Violators will face a minor misdemeanor.
In other business, council approved advertising for purchase and installation of radio frequency water meters.
First Ward Councilman Frank Migliozzi, who serves on the safety committee, said with new technology the entire city will be able to have all meters read in four hours, or a half-day by computer, as compared to part-time meter readers who have to go door-to-door and check meters inside homes.
''They will be able to do this in half a day which will save both time and money,'' Migliozzi said.
Officials said the city needs to replace existing water meters with the radio frequency meters to accurately bill for water usage.
Earlier this month, council had presentations on the water meter programs available.

Southern Baptists continually pray for, participate in, and give generously to North American mission efforts. Read what some of the Week of Prayer missionaries have to say about the blessings that came from those gifts:
Thank you and thank the Lord. This past year your prayers have achieved much, we have been seen many coming to Jesus Christ. I really believe your prayers have being key in all the fruit we are seeing. Additionally, thank you to all who wrote encouraging notes to us. The Lord used them to help us through hard days. Continuing to Pray, Give & be on Mission, it is making an eternal impact.
Victor ThomasPastor, The Point ChurchBurnaby, British Columbia
Graffiti 2 and I are blessed beyond measure by the support of the family of God from across the country. We are equally blessed by those that pray of whom we are aware (by sending cards and e-mails), as well as those that pray of whom we may never know (praying in the secret of their prayer closets). Graffiti 2 will continue plant seeds of the Gospel across our neighborhood and beyond. Please continue to pray for us as we develop new ways to plant seeds of the Gospel in our community, as we look to begin a new work in a neighboring community, and as we train others to begin works all across the world.God bless.
Andrew Mann Director Graffiti 2 Community MinistriesBronx, New York
Thank you Southern Baptists for your generous support to Annie Armstrong. You have helped to bring the Light of Jesus into the dark places of North America. Being featured as week of prayer missionaries in 2013 was an amazing experience for my wife and I. We received an overwhelming amount of prayer letters, small gifts and encouraging notes. These letters always came at the times we needed them, too! To know we have Christians praying for us all over the country, from children to the elder men & women, is something that we will always lean on. God is good and He has blessed us through you. Thanks!
Scott VenablePastor, Mosaic Church Chicago
Brothers and Sisters,
It is a joy to be able to say thank you for what you have given to the Annie Armstrong Easter offering. The beautiful verse of John 3:16 begins with the simple phrase, "God so loved that he gave..." I want you to know that the people we are reaching here in Cincinnati and now an unreached people group on the other side of the globe are loved because of what you gave. We are never more like our Father in heaven than when we give of ourselves to others. So thank you so much and know that this church plant has been deeply blessed (as in the OT sense of that word, not the gee that was nice sense of that word) by your giving and we are now seeking to be a blessing to others.
Grace and Peace!
Joshua LenonRed Door Church, Cincinnati, OH
I want to thank the North american Mission Board along with all the Southern Baptist Churches who sent letters, cards, and emails of encouragement to us during the past year. It as been an absolute blessing to be apart of the out pouring of love from our friends in other churches around North America. Our church family as been able to do so much and we credit that to the work of the Holy Spirit and prayers lifted up on our behalf. Words can not express our gratitude towards all of you. Thank you from my family and church to yours.
Derek OsburnLead Pastor, The Vine Community Church, Clovis, NM
I was thinking about the freedom I have to meet with unchurched people at starbucks, celebrate birthdays with apartment managers, and coach guys who are passionate about fulfilling their ministry purpose by leading a church. Then I realized very little of that would happen without you and your church giving through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. Your gifts afford me the living and thus the time to invest in these people's lives. You are helping me give back and develop the next generation of leaders. I want to take this time to personally thank each of you who has missions so deeply embedded in your soul that you give your dollars to support a work you may never see. People are being changed for eternity, hope for the hopeless, peace for the restless, and Jesus is being lifted up because you are cooperating together with us in the field. Thank You!!!
Louis SpearsChurch PlantingValley Rim Baptist Association1235 E. EvergreenMesa, Arizona 85203
We deeply express our gratitude to North American Mission Board for featuring us and our ministry in the missionary week of prayer, 2009. We are thankful to NAMB for their prayer and financial support. We know all of our Southern Baptist churches in North America will be praying for us and NAMB is acting as a channel of blessing for us. We praise God for NAMB and all of its stuffs for their great encouragements. We hope NAMB will continue their support to us for our frontiers missions work in New England.
Paul and Elizabeth BiswasChurch planting missionary in New England129A Brown StreetWaltham, MA 02453
Dear Friends,
I wish to take this opportunity to thank Southern Baptists for your prayers, and gifts through the Cooperative Program, and through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. These offerings and prayers enable me to do what the Lord has called us to do in the way we do it. It is indeed my privilege to serve the Lord in this way!

