Remember Me
Like his early influences, Lech has the unique ability to carry a tune casually, conversationally and powerfully as well. But the California Honeydrops are not just another throwback band. "My brother and I had to assimilate to modern American society, " Wierzynski explains, "so we loved all the popular stuff on the radio too, especially Hip-Hop, R&B. Knowing music was our way of proving we were American. " After studying ethno-musicology at Oberlin College, Wierzynski arrived in the Oakland California in 2004. There, he couldn't help but to continue expanding his musical horizons. "At first, " he recalls, "I played mostly on the street, and then as I got more established I started playing a lot of blues and soul music in clubs and touring. There is a rich heritage of that music here in the Bay, and was lucky enough to play with a lot of older musicians who taught me what it was all about. "
When Lech was ready to combine all his influences into one cohesive sound, he formed the California Honeydrops. By the time the band put out its first tip jar, at an Oakland train station, Lech had already established himself in the Bay Area music scene. "I had gigs, I wasn't starving, " he explains. "But I wanted to get back to how I started out, playing on the street with friends, having fun, and putting smiles on peoples faces. " With these goals in mind, the California Honeydrops were formed. "Things got going really fast, " remembers drummer and founding member Ben Malament. "People who had seen us on the street were offering us all kinds of gigs. Before we knew it we were a working band, playing clubs parties, and dances all over. " In just few years time this group of street performers would be selling out venues across California and bringing its infectious sound to festivals across the US and Europe.
With a background in West African and New Orleans drumming, Ben Malament has provided a funky rhythmic backdrop to Wierzynski's soulful vocals and soaring trumpet playing since their subway busking days. The addition of saxophonist Johnny Bones brought to the band his influences from time working with Eddie Palmieri, Nell Carter, and Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums, to form the core of the group. Growing bigger and gathering steam, the Honeydrops have expanded from an acoustic street trio to a full band: piano and keyboards, electric bass, and additional percussion round out their sound. Beyond the band's shared musical vision remains a greater purpose: to make people dance, sing, and enjoy themselves. The Honeydrops' music speaks not just to the heart and soul, but also to the body; people have no choice but to dance. Drawing heavily on Southern soul and Bay Area R&B with twist of New Orleans second-line street music, the Honeydrops defy genres. Their style may not have a name, but one thing is certain: The California Honeydrops don't just play music. They throw parties.

On November 2, 1999 (letter dated October 30, 1999), a complaint was filed with the Department of Public Instruction by XXXXX against the McFarland School District. This complaint alleges a violation of special education law regarding the implementation of programs for children with disabilities.
Pursuant to 34 CFR 300.660-662 of the regulations implementing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and ss. 115.762(3)(g) and 115.90(1), Wis. Stats., the Department of Public Instruction investigated this complaint. In investigating a complaint, the department reviews a district's compliance with state and federal requirements. During this investigation, department staff reviewed relevant education records of the child, documents submitted by the complainant, and written statements provided by the district. Department staff spoke with the complainant, the district's director of integrated student services, the associate principal, the special education teacher, the recess monitor, and the lunchroom supervisor. In addition, department staff interviewed the first semester teachers for the following classes: Primetime, algebra, physical education, art, science, and study group.
Section 115.78, Wisconsin Statutes

