Crimes Against Children in Indian Country Conference
April 28 - 30, 2015 | Black Bear Casino Resort in Carlton, MN
Native American youth are impacted by unique and challenging threats that affect their physical and emotional development and well-being. Often tribal communities do not have the same access to the necessary resources for addressing these threats. The Crimes Against Children in Indian Country (CACIC) Conference was formed in response to the often unmet needs of Native youth. The advisory/planning committee is made up of representatives from a wide range of tribal and non-tribal law enforcement, government, and social service agencies. An important goal of the conference is to strengthen relationships between various agencies, tribes, and states, to promote a multi-disciplinary, multi-jurisdictional approach to serving Native young people.

It looks like it should just be called Windows 8.2, since it's pretty much Windows 8.1 with some of the things that should have been there from the start. I usually try out new operating systems before official release, but I'm not even bothering with this one.
Microsoft has forever tainted the number 8 so bad that other companies are avoiding it.
AMD and Nvidia both skipped an '8' series with their video cards.
My guess is that both companies were like 'please do not ruin the number 9 as well' so MS went with Windows 10. Which I guess also brings some parity with Apple (OS X). I anxiously await Windows Z.
So, by my measure, Chrome is winning the version wars, now at version 37. That's more than 3 times as good as IE 11.
I'm just rambling about marketing nonsense. I'm sure the OS is an improvement. But this is getting to be like the opposite of the original Star Trek movies, where only the even-numbered movies were any good.

"With the Aid of God and the F.S.a.": The Louisiana Farmers' Union and the African American Freedom Struggle in the New Deal Era
de Jong, Greta, Journal of Social History
In August 1938, a member of the interracial Louisiana Farmers' Union (LFU) wrote in a letter to the union office, "My crop is coming along fine. With the aid of God and the F.S.A. I hope to establish a better home for myself and family and to help my fellow brothers." [1] This simple statement reflected some profound changes in the southern political economy that threatened to weaken plantation owners' control over their workers and encouraged greater militancy among black people in the 1930s. Widespread poverty accentuated by the Great Depression precipitated a decade of experimentation by the federal government in an attempt to find solutions to social problems. The limits of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal reforms were soon exposed in the South, where local elites' control over the administration of federal programs allowed for discrimination against African Americans and the displacement of thousands of sharecroppers and tenants from the land. In response to these developments, rural poor people joined together in organizations like the LFU to fight planter abuses of the New Deal and demand a fair share of federal aid. [2]
This article examines African Americans' participation in the LFU, showing how they used the union to attack inequalities and injustices that were the foundations of the white supremacist social order. Although studies of similar groups like the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union and the Alabama Share Croppers' Union exist, little attention has been given to the Louisiana Farmers' Union. [3] Viewed in isolation, or in comparison with the civil rights movement of the 1960s, the union's brief appearance and the activities of its members might not seem to be particularly important. Placing the events of the 1930s in a broader historical context helps to illuminate their significance. Prior to the emergence of the LFU, black people in rural Louisiana were actively engaged in attempts to gain economic, political, and social justice, although their efforts were usually confined to clandestine or unorganized forms. The New Deal and the arrival of union organizers in their communities provided a chance to take the freed om struggle to another level. Many African Americans embraced the union as an ally in their ongoing fight to gain fair compensation for their labor, adequate education for their children, a chance to participate politically, and protection from violence. Black Louisianians' involvement in the LFU showed an awareness of the power of collective action and an appreciation of the causes of their problems that resurfaced in the decades after World War II, when the disintegration of the plantation system enabled a more powerful protest movement to emerge. Examining African American activism in rural Louisiana over time reveals some continuity in the goals of rural black people, even though the methods of achieving them did not remain static.
