Great Teachers Don't Teach | Edutopia
A fabulous article that sums up everything I believe about how teachers should be empowered to teach.
One of the things teachers do that is often not fully understood or considered (or is outright ignored) by parents, administration, and legislators, is buying materials for their classrooms out of pocket. Most people are simply not aware the significant amounts of money teachers give up to make their classrooms run better and their students learn better.
Think about it. Did you have to purchase your own work computer? What about a filing cabinet? Printer paper? Printer ink cartridges? Business cards? Letterhead? Copy machine maintenance? Toilet paper? Next time you are at work, take a hard look at everything around you and consider how many of the things you need to do your job are provided for you by your employer. Imagine how you would feel if the expectation were that you to provide those things yourself. While you might buy some things for your workplace — your preferred style of pen, a plant, Kleenex, a required uniform, a wine key, etc. — the things you purchase are small, personal, infrequent, and usually last for as long as you take care of it. Teachers' supplies on the other hand are large; numerous; for their students, not themselves; and frequent, being depleted constantly, needing perpetual replenishing.
I happened to stumble upon these lists when browsing something unrelated, but they seem worth saving. Here are some websites, in no particular order, listing those stores and websites that offer teacher and student discounts.
Diane Ravitch, on why schools should not be treated like businesses
(via Why I Cannot Support the Common Core Standards | Diane Ravitch's blog)
I just finished Finnish Lessons by Pasi Sahlberg. There was so much wonderful information in there, and it was an inspiring read. However, it reminded me how far we sadly have to go in the U.S. This summary does great service to the original.
For the record, I will share the headings of the most useful chart from the book (page 103), comparing GERM (global education reform movement) with the Finnish way.
Standardized teaching and learning vs Customizing teaching and learning
Focus on literacy and numeracy vs Focus on creative learning
Teaching prescribed curriculum vs Encouraging risk-taking
Borrowing market-oriented reform ideas vs Learning from the past and owning innovations
Test-based accountability and control vs Shared responsibility and trust
Summary of Finnish Lessons via the DailyKos.
(Note: The source, the DailyKos, is a very politicaly liberal website. However, the summary is true to the book's content — the best and most comprehensive I was able to find online, in fact — and does not editorialize, thus its inclusion.)

Great article about one school district's technology integration and how it was successfully achieved and continues to be maintained. Many key factors were/are involved, but I think the most important thing is the way the technology and the vision for its use permeates every level with very strong supportive structures in place.
Students, parents, and teachers are all trained in how to utilize the technology, they are supported in every way to make its use seamless, and that expectation and accompanying support is continually reinforced. Communication, data sharing, and information availability are never neglected. Administrators are always focused on creating, reinforcing, and using the infrastructure learning technology provides, without it destroying their budget. The guiding vision is clear to everyone involved — which is, well, everyone! — and reiterated again and again.
Very inspiring!
I loved this article about wearing your most commonly needed supplies in a tool belt. From the article:
On a typical day, I loaded my tool belt with a pocket dictionary, paper clips, tape, rubber bands, pencils, whiteboard markers, index cards, a hole punch, a calculator, a compass, a protractor, and a train whistle (great for getting students' attention and transitioning from one activity to another…). And I still had room for little things that prevented big disruptions, like when a student reacted to a paper cut as though in need of a blood transfusion. I just reached into my tool belt, whipped out a Band-Aid®, handed it to the "injured" student, and carried on. No digging through drawers, no pass to the nurse, no words exchanged, and most of all, no instructional time lost.
Funny, I had the same exact inspiration when I was teaching, only my choice was to go with a Home Depot canvas apron. Less than a dollar!
If a full tool belt is too "manly" for you (as it is for me), you could go with an artist's or stylist's smock or apron, a slightly fancier canvas apron, or even a makeup artist's belt.
The Vine app is out and the internet is all atwitter about it. It's still too new to make any hard and fast judgment calls, but it looks incredibly promising, maybe a bit dangerous, and totally compelling. In short, Vine is a free iPhone app (soon to come to Android) that allows you to make a 6-second video: either recorded solid from start to finish or as an on-the-fly mashup. By making the "record button" your entire phone screen, the app stops recording every time you lift your finger, allowing you to reposition yourself or your subject repeatedly throughout the recording. The 6-second limit is on par with Twitter's 140-character limitations. Brevity is king here.
Here are some web apps to view Vine postings in various niche ways:
- Vinepeek
Vinepeek continuously loads random Vine videos for you to view.
- Vines Roulette
Similar to Vinepeek, but also allows you to search out specific hashtags or words from Vine postings.
- Vines Map
Vines Map flies you around a map of the world to show you Vine videos as they post, where they're posting from.
- All Around the Vines
Similar to Vines Map, but with the ability to narrow down with hashtags.
- Just Vined
Loads — you guessed it — Vine videos just uploaded, again in a grid.
- VinesZap
Similar to Just Vined, random recent Vine videos are loaded in a 3 x 3 grid, however, here you can also filter by hashtag.
- Vine Viewer
Search for vines based on hashtag.
Lots to think about with this medium! Some things that jump out at me immediately:
How can we follow an individual via the web? There's no directs stream access online; you have to find postings via Twitter or Facebook to be taken to an individual video, but tracking an individual is not easily possible. This is similar to the tactic Instagram took, leaving the sorting of users up to various programmers via their API. I suppose now we just wait for developers to start doing this with Vine.
Privacy is non-existent. While we are definitely deep in the Era of Overshare, we have learned time and time again via various company snafus that end users want to be able to control the level of privacy they have with their personal information, particularly photos and videos. As it is now, absolutely everything you put on Vine is accessible to everyone. Notably, you can post to Twitter and/or Facebook, where you can protect your account using those services' privacy options, but it's an all or nothing affair. It would be nice to pick and choose privacy levels on individual Vine videos, something like: public, friends only, or private. Or something like imgur's album settings: public, hidden but accessible to those who have the URL, and secret. Or! Maybe four settings: public, hidden, friends only, and private? I don't know, but privacy options should be fleshed out a bit more.
I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't even know there was a SXSWedu. Per Wikipedia, South by Southwest (aka SXSW) is a set of film, interactive, and music festivals and conferences that take place every spring (usually in March) in Austin, Texas. I'm always aware of the event peripherally, thanks to my Lifehacker addiction and general internet consumption, but only this year did I get a whisper of the SXSWedu conference. Shame on me!
The SmartBlog on Education had an entry about some of the ideas being tossed around at 2013's SXSWedu as it relates to the concept of teacher as facilitator of learning, one that was certainly a big focus of my own graduate studies.
Here is a summary, but check out the source article for the full details, completely with hyperlinks.
- Teach students to find the answers.
- Ignite a spark.
- Put context before content.
- Let learning be iffy.
- Bring students in as curriculum designers.

