I'm Sage and I live in both Washington and Idaho (not simultaneously however). Male, 35 and I own a RIA .45 "Commander" size and a Llama .380 that I usually carry, plus a new SA XD-40 which I'd actually rather get rid of in another month or so (my first ever carry piece was an AO .45 full size and I want to get back to my roots, as it were, with a SA .45 mil-spec).
I've had my CWP for almost fifteen years now and I love reading sites like this to learn more about how I can positively bring the message to new shooters and/or carriers.
I hope I can also make a positive contribution to this site.

Korea East-West Power Company (EWP) is one of the leading state-owned companies specialising in electric power generation for the Korean peninsula. As a leading innovative energy company, the EWP required a new headquarters building that would not only symbolise its landmark status but also integrate sustainable technologies to realise a truly green workplace.
Designed with the theme of 'Synergy Plant', the design team at Samoo Architects & Engineers focused on creating a headquarters building that is dynamic, efficient, and sustainable. Utilising the site's height difference of approximately 14m, various facilities were located with maximum accessibilities & openness.
For the main tower, a double-skinned atrium runs through the eastern facade enabling natural ventilation while balconies are placed on the western facade to provide shading and a place for the employees to rest. The depths of the floorplans have been carefully studied to maximise natural lighting as well as cross-ventilation.
With a clear focus on sustainability and utilising multiple technologies including BIPV, PV, geo-thermal heating, natural lighting/ventilation, water-recycling, and others, the new headquarters building is designed to substantially decrease energy consumption compared to typical office buildings.

2. Bring corners of each dough square to center, partially overlapping each; gently press corners into centers using thumb, making a small indentation. Repeat procedure with remaining cans of crescent rolls. Transfer to lightly greased baking sheets.

Part of a six-student team that draws from high schools across the state, Wulfman and Lynch will explore southern China for 20 days as participants in Green Across the Pacific's (GATP) Chinese-American Environmental Youth Leadership Program.

BRISTOL — When John Freidin founded Vermont Bicycle Tours in the early 1970s he never imagined that 40 years later the company would grow to annually serve 5,000 travelers in 26 countries. He didn't know of any businesses at the time that were based on bicycle touring.
A young Middlebury College professor of history, Freidin recently recalled that he was trying to escape the world of academia. On the suggestion of a colleague, he and a fellow professor took an overnight bike trip through Vermont.
VERMONT — Those who visit a Vermont winery before the end of the year may well find themselves compelled to visit a couple — or 20 — more.
That's because the Vermont Grape and Wine Council two weeks ago launched its own version of the wildly popular Vermont brewery passport program. The passport promotion plots out 21 wineries and tasting rooms throughout the state, and participants who collect stickers from at least 10 will be entered in a January prize drawing.

MIDDLEBURY — Addison Central Supervisory Union officials believe that raising healthy and well-adjusted children is a challenge, and that even the most prepared parents sometimes need a little coaching.
With that in mind, ACSU health coordinator Mary Gill and more than dozen other ACSU elementary school teachers, counselors and principals are taking time out of their summer, learning how to help make parents' jobs a little easier.

The Fedora Core installer (still) does not have support for reiserfs. Even though you say it's reiserfs, are you sure it's not ext2/3? mount ( will guess the filesystem if -t is not specified. Try without the -t option and see if it works.