The Plantation Economy and African American Strategies of Resistance in the Early Twentieth Century
The sugar and cotton plantation regions where the LFU focused its organizing efforts were among the most repressive areas in the nation. Situated along the Y-shape formed by the Mississippi and Red Rivers, parishes such as Pointe Coupee, Iberville, St. Landry, West Feliciana, Rapides, Natchitoches, and Concordia had reputations for the brutal treatment of African Americans dating back to the antebellum period. [4] The post-Civil War plantation system only slightly mitigated the harshness of slavery. Faced with a chronic shortage of capital and the necessity of borrowing heavily themselves, planters concluded that the only way to make the production of the state's staple crops profitable was to keep labor costs as low as possible. In the decades after Reconstruction, many Louisiana plantations came to resemble the rationalized, efficiency-driven enterprises associated with northern capitalism and industry. Corporate owners and absentee landlords gave little thought to the welfare of their workers, with whom t hey rarely had any direct contact. …

Adventures in Phonics, Levels A, B, and C
|Publisher: Christian Liberty Press
Review last updated: December 2013
|Instant KeyPublishers InfoPricing
Adventures in Phonics
Adventures in Phonics teaches phonics in a traditional manner with phonograms and rules. It begins in Level A with single-letter phonograms, teaching both upper- and lower-case letters simultaneously. While it might be used as your first phonics program, children should already have some familiarity with letters and sounds before beginning Level A since the pace of the course is fairly intensive. Adventures in Phonics can be used for core phonics instruction or as a supplement alongside other methods. It is similar in concept to the Modern Curriculum Press "Plaid" Phonics series, but it is definitely more challenging. Christian Liberty Press incorporates Levels A, B, and C into their kindergarten, first, and second grade programs respectively. Some children will not be ready to complete Level A before first grade.
Student workbooks are printed in two colors (e.g., black and shades of blue on white pages) and use clip-art and line-drawn illustrations. Workbooks include space for children to write, but lines are relatively small for the suggested grade levels—1/2 inch in height for Level A, 5/16 in Level B, and a mixture of 5/16 and 7/16 in Level C. Pages in Levels B and C look a little crowded and busy. Workbook pages are mostly typical fill-in-the-blank or circle-the-correct-answer exercises. While the visual look of the workbook pages isn't impressive, appearance isn't likely to be a big issue one way or the other. But the size of the lines might be an important consideration.
The teacher's manuals have overprinted answers on reduced images of student pages as well as brief, easy-to-follow lesson plans. Preparation for each lesson is minimal (e.g., having particular flashcards on hand).
Christian content shows up both in the vocabulary and, occasionally, in sentences in the exercises.
Level A presents basic phonics covering most of the phonograms for both short and long vowel pronunciations as well as many vowel and consonant digraphs. Vowel sounds are taught in "sound families" (e.g., all the ways of making the /ō/ sound). Children also learn manuscript printing. By the end of Level A, students are reading and writing words like "bridge, daughter, giraffe," and "pledge."
If you want to use this as your core program, lessons need to be taught using the information in the teacher's manual and a companion set of phonics flashcards and charts (also published by CLP). Level A's manual shows how to correlate the flash cards.
Through much of Level A, students are given models of letters, words, and sentences to trace and copy—they trace letters and words through the first third of the book, then begin copying. Periodic reviews challenge students to write words without models to trace or copy. Most children will need additional handwriting and reading practice beyond what is required in these lessons. On page 38 of the teacher's manual, the student is encouraged to start reading the first book in the Christian Liberty Phonics Reader series. Reading subsequent readers in the series is indicated at appropriate intervals.
Little attention is given to teaching how to blend the sounds together for words. Instead, children practice writing and saying words. This might be sufficient for some children, but others might need more practice on blending.
Note that Level A is now available in the third edition. Level B is in its second edition (2013), but it matches Level A in appearance. Most changes from earlier editions are cosmetic —-updated graphics and covers. However, Christian Liberty Press is also revising student books to try to make pages a little less crowded.
Level B reviews previously taught information then continues with more challenging phonics, syllabication, accented syllables, prefixes, suffixes, apostrophes, synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and alphabetizing. Level C covers essentially the same topics, advancing the level of difficulty with more challenging vocabulary, additional rules, smaller typestyle, and more activities to complete per page. Phonics rules are presented in charts at the end of student workbooks for both Levels B and C.
