2015 Conference Keynote Speaker
Mr. Mark Burch Author, Educator and Facilitator - "The Monkey in the Room: How Mindfulness Can Contribute to Personal, Family and Community Well-Being".
Families now experience many pressures from many different directions. These stresses can undermine the quality of family life, the experience our children have in school, and the fabric of community relationships. We are reminded of the colourful Buddhist metaphor of the "monkey mind"—a state of continual distraction, hyperactivity and stress. This presentation will explore the sources of monkey mind in modern life and how we might fashion alternative ways of living that can bring us greater well-being.
2015 Conference Information Sessions
Cyber Safety and Mental Well Being - Self-Peer Exploitation, or 'sexting' is harmful, and its frequency and damaging repercussions are intensifying. The Canadian Centre for Child Protection's goal is to reduce child victimization. The presentation will examine issues such as intent, nature of the images, extent of distribution, and resources available for students, families and schools to help contain the spread of these images.
Smudging Protocol – This workshop will review the Smudging Protocol and Guidelines that was created to help educators, parents and community better understand this cleansing practice. The protocol includes the reasons for the practice, Indigenous beliefs about the smudge and how schools should deal with communication to their learning community.
Student Wellness - What is life all about? Can I make a difference? Do I matter? These are all questions that we have asked ourselves repeatedly in our life time but our children are searching and need guidance to find answers to these very questions. Student wellness is not based only on academic achievement but on student validation through active engagement in areas that matter to the students. Be prepared to discuss how a Parent Advisory Council can contribute to the dialogue of making a difference.
Coming Together in Difficult Times Parents - Caregivers have the greatest influence in the life of their child. When youth are experiencing life issues such as relationship conflicts, changes in friendships, or are dealing with other risky behaviours related to mental health and/or bullying, emotions and anxiety are naturally heightened. This session will provide parents of adolescents with some strategies, processes and resources in working with the school to meet social-emotional, mental health and/or safety needs of their child in difficult times.
SPARKing Engagement – This session describes a program to help students use exercise to help self-regulate and therefore become better able to be responsible for their own emotions and actions. Based on Dr. John Ratey's book entitled 'SPARK', the program looks to implement the ground-breaking exploration of the connection between exercise and the brain's performance that shows how even moderate exercise will supercharge mental circuits to sharpen thinking, enhance memory, beat stress, and much more."
*Please see AGM & Conference Registration form for further details.

Abstract: "Over the past few years, a methodology has been proposed by Flores, Winograd and their associates, for designing computer- based support systems and the reorganization that they can bring to cooperative work. This paper describes a study using an anthropologically based technique for systematic observation and interpretation of work flow, which relates this language/action perspective to the Scandinavian approach to systems development through participatory design. Our field study in an airport operations room has demonstrated the applicability of the theoretical framework and has clarified some practical issues in applying it to analyzing and redesigning work activities."

To what ratio? I didnt say make touchdowns worth nothing, I just believe they're tuned to be worth too much point wise in a fantasy setting for the reasons I indicated. When you have a 60 yard completion by a WR that is a highlight reel type play and something that rarely happens if its not completed for a touchdown that is typically worth 6 points due to the 1 point per 10 yard scoring format. Most standard scoring I dont even believe they offer points for receptions. The touchdown is worth 6 points so a fullback getting the call on the 1 yard line which is a very high % success rate playcall will get the same points as that highlight reel play by the WR earlier despite a much more routine play.
I believe in the league I ran I knocked TD's to something like 4 points and counted points for receptions and increased points per yardage and increased point penalty for fumbles or interceptions thrown to offset some of the gains in points. How is that not a sensible way to score a fantasy sport?

Barrow boy Ben's dream PNE debut
Last updated at 17:17, Monday, 28 January 2013
A BARROW teenage football ace – spotted while playing for Furness Rovers as an 11-year-old – made a stunning professional debut for Preston North End.
Ben Davies started at left back for the Deepdale club on Saturday and impressed so much in the 2-2 League One draw against Coventry City he was voted man of the match.