For the first time in nearly 100 years, a Sierra Nevada red fox was spotted in Yosemite National Park.
The fox is one of the most endangered animals in North America with an estimated 50 left in existence.
The above image of the rare creature was captured by a motion-sensitive camera in the northern part of the park, and it was seen on two separate occasions.
"Confirmation of the Sierra Nevada red fox in Yosemite National Park's vast alpine wilderness provides an opportunity to join research partners in helping to protect this imperiled animal," stated Sarah Stock, Wildlife Biologist in Yosemite National Park. "We're excited to work across our boundary to join efforts with other researchers that will ultimately give these foxes the best chances for recovery."
The park service is now attempting to collect hair samples from it, to see if it is related to another group of foxes last spotted in an area called Sonora Pass.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and in this case, it's also now worth over a million dollars.
The popular photo series "Humans of New York" highlighted a young boy from Brooklyn last week named Vidal Chastanet, whose inspirational quote about his principal evolved into an online fundraising campaign of epic proportions on Indiegogo.
Chastanet, and eighth grader from Mott Hall Bridges Academy in Brownsville was asked who most influenced him in his life.
His response: "My principal, Ms. Lopez," he said in the original Facebook post (which now has over 1 million likes. "She tells us that each time somebody fails out of school, a new jail cell gets built. And one time she made every student stand up, one at a time, and she told each one of us that we matter."
Brandon Stanton, the photographer behind "Humans of New York" later spoke with the principal, Nadia Lopez, and featured her on the site as well.
"This is a neighborhood that doesn't necessarily expect much from our children, so at Mott Hall Bridges Academy we set our expectations very high," she said. "We don't call the children 'students,' we call them 'scholars.' Our color is purple. Our scholars wear purple and so do our staff. Because purple is the color of royalty."
The area of Brooklyn where they are situated has some of the highest crime rates in the city, and Stanton wondered how he could use this opportunity to help the kids. Thus the Indiegogo campaign was launched.
Initially the funds raised on the site were to simply go towards an annual field trip where her students would get to visit Harvard University, but after the huge response (it's at just over $1 million with 8 days left as of Thursday) the project has morphed into something even bigger.
All proceeds above $700,000 will be put into a scholarship fund for the students at Mott Hall Bridges Academy called "The Vidal Scholarship Fund," Stanton announced this week, with Chastanet as the first recipient.
In addition to all of the monetary support, some people have even been sending Ms. Lopez flowers.
Well done Internet. Well done.

As we all are aware, approval of the Jordan Cove project by FERC would have massive effects, both beneficial and detrimental, on our area. Therefore, it is extremely important that the planning process leading to a go/no go decision be comprehensive and objective.
In years past, decisions made by Federal agencies on projects of this type were based primarily on social and economic factors. Environmental considerations, if they played any role at all, were commonly afterthoughts often resulting in feeble attempts at mitigation.
In the Federal sector, this all changed in 1970 with the implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act, commonly referred to as "NEPA". This Act specifically instructs all Federal agencies, boards, and commissions to "insure that environmental amenities and values are given appropriate consideration in decisionmaking along with economic and technical considerations". NEPA procedures are intended to insure that environmental information is available to both public officials AND CITIZENS before decisions are made and before actions are taken.
To make sure that all Federal agencies comply with this policy, NEPA includes an "action-forcing" mechanism that requires them to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for all plans and projects that could have significant environmental effects. An EIS must be objectively prepared and not slanted to support the choice of an agency or an applicant's preferred alternative over the other reasonable and feasible alternatives.
It is important to recognize that a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for Jordan Cove is not a decision document. Rather, it is the first of a three-step process which ultimately leads to a decision.
Step one is the issuance of the DEIS followed by a time period during which members of the public may submit their comments relating to the adequacy and viability of the data collected and analyzed. Following this is step two which is the publication of the final environmental impact statement (FEIS). All substantive public comments received on the DEIS are to be attached to the FEIS along with the agencies response thereto. Following another public review period, step three takes place. This results in a record of decision (ROD) being issued which identifies all alternatives considered by the agency and documents how it balanced the effects of the social, economic, and environmental effects of each in reaching its final decision.
Individual citizen's review of the Jordan Cove DEIS can and should play an important role within the overall process.
NEPA regulations are quite specific as to what information, and in what format, we are entitled to receive in the EIS. Agencies are urged to use the "standard format for EIS's" unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise. To facilitate your review, here is a description of the various sections it should contain as well as the type of information to be included in each:
PURPOSE AND NEED: The EIS must specifically describe the underlying purpose and need to which the agency is responding in describing the proposed action.
ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED NEED: This section is termed "the heart of the environmental impact statement". It should present the proposal and all alternatives in comparative form, thus sharply defining the issues and providing a clear basis for choice among options by the decisionmaker and the public.
AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT: This section should succinctly describe the current status of the environment within the area affected by the proposal. This critical element describes the existing baseline conditions which serve as a starting point for the description of the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the proposal.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES: This section should be devoted to a scientific analysis of the direct and indirect environmental effects of the proposed action and of each of the alternatives. It forms the basis for the concise comparison in the "alternatives" section, including a discussion of the probable beneficial and adverse social, economic, and environmental effects of each alternative.
It is critical to the long-term health and well-being of our area that we each take the time to review and comment on the Draft EIS for the Jordan Cove project when it is issued. As you undertake your review, keep the following questions in mind:
Does it comply with the purpose and intent of the NEPA regulations summarized above?
Has it overlooked any social, economic, or environmental considerations or information that you are aware of?
Does it attempt to justify a pre-determined decision?
Does it slant the analyses to favor a pre-selected alternative?
Does it include all elements of the proposal, including the changes to the 7.3 mile long Coos Bay waterway, the access channel and marine berth, the transfer pipeline, and the South Dunes power plant?
Responding to a draft EIS is not the time to attempt to vote for or against the proposal. Rather, it is time to demand that we get the comprehensive and objective analysis to which we are entitled under Federal law.