Instructions are at the top of student workbook pages for Levels B and C, and you might find that you rarely use the teacher's manuals. For both Levels B and C you will almost certainly want to use supplemental readers whether from CLP or another source. By the end of Level C, students should be able to read words such as "stretch, psalm, rhubarb, rhythm, pheasant, photograph," and "orchestra."
The Adventures in Phonics series offers a very inexpensive option whether it's used for core phonics instruction or supplemental work. While it's not as visually impressive as some other programs, it is very easy for parents to use and it does a solid job of teaching phonics.

151 reviews | 3.9 out of 5
Great Smoker and a great price, this thing is plenty big for a first time smoker, I read reviews on people complaining about the door to add coals and wood is too small, its seems to work fine for me, you only add coals once every hour and a half if that, I added a few heavy hand full's of coal twice in 5 hours of smoking, get some Kingsford chips a small bag is 2.99, soak them in water/ dry and throw them on it will smoke for about 20 min or so each time 2 hand full's, if I knew smoking was this easy I would have been doing it a long time ago, 39 bucks at my Wal-Mart, get a chimney starter it saves tons of time and food taste better with no lighter fluid.
I maded the decision to purchase the Brinkmann smoke n grill over the weber because of the price. Also, the Brinkmann has been rated as one of the best smokers. Set up was easy...just follow the instructions and be sure to cure your new smoker. My only advise is to load up the charcoal pan full of charcoals. Then, add a few hot charcoals from a charcoal chimmey. You get a much longer burn. Do not use lighter fluid...it will only shorten the burn time and you'll have to add more coals. Also, purchase a meat thermometer. You don't not want to open the lid and lose hit during the smoking process. Besides the tips, I smoked my first chicken thighs and they turned out great! Next step is pork shoulder. Enjoy and good luck!
I really like this smoker. I have had it for about 2 years and use it often. I have found some ways to improve the design however which are pretty simple. The first one I found searching the internet and that was to mount the support legs on the outside of the smoker rather than the inside. If you do this you need to purchase 2 or 3 patio bricks to support the charcoal pan, these bricks are cheap. Use the bricks to support the charcoal pan then when you need to add charcoal just lift the entire smoker off of the bricks/ charcoal pan, add charcoal, and replace smoker over coals. You can also put a small grill rack in bottom of charcoal pan to improve airflow under coals. I like to control the airflow so I usually seal around lid with rolled up aluminum foil. I drilled 3 holes in the lid and installed a round damper so I can control the upper airflow and temperature easier. To make clean up easier I usually buy a $1 aluminum pan to place the meat in on the smoker racks. All of this may sound like a lot of trouble for a smoker you purchase but the additions really don't cost much and can help the performance of the smoker.
This was my second purchase of this item. The first was 15 years ago! That is how durable this smoker is. It works great and is easy to use. We smoke chicken, ham, turkey, fish. It saves money, you can smoke your own meats and create gifts baskets for friends and family on holidays. I would recommend this to anyone who likes smoked meats or who wants to try their hand at smoking meats. At this price you can't lose!
This smoker was a great price, easy to put together, and looks more valuable than what I paid for it. We have used it once so far, and the meat turned out great! Only thing I would change on newer models is an easier way to add more coals to the bottom. Right now we have to take all the trays out to add more. The access door on the side isn't quit low enough for this.
First, regarding the top, it is not meant to fit snub. Read that a different brochure. Also you have to let coals burn before putting on meat and putting on the top. Otherwise, coals will die out. I have used multiple times already and there is a learning curve. Botton line, I love it. Ohhhh, try some turkey legs seasoned and wrapped in foil. Good eating.
I never used a smoker before. I am a Diners, Drive In's and Dives addict and most of what they do is barbecue/smoking meat and I wanted to give it a shot. My father in law and I always talk Triple D so I thought on a whim that for Fathers Day my wife and I would buy him one.
