are learning in class on a daily or weekly basis. This approach avoids some of the conflicts between science in schools and out-of-school programs, while allowing out-of-school programs to support students' learning in schools. It also has logistical benefits, since it does not require the same level of planning and day-to-day communication between school teachers and out-of-school staff.
Finally, in some programs, out-of-school science is entirely disconnected from school science. Directors, coordinators, and staff of the programs make sure that participants are engaging in high-quality science experiences, but they do not consider it essential for students to connect out-of-school science to school science. In some cases, these programs may go so far as to argue that by keeping the two worlds separate, out-of-school programs can provide students with an alternate entry point into science if they have already been turned off from school science.
The Multicultural Education for Resource Issues Threatening Oceans (MERITO) Program in Monterey, California, illustrates a middle ground, where the out-of-school-time curriculum and activities are coordinated with classroom activities, but not necessarily in lockstep. The MERITO Program is a collaboration among the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS), local school districts, and other local stakeholders. Its purpose is to provide underrepresented students with hands-on field experiences and in-class activities to teach them about nature and to instill in them a desire to protect the habitat. The program has two goals: to reach the community's growing Latino population and to teach this population about the importance of protecting the area's pristine shorelines and marine life. It is funded in part by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's California Bay Watershed Education and Training Program. The next case study provides a look at this program.

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson needs 208 yards against the Green Bay Packers to break Eric Dickerson's NFL record of 2,105 yards. Packers players said they respect and admire Peterson, but don't want him to break the record against them. With one game left Peterson will have to run like he did Dec. 2 against the Packers at Lambeau Field, 210 rushing yards. "If anybody deserves to get the record, it's definitely AP. No doubt about it," said Packers cornerback Tramon Williams. "But unfortunately, they're playing us. We want to put our best foot forward. It's going to be a tough task. We know that already." "Oh man, he is a great running back. I can't think of anyone better," said Packers running back DuJuan Harris. "He's been working, he just got back from the injury and that's a great feat for him to accomplish - after that kind of injury." The Packers are playing for the NFC's No. 2 playoff seed and a first-round bye.  He's a great guy. I've gotten to know him outside of football," said Packers linebacker Clay Matthews. "You'd love to see a guy who has worked so hard and has overcome so much to win that crown - but ultimately that is against our defense. I don't think any of us want to see that happen. We'll do our best to try and contain him. He's a fantastic guy, he'll make his plays, but let's hope we don't give up 200 yards again to him."

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 7/18/12
Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Joey Porter told Ian Rapoport of NFL.com today that he intends on retiring this year as a member of the Steelers after 13 years in the league. "I plan on retiring this year," Porter told Rapoport today on the driving range before a practice round of the American Century Celebrity Golf Classic in South Lake Tahoe. "I already talked to the Steelers, put some plans together on signing with the Steelers and retiring as a Steeler. It was a good career. I have no regrets about nothing."

Remember Me
Seems like sometimes the hardest path is the one that will lead to salvation. And sometimes when that road is particularly rocky, the payoff will be far greater than you imagined. We all know planes, schedules, and traveling cross-country can be trying and when I tell you that my negligent and incompetent airline had me sprinting down Market Street in San Francisco, spinning through security, and sliding onto a plane that left a few hours earlier than planned, I had some stress in my bones. Bottom line was GET ME ON THAT BOAT. It wasn't until I finally hopped my ride to the dock and saw my people milling around on the sidewalk like we were at The Fillmore that I knew it was all gonna be OK.
Tuesday January 6th
At this point part of me was wishing I had a travel partner, a friend, someone to make sure I was doing this right. But it didn't take long for me to realize that in fact I did have a friend, about 900 of them. Eyes were warm and smiles abundant; I was sensing early on that this might turn out to be one hell of a party. The first couple of hours were a bit lackluster as we stood in line after line, but so it goes, certain aspects of travel are unavoidable, and getting on a cruise ship proves to be one of these rather time-consuming facts of life.
I dumped my bags in my little room and found myself getting lost on my way to the deck. I stumbled my way around the belly of the boat and eventually emerged with Florida sunshine in my eyes and a Maker's Mark in my hand. There was little time wasted as the wait staff was pushing doubles on us and before I knew it we were floating away from Ft. Lauderdale and heading to the wide-open Atlantic ocean.
Now one of the many nice things about being on a cruise is that there is a ton of food, and you've already paid for it. Besides alcohol, (which is obviously a rather large component) pretty much everything was already paid for. And between the breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack you could do your fair share of eating. But what I found odd was I often didn't have my raging appetite. The food was fine, actually not as good as I expected, but still better than most of my daily meals. I just didn't seem to feel like eating it all that often... sometimes eating and partying don't mix all that well.
