One of the great joys of living in Seattle is living among educated eaters. I've shared tables with opinionated eaters in New York, ravenous eaters in Texas, and industrious eaters in North Carolina who picked, canned, and cooked their own creasy beans. When I lived in Mississippi, I met my share of gleeful eaters, who gorged themselves on catfish and took hush puppies to bed. But I never encountered so many knowledgeable eaters until I arrived in the Pacific Northwest.
Diners here can distinguish between ramen and udon noodles, parse the seasoning differences between northern and southern Thai cuisine, and identify the sustainable seafood in a fishmonger's display case. As a food writer here, I don't have to gum up my reviews with ancillary explanations of tempeh, Alice Waters, or mole. I feel very lucky to belong to a community that's serious and sophisticated about food.
Yet I've noticed a gap in Seattle's collective food knowledge. The same eaters who have such a firm grasp on--and respect for--Asian, European, and African cookery often seem to know very little about the food of the American South. I've bumped up against a startling amount of ignorance about what folks in the sweet-tea belt eat.
To be fair, the South is very, very far away from Washington state. There's no reason eaters here should know any more about edible traditions in Alabama's hill country than, say, Panamanian ceviche. What surprises me is that the uninformed eaters I've encountered seem unembarrassed to admit how little they know.
I once heard an educator express her frustration with the common expression, "Oh, I'm no good at math." Nobody, she insisted, would dare say, "Oh, I can't read a word." Southern food seems to be the math of the global pantry. While it's not socially acceptable--at least in certain circles--to admit a disinterest in pho or injera, it's apparently OK to denigrate banana pudding and grits.
That's a shame, because Southern food is delicious and intellectually compelling. It's not better than foods of other regions--as a champion of local cuisines, I'd be heartbroken if I found more country ham than smoked salmon in Seattle--but it's surely worth exploring and understanding.
There's no shortage of wonderful writing about Southern food. (If you're seeking a primer, the works of John Egerton, Jessica Harris, John T. Edge, Matt and Ted Lee, Sheri Castle, and Marcie Cohen Ferris should get you started.) I don't aim to explain the whole of Southern eating here. But I do want to clear up a few overriding misconceptions about the cuisine.
1. Southern food is not a monolith.
Even if your definition of the South excludes Texas and south Florida, you're still left with a pretty impressive land mass. It measures about the same size as France, Germany, and Italy combined, a region in which people eat bouillabaisse and salami and schnitzel. Southern food is similarly diverse. In South Carolina alone, there are four distinct barbecue styles.
Cornbread with sorghum syrup is Southern food, but so is the impossibly elegant oysters bienville served at Arnaud's in New Orleans. Fried mullet, tomato pie, barbecue hash, and scuppernong wine all count as Southern food.
Just like everywhere else, the South forged its culinary identity in response to what the land provided and the heritage of the people who settled it. North Carolina's been overrun with hogs since Europeans arrived, but it took German immigrants schooled in butchery and sausage-making to establish the state as a barbecue capital. Enslaved Africans fashioned Hoppin' John from the low country's rice and black-eyed peas.
It's probably foolhardy to attempt a complete taxonomy of Southern food, but there are unique cuisines associated with Louisiana (Cajun and Creole), the Mississippi Delta, the Appalachians, the Gulf Coast, the Eastern Shore, and the Low Country. (Soul food, a political term linked with the Black Power movement, has more to do with class than place. It typically refers to the rural poverty foods that were historic staples of black and white Southern diets, such as possum, pigs' feet, and greens.)