I bought non lighter fluid infused charcoal, lighter fluid, Jack Daniels infused wood chips and for my first time smoking, I kept it simple. I only had about 6 hrs so I chose chicken leg/thigh and some country style ribs. I did a shake and bake style rub with some seasoned salt and some chicken rub and fired up the smoker. Just used water in the pan, no added marinades. Temp never got above halfway through "ideal" but also never got below "ideal" either. Six hours later we dug in and was ecstatic how good it turned out. It was absolutely an experiment and would do lots different but re the review summary, "good product, better price".
In fact, I am on line now buying my own!!
This grill is the ultimate cooking device. This single device allows you to cook a variety of different foods in a variety of different styles. I have been using a charcoal smoker for over 20 years and would never have anything else. I love it.
I just tried out this smoker and LOVE IT! The meat was perfect. Everybody loved the results.
This grill is an outstanding grill for my needs. Smoke a turkey and ribs at the same time and yet the flavor of the meat was tasty and juicy. Highly recommended for someone who enjoys real smoke flavored BBQ.
If you are a novice such as i am this is a great lil smoker. It helped me win our family cook off with a nice smoked brisket. Plus the price is just right.
Works great... Even though I used half the suggested amount of charcoal, the flavor was good; just took longer to smoke because it wouldn't maintain the ideal temperature. More charcoal yields higher heat so don't skimp on the charcoal. I have no complaints, but be patient with assembly.
This isn't a bad smoker but it isn't really usable right out of the box. This was my first smoker and I had a very hard time getting the temperature up over 200 which is about the minimum to smoke safely. I moved the legs the outside and added legs to the charcoal pan so it stands independently. This allows me to life the smoker off the charcoal. The little door on the side really isn't practical for adding lump charcoal. I drilled some holes in the charcoal pan to allow better air flow and this helped get the temperature up a lot. The temperature gauge that ships is useless as it doesn't have the actual temperature. I simply drilled a new hole and installed a new one. Once I had done these things it worked like a champ. I have used it for more than 2 years now and it has made some amazing meals.
This is actually my 3rd smoker. I lost the others during Hurricane Katrina. My family was thrilled to see this old friend. Will be used at least three times a month from now.
I love this smokers i made some jerky and it came out excellent. The only thing i didnt care for is putting it together, it was kind of difficult because of its huge round shape. Other than that it grills and smoke great.
My wife bought this for me for my birthday. We used it the first time to smoke a small turkey. It worked just as expected. It was my first attempt at smoking any kind of meat. It turned out deliciously. Since then, I have used it twice as a grill, to cook steaks and salmon. That worked fine, too. So I got a smoker and grill for the price of a grill!
I ordered ths online because it was not available in the store. The shipping was cheaper than me using the gas in my car to drive to Walmart! It arrived in three days. It works great, to grill, sear and smoke. Easy to maintain temperature and keep the water pan from drying out with the door on the side. Lots of room for smoking but limited on grill size.
I really liked smoked meats and have wanted to try smoking myself. Several people I know have very expensive smokers, but I was not willing to spend a lot since I had no experience at smoking. I purchased the Brinkmann Smoke'N Grill Charcoal Smoker and figured for the price I could just use it for a charoal grill if the smoker part did not work out. On my first attempt, after curing the smoker as directions stated, I tried smoking a pork loin and the Brinkmann Smoke'N Grill Charcoal Smoker made me look like I had been smoking for years. I would recommend this product to anyone who can read the directions and follow instructions.
This was a gift for my daughter and boyfriend. They have enjoyed using it on the weekends when they get together with friends. It came with everything they needed to get started and said the recipes are easy to follow.
This the second Brinkmann charcoal smoker for us. Can't beat it for the money, (and shipping was cheap) even the stainless models have the same cooking grates as this one. I put a screw through each leg and it sits on top of the gas turkey fryer burner perfect, this works great if it is windy or you need additional heat. Or you can wrap the bottom area with some thin metal if the wind gets too bad. I added a thermometer from an old grill that actually reads temperature in degrees instead of "cool, ideal, hot". The charcoal door could be bigger, but for the price it's an excellent product.

