Thursday, December 20, 2012
Muscogee (Creek) Nation News. By Sterling Cosper, Reporter
OKMULGEE - Muscogee (Creek) citizen, Cynthia Tiger, is completing her last semester in the Master of Jurisprudence in Indian Law (MJIL) program offered by The University of Tulsa College of Law and Concord Law School of Kaplan University. According to TU's website, TU and Concord Law began offering the MJIL, a 30-credit hour online program in August 2011. This co-venture between the universities is available for college graduates whose career or projected career path involves tribal government or businesses and for lawyers seeking to expand their practice or expertise. Tiger works directly with tribes and hopes to utilize her MJIL to further her business, "Tiger 2 Tiger," which provides grant writing, project management, needs assessment and cost benefit analysis services. "What I do basically is; I'm a consultant," she said. Having completed the majority of her degree requirements, Tiger is working on her master's thesis involving economic stimulus for the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and hopes to go on to law school once she obtains her MJIL. Tiger says she has been very pleased with the program. "I like the structure. When you're a mature adult, you've got grown kids, you're a community member and involved in your culture, you can pretty much do all that and school," she said. The online format allowed Tiger to take classes without committing to a set schedule. "If you can't make a class, they archive it and you can go and watch it. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and listen to a lecture," she said. She also commented on the assistance she received with her course work. "They even provided us with a tutor," Tiger said. Tiger feels that a greater overall understanding of Indian Law is important for Native Americans. "If we could educate more judges, senators you know; if we could just get an Indian in the Supreme Court with our view point," she said. She does, however, feel like there has been some progress. "With the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the White House Tribal Nations Conference it seems like there is a lot of things coming together but it has taken a long time to get there," Tiger said. Tiger has been on her own personal journey and has already obtained an undergraduate degree in economics and a graduate degree in public health. "Everything I'm working toward is based on prayers I said. I couldn't be doing this without help from the creator. It all ties into me wanting to help my people," she said.

Over twenty years ago, the World Bank launched a comprehensive policy study on education in Sub-Saharan Africa. One of the findings was that to address the crisis in education at that time, there was a need for a new partnership among African countries and international partners to carry on the policy dialogue and encourage donor cooperation. In 1988, an organization was launched with this mission, with support from the World Bank's Africa Region and grant funding from the World Bank's Development Grant Facility (DGF). Over the years, this association, now known as the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) has evolved to become an impressive network of African ministries of education and training, development agencies, and education professionals. As of 2008, the Secretariat of ADEA is hosted in the African Development Bank (AfDB), in Tunis.
In the 21st century, African countries will need to continue the impressive gains in access to primary education with more attention to the quality and effectiveness of basic education, the high levels of school dropouts, and invest in new education and training programs. The most recent and highly successful gathering (Triennale) organized by ADEA in February 2012 in Burkina Faso, highlights the need to invest in promoting critical knowledge, skills and qualifications at all levels of education and training systems and for the benefit of all people in African countries, whether they are in school, working or unemployed. The ADEA program, as a forum for policy dialogue, is a model partnership between African education and training ministries and their technical and external partners, one of DGF's success stories in scaling up an innovative idea, and by far, the most important education network of policy-makers, educators, and researchers in Africa.
ADEA was conceived in 1998 and began implementation with grant support from the World Bank's Development Grant Facility (DGF). The DGF has provided funding to this initiative for over ten years and it will continue this support until fiscal year (FY) 2015. ADEA is a multi-faceted network, led by Africans and designed as a forum for policy dialogue on education policies in Africa. Its mission is to "act as a catalyst for innovative policies and practices conducive to change in education through the pooling of thinking, experiences, lessons learned and knowledge."
ADEA plays a crucial role in fostering the policy dialogue, knowledge exchange and consensus-building that are required to promote essential education reforms, as well as to build national ownership and capacity to implement reforms. The role of ADEA has increased in recent years because of the increased international attention to education and enhanced donor coopration resulting from the establishment of the Education for All (EFA) Fast Track Initiative (now the Global Partnership for Education) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The activities conducted within the ADEA partnership areas facilitate the World Bank's support for education programs in Africa that are technically sound, financially sustainable, and nationally owned. ADEA has significant "convening power," strong credibility with African ministers, and it provides a neutral forum for policy dialogue between and among African policy makers and their external and internal partners, such teacher unions, parent associations and nongovernmental organizations.
As a multi-faceted network association, ADEA has produced important results in several different areas, ranging from launching a dialogue, creating a policy forum, or catalyzing action on a particular issue. Some of the most significant results include:
- Continental and regional integration/network meetings. ADEA has organized continent-wide meetings known as Biennales (now Triennales) since 1993, along with many other types of meetings, workshops, seminars, ministerial conferences, and youth fora. These meetings are the apex of the activities and life of ADEA. The main objective of the meetings is to encourage and sustain frank and open discussions between African ministers of education and training, development agencies, and other education professionals.
