Sequim Wolves are 2A state-bound
It didn't happen.
Two days later, with their backs against the proverbial wall, the Wolves found all they needed was a perfect game plan.
A combination of shrewd defensive strategy, resilient defense, patience down the stretch and free throw acumen culminated in a 39-36 win against Steilacoom Friday night in the West Central District consolation championships, earning Sequim at least two more games as they advance to the class 2A state tournament in Yakima this week.
"It was just a great team effort, great execution on our kids' part," Sequim coach Greg Glasser said. "It was ... amazing execution all night long."
Ary Webb led the Wolves with 13 points while Clancy Catelli and John Textor added 11 points each but it was Sequim's determination on the defensive end that held Steilacoom to just two second-quarter points. That gave the Wolves an 18-10 halftime lead and all the advantage they'd need.
"We talked about eight being the magic number," Glasser said, explaining that with that kind of lead Sequim could make Steilacoom work on defense without shooting the ball. Without a shot clock in boys' basketball, the Wolves were able to drain the clock away for much of the second half, then hit eight-of-nine from the free throw line in the fourth quarter when the Sentinels were forced to foul.
Getting that lead was the challenge, however, as Steilacoom features three explosive scorers. That's why Glasser had the defense focus on 6-foot 5-inch Kelvin Penn, 6-foot 4-inch Greg Herd and speedy 5-foot 10-inch Blayne Clanton. And while Penn wound up with 12 points and Herd and Penn with eight points each, the Sentinel stars weren't able to find a rhythm.
"We knew who their offensive threats were," Glasser said. "We tried to make their other guys hurt us."
On offense, Sequim coaches had Wolves post Taylor Thorson handle the ball frequently away from the basket, drawing Penn away from the middle so Thorson's teammates could slash in for points.
On defense, Sequim players doubled down on the Steilacoom forwards, forcing turnovers, bad passes and shots from the Sentinels' less obvious scoring threats.
The plan nearly took a big hit when Sequim point guard Corbin Webb was struck above an eye in the second quarter and didn't return. But Glasser said Reed Omdal, the senior backup point guard, proved his mettle by helping shut down Steilacoom's guards and helping harass Steilacoom posts, particularly Penn.
"It was great mindset, going in for that help (in the post)," Glasser said.
Meanwhile, Textor, Sequim's athletic forward, helped shut down Clanton and Wolf Jeremie Oliver maintained defensive pressure on Herd, forcing the Steilacoom southpaw to his right.
Sequim maintained an eight-point lead through three quarters before Steilacoom closed the gap.
In the fourth quarter, it came down to making free throws and ball handling, and Sequim did just enough to pull out the victory. Catelli, a 6-foot 3-inch junior, made aggressive attacks at the basket and sank a key three-pointer late to boost Sequim's lead.
A Sentinel shot at the buzzer closed the deficit to three, but the game already was decided.
Steilacoom (15-7), the Nisqually League No. 2 seed, looked like it might not need to play in the winner-to-state, loser-out game such as this. But after building a 17-point lead against North Mason on Wednesday, Steilacoom watched an automatic state berth fade in a 55-52 overtime loss.
The Sentinels were seeking their first state berth since 2005-2006.
Sequim advances to their second state tournament in three seasons; the Wolves won the district tournament in 2007 beating Fife and Foster, then went 0-2 at the state tourney in losses to Burlington-Edison and East Valley of Yakima.
After accumulating a sub-.500 record in the regular season at 7-13 and finishing third among the Olympic League's four 2A teams, Sequim got a big win at Klahowya to get a home playoff game. Then the Wolves edged Eatonville by a single point in a do-or-die game, fell to Fife Wednesday and finally edged Steilacoom Friday night.
"Our kids, in the last couple of weeks, have exceeded everybody's expectations," Glasser said. "They have proven a lot of people wrong. That's what I enjoy coaching so much. I enjoy proving people wrong and being the underdog."
The Sequim coach was impressed with the number of Wolves fans who made the trip to Friday night's game at Foss High School in Tacoma.
"The crowd there was just amazing," he said. "The fans have been amazing."
Sequim now advances to play Clarkston in the first round at the state tourney. The Bantams finished third in the Great Northern conference behind West Valley (Spokane) and Pullman.
The Bantams score about 56 points per game and give up 52 per contest. Clarkston lost three of their final four regular season games, then came back to beat West Valley for the Great Northern No. 1 seed.
Dustin McConnell, a 5-foot 11-inch junior guard, leads the Bantams in scoring with 14 points per game followed by 6-foot senior post Cody Brown (10 points per game).
The Sequim-Clarkston winner faces the winner of the March 11 Tumwater-Burlington Edison game. The losers of the two games Wednesday meet in consolation play at 2 p.m. on March 12.
The last time Sequim won a game at state was 2001, when the Wolves went 2-2 and finished eighth.
"We can't just be content with going," Glasser said. "I'm not done proving people wrong and neither are our guys."
Fife puts Wolves
in do-or-die game
Momentum from a recent, one-point home playoff win against Eatonville simply wasn't enough to knock off the Nisqually Division champions.
Fife downed Sequim 52-43 in the West Central District semifinals in Tacoma on March 4.
Against Fife (15-6), Sequim got 15 points from Ary Webb, eight from Oliver and seven points apiece from Catelli and Corbin Webb, but a rash of turnovers in the second quarter and Fife's size advantage in the third began to take its toll on the inexperienced Wolves.
"We played a tough team," Glasser reminded his players in the locker room, moments after the final whistle. "They came out with a ton of pressure. We responded pretty well in the second half. I don't think we have to hang our heads here."
A spot in the district finals was what Sequim's players were yearning for and, after the first quarter, it looked as if they might have a shot. After falling behind 8-0 early, the Wolves got a pair of three-pointers from Ary and Corbin Webb, and then Ary Webb converted four consecutive free throws near the end of the first frame to tie the game at 14-14.
Oliver's field goal off a Thorson assist kept the Wolves within two points halfway through the second quarter (22-20), but steals by Dustin Yarrington and Thomas Darneille spurred a 12-2 Fife run that helped the Trojans go into halftime with a 34-22 lead.
Sequim had 12 first-half turnovers and 20 overall.
The Wolves looked like they might be in an even deeper hole just 90 seconds into the third quarter when Ary Webb, the team's leading scorer with nearly 17 points per game, picked up his fourth foul. But the Wolves actually closed the gap in his absence, outscoring Fife 9-5 to creep within 10 points (43-33) going into the fourth quarter.
Fife, however, slowed the game enough to bleed the clock and force Sequim into tough shots. Darneille, listed as a 6-foot 3-inch guard, pestered Ary Webb into tough shots. Sequim got their last score of the night with a Corbin Webb three-pointer, closing the gap to 51-43.
Darneille led a balanced Fife attack with 11 points while Damien Fisher, Cameron Hayes and Neiko Thigpen had 10 points each.
Ary Webb led the Wolves with six rebounds while Thorson added five. Oliver paced the team with three assists and two steals.
"They got a couple of steals and put-backs," Sequim guard Omdal said. "I think we did a good job of keeping composure. For a lot of us, it was the first time of being in the playoffs. We just need to get our feet underneath us (and) know what level to play at."

