Launch the booter like you built it while wearing the Corked, because you probably did.
Wait for the groms to finish building the backcountry booter while you stay dry and toasty with your business end inside the insulated Oakley Corked Pant. The hurry-up-and-wait lifestyle Simon Dumont encounters while filming in the park and backcountry was the inspiration behind this heavily insulated and vented pant from Oakley's Pro Rider Series.
- Waterproof breathable shell fabric features fully taped seams for skiing top-to-bottom during big, wet storms and hiking for more once the lifties quit for the day
- 100g 3M Thinsulate insulation preserves your body heat as you wait for the backside to open while chilling on a windy ridge
- Inner and outer thigh vents draw in cool air so it blows across your thighs when you are stuck with booter-building detail
- Both snaps and a zipper attach a powder skirt so you can seal out all the snow even when you ragdoll after guinea-pigging the jump you just built
- Adjustable waist tabs and waist band keep the Corked on your hips so you don't moon the crowd on the lift after a righteous fall
- Boot gaiters prevent the snow from creeping up your legs as you barrel through it
- Reinforced cuffs guard against ski edges and gravel parking lots

I bought these pants and have been completely amazed by it every day I use it! I'm 6'1 180lbs and like a baggier fit. I bought the XL and it's the perfect size. Take this pant out and just watch the moisture glide right off. The insulation is also really warm yet breathable. I have stayed cozy in harsh conditions but don't sweat during park days. I highly recommend this pant.

Author (and Speaker?) – Payne
As an author, you may be asked to speak.
I've been doing presentations for over 15 years and have learned many tips that I can share with you today. Let's start with a tip I feel is very important:
Tip: Cater to learning styles
You are most likely to succeed as a presenter if you are aware of your audience's different learning styles.
There are three main styles of learning: visual learners, auditory learners, and kinesthetic learners. Try to use a style to suit every member of your audience.
Visual learners need to see the presenter. They learn through seeing.
· Write down instructions, use pictures, and time lines
· Give handouts and allow time for them to take notes
· Use visual displays such as posters, diagrams, overhead transparencies, videos, and flipcharts
Auditory learners need to hear the presenter. They learn through hearing.
· Offer verbal lectures and repeat words and concepts
· Organize small-group discussions, brainstorming, and debates
· Keep background noise and distractions at a minimum
Kinesthetic learners need to move and touch. They learn through doing.
· Offer hands-on activities and games
· Take frequent breaks to allow movement and not sit for long periods
· Work in groups and use role-play
By using a variety of teaching methods from each of these categories, you can accommodate different learning styles, and help your audience to remember more of what they learn.
Put down your pen and pick up your microphone to give the best presentation ever!

I've agreed to speak to a ladies group in Oct. I am not a speaker and hate to stand before a group. ANy suggestions to overcome that?

Just consider how precious it is to share the heart of God with these ladies. When you focus on hearing and speaking the words you have heard from the Lord, your confidence in standing before the group will grow because you will know you are speaking words that will go straight to their heart and meet the needs that are there.

Squat Jacks
Exercise Instructions
Stand with your feet together and squat down, keeping your knees together and thighs parallel to the ground.
Hold the position and hop your feet apart as wide as is comfortable.
Quickly hop your feet back together, keeping your hips low - this counts as one repetition.
Maintain the squatting position and continue hopping your legs together and apart for a specific amount of time or a set number of repetitions
Exercise Purpose
These are an evil combination of wall sits and jumping jacks that dial up the caloric burn by incorporating every muscle in your legs and not letting them rest. This is a great plyometric workout that builds speed and control in the lower body, making it a great training tool for many different sports, such as skiing, snowboarding, football, and soccer. Because of the number and size of the muscles being worked, these are also an excellent anaerobic workout that will challenge your heart and lungs. This move doesn't use any equipment and is perfect to add to a home boot camp workout for maximum calorie burn and fast toning results.
I HATE squat jacks with a passion!! They hurt so bad, but at least that means they're working!
I like them specially when it hurts, cause that's when u feel u have push yourself, that u can do it No matter what. Remember no pain no gain.

Twisted Metal sorts out my Halloween costume
Of all the nonsense publishers dump on my doorstep, this latest offering from Sony is up there with my favorites. Just in time for Halloween, I stumbled upon this scary clown mask based on Twisted Metal's purveyor of ice cream and death, Sweet Tooth.
Yes, my wearing a hideous clown mask is an improvement, el oh el. For bonus points, feel free to reference the fat clown from Spawn.
Twisted Metal is due out next year and I'm quite looking forward to it. It's been far too long since I dove into that ludicrous series of games.

Game Hero: Tomas Satoransky's 20 points tell only half the story of his contribution to his team's victory. The 21-year-old point guard masterminded the Czech transition game and his five assists in the opening quarter unlocked the Georgian zone defence.Stats Don't Lie: The Czech Republic came into the clash with a field goal percentage of just 34.3%, but by running in the open court they shot at 61% (Georgia 33%) in the first half to take a 54-35 lead, which left Georgia with a mountain to climb.
The Czech Republic established a frenetic pace on their Sunday clash with Georgia to win 95-79, keep intact their hopes for qualification from Group C and eliminate the Georgians from contention in the process.
Georgia were facing on Sunday at Celje Arena a team that only converted 18.9% of their shots from three-point range throughout their first three games in a tournament, and starting off the game by defending in zone seems like a very rational approach in such a case.
But when Satoransky beamed the ball down the court to Pavel Pumprla in the first Czech fast-break of the night and the winger dunked to bring his team up 9-6 midway through the first quarter, it all started going wrong for Georgia.
"We kind of expected that they would come out and play zone, after seeing us yesterday against Spain where we couldn't make a shot," said Czech Republic veteran guard Jiri Welsch.
"But we had another weapon, we just run and scored and were able to undo the zone, so that was our recipe and it worked very well."
On the last possession in the opening quarter, Welsch split the Georgian defence, missed the lay-up, but Ondrej Balvin with a put-back dunk made it 26-15 for the Czechs at the first buzzer.
The Czech lead would never drop below double digits after that.
"I expected a tougher game, but I think they came out tired after last night's late game," Welsch said respectfully about his Georgian colleagues.
"They've been playing the whole tournament with a limited rotation and it showed today, as we just outrun them, especially in the first half."
Satoransky held the key to that 'run first, ask questions later' Czech approach in the period that determined the outcome.
"He is the prototype of the modern basketball player," Welsch said about his teammate.
"He is pushing the ball, he is physical, athletic, quick, he is a model for this team."
Satoransky collected seven assists and six rebounds to go with his 20 points, while Jan Vesely picked up a double-double of a game-high 27 points and 10 rebounds for the Czechs.
"When you put him [Satoransky] together with Jan Vesely, you have a killer combination," Welsch offered.
"We're sure happy to have that on our team."

