2010 Indiana Courts in Brief - Indiana Judicial Service Report
An overview of Indiana court programs, case statistics, finances, and probation for calendar year 2010.
IndIana JudIcIal ServIce report E ach year, nearly four million Hoosiers, or approximately 60 per cent of all residents, see their government at work though the lens of the judicial system. These millions of Hoosiers are parties or victims in the nearly two million cases brought each year before Indiana courts. For many, involvement in a court proceeding as a civil litigant, a defendant, or a victim is the first and only personal encounter with their state government. Indiana judges are keenly aware of the importance of these court experiences and the judges' responsibility to deliver justice under the rule of law. The Indiana Supreme Court Division of State Court Administration is proud to report on the work of 571 judicial officers and 5,100 court employees on behalf of Hoosiers during 2010. As Indiana Chief Justice Randall Shepard reported in his State of the Judiciary Address of January 20, 2010 to the Indiana General Assembly, even in the face of challenging fiscal times, the Indiana Court System "won't roll over." This report highlights some of the significant achievements Indiana's courts accomplished in 2010. 2 Indiana Courts in Brief | 2010 Indiana Judicial Service Report As Working to Provide Meaningful Access to Justice for Litigants with Limited English Proficiency the National Center for State Courts. It enables the member court systems to pool resources, which pay for the Consortium to develop, maintain, revalidate and update examinations that measure proficiency in a number of foreign languages. Through the Consortium, Indiana has access to study guides, an orientation program, and practice examination kits, all of which help assure well trained and qualified court interpreters. Indiana also has access to federally certified interpreters who have been specifically trained by the Consortium to grade oral exams. The Indiana Supreme Court Interpreter Certification Program is a 5-part program that must be completed in its entirety in order for an interpreter to be certified. A candidate must first complete the orientation workshop before he or she can proceed to the second step, the written exam. Upon passing the written exam, the candidate must attend a skills building workshop, the third step of the process, before he or she is eligible to sit for the oral exam, the fourth step. Upon passing the oral exam, the candidate may proceed to the fifth and final step, and must successfully complete a criminal background check. In so doing, the candidate must also agree to uphold the standards in the Indiana Supreme Court Interpreter Code of Conduct and Procedure. Since its inception in 2002, the Indiana Court Interpreter Certification Program has produced eighty-two certified court interpreters. The majority are Spanish interpreters, but the group also includes French, Arabic, Polish, and Mandarin interpreters. The Certification Program is guided by the Advisory Committee. It sets standards in most other states, the need for qualified court interpretive services has grown exponentially in Indiana due to an increase in the population of litigants of limited English proficiency (LEP). The Indiana judicial system has worked hard, under difficult fiscal constraints, to enhance court interpreter services and the access to justice for LEP litigants. Following are some of the programs and initiatives aimed at improving meaningful access to justice for LEP individuals: Indiana Court Interpreter Certification Program: Consortium membership; Advisory Board; Court Interpreter Code of Ethics; Training and Testing. The Supreme Court's certification program for qualifying foreign language court interpreters is a crucial piece of the Indiana program for LEP litigants. As part of this effort, the Supreme Court convened an Advisory Committee to guide the program, promulgated a code of ethics for court interpreters, and most importantly, joined the National Consortium for Language Access in the Courts (the "Consortium"). Forty-three state court systems belong to the Consortium, which is housed at As of 2010, the Supreme Court has awarded $1,196,250 in grants for interpreter services in over 160,000 cases. 2010 Indiana Judicial Service Report | Indiana Courts in Brief 3 Working to Provide Meaningful Access to Justice for Litigants with Limited English Proficiency that relate to all aspects of administering the certification program, including the processing of requests for certifications of court interpreters who have been certified by other jurisdictions. The Interpreter Code of Conduct sets specific expectations for loyalty, conflicts, and conduct of interpreters. The grant program encourages courts to use certified court interpreters by requiring that 80% of the grant funds be used to pay for certified interpreters. Each year, 30 to 40 of Indiana's 92 counties apply for these grants. As of 2010, the Supreme Court has awarded $1,196,250 in grants for interpreter services in over 160,000 cases. The majority of these funds have been used to fund the services of certified court interpreters. Indiana trial courts simply dial an "800" number to request Language Line services. In most instances, Language Line can provide an interpreter within minutes of initiating the telephone call. Recently, Judge Darrin M. Dolehanty of Wayne Superior Court 3 wrote to Chief Justice Shepard to say: "I just completed my first ever `Language Line' interpreter hearing. We were presented with an initial hearing for a misdemeanor charge and the defendant was clearly not understanding my use of the King's English. Although his language was not listed on the language line card (which has sat in my desk drawer since new judge orientation in 2003), he was able to tell me that his native language is Punjabi. We hooked up a speaker phone, went on the record, called Language Line, and had a Punjabi interpreter on the line in less than one minute. The hearing took a little while longer than the usual misdemeanor initial hearing, but what an amazing result to have this type of service available to us in a mostly rural community. As an added bonus, I think we impressed several members of the public by being able to take care of this type of a unique hearing, while barely missing a beat. Thank you for providing this service to our trial courts." Court Interpreter Grant Program Because most of the operations of Indiana's trial courts are funded by local tax revenues, providing qualified foreign language interpreters to LEP litigants could present financial challenges in areas with high LEP populations. Often, the challenge is not only due to fiscal constraints but also results from a lack of local qualified interpreters in the geographic area. The Supreme Court's certification program has made significant inroads in creating a pool of qualified Indiana interpreters close to home. A court interpreter grant program is aimed at helping courts defray the cost of providing qualified court interpreter services. At the request of Chief Justice Shepard, the Indiana General Assembly provides funds, which the Court sends to the trial courts in the form of grants for foreign language court interpreter services. Use of Telephonic Foreign Language Interpreter Services The Indiana Supreme Court also provides, at no charge to the courts or litigants, the use of a state-paid contract with Language Line, a national telephonic interpreting service. This arrangement allows courts to have access to qualified interpreters in over 170 languages, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Language Line interpreters are highly qualified, although not certified by the Indiana court interpreter program. They have internal court interpreter training which includes testing for knowledge of court terminology, court protocol, and etiquette. All Language Line interpreters are governed by an Interpreter Code of Ethics. "...what an amazing result to have this type of service available to us in a mostly rural community." --Judge Darrin M. Dolehanty 4 Indiana Courts in Brief | 2010 Indiana Judicial Service Report Working to Provide Meaningful Access to Justice for Litigants with Limited English Proficiency Education for Judicial Officers and Court and Clerk Staff The Supreme Court recognized that sometime even the simplest questions, such as "what court do I go to?" can remain unanswered if court personnel cannot communicate with the LEP litigants who come through their doors. To help alleviate this barrier, the Court has collaborated with Indiana's Ivy Tech Community College System, which has numerous campuses throughout the state, to develop a work place Spanish training program for Indiana's court and clerk personnel. Since the program began in 2006, approximately 728 court and clerk employees have completed coursework to learn how to communicate basic information to Spanishspeaking litigants and their family members. In addition, the Indiana Judicial Conference, the education arm of the judicial system, has conducted many education sessions for judicial officers about litigants with language barriers. Trial and drug court judges and staff, the state's probation officers, and even domestic violence advocates have been trained thus far. Judicial Leadership: Writings by the Chief Justice For many years, the Court, and particularly Indiana Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard, have promoted greater access to our courts for LEP litigants and have searched for innovative ways, in addition to employing more traditional means, to reach this goal. This is a topic that Chief Justice Shepard has discussed on two specific occasions in his addresses to the Indiana General Assembly. See State of the Judiciary Speech: "Indiana's Place in American CourtReform: Rarely First, Occasionally Last, Frequently Early" (2006); and State of the Judiciary Speech: "Most Justice Happens in the County Courthouse" (2007) at courts.in.gov/supreme/state_jud.html.Through these concerted efforts, Indiana's courts are making great strides on many fronts to assure that LEP litigants have equal and fair access to justice in the our courts. Improving communications and understanding of court proceedings The Supreme Court has undertaken the translating of important legal information for use by LEP litigants. The Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, Child Support Worksheet, court forms for filing dissolution cases and relevant portions of the Indiana Criminal Code are now available in Spanish on the Indiana Judiciary website. In addition, the Court has two professionally produced Spanish videos with English subtitles. One is the Initial Hearing for Juvenile Delinquency, and the other is the Initial Hearing for Adults. All of these resources are available online at courts.in.gov/espanol. 