These legal processes take time. Which has benefited both sides in this fight. They get their I's and T's crossed with the help of the opposing lawyers, who point out all the flaws for them to fix and they get time to entrench their people for a complete take-over of a isolated community. This time delay was spent making even more progress getting things lined up for a complete take-over of the bay area and now we see that the taxes are going to be middle-manned by the same people who are working so hard to set this up.
The anti-LNG folks are still in the fight as can be evidenced that they still haven't built it yet and public opinion is turning against fracking, which has to happen to get enough gas to use this terminal to sell LNG overseas.
The Fracking-fight is heating up and that result will decide the fate of Jordan Cove. Right now the Keystone XL pipeline is gathering opponents like wildfire. These activists will be turning our way when that battle is settled. They know that all life on this planet is facing the same fate of extinction sooner if we don't stop burning fossil fuels. Both sides can't win this fight and it will take more of what Jody has been doing to stop it. Protesting! This community's fate will depend on the results of the national consensus from that battle. If fracking continues to increase nationwide, we will be the worlds LNG gas station.

I highly recommend this system! To start, it comes with all of the necessary tools to jump-start the whitening process. It includes a toothbrush with reusable plastic holder, tongue scraper, whitening toothpaste, toothpaste accelerator, dental floss, and individual mouthwash packets. The packets are perfect for traveling. Now some of the products like the toothbrush, dental floss, and mouthwash packets are average to me. But the tongue scraper is great for getting rid of germs and the whitening toothpaste combined with the accelerator is the key to this. To buy this kit with everything in it is a GREAT value because although it's a fairly small tube in the kit, the accelerator is what whitens your teeth and to purchase it alone is close to $50, I believe. The accelerator is the key to this because if you like it in the kit you can buy it separately and add it to any toothpaste to whiten. This kit really does whiten your teeth... not to mention it helps to improve overall dental hygiene.

I would encourage anyone who wants whiter teeth to try this. It's way less expensive than trays or strips, etc. You brush your teeth twice a day anyway and using this product automatically whitens as you brush. There may be a little sensitivity the first few days but you can back off a bit. I first saw this on HSN and the elderly gentleman who produced this product said his grandkids used it. I think it really works if used faithfully and I see no drawbacks to its use. It even comes with 2 toothbrushes that are stiffer than most to really scrub your teeth. Give it a try. I saw results within a week.