The Oak Creek Common Council unanimously approved a re-configuration of land near 20th Street and Drexel Avenue for the planned expansion of Milwaukee County's Falk Park.
The county and Northwestern Mutual have proposed land exchanges in which the county would get 75 acres, much of it south of Drexel Avenue, and Northwestern Mutual 50 acres near the future Drexel Interchange.
The Milwaukee County Parks Department wants to preserve those lands and maintain some of the last remaining wetlands in the county.
Northwestern Mutual, meanwhile, would get lands that can be more easily developed, although the company says it has no immediate development plans.
A Northwestern Mutual representative the swaps will help protect the natural beauty of the area.
The council approved nine certified survey maps that accommodate the changes. The proposal still needs a few more approvals, including from the Department of Natural Resources.

First of all, check out the new, springy pics on the side :)
Panic ran with my friend Dee. They had a really awesome weekend - 9/10 Qs. Panic is now in L5 for jumpers, L4 for everything else except wildcard which she is still in L3 for. The only NQ was Jackpot, and it was a hard one that I was pretty sure she wouldn't get :) Traditional jackpot, 20 foot distance, with layering. Yeah, no big surprise on the NQ there! They looked good together and I am looking forward to seeing them run together at CPE Nationals in June!
Spry was 8/10 and I was mostly very happy with her weekend. Unfortunately we went back to not reading my LOM as well and having more spinnies. But, since we have not practiced AT ALL since Feb (other than my short practice Weds working the tire and short sequences), I am not surprised. Also, the trial was at our building where she gets higher than usual and then more focused on me.
Some very good things:
1) Contacts were great. She came off the end of 1 DW (stopped 4 on the floor), and one teeter as I FCd but other than that held them. Fast DWs. Teeter could use some more confidence. She slammed one AF, I wish she would take off closer to the bottom of it instead of launching onto it from several feet out! I assume time will help this.
2) Stays were fantastic. I tell myself every trial to try to keep this criteria solid and so far, so good. I think I did better this weekend on release, pause, move as well.
3) I have to review the videos but I don't think she took ANY off courses. At least no tunnel off courses and I don't think any off courses at all. Wow, that is HUGE for her!
4) She responds to deceleration well, and turns pretty tightly if I cue a wrap using it.
Some not as good things:
1) Weave poles - she had a hard time staying in her poles this weekend. I am not sure we had any courses w/12 poles, and she never popped out once she got going, but she had a hard time staying in after making the entrance. Or making the entrance at all. She does slip more on the rubber, and was super high. Will have to work on this at home though.
2) FMFCs... if my motion is going forward still, she is not collecting AT ALL! Must work on this.
3) Spinnies - I tried to run hard and show her where to go, and I think this is probably still my fault mostly. Also all non-wings so that might have made it harder for her.
4) KEEP YOUR EYE ON YOUR DOG! On Sat Std I sent her to a tunnel and turned to run the finishing line of jumps. Glanced back to see her, turned my eyes forward, kept running. really did not tell her at all which side of me to be on, so she chose the wrong side, ran around a jump, and I wasn't sure if she took it or not. BAD MOMMY!

