Compare and Order Decimals Day 2
In a previous post, I spoke of my introduction to comparing and ordering decimals. In an even different post, I reviewed an amazing Kagan book called Discovering Decimals by Laura Candler. The two activities we played for our second day of comparing and ordering decimals were out of that book.
Decimal War:
In "Decimal War", students are given a set of cards with different decimal numbers on each card. Students are grouped in pairs. They pass out the whole deck between the two of them face down. At the same time, the students flip over their first card. The person with the largest number wins that round and those cards. In case of a tie, they "declare war." They each place three cards face down and turn the fourth one face up. The person with the highest fourth card wins all of those cards. Game continues until time is called.
I'm the Greatest:
For this activity, the students are still grouped in pairs. This game requires a deck of cards with all face cards removed. We used the 10's card as a 0, and the ace card as a 1. The book has a black line master to record the numbers for this game. Students pass out all cards and then they each flip over six cards. On the black-line master, the decimal places are put in different places for each round. The students are to make the largest number with the cards they flip over. After making the number, they compare it to their partner's number and the largest value wins that round making them "The Greatest". To make it a little more stimulating, when I notice that all of the groups are finished I say "travel" and the students get up and find a new partner. I do this for each round, and there are four rounds.
"Discovering Decimals"
I can't stress to you enough, that if you teach decimals this book is a "must have." There are so many excellent activities and games. The directions are very clear and precise with many extensions and additional activities for each lesson. There are templates and black-line masters for everything you need. Pretty much every aspect of decimals is covered in this book, from grades 3-8.
Circumference of a Circle
This is the second year that I have taught finding the circumference of a circle using the lessons out of the "Hands On Math!" book. Refer to my "Resources" section to find this book. Here is a picture of the book though……
The "Hands On Math!" book is set up by objectives. Each objective contains three different activities. The first activity is very concrete, the second lesson is pictorial (they are usually drawing or coloring something), and the third activity is a cooperative learning game. The lesson I used for teaching circumference of a circle starts on page 355. Before I started these activities, I gave them a colored sheet of paper and we drew a circle and labeled the diameter, radius, center, and we wrote along the margin that the circumference is the distance around the circle.
For these activities, I had the students grouped in pairs. The first activity is called "All Wrapped Up." The actual activity calls for assorted plastic lids, but I didn't think about saving up lids (maybe I'll start saving now for next year's group. I'll make a note). Instead of actual lids, I drew three different sized circles on a piece of paper and made copies for each student. While they are in pairs, I still wanted each student to actually do this exercise themselves but still look at their partner for "security" making sure they are doing the activity correctly. This helps because as there are twenty-something students in the class, there is only one teacher.
I also gave them cotton twine (not stretchy) long enough to at least go around the largest circle.
The students were asked to, as accurately as they could, put the string around the medium sized circle and then mark with their fingers where the end of the string meets the rest of the string after it wraps around once. Basically they are measuring the circumference of the circle with the string.
Then ask them to see how many times that marked off string will go across the center of the circle (the diameter).
Go around the room asking the students how many diameters they were able to get out of the marked off string. Hopefully they will get "three plus a little more." After several of the students saying three plus a little more, then you can explain that this "three plus a little more" actually has a name in math. That name is pi. I draw the symbol on the board and tell them that the actual number is 3.14………
Second Activity: Around and Across
With this activity, I give each pair a copy of the worksheet in the book, adding machine tape, centimeter rulers, and a calculator.
The students are to wrap the adding machine tape around the circle (a little easier since it already wraps).