- Triennale 2012 in Burkina Faso. As part of preparations for this pinnacle event, ADEA carried out extensive consultation to produce a synthesis report on the theme of the meeting, Critical knowledge, skills and qualifications for accelerated and sustainable development in Africa. Approximately 1,000 participants attended, more than any other prior meeting, including more than 60 ministers of education and training from Africa, donors, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)/civil society organizations, private sector representatives, youth groups and other stakeholders. The Triennale included new actors such as the African diaspora and the private sector. There was also a Korea-Africa Day, to present Korea's experience and to help develop a new partnership.
- Policy recommendations. The key recommendations of the Triennale were organized around the themes of (i) common core skills for lifelong learning; (ii) lifelong technical and vocational skills development; and (iii) lifelong acquisition of scientific and technological knowledge and skills. ADEA is now working to ensure that the results and recommendations of the Triennale are at the forefront of policy discussions. As a strategic partner of the African Union, ADEA, as a key contributor to the implementation of the African Union Action Plan for the Second Decade of Education, will share these recommendations at the African Union meeting in July 2012.
- Knowledge management. ADEA has developed a Regional Education Management Information System (EMIS) Capacity Development Strategy and an interactive continental statistical database geared to monitor the implementation of the seven areas of focus of the Second Decade of Education. ADEA has developed knowledge management platforms (databases) and its revamped website provides one of the largest sources of information on educational development in Africa
- Policy frameworks for teachers. ADEA has helped many African countries rethink their teacher policies, in particular those countries least likely to meet the EFA goals by 2015. ADEA has developed two policy frameworks that guide countries in developing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating training and upgrading programs, as well as managing careers, opportunities for advancement and providing social protection guarantees, rights and obligations to a new category of teachers (contract teachers) who are being hired to expand the systems.
- Sub-grant. The Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) is a pan-African NGO working in 32 African countries to empower girls and women through gender-responsive education. Over the years, this group evolved from an ADEA working group in 1992 to become one of ADEA's biggest success stories. FAWE has benefitted from sub-grants from ADEA via the DGF funding to support its innovative research, education models, and policy actions. Schools in which FAWE has undertaken interventions have recorded increased rates of enrollment, retention, and completion for girls.
Bank Contribution
The World Bank's Development Grant Facility (DGF) was established in 1997 with the objective to encourage innovation, catalyze partnerships and broaden the Bank's services by convening and building coalitions and providing financial support to external entities.
ADEA has received a total of US$8.87 million in grant funding from the Bank through the DGF from FY98 through FY12 and the funding is scheduled to end in FY15. The Bank has also provided technical assistance to ADEA during its early years and staff and consultants have been invited to participate in ADEA-sponsored meetings.
ADEA is directed by a Steering Committee composed of ten African ministers of education and representatives of most multilateral and bilateral development organizations that work in the education sector in Africa. The Ministers represent the five regions of Africa (Western Africa, Eastern Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa and Northern Africa). ADEA is funded through the membership fees that development partners pay to be a member of the Steering Committee as well as support from donors.
In addition to the DGF, ADEA has also benefitted from support of more than 20 different bilateral and multilateral sources, including, among many others: the multi-donor Education Program Development Fund (EPDF), the African Development Bank (AfDB), Austria, Canada, the European Union, France, Germany, Ireland, Finland, Japan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and the African education ministries. In addition, African ministries of education have contributed to ADEA activities in their own countries. During the recent Triennale 2012, the Korean delegation announced its government's decision to join ADEA as a member of its Steering Committee and become a donor to ADEA.
Toward the Future
The DGF support to ADEA is scheduled up to FY15. Yet, given ADEA's convening power, the Bank will continue to remain engaged with the ADEA network. Through this network, the Bank now has access to an important regional platform on education. For example, at the 2012 Triennale, taking advantage of the presence of education and training ministers, the Bank presented its revised Education Strategy.
The next three years will begin a period of transition for ADEA to become self-sustaining, reach out to new continental and regional partnerships and multi and bilateral donors, and continue to excel in analytical and policy initiatives. As the association takes on new and greater roles, emphasis will need to be placed on strengthening the capacity of the Secretariat to disseminate information, improve monitoring and evaluation of programs, and translate the recommendations from meetings and discussions into concrete policy actions or programs. In 2012, ADEA has assembled a group of consultants and select Steering Committee members to prepare a Vision Paper for the organization to provide guidance on its mission and operations in the years ahead.
The Kenyan Minister of Education Sam Ongeri, who is also Chair of the ADEA Bureau of Ministers, called on each minister to communicate the results of the Triennale to the Council of Ministers of his/her country, so that the government could take them on board. In this way, he added, "even if we are no longer in the government tomorrow, we are sure that the outcomes of the Triennale will be given close attention and followed up." Mr. Ongeri also emphasized the vital role of the Regional Economic Communities and invited them to become active supporters of the acquisition of critical knowledge, skills and qualifications in order to support the program of sustainable development in Africa. "Today is the time for Africa to rise and shine. As Ministers of Education, Science and Technology, we have a duty to lead this process so that this dream comes true," he added.

