Since 1980 I have told and taught in conferences, schools, libraries, and museums from Aurora, NY, to Austin, TX, to Anaheim, CA. You can read my story in Storytelling Professionally and in More Ready-to-Tell Tales from Around the World.
I have been described as "a one-woman show with a cast of thousands." I perform holiday stories, fairy tales, and international folktales for children and families in all kinds of places. I start with stickers, string figures, puppets, riddles, and knock-knocks to engage the kids. Then, together the audience and I tell the story. Go to my website for more information.
"Harlynne Geisler has a pixie-like look as she stands before an audience of adults and children. She seems almost to draw the stories from the air around her as her hands reach and gesture.
Her eyes gleam with intrigue and delight at the tales she is spinning before her audience. Without props, she creates an imaginary world, telling the story and becoming the characters.
Her eyes and expressive hands move from this imaginary world to the audience, weaving the two together. Small in stature but forceful, Geisler uses whatever dialect is necessary.
Her facial expressions and her gestures are finely wrought in excitement, confusion, passion, joy or frightwhatever emotion is called for by the story or the character."
"...she has entertained children with her stories in libraries and throughout the city school system; she is a consultant to the city schools' Gifted and Talented Education program.
"Recently," she adds, "a young man was sitting in the front row at a storytelling session. His face was shining. It was as if that was his story. It was so real to him. I wanted to shake his hand and say, 'Thank you. That is why I tell stories.'"
"And she told happily ever after."

All of the students loved the presentation! By all, I mean my English proficient kids, my English Language Learners, and my Special Education kids. All were thoroughly engaged. One of our teachers even read the "Two Bears" version of the story to her team time group after the assembly...they were able to compare and contrast the two folktales...which is a standard right in the new second grade Common Core! Thank you!
A. Elementary school assemblies
Private parties for children, families, or adults
Library shows
Festival performances
Workshops for parents, grandparents, museum docents, clowns, etc.
A. Be straightforward about exactly how much money you have to hire a performer. I can't read your mind, and I'd rather work within your budget.
A. Storytelling goes better for children who are older than 3. In fact, it is a wonderful show for older children, even teens, as well as adults.
A. Do you trust the experienced professional to pick the stories for the venue, event, and age groups, or do you have something specific in mind?
A. My stories always suit the occasion. I always show up at least 45-60 minutes early. (I have heard of other performers who breeze in at the last moment.) I often bring decorations, sometimes a few and sometimes a lot to make the area where I perform look more attractive. If I give stickers to the children, I always bring enough for the adults to have them too. (You'd be surprised at how many adults enjoy getting a sticker!)
A. The children's and adults' mesmerized faces as I stand in front of them. It makes my heart swell with joy.
A. What is a storyteller? Do you mean that you read books out loud?
No, I don't hold a script or book in my hand as I tell. I am the narrator of the story as well as portraying all the characters. I am a one-woman show with a cast of thousands. The San Diego Tribune described what I do in this way: "Without props, she creates an imaginary world, telling the story and becoming the characters. Her eyes and expressive hands move from this imaginary world to the audience, weaving the two together. "
Do you just tell to little children?
Stories are for all ages. Just as there are narratives that would only be enjoyed by preschoolers and stories that would only enchant older children, there is also longer and more thoughtful fiction that captivates adults. Nowadays that fiction is available to you in many different forms: books, movies, TV, theater...and storytelling. I have stories for every age, starting with three year-olds who are just beginning to understand what a story is, through older adults (who are always surprised at how much they enjoy listening to stories).
Where do you tell?
Where don't I tell? I prefer not to tell in venues where there are visual and auditory distractions that make it hard for the audience to concentrate. I have told and taught storytelling-related workshops for clubs, businesses, museums, libraries, schools, colleges, churches, temples, conferences, festivals, storytelling guilds, and private parties for every age imaginable. I have performed from Aurora, New York, to Alberta, Canada, to Austin, Texas, to Anaheim, California.
A. I usually tell to no more than 300 at a time, but I once told a whale tale in Shamu Stadium to 5,000 Girl Scouts. It was amazing to stand in front of the whale tank and look left and right to all those excited faces.
A. I wish they knew how important it is to provide a quiet space with no distractions for the storytelling. It is hard for one voice, even if it is miked, to compete against a drum troop or a clown blowing bubbles. (Luckily, it is seldom that this happens!)
A. Well, like all of you, I have been a storyteller all my life without realizing it--sharing incidents of my life, jokes, the plots of movies that I enjoyed, etc. But I was lucky enough to see a freelance storyteller and realized that I wanted to learn more. I read every book I could find, attended classes and workshops, helped found a storytelling group and festival, practiced on everyone I met, and finally put out my first business card. That was in 1980, so my adventure has lasted for a long time.
A. I am the resident storyteller at the Timken Art Museum in Balboa Park in San Diego, where I perform 9 times a year. Generally I pick a painting, learn and perform the story of the artist's life, and then tell a fairy tale that I feel goes with the picture. Recently I picked a painting of a ship by Thomas Birch, an artist from the early 1800's. When I found out that little is known of his life, but that he painted battle scenes from the War of 1812, I told the story of how the National Anthem came to be written. Even the adults were informed and entertained by the tale!
A. I have taken numerous workshops at conferences and festivals and subscribe to journals on storytelling. (I've also given workshops and edited and written for those journals!)
A. Storytelling is an age-old art. It will never be replaced by technology of any sort, as a live performance is a different thing to experience than watching a computer screen or DVD.
A. How much do you charge?
It depends on what type of stories you want, whether I have to do special research, how long I am to tell or teach for, how far I have to travel, how large the audience is, what your budget is--many factors determine a fee. I no longer have time to donate my services, preferring instead to donate money to my favorite causes.
A. Here's what I did: I read every book I could find, attended classes and workshops, helped found a storytelling group and festival, practiced on everyone I met, and finally put out my first business card.
A. I love most of the stories I tell so much that my pleasure in performing them comes through and inspires the audience to enjoy them as much as I do.
A. Where do you find your stories?
Most of them come from research at the library into traditional tales of the world's cultures, but I also collect supernatural occurrences from people I meet, create improvisational stories with audiences, and sometimes write my own. I have all kinds of programs from "Hauntingly True Ghost Stories" to "Encounters with Truth: Stories for Adults" to "Multicultural Folk Tales." If you're looking for good stories, I recommend browsing through the folk tales and short story collections. Try reading the story out loud several times, drawing stick-figure pictures of the story, and then sitting back and visualizing the tale in your mind's eye. These are just some of the techniques I use to remember.
A. How many stories do you know?
That's not an easy question to answer. I have three types of tales in my memory: 1) stories that I have shaped and rehearsed until I am proud to perform them, 2) stories that I could tell if pressed for a particular type on short notice, and 3) stories that I can summarize the plot of but couldn't tell without more practice. These three types comprise several hundred. I'm sure that I could find a story that's just right for you!