They should mark the adding machine tape with a pencil at the place where the end meets the rest of the tape. They then need to measure the marked off piece of the tape to see the measurement of the circumference of the circle to the nearest cm. You may have to explain how to measure with a ruler. They then place that measurement in the appropriate place in the table on the back of the worksheet. Then they need to measure the diameter with the ruler and record that in the table. Using the calculator, they need to type in the circumference divided by the diameter. They need to do that will all of the circles. After everyone has completed, go around the room asking for what there circum/diam was. Hopefully most of them will say three point something. I always emphasize the "three plus a little bit more". I then ask them if that sounds familiar, and they always yell out pi! This is where I go into the discussion and I question them until they start realizing that the distance around the circle (the circumference) is the same as three plus a little bit more diameters. Drawing pictures on the white board is always beneficial in my classes. I then tell them that the actual formula for the circumference of a circle is C=pi * d (sorry, I don't know how to type the pi symbol on here). We also talk about how it takes two radius to make a diameter, so we also may need C= 2 * pi * r.
Activity Three: Circlespin
This is a pretty cool "game". Still in pairs, I give each group a copy of the spinners, a large paper clip, and they need a pencil.
This is not the original spinner that came out of the book. I used white out and changed it to fit our sixth grade PASS. First of all, we don't use decimals with circumference and area, and they won't have to find the diameter or radius given the circumference. Because of this, I changed the "circumference" on the spinner to "both" and changed the numbers to all be whole, even numbers. The students then flick the paper clip once for each spinner. Both students must find the circumference based on the information they are given by the spinner. For instance, if the paper clip landed on "radius" on the top spinner and "6" on the bottom spinner, both students would find the circumference of a circle with a radius of six. They are to then check each others answers to see if they are the same. In sixth grade, PASS only asks them to find the circumference to pi and not multiply it out. Because of that, this game should not take very long at all. I usually ask them to do ten problems all together. Each pair's paper should look identical when they turn them in.
I have different worksheets that I give them if I feel they need a little practice. I usually give them at least one homework assignment for finding the circumference.
Cut, Fold, Tape, and Repeat Revised
OK, I wanted to put pictures and stuff but I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I finally got it done and am finally posting this!! Yay!! Here is a picture of the 3D figures I bought to demonstrate with. They were completely awesome! From looking at the picture of them, I thought the inserts were paper and would fall apart quickly. They are actually acrylic frames with plyable plastic nets inside of them. They should last for years. They were an excellent purchase.
Monday we made the foldable graphic organizer that compared the different characteristics of pyramids and prisms as well as cylinders and cones. Tuesday I gave them nets of different three dimensional figures for them to cut out, fold, and tape. Unfortunately for myself, I didn't read the "content limits" for this PASS which tells me that all they have to know are rectangular and triangular prisms and pyramids, cones, cylinders, and spheres. Because I failed to remember this, I had them do several different nets. Oh well, a little extra knowledge never killed anyone. My point is this, if you're an Oklahoma sixth grade teacher I would only have them do the nets within our content limits.
Here is a link to the net templates that I used. www.senteacher.org
Here is a picture of some of the nets my kids made. It's not an art class, so I don't grade or make a big deal of how "pretty" the folded shapes are. The point of the activity is for them to take the net and make the 3D figure.
There were nine nets, so I put the students in groups of three and each student configured three different nets. Some of the nets were built to perfection and some look like they had been run through a ringer. This project took approximately one and a half days to complete. My wonderful mom and dad bought me a set of geometric shapes. They are clear plastic with one side opens as a lid. Inside of the shapes is a plastic net that opens up when you take it out. I used these to show them models of the nets and how they fold up to be the different shapes. I work extremely hard to include every style of learner. I am always verbally explaining things. I use lots of hands-on materials to help them learn, in this case was actually cutting out the net and folding it up into the three dimensional figure. I also try to incorporate visuals such as the geometric shape kit my parents bought for me. This was a very engaging activity that the students enjoyed.
I also found a great site that had a "matching" activity for three dimensional shapes. I gave each pair of students a copy of the matching papers and also a red colored paper. They were to cut out the cards and match the discription with the appropriate picture and glue them on the colored paper. This was just an added exercise to connect the nets in words with the pictures. Here is a link to the matching worksheets. 3D Shape Matching Activity The following pictures are student examples.

