text: The Headline: Racer Tony Stewart offers Indiana land for deer research, hunting trips for ill youth The Summary: The Associated Press reports that NASCAR driving legend Tony Stewart is offering 414 acres of his Hidden Hollow ranch to be used for wildlife study and for chronically ill children involved in the Catch-A-Dream Foundation to go hunting. Jeff's Take: This is a fine example of a hunter—in this case a celebrity—making a difference. I'm sure that Mr. Stewart, an avid bowhunter, lauds what little free time he has, yet he essentially donates his land to the two things that all hunters should be doing: Promoting biology-based wildlife conservation and taking kids hunting. A few people might know that I'm not the biggest NASCAR fan in the world, but now I am a huge fan of Tony Stewart. Catch-A-Dream Catches on: "… the Foundation has granted wishes to 339 children ages 6-18 in 45 states since 2001."

Civic education has a fundamental problem.
It is not like other forms of education that teach specific content and skills that have an obvious value in the marketplace. Instead, it teaches content and skills that are necessary for our society to continue to function in ways that we take for granted. In other words, we can only really know the value of civic education when it is not being done right.
This problem is certainly not news to civic educators, who have increasingly seen resources steered to literacy and STEM education at the expense of civic education. For my part, the potential consequences of this problem seem much more urgent to me following the recent riots carried out in London by a class of disaffected and disengaged young people.
One British commentator trying to explain the riots observed that this class of young people has "no skills, education, values or aspirations…. Nobody has ever dared suggest to them that they need feel any allegiance to anything, least of all Britain or their community…. Not only do they know nothing of Britain's past, they care nothing for its present." Perhaps this explanation oversimplifies, but the overwhelming sense I got from reading accounts of the rioting was simply that these young people saw no reason NOT to run roughshod over the lives, liberties, and property of their fellow citizens. Another way to say this is that these young people failed to uphold their part of the social contract that allows us to live in a free society. They failed liberty. At the same time, we can only conclude that those responsible for teaching them to live in a free society failed liberty as well.
Failing Liberty 101 is the title of a new book by William Damon, Professor of Education at Stanford University and director of its Center on Adolescence. Prof. Damon has spent decades researching the psychological development of young people, and he concludes that young people cannot develop into flourishing adults without the right kind of education – especially without the right kind of civic education.
Damon observes that America today is characterized by "a decline in civic purpose and patriotism, a crisis of faith, a rise in cynicism, self-absorption, ignorance, and indifference to the common good…." These factors are particularly hard to process for young people – "who are in a formative time of life typically characterized by idealism, hopefulness, and elevated ambition." Young people are looking for purpose in life. Yet if they find "nothing positive to believe in, they drift in unconstructive and sometimes destructive directions." Given this, Damon finds three dimensions of civic education that he believes are vitally important components of a civic education that will help young people flourish: education for virtue or character, a proper grounding in the American tradition, and an appreciation for America's promise.
Damon acknowledges the challenges faced by educators trying to teach virtue – particularly in public schools. Yet whether schools are ready or not, Damon argues that the breakdown of the family and other institutions where young people have learned virtue and character gives the public school an increasingly important role as teachers of character or virtues. Further, Damon argues "the question is not whether a school chooses to provide its students with a moral education. All schools do so, whether they know it or not. But will a school do that well…?" Damon is particularly concerned that schools undermine the teaching of virtue or character. He points in particular to the potentially destructive effect of teaching that denigrates patriotism. For Damon, patriotism rightly understood is a vital civic virtue, not to be confused with "the kinds of chauvinistic and militaristic passions that were fomented by totalitarian ideologies…." Indeed, Damon sees patriotism – in the sense of a "positive emotional attachment to a community" as being "a necessary condition for sustained engagement in it." He appreciates the importance of constructive criticism of our civic institutions, but argues "this capacity must build upon a prior, sympathetic understanding of that which is being criticized."
For this reason, it is critically important for Damon that young people are given a sympathetic introduction to the American political tradition. A young person's disposition toward their political heritage is an important factor in how that young person begins to identify him or herself; young people, Damon writes, "need to care about their society if they are to dedicate their concerted efforts toward citizenship." Damon is therefore highly critical of the bitterly pessimistic formulation of the American tradition advanced by Howard Zinn. In addition to criticizing Zinn for imposing on readers an "epic feat of negativism," he recalls his own conversations with Zinn about the effects of that negativism on young people. Zinn reported a letter from a high school student who said, "I read your book…. [Now] how can I keep from being thoroughly alienated and depressed?" We should ask, with Damon, whether a student who is alienated from and depressed about his heritage as a result of an unduly critical teaching about it will ever be able to appreciate that which is good about his tradition, or make a positive contribution to that which should be improved. At best, that student will withdraw, at worst, that student will seek to destroy that tradition – the good with the bad.
Without this appreciation of what is good in our past, Damon concludes, students cannot have hope for the future. Damon reminds us that the notions of American exceptionalism and the American Dream are related – and that, rightly understood, they refer to far more than just material success. America is special in that it "offers every U.S. citizen a chance to strive toward the aspirations they hold most dear, whether material, personal, social, or spiritual." American young people can and should aspire to be far more than merely part of an envious, self-absorbed, rioting rabble like those young people who destroyed their own communities in the towns surrounding London – and their teachers should encourage them to do so.
Yet as Damon found in interviews with high school students, some students do not get this encouragement. One high school girl said, "Last year, the history teacher told us that the American Dream was dead…. I just – I didn't believe that at all. If we didn't dream, then we wouldn't be doing anything. We wouldn't be advancing as a society." Another girl was more pessimistic, saying "I guess I'm not a true US citizen, or what America wants me to be, because America doesn't even abide by their own rules or their own expectations, so I don't know what a US citizen is…. I don't know what [the American Dream] would mean to me. I heard [the phrase] so many times. And it's crazy, and I don't know what it is."
Regardless of the differences of perspective or of experience that separate these two girls, it is clear that both of them want to live in a country they can believe in. If there is something in our country that is worth believing in – and it is my deepest conviction that there is – it is our responsibility as civic educators to communicate that worth with all of the confidence and skill we have to offer. The Bill of Rights Institute is here to support you in that indispensable effort.
What barriers do you face in your effort to educate young people to believe in the America we both love?

