Cooley as handyman and artistPosted by on May 17, 2014 – 6:27 pm
Chris Cooley, former Washington Redskins tight end and current radio analyst, was keeping busy inside Redskins Park on Saturday as rookies were outside for the second mini-camp practice of the day.
As LB Trent Murphy, OL Morgan Moses, OL Spencer Long and the rest of draft class and undrafted rookies worked to get things in order and understand the Redskins way, Cooley was in the ESPN 980 Radio studio – tearing things apart.
He and two friends removed some studio foam tiles off a portion of the largest wall – space Cooley will use to paint a mural in the coming days – and began the process of sanding, patching, and priming the walls for the next Cooley creation.
Check out the video below to see some of the initial prep work done today and we'll be sure to keep you up-to-date as the room is put back together and decorated as only Cooley can.

Back In The Day Alex Ovechkin Shared His Redskins Jersey With Nicklas BackstromPosted by on February 5, 2014 – 2:10 pm
Down the jersey rabbit hole we go.
On Wednesday the DC Sports Bog directed me to this article from Dick's Sporting Goods about reigning NHL MVP Alex Ovechkin's jersey collection.
"I have LeBron and am going to get Kobe and Michael Jordan," Ovechkin said. "I also have RG3 and Chris Cooley ones."
After a little digging through the archives in this space, I found images from 2008 and 2009 that verify at least one item in the closet of the Washington Capitals captain.

Kevin Harlan Realized Cooley's DreamPosted by on February 4, 2014 – 12:00 pm
Chris Cooley squeezed in a wish for Kevin Harlan, asking one favor from the veteran NFL voice in an ESPN980 interview from Super Bowl XLVIII Radio Row last week.
"All I ever wanted to do was score a touchdown in the Super Bowl. I never got it," Cooley said. "Can I paint a picture? We're on the 25-yard line, and I just want to hear your voice say that Cooley scores."
Harlan, who will call his fourth straight Super Bowl for Westwood One, obliged. Click on the 10:35 mark to hear Harlan call the play that hands Washington a fantasy radio land Lombardi trophy.
This brings new meaning to fake it 'til you make it. Read more »

Chick Hernandez And The Greatest Afros In Redskins HistoryPosted by on January 16, 2014 – 4:04 pm
I have no doubts CSN Washington anchor Chick Hernandez rises in the morning and likes what he sees in the mirror.
Chick is confident man in a profession of confident men. If he didn't like what he saw, he probably wouldn't put it on camera. But maybe some mornings he looks at his closely cropped hair and remembers what was with a pang of nostalgia.
There was a time, a golden age for anchormen, when Chick's head sprouted hair so abundant it would make Pam Grier weep. Read more »

'Everyone Likes' Sean McVayPosted by on January 15, 2014 – 11:35 am
Jay Gruden wasn't ready to commit to Sean McVay right away, but on Wednesday the Redskins confirmed what has been reported since the head coach's first day in Washington.
The Redskins announced McVay will be promoted from tight ends coach to offensive coordinator.
Last night on The Drive with Cooley and Czabe on ESPN980, Chris Cooley effusively supported the 27-year old coach. Read more »

Chris Cooley: Jay Gruden 'Down To Earth' And Good For Robert Griffin IIIPosted by on January 13, 2014 – 12:04 pm
In nine seasons with the Redskins, tight end Chris Cooley played under Joe Gibbs, Jim Zorn and Mike Shanahan. In his first season as an analyst for ESPN 980, the Redskins Radio Network and the Redskins Broadcast Network, Cooley provided an insider's perspective throughout the final year of the Shanahan regime. Cooley arrived at Redskins Park last Thursday with some time to kill before interviewing Gruden on-air after a press conference to introduce the 29th head coach of the franchise.
Cooley briefly met Gruden before the coach's hectic media tour. Afterward, I sat down with Cooley for a one-on-one interview to get his early impressions of the new head coach. (The following interview has been edited and condensed).
Gabe Hiatt: What are your impressions of this move and this fit with Jay Gruden?
Chris Cooley: I'm excited because I feel like all the pieces that Bruce (Allen) wants are currently here. I've been a believer in Bruce since the minute he walked in the door. I think he understands people well. I think he understands players well. He knows who to bring in. My trust in that, and his relationships with everyone in the football world are so high. I think it's an exciting time. You have everyone on the same page with Bruce, with Jay, with the scouting department now… You have a completely synched organization. That's something we really haven't had since I've been here. Read more »

