It's been a wild, windy week here in New York and throughout the eastern seaboard, right up into Canada. You don't need me to rehash the details but amid everything that has come to pass since last Tuesday, Halloween came and went, and the month of October bid us adieu for yet another year. With the start of November, evenings turn dark faster, the nights become brisk, and, especially once the presidential election is over here in the US, the media directs our attention to end-of-year lists and ideas for beating the cold. Two different newspapers from opposite sides of the Atlantic ran stories recently about breaking out of the seasonal doldrums and they both offer up some worthy ideas for families, couples, and single travelers wanting to slake their wanderlust in the next few months.
The UK's Guardian proposes a number of "Winter sun holiday ideas to lift the gloom." With some expected options like Miami, Florida, and Tulum, Mexico, the point is to remind readers of accessible global locations where even when the sun sets things remain hot, or at least pleasantly mild. For all of the time I've spent in Spain, I have never made it to any of the Canary Islands. A trip to Tenerife, the largest of these islands, is not a destination I would have come up with off the cuff but now that I have it in my head I probably won't be able to shake it until I get there one of these days. If you want a warmth that is more equatorial, Diani Beach's sixteen miles of luxuriant soft sand just south of Mombassa, Kenya, sounds wonderful. As does Ko Lanta, "an island in the Andaman Sea off the south-west coast of Thailand. . . . The island is home to a fascinating mix of cultures, including sea gypsies, who have settled in a coastal village but still have their own language, beliefs and rituals."
Writing for The New York Times, Stephanie Rosenbloom uses the pending holiday madness to compile a lengthy list of destinations suited for single travelers free and unfettered from the familial obligations of the season. As Rosenbloom writes in "Single for the Holidays," "Internet searches for 'solo travel ideas' are up by more than 50 percent and searches for 'solo travel destinations' are up by more than 60 percent year over year, according to Google." Clearly, the stigma of taking a big trip alone is a thing of the past. Whether you want an urban adventure full of culture and nightlife or a trek through wilderness, the article has ideas that span the globe, insuring that solo travelers won't feel lonely when they hit the road over the coming months.

Electric Toothbrushes for Children?
Our dentist recommended an electric toothbrush for our kids. Do you think this would be better than a manual toothbrush?Question:
Electric toothbrushes appear to be more effective in removing plaque. They may also increase motivation to brush. Because children are generally brief and erratic toothbrushers, the appeal of a gadget such as an electric toothbrush may increase their interest in maintaining oral health.
Many studies have compared adult use of electric versus manual toothbrushes; however, very few similar studies have been done with children. Grossman et al., (1997) showed that an electric toothbrush removes plaque more effectively in children older than seven. I suspect that younger children will have difficulty handling and manipulating an electric toothbrush.
An earlier study compared the use of manual and electric toothbrushes in two groups of children. One group included children ages 7 to 9-years-old and the other group included children ages 10 to 12-years-old. In both groups, more plaque was removed with the electric brush. In children under four, there was not much difference in plaque removal.
In the study completed by Grossman et al., (1997), manual toothbrushes were compared to an electric toothbrush manufactured specifically for children, namely the Braun Oral-B Plaque Remover for Kids. This study involved children ages 8 to 12-years-old. The children were carefully instructed in the use of both toothbrushes and then randomly assigned to use either manual brushes or the Braun Oral-B electric brush. Examiners found significantly greater plaque removal from both primary and permanent teeth in children who used the electric toothbrush.
Plaque removal is necessary to prevent cavities and to control gum disease. About 85 percent of children will have at least one cavity by the age of 17 and almost 100 percent will have gingivitis by puberty. When using a manual toothbrush, it has been shown that children under five-years-old may only reach 25 percent of tooth surfaces.
Difficulty with proper oral hygiene is due to poor manual dexterity and lack of motivation. Using an electric toothbrush may help overcome these problems.
Grossman et al., "A comparison of the efficacy and safety of an electric and a manual children's toothbrush" Journal of the American Dental Association (1997) 128:469-474.Answer:

27 Baltimore Schools to be evaluated.October 17, 2012
Baltimore City Public Schools is embarking on a crucial process, a high stakes review for 27 of its schools with operating contracts. Using its "portfolio" approach, City Schools must approve contracts with its charter schools and other schools that are overseen by operating partners. The goal is to give such schools increased autonomy in day-to-day operations while setting clear standards for accountability. As part of that accountability, City Schools must evaluate each school's progress and let the public know how the school is doing.
Why are so many schools under review?
In the last few years, City Schools has lacked a good process for this kind of school review. This spring, SPSOC funded a project to bring in an experienced consultant that facilitated a working group made up of City Schools staff and school leaders. The work group developed a renewal process in which evaluations are based on both quantitative data and qualitative input gleaned from school visits and surveys. Through evaluation of academic programming and management, this new renewal process promises to yield a rigorous and comprehensive review.
Without a suitable review process in recent years, City Schools simply extended some school contracts rather than doing a rigorous analysis of their performance. This led to a backlog of renewals that needed to be done. With the new renewal process in place, City Schools is able to undertake a large number of evaluations this year.
The renewal process will begin with evaluations and recommendations from City Schools' New and Charter School Advisory Board, which is made up of City Schools staff and representatives from the teachers union, parents, the school board, community groups, and local government. I serve on this group. We will work together to review applications, data, and site visit reports and develop recommendations for City Schools CEO Dr. Andres A. Alonso.
Decisions about renewing a school's contract fall eventually to the Board of School Commissioners, based on recommendations from Dr. Alonso. The goal is to have all renewals voted on by the school board by next February.
These schools' contracts are up for renewal:
Charter Schools (18)
Coppin Academy
Afya Public Charter School
Baltimore Freedom Academy
KIPP Ujima Village Academy
Northwood Appold Community Academy
Patterson Park Public Charter School
ConneXions Leadership Academy
The Crossroads School