* * *
34 CFR Part 300, Attachment 1¿Analysis of Comments and Changes (64 FR 12587)
* * *
The key factor in s. 300.345(a) is that public agencies effectively communicate with parents about the up-coming IEP meeting, and attempt to arrange a mutually agreed upon time and place for the meeting.
* * *
The child whose education is the subject of this investigation resides in the McFarland School District. The McFarland School District determined that the child has a serious emotional disturbance (ED) and, as a result, needs special education and related services. The child attends a public school in McFarland.
On October 21, 1999, the child physically attacked another student. When the recess monitor intervened, the child hit the monitor and pursued the child he had originally attacked. Within a minute or two--before the recess monitor had a chance to contact anyone--the student continued his physical attack on the student inside the building. The lunch supervisor intervened. The child stated he wanted to go to the ED classroom, and while the lunch supervisor was ensuring the safety of the child under attack, he escorted himself to that room.
Meanwhile, the associate principal attempted to contact the mother and successfully contacted the school-police liaison officer. The officer reported to the associate principal's office, where they contacted the mother and conversed via speakerphone. The officer indicated to the mother that it was a very serious incident, that he needed to interview the student, and that the mother could pick up the student at the police station.
As a result of the incident, district staff discussed the possibility of expulsion. Before deciding to take that action, the staff agreed to conduct a manifestation determination.
The associate principal stated that, on October 25, 1999, she attempted to reach the mother. She was unable to reach her at work, and so she left a message on the mother's home voice mail system. The message indicated that the district scheduled an IEP team meeting on October 27, 1999, and that the invitation was in the mail. The mother stated that she did not receive the voice mail message from the assistant principal. District staff did not attempt to reach the mother at work again.
Also on October 25, 1999, the special education director mailed to the mother an invitation to an IEP team meeting (to conduct a manifestation determination and review the child's IEP). The mother did not receive this invitation until October 28, 1999.
On October 27, 1999, a district staff person called the residence of the child and mother. The mother was not available, so the staff person left a message regarding the IEP team meeting to be held that afternoon. The mother states that she did not receive this message.
The mother did not attend the IEP team meeting on October 27, 1999. On the cover page of the IEP revised at this meeting, the district documented three attempts to ensure parent participation: the phone message left on October 25, 1999, the written invitation mailed on October 25, 1999, and the phone message left on October 27, 1999.
At the meeting, it was determined that the behavior exhibited on October 21, 1999, was a manifestation of the child's disability. The team reviewed the IEP and revised it to include an escort schedule for all unstructured passing times and a provision that the child would spend recess in the ED classroom, teaching chess to other students and tutoring younger students in math.
On October 28, 1999, the mother called the Director of Integrated Student Services. She expressed concern that she was not present at the IEP team meeting. The Director explained that the district was required to hold the manifestation determination within a specific time period and that she was willing to schedule another IEP team meeting to review and revise, if necessary, the child's IEP.
When a LEA contemplates a disciplinary removal that constitutes a change of placement for a child with a disability, the LEA is required to review the behavior of the child in a process called a "manifestation determination." During the manifestation determination, an IEP team must examine the relationship between the child's disability and the behavior subject to the disciplinary action. Behavior that is a manifestation of the child's disability cannot be punished by a disciplinary removal that constitutes a change of placement.
In this case, the LEA considered expulsion of the child, which would constitute a change of placement. The LEA, therefore, determined that a manifestation determination was needed. Because the IEP team is required to meet and conduct the manifestation determination, rules regarding parental participation apply. An LEA must ensure that one or both of the parents of a child with a disability are present at each IEP meeting or are afforded the opportunity to participate, including scheduling the meeting at a mutually agreed on time and place. Within a reasonable amount of time prior to the meeting, the LEA must notify the parents of the meeting; the notification must include the purpose, time, and location of the meeting; who will be in attendance; and the legal provisions relating to the participation of other individuals on the IEP team who have knowledge or special expertise about the child.
On October 25, district staff attempted to notify the parent of the October 27 IEP team meeting by calling her at work, but did not leave a message after learning that she was not available to take the call. After failing to reach the parent at work, on October 25 district staff tried calling her at home, and again failing to speak with her left a voice mail message for her. Following these attempts, district staff, also on October 25, mailed an invitation to attend the meeting. The written invitation, however, did not arrive at the mother's residence until the day after the meeting. The district made no attempt to contact the parent on October 26. On October 27, the day of the meeting, district staff again attempted, unsuccessfully, to reach the parent by telephone and again left a message. The parent was not in attendance at the IEP team meeting. Under the circumstances, district staff did not take action sufficient to ensure that the parent was notified of the October 27, 1999, IEP team meeting a reasonable amount of time prior to the meeting. Issue #1 of the complaint is substantiated. When the parent complained about her inability to attend the October 27 meeting, the district offered to conduct on additional IEP team meeting. Therefore, the district will not be directed to take further specific corrective action with regard to this child on this issue.

