Making and eating home-made baked goods for breakfast can be heart-warming and yummy, but can it also be heart healthy? Yes! I am always thinking of ways to cut out the cholesterol. By eliminating butter and eggs in these Heart Smart Carrot Muffins, I offer you a good basic recipe to which you can easily add your own twist.These nutritious muffins use yogurt and whole wheat flour to get their great texture. In addition to the yogurt, other ingredients include fats that will do your body some good -- olive oil and nuts! You can vary the recipe by using your favorite fruits, nuts, and even another vegetable. I used carrots because I had too many in my fridge, but note that they are also an excellent source of vitamin A and fiber. The walnuts I used are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, and those raisins are full of mineral rich anti-oxidants.

These muffins are loaded with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables! This is a slightly different version of my Healthy Breakfast Muffins. This recipe made 32 regular sized muffins. Depending on how full you fill the muffin cups, I'd say you should get 28 - 32 muffins. Nutritional value is calculated on 30 servings (1 muffin = 1 serving).

It seems every week is National Something Week. While the something is ever changing, the purpose is generally the same, to focus public attention on some aspect of our culture. There arent enough weeks on the calendar to accommodate every something that wants our attention, so most weeks have multiple somethings. This week happens to be both National Hospital Week in the U.S. and National Doughnut Week in the U.K. I personally find this a particularly strange coincidence. Let me explain.
During my eight years on the board at Winona Health, several people there have heard me express my wish that Winona Health could somehow enjoy the same level of community pride our wonderful Bloedows doughnuts have earned. Im not kidding. If we could rank all Winona community treasures on a pride scale, Im sure our locally made doughnuts would be somewhere near the top.
At Winona Health, we think we do as good a job at healthcare as Bloedows does at doughnuts, but we dont seem to get as much love in return. Maybe its an unfair comparison. Doughnuts bring pleasure that medical procedures just cant compete with. Its the same when you compare the fun of going to the doctor with partaking in any of the great cultural and recreational opportunities our community offers. Most people who come through our doors would rather be doing something else, and thats just how it is.
But since its National Hospital Week, Ill share some thoughts on Winona Health with the hope youll agree it is one of our community treasures. Ill start by confessing that before I got involved with the organization, I was pretty ignorant and generally unappreciative of just how valuable Winona Health is to our community.
I never realized how many world class medical professionals we have in our community. Such people are in demand everywhere, but were blessed so many have chosen Winona. I think I know why. On several occasions, Ive had the pleasure of giving tours of Winona to prospective new physicians. Its fun to watch them discover all the quality-of-life elements we locals sometimes take for granted. Its an ongoing challenge to recruit top medical professionals because the demand far exceeds the supply, but its great Winona has enviable advantages that enable us to attract more than our fair share of the best.
Our community also benefits from collaborative relationships Winona Health has with other organizations. In the world of healthcare, Winona Health is classified as a primary care provider. That term covers a lot of ground, but some patients need care from specialists who just arent found in communities our size. Fortunately, some of the best specialists in the world are less than an hour away. Our Winona Health physicians are able to confidently refer patients to such doctors when specialty care is needed. When you combine the quality and convenience of Winona Health plus its referral partners, there are few places on earth that enjoy the level of healthcare we have here.
Our community also benefits from the economic vitality Winona Health injects. Not only are we one of Winonas largest employers, we are an importer of dollars into this community. Most medical bills are paid by out of town insurance companies or government payers. This brings fresh dollars into the Winona economy and helps local businesses. Businesses also tell us the availability of good healthcare for their employees and prospective employees is one of the reasons they choose to be here.
The Winona Health Board, leadership team, staff and volunteers are committed to bringing even greater value to the community through a process of continuous improvement. Teams meet regularly to find ways to do our work better. Hardly a day passes without some change that leads to better care or better patient experiences. We know its working because were listening to feedback and monitoring survey scores that show increasing patient satisfaction.
Perfection may be unattainable (although Bloedows doughnuts seem pretty close), but there are many rungs on the ladder of excellence and thats a ladder we will continue to climb.
On behalf of Winona Health, during National Hospital Week, I encourage you to take a look at Winona Health with new eyes and consider all that your local healthcare organization has to offer.
Ken Mogren is the Winona Health Board Chair.

IRS imposter scam also making the rounds in Washington
OLYMPIA — To coincide with 'Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week' (January 26-30), the Washington State Attorney General's Office and the AARP Fraud Watch Network are launching an education effort to help people protect themselves from tax scams.
Identity theft is a growing problem nationwide, and Washington is no exception. In early March 2014 the Seattle Archdiocese learned that volunteers and employees at parishes and schools became victims of a tax-identity fraud scheme.
AGO, BBB and AARP partner to combat romance scams
As more people go cyber to find love, the Washington State Attorney General's Office (AGO), the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and AARP warn of an uptick in reports of romance scams. According to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, romance scam victims lost more than $55 million in 2012. To combat this growing epidemic, consumer protection groups are spending Valentine's Day warning singles about the dangers of "catfishing."
After high-profile national data breaches, Attorney General's Office encourages consumers to safeguard data
In recognition of Data Privacy Day, the Washington Attorney General's Office (AGO) is urging businesses and individuals to take a moment to learn how to better protect information.
Neiman Marcus, a luxury specialty department store, has announced a payment card data breach. The store announced some of its customers' payment cards were fraudulently used after making purchases at its stores.
STOP.THINK.CONNECT.™ Campaign Encourages Awareness During Cyber Security Month
Better Business Bureau serving Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington and the Washington State Attorney General's Office are proud to announce their participation as partners of STOP.THINK.CONNECT.™, a global cyber security awareness campaign to help digital citizens stay safer and more secure online.
Progress has been made to protect consumer privacy, but concerns remain
SEATTLE—Attorney General Bob Ferguson, joined by 22 other state attorneys general, announced progress in their effort to work with Google to improve how it protects consumer privacy, and called on the company to offer greater transparency and more meaningful privacy controls.
SEATTLE – The Washington State Attorney General's Office is joining the Federal Trade Commission in warning consumers about a new scam targeting seniors.
Consumers should think twice before giving these companies a "second chance"
SEATTLE – Guess who is back in town? It's the door-to-door magazine sellers from out of state who appear on doorsteps claiming outrageously priced subscriptions will help fund "second chance" opportunities for inner city youth. The Washington Attorney General's Office has issued warnings about such visitors before, and is again alerting consumers to beware of these solicitors and think twice before buying their magazines.
SEATTLE – Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna today warned consumers about a text-message trap to capture financial information and drain credit card and bank accounts. Such text message scams are called "smishing."
OLYMPIA – Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna expressed gratitude to legislators today for supporting several of his 2011 legislative proposals.
Only open government bills, eminent domain bill sidelined so far
OLYMPIA – Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are again showing their support for Washington State Attorney General's proposed legislation, enabling most of his proposals to advance beyond the Legislature's first major cutoff date of the year.

