"Listening to Deers is like waking up and being told you're about to live the most fun day of your life." – Paste Magazine
Making their first visit outside of Europe, Hinds (formerly Deers) make raw garage pop generated by a fidgety sleepover club of Spanish young ladies. Founding members, Garcia Perrote and Carlotta Cosials, joined by bandmates Ade Martin and Amber Grimbergen create saccharine sounds about young lust and teenage mischief. Their growing collection of tracks being a by-product of the gang hanging out, without seriousness, more the overheard sounds of a jovial jam between friends.
After initially releasing their fuzzy demos to the internet, Hinds have gained interest worldwide; keeping in great company through opening for the Libertines, touring with Black Lips, and having shared stages with numerous musical idols on the European festival circuit over summer. An impressive trajectory for a band whose youngest member is eighteen and as an outfit that formed less than a year ago.

Popfrenzy are welcoming Welsh indie icon Gruff Rhys back to Australian shores next year for a selection of shows promoting the Super Furry Animals frontman's newest solo work, American Interior.
Welsh rock'n'roll troubadour Gruff Rhys has explored many boundaries of the musical form. Through nine albums with Super Furry Animals, two with Neon Neon (his project with hip hop producer Boom Bip) and handful of solo LPs, Gruff Rhys has distinctively documented the lives of others and set their stories to pop music heavily seeped in timeless melody and wide-eyed wonder.
Proud to highlight his Welsh heritage, American Interior explores the tale of a distant relative, John Evans - a fearless Welsh explorer travelled the Americas in the late 1800's in search of a lost tribe of native Americans that fascinatingly shared is mother tongue. The resulting record is a jolly romp that borrows from traditional Americana sounds but is not completely lacking the familiar, off-kilter Super Furry Animals' influence (hear the computer generated, sung completely in Welsh, Allweddellay Allweddol).
For new listeners and diehards alike Gruff Rhys has covered all bases for the release of American Interior with an accompanying book, mobile app and feature documentary to compliment the record. To supplement this he will be appearing in life on stages in Melbourne and Sydney and also playing Womadelaide throughout March 2015.

Sovet Italia: Leaders in Shaped Glass Contemporary Furniture
Sovet Italia was founded at the end of the 1980's when glass gained incredible traction as a viable material in the furniture market. At the time, innovative glass processing techniques began to pave the way for unique artistic expression in the material. Groundbreaking and functional furniture designs were made possible with a partnership of traditional glass shaping techniques and advanced technologies, allowing for durable glass furniture that was no longer constrained to limited use within traditional design.
A decade later, Sovet Italia confirmed itself as a leader in shaped contemporary glass furniture, having developed a full range of products that stood out for their originality of form, color and finishes. During the years to follow, the company tested new solutions for the use of bent glass and refined its own project culture. And in 2003, Sovet partnered with Altherr Lievore Molina's studio to develop its Divetro Collection: a true turning point for the company. The collection represents an ambitious research project with strong contents of formal and technologic innovation, marked by the chic minimalism of Altherr Lievore Molinas studio.
Today, Sovet Italia continues to expand its offering beyond its origins in glass in order to satisfy the requirements of a broader, more demanding market. The company continues to advance its innovative techniques and designs with renowned designers around the world, constantly pushing the boundaries of glass form in the furniture industry.

i bought a load of soil (very sandy) and composted turkey manure locally (wilmington nc) - it stains my hands so bad you have to use a scrub brush to get it off and tomatoes and peppers do not grow in it. I am looking for possible reasons and solutions. thanks - carl |

carl, why don't you take a sample to your local extension agent and have it tested. That would be the simplest way to determine what needs doing. Could be the turkey manure is still too hot and the compost mixture lacks the necessary microbes to further break it down to a form useable by the plants you want to raise. |

I love this coat, it's very cute. In black the metallic property is very subtle. The faux-shearling is amazingly soft and very warm. It's very stylish and I ride on the back of my boyfriend's motorcycle and it's a perfect length and helps with the wind from the ride. I would recommend this jacket to anyone looking for a motorcycle-style jacket or even just a warm jacket for the cold winter nights. I like all the details on the jacket and imagine it will last a long time with such quality. Gotta love Via Spiga, warm and style all in one for a reasonable Overstock price!
Size was prefect but color did not match up, greyish pink color
A jacket to enjoy all year round. It's beautifully crafter and comfortable. Look like a million in it. Terrific jacket at an excellent price.
If the color was really black I might have kept it but it was a kind of spotted black and grey similar to snakeskin. The jacke fit well and looked good but I could not get past the color.
Great cozy warm coat...looks like leather but isn't; had lots of compliments already

Horse Racing
Canterbury Park Breaks Season Record
Celebrating a resurgence of racing, Canterbury Park wrapped up one of its most successful seasons in its colorful history. Over the course of 69 days, attendance and handle, which is the amount of money bet on Canterbury races, rose to the highest levels since 1995.
Female Announcer Makes History At Canterbury Park
Angela Hermann has called races before, but never a full thoroughbred card. No woman in North America ever has, until Saturday. "I've loved horse racing since I was 11," Hermann said. "I've loved it since I was a little girl. When I watched the Kentucky Derby in 1998, I picked the winner, Real Quiet, that year, and I was hooked. I was completely hooked."