2. Southern food is not unhealthy.
Yes, Southerners eat fried chicken. And fried catfish and fried okra, too. But very little of the traditional Southern diet is defined by frying. Southerners have been practitioners of farm-to-table cooking since long before the term got made up, worn out, and used up.
One of my favorite restaurants anywhere is The Dillard House in the mountains of north Georgia, just down the road from where Rabun County teenagers collected stories of butter churning and bootlegging for the Foxfire anthology. The Dillard House is not an insiders' secret: The driveway is built to accommodate tour buses. Burt Reynolds, who stayed there while filming Deliverance, reportedly loves the place.
But The Dillard House's history goes way back beyond Burt. The boardinghouse opened in 1917, and has been serving massive smorgasbords of freshly picked and plucked mountain classics ever since. The menu changes each day, but typically guests' tables are set with green beans, Harvard beets, apple butter, mustard greens, squash souffle, chow chow, lima beans, creamed cabbage, stewed tomatoes, and melon. And for guests who are still hungry, there's fried chicken.
3. Southern food is not a solo pursuit.
Barbecue has become a very big deal in recent years, and is the first food most non-Southerners would probably cite as representative of the region. Thanks to a spree of television shows devoted to smoked meat, Americans now understand that when they put chicken on the backyard grill, they aren't cooking barbecue.
But the celebrated pit masters responsible for the barbecue that's become so popular are aberrations in Southern culinary culture. Throughout the South, the preparation and partaking of meals is a social event. In certain corners of the rural south, families still string beans together. And in urban areas, it's not uncommon for elderly gentlemen to insist that their dinner guests sit "boy-girl-boy-girl" to enhance the evening's conviviality.
Speaking of conviviality, outside of Baptist churches, what Southerners drink matters as much as what they eat. When Heath Putnam--who raises Mangalitsa pigs near Seattle--returned from a field trip to the Memphis in May barbecue competition, he asked me, "Do you know how much they drink?" and "Did you know beer isn't drinking to them?" Putnam got the gist of it: Southerners have a thing for corn liquor.
4. Southern food is not hidebound.
Southern food is constantly evolving, and not just at the hands of the talented young chefs who've been the darlings of the James Beard awards committee over the past decade. Southern food has always been shaped by the contributions of new immigrants, a rhythm the region's maintained.
While the South has an outspoken conservative contingent, many, many Southerners have warmly welcomed their new neighbors from Vietnam, Mexico, Honduras, Korea, New York, and Minnesota. The cosmopolitan South has birthed the barbecue nachos that are served alongside pulled-pork sandwiches and barbecue spaghetti at most Memphis barbecue joints, and Viet-Cajun crawfish. Southerners today are pickling kaffir lime leaves and making turnip-green tamales.
5. Pimento cheese is delicious.
After weeks of reaching for the pimento cheese on buffet and potluck tables around Seattle and discovering I'd swiped my chip in sundried-tomato hummus instead, I've pretty much given up on finding true pimento cheese here. (Yes, there's a fancy version on the pretzel menu at Brave Horse Tavern, but I'm a stickler for very mayonnaise-y, orange-hued pimento cheese.)
I've had to explain pimento cheese to friends, readers, and a copy editor since arriving in Seattle. Recipes for the spread are hotly contested, but should include grated cheese, mayonnaise, pimentos, salt, and pepper. (I'm not wading into the cheddar-vs.-Velveeta or Duke's-vs.-Hellmann's debates.) It's terrific on burgers.
Eaters who dismiss Southern food miss out on pimento cheese, of course, along with liver mush, boiled peanuts, fried peach pies, and pilau. There's much to love about Southern food; perhaps the single greatest misconception about the cuisine is believing otherwise.

