The READ Act
The Colorado Reading To Ensure Academic Development Act (Colorado READ Act) was passed by the Colorado Legislature during the 2012 legislative session. The READ Act repeals the Colorado Basic Literacy Act (CBLA) as of July 1, 2013, keeping many of the elements of CBLA such as a focus on K-3 literacy, assessment, and individual plans for students reading below grade level. The READ Act differs from CBLA by focusing on students identified as having a significant reading deficiency, delineating requirements for parent communication, and providing funding to support intervention. Other components of the Colorado READ Act include a competitive Early Literacy Grant and a resource bank of assessments, instructional programming, and professional development.
READ Act Rules
At its December 9, 2015 meeting, the State Board of Education held a Rulemaking Hearing for the READ Act Rules. At that time the State Board voted to table the existing READ Act rules and re-notice the rules to allow for further discussion on items within the rules that were not originally noticed.
The rulemaking hearing for the READ Act rules is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 10, 2016 in the State Board room, 101.
We encourage you or members of your staff to attend the rulemaking hearing for these rules on February 10 to provide oral testimony. You may also provide written comment to these rules via reply to this email or to email@example.com.
The Early Literacy Grant Program for 2016-17 is open and an application training webinar will be held on Wednesday, February 2, 2016. Read more

Don't Let Your Blueberries Go to the Birds!June 10, 2013
Having trouble keeping birds out of blueberries? Yep, it's about that time when the fruit begins to turn from green to pale gray and then suddenly dots of deep purple-blue cover the shrubs. And, we humans aren't the only ones watching for the day those sweet orbs are ready to devour. All sorts of wild birds are out there keeping an eye on our crops, too.
Fortunately, it's relatively easy to keep those hungry winged beasts out of your blueberry patch. All it takes is a bit of temporary netting. And now's the time to wrap your shrubs in this simple, near-invisible material. Buy netting here.
Here's how & when to work with it:
Although netting could go up earlier in the season, when shrubs are in bloom, we tend to wait until the fruits are a bit more formed. Blooms tend to easily break free from the bushes under the simplest touch, and without those flowers, no fruits would form. Not-quite-ripe berries, on the other hand, are usually more tightly attached to the shrubs, and while fragile, don't seem to break off as readily. So, that's when we put out the netting.
Covering a blueberry bush in netting is fairly simple. Unroll (or if you're recycling last year's netting, untangle) your netting, so it will roll out relatively easily. You don't want to be struggling with it a lot as you're putting it over the delicate branches and fruit.
Carefully drape the netting over the entire bush or patch, taking care to tuck the edges of the fabric around all of the fruit. If possible, cover the plant all the way to the ground or some wily birds will hop under the netting and gorge themselves from underneath.
And, that's about it.
Keep an eye on the patch and the netting. Some dingbat birds — especially new fledglings — may still try to get to your fruit, tangling themselves in the netting along the way. We caught a young robin in our netting a few years back and were able to set it free. We have heard tales of other gardeners finding dead birds strangled in netting. Such is the cost of living in the great outdoors, I suppose.
When your fruit is ripe, and you're ready to harvest, carefully lift the netting away from your fruit to pick. Or, duck under the netting as you go. As the fruit becomes more ripe, its attachment to the branch also weakens with the intent being to release the seed-filled fruit to the soil where it may form a baby plant. So, try to disturb the netting only minimally to reduce the risk of breaking off ripening fruit.
After your harvest is over, you're free to remove the netting and store it for the following year. Or, move it from the finished blueberries to other fruit that ripens later — perhaps a late season blueberry patch, goji berries or even your blackberries. If you don't get to removing the netting right away, don't worry about it. It's easy enough to take off your plants when you're raking up leaves in autumn.

