UW-RF and PK-16 Members Strive for Quality Education
By Sarah Matara
UW-RF News Bureau
Ensuring that children receive a quality education is a cornerstone of American society and at UW-River Falls, it is of the utmost importance.
Members of the UW-RF faculty have joined forces with area educators to ensure that quality education continues and improves by forming a PK-16 Council.
A PK-16 council is a voluntary body composed of educational leaders and teachers from pre-kindergarten through college level that meet to create a seamless education system. Their goal is to promote access to education, student achievement, excellent teaching standards and lifelong learning.
The objective is to improve communication between school districts, universities and colleges and technical colleges so everyone knows the needs of the other.
Members of a PK-16 council believe that the quality of higher education is directly affected by the quality of PK-12 education, and the quality of a student's learning is directly affected by the quality of teaching.
The main goals for the PK-16 Council include building a statewide network for increased collaboration, information sharing and cooperation; increasing student readiness to succeed in postsecondary education by improving the quality of PK-12 teacher preparation and professional development; and aligning high academic standards for PK-12 students with postsecondary education.
Twenty-four states are participating in statewide PK-16 efforts. The UW System Board of Regents developed PK-16 initiatives in response to the 2000 UW System Economic Summit, where a main focus of the summit was the role of quality education in the advancement of the economic vitality of Wisconsin.
In 2002, UW-River Falls expanded the existing St. Croix Valley Education Partnership into the Greater St. Croix Valley PK-16 Council. There are 25-30 working members.
The organization is comprised of teachers, principals, central office administrators and school board members from 16 area school districts; representatives from CESA 11, the Department of Public Instruction and Chippewa Valley and Wisconsin Indianhead Technical Colleges; selected UW-RF teacher education and arts and sciences faculty; deans, Provost Ginny Coombs and Chancellor Ann Lydecker.
Dean Connie Foster of the College of Education and Professional Studies said the PK-16 partnership between educators is vital to the education system.
"In order to train quality teachers, we have to know what schools need and what we should be doing to provide them with quality teachers."
The Council focuses on four priority issues: common in-service training, new teacher mentoring, PI-34 implementation for teacher certification, and the literacy/numeracy institute.
Common in-service gives smaller school districts the chance to pool their resources for training and professional development that an individual district could not provide.
Foster uses the example of a small school district that has one art instructor. Through PK-16, the art instructor can attend a class or a workshop with other art instructors from other school districts and gain the opportunity of exchanging ideas and resources that he or she otherwise would not have had.
New teacher mentoring pairs experienced teachers with teachers just entering the profession to provide insight and advice.
Mary Manke, assistant dean of the UW-RF College of Education and Professional Studies, said that new teachers are more likely to stay in teaching if they have someone to confide in.
"Forty percent or more teachers leave after five years of teaching. With someone to turn to, they are more likely to stay," Manke said.
PI-34 is a relatively new rule in Wisconsin that governs the qualifications for the licensure of teachers. Currently, teachers are required to take six credits of classes every five years. Under the new requirements for the PI-34 rule, teachers must outline how they are going to improve their teaching and develop professionally in five-year increments. For new teachers, a University faculty member must mentor them for one year. Manke said it should be for longer, but someone has to train the mentors.
The concept of the literacy/numeracy institute is related to the No Child Left Behind Act, a federal law that requires all children to be evaluated through standardized tests to see if they are making sufficient progress, especially in reading and arithmetic.
If school districts cannot show that their students are making sufficient progress, there can be severe penalties. The PK-16 Council will assist teachers to know how to ensure that kids are making adequate progress.
Manke said that these initiatives are in the early planning stages.
"There are big changes in the education of teachers and children. We need to do a lot of planning and thinking in order to ensure that we are doing what the laws require."
UW-RF develops and provides quality, innovative workshops, classes and certification programs for teachers dedicated to developing professionally and lifelong learning. The programs are practical, flexible, convenient, affordable and offered in various locations.
Teachers and students may take classes for credit only without being enrolled in a graduate degree or certificate program.
For those interested in pursuing a master's degree, UW-RF offers a master of science in agricultural education and a master of science in education-elementary education, fine arts, literature, communication and language arts, math, reading or sciences. Classes can be taken in the summer.
Various workshops are also scheduled periodically. One held this semester, titled "Surviving the High School Musical," provided teachers with information on choosing the right play, coaching vocalists and choreographing scenes.
Self-paced and distance learning courses allow teachers to take courses at their own pace, whenever it is convenient for them. Some can be taken online, while others require access to a television and VCR.
One example is a course titled "Increasing Student Self-Esteem," where teachers learn to recognize the causes of low self-esteem, build students' self-esteem and motivate students to reach their potential.
UW-RF also offers certificate and licensure programs in learning disabilities, principal licensure and reading.
The University has also been host to a PK-16 Model Academy, in which teams of university faculty and PK-12 teachers plan how to work together on improving certain content areas. The first academy held at UW-RF was in 2001. Manke said it was a huge success and it helped teachers and University faculty forge enduring partnerships to ensure that students receive quality education at all levels. In 2004, the academy will look at music, art and modern languages.