Radio Silence Lyrics - Harvey Danger
let it sing
let it cry
and roll out the carpets
no such thing
you mustn't pry
all hail to another confession
and it's losing me
where have all the merrymakers gone?
where have all the merrymakes gone?
some people will surprise you with a real depth of feeling
and others still may shock,shock, shock you with all that they're
but one thing's sure: there's always more information than you ask for.
ask for this:
just enough knowledge to know i don't know anything,anything,anything, I
don't know, nobody likes what I like thats how I like it
some things are personal (at least they should be)
or is it too much much to ask you just to maintain a little
maintain a little
maintain a little
maintain a little
maintain a little
maintain a little
take the cynical saint to the stake and you burn it
it's radio radio silence silence. (x2)
it's radio radio radio silence (x4)

From Vegetarian Times. This is very good. I had a bit of trouble getting the 6" tortillas to fit in the muffin cup, but I folded them in a bit and it worked. It took longer than the 7 minutes for them to be crispy enough, but I could also open them up a bit to get more ice cream in once I put them in bowls. I also used 1/2 C hot cocoa mix (presweetened) for the sauce and it turned out great. You could even dip any leftover tortilla cups in any leftover sauce. Yummy!

Many people are unsure of the key features to look for when shopping for a bathroom fan. Gone are the unattractive and noisy structures of the past. You'll find a vast selection of effective bath fans that also blend into your home's existing décor at Louie Lighting.
The Purpose of a Bath Fan
A bath fan should usher moist air outside along with eliminating the problems associated with high humidity like mold, mildew and peeling paint. Conditions within a steamy bathroom can also damage building materials like wood framing and drywall.
The larger your bathroom the higher your fan's CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) rating should be. The CFM measures air flow capacity. The average bath fan's rating ranges from 50 CFM to about 110 CFM. In essence, larger is better when it comes to CFM since air quality is an important concern.
Bath Fan Features
A bathroom fan need not sound like the inside of a wind tunnel; there are many options to choose from that are both quiet and decorative enough to enhance your bath's atmosphere. Fan noise is measured in "sones". A rating of 0.5 to 1.2 sones equals a very quiet fan. Ratings of 1.5 to 2.0 sones is still very good. Fans rated in excess of 4.0 sones tend to be much louder.
By choosing a model that already includes a light and depending on its features, you can make use of your existing wiring and switch. Some models boast built-in heaters for instant warmth to those stepping out of a shower or bath. Other bath fans also have night lights to help lead children and those with trouble seeing in the dark. Look for options with timers included that will shut off your bath fan after a predetermined length of time to save on energy costs.
Browse Louie Lighting today to locate quality bath fans from the top manufacturers in the industry. Need help? We'll be happy to assist you in finding the right fixture for your home or business. Please call us toll-free at 1877-382-2104 or email email@example.com

