Department of Education Prepares for Districts to Race to the Top
Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Education released the final criteria for the Race to the Top-District (RTTT-D) competition, whereby the department expects to award grants totaling nearly $400 million to local education agencies (LEAs) and consortia of LEAs to implement personalized learning environments for all students. Targeting each student's needs is a necessary step for raising achievement and closing gaps. Improperly done, however, focusing on personalization risks growing — rather than narrowing — gaps between groups, and distracting districts from other critical change levers. Applicants and reviewers must see to it that proposals for personalizing learning are tightly connected to the aim of college- and career-ready graduation for all students, and must ensure that districts are utilizing the full spectrum of available means for raising achievement and closing gaps.
In the spring, the department proposed a draft plan for the RTTT-D competition, which generated approximately 475 public comments. While the final application is very close to the original draft, the feedback inspired some changes. For example, in response to concerns from the country's largest districts about whether the grants would be big enough to support real change, the department created a new, larger award category for the biggest LEAs — up from $25 million to $40 million over four years. And in response to concerns that the smallest districts could be excluded, the department lowered from 2,500 to 2,000 the number of participating students required, with additional exceptions for consortia that include at least 10 small LEAs. It also removed the requirement for implementing evaluations for school board members.
In their applications for RTTT-D funds, LEAs must outline their plans to build on the assurance areas from the main Race to the Top competition — college- and career-ready standards, longitudinal data systems, effective teachers and leaders, and turnaround of the lowest performing schools — to create personalized learning environments. These environments must be tailored to individual students' needs and goals, improve teaching and learning, expand access to highly effective teachers and principals, and promote college and career readiness for all students.
LEAs will also be rated on the goals they set for student achievement and success; their history of improving student achievement, narrowing achievement gaps, and turning around low-performing schools; and their plans for sustaining changes after grant funding expires. As one of the conditions for receiving a grant, LEAs will also be expected, by the 2014-15 school year, to implement teacher, leader, and superintendent evaluations based, in part, on measures of student performance.
As they develop their plans to personalize learning environments, LEAs should be careful to make sure they are not just slapping new technology or "individualized learning plans" on top of an unequal educational base. To help all students graduate ready to succeed in college and careers, LEAs must use all the policy levers available to them. This means equitably funding schools, ensuring that low-income students and students of color get their fair share of the best teachers, developing and enforcing fair and consistent discipline policies, and ensuring that all students have access to — and are successful in — the courses they need to be ready for college and careers.

Well, I think reading this thread is more or less clear what it would be supposed to do, also Zac suggested it and looks to have an idea about what should it do. In summary: we would still need to use a "top layer" SLOT for packages really being able to be parallel installed and those that need to be parallel installable because reverse dependencies doesn't work with latest version (like glib, libgda, gtk+...). ABI_SLOT would be more "internal" to allow portage managers to know that abi changed and reverse dependencies would need a later rebuild.

Freshman Angie Hughes (13-1) worked four solid innings and struck out nine Skyhawks to earn her 13th victory of the season. Hughes gave up four hits and just one run. Katie Deems worked three scoreless innings in relief for the Lady Flames. The senior scattered five hits and used a double play ball to work out of a bases-loaded jam in the final inning.
Dominique Hannah's hot bat was not cooled off by the wintry weather conditions. Hannah, coming off being named Southern States Athletic Conference Player of the Week, delivered an RBI double to start the scoring off in the first inning. The Lady Flames sent nine batters to the plate and scored four times in their first plate appearance to take an early 4-0 lead.
Plenty of other Lady Flames joined in the offensive mix. Ana Coscorrosa added three hits in the contest and knocked in a run. Laurel Allen started in center field and went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles. Amanda Lynn, Lexie Dean, Charlie Wooden, Jenevive Cena and Lizzie Stevens all singled to complete the 11-hit attack for Lee.
Jordan Edge started in the circle for Point and worked just one inning. Edge gave up four runs on five hits and struck out a batter. Jessica Hart came on in relief and worked five innings, giving up two runs on six hits. Hart walked three and struck out two.
Brooke Head accounted for the lone Point run when she homered down the left-field line in the fourth inning. Head would also add a double and finish 2-for-2. Kyndal Deel and Diamond Wilson each tallied a pair of hits as well for the Skyhawks who registered nine hits in the game but missed some golden opportunities to draw closer, stranding 10 runners on base.
The Lady Flames fell one spot in the rankings after going 3-2 last week to No. 4 in the latest NAIA poll. The victory moves Lee to 26-3 on the year. The loss drops the Skyhawks to 15-14 overall.
The two teams were scheduled to play a doubleheader but game two was cancelled due to inclement weather.
The Lady Flames will be right back to work tomorrow afternoon when they host rival Shorter University at Butler Field. First pitch of the twin bill is scheduled for 3 p.m.

