Common Core standards get legislative scrutiny
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 12/18/2013 @ 10:16 pm In Education | No Comments
(Raleigh News Observer) A joint legislative committee charged with scrutinizing the new Common Core standards used in North Carolina schools for math and English held its first meeting Tuesday and the talk quickly turned to overhauling or dumping them.
"'Common Core' in my neck of the woods is poison language," said Sen. Jerry Tillman, an Archdale Republican and retired school administrator.
The standards, which were adopted in North Carolina in 2010, are supposed to set a clear, consistent blueprint for what students should learn from kindergarten through high school. The idea is to better prepare them for college and careers.
All but five states have adopted Common Core, but it has increasingly come under attack, particularly from conservatives, and some states are now considering dropping the standards.

2004 saw the Corbetts finally in the bag, finishing with Beinn na h-Eaglaise near Glenelg on a hot sweaty August day with only one other companion. Warm champagne is not quite the apex, but who's complaining? Since then I've been pottering away at the sub-2000ft Marilyns in Scotland and have finally come up with a name for these: HUGHS (Hills Under Graham Height in Scotland). If anyone can think of a better acronym please let me know. Perhaps the most quirky event of the year was discovering a Hugh (or should it be a Hughs?) only a few miles from my house which I thought I'd climbed years back and actually hadn't; Innerdouny Hill in the Ochils, which I had confused with Innerdownie (which is not a Marilyn). Apart from the negotiation of several firebreaks, it is a fine wee hill with great views.
The main aim of 2005 is to finish the 35 remaining Munro Tops and keep plugging away at Hughs and Corbett Tops. A trip to Ailsa Craig with Hamish Brown in August should be fun - and then there's all those other islands.

140g/5oz breadcrumbs
55g/2oz fresh flatleaf parsley
6 tbsp olive oil
4 x 175g/6¼oz cod fillets, skin on
For the vermouth sauce, melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the shallots and garlic for 2-3 minutes. De-glaze the pan with the vermouth and cook until the volume of the liquid has reduced by half. Add the fish stock and cream and cook again until the volume of the liquid has reduced by half.
Blend the mixture in a blender and pass the sauce through a sieve.
For the pan-fried cod with a parsley crust, preheat the grill to the highest setting.
Blend the breadcrumbs, parsley and four tablespoons of the olive oil in a food processer until well combined.
Roll the mixture out on a work surface and cut out four pieces the same size as the cod fillets.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan and fry the cod, skin-side down, for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the cod fillets from the pan, peel off the skin and place the parsley crust on top.
Grill the cod fillets for 2-3 minutes.
For the sautéed girolles, melt the butter in a frying pan, fry the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the chopped parsley.
To serve, spoon the mushrooms around each of four serving plates, place a cod fillet into the centre of each plate and spoon around the vermouth sauce.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

Former El Paso County Judge Alicia R. Chacón -- a political pioneer and longtime community leader -- will receive another prestigious honor today.
The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the nation's leading Hispanic legal civil rights organization, will present Chacon, 74, with its Valerie Kantor Award for Extraordinary Achievement during a gala at the Westin Riverwalk in San Antonio tonight.
The award is presented to former MALDEF board members who have distinguished themselves for their contributions to the group and the Hispanic community.
City Rep. Lily Limón said Chacón is deserving of the award.
"Alicia is a trailblazer who has left a profound mark on our community," Limón said of her close friend. "Her service as a public servant was always based on integrity and brought hope to every member of our community. She is an ambassador of the people. I am proud and honored to call her my friend."
Chacón says she is an ordinary person who has taken advantage of extraordinary opportunities.
"I'm humble and proud," Chacón said of receiving the award.
Chacón is well known in El Paso for her involvement in politics. She served as board member for the Ysleta Independent School District from 1970 to 1978, was elected City Council representative in 1983 and was elected county judge in 1990.
Others to be recognized tonight include San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro and María "Cuca" Robledo Montecel, president and CEO of the Intercultural Development Research Association. ABC News correspondent John Quiñones will be the master of ceremonies.
Chacón, who left El Paso for San Antonio on Thursday, said she expects to see a lot of old friends at the MALDEF event. She served on the MALDEF board of directors from 1990 to 1995, and was the chairwoman the last two years.
During her time at MALDEF, the organization filed a lawsuit against the Texas University System alleging the state had discriminated against the universities along the border by lack of funding.
At the time universities along the border did not have quality education programs, or doctorates, forcing Mexican-Americans in border communities to go to other parts of the state if they wanted higher education, she said."We didn't have what all of the other universities under the state system had. The border region did not receive their fair share of money," Chacón said. "We wanted all the border region to receive those funds and to authorize the universities to develop doctoral programs."Although the case did not succeed before the Supreme Court of Texas, it caused the Legislature to take corrective action, Chacón said.
"That was a success for MALDEF. It's exciting that they have done similar work in other parts of the country," she said.
At the time, the University of Texas at El Paso only had two doctoral programs, she said. Currently, UTEP offers 20 doctoral degrees.

How to Tell The Gender of Mollies
This article will tell you exactly how to tell the gender of your molly fish.
Mollies are a very popular aquarium fish. They are very hardy, come in many different varieties, they are active, and they have great personalities, but they breed like rabbits. You buy just one of these fish from the pet store, and you will probably find lots of babies in your tank once a month. You may ask yourself how it is possible for just one fish to have babies, or if you have several of them, which ones are having babies. Molly genders are not as easy to tell as guppy's but you can and here is how. Male mollies have a pointed fin near their anus. This fin will be very narrow, and it acts as his penis. Here is a photo: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Black_Molly_3_Male.jpg While female mollies have a more rounded fin that is larger. Here is a pic: http://www.bbayaquariums.com/black-molly.jpg
As you can see there is a large distinction in the two genders. You just have to look. If you are planning on breeding them. You should have at least two females for every male to cut down on stress. Also, mollies will eat their babies, so you should by a breeders net or a three way breeder to put the babies in.

