Common Core debate fires up crowd
She accused them of attempting to deny local control to school districts that have been putting the standards in place for the past four years. "Asking for laws that prevent implementation flies in the face of local control," she said.
The large hearing room in the Legislative Office Building was filled, with some of the 60 to 70 people lining the walls, as speakers took turns deriding or supporting two bills.
Speakers focused on the technical arguments for and against the standards, and the concerns about protecting the privacy of students who take the tests.
Supporters argued that the standards were well-vetted and supported by the majority of professional organizations representing teachers and school boards in the country.
Representatives of the Business and Industry Association and the New Hampshire Coalition for Business and Education spoke in support of the standards, as did all of the school superintendents who testified.
State Rep. Lenette Peterson, R-Merrimack, gave an example of how a math question would be handled by Common Core: Mrs. Jones had 18 students and she wanted each of them to become a number so that the room would equal 90.
State Rep. Chris Muns, D-Hampton, who also serves as chairman of the Winnacunnet School Board, testified that the new standards are needed to keep America competitive in the global economy.

HOWEVER. I think they should keep dodge because it gives you the uncertain factor that real battle gives you. Sometimes in battle when you attack, you miss. It's like backstabbing in starcraft where it is actually exciting to think that not all games will come out as you think they would, which Starcraft 2 has mostly taken out to the dismay of many starcraft broodwar players (not to mention their custom games atm really stunk). I think they should just lower the maximum dodge ratio but keep dodging. Jax without dodging is.....just not jax. He was always jax due to the dodge factor. Not to mention all the skins that gave him actual weapons when he's suppose to be a champion that was known to not use a weapon.........

This is my Grandmas recipe. We would so look forward to Christmas morning when she would make these. There were 5 children and 8 adults, so she would truly have her job cut out for her! They are very thin and tender, we would always clamor for more, poor woman! No wonder she only made them once a year!

Taking a tour of a celebrity home is always a fascinating experience. Christina Aguilera's mansion was a Mediterranean-style house decorated with brightly colored and full of crazy prints. Meanwhile, Ricky Martin's humble abode is also a gorgeous Mediterranean-style mansion but that's about the only thing the two Latino superstars have in common.
Ricky's Miami Beach mansion has reportedly just sold for $10.6 million after five years on the market, according to real estate website Zillow.com. I don't know why it took so long, though, since the house is absolutely gorgeous. The star of Broadway's Evita clearly has great taste in home décor. Take a stroll through his house and look for yourself.

Everything else on the grill will pale in comparison to these Asian-infused, sweet-yet-savory patties.
Add Eastern flair to your backyard barbecue sessions this summer with these Spicy Korean Burgers by The Sexy Vegan blogger and cookbook author, Brian Patton. Asian pear, kimchi, and Worchestershire sauce create a tasty amalgamation of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors that will surely have you coming back for seconds, or even thirds.
Makes 4 burgers
What You Need:
1/2 cup tamari
1 cup vegetable stock
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon vegan Worchestershire sauce
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
2 portobello mushrooms, de-stemmed and cleaned
1 cup frozen edamame, thawed and drained
1 flax egg (see Egg Exchange, below)
1 tablespoon mushroom powder (see Mushroom Magic, below)
1-1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
Olive oil, for brushing
1 cup vegan mayo
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons gochujang (Available at Asian food markets)
4 sesame seed buns
1-1/2 cups kimchi, drained and sliced
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 Asian pear, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
What You Do:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together tamari, stock, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, sesame oil, liquid smoke, Worchestershire sauce, ginger, garlic, and onion. In a casserole dish, place mushrooms gill-side up, then pour tamari mixture over mushrooms. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. While mushrooms are cooking, in a food processor, add edamame and pulse until chopped into small pieces. Place into a mixing bowl and set aside.
2. When the mushrooms are done, uncover, and let cool. Remove mushrooms from liquid and roughly chop them. Strain ginger, garlic, and onions from cooking liquid. Reserve ginger, garlic, onions, and liquid.
3. In a food processor, add mushrooms, ginger, garlic, and onions and combine well. Add mushroom mixture to chopped edamame, then fold in flax egg, mushroom powder, and breadcrumbs. Mix well to combine. If mixture is sticky, add 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs at a time until mixture isn't sticky.
4. Divide mixture into 4 patties. Roll into a ball, then flatten into 1/2-inch thick patty. Brush tops with olive oil and bake for 30 minutes. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add reserved braising liquid and bring to a simmer until liquid is reduced by half, resulting in 3/4 cup liquid glaze. Whisk in 1/4 cup brown sugar and simmer until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool. In a small bowl, add mayo and gochujang and whisk together until combined.
5. Remove patties from oven and let cool slightly. Brush one side of patty with brown-sugar glaze. In a well-oiled grill or grill pan, over medium-high heat, place patty glaze-side down. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes, brushing top with glaze, then flip burger and grill for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Brush top of burger with more glaze.
6. Toast sesame seed buns and slather both halves of bun with mayo. Place patty on bottom bun and top with 1/4 cup kimchi, 1/4 cup lettuce, 3 pear slices, and top bun. Serve warm.
Mushroom Magic
Mushroom powder adds an extra umami flavor to this burger. Purchase dried mushrooms (we recommend shiitake or porcini), and grind them into a powder with a blender or spice grinder. Many soups, sauces, stews, and burgers benefit from the addition of mushroom powder.
Egg Exchange
To make a flax egg, in a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds and 3 tablespoons water and whisk together until combined. Place in refrigerator for 15 minutes before using.
Super Sides
Try serving these sophisticated burgers with these Crispy Yucca Tots or the Grilled Jicama Fries with Mango Mayonnaise found in our July+August 2013 Issue.

