Sample Rubrics and Development Resources
Rubrics help colleges/universities and instructors understand student achievement of college-wide learning outcomes or course objectives. Frequently used when grading student assignments, or reviewing samples of student work, rubrics are often uniquely created for each course or tailored for specific outcomes. The benefits of using rubrics in courses can be observed by both the instructor and student. According to Suskie (2009), rubrics:
Help clarify vague, fuzzy goals
Help students understand your expectations
Help students self-improve
Inspire better student performance
Make scoring easier and faster
Make scoring more accurate, unbiased, and consistent
Improve feedback to students
Reduce arguments with students
Improve feedback to faculty and staff (p. 139)

The use of AAC&U's VALUE Rubrics to assess student learning at colleges and universities around the nation is the central focus of this issue.
Sample Rubrics and Development Resources
15 Essential Liberal Learning Outcomes are outlined by AAC&U. Broken down into 3 sections, the rubrics were developed to help create a shared understanding of student learning at colleges and universities across the country:
1. Intellectual and Practical Skills: inquiry and analysis; critical thinking; creative thinking; written communication; oral communication; reading; quantitative literacy; information literacy; teamwork; problem solving
2. Personal and Social Responsibility: civic knowledge and engagement - local and global; intercultural knowledge and competence; ethical reasoning; foundations and skills for lifelong learning
3. Integrative and Applied Learning: integrative and applied learning
Bowling Green State University
BGSU has identified six university-level learning outcomes and developed rubrics for each which are available on its Assessment website. Each rubric is designed using a developmental sequence, from beginner to advanced, in order to assess proficiency in course assignments, work duties, or co-curricular activities.
California State University - Fresno
CSU-Fresno houses a Rubric Library through its Office of Institutional Effectiveness. Sample rubrics are available for some of its programs as well as university-level learning outcomes.
Sample rubrics available for its Liberal Studies Skills.
Described on its website as "a community of practice for teaching and learning with open/community-source tools," Opened provides resources for rubrics from different higher education institutions across the country.
In partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services, AAC&U, and the ACRL Assessment Immersion Program, the RAILS (Rubric Assessment of Information Literacy Skills) Project provides resources for academic librarians and faculty to enhance their skills of assessing information literacy outcomes. Its intended outcomes include "a suite of rubrics that can be used by academic librarians and disciplinary faculty to assess information literacy outcomes;a transferable model for analyzing rubric scores; training materials for librarians, faculty, and LIS students who seek to use rubrics for information literacy assessment; indicators of rater expertise in rubric scoring; and a clearinghouse for librarians and faculty to share."

"Cars" is the animated story of talented upstart Lightning McQueen, a promising racecar on his way to the Piston Cup Championship.
Cars' Lightning McQueen
En route, McQueen is sidetracked in the small town of Radiator Springs, where he learns that there's more to life than just winning.
Giving substance to the movie's automotive theme are the voices of real-life racers Paul Newman and Richard Petty.
Newman provides the voice of Doc, a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past. Not coincidentally, Newman starred in the 1963 Western "Hud", as the title character.
Newman's racing career includes a second-place finish at the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans. At age 70, he became the oldest driver to be part of a winning team at the 1995 24 Hours of Daytona.
The voices of racing celebrities Paul Newman and Richard Petty give life to Doc Hudson (above) and the King (below).
Newman also co-founded Newman/Haas Racing, a CART Championship auto racing team, in 1983.
Richard "The King" Petty gives voice to The King, a 1970 Plymouth Superbird with a long history of winning and little left to prove.
True to life, Petty's racing career includes seven NASCAR championships and his induction into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame.
Newman and Petty join a cast that includes Owen Wilson, George Carlin, Michael Keaton, and John Ratzenberger.