The Past, Present, and Future: Learning Catalan Part III
This week we've learned not only the past (vaig + infinitive, estava, i molta mes!), but how to talk about the here and now, and also the future. Luckily, the tenses are fairly similar to Spanish....it's the verbs and how to pronounce them that gets me stuttering and turning red.

Say What? Learning Catalan Part II
There are a lot of similarities between Catalan and Spanish, but they are by no means the same language. Some of the verbs are the same, but a lot is different. Catalan, like English or French, is not a straight-forward language. Many vowels have multiple sound possibilities, many letters are not pronounced at all! This makes learning Catalan F-U-N!....not.

Learning Catalan: Part I
So why learn Catalan if you speak Spanish? Because in my opinion, language is one of the best ways to learn about a culture.

Hello again Maple People,
A good time at Christmas for me used to mean things like "little tin horns and little toy drums" with maybe a fast sled thrown in. I've reached a point in my maturity, however, when I'm glad to simply count my blessings like the big one that recently occurred right here in our Morse microcosm. Similar to January 1998, we were spared the terrible ice storm that nature has spewed all over the east.
Here we are again in post foliage season, my vocational equivalent of "change of life". We've suddenly gone from mega-business to business doldrums, brilliant colored leaves to a stark grey tree line, and an abundant harvest to barren fields. Thankfully though, there's a balance to finances, nature and this old guy's psyche; a couple days ago I got a letter from a Massachusetts lady that really made me happy.
A few days ago Wilson Ring an Associated Press reporter came up to the farm to see me. After a hurried salutation, he asked if I'd "seen the headline". Quicker'n I could say "Syria", he shoved his smart phone in my face and there the ugly headline glared: "Autumn in Arizona and why it's better here than in Vermont". The first words outa my mouth were "Those're fightin' words!" and, don'tcha know, Wilson sent my remark out on the wire to places all around the country, including Arizona!
Although I'm a "farm boy" right down to my slow lane image , everyone needs a hobby. And, no, my someday obituary will not include the words hunting, fishing, bowling, or golf. I simply don't have time for those "normal" pastimes nor will I even in retirement...don't know how, never learned.