The 3D War….Pyramids vs Prisms and Cylinders vs Cones
Whew! Today was a big one. It started off a little crazy first hour (maybe because it's Monday), but finally got it going. Here goes my lesson on three-dimensional shapes and their nets. I started off the lesson talking about two-dimensional figures. That they only have two dimensions: length and width. I drew a picture of a rectangle on the board and demonstrated this. I then told them that three-dimensions have the length and width like 2D have, but we add another dimension….height. I then handed out colored paper (Monroney blue for this project, Go T-Birds!) and explained my love for foldables (handy graphic organizers). I took pictures, so we'll see how this tutorial turns out…….
First take a blank piece of colored paper……..
Then fold the paper in "Hot Dog" style…….
Fold one side of the paper two-thirds of the way to the other side……
Then fold the other side to meet the opposite edge………
Open the shape up and cut down the creases on one side of the paper…….
We labeled the three flaps….."2D Shapes, Pyramids vs Prisms, and Cylinders vs Cones"
On the inside of each flap, we listed the different names for the different sided polygons under "2D Shapes" flap. We listed the characteristics of pyramids and prisms under the flap for "Pyrmaids vs Prisms". Finally we listed the different characteristics for cones and cylinders under the flap labeled "Cones vs Cylinders."

Venn Did You Go Back to School?
Annnnnddd we're back! What an exciting first couple of days back to school!! Today, we constructed the water cup origami for the first part of the class. The link to this is www.wipapercouncil.org/origami.htm I give them the instructions and then come around and pour water in their cup to see if they folded it correctly. It's not hard origami, so it doesn't take very long. After this exercise, we discussed Venn Diagrams. Venn Diagrams are a part of PASS for sixth grade math. The students were already in groups of two based on the seating for the day. I showed them an example using two of the kids and used funny items to compare and contrast them. I gave the students each a colored piece of paper had them each come up with five items (for a total of 10) and then place it on the Venn Diagram in the appropriate place. Most of the students knew Venn Diagrams already, so they were able to do it with ease. A couple of groups had a tougher time, but with further explanation I was able to get them on track. The best part was when there was an odd number of students, I had them make a triple Venn Diagram. After everyone was finished with the project, I asked different groups to go on the board and reproduce their diagrams. It was a great way for students to learn about each other as well as learn their names. I know this was probably one of the best "back to school" projects I've done in order to remember their names. Overall, a very successful day! So glad to be back, and I'm excited to get on with next week…….three dimensional shapes!!!

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally……
If you are a math person, you've probably heard about dear Aunt Sally. It is a mnemonic that helps students remember the order of operations (the order in which we work a series of numbers and operations). It is "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. Please is for parenthesis, Excuse for exponents, My for multiply, Dear for divide, Aunt for addition, and Sally for subtraction. Every math teacher I know uses it and if they don't, then they probably should. I taught the students the mnemonic, worked several examples, had them work several examples, gave them a short worksheet, and then today we played a game. The game was a set of 40 pieces of paper cut up into about 2″ by 4″ or 5″. I wrote a different numeric expression on each paper. The students were in groups of three or four. Each group got a set of the cards and a dice. The whole set of cards was placed upside down in the middle of the group. The first person rolled the dice and flipped over a card. They worked the problem on the card while (at least) a second person worked the problem as well, as a "checker". If the person got it correct, they added the number on the dice. If they got it incorrect, they deducted the number of points on the dice. It was absolutely hilarious to listen to the students argue and correct each other the whole time they played. There was very little off-task conversations. They occassionally asked for my help, but not often. It was a very successful game and lesson! It sometimes got very loud in the room, but what was I going to say, "Quit talking so loud about math!"? Uuummm… NO! I'm goint to post pictures of the cards I made up, but honestly I just got them out of the book.

My boyfriend Neil was coming down to Florida on Christmas Day to spend the rest of Christmas and my birthday with my family. When he got off the plane, he had tied the ring to our dog's collar. Of course, because I wasn't expecting an engagement for at least another six months, I didn't even notice the ring dangling on the collar, even when I was practically staring right at it. It wasn't until Neil finally pointed it out to me that I realized what was happening. For the first time in my 22 years on Earth, I was absolutely speechless. My parents even recorded the whole thing on video!