Foundation Group is the leading provider of charity registration and renewal services in America.
40 states and the District of Columbia require 501(c)(3) organizations to register with their Department of Charities prior to soliciting donations from the public. This department is usually a division of either the Attorney General's office or the Secretary of State.
Must my organization register?
Yes, it's the law. In fact, most state laws require registration before any donor is solicited to give to your nonprofit.
More about who must register
Typically, states exercise regulatory authority over nonprofits based on one of two premises: the nonprofit is physically "present" in the state or the nonprofit raises funds in the state.
In either case, a state may require the nonprofit to "register" by providing identifying information about the nonprofit and its operations. Organizations may find that raising funds from the public will give rise to regulatory obligations in multiple states.
What is registration?
Registration typically consists of providing the state with detailed information about the organization's programs, purpose and finances. The level of detail is often on par with filing for IRS 501(c)(3) status. And once a charity is registered, most states require renewal of the registration annually.
More about the registration process
Compliance reporting under solicitation laws is divided into two pieces: (1) registration, which provides an initial base of data and information about an organization's finances and governance; and (2) annual financial reporting, which keeps the states apprised about the organization's operations with an emphasis on fundraising results and practices. Typically, states require both registration (at least an initial registration) and annual financial reporting.
With forty jurisdictions regulating in this manner, there is inevitably little consistency of approach. Some states have one-time registration; others require annual renewal of registration; some will require submission of every common governance and financial document; others make do with just an IRS Form 990; and so forth.
The complexities involved can be overwhelming to any nonprofit! We can take that worry off your shoulders.
Noncompliance Penalties
Penalties for noncompliance are stiff and can quickly reach into the thousands of dollars. As cash-strapped states increase their ability to track down unregistered charities, the odds of getting sanctioned are rapidly rising.
Penalties for Noncompliance Could Cost You Thousands!
More about penalties
Significantly, technical compliance with any state's registration law requires initial registration before the first solicitation has been directed into the state. The fact remains that many nonprofits have not done the necessary legal homework before launching fundraising campaigns. If your nonprofit is one of these, you should be very concerned. But you should not be deterred from going ahead with registration because you fear you are breaking a law already and it's too late to comply.
We Can Help!
The Foundation Group provides Charitable Solicitations Registration services for every state in the nation that requires it. There is simply no reason to continue to operate out of compliance and to risk the penalties associated with not registering.

"If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of."
-Bruce Lee
I've been thinking about art a lot. About great books, the sometimes not-so-great people who write them and about my own shortcomings as an artist. I suppose my observation can translate to every sphere of human interest, but I'll talk about what I know and since I've been a cog in the publishing business for almost four years now, I'll talk about books.
Last year, I wrote a post about this theory of mine. I argued that if you strive for greatness, you needed a model you could never quite match, so you could keep ahead of everybody else while chasing your ideal down. That the state of longing was quite healthy. Consider this text to be an addendum to the lure theory.
One thing about the publishing industry that makes me feel horrible is that state of latent competition between everybody. As if there weren't enough readers in the world for everybody. Although I don't believe that, I'm guilty of feeling this way too, especially when others wallow in every minor success they have on social media. That makes me paranoid. Should I do it too? Should I make myself sound more successful that I really am? I often have to talk myself out of it.
Why do we feel that pinch when others release great artistic material into the world? Isn't it because of great books that we've started writing at all? I know I did. I was inspired by the chronicler of Boston's working class Dennis Lehane (not that I haven't told you that a thousand times already). So should I feel different whenever anybody else publishes an awe-inspiring novel? No.
I believe creating art is a selfish business, but it's done for selfless reasons.
Imagine you've written something great. An epochal novel that made the critics drop to one knee and the people stampede to their nearest book store. Why did you write it? Because it was the best story you could tell, sure but what are your expectations now? What will your life be until somebody writes something better? So many readers become writers because they feel the challenge. That's how great art is created and that's how artistic golden era are born. Artists feed of one another's creativity to create something greater than themselves. That's how art thrives and survives. By transforming readers into Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and Albert Camus.
Of course, there are no tangible measurement for art, except maybe book sales and given the state of publishing, it would consecrate terrible writers as geniuses. What I'm saying here is that feeling intimidated by anything art-wise is a waste of your precious time on this Earth. Great art, wherever it comes from, should make your feel elated, enlightened and inspired. You should harvest great fiction for creativity triggers and then write your own. Greatness engineers greatness. Never feel intimidated by somebody else's work. Feel inspired.
A great artist can make you feel like an unreachable philosopher on the top of his mountain, but always remember that the only thing that separates you is your willingness to climb.