I as a mother would like to see these schools get rewarded what they need for these children today . It seems to me as if child are not being placed as a priorty in society today. Exspecially for our african american children .These children deserve a higher education an from the majority of baltimore city schools i have to say my heart goes out to the younger generation . The money in balto seems to be goin everywhere else but our children . I hope every school gets rewarded to give our children a decent education that will prepare them for sucess.

In Columbus New Mexico the corrupting influence of Mexican drug cartels is so strong that almost the entire local government is now in jail.
Columbus New Mexico is notorious for another kind of banditry.
In March, federal authorities arrested 10 residents, including Mayor Eddie Espinosa, police chief Angelo Vega and a village trustee.
They were charged with smuggling 400 guns to Mexican crime gangs, including dozens of AK-47 type automatic weapons.

The joint vision for the Associated Students of the University of Nevada. Please click the link below to access the full document.
Joint Vision 2017 Full Document (PDF)
The Joint Vision 2017 project began as the creation of the new strategic plan for ASUN. As we began to research various issues facing the Associated Students in March and April 2009, it became clear that the scope of the project was becoming far larger than we ever anticipated. In July 2009, our research efforts into best practices from Universities across the United States and higher education administration theory reached completion. We then began to consolidate the voluminous data into a coherent set of best practices that most aptly apply to the University of Nevada. Another component of our research was to examine the current programs and practices at our University to identify which areas could be reinforced or improved upon.
Our goal in the project is to craft a student vision for the University of Nevada in 2017. We have attempted to keep our recommendations as general as possible and it is critical to point out that the University has already made headway in many of the following recommendations. The intent of this document is not to point fingers or criticize different elements of the University. The first step in making progress in any field of human endeavor is a sense of brutal honesty and willingness to accept constructive feedback. Joint Vision is designed to provide a vehicle for discussion about our future as an institution in terms of direction, structure, philosophy, and efficiency. We must consolidate our efforts and clearly delineate our institutional priorities to our faculty, staff, students, community, and citizens.
As stated earlier, this document is not a criticism of our current practices. We merely hope that the University community will view our Joint Vision as a primer for the institutional evolution to the great University we have all striven to build. At the University of Nevada, we have incredibly talented and dedicated faculty and staff whose collective work forges the excellence that our institution has and will be known for. Over the past year, we have truly come together as a University community to fight the extraordinary difficulties the state budget situation presented us with. We now stand poised to enter an era of rebuilding and reorganization; we stand at the precipice of immense change where we can decide to continue on our present course while divvying up scarce resources or take the plunge to strive to become the best institution we can to serve the students and citizens of Nevada.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Randy Travis remains in critical condition in a Texas hospital after doctors used a pump to stabilize his heart.
A news release from Travis' publicist on Tuesday says he underwent the procedure after checking into the hospital Sunday with viral cardiomyopathy, a heart condition caused by a virus.
The publicist, Kirt Webster, says the peripheral left ventricular assist device was used to stabilize Travis's heart prior to a hospital transfer to Dallas.
Travis thanked fans in the news release "for their love and support during this time."
No other details about the 54-year-old Grammy winner's condition were available.
The Mayo Clinic website says the disease weakens and enlarges the heart muscle, making it harder for the heart to pump blood and carry it to the rest of the body. It can lead to heart failure

Raymond George Alfred Cooney, OBE (born 30 May 1932) is an English playwright and actor. His biggest success, Run For Your Wife, lasted nine years in London's West End and is its longest-running comedy.1 He has had 17 of his plays performed there.2
Cooney began acting in 1946, and appeared in many of the Whitehall farces of Brian Rix throughout the fifties and sixties. It was during this time that he co-wrote his first play One For The Pot.
Cooney co-wrote a farce with his son Michael, Tom, Dick and Harry. Cooney's farces combine a traditional British bawdiness with structural complication, as characters leap to assumptions, are forced to pretend to be things that they aren't, and often talk at cross-purposes to hilarious effect.
In 1983, Cooney created the Theatre of Comedy Company and became its artistic director. During his tenure it produced over twenty plays such as Pygmalion starring Peter O'Toole and John Thaw, Loot, and Run For Your Wife.
Cooney has also appeared on TV and in several movies, including a movie adaptation of Not Now Darling, which he co-wrote with John Chapman.
In 2005, Cooney was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of his services to drama.3
Personal life
Cooney's son Michael is a screenwriter and wrote the original screenplay for the film Identity starring John Cusack.