Air Jordan XX8 "Carbon Fiber"
Jordan Brand is coming through with another new colorway of the Air Jordan XX8 this Saturday. Taking its cues from the line's roots in carbon-fiber performance, this new colorway features a shroud that conveys that inspiration, as well as some bright crimson accents on the inner bootie and midsole.
Jordan initially told us they were going to take advantage of the blank canvas of the XX8. They certainly are.

I have been reading a book I borrowed from the library, "Ten Acres Enough", and it praises these berries.
The book was written in the 1800's, so I guess that qualifies them as heirlooms. I wondered if anyone had any knowledge of them or suggestions for sources should I want to aquire some. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Finding a fair amount of information about Red Antwerp Raspberries but not about how to get them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loganberry Something tells me this is a lost variety because every reference to it is from the 1880's. Lawton Blackberries are commercially available. I'm sure a Google search will yield a place you can order cuttings from. |

I grow Lawton blackberries, and they are divine. Lainey |
I miss living in PA. Black Raspberries (not blackberries) would probably die or produce bitter berries here. We had a wild patch up there. Mmmmmmmmm!!! |

Boy it has been a few days since I have posted anything, but here is what is going on. I am planning on meeting and shooting some footage for the film starting January. It has been exciting getting things ready for the shoot. I have been planning and researching quite a bit.
On my way home from New Jersey this week after the snow hit hard, I was in a Cab and quite hungry. I will tell you a commute from New Jersey to New York and then a cab all the way to the UES sure makes me hungry. After a day full of driving and commuting there is nothing like coming back to the city and enjoying a hamburger! I was really crazing one, after all its been a few days.
When I arrived back in my apartments Sarah and I checked SeamlessWeb for our burger choices. High up on the alphabetical list was Blue 9 Burger, which at first I thought was a mistake. Seamless often has catering options that appear but are not actual restaurant options. However this in-fact was not a mistake. We ordered the Fries and drink combo which is very well priced. I ordered the Blue 9 Burger which is a double cheese burger, I added the firecracker style which is grilled chili sauce, lettuce and tomato. Now I know any burger aficionado would cringe when adding a spicy flavor to distract from the flavor of the meat. I was worried the burger would be dry and boring and would need this sauce. I was wrong and in fact enjoyed the burger more than I had imagined.
The Burger and fries arrived luke warm, but hey there is snow on the ground and burgers don't travel well. I understand that. I was very surprised when I took a bite out of the burger and it was actually pretty flavorful. The meat was surprisingly tasty and had a unique flavor, I would say very similar to Fresh N Fast, which makes me believe they maybe receive their meat from Master Purveyors. The fries were not very crispy and pretty saggy, now I am not sure if this was as a result of being delivered or if in general they are like this. They are served with a mango chili sauce that had a nice kick to it.
Blue 9 Burger has quite good reviews on Yelp, SeamlessWeb, and was Rated Best Budget burger by Time out New York in 2010.
For the price and convenience of delivery especially on a cold snowy day, I would highly recommend this location. I also would give them a shot if you have had a previously bad experience at any other Blue 9 Location.

The Christian Orthodox churches and Byzantine monasteries are often overlooked in favour of the ancient ruins and beaches when people book cheap flights to Rhodes, but now they are being put back on the map with a programme to promote religious tourism, initiated by the Greek government in cooperation with religious leaders.
With names like Zeus, Poseidon, Heracles and Aphrodite, Greek religion may not always have been Christian, but it extends back thousands of years. Hellenismos, the alternative name for the religion of ancient Greece, is well represented on the Dodecanese island of Rhodes, which has temples dedicated to Helios, Athena and the particularly well-represented Apollo, though his gigantic statue that was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is long gone.
The non-Hellenistic faiths are no less interesting. The Kahal Shalom Synagogue, for example, dates from 1577, but there has been a Jewish presence on the island for 2,300 years. The mosque of Suleiman, built in 1522, is representative of the Ottoman invasion. The Greek Orthodox religion predominates today, along with Roman Catholicism, brought here with the Venetians, and there are plenty of fine old churches dedicated to both. Numerous churches and monasteries built during the Byzantine period, or by the Knights of Rhodes, exist as well.
Now, the Greek government and Greek Orthodox Church have partnered to promote religious tourism – not only in Rhodes, but across the whole of Greece and its islands. As well as opening holidaymakers' eyes to the country's rich religious inheritance, it will provide a much needed boost to the ailing Greek economy.
Cheap flights to the Greek islands – including Rhodes – are available from Jet2.com.