* * *
34 CFR Part 300, Appendix A, Question 31
Must the public agency ensure that all services specified in a child's IEP are provided?
Yes. The public agency must ensure that all services set forth in the child's IEP are provided, consistent with the child's needs as identified in the IEP. * * *
From the beginning of school until September 29, 1999, the district was required to provide special education and related services to the child consistent with an IEP developed on February 10, 1999. The IEP included a behavior plan which read, in relevant part: "he could ask to leave class to come to [the ED classroom] for cool down. Teacher notified [the ED teacher]. Teacher could also ask for [the child] to leave for cool down. [The child] would leave to come down. Teacher notified [the ED teacher]."
At the beginning of the school year, the regular education teachers received a Student Profile for each of their students with disabilities or with other special needs. The Student Profile for the student whose education is the subject of this investigation includes information on the following areas: the child's skill levels, learning styles, areas of strengths and weaknesses, IEP goals, required modifications, and behavior concerns. In none of these areas was the behavior plan referenced or described. At the bottom of page 2, there is a space to mark reading, "See attached Behavioral Plan." This space was not marked and a behavior plan was not attached.
While it was not communicated in writing, several regular education teachers knew that it was their responsibility to allow the child to leave, or to ask the child to leave, when it was clear he needed to "cool down." During interviews, these teachers could not recollect how or when they learned of their duties. Other teachers did not know about their responsibilities under the February 10, 1999, IEP. These teachers stated that the primary reason they didn't know about the provisions was because they had no trouble with the child in their classroom, and so they didn't meet with the special education teacher about the child as they did with other children with behavior difficulties.
The district convened an IEP team meeting on September 27, 1999, to review and revise, if necessary, the child's IEP. The revised IEP, in part, requires school staff to monitor the child during unstructured activities for peer interactions. In addition, the following supplementary aids and services are provided to or on behalf of the student in regular education or other educational settings: "(1) ED teacher or assistant principal to be initial contact for [the child] during any episodes of inappropriate behavior; (2) Parent will be contacted prior to police interrogation/intervention (if occurs) for unsafe school behavior; (3) Teachers will permit [the child] to remove self from classroom as needed with no penalty for missing academics."
The child's Student Profile was not updated and re-sent to regular education teachers, or other district staff responsible for its implementation after the September 27, 1999, IEP team meeting. The special education teacher explained these provisions to the regular education teachers at a meeting. The district did not communicate the provisions to the lunch room supervisor or the recess monitor, who had responsibility for initially contacting the ED teacher or assistant principal in case of inappropriate behavior and for monitoring the child during unstructured activities.
On October 21, 1999, the child physically attacked another student. When the recess monitor intervened, the child hit the monitor and pursued the child he had originally attacked. Within a minute or two--before the recess monitor had a chance to contact anyone--the student continued his physical attack on the student inside the building. The lunch supervisor intervened. The child stated he wanted to go to the ED classroom, and while the teacher was ensuring the safety of the child under attack, he escorted himself to that room.
Meanwhile, the associate principal attempted to contact the mother and successfully contacted the school-police liaison officer. The officer reported to the associate principal's office, where they contacted the mother and conversed via speakerphone. The officer indicated to the mother that it was a very serious incident, that he needed to interview the student, and that the mother could pick up the student at the police station.
A district must provide each child with a disability a free appropriate public education (FAPE). A district meets its obligation to provide FAPE to a child in part by providing special education and related services in conformity with a proper IEP. The IEP must specify special education and related services to meet the child's needs, including a behavior plan for children whose behavior impedes his or her learning or that of others. Regular education teachers and other service providers responsible for its implementation must have knowledge of and implement relevant portions of a child's IEP.
On October 21, 1999, the child displayed inappropriate behavior. After he was physically separated from the other child, he immediately went to the ED classroom, per his IEP. Before the police officer interviewed the child, the associate principal and the police officer talked to the mother on the telephone, again per his IEP. There is no violation regarding issue #2.
With regard to informing the regular education teachers and other service providers of their responsibilities, the district did provide written information with respect to the special needs of the child. However, the Student Profile includes neither the behavior plan nor the aspects of the behavior plan for which the regular education teachers were responsible. While some regular education teachers recollect their responsibilities under the February 10, 1999, IEP, other teachers did not have knowledge of that IEP's relevant portions.
When the IEP team reconvened on September 27, 1999, new provisions were written that required implementation by regular education teachers and other service providers, including the recess monitor and lunchroom supervisor. The district informed the regular education teachers of the new provisions in the IEP and their responsibilities; the district did not inform other service providers, including the recess monitor and the lunchroom supervisor. The complaint is substantiated with regard to issue #3.
The McFarland School District shall, within 30 days of receipt of this report, submit to the department a corrective action plan (CAP) to ensure that the district:
- notifies the parents of children with disabilities within a reasonable amount of time prior to an IEP team meeting and schedules IEP team meetings at a time and place mutually agreed upon with the parents (issue #1);
- ensures that each regular or special education teacher and each related services or other service provider who is responsible for implementing provisions in a child's IEP is informed of his or her specific responsibilities related to implementing this child's IEP and the IEPs of all children with disabilities (issue #3);
The CAP shall include the activities the district will undertake to implement the directives, the personnel responsible for each activity, the date by which each activity will be completed, and the type of documentation that will be submitted to the department as evidence of completion of each activity. If a CAP requires the district to develop one or more products, the district may submit the product(s) as part of the corrective action plan. The CAP will be reviewed and the district will be informed if any revisions are required. The district will implement the CAP after it has been approved by the department.
This concludes our investigation of this complaint. This letter is not intended, and should not be construed, to cover any other issues regarding compliance with the IDEA or Chapter 115, Wisconsin Statutes, which may exist and which are not specifically discussed herein. Under the Wisconsin public records law, ss. 19.31-19.39, Wisconsin Statutes, it may be necessary to release this document and related correspondence and records upon request.