President Obama spoke at a memorial service for victims of the shooting in Tucson, Arizona, in which Representative Gabrielle Giffords and 13 others were wounded and six people were killed on January 8, 2011.
At the start of the event he praised the heroism of those involved in the response to the shooting, and then eulogized the dead and expressed sympathy for the injured. He also said that Representative Giffords had opened her eyes, and expressed thanks for all the attention given to the situation. President Obama then made a call on all citizens to engage in more civil discourse and unite in non-partisan common causes.
President Obama's remarks were interrupted several times by applause. close

Roger Settler had until 5 p.m. on Friday to turn in a petition for alcohol sales in Lubbock. NewsChannel 11 spoke with settler late this afternoon. He says he will not turn in the petition on Friday as he did not collect enough signatures. Settler plans to re-file the petition next week.
Settler says the next attempt will be more successful because Texas tech students will be back in Lubbock and he feels they will support the petition.

I'm trying to spend more time on Facebook. Others I know talk about it, get their news from it and, of course, use it to keep up all their cherished friendships. Yeah, that last part was… well, not cherishing. Fact is, I've never felt uplifted, entertained, enlightened or happier after perusing FB and, turns out, I'm not alone.
A University of Michigan study says the largest social networking site in the world can add clouds to the sunniest of days. The Institute for Social Research, said in a statement, "But rather than enhance well-being, we found that Facebook use predicts the opposite result -- it undermines it." Yep, it's true (until Zuckerberg funds a bigger study that concludes the opposite). Here's a LINK.
It makes sense really. Facebook was never meant to be a virtual home or a matrix you plug into where, through inflated stories and endless snapshots, you create an avatar that normal human beings would be jealous of. But it has become that. And worse, it's not you who spins jealousy across the digital divide—it's the "friends" you have who seem to always be going on out on romantic dates or traveling to places you could never afford. (If my vacation isn't Hawaii or Tahiti, why bother?) It's Facebook where you're still friends with your ex— where you can enjoy all those photos of him or her finally in love with the right person.
Did we really need a university study to realize that immersing ourselves in this maelstrom is going to leave us depressed?
If you think I'm ragging on Facebook, you're missing my point. Zuckerberg's 2004 invention… the zeitgeist of the past decade… is a great tool (as was Zuckerberg possibly before he became a billionaire). It's a bulletin board. Back when there were bulletin boards, how long did you stand in front of them? Couple minutes? How long do you spend on Facebook in a day? An hour? Three hours? Hell, at that rate you're probably depressed from lack of sunlight! (Come to think of it, my doctor said I need to take vitamin D.)
So take a look at the Michigan study. Skim it. It's about as predictable as Facebook itself.

The retirement of the NCC-1701-A makes a lot of sense, her fate is the same as the fate of her crew.
Of course you can be nitpicky and question why a young ship like the A and a young guy like Chekov should retire alongside an old guy like McCoy, but then you'd entirely miss the point of the story.
I don't get the design continuity obsession, I must have watched TUC more than five times and I never ever saw even the engineering room shot. I couldn't care less about whether the sets in movie L match those in movie K.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

Our printable kindergarten behavior charts put progress on display in a noticeable way, helping kids feel proud of their actions and improvements. Because our kindergarten charts have colorful pictures and focus on what the child is doing right, kids view them as a positive thing. This is important in keeping kindergarteners interested. Using this physical reminder of good choices is an easy way to integrate positive parenting, so print out one of these behavior charts for kindergarten kids to get started!
The behavior charts for kindergarten kids we provide are a great, free resource that helps parents teach good habits to children. Based on the proven approach of positive reinforcement, choices like brushing teeth, making the bed, and picking up toys are noted and appreciated. Use kindergarten charts to encourage good behavior by easily tracking children's progress. Kids will like the display of their successes being visible for others to see, and parents will know when it's time to reward behavior improvements. Whether the goal is to get kids to pick up their rooms or to share with their siblings more, our behavior charts make it easier for kindergarteners and their parents.