Richard Bachman's new mask pays tribute to `The Shining,' Stephen King
Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen has used all sorts of movie themes in his past masks, so why shouldn't fellow Dallas netminder Richard Bachman do the same thing.
Playing off the fact that Stephen King used "Richard Bachman" as a pen name in the past, artist David Gunnarsson gave Bachman a mask that's a tribute to "The Shining," with an iconic picture of Jack Nicholson.
Also, you can see some of Lehtonen's past masks here.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Graham Harrell rides a bike from practice after the first day of training camp at Ray Nitschke Field in Green Bay on Friday. / Lukas Keapproth/Press-Gazette Media
Training camp practice
When: 8:20 a.m. Saturday and Sunday
Where: Ray Nitschke Field with good weather
Live broadcast
Press-Gazette Media's Packers beat reporters will give some insight into what fans can expect at training camp each day with a live broadcast at 8 a.m. called "Camp Insiders Live" online at greenbaypressgazette.com.
Upcoming training camp activities
• Today – Packers 5K Run at Lambeau Field, 6:30 p.m.
The bikes. The kids. The ritual.
It's Packers training camp. And it's back.
Despite Friday's gloomy weather, fans turned out for the kickoff of the summer practice season for the Green Bay Packers. The team will practice through Aug. 28 and preseason games start Aug. 9 against the Arizona Cardinals.
The tradition of players riding children's bikes from Lambeau Field to the practice fields started during head coach Vince Lombardi's tenure as the head coach in the 1960s. He saw it as a way for the players to interact with the fans; rookies and first-year players learn about the tradition.
Five-year-old Clay Yaeso got second-year inside linebacker Terrell Manning to ride his bike from Ray Nitschke Field across the street to Lambeau Field after practice.
Clay came to training camp with his 8-year-old brother Jason and his mom, Jody Yaeso, who said she has a personal connection to the team through her great-grandfather James Francois.
"My great-grandfather played for the original team and my husband grew up in Ashwaubenon," the 43-year-old Yaeso said. "So he used to ride his bike and he had David Whitehurst as a player so he wanted our boys to have the experience."
During Friday morning's practice, the stands by the field filled up quickly so many people were standing by the fence. That was good enough for Terrie Herro, who donned her bright green Donald Driver jersey.
Herro's two children, who live in Arizona, surprised herin March when they told her they were taking her to training camp for a birthday present; she turns 60 on Saturday. She brought along her dog Shadow for the trip and had a full weekend planned.
"We're going through the Hall of Fame today, we went on the stadium tour yesterday and we're going to Donald Driver Drive so I can hang from the sign," Herro said Friday.
Many parents brought their children to training camp on Friday.
Green Bay resident Joshua Starner brought his son Brayden, who will turn 2 on Sunday, to Friday's practice for his first Packers experience. Starner said the best part of training camp is being so close to the players because "when you're in the stadium you're not as close to them and you can't see and hear them."
Gerene Thom's three sons held signs to catch the attention of their favorite players to pick their bikes.
"I think when you get (to be) their consistent rider it's just nice to get to know them a little bit," Thom said. "B.J. Coleman was great with our son, he gave him some cool advice about keeping a short memory if you're going to be an athlete and just some really nice things that they learned from the players just by talking to them."

It was determined that employment of the Newark Beth Israel Hospital (NBIH) intracardiac dipolar electrode for temporary cardiac pacing in preparation of patients for permanent pacemaker implantation or other operation is a dependable and easily performed procedure. The dipolar electrode was found most effective when positioned at any site in the right ventricle where the lowest driving voltage is required. Endocardial contact was not necessary. The optimal distance between electrodes was 1 cm or less, the need thus being obviated for an external indifferent electrode. Endocardial or myocardial damage was not demonstrated. Subsequent major operation was uneventful when cardiac rate and rhythmicity were controlled. Confidence of the patient was markedly improved. Poor-risk patients were well supported. Patients were ambulatory. Formation of clot on the positive pole of a tripolar or coaxial catheter was not demonstrated in animals.