Law Council of Australia
The Law Council of Australia is an association of law societies and bar associations from the states and territories of Australia, and the peak body representing the legal profession in Australia. The Council was formed in 1933 to unite the various state legal associations, in order to represent the profession at a national level and at an international level. The Council is particularly vocal on subjects involving federal law, that is, laws made or considered by the Parliament of Australia. As of 2007[update], the Council represents over 56,000 lawyers across Australia.[1]
The Council consists of representatives from its sixteen constituent bodies, and an executive body elected by the council. The current President is Alexander Ward. Former Presidents include two former Chief Justices of Australia, Sir John Latham and Sir Garfield Barwick, and former High Court Justice Douglas Menzies.[2] A former Attorney-General of Australia, Michael Lavarch, is also a former Secretary-General of the Council. The Council also forms committees on various subjects, such as Indigenous legal issues, national criminal law, and alternative dispute resolution.
In 1986, the Council established a separate Family Law Section, for practitioners specialising in Australian family law. It represents about 2,000 lawyers across Australia.[3] The Council administers a number of awards, including the John Koowarta Reconciliation Law Scholarship, awarded to Indigenous Australians studying law in Australian universities. The award is named for John Koowarta, the plaintiff in the famous Koowarta v Bjelke-Petersen case. The Council sponsors the Human Rights Law Award, awarded by the Australian Human Rights Commission. Recent winners include barrister Julian Burnside.
The Council often comments on the legal policy of the Government of Australia, and on proposed legislation in the Parliament of Australia. It also often gives testimony to parliamentary inquiries. Recent stances adopted by the Council include strong criticism of the Australian Anti-Terrorism Act 2005,[4][5] and a criticism of profiteering in the insurance industry and weaknesses in personal injury legislation.[6][7]