I consider myself an expert in home whitening treatments. I have tried them all, and know what works, and what doesn't. My greatest success in the past has been Crest Whitestrips...great results, economical, but inconvenient to use. Finally, someone told me about the SuperSmile system. I was very hesistant. I have been using whitening toothpaste since they first hit the market, with minimal, if any, results. At $70 for a 6 month supply, I was debating SS for weeks. I ended up finding the kit on eBay for half the retail price, so I bought it.
The system consists two tubes..the whitening toothpaste and an accelerator. You put a squirt of each on a dry toothbrush, and brush twice a day for two minutes. I use a Sonicare toothbrush, which has an automatic two minute timer, so I was all set. It takes up no more time than brushing your teeth, and the results are immediate. Within 3 days, my teeth already looked whiter and brighter. Also, ALL of your teeth get white..not just the ones in the front.
Finally, a whitening system that takes only 4 minutes a day, with noticeable results! Even better...those 4 minutes are the same 4 minutes you would spend brushing your teeth anyway! Several people have already asked me if I have had my teeth professionally whitened (including my sons orthodontist!). Now the cattiness comes out in me. I never mind sharing my secrets with my MUA buddies...but I don't know if I want to share this cool find with my all of my girlfriends.

After using drugstore whitening toothpastes with zero results, I started looking into professional at-home whitening systems. I realized that I would never consistently use any system that required an extra step (e.g. GoSmile), no matter how simple the step. Enter Supersmile!
I love that Supersmile is a toothpaste. I already brush my teeth 2x a day, brushing with Supersmile instead of something else is a no-brainer. No mess, no waiting, no extra steps, and nothing to carry around with me. I also love that all my teeth, front and back, are whitened. Systems that only address the front of the teeth I can see personally bug me.
I've used Supersmile toothpaste and accelerator for about 6 months now with very good results. My smile is noticably brighter and more white. I got even better results when I switched from a plain toothbrush to an Oral-B Spin Brush Pro. I've not experienced any tooth or gum sensitivity.
The Supersmile system is more cost effective than I expected. I started with the smaller tubes (approx 1-2 oz) which lasted 3-4 months and now moved to the mac daddy sizes (approx 3-4 oz). Since anything that stains a white t-shirt can stain your teeth, whitening needs to be done daily to maintain results. For the cost, Supersmile is a good value. The larger size tubes (approx 3 oz) come with flip top caps, btw.
Bottom line: I got a noticably whiter smile by changing my toothpaste. No fuss, extra steps or selectively whitened teeth. Love, love, love! I've already repurchased and will happily do so again.

After discovering Supersmile Professional Whitening system I'm glad to put on a happy face! Do believe I've tried all the teeth whiteners - from the pricey plastic tray crafted by my dentist that too soon lost its shape to the slippery little strips that quickly slide off.
Now, with Supersmile it's no mess, no fuss and effective. I don't mean that it gave me a blinding Chiclet smile (thank goodness!). What it did was brighten and whiten the teeth of one who thoroughly and frequently enjoys coffee and red wine. It's a natural whiteness, very pleasing.
Did I say no mess? Correct. The Supersmile Professional Whitening System comes with two tubes one is a toothpaste, the other is the accelerator. Simply combine an equal amount of each on a dry toothbrush then brush in small circles for two minutes. Do this twice a day.
Then, while you may not be able to let a smile be your umbrella (really, what person in their right mind would want to do that anyway?), you will want to wear a happy face much more often.

My teeth have never been so white! And they feel soooooo clean! It is the only toothpaste that I have used, that doesn't leave a film in my mouth. I have used other whitening systems and they are just a waste of money. I would much rather spend a few more dollars on a product that I know works! SMILE!
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great stuff! I have used it only 1x and can already see a difference. It's kind of expensive. Accelerator kit was $35 so it's not cheap. But, my teeth are already whiter. I can't wait to see the results in a week.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this stuff! I began using it after my last cleaning and have gotten teriffic results! Your teeth feel so clean and smooth! I've tried just about every whitening toothpaste (including Rembrandt Intense Stain Removal formula) and none of them provided the results that this product has!
I love the fact that the flavor of the toothpaste is not overwhelming and fades rather quickly. And it's VERY easy to use! Just replace your normal toothpaste with a pea sized drop of supersmile and acellerator on a dry toothbrush and brush for your normal 2 minutes, twice a day.
The one caveat is that progress is a bit slow with this. You will have to use it religiously for a good solid month before real results are noticeable, but it's not as if it will take an extra hour a day like Crest Whitestrips (I just could NOT use these things! My tooth pain was far too intense!). I've gotten my teeth at least 7 shades whiter in one month, with NO pain or sensitivity. I will definitely be repurchasing this.