on thesixtyone,
new artists make music
& listeners decide what's good
[flash is required for playing music]
Arch Enemy is a melodic death metal band from Halmstad, Sweden, and formed in 1995.
Arch Enemy, the brainchild of Michael Amott (ex-Carcass, Carnage and Spiritual Beggars) was originally assembled from the ashes of legendary British gore-grind band Carcass. Guitarists Michael Amott and younger brother Christopher Amott were joined by vocalist Johan Liiva (ex-Carnage, NonExist) and then-session drummer Daniel Erlandsson (Armageddon, Eucharist) in what Michael Amott called "An attempt to merge melody with aggression and technicality."
The band's debut, entitled Black Earth, was released by the now defunct Wrong Again Records in 1996. It obtained a fair amount of success in Japan, achieving MTV rotation with their first single "Bury Me An Angel", as well as moderate success in Sweden. More of a 'solo effort' than a full band at this point, Michael Amott wrote all the songs himself, and even played bass guitar on the album - contrary to the album's liner notes, which listed vocalist Johan Liiva as handling bass duties. Michael Amott later revealed that he had the credits listed that way to make the album seem more of a "band" effort. Many consider it to be the band's most aggressive album, a trait which was softened to some degree on their following releases, but which was never abandoned.
After the release of Black Earth, the band switched labels, signing a contract with Century Media. In 1998, Arch Enemy released Stigmata, for which bassist Martin Bengtsson and drummer Peter Wildoer joined the band. This album obtained the attention of a wider audience, reaching popularity both in Europe and America. This was also the first Arch Enemy album to be released worldwide.
In 1999, Sharlee D'Angelo assumed the role of Arch Enemy's permanent bassist and Daniel Erlandsson was once again recruited to handle drum duties; this time, on a permanent basis. Burning Bridges was released and was soon followed by the live album Burning Japan Live 1999, which was initially a release limited to Japan, but later given worldwide distribution due to demands from fans. Burning Bridges marked a shift in Arch Enemy's core sound, now opting for a more melodic approach, while still keeping the brutal heaviness of the first two albums.
In 2001, vocalist Johan Liiva was asked to quit the band. Michael Amott stated that he wanted a more 'dynamic frontman', and that Liiva's live performance was not up to par with the rest of the band. Liiva was soon replaced by amateur German journalist and death metal vocalist Angela Gossow, who had given a demo tape to Michael Amott earlier that year during an interview she had conducted with him. Despite rumours of Gossow being chosen to join the band solely due to her romantic involvement with Michael Amott, she proved to be a competent singer and was received warmly by most fans.
The first album with songs featuring Gossow was "Wages of Sin", released in late 2001. On December of the same year, Arch Enemy took part in the "Japan's Beast Feast 2002" concert, playing alongside Slayer and Motörhead.
Anthems of Rebellion was released in 2003 and brought some innovations, such as the use of a second voice singing in harmony in the song "End of the Line". In November of the following year, the band released the EP Dead Eyes See No Future, which featured live recordings, along with covers of Manowar, Megadeth and Carcass songs. In June of 2005, the band finished the recording of their sixth album — Doomsday Machine. In July of 2005, guitarist Christopher Amott left the band in order to focus on his personal life. Christopher later stated that he "wasn't feeling creative musically" in Arch Enemy, and that he "just wasn't into (the band) anymore". Christopher was then a music teacher in Sweden, and also attended a university. He was temporarily replaced by guitarist Gus G. (ex-Dream Evil, Firewind) and then by Fredrik Åkesson on a permanent basis.
In March 2007 the band's official homepage stated that Christopher Amott is returning to Arch Enemy with immediate effect, in time to appear on their next album, Rise of the Tyrant, which was released on September of 2007.

LEWISTON, Idaho – While Lebanon was sleeping in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, Cumberland's Sam Lind collected four hits and Lind and Brady North each drove in three runs while Kevin T. Greene and Stevie Smith limited No. 1 Oklahoma Baptist to just seven hits in a 13-5 victory at Harris Field in the 58th Annual Avista-NAIA World Series.
The teams were more than an hour late getting started when the previous game lasted 12 innings. When the Bulldogs and Bison started playing, they had to be pulled off the field twice for lightning delays totaling two hours and 18 minutes. The game ended just after 3 a.m. CDT and 1 a.m. in Lewiston.
The 23rd-ranked Bulldogs (48-19) remained the only unbeaten team in the tournament, which is now down to four teams. Cumberland will face second-ranked Lewis-Clark State for the second time in the event tonight at 8:30 p.m. CDT.
Cumberland scored twice in the first and added single runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings, but a two-run double from OBU's Mason Ankeney and a sacrifice fly by Ridge Hoopii-Haslam, both in the sixth, tied the contest at five.
The Bulldogs responded with five runs in the bottom of the inning, taking advantage of two walks and two hit batters to go along with two hits, including a two-run single from Lind and North's third sacrifice fly of the game.
Greene (5-4) pitched very well for five innings before running out of gas in the sixth, but the lefthander still picked up the win. He allowed five runs, three earned, on five hits with three walks and three strikeouts.
Smith got his first save of the year with three scoreless innings in his first appearance since April 12. He gave up two hits and struck out a pair.
Chris Hall and Ricky Coleman each scored three times for CU and Justin Byrd, Tyler Anderson, Richie Seaton and Coleman all collected two hits apiece for the Bulldogs.
OBU starter Jordan Morales lasted five innings, allowing five runs on eight hits with three strikeouts. Andrew Millner (4-2) suffered the loss, giving up five runs on just two hits with two walks and two hit batters in two-thirds of an inning.
Both teams started quickly, with Joey Szczepanski and Jeff Ricker leading off with singles for the Bison (55-8), but Greene retired the next two hitters before a ground ball to North at first, but he kicked it and then made a bad throw to Greene at first, with the ball getting past the pitcher and into the dugout, allowing Szczepanski to score on the play.
The Bulldogs bounced back in their half of the inning with a leadoff single from Hall, who went to second on a balk. Coleman's chopper to center tied the game and he moved to second when the throw to the plate sailed high. Lind followed with a single to left, his 100th hit of the season, putting runners on the corners, before lightning halted play for 83 minutes.
When play resumed North belted a deep fly ball down the left-field line, plating Coleman, for the 2-1 edge.
OBU tied the contest in the third thanks to another CU error after a one-out walk to Matt Page. After a 55-minute lightning delay, Page stole second on a delayed steal and scored when Ivan Vela's grounder to first got by North into right field.
Cumberland reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the inning, though, when Coleman and Lind had back-to-back two-out doubles. In the fourth Josciel Veras was hit on the first pitch of the inning, went to second on Byrd's groundout and third on a wild pitch. Seaton's single through the middle off the glove of the pitcher drove home another run for a 4-2 CU advantage.
Hall led off the fifth with a walk and stole second before Lind collected his third hit of the game with a single to center. North's second sacrifice fly of the game extended the CU lead to 5-2.
Oklahoma Baptist took advantage of free passes to Garrett Roberts and Kevin Hatch in the sixth. Ankeney's double turned Hall all sorts of directions in leftfield and after a wild pitch, pinch-runner Shakeel Newton scored on Hoopii-Haslem's sac fly to right, knotting the score at five.
Cumberland responded in the bottom of the inning, with Anderson greeting Millner with a single up the middle. Seaton walked and Bryan Haney and Hall were both hit, forcing in a run. Lind's chopper got under the glove of Hoopii-Haslem, scoring two runs, and North added another sac fly. Lind later scored thanks to a pair of wild pitcher for a 10-5 advantage.
The Bulldogs tacked on three more runs in the eighth, starting with a walk and a stolen base by Coleman. He scored when Veras' grounder was booted by OBU shortstop Ivan Vela and after a Byrd single, Anderson plated the final two runs with a double to left-center.