I thought maybe putting a cage around my raised raspberry patch with chicken wire and covering the top with netting. Will that work to keep the birds out? Or maybe even smaller fencing? Netting gets so tangled in the bush, that I find it a pain to work with.
Unroll (or if you're recycling last year's netting, untangle) your netting, …..ha…you said a mouthful there. If someone could come up with a way to store it back the way it came, they would be a millionaire
I tried this last year, it ripped every berry and flower off my bushes. I had to collect from the ground, and lost a lot of un-ripened berries. This year I plan to build a protective barrier around the plant.
I covered my strawberries with netting like this. 15 minutes it had captured one bird and killed another. This netting is almost invisible and birds fly right into it. I took it off and threw it away. I'll look for another deterrent or accept some lost berries
Build a in closure using 1×2's and wire netting. Take 1×2-8ft and cut to height drive these into ground like stakes. Make several square or rectangular frames that are small enough to manage by yourself. Get some z brackets from hardware store attach to 1×2 that you drove into ground and hang frames on them. Repeat for the top just make wide enough to lay on top of sides. They store easily and last for years
Thanks for the post on netting. For berry bushes. I also have stopped using netting when I found a dead chipmunk tangled in netting around strawberries. I felt so bad about that. I have seen so e products for pop up screen tents for protecting plants, but I have not wanted to go to the trouble or expense. For now, I am just sharing with nature and trying to harvest what we can!
Tried bird netting and it was awful. Catches on the bush and is extremely difficult to remove. Rolling up, storing and untangling is another problem. Tried building a support from plastic 1/2″ tubing made into an "X" and drape the bird netting over the tubing to keep the netting off the bush. But the best solution I have found Tulle. Bought 50 yds of 108″ wide tulle and it can be easily cut with scissors to the desired size and draped right over the plant. Doesn't catch nearly as much as the bird netting and is easy to remove and is tangle free.
I agree with the awful part. Tried this and it does NOT work. If you're ready to actually pick some berries for your self you can't move the netting or it will rip off any berries and branches its contacted too. I haver 40 blue berry bushes and still not sure what to do. Mt landscaper suggests giving it up and sharing with the birds. probably what I'll do. we have an added level of difficulty her in the mountains of NC… bears! This comes under the # third world problems.
OMG… That's it….. I've cornered the market in Tulle!
The holes look too small to let birds or the 7 year locusts in or the berries to get tangled in. You have to be able to take it on and off… different parts of the bush get ripe at different times. Thank you, Mark. haven't need tulle for 30 years since ours kids were in Ballet!

Although AYSO National prefers that all players play in their age-appropriate division, they do allow regions the flexibility to have players "play-up" to an older division. We apologize, AYSO National does not allow for players to "play-down" to a younger division.
AYSO Region 45′s policy, consistent with AYSO National's policy and local public school age guidelines allows for any play-up of up to 4 months. If you have a younger child born on or before December 1st but after July 31st, you will be presented with the option to play in his or her age appropriate division or to play-up one division during registration.
If you forgot to select to play-up during registration or if you later decide not to play-up, please email our registrar at firstname.lastname@example.com to request the change.
Play-up requests of greater than 4 months must be made to our Regional Commissioner for board-level approval. These requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please Email this request to our Regional Commissioner at firstname.lastname@example.com and include justification along with the child's height, weight, relative speed and agressiveness compared to his or her peers.
In general, a player's past rating and other data will be looked at in order to make a determination along with possible contact with last year's coach. At a minimum, the player needs to already be above average in the play-up division (well above average in their age-appropriate division) to be considered unless one of the parents volunteers to be head coach and their primary purpose for the play-up is to pair siblings on the same team.
Please note that we need to have an adequate number of head coach volunteers in the play-up division to accept the request for a play-up of more than 4 months. The Region will not turn away a player in their correct age division (that signs up by June 7th) as they have no other age-eligible options. This does not apply to players accepted to play up that also come with a Certified head coach volunteer in the play-up division.
We apologize, but AYSO National does not permit players to play-down to a younger division.
AYSO National defines which division a player should be assigned based on the child's age on August 1st and this is the youngest division in which a child is eligible.

I wasn't too crazy about the last bumper sticker I made, the one with the 3 rainbow hearts, and I wanted to do something that was a little more expressive, so I did this one to remedy that. Love, peace and equality - something every person should have, and no person should want for.