USL PRO News Release
Thursday, January 24, 2013
TAMPA, Fla. – USL PRO announced its 2013 regular season format and schedule today, with each of its 13 clubs playing a 26-game schedule as the league embarks on a groundbreaking partnership with MLS that features interleague games vs. MLS Reserve teams.
Two new teams have been added to USL PRO in 2013, with the Phoenix FC Wolves and VSI Tampa Bay FC joining the 11 returning teams from 2012. Phoenix FC is set to open the 182-game season on Saturday, March 23 when it travels to face the Los Angeles Blues, and VSI Tampa Bay FC will play its inaugural game a week later on Saturday, March 30 when it travels to meet the Wolves at Sun Devil Soccer Stadium.

Law of the Game analyzes ex-IW bosses' suit against Activision {Joystiq}
Mar 8th 2010 8:42PM We don't even know why these two were really fired and everyone is already burning the witch.
Faction changes coming to the World of Warcraft {WoW}
Jun 30th 2009 5:57PM The reason everyone is complaining is because it makes WoW even more ez-mode.
As if making leveling a million times easier since pre-BC days wasn't enough, now you don't even have to bother with that anymore. Rerolling was part of the game. You choose a faction and you stick to it, and if you happen to waste a lot of time and effort only to not enjoy that faction and want out, then you had to reroll.
If leveling was still somewhat of a challenge and still somewhat of a time-consumer like it was before the days where Blizz found ways to make WoW easier in every patch, I would have possibly supported implementing this feature. But the way WoW is right now, this feature is just another "Let's make WoW the easiest MMO ever" afterthought Blizz is throwing in so every n00b ever will throw $25 their way.
Faction changes coming to the World of Warcraft {WoW}
Jun 30th 2009 5:49PM One of the coolest parts of WoW (and many other MMOs) was the faction system and the fact that if you chose a side and leveled you were locked in.
I know this doesn't effect me because i'm not going to use the service, but i'm so sick and tired of Blizzard constantly making WoW closer and closer to "My First MMO" status. It's so incredibly easy these days, and no choice you make can't be reversed granted you throw a little bit of money at Blizzard.
HP Mini 1000 review round-up {Engadget}
Oct 29th 2008 2:55PM I think your points are completely moot, because HP has already said it will update the 2133, and that the Mini 1000 is aimed at the casual netbook market.
The Mini 1000 wasn't made for you, so stop complaining about how much HP sucks. I wouldn't buy a MacBook because I need discrete graphics, but you don't see my panning Apple just because they offer them. If you want a 1280x600, aluminum netbook, with all the fancy new specs (read: an Atom, how incredibly exciting) then just wait until the 2133 get's a refresh.
Some statistics to be removed from achievement tracking {WoW}
Oct 27th 2008 11:46AM I think Blizzard is just getting too hasty. They created a bomb add-on system for a reason, there's really no use in THEM putting these types of things into the game when a 3rd party can come in and make one that can update anytime (not just patch days), doesn't force itself upon every user, etc.
Microsoft signals some improvements in Windows Vista SP2, still not moist and chewy {Engadget}
Oct 25th 2008 3:11PM It's true!
I love Engadget but the second that Blu-Ray drives even become an option in most Macs i'm sure the entire internet (including Engadget) will have three consecutive babies in excitement.
I think Microsoft needs to just hold everything back. MAke it so Blu-Ray drives don't work with Windows until they officially support it. Let's see what kind of reaction that garners compared to what kind of reaction Apple is getting right now for doing the same.
Rumor: Northrend could be next World of Warcraft expansion {Joystiq}
Jul 30th 2007 5:11AM There have been Emerald Dream files in WoW since the game launched. But yes, it is likely that Northrend is next. First the music setlist for Blizzcon, combined with the files, etc. It's likely. But we'll know in a few days anyways I guess.
Rumor: Northrend could be next World of Warcraft expansion {Joystiq}
Jul 30th 2007 5:09AM Mealstrom
Emerald Dream
It'd make sense that Mealstrom was next, as Queen Azshara would be the "last boss", and she pales in comparison to Arthas.
Emerald Dream...i'm not too sure about on the whole. Doesn't seem like it has enough lore to even support it be implemented full scale (probably why they haven't, there have been Emerald Dream files in the game since it launched but they haven't done anything with them yet).
Joyswag: Free 1-year subscription to Games for Windows magazine {Joystiq}
Feb 27th 2007 12:21PM Do they still include demo discs in their magazine? Either way, it's still a good magazine, and free...well, who can argue with that? Thanks Joystiq!
Pride (in the name of the Horde) {WoW}
Feb 21st 2007 10:57AM The bottom line is this: nobody can back up any of their claims. Everytime you say; "Oh, the Alliance attract the kids", there will always be someone who is right there waiting to say; "OMG i'm 20-something and my entire guild is 20-something so you're wrong LULZ".
How I see it, the factions are different but equal. Until Blizzard issues a mandatory survey and posts the results, the "kiddy" arguement will never have a right side.
As for pride, as a Horde player I think we deserve the mass amount of pride we have. We have less numbers, and PvP racials. So if a Horde guild get's a world first, it's that much more impressive. The Alliance have more players, which leads to more guilds, and they have a HUGE advantage because their racials are very PvE oriented.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Posted By: Chris(O)Date: Tuesday, 26 January 1999, at 11:34 a.m.
Just wanted to share my exercise routine with you.
I got one of these little exercise trampolins ($25), and it is sitting in the middle of my living room. When I have a few minutes, I just get on it and jump rope. It's very easy and really gets me going.
Sometimes (when it's warmer outside) I roller skate as well or ride my bike. But the above works well for me.
Okay, now I'm interested in what YOU do for exercise?

I was familiar with this machine, one of my woodworking buddies has one. I had a dewalt 735 with a Byrd SHELIX head and couldn't have been happier with the quality of cut, but it was so lacking in power that the DW735 took 7 passes to do what the Powermatic does in three. I built a rolling base to be able to steer the machine and raise it about 3 inches allowing me to plane onto my PM2000 table saw outfeed. Now how to talk my wife into the 8 inch PM jointer.

Planes so smooth you don't need to sand. So quiet you don't need hearing protection. Rollers need to allow heavy machine to turn. Adjusting the tables is almost impossible. Poor design on adjustment.

Comments about 15HH 15 in. 1-Phase 3-Horsepower 230V Deluxe Planer with Byrd Shelix Cutterhead:
Overall, nice planer. The cutterhead does a GREAT job and makes this planer very good...without it I wound have reated it a 2 or 3 star. The planer has sufficiant power. The Manual analog guage works poorly and the digital should be included, especially at this price. Very Very cheap ([*]) paintjob.This is my first power planer. My expectations were very high and frankly I was disappointed because of the cheap [*] assembly, paint and packing.I think Powermatic USED to be the gold standard for woodworking tools but they have SOLD out to the allmighty dollar.I have two Powermatic tools(this planer and the drill press). I doubt that I will ever buy their products again.

Comments about 15HH 15 in. 1-Phase 3-Horsepower 230V Deluxe Planer with Byrd Shelix Cutterhead:
This is one GREAT product. I have owned it for over six months now and it has impressed several of my woodworking friends!! It isn't cheap, but as they always say, "You get what you pay for". The wood exits the planer using the Byrd Shelix head so smooth it needs almost no sanding and would be ready to go straight to painting in most cases. It is a very powerful machine and has not shown any strain, even when cutting 12" Black Walnut. It also does very well on figured woods, with very little tear out. I have been extremely satisfied and would recommend this product to anyone. I only wish it had a better thickness gauge.

How does the PM stack up against the same options but with the brand JET they look similar why the cost difference. and yes i know they are basically the same company1 answer
Powermatic and Jet are the both divisions of the JPW Industries.Q:
I was told I could save a little money if the item was delivered to a location that had a forklift. Is that correct? Also I wanted to order a depth gauge with this planer but could not find where I could add it. PS I have had my 8" jointer for over 30 years and love it.1 answer

I know I probably post these silly threads more than all other visiters combined. Still, I cannot help the curiosity, so be with me whoever enjoys the guessing game.
Now, we've got a Boromir as a allround attack boost. The original Faramir ally was an allround willpower boost. And of course, one can combine them together in a Leadership oriented deck. But do you think the designers will go with it for the hero version as well, or will they provide a more solitary version of the brother, similar to the original Boromir? I would think so and I feel it shall be a Lore Ranger.
Any other ideas?