My last studio visit for this blog is with Zezão, one of Brazil's best known street artists today. Considering his initial working method, I wonder how that came about, since Zezão's art is rather secret, hidden and happening where it would not be seen normally. But more about that later...
When Zezão writes that he resides in Mairiporã in the North of São Paulo, I become very curious and decide to travel all the way out there to see this far away place he lives and works at. On a Friday morning I take the metro to the last stop and ask around if there is a bus going to my final destination. I find out there isn't and so I decide to take a taxi. When I tell the address to my lovely driver, she knows more or less where to go. We travel further and further up into the mountains on a serpentine road enclosed by rampant rainforest shrubs and trees. At one point, we need to stop to ask for the way. The man we ask is working on some handicraft in a small hut at the side of the road. He can't help us, but luckily my driver calls a friend that knows the area by heart, and so we finally arrive. Zezão lives and works in a big beautiful villa surrounded by uncontrolled sprouting tropical plants. In the large garden, unleashed dogs are running around. Zezão's wife Vanessa saves them from the streets and nurses them if they are injured. The day I visit, a 13th dog arrives as new family member.
Traces of Zezão's art can be found everywhere in this impressive setting. The wall of the pool holds one of his trademark winding blue artworks, and he explains that his next project is to paint the inside of the basin as well. After a tour around the house, we go inside, drink coffee and Zezão shows me photos of his works that he documents accurately. They are spread out all over and under the city of São Paulo and in other urban areas around the world, as in the Paris catacombs and even in the town of Lüneburg in the North of Germany.
Never having attended an art school, Zezão started doing graffiti in 1995, in the form of the characteristic pixação tags shaping the streets of São Paulo. He explains that he belongs to the third generation of graffiti artists in Brazil. In 1998, he saw the film "Basquiat" by painter and director Julian Schnabel, a movie about the American graffiti and neo-expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Zezão explains that it was with this movie that he came to understand the freedom and liberty in art and that it does not need to be beautiful in a classical sense in order to communicate and be meaningful. He started experimenting with colour and form, while looking for abandoned locations to spray and paint. Zezão tells me that he has always been attracted to ruins and places that we would commonly rather describe as ugly, and that are far away from the malls and helicopters of São Paulo, in the outskirts of the city where people have little hope and expectations for the future. Finding it difficult to paint undisturbed and without getting into trouble with the police or residents, he realised that he needed to find a different place to paint: Zezão decided to go underground.

CHAMBERSBURG >> Chambersburg Area School District must reinstate Cathy Dusman as assistant superintendent of elementary services while it pursues an appeal.
Dusman had requested that she be given her former job back until CASD's appeal to stop that from happening is decided in the state Commonwealth Court. Franklin County Judge Douglas Herman granted her request on Monday.
Herman on April 28 ordered CASD to immediately reinstate Dusman, who took legal action in May 2013 based on the belief that the district did not give her the 150-day notice that was required if her contract would not be renewed. CASD filed an appeal on May 8.
That filing initiated what is called "automatic supersedeas," a legal scenario that automatically enabled CASD to put the brakes on Dusman's reinstatement until the appellate process is completed.
Dusman, through her attorney Jack Sharpe, filed an application to vacate the automatic supersedeas. Herman granted that request.
CASD's legal counsel, Levin Legal Group, had filed the appeal without the school board publicly voting on it. Herman later found that the action violated the state's Sunshine Law, which calls for open decision-making, and ordered CASD to stop pursuing its appeal. CASD filed appeal against that order.
The school board on June 19 then declined to pass a resolution to affirm the filing of the appeal.