Essential NY bites
- t
- tanyabrown Oct 11, 2007 07:54 AM
Am looking to do an independent walking tour of Manhattan with the plan being to go from the lowest point and ending the walk in Harlem. Along the way, we plan to stop at places that serve quintessentially NY food and/or atmosphere. We know we want to stop for capuccino and pastry in Little Italy and probably visit bars like Chumleys and McSorleys along the way. We also will probably not be looking to include high end restaurants as we expect the walk to take all day and with the exception of dinner, won't want to allocate 2-3 hours to eat. We also know that we eventually want to end the walk in Harlem with dinner at Sylvia's. Since we will be covering a lot of territory, can you offer any suggestions?
Start off at Front Street at Jack's for a cup of coffee, it's a neat coffee house, then you could go through Chinatown and have some dim sum, then Little Italy for cappucino as you said.
re: CornflakeGirl
Chumley's is nowhere even close to re-opening.
re: Wilfrid
That's what I though.
re: Wilfrid
Good to know, I had no idea. Then I guess it will have to be McSorleys.
At 57th and 8th is a street cart that serves the very NY (via the Middle East) Halal dishes. Order one dish of "gyro over rice with white and hot sauce," walk 1/2 a block to the 57th Street Starbucks to sit down, and share this very NY dish.
Get a dosa at the Washington square dosa cart. Stop in Chinaown for a Bahn Mi and some beef jerky or dumplings.
You might want to consider including my (in)famous LES food tour. While you walk the streets of this interesting, historic neighborhood, you get to do what you have in mind, i.e., sample food emblematic of NYC. Here it is:
LES Food Excursion
For the quintessential NYC deli experiences, no place beats Katz's, on the corner of Houston (pronounced "how-stun") & Ludlow Sts. You're there specifically for the pastrami sandwich. When you enter, you will be given a ticket. Instead of opting for table service, do what the "natives" do and get on line for counter service. When you reach the counter, put a $1 for each sandwich in the counterman's tip cup – though not mandatory, it is a tradition -- and order pastrami on rye. He'll give you a piece to taste. If you like it (the best pastrami is juicy and has some fat on it), tell him o.k., and he'll make your sandwich, give you some sour pickles, and punch your ticket. Then, continue along the counter for sides – the cole slaw is good -- and drinks. Find seats at a table in the center of the room. (Tables along the wall have menus on them and are reserved for waiter service.) When you're done, take your ticket to the cashier in front, where it's cash only. To pay by credit card, go to the counter at the rear where the salamis are sold. Note: For the purposes of this tour, unless you have a gargantuan appetite, it would be best to share one sandwich in order to leave room for more tastings along the way.
When you exit Katz's, turn left and continue along the same side of Houston St. You will come to Russ & Daughters, famous for all sorts of smoked fish and many other goodies. It's not a restaurant, but they make sandwiches to go.
After leaving the Russes, continue west a couple of blocks until you reach Yonah Schimmel's. Get a tasty potato knish, and make sure to ask them to heat it up.
Now it's time for the quintessential NY drink – the egg cream. So, reverse yourself and head east on Houston until you come to Avenue A. (Note: Avenue A becomes Essex St. on the south side of Houston.) Turn left on A and head north until you get to the block between 7th St. and St. Mark's Place. Look for a hole-in-the-wall candy shop, closer to 7th, with an overhead sign jutting into the street that says, "Belgian Fries." (The place's official name is Ray's, but there is no signage to that effect.) One of the women behind the counter will make you a delicious chocolate egg cream.
When you're finished licking your lips, go back to Houston St. and make a left (east) one block to Norfolk St. Turn right and walk down Norfolk until it ends at Grand St. Two places to look for at the corner of Grand and Norfolk: Kossar's, for freshly baked bialys (another very NY food) and the Donut Plant (self-explanatory).
Next, walking west along Grand St., you will come to Orchard St. Turn right. At 87 Orchard, snack on a pickle from Gus's World Famous Pickles.
Then, continue to 97 Orchard, b/t Broome & Delancey, where you will find the Tenement Museum. The tour will show you what life was like for immigrants to NYC at the beginning of the 20th century. ( http://www.tenement.org
Once you have finished the tour, Il Laboratorio del Gelato, right next door at 95 Orchard, is a must for some of the best gelato anywhere.
If your sweet tooth is still not completely satisfied, the final stop on this tour should do it. Continue ahead (north) on Orchard, crossing Delancey, then one more block to Rivington St. Make a right and you will find Economy Candy at 145 Rivington.
Note: It's best not to take this tour on a Saturday since some of the spots are closed because of religious observance. Also, Donut Plant is closed on Mondays.
Enjoy and Bon Appetit!
Katz's on the LES for pastrami on rye, then McSorley's in the EV for some ale and a cheese, onion and cracker snack platter... walk that off some... a bagel and a shmear perhaps at Ess-A-Bagel on First Ave after that ... walk that off ... somehow include Patsy's Pizza on 1st Ave and 117th in there too in East Harlem before heading over to Sylvia's. You will definitely have loaded up on carbs by then...and hopefully you won't explode.
re: Emmmily
I've recently done a variation on RGR's tour with a few friends.
I start off in the east village at Momofuku Noodle bar for some of the best fresh vegetable dishes anywhere and possibly some of their excellent pork.
Afterwards it's a short walk to Katz's to share a pastrami sandwich and a Dr Browns. Next it's off to Il Lab for a palate cleansing lemon and basil sorbet.
I have once finished there and twice moved on to another food stop. Once we went to Stanton Social for some small plates and once we went to chinatown for some noodles and then more ice cream at Famous Chinatown Ice Cream factory.
It is also very possible to stay in a few block radius in the east village and eat an amazing assortment. Start with Momofuku and then a shared chicken shwarma sandwich from Chickpea, a dessert or two from Chickalicious, a few rectangular dark truffles from Black Hound, and possibly a cone of fries and a few sauces from Pomme Frites is all you need ;o)