It's the beginning of March madness...college basketball goes crazy as 64 teams battle it out to determine who's the best team in the country. In many games, the teams are very closely matched in speed and skill. The game is not won by wide margins, and you don't know who's going to win til the final buzzer blows.
In most of those games, the team that wins is the team that stays toughest, that doesn't give up when it looks like the odds are stacked against them.
There are lessons for us in our weight loss journey from the attitudes of those teams.
1. It's not over til it's over. Just because you feel you've lost ground today in your fight against weight doesn't mean you've lost the battle. It just means you got behind. You have to re-commit yourself and stay in the game in order to be victorious. Every bit of energy you give to achieving your goals is important, and you CAN win the battle if you stick it out.
2. How you manage your time is critical. Basketball coaches know they have to use their time wisely if they're not going to run out of time to win, especially in a tough game. To win your battle against weight, time management is also critical. You need time to exercise, time to plan and prepare healthy, calorie-wise meals. If you misuse your time, you won't have the time to get that exercise in or plan/prepare those meals, and you'll end up making bad choices that will have a negative impact on achieving your goals.
3. When you feel you're losing the battle, take a time-out. When the opposing team gets 'hot' and starts picking up points, a coach often calls a time-out..it's a chance to regroup and try to get back on top of the situation, rather than letting it spiral out of control. There are times we need that too. Sometimes we just need to STOP, take a bit of a time out to evaluate what's not working...WHY it's not working...and figure out how to get control of the situation. Otherwise we often allow the situation to spiral out of control, and feel more and more defeated. Get control of the situation, don't let it control you.
Stay tough..stay focused...you CAN win this battle!
Lots of people start. They make New Year's resolutions, turn over a new leaf, decide to start a 'diet', exercise routine, etc...
But they don't stick to it. Somewhere along the way they give up. They never reach the finish line.
I entered a Biggest Loser contest several months ago. Over 1100 people entered the contest... only about 200 finished. 900 of the 1100 gave up. They quit.
People come and go on Sparkpeople all the time. All full of enthusiasm and excitement, they sign up for an account, create a page, join a team, post their commitment to lose the weight... and disappear.
Most people won't lose weight the way the contestants on the Biggest Loser tv show do: 5, 10, 15 lbs at a time. Instead, it will be a pound, 2 pounds, or maybe just half a pound a week. But the ones who get the weight off are the ones who don't quit.
It's that simple.
Don't quit.
Many of us have struggled with weight issues a long time, and sometimes we approach a new 'diet' plan with somewhat jaded eyes. We have this 'been there done that' attitude, and unfortunately, the 'there' we've been to is failure. We tried. We failed. We gave up. Then after awhile another diet came out..low carb, low fat, South Beach, whatever the diet du jour was... we tried it, we failed. Once again we gave up.
So what will make this different?
I challenge you to make three affirmations daily:
1) I CAN succeed.
2) I am WORTH the effort.
3) I WILL do whatever it takes to get the weight off and get in shape.
Write those down, and read them daily, memorize them, repeat them to yourself. You CAN do it. You are capable of success. You are WORTH the effort. No matter how discouraged you may feel, you are not a failure as a human being because you are overweight, so don't berate yourself. Love yourself, and accept that you are worth the effort it takes to make yourself trimmer and healthier.
Finally, commit yourself to doing WHATEVER IT TAKES to succeed. Say it out loud, "I will do whatever it takes to lose weight and get in shape." Say it over and over and over and over again until you believe it. The first step in changing your behavior is to change the way you think.
If you have approached this with a 'I hope this works but I'm somewhat skeptical because I've tried and failed so many times before' kinda attitude... before you can change your body you have to change your mind.
If you change the way you think, believe you CAN do it, you are WORTH the effort, and commit to doing WHATEVER IT TAKES... you WILL succeed, you WILL lose weight, you WILL get in shape, you WILL beat this and like the person you see in the mirror.
Three affirmations. Write them down. Memorize them. Say them daily. Make yourself believe them.. and you WILL succeed.
I want you to join me in the winner's circle this year.
The year is drawing to a close. No matter what happened in 2007, it's now past history, and 2008 is looming upon us. It's time to start a new chapter in my life, recommit myself afresh to the goals I have set, forgetting my successes and failures in the past year and starting with a clean slate.
I find a lot of people struggling with self-blame for past failures, and that self-blame becomes crippling for the future. So, if I can say one thing to anyone struggling with feelings of failure in the weight loss struggle, it would be : forgive yourself. Consider the stroke of midnight on December 31 to be your moment of wiping the slate clean, and start the year fresh. It's a new year, a new opportunity to succeed.
You CAN do it, as can I. And together we will succeed.
Happy New Year.
As Christmas draws near, I want to wish all my friends here on Sparkpeople a very merry christmas! (and a healthy new year)