Scout Willis
Offense: MIP, criminal impersonation, and violating open-container laws
We're sure all Demi Moore wanted following a humiliating cheating scandal and the public collapse of her marriage to Ashton Kutcher was a reprieve from the harsh glare of the limelight. But thanks to daughter Scout Willis' underage drinking, it wasn't to be. Demi's middle child dragged the family back into the headlines on June 4 when cops spotted her drinking a beer in public. Scout, who was just a month shy of the legal drinking age, attempted to pass off a fake ID when she was stopped for violating open-container laws. Smart move, Scout!

CHAMBERSBURG - A Newville man is facing charges after he participated in a drug deal with a police informant he believed to be a buyer.
Richard Allan Fogelsonger Jr., 41, of 16 Mountain View Terrace, who also goes by the first name Shawn, is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Tuesday in Franklin County Central Court on charges of distribution or sale of a non-controlled substance and criminal use of a communication facility.
On Oct. 7 at 11:42 p.m., Fogelsonger met with the police informant at Sheetz, 1 Monticello Court, to deliver $150 worth of pills, according to a police affidavit filed on April 29.
Fogelsonger told the informant that the pills were ecstasy, also known as MDMA, which is a Schedule II controlled substance, police said. According to police, Fogelsonger used a cellular phone to facilitate the delivery.
During the deal, the informant was outfitted with an audio and video recording device for the purpose of recording their conversation, police said.
After the deal, though, a lab report was received from the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Forensic Services and no controlled substance was found in the pills, police said.
According to court records, Fogelsonger was charged in 2008 with six counts of bad checks in Franklin County.
He was also charged with two counts of theft in 2004 - once in Adams County and once in Mercer County, court records state.
In 2003, he was charged with six counts of theft, two counts of forgery and one count of criminal trespass in Franklin County, court records state.
In 1996, Fogelsonger was charged in Franklin County with four counts of theft, two counts of forgery, four counts of receiving stolen property, three counts of unlawful use of a computer to destroy data and one count of criminal mischief, court records state.
He was also charged in 1993 in Franklin County with four counts of procuring for self or others a drug by forgery, four counts of theft, and four counts of conspiracy to violate odometer requirements, court records state.

MINNEAPOLIS — The latest Rangers mystery — what's wrong with Colby Lewis? — isn't really a mystery at all.
You leave pitches up in the strike zone, particularly in the upper 80s, and a team of major league hitters, regardless of how ugly their offensive stats, is going to tee off. Early in the week, Detroit's strong lineup buffeted Lewis with home runs. On Saturday, Minnesota's cast of injury replacements proved to be just as dangerous.
On the way to an 8-1 win, Minnesota scored five times in the first inning and forced Lewis' exit with one out in the second. It was his shortest outing since he returned to the majors for the start of the 2010 season. The previous shortest: Monday's 31/3-inning effort against Detroit, in which he allowed four homers.
The Twins, missing Joe Mauer, Denard Span, Jason Kubel and Jim Thome, may not have been as adept at driving the ball as Detroit, but they kept stringing together hits against Lewis' heart-of-the-plate fastballs. Ultimately, the results were the same. Big innings.
"He just couldn't get the ball down," said manager Ron Washington, who added he has no intention of pulling Lewis out of the rotation. "He couldn't hit his spots. They are a major league team. You put the ball up in the middle of the zone and … even at 59 years old, I'll hit that."
According to Brooks Baseball, a website that tracks the MLB PitchFx program for charting pitches, Lewis hit the bottom quarter of the strike zone with just eight of 52 pitches. Against Detroit, he hit the quarter of the zone with just 10 of 88 pitches. On both occasions, it led to hitters simply taking anything low and waiting for something juicier to hit. The result: Hitters are 17-for-31 (.548) against him in his last two outings.
On the other hand, when Lewis had eight shutout innings at Tampa Bay on June 1, he hit the bottom quarter of the zone 19 times in his 113 pitches. And many of those were early in the game. That forced the Rays to swing at anything near the zone. Lewis ended up with five swings and misses on balls low and away to right-handers. And his command of the zone also rewarded him with a couple of called strikes in on right-handers that, according to the strike zone graphic, were off the plate.
The results lead to questions about Lewis' health, but Lewis, whose ERA rose to 4.97, waved those off. It's simply a question of location.
"I didn't think I made too many bad pitches," Lewis said of Saturday's start. "But I left them up just enough where they could do something. Things escalated very fast."
Did they ever. Ben Revere led off the bottom of the first with a looping single to right. Alexi Casilla followed with a single to right. After a sacrifice fly, Lewis walked consecutive hitters and then Brian Dinkleman, with no major league RBIs in his career, blooped a ball into the gap in right center to score two runs. It was 5-0. Lewis had one out. He had already thrown 27 pitches.
In the second, he allowed a leadoff double — the only extra base hit among the seven hits he surrendered — and a run-scoring single to Delmon Young. It left Washington no choice but to remove him.
"Sometimes you get away with mistakes," Washington said. "But they took advantage every time he elevated the ball. If he gets the ball down, he'll be fine."
And if he doesn't do that soon, the Rangers may have to start considering alternatives to him in the rotation.