Bomb Threats At Local Walmart Stores May Be Tied To National Scam
(CBS Charlotte) — Bomb threats reported at local Walmart stores has caught the attention of federal officials who believe the incidents may be part of a national attempt to obtain money from the company.
Earlier this week, several bomb threats were called in to the Statesville Walmart store, located on Crossroads Drive. After receiving the threat, the store was evacuated and a bomb squad searched the premises, but no bomb was found.
The caller who made the bomb threat demanded that the store give him the serial numbers of prepaid gift cards worth $1,000.
Additional bomb threats were reported at two other local Walmart stores this past week, and similar threats have been reported nationwide.
Officials assigned to the case believe that the incidents may be connected, and they are working with federal officials to identify a suspect in the case.

Kelly Taylor knows the ins and outs of beer. As owner and brewmaster at Kelso, Kelly brews 10 ongoing and seasonal beers at his Brooklyn based brewery. This Spring, we teamed up with Kelly to create a signature draft for Hudson Common. One Hop Stop, an Uncommon lager premiers this week at Hudson Common with Kelly himself pouring the first draw. Here is an inside look into the brewing process at Kelso and what inspired the making of One Hop Stop.
What does it take to create a unique brew that forms loyalty over years?
In short, consistency and staying true to your brand. Quality product doesn't hurt, but in this market, there are a ton of competitors. Find your niche and stick to it.
What does being a Brooklyn-based brewery mean to you?
Brooklyn is very local focused, and reminds me of more hip parts of the west coast. Brooklyn is neighborhood by neighborhood, each with unique character. It's an honor, and quite fun, to be part of that local focus.
What innovation do you predict in the brewing industry for the coming years?
Canning will continue to grow in acceptance. You'll see the smallest nano brewery be able to package their product and get to market. This will be a driver in the experimentation of beer styles and push the envelope of favors.
Walk us through the brewing process of Hudson Common's signature beer.
Basically same as other brew processes , but with two small twists. We had staff from Common come and pick a single hop to use (most beers are a blend of hops), and we used a lager yeast instead of an ale yeast. Longer fermentation, cleaner finish in lagers. Its nice to work with a bar so engaged in the process.
We see that you are heavily involved in charitable initiatives within the New York community, why is this important to your company, how do others inspire your craft?
It is important for every company, especially manufacturers of product consumed in the community, to be a part of that community. These are your friends, neighbors, employees, and yes, competitors, that are drinking or consuming your product. You must give back to them and be engaged in the neighborhood in order to be sustainable. Others inspire us by creating new, interesting flavor combinations, develop great /innovative marketing campaigns, or jut plain old sell, sell, sell. Put our feet to the fire.
If you should have a beer with anyone in the world, who might it be?
Former President Bill Clinton. I mean really. Assuming he still has a couple now and then. Yes, I like to talk politics after a few beers. Not a great trait, but there it is.