What's the Matter With Obama?
The four sins of "cling."
So when [whites] are told ... that their fears about crime in urban neighborhoods are somehow prejudiced, resentment builds over time.
Who would tell them such a thing? Obama, a dozen paragraphs earlier, dissing his own grandmother.
In general. Obama's explanations of black anger seem intimate and respectful. His explanations of white anger seem distant and condescending. ("They are anxious about their futures, and feel their dreams slipping away ....") Unfortunately for him, it's white votes he needs.
Troublesome Equivalence III**: Drawing his central parallel between often-counterproductive black anger and white anger, Obama declares:
Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition. Politicians routinely exploited fears of crime for their own electoral ends. Talk show hosts and conservative commentators built entire careers unmasking bogus claims of racism while dismissing legitimate discussions of racial injustice and inequality as mere political correctness or reverse racism.
Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze - a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed; a Washington dominated by lobbyists and special interests; economic policies that favor the few over the many ...
Wait. I thought Obama just told us that welfare exacerbated the decline of the black family. So white "anger over welfare" wasn't misdirected. It was directed toward what Obama himself fingers as a prime source of the black-white disparity. And if a culture of broken homes tends to produce more crime, it was also directed at a prime cause of urban disorder, the impoverishment of working class-white neighborhoods, and of white flight. In other words, it was directed at a "real culprit," not a phony culprit. Is Obama too locked into standard left "welfare is a scapegoat" ideology to admit this? If so, Bill Clinton had more "nuance" and "complexity." Obama's taking us back to 1991.
Can't we ignore race, please?
But race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now.
Actually, a lot of voters supported Obama because they'd kind of like to ignore race, you know? Wasn't the point of his celebrated South Carolina victory speech that thinking along racial lines was one of the "habits that prevent us from being who we want to be as a nation"? That's the whole point of Obama, from one perspective.
These voters resent the cropping up of Rev. Wright because he represents the thrusting of race back to the center of the campaign. By lecturing them on the centrality and unavoidability of race, Obama seems to be embracing Wright's error and undermining at least one basis for his appeal. (He gets into trouble with his wacky pastor andnow he's challenging us on race?)
Fortunately, the we-cannot-ignore-race stand is a fraud. What's Obama's alternative?