In recognition of Data Privacy Day, Attorney General Rob McKenna today warned Washington residents to protect their personal information by checking the privacy settings on social Web sites and using secured networks.
SEATTLE – Attorney General Rob McKenna's bill to help fight identity theft by increasing penalties for mail theft will be considered by a legislative committee this week.
Bills to save money, foster open government and protect consumers receive bipartisan support
OLYMPIA – Legislators from both parties joined Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna today to announce proposals to save money, protect the vulnerable and make government more accountable.
SEATTLE – LifeLock – the identity theft prevention provider whose CEO published his Social Security number in advertisements – can no longer claim its services protect consumers from all forms of identity theft.
OLYMPIA — Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna and Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn, in partnership with the Entertainment Software Association Foundation andWeb Wise Kids, today announced the launch of a statewide program that uses video games to help students, teachers, and parents better understand safe use of the Internet and other technology.
If you regularly peruse the Mercer Island Reporter's police report, you have probably noticed the trend of fraud targeting seniors. Some of the crimes are new. For example, the "Grandma Scam," in which a young‑sounding person — often overseas and always posing as a grandchild — makes a breathless phone call pleading for an urgent wire transfer to pay a medical bail or to post a jail bond.
SEATTLE – While Washington has dropped from 7th to 13th in the nation per capita for identity theft cases reported to the Federal Trade Commission, many Washington residents still inadvertently put themselves at risk. Attorney General Rob McKenna will visit Bainbridge Island on April 14 and Redmond on April 25 to promote identity theft prevention and assist the public in keeping sensitive documents out of the hands of crooks.
STATEWIDE – Washington residents and news media can meet with officials from the state Attorney General's Office, U.S. Attorneys Office, Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Postal Inspection Service and local police and sheriffs departments on April 28 when they blanket the state to help educate the public about reducing their risk of becoming identity theft victims. Experts will be present at 29 locations as part of a statewide shred-a-thon organized by Washington's Law Enforcement Group Against Identity Theft, better known as LEGIT. Consumers and small businesses are invited to bring sensitive documents to be destroyed at no charge by commercial shred trucks, which are donating their services. Details at www.atg.wa.gov/Shredathon.aspx.
OLYMPIA – Attorney General Rob McKenna will conduct a press conference tomorrow on proposed legislation that would give all Washington residents the opportunity to freeze unauthorized access to their credit reports.
Olympia - Governor Chris Gregoire and Attorney General Rob McKenna have sent letters to state agency directors urging them to take steps now to protect personal information from landing in the hands of identity thieves.

That's great!
My mother and I often spend our days sending e-mails to each other back and forth. Many times they turn to the topic of Disney because we're both just huge Disney fans. The past few days we've been working on planning a big family trip in 2009 that would be me, my husband, our son, my mother and her husband. So... Disney has been a common topic these past few days.
If you were to see pictures of my mother you'd see there's no question we're related. We could in fact be twins if you compared pictures of us from the same age. But... today I received even further proof that we're related. She's a member of these forums so maybe she'll see this and get a chuckle that I shared it but I just have to. Check out one of today's e-mail threads (note there were 2 others that were Disney related)...
Jenn: "Man I'm sooooo feeling some Disney withdrawal."
Mom: "Tell me about it, the minute I get home from WDW, I can't wait to start planning to go back. It's a major addiction.... Hello, My name is Marilee and I'm a WDW-holic... And I got it bad. I swear the older I get the worse I get. I can't get enough of the place.... If you're going crazy - listen to that cd about Main Street USA - you'll fell like you're there" (referring to Lou's Audio Guide which she got me for Christmas)
Jenn: "Y'know it's so funny... I'm exactly the same. The older I get the worse it gets. The more I can't wait to go back. ESPECIALLY since I've had Aaron. It's like the one place I can just be 100% kid and no one cares."
(insert miscellaneous conversation about listening to park music on our iPods to keep us in the Disney mood when we go through withdrawal here)
Jenn: "I am seriously feeling the withdrawal bad today... I've been out on the disneyshopping.com site looking at all the stuff I can't afford. I've been on the DWT site all day between meetings. I've been looking at old pictures from Disney trips with Aaron on his site. I've been visiting the sites that showcase the old attractions etc. Just big time withdrawal."
Mom: "Quick question, don't want to interrupt quality Disney time, (I know all about that - LOL). When you think about Disney in gneral or when you go to the parks do get get misty eyed? I don't understand it, I can be just sitting and all of a sudden a Disney thought will come to my mind and I find my eyes tearing up. When I first get to MK and walk through the tunnel I'm in tears before I hit Main Street. I don't know why the emotions well up so, but even now just thinking about WDW, etc and I'm all drippy eyed...."
Jenn: "Oh yeah... that's totally me... I'm so right there with you. I just got teary as I was typing a response to a thread on DWT (that was asking what the first time you actually cried at the world was). Just reliving the moment in my head got me all misty. Heck, on a trip, it starts as soon as we go under the Disney World banner on the road to the resorts. At the hotel it's not too bad and even at Downtown I usually can keep my cool but man that first morning... especially if we get to the Ticket and Transportation center before they open the gates to let the crowds in... and it's extra magic hours... because that whole walking up to the Cast Member and showing them the card that we're staying on property and being told "go on through"... oh man! The second we get onto main street I get all misty. I usually do well to keep it from getting crazy by focusing on taking pictures. LOL!! The entire trip I'm like that though. I mean, when the first curtain opens on Carousel of Progress or the closing song at American Adventure plays. There are SOOOO many things that do it to me. You're not alone. We're going to be a mess when we all go together. I'll look at you, see tears, and start crying, and you seeing me cry will make you cry more. The men will be making fun of us!! LOL!!"
Sometimes all you need is a reminder that out there lies a better place... a better world... a Walt Disney World.Visited In: 1983, 1988, 1989 x2, 1991, 1992, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 (passholder), 2007 (x2 x3), 2008, 2009 (x2), 2010, 2011 (x2)
Detail is there to make you believe in the reality of the story youre immersed in. - Joe Rohde
That's great!
Adam ~ A Proud D23 Charter Member!
You are crazy! I am just like that. My mother has never been and has no desire to go. She just doesn't get it. That is why you all are my real family!
Dreams Really Do Come True
Is this proof that I was adopted? No one related to me by blood or marriage has this affinity for WDW.
mini-V What will you celebrate?
Adult daycare for the kid inside you.
When you wish upon a star.....
Adults are only kids grown up, anyway. WD
...That's the real trouble with the world. Too many people grow up. WD
"For those who get it, no explanation is necessary. For those who don't, no explanation will do."
My DD and I are like that. My mom likes Disney but only goes because my brother lives in Orlando and he loves Disney. But my DD and I could have had that same converstation... well, almost.