It is a day that Angela Herrmann will never forget: May 2, 1998. As an 11-year-old girl, Herrmann sat transfixed in front of her television as Real Quiet won the Kentucky Derby.
Palace Malice Scores Upset In Belmont Stakes
Palace Malice took charge on the turn for home and won the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, holding off Preakness winner Oxbow and Kentucky Derby winner Orb. The win gave Todd Pletcher his second Belmont win in six years, and vindicated the trainer's support of a 3-year-old who came into the final leg of the Triple Crown with only one victory. Palace Malice, who finished 12th in the Derby and skipped the Preakness, covered the 1½ miles in a slow 2:30.70 on a fast track following a 24-hour downpour.
How I'd Bet $100 On The Preakness Stakes
Since 2000, seven post-time favorites have won the Preakness. There is no doubt that this year's post-time favorite will be Kentucky Derby winner Orb.
Preakness Stakes: Orb Pursues Part Two Of The Triple Crown
It's hard to surmise a scenario where we aren't talking about yet another pending attempt to end racing's long wait for the twelfth Triple Crown winner after this year's Preakness.

The 139th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs had a field of 19 horses, with Orb topping the field in just over two minutes.

Canterbury Park will have a longer racing season next year. The Minnesota Racing Commission Thursday approved a 69-day thoroughbred and quarter horse race meet for the Shakopee track in 2013.
A 'Royal' Field Lined Up For The Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic
The Ladies' Classic is clearly the best race of Breeders' Cup weekend which is scheduled for Friday and Saturday at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. The field of eight fillies and mares have won a combined fifty-seven races from ninety-four starts, an incredible 60% winning percentage.
Canterbury Has Make-Up Day Due To Heat Wave
For horse racing fans, Saturday is business as usual at Canterbury Park. The 12 race program begins at 1:30 p.m. and includes two stakes races.
Union Rags Nips Paynter To Win Belmont Stakes
Union Rags nipped Paynter at the wire in a photo finish Saturday to win the Belmont Stake, beating a field without Triple Crown hopeful I'll Have Another, who was retired with an injury the day before.
Dark Star Memorialized At Canterbury
A fitting tribute was held Saturday for a long-time local sports personality with a passion for horse racing. Friends and fans remembered the life of Dark Star, a long-time WCCO Radio personality, former host of a TV show called "Canterbury Report", and a Vietnam War veteran.
Local Horse Experts: I'll Have Another's Scratch Devastating
The Triple Crown achievement in horse racing is safe for another year. I'll Have Another, the victor at the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, suffered a tendon injury and won't run in Saturday's Belmont Stakes.

XL Airways Germany has named Bertolt Flick to succeed Martin Greiffenhagen as managing director with immediate effect.
Flick was president, chief executive and the second largest shareholder of Latvian flag carrier Air Baltic until last October.
The Latvian government, which controlled 52.6% of Air Baltic at the time, demanded Flick's removal in return for a recapitalisation to secure the ailing airline's future. As part of that restructuring, the state took over the 47.2% stake owned by Flick's company Baltijas Aviacijas Sistemas.
Flick initially became involved with Air Baltic as a government adviser. He took over the helm in 2002.
Greiffenhagen announced his resignation last month from the Frankfurt-based charter carrier for another job in the aviation industry.
That followed XL Airways Germany's acquisition by Swiss-American investment firm BeachSide Capital in December 2011 from Icelandic bank Straumur.

After I have liposuction, should I also plan to have a tummy tuck to address the issue of loose skin? I associate liposuction with dreams of a perfect body, but will my body look right after the fat is removed?
Liposuction and the Perfect Body?
Doctor Answers (12)
The answer to your question depends on the condition of your skin and its ability to "snap back" after liposuction. I can't answer this without at least a photo. I recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a consultation and evaluation. If the skin will not shrink back on it's own, yes, a tummy tuck may be necessary to remove the excess skin. Best wishes.
Perfect is hard to get - in anything. And that certainly applies to surgery. Instead, you should assess your own body and the advantages and disadvantages of the available procedures. Lipo is appropriate for patients who have excess fat but generally good skin tone; a TT when there is relatively more excess skin than excess fat. Neither is necessarily perfect but both are excellent procedures. So the questions really are what do you look like now, and what are you willing to undergo? Lipo may leave excess or dimply skin; a TT will leave a scar. Which is perfect? I would suggest that you visit a few PS to get different ideas of which options are most beneficial for you.
I hope that this helps, and good luck,
Dr. E
Web reference: http://www.bodysculpture.com
how well the skin will shrink after liposuction depends greatly on the quality of the skin and the amount of fat removed. The more fat and the poorer quality of skin, te more likely you will have loose skin after the liposuction. You should look at liposuction as something that will improve your shape, but not look for the perfect body.
You might also like...
Lipo works but can cause waviness to the skin in some individuals so a skin tightening procedure might be needed to get the absolute best result (perfect?....no). It really depends on what area is being treated and your age and quality of your skin. Abdomen and inner thighs...prone to waviness...Hips, less so...Age? After 40 more waviness...many factors involved...
Thank you for your question. However, photos or a direct physical examination will be needed to answer your question. We do SmartLipo and that helps with skin tightening but there are limits as to how much. If you have too much loose skin to start out with, you may need a tummy tuck as a secondary procedure.
No one has the perfect body. Everyone always has some small issues that they are unhappy about. Liposuction can address excess fatty components, and a tummy tuck can address loose skin and a diastasis of the muscles.
Before you consider any surgery, make sure you have realist expectations. A perfect body is seen in magazines where the images are manipulated to make imperfections and normal variations disappear. In reality, there are few "perfect bodies" and surgery may not be the best way to do it. If you do have realistic expectations, then you need to be evaluated by a Board Certified plastic surgeon who can determine the likelihood of needing a tummy tuck after liposuction. This will depend on your age, skin and abdominal muscle quality and overall medical condition.
The "perfect body", pursued daily by all plastic surgeons throughout our professional careers, is a nebulous concept. Some would contend that your body before any surgery is perfect, because it is the one that nature, in its perfect wisdom, granted you. If you are seeking popular society's idea of perfection, plastic surgery can help, but the ability of cosmetic procedures to provide this sought after perfection is limited, and depends mostly upon your starting point. Liposuction treats localized excess fat, and tummy tuck also treats well defined problems, and has established indications. These procedures are adjuncts to healthy diet and regular exercise to achieve overall appearance goals. Without photos and/or personal examination, it is impossible to comment more specifically.