I'd like to discuss why you would waiting until spring versus potting up now. I would love to see a review of the considerations for and against each. From what I can recall, most would suggest waiting until the spring since the plant is about to enter its metabolically most active period and will recover fastest. But is there really a big difference? That's my general question, geared towards getting a better understanding of the relevant factors. Next, the specific questions: I some plants recently purchased, which are a little root-bound, in an okay mix but still on the peaty side for my taste. They will be moved up either now or later, and I'm thinking that it would be better to do so now to get them out of the peat (and into 511), and out of the cramped pot. On the other hand, they'll be overwintered in my unheated garage, so space considerations would favor waiting until I'm ready to move them out. There are also some plants that have been in 511 for a couple years which I'd like to pot up. Not so urgent in this case, but I'm thinking of doing them too. The other consideration is time, which I've got a little of now. Last year, I waited until spring to pot up and got so overloaded that a lot of other garden chores were a little neglected. Hence the question, is it really that much better to wait? What do you think? Thanks! Alex |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just because there is an optimal time doesn't mean the other times are bad necessarily for pot-ups. Conventional wisdom says there's never a bad time really to get rootbound/suffering plants out of the Peat Pudding and into better substrate as soon as possible. A lot of times I think WE derive more stress out of when to pot-up/repot than the plant does. If it's an OCD/peace of mind thing, then just do it. The plant will likely survive, probably thrive and still love you the same. :) I think a pot-up or repot out of 2-yr old 5-1-1 is bordering on urgent. i also think doing all your 5-1-1 pot-ups/repots at the same time each yr (say in the month of March or whatever) will help you buy in bulk/cheap and keep you on a schedule, i.e., you will know every year/other year you have to stock up on materials and perform the transplants on all your babies. You can get in a groove that way. |

Thanks for the helpful comments Oxyboy. That's what I was looking for. (Either that or, "no, don't do it now!") I guess you're right and maybe I'm overthinking this one. I'll pot 'em up this weekend. Alex |

Investigation of the Use of Pulse Amplitude Modulated (PAM) Fluorometry as an Indicator of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Health in Mobile Bay |
Timothy D. Sherman
Department of Biological Sciences, University of South Alabama, Mobile AL 36688 |
The proposed study will concentrate on response of SAV photosynthesis to environmental
conditions. This physiological parameter is tightly coupled not only to light conditions, but also
to nutrient availability (i.e. DIC and nitrogen availability), stress (temperature, UV-B, etc.), and
toxins. This study will utilize a recently developed technique known as pulse amplitude
modulated (PAM) fluorometry and will demonstrate the utility of PAM methodology in SAV
research. It also will produce baseline data on SAV photosynthetic parameters. This pilot project will allow the determination of the utility of PAM fluorescence for use under field conditions to ascertain the physiological state of a native SAV (Vallisneria) and two introduced species (Eurasian milfoil and Hydrilla). Specifically: 1. PAM measurements will be compared with those generated by polarigraphic measurement (using an analytical Clark-type oxygen electrode) under field conditions. 2. Measurements taken in the field will be compared to those taken on similar tissues transported back to the laboratory using conditions that have been utilized in previous reports 3. PAM and oxygen electrode data from different tissues of the same plants (i.e. young vs. old leaves, young vs. old parts of the same leaf, and similar tissues during the course of the day and of the growing season will be compared. 4. The effects of a variety of treatments (i.e. salinity, light attenuation, UV-B attenuation, and dissolved nutrient concentrations) will be determined. From these data, an understanding will be generated of which parameters and tissues will yield reliable data for subsequent studies. Additionally, if laboratory-based measurements are indeed reflective of the physiological condition of field-measured materials, much less costly ($500 to $1000) non-submersible teaching-grade PAM fluorometers could be tested for useful in this type of work. |

People who constantly wear Bluetooth headsets annoy me. I'll admit it. Yep, it's probably pretentious, judgmental, and just kind of mean, but nonetheless, that's where I stand (see: this highly relevant video). I figure it's only fair warning for you, our readers, going into this review. So, when Samsung offered me a chance to spend some time with their latest high-end Bluetooth headset, the HM7000 (the product naming department was on vacation), I accepted with a good deal of hesitancy.
Motorola's ruggedized DEFY (which our own Brad Ganley reviewed) is a pretty cool phone. In my book, any time you can stick a gadget in a glass of water (or beer, as the case may be) with absolutely zero negative repercussions, I'm interested. The DEFY is no poser - Motorola's made the first industrial-strength Android.
Unfortunately, a substantial number of users across the globe are reporting a fatal flaw with the device, and surprisingly it's not MOTOBLUR-related.