By His immense transcendental energies, Krsna can convert matter into spirit. If we place an iron rod in a fire, before long the rod becomes red hot and acts just like fire. In the same way, food prepared for and offered to Krišna with love and devotion becomes spiritualized. Such food is called Krsna prasadam, which means "the mercy of Lord Krsna."
Eating prasadam is a fundamental practice of bhakti yoga. In other forms of yoga one must artificially repress the senses, but the bhakti-yogi can engage his or her senses in a variety of pleasing spiritual activities, such as tasting delicious food offered to Lord Krsna. In this way the senses gradually become spiritualized and bring the devotee more and more transcendental pleasure by being engaged in devotional service. Such spiritual pleasure far surpasses any kind of material experience.
Lord Caitanya said of prasadam, "Everyone has tasted these foods before. However, now that they have been prepared for Krišna and offered to Him with devotion, these foods have acquired extraordinary tastes and uncommon fragrances. Just taste them and see the difference in the experience! Apart from the taste, even the fragrance pleases the mind and makes one forget any other fragrance. Therefore one should know that the spiritual nectar of Krsna's lips must have touched these ordinary foods and imparted to them all their transcendental qualities."
Eating only food offered to Lord Krsna is the perfection of vegetarianism. In itself, being a vegetarian is not enough; after all, even pigeons and monkeys are vegetarians. But when we go beyond vegetarianism to a diet of prasadam, our eating becomes helpful in achieving the goal of human life--reawakening the soul's original relationship with God. In the Bhagavad-gita Krsna says that unless one eats only food that has been offered to Him in sacrifice, one will suffer the reactions of karma.
How To Offer Your Food To The Lord?
As you walk down the supermarket aisles selecting the foods you will offer to Krišna, you need to know what is offerable and what is not. In the Bhagavad-gita, Lord Krišna states, "If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, I will accept it." From this verse it is understood that we can offer Krišna foods prepared from milk products, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and grains. Meat, fish, and eggs are not offerable. And a few vegetarian items are also forbidden--garlic and onions, for example, which are in the mode of ignorance. (Hing, or asafetida, is a tasty substitute for them in cooking and is available at most Indian groceries.) Nor can you offer to Krišna coffee or tea that contain caffeine. If you like these beverages, purchase caffeine free coffee and herbal teas.
While shopping, be aware that you may find meat, fish, and egg products mixed with other foods; so be sure to read labels carefully. For instance, some brands of yogurt and sour cream contain gelatin, a substance made from the horns, hooves, and bones of slaughtered animals. Also, make sure the cheese you buy contains no rennet, an enzyme extracted from the stomach tissues of slaughtered calves. Most hard cheese sold in America contains rennet, so be careful about any cheese you can't verify as rennetless.
Also avoid foods cooked by non-devotees. According to the subtle laws of nature, the cook acts upon the food not only physically but mentally as well. Food thus becomes an agent for subtle influences on your conscious. The principle is the same as that at work with a painting: a painting is not simply a collection of strokes on a canvas but an expression of the artist's state of mind, which affects the viewer. So if you eat food cooked by non-devotees-employees working in a factory, for example--then you're sure to absorb a dose of materialism and karma. So as far as possible use only fresh, natural ingredients.
In preparing food, cleanliness is the most important principle. Nothing impure should be offered to God; so keep your kitchen very clean. Always wash your hands thoroughly before entering the kitchen. While preparing food, do not taste it, for you are cooking the meal not for yourself but for the pleasure of Krišna. Arrange portions of the food on dinnerware kept especially for this purpose; no one but the Lord should eat from these dishes. The easiest way to offer food is simply to pray, "My dear Lord Krišna, please accept this food," and to chant each of the following prayers three times while ringing a bell:
1. Prayer to Srila Prabhupada:
nama om vishnu-padaya Krišna-preshthaya bhutale
srimate bhaktivedanta-swamin iti namine
namas te saraswate deve gaura-vani-pracharine
nirvishesha shunyavadi pashchatya desha tarine
"I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is very dear to Lord Krišna, having taken shelter at His lotus feet. Our respectful obeisances are unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami. You are kindly preaching the message of Lord Caitanya deva and delivering the Western countries, which are filled with impersonalism and voidism."
2. Prayer to Lord Chaitanya:
namo maha-vadanyaya Krišna-prema-pradaya te
Krišnaya Krišna-chaitanya-namne gaura-twishe namaha
"O most munificent incarnation! You are Krišna Himself appearing as Sri Krišna Caitanya Mahaprabhu. You have assumed the golden color of Srimati Radharani. and You are widely distributing pure love of Krišna. We offer our respectful obeisances unto You."
3. Prayer to Lord Krišna:
namo brahmanya-devaya go-brahmana-hitaya cha
jagad-dhitaya Krišnaya govindaya namo namaha
"I offer my respectful obeisances unto Lord Krišna, who is the worshipable Deity for all brahmanas the well-wisher of the cows and the brahmanas and the benefactor of the whole world. I offer my repeated obeisances to the Personality of Godhead, known as Krišna and Govinda."
Remember that the real purpose of preparing and offering food to the Lord is to show your devotion and gratitude to Him. Krišna accepts your devotion, not the physical offering itself. God is complete in Himself--He doesn't need anything--but out of His immense kindness He allows us to offer food to Him so that we can develop our love for Him.
After offering the food to the Lord, wait at least five minutes for Him to partake of the preparations. Then you should transfer the food from the special dinnerware and wash the dishes and utensils you used for the offering. Now you and any guests may eat the prasadam. While you eat, try to appreciate the spiritual value of the food. Remember that because Krišna has accepted it, it is non-different from Him, and therefore by eating it you will become purified.
Everything you offer on your altar becomes prasadam, the mercy of the Lord. The flowers, the incense, the water, the food--everything you offer for the Lord's pleasure becomes spiritualized. When we offer the Lord something with genuine love and devotion, He enters into the offering, and thus the remnants are non-different from Him. So you should not only deeply respect the things you've offered, but you should distribute them to others as well.

Hi all.
So I'll be going back to my hometown Saturday night, spending the night with family and then leaving LO with my grandparents on Sunday while my husband and I go deep sea fishing with my dad and uncle.
What all should I pack for her while we're away. So far I'm thinking my (small) stock of frozen breast milk (as well as a can of formula, in case it isn't enough.) a hearty helping of diapers, wipes, and extra outfits (she is known to 'splode a diaper or two every now and then.) blankets and soothies...
I just feel like I'm missing something. Is there anything else you'd suggest bringing?

Where to Sell Your Rhinestone T-Shirts
Let's say you just got your brand new rhinestone machine, mastered the software, know the hardware, and everything is up and running great.
Now What?
Most people that start new business like custom t-shirts, embroidery or have joined the latest craze in rhinestone t-shirts spend lots of time picking the right equipment. Lots of time picking the right rhinestone software http://www.rhinestonecamsmachines.com/hotfix-era. Lots and lots of time learning how to use it and coming up with incredibly cute designs. And a tiny, tiny amount of time on how to get the word out and sell something!
This problem applies to every level of investment, by the way. If you just bought a plotter and some template material or if you stepped up and got a professional rhinestone transfer system, like the CAMS Automatic Rhinestone Machine found here, or even one of the new spangle transfer and t-shirt machines like the ProSpangle. Since that lack of planning INCLUDES not building a website to sell your products, we're going to introduce you to a few easy ways to find customers online without one.
Believe it or not, people connect and buy things from friends all the time on Facebook. You can handle it one of 2 ways:
- Just post your sample designs, rhinestone t-shirts and decal pictures on your personal timeline. You can post prices, make sure everyone knows you do custom work and ask them to Message you for pricing.
- Start a Company Page – there are lots of different types of pages and you should pick the one that sounds right for your business. Once this is set up under your business name you can even put your FB address on your business cards! Here is some great guidance by Facebook about these kinds of pages: https://www.facebook.com/business/overview
Here's a little secret.. there are TONS of real businesses that only sell stuff through Etsy! You don't have the advantages of that built in customer base on Facebook, but Etsy will let you take orders right online. Just make sure you set up a PayPal account.
One of the main advantages to Etsy are that it IS a very social outlet. Take advantage of that by loading up lots of pictures of your products, share and comment. Be a part of the Etsy community and you'll be rewarded with sales.
Go to eBay and search for "Rhinestone T-Shirts" right now. You will see there are over 292,000 results! It's really cool because you can make these products using machines found on this website. Don't be discouraged, that just means that people ARE selling rhinestone t-shirts, hats, car decals and all kinds of bling through eBay.
Just like with Etsy, pictures are King and Queen for getting sales. Take great pictures and post as many products and you can. Pay attention to the descriptions and how your product looks compared to everyone else's. Then do a search as if you were a potential customer. Tweak your product listing and search again until you like what you see!
All these methods are great for selling your rhinestone clothing, wholesale rhinestone transfers or custom products. Some people never even build a website or e-commerce shopping cart for their custom t-shirt business and just rely on one or more of these channels.
Happy Selling!