Dave Attell is a true creature of the night. First, because of his much-missed show Insomniac, in which he roamed the deserted streets of heartland America looking for drunks or shift workers who were down to get weird. And also, perhaps, because of his recent project Dave's Old Porn, in which he seriously screens organic '60s and '70s pornos for his comedian pals and then brings in the actual porn performers for a critical review. It's all "hairy, dirty, filthy porn," as he told Conan last year, and when Hurricane Sandy knocked out his power, he edited episodes together by candlelight. If it goes on after-hours and it gets a little X-rated, he's your man. Catch him at a rare just-before-sundown set closing out his Irvine Improv run.

Judith Sheindlin is the center-of-attention type, so it's fitting that she stars in the most-popular of the court shows. Now in her seventh season, Judge Judy is as brusque, imperious and egotistical as ever. "There is nobody better at making somebody who's lying look foolish," she boasted (with justification) on a recent episode. Sometimes you wish this queen of mean would get her comeuppance, but boring she will never be.
VERDICT: Harsh but effective.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
On February 2, 1997, 20-year old Brandy Martin was killed at home when a bullet went through the back of her chair. Police said she was sitting in her living room chair while holding her 1-year old child when bullets began flying outside. Martin's other two children were sitting on the living room floor at the time but they were not hurt.
"She was a victim merely because she was at the residence that was targeted by this rival gang," Detective Clint Snyder said.
Snyder says Martin's brother was involved in a gang. The rival gang attacked Brandy's house near 16th and Fairview believing her brother lived there, but he did not.
"Apparently, Brandy was sitting on chair in front room with her back toward the front of the house that was shot up and was watching TV with children at the time this occurred," Snyder said.
The crime happened late at night under the cover of darkness. Snyder said there were no witnesses other than a neighbor who saw a dark colored car speeding away.
"We're pretty confident it was a rival gang, but we really don't know who and we've never had solid leads," Snyder said.
Detective Snyder says he believes the truth is out there and that someone knows who fired those shots from a high-powered rifle that pierced the walls, the chair and entered into Brandy Martin's back.
If you know anything about the case, call Crimestoppers at 267-2111. You can always remain anonymous and if your tip leads to an arrest, you could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Managing an online course can range from straightforward to complicated, and can become overwhelming at times. It is also uncommon to receive a manual when you are tasked with developing an online course. Not to worry – help is here! As learning technologies staff, we live and breathe the CLE!
With a little planning and development, we can build the foundation of a great CLE course. Below are just a few CLE course design tips and resources we identify as valuable. We hope these generate conversation and new ideas within your course, school, and department.
COURSE DESIGN TIPS: DESIGN FOR MOBILE and BLOCK MANAGEMENTDesign for mobile
The number one tip for this blog post is… design CLE courses for students using both laptops and mobile devices! Data shows students are accessing CLE courses using mobile devices more and more. This means we need to rethink the way we design courses in the CLE, specifically how we format images and text.
The CLE 2014 Refresh brought responsive design to the CLE. The CLE now responds and displays according to the device being used by the student. This means no more small, unreadable text when accessing the CLE from a mobile device such as an iPhone or Galaxy.
Here is a practical tip for improving the learning experience for students accessing the CLE from either a mobile device or a desktop computer – remove tables from CLE courses that are being used to format text and images. Replace these tables with images and text wraps that are designed to properly respond to students' devices. Sound complicated? Maybe a little, but not to worry, we are simply replacing tables with images and text to create better designed, more user-friendly CLE courses!