I have a white guava fruit tree, may be a dwarf as it never got any bigger than 4 ft. Always grew lots of guavas that we all loved.
Anyhow, last year here in SoCal we had a freeze and snow one day, very strange weather for us, considering I myself live where it gets hot in the summer. After the freeze it came back beautiful, growing guavas once again. My gardener came along and cut it down to sticks, even the existing fruit was gone. I was so angry, I still am. Well, it hasn't grown anymore fruit or even blossomed since then. it's grown back and has lovely leaves all over it though. Will it come back? What can I do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, Not an expert in Guava trees, I have one(Pineapple Guava) but since you said that the tree has grown back and has healthy leaves, maybe try giving it some fertilizer recommended for fruit trees/citrus trees. prefably a slow release type. Water on a regular basis. I certainly woudn't give up on it, maybe it is just re-adjusting to being pruned so severly? Try the slow release fertilizer with minors(Dynamite brand is very good)Home Depot or Walmart carries it. Good luck! |

Pins? Snappis? A wipe warmer?!
You can definitely cloth diaper without any "extras," but some parents find cloth diapering much more pleasant with a little help. My sister-in-law, for example, couldn't live without flushable diaper liners. They eliminate the mess from dirty diapers, making it unnecessary to ever dunk-and-swish a diaper in the toilet. And in this post, we learned why some prefold enthusiasts prefer to use Snappis and diaper pins instead of the lazier method we endorse (which I now know is the "newspaper fold").
So did I indulge in any cloth diaper bling? Well, we reviewed Monkey Foot Designs wet bags near the end of my diapering days, and I have to say I found my patterned bag much more beautiful than the Zip-loc I'd been using to tote wet diapers around in. While it's definitely not necessary to the cloth diaper experience, it was a nice perk.
We go over these "diaper accessories" and more in The Eco-nomical Baby Guide, but now we're curious: what little extras make cloth diapering easier for you?
10 Jun
Not necessarily! Now, most people probably choose diaper services over home laundering for convenience. You collect your dirty diapers, set them outside once a week, and receive a fresh stack of fluffy white diapers in their place. No messing with smelly diaper laundry. However, as we discuss in further detail in The Eco-nomical Baby Guide, diaper services may or may not be better for the environment than home laundering depending on a few factors.
If you're considering using a diaper service, you might want to ask them a few questions first:
Have you tried a diaper service? What did you think—both in terms of convenience and eco-friendliness? Let us know!

Does anyone watch the show Parenthood? It follows the lives of four grown siblings and their kids in Berkeley, California. The youngest brother, Crosby, recently found out that he has a five-year-old son. Eager to make up for all those lost years, he volunteers to help the mom throw a big birthday celebration with both of their families.
Jabbar and Crosby in Parenthood
So what do they do? They go to the store, argue about a theme for a few minutes ("We did Sponge Bob last year!"), then proceed to buy stacks of theme-appropriate paper plates and decorations. The weirdest part was, there didn't appear to be many kids (aside from cousins) at the party. So what was the point of all that disposable party gear—in Berkeley no less, a progressive, eco-friendly community?
Now, I know that it is only television. But is this a reflection of reality? Do kids these days expect to have themed birthday parties with disposable plates to go along with it? Am I naive to think that I can continue to throw low-key celebrations for my daughter and serve cake on our everyday dishes? Are our tips for throwing an "eco-birthday bash" in The Eco-nomical Baby Guide hopelessly unrealistic?
Or does consumerism and waste go hand in hand with birthday parties?
3 Jun
It pains us to admit that cloth diapers do not always win the fight against disposables. We love cloth diapers for their cuteness, cheapness, and eco-friendliness, but the truth is, many people waste so much water and energy laundering their Fuzzibunz that they might as well switch to Huggies as far as the Earth is concerned.
So how can you tell if you're doing more harm than good? Do a little bit of math to determine how much water you're using laundering your diapers: multiply the gallons of water your washing machine uses by the number of loads you do per year. (If you aren't sure, use 40 gallons for a top loader and 12 for a front loader.) Is your resulting number less than 4,000? Then you are on the right track! More than 4,000? You should probably re-evaluate your laundering habits.
Let's say you have a top-loader and wash diapers every other day. You're using at least 7,280 gallons of water a year to wash diapers. Do you do an extra rinse each time? You could be blowing through twice that much water.
But don't panic! There are several easy ways to reduce your impact. Try washing fuller loads less often, eliminating extra rinse cycles, or thinking of ways to reduce the overall amount of laundry you do to "offset" the diaper loads. Our book, The Eco-nomical Baby Guide, contains a thorough list of ways to "green" your cloth diapers to cut down on the water and energy you use. Check it out if you're ready to get serious about conserving resources!
How many gallons a year do you use on diaper laundry?