A Douglas County judge has ruled that there is enough evidence for a murder case to go to trial. Absalom Scott and Jacquez Clifton both face First Degree Murder and Felony Weapon Charges related to the death of Frank Sanders.
Sanders was shot to death in his apartment at 33rd and Howard.
Three men, Scott, Clifton and Rico Larry, were all allegedly in the home when the gun went off.
On Monday, homicide detective Ryan Davis testified about his interviews with the men. He said all three told him they went to the home to buy marijuana from Sanders and that he was shot in his bedroom. But that's about all they could agree on.
Detective Davis said it's unclear based on his interviews with the men, who was in the bedroom when Sanders was shot. All three of them have pointed fingers at each other.
Davis testified that one of the men told him Clifton was talking about wanting to commit a robbery. He also mentioned wanting to buy marijuana. It was then that they went to Sanders home.
Davis said a witness he interviewed who was at the home during the shooting said she recognized the men and thought they were just there to buy drugs. A few minutes later she heard a struggle in the bedroom and a gunshot. She then allegedly saw Sanders run from the bedroom and collapse in the hallway.
According to Davis, the men all say they ran from the house at that point and drove away from the scene together. Davis also said one of the men told him Clifton was threatening them about talking to police.
Larry, who is currently facing accessory charges, also allegedly told Davis that he saw a gun in Clifton's waistband when he was dropped off at home and that Clifton told him he would have shot more if the gun hadn't jammed. Police say they never found the weapon.
Most of the debate Monday focused on one comment about Clifton wanting to commit a robbery.
Prosecutors say that because there were only small amounts of marijuana and no cash in the home, this must have been a robbery, and therefore there was a case for possible First Degree Murder.
Judge Harmon agreed with prosecutors that even though most of the evidence is circumstantial, there is enough there for trial.