One of three Americans over age 80 develops Alzheimer's disease. Patients and families often ask me what can be done to keep the brain healthy. I have come up with a list of what I consider important in maintaining brain health. While this list is more pertinent to an older group, some parts of it are relevant for younger folk as well. A guiding principle is to remember that what is good for the heart is just as good for the brain.
Fire up different brain areas for a healthier brain. For example, try Math Mondays, Tennis Tuesdays, Waltzing Wednesdays, Tchaikovsky Thursdays, Friends on Fridays, Sailing Saturdays and Sudoku Sundays. Use a part of the brain you don't use routinely. If you are a juggler, take up crossword puzzles. If you are a writer, you might benefit more from cross country skiing than from Sudoku.
A Mediterranean diet, high in fruit and vegetable content is a good heart diet, which means a good brain diet also. Aim for seven to eight servings daily of fatty fish, dark green, yellow and orange vegetables and fruits as well spices like ginger and curcumin.
Make sure to keep your levels of low density lipoproteins and triglycerides low
Optimal pressures are below 135/90 mmHg, but just a quarter of Americans adequately treats high blood pressure, and half of us are unaware that we even suffer from it. Controlling blood pressure keeps the heart healthy and prevents strokes.
Football and other sports that have a high propensity for head injury. Repeated head injury increases risk for Alzheimer's. Always wear a seat belt and use a helmet whenever possible.
Keeping diabetes and blood sugar under control provides both primary and secondary benefits on cognition.
Two common causes of falls as we age are vertigo (a sensation of movement when not moving), and weak hip girdle muscles. Positional vertigo is treated with a simple five minute Epley maneuver in your physician's office. Daily squats strengthen your pelvic muscles. Fold your arms and rise slowly from a dining chair while counting to three, then sit down slowly while counting to three, squeezing your buttock muscles the whole time. Repeat 10 times at breakfast and 10 times at dinner.
Physical activity, especially aerobic activity, floods the brain with nutrients and is correlated with better mental function as well as new nerve cell growth. Try aerobic exercise for 45 minutes three times a week.
Chronic depression interferes with cognition, although depression does not cause dementia. Learn to forgive and forget as anger raises cortisol levels, killing brain cells.
Through rich friendships and connections on a daily basis. Ongoing social engagement is positively correlated with cognitive health.
Work as long as you can, doing what you love to do. Work helps maintain routine and keeps you challenged in many of the little ways that matter.
Sleep for seven to eight hours a day, every day. Catch up sleep is not the same as daily sleep. Prioritize it. Sleep consolidates and improves memory for better daily functioning.

SAN FRANCISCO – Taking a closer look at the Green Bay Packers' 34-28 loss to the San Francisco 49ers Sunday at Candlestick Park, in what might have been the teams' final meeting there before the 49ers move into Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara next season:
Thumbs up: The good news is, Clay Matthews taking flight and whacking 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick delivered actual, tangible evidence that the Packers defense's tough talk was more than just that. They do indeed plan on taking the fight to opponents and being more aggressive.
The bad news? It was a stupid thing to do, as the Packers linebacker admitted after his unnecessary roughness penalty for his late hit out of bounds proved to be a critical play in the Packers' loss.
"First off, it wasn't a very smart play. I had already committed to hitting the quarterback. I mean, I guess I should have figured he was going to step out of bounds, but it's nothing personal. I went up to him later, and was joking around with him but not a very smart play. That's kind of the end of that."
Asked what he was thinking on the play, on which Kaepernick had clearly run out of bounds after a 4-yard gain, Matthews, who spied Kaepernick throughout the game, admitted that all the focus the Packers put on keeping Kaepernick contained after last year's playoff embarrassment might have factored into his bad decision.
"I was watching him run out of the pocket, obviously I see him go up the sideline," Matthews said. "I had committed as far as tackling him. Like I said, it wasn't a very smart play. I probably could have eased off of him but with obviously all the emphasis of him running around, getting him down, I'm sure that weighs on you. But it wasn't a smart play and we were fortunate enough to have them get their unsportsmanlike as well to force us into another third down, but once again, we didn't get the stop."