Security Basics
mailing list archives
Well said, I tip my hat to you.
And I to you as well. I've enjoyed reading your perspective.
In your setup you've introduced more systems handling specific
functions that a good firewall appliance would do in one box.
That's very true. I believe in separating major functionality onto
separate hosts to reduce the risk that the compromise of a single
service would compromise everything (e.g. if our SMTP gateway is
compromised, it won't affect the HTTP gateway). I prefer building a
"firewall infrastructure" rather than a "firewall". I personally
think it creates a more secure environment. That may not be true in
every environment however if the expertise isn't present.
By using PF and Netfilter together, the chances of a single
vulnerability allowing an attacker to bypass both devices is
extremely unlikely. Having a single type of firewall means that any
one vulnerability in that firewall could potentially be devastating
to your internal LAN.
The other side to this argument is the increased complexity and
resource requirements that using different firewalls creates. It is
true that each has their own configuration syntax, but once you've
learned the concepts of packet filtering, it isn't too difficult to
grasp a new syntax. The resource requirements would vary depending
on each situation.
In our environment, I believe the benefits of using different
firewalls outweighs the drawbacks by quite a bit. This may not be
true everywhere however.
supplementary equipment. If we compare that to a Checkpoint solution
your ROI could easily be lower.
I'm sure our setup costs were quite a bit lower initially, but it
would be interesting to see the costs over a period of 5+ years.
Now there are a plethora of tools out there that make managing a
*NIX firewall and proxy solutions loads easier but the same can be
said for the appliance solution. I personally think handling a
netfilter firewall is far easier then handling a PIX but I'm sure our
Cisco guys on the list could argue the other way.
Usually a person's familiarity with a product is a major factor in
determining how easy it is to use/administer. I would agree with you
about using Netfilter vs a PIX personally, but I'll sure Cisco users
would argue with us just as you stated.
All in all I'm a K.I.S.S. man, (Keep it simple stupid),
especially when it comes to security. The more complicated your
solution is, the easier for something to slip through the cracks or be
I prefer the K.I.S.S method as well. I believe our setup here is
fairly easy to administer while meeting our security requirements at
the same time. Complexity is quite often bad for security. However,
making a modular firewall infrastructure doesn't have to be complex.
In many ways, it makes it easier to administer in my opinion (e.g. I
know that I don't have to worry about affecting SMTP traffic when I'm
upgrading our HTTP proxy, restarting the dns cache on our SMTP
gateway can't possibly affect our HTTP proxy, permitting one more
internal host to access the time server in one of our DMZs can't
accidentally allow traffic from the Internet into the DMZ, etc.)
All of the points you made about resources are valid as well. 6 of
one, half a dozen of the other I guess...

Sometimes just do, don't ask.
Vibram vice president of product design Peter Von Conta met resistance during every step of the process while launching the FiveFingers running shoe, a product that nearly everyone in the shoe business thought was destined for failure. As the critiques got louder, Vibram dug in its heels and launched one of the most successful products ever created in its 75-year history.
The Takeaway: The best advice is often when people tell you not to do something.
Would love to try running in these!

thanks for any input.. but im basically just really happy i can do this again!
Posted 28 February 2009 - 03:30 AM
I am with ya girl. I didn't try to tan for a couple years after my injury. I too went to a tannin place and was stoked to find out I could get in and out of the beds as well. Anyway, I am not on that many drugs, but as you mentioned, you just have to watch so you don't burn where you are numb too bad. I did a cycle of tannin, but unfortunately, I can't keep a tan like I once could. Anyway, best of luck w/ you girl and just watch the temp and your color and I think all should be fine. Take care and have a good one!

I don't tan myself, but sometimes in mid-winter I'll go in for ten minutes on the lowest setting just to feel warm and perhaps get a vitamin D boost.

Tanning beds are not as "healthy" as the good 'ole sun because tanning beds emit from 50% to 100% more UV rays than natural sunlight. So, you would be much safer lying out in the sun. Also, the sun provides you with vitamin D which is a good as well. Also, I just read that: "In truth, tanning beds can be very dangerous, causing burns, suppression of immune systems, damage to the cornea, cosmetic and drug-induced photosensitivity, and a higher risk of developing melanoma cancer." EEK!
Personally, I'd op for the sun and maybe a beach.

Do mind your skin however, and don't cook/fry yourself.
Moreover, raise the subject with your GP in regard to the meds you take, and whether or not, sun exposure is 'contraindicated' while taking the meds you require. It's unlikely, but it's still best to check.
As a blue-eyed, blonde-haired, fair-skinned girl, I am, as my husband calls me, "a porcelin princess". I cannot tan. I only burn and it is detrimental to the health of my skin. My father, whom I physically take after, incurred melanoma because he did not protect his skin in the sun. He was lucky and had it removed before it spread. Moreover, my father-in-law died because he incurred melanoma and it spread tp his bones. It was a horrific and painful death.
Hence, I personally wear 45+ SPF coverage if we holiday in the sun and I also sit under a big market umbrella. Further, my daily facial skin care has a 30 SPF block in it to protect my face from early aging. I proudly boast good skin and can easily pass for a woman 10 years younger. I also eat well, exercise, sleep well and DON'T smoke. The health benefits are superfluous!
You're young now, but if you 'fry/cook' your skin continuously, you will look like 'an old leather boot' by the time you reach my age. Inasmuch as you are a pretty, young thing at 19, you will regret frying/cooking your skin at 40. You are also risking skin cancer if you over-expose.
Notwithstanding, the sun is good for the body. It is the only source of Vitamin D, unless you take supplements or foods fortified with Vitamin D. Further, Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium which is paramountly necessary for SCI'd people and their bone health.
How is your bone density? Have you had a scan? Are you taking Calcium/Vitamin D? They are extremely important. This is definitely something you need to look into if you haven't yet.
At the advice of my bone doctor, I take 1000 mg of calcium daily and I take 1000 IU of Vitamin D. I am eating as best I can to take in natural calcium, but I live in Canada and we just don't get enough sun for me to absorb the calcium I take, and implement in my diet, so I have to take extra Vitamin D. If you can absorb Vitamin D through tanning, I think it is a worthwhile pursuit, but again, check with your doctor as artificial sun may not even provide Vitamin D.
Tanning can be good for you, if you consider the benefits of mental health. Everyone has a skip in their step when the sun shines. It is just so good for one's positive outlook on life. The sun sleeps over the winter. Hence, if it contributes to your Vitamin D intake. Tan. Tan, tan, tan. Again, do ssk your MD about this...and don't 'cook/fry' your skin. You'll regret it in your 40's.

tottally, same with edog.. it makes me feel great and i will be careful with my skin and i will post pics when im nice and tan!
I think the key here is feeling 'normal' again. Doing the things that you loved to do before your injury that make you feel as normal as possible are good. Pursue them!!!
:] thanks everyone

I'm quite the pasty white girl myself and would always just lay out in the actual sun to get tan. God, I remember in High School just baking for hours. Now I kind of regret it ...
Tanning beds are not as "healthy" as the good 'ole sun because tanning beds emit from 50% to 100% more UV rays than natural sunlight. So, you would be much safer lying out in the sun. Also, the sun provides you with vitamin D which is a good as well.