HoopsHype Kyle O'Quinn rumors
Brian Schmitz: Magic C-PF Kyle O'Quinn (ankle) will not play Sunday in Brooklyn. Twitter @MagicInsider
Mary Stevens: Kyle O'Quinn will be out against the Nets. He will not travel with the team initially. Twitter @marypazstevens
Josh Robbins: The #Magic are listing Kyle O'Quinn (sprained left ankle) as out for tonight's game in Philly. O'Quinn's absence will hurt on the 2nd night of a back-to-back after Vucevic played 40 minutes and Frye played 36 on Tues. Twitter @JoshuaBRobbins
Josh Robbins: Channing Frye will be made active tonight, while Kyle O'Quinn (ankle) will shift to the inactive list. Twitter @JoshuaBRobbins
Still, if O'Quinn can add a long-range shot to his arsenal, it would have a beneficial impact for the Magic — and for O'Quinn. "It could open up a lot of things," O'Quinn said. "Number one, me and Vooch [center Nik Vucevic] might see more minutes together. We won't just clog the paint. He's a better finisher in the paint, a better post-up player. So if we let him have the paint, it's probably to our advantage. And it may give me a couple more minutes because I'm not sitting on top of him, crowding his space. So I could space out, I guess, and help out the spacing of the team." The Magic recognize the value of a stretch 4. Orlando Sentinel
John Denton: #Magic C Kyle O'Quinn will remain inactive tonight after his recovering sprained ankle did not respond to a workout before the game. Twitter @JohnDenton555
Reserve Magic big man Kyle O'Quinn injured his right ankle during Wednesday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks and sat out practice Thursday and today. He might not play when the Magic host the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. O'Quinn's injury occurred with 2:01 remaining in Wednesday's third quarter. Orlando Sentinel
The Orlando Magic have signed rookie forward Kyle O'Quinn, General Manager Rob Hennigan announced today. Per team policy, terms of the deal are not disclosed. NBA.com
The Magic and O'Quinn agreed to a three-year contract that the team is expected to announce Thursday. "It's pretty emotional," O'Quinn told the Orlando Sentinel on Wednesday night. "It's kind of like the final stage to all the work you've put in. It's another big day." The contract is guaranteed for the first season at $788,000, said O'Quinn's agent, Alberto Ebanks. The Magic will hold team options for the second and third seasons, and if the team exercises both options, the contract will be worth a total of $2.5 million. Orlando Sentinel
It is one of the great rags-to-riches New York stories. Four years ago Kyle O'Quinn was graduating from Campus Magnet High in Queens with only one scholarship offer. On Wednesday night he signed a three-year, $2.5 million contract to play for the Orlando Magic of the NBA. "He couldn't be more excited," said Alberto Ebanks, his agent. "This is him fulfilling his dream, a dream a lot of people probably never envisioned." New York Daily News

Forsyth Tech plans 'Back to Work' info sessions

Forsyth Technical Community College is planning several information sessions in December, January and February for its "Back to Work" programs.
Those classes are short-term training programs specifically designed for unemployed North Carolinians looking to move into in-demand careers such as electronic health records specialists, electrical linemen, facility maintenance technicians and welders. Residents who qualify for the programs receive the training at no cost through a state grant.
There are additional training opportunities specifically targeting unemployed veterans and N.C. National Guardsmen for positions such as emergency medical technicians, firefighters and pharmacy assistants. Many programs will start in January, with others getting underway in February and March.
Information sessions about the Back to Work programs last 90 minutes and are free and open to the public. Schedule information is online or available by calling (336) 734-7430.
This is the second year Forsyth Tech received funding for its Back to Work program. In the 2012-13 school year, the college accepted 154 students into the program and 138 completed their training, for a completion rate around 90 percent. The first year of the grant required the school to focus on students from Forsyth and Stokes counties, but the current grant opens participation to residents of any North Carolina county.

"1000 Oceans" is a song by Tori Amos, released as the second single from her 1999 album To Venus and Back. It reached number twenty-two on the Hot 100 Singles Sales, though it did not chart on the Hot 100. The song deals with issues of love and loss, and is based on the singer's personal experiences. It was released on September 7, 1999, and was generally well received by critics.
"4, 5, 6" was the first single released from Solé's debut album, Skin Deep. It was produced by Christopher "Tricky" Stewart and featured a guest verse from JT Money and a chorus by Kandi. This was Solé's second collaboration with JT Money and Stewart, as the three had worked together on JT Money's hit single "Who Dat" the previous year
"747" is a Swedish-language song by rock band Kent, written by Joakim Berg. It's the final song on their album Isola and was released as third single in 1998 with B-sides "Din skugga" and "Elever". It's been recorded both with Swedish and English lyrics. It quickly became a fan favorite, and for eight years, the band always ended their concerts with it.
"A" is Ayumi Hamasaki's tenth single, released on August 11, 1999. Hamasaki's best-selling single as well Japan's 57th best-selling single of all time, "A," is unique among Hamasaki's singles, as it is her only single with quadruple A-sides. However, the Recording Industry Association of Japan claimed that "A" is not a single but an album.
"A Country Boy Can Survive" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Hank Williams, Jr. The song was released as a single in January 1982 and reached a peak of number 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles charts in March 1982.