I think photos would really help. Liposuction alone does not remove skin. If you have had children or significant weight fluctuations then you will probably need skin removal as well but that is hard to say without seeing you. If you have a lot of stretch marks then a tummy tuck is probably a better option. Good luck!

Hi there-
While I do believe that well-selected patients can often achieve amazing improvements in their body's appearance in the hands of ethical, experienced surgeons Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery, even the best of us would need to meet you to discuss your goals and examine you carefully before being able to make even basic recommendations...
I would recommend that you visit a surgeon in your area for an opinion.
Remember- your chances if safety and happiness will depend most on who you let operate on you, and NOT on which machine they use, and I would specifically avoid those who try to make you believe you'll have a better experience or outcome because of the machine they use... If they need to sell you on the machine they use or give the procedure a cute name ("Aqualipo!"), I would have to wonder about their skills as a liposuction surgeon, and more importantly, about their sense of ethics.

Supplementing women with any vitamins does not reduce the number of women who miscarry or have a stillbirth.
Poor diet, without enough vitamins, has been associated with an increased risk of women losing their baby in early pregnancy. Taking vitamin supplements prior to pregnancy or in early pregnancy may reduce the risk of miscarriage, but this review did not find this to be the case. However, women taking vitamin supplements before or at the time of conception may be more likely to have a multiple pregnancy. More research is needed to determine the impact of different combinations of vitamins. This review included 28 trials involving 96,674 women (98,267 pregnancies).
This record should be cited as:

2. Gurren Lagann
What can I say?? With Yoko!!...& the mecha!!...& the battles!!...this anime series is about as good as it gets!! Plus it pokes fun at anime, isn't set in a high school & is full of surprises. The theme of believing yourself is both corny & inspiring!! I simply love it. |

About Christopher's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
In my teen years my father, my brothers, and I rebuilt an old Bronco for my oldest brother to have when he recieved his license. In my high school years most of my close friends had fast cars, most of which were Mustangs. So in my high school years I spent many weekends at the races. I have always been a truck and SUV fan. I would like a nice car to take out from time to time but not as a daily driver.
My first car
1996 GMC Sierra, as basic as you could get.
Car I wish I still had
I enjoyed my 2000 F-150 Lariat, next in line to my Tahoe
My dream car
Dodge Viper, old Jaguar, or Shelby Cobra

Saints looking at Poole
Saints | Looking At Poole - from www.KFFL.com
Tue, 23 Mar 2004 11:35:41 -0800 Brian Allee-Walsh, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports New Orleans Saints officials, including head coach Jim Haslett, are traveling to Los Angeles on Tuesday, March 23, to attend USC CB Will Poole's pro day. Will Poole CB USC Strengths Will is the new size CB that the NFL now needs to go up against the pro WRÃÆââÃâìâÃââs. He is fast and strong. He is a fighter and uses his body to slow up the WRÃÆââÃâìâÃââs. New cover techniques are needed and Will is learning them fast. Will is a good tackler and has good hands to intercept the ball. Will had seven interceptions in his senior year. Needs to Improve Will is a little stiff in the hips. His long legs make it hard to change direction. Will has to learn that in the pros, you can only bump for five yards, not all over the field like the college game allows. Bottom Line Every time I see Will play, he gets better and better. With his size and the improvement that I have seen on film, you can bet the scouts will look hard at Will. In fact, he could sneak into the first round. He has pretty good speed, but he is not as quick as most corners in the NFL. Without the quickness, the scouts may not feel that Will is an every down CB. ThatÃÆââÃâìâÃââs the big question -- his quickness. His quickness, or lack of quickness, will dictate if he is a 1st or 2nd rounder. I think the standards for a CB are changing very quickly in the NFL. Every team needs at least one corner that can handle a big receiver in the red zone. This type of corner is not going to be as quick as the smaller ones. This type of corner needs to be physical and have good straight-line speed. He does not have to change direction quickly because those big, long-legged receivers cannot make their cuts as fast. This is what makes a physical strong, tall, good speed corner so valuable in the NFL today. Five or six years ago, Will is a fourth rounder that you would move to safety as a project. Today, he is exactly what teams are looking forÃÆââÃâìÃâæa big, tall, strong corner to cover a 6ÃÆââÃâìâÃââ5ÃÆââà âì?-220 lbs-4.50 speed wide receiver that is out-muscling our ÃÆââÃâìÃâ¹ÃÅ5'9"-185 lbs-4.40 speed with great quickness and change of directionÃÆââÃâìâÃââ pro bowl corner. (That's a mouthful.) I am going to guess that Will goes in the 2nd round, but heÃÆââÃâìâÃââs another player that could sneak into the latter part of the first round.

Hopefully we are looking at him for the 2nd round, or as someone to target in a trade-down in case Vilma is gone. I can\'t imagine taking him at 18.