The silver mirror test
Demonstrations designed to capture the student's imagination, by Colin Baker of Bedford School.
In this issue: the silver mirror test
Bernhard Christian Gottfried Tollens (1841-1918) was a German chemist whose name has been recognised through the silver mirror test using Tollens' reagent. He developed this test to differentiate between aldose and ketose sugars.
Tollens' reagent is an alkaline solution of ammoniacal silver nitrate and is used to test for aldehydes. Silver ions in the presence of hydroxide ions come out of solution as a brown precipitate of silver(I) oxide, Ag2O(s). This precipitate dissolves in aqueous ammonia, forming the diamminesilver(I) ion, [Ag(NH3)2]+. Ketones do not react with Tollens' reagent.
2Ag+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) Ag2O(s) + H2O(l)
Ag2O(s) + 4NH3(aq) + H2O(l) 2[Ag(NH3)2]+(aq) + 2OH-(aq
4 g Glucose, C6H12O6;
150 cm3 0.1 mol dm-3 AgNO3;
10 cm3 Concentrated ammonia solution (0.88), NH3;
10 cm3 Distilled water;
250 cm3 Round bottom flask; One-litre beaker (water bath);
250 cm3 Beaker; and 50 cm3 beaker.
Dissolve 4 g of glucose in 10 cm3 distilled water in a 50 cm3 beaker. Place 150 cm3 0.1 mol dm-3 silver nitrate in a 250 cm3 beaker. Add 5 cm3 concentrated ammonia solution (0.88) to the silver nitrate solution while stirring. A brown precipitate of silver oxide is formed which dissolves when a second 5 cm3 measure of concentrated ammonia solution is added. Add the glucose solution to the ammoniacal silver nitrate solution in the beaker while stirring and then pour this mixture into a 250 cm3 round bottom flask. Place this flask into a 70 oC water bath. Within five minutes the inside of the flask should be coated with a highly reflective silver mirror.
Silver nitrate is poisonous if swallowed or inhaled; the solid/ solution stains (brown/black marks) the skin, which cannot be removed with soap and water but disappears as new skin grows. Ammonia contact with the eyes can cause long-term damage. The solution is corrosive and may cause burns. Concentrated solutions release ammonia vapour, which is hazardous if inhaled.
Special tips
Most recipes for this demonstration involve sodium hydroxide to provide alkaline conditions for the precipitation of silver(i) oxide. I use concentrated ammonia solution which provides sufficient hydroxide ions to cause precipitation followed by the formation of the diammine-silver(i) ion. Some sources recommend that the glassware is scrupulously clean, but I find that the temperature of the water bath is more important because the rate of deposition is the critical factor in a successful monstration.
Teaching goals
Adding the ammonia to the silver nitrate solution makes the silver ion less susceptible to reduction, which produces silver in a more controlled manner.
Ag+ + e- Ag E° = +0.799 V
Ag(NH3)2+ + e- Ag + 2NH3 E° = +0.373 V
The half-equations indicate that ammonia forms a complex with the silver ion, which is more difficult to reduce than the silver ion. This is because silver ions form more stable complexes with NH3 than with water.
If silver nitrate is used without ammonia, the silver ion is reduced so quickly that colloidal silver metal would appear. The solution would become a black, cloudy liquid.
Basic conditions are necessary because glucose is oxidised more easily under basic conditions:
RCHO + H2O RCOOH + 2H+ + 2e-
Tollens' reagent and other similar tests, eg Benedict's and Fehling's, will test for aldehydes but will not identify individual compounds. They all rely on aldehydes being susceptible to oxidation whereas ketones are not readily oxidised.
If identification is required, then the unknown compound must be reacted with Brady's reagent (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine dissolved in acidified methanol). A bright orange or yellow precipitate will indicate the presence of aldehyde or ketone.
If the precipitate is purified by recrystallisation, the melting point of the crystals can be measured and compared with tables of the melting points of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydra-zones of all the common aldehydes and ketones to identify the mystery compound. This reaction is an example of addition-elimination, which does not involve oxidation, and therefore will identify both aldehydes and ketones because both types of compound include a carbon-oxygen double bond.

Typical of the DCSS system, but really striking in irony is the Facade in front of the building. A facade is a fake front, so is that the image the DCSS wants to project, just a facade of the old school house where education use to take place? Time to make some serious adjustments!

Those who think that NASCAR racing is not a sport, imagine driving 1" away from another car going between 180 mph and 200 mph for 3-4 hours. Can you do that? There are no time outs, no half-times, no substitutes, stopping to rest between plays as there are in the stick and ball sports. Those who think that the NASCAR drivers are not athletics have never been to a race. Going is different than watching on TV, just like many other activities!