I agree with Karen, recent findings have shown that sunbeds are definitely a lot more dangerous than the sun. Problem is we don't all live in Florida. Noroxin particularly increases sun sensitivity. In the end though, it is all about what makes you feel sexy. If that is a tan then go for it. Personally I love a good tan and hate winter (first day of Autumn here) because it rains a lot and I end up looking like a raw pie.

No. 07-19
In the Supreme Court of the United States
Solicitor General
Counsel of Record
Department of Justice
Washington, D.C. 20530-0001
(202) 514-2217
In the Supreme Court of the United States
No. 07-19
The 7-6 en banc majority of the Federal Circuit erred in this case both by concluding that the 15-day statutory time limit for filing an appeal with the Merit Systems Protection Board under the Veterans Employment Op portunities Act of 1998 (VEOA), 5 U.S.C. 3300a(d), is not jurisdictional (and therefore not mandatory) and by con cluding that the time limit is subject to equitable tolling. With regard to the former conclusion, respondent sug gests (Br. in Opp. 21-28) that it is unnecessary for this Court to vacate the court of appeals' judgment and re mand in light of the Court's intervening decision in Bowles v. Russell, 127 S. Ct. 2360 (2007), on the theory that Bowles, which held that a similar appellate time limit was mandatory, does not call into question the court of appeals' analysis. With regard to the latter con clusion, respondent contends (Br. in Opp. 7-21) that, assuming that the time limit is non-jurisdictional, fur ther review is not warranted, because the court of ap peals correctly followed decisions from this Court hold ing that equitable tolling was available under differently (and less emphatically) worded statutes. Respondent's reasoning is flawed on both counts.
A. The Court of Appeals' Jurisdictional Ruling Cannot Be Squared With Bowles v. Russell
1. In rejecting the government's argument that the appellate time limit in Section 3330a(d)(1) is jurisdic tional (and therefore mandatory), the court of appeals held that statutes specifying periods for review, no less than statutes of limitations, were subject to a presump tion in favor of equitable tolling. Pet. App. 19a. The court of appeals asserted that this Court had "clarified that time prescriptions, however emphatic, are not prop erly typed 'jurisdictional.'" Id. at 19a-20a (internal quo tation marks omitted) (citing Arbaugh v. Y&H Corp., 546 U.S. 500 (2006); Eberhart v. United States, 546 U.S. 12 (2005) (per curiam); Scarborough v. Principi, 541 U.S. 401 (2004); and Kontrick v. Ryan, 540 U.S. 443 (2004)). In Bowles, however, this Court held that the failure to file a notice of appeal within the statutory pe riod deprived a court of appeals of jurisdiction. 127 S. Ct. at 2363-2366. Critically, the Court distinguished all four of the prior decisions on which the court of appeals had relied, explaining that "none of them calls into ques tion our longstanding treatment of statutory time limits for taking an appeal as jurisdictional" and that "those decisions have also recognized the jurisdictional signifi cance of the fact that a time limitation is set forth in a statute." Id. at 2364 (emphases added). Bowles thus knocks out the underpinnings of the court of appeals' reasoning in holding that the time limit in Section 3330a(d)(1) is not jurisdictional.
Respondent makes no effort to contend otherwise; indeed, he scarcely acknowledges the prior decisions of this Court on which the court of appeals primarily re lied. Instead, he contends that "this case has nothing to do with Bowles," Br. in Opp. 21, on the theory that a different rule should apply to time limits for appeals to administrative agencies from that for appeals to Article III courts, id. at 1-2, 23-24, 25-26. As a preliminary mat ter, that contention is best addressed in the first in stance by the court of appeals on remand, because that court did not have the benefit of Bowles when it issued its decision. Cf. Lawrence ex rel. Lawrence v. Chater, 516 U.S. 163, 167 (1996) (per curiam) (providing that a remand is appropriate where there is "a reasonable probability that the decision below rests upon a premise that the lower court would reject if given the opportu nity for further consideration").
In any event, respondent's contention lacks merit. Congress can constrain administrative agencies, no less than Article III courts, by specifying the circumstances under which they have jurisdiction to hear cases, includ ing when they act in the capacity of appellate tribu nals-and, when Congress does so, agencies have no greater authority than courts to deviate from those con straints. Notably, respondent fails to cite a single deci sion, from this Court or any other court, that stands for the proposition that appellate time limits for administra tive agencies are not "jurisdictional," in the sense of be ing mandatory. The sole authority respondent cites (Br. in Opp. 25) is a concurring opinion by Judge McConnell, which, far from supporting respondent's position, simply reaffirms the principle that "[t]he scope of regulatory jurisdiction * * * is a matter of policy for Congress to decide," Fuel Safe Washington v. FERC, 389 F.3d 1313, 1333 (10th Cir. 2004), and concludes that, in the statute at issue, Congress did not permit a party to challenge the agency's jurisdiction for the first time in a petition for review to an Article III court, see id. at 1333-1334.1
Respondent more generally relies (Br. in Opp. 15-16, 23-24) on this Court's decisions in Irwin v. Department of Veterans Affairs, 498 U.S. 89 (1990), and Bowen v. City of New York, 476 U.S. 467 (1986). Both of those cases, however, are distinguishable on the ground that they did not involve deadlines for filing "appeals," but rather deadlines for initiating litigation in Article III courts. See Irwin, 498 U.S. at 91 (30-day limit for filing civil action under Title VII after receiving notice of final action by EEOC); Bowen, 476 U.S. at 478 (60-day limit for filing civil action under Social Security Act after re ceiving notice of final decision by Commissioner). Al though respondent notes (Br. in Opp. 16) that, at one point in its opinion in Bowen, the Court described the statute at issue as providing a mechanism for "seek[ing] judicial review," 476 U.S. at 472, the Court, in rejecting the argument that the 60-day limit was jurisdictional, repeatedly characterized the statute as a statute of "lim itations," id. at 478-479. Accordingly, neither Bowen nor Irwin supports respondents' argument that the time limit on appeals at issue here is not jurisdictional. And of course, neither of those cases undermines the ratio nale of Bowles, which compels the contrary conclusion.
2. Respondent suggests (Br. in Opp. 27) that it would be inappropriate to vacate and remand this case in light of Bowles because doing so would delay the hearing that the court of appeals awarded him under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA), 38 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. As a preliminary matter, to the extent that such a remand would result in delay, it is because respondent agreed to stay proceedings on his USERRA claim before the MSPB, pending this Court's disposition of the govern ment's petition for a writ of certiorari on his VEOA claim. See 7/27/07 Initial Decision 2. It is therefore un surprising that, in entering the stay, the administrative judge concluded that respondent would suffer no preju dice from the delay. See ibid. More broadly, however, if the Court were to decide not to vacate and remand solely on the ground that it would delay respondent's USERRA hearing, it would effectively penalize the gov ernment for failing to seek further review of the court of appeals' holding on whether respondent was entitled to that hearing in the first place. See Pet. 10 n.1.2
To the extent that respondent suggests (Br. in Opp. 27) that it would also be inappropriate to vacate and re mand because the government could obtain further re view of the court of appeals' holding after the underlying VEOA claim is adjudicated, that suggestion also lacks merit. Notwithstanding respondent's contention (Br. in Opp. 17-19) that the question presented is neither im portant nor recurring, the court of appeals' holding is already having deleterious effects in other VEOA cases, and its reasoning calls into question the firmness of other statutory time limits as well. See Pet. 23. Those effects will undoubtedly continue as long as the court of appeals' holding remains in place. This Court should therefore vacate the decision below and afford the court of appeals the opportunity to reconsider, in light of Bowles, whether the time limit in Section 3330a(d)(1) is jurisdictional.