Clothing. Secondhand clothing is hip, cute, and infinitely better for the planet. Prepare to dress your baby in the best brands for seventy to ninety percent less than retail!
Food. Packed with tips on breastfeeding, using organic formulas, and making your own baby food, The Eco-nomical Baby Guide will help you nourish your child with healthy foods for hundreds less.
Still not convinced? You can request that your local library purchase our book and then check it out for free! You just might find that it's worth having on hand for as a trusty resource for eco-friendly, budget friendly living in baby's first few years.

Although I pride myself in being somewhat crafty, I didn't take on that many DIY projects to prepare for my daughter's birth four years ago. I did make my own cloth wipes. Anyone who can cut squares with scissors could do the same—I used my husband's cast off T-shirts! I also created a mobile out of paper and twigs. It hangs in my daughter's room to this day, so I consider the endeavor worthwhile. Plus, it cost nothing!
In The Eco-nomical Baby Guide, we provide a list of resources for making your own baby gear. Now we want to know—what did you make yourself? Did you sew or knit your baby's clothes—or even diapers? What about building furniture for the baby's nursery? What did you make, and what resources did you find the most helpful?
27 May
Garage sales always seem like too much work to me. I don't like waking up early to snag the best deals, I don't enjoy driving around, and it seems like a pain to wade through piles of other people's cast-offs to find a few good pieces of clothing or furniture.
This is why I prefer getting my secondhand goods at consignment shops. Everything has been culled over, so the clothes are in good condition and up-to-date with the current trends. If I like Danish Modern furniture, I can usually find a few shops devoted just to that style. So convenient!
But did you know that garage sales will save you 50% or more over consignment or thrift shops? You did if you read our book, the Eco-nomical Baby Guide! We go over the pros and cons of all the usual resale methods to help you find the best deals on used baby gear. I am lucky enough to live within walking distance of a few different children's consignment shops. I drop in frequently to keep my child properly attired. I've found good deals on toys, too.
Where do you prefer to find your secondhand children's gear? Garage sales, eBay, thrift stores? Why do you prefer one method over the other?
25 May
Does your baby know the difference between a free-trade, hand-crafted bamboo stacking toy and your old set of stainless steel measuring cups? Probably not. That's why we devote a page of The Eco-nomical Baby Guide to "The Top Ten Most Fun Household Objects for Baby." Chances are, you don't need to spend a fortune on eco-friendly doo-dads in order to entertain the little one. Dangle some keys in front of his face, let her tear up some old cereal boxes, watch him dig through the compost heap—(okay, maybe not that last one).
The point is, you don't always need to buy something to fulfill your baby's needs for fun and excitement. And what's greener than buying a free-trade, hand-crafted bamboo stacking toy? NOT buying a free-trade, hand-crafted bamboo stacking toy.
Are there any eco-toys you regret buying? And what are your baby's favorite household objects?

You love your baby with your whole soul, right? Well that is how Rebecca and I feel about our new book, The Eco-nomical Baby Guide: Down-To-Earth Ways for Parents to Save Money and The Planet. (We love our actual children more, but this creative work is a close second…) It has taken us years to write this gem and it may take us years to celebrate its arrival. So bear with me for today's adventure in substandard poetry….
Ode to The Eco-nomical Baby Guide
Oh manifesto of glorious green thriftiness
How I love perusing your pages
And deeply understanding
Every cloth diaper in existence.
Oh treatise of eco-frugality,
Your creativity and humor
Fill my life with laughter,
my wallet with cash,
and the nursery with adorable
secondhand baby gear.
Oh green gift of practicality,
You help new and expectant
parents with your kind wisdom, and tips
from the trenches. You make
eco-friendly, budget friendly parenting
a spine-tingling adventure.
Thank you, humble guidebook,
for your emphasis on progress, not
perfection, as we seek to go green
despite our lack of sleep and the spit-up
smudged perpetually on our shoulders.

MSTRKRFT, Soulwax, Midnight Juggernauts… it seems like anything these guys remix has high replay value –even if the original track sucked.
Usher – Love in this club (MSTRKRFT 'picks up the pieces' remix)
– The original made me break my speakers –had to go out and purchase new ones in order to listen to the MSTRKRFT remix. The remix made me feel less pissed off at the original version.
LCD Soundsystem – Get Innocuous (Soulwax 'what they should have done' remix)
– The original was minimal, shitty, and it put me to sleep. The Soulwax remix remains along the same vein –except it's minimal, awesome, and keeps me awake. very important. (i'm really down with minimal, actually. Just not when it sucks.)
***CSS – Left Behind (midnight juggernauts 'all we have to do is look at it' remix)***
– I have only listened to CSS remixes. I am pretty sure their original tracks don't even exist.
***the stars mean you should listen to it more than once. many times. and it's not that shitty transcode that's been floating around.
This is my challenge: to MSTRKRFT, Soulwax, Midnight Juggernauts, and anyone else….
MAKE KANYE WEST'S LATEST VOCODERED FUCK UP OF A TRACK UN-SUCK. Is this track not salvageable in any way?
I haven't found one yet. I've heard them all up until right now so…. still no. we need some MIDAS-style touching up in here.