Day 11 — Bringing Back Bottomland Forests
Story Highlights
- An estimated 74 percent of bottomland forest in the Tensas River Basin has been converted to agriculture.
- Though much of the forest has been cleared, the Tensas River Basin contains some of the largest remaining blocks of bottomland hardwood forests in the United States.
- Conservancy staff monitors carbon accumulation by checking the height and diameter of trees and then converts that into the mass of carbon. Once planted, monitoring occurs at years three, five and 10 and then every five years after that.
By Tom Eisenhart
Driving east on Route 4 toward Louisiana's Tensas (pronounced 'Tensaw') River Basin, the view to either side is one of endless acres of cotton and soybeans. I'm riding with Ronnie Ulmer, a program manager for The Nature Conservancy in Louisiana, who remembers a very different landscape.
Born and raised in this part of northeast Louisiana, Ronnie recalls that, as a child, this road was surrounded by bottomland forest, with trees arching cathedral-like high above the pavement. Over time, he sadly watched the forest cleared for agriculture.
"I saw huge machines fell and roll the trees into rows," Ronnie says. "They didn't even take the timber; just set fire to them and let it burn."
Having seen land converted to agriculture that in many places was unproductive for crops, Ronnie is now part of an effort to restore forests to benefit wildlife and the people in his community. Yet the benefits of a 500-plus-acre forest restoration project Ronnie manages extend much further. Called the Stevens Northwest Airlines Carbon Sequestration Habitat Restoration Project, it is one of the first projects in the Conservancy's voluntary carbon offset program and where we are visiting today.
Room for Bears and Birds
The project is part of the Conservancy's Tensas River Basin Project, an effort to restore large, contiguous blocks of bottomland forest habitat. Doing this provides more room for the state and federally threatened Louisiana black bear to roam and places for migratory birds to rest and breed.
The forested lands on the perimeter of where we stand are in various states of maturity. They represent lands that are part of a U.S. National Wildlife Refuge and acreage enrolled in the USDA's Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Ronnie explains that this project offered an opportunity to "fill a hole," linking the other nearby forested lands.
At the same time, the former soybean fields also provided an opportunity to design the project with carbon sequestration in mind.
Two years ago, the Conservancy planted more than 175,000 trees on 410 acres of the project. It's a mix of 15 species, including oaks, sweet gums and persimmons. The project's remaining 124 acres is composed of fire breaks and fence rows.
Benefits Accrued Over Time
At this point, the trees aren't much to look at; in fact, we looked hard to see the stems of the knee-high saplings in the thick surrounding grasses and brush. But in two years, the trees will be waist-high; in another five, as tall as an adult. The trees will continue to grow and expand at that rate until they reach 70 years, when their growth slows considerably.
Over the life of the project, Conservancy scientists estimate that it will sequester about 156 metric tons of carbon per acre. That's a conservative estimate, according to Ronnie. "We've discounted the amount of carbon we expect to accrue by about 40 percent to reach a level where we feel comfortable with our estimates," he explains.
Once the project completes its 70-year life, the mature stand of bottomland forest that will tower over where we stand will continue to provide important benefits.
Ronnie grins when he tells me that trees, like people, start slowing down and taking it easy once they reach 70. "At that point, they won't be sequestering as much carbon any more, but they will be providing homes for interior-nesting songbirds, providing protection from severe winds and cooling areas underneath them."
That thought fills Ronnie with the satisfaction of knowing that one day a child like he once was will have the forests to explore and enjoy.

FSM continues its CDs of soundtracks to the films of George Pal (Atlantis: The Lost Continent/The Power, The Time Machine) with a beloved fantasy score: 7 Faces of Dr. Lao (1964) composed by Leigh Harline.
7 Faces of Dr. Lao starred Tony Randall in multiple roles as the Chinese proprietor (and most of the attractions) of a traveling carnival in the Old West. The circus visits a small town, Abalone, which is threatened by an unscrupulous land developer, and Dr. Lao and his bizarre characters help the citizens recover their belief in themselves in order to save their community. Based on a 1935 novel by Charles G. Finney, the film has obtained a cult reputation as an unusual and affecting family film with surprisingly adult elements.
Leigh Harline had a long and successful Hollywood career that started on Walt Disney animation and continued through numerous projects for various studios, including the western Broken Lance (FSMCD Vol. 4, No. 18). His last feature films were two M-G-M projects for George Pal: The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm (adapting songs by Bob Merrill) and 7 Faces of Dr. Lao.
Dr. Lao may have been Harline's finest work of all, a beguiling and tuneful concoction of "East meets West" melodies and folk instrumentation. It is consistently melodic, featuring numerous character setpieces and sparkling, transparent orchestration. In addition to the main title tune (for Dr. Lao), there are fully developed pieces for the other characters of the circus, such as Merlin the Magician, the soothsayer Appolonius, and Pan, the God of Joy.
Excerpts from 7 Faces of Dr. Lao were previously released on a La-La Land compilation of George Pal soundtracks. FSM presents the premiere release of the complete score, newly remixed from the stereo masters, with bonus tracks of alternates, outtakes and music-related sound effects. Liner notes are by Jeff Bond, Ross Care (a Harline authority), and Lukas Kendall. A fantasy score for the ages, 7 Faces of Dr. Lao is an absolute delight.