Beginning tomorrow morning, and hopefully continuing for most of the week, NFL owners will meet in Chicago with NFL representatives to discuss, among other things, a general outline for a possible revenue agreement with league players. In the 100-plus days since the beginning of the work stoppage, in the dozens of meetings and court cases and lawsuits and appeals and personal attacks in the media, there has never been a more critical moment. Make no mistake; what happens this week in Chicago will ultimately decide, one way or the other, if there will be football in 2011.
If the talks break down – if two or more of the owners decide they don't agree with the general outline or are unwilling to give any more in the way of compensation and bonuses than they've previously agreed to in prior proposals – there simply won't be enough time to try again from the beginning. The illusion of a September start date will shatter completely, and instead of wondering – as we are now – if there will be training camp or a preseason, we'll instead start wondering how many games we might be able salvage, and how far into the fall we can go before calling off the season completely.

Based out of Southeast Portland, Oregon, the studio specializes in hand-crafted pieces incorporating unique timber and traditional joinery, using hand planes and scrapers to leave a glowing finished surface with subtle ingrained tool marks. The wood used is predominantly sourced within Oregon and Washington through small local sawyers - who mill trees that would end up as firewood or wood waste. These small time sawyers usually get the trees by offsetting the price to people who want or need a tree to come down.

The table below compares features that are related to grading, feedback, and assessment. Click on the name of a feature to read a more detailed description below. These recommendations are entirely based on DePaul's use of D2L and Digication and do not reflect how instructors at other institutions could use these systems.
|Turning in Assignments
|Commenting on and Returning Word Documents
|Quizzes, Surveys, & Self-Assessments
|Commenting on e-Portfolio Pages
Turning in Assignments:
It's relatively easy for students to submit their work in both D2L and Digication. In D2L, the Dropbox tool is what students use to submit their assignments online. You can set up separate Dropbox folders for each assignment and choose when students can submit assignments. In Digication, students submit their entire portfolios, individual portfolio pages, or separate files by walking through a series of simple steps under the Assignments tab.
Commenting on and Returning Word Documents:
After collecting student papers through the Dropbox in D2L, you can easily add your comments to the Word document and then use the Dropbox to return it to the student. The D2L Dropbox also supports Turnitin integration. In Digication, students can upload a Word document and receive it back through a simple file exchange, but it is not synchronized with other assessment features.
In D2L, you can set up your Gradebook to calculate final grades based on points or with assignments as percentages of the final grade. Students can access the Grades tool to see all their grades in one place. Although there is a Gradebook feature in Digication, it has not been tested extensively at DePaul and is not recommended at this time.
Quizzes, Surveys, and Self-Assessments:
These three features are all available in D2L, but not in Digication. The Quizzes tool allows you to create, manage, and grade online quizzes. D2L allows for quiz questions that can be graded automatically, like multiple-choice questions, and more qualitative questions, like long-answer questions. The Survey tool allows you to solicit feedback from students regarding any aspect of your course. The Self-Assessments tool allows you to create ungraded sets of quiz questions for students to use to gauge their knowledge. It also allows students to see instructor-created feedback to their answers instantaneously.
Both D2L and Digication allow instructors to post customized rubrics and connect them to specific assignments. However, due to the complexity of the rubric system in both D2L and Digication, it is strongly recommended that you arrange a consultation with Faculty Instructional Technology Services (FITS), firstname.lastname@example.com, before using them in your course.
Commenting on e-Portfolio Pages:
At DePaul, D2L is not set up for creating or evaluating e-Portfolios. This should be done using Digication, which allows instructors to comment on individual portfolio pages as well as submitted assignments.

Two-Headed Turtle At Texas Zoo Gets Facebook Page
By KRWG News And Partners
A two-headed turtle born last month at the San Antonio Zoo has become so popular that she has her own Facebook page.
Zoo officials say the Texas cooter called Thelma and Louise, for the female duo in the 1991 Oscar-winning road movie of the same name, has been doing well. Spokeswoman Debbie Rios-Vanskike (van SKYKE') says the turtle eats, swims and the two heads — named Louise Left and Thelma Right — get along.
The Facebook page on Sunday showed photos of the quirky reptile and imaginary conversations between the two heads.
The turtle hatched June 18. The animal is on display at the zoo's Friedrich Aquarium.