Only if she thought someone was going to see it! She had also untied her hair. Like Sabines it now hung loose, almost reaching her waist. Dave struggled to find something to say. "Sabines just been telling me that she's 18 now" said Dave, rather feebly. "Yes" replied ...

He positioned his penis right at the entrance of my pussy and he spread the lips all the way back and placed his thumb and forefinger there to hold it open. He commanded that I look down at his penis and when I did he slowly pushed his penis in. It slowly disappeared inside my pussy until his pubic hair was pressed tightly against my vagina. He approached me and I lifted my hips hoping he would finish what he ...

He must have seen my girlfriend's feet in my lap as he approached, because as soon as he came up to us he said to me. "Hey man, you're doing that wrong" he brushed my hands aside from my girlfriend's foot and said "you've got to make her laugh!" and at that he sprinkled a tickle on my girlfriend's sole that made her immediately yelp into a giggle and pull her foot away. Shocked, but a little charged from the situation, we gave him our tickets, exchanged looks ...

That spoke volumes, and the burning she felt, that was what he wanted her to feel. "Almost there," he remarked. "Aaaaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhh," was all she could answer, the plug lodged in painfully almost to the end, and it burnt, it burnt pretty bad; it was making Hanna hot all over again. Aharon withdrew it all the way, and when he pushed it forward again, it passed without trouble, easily, though it hurt like hell. He pulled it out again, massaging her abused little hole, trying her with his fingers, two, three, and he had no difficulty ...

Enjoy Your Life! Build Your Business! Have Your Way!
Does anyone have any suggestions for transfering a pre-made lotion base from a gallon container then back into smaller containers after scenting? My problem is that the lotion is to thick to effectivly use a funnel (especially when trying to get into the final small selling containers). I never had this problem when actually making my own lotions/creams because they were of course still warm and liquid, but have decided to have a company formulate a premade naturally preserved base to alleviate any contamination concerns that could arise with using my home kitchen and mixing myself. Are there maybe suppliers of wide mouth jars that would have some sort of pump cap on them??? Then it could be pumped into the small mouth boston rounds??? Its been messy going so far and very time consuming. I almost want to just go back to making myself! Thanks for any imput you can give.

Washington University in St Louis Olin Business School
Olin designed the Consulting Platform for MBA students interested in careers with one of two distinguishing characteristics: (a) a consultative approach to problem-solving, as an internal consultant or working as a professional in a consultancy, or (b) employment in organizations where solutions to such problems typically require engagement across multiple functional domains.
The specific concentrations in this Platform include careers in consultancies (strategy, human resources, and economics/finance); "internal" consulting positions within large organizations; and "rotational leadership" and other developmental programs that lead to general management positions where graduates lead business units or firms. This platform also serves as a foundation for students interested in the Business of Healthcare, Entrepreneurship, and International Management.

Twitter Under Federal Investigation For Shutting Out Developer Community
Twitter's developer community is huge. How big? Recently it was reported as being as large as 900,000 apps over 600,000 developers making about 13 billion API requests each and every day.
As I said: huge.
But things quickly change. Earlier this year, a series of strategic moves saw Twitter acquire some important third-party clients and re-brand them as official products, whilst flat-out blocking those of competitors, which began to unsettle the development industry. When the company then started telling developers that they should no longer be building apps that mimic the Twitter experience, things got really edgy. After all, they protested, many had invested time and resources into building a business that fundamentally depended on Twitter.
Relations soon reached a boiling point. And now, US regulators have begun an investigation into whether Twitter has unfairly disadvantaged those businesses and developers who had come to rely on the platform, and what, if anything, should be done about it.

News, Notes and Historical Information on the St. Louis Cardinals
[powered by WordPress.]
May 25, 1926 at Sportsman's Park
Cardinals 9, Reds 7 (20-19)
The Cardinals pushed themselves above .500 for the first time in almost a month with their second straight win over the Reds. It was another high scoring game, but this time it was without the late inning comeback. The Cardinals scored three runs in the first inning and never trailed the rest of the way despite the Reds trying to nip at their heels.
Jake Flowers and Ray Blades both hit homeruns for the Cardinals. Taylor Douthit continued to hit the ball well and he went three for four with three runs. Blades scored three times and Rogers Hornsby went two for three with a run.
Vic Keen was roughed up but he picked up the win. He gave up seven runs on twelve hits and three walks with four strikeouts.

Portfolio tracking is temporarily suspended as of NFTRH 285 (4.6.14) due to our need to trade this market, as opposed to hold positions. We hope to resume portfolio tracking when markets pivot and trends are established putting an intermediate trading/investing regimen back in favor.