There were two choices in eating venues, a sit-down restaurant-type setting where you could easily find yourself situated next to Stanton Moore, Karl Denson, or some really cool cat you happened to land near. And there was also the buffet up near the deck where more often than not DJ Medi4 would be spinning some rather tasty tracks during dinnertime.
Bouncing from Umphrey's in the Grand Ballroom and Keller Williams outside on the Main Stage, while getting excited for Jerry Joseph in the Mermaid Lounge, I was really beginning to get a grip on this whole boat thing. The ground was moving, my legs swaying, body dancing, and mind floating. Everything had a very surreal quality to it, and I kept meeting the nicest darn people.
I caught the majority of Umphrey's first set, which certainly piqued my interest for the following evening's highly coveted late night slot. In fact I was digging on Umphrey's enough to miss the majority of Keller's music. After what must have been a strong showing by Keller with reworked covers like "Scarlet Begonias," "Legalize It" and "Whole Lotta Love" mixed in with fan favorites "Blazebago," "Portapotty," and "Best Feeling," the K-Dub crew seemed very pleased.
It was during the insanely hot MOFRO set that followed my romp with Jerry where I began to realize that the line up on the cruise was actually a blessing in disguise for me. Now this is not to say there weren't many bands I was excited to check out again (all but one I had seen a few times) but to be blunt, I wasn't boiling over with excitement upon first glance. But as JJ Grey, front man for MOFRO, was delivering some dirty-ass, greasy blues I realized that having only one of my favorite bands (bands that I know I will be a few minutes early to, stay a few minutes after for, and plan my schedule around), I could stumble upon something as inspirational as MOFRO in the Grand Ballroom at 1:30 in the morning.
By the time I finally found my way back outside to the glorious ocean air The Disco Biscuits were well into their marathon late night gig and I had long missed Ming & FS. I had wanted to check out the New York DJ duo again, but let's be realistic: there was no way I was leaving MOFRO till JJ was done.
As The Biscuits pummeled their fans both faithful and casual, I recall "Crickets" and that set-ending "Run Like Hell" to be of particular note, not to mention the "Floodlights" > "Magellan Reprise" encore around sunrise that capped it all off. As my head was fading and my legs as well, I wandered off to bed with Bisco in my head, wondering what it was going to be like trying to sleep in a moving bed that was way too small for me.
Wednesday January 7th
As the waitress kept bringing cocktails and the sun began to walk down the backside of the sky I noticed we were clearly at sea. I recall sitting down for dinner and I do remember thinking that those internal batteries I had on autopilot seemed somewhat depleted, so next on the agenda was a quick nap.
While Particle was certainly proving to be enjoyable the knowledge that Galactic was surely well into their Main Stage set under the stars sent me sliding out the door and up the narrow stairs leading to the deck.
Without question one of the coolest aspects of the cruise was how easy everything was. You never had to worry about how you would get anywhere, or how far you'd have to walk. It was a festival at sea and all three stages were strolling distance. It was nice to be able to walk by Billy (Nershi) and Liza (Oxnard), who happened to be playing with another woman I had never seen, but it was also nice to be able to walk the twenty feet back to Galactic.
Towards the end of Galactic's getdown boat party their newest addition, female vocalist Teedy Boutte, stepped up for a raucous delivery of the reggae classic "You Don't Love Me, No No No." That is one of my favorite tracks, and it's been sampled heavily by many a band and a ton of DJs. Galactic and Teedy did it justice, putting some serious icing on the cake.
As Galactic broke down and Umphrey's McGee set up Z-Trip continued to drop the beats and move them feets. Saul Williams' "Not In Our Name" and The Police classic "Walking In Your Footsteps" received particularly nice treatment as the boat pushed on, along with the night.
Again I found myself headed to a featured show of the evening and it not being a band that is on my "must see" list. And again I found this to be a very favorable stance. I was able to hang back without the pressure of certain songs or a level I felt needed to be reached. Instead I was enjoying simply being on a boat, all the new friends, the easy access to plenty of whiskey, very kind neighbors, and the most outrageous setting imaginable. Much in the way The Disco Biscuits really impressed me, UM delivered the most enjoyable moments I've ever spent with them (which admittedly has only been a handful of shows). Now mind you it wasn't that the music between the Biscuits and Umphrey's was all that similar, but there is a certain personal parallel I see between two established bands that clearly have their own "thing," and bands that I have enjoyed yet rarely if ever completely "gone there" with. Perhaps it was the boat, perhaps it was me, or maybe these really were incredibly strong shows by both these bands, regardless of the reason I really enjoyed what went down.