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 Amelia!
Facts about Amelia
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Amelia's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Amelia is a long-haired beauty of a German Shepherd, only around one year old and maybe 50 - 60 pounds. She is brilliant too - if you know and love the German Shepherd breed then you will love Amelia.
Amelia can be a touch timid when meeting new dogs though it is obvious she wants to meet them and/or play with them. After a bit of time she's fine, though she prefers calm dogs. It's truly just a matter of properly introducing her to new dogs and she is fine. She is submissive and responsive, but still young and puppy-ish. Through and through Amelia is all shepherd.
Amelia is very good on lead but could be better. She is very good in a crate, and rides wonderfully in a car. We have not tested her with cats yet so please let us know if you have cats so we can see how she is with the. We are looking for a family for Amelia that has experience with German Shepherd dogs and, if there are children, they need to be 10 years or older.
For more information and/or an application if you would like to meet her please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Other Pets at Throw Me A Bone Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Amelia, a Oakley German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Oakley, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Oakley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Oakley 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 Oakley 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 German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Oakley paves the way for another one to be saved.

How do I forget, over the summer, the winter slavery of keeping the birdfeeders filled? I have learned, finally, to not completely fill them, since the birds don't stop eating when they (the birds) are full. So the seedholders start off the day half filled and when the seed is gone, the birds fly down to the ground and compete with the squirrels for the spillage. And keep a birdy little eye out for cats.
When I get to the bottom of the 50-lb. bag, I'll have to go out and buy another. And another. If they were pretty birds, like cardinals and bluejays, I'd feel rewarded. (actually, we have 1 jay and 1 cardinal.) Or maybe some green parrots, or a lyrebird.... |

So many branches snapped off in the October storm, I've only got three seed feeders & 2 suet feeders out this year. There's a gazebo-style pole feeder in front and a large, square wooden tray feeder hanging from a hook on the breezeway. Normally there are several more seed feeders hanging in the crabapple tree. My neighbor whacked three branches off the tree that were damaged in the storm and were touching the house so those are gone. Now it takes about half the usual time to fill the feeders but at least so far I can still get to them. Last winter I was forced to feed on the breezeway because the snow was too deep on the front lawn. I can't lift a 50 lb. bag so I buy it in 25 lb. size which means, of course, more frequent trips to the feed store. The store isn't too far a drive and I suppose in a pinch if I were really snowed in I could buy seed at the local hardware store. I've always fed the birds and love watching them. The hawk landed in the crabapple one day last week and let me snap quite a few shots through the big window. There are lots of cardinals here and the bluejays have made a comeback the past few years to where they come in noisy groups of 5 or 6. Nuthatches, junkos, chickadees, eastern bluebirds, titmice, finches, wrens, mourning doves and various woodpeckers make up the rest of the indigenous species. We'll rarely see a Baltimore oriole, evening grosbeak or red-wing blackbird. |
I am jealous over your cardinal. Twice we have had cardinals visit to check us out and then never return. Apparently, they don't like our feeders or feed or something. Do cardinals prefer a feeder like the one in your photo? My husband takes the two tall metal hooks I use for hanging baskets in the summer and uses them for the thistle seed socks. One also has a suet feeder. The birds seem to prefer the feeders hanging in the maple tree across the driveway although the goldfinches don't seem to mind the feeders on the metal hooks which are close to our window. They are right next to a viburnum so the birds can also perch there. After a squirrel chewed thru the rope to the sunflower seed feeder, my husband replaced it with metal wire. The dang squirrel is trying to chew thru that, too. We look forward to seeing the migrants. If we're lucky we see a small flock of visitors who only stay a day or two. Right now the wild turkeys are hanging around a cornfield. There's hardly any snow so they can still find lots to eat. Later in winter when the snow is deeper they'll make a visit to our feeders to see what's on the ground. |

The cardinals apparently prefer the lantern-style feeders such as the one above for whatever reason. I have a wooden feeder that's shaped like a tall, thin house and have yet to see either the male or female cardinal on it except when the other feeders are empty. Cardinals live (apparently) in the pines across the road and down at the back of my property. I see them come and go in both directions so I assume they live in the pines. I haven't seen many squirrels since the October snowstorm that did so much damage here in central CT. Normally I see a lot of them but the red squirrel is about the only one who seems to still be in residence. |

I love all the pics. and it makes me torn..I have 2 cats that were usiong the feeders to hunt..so i stopped using them. But it sure would be cool to see the birds closer... |
OTT - When I had a cat, I placed the birdfeeder far enough from places the cat could shelter/hide to sneak up on the birds so that they could see her coming. Although she was a great hunter, she never caught any birds since they were able to get away when she tried. My memory is that it was in the range of 10 to 15 feet, close enough for us to watch the birds without endangering them. It did mean that there was a bareish patch of lawn right around the feeder from the sunflower seed hulls, but no one but folks in the house could see that. Perhaps that could work for you. (I don't have feeders now due to the blackbears . . . ) |
I don't have feeders now due to the blackbears THAT's a good reason to not have them ! WOW. Thanks for the tip..I am goin to look in to it |