Joy Harjo
I shared a half hour of my life this morning with Rammi, an Igbo man from northern Nigeria who drove me in his taxi to the airport. Chicago rose up as a mechanical giant with soft insides buzzing around to keep it going. We were part of the spin.
Rammi told the story of his friend, who one morning around seven—a morning much like this one—was filling his taxi with gas. He was imagining home, a village whose memories had given him sustenance to study through his degree and would keep him going one more year until he had the money to need to return.
As the sun broke through the grey morning he heard his mother tell him, the way she had told him when he was a young boy, how the sun had once been an Igbo and returned every morning to visit relatives.
These memories were the coat that kept him warm on the streets of ice.
He was interrupted by a young man who asked him for money, a young man who was like many he saw on his daily journey onto the street to collect fares. "Oh no, sorry man. I don't have anything I can give you," he said as he patted the pockets of his worn slacks, his thin nylon jacket. He saved every penny because he knew when he returned he'd be taking care of his family, a family several houses large.
He turned back to the attention of filling his gas tank. What a beautiful morning, almost warm. And the same sun, the same Igbo looking down on him in the streets of the labyrinth far far from home.
And just like that he was gone, from a gunshot wound at the back of his head—the hit of a casual murderer.

LOS ANGELES - Playing its only competition of the week, the eighth-ranked UCLA men's tennis team registered a 7-0 victory over San Diego State on Thursday afternoon at the Los Angeles Tennis Center. With the win, the Bruins improve to 7-0 on the season while the Aztecs fall to 3-1 after suffering their first loss of the year.
UCLA jumped out to an early lead in Thursday's contest by taking two of three doubles matches to claim the point. After Warren Hardie and Clay Thompson notched an 8-4 win at court No. 3, the Bruins claimed the point at court No. 1, where Nick Meister and Adrien Puget were 8-3 winners over SDSU's Hunter Nicholas and Javier Pulgar.
Bruin freshman Dennis Mkrtchian provided UCLA with its first singles point on the day, improving to 6-0 in dual matches this season with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Andranik Khachatryan at court No. 6. That win was closely followed by a 6-1, 6-3 victory by Meister over Pulgar at court No. 1. Thompson clinched the win for UCLA at the No. 2 position, downing Derek Siddiqui, 6-4, 6-3 to give the Bruins a 4-0 lead.
Junior Maxime Tabatruong was the fourth straight-set winner for UCLA on the day, downing Nicholas, 6-4, 6-4 at court No. 5. Both Marcos Giron and Puget won in three sets. Giron saved a match point down 8-9 in a 10-point tiebreaker against Thorsten Bertsch at court No. 3, eventually winning 2-6, 6-4, (11-9).
UCLA continues non-conference play next week, hosting No. 12 Pepperdine on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m.

Rainer Gross, German (1951 - )

 Rainer Gross was born and educated in Cologne, Germany. He came to the United States in 1973. At tnat time he worked with Howard Kanovitz and later with Larry Rivers He has exhibited with German galleries and last season at the Tower. His work is represented in numerous private collections. Mr. Gross' excellent draftsmanship and subtle color sense are evident in his acrylics on paper. His paintings and drawings interpret Americana charged witn allegorical and classical allusions. A still life of lilies and carnations is paired with a background of Roman mosaic depicting dancing figures. "TV. II Baroque", a six by nine foot mixed media on canvas, shows Rubens' inspired images pouring forth from the screen of a Sony television. Mr. Gross' imagery and style maintains a foothold in pre-Renaissance painting traditions and grasps the candor and gloved social commentary of Pop art and Photo-Realism He describes his direction best as ".... personal improvisations with themes in art history. I consider myself a student of paintings. I see no conceit in quoting from the past."

My my favorite part:
"Unlike its physical counterpart, intellectual capital isn't forged by markets' relentless drive for higher quality and innovation. Instead, we've largely left it to public schools.
They are creatures of government — a bureaucratic process that's resistant to change, indifferent to student needs and mired in mediocrity. What's worse, money flows toward underperforming schools, so the system rewards failure, not success.
The results are predictable: America's public schools are failing to deliver quality education to most of the nation's students."

Every year for the past four years I have attended "Women's Specific Night" at my favorite Jersey bike store, Danzeisen & Quigley. They always have speakers who talk on a variety of cycling topics as they relate to women, wine & snacks, goody bags, door prizes and a raffle for a bike.
This year, the proceeds of the raffle benefited the MS Society. My thoughts turned to True-Gritter Mrs. Cranky, and I bought $15 worth of tickets. I WON THE RAFFLE! I now own a brand new Trek Alpha! Not as nice as the Trek I already own, but an excellent +1 for me!!!
Some of you may recall I had my Trek 1000 stolen a few years ago. After it happened, Louis sent me this Poem:
On Her Return
On her return
Will she forgive?
Some new bits...a nice gesture, but
Only time is truth.
Your time, and lots of it.
Perhaps, if the gods have been appeased
And take pity on your lot,
You will feel her love again.
Well, Louis! I guess I got her back!!