From hot fires to sharp objects to running out onto the street, it's a tricky to teach the little ones about the hazards and dangers of life. Julia has quite a dilemma with her son's fascination with tying himself up. Julia needs your advice on how to handle her delicate situation. She writes:
I am having a HUGE problem with my 3 1/2 year old son. He has taken to tying everything up. He will take the laces out of his shoes and tie them around pretty much everything he can find. Recently he has decided to tie himself up and claim that "someone has tied me up" it started out quite cute because he really knew how to work the lower lip (Oscar anyone???). Until recently it has been very innocent. At least 3 or 4 times he has tied something around his neck. I tried being calm and explaining that this is very dangerous and we don't put things around our necks (fortunately my husband doesn't wear a tie for work, that would be too confusing...) until today. I was at a fellow urban mama's house and was inside the house for a brief moment to get my purse, looked outside to check on the kids and he was on a plastic bin in front of a tree with the rope used to climb the tree around his neck. My heart is still racing as I type this. I lost it as I am sure most of you mamas would. I go t more detailed about what could happen, i.e. killing himself, but being only 3 1/2 years old I know he didn't get it. Has anyone out there gone through anything similar? If you have, any advice? I have tried taking laces and the like away, but he seems to find things I wouldn't have even thought of. I keep thinking of all the horrible things that could have happened, and am very grateful he is sweetly sleeping away upstairs. Please help!

Link to column (with Elton Brand video interview):
Here is a portion of the column:
"They looked at that other (Heat-Pacers) series and saw an opportunity," Collins said.
And the Celtics played with more urgency than the Sixers.
"It seemed like they didn't want to be down 2-1 more than we wanted to be up 2-1," said Elton Brand.
The Sixers had played three consecutive one-point playoff games, making them the first team in NBA history to do so, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Control Interfaces
When the Singularity comes, you'll program your
home with pure consciousness. Until then, you'll need
to tell any home automation system how to behave.
Even in a smart home where actions auto-trigger
based on occupancy sensors or weather patterns,
you need some sort of setup screen or programming
interface to define your system's behavior. Some of
the latest commercial graphical interfaces can provide a terrific front-end to custom hardware projects.
Communications protocols dictate how well the
automated devices in your home talk; they can mean
the difference between a sprinkler system that turns
off at the right time and one that floods the driveway.
Some protocols send signals over electrical wires,
others send them over the air. They all vary according
to reliability, hackability, and security. The best opportunities are with protocols whose licensing bodies
offer affordable developer kits for people who want
to experiment.
Physical Interfaces
Getting signals to zip around your home is one thing.
The real challenge is ensuring that they trigger the intended actions. At the edge of the network, proximity,
temperature, infrared (page 118), and other sensors
provide inputs to the controller. And for outputs,
devices need to translate commands into steps, such
as turning on a 240-volt power supply or operating a
window-blind servomotor, then report back on device
status to confirm success of the mission. (All protocols except X10 have a feedback system built-in.)
42 Make: makezine.com/30
Cloud Service With a "cloud" inter-face, changes made on any web-con-nected device are routed back throughthe network to your home. Havingthe magic happen on a distant servermeans always-on status, cross-platformcompatibility, and mobile access.Setting up these services — such asDigi's iDigi Device Cloud, Verizon'sHome Monitoring and Control, Lowe'sIris Smart Home System, or Xfinity'sHome Security — entails paying a fee,installing a home internet gateway, andlogging into the company's web page.
ZigBee This protocol is based on the
IEEE 802.15.4 standard for general-purpose wireless, plus some additions
owned by the ZigBee Alliance (zigbee.
org). It works on both 915MHz and the
more common 2.4GHz frequency, with
a range of 50 meters. Dumb nodes like
sensors and switches sleep a lot, so
they can run for over a year on battery
power, while the rest of the system does
the heavy lifting of routing the 250kbps
data stream. This means you need to
install at least one "coordinator" ZigBee
node in a network (page 66). If you want
to create the next ZigBee must-have,
developer kits cost $150–$300.
Z-Wave This fast-growing standard
( z-wavealliance.org) sends radio signals over the air on the 908.42MHz
frequency, sometimes running afoul
of cordless phones, but avoiding the
increasingly crowded 2.4GHz space.
Plug-In Switches The simplestmodules plug in to wall power andcontrol any device that you plug intothem. All protocols have such wall warts(prices vary from $10 to $200) as wellas receptacles you can install in-wall fora seamless appearance. You can alsocontrol an outlet from a microcontrollerusing the PowerSwitch Tail II, whichsimply takes a digital pin output(3–12V DC, 3mA–30mA) to switchan integrated 120V AC, 15A plug.