Ministry increases efforts to stem illiteracy
Published: Wednesday | June 3, 2009
Father and son reading together.
Literacy is the foundation for success in education, training and national development. As a result, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has identified improved performance in literacy as one of its key areas of strategic focus. The aim is to have all students certified as literate before they exit primary schools and to prepare young adults for the world of work and lifelong learning.
To ensure this, the ministry has increased its efforts to support literacy teaching and learning through provisions that will have far-reaching impact nationally. These include a number of targeted interventions which have already been implemented through bilateral agreement between the Government and external funding agencies, and support from local institutions and corporations.
Among these initiatives are:
1. The Primary Education Support Project, which focused on effective curriculum implementation and under which a literacy programme for grades 1 to 3 - the Literacy 1-2-3 - was instituted.
2. The Expanding Educational Horizons Project, which offered professional development, technological and material support to 71 low-performing schools.
3. The Caribbean Centre for Excellence in Teacher Training Project has assisted teachers and students in 43 schools to improve reading instruction and literacy learning skills at grades 1 to 3.
4. Through partnership with the University of the West Indies, a literature-based instruction project was implemented in some schools.
Since 2007, the MOE has developed and implemented a National Literacy Strategy aimed at raising all students' performance in literacy to optimal levels. Under this new thrust, data on schools' performance over a three-year period were analysed to determine low-performing institutions. These schools have been provided with additional support through the services of literacy specialists. The specialists work closely with school leaders, teachers and students to identify particular challenges and individual student needs, in order to develop programmes and address deficits.
The schools that are doing reasonably well also benefit from literacy enrichment activities through the assistance given by regional literacy coordinators and territorial education officers. In general, teachers are supported through job-embedded professional development which focuses on reading diagnosis, developing customised intervention programmes, establishing a print-rich classroom environment, and selecting and utilising material, with sensitivity given to gender issues.
Final stage of development
A grade 4 to 6 literacy programme, which articulates with the Literacy 1-2-3 programme, is in its final stage of development. Diagnostic tools and instruments for pre-primary to grade 9 are also being prepared for system-wide use. These will enhance teachers' ability to develop customised programmes for corrective, remedial or enrichment solutions.
Stakeholder partnership is one of the key components of this new thrust - our key partner being parents. The ministry's literacy team has helped establish PTAs and create focus-group and community-outreach activities, as it engaged parents in discussions and provided tips on how to support schools and children's literacy endeavours.
The ministry's corporate partners have contributed to establishing enrichment centres to address the literacy, numeracy and special education needs of students. Additionally, members of the disapora are supporting local literacy activities by providing assistance with teacher training, donations of interesting teacher and student support material and assistance with infrastructure. Currently, there are 16 volunteers operating as counterparts to specialists in six parishes.
We recognise that, for these efforts to be successful, there must be a commitment by all to provide monetary, material or human support for literacy. In this regard, the ministry has already demonstrated its commitment by:
1. increasing the number of literacy specialists from 50 to 90
2. making provisions for students to benefit from interesting reading and instructional material and literacy-rich classrooms
3. providing extensive training and support to school leaders and classroom teachers with focus on research, literacy, leadership and the cascading of effective and innovative literacy practices
4. supporting parental involvement in children's literacy achievement
5. establishing partnerships with a wide cross section of stakeholders and utilising print and electronic media to raise the level of awareness of the importance of literacy to the individual and nation building.
You too must become involved as it is our belief that 'Every child can learn, every child must learn' and 'Together we can!'
Colin Blair is director of communications at the Ministry of Education.

this person had a great idea! (random internet pic):
if someone could post a pic (Trendy) of the score chart at the end of the ride, that'd be great! I can't find it to save my life.

On our Nov/Dec trip, I miraculously scored into the 900,000s. I don't recall the exact score, and we didn't take a picture. I must have accidentally hit some of the big pointers or the gun was acting weird...take your pick! It's one of the very, very few times I beat DH at it. Ok, it's the only time I have beaten him.
This past Sunday, I was once again beat by DH. I think my score was in the 7700 range, whereas I think he made it into 6 figures.
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
When I rode this past weekend, I only scored a 3000. I was so ashamed I didn't take a picture of it.

Important Information >>
By Tim Johnson
Purchase the complete version of this woodworking technique story from AWBookstore.com.
If you want to make a woodworker gnash his teeth, ask him to make new cherry look like cherry that has aged naturally to a rich, brownish hue.
Why is this challenge so agonizing? Because staining cherry, even with stain that's the perfect color, doesn't do the trick.
Here's why: Cherry's surface is covered with legions of tiny pores that are almost impossible to see—until you apply stain. Stain turns these pores dark, so they stand out. Naturally aged cherry doesn't show dark pores; so it's impossible to create an authentic look with stain alone.
Production shops solve the problem by spraying on toned lacquer finishes; old masters pad on shellac and handmixed glaze. Here's a no-fuss method that uses off-the-shelf products and produces great results.