Bottoms Up is a weekly feature on Backhand Shelf that admits that sometimes the underdog doesn't win: sometimes they just lose and lose and lose some more. In this edition, the losers are going to lose a few players.
We are just over a week away from the NHL trade deadline, which you already know because the hockey media won't shut up about it. Don't get me wrong, I like trades and the trade deadline itself can be exciting. What I don't like is the constant rumour-mongering leading up to the deadline. The vast majority of trade rumours not only never come to fruition, but were also bollocks to begin with.
Eric Duhatschek drove the point home in a recent article, pointing out the massive amount of work that trade rumours create despite their absurdity. Harrison Mooney produced a step-by-step "How To" guide to creating your own trade rumours to show how truly easy it is to fabricate them.
The immediacy of social media has made trade rumours even more infectious, as blogs and media place far too much importance on being the first to report rumours and trades and far less importance on ensuring that those rumours and trades are factual.
With that said, it's still worth looking at what might happen at the deadline, particularly for the teams wallowing in the league's basement. While everyone else is wrapped up in Rick Nash and Jeff Carter speculation, I want to look just at the pending unrestricted free agents.

For several reasons, the traditional way that Taylor polynomials are taught gives the impression that the ideas are inextricably linked with issues about infinite series. This is not so, but every calculus book I know takes that approach. The reasons for this systematic mistake are complicated. Anyway, we will not make that mistake here, although we may talk about infinite series later.
Instead of following the tradition, we will immediately talk about Taylor polynomials, without first tiring ourselves over infinite series, and without fooling anyone into thinking that Taylor polynomials have the infinite series stuff as prerequisite!
The theoretical underpinning for these facts about Taylor polynomials is The Mean Value Theorem, which itself depends upon some fairly subtle properties of the real numbers. It asserts that, for a function $f$ differentiable on an interval $[a,b]$, there is a point $c$ in the interior $(a,b)$ of this interval so that $$f'(c)={f(b)-f(a)\over b-a}$$
Note that the latter expression is the formula for the slope of the 'chord' or 'secant' line connecting the two points $(a,f(a))$ and $(b,f(b))$ on the graph of $f$. And the $f'(c)$ can be interpreted as the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the point $(c,f(c))$.
In many traditional scenarios a person is expected to commit the statement of the Mean Value Theorem to memory. And be able to respond to issues like 'Find a point $c$ in the interval $[0,1]$ satisfying the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem for the function $f(x)=x^2$.' This is pointless and we won't do it.

A plumbing company replaced our hot water tank that was damaged by basement flooding. They came same day (a plus since our plumber was out of town). We asked for, and I heard them order, a 10-year Bradford White tank.
They installed a 6-year tank. The invoice states that it's warranted for 10-years. When we called about the discrepancy, they said they warrant the tank for 10 years, non-prorated. We'd pay labor only if it went before that. We asked for this in writing - 2 weeks later we haven't received anything. However, in thinking about it, we've been disadvantaged:
I'd like to stop the credit card payment and have them yank the thing out but it's not practical. But I do believe that I am due some adjustment. The cost was $250 over what our regular plumber charged to install a 10-year tank a year ago. I think they inflated the job, judging by an estimate they gave us to provide a sump pump, which we later purchased from a local supply company for half their estimate. We would value your input on how to proceed with this. Thanks in advance. |

First, I think you need to be clear about the issues... and it sounds as if there is more than one issue. Once you clarify the issues, you need to figure out which ones - if any - matter to you. I get the feeling there's some "buyer's remorse" at least in regard to the price. I also appreciate that a lot of little injuries can add up. Personally, I don't think there's much real physical difference between the 6 and the 10 year water heater other than the price and the warranty. That said, if you ordered and paid for a 10 year water heater, you should get that or you should get the bill adjusted to reflect what was actually installed (this is what I would insist on). With all due respect, I don't want a verbal warranty from the installer (or even one written on a service order). Other than the adjustment for the change in the water heater, I don't think it's fair to try to re-negotiate the bill unless they made a mistake or it was grossly unfair. (I hate to waste money, but an extra $250 probably doesn't rise to the "grossly unfair" standard). Presumably they gave you an estimate and you accepted it. You do generally pay for "same day" service. Good luck, stick to your guns on getting the price adjusted because of the wrong heater, and chalk the rest of it up to fast turnaround. |
I wouldnt wory about it too mch you most licky recieved a 10 year wareenttee on the water heater. You don't have to use them when it times to change the new one out. |
Thanks for your replies. I was willing to pay the price to have a new heater installed, and so quickly, so no buyer's remorse there. I will contact them about an adjustment for the tank. The experience with the tank and the price quoted on the sump pump make me question their honesty, so they will not have me as a customer again. Too bad. But thanks again. |

Cameron Wake is the poster boy for all players in the Canadian Football League that are hoping to take their act to the next level.
The Philadelphia Eagles wouldn't mind one bit if Phillip Hunt followed Wake's career path, either. Adam Caplan of FoxSports.com reports that the Eagles are expected to sign Hunt, who led the CFL with 16 sacks this past season. The deadline for CFL players to make the move to the NFL is Feb. 15 and already a handful of players have made the move, including wide receivers Andy Fantuz and Emmanuel Arceneaux, who signed with the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings, respectively.
Wake was a pass-rushing phenom in the CFL before making the move to the Miami Dolphins. He had 14 ½ sacks this past season and earned Pro Bowl honors while being a candidate for the defensive player of the year award. Hunt worked out for the Eagles, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, New England Patriots and Vikings, according to Caplan. He had 19 sacks over the past two seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Hunt is a little undersized but so is Trent Cole and he does just fine as Philadelphia's top pass rusher.

@StarJo – That's a great attitude. I wish more people could find contentment in the simple things.
My sister's husband lost his job two years ago, and they had to cut way down on everything, basically. All he could find to replace his well-paying job was a part-time job making minimum wage, so they soon fell beneath the United States poverty line.
They lost their home and had to move into a old, tiny house with low rent. They had to sell one of their vehicles, and the kids had to give up access to online movies and games, and they could not go shopping or to movies with friends every weekend.
They whined and complained incessantly, and it really stressed out their already despairing parents. I think that if the kids had been more cooperative, the situation would have been more bearable for everyone. Falling into poverty can either bring a family closer or tear them apart.