Quick practice recap
South Carolina held its sixth practice of the spring Tuesday afternoon at the Bluff Road Proving Grounds and Gamecock Central was there.
The highlights:
Practice wrapped up early today, before passing skeleton and team drill work.
OL Na'Ty Rodgers was at practice after an arrest over the weekend.
Linebackers coach Kirk Botkin said the future is bright at the position. He said that there was tremendous competition at each spot and that Sharrod Golightly missing some practice time enabled the youngsters to get more practice time. He said Jonathan Walton was a physical, fast guy and it's helped him and Marcquis Roberts to switch positions and train at a different spot. Botkin added that no starting positions were set for sure, noting that Skai Moore ran with the second team today.
Secondary coach Grady Brown said that TJ Gurley and Rico McWilliams were both moving around a lot better than last season. He said that it was hard to anticipate how much cornerback Brison Williams will ultimately play this season. He also said that it's been a "blessing" for the young cornerbacks to get so much work in practice, given the lack of numbers at the position.
Steve Spurrier did not speak with media on Tuesday.
INJURY REPORT: In yellow on Tuesday: Jordan Diaz (knee), Sidney Rhodes, Connor McLaurin (left leg), Jody Fuller (knee), Kane Whitehurst (left foot in a boot), Damiere Byrd (recovering from meniscus surgery)

MND-B Soldiers attend grand re-opening of school in Lutifiyah
March 9, 2009
By Spc. Jamie Vernon, 2nd BCT PAO, 1st Armd. Div., MND-B
BAGHDAD - Teachers, students and Soldiers from Company A, 1st Combined Arms Battalion, 63rd Armor Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, Multi-National Division- Baghdad, met for the grand re-opening of Almuwifikia School in Lutifiyah, Mahmudiyah Qada March 3.
The jubilant school children greeted the Soldiers when they arrived, waving flags and holding flowers. The Soldiers handed out back packs to the students, filled with school supplies and teaching aids for school's teachers.
The event highlighted the $127,000 refurbishment project funded through the Commander's Emergency Response Program. The repairs to the school included new glass in the windows, electrical work and repairs, fresh paint, plumbing for the restroom, new roofs and various other needs around the school. Sheik Mohey Sadoon Muhammed, the principal of Almuwifikia School said the two-month venture signals a new beginning for the citizens.
"This was a big step in rebuilding our community. I am very thankful to have Coalition forces working together with us against the enemy," said Muhammed.
The local leaders have created a Sons of Iraq checkpoint in the neighborhood near the school providing additional security for the students. The SoI has played a significant role in improving and maintaining security in the area with attacks and violence at their lowest levels in years.
"The grand re-opening of a school gives the students hope for a better future. The headmaster is trying to show the students that Coalition forces are here to help and the children's future will be better," said Portage, Ind. native Spc. Keisha Barajas, Civil Affairs Team 31, 1-63 CAB.
"The headmaster stated that in the past the students turned to Al-Qaida for help and false hope for a better living and future. The headmaster is teaching the students right from wrong and showing them how to take care of what they have and to appreciate it because sooner or later it may be gone," she said.
The school decided to hold the grand reopening event to celebrate the major renovations that have been completed to give the students of Almuwifikia School a more conducive learning environment.
Philadelphia native, 1st Lt. Chris Fluellen, 3rd platoon leader, Company A, said he was glad to see the school do a complete 180 degree turnaround, adding that it's good to see the children in an atmosphere where they can learn about culture and the world.
"I'm happy my platoon had a small part in this and I will definitely take the memories with me," said Fluellen.
The Soldiers of 1-63 CAB are currently working on another school renovation in the Lutifiyah area.