The first set showcased predominantly original songs from the band but came equipped with a few nice "Hot For Teacher" and "Amazing Grace" teases worked in. About halfway through the first set a nice addition of Chris Littlefield (Karl Denson's Tiny Universe) on trumpet helped raise the ante on "Big Heart" and pushed the sound into some dissonant areas before guitarist Jake Cinninger took a few serious solos and even a beat box outro. Before long Rob Wasserman found his way to the stage during "Soul Food," creating a double bass bash with Ryan Stasik which led to a set-ending "Song Remains The Same."
Before it was all said and done Steve Molitz would also make a cameo and the sun would rise behind the band as they finished off a hell of a night with a hell of a cover. Quickly becoming known (at least partially) for their cover work, guitarist Brendan Bayliss proclaimed that they wouldn't normally do this as the band slipped into a fine rendition of the Outkast hit "Roses." The sun was up, the band was hot, and I went to bed singing, "I know you'd like to think yo' shit don't stank/But lean a lil bit closer see/Roses really smell like poo poo poo/Yeah, roses really smell like poo poo poo.
Thursday January 8th
This was to be our only real full day at sea. Cruising the ocean, no land in sight, no lights, no escape! I've spent some time on boats, done some fishing, my family even owned a little Boston Whaler when I used to kick around the Northeast, but I've never engaged in 24-plus-hours without land in sight. Over the course of the four days I spent a great deal of time just staring out at the ocean... thinking, dreaming, contemplating. And when there is no land in sight, not a speck of recognition, and you realize you are truly a needle in the haystack, the mind begins to take on a new angle. When the water is all you feel and all you see, and sleep has dwindled while the party has festered, again, the mind begins to do things it normally does not.
Who's to say if what I really did was sleep after Umphrey's late night? I know I closed my eyes and I'm sure rest came in some form, but before I could get the dreams of ocean waves and Outkast songs to take form I was aware that music was no doubt being played. I had planned to check out Tishamingo, who took the Main Stage at an early 11 a.m., but considering I didn't even hit the pillow till well after 7 a.m. it was simply not to be. Now I'm not one to use alarm clocks (and with far too many "boat announcements" being funneled into ever nook of the Regal Empress who would really need one); I tend to let my body do what needs to be done, so around noon the internal buzz shook me from the dark. I had glanced at my schedule before closing my eyes, and yes Tishamingo was desired, but MOFRO next to the pool had become a necessity.
Seeing that the day had already broke noon I slipped on my flip-flops and made for the deck. Not minutes after grabbing some fruit and ice water MOFRO had begun their set. Spying a prime spot at a table to the side of the stage I sat my tired ass down in the shade. Now I'm sure the sustenance I gathered from the breakfast bar was helping, but I'll be damned if it wasn't the preaching and playing of MOFRO that raised my spirits. Sitting there listening to the title track off the band's only release, 2001's Blackwater, I was overcome with a certain feeling you can only really get from the more profound bands you witness. JJ singing:
I got some more food as DJ Medi4 bumped the smooth dub and Karl and crew set up. This would be our first taste of the entire Tiny Universe, and quite a nice way to spend a few hours under the sun.
The party was in full swing and the rock 'n' roll faithful were ready for Jerry. Wasting absolutely no time with a "Brother Michael" opener, it seemed that Jerry was determined to open this thing up far wider than his first boat show. It was nice to see some much-deserved respect being paid to Jerry as most of musicians on the boat had made their way to the Mermaid Lounge. With Nershi and Wasserman on stage Jerry led the trio through the gut wrenching "Brother Michael" and into a blistering "Drive" that twisted around "Whole Lotta Love" before bubbling back into "Drive," and a sweaty bar was witnessing Jerry in his element. There are times when Jerry simply taps into it. He is always good, but sometimes it's just something else. He channels some dark energy and conjures up spirits as he looks through the crowd eyes burying deep and blazing through bodies. And tonight, Jerry had it.
Toward the beginning of Jerry's second set he explained how his daughter sang "Two Balloons" in grade school during show and tell... he then went onto explain the phone calls he soon received from concerned parents. You see, "Two Balloons" isn't about a party by the pool. No, the "balloons" we are speaking of are found underneath someone's tongue and their contents end up in another man's arm. It is never a clean or bright walk with Jerry, but you remember when we spoke about the path to salvation, and how it is often paved with pain and struggle... Jerry has walked through the valley and he comes baring some of the most righteous and real rock 'n' roll around.