Cream of leek, mushroom and rabbit soup highlights the locally sourced meat, which is sweet, delicate, lean and low in cholesterol, says farmer and recipe author Dawn Morin-Boucher of Boucher Family Farm in Highgate. / DAWN MORIN-BOUCHER, for the Free Press
When my husband, Dan, and I were first married we lived at the top of Carter Hill in Highgate, before we built the home in which we currently reside at our Gore Road dairy farm.
Prior to that, I lived on small town Main Street, where houses blocked the horizons and streetlights obscured the night sky.
So, it was a privilege to find myself living alongside 90 acres of woodland and vast farm fields, with neighboring homes obscured by trees, brush, and distance.
Wildlife would make daily appearances: deer, fox, muskrat - those little green frogs that stick to windows, giant moths bigger than a hand-span - and loads of cardinals due to an extensive stand of sumac lining the road.
I marveled at my first double-rainbows and the endless tapestry of stars revealed at dark. Not like living in town, at all.
Lightning storms were especially impressive, and I used to stay up at night, alone, and watch them play out like firework displays.
One of my favorite recollections of those years is the summer that we discovered rabbits living in the woodpile just underneath the bedroom window.
We (myself and the two black cats) would watch fluffy baby bunnies dart in and out amongst the split cordwood, scratch tiny itchies, and play at dusk.
And then, one day, they were gone.
We dont currently hunt for wild or raise meat rabbits on the farm, but they are becoming increasingly easier to source locally.
Rabbit is a sweet, delicate, lean meat that is low in cholesterol; braise or poach think low and slow for delicious results.
This recipe is sized for a family gathering or potluck; and minus the rabbit, it can be reduced in proportion, and used in recipes calling for cream of mushroom soup (it is gluten-free).
Rabbit can be purchased at Bobs Meat Market (St. Albans); Healthy Living (they have both whole and half rabbits); Sweet Clover Market; City Market by pre-order; and from vendors at Burlington Farmers Market at Memorial Auditorium (next on this coming Saturday).
Farmer/cheesemaker/writer/blogger Dawn Morin-Boucher resides at the Boucher Family Farm in Highgate Center. Read about her life on the farm and search for more recipes at boucherfamilyfarm.blogspot.com. Contact her at email@example.com.
Cream of Leek, Mushroom and Rabbit Soup
Serves 12 - 15
Step 1: poach rabbit
1/2 large rabbit (or one small)
4-5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2-3 fresh thyme sprigs
Step 2: create soup base
3-4 additional cups stock
8 ounces shiitakes, stems removed, caps sliced thin
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 celery stalks, stringed and finely chopped
8 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
2 whole shallots, peeled and diced
3 small leeks, white portion cleaned and sliced (freeze green portion for stock)
Step 3: finishing touches
4 ounces oyster mushrooms, sliced
4 ounces chanterelles, sliced (sourced from Healthy Living)
2-3 cups heavy cream
1. Poach rabbit in simmering stock (covered, on lowest burner setting) until meat is tender (1 1/2 to 2 hours). Let cool. Remove meat and shred. Set aside. Remove thyme sprigs and reserve liquid for Step 2.
2. In a stockpot, saute shiitakes, carrots, celery, garlic, shallots and leeks. When softened, add poaching liquid and additional stock. Simmer until liquid reduces to the level of the vegetables. (1 1/2 to 2 hours) Let cool.
Using an immersion or stand blender, puree vegetables.
At this point, you may refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to mingle.
3. Return puree to low heat. Add oyster and chanterelle mushrooms and gently simmer until mushrooms are cooked through. Add rabbit and cream.
Adjust for salt and add 2 or 3 drops of Tabasco.

A version of this editorial was published Thursday in the Pensacola News Journal.
We have to pause whenever we see a zero-tolerance policy, especially in schools.
To be sure, we want schools to be safe environments where students can learn. After all, zero-tolerance rules make it easy for teachers and administrators to enforce when it comes to possession of tobacco, alcohol, drugs or weapons. Violate the rule and face a punishment, no questions asked.
If only it were that easy.
In the last quarter-century we've seen many cases where a student violated a school's zero-tolerance rule and was punished by being suspended, whether it was because a girl was in possession of a set of nail clippers that had a file; a child using a laser pointer during a school assembly; or a boy who was handed a Ritalin tablet as a prank on a school bus.
It's easy to argue that those situations, although breaking school rules, hardly merits a suspension.
That's why we support a bill making its way through the Legislature that adds a dose of common sense to zero-tolerance policies for guns in public schools. It was recently approved by a House education panel.
The bill would prevent children from being disciplined for simulating a gun while playing, or wearing clothes that depict firearms.
State Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala Baxley dubbed the measure the "Pop-Tart bill," in reference to a national headline incident in a Maryland school in which a student was suspended after forming a toaster pastry into the shape of a pistol.
A Tallahassee Democrat report on the hearing noted that school districts like Leon County have encouraged administrators to find alternatives to suspension or expulsion, and lawmakers have tried to give educators more flexibility under laws they say may have gone too far.
Florida law requires school districts to adopt policies of zero tolerance on some issues. For example, a student found with a weapon at school, at a school function or on a school bus is automatically expelled for a minimum of one year and sent into the criminal-justice or juvenile-justice system.
While it's important to have no tolerance for anyone who brings a gun to school, it's reasonable to back off when the "weapon" obviously isn't a real firearm.
We urge the Legislature to pass this "common-sense" measure this year.