Dan Dodson wore his KewlFit 58°F Performance Cooling Vest at the Great Egyptian Omnium last weekend and had great success. The event was a 80 mile road race, followed by a 12k Time Trial, and concluded with the Sunday criterium. Dan did not finish the road race (due to an issue with him dropping his water bottle) but was able to secure a victory in the 12K Time Trial and finished in the top 10 in the criterium.
The Great Egyptian Omnium was a USA Cycling sanctioned event and Dan finished 7th overall in the general classification of cat 3's.
Here is a video of Dan pre-cooling during his warm-up for the Time Trial with the KewlFit Performance Cooling Vest.

RINGGOLD, Ga. — Since tornadoes embedded a large limb in Robert Harris' roof last week, he has been bombarded with offers from contractors to help him out.
Some have been legitimate, he believes; others, not so much. The latter category includes one who offered to remove the limb and cut up the trees that fell in his yard on Sparks Street, all for a small fee and even if his insurance company doesn't pay for the damage.
That one brought a chuckle from Harris on Wednesday.
"There's a lot of scams in here," he said.
Local authorities are warning residents with storm damage to be on their guard against tree cutting and removal services wanting to make hasty contracts before an insurance adjuster has seen the property.
"We've been asking people to be very conscious of price gouging," said Catoosa County Commissioner Jim Cutler.
In Ringgold, the sheriff's office ran a tree-cutting service out of town after officers found the business was charging residents more than $40,000 to cut and remove fallen trees from yards.
The tree service was going door to door, asking residents to sign contracts before their insurance companies were notified, said Randall Peters, an owner of Weeks and Peters Insurance Co.
A 92-year-old client of Peters' came to him in a panic Monday because he had given the company a large check over the weekend. Fortunately, the client was able to cancel the check before it went through, Peters said.
Such scams are common after a disaster, officials say.
Marietta Tree Service and Landscaping owner Tracy Langston, who has been working in Ringgold since the storm hit, said he often sees questionable companies take advantage of residents during a catastrophe. These companies set high prices and rush in to remove trees, often causing more damage because of poor work, Lang-ston said.
On Tennessee Street, Langston pointed to a house where a Bobcat had ripped a tree off the roof, scarring the front of the house. Broken branches and limbs snaked up the driveway in a path along the concrete. Instead of removing the trees along the driveway, the branches were pushed aside, Langston said.
"Please be smart," Peters said. "Don't enter into any contract or pay money until you've spoken with your insurance company."
Catoosa County officials now require contractors to have a county license to work locally. But any suspicion of fraud should be reported, Cutler said.
"If there's any questions at all, call the sheriff's office or call the county," he said.
Hall Trundle said two 100-year-old pecan trees fell on the roof of his mother's Guyler Avenue house and more than a dozen trees tumbled around the yard.
Trundle said the insurance company will pay for the trees on the house, but he'll have to pay someone himself to haul everything out of the yard.
A tree that falls and doesn't hit anything isn't covered under homeowners insurance, but if it falls on a piece of real estate — whether it's a fence, shed or house — the insurance company must pay to fix the damage, said Jay Kennamer, a Chattanooga attorney.
The biggest disputes concern who's responsible when a tree falls on a neighbor's house, Kennamer said. As long as a tree wasn't a known threat before it fell, the owner of the property the tree fell on is responsible, he said.
But Terry Baird, a State Farm Insurance agent working from the Ringgold field office, said those types of situations can be negotiable.
"We take a look at it on a case-by-case situation," Baird said.
On Wednesday, State Farm field agents were still rounding up information on clients to assess the damage, but Baird said most of the initial assessments had been completed.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Naomi!
Facts about Naomi
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Naomi's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Other Pets at Humane Society Pet Rescue and Adoption Center
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Naomi, a Gadsden Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua for sale in Gadsden, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Gadsden.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gadsden already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gadsden breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gadsden paves the way for another one to be saved.

This might win the award for the best video I saw from yesterday's teabagging coverage. Good for CNN reporter Susan Roesgen for confronting these idiotic protesters and calling out Fox News for shamelessly promoting them (H/T Jesse).
Want to know just how "fair and balanced" Fox's protest coverage was? Media Matters has the full story.

Helping to keep the pricing in the chassis, the packaging is very basic with the plain brown cardboard printed in just black. Here NZXT offers the chassis name and its place in the Classic series of cases, and even offers a rendering of the left side of the chassis to take up most of this panel.
Here NZXT offers the name of the chassis at the top, and under the handle offers a simplified version of the specifications we just went over on the last page. Also the large sticker at the bottom indicates the model number of the chassis inside the box, and here it shows we have the white version.
Around the back there are six images shown to display the design and detail, the internal padding, the removable bays, the removable bay covers, the expansion slot count, and it finishes with an image of the front I/O panel. At the bottom is a description of the Classis series and more specifically what the H230 offers, repeated in four languages.
That leaves us with this last panel to look at, and here, along with the brand and name of the chassis, the entire length of this panel is then taken up with a rendering of the front of the chassis, so you can admire the simple and sleek styling.
Inside of the box, this H230 chassis was wrapped in a clear plastic liner to keep the shiny paint and plastic in perfect shape for the customer. To keep the chassis from getting damaged from larger impacts in transit, NZXT used thick Styrofoam end caps that did a great job of delivering an almost perfect chassis to me.

Nope, we're good.
I am finding Starbucks a better fit in Epcot over MK but I do think Disney/Starbucks could have done much better theming the inside. Other than first thing in the morning when I must have a jolt of something (though I do prefer Disney's Joffery Coffee) the draw to me would be to sit down and enjoy the brew and cool off for a few minutes, lack of seating is a big minus for me. Thinking Disney/Starbucks were anticipating all day, long lines that didn't happen at MK.
At the MK, I'm still not over Disney booting the Main Street Bakery. There were many things we always purchased at the Bakery and with the change over the coffee would have improved anyhow since Joffery is replacing the icky NesCafe at all Quick Service in park and resort. Just wish they would have picked a different venue, miss the CinnRoll.
Prices higher than our local but around Airport prices.