What the Packers did get, though, was physical. Not only did they not back down when left tackle Joe Staley turned Matthews' hit – which 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said was "certainly" dirty – into a brawl, but they also stuffed the run up front. Facing perhaps the best offensive line in the league, the Packers started B.J. Raji, Ryan Pickett and Johnny Jolly up front, played a ton of base 3-4 defense and contained both Kaepernick (seven carries, 22 yards) and Frank Gore (21 rushes, 44 yards). Only Kendall Hunter's 23-yard run kept the Packers from an even more dominating performance (34 rushes, 90 yards, 2.6 yard average) than they had.
"I thought they played tough," coach Mike McCarthy said of the defensive line. "I thought our defense was on the field too long. They lined up and put us in base and threw the ball a bunch on us. The three big guys rushed a lot more than you probably would like, but there was a reason why we wanted an extra guy. We have great respect for the 49ers offensive line."
Thumbs down: McCarthy promised an improved running game, and we did see it – especially on the Packers' final touchdown drive, when Eddie Lacy ran five times for 26 yards, including his go-ahead 3-yard touchdown run. But the blocking up front and Lacy's performance was too uneven to consider the running game a success.
Lacy finished with 14 carries for 41 yards (2.9-yard average), although after having his first four carries gain a not-so-grand total of 1 yard, the productivity did improve. The problem was that Lacy also earned himself a spot on the bench with his fumble at the Packers' 14-yard line early in the second quarter, which led to Matthews' penalty and the 49ers' second touchdown.
Asked to assess Lacy's play, McCarthy replied: "Just OK. He had a horrendous start. I pulled him out of the game and I thought he picked it up in the second half."
It didn't help that left guard Josh Sitton was flagged for a pair of holding penalties and one illegal hands to the face penalty. The three flags wiped out 20 yards of rushing yardage.
"Starting the game, we didn't have the production we were looking for," right guard T.J. Lang said. "We had a couple nice runs that unfortunately were called back because of penalties. We got plenty of opportunities to run the ball today. We just didn't take advantage enough to make positive plays."
Lacy did rebound, though, carrying five times for 26 yards (5.2-yard average) during the Packers' go-ahead touchdown drive, but his lack of productivity early and the fumble prevented his NFL regular-season debut from being more productive.
"I should've covered up more and went down," Lacy said of the fumble. "Whenever you fumble you automatically feel bad because no turnover is a good turnover. But sitting down, I had a chance to calm myself down and regroup and come out and keep playing.
"I learned a lot. The next game, I know what to expect. I know the speed of the game versus the preseason and I just have to keep playing football."
Play of the day: Jordy Nelson's 37-yard sideline catch on the Packers' go-ahead touchdown drive was as good as it gets. With the ball at midfield, quarterback Aaron Rodgers rolled to his left and fired a dart along the sideline, putting the ball outside where only Nelson could get it. Nelson made sure he was in bounds and dead-legged as he reached out to snatch the ball.
"He got out of the pocket a little bit and threw the ball up and gave me a chance to make a play. You won't get a great ball every time, and that was exactly where he wanted to throw it," Nelson said. "We've got to adjust and make the play. It's all about making plays and we didn't make enough of them."
Asked if he thought the play would have held up on review had the 49ers challenged, Nelson replied, "I think so. I thought my feet were down. It's one of those things that you plant your feet and just fall. If you're able to catch it, then you're in. I'm sure they had all the reviews possible. If not … good."
Player of the game: Nelson and Randall Cobb played just three snaps apiece in the preseason – all of them in the finale at Kansas City – because of injuries, but they didn't appear to miss a beat. Nelson (seven receptions, 130 yards, one touchdown) and Cobb (seven receptions, 108 yards, one TD) became the first Packers receivers to put together 100-yard receiving games since they turned the trick against Houston last season. In that game, Nelson had nine catches for 121 yards and three TDs, and Cobb had seven catches for 102 yards.