Location, hotel terrace has a beautiful view.
I had a smoke filled room upon arrival. Desk staff said there was not a room they could move me to unless I was willing to pay more and that they couldn't control if guests smoked; had to sleep with the window open all night and my coat on in Nov. While using my bathroom I heard a crash, the window treatment broke and had fallen to the floor. Would not stay here again, ever.
Gracious service, local (non-tourist) restaurant recommendations, advice on best times for site-seeing, nice room, fantastic roof-top patio, excellent breakfast, perfect location, lovely and appropriate decor, comfortable lounge/bar space to entertain visitors at hotel, excellent value
The location of this hotel couldn't be better, just a short stroll to Ponte Vecchia or across the river into Oltrano. The little garden terrace is perfect for sitting in the sun, looking over the rooftops with a coffee, or even better, with a cocktail!
The first person that greeted me was Gino at check in. He welcomed me and my Italian Greyhound with open arms. He even walked me over to the ATM so I could pay the taxi driver. This hotel felt like coming home. The breakfast was delicious - I did not want to leave. My little dog was also welcomed and that was the best!
Great location, walkable to all, hearty breakfast and a great sleeping mattress in the generous room
Can get noisy at night so we had to close the windows and lost the comfortable breeze. The shower was plenty big but we had to put soap and shampoo on floor and keep bending down
The staff are very friendly and helpful, and a cup of coffee on the roof top looking out to the Tuscan Hill was very relaxing. The bed was very comfortable and the location of the hotel is very close to everything in town.
It was almost impossible to connect to the Hotel wifi and the room on the first floor was very noisy from the restaurant beneath it. Second hand smoking is constant if you leave the window open. If not, you are suffocated as there is no other source of air coming to the room.
Everything, especially the friendly stafg.
The bed seems a bit hard and old
Location, staff, ambiance.
Some loud guests
This hotel was in a great location and the value for the price was excellent
The location was excelent
The bedroom was a bit uncomfortable. They were old and poorly lit up. The bathrooms needed re-doing and the shower didnt work properly.
The staff was terrific especially the concierge on the day shift. It was a wonderful experince
Good location on a quiet street in easy walking distance of all the main sights of Florence. The hotel is well staffed and all the staff are very pleasant and helpful. Public rooms are beautifully furnished and comfortable. An added bonus is the roof terrace where it is lovely to sit with a drink in the early evening. Breakfast is buffet style with all the choice you could wish for. We were there for a week and our rooms were cleaned and serviced with fresh bed linen and towels every day.
the food and the rooftop garden locations is great.
furniture and carpet are too old.
Quaint converted from a 16th century town palace Excellent Very Central location Florence's equivalent of "Bond Street" Roof terrace was a lovely place for pre-dinner drinks
Laberinthine corridors and stairs. 3 buildings roughly merged together. Route to room was up to 4th floor by lift along corridors up and down short runs of stairs and then down stairs to 3rd floor. Help with luggage required. Not good for anyone with old legs and creaky joints. Room was in need of some basic maintenance, but clean and characterful.
Everybody very helpful. Very clean room!!!!! Slept like a baby - windows are keeping the noise out pretty well.
Beautiful hotel. Very helpful staff.
No coffee/ tea in the rooms
We liked the location - 10 minutes walk to the centre. In a really nice shopping area. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Lovely roof terrace and the bar menu food was great. The staff picked up very quickly on your preferences.
Not to do with the hotel, but a saxophonist outside played the same music repeatedly until late. Which was annoying. It would also have been helpful to have an information folder in the room to give numbers/bar menu/room service times etc. My sister appreciated that you can smoke on the roof terrace.
Amazing rooms, roof garden and very close to all tourist locations in mid of the city
Stylish hotel in a perfect location. Very friendly, service-oriented staff. Clean, good-sized room and bathroom. Great view from rooftop terrace bar.
We had 2 bathrooms in our room it was fabulous. The air conditioning worked perfect, and the breakfast was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful!
If I had to pick one thing and it really is expected in a City hotel, we heard a lot of street noise at night and in the morning from our window even though they wer shut.
The staff was very friendly and helpful with dinner reservations. Beautiful old hotel with lots of unusual little nooks for relaxing. A bit expensive but it is right down town within walking distance of everything.
Can't think of anything negative about this hotel.
decoration, location, breakfast, wi-fi, rooftop garden
Anticipation of staying in a well-placed hotel with charming decoration and a leafy breakfast terrace. Booked 2 months in advance.
Being told on arrival that there had been a booking muddle and they no longer had 3 rooms for us. Polite staff but not good enough to be offered tiny rooms instead at a very average (although 4 star) hotel near bye.
Being offered a junior suite at £300 per night with no comfortable chairs. To be fair this was rectified when I complained but only possible because there was another (slightly better) suite available. The breakfast room on the second floor would not have been out of place in a Travel Lodge. Our toilet was stained. The staff were snooty and unfriendly and the experience was altogether negative.
The location was suburb, the staff was helpful and welcoming
The room was tiny, and there was noise from the court yard, next time I'm going to go for a bigger room