Latest Favre Arrested: Dylan
That Favre clan just can't stay out of trouble.
You've got former Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre whipping his dick around all over the place. You've got his unmarried daughter Brittany Favre getting knocked up before she can legally drink. Then there's the Favres who like to do illegal shit.
Brett's sister Brandi Favre was arrested in January 2011 for some sort of drug activity — meth, or hillbilly heroin, to be exact. Now, Brett's nephew Dylan Favre has been arrested for possession and intent to distribute weed.
The Pearl River County Sheriff's Department arrested 20-year-old Dylan Dewayne Favre at 12:43 a.m. today on a charge of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, said Chief Deputy Shane Tucker.
Tucker said the arrest occurred after a traffic stop at the corner of Mississippi 11 and West North Street in Poplarville. An officer smelled marijuana from the vehicle, and deputies found marijuana and paraphernalia-type items, he said.
Dylan was a prolific high school quarterback who originally played at Mississippi State. He left the program in December and transfered to Pearl River Community College.
The seems like a step back to us. This could probably be considered another one.
(Via The Big Lead)
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
That's not as bad as the inevitbale headline: "Rodgers Arrested for Soliciting Butt Sex from Male Prostitute." Cuz he chugs cock… Or at least he looks like he does.
Again DD, this is an NFL football blog site not a gay fantasy site. Nobody wants to hear what you want to do to Rodgers in a bedroom. Besides your not his type, you lack breasts and a vagina. You do sound like a little pussy though so I can give you that one. So DD give it a rest and go eat what you are, I heard you can buy donkey cock in Chinatown, NY.

The folks at gtcreate know how to make a Prezi look awesome and blow audiences away because they do this day in, day out for their clients. In this two-part guest post, Duncan Dibble, Client Services and Digital Director at gtcreate, imparts some of his expert knowledge so you too can stand out from mere mortal slides and deliver a killer presentation. In this first post, learn how to think like a cinematographer to set the tone of your presentation.
If you are reading this, then it is more than likely that you've seen an awesome prezi lately, and you want to learn how to make your own.
Rather than a step-by-step how-to guide, this post is designed to help you understand the fundamental principles of Prezi that will allow you to make an effective presentation time and time again.
The first step is to move away from the linear, slide-based methodology. Prezi works as if you were viewing a scene through a camera lens, incorporating movements like zoom, rotation, oscillation and animations. This movement can be used to evoke emotions in your audience and to highlight key messages and topics within your presentation.
Thinking like a traditional presenter will actually prevent you from making an effective prezi. To make a great prezi, you need to follow one simple rule: Think like a cinematographer.
Cinematographers work with film directors to translate their vision onto film. Cinematographers tell stories using framing, photography, colors, and camera movements to evoke emotion. This is exactly what good presenters do—use Prezi's many features to tell a story.
So now that we know we need to move our thinking away from the linearity of slides and adopt the mindset of a cinematographer, let's explore some of the ways we can use elements of film to make effective prezis.
Set the scene.
Good cinematographers use 'establishing shots' which set up the context for a scene. You can use this technique to introduce your topic and the direction your prezi will take.
This Prezi example below illustrates how setting the scene on can highlight what your topic of discussion is about.
The above design establishes the theme of the presentation—the interconnected web of data that technology allows us to explore—from the very first frame.
Set the tone.
The tone of your prezi will establish audience expectations and reinforce assumptions about your topics or themes from the off.
Consistent tone often determines whether your audience consider your presentation a success or failure. If you don't get your tone right, you can leave the audience feeling disorientated and lost without actually being able to pinpoint why—it will just feel wrong.
Here are some of the key elements to think about when setting the tone of your presentation:
Colors—use vibrant colors to create an energetic feel. You can use muted colours and neutrals to reinforce your message. Use a unified color palette—if you use too many colors, your prezi will feel lost.
Light vs. Dark—light can be used to express openness, and darkness can give your presentation a serious tone.
Typeface and Fonts—your typeface and font will also determine tone. As human beings, we are able to perceive personality in fonts—so make sure the personality of the font you choose matches your message.
Where Prezi knocks the socks off of slide-based presentations is in its ability to use movement and animations to assist in setting the tone. There are a number of elements to consider when using movement to establish tone;
Opening Visual Sequence—the example above zooms out and uses a visual metaphor to determine the topic—in this case, a key represents the ability to achieve success.
Speed of transitions—fast transitions create a different emotional tone from more smooth or gradual transitions between pieces of content.
Path of the animation—if your content moves in a consistent, orderly fashion, your presentation will evoke different emotions than if it contains an erratic or disorderly path.
Number of objects in view—messages delivered in isolation can add more focus and demand more attention than content presented in a large group.
The message you are trying to deliver will inevitably dictate how to develop the tone that is appropriate for your message and, more importantly, your audience.