The Department of Justice previously charged 22 defendants with foreign bribery under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act based upon an FBI led undercover sting operation involving a fictitious weapons sale in excess of $1 million to the nation of Gabon. The AHLG won a dismissal of all charges against its client Daniel Alvirez after Judge Leon had dismissed the conspiracy count and the first two trials had resulted in hung juries.

"This outcome was the right thing to do by everyone's standpoint," Alvirez's lawyer, Asa Hutchinson, said in an interview. Geri's lawyer, Eric Bruce of Kobre & Kim LLP, said in a statement that "it would have been a grave injustice" for his client "to ... See all stories on this topic »

Protist Friends
It just occurred to me that if you haven't played Amoeboid (or maybe even if you have), you haven't seen the descriptions of the protists I wrote. It's pretty much what you'd expect from me--a few factual details happily ensconced in a healthy dose of total nonsense.
And pssst, I may just be working on a children's book about these characters. Shhhhhh.

Shark News and Morpheus
I live in Los Angeles, and on Friday there was news that a fishing boat 3 miles off the coast of Venice Beach, CA saw a massive great white shark. Pretty cool, if you ask me, but the local news coverage of it was rather silly.
Reporter: Does it scare you when you're out there swimmin'?
Small girl: No.
Me: HAHAHAHA
And is it just me, or does she seem disappointed that only one person in Los Angeles County has ever been killed by a shark? "I guess that's good news." Sigh. Reporters: they only like high body counts.
While such an enormous great white is indeed an impressive sighting, and maybe even newsworthy, these newspeople seem to think it's news that there was a shark at all. My thoughts on this:
Also, environmentalists want great white sharks to be put on the endangered species list; they are not "thriving." Get it together.

All living things have jobs to do. For us, jobs are usually terrible things like "database administrator" or "graduate advisor." The rest of the tree of life have jobs like "don't die" and "run because a lion is chasing you."
In nature, no one has a free ride, but you know what animal has a pretty sweet gig (that is, when people aren't deforesting their habitat)? Koalas. If they had a job title it would be CEO and President of Sleepy Time, Inc.