- I. Goals
The goals of this lesson are (1) to help students develop critical thinking skills through literary analysis of The Seeing Stone and examination of the Knights' Code of Chivalry, (2) to foster cooperative learning through group work, and (3) to develop student creativity and writing skills through the creation of a modern code of chivalry.
Enduring Understandings
People's actions are often shaped by some sort of moral code and/or sense of duty.
Sometimes, no matter how solid our sense of morality or duty is, we find ourselves in situations where we are not sure what the "right" thing to do might be.
Essential Questions
What is my own personal moral code or sense of duty?
If following one's moral code or sense of duty could get that person into trouble, should he or she do it anyway?
- II. Instructional Objectives
Students will be able to:
-Demonstrate understanding of the concept of chivalry through class discussion of the Knights Code and through the process of writing their own modern codes of chivalry.
-Relate this understanding of chivalry to The Seeing Stone through discussion of Chapter 5
- III. Content
Students will analyze Chapter 5 of The Seeing Stone through class discussion; they will then study the Knights' Code of Chivalry and write their own Modern Code of Chivalry.
Standards/Benchmarks applicable to this lesson:
NCTE 3. Students apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts. They draw on their prior experience, their interactions with other readers and writers, their knowledge of word meaning and of other texts, their word identification strategies, and their understanding of textual features (e.g., sound-letter correspondence, sentence structure, context, graphics).
PA 1.1.9.A: Apply appropriate comprehension strategies to interpret and evaluate an author's implied or stated purpose using grade level text.
PA 1.6.9.A: Listen critically and respond to others in small and large group situations. Respond with grade level appropriate questions, ideas, information or opinions.
PA 1.5.9.B: Develop content appropriate for the topic.
PA 1.5.9.F: Use grade appropriate conventions of language when writing and editing.
- IV. Materials
The Seeing Stone, by Kevin Crossley-Holland
"Knights Code of Chivalry"
Monty Python "Camelot Song" Video and lyrics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfGpVcdqeS0 and http://www.lyrics007.com/Monty%20Python%20Lyrics/Knights%20Of%20The%20Round%20Table%20(Camelot%20Song)%20Lyrics.html)
- V. Teaching Procedures
- Introductory:
I will begin class by reminding the students of the preliminary research we did on different elements of Arthurian legend at the beginning of the unit (two days prior) and ask students to brainstorm on what they remember learning about knights. I'll write each concept down on the whiteboard, facilitating the exercise so that, even if the prior lesson's presentation on knights did not cover elements essential to today's lesson, they are covered today. For instance, "How does somebody become a knight? Do you remember that it's a process, through which someone would first train to be a page, then a squire, and then finally a knight? " "What about chivalry? What was that? "
- Developmental:
Teacher: Today, we are going to look at The Seeing Stone – particularly the events that happened in Chapters 4 and 5, when Arthur gets into trouble after helping Gatty with the bulls. We practiced summarizing yesterday, so who would like to volunteer to summarize these sections for us?" (Student will summarize, describing how the bulls are loose, Arthur decides to help Gatty get them in their pens, and he gets in trouble with his parents for doing so.") Does it seem odd to any of you that Arthur got in trouble for this when he was helping his friend? Let's open our books to page 16. I'm going to read, starting with, "That didn't work, though." (Teacher will read the passage.) Why does Serle think "squires and pages don't tangle with bulls"? (Students will volunteer answers, hopefully saying because it isn't their "duty".) Let's now turn to page 21. Can someone else volunteer to read, starting with "What you did was wrong"? (Student will read through Arthur's father's explanation of why he should not have helped Gatty).
I think this is interesting, because Arthur is a page, which means he's in training to become a knight, and knights are expected to follow the Code of Chivalry. I'd now like us to look at the Knights Code of Chivalry. (Teacher will display the Code on the SmartBoard and have students take turns reading each element of the Code).
Now that you've read this example of Chivalric Code, do you think Arthur's father was right to be angry with him? (Hopefully, discussion will continue. If it wanes, I will prompt with additional questions, like "What about the part of the code to "protect the weak and defenseless"? or "But…does it matter that Arthur isn't yet a knight, he's just a page? His father says it's his job right now to learn the duties of a page. What do you think of that? Should a page only do a page's job, or should a page also live by the same code of conduct as that of the position he hopes to attain?")
So, let's go back to the Code of Chivalry. I'd like you all to work in groups of your choosing – but no larger than 4 people – to write what you think a Modern Day Code of Chivalry should be. Because it is modern, it can be applicable to both males and females if you'd like (and actually, there were such things a female knights – they were rare, but they existed!). But, if you're working in a group of all girls, you can make it apply only to boys if you want, and vice versa. You can make it specific if you want. For example, "To never post a friend's secret on Facebook" would be specific; or you can make it more general, "To protect secrecy at all costs". The idea is to have fun. (Students will have time to work on this in class; about 15-20 minutes, depending on how long class discussion has been).
- Closure:
Class will conclude with each group reading its Modern Code of Chivalry to the class. If there is time, I will then play the Monty Python video clip and display the lyrics of the song on the SmartBoard.
- VI. Accommodations and Modifications
I am most concerned about the discussion aspect of this lesson. I don't want this to become a Direct Instruction lesson at all, so if students are not contributing to the discussion, I will make a major modification to the lesson. Instead of having students work in groups to write their own Codes of Chivalry, I will instead have them work in groups to prepare an argument for a debate over whether Arthur should or should not have been punished for helping Gatty with the bulls. After they've had time to prepare their arguments, I'll then facilitate a class debate.
- VII. Assessment of Learning
Students will be assessed informally as they participate in class discussion and during group activities. I will circulate through the class during group work to ensure participation and understanding.
- VIII. Self-Assessment of Teaching
The Knights of the Round Table Code of Chivalry
To fear God and maintain His Church
To serve the liege lord in valour and faith
To protect the weak and defenceless
To give succour to widows and orphans
To refrain from the wanton giving of offence
To live by honour and for glory
To despise pecuniary reward
To fight for the welfare of all
To obey those placed in authority
To guard the honour of fellow knights
To eschew unfairness, meanness and deceit
To keep faith
At all times to speak the truth
To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun
To respect the honour of women
Never to refuse a challenge from an equal
Never to turn the back upon a foe