Employment Opportunities - page 2
Hi. I'm a male attorney with eighteen years experience, my undergrad was in physics and math, and I'm just now applying to nursing schools. I'm primarily interested in BSN programs. Are there any resources, templates, etc... Read More
- 0Jun 18, '12 by cjcsoon2brn, BSN, RNTo the OP, you mention that your interested in either a MSN or PA program. I'm wondering if with your JD and all the academic hours that requires if you could go directly into an accelerated MSN program. Just out of curiousity, what was your undergrad degree in that you earned before your JD? I think that if you got into an accelerated MSN program it would accomplish a few of the goals that you mention. In an accelerated MSN program you will earn your BSN during the program and when you graduate with your MSN you will be able to be a NP or CNS in the speciality of your choice. If you are really interested in PA school then you should pursue it but I wouldn't suggest getting your BSN just to become a PA because as other users have said the nursing model and medical model to advanced practice are very different.
- 0Jun 18, '12 by PacoUSA, BSN, RNI am an attorney and just earned my BSN last month. I plan to someday incorporate my legal training in my new career, but for now I want to invest several years just working as a nurse and gaining that experience.
In about 2 weeks I will start a new job as a graduate nurse and I live in the metro NYC area. Yes, the market is saturated with new grads but I just want to be an example that it is difficult but not impossible to get a job. Remember the networking skills you learned to get a job in law? Use them, they apply in nursing too.
- 0Jun 18, '12 by craftysari44You're looking at 2 different pathways here. On the one hand, becoming an RN in certain markets is tough to get into but I think that depends on what your general or specialty practice is and the part of the country you are in. The key is getting your first 1-2 years of experience. I broke into the nursing field when DRG's were first introduced and the hospitals were afraid to hire too many nurses. I still got a job and that was because I worked as a student aid during school and was hired by that same hospital.
If you are ultimately interested in being in advanced practice there are many jobs out there...also depends on where you are and what specialty. The demand is going to greatly increase for Nurse Practitioners in the future because doctors are more expensive to hire and ARNPs can do most of the same work for less money. Hurry up and apply though because ARNPs are going to need a Doctorate to enter practice soon. PA's typically have a post-bachelor's degree and not a master's. Good Luck!

I have been experiencing paranormal events since 1963. My first memories start back at age 4 in Scarborough,Ontario ,Canada. The number of these occurrences were observed and remembered between 1967-2002, Some added with many witnesses. All nine sightings were observed only in the month of August between 1967-2002. *All were at night time, except one in 2000.
One was a "close in encounter " [CIE] of the first kind on August 4th,1977 in Scarborough/Westhill,Ontario with: Two witnesses. On August 3rd 2002, while at camp, near Bloomfield, Ontario. I witnessed two white lights moving in unison at around 2:30 am, I signaled them by flashlight and waited for a reaction. Seconds later, both lights made redirectional turns, in unison without stopping or slowing. This confirmed both lights were from one big craft moving over Lake Ontario.
Coincidentally, there were crop circles found that morning August 3rd 2002 in Howick, Quebec. There is a resemblance in the same pattern of circles,with the lights on the craft witnessed August 4,1977 - another coincidence?
I had then decided to investigate and research subject on my own after talking with local investigator -V V. In 2003,my perception of my surroundings had changed mentally/emotionally inside me. This was generated by pure shock of witnessing paranormal objects that defy our very understanding of matter, added with paranormal on the ground. In 2003, I witnessed over 16 sightings, along with 18 witnesses - 14 being during the day and continued to research various subjects that are interconnected.

Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami on Srila Prabhupada's Mud Hut in Bhubaneshwar
Oct. 11, 1989 Darshan with devotees
Srila Gour Govinda Swami: Ah, that's my revered spiritual master (Srila Prabhupada's) mercy, yes. That's his mercy, that's his causeless mercy. Anyhow, he was so merciful, he came here (Bbsr, Orissa). Stayed here 17, days in that room. He gave me a chance to serve. He's so merciful.
There was nothing here, it was all jungle. Only this mud hut. …Still Srila Prabhupada stayed here. He didn't stay in any guest house arranged for him. Srila Prabhupada told, "No, I'll stay here. Only I require this electricity"; for his dictaphone, nothing else. He was so happy here. I don't know how he got happiness here. I have nothing, I have no money, I had no men, nothing. Still he was so happy staying here. My humble service he accepted. Anyhow, he's so merciful.
And he established a center here in spite of all objections of his senior disciples (at that time). This is mercy. And he gave me many important instructions, he whispered into my ears in that room (mud hut). Not recorded. Every word was recorded at that time, the tape recorder was always on, you see?, but he drove out even his secretary, get out, get out. Just whispered in my ear. He gave me so many instructions. Why he is so merciful to me I don't know. What I've done for him? I have not done anything for him. Still I am carrying out his order best as I can.
I always feel the presence of my spiritual master. I never feel myself separated from him, therefore I feel myself secure. And every day, I could remember when I am staying here (in Prabhupada's mud hut).
I am not staying in that main Temple building, I am staying here in this mud hut next to Srila Prabhupada. My Guru Maharaja stayed here, and I feel his presence. How can you say that the Guru disappears?…So we keep this thatched house, As It Is, we never, just some remoderning may be there but, thatching must be there, because he stayed here in this house. Tirtha! This is tirtha.
Yes, isn't it?… Prabhupada was here, he stayed here therefore it is a tirtha; a place of pilgrimage, his merciful dust is here, Prabhupada's dust, isn't it? …..