2010 Indiana Judicial Service Report | Indiana Courts in Brief 5 Judiciary Leads the Adoption of Evidence-Based Risk & Needs Assessment Tools for Indiana Criminal & Juvenile Justice Systems In 2010, Indiana achieved a significant milestone by becoming one of the first states to adopt automated, statewide, evidence-based standard risk and needs assessment tools for use in all juvenile and criminal cases. These risk and needs assessment tools are designed to provide information about an offender's risk to reoffend, enabling courts and justice agencies to decide on appropriate placements, programs and services. Using evidence-based risk and needs assessment tools in the decision-making process about offenders has been proven to reduce recidivism and increase public safety. Before Indiana adopted the automated risk assessment tools, probation departments and community correction agencies throughout the state used a variety of risk assessment tools. There was no easy way to share the information, many efforts were duplicated, and each agency individually paid for using those assessments. By using the new automated risk assessment system for all cases across all stages of the criminal and juvenile process, the counties and state correction agencies are saving money and making better informed decisions about offender programs and services. The Indiana risk assessment project began in 2006, when the Indiana Judicial Conference and its staff agency, the Indiana Judicial Center, convened a task force of stakeholders from the criminal and juvenile justice systems and asked it to develop a risk assessment process that could be used across all stages of the Indiana juvenile and criminal justice processes. A federal grant through the Indiana Criminal Justice Agency provided the funds for the project. The task force recommended that Indiana adopt an adult and juvenile assessment system developed by the University of Cincinnati and based on Ohio data. After validating the tools for use in Indiana, the task force adopted the Indiana Youth Assessment System (IYAS) for juvenile offenders and the Indiana Risk Assessment System (IRAS) for adult offenders. Risk and needs assessment tools are based on evidence-based practices. The term "evidence-based practices" means that the practices are based on empirical data derived through scientific research from juvenile and criminal justice data. This research points to specific indicators that can help decision makers assess how offenders should be treated so that the risks of reoffending are minimized and safety is improved. Evidence-based practice research also indicates that the most effective use of limited resources is to target individuals with high or moderate risk and need factors for more intensive supervision and services. The assessment also forms the basis for an individualized plan for each offender. With the help of representatives from probation, community corrections, the Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC), Division of State Court Administration and Indiana Judicial Center, the Supreme Court's Judicial Technology and Automation Committee (JTAC) developed an electronic means for scoring and storing the results of the 6 Indiana Courts in Brief | 2010 Indiana Judicial Service Report Adoption of Evidence-Based Risk & Needs Assessment Tools for Indiana Criminal & Juvenile Justice Systems risk assessment tools through INcite, the Supreme Court's framework for sharing electronic data. The automated tool for juveniles, called the Indiana Youth Assessment System (IYAS), was released and piloted in September 2010, by the Marion County Juvenile Probation Department. The automated tool for adults, called the Indiana Risk Assessment System (IRAS) was released and piloted in November by users in the Morgan and Hendricks county probation departments. Next, the Indiana Judicial Center staff set out to certify the users. By the end of 2010, the Indiana Judicial Center had trained, tested and certified over 700 juvenile system staff during 34 training sessions and over 1,700 adult system staff during 59 training sessions conducted across the state. Training, testing and certification will continue throughout the year as personnel changes. In addition, certified users must be recertified every three years. The last step of the implementation process took place in April 2010 when the Board of Directors of the Judicial Conference of Indiana adopted three policies, requiring that the risk assessment tools be used and governing how they are to be used. The IRAS tool for adult offenders has five components, which are used at specific stages of the process. The names, which are self-explanatory, are: � Pre-Trial Tool � Community Supervision Screener � Community Supervision Tool � Prison Intake Tool � Reentry Tool The IYAS tool for juvenile offenders has six components whose names, also self-explanatory, are: � Diversion Tool � Detention Tool � Disposition Screener � Disposition Tool � Residential Tool � Reentry Tool The risk assessment process involves an interview with the offender, a review of the file and the gathering of collateral information. The assessment process elicits relevant factors, such as the offender's prior history with the justice system, employment and education, family and social support, substance abuse and mental health, peers and attitudes and behavioral patterns. After the Judicial Center trains and certifies a user, JTAC assigns a password to the user, which enables the user to access the INcite application. When a justice system user completes an interview with an offender, the user logs into the INcite application and fills in the risk assessment questions based on the gathered information, which predicts likely results. All of the information is stored in the automated system. As the offender progresses to the next stage of the juvenile or criminal justice system, and another risk assessment is warranted, another user will be able to use the existing offender information and scores by referring back to the previously completed risk assessments. The information gathered in the course of and as a result of the risk assessment is not subject to public access; it may be released to certain justice agencies, the offender, his lawyer, and other specifically identified entities. At the end of 2010, the Indiana Judicial Center had trained, tested, and certified over 700 juvenile system staff during 34 training sessions and over 1,700 adult system staff during 59 training sessions... 2010 Indiana Judicial Service Report | Indiana Courts in Brief 7 Adoption of Evidence-Based Risk & Needs Assessment Tools for Indiana Criminal & Juvenile Justice Systems The automated INcite Risk Assessment Application offers many advantages: � It is available to all courts and criminal and juvenile justice agencies. � The application provides a single electronic means for scoring. � Important offender information is easily shared among all users. � Each entity using the application builds on existing information, rather than completing a new assessment at each phase of the system. � System interfaces allow the transfer of risk assessment details from the Risk Assessment Application to an agency's local case management system, thereby reducing and often eliminating duplication of work. � Supervisors and administrators have the ability to analyze aggregate data for their agency and examine program effectiveness on reducing recidivism. � Since all offender data throughout the state is stored in one location, the periodic review and revalidation of the tools is greatly simplified. � Users have immediate access to the most recent versions, documents, and instructions if any part of the IYAS or IRAS is modified after a revalidation period. In addition to being one of the first states to implement a fully automated, evidence based, system-wide risk assessment tool, Indiana has the benefit of an important Supreme Court decision, which addressed and affirmed the use of evidence-based risk assessment tools by Indiana courts. Writing the unanimous decision in Malenchik v. State, 928 N.E.2d 564 (Ind. 2010), Justice Brent Dickson explained that the risk assessment tools (being challenged in that case) were not intended nor recommended to substitute the judicial function of determining the length of sentence appropriate for each offender. But such evidence-based assessment instruments can be significant sources of valuable information for judicial consideration in deciding whether to suspend all or part of a sentence, how to design a probation program for the offender, whether to assign an offender to alternative treatment facilities or programs, and other such corollary sentencing matters. The Court also found that these instruments provide information based on extensive research and assist courts in crafting individualized sentencing schemes with a maximum potential for reformation consistent with Article I, Section 18 of the Indiana Constitution, which emphasizes the foundational importance of reformation as a goal of our penal code. The Court held that the risk assessment results are not intended to serve as aggravating or mitigating circumstances nor determine the gross length of a sentence, but can be used in formulating the manner in which a sentence is to be served. A new reporting feature within the INcite risk assessment application that gives a supervisor the ability to generate reports and export aggregate data to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet was an added bonus of the automation project. This feature enables program directors and administrators to evaluate aggregate data and assess the effectiveness of programs and appropriate allocation of department resources. By the end of 2010, over 575 certified users had completed 3,685 juvenile assessments and 237 adult assessments. By the end of 2010, over 575 certified users had completed 3,685 juvenile assessments and 237 adult assessments. 8 Indiana Courts in Brief | 2010 Indiana Judicial Service Report In addition, state funds pay for the salaries and benefits of judges and magistrates of the circuit, superior and probate courts, and special and senior judge expenses. State funds also help defray the cost of criminal indigent defense services through a voluntary reimbursement program, as well as most of the cost of providing Guardian ad Litem/Court Appointed Special Advocate (GAL/CASA) services for abused and neglected children. As a result of a specifically designated filing fee, the Supreme Court is able to provide to all trial courts extensive technology advancements, the most important of which is a state-of-the-art case management system capable of sharing court information with multiple federal, state, and county entities. In addition, the Supreme Court has several other more modest grant programs through which trial courts receive state funds for foreign language interpreter services, problem-solving courts, and other court reform projects. However, all major operating costs of the trial courts are borne by local taxpayers, be they county, city, town or township. I Fiscal Information ndiana's judicial system is funded by a combination of state, county, and local revenues. The Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and Tax Court are funded through appropriations from the state general fund.