B. The Court Of Appeals Further Erred By Allowing Equi table Tolling
1. Having held that the time limit in Section 3330a(d)(1) is not jurisdictional, the court of appeals further erred by concluding that the time limit is subject to equitable tolling. In so doing, the court rejected the government's argument that Section 3330a(d)(1), which provides that a VEOA appeal "in no event may * * * be brought * * * later than 15 days" after the claimant receives written notice from the Secretary of Labor, contains unusually emphatic language that overcomes the ordinarily applicable presumption in favor of equita ble tolling. Pet. App. 10a. Further, the court dismissed "the statute's technical language" as "little more than a neutral factor in our analysis." Ibid.
In defense of that extraordinary reasoning, re- spondent contends (Br. in Opp. 11-13) that Section 3330a(d)(1) is no more emphatic than other statutes pro viding that a claim "must be filed" within a certain pe riod (or that a claim "shall be barred" unless it is filed within a certain period), some of which have been held to be subject to equitable tolling. That contention, how ever, is mistaken, for the straightforward reason that Congress could have written Section 3330a(d)(1) in those terms. It did not, and instead provided that the deadline in Section 3330a(d)(1) was "in no event" subject to ex ception. Tellingly, respondent offers no response to the point that a reading of Section 3330a(d)(1) that permit ted equitable tolling would render the phrase "in no event" superfluous. See, e.g., United States v. Nordic Vill., Inc., 503 U.S. 30, 36 (1992). Nor does respondent cite a single case in which a court has construed a stat ute that uses the phrase "in no event" to permit equita ble tolling; to the contrary, in other statutes, that phrase has consistently been construed strictly. See Pet. 18-19.
For the same reason, respondent's reliance (Br. in Opp. 9-10) on United States v. Brockamp, 519 U.S. 347 (1997), is unavailing. The statute in Brockamp provided that a "[c]laim for * * * refund * * * of any tax * * * shall be filed by the taxpayer" within a specified time period (and repeated that time limit on several oc casions). 26 U.S.C. 6511(a). Notwithstanding that less emphatic statutory language, the Court held that other features of the statute provided a sufficient basis to overcome the presumption in favor of equitable tolling. See Brockamp, 519 U.S. at 350-354. Those additional features, however, are not necessary where, as here, the "in no event" language of the statute is itself sufficiently emphatic to overcome the presumption.
Respondent effectively takes the position (Br. in Opp. 14) that, in order to foreclose equitable tolling, Congress must either use "magic words" in the statute (i.e., by expressly providing that "equitable tolling shall not apply"), or include the additional features that the Court cited in Brockamp. There is no reason, however, to impose those drafting conditions on Congress. With regard to Section 3330a(d)(1), respondent notes (Br. in Opp. 10) that the statute is "relatively short"; sets out its time limit in "straight-forward, simple terms"; and states that time limit only once. Respondent does not explain, however, why Congress should be required to repeat a time limit, or to use particularly complex or prolix language, in order to avoid equitable tolling, espe cially when a simple, emphatic "in no event" would seem to have the same effect. Nor is there any reason to adopt a rule of construction that would encourage Con gress to repeat itself (or to speak obscurely and at length).
Respondent further notes (Br. in Opp. 10) that Sec tion 3330a "contains no explicit exceptions that might suggest that Congress deliberately considered, yet re jected, equitable tolling." The obvious inference to be drawn from the fact that Congress specified that a VEOA appeal "in no event may * * * be brought" out side the 15-day limit, however, is that Congress intended that there be no exceptions to that limit. Congress need not include explicit exceptions simply in order to fore close the possibility that a broader implicit exception would subsequently be read into the statute. Instead, this Court presumes that Congress means what it says in a statute, and here that rule of construction compels the conclusion that Congress meant that the deadline in Section 3330a(d)(1) was "in no event" subject to excep tion. The court of appeals' contrary conclusion was erro neous, and, in the event that this Court does not vacate and remand for Bowles, it should grant plenary review to correct that conclusion.
2. Respondent seemingly acknowledges that, be cause the Federal Circuit has exclusive jurisdiction over appeals from MSPB decisions in VEOA cases, see 28 U.S.C. 1295(a)(9), no circuit conflict will arise on the availability of equitable tolling under Section 3330a(d)(1). Respondent nevertheless contends (Br. in Opp. 17-19) that further review is unwarranted because the Federal Circuit's decision will have only limited ef fects on the interpretation of other statutes. That con tention, however, is belied by the Federal Circuit's ex tensive reliance in this case on its earlier decision in Bailey v. West, 160 F.3d 1360 (1998), in which a divided en banc court, using similar methodology, held that the time limit for filing appeals from the Board of Veterans' Appeals to the Court of Veterans Appeals is subject to equitable tolling. Id. at 1368. This Court's intervention is warranted not only to correct the Federal Circuit's erroneous decision in this case, but to ensure that the Federal Circuit will not continue to employ that unduly broad methodology in future cases concerning the avail ability of equitable tolling.
Finally, respondent contends (Br. in Opp. 20) that this case would constitute a poor vehicle for resolv- ing the question presented because the government did not seek review on the "closely related" question whether the 60-day time limit for filing a VEOA com plaint (with the Secretary of Labor) is also subject to equitable tolling. The time limit for filing a VEOA com plaint, however, is worded in less emphatic terms than the time limit for filing a VEOA appeal. See 5 U.S.C. 3330a(a)(2)(A) (providing that a VEOA complaint "must be filed within 60 days after the date of the alleged viola tion"). Respondent hints, but stops short of affirma tively arguing (Br. in Opp. 20), that the VEOA time lim its are "jurisdictional" for purposes of the rule that an Article III court must consider questions of its own ju risdiction at the threshold. See Steel Co. v. Citizens for a Better Env't, 523 U.S. 83, 95 (1998). Even if that were true, however, there is no reason that this Court would have to consider the question whether equitable tolling is available for the filing of a VEOA complaint before the question whether it is available for the filing of a VEOA appeal. See Ruhrgas AG v. Marathon Oil Co., 526 U.S. 574, 584 (1999) (explaining that, "[w]hile * * * subject- matter jurisdiction necessarily precedes a ruling on the merits, the same principle does not dictate a sequencing of jurisdictional issues"). It is thus unnecessary for this Court to consider both questions in one case. And no such issue would arise if the Court were simply to vacate and remand in light of its intervening decision in Bowles.
* * * * *
For the foregoing reasons and those stated in the petition, the petition for a writ of certiorari should be granted, the judgment of the court of appeals vacated, and the case remanded for further consideration in light of Bowles v. Russell, 127 S. Ct. 2360 (2007). In the alter native, the petition should be granted and the case set for briefing and oral argument.
Respectfully submitted.
Solicitor General
1 Respondent contends (Br. in Opp. 16) that the time limit at issue in this case is not an "appellate" time limit, because the MSPB does not directly review the underlying decision of the Secretary of Labor. That time limit, however, is "appellate" in the relevant sense, because it governs the transfer of a case from one tribunal to another-i.e., from the Secretary to the MSPB. Notably, the statute establishing the time limit repeatedly characterizes the action before the MSPB as an "appeal." See, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 3330a(d)(1) and (d)(2).
2 While a majority of the en banc court of appeals held that a USERRA
complainant is entitled to a hearing as a matter of right, a different majority
held that the source of that right was an MSPB regulation (which the MSPB
could presumably decide to amend). See Pet. App. 23a-28a (plurality opinion);
id. at 58a-62a (Moore, J., concurring in the result in relevant part); id.
at 63a-80a (Bryson, J., dissenting).