(TMA Global)
A trustee or, more commonly, the debtor-in-possession in the case
of a Chapter 11 corporate reorganization acts as an estate's representative
after commencement of a bankruptcy case. The Bankruptcy Code delineates the
representative's powers and duties, granting the individual the ability to sue
and to be sued on behalf of the estate and imparting a fiduciary obligation to
the estate and its creditors.
Despite this obligation, disagreements often arise in bankruptcy
proceedings as to whether the trustee or debtor-in-possession truly is acting in
the best interests of the estate. In many cases, creditors allege that the
estate's representative is not pursuing claims that could add value to the
In such cases,
bankruptcy courts historically have granted creditors a qualified right to bring
actions on the estate's behalf. Although no specific provision in the Bankruptcy
Code covers this practice, courts conferring derivative standing on creditors
have generally cited pre-Bankruptcy Code practice and various policy
considerations for their decisions. [1]
The U.S. Supreme Court's 2000 decision in
Hartford Underwriters Ins. Co. v. Union Planters Bank
addressed the validity of a creditor's
derivative standing. Also known as the "Hen House" case,
Hartford Underwriters
arose out of the bankruptcy of Hen House Interstate, Inc. In
that case, Hartford Underwriters Insurance Co., unaware of Hen House's pending
Chapter 11 proceeding, provided Hen House with workers' compensation insurance
during its attempted reorganization. When the reorganization failed and the case
was converted to Chapter 7 liquidation, Hartford found itself with more than
$50,000 of unpaid insurance premiums.
Subsequently, Hartford sought to charge the premiums to Hen House's
primary secured creditor under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, which
states that "[t]he trustee may recover from property securing an allowed secured
claim the reasonable, necessary costs and expenses of preserving, or disposing
of, such property to the extent of any benefit to the holder of such claim."
Hartford argued that its provision of insurance had preserved the value of the
secured creditor's collateral and it should therefore be able to recover on its
claim as an administrative expense.
In considering the case, the Supreme Court focused narrowly on the issue
of whether the Bankruptcy Code, under Section 506(c), gave an administrative
claimant authority to seek recovery unilaterally. Rejecting arguments based on
prior practice, as well as general policy considerations, the court directed its
attention to the specific language of the provision and, in particular, the
phrase "the trustee may." Espousing a "plain meaning approach" to interpreting
the statute, the court found that the power to invoke Section 506(c) lay
exclusively with the trustee, and thus, no other party had the right to pursue
administrative claims.
Hartford Underwriters
holding seemed to be limited to the
issue of whether creditors have independent standing to use the collateral
surcharge provisions of Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code rather than
raising a question as to the continued legitimacy of creditors' derivative
standing. Indeed, the Supreme Court specifically reserved judgment on the
practice of conferring derivative standing on creditors to pursue avoidance
actions, despite the fact that similar language giving the right to commence
such actions solely to "the trustee" is found in the Bankruptcy Code's avoidance
provisions. [3]
The issue of creditors' derivative standing to bring
avoidance actions on behalf of a bankruptcy estate came to a head two years
later in the Chapter 11 proceeding of Cybergenics Corporation. [4]
the creditors' committee sought permission from the
bankruptcy court to pursue certain fraudulent transfers that the
debtor-in-possession had refused to pursue. After the bankruptcy court granted
the request, the U.S. District Court reversed.
The District Court,
and subsequently a three-judge panel of the 3d Circuit Court of Appeals,
concluded that the "rather well established" practice of permitting creditors to
initiate derivative avoidance actions could not survive the Supreme Court's
reasoning in Hartford Underwriters. [5] Following the
rationale from Hartford Underwriters,
the 3d Circuit rejected prior practice and policy
considerations in determining that the plain meaning of the Bankruptcy Code
provisions that grant "the trustee" the power to commence an avoidance action
are an exclusive grant of power belonging to the debtor, and as such, no other
party in interest –– including a creditor or a creditors' committee –– could
exercise these powers.
The Cybergenics
decision raised a stir throughout the bankruptcy bar and was squarely in
conflict with more than a decade of established case law from various circuits
across the country, including decisions of the 2d, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 9th
Circuit Courts of Appeals. [6]
Ultimately, however,
the 3d Circuit vacated the panel opinion after voting to rehear the case en
banc. On May 29, 2003, the 3d Circuit reversed itself and concluded that
Hartford Underwriters should be construed narrowly to its circumstances
and that the language of the avoidance power sections of the Bankruptcy Code did
not preclude a creditors' committee from commencing an avoidance action in the
debtor's name. [7]
The 3d Circuit
acknowledged that the Bankruptcy Code does not explicitly empower a bankruptcy
court to confer derivative standing on a creditors' committee to pursue an
avoidance action. Nevertheless, it concluded that the legislators' intent to
encourage creditor participation in the bankruptcy proceeding and the
longstanding practice of authorizing creditors to bring avoidance actions on
behalf of an estate, together with the bankruptcy court's equitable powers,
provided sufficient grounds to allow bankruptcy courts to confer derivative
standing on creditors in these circumstances. The court noted that "derivative
standing is a prudent way for bankruptcy courts to remedy lapses in a trustee's
execution of its fiduciary duty." [8]
The en banc
decision in
brought the 3d Circuit
back in line with the majority of circuits and seemed to ensure the continued
viability of creditors' derivative standing in avoidance actions.
In a decision that once again raises the issue that had
seemed to be laid to rest, the 10th Circuit's Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (BAP)
recently held that a creditor seeking to prosecute an avoidance action on behalf
of a debtor's estate had no standing to do so and that the only party with such
standing was the debtor-in-possession itself. [9] In In re
, an individual debtor transferred real estate to his wife and then filed
a Chapter 11 petition. When the debtor refused to prosecute a fraudulent
transfer action against his wife to recover property for the benefit of his
estate, one of Fox's creditors tried to sue to recover the property on behalf of
the estate. The bankruptcy court held that the creditor could not commence such
an action, and the 10th Circuit BAP affirmed that decision.
The Fox court
held that it was constrained by the language of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
Code, which states that "the trustee" may avoid fraudulent transfers. The court
recognized that the 3d Circuit en banc
decision in Cybergenics
, among
other courts, had stretched the statute to confer standing on creditors'
committees, especially when the debtor-in-possession had refused to prosecute
legitimate fraudulent transfer claims.
However, noting a lack
of authority in the 10th Circuit, the BAP held that the Supreme Court's decision
in Hartford Underwriters was controlling. Accordingly, the BAP turned
once again to a literal construction of the Bankruptcy Code's use of the term
"the trustee." The Fox
court recognized
that the plain language of the statute arguably conflicted with public policy.
The court determined, however, that public policy concerns alone were not
sufficient reasons to ignore the statutory language:
Cybergenics discusses many reasons why it
would be good policy for parties other than the trustee to bring derivative
complaints, and it is hard to disagree with the reasons set forth by the
majority [in that case]. We, however, believe this reasoning is best
considered by Congress, and it is not up to us to create a remedy for
creditors it has not granted to them, especially when that right is given
exclusively to the trustee. Here the statute is absolute and allows us no
discretion to vary from what it says. [10]
Cybergenics discusses many reasons why it

creditors it has not granted to them, especially when that right is given
exclusively to the trustee. Here the statute is absolute and allows us no
discretion to vary from what it says. [10]
The Fox decision, like the vacated
Cybergenics decision before it, is clearly at odds with the majority's
thinking on this issue. It remains to be seen if other courts will follow the
lead, forming a split between the circuits that could result in the Supreme
Court taking on the issue. Until such time, creditors and creditors' committees
must once again be on guard for the possibility that a request to commence a
derivative avoidance action will be denied.