If you are like me…ahem…you still have some last minute gifts to come up with for Christmas. Please tell me I'm not the only one!
Well, if you do have any last minute gifts that you need to get together, these DIY spice mixes are super fast, easy, and affordable. And they make great gifts for anyone who likes to cook!
Package them up in cute little glass jars decorated with some ribbon and nice labels, and you have a lovely gift that any cook would be glad to receive!
I always make big batches of these three spice mixes to keep on hand at all times. They come in so handy and taste so much better than the packaged mixes that you would buy in the store. Plus they are way cheaper to make at home. So go ahead and make some for yourself while you're at it!
We use this all the time to make ranch dressing and veggie dip. It is sooo good. You can use it in any recipe that calls for ranch dressing mix with great results!
This is my favorite homemade taco seasoning. It has a rich deep flavor that really enhances your taco meat. When I make ground beef taco meat, I use 2 1/2 TBSP per pound of meat. I also use it when I make chicken tacos with delicious results.
Sometimes I will mix some of this into sour cream or cream cheese and then layer it with lettuce, cheese, meat, black olives, salsa, etc., to make a taco dip. Mmm…very good!
One of my husband's favorite meals is Cajun Chicken Pasta – Penne noodles, Homemade Alfredo Sauce, and grilled chicken all sprinkled with this cajun seasoning. It is delicious!
This cajun mix is very versatile and can really be put on almost anything…pasta, chicken, fish, eggs, meat, whatever!
Do you have any favorite homemade spice mixes to share? And do you still have presents to put together or am I the only one?
This post has been shared with Monday Mania and Fight Back Friday.

"This was really good! I changed some things...I used chicken sausage, the spinach and red onion one. Also I didn't have mustard seeds so I just spiced things up with cumin and cayenne.

Twitter growth outpaces Facebook
Is Twitter set to usurp Facebook as the reigning social channel? New figures from GlobalWebIndex certainly suggest so.
According to the online consumer behaviour analysis company, Twitter may have already surpassed half a billion members, having grown by 83 million in just six months. GlobalWebIndex now estimates that one third of the active global internet population has a twitter account, accounting for a 40% leap in active users over the last six months.
Facebook, meanwhile, grew its active user base by 33% to 693 million during the same period, while Google+ saw an increase of 27.7% to 343 million active users (bumping it, allegedly, to second place for social networks in terms of active users, according to GlobalWebIndex).
This means Twitter is now the fastest growing social platform in the world, and amid reports that Facebook lost 600,000 UK users last month, it's certainly on course to becoming the most popular, too.
This of course represents huge opportunities for brands, but as the GlobalWebIndex official blog post says, this does not come without challenges:
"We also need to consider the changing nature of usage. The growing interaction with brands makes customer service and staff interaction a must if Twitter is employed as a communication channel. Also, the growing usage of Twitter as a discovery tool means that content is absolutely critical for brands. Overall, content is the ever growing mega opportunity of the new social landscape."

At that instant, Diamond Dave was at the zenith of his celebrity. By then, Van Halen, the 1978 self-titled debut by the mega-band he fronted, was firmly established as a bar-band-metal classic for the ages, and the group's most recent album, 1984, had reached an even more rarefied level of mass popularity thanks to "Jump," a single that was all about the man with the leonine mane and the bulging crotch. On top of that, "California Girls," a Beach Boys cover featured on Crazy From the Heat, Roth's just-issued solo EP, was a top-five smash. If he wasn't the biggest rock star on the planet, he was undeniably the most fun.
So why didn't I wail "I'm not worthy!" and drop to my knees in front of him? For one reason, our supervisors at Tower constantly warned underlings like yours truly not to gush over the oodles of luminaries who shopped at the store. For another, my peers would have been appalled by so brazen a display -- because acting cool was the golden rule.
So when Roth ambled over to the news rack next to the counter where I was stationed and grabbed a magazine, I gave him the briefest of glances before returning to an article I'd been reading. But then I got the feeling that someone was staring at me, and it turned out to be Dave. He pivoted away, grinning, when my gaze met his, and I did, too. A moment later, however, I felt his eyes on me again, and when I looked up, he looked down, starting the cycle all over again. This went on for a couple of minutes -- long enough for me to realize that Roth didn't pine for privacy like many of his chart-topping contemporaries. No, he wanted to be noticed, needed to be noticed, had to be noticed immediately, if not sooner -- which may have been why he was clothed in Spandex. Either that, or the party that had started the night before wasn't over yet.
This encounter quickly became a test that I was determined to pass, and in the end, I did. But Dave's wish was granted anyhow: A trio of teenagers who arrived toward the end of our strange variation on a stare-down went apeshit at the sight of this golden god, and as the threesome clustered around him, he looked as happy as an overripe virgin at a nymphomaniac convention.
For years thereafter, the amount of attention lavished upon Roth steadily diminished. Amid accusations that he was spending too much time on his own material, among other sins, he deserted or was booted out of Van Halen shortly after his Tower visit -- different parties have different stories. But while millions of the group's enthusiasts (including me) lamented his departure, subsequent VH long-players, made with veteran screecher Sammy Hagar, sold in far greater numbers than the discs Dave put out on his own. He got another injection of the publicity he craves in the mid-'90s, when Hagar was canned and his former mates -- Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony -- invited Roth back into the fold. Unfortunately, the reunion fell apart before it really got started, prompting Van Halen's ill-fated teaming with Extreme vocalist Gary Cherone and David Lee's return to fame's fringes.
Not that Dave would ever allow himself to fade away quietly. The most quizzical of his recent comeback attempts is David Lee Roth's No Holds Bar-B-Que, a long-form video that's one of the most bizarre vanity projects of all time. The ingredients of Bar-B-Que include seemingly identical bimbo triplets alternately attired as mermaids, cowgirls, pregnant housewives, catwomen and rubber fetishists; an omnipresent midget; lots of faux club music; and Big Dave mugging for the camera, changing costumes (he looks excellent in a sailor outfit), and performing martial-arts maneuvers accompanied by an all-too-faithful cover of Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street." Roth's publicist says a release date for the video hasn't been set, and no wonder: The person most likely to enjoy it has his name in the title.
Don't worry about Diamond Dave, though, because his latest scheme -- a tour that pairs him with Hagar, his Van Halen replacement -- is utterly irresistible. Suddenly, he's back on the press's A-list: He's been quizzed by Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Howard Stern and more, more, more. As a result, some of his favorite one-liners -- like his claim that he's had more hits than Beethoven -- are getting a bit worn around the edges, and have been omitted. But Roth has plenty of other quips at his disposal, as the stream-of-consciousness rants below demonstrate. Obviously, he's rested and ready for anything.
Westword: Whose idea was the tour?
David Lee Roth: I thought of this on the Ides of March, March 15. I was trying to come up with something that would be a little unpredictable, because predictability is the cardinal sin of the music industry. How many more times are we going to listen to, "What are you going to do next, Lenny?" "I'm gonna make an album." "Oh, great. What's after that?" "Well, um, gonna go on tour." "Killer. What's after that, Lenny?" "Um, I'm gonna make a video." Come on. That's kind of like when a family member breaks down and tells you they're taking Prozac, and you have to pretend you don't know anything about it: "Really? What's that do?" But when you hear about Roth-Hagar, it's unexpected, yet it's patently obvious. And I think if you watch CNN at any point these days, what is more poignant than two warring superpowers finally showing a little unity? Jesus Christ, if Diamond Dave and Slap-happy Sam can make this happen -- anything's possible!