Gilbert Unified School District families are invited to learn more and give input on the potential changes to school start times at three upcoming meetings.
The district is looking at several possible options that would change the high school start times for the 2009-10 school year. The changes could also affect elementary school and junior high times.
Discussed options include an 8 a.m. high school start time, which because of busing schedules would change the junior highs to an 8:45 a.m. start time, and the elementary schools to either an 8 a.m., 8:30 a.m. or 9 a.m. start time.
Other options include starting the high school's first hour one hour later, at 8:30 a.m.; overlapping lunch hours; or leaving the schedule as is.
The meetings are set for: 7 p.m. Monday at Desert Ridge High School, 10045 E. Madero Ave., Mesa; 7 p.m. March 11 at Highland High School, 4301 E. Guadalupe Road, Gilbert; and 7 p.m. March 12 at Mesquite High School, 500 S. McQueen Road, Gilbert.
District officials are expected to present research data, outline potential impacts to the various options, answer any questions and take suggestions and comments from the audience.
"A" hour, an optional early-morning class before the regular school day, now starts at 6:30 a.m., and first hour begins at 7:30 a.m.
Change was made necessary last July after the district added 24 minutes more per day of instructional time to comply with state officials' new interpretation of the instructional time law.
The move upset some parents because the hours were changed about two weeks before school started, and they complained it was just too early for their teens.
The school board is expected to make a decision, using input from parents, within the next month.

Pittsburgh Riverhounds News Release -- www.riverhounds.com
Wednesday, March 6, 2013
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Riverhounds are pleased to announce the signing of central defenders, Andrew Marshall and Anthony Vazquez, for their inaugural season at Highmark Stadium, pending USSF approval. Two strong and physical defenders, Marshall and Vazquez will provide the Riverhounds with depth and professional experience in the defensive third.
"This off-season, an area of focus was to search for players who would make our defense stronger and faster," said Head Coach Justin Evans. "I believe with the addition of these two men we have done just that. Both Andrew and Anthony will bring an honest, hard-working, Pittsburgh-style mentality to our back line this year. I am very pleased that we were able to come to an agreement with both of them."
Coming to Pittsburgh for his eighth professional season, Marshall will impact the Riverhounds' back four with his ball-winning ability, composure, and veteran savvy. Spending the last two seasons with the Riverhounds intra-state rival, the Harrisburg City Islanders, Marshall played a key role in the Islanders back-to-back USL PRO Playoffs berths, highlighted by a trip to the 2011 USL PRO Championship game that saw Harrisburg fall to Orlando City in penalty kicks.
"It is an exciting time for soccer in Pittsburgh and I'm exciting for this season with the Riverhounds," Marshall said. "I am eager to be a part of what the Riverhounds have planned and I am grateful for the opportunity to play for a USL PRO Championship."
A member of the Puerto Rican Men's National Team in the 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in March of 2008, Vazquez brings international experience to the Riverhounds' back line. After finishing his collegiate career at Monmouth University, Vazquez signed with the Puerto Rico Islanders for the 2012 season and received quality minutes in his rookie campaign, including 10 starts, as he became a defensive anchor for the club.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to play for Coach Evans and the Riverhounds," said Vazquez. "After coming off a great season with the Puerto Rico Islanders, I hope to bring a different element of experience to the club. I look forward to meeting the rest of my teammates, the organization, and hope to be a part of a successful season this year."
The Riverhounds will release their official 2013 preseason schedule later this week, highlighted by matchups with a USL PRO foe, a Nike-supported program of up-and-coming U.S. soccer stars, and one of the top collegiate programs in the country. Stay tuned to riverhounds.com for the schedule details.

L&HHATL's Puerto Rican Princess covers the latest issue of Rolling Out magazine. The "Mi Colta" singer sat down with the magazine to discuss her upcoming fitness tape, her infatuation with Stevie J. and why she thinks Tamar Braxton is jealous of her.
Hehrnandez didn't reveal it at the time this interview took place, but according to a recent interview in Hip Hop Weekly, she and Stevie J. are now married. Check out some highlights from Joseline Hernandez's Rolling Out interview below.
Besides "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" what are you working on?
My album is coming out; we've been working on my album. I have international records on the table; we're just working.
What can fans expect from your upcoming fitness tape?
[It's called] "Body by Joseline." Honey, they not gonna do it. [Laughs] I'm just kidding when I say that. It's one-on-one, when you guys see "Body by Joseline" the DVD it's actually like I'm speaking to you. I'm gonna really tell a woman how to lose their weight. A lot of women don't know you're not gonna lose weight unless you know your body and understand what you can and can't eat. I was like 30 pounds heavier, I lost weight [by] myself.
What is it about Stevie J that makes you so infatuated with him?
I think Stevie and I are infatuated with each other. Because things go right but I curse him out and I slap him; everybody knows that. I think he's like my boyfriend. I guess it's like a relationship. I guess we go together.
There are people like Tamar Braxton who have publicly dissed you. What would you like to say to them?
Well, I'm the baddest b—- out there in the streets. [They say] "how dare this little immigrant girl come from Puerto Rico [and] just become a star." You know I hate that s—! They're jealous. Shout-out to Tamar Braxton, she wants to be a bad b—- like myself but she can't be. She's been trying to come out with music for how many years? [It's been] f—–g 20 years since her sister [Toni] was a star. They don't understand how a girl like me can come out and be this, but I have talent. It's not my fault. When you got talent, you got talent. Shout-out to the haters; I love the haters. I do it for your amusement.

Since the mid '80s, most programs use a WYSIWYG screen display, a virtual paper page into which you type or insert images. Before that, word processing programs made no pretensions about being WYSIWYG simply because the printing devices were just electro-mechanical typewriters.
I know that some die-hard professional writers still prefer to use typewriters and there are others who do use computers but prefer a non-WYSIWYG writing environment.
In writing for the Web, the concept of What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get is not only unnecessary and pointless, but can actually be a hindrance. What-You-Think-Is-What-You-Get is a much more useful concept for writers.
For professional writers and authors, Microsoft Word has a not-so-obvious option in its preferences – Blue background, White text. At one time, most word processors that supported colour used this combination or something similar.
If you have never tried this, and it does seem a bit strange at first, give it a whirl. I find it much easier on the eyes than the glare of black on white and it also helps me concentrate on the words rather than their environment.