I believe that Remington, and Federal offer a "reduced recoil" load in 308, and am curious if anyone has used it to take game? If so, I would like to hear your .02 regarding it.

From what I have read they shoot to the same point of aim just with a lighter bullet. I would think the reduced loads would be great for practice and smaller deer and other game such as coyotes and maybe hogs especially under 200 yards. You can go the Remington site and use their ballistic calculator to see the differences in energy. I wonder id the reduced loads would be close to a 243??
montveil in the NC mountains Salute All persons present in uniform should render the military salute. Members of the armed forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute. All other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, or if applicable, remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart.
Thanks for the info. I plan on taking a fellow soldier that was wounded in Iraq hunting soon, but due to his wounds, and what his doctors say, a full house 308 may be a little to much for him at this time. Since he is fond of the M14/M1A, and specifically wants to hunt with it, I am looking for a load that will have less felt recoil, but still have decent terminal effects on game out to 200yds. Up until now, I have not paid much attention to reduced loadings in any caliber, but this is worth the effort to look into and see if I can find a solution.

Should States Think Twice About Forcing All Eighth Graders Into Algebra?
Twenty years ago, most middle-school kids spent most of their day in tracked classes. Even if they had bland names like English A, B, or C, every kid knew if they were in the smart or the dumb class, and research indicated that the kids most hurt by tracking were the kids at the bottom. ...Do Your Kids Know How to Fight?
My kids get stressed out from social conflict. Each has a distinctly different style of coping. Our son's a retreater. "We're not friends anymore," my son says about one of his best friends, whenever his feelings get hurt. Even with me, when he's upset, he runs from the house and down the block for awhile.Our daughter's a threatener. When she's mad or embarrassed, she threatens. She's not looking for a solution; she's hoping we'll back down if she makes her threat big enough.One of the most important set of skills kids need as they mature is the ability to work out conflict without destroying relationships. When arguments happen, some kids simply want to win – they'll attempt to dominate. Other kids are quick to cave, doing anything to make their friend happy just to save the relationship. Ideally, kids will learn eventually to neither dominate nor cave; they'll learn to stand up for themselves and yet not put the relationship at risk. An amazing long-term study by Dr. Joe Allen...

Bloomberg Announces New Round of Aggressive School Reforms
Education reformers are buzzing today about New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg's ambitious new education goals for New York City schools that will not only up the ante for all states vying for a piece of the federal $4.35 billion Race to the Top school-reform fund, but is likely to spur sharp resistance from teachers' unions. While participating in a panel discussion about the future of education reform sponsored by the liberal think tank the Center for American Progress, Bloomberg announced that he and his school Chancellor Joel Klein are aiming to push through a platform of new reform proposals that include:Overhauling teacher evaluation systems to include student performance data.Boosting salaries for high-performing teachers in hard-to-staff specialties (math, science, special education) in low-income schools. Ignoring seniority (and prioritizing merit) when making layoff decisions.Making it easier to get low-performing teachers out of the classroom and off the payroll.Raising... -

Is Homeland Security Gun Shy About Confronting Far Right?
The Obama administration didn't hesitate recently to pick a fight with Fox News, but its Department of Homeland Security now appears to have backpedaled on a report expressing concern about what its analysts earlier this year described as "right-wing extremists." Back in April, Homeland Security's intelligence analysis division produced a nine-page "assessment" describing how the nation's economic problems and the ascent of the first African-American president "could create a fertile recruiting environment for right-wing extremists" and might even lead to violence between such groups and the government. Although the paper was stamped "for official use only" and bits of it were labeled "law enforcement sensitive." the document quickly made its way onto the Internet. Its contents provoked howls of rage from conservative activists (some of which was reflected in reports from ... Fox News). The report's critics... -