Our Position on Corporal Punishment
There's a nationwide conversation happening about how we discipline our kids. Recent headlines about the child abuse charges lodged against Minnesota Vikings player Adrian Peterson, for example, have sparked considerable debate about when discipline practices such as corporal punishment cross the line into child abuse, and to what extent lawmakers should be able to decide how families discipline their children. We at Committee for Children recognize there are many perspectives on this issue, and we contend that corporal punishment has no place in our schools.
We know from the research that when children feel safe and supported, they are ready to learn. This happens in a safe and supportive learning environment, one in which all children feel welcome and respected, engaged and connected, and challenged and valued. This does not and cannot happen in a learning environment in which the threat of physical harm is used to ensure compliance with the rules. So we applaud educators across the country who are using positive, supportive discipline practices such as those outlined in the U.S. Department of Education's Guiding Principles resource guide, including the recommendation to "[p]romote social and emotional learning to complement academic skills and encourage positive behavior," (p. 7). Our vision at Committee for Children is "safe children thriving in a peaceful world," and we believe realizing this vision requires that all children feel safe and supported at school.
Committee for Children and CASEL Host Briefing for Congress
April, 2014
Educators are finding that the best way to impart social-emotional skills to students is by teaching evidence-based programs in school. To that end, nonprofits Committee for Children of Seattle and the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) of Chicago hosted a congressional briefing that focused on effective social-emotional learning programs in all stages of the educational system, from preschool through college. The briefing, titled "Social and Emotional Learning: Essential Skills for Success in School and Life," took place on Capitol Hill today.
In a complex and increasingly challenging world, children need every competitive advantage they can get. In addition to academic skills such as reading and math, students must also develop social and emotional competencies like self-control, problem-solving, and the ability to work cooperatively with others. According to educators and researchers who presented evidence to support these findings in a congressional briefing today, these skills will help students succeed not only in school but in future roles as citizens, employees, managers, parents, volunteers, and entrepreneurs.
The speakers were Joan Cole Duffell, Executive Director of Committee for Children; Maurice Elias, Ph.D., Director of Rutgers Social-Emotional and Character Development Lab; Janice Deguchi, Executive Director of Denise Louie Education Center; and Keeth Matheny, Teacher at Austin High School. Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH) gave the opening remarks.
Moderating the briefing was Tim Shriver, Ph.D., Chairman of Special Olympics and Board Chair of CASEL, who said, "I have long believed that social-emotional learning is an essential part of the educational process. Moderating today's panel was an honor, and our hope is that this effort results in greater support for SEL instruction in schools throughout the U.S."
Quotes from the briefing have been posted via live Twitter feed at #SELBriefing. And the video can be viewed in its entirety and in clips here.