If Ferrari can lend its name to an outrageously expensive phone, why can't Spyker rent out its logo to a line of consumer electronics? And that's what they've done, with not just one mobile phone, but three. And three MP3 players, two mobile video players and two USB memory sticks.
You'd be right to expect Spyker-like prices, and the company doesn't disappoint. But we also associate unique design with Spyker and, well, except for those cool looking brushed-metal memory devices, this line of badge-engineered electronica screams cheap, not charismatic.
The video player above costs €249 (about $352), while the phone at right will set you back €299 (about $422). On the other hand, those two memory sticks each hold 2gb apiece and only cost €49 (about $70).

Prince William and Kate Middleton made another dazzling appearance this week when they hosted a charity dinner at St. James's Palace in London. The couple entertained 120 guests at an event to raise money for the National Memorial Arboretum Appeal and of course, all eyes were on the Duchess of Cambridge - and not just because of those pregnancy rumours.
Kate made a spectacular enterance, sweeping into the room wearing a glorious Grecian-esque gown
made of silvery grey satin. Once again, she turned to the elegance of a Jenny Packham design and with that fluid draping across one shoulder and the dainty ribbon around her waist, we say it's an excellent choice. The dress is also loose-fitting enough to abate those baby-bump watchers.
The Duchess accessorised the look with strappy silver sandals, a diamond bracelet and glittering drop earrings, as well as a red poppy to enliven all that silver. As for Kate's glossy hair, it was swept to one side and fell into those signature bouncy curls. Talk about the hostess with the mostess!
Aside from her loyalty to Alexander McQueen since the Royal Wedding, Kate is proving herself to be an avid fan of Jenny Packham dresses. It was back in June when the DoC first wowed the world in a floor-sweeper from the British designer's Spring / Summer 2011 collection at the ARK Gala Dinner [above]. We'd never seen her look so glitzy as she stepped out in a pearlescent rose gown embellished with Swarovski crystals and lashings of sequins.
Then, during her US and Canadian tour earlier this year, the Duchess sported two more JP frocks - one summery number covered in a floral print for cheering on her polo-playing hubby and another primrose yellow design for her arrival at Calgary Airport in Canada. And who can blame her when the feminine creations are perfect for nailing that understated elegance she's become known for?
And Kate's in good company. Angelina Jolie wore a similar style at 'The Tree Of Life' LA Premiere in May - although hers was in crimson, naturally. And just this week, we've seen Lea Michele opting for a sparkling champagne-coloured gown and Emily Blunt looking super sultry in a black beaded stunner, both by Ms Packham.
So what do YOU make of Kate's latest look? Let us know in the box below...

How I was Wrong but Still Made Money Today
#1 Trader Know Thyself.
The first step the trader must under go is know about themselves.
Do you love the action of day trading or would you prefer holding positions for long period of times letting a trade play out? You must pick a style that fits your personality, position trading, trend following, option plays.,day trading, growth investing, CAN SLIM, momentum trading, break out trading, chart pattern recognition, or the Darvas method.
#2 Pick a market
Will you trade stocks, options, futures, commodities, bonds, or currencies?
#3 How aggressive will you be?
Understanding your level of risk correlates to your level of returns how much will you risk per trade? Do you have a large portfolio and want to risk a conservative 1% of capital pr trade? 2%? Will you be aggressive and risk 3% or more per trade? Are you willing to go all in on trades with some speculative money and understand that big bets can cause you to lose your whole account? Do you want to make 15%, 25%, or 50% a year? Are you willing to take the draw downs associated with that level of risk?
#4 Doing the work
Do you understand that trading is a profession like any other and requires the same level of reading, studying, and learning as any other. Like other professions you will not make money at the beginning you will instead pay in time, education, and losses of capital. Trading is the hardest easy money you will ever make. If you want to trade you will be required to study charts, read books, maybe get coaching, have a mentor, do research, and maybe attend some educational seminars.
#5 Learn to lose
In trading you have to get use to being wrong about half the time. While traders will have streaks when they are right 10 or 20 times in a row they will also be wrong 10 times in a row on many occasions. Very few other fields have successful professionals that are wrong as much except entrepreneurs and professional gamblers. Trading is sort of like baseball batting averages where your runs batted in and home runs off set your strike outs.
#6 Master YOUR method
In trading it is more important to be a master of your method than a jack of all trades and master of none. You need a winning method that you believe in that you can trade with faith.
#7 Trading environment
Half of your success will be determined by knowing what kind of trading environment you are in. Bull market, bear market, volatile, or range bound. Also the instruments you use to execute your trading will determine your success. Your market has to fit your style. Trend traders can't trade a flat blue chip stock and most swing traders can't successfully trade a strongly trending currency.