I think that it is of the upmost importance for the youth of today to develop a sense of community and civic responsibility. However, citing Zinn as a historian that fosters pessimism in young people is unfair. Zinn presented history from perspective of the common man, and was not afraid to highlight the mistakes and motivations of people in power. An effective teacher can explain history objectively and use major events such as slavery, Native American removal, and Vietnam as a tool for change and awareness. A citizen with an understanding of history and government can be productive member of society, a voter, a person of civic responsibility. Teaching history in an only positive light, doesn't make students productive citizens, it makes them ignorant and ethnocentric.
Dustin, I don't disagree with anything you said. But your objection works better against Zinn than it does against his critics. Zinn teaches U.S. history only in a negative light. It is a thoroughly depressing account of our history – and one that utterly fails to explain why millions of "common men" have left tyrannical regimes to seek freedom and opportunity here.

Supplier diversity means ensuring that businesses owned by women and minority groups are included in a company's supplier selection process.
In the U.S., the government and many of our business customers require that we source from diverse suppliers. Beyond compliance, we recognize that supplier diversity promotes innovation and creativity and allows us to meet the needs of customers and consumers around the world.
Our supplier diversity team identifies diversity-owned businesses that can potentially bid on procurement opportunities. We have set goals to increase the proportion of our procurement spend with diversity businesses.
For inquiries regarding our supplier diversity program, e-mail us at email@example.com.
Performance and Goals
Since January 2004, Motorola, Inc. has spent more than $3.0 billion with diversity suppliers.
In 2012, Motorola Solutions spent 16.2 percent of U.S. federal procurement spend with global diversity suppliers. Diversity businesses supplied us with a variety of products and services such as accessories, cables, engineering, logistics, packaging and travel.
Motorola Solutions exceeded its goal for 16 percent of U.S. procurement spend to be with global diversity suppliers for 2011.

How We Find Diverse Suppliers
We review the databases of the following organizations to identify small and diverse suppliers:
In the U.S., diversity suppliers are defined as businesses that are at least 51 percent owned, operated and controlled by one or more persons who are:
In other countries, definitions vary. In general, to be considered a racial or ethnic minority, persons must be citizens of the country where their business is headquartered and be of an officially recognized socially or economically disadvantaged ethnic minority group.
Additionally, businesses certified as Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) by the U.S. Small Business Administration are considered diversity suppliers.
In the United States
We promote diversity in tier-one suppliers (those from which we buy directly) and tier-two (those that supply tier-one).
We participate in the Technology Industry Group (TIG) with other supplier diversity professionals from U.S.-based telecommunications companies. Through the TIG, we advocate the expansion of supplier diversity initiatives among our customers, our peer companies and our suppliers.
We work with diversity suppliers to make sure they are aware of opportunities to supply Motorola Solutions. We are a member of the National Minority Supplier Development Council, WEConnect International and the Women's Business Enterprise National Council and our supplier diversity manager serves on advisory committees at these organizations.
Outside the United States
We began to expand our supplier diversity programs outside the U.S. in 2003. Our supply base includes diversity suppliers in China, India, Malaysia, Singapore and South Africa.
Before we can establish a supplier diversity program in countries without defined diversity programs, we need to identify the minority groups in that country. This can be a challenge. For example, laws or culture may prohibit asking questions about the ethnicity or gender of the business owner. Some countries have no agreement on how to define a minority group, and other countries have large numbers of different minority groups. For example, China has 55 ethnic minorities.
We work with local diversity organizations to identify minority categories and to contact diversity suppliers. In 2008, we became a founding member and provided seed funding to the Minority Supplier Development (MSD) China, which aims to certify ethnic minority-owned businesses in China.
We are a member of the National Minority Supplier Development Council's international advisory committee. The committee is helping to develop organizations in Australia, Canada, China, South Africa and the U.K. that will certify ethnic minority-owned businesses in those countries.