Over the past week or so there have been cheap hits, bad hits, and dirty hits. The NHL Playoffs have become a who next tournament, and no matter what the NHL does they can't win. The league has created this mess, and they are not willing or able to fix the problem.
In light of the probable Matt Cooke suspension, and Brent Seabrook already being suspended; let's try and figure this out for the NHL. There may only be one way for the NHL to regain control of their game, and that may be a hard-line on suspensions. If you make contact with a player's head,or any other kind of dirty/illegal hit and receive a penalty you are suspended for no less than 5 games. The suspensions would escalate for subsequent hits.
Suspension Table for Illegal Hits (Includes fine, determined by the NHL)
- 1st. time: No less than 5 games
- 2nd time: No less than 10 games
- 3rd time: No less than 20 games
- 4th time: Done for the season ( Does not matter how long between hits)
Granted this would take some input by the NHLPA and the players are likely to accept it without putting up some kind of a fight, but it's because of their reckless play and the NHL's front offices inability to manage the situation that we need something like this. In real life if you get into a car accident and cause an injury you are held responsible, the same thing should be taken into account in the NHL.
I am completely agents sitting players for the duration of the injury they caused, because it would allow teams to manipulate the situation, but if a player has a knee injury or head injury or any injury it should add 3 games to the already slotted suspension length.
The only thing players understand is money. It's become clear that players no long care about their NHLPA members and those players have no regard for safety. It has also become clear that the NHL has no clue what they are doing. But, there is a problem, and it's up to the league to fix it. No matter what they are going to anger someone, but it won't be worse than the mess they have created.

Albert Carrington (January 8, 1813 – September 19, 1889) born in Royalton, Vermont, was an apostle and member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and First Presidency in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He was ordained as an apostle on July 3, 1870.
Carrington served in the Utah Territorial Legislature in 1869. He was excommunicated from the LDS Church on November 7, 1885 for adultery and fornication, but was rebaptized on November 1, 1887. Upon his rebaptism, he was not reinstated as an apostle or as a general authority. Carrington was the tenth official Church Historian of the LDS Church between 1871 and 1874.
Carrington was the editor of the LDS Church-owned Deseret News from 1854 to 1856 and again from 1862 until 1867.
Carrington died at Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, at age 76. He was buried at Salt Lake City Cemetery.