Neon Coyote is no stranger here. The east coast duo seems to never stop turning out [good] tracks.
As if we haven't had enough D.A.N.C.E. remixes, here's a remix of the remix and I assure you, if I had a nickel for every D.A.N.C.E. remix that sounded like this, I would be swimming in nickels scrooge mc duck style. They cut and splice the MSTRKRFT drum samples and drop …who???? BRTNYSPRS IN YO FACCCEEEEEEEE. so sick.
Neon Coyote – I Just wanna D.A.N.C.E. with you (britney vs mstrkrft vs justice)
I also got a couple other new NC tracks, but for now, I'll have to leave you with just one of them. Double Dutch Drama is a classic "Neon Coyote" signature sounding track that we have all grown to know. The beat will instantly make you want to bounce. —CHECK THE BEACH BOYS DROP!!!!! NEXT LEVEL SHIT!!! so many good cameos in this one.
Neon Coyote – Double Dutch Drama
ps: do yourself a favor and listen to 'ghetto galactic on NC's myspace
BONUS!!! just received this track, and I was bouncing. so it is going up here by default. There's a special place in my heart for ghetto tech and Cerebral Vortex straight outta SF delivers.

This just in, a TUFTSMANIA exclusive, new Neon Coyote remix!!
The Brooklyn duo John and Will make up Neon Coyote. With a recent spot on Indie 103.1's "NEON NOISE" with D.A.N.C.E.P.A.R.T.Y., they're on a hot streak and here's what they have to say about their style.
"Neon Coyote is constantly trying to make every song and mix sound different from the last. I try and listen to songs and see if they could be portrayed in a different light like with the Eluvium or Mstrkft remix, but then sometimes its just fun to pump the shit out of a track like 9H20. So no matter what, we try to keep people on their toes." – Will
"We got a dark side, a coke rap side, a mellow side, a dirty electro side, and a kodak moment side.
And we're trying to do it all at the same time. We're hard working. I just wanna see people freak their stuff when they're listening to our tunes." – John
I've been in contact with these guys for a minute now, and all the things I hear coming from their magic fingers has been showing improvement, attention to detail, and completely awesome-freak-out-bangyourhead music.
Now instead of a mixtape, here are some very well thought out BARELY remixes. I call them barely remixes because they only borrow elements from the originating tracks and don't at all resemble the tone or mood of the original artist's intent.
SO! In this 2 part series, the first that we'll be releasing exclusively on TUFTSMANIA….
MSTRKRFT – She's Good For Business (Neon Coyote Remix) (click this for zshare backup)
Coyote sounds, hand claps, awesome 'duran duran' tom rolls. (recipe for awesome)
I will admit, the first time playing this track, I was a little skeptical after hearing it was a remix of a MSTRKRFT track (who remixes MSTRKRFT???), but I was proven wrong and have been bouncing non stop. Also repeating this track all weekend and every time I listen, there's always another element to discover. This shit is seriously so multi-layered! It's like Girl Talk but with more finesse. You'll definitely feel it deep within your loins when the rhythm breaks down in the 2nd half of the song.
Honestly, I really can't get over how much I love the handclaps. They do me so well.
Thanks Neon Coyote, you gave me techno rabies.
!!!check back tomorrow for part 2 (get ready, you will freak)!!!