This impressive final set with Jerry would display his raw talent and again leave me asking why more people don't flock to see him. A destructive "Savage Garden," Jerry's underrated Eastern guitar scales, and "Tarantula Hawk" had the bar getting dirty, but it was without question the encore that blew things open. With no one scheduled in the Mermaid Lounge after Jerry, his show was long... real long and real nasty. When the set wound its way towards encore time the Widespread Panic staple "Climb To Safety" came up from beneath. Panic obviously kills this Jerry original, and musically opens it up and turns it out. But what Jerry does with the vocals and the emotions is what makes John Bell call him "The Reverend Jerry Joseph." By the time Jerry was done with Jam Cruise I wasn't quite sure what time it was, which way the boat was going, or where we really were. But then again, that was half the fun.
With no plans and not a clue what to do in Key West I had the good fortune of getting to know a great crew with a few people that had lived in Key West. Tagging along I was treated to stone crabs, conch fritters, and plenty of libations. Strolling through the town and laughing through several conversations, me and mine eventually found our way back to the Empress. A bit beat up and in need of a bed I made for the mattress rather quickly knowing I would need at least a few hours to get through the final fandango.
Friday January 9
And get through it I did. I was a wee bit concerned when I woke up bit later. I wasn't sensing the necessary spark for the final party. But rest assured, where there's a will there's a way, and with a bit of hard work and determination it wasn't long till it was a full-bore dance party.
With the ball rolling and long over my lack of sleep, I was sort of stuck in ON mode. I've often found that in multi-day parties, festivals, or show runs that it's either "ON" or it's "OFF." And often once I make the switch I can't exactly change it up. The remainder of that final night on the boat was some of the more enjoyable and exhausting dancing I've done in quite some time. I was not only impressed with my own ability to get my party shoes back on, but also with the resiliency of the collective boat. I saw some serious moving, shaking, and partying going on.
Still pushing that funky jazz, Galactic certainly adds a bit more angles to their approach. Moving from a few soul numbers and some deep grooves, there was a serious party unfolding. By the time Z-Trip was adding "Love Boat" samples, the wait staff had even begun to let it hang out and the entire evening became a wash of sound, color, and sweat. I was sliding over the pool deck (and damn near fell in the pool), dancing up the stairs over the upper deck and down the other side. Shifting through the crowd and moving past the bar I was overwhelmed with the amount of fun I was having. I again lost track of time and senses--the boat was approaching Ft. Lauderdale and by the time I stopped moving the sky was beginning to show signs of Saturday.
With the dual knowledge that tomorrow would bring ample sleep in a big bed and that I would likely not be on a cruise ship in the near future, witnessing the sunrise out of the sea was an easy decision. With prime people watching and the engaging conversation of another new friend, we watched the sea turn from a dark blue to a lighter blue, to a green to an almost iridescent shade of crystal. We pulled into port and were forced to begin picking up the pieces. The party was drifting, as was my mind. Gathering the odds and ends wasn't exactly what any of us wanted to do, but I quickly began to slip into reflection mode and put the body back on autopilot and coasted through Customs, softly landing back where I had begun... milling around on a side walk near a big boat.
As the necessary parts began to fall in place I was somewhat shocked at how much fun I just had. Not one of my fears even showed its head. I experienced absolutely no problems and in fact had even more fun than I expected (and I do tend to expect a good time). And again, much like Bonnaroo in a way, I was beyond impressed with how well the whole thing was run. From Josh Moore at Jomo Entertainment, Brown Coffee Productions, Cloud 9 Adventures, to the entire staff and quality of overall execution, I was pleasantly shocked. And while all of the planning, scheduling, and logistics were amazing, the single best part may have been the quality of people on board. It was almost all professionals. I crossed paths with some amazing people, from the bands to fans and more. And just as Jazz Fest, Bonnaroo, and High Sierra have become events I plan my days around, it looks like I have one more raging music party to prepare for.

Bankers warm up for season of the spin-off
While spin-offs might sound like a piece of skill best left for the soccer pitch, the name given to the business tool that parcels up part of a large business and gives it away to shareholders has received underwhelming support in the sport's homeland in Europe. That could be about to change.

If you weren't aware of the widespread problems with the New York Times reporting during the run-up to the Iraq War more than a decade ago, this lede from today's page-one Times story about political developments inside that besieged country might not seem unusual:
He took millions of dollars from the C.I.A., founded and was accused of defrauding the second-biggest bank in Jordan and sold the Bush administration a bill of goods on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
At first championed by the Bush administration's neoconservatives as a potential leader of Iraq, Ahmad Chalabi ended up persona non grata, effectively barred from the wartime American Embassy here. Now, in an improbable twist of fate, Mr. Chalabi is being talked about as a serious candidate for prime minister. He has also been back to the embassy.