The 17-year-old has been with Preston for five years, after scouts noticed him during a junior tournament in Lancaster. Now Davies, of Cloisters Avenue, who has come up through the club's youth system, is hoping to gain a full contract with the famous Lancashire club.
The footballer said he was nervous in the build-up before he went to the ground, but once he arrived at Deepdale the nerves began to disappear.
Davies, a former Roose Primary and Parkview/Furness Academy pupil, who had a hand in both Preston goals after his side came from behind to earn a share of the spoils, said yesterday: "It was very good, there was a good atmosphere."
The talented defender has worked hard to get this far and is now hoping to establish himself in the first team, saying: "I would love to, that's my goal now and then to get a contract. Once you get a chance it's great.
"Once you start training with the first team you feel better."
In the stands cheering him on were his family, dad Steve, mum Gill and sister Alice, along with some of Davies's friends. Mrs Davies said: "I am very pleased for him. It was a very good day.
"That was his first proper match at Deepdale. He was proper made up."
Davies had been due to make his bow at Yeovil the previous week but the match was called off and he will be hoping to get the nod for tomorrow's match at Crawley.
"He's done brilliantly," said his mother. "The manager said he was really pleased with him.
"He did have a good, solid game. He got man of the match on his debut. We were over the moon.
"He has done exceptionally well, it's been on the cards for a while. He's been training with the proper team for the last few weeks.
Davies, who can play either at centre half or full-back, is more than six feet tall and has been described as an intelligent footballer who can read the game very well.
Preston are a founder member of the English Football League in 1888 and were the first club to complete a league and cup double, achieving the feat in 1889.
They were also league champions in 1890, won the FA Cup again in 1938 having been finalists on five other occasions – 1888, 1922, 1937, 1954 and 1964 when they were beaten 3-2 by West Ham.
Arguably the most famous player to wear the Preston colours is forward Sir Tom Finney , who played 76 times for England scoring 30 goals , made 433 league appearances netting 187 goals and turned out 40 times in the FA Cup scoring 23 times.

The Cubs registered five first-inning runs, but the Cardinals rallied to defeat the North Siders, 10-9, in St. Louis on Monday night.
One month into the season, the Cubs still feel comfortable with carrying three catchers on the big-league roster and don't intend to change anything anytime soon.
Joe Maddon's latest class at Cubs U is teaching a roster packed with young players how to win on a consistent basis.

Australian insurer Vero says it is aiming to ramp up its earthquake repairs and rebuilds early next year and talk to more of its technical category 3 customers.
Vero's earthquake programme executive manager, Jimmy Higgins, said that while there was "a modest number of over-cap domestic rebuilds and repairs under way", the compmany expected construction activity to significantly increase in the first half of 2013.
As New Zealand's second-largest general insurer, Vero had about 200 repairs and rebuild projects ready to start and would have another 500 to 600 by Christmas in the preconstruction and construction stage.
It had sent its residential claimants starting dates for their repairs and rebuilds by the end of September.
The starting dates are within the next six months and go through to 2015.
Vero is not saying when it expects to complete the projects.
Higgins said Vero had settled almost 50 per cent of its 19,600 commercial and domestic claims, including payments of $1.76 billion.
It had started some repairs in the TC3 zone and expected to talk to more TC3 customers next year.
The zone is considered vulnerable to moderate to severe liquefaction and has the most complexity on land remediation and foundation repairs. About 28,000 Christchurch properties are TC3.
Higgins said Vero's drilling programme was enabling better understanding of how to repair and rebuild in the TC3 zone.
Vero had more than 1000 projects in the final stages of preconstruction.
Almost one-third of its ''non-EQC'' claims - such as for drives, paths, fences, swimming pools and retaining walls - were completed or near completion.
It was paying between $80 million and $100m a month in claims, Higgins said.
The company had set up specialist teams for customer groups, such as a team for TC3 claims and one for ''non-EQC'' claims to accelerate its response.

Caving on the DFL's plethora of transportation tax increases means caving on a fight Minnesotans want Republicans to win. The latest KSTP-SurveyUSA poll showed 75% of Minnesotans supporting the GOP plan of not raising transportation taxes. That poll showed only 18% of Minnesotans supporting the DFL's transportation tax increases. That's because Minnesotans of all political stripes oppose transportation tax increases. I'm certain that people that vehemently oppose a transportation tax increase wouldn't support a $13,000,000,000 transportation tax increase.