Those fees are handled by an independently elected clerk of the circuit court or a city, town or township court clerk at the local level. During 2010, there were 50 different fees that could be assessed and charged by the clerk of court, depending on the type of case and court where the case is being tried. With the exception of basic court costs, which must be deposited in the general fund, the vast majority of the fees collected through the operation of the courts are designated for specific funds that must be used for specific purposes.

Today, Indiana has a Supreme Court with five justices, an intermediate appellate court with 15 judges, an appellate level special Tax Court with one judge, 315 trial courts, 83 city, town, and small claims courts, and 157 other judicial officers. In addition, the trial courts were served by 99 senior judges. T Caseflow 10 Indiana Courts in Brief | 2010 Indiana Judicial Service Report Caseload Information he Indiana Supreme Court has exclusive original jurisdiction over admission to the practice of law, unauthorized practice of law, discipline of lawyers and judges, issuance of writs necessary in aid of its jurisdiction, appeals from judgments imposing a sentence of death or life without parole, or a denial of post-conviction relief in which the sentence is death, and appealable cases where state or federal statues have been declared unconstitutional. The court may take up other appeals on petition, when the case involves significant questions of law, great public importance or an emergency. The Supreme Court has the power to review all questions of law and review and revise sentences imposed by lower courts. The justices of the Supreme Court are appointed by the Governor from a panel of three applicants nominated by a Judicial Nominating Commission, which is created by the Indiana Constitution. After an initial term of two years, a justice must run on a non-partisan "yes � no" retention ballot. If successful, the next term is 10 years.