Apple Share Prices Fall After Wells Fargo Downgrades Its Rating [Report]
Apple's shares closed at 1.4 percent lower for Tuesday's trading — ending the day at $553.13.
The reason in a nutshell: that Wells Fargo changed its rating for Apple from "outperform" to "market perform". While this downgrade wasn't accompanied by a change in valuation (which remains in the $536 to $581 range) the rating essentially shifts recommendation away from "buy" to "neutral" (which actually means "sell").

Yeah. Camino has it too, and it's the main reason I've been using it instead of Safari. I must have at least a dozen of them hooked up - they're so useful.

There is another similar utility called SafariKeywords that does the same thing, except uses the Google search bar instead of the address bar. To me, this makes sense: address bar for addresses, search bar for searches. And if you don't include a keyword, it still defaults to Google.

Kirsten Dunst Thinks Writers Should Not Be Heard
Maybe Kirsten Dunst really was in rehab solely to deal with personality disorders.
She seems to be a little insecure.
Digital Spy reports that the chronically thin and boy-hungry actress had the author of the 2001 book How to Lose Friends and Alienate People kicked off the set of his own movie.
"[Dunst] overheard me giving the producer a 'note' on her performance in a particular scene," reveals writer Toby Young. "It was after this, apparently, that she took [director Bob Weide] to one side and asked if I could be kept at arm's length in future."
To be fair to Kirsten, this guy is an expert at alienating people. He wrote the book on the subject.

Okay no. Fucking no. You think your sandwich is cute with peanut butter and jelly hearts, fucker? Well you'll change your mind once you put it together and try to eat it. First you'll get a mouthful of just bread and disappointment, then when you take another bite your mouth will be assaulted by copious the amounts of sticky peanut butter and sugary jelly and there won't be enough bread to save you from it. A sandwich like that is what failure tastes like. The pb and j may be shaped like hearts but there's no love in that sandwich. It's about balance. Life needs balance, and so does your fucking sandwich. You disgust me. Don't talk to me until you know how to make a proper sandwich.

Edna Ferber, one of the brightest lights in the New York 'Bloomsbury Group' of the twenties and thirties had a penchant for wearing elegantly tailored suits, trousers and all. Noel Coward met her one day in New York when he was wearing a suit very similar to the one Miss Ferber was sporting.
'Edna, you look almost like a man,' he told her. 'So do you,' she answered.
George Bernard Shaw telegrammed Winston Churchill just prior to the opening of Major Barbara: "Have reserved two tickets for first night. Come and bring a friend if you have one."
Churchill wired back, "Impossible to come to first night. Will come to second night, if you have one."

Wire, Change Becomes Us
"Like nearly everything about this long-running musical project (one hesitates to call it a band), the title of Wire's new album is simultaneously cheeky and flatly informative. Thirty-plus years into an assault on pop conventions, amid multiple sabbaticals and lineup fluctuations, these Class of '77 standouts have perfected a peculiar logic that alternately captivates and infuriates followers, to the point where it's anybody's guess whether the current incarnation featuring touring guitarist Matt Simms is Wire Mark III or IV (or V). And if original guitarist Bruce Gilbert's 2008 "withdrawal" (to use the outfit's unique terminology) had seemed an irreparable disruption, such was the nature of things: Drummer Robert Grey had similarly removed himself at the peak of Wire's electronica flirtation, only to return after his compatriots switched off the drum machines…."
From my review of Wire's new album Change Becomes Us, featured this week in SPIN. You can check out the article here —

March 12th, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | No comments
Did you know that Garbstore is getting their own Reebok Insta Pump Fury this year? That shouldn't come as a huge surprise given how many outside entities are chipping in on that classic Vector Brand silhouette this year. Unfortunately we haven't seen them just yet, but until then the other "Experimental Colour Transmission" releases should whet your appetite. Get familiar with the Reebok CL 6000 from the set after the break and then find your pair today at Reebok Certified Network accounts like CNCPTS.

The Journey - March 28, 2013
Check Your Heart | 2 Samuel 11:2-3
2 Samuel 11:2-3
One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her.
What Eve did in the Garden and Achan did in Jericho, David did in Jerusalem. Like a lamb going to slaughter, he followed the three-part pattern of temptation—he saw, he wanted, and he took. While each part of temptation is luring, it's the sum of the three that equals sin. And sin—even forgiven sin—always carries consequences.
After that night with Bathsheba, things were never the same. David's son, Absalom, killed another son, Amnon. Absalom conspired to take the throne from his father and David had to run for his life. While he was gone, Absalom had sexual liaisons on the roof of the palace for all to see. Finally Absalom was killed in battle. And, certainly, damage was done to David's reputation. As one has said, "The beard of reputation once shorn is hard to grow back."
Ask God to check your heart. Examine your sexual temptations that lead to the sins of lust, pornography, and adultery. Examine your materialistic tendencies that lead to the sins of greed and avarice. Examine your areas of personal pride that always go before a fall. Each part of temptation is dangerous enough. Don't let them add up to sin.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. In Jesus' name, Amen.

From the café racer styling to the air-cooled India-built single-cylinder engine, the Enfield clubman is soaked with nostalgia. Even the addition of modern-day fuel injection, front disc brake and the new 5-speed unit construction engine fails to dent the projected image of an era where 'ton-up' street racing and smoky milk bars were the norm. For a slice of classic ...
125cc, 15bhp, 73mph, Insurance group 5
Rieju's new Marathon 125 supermoto is powered by the same engine you'll find in Yamaha's YZF-R125 and WR125 range, albeit fitted with a 30mm Keihin carb instead of fuel injection. Costing £3199 this Spanish-made machine is actually £400 cheaper than Yamaha's own WR125X supermoto.
124cc, 14.7bhp, 55mph, Insurance group
Hybrid technology has finally reached motorcycles – the MP3 Hybrid has an electric motor that can assist the petrol engine or run as a standalone engine. But sadly it's not quite ready to provide a viable alternative yet – price is expected to be high and the electric assistance isn't good enough. Doubt has been cast over the green credentials ...