If you are aware, the gaping holes in the above description are profound.
Here's what the Times left out of its Chalabi story today and here's what the newspaper continues to grapple with eleven years after President Bush ordered the costly invasion of Iraq: Chalabi was reportedly the main source of bogus information that former Times reporter Judith Miller used in her thoroughly discredited work about Iraq's supposedly brimming stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. It was Chalabi who wove Saddam Hussein fiction and it was Miller, then a widely respected Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who gave it the Times stamp approval as the paper did its part to lead the nation to war. (Miller is now a Fox News contributor.)
That history is one that the paper continues to wrestle with, especially as the effects of the war return to international focus and the country struggles with internal violence that threatens its very stability.

Though Fox News was effusive in its praise of new hire Howard Kurtz, several of the network's hosts and contributors have harshly criticized Kurtz in the past, labeling him "full of crap," "a walking conflict of interest," and someone who does "the bidding of Media Matters."
In a June 20 press release, Fox announced that beginning July 1, Kurtz "will anchor a version of what is now called Fox News Watch, which focuses on the media, with a new format during the weekends," while also serving as an on-air analyst and writer for FoxNews.com. His switch to Fox will mark the end of his tenure at CNN's Reliable Sources, a weekly media criticism show that he has hosted for the past 15 years.
Fox News contributor Judith Miller wrote a highly speculative Wall Street Journal op-ed that claimed New York City police surveillance practices "may well have... prevented" the Boston bombing, ignoring that the constitutionality of these programs is currently being challenged in court and their efficacy is questioned.
In the April 24 op-ed, Miller lauded the New York Police Department (NYPD) for its blanket surveillance of American Muslim communities, which has extended beyond the jurisdiction of New York City. According to Miller, this extensive spying program "is a model of how to identify and stop killers like the Tsarnaev brothers before they strike" and should be emulated by other cities. From the WSJ:
[T]he city has developed a counterterror program that is a model of how to identify and stop killers like the Tsarnaev brothers before they strike. The 1,000 cops and analysts who work in the NYPD's intelligence and counterterrorism divisions, for instance, would likely have flagged Tamerlan Tsarnaev for surveillance, given Police Commissioner Ray Kelly's insistence on aggressively monitoring groups and individuals suspected of radicalization.
The NYPD maintains close ties to Muslim preachers and community leaders, as well as a network of tipsters and undercover operatives.
Once the department had Tamerlan under surveillance, the NYPD's cyberunit might have detected his suspicious online viewing choices and social-media postings. Other detectives might have picked up his purchase of a weapon, gunpowder and even a pressure cooker--an item featured in an article, "How to Build a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom," in the online al Qaeda magazine Inspire.
Even if the NYPD hadn't been watching Tamerlan, it might have been tipped off to such suspicious purchases thanks to its Nexus program. Since the program's launch in 2002, the department has visited more than 40,000 businesses in the metropolitan area, encouraging business owners and managers to report suspicious purchases or other activities potentially related to terrorism.
Today, Fox News' America's Newsroom hosted a segment highlighting Rush Limbaugh's latest attack on Sandra Fluke. The theory behind the attack was so hard to believe that two of the three panelists, including a former spokeswoman for the House Republican Conference, called it "ridiculous" and "utterly absurd."
On Tuesday's edition of his radio show, Limbaugh returned to attacking Fluke, the Georgetown law student whom he infamously described as a "slut" and "prostitute," this time for supposedly "coordinating" with President Obama to scare students about their student loans.
Fluke responded to Limbaugh's attack later that night on MSNBC's The Last Word, pointing out the importance of affordable student loans and contradicting the notion that she is coordinating with Obama on the issue of student loans.
During a panel discussion of Limbaugh's attack on America's Newsroom today, panelists Gretchen Hamel and Judy Miller agreed that Limbaugh's theory that Fluke and Obama are coordinating is completely bogus. Hamel, a former spokeswoman for the House Republican Conference, said that Fluke's tweet "was a message being tweeted out by a number of people." Hamel also said: "I think this is just a coincidence. It's the White House having a simple message that is resonating." Miller, a Fox News contributor, called Limbaugh's theory "ridiculous" and said that "all it does is call attention to his previous faux pas."
From the November 19 edition of Fox News' Fox News Watch:

Judith Miller's criticism of a Poynter Institute online course on Islamic issue reporting, which she claimed urged "political correctness," drew a harsh rebuttal from the journalism training outlet.