Your guide to cigar accessories
Your guide to cigar accessoriesFor the cigar-lover in your life or for the beginning smoker, here is a list of all you need to enjoy a fine cigar.
Enjoying a fine cigar is a taste which must be cultivated. Like an aged whiskey or scotch, a cigar is a refined taste. But for people with a developed taste for cigars, or for those just learning to enjoy the feel of a well-aged cigar, here is a list of some necessary equipment and welcome additions to any cigar smoker's toolbox.
Humidor: A necessity for any cigar-lover, a humidor is designed to keep cigars at the right temperature and humidity, to prevent the tobacco leaves from drying out or becoming brittle. A good desktop humidor should be made out of hardwood and have a shade similar to that of aged oak or cherry wood. It should also come with a glass front to display the cigars inside. These may rest on a small rack or side-by-side in the box, with their labels facing front. The humidor must also come with a humidity gauge to adjust and keep track of the humidity, as well as a small pan of water which slowly releases moisture into the air. For the very high-class, walk-in humidors are available for purchase. Some people even build their own. These can be built into a den or garage, and they can hold thousands of varieties of cigars.
Cigar cutter: There are a variety of different styles of cigar cutters available for cutting the ends off the tubes before lighting up. Cigar cutters can be of two types, ones which cut the end off of the cigar and ones that pierce a hole in the end of the cigar. Among the cutters, there is the modified scissor variety which has a rounded end to hold and slice the cigar evenly, and the guillotine, which quickly chops off the end with a sharp stroke. Additionally, certain types of guillotine cutters feature a V-shaped blade which more easily slices through larger cigars. Piercing models are an alternative way to prepare a cigar, resulting in a hole in the end through which one can draw in the flavorful smoke of the tobacco.
Desktop lighters: For home or office, a large and decorative desktop lighter can be a perfect gift if chosen tastefully. There are many desk and tabletop lighters in a variety of models and styles, many of which may reflect other aspects of the smoker's life such as hobbies, sports, or business. Some desktop lighters also feature an ashtray and cutter built into the design.
Jet Lighters: These trendy and high-tech pocket lighters do not feature a flame, but a jet of super-hot flame to light a cigar at a higher temperature, allowing it to reach its burning temperature much faster and more cleanly. The lighters are a very cool way to start up a cigar and can be as much a conversation piece as a piece of cigar equipment.
Cigar transporters: In a variety of shapes and designs, cigar transporters allow the cigar-lover to take two or three of his favorite stogies on the road. In teakwood, leather, or metallic finish, the rounded cases have pockets for several cigars as well as a place for a lighter or cutter. They fit into a pocket or can be carried in hand luggage. They are prefect for weekend trips or long evenings at the office.
Ashtrays: A variety of ashtrays can complete the cigar-lover's set of smoking accessories, from personalized ashtrays to artistic creations by a variety of artists in a range of styles. Newer models of ashtrays feature small motors to suck in the excess cigar smoke so that the smoker can enjoy his cigar without spreading the second-hand smoke everywhere.
What is sky diving?
What is sky diving?Where can I find information about sky diving? Read this article for useful tips.
Before skydivers jump in the air, they first try to inspect the materials they are going to use to ensure safety. They are supposed to use 2 parachutes during the jump. The first one is the main parachute and the other one is used for emergency purposes. The skydivers place them at their backs. They also go under a discussion with the pilot to know the condition of the weather and which spots the divers are supposed to jump. They also plan the order on which the skydivers are jumping and how to achieve a safe landing. While on the ground,they then practice the moves they're going to do while on the air.
The skydivers then also climb aboard an aircraft and brace themselves for takeoff. The aircraft then climbs up to an altitude of between 10,500 to 13,800 ft. The pilot and another person checks on the spot where the skydivers are going to jump. This stage is called a jump run. Once each skydivers' turn comes,they then step away from the aircraft and execute 1 minute freefalls using their planned maneuvers. They then fall at approximately 120 to 150 mph. They execute their maneuvers such as stretching out their arms and legs to control the air resistance around them. Once they're flying at about 3,900 ft., the group then separates from one another until there's enough space to prevent them from bumping into each other. They wave their arms as a sign of opening their parachutes. They then use a pilot chute which is folded in their parachute system to open the main parachute. As it opens, air enters inside it and it takes the shape of a canopy to slow the skydiver's descent. This act all takes about 3 to 5 seconds. The skydiver controls the parachute's direction by pulling two basic controls called toggles. Pulling one toggle slows and leads the parachute on a certain direction.Pulling both of them slows the person's descent and forwards the speed of the jumper simultaneously. When the skydiver is about to land,he flares the parachute to achieve good landing. They then run on their feet upon landing or roll themselves in a forward manner to avoid further injury.
Tips in photography
Tips in photographyTips for amateurs to taking better photographs with any type of camera.
Everyone enjoys having photographs of family, friends, vacations, and interesting sites to capture memories and perhaps express a little creativity. Often times, a simple adjustment or two can greatly improve the shot, bringing even more pleasure to the finished photograph.
Whether the photographer is using an expensive 35 MM SLR type of camera, or a simple, inexpensive 110 disposable pocket camera, attention to a few details can make all the difference in improving your pictures.
The main areas where anyone can improve are content, lighting, and angle:
Star gazing and telescopes
Star gazing and telescopesStar gazing with or without a telescope is an intersting hobby and past time.
The night skies have been a mystery to man for centuries. Although nowadays we now have a clearer knowledge of the night skies and some of the things that they hold, there are still unseen mysteries in the dark heavens above us.
Kite surfing equipment: what you need to get started
Kite surfing equipment: what you need to get startedWith the correct equipment, the kite surfer is ready for an exciting journey.
There are 5 different categories of equipment that a beginner kite surfer needs. These are the kite including the kite's bridle, the lines, the kite control device including safety release system, the board including fins, foot strap or binding and leash and the kite surfer including harness, life jacket, water shoes and helmet.
The kite surfer is also another important piece of equipment used with this sport. With this in mind, a kite surfer body will need a harness system that temporarily attaches to the control device, a life jacket, water shoes, a thick wet suit and a helmet. With this equipment, the kite surfer is ready for an exciting journey.
Viewing wildlife safely: photography, tracking, and identification
Viewing wildlife safely: photography, tracking, and identificationViewing wildlife and animal tracks safely, getting the most out of your experience, including purchasing backpacks, hiking boots, clothing, and field identification guides.
Viewing wildlife in its natural habitat can be easier to do if a few simple rules are followed... quiet, look, listen, and do not touch! Safety is an important issue, and we are going to look at ways to be safe when participating in this wonderful hobby.
Know where you are going. This sounds simple enough, but you would be surprised at how many people just take a drive into the countryside, park their vehicle, and walk into the woods. While many may return unharmed, many more become lost. Planning, deciding on a destination, and getting a map of the area to familiarize yourself with where you will be going, are the first steps to be taken. Many county maps will also point out areas of interest and places specifically for viewing wildlife. Going out into the ?wild' is not necessary to view wildlife even. Many state and counties offer marked trails to follow. These are an excellent way to try out this hobby.
Clothing and Footwear
Dress appropriately. A sturdy pair of hiking boots is a priority. Make sure they fit properly, as a pair of ill fitting boots can be a danger in itself. They should also be waterproof, as this will help keep feet warm if you end up out longer than intended. Even morning dew can soak feet, and wet feet equal cold feet. Dress in layers. Outdoor temperatures can vary drastically nearly everywhere, summer, fall, winter and spring. The hottest day of summer in a southern state can be followed by freezing temperatures overnight. While you may not plan on being out overnight, always be prepared ahead. Always plan for the unexpected when dealing with nature.
A backpack is a necessity for even a short excursion. You should try on a backpack for fit. Wider straps are always a good bet. This will help distribute the weight evenly. Check stitching, make sure it has been constructed well. A backpack that falls apart right away will do you no good. Make sure it is comfortable and has enough room for the basic supplies that should be carried with you. Always pack a basic first aid kit, water, map, compass, (know how to use the compass), bug spray, and a pair of binoculars or viewing glasses.
Never Approach Wildlife
Remember that you are out in the wild to ?view' nature. Never approach an animal, no matter how cute it is. Never presume that a baby animal has been abandoned and needs your help. Mother is most likely not far away, and in truth, baby animals are the most dangerous to view, as their parent can be quite aggressive if they feel you are endangering their young. While large animals instantly come to mind, this rule applies to even the smallest. For example, a mother turkey will chase, attacking with claws and beak, if she feels you are too close to her chicks. While you may not find this dangerous, believe me, it is quite scary when you are the one being chased. You also risk losing your sense of direction and becoming lost is most hazardous.
A ?field identification' guide is a good investment. These come in everything from full sized volumes to pocket sized guides. These are available for everything from mammals to fish, birds, particular regions, states, etc. One I have found to be particularly helpful is a guide to animal tracks. Many times while out viewing wildlife, the most I have encountered is the animal's footprints. This handy little book allows me to ?see' what animal has just walked where I am now standing.
A journal of where you have went and what wildlife you viewed or tracks seen, is a good way to enjoy your hobby even after getting back home. This can be as simple as a spiral notebook.
Always leave nature the way you found it, if anything, cleaner. Take your garbage out with you. If you encounter trash along the way, be a good friend to the wildlife you are viewing and pick up the trash. Remember, viewing wildlife is a privilege, help take care of nature so the generation after us can also participate in this wonderful hobby!
How to start a used book exchange
How to start a used book exchangeHow to start a used book exchange. Save money on those expensive books and get more mileage out of the ones you do buy.
If you have been in a book store recently, you may have noticed the extremely high prices and turned right around to head to your local library. The price of books has skyrocketed in the past five years and it is becoming a luxury to purchase a book. If you like to read a lot, you probably only read a book one time and then never pick it up again. Fifteen dollars or more for a book is a lot more costly than going to the movies and reading takes up time we could be using to surf the Internet! Though the public library can be a godsend for those of us with limited funds, they often don't have the newest releases and if they do, they are almost always out. Some towns are lucky enough to have used book stores which offer discounts on books or offer credit on books you turn in to them, but if you don't have one of these nearby, why not start your own book exchange?