Minnesotans spoke clearly in that poll on what they don't want in this year's transportation plan. They didn't speak with timidity. They spoke with clarity and conviction. It's impossible to mistake the message they sent. To their credit, Republicans put together a plan that Minnesotans called for. They said no to the DFL's transportation tax increases. Republicans said no to tax increases that increase funding for transit projects that serve hundreds of people a day.
Republicans said yes to a new plan that will work. Republicans said yes to stable transportation funding. They said yes to the Transportation Stability Fund. Unlike the DFL's failed Transportation Bill of 2008, the Transportation Stability Fund will fund Minnesota's priorities.
Let's remember that the DFL promised that the DFL's Transportation Bill of 2008 would fix Minnesota's roads and bridges for the next quarter century. Instead, the DFL Transportation Bill of 2008 failed within 5 years. Why would anyone trust the DFL with a history of failure like that?
Minnesotans want their roads widened and their potholes filled. They aren't imploring politicians to fund more light rail projects. It's time that Republicans totally reject the DFL's plan. Compromise is the right response when multiple plans have something positive to contribute to the problem. There's nothing in the DFL plan that fixes Minnesota's potholed roads. The chief feature in the DFL's plan is the DFL's latest attempt to lift Minnesotans' wallets.
Voting for a plan that doesn't fix Minnesota's roads or fill Minnesota's potholes isn't compromise. It's total capitulation.
It's time Republicans highlighted the fact that the DFL's transportation policies have failed before. Republicans should remind people of that fact dozens of times a day. In fact, what House and Senate Republicans should do is tell vulnerable DFL members that they'll target vulnerable DFL legislators in swing districts if they vote for a transportation plan that includes a transportation tax increase.
It's time Republicans kept their promises. Further, it's time Republicans went on the offensive. It's time the DFL paid a high political price for their failed policies. That time is right now.
]]>His near-daily posts about what that day's news means in terms of whether Peterson will be a Viking next opening day is a display of how the NFL encourages media coverage whether there's anything to report on or not. (There usually isn't.)
Yesterday, there genuinely was news on the Peterson front. The NFL finally reinstated him after putting him on the Commissioner's naughty boy list. The Vikings issued this brief statement on Peterson's reinstatement:
"The Minnesota Vikings have been informed by the NFL that Adrian Peterson has been reinstated. We look forward to Adrian re-joining the Vikings."
Immediately, the 'Will Adrian be freed and traded to the Cowboys?' stories littered the internet again. The answer to that question is simple. Adrian will be traded if another NFL team blows them away with an offer.
Rick Spielman, the Vikings GM, has repeatedly and steadfastly said that they're looking forward to seeing Adrian lining up behind future superstar QB Teddy Bridgewater. Why wouldn't he want that? Adrian Peterson is the best running back in the NFL. The last 4 years, he's been the only offensive weapon the Vikings had. That's why it's astonishing he's been incredibly productive. He's been the only threat the other team's defense has had to identify and stop.
That's meant having 8 or 9 men within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage on, at minimum, 80% of rushing plays. This offseason, the Vikings added Mike Wallace, once the premium deep threat pass catcher in the NFL. Imagine how thrilled he'd be consistently getting man coverage while the defense focuses on Adrian. Imagine the explosiveness of the Vikings offense with Teddy Bridgewater emerging as a Pro Bowl QB with a full set of weapons.
Spielman's message to other NFL teams has been simple. Adrian's under contract to us for the next 3 years. If you want him on your team, you'll have to blow us away with a great offer. If we don't get that type offer, we'll just have to figure out a way to use Mr. Peterson.
If Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants Adrian Peterson playing his home games in Dallas, he'd better put together a great offer. If he doesn't, Adrian Peterson will remain a Viking.
]]>It's all about personal finances—Some believe it's about the economy, which is a close substitute. But what really matters is how people feel about their own personal finances. If people are feeling much better about their own finances in a year, that would be good news for the Democratic nominee. If things stay the same or get worse, it's bad news for the president's party.