We are going to do that too this year, now that our daughter just hit the 3yr mark. Now we are paying for her meals and park passes. So we figured a value resort and no hopper, just a base. Its hard to get everything in like we used to, hitting two or three parks, at a very fast pace.
I kind of like the slowing down thing and enjoying the "Little" things with my daughter now. Besides as we get older we slow down........,

We are staying at a value resort, but I had to get the Park Hopper option. We move around quite a bit tosee the different shows and things. We DID get to take advantage of the free dining package though!!
You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

Bringing nalgenes and filling them up with the ice water from the counter service locations was the best idea we had on our last trip. Not only did we save money not purchasing drinks - but we stayed hydrated, which was important because we were running in the Tower of Terror 13k.
Our last summer trip to WDW back in July of '07, I probably saved us more than $100 drinking free ice water from CS eateries!
Everyone else had to have their soft drinks...!
This past trip I found one of the cheapest gifts. In the China showcase in Epcott, I found Chinese harmonicas for $4.00 and $6.00.
Totally agree with the No parkhopper, this saves us a bundle not only in money but in time, we don't waste hours on park hopping. Also during the year we use our Disney rewards card and save all our rewards for our trip (think of using the card if you have a big purchase especially, but of course it only really pays when you pay it off immediately). If your looking for reasonable snacks/soda/beer and don't want to go off property try going to the Hess station (i think there are 2 of them on property), their stuff is alot cheaper then the resorts. Also really think twice before you buy that Goofy hat, will you really wear it again?? Just try to minimize impulse buying.

My girlfriend and I save all of our change in a coin counting jar then when we get around $100 we go to the bank and cash it all in. After that we go to a Giant Eagle grocery store where when you buy Disney gift cards you get double gas points. So we slowly save up about $400 a trip in change so the money really is not missed, and we save money on our gas.
We plan on using that money for our families souvenirs.
Disney World is not just a place, but an experience.
Back in the world for the 2013 Marathon Weekend!
I generally rent a car either way.. so there's not an additional cost for me there (I often go visit family in the area, plus I am not a fan of Disney transport ) So I find that I can go more often and stay longer if I don't stay at Disney hotels. (I also generally have a nicer room )
Also, check out the Swan/Dolphin. I just booked two nights there for around $110 each night. The same two nights at a Disney "Deluxe" $274 EACH! So yes, I have to pay a resort fee and parking, but.... LOL! I am pretty sure that's less then $174 a night! (And that was the cheapest "Deluxe" AK . An Epcot resort "Deluxe" was $340 a night and having stayed there, that's a rip off! ) Even if I had spent $40 or so taking a cab I would still be ahead and if you stay more then two nights it's a no brainer.
I also save my coins during the year and use them as part of my Food and Wine eating spree
I also have invested in an Owner's Locker. Yes, it costs some money but I never check luggage (Savings for a lot of us) and I have supplies that I don't have to pay Disney pricing for. I replinish every so often so if there is a short trip I don't need a car for then I am good to go with things like band aids, sun block, hairspray, a REAL hairdryer, good tea bags, etc....
I would recommend Garden Grocer or one of the other services over having Disney stock your DVC villa, they stock it from the their store... Very limited selection and correspondinly high prices (something like $12 for a 6 pack of Miller Lite LOL!) I have friends who have used Garden Grocer and had great success. For my last trip I rented a car for one day. Picked it up at National dropped it at the Dolphin. Cost $30 or so, but I was able to get food etc.... Well worth it. (Also took my friend to get prescriptions refilled for a sick family member)
I don't buy the T-shirts much anymore. Found I didn't wear them So every so often I treat myself to something nice I REALLY want. For example, I have the 35th Annivesary Big Fig in here. Would rather have that then 10 t-shirts

I know some people are not fans, but the standard dining plan saves money! If you do 1 sitdown meal you will usually breakeven any more and you save money.

I have done the math and it costs me money....
You MUST compare it to how you would NORMALLY eat to make that call, not "what we eat if Disney gives it to us"
For example, I have NEVER EVER ordered a desert at a counter service. Can't see me needing one.
I also only do a TS meal every few days, once again too much food and when I do I generally don't want the deserts.
So it would cost me money and have me eating more food then I want to "get my money's worth" IMHO that's a waste!
(And watch the plan, the British tour companies are showing some major changes for 2011, not sure if they are correct, but it's going to hard to see how it saves money if they are!)

Fresh {Frozen} Friday Fruit!
February 8, 2013 in {Sweet Save}
It looks like this weekend is going to be one super sunny weekend! What better way to start it than with fresh fruit on a Friday! Pop some fresh watermelon {I used my cookie cutters to cut it into shapes} and moonball grapes into the freezer, with the watermelon on ice lolly sticks, and you'll buy yourself some time with canapés or sundowner snacks! It's quick and so easy! You can either serve the grapes as is, or use it as ice to cool your drinks/cocktails. To read this in Afrikaans click here.
Freeze and have fun!