Whenever I think of Hillary Clinton, I always think of what proper Victorian ladies were supposed to do whenever their husbands wanted to procreate: "Close your eyes and think of England."
Not that I'm accusing Hillary of being frigid, mind you. For all I know, she's got a Manhattan weekend retreat done up in chrome and black leather with a shower big enough for the Yankees' entire bullpen. But the less said about that the better.
It's just that whenever Hillary had to do or say or just put up with anything unpleasant, I figured she was the stoic type. How else could somebody stay married to Bill for 30-plus years? How else could she endure a "listening tour" in nearly-Red State upstate New York? How else could she call Robert Byrd or Trent Lott "my esteemed colleague"?
That's what I thought right up until now:
Sen. Hillary Clinton yesterday backed a rebel band of Senate Dems seeking to filibuster a vote on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Samuel Alito.
Democratic leaders had warned that filibuster efforts were going nowhere and would let President Bush score easy political points, but Clinton said, "I oppose his nomination and support efforts to block his confirmation."
The Sam Alito vote is clearly a case where, to use an awful phrase, Hillary should just relax and enjoy the inevitable. The Democrats don't have the votes to keep Alito off the court

As Ayn Rand would say, check your premises.
Any assumptions about HRC are either premature or naive.
At the same time, I think that this entire filbuster effort on the part of Kerry is part of an effort smoke-out Hillary and force her to admit she's not the "moderate Democrat" she's been pretending to be.

I think that Hilary has realized that no conservative, even a moderate one, will ever vote for her. Likewise with the Republicans…she has too much baggage from her "Fist-Lady" years…especially her attempt at nationalised healthcare…for us to listen to her anymore.
Thus, she's given up trying to court the right, and has gone back to courting the base she thought was safe.
I still think she could be a formidable candidate in a general election. There are lots of independants that might vote for her based on: (1) what personality she manages to show, and (2) the fact that her name isn't Bush, and people are tired of Republicans at the moment, but she needs to win the nomination first.

It seems pretty simple to me. The only people on either side who are getting excited about Alito are at the extremes. The only way the middle would become involved is if a filibuster were attempted, and had some chance of succeeding. As long it doesn't have a chance in hell, then it's safe for her to join the doomed Cause and impress her base with her commitment. There's no political cost to her for opposing Alito and talking filibuster, so long as no filibuster takes place.
January 30, 2006 - 8:12 am Link to this Comment -
I would be willing to bet that over 70% of the adult population doesn't know what a filibuster is. Of those that do know, probably less than 30% care about it in this case.
Hillary gains with the extreme left by this gesture and loses nothing to the majority of the voters who don't know/don't care about this game. If there were any doubt about the outcome (as mentioned above), yeah, it might mean something. In two weeks no one will remember anything about this stuff.

Truth is, unless the filibuster is successful, nobody but the hardcore Republican partisans will remember Hillary's vote to filibuster. So it will have no net impact on the 2008 election.
Where Hillary's vote WILL have an impact is when she appoints her first Supreme Court justice, assuming she wins in '08. Having personally endorsed the filibuster option, she is giving the Republican party de facto veto power over any future Supreme Court nominees she wants to appoint. Slick.

Hillary will vote to filibuster, Kerry will vote to filibuster, and Biden will vote to filibuster.
They all are running for the 2008 nomination, and they all know they need to please the leftists to get it.
Hillary has a conviction: she wants to be President, and she thinks this will help her get the nomination. She's probably right.

Opinion I consider almost fact: Hillary Clinton does not have a snow balls chance in Florida of winning anything that includes voters south of New York.
Aside from politics her speaches sound worse than nails down a chalk board. She speaks in monotone, shes often angry and not very likeable in general.
At the end of the day, 50+ million Americans are going to have to want Hilliary Rodham Clinton as their President, America's first female President who would also be the commander and cheif of our armed forces in a time of war.
Am I crazy to say thats not a likely outcome or even close?

Except that she'll probably appoint moderates anyway, so it wont matter.
I agree that this is a sop to the left, that really doesnt matter to the center (nor should it)
I note that Hillary has been outspoken, and quickly so, on Hamas, on Iran, and on other key WOT issues.
Moving to the center doesnt mean splitting the difference on every issue. It means identifying the key issues on which to break from the left, and the ones on which it makes sense to ally with them. I think shes doing a decent job of it. Still not sure shes the best candidate on grounds of baggage and style. But then Warner, Biden, Bayh remain options.

She always wears stunning jewelry tucked neatly into tailored blouses. That look is a brilliant combination of professional style, with a unique twist.We've added a little more to this - the length is just right for the "Bones" look, but with the extender chain, it is more versatile - wear it with a turtle neck sweater, or over a business dress; add it to a T or shell for a more casual look. Where ever you go, you will know you are wearing an original, one of a kind, unique, and beautiful accessory.FREE GIFT WRAP. Each piece of jewelry is wrapped in tissue paper and enclosed in an organza bag.If you are interested in other pieces of jewelry we designed that were inspired by "Bones," here are a few you can peruse:https://www.etsy.com/listing/110947298/coral-obsidian-and-copper-wrappedhttps://www.etsy.com/listing/107722946/tibetan-lapis-pendant-with-turquoisehttps://www.etsy.com/listing/105279178/antique-copper-malachite-floral-trianglehttps://www.etsy.com/listing/110011920/rhodonite-sterling-silver-wrappedhttps://www.etsy.com/listing/112461957/cloisonne-red-carnelian-black-obsidian

A STARTLING EXPLORATION of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, the religious scholar Elaine Pagels tackles The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world…or is it? Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds—Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed.