The White House has regurgitated their chanting points on the economy whenever there's a monthly jobs report or a quarterly GDP report. Their economic team could probably recited it in their sleep. That means nothing to voters.
Because the Obama administration's policies help big corporations, people working for big corporations have done well, especially with their stock market investments. They weren't hurt by excessive regulations like small businesses have been hurt.
Small businesses have gotten hit with tons of additional costs through regulations. Because much of their would-be profits have gotten eaten by compliance costs, they haven't been able to expand their businesses or give employees raises.
The Big Blue Wall is a Myth—Democrats argue that all they have to do is win states that consistently voted for their party since 1992 and they just about have the Electoral College locked up. The problem with this theory is that it's the result of the Republicans winning a majority of the popular vote only once in the past six elections. If a Republican does better in the popular vote, he or she will win some of those states Democrats think they have locked up.
I recently sat down with the red state-blue state map for 2012. Democrats, we're told, have 242 electoral votes in their column. Republicans have 199 electoral votes in their column. It's likely that Florida will flip back into the red column. That's 29 EVs. I can't picture Hillary doing well in blue collar Ohio. If that's flipped into the red column, that's another 18 EVs. Those states' results suddenly put the race 246 Republicans, 242 Democrats. Colorado will likely flip for the Republicans, too. That's another 9 EVs, putting the GOP ticket at 255 EVs. Winning Iowa's 6 EVs and Wisconsin's 12 EVs puts Republicans at 273. That's before talking about Virginia, New Mexico, Nevada and New Hampshire.
It's likely that Hillary will run a 'War on Women' campaign. The question isn't whether that will be Hillary's strategy. The question is whether she's a terrible candidate who'll be seen as manipulative and contrived. Thus far, Hillary hasn't shown that she's got the political talent required to pull that off. I think that the thing that other pundits have called rust is really Hillary's lack of talent. If her last name was Miller, I don't think the DC punditry would call her a top tier talent.
]]>The hardball tactics, coming in McConnell's first 100 days as majority leader, pose some risks for a GOP majority determined to show it can govern. Democrats can win back the Senate in 2016 by winning four or five seats, depending on the outcome of the presidential race.
McConnell is facing rising pressure to allow a vote on Lynch, who Democrats this week noted has waited 160 days since her nomination for a confirmation vote.
Supporters launched a hunger strike this week, and The Washington Post editorial board on Thursday slammed the GOP leader for the "shabby treatment" of Lynch, who would be the first black woman to serve as attorney general. The Post wrote there is "no principled reason to link Ms. Lynch's nomination to the passage of the trafficking bill," and that she should get "immediate floor consideration."
However, McConnell's strategy also has benefits for the GOP leader and his conference, which has unified around him.
Republicans are irked that Democrats blocked the trafficking bill over language that would prevent money for a victims fund set up by the bill to be used for abortions, even after some Democrats voted for the bill in committee. Democrats later said they did not realize the abortion language had been included in the legislation.
The Washington Post Editorial Board said that there is "no principled reason" for denying a vote on Lynch. They're wrong.
Actions have consequences. Democrats unanimously voted for the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act in committee. Then the Democrats' pro-abortion special interest groups descended on the Judiciary Committee Democrats like locusts descended on Egypt in the time of Moses. Immediately, Democrats started lying, saying that they didn't know the 68-page bill contained Hyde Amendment language. That's BS.
If Democrats want to continue pandering to Planned Parenthood, NOW and other abortion extremists, there's a price to be paid. Breaking promises has consequences. Democrats broke their promise on the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act. Until they stop pandering to these extremists, Mitch McConnell should let them know that lying isn't acceptable.
There's a simple solution to this. Democrats will get what they want the minute Republicans get what they want. If Democrats insist on getting everything, they'll get nothing.
Finally, it's disgusting that these Democrats are these abortion extremists' puppets.

]]>Gov. Dayton didn't know that the Vikings stadium bill had a provision in it that allowed the Wilfs to sell personal seat license but Gov. Dayton knows that the Lindstrom highway sign doesn't have the proper umlauting.