F.2d 901 (2d Cir. 1985). In fact, within two months of the Cybergenics
decision, the 2d Circuit Court of Appeals reaffirmed the validity of the
practice within the 2d Circuit of a creditors' committee having standing to
commence avoidance actions in its decision in In re Housecraft Industries
USA, Inc., 310 F.3d 64 (2d Cir. 2002). It should be noted that
Housecraft makes no reference at all to the Hartford
decision, thereby establishing a
split between two of the most prominent bankruptcy circuits.

Fab Or Fail: Fans Freak Over Celeb Makeovers
In celebration of our 50 Celebrity Makeovers, theFABlife hit up Times Square to chat with peeps on the street about the always popular Hollywood trend of transformation. Watch our clip above for their outrageous reactions to some of your favorite stars and their sometimes stellar, sometimes disastrous makeover moves.
Wanna weigh in on your favorite stars and their always-changing looks? Check out our 50 Celebrity Makeovers and tell us what you think about their transformations – fab or fail?
50 Celebrity Makeovers: Vote Fab Or Fail!
One would think that Hollywood celebrities could only achieve otherworldy hotness by hiring stylists or trainers or dieticians — and maybe even slapping fine Porcelain veneers on their teeth or having the fat sucked out of their hips and/or tummies or bumping up their bra size a notch or two or three. But one would be right only part of the time.
You see, some celebs prove there's a fine line between the pursuit and realization of hotness and total freakishness. We have compiled 50 stars who've had Hollywood-esque makeovers. After the jump, look at their before and after pictures — and for each makeover cast your vote "Fab or Fail."

I love it how on one hand, Revis is overpriced, selfish, doesn't play important position and a team can't build around him.
But on the other hand God help us if he lands in the division.
That's because two things that are different, tend to be treated as such. Most people agree that he is overpriced, selfish and doesn't play a position warranted of the contract he is rumored to want (which is different than you putting words in their mouth saying it's not an important position).
None of those facts take away from him being a phenomenal player, one who you don't want in your division. I'm not sure how you're confusing the two.

Meyer to seek appointment to state House District 50 seat
Graig Meyer, a veteran educator and social worker, has announced that he will seek appointment to the state House District 50 seat that Valerie Foushee is vacating to move on to the state Senate.
Meyer, who lives in southwest Orange County, becomes the third person to announce plans to seek appointment to the seat representing parts of Durham and Orange counties.
The other two are Durham businessman Tommy McNeil and Chapel Hill Town Councilwoman Laurin Easthom.
Meyer said in a news release that it is his personal mission to "connect people to the power and opportunities they need to reach their fullest potential."
"That will remain my goal as I enter the world of political service," Meyer said.
Meyer was an elected delegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention and has been elected to numerous other posts in the Democratic Party.
If appointed to the seat, Meyer said his top priority will be to improve K-12 education and the state's system of higher education.
"Our state's prosperity has always rested on the success of our educational system, and I believe that we can continue in that path for ever more," Meyer said.
Meyer's wife, Jennifer, is a teacher in the Durham Public Schools, where his two youngest children also attend school. His oldest daughter is a graduate of the Orange County Schools and currently attends UNC-Charlotte.
A House of Representatives District Executive Committee composed of two representatives from Orange County and two from Durham County will make the appointment.
A similar senate committee appointed Foushee to the District 23 senate seat earlier this month.
Each county is allotted one vote for every 300 citizens counted in the last census.
Because Durham makes up a much small portion of the district, committee members representing Orange County will have more a greater share of the votes.
To be eligible for appointment, a candidate must be a resident of House District 50 and a registered Democrat.
Kinnaird resigned last month, citing frustration with the Republican-controlled General Assembly.
She announced plans for a campaign to ensure citizens have the proper identification to vote to counter the state's new voter ID law backed and approved by the legislature's Republican majority.

American Idol
Adam Lambert Reveals More Details of New Single, "Better Than I Know Myself"
Adam Lambert has been teasing us silly with details of his upcoming sophomore album, Trespassing, getting Glamazons the world over all excited at the propect of new tunes. Now, he's announced the title of the first single from Trespassing, "Better Than I Know Myself" — and if the production credits are any indication, it should be a corker, since it was helmed by super-hitmaker Dr. Luke, who's responsible for massive hits from Britney Spears and Katy Perry, as well as Rihanna's latest single.
Adam worked with Luke on "For Your Entertainment," his first single from his last album — which, like "Better Than I Know Myself," was written by Claude Kelly. Additionally at the helm, though, are Luke's producing partners Cirkut and Ammo, who should lend the single some extra edge. Expected to appear on the album are writing and production credits from Pharrell Williams, Bonnie McKee, and occasional The Voice judge Sia — a star-studded roster for what should be a monster record.
Trespassing is due out in spring 2012, with the single set to premiere shortly. We can't wait to hear what Adam's got in store for us!

Tuesday, the Indianapolis Public School Board voted to close six district schools, including School 20. Teacher Hanna Matthews is shown helping her first graders in 2006 at School 20.
- Filed Under
The Indianapolis Public School Board voted Tuesday to close six schools, adding to the gloom in a district where dozens of administrators learned last week they could lose their jobs.
Superintendent Eugene White would not identify the 240 principals, deans, central office administrators and teachers on special assignment who were given notice that their administrative contracts might not be renewed.
White said he expected the final number of administrators losing their jobs to be closer to 50 but said all had to be notified of the possibility. ...