- Real advice and direction from a professional blogger in the form of weekly lessons. The four weekly downloadable lessons (about an hour each) will take you through every major aspect of managing a successful blogging business: from establishing your voice and branding your work, to designing your space, marketing yourself, and making profit from what you have created.
- Assigned weekly questions and projects for implementing, with optional feedback from the instructor.
- Encouragement and inspiration throughout the month for what you have to offer, how you can best sell it, and what you can do to begin earning a profit doing what you love.
What sets this course apart?
This course involves extensive individual blog and personal business plan instruction. It is a course + step-by-step workbook, which I believe is the difference between merely learning facts and being able to implement them to growing your business. You will learn through online lectures throughout the month, and leave the course with manageable steps to move forward with your specific business goals.
A few words from past students:
The class motivated me to redesign my site + collaborate w/ other bloggers. It has been extremely helpful in growing my site this year!
Victoria encouraged me that I have to create my own content to be original and creative. She walked me through the step by step process of what that looks like and it has made all the difference.
I loved the 1:1 phone consultation. The advice on freelancing and the site being my personal brand was enormously helpful. Victoria is the first instructor I've heard talk about real live traffic and payment numbers which helped me realize how much profit I could be making today.
This course is taught by Victoria Hudgins, author of A Subtle Revelry, launching Editorial Director for the Altitude Design Summit blog, and founding editor of Styled. magazine.
If you are looking for even more direction and a completely personalized plan I am now offering one-on-one personalized blog consultations. Take the next step and invest in a complete road map to get you from where you are right now to where you want your business and blog to be. The consultation includes a one hour phone call with Victoria and a completely personalized step by step business plan. I will be available to walk through the entire plan with you and personally answer any questions you might have along the way.

MIAMI 2014: Larson maps its strategy with new rollouts
Posted on Written by Jim FlanneryMIAMI — Larson Boat Group debuted a 20-foot Striper center console at the Miami International Boat Show Thursday and showed its Escape 25 luxury pontoon boat, introduced just two weeks earlier at the Minneapolis Boat Show.
"What we're doing is concentrating on what's selling," Larson president and CEO Rob Parmentier said. That's saltwater fishing boats (the Striper line), freshwater fishing boats (the FX series) and pontoons (the Escape).
The only hot segment Larson is not into is ski boats. Parmentier said Larson owner Irwin Jacobs has given him the resources and go-ahead to proceed full-bore and introduce eight new models during the next 12 months.
A former Sea Ray Boat Group president, Parmentier has been at the helm of Larson since last October. "I've made five years' worth of changes in three months," he said. "There's a lot happening here."
Larson director of engineering Ron Sahr said the new Striper is a small boat, but it has a big entry and hull flare that give it a big-boat look. "It's got a proud stance. It's where we're headed in the Striper models," he said. With its many fishing features, it should also fish like a much bigger boat, he said.
That boat will be available in center console, walkaround and dual console configurations, and it rides a deep-vee hull that delivers a soft, dry ride, he said.
The Escape pontoon, which will come in 22-, 23 and 25-foot models, has a fiberglass deck, aluminum vee-bottom hulls, LED lighting along the bow and a full stand-up cabana at the stern with a head.
"This isn't grandpa's pontoon," Parmentier said.

Penn State Campuses: International
Penn State isn't a single place. Our multicampus system has twenty undergraduate locations throughout Pennsylvania. Most of Penn State's over 160 majors can be started at any campus. When completing your application, please provide a first choice and an alternate choice campus from the list below.
Choose a campus from the dropdown menu below for more information:
Penn State's 2+2 Plan
Some students choose to remain at one campus for all four years, while other students spend their first two years at one campus and transition to another for their remaining two years. To transition between campuses, the only requirement is that you meet the entrance to major requirements for your selected major. The vast majority of our majors can be completed in this fashion. We call it the 2+2 plan and it's the most common path to a Penn State degree--about 60% of our students opt for this path in a typical year.
Choosing your Campus:
International Applicants who reside outside of the U.S.
International Applicants who reside outside of the U.S. may apply to 18 PSU campuses which provide International student support services. Please explore our campus links for more information about on and off campus housing, campus locations and campus life.