Gov. Dayton didn't know that the 2013 Tax Bill that he negotiated with the DFL legislative leaders included a sales tax on farm equipment repairs but he's ordered the umlautless signs to be fixed ASAP. Minnesotans will sleep easier tonight knowing that Gov. Dayton's attention to detail is unsurpassed:
In a new executive order issued Wednesday, Dayton demanded his state's transportation authority "reinstate the use of umlauts on roadway signage, when appropriate."
"Nonsensical rules like this are exactly why people get frustrated with government," Dayton said in an accompanying statement. Dayton said he was inspired by the troubles faced by the relatively small city of Lindström, which bills itself as "America's Little Sweden." "Even if I have to drive to Lindström, and paint the umlauts on the city limit signs myself, I'll do it," Dayton vowed in his clearly emotional statement.
That's stunning. Getting upset because road signs don't have umlauts where they're appropriate isn't just a little deranged. That's a 'the cheese has slid totally off the cracker' moment. Not everyone agrees with me, which is stunning by itself:
Business Insider reached out to Lindström City Hall for comment on the executive order. City Administrator John Olinger applauded the governor's change, which he said would allow local signage to better reflect the city's history.
At least someone other than Gov. Dayton will sleep better tonight thanks to Gov. Dayton taking decisive action.
]]>I'm tired of getting that reply. There's no justification for the disgusting things Sen. Reid has said, especially the lie that he told about Mitt Romney not paying taxes for 10 years. I know that Sen. Reid is protected from litigation because his statements on the Senate floor are covered by the Speech and Debate Clause of the Constitution.
Harry Reid's actions condemn him. Reid didn't think about troop morale when he said that "the war is lost" shortly after President Bush ordered the start of the Surge. It didn't take long for Sen. Reid to be proven wrong. The surge worked.
Key question: What type of dirt bag puts a higher priority on criticizing the commander-in-chief than the puts on maintaining the morale of true American patriots who are putting their lives on the line?
Harry Reid didn't hesitate in lying about Mitt Romney. He didn't have proof that Mitt didn't pay taxes. He didn't care. Sen. Reid put a higher priority on winning at all costs than he put on being a man of character.
Key question: What type of political party sits silent while their leader repeatedly lies about the other party's presidential candidate?
Frankly, it's disgusting that a political party wouldn't criticize a dirt bag like Sen. Reid. Today's Democratic Party isn't just without character. They're disgusting to the core. They're unrepentant. Their first concern is accumulating and maintaining power. Their next priority is to never criticize a fellow Democrat no matter what they've done.
Edmund Burke said something that Democrats should think about if they still have a heart. He said "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Right now, the Democratic Party is filled with people who a) apparently don't have a heart and b) haven't lifted a finger to criticize one of the nastiest politicians that's ever served in the US Senate.
Key question: Are there any Democrats still in the Senate or in Punditland that will excoriate Sen. Reid and run him out of DC?
Kirsten Powers has done some honorable things. Still, last night, she didn't do a thing to excoriate Sen. Reid. She had the opportunity to criticize him and take down the nastiest man in the Senate. Ron Fournier had the same opportunity. He didn't lift his voice to excoriate Sen. Reid, either.
Key principle: Americans shouldn't trust a political party that doesn't care about ethical behavior.
The Democratic Party is infested with disgusting people who don't have the character required to consistently do the right thing. During the last 6 years, they've consistently put doing what their special interests wanted them to do ahead of doing what's right for the American people.
If people with character within the Democratic Party don't rip the party away from the Harry Reids of the world, then the Democratic Party should be vanquished to the trash heap of failed political parties. They will have earned it.

]]>Hillary Clinton's AstroTurf candidacy is in full swing in Iowa.
Her Tuesday morning visit to a coffee shop in LeClaire, Iowa was staged from beginning to end, according to Austin Bird, one of the men pictured sitting at the table with Mrs. Clinton. Bird told Daily Mail Online that campaign staffer Troy Price called and asked him and two other young people to meet him Tuesday morning at a restaurant in Davenport, a nearby city. Price then drove them to the coffee house to meet Clinton after vetting them for about a half-hour.