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker walked away from a self-imposed deadline of Friday for approving his controversial "budget repair bill" as the legislature remained embroiled in gridlock and 14 lawmakers in the Senate stayed in hiding.
Walker would not say how long he would wait for the bill that he says would balance the state's budget, repeal most union collective bargaining rights for public workers, and gives his administration power to change the state's health program to pass.
But he said failure to move the bill forward could result in state aid to local governments being cut by nearly $1 billion, and teacher layoffs. "Year after year politicians passed the buck and that's precisely why we are in trouble today and its got to stop, said Walker. "Its not just about protecting the taxpayers, but its also about protecting the workers".
After 50 hours of debate, the Wisconsin Assembly is closer to voting on the bill.
But neither Republicans nor Democrats are willing to blink first in the week-long debate that has resulted in 14 lawmakers in the Wisconsin Senate fleeing their state, and brought tens of thousands of protestors inside the Wisconsin capitol building.
Earlier it was believed that Assembly Democrats and Republicans had reached a deal to speed up the vote by limiting the minority to 38 amendments given under a strict 10 minute time frame.
But drums and faint chants of "this is what democracy looks like" continued to pierce through the thick wooden doors of the Assembly as Democrats charged repeatedly that Republicans were giving them a similar ultimatum as the unions.
"The same deal that was given to us was given to workers, take it or leave it," said Rep. Joe Parisi (D- Madison).
The Republican leadership says they have been lax on time limits during the marathon session.
Assembly speaker Rep. Jeff Fitzgerald (R-Horicon) said "time is running out before the lack of a vote forces pink slips to start going out."
If that happens it may hit close to home. Fitzgerald's brother Scott is Senate Majority Leader and his wife, who works as a counselor in a local school district received a preliminary layoff notice.
Protesters followed and applauded the Assembly Democratic Minority leadership as a small group tried to meet with Gov. Scott Walker in his office and offer a compromise to the week-long impasse. Walker was a no show.
The Democrats proposed to keep collective bargaining rights for public workers. Gov. Walker later said he had reviewed the proposal and that it was more of the same.
The Republican leadership in the Assembly called the move a stunt. Before Thursday, Democrats had threatened to propose hundreds of changes to the controversial bill that has garnered national attention and brought union supporters from across the nation in support of their Wisconsin colleagues. Minority leader Peter Barca said he decided to limit discussion only after Democrats were given an ultimatum to either limit the number of amendments or that the process was going to be shut down.

Closing arguments are set for today in the child sex abuse trial of Jerry Sandusky.
The defense rested on its third day today without calling the former Penn State assistant coach to dispute the charges against him.
Sandusky is accused of molesting boys at his home and on campus for more than a decade.
The defense called only four new witnesses today. They included a physician who they used to try to poke holes in the story of a Penn State coaching assistant who testified that he saw Sandusky sexually assault a boy in the campus showers.
Sandusky is charged with 51 criminal counts for the alleged abuse of 10 boys over 15 years.
Judge John Cleland said jury instructions and closing arguments by the defense and then prosecution would take place in the morning. If convicted, the 68-year-old former defensive coordinator could be sent to state prison for the rest of his life.

The United Steelworkers Local 7898 grew by more than 100 members last week when workers at the Lakes of Litchfield voted to join the union.
Union President James Sanderson said the 102 employees are full and part time housekeepers, laundry workers, certified nursing assistants, dietary workers, activity employees, maintenance employees, concierges and sitters who are employed by Live Long Well Care LLC.
The vote tally was 55 for the union and 39 against, Sanderson said. The next step in the process will to begin bargaining a labor agreement.
The healthcare workers in the State of South Carolina thinks it time to stand up and start being heard. They understand and realize the only way this is going to happen to organize and form a union, said Sanderson. We are extremely proud of the workers at Lakes at Litchfield for standing united and voting for the union. The workers had to endure a great deal of pressure from management each day up to the election. The workers are extremely excited and look forward to having their issues addressed through the Contract Negotiation process. The workers fully understand the The Right to Hire and Fire at will doctrine here in South Carolina. The only way to overcome this Inhumane law is by having a union.
Sanderson notes South Carolina a very anti-worker state which, he said, is demonstrated by the state not having a minimum wage law.
If it was not for the federal government, employers in the state could pay whatever that want to pay, he said.

Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Ray Shero reiterated two things Tuesday: His team has not discussed bringing back former star Jaromir Jagr, and Sidney Crosby is in fine shape, despite still not being cleared by the team's doctors to resume practicing.
Jagr, 39, is coming off an impressive world championship and discussed with reporters the possibility of returning to the NHL in general—and his former team, specifically.
"I played there for a long time," he said. "Mario (Lemieux) is the owner. It's better to play with great centers like (Sidney) Crosby and (Evgeni) Malkin," he told the Edmonton Journal.
In an e-mail to Sporting News' Craig Custance, Jagr's agent Pat Brisson said he wasn't sure of Jagr's plans moving forward at this point.
The Penguins would like to acknowledge Jagr's contributions to the franchise, of which there are many—he's second to Lemieux in nearly every important offensive category and he won two Stanley Cups, five scoring titles and one Hart Trophy before forcing a trade from the team in 2001—but their interest stops there, Shero said.
"I don't understand where all this came from," Shero said, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "Jagr is not a guy we've spoken about in a couple of years. We talked about him for a little bit after his time with the Rangers (July 2008), but that's about it."
The Penguins did, however, invite Jagr to an alumni golf event that will serve as a reunion of the team's 1991 Cup-winning team, which would likely be the first step in rebuilding their relationship; As a member of the Washington Capitals and New York Rangers, Jagr was roundly booed by Pittsburgh fans.
That move would be the first step toward a larger-scale acknowledge—possibly, as the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Dejan Kovacevic suggested, a jersey retirement.