The College Counseling Office believes that the process of applying for college should be one of positive self-discovery. Done right, it fully engages students, parents and counselors. We help students assess their individual abilities, talents, interests and aspirations, and then we provide the knowledge, guidance and support for students to identify and seek admission to appropriate colleges and universities. Our aim is to enhance students' chances for admission to the college or university of their choice. It is also important for them to consider carefully a range of "good matches," creating the best possibility not only for acceptance, but also for success once enrolled.
College counseling begins when a student enters WRA. Our small size allows our counseling staff to know students well and thus provide effective, individualized counseling. Throughout their WRA careers, students receive counseling about making course selections, building a strong academic and extracurricular profile and standardized testing. Our counseling staff meets with freshman and sophomores in group settings and then individually with juniors to prepare a preliminary list of colleges that fit each student's ability, interests, and goals. Students continue to meet with their counselor on a regular basis throughout senior year as they navigate the latter stages of the process.
The College Counseling Office maintains a strong rapport with college admission officers across the country. The counseling staff travels extensively throughout the year visiting college campuses and attending conferences. Additionally, our students have the unique opportunity to meet with nearly 100 college admission representatives who visit our campus every fall. The college counseling staff works hard to build and maintain strong relationships with the admission offices of America's selective colleges and universities. Such relationships not only ensure that Reserve's strengths are well known and understood, but also facilitate discussion of individual candidates, when appropriate.
DirectionsPlanning Your VisitCalendar of VisitsCollege Counseling CalendarNon-WRA Recommendations WRA Profile
Our office has extensive experience working with the high aspirations and expectations of our students and parents. Working closely with students throughout their WRA careers, we are highly successful in matching the talents and aspirations of WRA graduates with selective colleges and universities.

sweet pea
sweet pea
Annual plant (Lathyrus odoratus) of the pea family (see legume), native to Italy and widely cultivated elsewhere for its beautiful, fragrant flowers. The long (4–6 ft, or 1.2–2 m), vinelike stem climbs by means of tendrils and bears featherlike leaves. White, pink, red, violet, or purple flowers, reminiscent of butterflies in shape, are borne singly or in clusters of two to four. The fruit is a hairy pod about 2 in. (5 cm) long. Hundreds of varieties of sweet pea have been developed. The plant was the subject of important genetics experiments by Reginald Crundall Punnett and William Bateson.

In his book Route 66, Michael Wallis calls the Club Cafe in Santa Rosa, N.M., ''a significant establishment since 1935.'' The Club Cafe is still a must stop on the way west, both for its hearty Mexican food and its prewar decor. On a weekday morning we asked some of the folks in the cafe (quoted from left to right in foreground) how they get their kicks on Route 66.
Bozo Cordova,Car Repair Service:
''Oh, man, you know, we used to hot rod right on Old 66! That's
right! We used to just stop the traffic. No more, man. I just fix
people's cars that break down every day.''
Michael Esquibel,
Runs Local Radio Station:
''I get my kicks by trying to lure people back onto Old 66 here.
When we were kids, we'd just stand up there on that hill and look
down on all the traffic.''
Santiago Chavez,
Cafe club Owner and Artist:
''Our most precious possession here is time. In a small town like
ours, 24 hours is like 48 anywhere else. People come here by the
millions, and they like to talk about their lives. That's what makes
this 66.''
Mary Ellis,
Cashier, Club Cafe:
''You meet people from all walks of life. They all have the same
need. They need to be loved. They're all hungry, just for a smile.''
Dan Ulibarri,
''What pleases me is helping out around the cafe. I could have
traveled. But I'd rather stay here and see what happens. I've seen
Ron Chavez,
Owner, Club Cafe:
''What gives me my kick is to see joy on people's faces, the joy
that comes from having your appetite satisfied. You can fill your
belly. But to be satisfied, that is something else.''
Lt. Freddy Moncayo,
Santa Rosa Police:
''When I was a kid here, before the freeway, it would take you 15
minutes just to cross the road. We still have enough traffic to suit

The nation's airports, rail and bus systems, and subways play a large role in our everyday lives. Millions of people travel throughout the country using these critical assets, which is why they have become attractive targets for crime, vandalism and terrorism.
In addition, other emergencies such as severe weather can easily impact the transportation market, affecting thousands or even millions of individuals.
As a result of the high-profile nature of transportation providers, each organization must carefully consider the safety and security of its passengers, employees, facilities and physical assts. And that is no easy task—especially with the following challenges:

Ashtabula Lighthouse
The Ashtabula Harbor's lighthouse was established in 1836, and rebuilt again in 1905 and 1916. The light has been automated since 1973 and is still active. The original Fourth Order Fresnel lens was replaced in 1995 and the old unit is currently on display at the Great Lakes Marine and US Coast Guard Museum in Ashtabula. This museum was the original Keeper's house for the light and offers spectacular views of the harbor, coal dock and lighthouse. The light is located on a long breakwall that could be very treacherous to walk to the light, so the best way to see it closely is by boat. The light does not offer tours, however there are hopes of renovation work to be completed at an undetermined date. It is located at the end of Ashtabula Harbor breakwall and can be viewed from Point Park and Walnut Beach.

Toronto, ON -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/10/2014 -- Training puppies to urinate indoors can be a very challenging task. One product has become available that has been widely promoted on infomercials across the United States and Canada that makes potty training easy. Once a puppy is trained to pee in the same spot they typically will pee in the same spot for their the duration of their lives.
Bullseye Pee Pads are a new As Seen on TV pet product that is the perfect product for potty training puppies. It's designed with a pheromone scent at the center which attracts dogs to only pee at the center. It's made from a quilted material that is lead resistant. The Bulls Eye Pee Pads are filled with micro lock beads which eliminate odor and absorb liquids. No only does it absorb liquids but also releases a pleasant scent.
"These pet pee pads have made my life so much easier and pleasant. I love how they don't leak and absorb urine and odors so I don't have to clean after my pet. I no longer have to mop up pee puddles on my floors. The product works exactly as advertised in the infomercial. I've tried other brands and these ones are the best. Best of all this product is inexpensive and worth the price." -Amber Bocian
Bulls Eye Pee Pads are perfect for potty training your dogs indoors. It guarantees that your pet won't cause any accidents on carpets or floors which will require extra cleaning. The pheromone target attracts dogs to the center of the pad every time so there is no need for wiping urine anymore.
Pet owners no longer have to worry about puppies peeing all over their floors. They can keep their floors dry without their puppies using their floors as their person washroom. For home, apartment and condo dwellers who keep their pets inside will no longer have to worry about coming home to urine stains anymore. This product also decreases the amount of times pet owners have to take their dogs outside to urinate. Bullseye Pee Pads comes especially comes in handy during cold winter months as it lessens the number of times an owner has to take their pet outside.
"I'm so glad I purchased the Bullseye Pee Pads! This product is actually great for both cats and dogs. My friend who told me about this product says she uses it for her cats. My dog has bladder issues and needs to pee often. I love how the enriched pheromone center attracts my dog to the center so she always pees in the same spot. The absorbent dots lock in the urine while eliminating the smell of pee. If you're someone who owns a puppy then this pet product is a must have. I no longer have to worry about my dog peeing all over my floors since she always aims for the target whenever she has to go." -Rachel Lee