These courts are called courts of record because appeals from them are taken directly to the appellate courts based on errors which must be supported by the record at trial. These courts are organized on county lines. With few exceptions, circuit and superior courts have concurrent, original jurisdiction of all cases. Indiana law also allows cities and towns to create city and town courts periodically. Those courts are also created one at a time and have very limited jurisdiction. In all but the most populous county, Marion, small claims cases are handled within a division of the circuit or superior court, or both. Marion County is the only county with separate small claims courts, based on township lines. In all but four of the counties, all judges are elected in partisan elections. In some larger counties, the judges of the courts of record are selected by several non-partisan methods ranging from merit selection to non-partisan election.

Probation officers work for the judges and are subject to the appointment and supervisory power of the courts that employ them. As with other trial court operations, local county revenues, derived primarily through property taxes, fund probation services but are also augmented by collection of probation user fees paid by probationers as part of their conditions of probation. Probation officers and staffs constitute the largest segment of trial court personnel expenditures.

Claude Julien would be all right with third line being all left
|09.13.13 at 6:39 pm ET
The biggest question for the Bruins entering training camp is what their third line will look like, but it figures to be three members of a pretty big group.
That group would consist of Chris Kelly, Carl Soderberg, Jordan Caron, Daniel Paille, Jared Knight, Ryan Spooner, Reilly Smith, Matt Fraser and Carter Camper.
Yet of those nine players, only two — Knight and Camper — are right shots.
All three of the Bruins' other three lines (assuming Paille stays with the Merlot Line) features a mix of shots, and the idea of having three lefties on one line might not be super appetizing.
Then again, some of the left-shooting wingers have experience playing right wing. Smith was a left-shot right wing in college and split last season between right and left wing, while Caron has played a decent amount of his off wing in the NHL. Julien said Friday that he would indeed consider having a line of three players of the same handedness.
"You work with what you got," Julien said. "It's not the end of the world and you have to make due with what you have and in way, what is the best scenario. I know Jordan's played a lot of the right side, he played that in Juniors, I know he's played that in Providence as well, we've used him there a few times, so it's not like Jordan's not capable of playing on the right side.
"Then there's Smith, another guy that we got from Dallas that is having a really good camp. And on the left side, Fraser is one of those guys that we can't over look either. And that's why I think down the road with some of those other guys from Providence, we're going to have some tough decisions to make."

Olympics 800m: Lynsey Sharp fails to qualify for final
Great Britain's Lynsey Sharp failed to qualify for the women's 800m Olympic final after a seventh-place finish in her semi-final.
European silver medallist Sharp ran 2:01.78 as defending champion Pamela Jelimo of Kenya won Thursday's first heat in 1:59.42.
South Africa's 2009 world champion Caster Semenya ran a season's best of 1:57.67 to win the second semi-final.
"That first round was something Lynsey was able to enjoy, but what I think she might be disappointed with is not being able to run her personal best."
Current world champion Mariya Savinova claimed the final heat in 1:58.57.
Semenya booked her place in Saturday's final as the fastest qualifier, just ahead of Russia's Elena Arzhakova [1:58.13] who finished second in the same heat.
But it was a disappointing end for Sharp, 22, who was chosen to represent Great Britain ahead of four other athletes who had run faster qualifying times.
"I got in a really bad position on the back straight and on the second lap it was just a wall in front of me," an emotional Sharp told BBC Sport. "It just wasn't a very clever race."
Meanwhile, USA recorded the fourth fastest time in history to qualify for Friday's women's 4x100m relay final.
The quartet of Tianna Madison, Jeneba Tarmoh, Bianca Knight and Lauryn Williams won their qualifying heat in 41.65 seconds, just 0.05 outside of the Olympic record set by East Germany in Moscow 1980.
Ukraine held off Jamaica, who were hampered by a messy final-leg handover, on the line to take the second heat in 42.36 seconds.