When in april are you going? a bunch of us on the website are going in may if your there at that time
I have had the greatest experiences in Walt Disney World! Ever since I can remember I have been going to Disney World. My first experience was when I was only a year old. I must have fallen in love with it then. Since 1981, I have been to Walt Disney World 23 times. Not bad for living in New York. I had a great experience my senior year in high school. I was lucky enough to march with my high school marching band in the Spectromagic Parade. What an experience!! I took some of my college friends for New Years Eve in 2002-2003. Then I came back down the same year as an instructor with my old high school marching band. We marched through EPCOT showing off our NY band. I will return this April for another trip and plans are beginning to bring the band back in Spring of 2006. How can there be any better place on the earth!!!! Hooray for Disney!:mickey:
April 18th-24th. It is the week I have off from work (Spring Break for my school) Wish I could join you all in May.

- Leadership
- Management of employees
- Policy and strategy
- Partnerships and resources
- Processes

"Excellent recipe. My husband and I found ourselves some alone time and a couple of beautiful filets. I used a pound of mushrooms, and substituted 3/4 cup of green onion in lieu of the shallots, a cup of beef broth and increased the flour to 2Tbs. to accomodate the increased liquid. I found the mustard to be a bit to much and will reduce to one T..."
"I have always used the cook type of pudding for these types of pies. After trying this I will never go back to boxed pudding mix. This is so rich without being to rich and the consistency is perfect, I found myself rolling it around in my mouth like a good wine. Excellent!"
"This is hands down the absolute BEST blueberry anything I have ever had in my life!!"
"These were excellent and fast! I have also used this recipe with a cherry pie filling and got excellent results. If time is short and you have to come up with something quickly, I highly recommend this recipe."
"I have used this recipe several times at family gatherings and it is always a huge hit. This is particulary good since it is not to sweet. I use the limeade instead of the pineapple and use a dry champagne, although if I were wanting a sweeter punch it would be just as easy to add the pineapple and use an Asti Spumanti in lieu of the dryer champ..."

Trends in Technology: The Details of SNMP
Greater details
First let me introduce a couple of acronyms: MIB and OID. MIB stands for management information base. This is just a small file (which you can copy and paste to a text editor if you want to see what it really looks like) that (conceptually) is like a map that tells an SNMP manager what variables are available to be read and where they are. (If you want to get in to more details about how a MIB is constructed then check out the IETF RFC 1157). OID stands for object identifier. The format of the OID is a string of integers separated by decimals. The MIB is basically a structured collection of OIDs.
If you have a device that supports SNMP and will operate as an SNMP agent, the first thing you will need to do is to obtain the MIB from the device manufacturer. Usually that comes with the device when it's new out of the box (on a CD). Sometimes you can obtain it by browsing the device itself, or by obtaining it from the support Web page of the device. If the device supports SNMP then the MIB will be available somehow.
There are at least two devices out there that can function as SNMP managers: Audemat Relio and Burk ARC16 PlusConnect.
Take for example the case in which two Relios talk to one another; one being a manager, one being the agent. As the user you would do three things: Find the MIB for Relio (downloads from the unit), and make it available for the Scripteasy software (upload to a location accessible by Scripteasy). In the script on the manager, identify the IP address of the agent, and specify the MIB to be read when querying the agent.
Scripteasy is a scripting program done completely with symbols -- all laid out visually. It's particularly easy to see the OIDs with Scripteasy, so it makes for a good example.
In Figure 3, you see part a small part of a script running on the agent. I've highlighted a symbol that corresponds to a temperature probe in our transmitter space. On the right, you see I've highlighted the OID. Figure 4 shows the script on the manager. The symbol you see corresponds to SNMP get (in this case, getting an analog reading from the agent). You see that I've highlighted the OID again; obviously it's the OID from the agent (note the OID is the same). You can also see where I referred to the agent in the link to section (right above the OID).
What you will then have is a remote, real-time meter on the manager Relio that corresponds to the same meter over on the agent Relio. Making dynamic graphs with information gleaned by way of get request is a common function with SNMP. I should also note that this same agent will respond to multiple managers; I could paste this same analog temperature meter in multiple places, all at the same time.

Spinach is not, claims the press release, a musical or an opera. It is a play where every word happens to be sung. For those for whom the prospect of 80 minutes of nothing but recitative invokes feelings of dread, fear not: Spinach is more of a conventional musical than it likes to admit. More importantly, it's a classy comedy thriller with great performances from its quartet of actors.
Cassandra Compton (Kate) and Ben Gerrard (Tom) in Spinach at the King's Head, London Photo: Tristram Kenton
Cassandra Compton and Ben Gerrard are engaging and sparky as the couple who awake to find themselves tied up together, with no memories of each other or how they got there. Their attempts to piece together the events of the previous days provide the core of the piece - and it is here where the sung-through nature of the music is most effective, allowing the pair to flit between present and slowly emerging past with a frequency that a musical with standard show numbers would not permit. It's fun and frenetic, which does much to hide that there's not a huge amount of story progression going on.
Claire Greenway and Craig Whittaker provide accomplished support, with composer Simon Waters giving both of them solo numbers that would not be out of place in a show that was more obviously a standard musical, and which each deliver with enjoyably infectious conviction.
The denouement of the show's thriller element may be easy to guess, but when the route to get there is such fun, it's churlish to quibble. Whether it's a musical, an opera or a play, it's good theatre.