Kelly McBride, a Poynter senior faculty member, told Media Matters: "I think she's crazy. The course urges journalists to be smart, accurate and contextual when it comes to reporting on Islam in America. It suggests that when you are reporting about deaths caused by Islamic terrorists that you not descend into fear mongering and instead put the threat of terrorism in proper context.
"It is a sound, solid journalistic course, it's based on the values of accuracy and fairness and context and independence in minimizing harm."
At issue is an online column Miller posted at Fox News' website Friday about the free Poynter online course: Covering Islam in America.
Poynter's News University presents the course in conjunction with Washington State University and the Social Science Research Council.
Miller wrote that she took the course and objected to its suggestion that Islamic terrorism might be getting disproportionate coverage in relation to other deadly issues such as AIDS or world hunger:
The professors offer these helpful comparative death tolls to give the 9/11 death toll "some context," they say.
But the implicit message of the course seems obvious enough: 3,000 dead Americans, (and they might have looked up the actual death toll) have been over-covered. Why don't journalists spend more time covering malaria, or hunger, or especially HIV/AIDS, which the last time I checked, was hardly being ignored by the nation's media?
For that matter, why aren't the media investigating bathtub deaths, since according to "Overblown," John Mueller's attack on what he regards as the government's obsessive focus on terrorism, more Americans die in bathtub accidents each year than in terrorist attacks?
The answer should be fairly obvious to such an august institution as Poynter: just as the press covers murders rather than traffic fatalities, which far outnumber killings in America each year, it covers terrorism intensively because motive matters.
Right-wing media have continued their long history of attacking President Obama's speeches by scrambling to criticize his September 8 address in which he proposed the American Jobs Act.

I have two models, called Book and Tag, which are in a HABTM relationship. I want a couple (book, tag) to be saved only once. In my models I have
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Tag' => array(
'className' => 'Tag',
'joinTable' => 'books_tags',
'foreignKey' => 'book_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'tag_id',
'unique' => true
and viceversa, but the Unique flag does not help me; I can still save two times the same couple.
How do I do this in CakePHP? Should I declare the couple (book, tag) unique in the database directly, or will this make CakePHP go nuts? Is there a Cakey way to handle this situation?
EDIT: I tried making the couple unique with the query (I'm using MySQL)
ALTER TABLE books_tags ADD UNIQUE (book_id,tag_id);
but this does not work well. When I save more than one tag at a time, everything goes well if all the couples are new. If at least one of the couples is repeated, CakePHP fails to do the whole operation, so it does not save ANY new couple (not even the good ones).

Office of the County Manager
Office of the County Manager
On July 12, 2011, Bexar County Commissioners Court established the Office of the County Manager in an effort to develop a more effective and cost-efficient re-organization of the functions, offices and departments that report to Commissioners Court. I am honored to serve the Bexar County community in the role as County Manager.
I am mindful of the need to address demands for new and better services for our growing population. With the support of Commissioners Court, I would like to share a number of important priorities for the new year, and some of the steps I am taking and expect to take to move these initiatives forward:
- SERVICES TO THE UNINCORPORATED AREA: In spite of limited revenue growth, the population of the County is projected to continue to grow. Working with County offices and departments, I already have staff identifying the demand for new services that this population growth will create. Over the next year, we will identify all legal tools and practical options available to provide more "city-like" services to these areas.
- CULTURAL AND HISTORIC COUNTY ASSETS PROGRAM: Bexar County is blessed to have a number of County-owned historic and cultural assets. One of the most obvious of these assets is our historic Courthouse. In order to insure that we identify, preserve, highlight, and where appropriate augment these treasures, we have established a Cultural and Historic County Asset program. This program is charged with bringing greater public awareness to these County assets.
- BEXAR COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH CONSORTIUM: In 2008, Commissioners Court took the extraordinary action of allocating general fund money for the institution of a Mental Health Court and for the enhanced provision of services by the Center for Health Care Services. This effort will remain a high priority of the County Manager's office and we will provide assistance and support to the MHC.
- COORDINATION OF ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION: Bexar County has made great strides over the past few years in initiating programs to reduce the number of individuals incarcerated in our adult detention center, as well as identifying ways to reduce their length of stay, all while preserving public safety.
- TRANSPORTATION: Bexar County Commissioners Court has historically taken a leadership role in identifying and solving important transportation issues in the County. Recently, the Alamo Regional Mobility, the Texas Department of Transportation, and Bexar County have worked together to develop the "825 Plan", a comprehensive funding approach for the development of several transportation projects in the region, including the 281 Project, IHl 0 Project and Loop 1604 Project. The goal of the partnership is to address much needed congestion relief in several highly traveled corridors including IH-10, Loop 1604, and US 281.