Teaching Students to Learn and to Work Well with 21st Century Skills: Unpacking the Career and Life Skills Domain of the New Learning Paradigm http://sciedu.ca/journal/index.php/ijhe/article/view/5694
In Do You Want Your Students to Be Job-Ready With 21st Century Skills? Kivunja (2014a) draws on the work by the Partnership For Teaching 21st Century Skills (P21) reported by Trilling and Fadel (2009), to articulate that the skills that young people need to succeed as individuals, citizens and workers in the 21st century fall into four domains. As reported by Trilling and Fadel (2009) those four domains are the Traditional Core subjects and Skills domain, the Learning and Innovations Skills domain, the Career and Life Skills domain, as well as the Digital Literacies Skills domain. The pedagogical move from teaching the traditional core skills of literacy and numeracy to include these additional themes and skills of the 21st century is characterized by Kivunja (2014a) as the pedagogical shift that is needed to ensure that on graduation, students will be job-ready with the skills most in demand in the 21st century workplace.

Arguing that the components of the Traditional Core Skills domain such as the orthodoxy 3Rs of reading, -riting and rithmentic are well known, Kivunja (2014b) in Innovative Pedagogies in Higher Education to Become Effective Teachers of 21st Century Skills, draws on the excellent work of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21, 2008) and on the Framework for 21st Century Learning (P21, 2011) to unpack the skills of the Learning and Innovations Skills domain (LIS). In that discussion, Kivunja (2014b) argues strongly that it is essential that students be explicitly taught the skills of critical thinking and problem solving, effective communication, collaboration, as well as creativity and innovation, so as to make sure that they are well equipped with the Learning and Innovation Skills (LIS).

This article, builds on the work of Kivunja cited above, (Kivunja, 2014a and 2014b), to extend an understanding of the new learning paradigm by discussing its Career and Life Skills (CLS) domain. The article explains what the skills in this domain involve and discusses how the relevant skills can be taught to help prepare students for success in whatever workplaces, trades, occupations or professions they will join on their graduation into the 21st century Digital Economy.
 Charles Kivunja 2014-10-08 2014-10-08 4 The Sustainable Personality: Values and Behaviors in Individual Sustainability http://sciedu.ca/journal/index.php/ijhe/article/view/5858
Meaningful societal change begins with individual change. One cannot do for a community what one cannot do for one's self. The topic of Individual Sustainability is a controversial one, as students often appear to be unable to align their demonstrated behaviors with their admirable values related to sustainability. Individual behavior creates the foundation for action in social, economic, and environmental sustainability, and potentially guides our ability to work with one another to make life-affirming decisions. In short, it is a matter of aligning our day-to-day behaviors with our well-stated values that will result in greater sustainable community action.

The general objective of this research is to determine how an interactive website providing multisource feedback on personality motivates students to change their behaviors or values, or to align their behaviors and values. We believe that creating a "cognitive dissonance" between individuals' values and behaviors tends to encourage them to balance more effectively the self-knowledge that motivates intentional personal development towards more sustainable behavior. Most students indicated changes in their awareness, behaviors, and values following the study, but fewer indicated a greater alignment between their values and behaviors.

All learners learn best when they are motivated; so do adults. Hence, the way to ensure success of students in higher education is first to know what motivates and sustains them in the learning process. Based on a study of 203 university students, this paper presents eight top most motivating factors for adult learners in higher education. These include quality of instruction; quality of curriculum; relevance and pragmatism; interactive classrooms and effective management practices; progressive assessment and timely feedback; self-directedness; conducive learning environment; and effective academic advising practices. The study concludes that these eight factors are critical to eliciting or enhancing the will power in students in higher education toward successful learning. The implications for practice and further research are also discussed.
 Olusegun Agboola Sogunro 2014-11-12 2014-11-12 4 Effective Use of Peer Assessment in a Graduate Level Writing Assignment: A Case Study http://sciedu.ca/journal/index.php/ijhe/article/view/5727
At the undergraduate level, considerable evidence exists to support the use of peer assessment, but there is less research at the graduate level. In the present study, we investigated student perception of the peer assessment experience and the ability of graduate students to provide feedback that is comparable to the instructor and that is consistent between assessors on a written assignment. We observed that students were very supportive of the activity, and that negative concerns related to inconsistent peer evaluations were not supported by the quantitative findings, since the average grade of the student reviews was not significantly different from the instructor grade, although student reviewer reliability was not high. Students showed a significant grade improvement following revision subsequent to peer assessment, with lower graded papers showing the greatest improvement; greater grade change was also associated with an increased number of comments for which a clear revision activity could be taken. Design of the graduate peer assessment activity included several characteristics that have been previously shown to support positive findings, such as training, use of a clear assignment rubric, promotion of a trusting environment, use of peer and instructor grading, provision of directive and non-directive feedback, recruitment of positive comments, and use of more than one peer assessor. This study therefore builds on previous work and suggests that use of a carefully designed peer assessment activity, which includes clear direction regarding actionable comments, may provide students with useful feedback that improves their performance on a writing assignment.