"Do you think that TV show even thought twice before using our band's name for their show?" Owens posted. "I'll bet they were just like 'fuck it, fuck them.'"Owens's rant rolls on the premise that his band Girls have been around for long enough that they've left an imprint on the cultural landscape, meaning that Girls (the TV show) is either capitalizing on his namebrand, or will end up usurping his band's cred. Girls formed in 2007, with their self-titled debut disc arriving in 2009.He also claims that the heads at HBO clearly don't care about his group enough to have considered the precarious position they've put him in. And, well, fair enough."Its a bit sucky to be informed by a giant company like HBO that you don't matter enough culturally to not have your name taken away or used," he said. While Owens did admit that "Girls is obviously a word that cannot be owned by anyone," he added that "anyone that really respected us wouldn't have used it."Owens also joked that he should undergo similar tactics, writing "I've got an idea, let's start a band and call it The Simpsons."Thanks to Hipster Runoff for the tip.

"All we see of someone at any moment is a snapshot of their life, there in riches or poverty, in joy or despair. Snapshots don't show the million decisions that led to that moment."
"We can't leave people in abject poverty, so we need to raise the standard of living for 80% of the world's people, while bringing it down considerably for the 20% who are destroying our natural resources."
"Heroism is the brilliant triumph of the soul over the flesh, that is to say over fear: fear of poverty, of suffering, of calumny, of illness, of loneliness and of death. There is no real piety without heroism. Heroism is the dazzling and glorious con"
"Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty: permit the distinctive sign of our order to be that it does not possess anything of its own beneath the sun, for the glory of your name, and that it have no other patrimony than begging."
"If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches"

On Wednesday, we looked at five groups of people who want New York City mayoral candidate Anthony "Carlos Danger" Weiner to stay in the race. We forgot one big constituency all-but-begging Weiner to hang in there: Late-night comedians. (Jay Leno pleaded with Weiner to not only stay in the race, but win — watch above.)
Combine the last name Weiner and self-taken photos of a penis sent to strange women, and the jokes almost literally write themselves. The late-night comedians almost all point this out. And they uniformly love Weiner's "Carlos Danger" sexting alias on Yahoo. USA Today helpfully rounds up the jokes from Tuesday night's broadcasts (watch above) of Jay Leno, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, and Craig Ferguson's shows.
Due to their early taping schedules, however — or, in Jimmy Fallon's case, the birth of his first child — some of the late-night shows deferred their Weiner-skewering until Wednesday night. With a whole day to work on their material, these shows are generally a little more elaborate, if not always more clever, in their takedowns of the man who is still, as of Wednesday, the leading candidate in New York City's mayoral race.
At The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert works his Weiner bit into his introductory desk chat. On Tuesday, Colbert starts out, "the thinkable happened."
Colbert is brutal, and brutally funny. In a second segment, he imagines life in New York under Mayor Carlos Danger:
Fallon, at NBC's Late Night, also addresses Weinergate Part II in his opening monologue, after announcing the birth of his son and poking a little fun at Honey Boo-Boo (the Weiner part starts at the 0:36 second mark):
John Oliver at The Daily Show promised on Tuesday's show that he would go all-in on Weiner the next night — and he delivered. The whole first half of the show is dedicated to sticking a fork in Carlos Danger — an awesome pseudonym that sounds like a "Bolivian action hero-slash-porn star" — for dragging us through a scandal so shocking... and so predictable. Oliver's takedown comes in two parts:
Part I: "Welcome Back, Cocker" — or the Why Weiner's Funny segment:
Part II: "Despicable Wein 2" — or the Why Weiner Matters (with penis props) segment:
In the grand late-night Weiner roast, Colbert wins, right?