Child Abuse and Trafficking: The Connection
February, 2014
At a recent event at the WA State Governor's Mansion, Committee for Children and the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center brought together groups and organizations working on the issue of trafficking, particularly as it informs policy makers and elected officials. Cultural anthropologist and Committee for Children co-founder Dr. Debra Boyer made compelling remarks and drawing the critical connect between child sexual assault and trafficking.
Impact of Media and Technology on Youth
Media and technology are changing the world as we know it. Our children are drawn to this new way of communicating, interacting and learning. The National Coalition to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation encourages parents to speak with their children openly about media and technology use and set appropriate limits and safeguards.
Impact of Exposure to Sexually Explicit and Exploitative Materials
As electronic information sharing increases, parents must consider that their child may be exposed to sexually explicit and inappropriate content and the impact these materials may have on youth and adolescents. The National Coalition to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation encourages parents to have ongoing dialogue with their children about materials they might encounter, explain possible consequences, as well as consistently monitor their children's electronic activities.
Our Programs Span the Globe
As a nonprofit, our mission is to foster the social and emotional development, safety, and well-being of children through education and advocacy—and our work extends all over the world. This short video will show you more.
Senator Kohl-Welles Honored with Visionary Leadership Award
October, 2013
Senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles (center) poses with Executive Director Joan Cole Duffell (left) and Dr. Debra Boyer after accepting a 2013 Visionary Leadership Award from Committee for Children.
On October 30, 2013, Committee for Children hosted local elected officials, community activists, and other guests in a celebratory reception honoring Washington State Senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles for her long-standing dedication to protecting Washington's children by working to prevent human trafficking and child sexual abuse. Committee for Children board member emeritus and founder of Committee for Children, Debra Boyer, introduced the Senator and presented the Visionary Leadership Award to her. Since sitting on Committee for Children's board of directors herself in the late 1980s, Senator Kohl-Welles has passed over a dozen laws in WA state aimed at protecting children from commercial exploitation and protecting them from child sexual abuse. She also has passed legislation strengthening the training teachers receive around recognizing and reporting child sexual abuse. Learn more about Senator Kohl-Welles.
Harkin's Pitch for ESEA Reauthorization
June, 2013
Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), chair of the Senate Health, Education, Pensions and Labor Committee, recently made a strong pitch for reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Read his article on why we must move forward with the ESEA.
Student Non-Discrimination Act
This week Committee for Children joined the National Safe Schools Partnership in a letter to Senator Tom Harkin, thanking him for making the Student Non-Discrimination Act part of his ESEA reauthorization bill (Strengthening America's Schools Act of 2013). The Student Non-Discrimination Act will address discrimination of LGBT students, giving them full recourse when schools fail to protect them from discrimination.
Massachusetts Safe and Supportive Schools Act
May, 2013
On May 30, 2013, Committee for Children submitted testimony encouraging the MA Legislature support S210/H520, An Act Relative to Safe and Supportive Schools. The bill:
Research shows that safe and supportive whole-school environments are a necessary foundation for improving education outcomes for all students. Educators want a way to align initiatives that make schools safe and supportive: bullying prevention, dropout prevention, truancy reduction, trauma sensitivity, and social-emotional learning.
Committee for Children supports the MA Safe and Supportive Schools Act.
Academic, Social and Emotional Learning Act of 2013
Working with CASEL, Committee for Children will be supporting the Academic, Social and Emotional Learning Act of 2013 Sponsored by Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH), this bill will expand the availability of evidence-based programs that teach students social and emotional skills, such as self-control, goal-setting, collaboration, conflict resolution and problem-solving. The bill will be introduced in Congress the week of May 5th.
A Framework for Safe and Successful Schools
Recently Committee for Children joined the National Association of School Psychologists and hundreds of other organizations in supporting their Framework for Safe and Successful Schools. This Framework will be used to call on Congress and President Obama to enact school safety policies that will genuinely support the well-being and learning of students over the long term rather than reactive strategies that may cause more harm than good.
The Framework emphasizes:
More than 100 education and children's mental health groups and experts have endorsed the recommendations.
Safe Schools Improvement Act
February, 2013
Committee for Children, along with dozens of other organizations who are members of the National Safe Schools Partnership, is enthusiastically supporting the Safe Schools Improvement Act (SSIA) as it makes its way through Congress (HR1199 in the House of Representatives and S403 in the US Senate). The SSIA will help educators effectively address the bullying and harassment that creates significant adverse consequences for students. The act will ensure that schools and districts develop policies against bullying and harassment and focus on prevention strategies.
The National Safe Schools Partnership is an informal coalition of over 100 organizations consisting of leading national education, health, civil rights, youth development, and other groups committed to ensure that America's schools are safe for children.
Seattle FOX News affiliate Q13 interviewed our executive director, Joan Cole Duffell, on March 14. The interview centered on Washington State Senate Bill 5563, which would require training for school staff in preventing child sexual abuse.
In February, Committee for Children and the Conditions for Learning Coalition hosted a Congressional briefing entitled Social and Emotional Learning: Essential Skills for School Safety, Positive Behavior and Higher Student Achievement. Speaking at the briefing were Committee for Children's Executive Director Joan Duffell; Dorothy Espelage, Ph.D. of the University of Illinois and noted researcher on bullying in schools; Lori Vollandt from the Los Angeles Unified School District; Steve Zimmer, a member of the Los Angeles Unified School District's school board; and Michael Searcy of the Detroit Public Schools. The speaker urged members of Congress to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and to include funding for social-emotional learning in the bill. Coming on the heels of the tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT, the briefing focused on ways to help kids stay safe in school by teaching social-emotional learning. Over 75 Congressional staffers were in attendance. Highlights of the briefing:
In 2011, Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) introduced the "Successful, Safe and Healthy Students" program as part of the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Very similar to the Safe and Drug Free Schools funding provided for in No Child Left Behind, this bill passed out of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pension with bipartisan support. Committee for Children supports the inclusion of this act in future reauthorization of the ESEA or as stand-alone legislation.
On Monday, February 18, Committee for Children Executive Director (and other supporters) testify on behalf of SB5563 in the Washington State Senate. The bill would require the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop and implement a training program for all school employees regarding prevention of sexual abuse; commercial sexual abuse of a minor; and sexual exploitation of a minor. In the bill, Committee for Children is invited to join the coalition of organizations to update existing materials regarding the laws related to sex offenses; how to recognize the behaviors of sex offenders; how to prevent victimization and take advantage of community resources; and how to prevent children from being recruited into sex trafficking.

Next week, Committee for Children Executive Director Joan Cole Duffell and others will be testifying in Washington's state capitol, Olympia, in support of legislation that would provide teachers training to identify and prevent child sexual abuse and child trafficking. On Monday, February 18 in the state Senate and Wednesday, February 20 in the state House, supporters of SB 5563 will share research and real-world stories about the importance of implementing a training program for school employees regarding the prevention of sexual abuse, commercial sexual abuse of a minor, and sexual exploitation of a minor. If the bill passes, Committee for Children will be invited to work with a broad coalition to update existing educational materials about the prevention of child sexual abuse.
Sponsored by Seattle Senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles, SB 5563 has bipartisan support and has been endorsed by King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg and the Archdiocese of Seattle.

Many hotels are offering gas cards to lure travelers into their cars despite rising fuel prices.
But at least one hotel chain thinks it can weather the storm.
At Homewood Suites by Hilton, advance summer bookings for the period between Memorial Day and Independence Day this year are up 10% from the same time last year.
Bill Duncan, Homewood Suites' global head, says that travelers are willing to travel if they get more for their dollars. Homewood Suites is an extended stay hotel that offers free Internet, a daily full hot breakfast, dinner some nights, and all-suite accommodations with fully equipped kitchens, eliminating the need for second rooms or meals out all the time.
RELATED: Gas prices return as destinations gear up for summer travel
RELATED: Rising fuel prices will alter summer travel plans, survey says
"There will be a big focus on value and the ability to really make your dollar stretch further," Duncan said in an interview.
The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.94 on Thursday, 23 cents higher than a year ago.
Duncan doesn't dispute that high gas prices will affect the way people travel. That said, he believes they won't give up on their summer vacations. What they will do is focus on regional travel rather than long hauls. They will drive, but probably no more than 500 miles a day, Duncan predicts.
"We've seen this before. We'll see it again," he says. "Fortunately the industry knows how to react and we have some good bookings and great growth."
The way the industry is reacting, in addition to gas cards, is by offering advance purchase summer promotions, special offers with partners such as AARP, and packages tied to local destinations.
Homewood guests, for instance, will get 10% discounts if they are members of AAA or age 50 or above. There also are seven themed packages being released every two weeks, for such activities as road trips and adventure travel.