And if SPELLRIGHT happens to convince some kid to fall in love with letters and words? All the better.
The small group of bankers, lawyers and software consultants who assemble at the MATTER studio one winter afternoon look out of place among the street-art images for sale, the poster that proclaims, "Buy some shit today. Jack shit," the giant yellow gas-station sign that advertises Super Unleaded for $1.99. The visitors are gold-level members of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, and they're here to hear about the studio's unique selling tools from Griffith — who just happens to be a few minutes late.
When he finally arrives, wearing a gray sports jacket and scarf emblazoned with his definition of graphic design, Griffith seems a bit harried. He's just come from two back-to-back business meetings; to make matters worse, the slide projector he needs for his presentation isn't yet set up and a giant plywood G is blocking part of the projector screen. But once everything is arranged and the formal presentation begins, Griffith quickly settles into a groove.
As Griffith likes to say, "I give good meeting." He rattles off concepts such as product differentiation, target consumers and mapping return on investment; he discusses succeeding in noisy business climates; he mentions the branding work and research projects that MATTER has completed for the likes of Virginia Tech, the National Science Foundation, the medical device company Byers Peak. And all the while, the projector screen shows examples of the intricate business charts and visual aids that MATTER creates for its clients: riots of arrows and images and text that resemble stylized versions of Rube Goldberg machines.
Griffith knows that work for people like this is what will pay MATTER's bills. But he also knows that his blend of sarcasm bans, typeface esoterica and pooping poodles isn't for everybody in the corporate world — and he shed his chameleon skin a long time ago. "I'm not the guy who doesn't want to make money," he says. "I just don't want to short-circuit myself to do it."
While his company's unique approach has resulted in some stellar business relationships, it doesn't work for all potential clients. "There are a lot of design studios that want to work with everyone, and that just doesn't happen here. That is not what Rick is about," says Griffith's wife, who handles the business aspects of the studio. "Rick can be brutally honest about things, and for some people, that doesn't fit."
That brutal honesty, as well as a penchant for hijinks, has earned Griffith some detractors. A few years ago, an AIGA Colorado event highlighting his work was called off after complaints from a local graphic designer apparently offended by Griffith's punk tendencies. And Jason Otero, who founded MATTER with Griffith, split from the firm soon after and relocated to New York City. "I worked with Rick many, many years ago and would prefer to leave that door closed," Otero says in an e-mail.
Ever since he sent that giant, type-swathed knife, Griffith says, "there have been a few people in this town who have consistently been horrified by my work. The reason why some people don't get me is the same reason why other people do get me."
Still, he insists he's grown older and wiser and left many of his boneheaded ways behind. Besides, there's no time left in his days to trifle with artistic rivalries, what with all the client meetings to attend and exhibits to curate and type-oriented excursions to arrange and once-a-year print sales to plan. It's not easy being big and bold, always standing out from the crowd like a single, distinctive letter on an otherwise blank page.
"He is carving a path that hasn't been carved before," says Wurtzel. "He is not a white man going down the same old path. The traditional type of businessman who owns a design firm doesn't fit Rick's profile. How can I expect what he does not to take so much work?"
Sometimes, though, that work is too much even for Griffith. One night in early November, after participating in a printing conference at the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum in Wisconsin, Griffith started driving to Chicago, where he had a 6 a.m. flight the next morning. At some point he dozed off behind the wheel, colliding with a semi-trailer.
"I was as fortunate as anyone could be while colliding with a semi at 70 miles per hour," he says. "'Fortunate' is the only way I can describe it. 'Fortunate' covers a lot of stuff in my life." He walked away with little more than hematomas in both of his legs, and even managed to make his flight home.
Still, the experience "changes a few things for me," he admits. For example, he pays heed to the alarm he's set on his iPhone that goes off every morning at 6:45 a.m., a warning that's labeled "Last wake-up call to change the world."
"The pressure is on," he says. "All we have is time, talent and objectivity."
Even after the fish tank of mojito mix runs dry at MATTER's eleventh annual print sale and party, Rick Griffith is still going strong.

...between one of the port orleans resorts with the deluxe dining plan, or the beach club with the regular dining plan, which would you pick? I've used the dining plan before and its definetly enough food for me, but I'm not so sure about my bf...
I've never stayed at either of these hotels but I would LOVE to stay at the beach club. Oh also, this trip isnt till 2011 (I REALLY like planning trips haha.. a bit of an over-planner) and there is a pretty good chance it will turn into a honeymoon teehee.
Also, has anyone ever used the Premium or Platinum dining plans before? Based on my research they seem like theyre not really worth it even if i'm planning on doing a lot of the "extras" that they come with (like la nouba, parasailing, spa treatment). Anyways, I was just looking into a bit and I think I've already decided its not worth it but I just wanted to know if anyone has ever used it and thought it was worth it/not worth it.