Jakob Fahr commented on "iNaturalist on EOL":
@Scott Loarie: Hi Scott & Cyndy, thanks for this, from my side no need to rush as it seems to involve a bunch of issues. First of all, I definitely do not want to get rid of all the taxonomic changes & additions we've added over the last months on iNat, especially as these are nicely referenced and documented. Second, most of the discrepancies stem from different usage/definition of genera, e.g. all African Chalinolobus on EOL should be Glauconycteris (large consensus in the recent taxonomic & phylogenetic literature). On iNat, we're currently sticking to the broadly defined genera Pipistrellus s.l. (rather than split into Pipistrellus s.s., Neoromicia, Hypsugo etc,), and similarly to Tadarida s.l. rather than Tadarida s.s., Chaerephon and Mops since the generic definitions are likely to change in due course (actually working on a revision of a paper....). Third, I'm working on a phylogeny of all African taxa, which is available through the AfriBats Lifedesk site. I could align this taxonomy with iNat's taxonomy, and if the Lifedesk taxonomy gets imported into EOL, set this as the preferred taxonomy for African taxa on EOL. Let me know if this is a sensible approach. Some of the strange taxa that Scott mentioned originate from GenBank where taxa have been submitted with these abbreviations before they were formally described. All in all quite a mess, requiring a lot of cleaning and mapping the synonymies, but I think we shouldn't rush this but come up with a solution that minimizes curatorial work, wherever this is best accomplished.

@Cyndy Parr: Hi guys, the iNat Afribats checklist has 288 sp & spp: http://www.inaturalist.org/lists/57284-AfriBatss-Check-List The EOL Afribats list has 281: http://www.inaturalist.org/lists/86723-AfriBats-EOL-Collections-Check-List We can hook these together, but this means the EOL list will be the master so it will delete these taxa that are only on the iNat list: Asellia italosomalica Coleura kibomalandy Glauconycteris beatrix Glauconycteris variegata Miniopterus aelleni Miniopterus brachytragos Miniopterus egeri Miniopterus mahafaliensis Mormopterus francoismoutoui Myonycteris angolensis Myotis anjouanensis Paratriaenops pauliani Paremballonura atrata Paremballonura tiavato Pipistrellus lanzai Pipistrellus robertsi Pipistrellus roseveari Pteropus seychellensis Rhinolophus cohenae Rhinolophus mabuensis Rhinolophus mossambicus Rhinolophus smithersi Rhinopoma cystops Stenonycteris lanosus Tadarida atsinanana Tadarida bakarii It will also add these which aren't on the iNat list: Chalinolobus beatrix Chalinolobus beatrix humeralis Chalinolobus variegatus Chalinolobus variegatus machadoi Emballonura atrata Emballonura tiavato Eptesicus malagasyensis Miniopterus s Mormopterus s Neoromicia malagasyensis Neoromicia nanus minusculus Neoromicia somalicus ugandae Pipistrellus nanus helios Plerotes anchietai Rhinolophus c Rousettus angolensis Rousettus lanosus Triaenops pauliani Triaenops persicus The upside of this is Jakob can just manage the list on EOL and it will keep the iNat list in sync - the downside is someone adds an observation of something not on the synced list, each night when EOL and iNat sync it will delete the missing taxon from the list and kick any obs attached to that taxon from the project - should we link them? A couple other weird things I noticed, iNat thinks the species names for these Miniopterus s, Mormopterus s & Rhinolophus c are s and c. iNat is currently using Pipistrellus somalicus instead of Neoromicia somalicus, so if you want Neoromicia somalicus ugandae as in the EOL list you should curate those taxa on iNat. Also Myotis welwitschii came through EOL as "myotis welwitschii"