So, if you've followed my blog for a while, you'll remember that I had a crayon box house. Red, yellow, and now green…. omg… i wished it all away, and it worked. ;D
You can click on these links to see my rooms I've repainted and somewhat redecorated. (Yellow no more…) & (Red no more…)
So today, I want to share with you my bedroom. It was green, and brown. And actually it wasn't as bad as the other rooms I've redone. But after drooling over Anthropologie and Pintrest I was wanting to redo it with something light and romantic yet, I wanted some rustic in there. I still have so many more things I really want to add. But this is the start to something….
So here is before… :p

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A man with a semi-automatic rifle opened fire at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, killing a TSA employee and wounding two other people in an attack that frightened passengers and disrupted flights nationwide, officials said.
Los Angeles police Assistant Chief Earl Paysinger said the unidentified gunman was apparently wounded following an exchange of gunfire with officers and was in custody.
Tim Kauffman, a spokesman for the American Federation of Government Employees in Washington, confirmed Friday that a Transportation Security Administration officer was killed. Kauffman said the union's information comes from their local officials in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Airport Police Chief Patrick Gannon said that at about 9:20 a.m., the gunman pulled what he described as an "assault rifle" from a bag and began firing inside Terminal 3. He then went to the security screening area, where he fired more shots and went into the secure area of the terminal, Gannon said.
Officers exchanged fire with the gunman and apprehended him; police believe he was the only shooter, Gannon said. "As you can imagine, a large amount of chaos took place in this entire incident," he said.
Some passengers who already had cleared security rushed onto the tarmac to evacuate, while others were locked down in airport restaurants and lounges. The airport was being swept as a precaution and the bomb unit was on scene.
Air traffic was affected nationwide as the Federal Aviation Administration grounded flights that had not yet departed for LAX. Some flights were still allowed to depart what is one of the nation's busiest airports. Cars were blocked from entering.
Witness Brian Keech said he heard about a dozen gunshots from inside a security gate at the terminal, which has been evacuated.
Ben Rosen was sitting at the Starbucks in Terminal 3 eating oatmeal at about 9:20 a.m. when he heard gunfire erupt and people start running in all directions and others crouching on the ground. Rosen got on the ground and another passenger said "don't worry we're safe."
Then more gunshots erupted. He grabbed his phone and tried to lie down as flat on the ground as he could. Police showed up with their guns drawn, shouting, "This is not a drill! Hands up!"
Everyone put their hands up and then were led out of the airport terminal to the international terminal, Rosen said.
As they were led out they saw broken glass from a window that looked like it'd been shot out. Rosen left his bag behind.
The Federal Aviation Administration said a "ground stop" was in affect for all flights heading to Los Angeles, meaning planes at other airports can't take off for the city, although some flights already in the air were allowed to land.
LAX air traffic controller Michael Foote said some flights were still being allowed to depart.
Foote said his colleagues in the control tower saw passengers spilling from the terminal onto the tarmac, "evacuating the building, getting out as fast as they could." Officers eventually corralled them.
Other travelers described a chaotic scene as airport security staff evacuated terminals, including onto to the tarmac. Hundreds of people remained gathered outside next to airplanes as authorities investigated what happened.
Six people were taken to the hospital, the Los Angeles Fire Department said. It's unclear whether the gunshot victims were among the group.
"People started saying there's a shooter, there's a shooter," said Natalie Morin, a senior at USC who was heading to San Francisco for a graduate school interview.
Terminal 3 is home to airlines including Virgin America, AirTran, Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air, JetBlue, Virgin Australia.

Two weeks after the Governor signed the state's tough new gun law, one city in Western New York is also trying to keep guns from falling into the hands of criminals. YNN's Kevin Jolly talked with Lockport's mayor and police chief about the new effort to keep guns off the streets.
LOCKPORT, N.Y. — Here in Lockport, just about forty minutes north of Buffalo and east of Niagara Falls, gun violence is not a big problem.
Still, Police Chief Lawrence Eggert says it's better to be proactive than reactive.
"We're trying to get ahead of the curve. You know, Niagara Falls has their issues and obviously Buffalo has a lot of issues and we get the spillover from that, so what we're trying to do here is get out there ahead of the curve, take some guns off the street before they're used in crimes," said Eggert.
Later this month, the city is holding a gun buy back in hopes of keeping guns from ending up in the hands of criminals.
"Let's say you have an older person, maybe a spouse passes away, and they have four guns in the house and they don't know what to do with them. There could come a time when those guns will be stolen or given to a relative illegally, so what we're offering is come on in, give us the guns, we'll give you a little money for them and we also have the double advantage of taking them off the street," said Eggert.
Mayor Michael Tucker says while crime is down in Lockport, last November and December saw a 27 percent spike in gun and drug related crimes in a part of the city south of Walnut Street.
That prompted the Mayor to designate it an impact zone and beef up police patrols.
"We had an incident where somebody shot a gun. I don't know what a good time to put these impact teams together, (but) it just seems to me when people start shooting that's as good a time as any," said Tucker.
Resident Stanley Wilson thinks the buyback is a good idea.
"I think that would be a good thing. It would get people to turn in guns and they could get money for it and then we wouldn't have to worry about the guns being used on the street," said Wilson.
The Gun buyback will be held February 23rd at the Lockport Municipal Building.