Recent changes in the design of zoo displays, and the manner in which visitors interact with the displays will the subject of study for a project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council's Science in Society programme. Dr. Nils Lindahl-Elliot, a senior lecturer at the University of the West of England's School of Cultural Studies, has just been awarded £130,000 to fund a detailed two-year study of how zoos communicate with the public about science and nature.
The research will take place in the Bristol Zoo Gardens and in the Paignton Zoo Environmental Park. Both zoos have been extensively remodelled in recent years, and are currently planning new exhibits. The results of the project may enable the Bristol and Paignton Zoos, but also zoos throughout the country, to develop new forms of science communication that help visitors to engage more critically with a variety of environmental issues.
According to Dr. Lindahl-Elliot, many zoos in the U.K, Europe and America have recently changed their characteristic forms of displaying wild animals. "The emphasis is now on presenting wild animals in more naturalistic settings, and on promoting wildlife conservation. Zoos are also experimenting with new kinds of exhibits – such as insects in urban habitats – that challenge accepted criteria for what may be displayed in zoos and wildlife parks."
Dr. Lindahl-Elliot's interest in zoos is part of a broader project that investigates the modern history of the relation between mass mediation and the social representation of science and nature.
"While it may seem that the media have only recently begun to affect the design of zoos, my research suggests that this process has been a long time in the making. The design of many of the first modern zoos was arguably influenced by the practices of 19th century 'media' such as landscape paintings and gardens, as well as by public outcry in the press over the 'inhumane' conditions found in ancient menageries such as the one at the Tower of London."
In the current project Dr. Lindahl-Elliot will be particularly interested in investigating how the communication of science and nature at the two zoos is affected by the most recent forms of mass-communication, contemporary environmentalist sensibilities, and of course, current views on the nature of animal rights.
The research will be undertaken using in-depth analyses of the existing displays, and participant observation of between 16 and 20 families visiting each zoo. The project will also produce broader surveys of design trends in major zoos in Britain, Europe, and America, and of visitors' experiences of zoos in the Bristol and Paignton areas. It will combine a range of disciplines - semiotics, anthropology, sociology, and the sociology of education - that have previously not been brought together to study the communication of science and nature in zoos. It is hoped that the methods used, as well as the results of the research will be of significance not just to zoos, but to other public institutions such as aquaria, nature theme parks, and museums of science and natural history.