I'm heading out there for training next week and looking for restaurant and brewery info.
I know anchor brewing isn't far away but I don't think I can get over for a tour due to schedule.
I'm taking my wife and son (little over a year old) with me so keep that in mind for atmosphere....doesn't have to be some kids fun land but not a strip club either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Actually you will surprised how far SF is from Pleasanton. Pleasaton is nice but it out in the suburbs of the Bay Area. Here is another thread where someone asked the same question.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthre...ght=pleasanton
as noted in that other thread - the hopyard is good. i've been there a lot over the years for training and other meetings and we always get in a trip to the hopyard. it would be fine to take your kid in there it's not wild or anything.
SF is a good hour away and great if you have the time. numerous beer places over there and of course the anchor brewery.
berkley might be worth looking at too - it's reachable by BART or car and it's nearer than SF, plus it has loads of students and that usually means there's beer to be had...
Sorry all,
I would have never guessed that someone would have asked the same thing regarding pleasanton...I mean what really are the odds.
No need to be sorry as you were assuming correctly. The weather in Pleasanton should be real nice if it isn't raining but ask them to change the training city to Santa Cruz. We are somewhat eccentric bordering on crazy.
If you've never been, you really do need to visit SF. There's a BART Station in Dublin, not far from Pleasanton.
Public transportation works well in the Bay Area. Parking a car doesn't.
Yeah I had two choices for this training.
Pleasanton or Woking, UK....there wasn't a shot in hell of my company sending me to the UK so I'll take what I can get.
The last training I was at was in South Beach, FL....that is one crazy freaking town.
I was there in the off season so it was nice but still a little on the edge.
Is Spiesekammer pretty kid friendly?

Chionodoxa luciliae
Bulbs and bulblike plants, Perennials
Charming little bulbous plants native to alpine meadows of Crete, Cyprus, and Turkey are among the first spring bloomers. Each bulb produces a stem to 6 in. high, with six-pointed, starlike blossoms in blue, white, or pink spaced along the upper part. Straight, narrow leaves are a little shorter than the flower stem. In fall, plant bulbs in rich, well-drained soil, setting them 2–3 in. deep and 3 in. apart. In very hot, dry climates, may need some moisture during summer dormancy. When bloom quality declines, dig and divide clumps in early fall. Plantings may also increase from self-seeding.Chionodoxa luciliae
Native to the eastern Mediterranean. This is the most commonly grown chionodoxa; it is often confused with other species. A 5-in. clump of grassy leaves produces 6-in. stems, each bearing 1 to 4 star-like, 1 1/2-in., violet-blue flowers.

Back in 1976, Heschel wrote a book called "God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism." Even 38 years ago, it seems, the handwriting was on the wall about future generations' lack of enthusiasm for religion, and Heschel's book still speaks volumes.
"It is customary to blame secular science and anti-religious philosophy for the eclipse of religion in modern society," he wrote. "It would be more honest to blame religion for its own defeats. Religion declined not because it was refuted, but because it became irrelevant, dull, oppressive, insipid.
"When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendor of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion – its message becomes meaningless."
Like all human endeavors, religion can become irrelevant, oppressive, insipid and meaningless. The questions is, is it the religion itself – its principles, beliefs and practices – that is the problem or the people at any given time who lead or influence it? They're not the same. Do the doping scandals in major league baseball mean that the sport is bad, or that some people who play it are bad? I believe many people adopt the caricatures of religion to be able to easily knock them down.
Many religions, including my own Catholic faith, believe that the church is human but also divine because God had a hand it its birth. Religion's purpose is to help us in the search for God, and to the extent that we find him/her, help us in our subsequent relationship to God. I believe Catholicism, and most religions, fulfill that function and more.
But how do you, really, search for a being who is invisible and unknowable? And an even harder question, how does he/she search for you? Many people have found the way through religion and religious leaders like Rabbi Heschel.
The title of his book, says the America article, "expresses what is perhaps Rabbi Heschel's most distinctive or signature idea: It is not so much we who seek God, but God who seeks us."
For Heschel, "God is always present to us. But because we are not always, or perhaps even usually present to God, Rabbi Heschel suggests that God must 'reach out' to us (from around us and from within us) to elicit our presence, our responsiveness. We dwell within the sphere of God's presence, yet God must strive to get us to appreciate that presence. God dwells within us, yet God must awaken us to the divine indwelling."
|Pope Frances and Rabbi Skorka
Google Image
Abraham Skorka, the Argentinian rabbi, also wrote a book. His co-author was his friend, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the future Pope Francis. Written in 2010, it is called "On Heaven and Earth," and is a transcription of the conversations about faith, life and the future of religion the two had over an extended period. Bergoglio has suggestions about where to start in the search for God.
"What every person must be told is to look inside himself," Bergoglio wrote. "Distraction is an interior fracture. It will never lead the person to encounter himself for it impedes him from looking into the mirror of his heart. Collecting oneself is the beginning.
"…I would tell the people of today to seek the experience of entering into the intimacy of their hearts, to know the experience, the face of God."
To me, this means that people need to be thoughtful, which I believe may be more difficult than at any time in human history. When have there been more distractions? When have people had "less time" to think? When has there been less support for thoughtfulness?
Returning to the theme of the problem with religion, Rabbi Skorka bemoans the smugness involved in the habit of some religious people who apply dogma to practically any human problem. This is nothing new. To illustrate, he uses the story of Job from the Hebrew Bible.
Job, "a just, upright man, wanted to know why he had lost everything, even his health. His friends told him that God had punished him for his sins." Job is comforted when he has a conversation with God; in other words, when he prays. God doesn't answer Job's many questions, the rabbi says, but "the touch of God's presence stays with him."
Stories from the Bible may seem unlikely to move us. Like all things "religious," the Bible has for many become throwbacks to childhood and childishness. So commonplace, it may have become trite and stereotypical. What could it possibly have to say to us today?
Looking inside oneself, as suggested by the future Pope, is just the beginning. Eventually, the searcher for God must look seriously at what the Bible has to say, and consider other timeless sources, including the experience of generations of religious people and their institutions. To ignore them is to invite aimlessness and continual detours on the path to God.
Like reading a book that has an inviting title and cover but vacuous content, it's hard to be spiritual without religion.