One of my favourite UD eyeshadows... it will suit all skin tones and wears long with a primer and not too badly without one. Really lovely colour, pigmentation and application. Think of a 'metallic neutral' and you have Smog! :)
got this colour in my naked 1 palette. its so pretty, looks so nice on my skin, will repurchase as a single.
Smog is the bomb! The texture is buttery and the pigmentation is excellent. It is the perfect combination of bronze, brown and gold. It is such an effortlessly sexy, smoldering color without being too dark. You can just swipe and blend it onto your lids for a basic day smokey eye, use it in the crease and to darken up your look in your outer corners. The list goes on! My personal favorite is to have Half Baked in the inner half of my lid, and Smog on the outer half, and blend the edges with a 217. It looks incredibly sexy and looks like you put a lot more work into your eyeshadow than you actually did!
Absolutely brilliant color! I'm an NC42 in MAC and this color is so vibrant and makes your eye color look extremely gorgeous. This particular eyeshadow is so smooth and easy to apply with a brush or your finger. It is also one of those versatile colors where you can use it for a simple everyday look, or glam it up with a smokey color in the crease for a night time look. Just wonderful!!
I would buy this again in a heartbeat. The color is to die for, and the product goes on like butter.

Color: Rich golden bronze
-love the packaging: compact design with a lid I can see through easily
-versatile. I can use this as a light eyeliner for a shimmer effect, in my crease to create a bronzed smokey eye, or layered over a cream brown eyeliner
-decent staying power
-rich pigment
This is shimmery, but is not over the top glittery. The shimmer just gives the bronze effect

NOTE: I have this in the original Naked palette, so it is not the new UD eyeshadow formula.
Smog is absolutely gorgeous. Easily the most pigmented shade in the Naked palette. When I swatch it, I can keep rubbing it into my skin for about four decent swatches.
It's a gold-bronze shadow that is perfect for deepening up your crease. Smog plays well with matte, shimmer, satin, and glitter finishes and stays put pretty well. It's super soft and flatters my blue eyes. Though I would consider this a warm color, it still works on my cool complexion.
This is my new favorite crease color, and it's just perfect in quality, color, everything!

A real winner from UD - this is "my" kind of shadow. Lovely golden brown/burnished shade, excellent pigmentation, smooth, buttery texture that blends like a dream with other shadows. No surprise that this is a frequent feature in UD's palettes and a long-time mainstay of their line. Just a great shadow for any colour of eyes - looks great on my dark browns and I bet it would be stunning on blue eyes too.

One of my favorites by UD. The color is gorgeous for that every day look or even a sultry brown smokey eye. I discovered this in the naked 1 palette & recently got the loose pigment in a swap which I'm very happy about b/c I don't wanna run out of this e/s!
Wow. This eye shadow is realy pigmented and is a gorgeous color. Smog is definetley a great neutral everyone should have in their makeup bag! I have smog in the vegan urban decay palette. This palette is pricey but it is totally worth it! It comes with some really great colors and this one is my 2nd fave in the palette(my first being half baked)

In the Himalayas: Carrying the Gospel to the 'roof of the world'