The Russian "punk cooperative" Pussy Riot has been given a two-year sentence in a prison camp after their conviction for "hooliganism" at an anti-government demonstration in a Moscow cathedral earlier this year. This is a tough punishment for an offence that, according to some sources, would normally be covered by a $12 dollar fine, but it stays well below the seven years that had originally been under discussion when the trial opened in early August.
So what is awaiting the three young women in their camp? According to the Russian media and the AFP wire service, currently 59,000 women are being held in fifty camps scattered across the Russian Federation. Russian prison camps are surrounded by barbed wire and watchtowers, and consist of administrative buildings, dormitory barracks, and work areas. The women wear green uniforms and are awakened every morning at six for roll call, which is held outdoors as long as the temperature is above -22° F. The prisoners sleep in barracks containing between 100 and 120 inmates and have three meters of personal space each. Hygiene is poor and privacy is a rare commodity.
While this might sound like a scenario out of Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago, Russian camps have cleaned up their act since the fall of communism. The Pussy Riot members will be given "normal treatment" as long as they abide by camp rules. By some accounts, female prisoners can receive unlimited packages (although this figure is in dispute). They are allowed to spend up to $370 of their own money each month and can also earn between $30 and $60 per month sewing government uniforms. This labor is voluntary, however.
Unlike gulag prisoners, today's female inmates may receive visitors: Up to six brief visits of up to four hours and four long visits of up to three days every year. For the long visits from spouses or family members, the women are granted a separate room. Non-family members must be cleared first by the authorities. They may telephone once a month for not longer than fifteen minutes.
The rules are extremely strict and violations are normally punished by the denial of privileges and isolation.
But although camp conditions have improved markedly since Stalin's day, the experience is likely to be harrowing for the three young women. They will be living side by side with convicted murderers and thieves for two whole years. Violent clashes between rival gangs and individual prisoners are endemic. Visitation privileges will probably concern them most, since two of them Nadeshda Tolokonnikova and Yekaterina Samutsevich, have small children at home, from whom they have been separated for six months already.

Many observers in Russia anticipate that the women will be released early "so that these idiots can go home and see their children and relatives," as the newspaper Komosomolskaya Pravda wrote today. If not, then their sentence represents a strong punishment for sixty seconds of anti-Putin "punk prayer." If prison camp life doesn't break their spirits, the destruction of their young families might just do the trick. Whether or not Pussy Riot repents its behavior, the message for the rest of Russian society couldn't be clearer: You don't mess with Vladimir Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church.

I'm an atheist but even I know that one does not offer such disrespect to the people that are in attendance in a church. A political protest belongs in a political venue - not a religious one. Perhaps in 2 years they'll understand the difference.
I'm in no way justifying their actions, although I do recognize that they are rebelling against a stifling alliance of Throne and Altar of a kind not seen since the days of the tsars, and so protest forms are likely to get a little extravagant. (Femen does most of theirs topless.) If we feel that we're beyond the need for such juvenile displays in our society, then we're very lucky. Young Russians, not so much.
Look who's wanting them Rooshin leaders "held to a higher standard" and sympathizing with arrogant, unthinking, unfeeling brats who choose to offer their offensive political protest in a church while believers were in attendance at a religious service. Have you forgotten that they were NOT invited?
Not one of you would be hollering for anything less than capital punishment if that happened in YOUR church!! Those girls would be tarred & feathered and beaten black & blue!
Can you not escape the anti-Russian propaganda still stuck in your heads from the cold war days?
Let me remind you of something: "Those who live in glass houses ought not to throw stones."
And one more: "DoI hear the pot calling the kettle black?"
Those women had far, far more warnings than YOUR (or MY) government would have given them.
Your sanctimonious expressions of outrage ring very hollow indeed.