No Penguin has worn Jagr's No. 68 jersey since he left the team, and only two numbers—Lemieux's 66 and Michel Briere's 21—hang from the rafters at Consol Energy Center.
Shero was in Slovakia for the tournament, where Jagr, who has played the past three seasons in the KHL, starred. The two did not cross paths, though.
"I've never met Jaromir Jagr in my life," Shero said, according to the Post-Gazette.
Jagr had five goals and four assists in nine games during the world championships. He last played in the NHL during the 2007-08 season, scoring 25 goals for the Rangers.
Crosby, meanwhile is on vacation. Concussions ended his season on Jan. 5, and he fell short in attempt to return in time for the Penguins' postseason run, which ended against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round.
Shero characterized headaches Crosby had during his return attempt as a "step back"—not a setback.
"There`s no rush in terms of having a deadline to have him cleared for whatever," Shero told the Tribune-Review. "In this case the break will probably do him well."

Deeply my soul transcends to your flame;
Burning brightly we shine on the shore.
Silent ingression ascends without shame.
To be free once again to adore.
We continue to sparkle though, dark is the night.
Through storms we will anchor or steer.
Moving time with my glimmery watch in your sight.
Together we'll always appear.

If you're a regular reader of mine, you may notice that I don't really go out of my way to espouse moral propositions, only clarification. For example, I might write that abortion is something that libertarians should try to compassionately minimize because it is not an ideal, liberty maximizing solution to the problem of unwanted pregnancies or children. In such a case, I am offering an interpretation of an actual issue in terms of an already defined ethic. The purpose of such discussions is to get people who already consider themselves to be libertarians to step back and reconsider their position on whatever topic I'm addressing.
However, when I leave the realm of libertarianism and attempt to make arguments designed to engage non-libertarians, the strategy is to build a bridge -- to establish a common language and set of goals. From there it is possible to work out the differences in ideology and attempt a reconciliation. I consider this to be advantageous for both of us. If I'm in error, then I can adjust my arguments or alter my ideology in a way that may prove more effective in the future. If my debate partner, upon hearing my arguments, finds himself to be wrong, then I've made an advance for those causes I've tried to further. Such discussions may revolve around me pointing out apparent inconsistencies within their moral code or explaining cause and effect through the use of economic or sociological theory. Whatever method is chosen, a dialogue is opened up from where some sort of progress can be made.
It is for this reason that I consider it problematic when libertarians take the alternate approach of just harping on the "morality of libertarianism" or the "immorality of government." This isn't a way of stroking my ego -- that all arguments must cohere to the way I do things. I argue the way I do for a reason; I want to accomplish something when I make arguments. I don't want to come away from one not having changed a single perception of my debate partner or, worse, accomplishing the opposite of what I had intended. The purpose is to learn and/or pull them to my ideology. The kind of moral argumentation engaged in by many does not have this effect. Instead, it has an alienating effect. Most people indirectly associated with the actions of government simply don't want to be accused of violence. And whether or not it's true that they are guilty of supporting violence, they're not going to take kindly to anyone accusing them of it. They are either going to shut you out and walk away or retaliate with their own hyperbolic claims.
So I'd like to give a little more detail and note that some of the following was inspired by and will overlap with aaron0883's and Brainpolice's arguments.
Not all Statists are inconsistent
Being in support of the State or of governance does not make a person inconsistent by virtue of that fact alone. It is rare that you'll meet a Statist that is as blatantly inconsistent as, say, a "pro-war pacifist" would be. Every person has a hierarchy of values. At least one of those values will include notions of "ought." For example, a person might consider food acquired by peaceful means to be their number one value, but food acquired by violent means to not be valuable at all. The distinction demonstrates a moral or rational (possibly both) value for peacefully acquired food. What if the person holds them in roughly equal regard? For economic or sociological reasons, it might be a demonstration of stupidity or ignorance, but that's about it.
But the statements don't have to remain so simple because there are a lot of qualifiers that can be added to them. One may say using violence, possibly limited, to acquire food when you're starving isn't wrong, but that it becomes wrong when you're well fed. Many moralists attempt to equate the circumstance qualified values. And while this equivocation may represent truth, it certainly isn't as obvious as the statement 2+2=4. There are reasons why philosophers still argue about such things and why there are deontologists, utilitarians, egoists, nihilists, etc. Because, even after all the discussion, things remain terribly vague. Your speculation about values should not be interpreted as some obvious fact.
Statists commonly have such qualified ethics. A liberal who supports state funded healthcare may argue that a person has a right to spend their earned money on a Ferrari, but only on the condition that everyone else has healthcare first. In other words, the right to healthcare supersedes the right to a fancy car. I, depending on the context, would actually be sympathetic to such views, but would at the same time temper my argument in accordance with economic realities. If the means used to accomplish the end result in the inability to accomplish the end, then those means should be eliminated. Statist may just be lacking the facts and theories necessary to make an informed decision. They aren't necessarily being inconsistent, though they may be very sloppy with the way they explain their positions. Plus, rhetorical dishonesty does not mean moral inconsistency.
Morality is a dead end
Why are fundamentalists annoying? From my point of view, the reason is because 1) they usually don't even understand what they advocate and 2) they are completely oblivious to there own fallibility. If libertarians seek to turn people to libertarianism strictly on the basis of "this is the correct way to behave," I wouldn't be very suprised, that upon achieving success, the people of the future will quote Rothbard as gospel (as some already seem to do -- out with Christ, in with Rothbard). And even if the ideas did create utopia and peace on earth, they will always be susceptible to that age's skeptics who claim to have found a "better" way. I'm perfectly fine with people making arguments and metaphysical speculations and then attempting to justify them, but fundamentalism places virtue in holding a belief rather than in being able to justify it. The major religions of the world aren't vapid and without any substance, but the lessons and meaning that could be derived from their legends have been overshadowed by the assumption that they don't need or, worse, can't to be criticized. I hope libertarianism doesn't become tired and worthless folklore. And if the American bastardization of "liberty" is any indication, we should have good evidence that it can happen.
"Against Me"
Stephan Molyneux's "against me" argument is supposed to put the libertarian on the offensive by personalizing the aggression between himself and his debate partner. The goal of which is to get the non-libertarian to denounce violence that would be used against any libertarian who acts perfectly in line with their principles. To some extent this can be explanatory. A libertarian may say: "If I smoke marijuana, I could go to jail. Do you think I should be sent to jail for smoking a plant?" Taking it this far only serves as a means of communicating the way in which laws actually affect people and phrasing it in such a way that it becomes more relevant to whoever you're talking to. But if the response confirms that one should be put in jail for smoking pot, the advice set forth by the "against me" argument devolves into a "well then we aren't friends anymore." Talk about juvenile!
Beyond its basic illustrative purpose, the "against me" argument is useless. This particular argument doesn't mean anything. All libertarians except pacifists would use violence in some way to defend what they consider justly owned property. It's based on a pretense of knowledge regarding what is justly acquired and simply begs the question. If someone were to make the case that all natural resources are owned in common, it becomes quite easy to justify, if based on nothing but moral questions, that people be forced to do certain things. Property owners justify forcing people to do stuff on their property. If it's everyone's property, then everyone gets to force everyone to do anything. The communist could just as easily turn to Molyneux and say, "Are you going to use violence against me if I walk into your house?" It's the science and theory that resolves such issues.
But further, disengaging an argument is the last thing you could possibly want to do. There are people who are not worth debating, but to disengage over a difference of opinion is absurd. People hold their opinions for reasons. If they think life on earth is going to come to an end if libertarians get their way, then opposing libertarians seems pretty reasonable to me. It's the perception of reality that needs to change.
Almost every libertarian began as a non-libertarian. Demanding evidence that libertarian ideas won't result in the devolution of society is hardly a sin. Libertarian ideas need to be nurtured, not imposed. That would just be another form of statism. In the words of Bob Marley, "emancipate yourself from mental slavery." Using emotionalism to convert people to libertarianism is unsustainable garbage.