Wash. police: 2 men used fake ax to prank peopleOctober 31, 2013 @ 1:04 pm
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - Police in Vancouver, Wash., arrested two 18-year-old men accused of pretending to attack each other with an ax and then using it to threaten passers-by while videotaping their reactions.
Police spokeswoman Kim Kapp says officers responded to a gas station Wednesday after getting a report from a couple that a man in motorcycle gear wielded an ax at them after attacking someone with the weapon. A similar report had come in the night before
The suspects allegedly told investigators they were "pranking" people with what police describe as a realistic-looking fake ax.
The men _ Pavel Krivov and Petru Tomcac _ were arrested for assault and booked into the Clark County Jail. It wasn't immediately known if either man had an attorney.

Quade Cooper quits the Wallabies?
ESPN Staff
November 19, 2012
Australia's Quade Cooper has reportedly turned his back on the Green and Gold after failing to secure a satisfactory contract © Getty Images
Headline-grabbing fly-half Quade Cooper has reportedly rejected a contract offer from the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) and may now opt for a move overseas or to rugby league.
Channel Nine News are reporting that Cooper has decided to quit Australia after only being offered an incentive-based deal from the ARU that is normally reserved for rookie internationals. The 24-year-old playmaker, fined and threatened with a suspension last month after publically criticising the Wallabies' set-up, signed a new three-year contract with the Reds earlier this season but that deal was dependent on a satisfactory top-up arrangement with the ARU.
Cooper, sidelined for Australia's end of year tour with a knee injury, has previously been linked with a move to rugby league while he has also hinted at a possible move overseas or a boxing career having seen his friend and management company stablemate Sonny Bill Williams opt for a similar career path.
AAP reports that neither the ARU nor the Queensland Rugby Union has been informed of Cooper's intentions although the player's agent, Khoder Nasser, revealed a press conference would take place in Brisbane next week.
Cooper, who has battled back from career-threatening knee injury suffered during last year's Rugby World Cup, reportedly chose not to put pen to paper on an ARU offer earlier this year having already agreed new terms with his Super Rugby employers.
It is understood that the offer was subsequently withdrawn by the ARU following Cooper's controversial outburst in which he labelled the Wallabies' environment as "toxic" and threatened to make himself unavailable for selection.
QRU boss Jim Carmichael commented: "I still genuinely believe he's an important asset to the game moving forward but it's up to Quade and the ARU where they're happy to move on. It's frustrating that's for sure.
"(However) the public genuinely believes in the Reds as a team and as an organisation. Whatever happens with any player I think we're an organisation who is equipped to deal with it."