PROVIDENCE — State General Treasurer Gina Raimondo, a former venture capitalist whose gubernatorial rivals are trying to cast her as Wall Street's "handpicked" candidate, raised nearly $250,000 in campaign donations last year from employees of banks, lenders, insurers, private equity firms, venture capital firms and other finance companies, according to a Providence Journal review of campaign finance records.
Her financial sector donations far outpace the roughly $98,000 in combined donations that the five other gubernatorial candidates — three Democrats and two Republicans — raised from those sources.
They also make up a greater share of Raimondo's total donations than they do for the other candidates: approximately 14 percent of the $1.8 million in donations she collected between her individual campaign account and her political action committee, "Gina PAC."
In comparison, Providence Mayor Angel Taveras, also a Democrat, raised nearly $44,000 from workers in those sectors, or just over 5 percent of the total $816,558 in donations he received through his individual campaign account and his political action committee, "Moving Providence Forward."
Democratic newcomer Clay Pell IV, meanwhile, raised $4,900, or about 4.4 percent, from those sectors in order to reach his $110,925 in total donations in 2013.
Todd Giroux, another Democrat, reported no campaign donations in 2013.
On the Republican side, Cranston Mayor Allan Fung collected about $35,000, or more than 9 percent of his $382,686 in total donations last year, from financial sector workers.
Barrington businessman Kenneth Block, in his second bid for governor, received $13,375, or about 12 percent of his $111,375, from those sources.
John Marion, executive director of the good government group Common Cause Rhode Island, said he was not surprised by the findings. But he cautioned about drawing conclusions based solely on a candidate's donors.
Research suggests the financial sector, in general, plays a major role in gubernatorial elections nationwide, he said.
Citing data from the National Institute on Money in State Politics, Marion said donors in the finance, insurance and real estate industries raised $208 million in gubernatorial races during the 2009-2011 election cycle.
He also noted that state treasurers, by virtue of overseeing the state's multi-billion-dollar retirement system, have historically drawn a significant share of their donations from the financial sector. Former Treasurer Frank T. Caprio's failed bid for governor in 2010 is a recent example.
And Raimondo had strong professional ties to those industries even before taking office in 2010: she cofounded Point Judith Capital, a Rhode Island-based venture capital firm.
"I've never labeled Raimondo the 'Wall Street' candidate. It's a uni-dimensional view of a candidate," Marion said. "That said, the whole reason we have laws that require campaigns to disclose their donors, and the employer of those donors, is so voters can see who is funding campaigns. It's certainly relevant in the evaluation of the candidate."
At least a dozen of Raimondo's 2013 donations came from workers at financial firms that manage state pension investments, including JP Morgan Chase ($6,400) and Morgan Stanley ($1,000), according to The Journal analysis.
But it appears none of the donations come from the actual managers of investment funds the state is specifically invested in.
Raimondo campaign manager Eric Hyers said the treasurer has strictly adhered to that campaign donation policy since she took office.
"With the highest unemployment rate in the country, the real question of this race is who will set the tone at the top to grow our economy and create good jobs for Rhode Islanders who are really struggling," he said.
Taveras spokesman Danny Kedem said The Journal's findings do not change anything about how the Providence mayor's campaign has chosen to portray his rival.
"Rhode Island voters deserve an election decided by them and the candidates, not by Wall Street and other special interests," he said. "The Treasurer has consistently raised thousands of dollars from Wall Street executives and a Super PAC set up to elect her even got a $100,000 check from a Texas hedge fund billionaire."
(American LeadHERship, a political action committee supporting Raimondo's candidacy, recently reported a $100,000 donation from a philanthropic foundation established by John Arnold, a Houston billionaire and former Enron trader.)
Pell's campaign did not respond to a request for comment Monday.
While the gubernatorial candidates all raised a portion of their 2013 campaign donations from the financial sector, where the money actually came from differed.
For example, nearly $90,000 — or about 36 percent — of Raimondo's $250,000 in financial sector donations came from workers in the New York City metropolitan area. Rhode Island-based workers, in contrast, accounted for $47,000, or about 19 percent of her financial sector donations.
Taveras, meanwhile, obtained about $3,000 — or around 7 percent — of his $43,885 in donations from financial sector workers in the New York metro area. More than 57 percent — $25,135 — came from Rhode Islanders.
For Fung, the Republican Cranston mayor, $1,600 — or about 4.5 percent — of his $35,260 in financial sector donations in 2013 came from New York-based workers.
The lion's share — about $26,910 — came from Rhode Islanders.

The adaptation of Richelle Mead's "Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters" is filling out its ranks. The latest additions, according to Deadline, are Sarah Hyland, of TV's "Modern Family," and Gabriel Byrne, of, well, decades of lots of things.
"Vampire Academy," as you may have guessed, involves a school with vampires and humans and their complicated relationships (we really need a cheerful, well-adjusted vampire buddy road movie, don't we?). Byrne will play Victor, a leader at the Academy, and Hyland will play his daughter Natalie, the best friend of Rose and Lissa, the main characters, who will be played respectively by Lucy Fry and Zoey Deutch.
Other newcomers to the cast include Joely Richardson, who will play Queen Tatiana, leader of the Moroi, and Dominic Sherwood, who will play Christian, Lissa's love interest. Of course he's named Christian. Aren't they always?
Other cast members include Olga Kurylenko, Danilo Kozlovski, Sami Gayle, Cameron Monaghan, Ashley Charles, and Claire Foy. Mark Waters is directing.

Yeah, one thing about our winters, the warm spells light a fire under me to run out & work. I get more stuff done in these nice spells--knowing they're brief--than in the nice weather of fall when I'm prone to goof off. |