ICC trustees meet today
The facilities committee will update the Isothermal Board of Trustees on several ongoing projects on campus during its regular meeting today.
One of the projects they will receive an update on will be the heating and air renovations in the library. The library was temporarily closed to the public at the end of May and will remain closed for two to three months until the project can be completed. The library staff has been relocated to Room 2 of the IT Building during this time.
The board will also take action on a President's Blanket Travel authorization. If approved it will authorize all of the travel that Walter Dalton, president of ICC, does for college business.
The board is also set to approve a resolution honoring Rev. Dr. Milton B. Robinson for his service to the college and community. Robinson served on the board for eight years.
Trustees will also hear about a $61,000 donation that the Parker Hannifin Corporation has given to the college's Computer Integrated Machining Program of Applied Sciences.
The trustee meeting will be held in a seminar room at The Foundation at 8:30 a.m.

RK of Genii said that you had trouble accessing the pen trick site.
In the November issue of Genii ("Flibbertigibberty") there was a slight error regarding the Website devoted to pen spinning. I just checked the site and it's up; however, I see the that the address should have read: http:///pentix. modenStudios.com, not <http:///pentix.modernStudios.com. In other words, delete the "r". I think that the spell-checker corrected what should NOT have been corrected.
Now it should work. Check out the videos. The stuff is pretty cool.

The Cottagers overcame Queens Park Rangers on Monday night to maintain their place in 10th spot in the table to move them nine points clear of the drop zone.
Jol is keen to build on their recent good run of form and end the season well by securing a top-half finish.
"Everyone tells me that in England 39/40 points will do and I have worked here for five or six seasons and in one or two seasons 37/38 poins was enough and we have got 39 points now and hopefully we will be fine, but in this league you never know," Jol told Sky Sports News.
"We have got 39 points now so hopefully we can look up now and get as high as possible."
Jol admits he feared Fulham might struggle this season after losing a number of key performers in the summer and feels being clear of relegation at this stage of the campaign is a major achievement for the club.
"We lost [Clint] Dempsey, [Mousa] Dembele, Danny Murphy and I thought it could be a difficult season for us but in the first week in April to be on 39 points I think is fantastic," added Jol.