Choosing Your Semester
University Park:
Summer is a great time to start at Penn State University Park. Students starting in the summer take their first Penn State classes in a supportive, relaxed environment. The summer semester, which generally runs from the end of June to the middle of August, is a six-week program in which students usually take two courses for six academic credits.
The summer semester is slightly less competitive, and a student may qualify to start in the summer if he or she did not qualify for the fall. International students beginning in the summer have the option to participate in the International Learning Edge Academic Program (iLEAP). iLEAP allows a group of students to attend the same two study area courses together. In this way, participants make friends from different cultures and become well acquainted with other students in their group. International students may also participate in the Learning Edge Academic Program (LEAP). LEAP also enrolls American students and provides other study area options.
Information on LEAP and iLEAP
Other Campuses: Summer is not available at other campuses for first-year students.
Fall (Starts at the end of August)
The majority of first-year students start in the fall semester. International students are expected to attend an orientation that begins in early August. Orientation dates vary by campus.
Spring (Starts in Early January)
A limited number of first-year students are admitted for the spring semester, therefore admission may be more competitive for certain campuses and/or programs. The spring semester begins in early January.

Vodou (English copy)
SKU: 553112 Over 300 stunning Vodou artifacts from the internationally recognized Marianne Lehmann Collection are at the heart of Vodou. The exhibition demystifies a spiritual tradition that remains very much alive in Haiti and among Haitians abroad. Shaped by a history of slavery, oppression and resistance, Haitian Vodou is far removed from the myths manufactured by Hollywood. It is both a spirituality and a cultural movement that celebrates the past and present of the Haitian people. This souvenir catalogue contains over 60 beautiful photographs capturing the vibrancy of the artifacts featured in the exhibition, alongside insightful text that reveals the enduring appeal of this complex spirituality. Mauro Peressini is Curator, Southwest Europe and Latin America, at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. He holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Montréal. His research has focused on immigration in Canada, sociocultural identities, multiculturalism and, more recently, religions in Canada. His past exhibitions at the Museum include Presenza: A New Look at Italian-Canadian Heritage, Pompeii and The Greeks. Rachel Beauvoir-Dominique is an anthropologist and a founding member of the Fondation pour la préservation, la valorisation et la production d'oeuvres culturelles haïtiennes and other organizations with related goals. She is the co-author, with Didier Dominique, of Savalou E, winner of the Casa de las Américas Prize. She has also authored L'ancienne cathédrale de Port-au-Prince : perspectives d'un vestige de carrefours, as well as many articles. A professor at the University of Haiti, she has served as director of the Department of Anthropology and Sociology, and head of the Culture section of the Vice-Rectorate of Research. She helped present the European versions of the Vodou exhibition and contributes her expertise to many international conferences.

DC-Baltimore Perl Workshop 2014 - Call For Speakers
(As posted on dcbpw.org)
Attention Speakers! You are invited to submit talks for the 2014 DC-Baltimore Perl Workshop, which will be held on Saturday May 3, 2014, in Silver Spring, MD.
As in previous years, by default talks are 20-25 minutes, which we've found is a sweet spot for most topics. We get a great variety -- enough to get a dose of newness and not overwhelm. We also welcome proposals for more tutorial-style talks of around 50 minutes. We'll take the talks and build out a two-track sche…

My neighbor has a craftsman mondel 139.53325SRT garage door opener that won't close. When I unhook the chain, and hit the button, the motor will breifly think about going down, then go all the way up to the up-limit (if not already there). The sensors are wired good, LED's are lit, and the lights don't blink when this happens. The only thing I noticed out of the ordinary is that the LED for programming remotes will blink 5 times, pause, then blink 5 times... Any help will be appreciated, thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The LED blinking 5 times is the code for "motor overload or RPM sensor". According to your statement the motor is running and the chain is moving. That leaves a bad RPM sensor. |

I've recently started a hydroponic garden and had this show up on my brandywine pink tomato plant today. Web searches have proven inconclusive. Any help identifying the yellowing bumps on the leaf would be appreciated! |

Here is a link that might be useful: Edema means swelling caused by fluid in your body's tissues.
I so totally agree with your philosophy of not freaking out when one finds ONE bug, or a couple of questionable leaves on outdoor plants or gardens. However, one is particularly careful when growing crops in g'houses where there is little to no room for error when first sees a disturbing sign. I've seen whole g'house crops go to expensive, and sometimes ineffective treatment to cure crop of diseased plants simply because the operator did not do due diligence in scouting and catching a disease when it was present in just a few plants sitting on benches of a monoculture. I scouted daily, but when I found something I thought wasn't 'right' but was unsure of the reason, it got quarantined away from other plants until I could ascertain what was going on, or treat it. It allowed me to run my operation without a lot of failure or chemicals. The poster should keep an eye on this, as my first take is if it isn't minor insect damage or environmental, it may be virus. |
One leaf with bumps doesn't suggest virus. As for edema, use this search phrase "edema in plants" -- but no quotes |
Here is a link that might be useful: edema in plants
That is why I suggested environmental first. Oedema is environmental. |