Taylor's Last Words
LutherRocks has left a new comment on your post "Was UOJ Always Taught in WELS?Definitely Not!":
I too have wondered this. When I stumbled across UOJ three years ago and my wife and I were talking about it, my son overheard us and and told us of an incident while he was in confirmation class. He had a hard time getting his head around it (he's pretty smart). It didn't end really well. He was confirmed, however. So I have searched for that Kuske cateschism around our house to no avail to compare it to my 1956 small catechism. It probably ended up in it's rightful place when we moved to TX.
Thanks for posting this and thanks to that pastor whoever he is.
I am feeling like Taylor at the end of Planet of the Apes these days. Maybe you can find a picture of him and use it for a future blog regarding this issue.

And They're Off!Yesterday, five skippers hoisted sail and began a 7,500 mile leg from La Rochelle, France to Cape Town, South Africa, one of five such 'ocean sprints' that will carry the fleet through some 30,000 miles during the 2010/2011 Velux Five Oceans Race. Conditions couldn't have been finer for the start: bluebird skies, a good breeze, and plenty of fanfare as the general public actually cares about sailing in France.

Meanwhile, at the RC 44 World Championship for the Islas Canarias Puerto Calero Cup, BMW Oracle helmsman Jimmy Spithill and his 17 team concluded a great week of racing by taking home top honors. This event marks the first RC 44 World Championship. 'We're feeling great,' said Spithill. 'It was a tough day on the water for us. We tried to stay clean but got tangled up a couple of times. It was really unpredictable on the water, but at the end of day we hung tough and got it done.'
At the 2010 Canada's Cup, Don Wilson's Team Chicago Match Race Center successfully defended the trophy for the U.S. in a three-day event. In Connecticut at the Champion of Champions, Chris Raab and his crew of Robert Kinney won their first Jack Brown Trophy.
At the Hobie 16 North Americans, defending champions Enrique Figueroa and Victor Aponte (PUR) cinched the trophy by nabbing an impressive 11 bullets in 16 races. And finally, kiteboarder Robert Douglas established a new national record when he ticked 52.58 knots in the ditch at the Luderitz Speed Challenge.

What are the dimensions of the enclosure? One possibility is that he doesn't have enough surface space, i.e. his enclosure is too small. Deep sub is very important, but for terrestrials, so is leg room.
Another possibility; temp and humidity. This sp is from the southern US, so they are used to the desert. Keeping the temp between 75-80 might be a good idea if you have a picky T, and keep the humidity fairly low. You pretty much don't ever mist their enclosures.
ONE LAST THING- does he have a hide? They like to hide under logs, etc. Maybe if you offered him an alternative hide that he couldn't destroy, he would settle in and feel safer in there. Just a thought
He could also just be a busy little guy with a lot of energy to expel
Good luck!!

Being home for Christmas has a very special meaning for three families in Bryan this year.
A dedication ceremony for Odessa Thurman and her grandson Leonard's new home was just one of three ceremonies held by the Bryan/College Station Habitat for Humanity on Saturday.
The Thurman, Dennis/Gilbert, and Mitchell families received the keys to the front door of their new homes.
In addition, they also received a house blessing and house warming gifts.
Bryan/College Station Habitat for Humanity's Communications Coordinator Dena Freeman says it took 3,000 hours of manpower from the homeowners and volunteers to complete construction of the homes just in time for Christmas.
"It's always amazing for the families to get the keys to their new home right before the holiday season," Freeman said. "It means a lot to them and it makes it a special time of year."
Sponsorship for the three homes was provided by Habitat's sponsored churches, the Circle of Women, and the College Station Medical Center.