The Pant Nagar police on Wednesday arrested a postman for allegedly molesting a 34-year-old housewife in an elevator on Wednesday afternoon.
The incident took place when the victim and the accused were returning from the former's estranged in-laws place to collect her passport, which was mailed there by the post office.
The police arrested postman Pradeep Savlaram Manchekar (51) for the offense. According to the Pant Nagar police, the woman was staying separately from her husband and is fighting a divorce case. She had moved out of his home in Kukreja Palace in Ghatkopar (East).
An officer attached to the Pant Nagar police station said, "She had earlier applied for a passport while she was still living with her husband with the same address mentioned in the documentation." After leaving her husband's house owing to the domestic problem, her police verification and passport approval was completed and the passport was mailed to her in-law's address by the post office. She was not aware of her passport being delivered to her husband's address and went to the post office to inquire about it. When the postal department officials clarified that it had already been sent to the address mentioned by her in the application form.
The victim then headed to her in-laws' place along with Manchekar, a resident of Dombivli (West), and asked for the passport from her mother-in-law who refused to give it back. This led to an argument between the victim and her mother-in-law after which the woman left the scene and entered the lift with Manchekar.
Senior police inspector Suresh Nirmal said, "She claimed that Manchekar inappropriately touched her and continued doing so despite being asked to stop. She came to the police station and filed a complaint and then we registered an FIR under Section 354 (molestation) of the Indian Penal Code." There are no CCTV camera in the elevator, the police said.

Would Sales recommend a simpler theme for me where the access is more obvious for occasional users?
Alternatively do you have a regular user in Scotland or UK who could do the job for me for me?

what exactly do you mean? Once the theme is setup, there is not much to do anymore. WordPress (backend) will however have the same navigation and layout, regardless of the theme. Write Post looks the same in every theme, so does Category maintenance, Comments moderation etc.
If you have any questions related to the theme settings (these can all be found in wp-dashboard > My Theme, all other settings are core WordPress) we'll gladly reply and assist.
If this is about the site as it is online, from what I know, Essence is not more complicated than any other theme. But you can always browse around our theme portfolio, and open a demo to testdrive a theme, to see if look and feel fits you better,
I hope that clarifies,

Just a friendly greeting from your neighbor to the north and rabid Buckeye fan on our version of your 4th of July !! Go Canada and go Bucks !!!
Happy Canada Day !!!
Might just have to have a Molson in your honour, eh?
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
Quick story:
I lived in Toronto for 3 years. My first couple days of living there, I was out at a bar, and wanting to fit in, I made sure to order a Canadian beer.
"I'll have a Labatt's please."
Bartender - "AMERICAN!!"
The call it "Blue" up there, little did I know as I outed myself.
Likewise, if you want a Molson, don't order a Molson. Order a "Canadian".
When you're holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
I would out myself whether I knew that or not. It would be the first time I say "about" and not "aboot".
I saw a UFO once.......it told me to have a goodyear!
I would out myself whether I knew that or not. It would be the first time I say "about" and not "aboot".
I saw a UFO once.......it told me to have a goodyear!
I'll make a note of that, Baro, though it would've seemed a little weird if I had said I'd have a Canadian in Canukbuck's honor.
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
Noted, in case I ever go back to Canada again. Last time I went, I was 17. My dad drank Labatt's while on that trip...and I've never seen him drink it any other time.
I have...not bad beers. Molson Canadian is the only beer my wife will drink.
Class of 2010.
In honor of the World Cup, us Americans are declaring that this day is no longer Canada Day. It will now be American's Kickass in Soccer Day!
sorry for the inconvenience, but we did say "with all due respect".
I saw a UFO once.......it told me to have a goodyear!
And when we win the game, we'll buy a keg of boooooooooze!! And we'll drink to old Ohio 'till we wobble in our shoes.

Designers Maija Louekari's Lappuliisa fabric is cut and rolled into bolts. Follow us as we step inside Marimekko's printing factory for a look at how its iconic textiles come to life.
Photographer Alex Subrizi visited the Marimekko factory in Helsinki in early 2011 to photograph the textiles being made. "I could not have asked for gloomier conditions," he says, "so I was very grateful for the bright moods of my hosts and the brilliant color of their handicraft."
The magic starts in the artwork studio. Studio members, many of them trained as designers, interpret drawings from contributing designers and artists and convert them into patterns.
Studio member Eri Shimatsuka (left) and studio manager Petri Juslin (right) compare a first fabric proof to the artist's original drawing.
Juslin inspects a printout for a new printing screen.
Next, the screens are made, and the designer chooses the color tones. In a room next to the printing machines, a locker with narrow drawers holds numerous pieces of neatly stacked, colorful fabrics.
In the color-selection room, Taina Tiilikainen thumbs through swatches to help designers pick the perfect combinations
The recipe for each color is attached to its corresponding fabric swatch, and after the designer chooses the right combination, the recipes are sent to the color kitchen. Some colors, such as beige and gray tones, are more difficult to produce than others; turquoise is notorious for sticking poorly to fabrics. "We have our trade secrets that ensure that the colors work," says Anu-Mari Salmi, the production manager.
The color kitchen, where inks are made, is located in an open area as the inks are non-toxic and odorless.
The inks are stored in plastic wrap–covered buckets, which prevents a thick, top layer from forming. Each day, the color kitchen prepares hundreds of pounds of ink for the hues needed for the following day's printing. "Thanks to having our own facilities, we can react quickly to sales," Salmi says.
Next, the textile printing machine is readied. Here, Jan Möller takes a ready screen for the iconic Unikko fabric to be placed on the machine.
The Marimekko factory prints nearly 6,500 yards of fabric each day. The company typically purchases its material, usually cotton, in 2,200- to 5,500-yard rolls or pallets from Germany, Peru, Turkey, and the Baltic nations. Flat screen–printing makes it possible to divide repeats in sections and create large-size patterns, from 24 inches to several yards long.
Each color is printed through its own color-specific, stencil-like plate.
The printing machine moves fabric forward automatically, even though workers spread the inks across the plates by hand. No computers are needed to determine the right quantity.
The more complex the design and the more colors used, the more plates—and hands (up to four professionals at a time)—are required to run the 80-foot-long printer.
After printing, the fabric is transferred to the steaming machine, where steam heated to 219 degrees Fahrenheit fastens the color to the fabric, ensuring durability and brightness. Next, the textiles go through washing in 203-degree water to shrink them down to their final sizes. A finishing machine applies any additional treatments, like softener, to the washed fabric. Here, the colors of Katsuji Wakisaka's Green Green fabric are fastened to the cloth.
Next, Marimekko's quality inspectors, some who have worked at the company for more than 30 years, hand-inspect and grade the fabric. Theirs is a meticulous task: There can be only four small errors over 16 yards of fabric.
Here, another inspector checks a length of Pieni Unikko fabric.
If the fabric passes, it is cut and rolled into bolts, ready for displaying in stores or turning into garments, bags, cushions, tablecloths, and other Marimekko products.
Workers in the on-site sewing area prepare textiles to become linens, bags, and more.
These Global Hassocks by Marimekko designer Tuula Pöyhönen brighten a hallway of the Marimekko factory. Instructions on how to make these yourself can be found in Marimekko's new book Surrur, a project book featuring fabric crafts and ideas from seven Marimekko designers.
Finally, trucks are packed with yards of colorful fabrics. The trucks drive to shops and ports and eventually transport the textiles to customers around the world. Watch our slideshow of iconic and favorite Marimekko patterns.