Lee BOE holds hearing on alleged voter fraud
The Lee County Board of Elections held a hearing regarding supposed voter fraud — alleged by Lee County Commissioner Jim Womack, who did not appear at the hearing as ordered by the local board — Wednesday night.
The election board unanimously agreed to send the information regarding the hearing and the alleged voter fraud to the N.C. Board of Elections and to the local district attorney's office during its 5:30 p.m. meeting at the local board of elections' headquarters.
"If there is voter fraud in Lee County, we have to investigate it," said election board member Shannon Gurwitch after the meeting. "Our responsibility is to ensure the integrity of the voting process."
Womack said he was not present at the hearing because of a previously scheduled meeting in Raleigh and because he'd provided the information to the board.
"I will cooperate. I've been cooperative," Womack said Wednesday night. "I've cooperated with everyone. I've volunteered the information. I am puzzled by the perception some may have that I am not cooperating."
The hearing stems from comments made by Womack during the Dec. 3, 2012, Lee County Board of Commissioners meeting.
The local elections board was concerned when Womack declared to have "first-hand knowledge of individuals having sold their ballots" during the commissioner meeting, according to a letter dated Dec. 11, 2012, to Womack by the board. Selling and purchasing ballots are state felonies and the board "would ask that (Womack) immediately provide (the) board and the district attorney's office with the names of those individuals who have sold their votes," according to the December letter.
Election board member Jon Silverman said Womack did not comply with the board's December request and a subsequent request in March.
In a letter to Womack from the elections board dated March 21, 2013, the board asked Womack to disclose the names of those who sold their ballots to Lee County Board of Elections Director Nancy Kimble by April 10.
"In the event that you choose not to voluntary cooperate," the letter said. "We will consider our further options including, if possible, compelling your testimony."
After the April 10 deadline, the board voted to order a hearing to investigate the alleged voter fraud and for Womack to be served a copy of the order by the Lee County Sheriff's Office. The order was served by Lee County Sheriff Chief Deputy Randall Butler on April 18.
During the Wednesday meeting, Gurwitch said she had recently spoken to Womack, who gave her the names of the individuals he alleges sold their ballots. She said she would inform the other board members in private of their names so the names would be included in the information sent to the state board of elections and the District Attorney's Office but not publicized by media outlets.
Womack should have appeared during the hearing, under oath, to provide the requested information instead of sending the information through one board member, Silverman said.
"He forced this board to order him to be here. He did not honor the order," Silverman said. "... I wanted to hear from him under oath about this information."
It is prudent for this board, he said, to send the information to the state board and the district attorney's office so they can, if needed, legally compel Womack to provide his testimony.
"It's disparaging to use (Gurwitch) as his messenger," Silverman said. "When he should have come here and looked everyone in the eye."
Womack said he gave the names to Gurwitch, a fellow Republican, because "it's a party matter, in my perspective."
Information regarding voter fraud has been presented to the local and state board resulting in no action, Womack said.
"The fact is I have repeatedly given them information and evidence of voter fraud," Womack said. "Neither the county and state have taken any action to pursue that. Imagine my disappointment. Only recently has it come back up so they can take action."
Information, including the names of those accused of voter fraud, was provided in 2010, 2012 and to Gurwitch, Womack said.
"This is not new news," Womack said. "My allegations date back to 2010 and they decide in December 2012, a few months before the elections board (terms are) set to expire, to do something. It appears that want to make it political."
Womack said he is interested in eliminating voter fraud, regardless of political party.
"This should not be a political issue," he said. "It's a matter of principle and not politics."
In an email from Womack to N.C. Board of Elections Field Auditor Joe Patton dated Oct. 20, 2011, Womack claims he met two people who sold their absentee ballots to "a local Democrat operative" for $10 each during the fall 2010 election.

Lawrence Ray Radliff, 77, of Vandalia passed away at 9:31 a.m. on Thursday, July 23, 2015, at home.
The investigation that resulted in the former chairman of the Fayette County Board being cleared of official misconduct allegations included interviews of about 20 people.
The investigation into County Clerk and Recorder Vicky Conder's claim of being intimidated by Steve Knebel included interviews with most of the county board members and several county officers.
Conder claimed that Knebel threatened to cut her office's budget if she did not hire an individual he was recommending for a position in her office.
Marty Huskey, Vandalia's water plant superintendent announced this afternoon a boil order for all city water customers.
The boil order is necessary as a result of the cleaning work being done on the water tower at the country club.
The boil order is in effect until further notice.
Effingham – Early on Wednesday, an Illinois State Police District 12 Trooper located an Ohio child identified in an early morning Amber Alert.
At approximately 2:22 a.m. on Wednesday, District 12 telecommunications advised troopers of an Amber Alert issued by the Ohio State Highway Patrol (Jefferson County, Ohio).
The Amber Alert indicated a 7-year-old girl was abducted by her estranged father, Matthew Scott Montgomery, and was possibly en route to Missouri via Interstate 70.
The Vandalia City Council approved on Monday a spending plan for the coming year that includes a number of capital improvement projects that have been postponed for several years.
Not among those projects is the replacement of a bridge on Thrill Hill Road between U.S. Route 51 and Zent Drive.
The appropriations ordinance for the new fiscal year has expenditures estimated at $9,154,165 and revenues at $9,037,639.
The $116,526 deficit is due in large part to a deficit of $255,518 in the capital improvement fund.
Just a few years ago, the Fayette County Farm Bureau held its annual crop survey a little early, due to weather conditions that put corn and soybeans ahead of schedule.
There's no chance of that this year.
Rain, both the amount and when it fell, has affected the growth of crops in places throughout the county. It has also caused replanting and delayed when the replanting could be done.
"I talked to some farmers last week who were still planting beans," said Stephanie Kraus, manager of the Farm Bureau offices in Fayette and Bond counties.
"Sing unto the Lord a new song, and His praise in the assembly of saints."
Psalm 149:1
By Charlene M. Jett
OK, here is the scoop. Evergreen Outreach had the best party in town. At Fayette County Hospital and Long Term Care, we ate, clapped hands, sang, danced and created very slightly mischievous good times. We are OK, as long as that angel peeking around the corner (Pastor James Fackler) keeps his eye on us.
A little more than 100 years ago, Henry Ford's son stopped over in Vandalia as he and some of his friends were on one of this country's earliest road trips. On Sunday, a crew stopped here as they re-create that trip.