If social media strategy is a game of chess, Content will be the King on the chest board.
Broadly speaking, There are 3 main types of Content : Original, Co-created and User-generated.
In the Web 1.0 era, all commercial messages are taken in its entirety without question.
In Web 2.0 where interactivity is the key, the social media community no longer make buying decision based on original content like advertising campaigns, regular promotion, celebrities' endorsement, brochures, exhibition, etc.
Social Media has shifted the power of broadcasting to anyone who can create his unique content on their own.
No longer will companies be able to dominate the market space with original content without some forms of collaboration with the social brand ambassadors.
This collaboration gives rise to co-created content on social platforms through videos and pictures. In original content, the focus is on the Product.
Co-created Content is often produced with collaboration among different stakeholders in the social media community.
There are still some levels of control over such content.
User-generated Content is the most creative and convincing content of all as it is produced entirely and jointly by different target audiences.
A company usually have no control at all of its development and extent of reach.
In all user-generated content, the focus is on the brand's popularity.Pin It

UPDATE: Further Cancellations From Bremerton Ferry Damage
If you were on the 12:50 a.m. sailing from Seattle on the Yakima this morning, we'd like to hear from you. Contact Ed Friedrich at (360) 475-3792.
Click here to reach the Kitsap Sun's Commuter Center, which contains the latest information on ferry delays.
Three cracks in the Yakima ferry's hull created during an early-morning accident at the Bremerton dock have been sealed and the vessel will be towed to Eagle Harbor this morning for repairs, according to the state ferries system. The route will be on a one-boat schedule while a WSF contingency team examines options to add a vessel.
The boat pulled into the terminal a little crooked at about 1:50 a.m., backed past the dolphins to make another attempt, and was blown north about 400 feet, striking the end of the new breakwater being built for the Bremerton marina, according to ferries officials. The collision caused three cracks in one compartment of the hull, one 8 inches and two 4 inches long, and water was seeping through them before temporary repairs were made.
All sailings from Seattle and Bremerton that were schedule for the Yakima have been canceled, according to the WSF ferry schedule. The only departures scheduled from Bremerton Friday are now the 4:15 p.m., 6:40 p.m., 9 p.m. and 11:40 p.m.
The Yakima, a super-class boat capable of carrying 2,500 passengers and 144 vehicles, had been switched to the Bremerton-Seattle route on Jan. 28, when WSF removed it from sailing in the San Juan Islands due to a "deep weeping pit" that officials worried could be exacerbated by the more open water.
A witness aboard the Yakima said the boat jolted when it was coming into the terminal, and then "drifted" back out into the Puget Sound. After a few minutes, the ferry docked, and while ferry officials apologized for the delay, they declined to elaborate on what had happened, the witness said.
The 7:20 a.m. and the 10:15 a.m. sailings from Bremerton use the vessel Kitsap, an Issaquah 130 class boat that has room for 1,200 passengers and 124 vehicles. There are no reported delays aboard the Kitsap.
A rider on the 7:20 boat said passengers were forced to stand due to the number of holdovers from the 6:20 a.m. sailing.
The cancellations are the latest in a slew of ferry woes. On Thursday morning, the vessel Snohomish, a passenger-only boat, was rocked by a massive wave en route to Keystone from Port Townsend that partially flooded it.