A Family-Friendly Manor
Designer Ernest de la Torre puts a hip spin on a historic mansion
By David Colman
When a couple peruses a house to buy, they usually either share the same opinion or differ completely. Jennifer and James Cacioppo did both.
For a few years they had happily rented a weekend getaway in the elegantly old-fashioned enclave of Tuxedo Park in upstate New York. But they had come to realize that buying the place of their dreams there would require patience. Houses in one of the countrys first gated communities, established in 1886, tend to stay in the same families for generations; the few that hadnt, they hadnt liked. So the pair was only mildly curious when they heard a large residence had come on the market. Perched high on a hill, it was a 17-bedroom, 17,000-square-foot Jacobean Revival manor house dating from 1900. It may have been built for Charles W. Cooper, whose familys name graces such New York institutions as the Cooper-Hewitt Museum and the Cooper Union school, but it sounded like something out of a Harry Potter novel. Then they took a look.

Wales for Africa - I should be so Lusaka
I've just come back from talking to people who are in the process of applying to go to Africa with ILO next year - Cohort 2, as they're called (I'm part of Cohort 1). It was really enjoyable, there was such a positive buzz of anticipation I felt quite uplifted afterwards. It was also a useful process, as I had to reflect on the whole application and preparation process and all it entails - which is a lot, as it happens. From sending off my application form to sending off for my visa, it's already been a journey, before I even get on the plane.
I've had to think about things like the NGO culture and the housing support sector in Zambia, cram up on branding issues for not-for-profits - so often seen as a low priority - set personal objectives, make contacts ... will I even remember to pack?
Luckily for me John was there, who's only just returned from Zambia, bless him. He talked about the practical things that I guess will make such a difference when I'm there, like getting around, Zambian tv (he says to take a radio), that shops in Lusaka ignore sell by dates, the fact that it's dark at 6pm and, apparently, going to start raining on 24 October.
I was already feeling pretty lucky - about my assignment, the location, the accommodation - and now I get to benefit from John's experience too. We're meeting up soon for lunch, so that he can pass on his wisdom; and some left-over mosquito repellent, some currency, and a sim card.
Lucky, lucky me.

Face to face with the past - the redisplay of a Roman coffin
One of the most popular displays at the National Roman Legion Museum is a stone coffin that contains the skeleton of a Roman man. The coffin also contains the remains of grave goods that he would need for their next life, including the base of a shale bowl and fragments of a glass perfume or ointment bottle.
The coffin was found in 1995 on the site of a Roman cemetery just outside Caerleon. The cemetery is now part of the Caerleon Campus in the University of Wales, Newport. It has been on display in the National Roman Legion Museum from 2002, however in Summer 2010 we started working to redisplay the coffin in a fashion that is closer to its original form thanks to funding from the Friends of Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales.
Made from a solid block of Bath stone, the coffin dates to about 200AD. Since it is around 1800 years old the coffin wouldn't be able to support the weight of its original lid which is in 2 large pieces. The sides and base of the coffin are being reinforced and the lid will sit on top of a Perspex cover with enough of a gap so that you can see the skeleton inside.
Further work will be done to find out more about our Roman man, who was about 40 when he died. Thanks to funding from the Roman Research Trust, Isotope analysis will be carried out on his teeth which should tell us where grew up and what sort of food he ate. We will also be trying to reconstruct his face so that we can produce a painted portrait of him using the same materials and techniques used by the Romans.
Follow our progress as work proceeds over the next year.
We aim to complete the redisplay by the end of 2011 when you will be able to come face to face with the past!
Step 1
The coffin, skeleton and grave goods have been on display since 2002.
In that time it has become one of the most popular exhibits in the gallery.
Step 2
Gaps in the coffin allowed visitors to push things into the display.
These are some of the things we found, not exactly the sort of thing our Roman would like to take to the next life.
Step 3
Work begins. First the skeleton and grave goods have to be removed and stored safely.
While off display the skeleton will undergo further investigation in an attempt to find more about the man buried in the coffin.
Step 4
All modern materials added to an object must be reversible. This makes it easier to remove restoration without causing damage to the original artefact.
Here a reversible barrier is being painted onto the coffin. This will separate the original stonework from the material used to fill gaps and level the rim.
Step 5
Even the most awkward places have to be reached!
Step 6
The lid of the coffin must have a level surface to sit on!
Unfortunately much of the original rim of the base has eroded so with the aid of foam, double-sided tape and the glass top of the original display as a guide, we hope to establish a new level for the coffin rim.
Step 7
Layers of foam were stuck to the flat glass top. When the highest part of the coffin was reached this line was used as the level for the new rim.
Step 8
Now for the fun bit� mixing up the fill material.
This material must work like a putty and set hard when dry. Also be safe to use in the open gallery and similar in colour and texture to the original Bath stone.
We went for a mixture of air-drying clay, sand to reduce shrinkage and give texture. Acrylic paint for colour and extra bonding. This was a bit of a messy job and it took a while to get the mix right!
Step 9
Once the mix was ready the gap between the foam and the edge of the coffin was filled.
Step 10
Being careful not to get excess fill material all over the stone.
Step 11
Looks good, let�s hope the fill dries without to much shrinkage.
The colour of the fill is a bit light, not as golden as the original Bath stone. The Roman quarry for the stone is believed to be south of the ancient City of Bath. The stone is soft and easily carved when wet, but becomes hard on drying.
Step 12
Inspecting the days work! Hopefully when the glass and foam is removed the fill will be nice and level.
Step 13
The gaps in the side of the coffin have to be filled to prevent access to the skeleton once it is put back on display.
Step 14
The glass top and foam are removed and the new rim revealed. The fill has dried much lighter than expected so will have to be painted to make it less obvious.
Most of the fill will be hidden by the lid which extends over the edge and down the side. This overlapping edge use to rest on a ridge that ran round the top of the coffin base.
Remains of this ridge can still be seen on the right hand-side of the image just below the fill.
Step 15
The coffin was unearthed by a mechanical digger, which broke it into several sections. Most of the pieces were retrieved, but one area was so badly damaged no pieces survived.
Instead of filling the gap to complete the side, we decided to install a viewing window so small visitors to the museum can still get a good view of the skeleton inside.
Step 16
The coffin is extremely heavy and could not be moved out of the gallery safely. Therefore, all conservation work has to take place in the gallery, which has been quite challenging at times.
If you are visiting and see us there, come over and say hello, we are happy to answer any questions about the project.
Sowing seeds of knowledge
Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales has been making preparations to send spring bulbs and pots to 2,621 primary school scientists across Wales, as part of an on-going study into the effects of climate change.
More than 3,000 bulbs were kindly donated by the Really Welsh company and then packed by a super efficient team of volunteers. The bulbs, pots and equipment will enable the schools to record the weather and flowering dates in 70 locations across Wales.
Each school will complete tasks and keep records through the winter and spring term to earn super scientist certificates that are awarded to pupils by the project leader - Professor Plant.
The volunteers thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were happy to help with the logistics of this very worthwhile project, which enables the Museum to share its scientific knowledge with schools all over Wales - no matter how remote.
The most dedicated school will win a trip to a daffodil picking day with the farmers of Really Welsh who grow all their produce within Wales.
This week, van driver, Paul Evans will be delivering the investigation packs across the winding roads of Wales to ensure the schools have their bulbs in time for the big planting day which will take place on the 20th of October. Paul has worked for the Museum loan service for 20 years.
Learning new skills
Over the past weeks I've been busy learning new skills. Paul Atkin spent a few days at the Village and showed me how to create my own wooden bowls. He also built a lathe. With the help of our blacksmith and leather worker we hope to start making our own bowls! Helen Campbell has also been over to teach me basket weaving skills. Come and join me over the next months as we prepare for winter.
Wales for Africa
I've just found out the dates I'll be working in Zambia - I'm off on 2 October, and all of a sudden it feels very, very real!
I've got more jabs I need, I've got to sort my visa out, not to mention all the jobs I've been muttering to myself that 'I must do before I go...'. There are some things I really must do, like taking the cat to the vet and the car for its MOT (musn't get them mixed up). But I think painting the kitchen's off the list.
I've also got to publish our financial report, a 56-page discussion document and two books. All in two editions, Welsh and English. And carry on production of the 176-page book on our archaeology collections, and development of the brand new companion guide to the art collections. And recruit a new translator. And a few other things...
Wales for Africa
Came in this morning to a very interesting email from John, who's already in Zambia working with one of the Forum's member charities. The email said that someone in Lusaka had asked after me. Now, initially I had the usual moment of 'oh, wonder who that is' that most people from Wales - even more so from Bethesda - get all the time. Then of course remembered that the message is from Lusaka and to my knowledge there isn't anyone even from Bethesda there at the moment (though I could be wrong). Reading on, it was just that the Forum already have my name, and so John was very kindly passing on the message that I'm expected and they're looking forward to meeting me. How amazing, to make someone feel welcome and we're not even on the same continent yet!
I'm still waiting for the specific date when I start work there. Frustrating. Although, it is becoming more and more tangible, partly perhaps because I went for my first jabs this week. Typhoid in my left arm, as that's the one that will hurt most they breezily informed me while wielding the needle, and combined Hep A&B in the other. Not too painful at all at the time, it seemed to me. To be honest I was more concerned with how I looked as I left the surgery with the fluffy ball of cotton wool taped to each arm (ridiculous, is how I looked). However, woke next morning with shoulders and upper arms stiff as a board. Followed by very mild sniffles, probably because of the typhoid jab.
I've also been filling in a questionnaire in preparation for a coaching session next week. The support for the personal development aspect of the ILO scheme is really thorough. The questions included some highly sensible ones about objectives and commitments, as well as a couple I didn't entirely understand if I'm honest. But I know I'll get help and support, which is what matters really I suppose.