"I thought Jordy played excellent," McCarthy said . ". Jordy probably didn't get enough opportunties, particularly the way they were playing us. We wanted to run the ball and get a little more action passing game. I thought we were up and down in that area. But I thought Aaron did a good job making plays. I thought our perimeter group for the most part played pretty good."
In case you missed it:
> Cobb and Jeremy Ross shared punt return duties. Ross, who fumbled on the Packers' 9-yard line in the playoff game in January, and Cobb each had one return and one fair catch. Cobb's return was a 16-yarder. Ross took all the kickoff returns and averaged just 13.3 yards on three returns. After the 49ers took a 31-28 lead, Ross brought the ball out from 4 yards deep and was stopped at the Packers' 9. The Packers went three-and-out and punted.
> Punter Tim Masthay handled kickoffs instead of Mason Crosby and boomed four of the five into the end zone, with three being touchbacks. On his first kickoff, Masthay made a terrific form tackle on Perrish Cox after a 30-yard return.
> The Packers' hopes of pulling off a Hail Mary to win the game were dashed when Rodgers was pressured on the game's final play and was unable to throw it to the end zone. After taking over with 26 seconds to play, the Packers put themselves in position with Cobb's 38-yard catch and a Rodgers spike with 3 seconds left. But the best Rodgers could do after being pressures was a backhanded flip to fullback John Kuhn. "The play was called to throw the ball into the end zone on the final play but the protection obviously broke down and we didn't get that done," McCarthy said.
> Rodgers made a point of going right back to tight end Jermichael Finley after Finley bobbled a dropped pass into an interception. Finley, who finished with five catches for 56 yards, had a 12-yard touchdown catch after the miscue. "That's the thing we've been working on. We've been talking daily about patience, when you face adversity you've got to overcome it," Finley said. "He said, 'Big fella, I'm coming back to you.' That gives me confidence and makes me comfortable."
Inside the game: The game truly is what the cliché says: A game of inches. Early in the fourth quarter, with the 49ers leading 24-21, the Packers faced third-and-10 from their own 20-yard line. The 49ers sent linebacker Patrick Willis on a blitz, and Rodgers recognized the play and threw hot to Finley. But fellow linebacker NaVorro Bowman dropped and sprinted from Rodgers' left across the formation at the snap to tip Rodgers' pass to Finley, who was coming out of the right slot. Bowman got just enough of the ball that Finley couldn't snare it, and the Packers punted.
"He got a piece of it. They had the blitz and he was trapping over there," Finley said. "He got the ball."
And if he hadn't? Finley saw green grass and opportunity.
"Hopefully (it's) a touchdown," Finley said. " It was a big hole."
Quote, unquote: "There definitely were some heated moments, and we didn't like the way the season ended last year. We wanted to come out and make a statement, this season – focusing on this year, we wanted to make a statement early and often. And we had our opportunities and we didn't quite cash in when we should have." – Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb
Injury report: The only new injury, according to Packers public relations director Jason Wahlers, was that outside linebacker Nick Perry sustained a stinger late in the game.
But the injury that impacted the game came on Friday, when safety Morgan Burnett showed up for work complaining of discomfort in his hamstring, which he'd originally injured on Aug. 23 in a preseason game against Seattle. After feeling fine on Wednesday and Thursday, suddenly Burnett – after playing every single defensive snap last season – was on the shelf. Jerron McMillian and M.D. Jennings both started at safety and with Casey Hayward (hamstring) also inactive, Jarrett Bush was forced into the lineup in the dime defense. McMillian, Jennings and Bush each gave up touchdown passes.
"All week I felt good," Burnett said. "(Then) we came in Friday and it didn't feel so good, so we just tried to play it day by day. Today it kind of felt the same as it did on Friday, so now we're just playing it day by day."