Sketching his way through
I entered the world of drawing when I was 6. Many things inspire me to draw today. Ever since I saw the movie The Chronicles of Narnia, I have loved fantasy creatures. Likewise, superheroes have fascinated me for as long as I can remember. More recently, I have been impressed by the details of Marvel and DC Comics character drawings. My preferred drawing style is cartoons.
My passion for drawing took a new turn when I began attending West University Elementary in first grade; everything was unfamiliar. I did not have the courage to make friends and focused only on class work. At school there was a bookmark contest, with two winners to be chosen for each grade level. I was so excited to finally have a chance to show my passion to my school. When I arrived home I started working on my bookmark. After I finished I turned in the bookmark and waited. A week later I was announced as one of the bookmark winners in the first grade. As a result, my bookmark was sold at Barnes and Noble.
I love to draw, but for many reasons. Drawing is a way for me to express my feeling of freedom. This allows me to draw whatever I want, in any style. All I have to do is bring a sketch book with me wherever I go and I can draw anywhere.
Yes, I love drawing, but I recognize it might not pay my bills when I grow up. For my career I have several things I am interested in doing for a living. I'm thinking of being a lawyer like my father since I'm good at arguing with facts. I'm also interested in being an architect because I sometimes like to draw buildings.
Drawing is a special hobby. It is one that I must practice to master, and one that I will continue.

Green Efforts
We are students, faculty, staff and community members working toward a more sustainable campus in order to meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. Learn more about Maricopa's Global Sustainability Initiative.
The Green Efforts committee holds monthly meetings to discuss sustainability, recycling, and awareness of environmental issues at Glendale Community College. The committee welcomes anyone who is interested in green efforts to attend. Meetings are scheduled the 1st Wednesday of every month at 3:00 p.m. in LS-273.
Petition for Better Alternative Transportation
Students of Biology and Sustainable Cities, and the Environmental Club, have created a petition for better transportation alternatives to GCC and the other MCCCD campuses.
Sign the Change.org petition to support increased light rail/bus access, subsidized passes, and better options for bikes.
GCC Commits to Protect Climate
- In February 2010, Chancellor Glasper signed the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) to pledge all of Maricopa to become carbon neutral. GCC's Greenhouse Gas Inventory is now complete. Please join us this year as we develop our Climate Action Plan.
- To become carbon neutral by 2025, GCC must reduce from the two largest sources:
- Commuting to and from campus - 51% (students, faculty & staff)
Electrical power purchased to run campus - 37%
Green Gaucho Guide: Commingled Recycling
Over the past 4 years, Green Efforts members have worked to provide recycling services in all classrooms, common areas, hallways, and employee workareas. GCC has received two grant awards that provided 150 recycle bins for our campuses. In Spring 2013, recycle bins were added to every employee office space in preparation for campus conversion to Zero Waste. It's now time to focus on what goes in the blue bins. The Green Gaucho Guide: Commingled Recycling contains a list of items that are recyclable on campus and items that are not. Know your recyclables and help reduce contamination in our recycle bins.
2014 RecycleMania: February 2 - March 29, 2014
GCC placed 7 out of 149 in the Waste Minimization category of the 2014 RecycleMania Tournament. During the tournament, schools report recycling and trash data which are then ranked according to who collects the largest amount of recyclables per capita, the largest amount of total recyclables, the least amount of trash per capita, or have the highest recycling rate. See final results.
Zero Waste Program
The Zero Waste Program is an initiative to reduce waste, maximize recycling, and reduce consumption. On America Recycles Day (November 15th), President Kovala reiterated her support for the Zero Waste initiative and announced campus-wide implementation by August 2014. All office spaces have been converted to Zero Waste (7-gallon recycle bin + 1-gallon waste bin).
Get Involved
Are you interested in discussing sustainability, recycling, and awareness of environmental issues at GCC? Green Efforts is open to students, employees, and members of the community. For updated information on activities and events, follow the Green Efforts community on Gaucho+. For more in-depth information, join Green Efforts on Canvas (MEID required).