Passion for Chocolate
We are learning afresh what the Aztecs always knew – chocolate is good for you!
For most of us, though, chocolate is just sheer pleasure to consume - in a hundred different forms. And how well descriptions of chocolate match the words we choose for our most passionate relationship! Both can be smooth, sweet, rich, elegant, melting, creamy, soft, comforting, warm, intoxicating – and sometimes even bitter, crunchy, nutty or dark!
At The Pavilions, our Passion for Chocolate celebrates its role as the food of love – and goes much further. Let our expert chocolatiers lead you into the rich taste of elegance or sit back and relax while we engulf you in a chocolate body wrap; the passionate world of chocolate await
Passion for Perfume
Christian Dior once said:
"Long after one has forgotten what a woman wore, the memory of her perfume lingers".
Smell is an extraordinarily powerful trigger of memories – we have all experienced that rush of reminiscence when we catch an unexpected hint of a former lover's fragrance.
Choosing the right scent is truly an art. A scent that is perfect for you may not work for another. Everyone's skin is unique – and has different characteristics when you're relaxed, active or cooling down after an energetic work-out.
So indulge your Passion for Perfume - let our master parfumiers work with you to blend the precious elements of fragrance into a perfume that is uniquely your own. A scent that will work its intimate magic on your lover, today and forever…

Passion for Music
Without music, how empty our world would be! From the earliest times, people have created and used music to capture and express the deepest human feelings – from sacred psalms of invocation to the romantic melodies of love to the stirring martial drums and pipes of war.
Music today is sometimes just throwaway songs from the iTunes store, buzzing in your headphones on your daily commute. If you share our Passion for Music, let The Pavilions lead you and your loved one on a musical journey of exploration. Learn how sounds and rhythms combine, how instruments harmonise, how notes on a stave become an expression of love and a melody for your souls.

Our program is just as appealing for those whose musical passion is more for appreciation than participation. Close your eyes and imagine you and your partner enjoying after dinner drinks on our pool terrace, soaking in the richness of a deep acapella singer's voice harmonizing with the sounds of nature, as the sun sets over the ageless jungle.
At The Pavilions, Music truly is the Food of Love…
Passion for Dance
From Salome's Dance of the Seven Veils to breakdancers on a mean street corner, dance has always moved our spirit and given structure to our passion.
To dance with the one you love is to express the feelings in your heart in the movement of your body.
Our dance instructors will teach you how to master the subtle contradiction of moving freely within a set of rules, exploiting the steps of each dance form to release the depth of your emotions in your own special partnership.
Participate or appreciate – either way, indulge your Passion for Dance at The Pavilions and let the dancer become the dance!

If photography is your inspiration, our experts will show you how to capture romance; let our body painters show you and your partner how to create a unique masterpiece on your own body.

This doesn't come as a surprise to me, Fidel Castro one of the third worlds most Stinking Smelly Dictators is ENDORSING the Prince Barack Hussein Obama. http://www.reuters.com/article/poli...Type=RSS&feedName=politicsNews&rpc=22&sp=true
Because Obama would be better for Cuba. He'd actually talk to Castro and possibly end the embargo. You know, as in make the world a better place instead of invading other countries for oil.
Never understood this embargo stuff, does anyone think that Saddam, Castro or Quadaffi ever went without??, the only people that go without are the women amd children.. the only reason the embargo exists is to pander to the spanish vote in Florida.. this is a freaking joke.. remember don't talk to anyone send warships off the coast.. scare the crap out of them.
In a way the embargo is a good thing...Cuba is still relatively unspoiled. Can you imagine if there was no embargo? The country would be one giant Sandals/Trump resort. And why do you say "Oh...the suffering of the women and children...oh the pain..."? Because every other country trades with Cuba. The condition of the country can be traced directly to the Castro family. That said, I've never supported the embargo either. We trade with China, traded with the Soviet Union...it's a stupid embargo.
Castro tortures, Castro kills, Castro Confines AIDS carriers to sanatoriums and Cuba is a f-cking Dump. American Liberals who go ballistic and start throwing blood all over city hall when an American Cop slaps a Murderers face or when America wiretaps a Muslim why do these American Liberals ADORE and Worship this creepy stinking savage DICTATOR----- I always thought American Liberals were against Cruelty and Loss Of Freedom. Can you just picture GW Bush trying to put all of America's AIDS Carriers in a Sanatorium- Jesus Watch Over Us, Save Us
Because Castro does not suffer or want from anything, the women and chidren are effected... if our embargo is usurped by other nations, why continue the embargo.. to pander to the spanish vote in Fla..
Okay, so work with me a minute: if Castro doesn't suffer or want for anything, but the people are suffering/struggling, and every other country trades with Cuba, wouldn't that indicate that the problem is related to Castro and his government, and not the US embargo? And didn't I say I thought the embargo was stupid (except for having the by-product of keeping Cuba from becoming one big Trump hotel, casino and parking lot? And yes, it's partly (maybe mostly, I don't know) to pander to the Cubans in FL. And because it's some kind of habit, I guess. I don't know anyone personally who thinks it's a good idea. Do you?
Oil? We got Oil ? I heard it costs 38 cents a gallon for gas in Iraq and I paid 3.83 a gallon yesterday.
Maybe you should talk to the oil execs raking in record profits. Or perhaps the nice folks at PNAC who designed the Iraq invasion for critical leverage. Or you could just keep dumbing it down to the "price at the pump" argument like the Bush administration wants you to.
The state of CA "makes" 5 times as much per gallon as the oil companies do. As you have been told over and over, oil companies make very little per gallon, no more than before, the record profits come from record consumption. I pay about 8 cents per gallon in profit to the oil companies but 40 cents or so to CA + more to the feds.
It's no surprise that Castro would prefer Obama to McCain. In fact, I would think most of the civilized world would prefer Obama to McCain. In fact, anyone who opposes war, even if their motives are selfish, would probably prefer Obama to McCain. Who is more likely to attack Cuba? Obama or McCain?
So McC is going to attack Cuba? I know his idol is Teddy Roosevelt, but isn't that taking it a bit far?
This is a little old : http://www.jb-williams.com/4-25-06.htm but it's the best I could find. Although prices have gone up considerably since then, obviously the cost of the raw product has too. Anyway : "Based upon a $3.00 gallon of gasoline, the average break-down is as follows. Gasoline Retailer $.01 cents per gallon Oil Company $.08 cents per gallon Refining $.29 cents per gallon Marketing/Distribution $.32 cents per gallon Taxes $.59 cents per gallon Cost of crude $1.71 per gallon (delivered)" This matches what I said which is what I've heard in numerous places on TV news, etc. Heck, in CA, there is a Gas Tax Tax, yes, we are taxed 8% of the Federal tax on gas.
Seen something quite different last week there was an article that I read discussing the profit margins of oil companies, that article indicated the profit margin was between 7% and 11%.. however cannot find that source.. here is one link that says Oil Companies are now about 7.6% which equates in California to about $.38 per gallon.. so your numbers are somewhat off.. http://www.usnews.com/articles/busi...xons-profits-measuring-a-record-windfall.html
I didn't say that, I merely asked who is more likely. If you're Castro, chances are you worry more about McCain than Obama, don't you think?
Of course Obama would be better for Cuba and he'd be better for everybody else all over this world that "Hates Us". :bricks:

TITLE: Solar Energy Experiment AUTHOR: Beatrice Ortiz, Ann Parish Elem., NM GRADE LEVEL/SUBJECT: 3-8, science PURPOSE: The purpose of the following experiment is to demonstrate that energy from the sun can be collected and stored in many ways. RESOURCES/MATERIALS: one plastic bottle painted white, one plastic bottle painted black, several small balloons ACTIVITIES AND PROCEDURES: General information - Our sun is an average sized star and it has been burning for about 4.5 billion years. Few people think of the sun as a nuclear furnace and fewer realize this is a source of nuclear energy that does not pollute. About four million tons of the sun's matter turns into energy every second and only one-billionth of the sun's light ever strikes the Earth. At the equator the Earth receives about one kilowatt per square meter of solar energy. A kilowatt is 1000 watts of or the amount of energy needed to light 10 one-hundred watt bulbs. If man could make full use of solar energy, almost every house in the world could be energy independent. Only a few households would have to be dependent on the electric company and this would reduce the pollution problem greatly. The consumption of gas, oil, or coal would be reduced and this would also help reduce the level of pollution. The automobile could be powered by the sunlight during the day and use battery power at night. This would also reduce pollution and help prevent global warming. Turning solar energy directly into electricity today is not very efficient; however, solar energy can be best collected as heat. The following experiment will teach young people how to collect and store the sun's energy in the form fo heat. The teacher will notice the experiment demonstrates a method to collect and store solar energy and has been designed for grade one through six. It is possible for young students to expand the concepts of these experiments into local science fair projects. The Black and White Bottle Experiment The experiment is performed with the two plastic bottles. The teacher will note one bottle is painted black and the other is painted white. Place the open end of one small balloon on the mouth of the white bottle and do the same for the black bottle. Make sure the balloon forms an air tight seal. Now place both bottles in bright sunlight. Within a few minutes, the students will notice the balloon on t he black bottle will start to expand. The balloon of the white bottle will remain limp. Have a student touch the black bottle to notice that it is warm. Then have the same student touch the white bottle to notice that it is much cooler than the black bottle. Questions - 1. Why do you think the balloon on the black bottle expanded? 2. Does heat make air expand? 3. Does a black object get warmer in the sunlight than a white object? 4. What would be a good color to paint your car if you wanted to stay cool in the summer? Explanation - The black bottle will absorb the sun's energy much better. The white bottle reflects away most of the sun's energy. As the bottle absorbs energy, the air inside the bottle warms up and expands making the balloon full with air.