For the purposes of this example, we will add a Label to a course to display an image and a summary of the week's learning as seen below.
In the past we would have used a table to keep the image and text aligned in the label. This works well when viewed on a laptop or desktop computer, but once the content is accessed from a mobile device, the text does not display correctly on the smaller screen (in other words, the text does not "respond"). When tables are used for formatting text and images, students using mobile devices may experience cumbersome horizontal scroll bars (see images below), text that runs off the screen, and images that do not display correctly.
So how do we fix this? Just remove the tables that are used to format images and text in CLE courses and replace these with image wraps. Below is a side-by-side comparison of the two design workflows, as well as screenshots of how the two will display on a mobile device:
And here is a comparison of how both will display on a mobile device:
Here is how to apply an image wrap in a Label. Add a Label to a CLE course and insert text and an image into the text editor. While adding the image, navigate to the Appearance tab in the Insert/edit image pop-up (shown in the image to the right). From the Alignment drop down menu, choose Left to align the image to the left of the text (there are other alignment options available). From the Horizontal space field (how much space is added between the image and text), I entered 10 (pixels) for this example, which worked well. Click Update to continue.
That is it! You can now replicate this design workflow in other labels in your CLE course – creating a consistent learning experience for students. Questions? Comments? Post a comment below and let us know if students in your course are using mobile devices to access the CLE and if you have design tips of your own!Block Management
The second course design tip is better Block Management. Blocks are items that can be added to the left or right column of any CLE course. There are a number of different types of Blocks in the CLE and some may already be used in your course.
The first step to good Block management is understanding the different types of Blocks. Take a look at the Standard Blocks via Moodle Docs and explore the different types of Blocks available in the CLE (with editing turned on!).
The next step is to add only the Blocks that add value to the online experience. If a Block is not used, or has little value, consider removing it from the CLE course to conserve space for learning. Spend 10-15 minutes before each semester reviewing your Blocks, as well as considering how different types of Blocks can be used to improve the online learning experience for both students AND faculty.
CLE courses are divided into three columns and Blocks are typically located in the left and/or right columns. The middle column is where the course content is displayed and where students spend the majority of their time learning while in the course. To maximize the amount of real estate in this middle column, consider moving all of your Blocks to the left column. Once all of the Blocks have been moved from the right column to the left, the middle column becomes wider, extending to the end of the right column and providing more space for learning. See the images below for a visual comparison of the impact of better Block management:
Have questions about managing Blocks? Visit the CLE Knowledge Base for more information!
So you are probably thinking, "this is useful information, but I need CLE course design support now!" Not to worry, below is a list of resources that we find helpful when creating CLE courses:find examples of well-designed online courses
The best to way to be motivated and inspired to improve your CLE course is took look at examples of other well-designed online courses. These courses do not need to be in the CLE, or even Moodle courses necessarily. By getting a better understanding of the successes that other educators have had with online course design, we can create better online learning environments for students. Below are resources with good examples of online course design:

On August 2, 2014, the CLE underwent a major refresh with the installation of a completely new user interface. While this update also included a number of important performance and course-building enhancements, the crucial new feature — one that impacts all CLE users — was the new interface. Finally, we were able to fulfill easily the most requested CLE feature for the past few years — make it so that the CLE works better on smartphones and tablets. The new interface is now mobile-friendly, and incorporates responsive web design principles, which means it seamlessly conforms to the screen size of the device viewing it, be it a 27-inch desktop monitor, iPad Mini, iPhone or Android smartphone. Along with the refresh, we also released a short survey on August 2 to start gathering some feedback about the changes. We received seventy-three submissions through August. In this blog post, we report on some of the survey results and some directions for the future.
The survey asked everyone to grade the CLE refresh. Over 71% gave the refresh a C or better, and half of all respondents gave a grade of B or better. Here is a sampling of some of the comments:
This look is much clearer, cleaner and user friendly!
The graphics/skin of the interface is clean. All functions appear to be intact. No major re-learning required for average user.
It is clean looking and more up to date.
I like the clean look. There are less extras that take your attention away from the content. The colors are softer and cleaner as well.
Looks less cluttered which helps with visual appearance.
Much more mobile friendly.
It looks more updated and seems to be less buggy. Also, it seems to work better with Chrome than the old version.
Given that this refresh brought some major changes, this was a good start. But while most gave the new CLE a passing grade or better, there were also some who felt that the new CLE look and feel didn't quite past muster:
I do not like the mobile version nor do I like the new homepage, too sparse and it doesn't highlight my interest like the login button.
There is too much blank space for each menu. That has made it a bit too bulky and can't fit all the necessary information without scrolling.
I usually use CLE to get to UCSF's library resources like Pubmed, and it has been difficult for me to figure out how to navigate to this page.
There needs to be a drop down menu for lecture capture. Having all the classes on the same screen with the calendar is too cluttered and overwhelming.
The calendar does not fit, I needed to drag every time I need to move to the next week for see Friday.
The CLE team has already incorporated some of this feedback into a recent update. Some felt that the blocks (e.g., Navigation, Administration) that appear in CLE courses on the left and/or right were taking up too much space. We were able to reduce the block footprint so that there is now more room in the center area where the main course content resides. Other survey comments will be reflected in upcoming updates, including:
Future updates to the underlying Moodle learning management system that powers the CLE will also bring new features, such as much improved responsive behavior for all screen sizes and a user menu in the header that provides quick access to personal pages. Other survey comments suggested what would essentially be entirely new features, such as a way to provide quicker and less cluttered access to lecture capture recordings.
We invite you to continue providing feedback — the good, bad and ugly. The August 2014 refresh placed the CLE on a solid foundation from which to grow and improve. Your comments, feedback, and feature requests will be absolutely vital in this process. We plan to release new short surveys over the coming months. We also invite you to send any and all feedback to the Learning Technologies Group.
For some time now, UCSF has been in need of a place to store and manage video files to be shared across the University and for the public. Although Vimeo has been a resource on campus, the uploading process has traditionally not been available to all UCSF users, such as students. The time is finally here! The UCSF Library is now pleased to present a fully-functional system available to all staff, students, and faculty, called Media@UCSF.
Media@UCSF is an online video-hosting platform powered by Kaltura and provides the UCSF community with a centralized system for managing and distributing digital video content. Media@UCSF is fully integrated into the CLE, providing instructors and students with the tools to create, edit, and share videos in a course.
Anyone at UCSF can start using Media@UCSF now by logging into media.ucsf.edu. This blog post, however, will focus on the CLE integration.
Check out this support document to learn more about the different components that integrate with the UCSF CLE:
The Learning Technologies Group has also created documentation on the following topics:
Find these step by step instructions in our new Support Center.
To learn more, join us tomorrow at the Collaboration Roundtable hosted by the Library's Learning Technologies Group. This month's Roundtable will focus solely on Media@UCSF and takes place from 12 – 1pm in CL-215 in the Parnassus Library. Register to let us know your coming and feel free to bring your lunch while you learn about this new tool.

Are you interested in tracking attendance in UCSF CLE courses? Beginning Wednesday, October 1, the Attendance activity is being piloted at UCSF.
The Attendance activity is installed on the CLE and can be added to a CLE course the same way you add other activities. Instructors and course staff can mark the attendance status for students as Present, Absent, Late, or Excused. These status descriptions are configurable, and more can be added and reported to the course gradebook.
Follow the instructions below to add the Attendance activity to a CLE course today:
Instructors can also add the Attendance block that provides instructors and students with a shortcut to attendance information. Once you have added the Attendance activity to a CLE course, you can also optionally add the Attendance block. Follow the instructions below to add the block to a CLE course:
For support using the Attendance activity during the pilot, please see Moodle.org or the UMass Support Center. YouTube also has a great video showcasing the Attendance activity from Oklahoma Baptist University. As we progress through the pilot, the Learning Technologies Group will develop support documentation based on how the activity and block are being used at UCSF.
As always, contact the Learning Technologies Group or attend a CLE Clinic for help!
Have you used the Attendance module and/or block and have feedback about the pilot? Please submit your feedback in the CLE Attendance Pilot Survey.