Amy Goodman (born April 13, 1957) is an American broadcast journalist, syndicated columnist, investigative reporter and author. Goodman's investigative journalism career includes coverage of the East Timor independence movement and Chevron Corporation's role in Nigeria. Since 1996, Goodman has hosted Democracy Now!, an independent global news program broadcast daily on radio, television and the Internet. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Thomas Merton Award in 2004, a Right Livelihood Award in 2008, and an Izzy Award in 2009 for "special achievement in independent media". In 2012, Goodman received the Gandhi Peace Award for a "significant contribution to the promotion of an enduring international peace". Goodman is the author of five books, including the 2012 The Silenced Majority: Stories of Uprisings, Occupations, Resistance, and Hope.[2]
Amy Goodman was born on April 13, 1957, in Washington, D.C.[3] Her father, George Goodman, was an ophthalmologist and her mother, Dorothy (née Bock), a social worker.[4] Goodman is of Orthodox Jewish heritage; her maternal grandfather was an Orthodox Rabbi.[5][6] Raised in Bay Shore, New York, she graduated from Bay Shore High School in 1975, and from Radcliffe College in 1984, with a degree in anthropology.[7] Goodman spent a year studying at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine.[8][not in citation given]
In 1991, covering the East Timor independence movement, Goodman and fellow journalist Allan Nairn reported that they were badly beaten by Indonesian soldiers after witnessing a mass killing of Timorese demonstrators in what became known as the Santa Cruz Massacre.[9]
In 1998, Goodman and journalist Jeremy Scahill documented Chevron Corporation's role in a confrontation between the Nigerian Army and villagers who had seized oil rigs and other equipment belonging to oil corporations. Two villagers were shot and killed during the standoff.[10] On May 28, 1998, the company provided helicopter transport to the Nigerian Navy and Mobile Police (MOPOL) to their Parabe oil platform which had been occupied by villagers who accused the company of contaminating their land. Soon after landing, the Nigerian military shot and killed two of the protesters, Jola Ogungbeje and Aroleka Irowaninu, and wounded 11 others. Chevron spokesperson Sola Omole acknowledged that the company transported the troops, and that use of troops was at the request of Chevron's management. The documentary, "Drilling and Killing: Chevron and Nigeria's Oil Dictatorship", won the George Polk Award in 1998.
Michael Delli Carpini, dean of the Annenberg School for Communication, said, "She's not an editorialist. She sticks to the facts... She provides points of view that make you think, and she comes at it by saying: 'Who are we not hearing from in the traditional media?'"[11]
Goodman had been news director of Pacifica Radio station WBAI in New York City for over a decade when she co-founded Democracy Now! The War and Peace Report in 1996. Since then, Democracy Now! has been called "probably the most significant progressive news institution that has come around in some time" by professor and media critic Robert McChesney.[12]
In 2001, the show was temporarily pulled off the air, as a result of a conflict with a group of Pacifica Radio board members and Pacifica staff members and listeners. During that time, it moved to a converted firehouse from which it broadcast until November 13, 2009.[13] Democracy Now! subsequently moved to a studio located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.[14]
Goodman credits the program's success to the mainstream media organizations who leave "a huge niche" for Democracy Now![12]
When President Bill Clinton called WBAI on Election Day 2000[15] for a quick get-out-the-vote message, Goodman and WBAI's Gonzalo Aburto challenged him for 28 minutes with questions about Leonard Peltier, racial profiling, the Iraq sanctions, Ralph Nader, the death penalty, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the normalization of relations with Cuba, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Clinton defended his administration's policies and charged Goodman with being "hostile and combative".[16]
During the 2008 Republican National Convention, several of Goodman's colleagues from Democracy Now! were arrested and detained by police while reporting on an anti-war protest outside the RNC.[17] While trying to ascertain the status of her colleagues, Goodman herself was arrested and held, accused of obstructing a legal process and interfering with a police officer,[18] while fellow Democracy Now! producers including reporter Sharif Abdel Kouddous were held on charges of probable cause for riot.[19] The arrests of the producers were videotaped.[20] Goodman and her colleagues were later released,[21] and City Attorney John Choi indicated that the charges would be dropped.[22] Goodman's (et al.) civil lawsuit against the St. Paul and Minneapolis police departments and the Secret Service resulted in a $100,000 settlement, as well as an agreement to educate officers in First Amendment rights of members of the press and public.[23][24][25]
On November 25, 2009, Goodman was detained for approximately 90 minutes at the Douglas border crossing into Canada while en route to a scheduled meeting at the Vancouver Public Library.[26] During an interview of her and her colleagues, Immigration officials asked questions pertaining to their intended topics of discussion at the meeting. They wanted to know whether she would be speaking about the 2010 Olympic Games to be held in Canada.[27]
"I was completely surprised by what he was asking and did not know what he was getting at. I'm an anti-sports fan," she told a CBC Radio interviewer. "At Democracy Now!, we don't cover sports much."[27]
Goodman was eventually permitted to enter Canada after the customs authorities took four photographs of her and stapled a "control document" into her passport demanding that she leave Canada within 48 hours.[27][28] MSNBC's Keith Olbermann commented: "If you're that desperate to prevent criticism of some Olympic games, you shouldn't detain a noted commentator and write her scripts for her."[29]
Dave Zirin of the Huffington Post quotes Derrick O'Keefe, co-chair of the Canadian Peace Alliance, as saying: "It's pretty unlikely that the harassment of a well-known and respected journalist like Amy Goodman about whether she might be speaking about the Olympics was the initiative of one over-zealous, bad-apple Canadian border guard. This looks like a clear sign of the chill that the IOC and the Games' local corporate boosters want to put out against any potential dissent."[30]
Goodman has received dozens[31] of awards for her work, including the Robert F. Kennedy Prize for International Reporting (1993, with Allan Nairn)[32] and the George Polk Award (1998, with Jeremy Scahill).[33] In 1999, she declined to accept the Overseas Press Club Award, in protest of the group's pledge not to ask questions of keynote speaker Ambassador Richard Holbrooke and because the OPC was honoring Indonesia for their improved treatment of journalists despite the fact that its forces had recently beaten and killed reporters in occupied East Timor.[34]
On October 2, 2004, Goodman was presented the Islamic Community Award for Journalism by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.[35] On November 18, 2004, she was presented the Thomas Merton Award.[36] In 2006 she received the Puffin/Nation Prize for Creative Citizenship.[37]
Goodman was a recipient of the 2008 Right Livelihood Award, often called the "Alternative Nobel Prize". The Right Livelihood Award Foundation cited her work in "developing an innovative model of truly independent grassroots political journalism that brings to millions of people the alternative voices that are often excluded by the mainstream media".[38]
On March 31, 2009, Goodman was the recipient, along with Glenn Greenwald, of the first Izzy Award (named after journalist I. F. "Izzy" Stone) for "special achievement in independent media". The award is presented by Ithaca College's Park Center for Independent Media.[39]
In May 2012, Goodman received an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from DePauw University in recognition of her journalistic work[40] and the Gandhi Peace Award for a "significant contribution to the promotion of an enduring international peace".[41][42]
On May 16, 2014, Goodman received an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Purchase College, SUNY in recognition of her progressive journalism.
In 2006, Goodman narrated the film One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern. Directed by Stephen Vittoria, the documentary chronicles the life and times of George McGovern, focusing on his failed 1972 bid for the presidency. The film features McGovern, Gloria Steinem, Gore Vidal, Warren Beatty, Howard Zinn, Ron Kovic, and Dick Gregory. The film won the Sarasota Film Festival's award for "Best Documentary Feature."