The three got the lion's share of Mrs. Clinton's time and participated in what breathless news reports described as a 'roundtable'– the first of many in her brief Iowa campaign swing. Bird himself is a frequent participant in Iowa Democratic Party events. He interned with President Obama's 2012 presidential re-election campaign, and was tapped to chauffeur Vice President Joe Biden in October 2014 when he visited Davenport. 'What happened is, we were just asked to be there by Troy,' Bird said Wednesday in a phone interview.
Hillary meeting with 'ordinary people' is off to a glorious start. Who knew that she'd just happen to find some former Obama campaign volunteers at that quaint little diner? If that isn't the most coincidental meeting in the history of campaigns, it's close.
It's still too early to be certain but the hunch I'm getting is that Hillary's campaign is suffering through an enthusiasm gap. This staged event isn't the only indicator. The fact that there's a 'Draft Elizabeth Warren' organization after all the times Sen. Warren has said she isn't running indicates Democrats just don't like Hillary.
Price was executive director of the Iowa Democratic Party until a month ago. Clinton's team tapped him last week to be its political director in Iowa. He did not respond to a request for comment.
Bird is a government and community relations coordinator at Genesis Health System in Davenport, Iowa, according to his LinkedIn profile. A coworker at Genesis said Wednesday that Bird is 'basically a lobbyist in training. That's what he wants to do.' Bird disagreed, saying his role was 'more public relations.'
I'm betting that Iowa Democrats don't care that Hillary's events are staged. They just care about winning. Hillary's problem with this publicity is that it feeds the narrative that Hillary is distant and doesn't connect with voters.
Clinton's nascent campaign has carefully coordinated her image as a spontaneous, handshaking populist in her first days as a candidate, posing with Pennsylvanians at a gas station and venturing into an Ohio Chipotle restaurant for lunch. When no one recognized the former first lady – she was wearing sunglasses – the campaign leaked information to The New York Times so its reporters could get security-camera footage to prove she had tried to mingle with voters.
If Hillary doesn't change things, she'll need to raise that $2,500,000,000 just to bribe enough 'activists' to attend her events.

]]>What's strange is no group or individual has had the intestinal fortitude to stand up and say that they requested that a PEIS be conducted. There have been plenty of fingers pointed at groups like Friends of the Boundary Waters, Northeastern Minnesotans for Wilderness, Sustainable Ely along with one person who has connections to those groups and who has consistently spoken against copper-nickel mining in northeast Minnesota. That person is Becky Rom of Ely.
So we called Rom and asked her if she or any of the groups she is affiliated with formally requested a PEIS from the Forest Service. As a former attorney, Rom is skilled at not answering questions. So we pressed and pressed some more. Here's the best of answers we could get:
"I've encouraged the agencies to do what's required under the law and using the best science." "Nobody is pushing for an extra layer or extra delays or costs or more money. I'm just saying this is really important and doing right is following the law and basing decisions on the best science." "I did not pen any letter but I've had these discussions."
"As far as I know there's no formal process for a request like a petition."We specifically asked if Rom had approached U.S. Department of Agriculture Under Secretary Robert Bonnie (who oversees the USFS). "I never talked about this to Mr. Bonnie."
It wasn't until later that the Ely Echo found out that "Northeastern Minnesotans for Wilderness" requested the PEIS. At the time, Ms. Rom was NEMW's vice-chair.
That's just the tip of the Rom-corruption iceberg.
When Rep. Betty McCollum submitted the National Park and Wilderness Waters Protection Act for congressional consideration, Rom praised the legislation:
"This Act is crucial to protecting large portions of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Voyageurs National Park from acid mine drainage," said Becky Rom, third-generation Ely resident and chair of the Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters. "Sulfide-ore copper mining would do more harm than good to this beloved region. Allowing industrialized mining on the edge of the Boundary Waters would not only pollute water, it would also destroy National Forest lands in areas now used for hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, dogsledding, hiking, skiing, canoeing, logging and other activities."