I am really glad I decided to stay home and watch college basketball last Tuesday night instead of going to the driving range.
It was a historic evening on the hardwood, and I probably would have ended my practice session in frustration had I elected to swing the sticks.
As I plopped down on the pleather after a hard day's work, I turned on the television to see Antonio Anderson of Memphis go coast-to-coast and make the game-winning layup.
It was an exciting moment, because the win over Tulsa extended the Tigers' winning streak over Conference USA opponents to 45 games—but a last-second shot with a streak on the line doesn't qualify as historic. Stimulating for sure, but not memorable.
The name of Jodie Meeks will forever be etched into a section of my brain after he dropped in a school record 54-points for the Kentucky Wildcats, the third-highest total in NCAA history.
Meeks was absolutely phenomenal. Everything he threw up was going in. I think he could've done an over-the-back from the other free-throw line and hit nothing but net.
The junior guard went 15-of-22 from the field and was 14-of-14 at the charity stripe. Did I mention he hit 10-of-15 from downtown, which set a school record for three bombs made in a single game?
The point total amassed by Meeks accounted for 60 percent of the team output and is the most points scored by any player in a regulation game over the course of the last decade.
If you see Kentucky on the TV guide in the coming weeks, you will want to tune in, because this was no fluke.
Prior to eclipsing the 50-point plateau, Meeks had already filled the box score with totals of 47, 39, and 37 this season.
More thoughts
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons and Oklahoma Sooners played some very impressive ball this weekend. These two teams will be formidable opponents when March rolls around, and I expect them to advance very deep in the tournament.
I previewed Wake in last week's article and want to break down one of the squad's star players: Jeff Teague. He is really something special.
The Deacons point guard is a decent length for his position, which gives him a long reach that enables him to get into the passing lanes. He is averaging more than two steals per game and reminds me of an Anfernee Hardaway type of player during his collegiate days who can dish, rebound, and score.
As long as Teague keeps running the type of game he is capable of, the Deacons will remain the best team in the country.
I'm not saying they will stay undefeated, but they are, by far, the best team I have seen play this season, and I've watched every Top 10 school thus far.
Oklahoma's Blake Griffin will most likely be the No. 1 overall pick in the next draft, but he has a great supporting cast.
His older brother, Taylor, is a perfect complement at the forward position, and senior guard Austin Johnson has resurrected his game along with his mohawk haircut.
The Sooners boast a nice balance of personnel and this team really showed composure down the stretch against Texas A&M on Saturday, hitting key free throws as the Aggies attempted a comeback.
Wednesday night preview
Hump day always provides us with a slew of tantalizing basketball games and on the docket tonight is an ACC matchup showcased on ESPN.
North Carolina will try to improve on its .500 conference record, while Clemson is coming off the team's first loss of the season at the hands of the No. 1 team in the country—Wake Forest.
The battle in the paint should be very intriguing as UNC's Tyler Hansbrough and the Tigers' Trevor Booker are two of the best in the nation.
Expect the Tarheels to come out gunnin' at Chapel Hill with action starting at 9:00 p.m. ET.

I've started mentoring a junior developer. I've read the community wiki on how to mentor and have been following many of the suggestions in there. The developer has a couple years experience, mostly with modifying existing programs or transitioning code from our legacy system to our new system (a lot of cut and paste).
I'm teaching her about our infrastructure which has much more complex programming inside of it, eg: reflection, pointers, multi-threading, dynamic objects. Once I have explained to her what needs to be done she is able to write working code, usually copying similar code and modifying it.
I'm concerned that she doesn't understand why or how the code is doing what it is doing. When I ask her to explain the code to me she usually paraphrases the requirements that I originally gave her.
So my question is: how can I measure how well she actually understands the business logic and programming structures being used? What should I be asking, what should I be looking for?