Starting a new online course can sometimes be a daunting task. A student may look at a course page and see a never-ending list of activities and resources for them to view or complete. If a student opens up a course like the one pictured below, they might become paralyzed by the dreaded scroll of death. They might wonder where do I even begin? And over time, they may wonder Which resources or activities have I already viewed or completed? How do I know if I'm even getting anywhere? Luckily, Moodle, the learning management system that powers UCSF's CLE, provides ways for us to help students go through their online courses in a personalized fashion. This may mean selectively introducing content, branching activities based on performance, or merely keeping activities hidden until they are needed by the learner. Moodle's conditional activity features provide a helpful way for students to see their progress in a course. This is especially useful for asynchronous learning, because it allows the learner to be in control of their progress over time versus waiting for the next content to be made available by the instructor. Some common uses of Conditional Activities might be:
Employing conditional activities in a CLE course can get complicated pretty quickly. It's best to start simple and stay simple. So, let's start simple! Using conditional activities has two parts: 1) Activity Completion and 2) Access restrictions. Our faithful readers may remember that we posted about Activity Completion back in November, but let's take a deeper dive now.
Activity Completion
When employing the conditional activity features, you'll want to set up Activity completion first, then move on to adding access restrictions. Activity completion is enabled in the Course Settings for a course. It's best practice to enable this for a course before you start adding Activities and Resources, so the setting is automatically enabled. If you are enabling Activity completion after you've added items to the course, you will have to go back and enable each Activity or Resource individually.
For each course Activity or Resource, you can set the completion settings as you choose. There are three main options for each course activity or resource:
For the option where certain conditions must be met, you can indicate the conditions you wish. The simplest is "view". This means the student merely needs to open up the File or URL once and then, it is deemed complete. Graded items, like the Quiz, Assignment, or a SCORM package (like an Articulate presentation), can require a certain grade to be deemed complete. The Forum has the most complex activity completion criteria with options to require a certain number of posts or replies. When the conditions are met, check marks appear in the boxes for each activity.
Access Restrictions
The second part to employing Conditional Activities is using the Access restrictions. This setting enables Instructors to restrict the availability of any activity, resource, or even a course Topic according to certain conditions such as dates, viewing the activity, a certain grade obtained, or activity completion is fulfilled. The use of access restrictions personalizes the course experience for the learner. The appearance of activities depends on each student's own completion of prior activities. When these access restrictions are set, each student's course might look slightly different, because each student may be further along than other students are. In the Restrict access options, an Instructor can indicate a date that you expect the completion criteria to be completed by, however this date is not shown to students. It is only displayed in the Activity completion report that is available to Instructors, such as the one below. A quick, but important note about Activity completion: UCSF's CLE server gets triggered every 10 minutes to refresh activity completions. This means that although a student may have completed the activity, the criteria won't necessarily register for another 10 minutes. I hope this blog post has whet your appetite for exploring the course personalization options available to you with the CLE. As you can probably tell, the Restrict access options can get a lot more complicated and we'll go into that in a later blog post. Until then, please feel free to contact the UCSF Learning Technologies Group for any of your online learning needs! Laptop Image Credit: Kristen McPeak from the Noun Project

There is no requirement for U.K. passport holders to apply for a visa prior to entry into the Maldives.
A visa is required for registration but you will be asked to fill out this form during your flight for production at Male airport. There is no cost for this but there is a Maldivian departure tax equivalent to about £8. However, this is normally included in your overall holiday cost unless advised otherwise.
With regard to Health you are visiting a tropical climate and although the country is very health and hygiene conscious you should always seek the most up to date information from your G.P. or Pharmacist at the earliest opportunity.
The Maldives have recently introduced an "Airport Development Tax" which is payable per passenger on departure from the country. Please ask about current charges for this.