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. In World of Warcraft, that player is you! Each week, Anne Stickney brings you All the World's a Stage with helpful hints, tips and tricks on the art of roleplay in WoW.
Last week, we discussed the ongoing situation in Pandaria, and how your character's journey through Pandaria colors character development in the face of current events. Keep in mind that the column was written for those that wish to take that questing experience and use that to develop their character -- but that's not necessarily the only way to roleplay. The column brought up a really good comment from reader Musicita, who pointed out the following:
When I'm out questing, I don't feel like the quest text is referring to *my* character. My character would not be doing these things. The quest givers are talking to the fictional hero that Blizzard has invented for us to play. It's the Blizzard Hero who does all the brave things, who is the trusted agent of the King, etc., etc. I am not roleplaying that character; questing is an out of character experience.This is an equally valid form of roleplay -- there are just as many people that would rather ignore the questing element in regards to character story as there are those that would like to embrace it. But if your character isn't embroiled in Pandaria, what sorts of things would they notice around the world? What's going on with the rest of Azeroth, if you're a member of the Horde?
It's not pretty.
Current politics and you
Regardless of your character's current whereabouts, there has been a noted shift in the dynamic of how the Horde operates. While the Horde's main forces are on Pandaria, there have been changes in the wind with pretty much every Horde race available. Although your character may not be directly involved with any of this, it's still a giant source of idle chatter around the world -- doubly so with particular races.
- Blood Elf Lor'themar is on the move, and he's not happy. Silvermoon City isn't quite as safe as you'd think it would be. Garrosh Hellscream ordered the sin'dorei to research the Sha, with near-deadly consequences. He's been ordering more sin'dorei to Pandaria to research other magical items and relics as well. While your character may not be in Pandaria, if he has spent any time at all in Silvermoon, it's likely he's heard people talking about it. It's becoming more and more clear to the sin'dorei that Garrosh Hellscream isn't viewing their people as equals so much as tools to be used.
- Troll Vol'jin has also traveled to Pandaria. The troll starting experience points out Vol'jin's worries about Garrosh, and the argument the two of them had, so it's pretty obvious there is a certain mistrust of Warchief Hellscream. In addition, players that head to Orgrimmar might notice that there isn't exactly a warm embrace for the trolls in the capital city. There's a tension between the trolls and the orcs, and the majority of that tension rests on Garrosh's shoulders -- to the point where Garrosh placed the Echo Isles under martial law. It has since been freed by Thrall, but the point is, no troll is safe right now, and that's an uncomfortable place to be.
- Tauren Baine Bloodhoof has also traveled to Pandaria. It's no secret that Baine holds no particular fondness for Warchief Hellscream, and given Garrosh's part in Cairne's death, it's totally understandable. But that's not the only worry the tauren have. They're still rebuilding from the Cataclysm -- Magatha's treachery, Cairne's death, the Grimtotem invasion, the Alliance attacks in South Barrens, the uprising of the quillboar -- the tauren have never had it this hard. Cairne was the one that brought the nomadic tauren together under one roof, but Cairne is gone. The tauren are almost a sitting target right now, and Warchief Hellscream really doesn't seem to be concerned at all.
- Goblin If you are a goblin, you are likely incredibly happy right now. Why? There's a war on! And with a war, there is plenty of profit to be had. While other races might be offended at Garrosh's callous use of their people, as far as the goblins are concerned, it's just another business transaction. Depending on your goblin's morality, he may not even be concerned with how Garrosh is treating others, or what's going on with the rest of the Horde. If the coin is rolling in, life is good.
- Forsaken Oddly enough, life has been fairly quiet on the Forsaken front. Sylvanas has been reticent in sending anyone to help Garrosh directly, and she has yet to set foot on Pandaria as far as we know. But the Banshee Queen is not happy with Hellscream, with his plans, or with how he treats her people. Forsaken players may catch a murmured rumor or two about this, but there is nothing solid to go on as of yet. However, the stories coming from your blood elf allies to the north may be a little disconcerting.
- Orc If you are an orc, it's pretty likely that you're living large and enjoying life to the fullest. Either that, or you're wondering why Thrall has not returned after leaving the Horde to Warchief Hellscream in Cataclysm. However, there have been some unsettling events that might have an adverse effect on your orc. In Orgrimmar, Warchief Hellscream has recruited orcs from the Blackrock clan as advisors and thugs. The Blackrock were enemies of the Horde throughout vanilla and beyond -- so why would Garrosh be making friends now?
Capital city discontent
Each race has its own concerns, and while they may not directly involve Pandaria, they by and large involve Hellscream, and Hellscream's reign. Regardless of what capital city your character happens to be in, you can be certain that every time the Horde gains some small victory, that victory is bellowed about all over the place. So while your character may not be intimately familiar with Pandaria, they are definitely aware that there is a war on between the Horde and Alliance.
And if your character spends time in any one particular capital city, it's likely they'll hear different tales of vague discontent. Thunder Bluff is rebuilding, but the tauren aren't terribly happy with Garrosh. The Echo Isles were under martial law briefly, because Hellscream viewed the trolls as potential traitors. Silvermoon City recently had a visit by an imprisoned Sha, and news of that is quietly disconcerting. In the Undercity, there's a hush -- Forsaken may know that Sylvanas is upset, but they may not be necessarily aware of what is so upsetting.
You'll notice all of these tales of discontent in other capital cities are being listed as varying degrees of quiet. That's because of what is going on in Orgrimmar. Garrosh recruited Blackrock orcs to act as advisors and thugs. They roam the streets of Orgrimmar, actively looking for any mention of dissent. And if they find any, the dissenting individual is quietly taken away and either killed outright, or beaten to a bloody pulp until the lesson is learned: You do not question Garrosh Hellscream.
At least, not where he can hear it.
For Horde roleplay characters that have chosen to avoid Pandaria for whatever reason, the rest of Azeroth is honestly looking pretty grim right now. There has been a shift in the attitude of the Horde. The various races are not allies or equals in Hellscream's eyes. They are tools, cogs for the machine, and it really doesn't matter what losses are suffered as far as the Warchief is concerned -- unless it's a strong warrior.
Pandaria on your own
But what if you'd like your character in Pandaria, without all of the nonsense of joining a militia? What if you didn't want your character to be part of that original strike force? As far as the lore is concerned, there are a few other ways to Pandaria. Sunwalker Dezco and his companions are a really good option for those not wanting their character to blindly follow Hellscream. Stationed at first down in Krasarang Wilds, Dezco and company traveled to Pandaria not on Garrosh's orders, but because they had a vision of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. They wanted to see what that was all about.
As another alternative, Nessingwary and his crew also traveled to Pandaria, supposedly on their own. If your character is an avid game hunter, he might have hitched a ride with this crew. Or perhaps your character was aboard that first fleet that arrived on Pandaria -- the ships that crashed into the shore, the ones that players are being sent to rescue in the first few quests of Mists. Lastly, there's also the option that they are part of the full-on militia that just arrived with patch 5.1.
However, those are the only real, established, canon lore reasons for a potential player's arrival. Anything else would be pushing it into non-canon territory. Can you come up with another idea? Absolutely. It's mostly a matter of whether or not other roleplayers will accept that idea. If you're okay with potentially missing out on roleplay with those that are strict about lore and canon, it's perfectly fine to come up with an alternative.
Keep in mind, however, that the mists surrounding Pandaria did not dissipate until just before that first fleet's arrival. So if you'd like your character to have suddenly arrived via shipwreck, that's fine. If you'd like them to be a stowaway on someone else's boat, that's fine too. If you would like them to have discovered Pandaria ten years ago ... well, that's pushing it.
Next week, we'll look at the Alliance side of politics, and what Alliance roleplayers on the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor are seeing while everyone is off in the wilds of Pandaria.
All the World's a Stage is your source for roleplaying ideas, innovations and ironies. Let us help you imagine what it's like to sacrifice spells for the story, totally immerse yourself in your roleplaying or even RP on a non-RP realm!

SoCon finale tries to save tournament
In 25 years, I've been wrong three times. New York isn't the capital of New York, Contact didn't win Best Picture, and regardless of what happens tonight, the Southern Conference Tournament is not going to be one of the most competitive of the 30 Championship Week has to offer.
The first two games of the four-day event featured Elon upsetting Davidson 66-59, and UNC-Greensboro topping Furman in a 66-65 thriller. Since then, a grand total of ZERO games have been decided by less than ten points. The average margin of victory in those eight contests was 16.75.
"Never seen anything like it," said made-up All-Sessions ticket holder Bryce Jacobson. "Every game is the '64 presidential election. I voted for Goldwater, if you know what I'm saying. You don't? What time does Furman play again?"
The lowest low point in this, the Jim Jarmusch film of Championship Week came Sunday evening when the four top teams in the league met in what was supposed to be a pair of hotly contested semifinal games. Instead, Wofford blasted Western Carolina by 19, only to be outdone by Appalachian State's 77-54 trouncing of College of Charleston hours later.
But there is hope. Tonight's 9 p.m. title game between Wofford and Appy State is a battle of the North and South Division champs, a couple of teams that played a 77-76 classic back on Dec. 7. ASU won that game, but the Terriers are the top overall seed in the tournament and winners of 12 straight.
It's the only nationally televised SoCon game of the year, so I suppose the lopsided theme of the past three days can be saved by a beauty this evening.
Little solace for Bryce Jacobson.