A number of UK schools are encouraging students to bring their own laptops, smartphones and tablets to ICT lessons as a means to improve their education in the subject.
As a result the Open University is running a national survey to assess whether this trend could possibly be taken nationwide. V3 interviewed Peter Twining, a senior lecturer at the university, about the survey's launch.
The Your Own Technology Survey (YOTS) has been launched to all schools nationwide and aims to find out how many UK school children have access to a range on internet-enabled devices.
YOTS has been developed as part of the Open University's professional development Vital programme, which is partly funded by the Department for Education (DfE).
Twining, an Open University senior lecturer, said ICT and computer science learning needs to be improved, but a major challenge facing all schools at the moment is the lack of budget available for them to procure technology.
"There are innovations taking place in English schools that could lead to big changes in how [ICT] is taught," said Twining.
"This has been triggered by the increasing numbers of pupils who own their own tablets, as well as a reduction in funding to schools."
Twining was referring to the dramatic 50 percent cuts the government made to the Harnessing Technology Grant in 2010. The capital was available to schools to support investment in technology for education.
Now, two years have passed since this grant was cut, and many schools have to think about how they are going to renew their IT kit.
"Many schools have realised they have to be more creative in how they finance their technology. Some see that many students have technology in their pocket and at home, and start thinking about whether they can use that stuff."
"The number of UK schools going down the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) route at the moment is very small, but more and more are beginning to consider it. There's clearly a substantial interest in the school community on whether BYOD is the way forward.
The alternative to schools encouraging pupils to bringing their own devices to IT lessons is for parents to subsidise the technology.
"In many cases parents may actually prefer the BYOD model as then the students are using technology they have already bought them, and don't have to pay £16 a month or so," said Twining.
"It also depends on the teacher and whether they want all kids to have exactly the same device."