Terra Firma Chairman Guy Hands made some barbed comments about the banking and hedge-fund industries in a keynote address at a conference at Harvard Business School over the weekend.
Speaking at the Harvard Business School Venture Capital and Private Equity conference about his first 40 years in the private-equity industry, Mr. Hands warned students: "If you are looking for a career just focusing on making money please don't come in to the private-equity industry. If just making money is what motivates you then focus instead on the banking industry or the hedge-fund industry."
He added that students motivated by making money should "leave private equity and the creation of long term value to those of us who love making businesses better".
When it comes to EMI Group, Guy Hands just can't let go.
When Citigroup unceremoniously seized control of the music company from Mr. Hands' Terra Firma Capital in February, people close to the irascible British financier said he was ready to move on–to other deals, and ultimately raising another fund.
It was not hard to understand why he would want to put the EMI saga behind him; not only had he lost a fortune on it, but it will undoubtedly go down as one of the worst private-equity deals in history. A last-ditch attempt to salvage the deal through a law suit had also fallen flat–and generated a new slew of unwelcome headlines for a man who had previously been more accustomed to success.
But it would appear, based on Mr. Hands' latest legal salvo, that he still can't let it go.
Terra Firma's effort to force PricewaterhouseCoopers to turn over documents that formed the basis for Citi's seizure of EMI could be viewed a number of ways. It could be–as Mr. Hands' camp asserts–nothing more than the private-equity firm looking for answers to legitimate questions about how the decision to strip it of its heretofore prized asset was taken.
Looked at more cynically, one could ask about the timing of the latest move. Why is it that Mr. Hands waited seven months to take action…
[Read on over the jump]
By Phillipa Leighton-Jones and Paul Hodkinson
Guy Hands, founder and CIO of Terra Firma Capital Partners, said today a set of "get out of jail free cards" was private equity's secret tool for survival in the recession.
Mr. Hands was speaking Wednesday morning at the SuperReturn buyout conference in Berlin. In a bearish speech, he suggested that a combination of: the U.S. troubled asset relief program; European banks' decisions to amend and extend loans, and central banks' decisions to keep interest rates low to help liquidity had created a benign environment for private equity firms on the whole.
But such intervention could no longer be relied upon. "When things go wrong again, which they will, we won't have those get out of jail free cards," he said.
Some might argue that Mr. Hands, who has spent the past four years desperately trying to extract value from one of the most disastrous leveraged buyouts of last decade's deal boom—the debt-laden buyout of iconic music group EMI—,has made worse use of his cards than some.
Mr. Hands became one of the U.K. buyout industry's best-known names during the last decade, but rather less glamorously fought and lost EMI as it fell into the hands of its creditor, Citigroup, last month. His battle to keep the group centered on whether Citigroup, and more specifically his one-time closest adviser David Wormsley, a Citigroup banker, had wrongly persuaded him to overpay for EMI in 2007 by implying competing bids had been received.
Mr. Hands lost. Terra Firma's £1.7bn equity loss on the music company is thought to be the largest known private equity investment write-off in living memory, according to research by Private Equity News and Dealogic.
Now questions remain as to whether investors trust him sufficiently to commit capital to a new fund. In his Berlin speech, Mr. Hands said everyone's in for harder times.

30 Days Trip help for a Brazilian
Joined Travelfish

So guys, i'm from Fortaleza, Brazil and want to do a 30 days trip.
My knowledge in southeast asia is close to zero, but, after quick researches, I've decided that starting in Bangkok is the ideal choice.
And that's all I've decided yet!
What I really want is to really LIVE the trip, not just bounce around the whole continent without having time to, as someone said in another thread, "smell the flowers".
So I guess two countries would be the ideal thing for me.
Thailand and Cambodia, probably. Because i'm really interested in Buddhism and not really interested in BIG CROWDS(aka. China).
Any help will be heartly welcome, because I have extreme difficulties in planning things, especially travel routes and places.
(I know it's not really the subject of this board, but do you guys have been to Egypt and north africa in general? That's my Plan B. Mainly because airplane tickets to Thailand cost 3.000 US dollars)

It's hard to know where to start!
Have you tried skyscanner to see if there are any cheaper flights? $3000 sounds really expensive!
It might be worth having a look at prices of flights to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) as well as Bangkok.
I say this because Kuala Lumpur is the main hub for a good and cheap airline called Air Asia (that big red ad on the left of the screen).
If you flew straight to Angkor Wat (Cambodia) from Kuala Lumpur, it would save you a day's journey on a bus, and also all the hassle at the Thai/Cambodian border crossing. Tourists who arrive by air are subjected to far fewer scam artists. Since you'll no doubt want to see Angkor Wat anyway, there's nothing really stopping you being original and spending your first week getting over jet lag in Siem Reap rather than Khao San Road!
That's only an idea of the top of my head ... it's very hard to suggest anything concrete until you say a bit more about what you want to do!
So far all we know is that you like Buddhism and you don't like crowds. Do you want to spend the whole time looking at Buddhist temples and/or meditating or do you have other interests? When are you thinking of coming? Unless you say people can't tell you what the weather will be like or how busy things are likely to be.
Might be easier if you have a look at some of the info already on this site to see what the options are as you don't seem to know very much about SE Asia.
First, look at a map to get an idea of where the countries are.
Then, click on the names of the different countries at the top of the page to get an idea of what there is to see and do in each country.
You can also find suggestions for itineraries in the scroll down bar in section called "before you go" at the top of the page.

You will have to use hubs to get to SE Asia from Brazil: maybe Phillipines, Australia, US, or Singapore. LAN codeshares with QANTAS, American Airlines & BA.
An alternative is to London (Stanstead) and AirAsia to Kuala Lumpur. There are also other discount airlines from London to Bangkok.
I think the entry point to SE Asia will determine your journey route.
As for where to go in SE Asia, it's perhaps best that you fashion out a possible journey (that suits your interests) and ask for comments.
Also, go look at this site:
And work out where you want to spend each week (or so) per which region.
So, get your air tickets organised, then with a place of entry, go fashion a route.

Bruce and SBE, thanks so much!
Really, you guys are so helpful it almost seems untrue.
I guess it must have got something to do with the traveler's ethics.
Anyway, I'll gather up some information and make a more organized post in this thread!
See you!