College of Technology faculty (left to right) Drs. Todd Waggoner, Sudershan Jetley, Erik Mayer and Sri Kolla with the college's hybrid vehicle and mechatronic robots. Both utilize knowledge and skills students in the new Electro-mechanical Systems Technology program will gain.
Multifaceted 'mechatronics' program prepares industrial specialists
As the Los Angeles Times noted in an Aug. 21 article, "Manufacturing, long known for plant closings and layoffs, is now clamoring for workers to fill high-paying, skilled jobs."
A new degree program that started in the College of Technology this fall addresses the country's serious skilled-labor shortage by preparing students to work in the manufacturing, processing and construction industries. Electro-mechanical Systems Technology (EMST), or "mechatronics," provides students the necessary mathematics, computer and mechanical abilities to deal with production control, electrical and mechanical power systems and manufacturing processes.
Broader than robotics, the program is designed to develop graduates skilled to meet the demands of modern, integrated electro-mechanical systems. This frequently requires dealing with complex systems, often beyond any single technological discipline, say program directors Dr. Sri Kolla, electronics and computer technology, and Dr. Sudershan Jetley, manufacturing technology. Drs. David Border and Erik Mayer, electronic and computer technology, are the other faculty with the program.
"Over the last 10-15 years, industry has become much more integrated in all areas," Jetley said. "U.S. industry increasingly uses the Japanese concept of teaming. Engineers are required to interact with workers in other areas of the company. People with this training will be needed in virtually all aspects of manufacturing.
"This has become even more important with globalization, when the design office is here and production is 3,000 miles away. You need people who can communicate and understand all facets of the process."
The EMST major consists of a strong foundation in physics, math and communication; work experiences through co-op requirements, and a solid knowledge and understanding of electro-mechanical systems found in the manufacturing and processing industry. The program is modeled to meet National Association of Industrial Technology accreditation requirements.
Graduates of the EMST program will work in installing, maintaining and troubleshooting production systems involving mechanical, electronic and electrical controls and machinery. They will work mainly on the shop floor with mechanical, manufacturing and electrical engineers.
At Findlay-based Marathon Petroleum LLC, where the College of Technology has a number of co-op students each semester, gasoline is loaded into trucks at large terminals through an automated process. Douglas Herrmann, manager of electronics services, said it would be advantageous to have the skill set provided by the EMST degree to work in his field. "We need people with a broad mix of skills. They have to be able to do disassembly to make electronics repairs and to work with the minicomputer microprocessors and pass data over the network. And there will be more and more of a need for those skills in the future, since industry is becoming more automated and robotized."
EMST majors are prepared to become supervisors and managers within a couple years of beginning work. "All our technology graduates have a fair amount of management training," Jetley said. "They know the technical side and they also have the management knowledge. They have a much greater opportunity to rise in the organization."
That is in part what drew Anthony Brugnone, a sophomore from Oak Harbor, to enroll in the program. An electronic technician with Modine Manufacturing in Pemberville, he is already working in the engineering area and said the company requires its employees to have a bachelor's degree to advance in the organization. In addition, "learning more about the mechanical area is rounding out my skills and makes me more marketable," he said. "For a company, if you can utilize one person in all three areas instead of someone for electrical, another for mechanical and so on, it is much more efficient."
As the L.A. Times article said, "While millions of manufacturing jobs have been outsourced or automated out of existence during the past decade, many of the remaining jobs require higher skills and pay well—$50,000 to $80,000 a year for workers with the necessary math, computer and mechanical skills."
BGSU is working out articulation agreements with a number of two-year colleges so students there may continue their studies. "A number of schools, including BGSU Firelands, offer a two-year degree, but few have four-year programs such as Bowling Green's," Jetley said. The two-year programs lack the basic sciences and higher math of the four-year degree, as well as the liberal arts component, he added.
EMST majors will get that background, including a special BG Perspective class on the social aspects of technology.
The degree program draws together existing courses at BGSU and was created in response to what college faculty were hearing from management when they visited the students in their co-op programs. "We found this was an area of skills that was needed that our students didn't quite fit in," Jetley said.
The college already had experience designing such a program from when it created one for the former Lima Technical College, now James A. Rhodes State College.
"We're excited about the new degree program, and we're eager to spread the word," Jetley said.

Thread: Crowd control on my Girls' List

Crowd control on my Girls List
Well as an obvious side-effect of playing around on here, my name lists have gotten out of control!
Of course I have the long list of ones I "like" and those that could never actually "work" for me for various reasons...
but my Top Ten continues to get constantly lengthier and then modified back into a new order so now I've become curious. I am not pregnant so this is all just for fun but I'd like opinions on 5 of my top 10 girl's names. I know everyone likes to pair up middles also, so if you want those options, it is a choice between Harry Potter names (Lily, Luna, Lavender). These, lovely as they are, will only be used in the middle spot. I wonder which one(s) in your opinion sound the best alongside Dominic. Thanks and have fun! =]
Mya, Sydney, Julie/Julia, Elena, Kate/Katherine

Building up to and becomes exact on July 29th, 2013. We can use a "window period" to enjoy the experience; 10:40 am to 10:00 pm EDT (check your local time/convert). It is best to feel relaxed knowing it is the "Intention" that is highly important here and not so much the 'exact time'. Relax and take it in. Absorb, flow, be.
Mars is in 23 Degrees Virgo.
Very careful and systematic, you pay great attention to details. You are always seeking perfection and sometimes get bogged down searching for the ultimate when adequacy would have been sufficient. You dislike abstractions, preferring whatever is practical, useful and demonstrable. You have a strong and enduring sense of personal responsibility, and you demand that others be as responsible and upright as you are. Very critical of yourself and others, sometimes you carry this too far and become overly intolerant of others and their right to choose their own lifestyles...
Uranus is in 03 Degrees Virgo.