Do you have rule against bringing pre packaged foods into your house? Like muffin mix, cake mix and such?
Whole Foods Lifestyle - packaged foodsView Full Version : packaged foods Snowbunny 09-25-2007, 05:48 PM Do you have rule against bringing pre packaged foods into your house? Like muffin mix, cake mix and such? baffled111 09-25-2007, 06:27 PM I've never really understood cake mix. Why not just mix the flour and eggs and stuff together yourself? It always tastes much better and I don't see that the mix significantly cuts down on labor. It's not a rule for me, we just don't do it. For the most part, I prefer to make things from scratch. One big exception is chicken stock. Pacific Organic Chicken broth tastes just as good as anything I've ever made. :) phantastica 09-25-2007, 06:27 PM I don't have any particular rule, but I mostly live alone. My teenager comes home every other weekend, so I tend to have a box of macaroni and cheese on hand for him. Since I'm "cooking for one", I find myself purchasing some prepackaged foods (sometimes, all the kitchen prep and cooking doesn't seem worth it), from Trader Joe's or Whole Foods if possible. Other times, I'm really good about cooking my own "convenience foods" and freezing them. LOL, baffled, until I was about 20 I thought baking a cake from a box WAS baking from scratch! HA. I still haven't baked a cake from scratch. kaplods 09-25-2007, 08:52 PM I don't remember where or when I read it, but I read an article several years ago in a frugality publication on pre-made mixes like chili, cake from a box, macaroni and cheese, hot chocolate.... and comparing them to homemade, in cost, time of preparation and taste. Cake mixes came out as the best value (in most cases actually cheaper and better tasting than homemade, unless you bought flour and sugar in 20 lb bags or larger). I rarely bake, especially now that I'm limiting simple starches, so I haven't had a cake mix in the house for years, but I do have some low-gluten baking mix in the cupboard that I bought in the health food section of a local discount store. I haven't used it yet though. I also have some scone mix. I use bottled salad dressings and marinades, and canned soups. I'm definitely not hardcore, and make a few compromises, but for the most part, the food in our house would be recognizeable by our great grandparents, so we're making progress. baffled111 09-25-2007, 09:22 PM LOL, baffled, until I was about 20 I thought baking a cake from a box WAS baking from scratch! HA. I still haven't baked a cake from scratch. LOL. That is a terrible story! I started baking when I was really little--5 or 6--and I've never yet used a mix. I don't think they taste good AT ALL; you can always tell when you're eating cake from a mix, imho. Some of those things are a terrible rip-off, too. Bisquick is basically flour, baking powder and salt. I don't care how incompetent a person is in the kitchen, she can still mix flour, salt and baking powder together on her own! Colleen: I like your criterion that food should be recognizable to your great-grandparents. That's a really good way of thinking about it. onthetee 09-27-2007, 12:07 AM Trader Joe's Vanilla Bean cake mix is too yummy. We get it rarely because it calls for a cup of melted butter (see why it tastes so good?) and has a million cals in it. We have some processed things for my son, which we all share. He has food allergies, so we have Soy Garden butter-ish spread, Soy-gurt and some other things. We buy commercial bread. I try to make a much as I can with the bread machine, but that seems to drop off in the summer and I pick up again in the fall. Trader Joe's frozen pizza. Amy's kitchen soups. I love soup, and yet I am terrible at making it. Even from a recipe, it is never too yummy. SoulBliss 09-27-2007, 12:39 AM I don't remember where or when I read it, but I read an article several years ago in a frugality publication on pre-made mixes like chili, cake from a box, macaroni and cheese, hot chocolate.... and comparing them to homemade, in cost, time of preparation and taste. Cake mixes came out as the best value (in most cases actually cheaper and better tasting than homemade, unless you bought flour and sugar in 20 lb bags or larger). Perhaps in terms of calories per dollar they are the "best value", but in terms of nutritional value and taste, I can say that I am sure a natural whole-foods cake would beat out any boxed commercial stuff. When faced with the choice, I'd gladly mix up an organic, GMO-free, partially-hydrogenated oil-free, trans-fat free, HFCS-free and cholesterol-free cake any day! RosieKate 09-27-2007, 11:24 AM Not a rule per se, but we eschew HFCS, refined flour, and trans fats...so that naturally excludes most pre-made mixes. The mixes that meet those requirements are kind of spendy and we'll only use them if we are in a BIG hurry.. I have also found that making things from scratch to be easier and not as time consuming as I have previously believed. I just baked some muffins from scratch for my kids' breakfast. Took less than 5 minutes to mix up and get into the oven. They baked for 15-17 minutes while everyone was getting ready. I used to think baking or cooking from scratch was too much bother, but once I had a pantry set up and learned how to plan ahead a little, it wasn't that bad. AnneWonders 09-27-2007, 11:32 AM In keeping with our house philosophy of doing it better and not necessarily doing it perfectly, I make cakes and stuff maybe once a year, so I typically use the boxed stuff. If I did it more often I'd worry about it. Not so thrilled with the commercial frosting available, both in terms of being heavy and loaded with trans-fats. I'll probably do something simpler next time, confectioners sugar w/ water or the like. Anne phantastica 09-27-2007, 11:35 AM You're right, Baffled, it's a terrible story! hahahaha. I guess the good part is that I've probably only baked three cakes my entire life, none of which have been done in my adult life. I seldom bake, and if I do it's usually a banana bread, zucchini bread, or my son's favorite cookies - I cook them "from scratch", not from those boxed mixes or frozen doughs - :lol:. If I took pride and pleasure in baking, I'd be more holistic about it. kaplods 09-27-2007, 12:18 PM My point on cake mixes wasn't that there isn't a better way to do it, just that there is a reason some people use them and it isn't a nutritional or taste tragedy. Baking intimidates a lot of people, and unlike other basic cooking techniques, does require a precise formula or recipe. Some would argue that even whole grain flours are a processed food, and I'm not going to go down that extreme a road, but cake, whether made from scratch and whole grains or not, is never going to qualify as a health food and shouldn't be a diet staple. If you're making a cake once a year or less, I think there are bigger and better battles to fight than whether or not you use a mix. I'll admit I'm very biased in this area, as I've made a cake (from a mix) or any dessert for that matter, maybe three times in my five year marriage, and probably three times in the prior 17 years of my adult life before that. (Un)fortunately, I did not gain my weight on dessert, or even snack foods for that matter. I like food, and I like real food best, so addressing my weight problems is going to involve a lot more than just switching to a whole foods diet. SoulBliss 09-27-2007, 01:12 PM Some would argue that even whole grain flours are a processed food, and I'm not going to go down that extreme a road, but cake, whether made from scratch and whole grains or not, is never going to qualify as a health food and shouldn't be a diet staple. :yes: Flour *is* "processed. Everything not eaten in a raw, unadulterated form is "processed", but I will not become a raw foodist as it isn't the best choice for me and my health. Been there, done that and it wasn't balanced! (Un)fortunately, I did not gain my weight on dessert, or even snack foods for that matter. I like food, and I like real food best, so addressing my weight problems is going to involve a lot more than just switching to a whole foods diet. I also didn't gain weight on desserts or snack foods either. I am a foodie! I LOVE good food, real, wholesome food...I just eat too much of it! :lol: SoulBliss 10-01-2007, 01:06 AM "Healthy" Fruit and Vegetable Cake 2 cups whole wheat flour 1 1/2 cups raw shredded carrots 1 cup raw shredded beets 3 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar 1 cup applesauce (unsweetened) 1 cup blended pineapple 1 very ripe mashed banana 1 tsp. vanilla extract 3 T. ground flax 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/2 cup chopped dates, dried mango or whole raisins Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour and baking soda in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat maple syrup (or agave), apple cider vinegar, ground flax, pineapple, banana, and applesauce together. Stir in the vanilla and mix well. Combine the wet and dry flour mixtures along with the chopped walnuts and mix. Add the shredded carrots and beets, mixing well. Spread in a nonstick 9 X 9 baking pan. Bake 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. VelVeeta 10-03-2007, 06:48 PM No I don't have a rule in my house- while I do like to steer towards homemade and organic food products, prepackaged snacks help get me through the day without over eating, or if I don't have as much time that week to cook. I'm also not a huge believe in hfcs being all bad for you. It's equal to sugar in my mind, and I'm a big proponent of "everything in moderation" is fine. SoulBliss 10-03-2007, 06:54 PM This is a great read: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2004/02/18/FDGS24VKMH1.DTL Loading high fructose corn syrup into increasingly larger portions of soda and processed food has packed more calories into us and more money into food processing companies, say nutritionists and food activists. But some health experts argue that the issue is bigger than mere calories. The theory goes like this: The body processes the fructose in high fructose corn syrup differently than it does old-fashioned cane or beet sugar, which in turn alters the way metabolic-regulating hormones function. It also forces the liver to kick more fat out into the bloodstream. The end result is that our bodies are essentially tricked into wanting to eat more and at the same time, we are storing more fat. Glory87 10-03-2007, 11:09 PM Hmm, no rule per se. I just try to do the best I can everyday to eat mostly whole foods and avoid most processed foods. The cake batter example is an odd one for me - I don't keep sweets in the house, so I wouldn't have cake batter. I try to keep sweets as isolated, single portion incidents outside the home! If I were going to make a cake (maybe for an event??) I guess I would use a mix, since I'm not much of a baker. I did recently make a cheesecake from scratch, it wasn't too hard :) The processed stuff I buy is balanced with the convenience factor - I would love the time to make my own pasta, bread, tortillas, salsa, granola, etc etc. but I just don't have that kind of time (or I choose not to make the time). I do have strict rules (for myself) for white flour and packaged baked goods products, those I try never to eat and wouldn't bring into the house. Some other processed foods set off my "triggers" like crackers and cold cereal, so I usually don't buy those (although I don't think there's anything wrong with Kashi organic crackers, I just don't want to eat a whole box in one night). Suzanne 3FC 10-04-2007, 10:20 AM I check the ingredient panel. I put most things back on the shelf, but will still buy unusual sauces, seasonings, etc. I also buy canned soup, as long as it's organic and the ingredient panel looks good. I enjoy cooking from scratch for a lot of reasons. I also prefer bringing less packaging into the house, unless it's recyclable. phantastica 10-04-2007, 10:58 AM Suzanne, what types of things do you check for on the ingredient panel? I avoid HCFS, trans-fats, and I look for a carb-to-fiber ratio of 15:2. I just recently started noticing sodium, too. SoulBliss 10-04-2007, 11:01 AM You didn't ask me, but I wanted to chime in anyway...I look for and avoid all those things plus preservatives and artificial sweeteners and colors. WaterRat 10-04-2007, 03:33 PM I don't have a rule. I try to avoid HFCS and trans-fats, and don't buy many packaged foods or mixes. I do however, buy canned beans, soups and tomatoes. (You wouldn't recognize what passes for a "fresh" tomato in Alaska, never mind that they're nearly $4/lb!) as well as pasta, tortillas, etc. I will buy - in the natural foods section - interesting sounding sauces or soups, but if I like them I'll try to recreate them. Baking - I have baked since I was in 4th grade or so. Mostly from scratch except angel food cake (which I have done a few times, but all those egg whites..... ). I bake bread a lot. Lately I've been using a bread maker to make the dough then remove it, knead slightly and shape for the second rising. I find the shape and texture much better than completely baked in the bread machine. My DH can't digest whole wheat well, so I usually make two kinds of bread, cut each in 1/2 or 1/3rds and freeze a portion. One downside to no preservatives is how fast stuff goes bad. Ready2ShedLBS 11-13-2007, 12:09 PM I am a baker. I dont use box anything to make cakes or the like. I even make any frostings or fillings by hand. I actually was going to be a pastry chef, but have now switched gears and am going to be a registered dietician ha. I figured I needed a profession that doesnt encourage obesity. Anyways.. it does taste better, and it is better for you to make it yourself, not calorie wise but "garbage" wise. I even make my own marshmallows :) Let me tell you.. they are so much better then you could even imagine then the bagged crap :) Anyways.. yeah.. so I dont buy pre packaged anything except veggie burgers and thats because I cant seem to learn to make those. If anyone knows.. hook me up :) SoulBliss 11-13-2007, 05:07 PM I will look for my veggie burger recipes! Do you have a good recipe for vegetarian or vegan marshmallows? ;) Ready2ShedLBS 11-14-2007, 04:40 PM all marshmallows are, are sugar, water, and corn syrup. Definitely not a clean food lol. Now.. maybe if you used raw sugar or cane syrup, I dunno. Im lost on that one.. lol. I havent made marshmallows since I have been trying to eat "clean-ER" vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