Struk, 52, also runs the Land of Israel lobby in the Knesset that fought for settlement expansion and legalizing settlement outposts.
Days before the election, in the wake of the release of a video of Jeremy Gimpel, another Jewish Home candidate, speaking enthusiastically about the Dome of the Rock exploding, Struk said, "We pray that the Temple will rise again in Jerusalem."
Struk at times was described as a liability in Bennett's campaign to present Jewish Home as an inclusive right-wing party, not a settlers' party. But in an interview shortly before the election with Israel's Channel 2, Bennett denied she was a liability.
"I'm not hiding Orit Struk," he said. "In every party, people vote with their conscience and it's OK that among 15 people, we'll have a representative of the right."
Shimon Solomon (Yesh Atid)
Shimon Solomon, 44, has come a long way to the Knesset. When he was 12, Solomon set out on foot with his family from Ethiopia, traveling via Sudan to Israel.
Later, after becoming a social worker, he returned to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital, from 2005 to 2007 to help others follow in his footsteps. He also works with Physicians for Human Rights as an advocate for refugees and is a former director of the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village in Rwanda, a center for orphans of the Rwandan genocide.
The future of refugees and migrants in Israel has been a topic of heated debate over the last year or two.
"He reminds me of my father," said Lapid, the Yesh Atid chairman and son of late Israeli politician Tommy Lapid, as he introduced Solomon as a candidate in November. "My father was an immigrant. He came here in a ship from another country without knowing a word of Hebrew. And like Shimon, when he set foot in Israel, it became his."
Solomon responded by promoting an ethic of service. "Everyone needs to give of what he has, even if he doesn't have much," he said.

What's New at Nationals Park for 2010
With the Nats just a few days away from starting play at their stadium, it was time for the annual
Nationals Park
media tour for the ink-stained newspaper wretches (plus their cohorts, the blow-dried TV folks and the Cheetos-munching bloggers), to highlight what's new at the ballpark and what fans should know in trying to arrive for the first two games of 2010.
Knowing that there will be a number of news stories tonight listing all the changes, I concentrated more on taking photos,
which you can see in this gallery
. The splashiest change is the complete renovation of the PNC Diamond Club, which has exchanged its former sports bar/take me out to the ballgame motif for a much sleeker feel. (The new bar is pictured above.) They've also tweaked the Red Porch and Red Loft, adding two more rows of tables and chairs on the field side of the Porch while removing the seating on the balcony of the Loft and adding in drink rails.
The Scoreboard Walk now has lounge furniture (so you can pretend you're in South Beach rather than Near Southeast), and the "Party Nights" with music, $5 pre-game beers, games, and other entertainment will now be at all Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night games, with the gates opening 2 1/2 hours before first pitch. (It'll all be running on Opening Day, too.)
There's also all sorts of new food offerings, starting with the new "Triple Play Grill" next to Hard Times Cafe in the Center Field Plaza, offering shrimp po boy and crab cake sandwiches, and a "Florida Foot Long SeaDog," which is actually a cod sandwich. They've also reworked the "Taste of the Majors" offerings, creating five foot-long hot dogs for the National League East teams. A new outlet called Change Up Chicken, in Section 130, will have a chicken and waffle sandwich, along with other chicken specialties and waffle fries. The Dupont Deli in Section 227 will have a triple-decker grilled cheese sandwich on Texas Toast, along with grilled Italian, and turkey sandwiches. There's also going to be three Flippin' Pizza outlets (sections 115, 214, and 311), and a Healthy Plate Cart in Section 110. And, if I may say so, if you're lucky enough to happen upon the red velvet cupcakes (at the Red Porch), don't pass them up.
As for Opening Day, the team is of course very excited that President Obama will be throwing out the first pitch, but they are reminding fans that a presidential visit plus a sellout crowd will make for long lines to get in, which is why the gates will be opened at 10 am for a 1:05 pm start. (But if you're one of the first 20,000 fans who try to beat the rush, you'll get a replica batting practice hat.) And there was talk of the new parking options for 2010 (no more Nats Express and the new economy lots).
Read my earlier entry today
for more on that. But, if you're a season ticket holder, at least you'll have your own red-carpet line to stand in at the Center Field Gate--for all games
Opening Day.
Having *still* never really gotten warm again after the damp cold Opening Day of 2008, I have my fingers crossed that the weather on Saturday and Monday will be about what it was like today (warmer, actually). It almost felt like spring out there!
Check back for links to additional media coverage.
Here's stories from
. (Though points deducted from WJLA for saying that one of the economy parking lots is at 6th and M *SW*. Sigh.)
, a slew of Tweets from
MASN's Kristen Hudak
, and

Circulator Running for Exhibition; More Ballpark Items
* The folks at the BID have passed along the news that the Circulator will be running its Union Station/Navy Yard route on Saturday (April 3) for the 4:05 pm Nats/Red Sox exhibition, even though it wasn't originally listed on their
2010 Baseball Extended Service schedule
(it is now).
* Metro has just released its information on getting to and from the ballpark: "
Expect standing room only to/from Nationals games
WTOP writes about the two new economy lots
for stadium parking; you might want to check
my Stadium Parking map
for a graphic that's a little clearer, and that also shows non-official cash lots. One item in the piece that I'm checking on, though--it says that piers at the
Yards Park
and will allow private boats to be docked there starting in July. But everything I've seen up to now has said that the piers and marina are to be built
in the park's third phase
, which isn't expected to come online until after 2012. Am waiting for a response from Forest City for clarity.
Forest City confirms that the piers are
coming this summer, contrary to what the article reports; they are planned for later phases.
* WAMU had two short pieces on Near Southeast on Monday: "
Ballpark Hits Old Reputation Out of Field
," and "Population Near Nationals Park Doubles in One Year," which now seems to have disappeared from their web site.
* Be prepared for another slew of stadium-related news stories later today, with the annual ballpark media day on the agenda. And the weather's nice for once!