It's easy to believe that overfishing of the oceans is a modern phenomenon, a post-WWII industry dependent on technology and globalization to clear the sea out. While it's true that the last fifty years have seen an enormous decline in marine biodiversity, humans have been effective fishers for centuries. Callum Roberts chronicles old-time fishing in "The Unnatural History of the Sea," but a new discovery too recent to be included in his book demonstrates the fishing prowess of our forebears.
According to a BBC story, the Red Sea used to brim with giant clams that grew on shallow slopes just off shore. According to the fossil record, the clams' population dramatically dropped off with the arrival of humans in the area about 125,000 years ago.
More than a hundred thousand years of overfishing? That makes the wondyrechaun seem positively avant-garde.

11 Questions You Should Ask Libertarians to See if They're Hypocrites
Libertarians have a problem. Their political philosophy all but died out in the mid- to late-20th century, but was revived by billionaires and corporations that found them politically useful. And yet libertarianism retains the qualities that led to its disappearance from the public stage, before its reanimation by people like the Koch brothers: It doesn't make any sense.
They call themselves "realists" but rely on fanciful theories that have never predicted real-world behavior. They claim that selfishness makes things better for everybody, when history shows exactly the opposite is true. They claim that a mythical "free market" is better at everything than the government is, yet when they really need government protection, they're the first to clamor for it.
That's no reason not to work with them on areas where they're in agreement with people like me. In fact, the unconventionality of their thought has led libertarians to be among this nation's most forthright and outspoken advocates for civil liberties and against military interventions.
Merriam-Webster defines "hypocrisy" as "feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not." We aren't suggesting every libertarian is a hypocrite. But there's an easy way to find out.
The Other Libertarianism
First, some background. There is a kind of libertarianism that's nothing more or less than a strain in the American psyche, an emotional tendency toward individualism and personal liberty. That's fine and even admirable.
We're talking about the other libertarianism, the political philosophy whose avatar is the late writer Ayn Rand. It was once thought that this extreme brand of libertarianism, one that celebrates greed and even brutality, had died in the early 1980s with Rand herself. Many Rand acolytes had already gone underground, repressing or disavowing the more extreme statements of their youth and attempting to blend in with more mainstream schools of thought in respectable occupations.
There was a good reason for that. Randian libertarianism is an illogical, impractical, inhumane, unpopular set of Utopian ravings which lacks internal coherence and has never predicted real-world behavior anywhere. That's why, reasonably enough, the libertarian movement evaporated in the late 20th century, its followers scattered like the wind.
Pay to Play
But the libertarian movement has seen a strong resurgence in recent years, and there's a simple reason for that: money, and the personal interests of some people who have a lot of it. Once relegated to drug-fueled college-dorm bull sessions, political libertarianism suddenly had pretensions of legitimacy. This revival is Koch-fueled, not coke-fueled, and exists only because in political debate, as in so many other walks of life, cash is king.
The Koch brothers are principal funders of the Reason Foundation and Reason magazine. Exxon Mobil and other corporate and billionaire interests are behind the Cato Institute, the other public face of libertarianism. Financiers have also seeded a number of economics schools, think tanks, and other institutions with proponents of their brand of libertarianism. It's easy to explain why some of these corporate interests do it. It serves the self-interest of the environmental polluters, for example, to promote a political philosophy which argues that regulation is bad and the market will correct itself. And every wealthy individual benefits from tax cuts for the rich. What better way to justify that than with a philosophy that says they're rich because they're better—and that those tax cuts help everybody ?
The rise of the Silicon Valley economy has also contributed to the libertarian resurgence. A lot of Internet billionaires are nerds who suddenly find themselves rich and powerful, and they're emotionally and intellectually inclined toward libertarianism's geeky and unrealistic vision of a free market. In their minds its ideas are "heuristic," "autologous" and "cybernetic"—all of which has inherent attraction in their culture.

International Business Machines Corp.'s (IBM) PC unit piled up nearly U.S. $1 billion in cumulative losses in recent years, the company said in a filing that detailed the planned sale of the business to China's Lenovo Group.
The merger of IBM's PC business into Lenovo creates the world's third-largest personal computer maker. The merged company will be headquartered in Armonk, NY, U.S., where IBM is currently based.
IBM revealed in a regulatory filing previously undisclosed details of the finances of its money-losing PC business, which showed an accumulated deficit of $973 million as of June 30, 2004.
"The (PC) business has a history of recurring losses, negative working capital and an accumulated deficit. The ability to settle obligations as they come due is dependent on IBM funding the operations on an ongoing basis," IBM said.
Earlier in December, IBM agreed to sell its PC business to Lenovo of Beijing for $1.25 billion, plus the assumption of debt, marking the U.S. company's retreat from an industry it helped pioneer in 1981.
For the first 6 months of 2004, IBM reported net revenue for the PC division businesses sold to Lenovo of $5.2 billion and a loss of $139 million. Had IBM included the cost of deducting employee stock option expenses -- as new accounting rules in place next year would require it to do -- the company would have reported a net loss of $149 million, it said.
The filing showed IBM reported net losses at its PC business in each of the preceding 3 years, with a net loss of $397 million for 2001 -- the bottom of the PC industry slump -- improving to a net loss of $171 million in 2002.
The PC business suffered mounting losses again in 2003 of $258 million and lost money at a similar rate in the first half of 2004.
IBM disclosed that more than 50 percent of its products are manufactured through an unspecified joint venture -- an apparent reference to IBM's venture with Great Wall Technology to build desktop and notebook computers in Shenzhen, China. (Reuters)