Do You Teach Your Students About Having a Fixed Vs Growth Mindset?
In one of the courses that I am taking for my Master's of Education, I came across a topic that really struck a chord with me. I am taking two courses at the moment ( my March "Break" has been pivotal in maintaining my sanity with this 2 courses at once, business). In my Differentiated Instruction course, the idea of a "Fixed Mindset" versus a "Growth Mindset" came up. To put it simply, some people (kids included) believe that we are born with a certain amount of intelligence – it's "fixed". In comparison, hose with a "Growth Mindset" understand that putting in effort to learn new things expands our minds, and that effort is what makes us successful and "smarter".
I don't know about you, but I have certain students, who constantly question themselves and do not give their full effort! Like, ever! Oh wait, unless it's a really simple task. It is extremely frustrating, as the teacher, to sit back and see that if s/he just TRIED they would achieve the success that they wish for. What I have learned is that people with a "fixed mindset" see effort and "having to try" as threatening to their intelligence. This exertion of effort actually makes them feel stupid because they feel like they should already know the material. They think that others just "get it" while they do not. Kids with a "fixed mindset" don't realize that other students are actually working harder than they are (exerting effort to do well) and it is the effort of these other students that causes them to gain more academic success, not intelligence that they were born with.
I teach grade 7 and I think that junior high students could really benefit from being informed about "fixed" and "growth" mindsets. Recognizing the type of mindset that they have and looking at how they can make simple changes to actually "grow their brains" and make themselves smarter? I would have to think that idea would be appealing to kids!
I found an interactive quiz to share with your kiddos if this is something that you're interested in. Below the quiz are two videos – a Ted Talk by Carol Dweck who has researched this phenomenon, and a second video about how the brain works that would be suitable for middle school and up. I also found another quick video comparing "fixed" and "growth" mindset.
Carol Dweck's book is titled, "Mindset" if this is a topic that interests you.
I also dug around and found "Mindsets in the Classroom" which I am adding to my Amazon wishlist. It looks fantastic and very user-friendly!
I think that the main thing that I got from the articles that I have read for my MSED on mindset, is that kids need to know that they have the power to "make themselves smarter". Their effort is what matters – they haven't been born with a certain amount of intelligence. Exerting effort to learn something new makes the neurons in their brain fire and can actually cause their brain to grow (whereby making them smarter than if they hadn't exerted effort). Even sharing or reminding kids of that fact, and pulling the topic in when kids with "fixed mindsets" balk at challenges would be helpful with motivating and inspiring all kids to achieve.
I am excited to get back to class and share some of the things I have learned about mindset with my kiddos (the ones with clearly "fixed mindsets" especially). I would love to hear your opinions on this topic! Are you familiar with Dweck's work? I have spoken to my kids on the topic of effort, but never in the terms of mindset and intelligence and I can't wait to hear what they think!

Feeling the Love
As teachers, there are times that our jobs are stressful and we get to the end of the day and wonder if we actually taught anybody anything! Or, maybe that's just me!
Well this was the opposite of one of those weeks. This week I was feeling the love! I came back from Christmas vacation to find a little card in my school mailbox. When I opened it, I discovered that it was from a student I taught last year, and who I had for Math again this year. She moved a couple of months ago. I only wish there was a return address on the envelope! I'm going to have to track her down!
So sweet, brought a tear to my eye.
I mean, come on! How lucky am I to receive such a special card – this one filled my bucket for at least the next few months.
And then as I was just getting ready to head home today, I noticed this on the board. Now, they've written this on the board before, but they usually add, "And ——– is her favorite student!" This message was anonymous, and it topped up my bucket – I'm good until the end of June, now!
Just in case you haven't been told recently, YOU ARE AWESOME! Enjoy your weekend – I certainly have a little extra energy for the Master's work ahead of me!