Association of Equipment Manufacturers applauds bill.
The U.S. Senate approved a transportation bill, S. 1813, known as MAP-21 (Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century) on March 14 which according to supporters, gives states greater spending flexibility, allows the government to set minimum safety standards for subways, and buys time to find a funding solution for a system that has been close bankruptcy.
The $109 billion bill was approved 17 days before funding and authority to collect the gas tax that support it are due to expire, according to several news reports.
Highlights of the bill include:
Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) President Dennis Slater issued the following statement congratulating the U.S. Senate on its passage of S. 1813.
"AEM and its more than 870 member companies, their tens of thousands of employees, and the national grassroots I Make America campaign thank the U.S. Senate for working together in a bipartisan way to pass this critical two-year reauthorization of the highway bill. Passed by a resounding bipartisan vote of 74 to 22, S. 1813 reforms the way highway programs are administered, allowing for quicker and more efficient project approval, and provides a stable source of surface transportation funding, creating the certainty state departments of transportation need to plan, and American businesses need to invest, hire and grow.
We especially commend Sen. Barbara Boxer, chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee, and Sen. James Inhofe, the committee's ranking Republican, for their persistence, dedication and commitment to the spirit of bipartisan cooperation that has resulted in this well-crafted legislation.
There is no single piece of legislation pending before Congress that will do more to immediately create American jobs and sharpen our global competitiveness. Now that the Senate has acted so decisively and by such a wide bipartisan margin, the finish line is in sight, and AEM calls on the House to move immediately to the highway bill when it returns to session next week. Only 18 days remain until the current program extension expires on March 31st. The House must follow the Senate's example, pass this legislation, and get America moving again."

Book Description:
Young Stalin tells the story of an exceptional, charismatic, darkly turbulent young man born into obscurity who embraced revolutionary idealism, the world in which he found his Messianic mission in life. Equal parts scholar and terrorist, Stalin was so impressive in his brutality that Lenin made him, along with Trotsky, his chief henchman. Here is Stalin the supreme dictator in the making--his psychology, his hatreds, his loves, his knowledge of the world--and steeped in the paranoia of the underworld, learning how to triumph in the Kremlin and to create the USSR in his profoundly flawed image.

This post is written for anyone who doesn't live in a hermetically sealed, LEED Platinum, net-zero, passive solar house built with fair trade materials. Basically, it's for all of us. Our company has greened tons of homes and wanted to pass along the biggest things you can do to green your house. I am defining a green house as one that is:
Healthier/Safer/Less toxic to live in for you, your family, your kids and your pets.
Less expensive to run, costs less in utility bills every month.
There are some added things in here for people who live in California (where I do) but the info can be used by anyone.
1. Painting: Always use zero-VOC paint. Almost all brands pitch their paint as low or no-VOC paint however that's usually before you add the color tint to it. The tint is where most VOC's are located. I always recommend Olympic Zero-Voc paint because it's zero-VOC even after the color tint has been added. It's what I used in our house, they have it at Lowes and it's inexpensive. Here's a link:http://www.olympic.com/products/paints/23/olympic-premium-interior-paint
2. If you live in California: To get a majority of basic energy efficiency work done, check out the Energy Upgrade California program. You can get up to $4000 back from SDGE and $500 from the county. Here's the link:https://energyupgradeca.org/overview
3. If you DON'T live in California: Check out DSIREUSA.ORG for a list of rebates and incentives to make your home more energy efficient.
4. HVAC: If possible get your HVAC duct work checked out and cleaned. In California Energy Upgrade California covers this I believe. If you're in San Diego, call Guthrie and Sons (they are a local green HVAC company-speak to Matt-619-571-3563 and tell him I referred you). I've used them before and they are cool, affordable and very good at what they do. Their link:http://guthrieandsons.com/
5. Carpet: If you are replacing any carpet, consider using Mohawk Smart Strand. It's looks/feels like regular carpet but is made from corn sugar and off-gasses less. You can get it at Lowes/Home Depot and it's priced the same as regular carpet. Link: http://www.mohawkflooring.com/flooring-products/carpet/smartstrand.aspx
6. Kids health: Make sure their rooms are Zero-VOC painted if possible, keep all electronics 6 ft away from their heads/heart when they are sleeping (to reduce impact from electromagnetic rays), try not to position their beds directly under a vent (HVAC register) and add a plant or two to their rooms to filter the air. Here's a list of best plants to filter air, compiled by NASA.
7. Install a water heater blanket: Available at Lowes or Home Depot, inexpensive and can cut down water heating bills. Here's a link.
8. Add foam outlet gaskets to all exterior wall outlets. Reduces air infiltration, lost heating and AC costs.
9. Add foam pipe insulation to your hot water pipes. This will reduce heat loss and conserve water.
10. Add faucet aerators to conserve water. Simple to do, inexpensive and can save up to 50% of water use. Check out this video- the guy's accent is awesome.
That's it, hope this is helpful.