The problem with that statement is that this article disputes the "third-generation Ely resident" claim:
His daughter, Becky Rom of Edina, a dedicated conservation volunteer, said Olson urged Rom to take jobs in the wilderness, primarily with the U.S. Forest Service in the 1930s.
I don't doubt that Rom has maintained ties with the Ely area. It's just that I doubt Ms. Rom's ability to tell the whole truth. My opinion isn't just based on that article. Here's Ms. Rom's official bio:
Rebecca (Becky) Rom has served on The Wilderness Society governing council since 1996. Becky recently retired as president of Twin Cities Community Land Bank, a nonprofit organization that provides a variety of services for urban redevelopment of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.
For over thirty years she practiced law at Faegre & Benson, a law firm that has engaged in a national public interest practice in public lands and wildlife protection.
Becky has been an advocate of wilderness protection for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the Quetico Provincial Park since the mid-1970s and, among other positions, chaired the board of the Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness for 17 years. She has also been active in Alaska public lands issues, serving as a board member of the Alaska Wilderness League and founding and chairing the Alaska Coalition of Minnesota.
Becky is former chair of The Wilderness Society's Governing Council.
In other words, saying that Rom is a "third-generation Ely resident" isn't just a bit of an embellishment. It's stretching the truth to the point that the truth isn't recognizable.

]]>"I've had a lot to say on this subject on [ESPN's NFL] Insiders," he said. "Let's take away the hypotheticals for a moment and say the following: Despite anything his agent may say to the contrary or his, quote, people, whoever they may be or say to the contrary, the following are the facts. He has a valid contract, a multi-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings. And if the Minnesota Vikings decide that they want him to play football for them, he will play football for them or play football for no one.
"So I think that is a fact. It's very clear-cut. It's black and white, despite any protestations to the contrary. Secondly, if you were to be interested in trading for him, that means that the Vikings control the ability to move him. No one else. So there is no third party interaction here. This is a question of whether or not the Vikings want to trade Adrian Peterson to someone else. So I think those two sets of facts have been lost in all of the noise that surrounds this situation almost since last January.
"The third part of the equation is where does he stand with the league? I presume that question will be answered at some point in the foreseeable future. But it has not been answered yet. And that certainly affects any potential trade. I hasten to add that if the Vikings would be willing to entertain one — and they have said just the opposite, at least from where I can tell recently — trying to determine what's fair compensation for him in a trade assumes that the Vikings would be willing to enter into such a transaction. Not that someone else decides that it should take place.
"So compensation is [Vikings General Manager] Rick Spielman's call, and I'm not going to farm his land. The fact of the matter is that he has a very, very fair contract, in my opinion, from his perspective. He's the highest-paid back in the league, I believe. And he has a multi-year contract. So he would be ostensibly available for three more years if any team ever trades for him. To me, that mitigates whatever his age is. He's also had a year off, which is probably for a running back a good thing. So the extent that his age is a factor if you were going to move him, I don't think it is a factor because he's under club control for the next three years.
"Could you make a trade for anybody on the clock? Of course you can. But the question of whether or not that player will report is another issue. And that's unknowable at this time. I would be, as a general manager, I'd be very wary given what's gone on up to this point that he would report and honor that contract. I would have concerns about that if I were trying to make a trade."
This is essentially the same answer Polian has given ever since Ben Dogra, Adrian Peterson's agent, started shooting his mouth off about the subject.
To the fans, Ben Dogra is a villain. To Vikings GM Rick Spielman, he's just a pain in the arse. Dogra is doing what Adrian wants him to do. To his credit, Spielman is playing hardball. That's the right response to the situation. If Spielman can swing a trade that nets him a first round pick that he can turn into Todd Gurley, that's fantastic. If he can't, then Spielman should call Adrian and tell him he's expected to show up for the mandatory mini-camps. He should also remind Peterson that non-participation will cost him $45,000,000 in salaries that he won't collect and it'll force him to write a check for $2,400,000 for the signing bonus he didn't earn.
I'm betting it won't come to that. No player is stupid enough to turn his back on $50,000,000. No agent would advise his client to forfeit that money, especially considering the fact that Adrian's salary pays Dogra's commission.