What is the first month of the year?
* = Required Fields
EAST ASIA (BP) -- Aaron Juergens* had the mountains etched on his heart long before he reached the Himalayas.
"When I was 1 year old, my dad moved my family out to Colorado to be near the mountains where there was more stuff to do," he said.
For the next 25 years, Juergens was cold, wet, dirty -- and happy.
"But there's something about being the ones to pray from a mountaintop in Jesus' name over a valley that has long been the enemy's territory."
"We did pretty much everything outdoors you could do when I was a kid, and after high school I started climbing 'fourteeners,'" he said of Colorado's 54 peaks that soar over 14,000 feet. "I would climb three mountains a week. It got to the point where I was never home."
He froze his fingers enough times that he never again forgot gloves. He earned a college degree in mapmaking. He learned weather patterns, orientation and knot tying.
It was ordained entertainment.
"God had that planned out," Juergens said. "I understand exactly why I have been brought up and raised the way I am. God knew who I was when I was a little kid and He knew who I'd be today."
Today, Juergens hikes the "roof of the world," battling freezing temperatures, adapting inadequate maps and running from lightning storms.
His suffering is countered by the rewards of reaching people who have never heard the Gospel.
"Not all people live in the cities where you can take a taxi to their front door," Juergens said. "People live in places that we would never dream of living in but the fact is they live there. That's where they're put and they're not coming to us. We have to go to them."
He and his teammates do just that. It's a tough job even for Juergens. People get sick from the altitude and the food. Travel is grueling. The spiritual warfare is intense.
John Costa*, Juergens' team leader, said it takes five days to reach a village from the city.
"It's a multiple-hour bus ride into the mountains and then you have to spend a couple of days in a base town acclimatizing before you can start to hike or mountain bike out," Costa said.
The ridges to climb are between 10,000 and 15,000 feet, interspersed with valleys. Vicious dogs and giant oxen, yaks, are not uncommon. The air is thin and cold.
But the struggles are inherent in a trek to an unreached people who are, Costa said, simply hard to reach.
"There are a lot of people out there that if we want to actually walk through their front door and share the Gospel with them, we're going to have to use our feet or a bike," he said. "And the obstacles aren't just geographic -- they're physical, spiritual and political."
Each unreached people group has its own challenges -- language, hostile terrain, security or accessibility, Juergens said.
"If you don't like the cold or you don't like inclement weather or you're afraid to get tired and sweat or if you're afraid your makeup's going to run or you don't like how your hair looks when you're tired, this isn't the job for you," Juergens said. "Climbing mountains isn't easy. They don't climb themselves."
And mountains can be deadly.
Severe altitude sickness hit one team member on a ridge recently and it took 14 hours to evacuate him. Costa and Juergens took him down the mountain in a trip that first utilized villagers' horses, then a borrowed car, and then a hired car to reach the hospital.
"We had to pull off a rescue," Costa said. "We take great care not to let that happen. We push to the edge, but it's a calculated risk. We are compelled to reach these people, so we want to put significant effort into it."
The mountains can be unpredictable and certain issues can make the terrain difficult to access, including the denial of permits, civil unrest and travel restrictions. In some areas, foreigners aren't allowed.
"We are seeing more questioning than ever before but the Gospel is advancing more than ever," Costa said, noting that the spiritual warfare is producing spiritual fruit. "The two go hand in hand."
Progress is slow.
Costa has been working among the people of the Himalayas for more than 10 years and has seen three people accept Jesus Christ.
"We would love to see it go faster. We would love to say there have already been churches planted but we are only just starting to see tangible fruit," he said, noting more than a decade of arduous hiking and biking, sickness and language learning.
"This for us is a long-haul effort to reach these people," Costa said.
It's something Grace Westrick*, a summer worker, said was difficult to grasp.
"You spend so much time and effort getting out to the people, and then once you get there, their hearts are so closed it's crazy," she said.
"But there's something about being the ones to pray from a mountaintop in Jesus' name over a valley that has long been the enemy's territory," she said. "If the one who has been defeated can be here, why not the Victor?"
Jesus is revealing Himself, Costa said.
"We've seen a spike in people coming to know Christ and I think that's indicative of what God is doing," he said.
A new believer requesting baptism will be the first to receive the rite in front of his family and community.
"We are facing more obstacles than we ever have before, but this is no surprise. This believer represents the very first person who wants to be baptized in this place. Satan's not just going to give that up easily," Costa said.
For Juergens, that's no reason to quit, but encouragement to persevere, even in sickness and freezing temperatures atop a mountain.
"I'm up there, wearing six jackets and three gloves and five socks and I really just kind of want to sit in a bed," he said. "But then you think about those people (who haven't heard yet). If we turn around, who is going to come next? I mean, how many people have turned around? The world is getting smaller. The day is coming when everybody is going to have no excuse whatsoever for not hearing. There's no excuse for turning back.
"We keep going."