Alligator Pond
Little Ochie
Manchester, Jamaica
Blackie Christian at Little Ochie has been serving up seafood at this Aligator Pond spot since 1989. The thatched-roof shacks (some made from old boats), painted in bold colors, sit on the black sands overlooking the bay. The flavorful food is cooked to order over wood fires and includes fried, steamed, roasted, or brown stewed fish served with bammy (cassava flatbread) and festivals (sweet corn meal fritters). Other dishes include Jamaican lobster, seapuss (octupus), conch, jerk chicken or shrimp, and escoveitch fish, which has been marinated in vinegar sauce spiced with habaneros and allspice.
Insider Tip:
Burn off a few Ochie caleories by paying a visit to nearby Lover's Leap, a 1,700 foot cliff overlooking the sea.

This is meal #21/195 as we cook and eat our way around the world. Our Bolivian Global Table used in-season produce and simple, home-style cooking. My biggest challenge this week was getting what I needed from the store. I went 4 times and still had to borrow a half cup of frozen peas from my neighbor and friend. Thankfully she had some or I'd have to load Ava back into the car for yet another trip to the store. I don't know for sure, but I'm willing to bet it was a full moon because on my … [Read more...]
Recipe: Bolivian Peanut Soup (La Sopa de Mani)
Serves 4 Bolivian peanut soup is a delightful way to serve up good old fashioned meat and potatoes. Cook this soup gentle and slow. If you do, the beef will be moist and tender and the potatoes will bursting with the flavor of their juices. The most unusual part of this soup is biting into the occasional crunchy peanut.

Recipe: Baked Milk Custard (Leche Asada)
Serves 4-6 Leche Asada is super easy and quick to put together. This recipe makes about 6 small ramekins or one large (1 1/2 quart) for family-style eating. You may want to set the custard in a water bath to make the cooking process more gentle. This will produce a very creamy, flan-like texture. Even without this step, this makes a great - dare I say - weeknight dessert. Ingredients: 6 eggs 3/4 cup sugar 2 cups milk Method: Preheat oven to 350F Crack 6 eggs into a large mixing … [Read more...]
Recipe: Bolivian Avocado and Tomato Salad
Serves 4 Even my husband ate this vegan salad up. Perhaps because it was a lot like a fresh salsa in an avocado bowl, instead of the "rabbit food" salad he is used to. Serve slightly chilled (cold takes away from the flavors - you won't be able to taste the buttery avocado as well.) Make the tomato mixture several hours ahead if you want. Ingredients: 2 avocados, halved and pitted minced red onion, to taste 2 small tomatoes 2 sprigs fresh parsley, minced 1 Tbsp olive oil 2 tsp … [Read more...]