One thing has become very clear in Heyneke Meyer's messages these last few days. His emphasis on kicking. It is sad really when one can see the potential in almost all of the players present. South African rugby fans are making a lot of noise on general team selection and it generally tends to be the same. Play the players who have that something extra in them.
Yet Meyer is ignoring these calls. He is steadfastly sticking to what he perceives he knows. I use the words perceive in this case because Meyer has done his fair bit of backtracking on stances he has taken. To highlight the most obvious one is the case of flyhalf. The country has been talking about Lambie and Jantjies a lot, and not just the last few games but for a while. Yet Meyer seems to stand fast on denying there talent. One thing I knew to be bull when he talked about it was Lambie's perceived lack of tactical kicking. The kid has always been brilliant at it yet Meyer has come out and said that Lambie needs to work on his. What rubbish!
The kid probably has the biggest rugby brain and cool head in the entire squad. His tactical kicking has always been good, his defence has always been rock solid and his attacking acumen is probably one of the best in the country. Elton has shown the glimpses of brilliance we know he has. Has he been as steady as Pat? No but he hasn't been up and down like a yo-yo either. Yes he had a shocker in the semis to a degree but he didn't play that badly either. Yet Jantjies hasn't even made the bench.
Morné Steyn has had one of those seasons that any normal person would want to forget… and quickly. He hasn't been his metronomic best this whole season. Yet he makes the bench based on one good game for the Bulls to make the semis of the Currie Cup, yet has another shocker against the Sharks a week later. Other than his boot he offers nothing yet he gets the nod because Meyer perceives him to be a better tactical kicker. Well someone should tell Meyer that Steyn's kicking has been so bad this season that he even made Peter Grant's kicking out of hand look sublime.
Meyer harps on about tactical kicking and kicking to posts yet not once has he said anything about a complete game, something Lambie and Jantjies can offer. Steyn only offers kicking. Which in a way scares me when you think about what Meyer might be thinking about, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has. Meyer has made no secret about the fact that he doesn't rate Lambie. He has put his favourite player on the bench in Morné. Does that mean Lambie will be subbed after 20 minutes? Hmm. Also by picking Morné, who has had a shocking season, above someone like Jantjies, who has had a good season, are you not psychologically telling Jantjies that you don't rate him either?
Now on to Zane Kirchner. Captain Niknaks has been solid but other than his placement and kicking out of hand he has offered about as much as a church mouse to the church coffers. Zane's kicking, Meyer explains, is what gives him the nod above someone like Taute. Taute can hoof a ball miles, yet he can also run and is an extremely strong tackler. Zane doesn't offer those last two at all. When Captain Niknaks starts dancing on the spot like a jack rabbit… wait I shouldn't liken him to the jack rabbit because the jack rabbit can actually side step. When Captain Niknaks prances on the spot like a jack-in-the-box he becomes the easiest target to tackle.
Taking Taute to 15 and bringing on Juan at 13 would have made perfect sense. You have a kid who knows the defensive lines of outside centre patrolling outside centre. Plus you bring on someone who is tenacious in his defence and someone who in the blink of an eye can actually do what a jack rabbit does, evade would be predators!
Almost the entire country bar the truly fanatical Bull supporter can see that removing Zane and Morné from the equation greatly improves our chances against the Irish, so why can't Meyer? All I know is that if we do lose this game on the Emerald Isle, Meyer will have a lot of explaining to do, not to the South African fans only, but to a certain Mr Gwede Mantashe too.

While the NHL world seems focused on moving a team – any team – to Winnipeg, we thought we'd take a moment to remember the other Canadian city that lost an NHL franchise in the 90s. Fans of the Quebec Nordiques have been pretty vocal over the last year in their attempts to bring a hockey team back to Quebec City.
A group called "Nordiques Nation" decided to 'invade' a game between the Atlanta Thrashers and New York Islanders in Long Island on December 11th to show their support for a Quebec hockey team. They did the same thing during an April 10th game in New Jersey against the Bruins.
Nordiques fans have been very loud about supporting their relocated team over the past season, largely due to the Nordiques Nation website. The site, in French, has organized and participated in a number of events in support of bringing an NHL team to Quebec City including "La Marche Bleu," (The Blue March) which organized Nordiques fans on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City:
There have even been attempts to build an NHL-sized arena that would house a new Quebec team. However, if the Coyotes stay in Phoenix and the Thrashers either remain in Atlanta or move to Winnipeg, what team would be coming to Quebec City? Some fans, and the Le Soleil newspaper in Quebec, have now set their sights on the Florida Panthers.
And, while we're at it, what about Kansas City?
While Kansas City may not have the desperate and dedicated fanbase that Quebec City and Winnipeg do, it does have a beautiful, NHL-ready arena that does not currently have an NHL team or an NBA team as an anchor tenant. The Sprint Center could really use one of those.
A Google Translation of the Le Soleil article tells us that "according to the professor specializing in sports marketing from Laval University André Richelieu, several NHL teams are subject to change of address within a horizon of between three and five years."
It lists the Coyotes, Blue Jackets and Panthers as teams that could possibly move at some point.
It looks like NHL relocation stories will be news for a while…

Possible grenade, gunfire blast Gary car wash
by Lori Caldwell email@example.com | 648-3258 August 8, 2012 4:42PM
Gary police detective Tom Aguilar gathers evidence outside a 5th Avenue car wash where an explosive device was detonated and multiple rounds were fired into the building Wednesday Aug. 8, 2012. ATF agents talk with the business owner in the background. | Andy Lavalley~Sun-Times Media
Updated: September 10, 2012 1:38PM
GARY — A huge boom, then gunfire, broke through the normal traffic sounds on busy 5th Avenue in Brunswick on Wednesday afternoon.
No one was injured, and Gary police, who were on the scene for at least four hours, could provide little information about the incident.
ATF Resident-Agent-in-Charge Jerry Gordon, who works in the Merrillville office, confirmed that "some type of explosive device" was thrown at a newly opened car wash.
"We are going to be assisting the Gary Police Department in their investigation," Gordon said.
People in the area heard the blast shortly after noon.
Evidence at the scene suggested the blast was caused by a grenade-type explosive.
The brick exterior of Hassle-free Tires and Car Wash, 5311 W. 5th Ave., was damaged.
No one was injured in the blast, which was followed by gunfire.
Gary police supervisors on the scene called Crime Scene Investigation technicians to photograph the scene and collect evidence left from the blast.
Police spokeswoman Cpl. Gabrielle King said the call came in as "shots fired" and she had no information about an explosion.
Cmdr. Jon Cooros, who is in charge of the patrol division, sent Crime Suppression Unit officers to the area to stand by, but said later he had no details about what happened there.
The building has been used as a car wash on and off for many years, but the current owners have been operating there for a few weeks.
Gordon said Gary investigators would be handling the case.
It is not clear which detective would be leading the investigation.

These freaky-looking ads from Korea promote the wide angle feature of the Samsung CCTV equipment.
The print ads are photoshopped in a way that merges three images of the model into one to portray the wide angle features of Samsung CCTV.
The ads were photographed by Junghoe Kim for Cheil Worldwide, Seoul with creative director Joungrack Lee, and art director Jaewon Choi.