Southern Conference Tournament Preview
Whether it was because they were dominating or being upset, Davidson has been the story of the Southern Conference Tournament for the past four years. A new era begins today, however, as Stephen Curry is gone, the Wildcats are a middle-of-the-pack squad, and the SoCon has four days of basketball on the horizon that should be as competitive as any you'll find this postseason.
SITE: Bojangles' Coliseum/Time Warner Cable Arena: Charlotte, N.C.
DATES: March 5-8
SET-UP: The SoCon is comprised of two divisions, and the champion and runner-up of those divisions are awarded first round byes into the quarterfinals. The remaining eight teams are faced with the unenviable task of having to win four games in four days, beginning Friday.
THE FAVORITE: Wofford (23-8, 15-3)
Regardless of what happens over the next four days, Wofford, which moved to Division-I in 1995 and joined the Southern Conference two years later, has already had the most successful season in program history. Despite the fact that all but one of the top seven scorers on the team are underclassmen, the Terriers have set school records for wins (both in conference and overall) and claimed their first SoCon regular season title. They come to Charlotte riding a program-best 10-game winning streak, and have lost just once (a 70-68 decision at Charleston) in 2010.
Experience is the biggest factor standing between the Terriers and their first trip to the NCAA Tournament. Wofford has never been past the SoCon semifinals and this year's squad boasts just one senior key contributor.
Appalachian State (20-11, 13-5) claimed its 10th North Division title and will begin its march towards its first trip to the dance since 2000 on Saturday. They've lost just once in their past nine games, a one-point loss at Charleston (the team they'd likely face in the semifinals) on Feb. 17. The Mountaineers are one of the three teams to hand Wofford a conference loss, winning on the road by a point way back on Dec. 7. They're coached by Buzz Peterson, whose wife we hope is every bit as hot as she was when he was the head man at Tennessee.
College of Charleston (20-10, 14-4) owns the second best record in the league and is the only SoCon team to have knocked off both Wofford and Appalachian State. Boasting a three-guard lineup and four players who average double figures in scouring, the Cougars are probably the most fun team in the league from a viewer's perspective. Former Georgia Tech head coach Bobby Cremins has guided CoC to the conference title game in two of his three years at the helm, but has yet to get the Cougars over the hump.
Western Carolina (21-10, 11-7) made national waves when they raced out to a 10-1 start and shocked nationally ranked Louisville on the Cardinals' home floor. They've come back to earth since league play began, and went just 4-5 in the month of February. The Catamounts still managed to hold on to the last of the league's four first round byes, and won't begin their tournament run until Saturday.
Davidson (16-14, 11-7) would likely be even more of a threat if they hadn't been shocked in this tournament a year ago, but the Wildcats are still the league's premier program and carry that confidence-inducing knowledge with them into Charlotte. They open the postseason with an Elon team they beat to end the regular season and are fortunate enough to have the weakest of the four bye teams, Western Carolina, waiting for them in the quarterfinals.
Noah Dahlman (Wofford) - The junior forward who earned the coaches' nod for league Player of the Year has scored in double figures 44 straight times and ranks fourth nationally in field goal percentage at 59.2%.
Donald Sims (Appalachian State) - Sims led the SoCon in scoring at 20.4 ppg and was the media's choice as the league's top performer. He's the best free-throw shooter in the country, having missed just eight freebies in 159 attempts (95%).
Andrew Goudelock (College of Charleston) - Part of the Cougars' run-and-gun backcourt, he ranks just behind Sims in scoring (19.2 ppg) and is the most dangerous three-point shooter in the tournament.
Jake Cohen (Davidson) - The 6-10 conference Freshman of the Year leads the Wildcats in scoring (13.4 ppg).
Brendan McKilliop (Davidson) - The coach's son is the league-leader in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.7:1) and provides invaluable experience in this win-or-go home setting.
You can watch every game (for a price) through the league's website.
For everyone else, the semifinals will be carried Saturday night (6, 8:30) on FCS Atlantic, Sport South and ESPN FullCourt. The title game will be carried Monday night at 9 p.m. by ESPN2.
Friday, March 5
Game 1 - (3S) Davidson vs. (6N) Elon, 2:00 p.m.
Saturday, March 6
(2N) Western Carolina vs. Game 1 winner, 2:00 p.m.
Sunday, March 7
Men's Semifinal No. 1 - 6:00 p.m. (TV - SportSouth)
Monday, March 8
COIN-FLIP TOURNAMENT RESULT (Heads is top seed, tails is lesser seed)
Western Carolina over Appalachian State
Davidson has a great shot at upsetting Western Carolina in the quarterfinals and I think that whichever team emerges from that tilt has a good shot to upset Wofford in the semis. Ultimately, I'm going with whoever comes out of the bottom half of the bracket to snag the league's bid to the dance.
I'll say: Appalachian State over Western Carolina for the title.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada gambling regulators have issued a notice to casino operators advising them against investing in the state's nascent medical marijuana industry.
Gaming Control Board member Terry Johnson sent a memo Tuesday reminding licensees that while the state has legalized dispensaries, federal law still prohibits manufacturing and distributing marijuana.
Johnson says that unless federal law changes, it could discredit the state's gambling industry if a casino licensee gets involved in the medical marijuana business.
It was unclear whether the board would discipline licensees who get involved in both industries. Officials with the Gaming Control Board were not immediately available for comment Tuesday morning.
M Resort CEO Anthony Marnell has invested in a company that is seeking a Clark County medical marijuana license. An M spokeswoman couldn't immediately comment on the notice.