My office will continue our diligent, proactive efforts to ensure the Bexar County community remains an exceptional place to live and a desired place to visit.
Thank you,
Bexar County Manager
Paul Elizondo Tower

deal more now about disease processes because of recent research based in epidemiology, toxicology, and genetics. This report proposes a framework for presumptive disability decision making that would employ our best scientific understanding while protecting the interests of veterans and other stakeholders by including them in the decision-making process. It provides findings from a committee convened to assess the current approach of the presumptive disability decision-making process for veterans and to provide a framework for a future approach. The committee was appointed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies at the request of a special congressional commission (see below).
The Veterans' Disability Benefits Commission (Commission) was created by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-136. 108th Cong., 1st Sess.). The Commission is charged with "studying the benefits provided to compensate and assist veterans for disabilities attributable to military service. The Commission was mandated to consult with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Sciences with respect to the medical aspects of contemporary disability compensation policies" (VDBC, 2006, p. 1; as found in Appendix A). The Commission was asked to evaluate and assess the following:
The appropriateness of benefits
The appropriateness of the level of those benefits
The appropriate standard(s) for determining whether the disability should be compensated (VDBC, 2006, p. 1; as found in Appendix A)
To meet its goals, "the Commission produced a list of 31 research questions to be answered during its investigation" (VDBC, 2006, p. 1; as found in Appendix A). The Commission requested two studies from IOM. This report will address the issue of presumptions. Another committee, the Committee on Medical Evaluation of Veterans for Disability Compensation, issued a report entitled A 21st Century System for Evaluating Veterans for Disability Benefits, in June 2007. That report made recommendations to the Commission on how several components of VA's medical evaluation and disability rating process for veterans could be updated and improved.
The independent Commission "consists of 13 members who were appointed by the President and the leaders of Congress" (VDBC, 2006, p. 1; as found in Appendix A) and is funded by VA. Twelve of the commissioners have served in the military. Nine members have combat experience. "The Commission is charged to submit its report by October 1, 2007, to

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) August 13, 2014
The Institute of Financial Operations is preparing for CDN360, its first conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, showing its commitment to expanding educational offerings into new parts of Canada.
A nonprofit membership association, the IFO serves as the premier source of education, certification, and networking for professionals in accounts payable, accounts receivable, and the related fields of information management and data capture. The organization has held a conference in Toronto, Ontario, for the previous three years titled the Canadian Financial Operations Symposium.
"It was time for us to expand to the West Coast to reach more of our constituents," said Ken Brown, interim executive director of the IFO. "CDN360 is the perfect way for those who couldn't get to our annual international conference in Dallas, Texas, in May to still receive in-person educational benefits."
CDN360 2014 takes place Sept. 14-16 at the Marriott Pinnacle Downtown. Among highlights of the announced schedule:
"We've found the right blend of thought leadership, modern best practices, and networking opportunities to make this conference an excellent way to learn in a relaxing setting," said Fidel Coutou, an IFO members who serves as chair of CDN360 2014. "We look forward to meeting more financial operations professionals in Vancouver and the surrounding areas."
Registration for the conference is available on the IFO website at http://www.financialops.org/conferences. For information, contact The Institute at 407-351-3322 or info(at)financialops(dot)org.
About The Institute of Financial Operations
The Institute of Financial Operations is a membership-based professional association serving the entire financial operations ecosystem, with a particular focus on the accounts payable and accounts receivable disciplines and the related fields of information management and data capture. The Institute grew out of the merger of four associations: International Accounts Payable Professionals (IAPP), International Accounts Receivable Professionals (IARP), the National Association of Purchasing and Payables (NAPP), and The Association for Work Process Improvement (TAWPI).
Based in Orlando, Fla., with affiliates in the U.S., Canada, and the UK, The Institute serves as a global voice, chief advocate, recognized authority, acknowledged leader, and principal educator for people in financial operations. The Institute has a community of nearly 70,000, which includes 9,000 members and customers, and an additional 61,000 financial operations professionals.
The Institute's members have access to benefits and leading edge resources such as the award-winning Financial Ops magazine, a dynamic content-rich website, educational and networking events, online educational offerings, certification and certificate programs, career resources, and volunteer opportunities.

Pre-race veterinary checks are completed for the roughly 1,000 dogs set to run the Iditarod.
By Wednesday, vets had completed electrocardiograms to check the dogs' hearts and blood tests to look for illness or illegal treatments, like drugs or blood doping.