Roots Manuva, born Rodney Smith is a British hip-hop artist, who mixes hip hop with reggae and dub as well as electronica, and even some gospel. He grew up around Stockwell in South London. His parents were from a small village in Jamaica called Banana Hole where his father was a preacher and tailor. Spending much of his early years in poverty, this and his strict Pentecostal upbringing clearly had an influence on his music as can be seen in many of his tracks such as "Sinny Sin Sins" and "Colossal Insight".

WASHINGTON, D.C. People who use Facebook and Twitter are less likely than others to share their opinions on hot-button issues, even when they are offline, according to a surprising new survey by the Pew Research Center.
The study, done in conjunction with Rutgers University in New Jersey, challenges the view of social media as a vehicle for debate by suggesting that sites like Facebook and Twitter might actually encourage self-censorship. Researchers said they detect what they call the spiral of silence phenomenon: Unless people know their audience agrees, they are likely to shy away from discussing anything controversial.
In other words, most of us are more comfortable with ice-bucket challenges than political banter.
People do not tend to be using social media for this type of important political discussion. And if anything, it may actually be removing conversation from the public sphere, said Keith Hampton, a communications professor at Rutgers University who helped conduct the study.
The survey was conducted shortly after Edward Snowden acknowledged leaking classified intelligence that exposed widespread government surveillance of Americans phone and email records. Hampton said the Snowden case provided researchers with a concrete example of a major national issue that divided Americans and dominated news coverage.
Of the 1,801 adults surveyed, 86 percent they would be willing to discuss their views about government surveillance if it came up at various in-person scenarios, such as at a public meeting, at work or at a restaurant with friends. But just 42 percent of Facebook or Twitter users said they would be willing to post online about it.
Whats more, the typical Facebook user someone who logs onto the site a few times per day was actually half as likely to discuss the Snowden case at a public meeting as a non-Facebook user. Someone who goes on Twitter a few times per day was one-quarter as likely to share opinions in the workplace compared with those who never use Twitter.
Only when a person felt that their Facebook network agreed with their opinion were they twice as likely to join a site discussion on the issue, the survey found.
Another finding was that social media didnt make it easier for people to share opinions they wouldnt otherwise share. Of the 14 percent of Americans unwilling to discuss the Snowden case with others in person, fewer than one-half of 1 percent were willing to discuss it on social media.
Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Research Center Internet Project, said its possible that social media actually sensitize people to different opinions.
Because they use social media, they may know more about the depth of disagreement over the issue in their wide circle of contacts, he said. This might make them hesitant to speak up either online or offline for fear of starting an argument, offending or even losing a friend.
While many people might say keeping political debate off Facebook is a matter of tact, Hampton said there is a concern that a persons fear of offending someone on social media stifles debate.
A society where people arent able to share their opinions openly and gain from understanding alternative perspectives is a polarized society, he said.

PITTSFIELD - The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has declared a State of Emergency as it prepares for the possibility of nearly 3 feet of snow, and all travel is now banned on all state roads.
"2 or 3 feet of snow in this period of time is a profoundly different kind of storm than we have dealt with in the time that you and i have been doing this," said Patrick.
Governor Patrick says the ban on travel throughout the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts does not apply to emergency workers, utilities, essential deliveries and the media.
Although the purpose is not to penalize offenders, defying the emergency order carries the possibility of a year in jail and a $500 fine.
While Berkshire County may not see the blizzard conditions that the Boston area will, it could up to 2 feet of snow.