Age of Opportunity: Lessons From The New Science of Adolescence
I'm well into my second course of my MSED! As I suspected, time is going faster than ever before. Report cards are almost ready to go home and parent-teacher interviews are on Thursday and Friday of this week. It's incredible that we've gotten to this point in the school year already.
I am enjoying my Master's program even more than I expected. However, it has been a huge adjustment – I feel like I don't have enough time to get everything done that needs to be done. Working full time, having 2 children, my MSED work, and maintaining some time for "fun" has been a balancing act. I'm trying to make it work, though.
I have been reading LOTS since I started this program in September. I am reading for my course work but I have also been reading beyond that as well. That is one thing that this Master's program has sparked in me, already. The more I learn, the more I want to learn. Even though I don't really have the time, I've been doing more professional reading over the last two months than ever in my career – by choice! I can't help it!
One book that I am currently reading is not for my course work for my own information – Age of Opportunity, by Laurence Steinberg. It basically challenges many myths that we currently hold about adolescence and offers insight into the science behind why adolescents act the way that they do. As a grade 7 and 8 teacher, so many times I have found myself thinking, "Why did he do that? Why would she take that risk? Didn't he consider what would happen based on that choice?" In his book, Steinberg offers new insight into the science of adolescence. But, the best part is that it doesn't read like a boring text book! Yes, it contains information on neuroscience but in a way that is very easy to understand and digest. He includes great, real life examples, scenarios, and ancedotes making it easy to relate to, as well.
My own boys are only 4 and 7, but the teen years will be here before I know it! Steinberg offers an entire chapter for parents and how they can help their adolescents most effectively. There are tons of ideas that I have to go back to when my own kiddos hit this period in their lives. What really hit home, though, was the recommendations for educators. Steinberg definitely has some interesting suggestions such as spending less money and time on classroom based health education as it seems to glean little in the way of results. He also suggests preparing adolescents for psychological demands of college, not just the academic ones.
Working toward my Master's has been a huge adjustment. I have less time for myself than ever before, I have huge commitments of course work – reading and writing. However, there's also so much considering and thinking that I have been doing. If I wasn't doing my Master's I probably would not have been considering my teenage learners and how their brains work, and I wouldn't have picked up Age of Opportunity. However, I am so glad that I am on this journey of life long learning. Yes, I know it sounds cheesy, but it's true! I've been reading lots of great books lately and this is just one of them. However, it's also the kind of book that I know I'll go back to in the future. If you own or teach adolescents, you should check into Age of Opportunity!
How to Come Up with a Winning Science Fair Project Idea ~ Guest Post
So your child is in middle school and is participating in the school science fair, and you're now trying to help come up with science fair project ideas. Irrespective of whether your child was forced to take part in the science fair or even if science is a much-disliked subject, you can turn the situation around with a winning science fair project idea. Here are six tips to share with your child to ensure (s)he enjoys working on the project, learns a lot in the process and maybe even ends up with a prize!
"Science Fair, 09" by Rich Bowen is licensed under CC BY 2.0
- Begin Early
The science fair is a long way away, and you figure you have more than enough time to come up with a good science fair project idea and see it through to the end. Great! That's no reason to put off starting on the project. You never know what complications may arise once you actually begin. Even the seemingly simple task of coming up with a good idea may take a lot more time than expected. The last thing you want is to find out that you have only one week left for the project, and an understandably limited choice of ideas to choose from. With more time in hand, you have the liberty of choosing a topic that truly interests you, spending enough time to do research and understand the topic in detail, and collecting the necessary information in a well thought-out and organized manner. And if you've got your eyes on the prize, each of these factors will help differentiate your project from the other good ones on display. Believe me, the judges can tell.
- Choose a topic that really interests you
The right way to go about finding a good science fair project idea is to begin with your interests. Don't read through a list of ideas and see whether any of them appeal to you. Rather, take some time to think about what kind of topics get you excited. It doesn't even have to have a direct link to science. What things make you sit up and pay attention? Sports? Cats? Building things with your own hands? Narrow your list down to a few of your favorite topics and spend some time thinking about them. Most probably you will have to do some additional reading on the topic to come up with a question that interests you. The Google Idea Springboard is a great tool to help you out in this area. You're likely to spend a few weeks if not months working on your project, so having a topic that you love will keep you interested till the end.
- Come up with a good question that you can work with
A good science fair project idea begins with a good question. How do you define a good question? Firstly, it should not be a question that has already been answered by someone else. If you design a science fair project around the question 'Which color light do plants grow best in?', it is unlikely that you or anyone else will learn anything new from it. The experimental procedure and results for such a project can easily be found on the internet. Even if you do decide to do a project based on a science fair project idea you found online, make sure to change the question and ask something new so that you are experimenting and doing research on a slightly different area. Secondly, the question should truly interest you. Don't adopt a question that someone else finds interesting or exciting. Use your 'favorite topics' list, spend time playing with different ideas in your head and only settle for a question that you would genuinely like to know the answer to. This interest will completely change the way you approach the project.

- Consider the experimental procedure involved
Remember, while trying to settle on your science fair project idea, you have to come up with a fool proof method for collecting data to answer your question. Consider the kind of time, energy and resources required to set up your experiment, and realistically evaluate whether it can be accomplished with what is available to you. Also check your experiment for any flaws. Is the data that you are collecting quantifiable? Is there any subjectivity involved? Have you considered and taken care of external factors that may affect your results? If you do not know the right answers to these questions, or how to design your experiment accordingly, you will need to spend some time understanding how to set up a scientific experiment.
- Feel free to change your question based on your background research
It is entirely possible that as you go about collecting the information you need for your project, you realize that your question isn't a very good one, or that you think of a better and more interesting one. Feel free to change your question according to your findings. This is where point #1 becomes even more important.
- Make sure you understand all the concepts involved
Don't worry about finding a topic that sounds highly complicated or scientific. In fact, the more simple your topic, the better you will be able to work with it. Nobody is expecting Ph.D. level research from you. More importantly, you will find the research and data collection far more difficult if you haven't fully understood the topic yourself. Feel free to ask for help from an adult or the internet in order to learn more about the topic, but when it comes to the project, do all the thinking and analysis yourself. This will help you immensely when it comes to answering the judges' questions about your project, and your in-depth understanding will show.
As long as you keep these tips in mind, you can be sure to come up with a science fair project idea that will win you over, impress your audience and maybe even tip the judges' scales in your favor.