]]>The sixth issue of the HuskyData Newsletter, "a regular newsletter dedicated to sharing data and information about SCSU and our students," was released on Friday, March 4, 2015. It focused on developmental courses and student success.
A plot reproduced from the HuskyData 6 newsletter shows the percentage of first-time students taking at least one developmental course during their first year:
If you look at the data as a whole, the average is 28.4% with a standard deviation of 1.4. From the data, it certainly appears that since Fall 2010 the number of students taking a developmental course in first-time student cohorts is decreasing. In fact, the data for Fall 2014 (not shown in the plot) shows the decline has continued to 25%. From the trend in the declining number of first-time students taking a least one developmental course, one might jump to the belief the data shows that SCSU is attracting a better 'quality' student. It certainly seems reasonable that if there were fewer students taking developmental courses, there would be a concomitant increase in the academic quality of a cohort of students.
The belief that SCSU is attracting a better quality student might also be supported by the decline in the number of DGS/ACE students that has occurred since Fall 2011 (as shown in the following figure):
If students in the DGS/ACE program did not meet SCSU's normal admission standards, it's reasonable to assume that the DGS/ACE students are responsible for the largest percentage of first-time students taking developmental courses. However, despite their reasonableness, assumptions can be incorrect. The following figure shows the number of New Entering Freshman (NEF) and DGS/ACE students:
From this figure, it is clear that the number of DGS/ACE students is declining at a rate that is much greater than rate of decline in the number of NEF. If the percentage of DGS/ACE students out of the total number of NEF (DGS/ACE students are counted as NEF) is calculated, the following figure is obtained:
Clearly, the percentage of DGS/ACE students of the total number of NEF has declined nearly 50% from the value in Fall 2011. Thus, when the DGS/ACE students are excluded, it is clear that the percentage of NEF that are taking at least one developmental course is, in fact, INCREASING among regularly admitted students. As a result, if the quality of entering students is measured by the percentage of regularly admitted students taking developmental courses, the quality is actually declining.
Unfortunately, with the pressures created by a 21.8% decline in enrollment since FY10, it is not hard to believe that the administration is allowing students with lower academic qualifications to be admitted without necessarily being admitted to the DGS/ACE program. The following figure shows a portion of the Weekly Admit Report for March 6th, 2015:
If you calculate the percentage of admission offers as a percentage of the total applications, as of March 6th, 2015, the percentage was 57.6%. As of the same date in 2014, the percentage was 54.9%. Clearly, the acceptance percentage is increasing. If you calculate the percentage of admission offers as a percentage of the number of completed applications, you obtain 87.3%. So either SCSU is attracting high quality applicants or just about anyone who completes an application is being offered admission. If I were to make an assumption, it would be that if an applicant has a pulse and completes the application, they are offered admission. At least that is what I hear from a number of high school students who are in the process of considering where they want to go to college.
But there I go making assumptions. However, when you further consider that the number of college credits students have earned prior to graduation from high school has been increasing significantly over the past few years, the quality of entering students should be increasing. In fact, the number of students entering college right out of high school who have already completed an Associate of Arts (AA) degree (while still in high school) is growing exponentially! Within a few years it is easy to see that a majority of students will graduate from high school with an AA degree already in hand!
Thus with an increasing number of students entering college with significant numbers of college credits up to and including AA degrees, we should be seeing an increase in the quality of the incoming NEF. As a result, it should be easy to predict that the need for remedial courses will disappear entirely. Unfortunately, without any kind of assurance of the quality of the "concurrent enrollment" or "college in the schools" programs, many of these students may have nothing more than a piece of paper that they can hang on their wall. I'll even go so far as to make another assumption that we will probably see the average grade in upper-level courses go down significantly as more of these 'AA' students fill our classes.
In the end, even if the number of remedial courses decreases to zero, it may not really indicate an increase in the quality of NEF. Some people might just think of these trends as 'opportunities' for higher education. However, as a 'dinosaur' about to become extinct, HuskyData 6 looks like an effort to put lipstick on another pig rather than shining light on an important set of data with the potential to improve SCSU's response to emerging trends.