Colleges and universities have come under increasing pressure to demonstrate the effectiveness of their programs and to demonstrate accountability to a variety of internal and external constituencies to meet specific performance objectives set by state and university governing bodies and to demonstrate what students are actually learning. In some cases, a portion of a university's funding may be tied to achievement of these performance objectives. Traditionally, higher education has not done a very good job of using evidence to plan programs, linking program planning with evaluation, assessing program results, and improving them based on evaluation data. This course will provide an overview of approaches to evaluation and assessment in higher education.
|Program Administration
|Description of course Program Administration :
|Social work programs operate in the context of a rapidly changing higher education environment. In order to remain responsive to environmental changes, organizational structure and function must have sufficient flexibility to adapt, while maintaining a consistent focus on institutional and program mission. Designing and administeringprograms which have these qualities requires a knowledge and value base which, while drawing on traditional management theories, is in many important ways unique to social work. This course is designed to enable students to understand the knowledge base required for program management and to apply it in a manner consistent with social work values.
|Supervision, Ment. & Fac Dev
|Description of course Supervision, Ment. & Fac Dev :
|This course focuses on the theoretical and technical approaches to the educational, administrative and supportive functions of the supervisor, as well as roles and responsibilities related to mentoring, monitoring and evaluating faculty/staff performance. This course examines supervision and faculty/staff development as management functions within higher education, and within the context of social work values and ethics. Emphasis is given to the knowledge and skills required to motivate and retain an effective and multicultural faculty and staff, to effectively supervise varying levels of faculty and staff (full-time and adjunct faculty, student workers, staff) as well as programs, teams, and school/college units. Analytical skills (e.g., conceptual and diagnostic skills) and application skills are addressed; supervisors/administrators must be able to both think and execute if they are to be effective. Students will be encouraged to think from an organizational systems perspective - managing and leading with a broad perspective and an emphasis on results and process, values and ethics. Action should be preceded by data collection and analysis; effective behavior depends on analysis of situational contingencies and action grounded in that analysis. Students will be encouraged to identify key elements and principles for effective purposeful and responsive administration and organizational performance within the academic context.
|Independent Study
|Description of course Independent Study :
|Independent study refers to a type of learning contract in which a registered student and/or professor have the responsibility for defining, organizing and evaluating a special project of limited scope (limited in content and in the time designated for its completion). independent study provides an opportunity for students to receive one-to-one instruction and guidance, while pursuing a subject of special interest.

|DSW Capstone Seminar
|Description of course DSW Capstone Seminar :
|This course serves as a project-focused capstone seminar with the goal of preparing students to write for scholarly publication, as they begin to both (1) develop a scholarly agenda, and (2) prepare a banded dissertation (which takes the form of three articles suitable for submission for publication). With this aim, and in keeping with the strategy outlined by Princeton professor Belcher (2009), students will be invited to choose a former paper of theirs from another course that they would like to develop into a scholarly manuscript. This paper will serve as a "real life case example to be worked on throughout the course and will serve as the final product for the course, itself. The manuscript will follow APA format and ideally will be able to serve as one of the three articles required for the banded dissertation. The instructor will share drafts and components of her or his own writing for critique and graduate faculty will be invited as guest authors to speak to their own writing (their process and products, challenges and successes) with the goal of serving as consultants to students in developing a successful and sustainable writing strategy.
|Banded Dissertation
|Description of course Banded Dissertation :
|Candidates for graduation will have submitted three publication quality applied research articles for peer-review. These articles will be linked by issues, theme, pedagogy, or population. One article will be research-based. Articles to reviewed and judged publication quality by committee.

Research & Analysis
The payday lending industry frequently supports what they call reform of their own industry in state legislative battles, because they know that most of the measures in debate will not slow the rate at which they can make repeat payday loans to the same borrower. Our report, Phantom Demand, shows how the industry depends on "churned" borrowers, those who have to take a new loan before their next payday, for three quarters of their business.
In public, payday lenders say their loans are for infrequent use. In private, they say things like this: "The theory in the business is you've got to get that customer in, work to turn him into a repetitive customer, long-term customer, because that's really where the profitability is." (Dan Feehan, CEO of Cash America, remarks made at the Jeffries Financial Services Conference, 6-20-07)