live view shooting is more accurate than the optics.
DYoda: After reading the optic review, I fear I made a huge mistake buying this camera. I hope to be proven wrong.
optic do sucks.. you just have to work around it.
Jake64: Photos of the homeless and dirty impovrished people from other countries is a personal pet peeve of mine. Photographic skills aside, I think photos such as these are very exploitative of the poverty some people, especially children, live in. I understand that this photo brings into light what life is to some people but it mostly just has us privileged folks feeling pitty and sadness
MarkG07 : Print your entire collection and mail it to the UN.
so true
the quality of the image looks very soft.. that's not good
StephenSPhotog: What happened to learning a craft and mastering it? I heard someone down in this tread say "Haven't you ever missed focus and wanted to correct it?" Well, yes I actually have. But you know what I had to do? Learn. All I could do was learn to pay closer attention to focus next time and nail it. If I missed a shot a missed a shot. It's my fault.
I never shot film. I've only been into photography in the digital age. But even so, I miss film. I would love a film SLR to take around and better teach myself to pay more attention to composition, focus, and lighting.
I don't mean to sound like someone who is afraid of new technology. I love new tech. I eagerly await the next Nikon and Canon cameras. But I can't help but see this as photography being taken over by laziness. Don't be lazy people.
Take a shot and correct focus later? Do they even hear themselves when they say that?
I feel the same way Stephen. Strongly agree!

What is Feed?
Over seven years ago, in an attempt to live out Jesus' simple command to love our neighbour, we began to gather food and essential items to give away to whoever was in need in the local community. Today, FEED has become one of the county's largest food banks, giving out on average 90 bags of food a week. FEED couldn't happen without the generous spirit of support from local individuals, charities & businesses alike.
Just come along to the church on Mondays between 10am and 12pm noon. We'll be running a cafe where we'll be happy to serve you a free coffee and breakfast. If you can't make a Monday morning or have just missed one then contact Carol.
HOW CAN I Help?
There are lots of ways you can help. You can drop off food donations at the church Mon-Fri 9.30am-4.30pm or on a Sunday 9am-1pm. You can join the growing volunteer team who run FEED on a Monday morning. You can give financially to Feed which works to increase our resources and meet any deficit in the ever growing need. You can give an hour one weekend to help make collections at local supermarkets whose shoppers donate to FEED. Lots of schools support us by making their own collections - so much so that it's become somewhat of a competition to collect the most items each year! Or you can work to set up a corporate collection in your work place. Find out more about any of these by dropping FEED a line.