Some mushers had their own veterinarians perform the final required examination, a hands-on check of up to 20 dogs per team. Others used Iditarod's free vet service offered Wednesday at Iditarod headquarters in Wasilla, where dog trucks came and went through the day as dogs were shuttled to the vets, then back to the trucks.
Race veterinarian Stuart Nelson said about 40 of the 69 teams in the race used the Iditarod's veterinarians.
"I was happy with what we saw out there," Nelson said. "This is a very significant point in the race, because all the pre-race screening has been completed, and we're just about ready to roll."
Only one dog was rejected, because it was too skinny, Nelson said.
"That was part of the issue, but it was probably the manifestation of some underlying condition we haven't identified," he said.
Nelson declined to name the dog's owner.
Musher Jason Mackey said his dogs' checkups went well and that his whole team is healthy.
"You never know. Lots of volunteer vets ... see sled dogs for the first time here and have lots of questions," Mackey said. "But it was flawless."
Mushers can run a maximum of 16 dogs in the race to Nome.
-- Casey Grove
Dorado's legacy
Last year's death of a dropped dog in Unalakleet has prompted the race to establish more stringent checks, tracking and care of dropped dogs.
A volunteer in the dropped dog lot found 5-year-old Dorado, one of Fairbanks musher Paige Drobny's dogs, dead in the coastal checkpoint. Snow had drifted over Dorado and nine other dogs, something sled dogs are used to, but Dorado asphyxiated, race officials said.
It was the first dog death in the race since 2009.
Officials said a storm that prevented planes from reaching Unalakleet caused more dropped dogs than usual to stay in the village at the time Dorado was there.
This year there will be requirements to check on the dropped dogs at specific times and log those checks, race marshal Mark Nordman said Wednesday.
"It's something a little more upgraded," Nordman said.
There are also more dog houses in Unalakleet and McGrath, so more of the dropped dogs can take shelter, Nordman said. And, weather dependent, race officials hope to have more flights to move dogs out faster, he said.
In severe weather, volunteers will check on dropped dogs at least every two hours, if not more often, said Nelson, the race veterinarian.
"We're going to try to up the ante this year," Nelson said.

King debuts helmet
Dog mushers tend to travel with as little extra weight and gear as possible, particularly when they're racing for big jackpots and lucrative sponsorship opportunities. But when legendary Denali Park musher Jeff King announces new race gear, people take notice.
King announced Tuesday via Facebook that he will be donning a protective helmet this year as he makes his way through the notorious Dalzell Gorge between the Rainy Pass and Rohn checkpoints.
Why head gear?
Look no further than the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race from Fairbanks to Whitehorse, Yukon, which recently wrapped up. Eureka musher Brent Sass was jockeying for the lead in the 1,000-mile distance race when he fell off his sled and suffered a race-ending head injury.
Within days Sass had announced he'd wear a helmet in the Iditarod. And within days of that, he withdrew from this year's race.
King is a perennial contender with four wins under his fur hat. Or helmeted fur hat. By Tuesday afternoon a few other mushers had commented on King's Facebook timeline that they too might consider wearing protective gear.
Trail conditions may be a factor in this year's race from Willow to Nome, with little snow and lots of ice expected along the Southcentral portion of the trail route into the Alaska Range.

I went to the Winter Meetings Trade Show and it was OK
Dec 4, 2012, 6:10 PM EDT
On an afternoon where the rumors are weak and the deals close to non-existent, I felt that a trip to the Winter Meetings Trade show was in order.
For those unaware, the Trade Show is where some 300 exhibitors hawk wares ranging from caps, blankets, foam fingers, shot glasses, sports insurance, stadium architecture, concessions, bats, stadium seats, uniforms, mascot costumes — Utility Man — and any number of other odd things. It's geared more towards the minor leagues than the majors, so if you see fun things at you small town ballpark this summer, someone probably got the idea for it at the Trade Show.
I walked around and took in the sights. Among them:
You like? I kinda like. The guy at the booth told me they sell them to teams for, like, $5 and they sell at the ballpark for $14.99. Just so you know.
I like a racing 1983 Harold Baines costume, I just don't know where I'd wear it.
Wow. I thought I dreamed the ostrich thing for the Reading Phillies — er, the Reading Fightins. Guess not!
Find the real people in this picture. Yep, it's the taco and the mustard!
This is the sexiest thing of the Winter Meetings so far.
I'd like a Fergie Jenkins for my minor league park, but I already have a Mickey Lolich and a Robin Roberts and at some point I feel like I'm just buying too much.
But really, if anyone wants to buy me this, I'll take it. And I've never even been to Eugene.