Evanston Police shoot, kill suspected bank robber
By SAM CHARLES Staff Reporter December 16, 2013 4:40PM
Article Extras
Updated: January 18, 2014 6:23AM
Police fatally shot a man suspected in a bank robbery Monday afternoon in downtown Evanston.
The man held up a Chase Bank branch in the 900 block of Grove Street about 3 p.m., according to Evanston Police.
A teller provided a description of the man, and when police confronted him outside Bennison's bakery at the corner of Maple Street and Davis Avenue, he showed a gun and police opened fire.
"He was given every opportunity" to surrender, Evanston Police spokesman Jay Parrott said.
The man was taken to Evanston Hospital, where he died.
It was not clear how many times the man was shot.
Police were withholding the man's identity until they make final confirmation and contact his family, Parrott said.
Police recovered a 9mm handgun from the man, along with the proceeds taken from the bank during the robbery.
The shooting took place during a slow afternoon stretch at nearby Gigio's Pizza, also on Davis, so employee Victor Ortiz had time to watch it unfold across Davis from the restaurant's front window, just outside Bennison's Bakery.
After seeing a couple of police cars drive by, Ortiz said, "I saw a gentleman walking northbound on Maple when about 10 police officers swarmed the area.
"They're telling him to drop the bag, to drop it, and the next thing I know they opened fire, I'm guessing nine or 10 shots fired. It sounded like fireworks," Ortiz said. "The guy just dropped."
Angelina Mueller was working her shift as supervisor at Bennison's when she heard yelling and looked out the bakery window.
"Suddenly there were cops coming from every angle," she said. "They were like, 'Put that away, put it down,' and then they started shooting."
She and others inside the bakery couldn't initially see the man who had been cornered against the east wall of the store, but Mueller said she later saw him lying on the ground.
"They had what looked like a ventilator mask on him," Mueller said.
Kristin Lee also was in the bakery when police arrived.
"I had just gotten inside the bakery and was standing next to the window. A fleet of cars pulled up and officers had guns drawn, yelling at the man," Lee said.
Lee said there were about 10 people in the bakery at the time of the shooting and everyone inside was asked to stay there while police remained on the scene.
The Illinois State Police Public Integrity Unit and the Evanston Police Department's Office of Professional Standards will handle the officer-involved shooting investigation.
The FBI could not be reached for comment on the bank robbery.

DEFINITION of 'Cleanup Fund'
An insurance term referring to the final expenses associated with an individual after his/her death. The cleanup fund, or funds for final expenses, is a type of life insurance policy intended to cover the deceased's final expenses. Costs associated with funeral expenses, cemetery or mausoleum fees, and the costs of settling financial and property issues may be covered.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Cleanup Fund'
A cleanup fund can be a standalone policy or written in conjunction with another type of life insurance policy. The cleanup fund provides the estate with a means of paying for certain expenses related to the death, including funeral expenses and the costs of settling the remaining estate.
A cleanup fund can also refer to an account which has monetary resources devoted to environmental cleanup costs such as those following an oil spill.