The heat originates from the locato pepper, rated between 30k and 100k on the Scoville Unit. From what I gather, the locoto is like a mild habanero. Ha. Mild. Habenero. What an … [Read more...]

on October 24, 2012The fashion industry has long favored itself a showboat. (See: Galliano, J.; Gaultier, J.P.; Lagerfeld, K.; Mugatu, J.) But there has always, when it comes to the slightly less accessible but no less followed realm of designers, been one notable exception: Martin Margiela. The Belgian-born designer is known as much for his eccentric aesthetic (as in, like, gold ankle boots) as he is for his elusiveness. In fact, Margiela despite being arguably one of the most influential designers of the past 25 years has never given a face-to-face interview and only one photo of him exists today, and that's dated back to 1997.
While Margiela left his company a few years back (though it's unclear exactly when), it was a major coup for H&M when the Swedish retailer landed Maison Martin Margiela for its latest in a string of high-profile collaborations. And, today, we get out first look at the men's half of his collection, which hits select H&M stores on November 15. It's a healthy mix of traditional suiting ("Tailoring is one of the major themes in each of our men's collections," said one person at Margiela) and more avant-garde pieces, like two blazers fused into one, or a leather jacket made by piecing together, uh, belts. Everything is "a re-edition of a Maison Martin Margiela garment from different seasons," said the person. And there you (kind of) have it. The easiest way to get a feel for the whole thing to take the out-there and reel it back in is to check out the complete look book (with affordable price) by clicking below....

"These breadsticks are AMAZING!!! I halfed the recipe and i still got 24 sticks out of it. I did half twisted w/an italian cheese blend, garlic salt, and italian seasonings and the other 12 with the sugar/cinnamon recipe. SO, SO GOOD!! I will never need to look for another breadstick recipe again! If you've got the time--please try this recipe..."
"Quick, easy, excellent recipe! But beware (like the other reviewers said)--you will burn your popcorn in the microwave at the end if you are not careful! Mine just started to burn when i pulled it out--i only lost a little pocket of it on the bottom. I would only microwave it for 3 minutes, stirring half way through! Enjoy!"
"Awesome cookies!! They are so good, the very best i have ever made! I let my egg, raisin mixture set on the counter for about 2 hours. I did use half butter and half shortening.

"This recipe had a more traditional taste that i was expecting, but it was excellent! I took it to a friends house and everyone loved it! I did add a little mustard (1T), bacon grease (1T) and a little sugar to my mayo mixture and used red potatoes w/the skins on. A must try for summer!"

LIL REESE Stomps A Bitch On Video and Experiences Great Success
I Think I have been aware of Tha Chief Keef/Lil Reese/Fredo/GBE Movement for approximately a Month or so, It's safe to say, A Nigga like me is very late.
I am very much intrigued by these lil Niggas, As soon as I saw tha first 30 Seconds of Tha "Don't Like" Video I knew these Niggas were Wolves To Tha Max. Every Video of theirs I watched had a similar impact on my consciousness, A few seconds in and I wanted to run out in tha street with My heat out and talk about what "I Don't Like". I make that statement and I am aware that I am a grown ass man, Now when I put it in to perspective, These lil Niggas are tha New Niggas influencing ALL otha Lil Niggas.
This Chicago Musical Movement spearheaded by Chief Keef and Lil Reese Is Uncut Anger Music, It's not Lyrically Clever Music, This is Emotional Fuel Music, I Like it and I don't like it at tha same Time. My reason for Not Liking it is because I know, Niggas will Listen to This Music and Murk A Nigga. This Music is Solider Boy Gangster Shit that is Highly Effective, Their Videos are also highly effective.
Now When I came across Lil Reese's Video for "Traffic", I was Struck by how strong this lil Nigga Lil Reese was lookin in his Video, Like he was really trying to catch some Niggas in Traffic Slipping. Then I heard about tha Lil Nigga Jojo Getting Murked Behind a Diss Song he mad towards Lil Reese and Chief Keef, Then I tripped off Chief Keef Tweeting and Laughin about it.
Now This Recent Video of Lil Reese Stomping Out a Bitch is highly disappointing to me but not Shocking. It was disappointing to me cause a Nigga Could have walked away easy, Bitches Talking Shit is Nothing That Major, Especially If Tha Bitch hasn't insulted your Moms or anything or called you a whole bunch of Bitches, I Thought tha Nigga was Dam Near out tha Door. Then Tha Nigga Lil Reese puts his hands on tha Bitch first. Now I will say this, Tha Bitch should have toned it down and shut tha Fuck Up.
Here is another observation on why I think this Video is Disappointing, Lil Reese has been trending for a day and a half as of this Post on Twitter behind this incident and this Nigga is now Blowing up faster than Chief Keef. This Nigga is experiencing Success after a Video of Him Stomping Out A Bitch is Released, Please Believe there will be Copy Cats, Just Like Muthafuckas Drop Sex Tapes, Niggas is About to Start Dropping "Beat Up & Stomp Bitches" Tapes. Remember I said it here first.
During A Tha Week That Tha Lyrically Gifted Kendrick Lamar's Album is Being Digested and Celebrated by Tha Masses, This Video of "Lil Reese" beating This Bitch is eclipsing all Kendrick Lamar Talk By Leaps and Bounds, Incredible.
In summation, I Think This is a teachable moment for everyone. I Think people actually love watching Lil Reese Beat This Bitch and Stomp her out, It's Deep down inside of everyone, Many won't admit it though.

For the summer of 2014, students will have the option of participating in a 4 day/week internship with the Central Park Conservancy. This program provides a summer internship for up to 10 Rutgers Students. The Internship provides students with the opportunity to work side-by-side with Conservancy staff, building important life and career skills, better understanding the role they have in protecting living landscapes, and learning more about the complexity of urban park management in a park that receives over 40 million visits a year.
This is a 10-week internship, June 2, 2014 – August 7, 2014. Interns work Monday – Thursday, from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm, at a rate of $14 an hour.