Peugeot's luxury-learner scooter is an ideal tool for the well-heeled provisional licence holder – it's well-equipped, nicely made and rides well. It's not so good out of town, but then few 125s are really.
124cc, 12.8bhp, 63mph, Insurance group
The Suzuki Sixteen 125 is aimed at trendy teens looking for stylish transport (hence the name – continental teenagers can ride one from age 16), but the UK scooter market is different – it fits with a more mature rider, especially given the sombre colours. It's not exciting, but it does a job.
244cc, 22bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 7
The Piaggio X7 250 ie is halfway between a full-on maxi scooter and a lightweight city scooter, so in theory should offer comfort and a bit of class with some traffic busting ability. It manages it too – it feels substantial and quality but slices traffic like a 50cc scooter.
744cc, 48bhp, 120mph, Insurance group 14
The new Moto Guzzi Café Classic is a café racer version of the V7 Classic retro roadster warmly received last year. Powered by Guzzi's small block 750 Nevada V-twin powertrain in an old school twin shock chassis, it's a dinky, cute runaround and almost embarassingly toy-like for anyone over 5'10". But what makes it great is how beautifully and classily ...

Apart from the tinny two-stroke noise coming out the back of the SX125 and RX125 the new learner strokers could pass for a bigger supermoto. But get on board and you'll find that the power and handling simply doesn't match up to the looks.

The Yamaha XT660Z Tenere is a great value, superbly capable adventure bke with real off road capability.

June has arrived and the Buffalo Sabres are within one month of finding out who will join the current list of high draft picks that General Manager Tim Murray will be adding to in the draft.
Can and will Tim Murray solely use the draft to rebuild this franchise into something more than what it has been in recent years? Right now he is working with what he has. [National Post].
The Buffalo Sabres released an infograph on the "plan" and it basically highlighted draft picks that the team has used in recent off seasons, and what resources the team has in up coming drafts.
But the Buffalo Sabres don't want you to think that their second overall draft pick this year is going to be crowned the savior that will pull the team out of the dungeons. Tim Murray wants you to remember guys like Ryan Miller, Niklas Hjalmarsson, and Henrik Lundqvist were all selected in the later rounds of the draft. Don't lose hope after the first round. Who knows who the Buffalo Sabres can uncover.
The Buffalo Sabres are going to take the best available player with the second overall pick when they approach the podium for the first time later this month. [Buffalo News].
Does this mean we should be prepared to have Aaron Ekblad in the organization? Tim Murray doesn't think that Ekblad is a franchise player, but after the combine he could be the player that is left standing for the Buffalo Sabres to select. But with the second overall pick in the draft, and three top prospects to choose from, it doesn't have to be Ekblad. With Rasmus Ristolainen and Nikita Zadarov – and several other defensive options already in the mix, the Buffalo Sabres should only be thinking Sam for the upcoming draft.
Injury and rumor surrounding Chris Stewart the minute he arrived in Buffalo – but the forward wants to stay and help. But ask Matt Moulson and that doesn't necessarily guarantee you a spot in the franchise for long. [Sports Media 101].
Tim Murray proved last season that he doesn't like to have expiring contracts of big name players that he can move to make a difference while rebuilding a franchise. Unfortunately for Stewart he is on an expiring contract. That is good news for the Buffalo Sabres. One of two things can happen for Stewart in a contract year for him. The Buffalo Sabres will likely see his play elevate as he plays for his next contract. That means the Sabres will be able to see that they can build around the former St. Louis Blue – or his trade value will increase and he will be sent to a contender near the deadline for more moving parts as the Buffalo Sabres seek to get better.
The Chicago Blackhawks face another elimination game today, the only difference today is the light at the end of the tunnel is at its brightest, and the Los Angeles Kings find themselves up against the elimination ropes as well. Either way, tonight we will have the final matchup and the best of seven series will be set to see who will battle the New York Rangers for the right to be called Champions.

Building A Business Case For Unified Communications
The hype surrounding any emerging technology often shrouds the private sector with mixed feelings, as decision-makers try to decipher whether new offerings will enhance operations, hinder productivity or introduce some bizarre mixture of the two.
Instant Cashflow Improvement and Rapid ROI with Unified Communications
The up-and-down economy of the past several years has highlighted the need to operate more effi ciently and cut costs wherever possible. In most situations, these two notions would seem contradictory, but a number of emerging technologies - cloud computing, virtualization and the bring-your-own-device movement among them - are helping companies accomplish these goals.
The Top Four Pitfalls of Unified Communications
Today's enterprise needs to be agile if decision-makers wish to remain competitive and relevant in the eyes of consumers. As more companies and customers around the world begin leveraging innovative devices like smartphones, tablets and next-generation laptops, the need to deploy unified communications grows alongside it. Neglecting to implement the technology may result in dire consequences that could spell the end of an organization.

KAKU watch uses Kanji strokes to tell timeJanuary 9th, 2013
Design submitted by Sam from Germany
Sam says: KAKU is a 12-5-9 concept that uses kanji with different stroke counts instead of numbers. The inspiration came when looking up a kanji in a dictionary. The kanji were sorted by components, reading and also the amount of stokes, that are required to write them.

Great jackets – we got them: Fall 2014 outerwear focus
There's a bunch of reasons to appreciate fall. One might be the crisp air, but our favorite reason is outerwear. Light and heavy jackets, parkas, duffels and leather jackets. Our range of jackets is more promising than ever. It's not our fault that the temperature is dropping, but we do have the best cure for it. We love the season, and you should too. Check out our jackets.
Fashion and function reign supreme
After lots of research and digging we constructed the Karl Parka. A functional jacket packed with smart details. The inspiration was of course the classic M1948, fishtail parka.BUY
Post-war favorite of intellectuals
The duffel coat is rich with heritage and it's been around since the early 1900's. Our take on this classic is a tad shorter, we've improved the hood but kept the toggles.BUY