MIZELL STEWART III: Mayoral debates will give citizens a chance to question the candidates
It's an old axiom in politics that voters don't tune into general election contests until after Labor Day.
Fortunately, that's not been the case so far in this year's mayoral contest in the city of Evansville, where Democrat Rick Davis and Republican Lloyd Winnecke are vying to succeed incumbent Jonathan Weinzapfel, who has decided not to run for a third term.
An active and competitive primary season helped focus voter attention on the race; to my delight, Davis and Winnecke have begun offering more detailed plans on how they would lead city government if elected.
That's made for an active summer.
So far, Davis has issued position papers and statements on his plans for city parks and the future of Roberts Stadium. Winnecke has done the same on the topics of jobs, public safety and transportation.
It's a good start. Both candidates have also shied away from the kinds of attacks that tend to permeate our politics — behavior that I expect will continue through the November general election.
Planning under way
Behind the scenes, a group of local print, broadcast and online media organizations have been working with the Davis and Winnecke campaigns to organize two televised debates between the candidates.
The first will be broadcast on WNIN-PBS television at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 7; the second, also on WNIN, will be at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 12.
Now, here's where you come in. These debates will be staged in a similar fashion to those organized statewide by the Indiana Debate Commission, which held four debates in the U.S. Senate race last year and is gearing up for a busy statewide campaign season in 2012.
The Evansville mayoral debates will feature the candidates responding to questions posed by city residents about the issues facing our community.
To accomplish that task, we need to know what questions you would like the candidates to respond to. A committee chaired by Randy Wheeler, news director of WIKY radio, will narrow down the submissions and select the best for the debates.
If your question is selected, the debate organizers will contact you to find out if you'd be willing to ask your question on camera — yet another way to involve city residents in this vital opportunity to compare and contrast the candidates.
You may send your questions to us at email@example.com and put "Evansville debate" in the subject line; you can also mail them directly as you would a letter to the editor. Please include your question, your name, a daytime phone number and whether you would be willing to ask your question on camera.
Our hope is for a city mayoral campaign focused on issues, not personalities and substance, not style. A robust series of debates between the two candidates will further that goal.
If you live in the city of Evansville, as I do, I urge you to carefully consider your question for the candidates and send it in.

Mackay Stadium's listed capacity is fewer than 30,000 people, and the building turns 45 years old this year. Forget ranking among college football's greatest venues — Nevada's home field gets dwarfed in town by Reno's casinos, and the treats of Lake Tahoe down the road.
Still, for a few hours Friday, Mackay will serve as the sport's epicenter. Undefeated Boise State, ranked fourth in the most recent BCS standings and poised to jump to third (or higher), comes to town for a date with the No. 19 Wolf Pack.
With its conference championship, national title and Heisman Trophy implications, the game ranks among the biggest events in Nevada football history. But the contest figures to revolve around a single simple question — can Boise State's defense slow down the best rushing attack it will see all year?
The numbers indicate that the Broncos, piloted by Heisman candidate Kellen Moore at quarterback, will pile up the touchdowns against the inconsistent Wolf Pack. Nevada's upset chances, though, seem best if the score skews toward shootout. And that will mean a big night for the home team's pistol offense.
The Nevada run game, ranked fourth in the nation at better than 304 yards per game, has decimated opponents all season. Fifth-year senior quarterback Colin Kaepernick needs 16 yards to rush for 1,000 for a third straight year.
Classmate Vai Taua has already achieved the 1,000-yard triple. They both work behind a strong, veteran offensive line that will deal with the best defense on their schedule.
"Vai is a terrific running back," Nevada coach Chris Ault said on this week's WAC teleconference. "He knows how to read plays. But if you don't block, it doesn't matter."
And Nevada will need to block against the Broncos. Boise State boasts the nation's best rush defense, allowing 72.3 yards per game and leading the country in tackles for loss. Once a team that relied on finesse, BSU now owns a bevy of front seven defenders that could hang on any team.
Tackles Billy Winn and Chase Baker form the run defense's foundation. Shea McClellin has emerged into a star defensive end, Derrell Acrey is a strong middle linebacker, and nickelback Winston Venable ranks among the team's best athletes.
Maybe most important is the man on the sidelines. Coach Chris Petersen last winter promoted line coach Pete Kwiatkowski to defensive coordinator, replacing Justin Wilcox, who left for Tennessee. Boise's recent defensive dominance continued despite the change, and Kwiatkowski ended up a finalist for the Broyles Award, given to the nation's top assistant coach.
"He's been awesome," Petersen said on the teleconference. "Completely seamless transition. We kind of picked up where we left off last year."
Nevada, though, has stayed close to Boise during the Broncos' amazing recent run. Sure, the Wolf Pack have dropped 10 straight in the series. But the last three have come by an average of less than a touchdown, a somewhat proud accomplishment for any team.
Rough starts have hurt the Pack in recent meetings, and Ault said he sees today's first few minutes as crucial.
"Our situation is that Boise has executed very well, and we have failed to execute," he said. "That can't happen. You don't want to be trailing Boise State at any time."
To stay with the Broncos, Nevada needs to score. And to score, Nevada needs to run the ball for even more than its 304-yard average. Do that, and Mackay Stadium might play host to college football's upset of the season.

German Company's Giant Cookie Goes Missing
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. When the huge golden cookie that stood for 100 years outside the headquarters of a big German cookie maker went missing, the company put up a reward. Then the kidnapper sent a ransom note. I have the biscuit, it said with text cut from magazines. It demanded the company donate cookies to children in a local hospital, and the reward to an animal shelter. Signed: Cookie Monster. Cute. But so far the bakery has not bitten. It's MORNING EDITION.

Just days after turning up at a Superior animal Shelter, Endo the Mastiff is taking a long trip south.
On Wednesday morning, Endo hopped into the back of an SUV to start his drive to Cape Coral, Florida. According to Animal Allies, volunteers from Lost Dogs of Minnesota and Mobile Mutts Rescue Transports partnered to find Endo transportation.
Endo's owners lost him two years ago after he broke out of their fenced yard in Florida. Luckily, Animal Allies was able to track down Endo's family because of a microchip he has, which contains all of his identification information.
Betsy Bode, a shelter manager at Animal Allies in Superior, said "we did contact that original owner and we're just overwhelmingly amazed that they truly loved him, were missing him and were wanting to get him back home."
After Endo disappeared, Animal Allies said he was cared for by several families which eventually brought him to the Twin Ports.