Why so much bus reporting and bias?
Question: I've read several of the online stories concerning the STA and I've sent feedback that has met all of the criteria required by The Spokesman-Review. My feedback contains no obscenities, nor libelous statements, etc. However, since the person writing these articles is very pro STA, my feedback is virtually never published. I have been convinced for years that the S-R is a biased paper with the full interntion of shaping and swaying the way people think, and behaviors like I just described only solidify my position.
There are numerous topics where the S-R is clearly biased on a position. Support/lack of support for the mayor, the parking garage, the president (what party he's in does make a difference), schools, are just a few topics to which the S-R expresses their preferences. Sometimes it's blatant, sometimes it's subtle. This is harly decent reporting; why not just report the facts, all of them, and no holding back, and let the readers decide for themselves? I would like to know who reviews online reader feedback and makes the decision to post or to not post the feedback.
Also, we've heard all about the STA for months now and the same topics concerning the STA are being repeated in the paper. It's time to move on to more important news and such. But since the S-R, and in particular, one reporter are pro bus, I suppose we can look forward seeing the same subjects repeated over and over in a desparate attempt to sway the voters into buying into it. We voted NO on it and that should be enough. Please drop the subject and find some new news. -- Bill Anderson
Answer (part 1): I checked our list of replies submitted to stories online, and quickly found this comment and this comment from you about the most recent STA stories. I can't trace what may have happened in the more distant past. However, Larry Reisnouer, who checks over the story replies daily to make sure they fit simple criteria, says he doesn't recognize your e-mail address or remember deleting any comments about STA. In fact, Larry doesn't edit for content. He just tries to make sure replies are not libelous or obscene or over the 250-word limit. Reporters have no connection to the comments that are posted about their stories online. -- Ken Sands, managing editor of online and new media
Answer (part 2): I'm sorry the writer feels we've reported too much on the STA budget/service issue. However, in our view, this issue is one of the most important facing our community and extensive coverage is demanded. Readers can expect far more in the next few months. I suggest the writer skip those stories if he finds them unimportant. Are we pro-bus? Well, I'm not sure what it means to be pro-bus. But we do believe that citizens are best served when they have the information they need to make informed decisions. If citizens understand the ramifications of STA service cuts and decide they can live with them, so be it.
As to overall news bias, the writer repeats the same old cliche. But in my experience the perception of bias begins with the observer's own prejudices. The pro-administration factions in our area are convinced we're Bush bashers and anti-war activists. The anti-Bush factions are convinced we're Republican mouthpieces. We take heat from both sides. Now, I don't believe that constant, simultaneous criticism from right and left is proof per se of our objectivity. But I do think it illustrates how difficult it is to please everyone all the time. The Spokesman-Review news staff works as hard as any in my experience to cover the news objectively. Our staff is as culturally and politically diverse as the community it serves. Our internal debates mirror those in society. That's the best check on biased reporting.
As to printing just the facts...it is pretty silly to think that there is something like a list of "just the facts" for any story. Too often, one person's facts are the next person's lies. People who see the world in such black and white terms are, at least, awfully naive. -- Steve Smith, editor

[Windows 8] How to open Windows Store apps from the desktop or taskbar
Posted By Tu Nguyen On November 17, 2012 @ 9:00 PM In Windows | No Comments
In Windows 8, you can only open a Windows Store app from Start screen. As I work mostly in Windows 8's traditional desktop environment, I really needed a way to open Windows Store apps from the desktop instead of having to go to Start screen to launch them. I found a way and in this article I'm going to teach it to you how to create a shortcut on desktop to quickly open Windows Store apps.
Before we proceed further, there is one fact you must realize. Unfortunately, at this time, Windows 8 does not allow users to launch specific Windows Store apps from the destkop. In other words, you won't be able to run Youtube Player [1] directly from your desktop. There is, however, a way to be able to quickly and easily open a list of all installed Windows Store apps directly from your desktop. Once you open the list, you can easily launch any specific Windows Store app from there that you desire. And this list helps keep you from having to slide through the Start screen to find the apps you want to launch.
I will show you two different methods of creating that list on your desktop, and at the end I'll show you how to pin that list to your taskbar. These methods work on Window 8 tablets and PCs.
[2]All the apps you install on your Windows 8 tablet or PC, whether they are from the Windows Store or apps you download from elsewhere, are accessible via an "Applications" folder. From this Applications folder you can launch any app or program that you have installed on your tablet or PC. This first method shows you how to create a shortcut to this Applications folder on your desktop. Once you create the shortcut, you can easily open the Applications folder — and thus launch your apps — whenever you want from your desktop
To create a shortcut to Applications on your desktop, do the following:
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}
Done! Now you have a shortcut on your desktop to the Applications folder from where you can launch any and all apps you have installed
[5]You know that Apps Search feature Windows 8 has, the one you would get if you press the Windows + Q hotkeys? Yeah, well, you can create a shortcut on your desktop to open that screen directly from your desktop. Once you have that screen open, you can launch all your Windows Store apps from it.
Creating a shortcut to Apps Search on your desktop is actually very similar to what I described in method 1, exception you enter a different location. To create a shortcut to Apps Search on your desktop, do the following:
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{2559a1f8-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}
Done! You now have a shortcut on your desktop that allows you to open Apps Search quickly and easily, and launch your Windows Store apps from there.
Once you have created any of the two shortcuts shown above, the default icon is the Library icon. This is boring and uninformative. To change the icon to something more informative, do the following:
Done! Now the shortcut you created should have a nice icon to it.
Once you have created one of the two shortcuts mentioned above (and optionally changed the icon of the shortcut), it is very easy to launch Windows Store apps from the taskbar — simply pin the shortcut you created to the taskbar. Once pined, you can easily launch apps by clicking the shortcut and selecting the apps.
Beside using hotkeys [8], this tip provide you another way to quickly open Windows Store apps. Enjoy!