To be fair, they just arrived, so we have not actually USED them yet. We just opened the boxes and checked them and I sat on one for a while. They look nice, operate well and are comfortable. Scotchguard tag attached, that's a nice bonus that I didn't think about. Fabric has a bit of a weave to it, that looks nice. I like the tan color I chose. The delivery time was impressive, 4 days with standard free shipping option. I was a little nervous trusting delivery time for chairs that I needed for the holidays. I'm assuming part of the price of the chair covers the free shipping, and I might have gotten lucky and saved ** ** per chair to purchase retail. That's OK. I didn't have to go from store to store looking for them and hope they're in stock, or load them in and out of my vehicle. We tried to purchase some chairs at a Black Friday sale and dealt with that hassle to discover already sold out at 7am. This is so much better.
Excellent quality. Much more comfortable than a plain metal chair. My wood spindle-back dining room chairs look nice, but they are uncomfortable for a long period of sitting- playing cards, board games, etc. These chairs are perfect for that and great when you just need extra seating.
I loved these chairs, nicely padded, sturdy and scotch guarded too. Everything I expected in a more expensive chair.
The chairs arrived in just 3 days and were in perfect condition. They are better than described and we are very pleased. I will be ordering more soon as they will enable us to host of Messianic Fellowship with seats for all!
chairs were as advertised and shipping time was fabulous. From day i ordered and time i received was 5 days. chairs are solid and identical to chairs we use at church.
Good quality chairs. Bought CafeBeige/Beige, they look light beige on the picture,but the actual color is more like dark coffee (taupe)/ fabric more brown than beige. Cannot be reupholstered. Very disappointing.
Bought these chairs to have extras around for meetings. Excellent the quality. They are sturdy and comfortable,
These chairs are really comfortable and very sturdy! I would highly recommend them!
Nice quality, will hold up well. Bought to have as extra dining seating when large groups come, and work exceptionally well. Comfortable and sturdy.
After years of borrowing enough folding chairs to be able to accommodate family get togethers, I'm glad that I decided to purchase these chairs prior to the Christmas season. We bought 4 navy chairs and 4 grey chairs. They look great, and are comfortable. Would recommend to others.

Content Knowledge for Teacher Candidates
Teacher candidates at St. Cloud State University know the content they plan to teach and demonstrate their knowledge and abilities in a variety of settings. At the initial level, the unit fully endorses the Interstate New Teachers Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) Principles as the foundation for indicators of best practice in preparing teacher candidates. The Minnesota Board of Teaching established the Standards of Effective Practice (SEP) as the core standards for teachers that are directly aligned with the INTASC Principles. Both the INTASC Principles and SEP Standards are aligned with the conceptual framework and documented through matrices. Within programs, the Minnesota Board of Teaching Program Standards are used as the foundation of course content and these standards are also directly aligned with the professional standards used by specialty organizations. Syllabi in the professional education unit are aligned with appropriate standards as well as the conceptual framework.
During spring semester 2007, the unit submitted 36 programs to the Minnesota Board of Teaching for extensive program review. The program review process requires programs to submit evidence that candidates have the opportunity to learn and demonstrate the content standards. Data are also submitted to the review team to demonstrate that candidates have the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to be successful. This past year, 33 programs received full approval until 2014; two programs (English as a Second Language (ESL), Middle School) are still out with reviewers pending approval. The Health Education Program was initially submitted to the Board of Teaching, but was subsequently pulled from the review process. The Health Education Program was suspended fall semester 2007 and will be integrated into the Physical Education Program over the next several years.
All programs within the unit incorporate four to six transition points whereby performance can be monitored as candidates work to gain the knowledge, skills, and dispositions as outlined in institutional and professional standards. Transition points typically involve admission, assessments prior to clinical experience, assessments during clinical experiences, program completion, and post-graduation follow-up. Programs vary in the number of transition points; however, all programs include these basic benchmarks.
Candidates at the initial and advanced levels demonstrate content knowledge in a variety of ways throughout their program. The Minnesota Board of Teaching requires that all candidates successfully pass the Praxis I - Pre-Professional Skills Tests (PPST) for licensure. The PPST includes basic assessments of math, reading, and writing. Because of a focus on access and opportunity, Minnesota statute prohibits public institutions of higher education from requiring candidates to pass the PPST for admission into teacher education programs. As a result, programs require that candidates take, but not pass, the PPST as part of the admission transition point. A review of Praxis I data indicates that candidates are performing above the 80 percent standard; however, this is slightly lower than State pass rates. The three-year follow-up data indicate a pass rate equal to the State pass rate.
The Minnesota Board of Teaching also mandates that candidates successfully pass the Praxis II content exam before licensure is awarded. Candidates seeking an additional licensure or endorsement must also successfully pass the Praxis II content exam. A review of Praxis II trend data at the unit level indicates strong performance by candidates and pass rates exceed the 80 percent pass rate requirement of NCATE.
Program pass rates also remain high according to trend data. An exception to that rule is the pass rates within the elementary education program (Academic Content) that have dramatically declined across the State as a result of requiring teacher candidates to pass the Praxis II content exam in their specialty area (typically middle school). A specialty area is similar to a minor whereby candidates take three to five classes in the specialty area. Clearly, candidates do not have the knowledge of someone who majored in the content area; therefore, they are not passing the exam at high levels. Because this is a problem across the State, the Board of Teaching has made a commitment to change this requirement and has taken steps to initiate that process. To provide support for candidates, the College of Education Praxis Center has provided additional resources and training.
Key assessments at the initial level used to measure content knowledge include course measures, performance-based assessments, cooperating teacher surveys, follow-up studies, and employer surveys. A review of content knowledge trend data at the unit level indicates strong, consistent performance over time. Finally, an analyisis of grades for candidates in the unit as compared to students within the institution also provide a positive perspective related to content knowledge.
Advanced Candidates
At the advanced level, the unit endorses the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), which are aligned with the conceptual framework. Advanced programs also use standards from specialty organizations (i.e., CEC) that are directly aligned with State content standards when candidates are pursuing a licensure or an endorsement.
Candidates pursuing licensure at the advanced level must successfully complete the Praxis II Content Exam. Trend data for candidates at the advanced level indicate strong performance over the past five years. Between 2002 and 2007, 620 Praxis II content exams were taken by advanced program completers. Advanced completers passed in 605 instances, yielding a pass rate across years and programs of 97.6 percent. By far, the largest plurality of post-baccalaureate completers proved to be special education majors, who took 307 of 620 Praxis II examinations (49.5%), with a pass rate 99.0 percent (304/307).
A variety of key assessments are used at the advanced level including portfolio assessments, clinical and field evaluations, comprehensive examinations, and course-based measures. An analysis of data on advanced candidates indicates that candidates do have the content knowledge to be successful.
Summary: Candidates at the initial and advanced levels have the content knowledge to be successful in enhancing student learning as evidenced by a variety of internal and external data sources. Pass rates of national exams are consistently high within the unit and feedback from cooperating teachers and employers validate the belief that candidates are prepared in terms of content knowledge.