Peggy commits a grievous faux pas when she nervously eyes her purse—with a wad of cash inside—next to the sofa.
By the time the first stimulus package has spent its wad, we can hope the economy will be on the uptick.
Justice fronted UCE 48 a wad of 40 hundred-dollar bills to pay the pharmacist.
HE was arrested for drug trafficking outside the dry cleaners and police found a wad of cash in his left front pocket.
A quick glance—a sniff—is all it takes to acknowledge a wad.
He wad hae dune weel eneuch gin they wad only hae latten him be.
How I wad mourn, when it was torn By autumn wild, and winter rude!
"I wad shorten his pend'lum, sir," replied the unlucky wight.
But I wad sing on wanton wing, When youthfu' May its bloom renew'd.
And he wanted you to say something to yon folks, that wad save my young life?
early 15c., "soft material for padding or stuffing," of uncertain origin, and the different meanings may represent more than one source. Among the possible connections are Medieval Latin wadda, Dutch watten, and Middle English wadmal (late 14c.) "woolen cloth," which seems to be from Old Norse vaðmal "a woolen fabric of Scandinavia," probably from vað "cloth" + mal "measure."
The meaning "bundle of currency" is American English, 1778. To shoot (one's) wad "do all one can do" is recorded from 1914. The immediate source of the expression probably is the sense of "disk of cloth used to hold powder and shot in place in a gun." Wad in slang sense of "a load of semen" is attested from 1920s, and the expression now often is felt in this sense. As a suffix, -wad in 1980s joined -bag, -ball, -head in combinations meaning "disgusting or unpleasant person."
1570s, from wad (n.). Related: Wadded; wadding.
(also wacked-out or wacko or whacked or whacked-out) Crazy; eccentric; nutty: You think I'm going wacky?/ annually collects whacky accidents/ the most wacked-out cop game anybody had ever seen any cops play/ the wacked-out hustler who talks Winkler into running a call-girl service out of the morgue/ She tried to convert me to her religion! She was whacked
[1935+; fr British dialect whacky, ''fool,'' attested fr the early 1900s; whacky, ''a person who fools around,'' is attested in British tailors' talk fr the late 1800s; perhaps fr being whacked over the head too often; perhaps influenced by whack off ''masturbate,'' and semantically akin to jerk]

Lol. Awesome. Seriously though, I need you focused next year. We're gone have a lot of drinking and stupid nonsense to do, and I don't want dumb shit like responsibility to get in my fucking way.
I woke up on your bathroom floor, i used your towel I found laying on the floor as a cape to get to your bed. I thought it would help me walk straight if I looked like a superhero
It feels like eating ice cream while riding a unicorn over a rainbow waterfall made of glitter.
That is possibly the gayest thing that was ever thought of by anyone anywhere.
I think it's safe to say that I made out with the entire msu campus this weekend
im honestly more upset that i fucked a buckeyes fan than about cheating on my boyfriend...
You're right. Single life welcomed me back with open arms. It's like it knew it wasnt going to be long when I left.
I'm stoned and have been watching so many cartoons that I changed the channel and real people were on, and it scared me

Instead of having sex, we spent the entire night making pillow forts and have sword fights. I think I'm in love
Alcohol only hurts me because he loves me.
I just did the math. It is, in fact, cheaper to go out drinking every weekend than it would be for me to pay for a legitimate therapist. What are you doing next Friday night?
you were saying "i am the vodka queen!" and then in a different voice replying to yourself "all hail the vodka queen! you are so beautiful!"
Uhg.. This isn't fair. I just want to have sex with you until i lose consciousness, wake up and start over... is that so much to ask?
you know what would be perfect? if you flew in on a horse/cat holding taco bell and then you swooped me up and took me to disney world and it was magical
I think my penis and your vagina just became best friends last night.
Don't be a dummy cum on the tummy. Make her a slut, and cum in her butt. Have no fear, jizz in her ear. Don't be a noob, cum on her boob. Forget her rack, blow on her back. Just take off your coat and jizz in her throat. And if she seals off her holes, cum in her rolls
You said you wanted to start a restaurant called 'Barbecue' where everything is barbecued. You sounded really proud of your concept.
my heart is telling me chinese, but my head is telling me beer.
I woke up naked, with 10 visible bite marks and a black eye. I'm just going to assume that it was a good night.

Dating is not our generation's strong point. We're an era that's good at getting laid.

Drinking vodka in the bathtub.... If I don't make it, I thank you for your magical parts
No just sleep deprived. James woke me up at 7 and forced me to eat a hot pocket with him cause he " didn't want me to die".

Sorry for my penis texting you last night, I can't control what he wants at 4am.
I don't know. I guess at the end of the day I wanted taco bell more than a boyfriend.

you went over to those random dudes and told them you were an ordained minister and would like to bless their food. they laughed and agreed, then you said "now bow your heads in prayer" as soon as they did you grabbed a taco off their tray and bolted out the door.
I find it funny that "sexual harassment" contains the phrase "ass sex". Let me know what your thoughts are on the matter.
I have new birth control, three bottles of jack, and some coupons for micky d's. You wanna have that sleepover?
I came so hard just now that I think I may have regenerated.