The Adventuress Leslie Bailey paid a visit to Wishard Hospital with balloons and homemade cards to cheer up patients she didn't know. / Marc Lebryk / The Star
I recently set out on a different kind of adventure, trekking through the city spontaneously offering nice gestures and services in celebration of World Kindness Week (Nov. 13-20).
Thinking this sounds lame?
Then you've probably never tried to give away cups of coffee to strangers on the street.
In a country fueled by petroleum and caffeine, one would think it'd be easy to unload free Starbucks.
It's not. It's incredibly difficult and even more awkward.
The police officer I approached preferred iced tea and the FedEx delivery man claimed not to touch the stuff. The hotel valet graciously accepted a cup, only to throw it away a block later.
And so I learned my first lesson when it comes to random acts of kindness -- people prefer hot chocolate.
I headed back to Starbucks, purchased a $25 gift card, and asked the cashier to pay for orders until the card ran out. Facing away from the line, I stood listening to the customers' responses, from suspicion and distrust to pleasant surprise.
The subjects at the FACE Spay/Neuter clinic were an entirely different animal -- no pun intended.
With more than 60 cats and 12 dogs to care for, Anne Dubin, president of the clinic, said the FACE could use all the volunteers they can get, but just don't plan on dropping in, as training is required.
"Even one hour a month can make a huge difference," Dubin said, as two very excited dogs pulled me down the street.
I tried to soak in the fresh air and the joyful spirits of cats and dogs at the clinic, preparing my mind for the next stop -- a visit to Wishard Hospital.
Walking into the hospital rooms of five strangers was without a doubt, one of the most intimidating things I have ever done.
With the patients' permission to do so, I entered each room completely unaware of who they were and why they were there.
I greeted four of them with a handmade card and balloon and wished them well, terrified to say the wrong thing or overstay my welcome.
In the fifth room, I left the card and balloon on an empty bed for a woman who had just been diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. She was getting an MRI.
Taking a moment at her bedside, I silently gave my well wishes and swallowed the lump in my throat.
With parents who have survived cancer three times and my own onslaught of medical problems, I've spent more than my share of time in hospitals.
I know that when you're sad and feel awful, the last thing you want to do is chat with a stranger.
I also know the healing power of a kind act and a happy thought, whether it's for the cancer patient in the hospital, the dog that was abandoned on the street or the person in the drive-thru line at Taco Bell.
World Kindness Week may only last eight days and maybe we won't always know what people want or the "best" way to brighten their day.
But to take a chance -- to put ourselves out there and try -- that sounds like the adventure of a lifetime.
Want to try it?
Visit www.randomactsofkindness.org.
Got something for The Adventuress to try? Call Leslie Bailey at (317) 444-6094 and follow her on Twitter at @Lesalina.
While flying glider planes and walking into a swarm of bees is enough to get your adrenaline going, it's important to remember that adventure doesn't have to involve a chance of danger or even leaving the ground.

Or get a regular job and still be poor for the rest of your life.
fair enough I guess….
What. About. Rent.
you can have a shitty life doing something you don't want just for the $ (and never become rich either) or you can figure out a way to at least pay basic bills and still have enough time to do what you want. everyone dies anyway, but at least you'll have done something worth being alive for
Not terribly often that I quote the Christian Bible, however, I find this most apt, particularly in response to those who express cynicism toward the arts and would disparage those who choose to pursue them:
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
— Mark 8:36
Unless your parents are bankrolling your education or you're on a scholarship, stay away from art school.. Student loans are paralyzing. It's like a mortgage MINUS the house.
Gaiman is my favorite fantasy writer at the moment. It makes me happy to see him inspiring so many people. His contributions to humanity will not go unnoticed by me.

Toads – P LarkinWhy should I let the toad work
Squat on my life?
Can't I use my wit as a pitchfork
And drive the brute off?
Six days of the week it soils
With its sickening poison –
Just for paying a few bills!
That's out of proportion.
Lots of folk live on their wits:
Lecturers, lispers,
Losers, loblolly-men, louts-
They don't end as paupers;
Lots of folk live up lanes
With fires in a bucket,
Eat windfalls and tinned sardines-
They seem to like it.
Their nippers have got bare feet,
Their unspeakable wives
Are skinny as whippets – and yet
No one actually _starves_.
Ah, were I courageous enough
To shout, Stuff your pension!
But I know, all too well, that's the stuff
That dreams are made on:
For something sufficiently toad-like
Squats in me, too;
Its hunkers are heavy as hard luck,
And cold as snow,
And will never allow me to blarney
My way of getting
The fame and the girl and the money
All at one sitting.
I don't say, one bodies the other
One's spiritual truth;
But I do say it's hard to lose either,
When you have both.
If you're an artist there's one thing sure to land you lots of publicity and notoriety: art that offends Christians. The latest is Chilean Sebastian Errazuriz, whose popsicle art is...