04/07/2013 – The women's softball team opened up the home portion of their schedule with a pair of victories over Concordia. The Saints improved to 14-11 on the season and to 2-2 in the WHAC, while the Cardinals fell to 12-9-1 overall and to 0-4 in league play.
The Saints offense gave Rebecca Shineldecker (3-7) plenty of support in game one as they accounted for 10 runs on 13 hits. The power surge was ignited by Jenn Woolard in the second inning. A two-run shot off Corrina Rotondo gave the Saints the early advantage. The fireworks continue to spark in the fourth as Courtney Bishop drove in a run with a double and Irma Cruz singled to score two more. The big blow in the inning came off the bat of lead off hitter Lindsey Stewart. Stewart's homer to center capped the inning an extended the Saints lead to 6-0. Shineldecker would do the rest as she went six strong as she allowed two runs on three hits while striking out eight. The Saints added runs in the fifth and sixth with Stewart once again playing hero driving in a pair. The Saints closed out the Cardinals 10-2 in six innings.
The pitchers played center stage for both teams in game two. Carlie Giarmo (7-3) had a very solid outing allowing one run on three hits. Giarmo's counterpart, Kortney Loar, was equally as impressive as she allowed two runs and scattered nine hits. The Saints offense struck first with a lone run in the first inning. A single off the bat of Sadie Stowell allowed Lindsey Stewart to cross home. The Cardinals tied the score with a home run in the fifth by Ashley Chang. The score would remain tied until the bottom half of the seventh when Stowell's walk-off single secured the 2-1 victory and the sweep of Concordia.
The Saints will return to the field on Sunday with a home doubleheader versus Siena Heights at 1 p.m.

More From Sema…
A few of us from FTLC decided to fly into Vegas for the SEMA show Tuesday afternoon while the rest of the crew drove out the weekend prior. Tim, Daniel and I would make a quick trip out of it, just stay overnight and fly back to the Bay the next evening. Being that this was my first time to SEMA, I have learned that staying for a day and half is not enough time to cover everything. I found most of my time waiting for people to pass so I can snap a photo, it's not the easiest thing to do. When we first arrived late Tuesday afternoon, the first person to approach us was Top Gear USA host, Rutledge Wood. He was extremely excited to check out Pandora One in the flesh. Rutledge rocks !llest! How cool is that?
On the corners of the Falken booth stood their LFA and S5. The rear end of the LFA is just amazing, so aggressive. The S5 was sitting pretty on Rotiforms.
They must like carbon fiber.
Good Lord.
I have always wanted to drive one of these rock climbers on a rock course or in a canyon. This one looked especially bad ass.
This was impressive.
I'm loving this Fisker Karma! Why can't all electric vehicles be this cool?
The Falken GT3 is always a head turner.
Being a muscle head at heart, this Shelby won my heart. Going to SEMA this year could of been a good and a bad thing. It ignited my love for good old American muscle again but at the same time, got me thinking about building a project domestic. My wallet is going to hate me…
Congrats to Jon Sibal for winning the Scion Tuner Challenge, such a cool looking car!
Concept to Reality? God I hope so…
We stopped by the Honda booth to check out the Honda Civic Si the guys from Tjin built. I would LOVE to have this as a daily driver!
Tim was loving this.
Our time was running short so we made a quick pass outside the convention center on the way to catch a cab to the airport…
Well, thats it for now. Vegas, Thank You again. Stay tuned for more coverage from our other bloggers!

nicely done Andy!

Notes to answers
1. This was the one that AQA 63336 got wrong. The first psychiatric hospital in the UK was the Bethlem Royal Hospital, which was originally opened in 1247 as a priory, but then admitted psychiatric patients from 1357.
2. AQA 63336 also provided an alternative answer to this question, stating that Alcatraz is derived from gannet, which Watchdog marked as incorrect. However, showing that even BBC–researched programmes aren't infallible, further research by AQA 63336 shows that Alcatraz does mean gannet too. Interestingly, Juan Manuel de Ayala, who named the island Isla de los Alcatraces, really saw cormorants.