AOL to Shut Down About 300 Patch.com Websites (Newsday)
AOL plans to close, sell or find partners for nearly a third of its Patch.com local news sites, the company's chief executive said Wednesday. Of the roughly 900 hyperlocal editions nationwide, nearly 300 are not successful and not likely to attract enough traffic or revenue, Tim Armstrong said in AOL's second-quarter earnings call with analysts. Forbes / Mixed Media Armstrong suggested that AOL may be able to find willing partners for many of the sites in the numerous struggling metropolitan daily newspapers that have been unable to invest as much as they'd like in their own digital and local operations. Poynter / MediaWire Several Patch employees tell Poynter that on a phone call with site editors Wednesday afternoon, Armstrong said that there was zero probability that Patch would shut down, that the initiative enjoyed support on AOL's board and that Patch is worth fighting for. FishbowlNY Just how much would a Patch site cost? Armstrong wouldn't provide a specific number, but said it was "much, much lower" than $150,000, which is what they were estimated at in 2011. BuzzMachine / Jeff Jarvis I have a fourth option, Tim: Invest. Set up independent entrepreneurs — your employees, my entrepreneurial graduates, unemployed newspaper folks — to take over the sites. Offer them the benefit of continued network ad sales — that's enlightened self-interest for Patch and AOL. Offer them training. Offer them technology. And even offer them some startup capital. Forbes AOL also announced it will buy video platform Adap.tv for $405 million, a reflection of the Internet company's push to develop its online-advertising business. The cash-and-stock deal will make Adap.tv, a video-ad platform that provides AOL access to the ad technology that the world's largest companies use, an independent part of AOL's video unit.