KEY, JOSEPH S. (1829–1920). Joseph S. Key, Methodist Episcopal bishop and theologian, the son of Caleb and Elizabeth Key, was born at La Grange, Georgia, on July 18, 1829. After graduating from Emory College in 1848 he entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. His first assignment, to a black mission in Athens, Georgia, lasted just a year before he left Athens for Savannah to become an assistant pastor. He served in a series of churches for about two years each, in Columbus, Macon, Augusta, and Atlanta. In 1850 he married Susan McIntosh Snyder. The couple had two sons and a daughter. Susan died about 1890. In 1860 Key received a D.D. degree at the University of Georgia. On May 14, 1886, he was elected to the College of Bishops and assigned to Texas. He lived for a few years in Fort Worth. In 1892 he met and married Lucy A. Kidd (see KIDD-KEY, LUCY A.), founder and president of North Texas Female College. The couple moved the school to Sherman in 1888 and altered the name to Kidd-Key Conservatory of Music. In 1919 the school's name again was changed, this time to Kidd-Key College. Bishop Key traveled in his church duties to China, Japan, and Mexico. He helped establish the Epworth League of Texas. By World War I he was sometimes called the "grand old man of Southern Methodism." In 1916 his wife died; in 1920 Bishop Key died. They were both buried at Sherman.

It's hard to think of this part of the world as the "frontier," yet the settlers here worked just as hard, if not harder, than any of those in those early movies (which came along about 50 years too late) ever portrayed.
They faced the same hardships and dangers, endured droughts and storms, lived in periods of real and imagined terrors and still made Kandiyohi and Monongalia Counties the land they had sought for years — a dream come true.
Kandiyohi County's first newspaper was the Willmar Republican. Its first issue was published at the end of January 1871. Like most, if not all, of the early papers much of the space was filled with "boiler plate " which was news from around the country printed on paper which local publishers purchased from print houses.
This left local editors with about half of the space for local news, local politics (very important reading in those days), and local advertising.
Papers like that were pretty dull reading, but they were the best the frontier papers could offer and were read avidly by the English-speakers who shared their information with newer settlers who had not yet learned their new language.
There were quite a few newspaper men running loose 150 or more years ago. They'd come into a community start setting up the first edition of a newspaper which might last through a couple of issues before folding or go on to be published for years to come.
Some of those publishers would come into a town, find a vacant building in which to set up shop and really go to work. There were some who moved from one town to the next, with their presses coming along in a horse-drawn wagon. They could move out of town in a flash if that was necessary.
One early publisher, in Atwater, was chased out of town with horse whips wielded by the women of the town. At this late date no one knows what made the good ladies of the town angry enough to get out the whips.
Their husbands went along as witnesses and to see that they were not attacked, and to lend helping hands if needed. The publisher left town the next day — as soon as he could pack up his press and type case. He stopped in Willmar but was persuaded to move on.
Another publisher started another newspaper in Atwater that seems to have been a one of a kind. Half of his papers were printed in English and the other half was in Norwegian. That one didn't remain in Atwater long — it came to Willmar, but moved on to greener pastures.
Most people around here are of the opinion that what is now the West Central Tribune was Willmar's first newspaper. Actually, it was the fifth. Dr. Johnson, who liked publishing, got Victor Lawson, then the publisher of the New London Times to join him in Willmar.
Victor turned the Times over to his brother, Eben Lawson, who ran that paper for several years before coming to Willmar to work with his brother on the Tribune. Several years passed, with the Tribune growing steadily all the time.
Lawson was interested in politics at all levels, and used his paper to improve the lot of the working man.
The paper was moved several times settling, finally, in a brick building on Fourth Street which had been built as a cooperative venture. The newness ended quickly when political fanatics painted it yellow. That didn't change the editorial policy one bit.
At first the paper was published weekly, then twice a week then back to once a week again. When the Trib became a daily, it kept the weekly, but produced a paper different from any other. All the local news type in the daily was kept and made into a special Tribune which was produced once a week, with no advertising, and sent to distant subscribers. Later an early edition was published in the forenoon and mailed to subscribers outside of Willmar, and a still later edition was published in the afternoon for people in Willmar and immediate surroundings. That way everyone received their paper on time. Most of today's subscribers receive their papers on time through paper carriers in Willmar and area towns. Auto routes complete the distribution system, and the goal of on-time deliveries is met.

There are no plans for a Broadway cast recording, tour or regional productions at present, a spokesperson confirmed.
Tony Award winner John Rando (Urinetown) directs and John Carrafa (Urinetown, Into The Woods) choreographs the musical, with a score by Jim Steinman with a book by David Ives, Steinman and Michael Kunze (who is also credited with the original German book and lyrics).
Michael Crawford (The Phantom of the Opera), Rene Auberjonois (City of Angels), Mandy Gonzalez, Max von Essen, Ron Orbach, Asa Somers, Liz McCartney, Leah Hocking and Mark Price lead the cast of the show, which attempted to be a both a Mel Brooks-style comedy and serious-minded gothic rock musical.
Set in Lower Belabartokovich, Carpathia in "1880-something," the revamped Broadway production begins, as director Rando best explained: "Sarah and her two friends are out picking mushrooms when they come across this very forbidden territory, near the castle of the Count Von Krolock. They encounter an enormous amazing group of vampires — who happen to love rock 'n' roll and really dance to it well."
The creative team behind Dance of the Vampires includes David Gallo (scenic design) — whose massive drawbridge has received its own applause, Ann Hould Ward (costume design), Richard Ryan (sound), Ken Billington (lighting design), David Lawrence (hair and wigs) and Angelina Avallone (make-up). Patrick Vacariello serves as musical director, Steve Margoshes orchestrates and Michael Reed handles musical supervision.
The Broadway run was produced by Bob Boyett, USA Ostar, Andrew Braunsberg, Lawrence Horowitz, Michael Gardner, Roy Furman, Lexington Road Productions and David Sonenberg, in association with Fuchs/Swinsky, LFG Holdings, Clear Channel Entertainment, Kathryn Conway, Arielle Tepper, Norman Brownstein and William Carrick. The advance was said to be strong due to the appeal of former Phantom of the Opera star Crawford, who was asked to play a Sicilian vampire here.
Tickets to Dance of the Vampires at the Minskoff, 200 West 45 Street, can be purchased via Ticketmaster at (212) 307-4100, (800) 755-4000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com. For more information, visit the show's website at www.danceofthevampires.com.