First Full 'Upstream Color' Trailer Looks Absolutely Gorgeous
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 16, 2013 | (4) CommentsCompletely shunning the typical mode of movie marketing where every secret and scene is revealed in the trailer, Shane Carruth has managed to make his follow-up to Primer seem even more mysterious the more he shows of it. Granted, the first teasers looked a bit too faux-poetic to take seriously, but the first full trailer is a wonder to behold.
Even though it shares maddeningly little (you can read a synopsis here), the imagery is stunning, and the selected scenes hint that there's at least a palm worth of plot to this thing. This may seem like hyperbole, and it might simply be the trailer's brainwashing talking, but if we praise Malick and Anderson for their abilities to craft this kind of emotional visuals, shouldn't Carruth's name be haunting the same halls? Sure, he hasn't made many films, but if his name weren't on this (and you knew nothing of it), wouldn't you have guessed it was Malick's signature?
Keep that in mind and check it out for yourself:
Upstream Color hits Sundance and the Berlinale before getting a limited release April 5th.

If you have a KitchenAid stand mixer, do you still have a small handheld mixer? I have a tiny kitchen and am trying to downsize! If so, what brand? Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by nancylouise (My Page) on Sun, Dec 30, 12 at 9:03
Yes, still use my hand mixer and immersion blender. I use my KA mixer for my heavy duty stuff-bread doughs, cookie doughs,etc. I use the HM for cake batters, pancake batters, lighter stuff. I'll use the immersion blender when pureeing hot soups in the stockpot or chopping small amounts of nuts or herbs in the chopping cup. NancyLouise |
Thank you. I do have an immersion blender too and a regular blender that also has a food processor bowl but I have yet to use that. So far I have left the KA on the counter to encourage me to use it on a more regular basis but I think if I end up putting it away, a hand mixer would be the way to go because it would be so much easier "to take out". |
Only YOU can really answer that question. It depends upon the type and quantity of cooking you do. I have 3 kitchen aids and one hand mixer and yes, I need them all. The KA's are all different models and sizes, so have different uses. The hand mixer is great for quick things like whipping cream or for when you don't want to get the big machine dirty. |
- Posted by shear_stupidity (My Page) on Sun, Jan 27, 13 at 10:12
I agree about getting the big machine dirty. I use my KA frequently, but sometimes I just want to whip something together without all the "fuss." |
Rarely use a hand mixer. BUT when I found a 7-speed, KA hand-mixer (BRAND new, in box) at a thrift store for $5... I jumped on it! |
- Posted by publickman (My Page) on Thu, Feb 14, 13 at 18:14
I use the hand mixer more than I use the stand mixer, except that I keep the cheese grating attachment on the stand mixer, and that gets used almost every day. I also have the meat grinder and ice cream maker attachments, but those do not get used as much. My immersion blender (also KA) has a whisk attachment, and that is great for whipping small amounts of cream, but can get messy if not careful. I mix pancake batter by hand - I never thought of using a mixer for that. Lars |

CBS 2 - Search Results
Horse Owners Concerned About Gun Range
AMANA, IA (CBS2/FOX28) - Iowa City Area Crimestoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information about the shootin g of a horse on Amana Road earlier this week.
This is the second horse to be shot on the road in rural Johnson County in a year-and-a-half.
Amana Road runs through the Hawkeye Wildlife Area, and there are two shooting rangse on the road, as well. Mike Green, the owner of the horse who was shot, said he is pro-gun, but doesn't think people need to be shooting assault rifles at the range.
His neighbors said it's enough for them to pull their horses away from the road.
Teresa Mulhausen, who owns the riding academy Wyndtree Farm, said she won't be letting any of her or her clients' horses spend long periods of time on her two paddocks near Amana Road, either.
"I can't fathom this. I can't fathom that somebody would ride up to a pasture, shoot horses for no reason," she said. "That to me is so scary."
Just living on Amana Road can be scary, Mulhausen said.
"I just can't believe I live in a state where you can pull off the side of the road and shoot assault rifles," she said.
The Department of Natural Resources is responsible for the two shooting ranges on the road, and DNR wildlife biologist Tim Thompson said the safety rules are posted outside both areas, with berms set up to separate groups. He said the ranges keep the entire road much safer than it was before the ranges were established, when shooters would come and practice wherever they wanted in the Hawkeye Wildlife Area.
"We have safety in the highest concern out here," Thompson said. "And then to enforce the rules, we have a part-time range officer, and we don't have him on a regular schedule, and that's so people don't try to do something against the rules."
"See, these people come here to the gun ranges, most of them. We live here," Mulhausen said.
For many people who live on Amana Road, what happens on the range is one thing. What happens when shooters leave the range is another.
"Unfortunately, as I told my clients, I don't think anything will be done about this at all," Mulhausen said.
Sheriff's deputies told Mulhausen that they will be patrolling Amana Road more, she said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 319-358-TIPS.