I Found a Pen That's ACTUALLY Erasable, No Joke!
I LOVE cool school supplies! It is one of the ways that I know I'm meant to be a teacher – no one else really appreciates colorful tabs and post-its like we do.
Well, I have discovered my new favorite pens. Have you ever used those scratchy "erasable pens" that never really erased anything, but just tore up your paper and made a mess? These pens are NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING like those sub-par pens of years ago. Pilot FriXion Gel Pens are erasable pens that ACTUALLY erase. I know, mind….blown! I was skeptical before I tried them, but they really are fantastic! There is no "eraser" as such. When the erasing tip is rubbed against the page, it creates a little heat and the friction causes the thermo sensitive ink to disappear!
I often make mistakes when I'm quickly trying to correct or add comments to students' papers, and I detest having to scratch something out that I didn't mean to write. It just looks unprofessional – although I know that "everyone makes mistakes". This way, I can still mark in pen, but it's like my mistakes never happened!
These pens write smoothly, and are also re-fillable as well, which is a bonus!
Of course they come in lots of different colors which I take advantage of when I am correcting a students' piece of writing multiple times – I use different colors of ink, so that they know which comment is new. And now, I can go back and erase comments, if I need to, so that a more reluctant writer can incorporate my comments into the piece of writing, but still use the draft without my hen-scratches all over the page. My students enjoy using these awesome pens during free writes, especially and they have been a bit of a reward as well, since they know that they are "Mrs. Mills' special pens".
As if erasable pens that really erase wasn't enough…how about erasable highlighters? Yep! I found out that Pilot has those as well and they use the same "friction technology" to make the highlighting disappear! Now, would I give the highlighter to students and give the child free reign to highlight? Probably not. However, there are lots of applications for erasable highlighters – especially in middle school. For instance, I may have students work within a small group and each identify a certain phase in a novel by highlighting it for the purposes of a mini-lesson (and later erase the highlighting). Students could highlight key terms in a text book (and erase at the end of the chapter). Let's face it – anything that helps kids note-take is a keeper. Kids like to highlight, in general, but to have the option to erase what they highlight really opens the doors for more activities involving text books or novels that we can't have permanently marked.
Thank you Pilot for your innovation! Erasable Gel Pens and Highlighters! Who knew cool school supplies could make a teacher so happy?

|Modeling the influence of climate and management practices on water quality in Goodwater Creek experimental watershed
|Bockhold, Amanda Koelling
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The objective of this study was to determine relationships among weather, runoff, water quality, and best management practice (BMP) implementation in reducing atrazine losses in the 7,250-ha Goodwater Creek Experimental Watershed in NE Missouri's Audrain and Boone Counties. Data were collected from 1993 through 2003. Regressions were conducted among water quality indicators, climatic variables, and the change in area protected by BMPs. Results showed significant decreases in atrazine concentrations for June and the combined months of April, May, and June. Covariate analysis of the effect of BMP protected area on atrazine concentrations showed that the time period analyzed was important. Inputs were developed for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) program. The SWAT model was able to simulate decreased atrazine concentrations with 4.5% of the watershed protected by grassed waterways. Changes in the amount of land in conventional, conservation, and no-till tillage systems also affected the simulated atrazine concentrations.

Flickering on GeForce FX - NVIDIA needs your help

Chaintech 5900 affected! Cause found!
I just RMAed a Chaintech 5900 non-Ultra card because of the flickering problem. It was pretty severe, especially when 4X/8X seettings were on. Basically, the screen flickered as though it was 60Hz, but ONLY when I moved my mouse in 3D games! It didn't matter if the mouse was USB or PS2. I tried everything. Only thing that fixed it was to put in my old Geforce4 Ti200. I discovered the cause though. While fiddling, I accidentally misconnected the card's power at one point, the card came up saying the power was misconnected. It ran fine anyway, just slower. Well, the time the power wasn't coming into the card is when the flickering stopped completely! SO, it has something to do with the AUX power input of the card! I have a top of the line Enermax 350W power supply though, which I'm not about to change. This is terrible because I just returned a 9800 PRO ALSO because it kept crashing my old games! The only decent card it seems is my old Leadtek GF4 Ti200! Anyway, someone needs to tell Nvidia about this. I don't have their contact info so please pass this along. It's basically a card engineering bug! ATI has had similar bugs, they are no better. If someone can tell me a brand of 5900 card that does NOT have this problem at all, I'd be very happy! Thanks.

I'm assuming Barron Hilton hasn't used his one phone call yet because his entire family found out about his DUI through the press.
Paris was on her way to Vegas when she found out about her little bro's run in with the law. She said, "I am sad for my little brother. I hear he is doing OK. I am there for him and will be speaking to him in an hour or so, hopefully, to lend my support."
When she said "I am here for him" she actually meant 'He can leave me a voicemail while I party in Vegas.' Also, why is she acting like he's the victim? He was driving drunk! He could have hurt someone, you should beat his ass, not lend your support.
UPDATE:The Hilton family wanted to show some tough love so they refused to cough up the 20k to bail their son out of jail. His friends went to jail with only 2k expecting to get him out of the joint. When that didn't work, they found a bail bondsman to help them out with the rest of the money. He has since been released from jail.

It was quite difficult to find the B&B, which is placed at about 15 minutes by car from Kilkenny: not even the GPS could find it! As soon as we arrived, we noticed a cartel in the hall on which there was written "Our guests give us pleasure: some in coming, some in going". Maybe the owners wanted to be... More