12/3/2010 98.5 Sports Radio Interview, Boston, MA
Guest: Bill Cowher, longtime NFL head coach and 2005 SB Champion Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Tony Massarotti: Bill, as you can imagine, there was a great deal of interest here in the Josh McDaniels/Steve Scarnecchia story out in Denver. And, I certainly don't need to refresh your memory on the link between the two organizations with Josh McDaniels. I know you have been asked about this…
But, for the benefit of our listeners here, is there any way in your mind that Josh McDaniels was not aware of what Steve Scarnecchia was doing?
Bill Cowher: Well, I don't know, and in my opinion, and I 'll say this, and I said this last Suunday: I don't know if any employee in any National Football League building, that doesn't answer to some superior.
Even the head coach answers to the owner. And so, you are looking at a video guy, he was answering to somebody. I have a hard time believing he did that independently
That being said, it's the responsibility of the organization and I think you have to be accountable for actions that are done within an organization.
The New England Patriots, they were given a very severe penalty when they were caught with that. I don't see there being..I understand there is a difference…But again, to me, draft picks should have been taken away from the Denver Broncos.
That is the ultimate. You take away a draft pick and you're saying it's a very serious thing. Money?
Listen. These companies, these organizations, some of them are worth almost a billion dollars. So, you can fine them and that's going to get lost somewhere in it, and I am not trying to diminish the effect of a fine, but you take away draft picks? And now you are talking about going to the very core of something unethical. And to me, there was not enough punishment done.
I don't who the video guy was answering to, but he was answering to someone. I have a hard time believing it was done independently.
Michael Felger: While we're on the topic, you lost some big games to the Patriots in that era. Do you feel that taping was a part of that story?
Bill Cowher: Ohhh! Heck no! I mean honestly, I, I, I, the taping that was involved in that story was the taping of Tom Brady making some pretty accurate throws. And that's what beat us. That's the only taping that I remember.
You know what? Listen: All that stuff at this point, a lot of it is overblown. Did they know our signals of our Monday night game when we came up there? Ya know? So what? Ok, sometimes I felt like we knew some plays and certain formations. The bottom line is you gotta execute. The bottom line is they completed passes. They beat 1 on 1 situations and we weren't able to defend them.
So, you know what? The game is still played between the lines, the game is still played by men, it comes down to executing and certainly a little anticipation helps and if you some things pre-snap that will help you execute, so be it. Right now, all these things are moot points. Everybody has communications. Defense has it. Offense has it. All this signal calling and stealing of years past is just that: In the past.
Michael Felger: This is not, just cause it popped in my head, coach….Do you remember the AFC Championship game at your place when you have a 4th and 1? And BB called a timeout and called Ted Johnson over? And they had a little conversation and Johnson stopped , I guess it was Bettis? Short of the first down. Do you remember that play?
Bill Cowher: Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. And you know what? We called a timeout. How does he know what we are going to call in the huddle?
I mean, listen: They made the stop. We didn't get em blocked. And ya know, and so, in hindsight, we should have ran to the other side (laughs all around). Listen: Those aren't the ones. Those aren't the signals. I don't worry about that.
That's not…Our offensive plays had been talked about and we talk through a headphone, and there is a formation we got involved with, we were going to run our play. And if New England gets into a formation, you know what they are going to run. Knowing what they are going to run is one thing, but having to stop it is another. The teams that can execute, even when the other team knows what you are doing, those are the teams that win championships. We weren't good enough that day.
Tony Massarotti: Bill, this has obviously been a sensitive and widely dissected topic here now, for over 3 or 4 years……
It's not as intense as it was then, but the McDaniels thing now has brought it back to the surface. It has been a point of discussion here, that, and the question was:
Does the Josh McDaniels thing ultimately lead back to the Patriots because of the fact he was a Belichick protégé? Throughout the rest of the league, do other people look at it that way? When this happened, did other people say, "well, what do you expect, he learned under Belichick and they got busted for it and now he's doing it in Denver"….?
Bill Cowher: You know, let me just say this: To answer your question, no, I don't think so. I just know as a head coach, you are always looking for a competitive edge. We had people out there trying to look at signals. We had guys go to games. They would tape the signal caller and also write it down. They would take it back and match up the signals with the game film and certain defenses with certain plays that were being called, particularly the defenses being called, to see if we could come up with some kind of an alert for a signal. So, what they did with videotaping the signal caller, people do it with the people in the stands!!
These people sitting there in the stands, looking at the signal, writing it down and matching up the 1st and 10 signal. Ok? Then you go back again and the 2nd and 10 and here's the signal. You do that for a whole game.
You then go back and match up the defenses with the signal. And you can come up with what the signal was.
So, you don;'t need a video tape with what they were talking about doing. And people were doing it. WE were doing that. Everybody does that. You're TRYING to gain a competitive edge. There is nothing wrong with that.
That's why baseball players go through the mirage of signals. They've got all these different codes. That's part of the competitive spirit of the game. I think it's totally overblown. I think if you get caught (signals compromised), then do what we did and go to wristbands, you are worried about it. We started putting defenses on wristbands. Then you find a way to not get caught (signals compromised). When your good at something and people try steal from ya, I think it's flattering.

The Eagles accomplished that with wins over state-ranked Burlington this year and last year's state tourney victory at state over top-ranked Hoisington.
"We can compete with anybody," Wellsville coach Eric Evans.
That kind of mind set should help the Eagles at the 2012 3A state tournament in Salina. This is Wellsville's second straight trip to state.
"We are looking forward to it," Evans said. "It is a little bit different than last year. It is going to be a tough road to hoe."
There will not be any easy matches Friday for the seventh-seeded Eagles (25-15). Wellsville's pool consists of defending state champion Hillsboro (37-3), No. 3 seeded SE of Cherokee (34-5) and tradition-rich Silver Lake (29-8).
Wellsville played Hillsboro last year in pool play and lost. Evans said they will be familiar with each other.
"We are going to play volleyball," Evans said. "We want to play the best ball we can possibly play. We visited a little bit about last year. This is a different team. They remember what it felt like."
Every point counts because of the tiebreaker situation. Evans said advancing to the semifinals could go down to one point.
"There is only one sure thing ... win them all," he said.
Wellsville is not the biggest team around.
"It is not the size of the body, but the size of the heart ... especially these girls," Evans said.
Wellsville comes into state on a roll, winning 15 of its past 19 matches. Evans said the turnaround came when the players fully bought into the team concept. He said the Eagles improved serve and serve-receive during the past month.
The school is full of excitement this week with the volleyball and boys cross-country teams qualifying for state, while the football team wrapped up a playoff spot last week.
Evans said everybody is enjoying the success of the fall teams.
"The fall season has been pretty good to us," he said.
State pool schedule
Hillsboro vs. Wellsville, 3:30 p.m.
SE of Cherokee vs. Silver Lake, 4:30 p.m.
Hillsboro vs. Silver Lake, 5:30 p.m.
SE of Cherokee vs. Wellsville, 6:30 p.m.
Silver Lake vs. Wellsville, 7:30 p.m.