Choosing Books for Pre-Teens and Teens
Posted with permission of
Reading Is Fundamental, Inc.
Choose books that preteens and teens like:
Preteens and teens are increasingly interested in local, national, and international current events. Read editorials and articles from the newspaper and news magazines.
Preteens and teens question authority. Read classic and modern novels that deal with 'big' issues such as when the needs of a community are more important than those of individuals.
Preteens and teens are striving for independence, yet still want to be connected to their families. Read your favorite books and explain why they are important to you and read books that let you share laughter, a good mystery, an action-packed adventure, a science fiction journey.
Preteens and teens are gradually learning to think abstractly and understand the reasons behind views that differ from their own. Read books that challenge them to think 'out of the box' and see the world beyond their daily experiences.
Preteens and teens are thinking about what they will do in their lives -- college, careers, and more. Read books that introduce a wide range of opportunities and experiences.

Alicia Keys Performs 'Poetic Justice' With Kendrick Lamar
Alicia Keys was showing off them curves last night while performing at the Staples Center as part of her "Set The World On Fire" tour. Since the show was in Los Angeles, it was only right that one of the hottest rappers in the game right now, who just happens to be from Compton, joined her on stage.
In the middle of her set, she began singing Janet Jackson's "Any Time, Any Place" before the beat dropped to Kendrick Lamar's "Poetic Justice." The crowd went crazy as he hit the stage, dressed in all white, and shut it down.
What a nice surprise!
Catch that and more pics from Alicia's show below:

It's official, former New York Jet cornerback Darelle Revis is headed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the Bucs 13th selection in the first round and a conditional 3rd or 4th next year. It's a 6 year, 96 million contract, though not guaranteed, giving Revis an annual salary of 16 mil.
And yes, that was the Arizona Cardinal's own CB Patrick Peterson in the background, thrusting his fists and letting go some "Hell, Yeah!!"s
It puts him in a nice position next offseason for a BIG payday.
Currently, Peterson is locked into a NFL CBA mandated 4 year guaranteed contract with the team holding a fifth year option. The club can exercise the option after the player's third year by adding an additional year that would pay Peterson what the top ten guys at his position make. While the Revis signing is going to exacerbate that average - plenty of good,young CBs like PP ($2.0 in 2013) and Richard Sherman ($555,000) aren't going tilt the scale enough to where the Cardinals can fiscally say they have to renegotiate. They COULD lock the third year player with a financially sound team investment. But this would be bad business.
If Peterson continues on the performance arc he's currently on, he's going to want to tear up his contract next year at this time and point at the Revis' contract as a starting level. And according to the Player's Association CBA guidelines, he'd be within his rights also. He could holdout until his value is compensated to what he thinks his worth is. Why risk a career-ending injury when most NFL contracts aren't guaranteed?
With Larry Fitzgerald, Calais Campbell and Carson Palmer attributing almost 40 million, nearly one-third of the team's salary cap in 2014, can the Cardinals fit Peterson into the fold?

Hundreds Attend Public Burial Service for Elizabeth Collins
WATERLOO, Iowa (CBS2/Fox28) -- Hundreds gathered at Waterloo Memorial Park Cemetery for a public burial service for Elizabeth Collins. Collins, 8, and her cousin, Lyric Cook, went missing last July. Their bodies were found in December in a wooded area in Bremer County.
"You're going to struggle regardless. So why not struggle with people who love us, and be there to pray over us and encourage us, and just listen to us? That's what we need. That's what community is for," said Chris Reeves, Associate Pastor at Heartland Vineyard Church.
Drew and Heather Collins have said they draw strength from the outpouring of support from the Evansdale community – a community equally inspired by them. "It helps us to get through it, to see their faith and their strength," said Sarah Staebell, a family friend.
At this point, investigators haven't announced what killed Elizabeth Collins and Lyric Cook. Authorities continue to investigate the case.

In 1919 Sister Patricia Thibadeau was tasked with establishing the first medical record department at St. Mary's Hospital. In 1926 she became the administrator of St. Mary's, but her interest in medical records remained. She presented a plan for a medical record librarian program at St. Mary's in conjunction with the College. In 1935 she received approval for an academic department at the College. What would become today's Health Informatics and Information Department celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2010. In 1980 Sister Patricia was posthumously honored by the American Medical Association for her contributions to Allied Health Education and Accreditation.
Sister Mary Patricia was my great grand aunt. My aunt, Patricia Jeanne Thibadeau was also an alumna (1940). Congratulations on your centennial.