We picked up some beef ribs and sides last night. The folks inside were super friendly and the food was SO GOOD. Go get some, but make sure to save some for me, ok? :)

CarolPB -
The owners of Uncle Mikes have a very full menu but they, like so many other restaurant folks scrambling to just get up and running, have not had a chance to get it on to their under-construction website at http://unclemikesbbq.com or their Facebook site.
They are hoping to get the "techie" in the family working on it after their other day job in time for the Grand Opening next Monday.

Thanks, Deanie! Hope to try them out soon!
Comment by CarolPB — 6:55 pm August 16, 2010 #
i got a little taste of his BBQ and it was GREAT.
My fave is going to Fondita and then i head to full tilt. if i am lucky i get the al's smoked porter with icecream to make a float. THAT is a good night out. Now I am going to incorporate Mike's. After all of it, if i still feel up to it. i hit the pac man machine. couldn't be happier. i am a growing girl after all, and white center has been very supportive. Oh, yeah, and now I know exactly which cookies at the salvadorian bakery that i prefer… oh, and proletariat is great, "real" pizza. the way it should be…not gloppy but the crust is thin, crisp, and holds up with the goodies. YUM.
i am going to be as big as a house :(

Thats Great!!!! will have to take my son Patrick there
Comment by LMA — 10:50 am August 17, 2010 #
guinivere: You can now get Uncle Mike's BBQ & Full Tilt Ice Creal ALL in once sitting. According to a new post on Facebook – new flavor Vanilla Ice Cream with Mike's Sweet BBQ Sauce Swirl. Sounds delicious!
Comment by JBL — 1:40 pm August 17, 2010 #
I cannot wait for this place to open because Uncle Mike makes the best BBQ ever!
Comment by Michael Girvin — 11:44 pm August 21, 2010 #
We ate there last night – it was AWESOME!!!! Such nice people and excellent food. We had the sampler, red beans and rice, mac and cheese (they had run out of greens) and sweet potato pie.
We'll definitely be going back and soon.
Comment by White Center Gardener — 1:36 pm August 23, 2010 #
Their website is up, with a menu, now:
They have a Facebook page and Twitter page up, also.
Although the price of the BEST SWEET POTATO PIE I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE is actually $3.00 (not the 2.50 the webpage link lists), it's well worth it!
This is the best Barbecue I've had in the Seattle area! I've been ranting for years about the lack of smoky delicious and affordable BBQ in Seattle for years and now I am raving instead about how fantastic Uncle Mike's food is and how lucky I am to be living near them.
Order the pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese or greens on the side your first visit and you'll be hooked for life. Don't say I didn't warn you. ;0) This barbecue is scrumdillyicous!
Get on down there and try it! They're open until midnight on Fridays!

RALEIGH, N.C., Aug 30, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that Growing Opportunity, a micro-finance organization in India dedicated to helping the working poor escape poverty, has deployed its mission-critical applications, including its portfolio management application and mail server, on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. With this combination of Red Hat solutions, Growing Opportunity has reduced the total cost of ownership of its IT infrastructure by fifty percent and has achieved expanded performance and scalability for its systems.
Growing Opportunity turned to virtualization to help it scale its IT infrastructure to meet business growth. "In the next year, we want to reach 150,000 clients and take our employee count to 500," said Immanuel Jeyaraj, head of IT at Growing Opportunity. "Previously, our IT environment was not as stable and scalable as our business needs demanded, so we decided to revamp the infrastructure using virtualization."
The company evaluated several virtualization solutions, including those from Red Hat, Microsoft and VMware. "We ruled out VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V because of the lack of features and flexibility we were looking for and because we wanted a more affordable solution," said Jeyaraj. "We were impressed by the capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, such as live migration and system scheduling, and the solution met our flexibility, scalability, cost, performance and security needs."
Growing Opportunity additionally selected Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the combination of the Red Hat virtualization and operating system solutions would together deliver extended security, performance and ecosystem benefits for its infrastructure.
"Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization not only improved our operational efficiency, reduced hardware and power costs by fifty percent, simplified management and improved server utilization, but it has also made our business more agile to rapidly respond to changing business needs and has helped us to build what we believe is the right infrastructure platform for Growing Opportunity's future," said Jeyaraj.

Comedian Jay Leno recently had the following "smart mouth" observation: "A Harvard study says that one out of 10 deaths are caused by red meat. You know what that really means? Nine of those 10 people were killed by vegetables."