Incorporation of Practical Measures to Assist Conservation of Biodiversity Within Sustainable Beef Production in Northern Australia
Edited by Sue McIntyre, CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems
Jointly funded by MLA, CSIRO and Environment Australia, October 2001
This project sought to identify and promote ecologically sustainable grazing management in grassy eucalypt woodlands in northern Australia. Through innovative interpretation and packaging of ecological information, and working with extension networks, we were able to change perceptions of conservation management amongst 942 landholders, of whom 418 changed their property management practices to incorporate some biodiversity conservation measures. However, our research has also identified significant economic and practical barriers to the adoption of sustainable management and biodiversity conservation. By raising awareness of the existence of ecological limits to land use (thresholds) amongst the scientific community and industry, we have provided a conceptual framework for improving our understanding of landscape management, and identifying practical ways forward in the quest for sustainability.
Executive Summary
An understanding of the impact of grazing practices on biodiversity, and the identification of measures for improved practical management can benefit beef industry interests in two important ways i) to support their quest for sustainable resource management options; ii) to allow them to retain their rights to autonomy in deciding the best means for achieving this end. The wider community also stands to benefit from the move towards more sustainable use of grazing lands through sustained beef production. It also safeguards future land use options and the provision of ecosystem services.
This project combined the disciplines of agronomy, ecology and socio-economics to identify:
- Limits to the use of grassy woodlands for grazing that will enable ecological sustainability (including maintenance of biodiversity) to be maintained.
- The management changes required to achieve ecological sustainability.
- The economic implications of moving from current practice to sustainable management.
- The barriers and opportunities for producers to move towards ecological sustainability.
A technical reference panel and published information was used to develop a set of principles and thresholds for ecological sustainability. Four properties in SE QLD formed case-studies to explore the impact of moving towards more sustainable management. Production and economic models were used to calculate the economic impacts resulting from the minimum requirements for tree cover and protection of watercourses under the sustainability scenarios. We convened three management panels comprising the property owners and their peers and assessed the practical implications of implementing the principles.
Our project has substantially raised awareness of ecological sustainability and biodiversity conservation issues in northern Australia. The landscape management principles developed and the thresholds identified form a basis for the development of an Environmental Management System for the beef industry.
Communication outputs included a learning module for extension purposes (introduced to over 100 people in an innovative learning environment) and a technical information manual. We have been innovative in our presentation of technically difficult material into easily understood text, graphics and spoken presentations. An example of this innovation is a board game was developed to demonstrate a key aspect of landscape ecological theory.
An evaluation of the project indicated that as a result of the usage of the learning module, the content relating to the principles and thresholds reached 1543 landholders. The information contained in the module changed the perceptions of conservation management held by 942 landholders. These landholders now have a better understanding and greater awareness of the issues of conservation management in terms of their own properties. Of the 942 landholders, 418 have changed their property management practices to incorporate some conservation measures.
We have identified that while producers generally have a positive view of ecologically sustainable management, they face substantial barriers to implementation e.g.
- The economic penalties of restoring landscapes to adequate tree cover and appropriate patterns of grazing are substantial. When farm profitability is low, the impacts can be very high. Attempts to increase profitability by raising stocking rates, or expanding areas of crops and improved pasture will likely accelerate damage to natural resources and further contribute to losses of biodiversity.
- The areas that have the greatest need for conservation management are the riparian areas and fertile land types. These are the most desirable areas for production and involve the greatest attitudinal and financial barriers to change.
- The benefits of improved landscape management are long-term, while the costs of implementation are immediate. The benefits may not be fully captured by producers, or at least be perceived as beneficial to them. For example, fencing and regenerating riparian areas offers considerable advantages for biodiversity conservation and water quality improvement. These may be valued more by downstream and off-site users than by producers.
We identified the major threats to ecological sustainability in grazing lands in Queensland to be in three areas:
- Lack of long-term protection of native grasslands and pastures. Grasslands and the grassy layer of eucalypt woodlands are not protected under the Vegetation Management Act 1999, QLD. This is a problem as most of the diversity in grassy woodlands is in the grassy layer, and its condition determines the health of tree and wildlife populations. Sown pastures and fertilizer are a greater threat to grassland than grazing. Protection is currently afforded only by the economic circumstances; it is not perceived to be profitable to expand these technologies.
- Loss of tree regeneration capacity. Tree control is a major management input for producers, and there is a prevailing view that this burden should be eliminated. However,the loss of tree regeneration processes on the landscape is the beginning of a tree decline process. Initially this might provide relief to producers, but decades later, biodiversity losses will be felt and salinity hazards will become salinity problems. From a practical management perspective, is easier to kill trees than to establish them.
- Failure to protect riparian areas. Watercourses and their adjoining lands are key parts of the landscape that need protection. Dysfunctional landscapes leak soil, excess water, nutrients and organic matter which leave the catchment via watercourses.This reduces water quality and results in a loss of production resources from the catchment.Riparian vegetation retains these resources and provides a keystone habitat for wildlife.
Because native pastures play a key role in maintaining ecological functioning and biodiversity in grassy woodlands, we recommend that the industry seriously reviews new or proposed technologies that expand the areas of intensively used land. Crop, fertilizer and sown pasture technologies, that exceed critical thresholds in terms of their extent, threaten the long-term ecological sustainability of landscapes.
Suggested areas of future research include further exploring the financial and practical barriers to adoption of ecologically sustainable management in more detail. We also need to determine the limits of private responsibility for natural resource management, and the point at which it is replaced by public responsibility. This will enable equitable cost-sharing arrangements to be negotiated to balance private and public contributions to the cost of achieving sustainability.
Some beef producers are in a position to immediately undertake management actions towards ecological sustainability, either through self-interest or regulatory requirements. For these, continued exploration for practical solutions is important. An aspect of this will be the availability of technical support for farm planning and decision making. Salinity hazard mapping, soil maps, topographical maps etc are examples of information that is required at specific scales for farm planning, but which may not be easily accessible.
Another important area is to further refine the boundaries of the thresholds, how they vary, and what are the trade-offs under different levels of management. This will provide a more accurate assessment of landscapes to better identify practical solutions. Management options informed by scientific observations of landscape function are critical.Our work has structured current knowledge to identify important questions that require research viz:
- What are the limits to intensive land uses at the landscape scale in terms of vegetation health and the condition of riparian zones?
- What ecological attributes are maintained by providing riparian vegetation of different widths and different combinations of structural attributes (e.g. grazed sward, ungrazed sward, shrubs, trees)?
- What birds and mammals are adversely affected by different levels of vegetation clearing in the landscape?
- What are appropriate spatial scales to apply the different land-use thresholds (property, sub-catchment, catchment)?