For general information regarding educator licensure/certification and to print application forms see the ODE Educator Licensure web link.
The Resident Educator Program is a vehicle for providing direct assistance to Ohio's beginning teachers via mentors who will offer the support necessary to meet "real-world" classroom challenges. As of January 1, 2011, all beginning teachers in the State of Ohio will begin their professional educational career in a four-year residency program. This program will provide differentiated support based on formative assessment of each individual teacher's growth and development. A variety of tools will be utilized by the resident educator, mentor and administrator to help formulate goals and measure successes in the resident educator's work toward improving their craft to optimize student achievement and progress.
Brown County ESC offers a consortium to member districts in order to provide guidance and professional development for both Resident Educators and Mentors as they collaboratively work through this four-year process.
Information about Ohio's Resident Educator Program can be found at the following link: http://www.ode.state.oh.us/GD/Templates/Pages/ODE/ODEDetail.aspx?page=3&TopicRelationID=515&ContentID=67249
Contact Jackie Miller for more information.
The Brown County Educational Service Center, according to law, does provide the following service to the districts:
The Ohio Revised Code, by October 15 of each year, requires the salary schedule for each school district must be filed with the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The board of education of each local school district must also file its salary schedule with the superintendent of the educational service center, who must then certify to the treasurer of the local district the correct salary to be paid each teacher in accordance with the adopted schedule.
Also, each teacher who has completed training which would qualify him for a higher salary bracket is required to file by September 15 with the treasurer of the board of education satisfactory evidence of the completion of such additional training. The Brown County Educational Service Center, in cooperation with the local treasurers, does provide the service of certifying the correct salary and steps on the salary schedule.
The Brown County Educational Service Center maintains and provides a list of documented certified substitute teachers for use by the local school districts of Brown County. The list is published and updated monthly by e-mail to the local school administrators. Substitute personnel are called by the designated person from each school. The substitute is paid separately by each district hiring them for their services.
For information on becoming a substitute teacher or teacher aide, contact Elise Starkey at (937)378-6118 or click here.
A criminal records check must be completed for every job applicant who has come under final consideration for employment in a public or chartered nonpublic school. The Brown County Educational Service Center provides background records check by using the Web-Check system. An appointment is necessary to obtain a background records check and can be made by calling (937)378-6118 and asking for Elise Starkey. The fee for the BCI & I check is $30.00 and the fee for the FBI check is $30.00.
Background checks are required for teachers renewing or obtaining new licenses and are good for one year. The results of these checks should be sent electronically to Teacher Certification. School bus drivers and van drivers must complete both BCI & I and FBI background checks when they renew their six-year certificates. The results of these background checks should be sent to the employer, not to Teacher Certification. ODE has posted a Background Checks Frequently Asked Questions page on their Web site (www.ode.state.oh.us) search keywords: backgrounds checks FAQ to answer questions surrounding this requirement. Non-licensed school employees should contact the Brown County ESC with any questions they might have.