At What Age Do You No Longer Have to Check your Children's Homework?
Every Tuesday, my 3rd grader has a spelling test for twenty new vocabulary words. Driving him to school, I usually check in – "do you need any review for your test today?" There's time on the drive to have him spell them out, if necessary. The relevant question is, can I trust his answer? In NurtureShock, we wrote: "Kids who are doing well in school know it; when they write down their answer, they know whether or not their answer is correct. They have a subtle sense, a recognition of whether they've gotten in right. Children who are struggling are genuinely unsure; they might get the right answer, but lack such awareness."While that's broadly true, let's get into this in a little more detail. This field is considered the science of metacognition. It's important because on a day to day basis, kids can be vastly more efficient in their studying if they focus on what they need to learn, and don't waste time repeatedly practicing things they already know. The better they are at this... -

What If Colleges Had Lower Standards for Boys to Achieve Gender Balance?
Earlier this week, NPR's Claudio Sanchez reported that the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is taking a year to investigate college admissions, to find out if admissions departments are discriminating in favor of boys to achieve gender balance. This investigation will start with a subpoena for admissions records from a dozen (unnamed) public and private universities. They're unlikely to find any overt discriminatory policies; the question is, will they be able to find a pattern that is itself evidence of discrimination against female applicants. It's quite clear that in the current educational system, girls are outpacing boys when it comes to higher education. Boys are now only 46% of the total college enrollment, and it gets worse the higher the level of attainment – female students now earn 60% of the bachelor's degrees. (Interestingly, this gender split is not there yet for Hispanics, where the boys in college still outnumber the girls. The imbalance is worst among Blacks, and it... -
A Cure for ADHD?
One out of four cases of ADHD eliminated. It almost sounds too good to be true. Nevertheless, a report in the preeminent journal Pediatrics suggests it's possible.What needs to happen for this to occur? Some new miracle drug or radical kind of psychotherapy?Nope. All it could take is treatment of children's snoring.ADHD is defined by a list of symptoms, so if a kid has those symptoms, then he likely has the disorder. But what causes those symptoms may vary from child to child. And sleep disorders could be one of those causes.University of Michigan professor Ronald M. Chervin is one of the world's leaders in investigating sleep's role in ADHD. According to Dr. Chervin, unlike adults who suffer from sleep problems, sleep-disordered children are hyperactive. The version of this we're all familiar with is the crabby toddler who skipped his nap. When it gets more serious, as in the case of the kids Chervin sees in his lab, they are "bouncing off the walls.... -

Why Tarantulas Can Seem So Scary
It's not every day that social scientists use tarantulas in their experiments. Professor Kent Harber brought unwitting Rutgers students into his lab. They were escorted into a semi-darkened room and asked to stand right in front of a table. Then the lights snapped on, revealing a huge hairy crawling tarantula a couple feet away.(There was no real danger: the spider was contained in a glass box, but it was big enough and close enough to have the desired effect.) Harber asked the students to estimate the exact distance, in feet and inches, between where they were standing and the tarantula.The thing was, on the way into the room, Harber asked a random half of the students to pause and recall a moment of personal success. Still others were to think about a time they'd failed at something. Harber didn't ask the students the specifics of what they were thinking about – he just asked them to place it in their mind before they walked into the dark room. The students who'd... -

Online Lectures Are Not Just for Students Anymore
YouTube has built a global reputation as the place to go for video clips of singing cats, laughing babies, reckless drivers, and raucous wedding processionals. But there's more to the site than pointless entertainment; there is a growing collection of university lectures available, including one by a Harvard Business School professor talking about consumer psychology in the recession, and Cambridge University historian David Starkey discussing the history of the British monarchy.