Electrical Apprenticeship Programs & Requirements
In order to become an electrical apprentice, an individual must have successfully completed year 10 or equivalent and have good mathematical skills.
Electrical apprenticeships take four years to complete and includes both on and off the job training.
Requirements to enter the industry:
- Certificate III or IV (relevant experience may also be required)
Available TAFE Courses
- Certificate II in Electrotechnology Career Start (Electrical)
- Certificate II in Electrotechnology Career Start (Electrical/Refrigeration)
Valuable Electrical Apprenticeship Skills
- Good eyesight
- Colour vision (for colour coded wires)
- Hand-eye coordination
- Mathematical and technical ability
- Precision and attention to detail
- Team work
- Diagnostic and problem solving abilities
- Practical aptitude for mechanics and electronics
Personalities Suited to Electrical Apprenticeship Jobs
Electricians often have extensive contact with the public and therefore it is important that they be sociable. As well, the job may require an individual to work in small, confined spaces and to stand for long periods of time. A fear of heights may deter some individuals as an electrician may be required to work at heights. A job site may be indoors or out and an individual must be able to lift equipment and supplies weighing up to 16 kilograms. As well, there are always risks with working with electricity on the job.
Electrical Apprenticeships for School Leavers
Generally, electrical apprenticeships require you to have completed Year 10 and have basic numeracy and literacy skills.
As well, completion of Year 11 Foundation Math and good English and numeracy skills are beneficial.
Electrical Apprenticeships for Adults
A support program for adult apprentices in the electrical apprenticeship field exists to financially assist individuals while they are completing their apprenticeship. The individual must be 25 years of age or older and be completing a level III or IV Certificate to receive this benefit.
Electrical Apprenticeship Wages
Starting wage
Below is an example of a weekly wage as an electrical apprentice. All amounts are approximate and may depend on your age, competency and previous training:
- 1st year- $280.00 per week
- 2nd year- $390.00 per week
- 3rd year- $530.00 per week
- 4th year- $630.00 per week
The salary for all automotive apprenticeships is determined according to the relevant industry award. You can find the award for the apprenticeship you're interested in by clicking here.
Future Earning Potential
Once qualified and following the completion of an electrical apprenticeship, the average an electrician earns around $950 per week. However, this wage depends on what sector of the trade you are working in. For example, those working with power lines earn around $1175 per week and those involved in the electrical and telecommunications sector can expect $1200 per week.
Business Opportunities
Many electricians choose to work for themselves. In doing so, their earning potential becomes significantly larger.
Electrical Apprenticeship Jobs
Currently there is a national shortage of electricians and growth in employment in this industry is expected to increase therefore career and electrical apprenticeship opportunities are readily available.
So what are you waiting for? If you think you have what it takes for an Electrical Apprenticeship view our listings by clicking here.

You'll find the taste of France and the American South blended in the Alabama kitchen of Frank Stitt, a true Southern gentleman. While studying philosophy at the University of California at Berkeley in the 1970s, Frank met Alice Waters, during the early days of Chez Panisse. It was a meeting that changed his career course. After living in Europe, he returned to his home state and opened the Highlands Bar and Grill, then Bottega, Bottega Café, and Chez Fonfon, all of which have been named to countless lists of the best restaurants of the South. In this classic French dish, he infuses a creamy, peppery sauce with the flavor of a Southern staple: Tennessee whiskey. Chef Stitt cooks the steak in a cast-iron skillet, but you can use any heavy skillet that can withstand high heat. New York strip steaks are best when the tail and the fat are left on until after you've finished cooking them. Remove the tail just before slicing.
- 1Bring the steaks to room temperature. Place the stock in a small saucepan and bring it to boil over high heat. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until reduced to 1/2 cup. Set aside.
- 2Heat a 16-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season on both sides with salt and coarsely ground pepper. Add the oil to the skillet and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. When the oil starts to smoke, add the steaks and decrease the heat slightly. Cook, turning once, for about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
- 3Meanwhile, wipe any excess oil out of the skillet and return to high heat. Add the whiskey, being careful it does not come in contact with an open flame. Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the sides and bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Add the stock and cracked pepper. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes, or until reduced by half. Stir in the cream and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until reduced by half. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- 4Cut the steak into thin slices across the grain, arrange on a warmed serving platter, and spoon the sauce over the top. Serve.
Beverage pairing: Matthews Claret, Washington. In the spirit of the American whiskey in this dish, we'll have an American wine. This claret is a blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but with a good dose of Cab Franc. Elegant and balanced, it has the luscious black fruit and spice that the beef and peppercorns crave.