Comedian Jay Leno recently had the following "smart mouth" observation: "A Harvard study says that one out of 10 deaths are caused by red meat. You know what that really means? Nine of those 10 people were killed by vegetables."
Personally, I am not a fan of vegetables. I believe if it is green, it is mean (tasting). The only vegetable I really like is carrot cake. Perhaps not liking vegetables has saved my life?
My doctor, friends and relatives are amazed at the low blood pressure and my low cholesterol numbers. They give God the credit and tell me to cut back on the old-fashion donuts and Twinkies.
I have played sports and worked out in exercise rooms all of my adult life. Throw in playing a lot of tennis, and I've got it made. Exercise is more important than diet — at least in my case it is.
When a vegetarian becomes a boxing champion or becomes an Olympian decathlon winner, I will start eating vegetables three times a day — that's a lot of carrot cake!
• If you spend too much time worrying about the future, your present life will vanish before you realize it. It's not like we have a lot of control over the future. We can't even predict what will happen in the next hour! We do have a lot more control over our present — what is happening right now. People who live in the right now enjoy what is happening at the moment, and they don't lose moments.
• When you have inner peace and happiness, outside sources do not control your peace of mind. You are the shot-caller — not the rest of the world. Giving yourself undivided attention is a smart way to live. If you can't love yourself, you are not going to know how to love others.
• Living in the past doesn't cut it either. The past is over. Let the past go and move forward to the present.
• People who are constantly locked into the "good old days" are pessimistic about the present. They don't want to be in the here and now; they want the 1940s or the 1870s to be their present. They are always disappointed with everything going on, including their life with you.
• Setting goals is all about the future. Those who devote most of their time, energy and mind to future goals are surprised, later in life, when they realize their family and friends were neglected. The goal addict devoted his heart and soul to the future and rarely enjoyed the present world.
• What you think about daily becomes who you are. Those who are obsessed with the future or the past are not with us; they are somewhere else.
• If your entire being is devoted to the future, what happens if you die early? "He/she sacrificed everything important for a future they never experienced" could be their epitaph.
• In her book, "A Cherokee Feast of Days," Volume II, Joyce Sequichie Hifler has the following quote from Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe: "It does not require many words to speak the truth." My life lessons tell me that a long-winded salesman is less trustworthy than a salesman who answers my questions quickly, without a lot of elaboration.
• I prefer politicians whose speeches are short and sweet and to the point. A spouse who avoids long lectures is easy to live with and easy to love. Even a long prayer makes me sleepy and bored. Preachers and teachers who go on and on and on lose their audience after the first 28 minutes. Constant talking eliminates intimacy and eventually cripples the strength of patience. Just get to the point and kiss her!

Minnesota Thunder officials weren't the least bit disappointed when the Los Angeles Galaxy of top-level Major League Soccer were eliminated from the playoffs Sunday.
The Galaxy's loss paved the way for the Thunder to finalize their game against Los Angeles at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 11 at the Metrodome for the inaugural Copa Minnesota.
The game, featuring international superstar David Beckham of the Galaxy, originally was scheduled for Oct. 10, but was postponed when he suffered a right knee sprain on Aug. 29. Complicating a rescheduled date was the Galaxy's late-season surge toward the playoffs.
Had the Galaxy made the playoffs, the Copa Minnesota match, to be played against the Thunder, would have been rescheduled for next spring.
"I'm just really excited that we made this event happen,'' said Manny Lagos, the Thunder's president and director of operations. "It has been a goal of ours to bring an international soccer star to the Twin Cities.''
Lagos said Beckham is contractually obligated to play a large portion of the game.
Copa Minnesota is Beckham's only scheduled appearance in the United States in a non-MLS city. He joined the Galaxy this summer after dynamic tenures with Real Madrid, Manchester United and the English national team.
Tickets have been repriced, starting at $15 for the lower bowl of the Metrodome. Tickets are on sale at www.ticketmaster.com.
Monday, the Thunder were officially confirmed as the Galaxy's opponent.
"It made sense for the Thunder to be the opponent,'' Lagos said. "We felt with our new ownership and our competitive nature, we believe we can be the premier soccer team in the Midwest. It is time for us to let people know that the Thunder will play the best competition available.''

Went to Las Vegas with a friend and heard a lot about this course in Mesquite, NV. A friend and I decided to make the 1:15 drive east to play this course. Aside from it being 105-110* out, this was one of the best courses I've ever played. Extreme desert golf with a TON of elevation change.
Hole #1 par 5
A friend of mine on the tee box of hole # 8 242 yard par 3....all down hill.
Another drop off par 3. Hole # 11 215 yards, again, all down hill.
A view from #14 looking back at #13 green. Big dogleg right around that mountain side (on the left).
I have played Wolf Creek and agree it should be played. Once. While the views are stunning, I found Wolf Creek to be too gimmicky of a course. If anyone is in the area, try Conestoga Golf Club. The course is just a beautiful, conditions were better and the course is far more playable. This is just my opinion.
I can agree with you that some of those holes are a little over the top. The one thing I will say, is that even if you take a cart, you still find yourself walking quite a bit to get to certain tee boxes.
WC is a fun course and worth the trip while you're in Vegas. I have been up there a couple of times and always enjoyed it.
Mesquite is a fun town as well.

Abens Makes It Offical; Signs With SW Minnesota State
Posted By Sports On November 16, 2009 @ 6:35 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Knoxville Girls Basketball Standout Sam Abens put pen to paper Saturday and made it official that she will play for Southwest Minnesota State next season. Abens says the style of play plus already knowing a few of the players who are from Iowa on the team made her decision a little easier. Abens adds her goals for herself in two years are to help the Mustangs win a conference championship and possibly a spot in the national tournament. Southwest Minnesota State is an N-C-A-A division two school located in Marshall, Minnesota and is a member of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.