Why Private Schools are Missing the Best Kids
Hypothetically, let's say you ran a fancy private elementary school. Like other private schools in the region, you're competing to put out the brightest kids. And one of the ways you engineer this is through your admissions process – you try to select the kids who will get the most out of what your school has to offer. Kids who can handle the intellectual challenge, and who don't disrupt the class. So, if you're like other private schools, you bring the five-year-old applicants in for some intellectual assessment, and you also set up some games and playrooms for them so that you can watch them for an hour or two – to monitor their behavior. You're looking for kids who get upset, withdraw, can't wait for their turn, dominate other kids, can't sit still, don't pay attention to the instructions, et cetera. Then you admit the kids who looked best.This seems innocuous. It's common practice.However, according to an ongoing study in Germany, what you might have done is just reject some of... -
Duncan Offers Incentives for 'Revolutionary' Overhaul of Teacher Colleges
As I predicted Wednesday, Education Secretary Arne Duncan's major speech at Columbia University this week called on America's teacher colleges to follow the lead of Louisiana, which has been setting the pace nationally in terms of overhauling its schools of education. The state has turned the devastation wrought by Katrina into an opportunity to force through the kind of education reforms that other states just can't seem to muster. One of its most controversial strategies has been to include data on how effectively new graduates are teaching and how much their students are learning when evaluating the quality of teacher colleges and other training programs. ... -
In Defense of Children Behaving Badly
It's widely accepted in our society today that young kids' behavior is a window into their future. When they can't sit still in preschool, or they whack a friend, or they disobey─we recognize these as signs of portent. We all grasp that kids grow out of it, but it's often hard to keep that in mind in the moment. Our vigilance has been piqued by the ADHD phenomenon, which is both good and bad. It's good in the sense we want to spot hyperactivity early, in order to help kids who need it. It's bad in the sense that we judge ordinary childhood misbehaving pretty harshly, through the lens of diagnoses. Amidst these trade-offs, there's common ground─a baseline that educators and parents agree on: children with better behavior at the start of kindergarten are more ready to learn. Behavior and attention go hand in hand. Better behavior leads to improved attention, which in turn leads to soaking up more knowledge. This behavioral-advantage, it's understood, continues for several years.... -

External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid's visit to Beijing next week is under a cloud as he says the progress in the dialogue to end the stand-off in Ladakh is not satisfactory.
Mr. Khurshid, who is scheduled to travel to Beijing on May 9, gave clear indications of uncertainty over the visit, saying that as of now a review was not done, but "what will happen tomorrow, one can't predict today."
India would have liked a "much better response" from China, he said, emphasising that it wanted reversal of the "adverse incident" in Ladakh and return to the status quo in the Depsang Valley where Chinese troops have intruded.
"We haven't reviewed at this stage. We have not found it necessary. We have not... reached that stage of review," he told reporters on way to Iran, asked whether his visit to Beijing was under review. "We haven't found any reason to review our schedules as of now."
Asked whether there was any certainty over his going ahead with the visit, Mr. Khurshid said: "The word certainty is not a good word to use in human affairs. What will happen tomorrow one can't predict today."
He was evasive despite repeated queries, but sources said the visit would "not be worthwhile" if there was no progress in the talks taking place at various levels.
Earlier, in Beijing, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced Mr. Khurshid's visit and said both nations were committed to resolving the dispute over the presence of People's Liberation Army's troops in the Depsang Valley through talks. Mr. Khurshid would meet Chinese leaders and hold talks with Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