Oct. 13 (Bloomberg) -- The top Republican on the U.S. House Armed Services Committee today urged a special congressional supercommittee to avoid further cuts to the Pentagon's budget.
The supercommittee, tasked with finding as much as $1.5 trillion in cuts in government spending, should "make no further cuts to discretionary spending for national defense," California Republican Howard P. "Buck" McKeon said in a letter to a 12-member panel.
McKeon called on the panel to find reductions in non- defense entitlements, such as Medicare and Social Security, instead.
McKeon said his message to the special panel is to "find the other $1.2 trillion out of the mandatory side." The supercommittee is charged with finding cuts of between at least $1.2 trillion and $1.5 trillion.
McKeon also cautioned against overhauling military health care and military retirement benefits, which was suggested by a Pentagon advisory board.
"We urge the joint select committee to exercise caution when considering many of the existing deficit reduction proposals relating to service-member benefits," McKeon wrote on behalf of Republican members of his panel.
"Avoid to the greatest possible extent adopting multiple simultaneous changes to military retirement and health care," he said. The "combined effects will have a devastating impact on the fiscal and quality of life of military retirees."
Military benefits must be viewed with the dangers and the extended absences from family in mind, McKeon said. The benefits must also be formulated "in the context of expected life stream earnings."
If the supercommittee fails to produce a plan that Congress would pass and President Barack Obama sign, government-wide cutbacks would be triggered. Defense would automatically be cut by $500 billion, not including interest, over the next decade.
If that happens the Pentagon would have its budget cut to about $437 billion -- about the same amount as in fiscal year 2003, McKeon said. The Pentagon would operate under such a budget through 2021, according to McKeon.

Graeme is one of the three directors of Easy Law Training and he will be your 'Master of Ceremonies' for the day. Here he opens the conference and gives out essential notices.
Tessa will be looking at amending tenancy agreements – something you may do often, but are you SURE you are not thereby invalidating them? Discover the pitfalls you need to watch out for
If you have more than two tenants sharing who are not family – you could well have an HMO. In which case you may be in trouble. David looks at the problems that may arise and what you can do to prevent them happening

When Fayetteville-Manlius Varsity Football Team Co-Captain Conner Chen was asked to choose a teacher for the F-M Honorary Coach program, he immediately thought of Eagle Hill Middle School teacher Anita Davis.
"She was one of the most influential teachers I've ever had," said Chen, a high school senior who moved from Shanghai, China, to F-M when he was a fifth grade student. "She made me feel welcome, told me to be who I am and confident about my Asian heritage, and I wanted to honor her."
Since 2006, the F-M High School varsity football team has chosen educators admired by the players to be part of the football program for each home game. They attend practice on the Wednesday before the home game, speak to the team after Thursday's practice, and are with the team on the sidelines during Friday's game.
"We give this honor and recognize the educators in front of our large home game crowds, because we believe football is an educational program," said Head Varsity Coach Paul Muench, who teaches social studies at F-M High School. "The more teachers that are a part of our program, the more insight they will have about what is accomplished on the field every day."
F-M High School Guidance Counselor Doug Madden will serve as the honorary coach for the 7 p.m. Oct. 14 varsity football game between F-M and Corcoran High School. The game will take place at the F-M High School Turf Field, located next to the high school and district office building on E. Seneca Turnpike in Manlius.
Davis was Chen's first teacher at F-M. She now teaches sixth grade at Eagle Hill.
"We were both in our first year at F-M which created a special bond, and I think the warm welcome he received from the Eagle Hill community was also very important to him," Davis said.