- Comment on Laraque throws helmet into federal political ring; carves Parros (2013-07-09 16:21:41)
It's easy to see why Laraque late in his hockey career went to politics. He's the perfect fit for a person with a lot of talking and little action! - Comment on About last night … with audio (2011-12-18 02:36:54)
First comment in a long time and want to throw in my two cents... 1. Wasn't a big Jacques fan, but the timing of this move is flat out wrong! Just before the last home game in a while and now the holidays approach with the players minds elsewhere. 2. I'll give Cunny a chance, but I don't anticipate much of a difference. 3. We fire the coach with the 7th most wins and replace him with a guy who's never coached an NHL game before and add an assistant coach who's never coached at any level! REALLY!! i mean c'mon!!! 4. If they were thinking about this weeks ago as stated by PG, then why not give Muller the call? Same NHL experience as Cunnyworth. Knows the Montreal media far better too. 5. The next move should not be player movement. We have good players, but our finishers are just not finishing. Moen's got 8 goals! What does that say! 6. If this doesn't turn around, I really think Gauthier needs to go. The moves he has made have been very questionable and I feel not very well thought out. Who would we get to replace him? How about Larry Robinson? Should be an ex-player who really know the dame in it's current state. That's it for me! Let's hope for a turnaround! Go Habs Go!! - Comment on New farm club (2010-08-31 22:52:25)
All I got to say is that I don't know why the new ECHL affiliation is perceived as an upgrade from what existed in Cincinnati. You base it on the fact that you can't spell it? Geeeeez! Get with it Geezer Gazette people!
The Cyclones won the league title 2 out of the past 3 years. Yes, it's ECHL, but it's a feather in your cap! Wheeling has been CR@P forever!! The goalie we just traded Desjardins and David Desharnais the center are just a couple of the names that have gone on from Cincinnati to impress in Hamilton and Montreal.
Why take a slug at the Cyclones? I see this as another questionable move by this franchise. Cincy loved having the Canadiens as partners and unfortunately that is over.
- Comment on Habs deal Desjardins to Bolts for Ramo (2010-08-17 16:47:35)
I see this trade as one that will haunt the Habs down the road. I've seen Cedric play in Cincinnati and some AHL all-star moments. The guy has a very bright future ahead of him. Yzerman is no fool! Ramo has already proven he's average at best in the NHL. Cedric will get his chance in the NHL and make some noise.
If Halak and Desjardins blossom, their needs to be a shake-up. I just don't see these moves in the off season benefiting the playing level of the team!
- Comment on The morning after (2010-06-18 10:53:14)
Wow!! Certainly not a popular decision, except in St. Louis.
A real roll of the dice. Perhpas they trade Price and completely overhaul the goaltending situation completely?
Can't wait for the first Halak Hitler rant to show up on Youtube! :)
With more money, Plekanec or Marleau has to be signed. To lose out on keeping or aquiring either of the two is crazy!
Let's hope for the best!
- Comment on Game 64: Canadiens romp over Thrashers (2008-02-26 23:04:55)
I agree with your comment on Huet. Certainly we were in a position to maybe package Huet with a youngster or rental player (like Ryder) to get a solid scorer. I will see Hossa's +/- stats are pretty dreadful. To score that much and still be - 14 or so, it's like getting Souray back all over again. Price looked comfortable tonight. Confident. Perhaps he can do what so many other great Habs goalies have done in the past at his age. In hind sight of the draft, there are many players on our roster that will be seeking a substantial raise for next year. Not having Hossa potentially resigned next year should make resigning our own players who know Carb's system more affordable. Kovalev needs to stay here and resign with us and he is sure to fetch a hefty price. - Comment on Game 63: Canadiens blanked on Gainey Night (2008-02-23 23:42:22)
A pessimist....no A realist.......no A bit radical and ready to panic......maybe This team will start to find it's rhtyhm again. Higgins, Komisarek, Pleks, and the Kostitsyns are just in a funk. Perhaps it's time to play shuffle the lines again. I say after the team plays better once Tuesday comes and goes. - Comment on Game 63: Canadiens blanked on Gainey Night (2008-02-23 23:27:04)
Another interesting stat someone rattled off during the game was that we are the leagures 3rd best offense in regards to goals scored. I checked the stats and believe he is right. So id getting a sniper what we need? - Comment on Game 63: Canadiens blanked on Gainey Night (2008-02-23 23:22:04)
I see that the Leafs beat Atlanta soundly, giving them only one goal. We pretty much have to be considered the BIG favorite in that game. BTW, no Quebec goalie on the roster for Atlanta.....that bodes well for us! - Comment on Game 63: Canadiens blanked on Gainey Night (2008-02-23 23:19:23)
could it be that Ryder has chosen now to pick up his game to enhance his chances of being picked up by another team? Let's say we don't trade Ryder, my gut tells me he goes back to not producing. I LOVE Ryder, I hope I'm wrong but........... I saw plenty of hits delivered by the lower lines, just no chemistry on them in regards to offense. Maybe the didn't produce goals, but the didn't let in the goals either.