Congressman Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) released the following statement today in response to the federal government's disappointing October unemployment report:
"This morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that the unemployment rate remained stagnant at 9.6 percent in October. While any job creation is welcome, it's clear that the status quo is not enough to get the millions of Americans on the unemployment rolls back to work.
"The American people spoke this week and they want Congress to focus on job creation, not job-killing tax hikes and more federal spending. After 17 consecutive months of unemployment above 9 percent, it's time for a new approach. We must empower individuals and small businesses to be successful in the economy rather than saddling them with even more uncertainty and burdensome regulations. The top priority for the new Congress must be to repeal job-killing mandates and provide much-needed tax relief to businesses looking to hire. Job creation cannot, and will not, take a back seat this time around."

Analyst Was Early to See Possible Value in AMR Shares
TheStreet) -- A Wall Street analyst said the run-up in shares in bankrupt AMR (AAMRQ.PK)may have some validity after all. Normally, outstanding common shares in a bankrupt company decline to zero and are cancelled on emergence from bankruptcy so that the company can issue new stock. But it is conceivable that an exception will occur in the case of AMR. Shares closed Friday at $1.60. Since Jan. 1, when they traded at 80 cents, the shares have doubled.CRT Capital Group analyst Kevin Starke first wrote about the shares on Dec. 7, when they opened at 51 cents, saying in a report that an equity recovery "cannot be ruled out." His report may have contributed to the steep climb in the shares' value. Starke wrote at the time that some of the members of an ad hoc bondholder group had "substantial holdings in the common stock" and might support a reorganization plan that benefitted equity holders and bondholders. In a subsequent report on Dec. 14, Starke reiterated his views. He wrote again that the claims against American Airlines, which is also bankrupt, include a $2.4 billion intercompany claim by AMR, meaning that creditors with claims against both companies could be in for a "double dip" recovery. In a reported offer by US Airways (LCC) to turn over 70% of AMR stock to creditors, those "double dip" creditors could be entitled to more than the $2.8 billion value of their claims -- which would be illegal. The excess, Starke wrote, could go to the equity holders; it would be worth around 80 cents a share. Starke also described additional possible scenarios. One involves US Airways turning over 80% of the company to creditors, which Starke considers more likely than 70%, using a valuation based on an AMR standalone plan.With creditors getting 80%, "double dip" creditors would be entitled to $1.2 billion more than they can legally collect. In the unlikely event that money all flowed to equity, shares could be valued at $3.65 each. But Starke said that "this would be seen as even more egregious to single-dip creditors," and that a negotiated deal would likely result in a lower -- perhaps far lower -- valuation. It is also possible, Starke wrote, that single-dip creditors could challenge AMR's claim against American Airlines, obviously a closely related company. But since the double-dip creditors also hold common stock, they "may have little reason to oppose the recovery to equity," he said. Starke's report included a warning to buyers of AMR common shares. He noted: "Anyone buying a bankrupt equity should know that being at the bottom of the food chain is generally going to be a very high-risk bet, and maybe be better as an adjunct to a position in the bonds or trade claims." Last week, in a regulatory filing of a letter to a U.S. Justice Department attorney, AMR bankruptcy attorney Harvey Miller appeared to lend a measure of support to Stark's analysis. In the letter, Miller said AMR has "made remarkable progress in stabilizing their businesses and improving their prospects. "Depending upon the ultimate strategic alternative adopted and pursued, there exists a reasonable possibility that there may be value for AMR equity holders consistent with the absolute priority rule," he said. Earlier, Miller opposed a request by an equity holder to allow a committee to represent equity holders. He said then that it was unlikely that equity holders would receive anything for their shares. But now, he said, a possibility exists. For its part, AMR said in November that its shares would have little or no value when it emerges from bankruptcy. In last week's filing, AMR again cautioned against assuming that the shares will have value. It said that Miller's letter "was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision."

Good Evening! I'm writing in regards to the stay my husband and I recently experienced at your bed and breakfast. We stayed last night in the Oak room. We absolutely fell in love with your lovely B&B! The entire staff was so welcoming, from check-in to check-out. Very friendly, even though we had a late check in. We always appreciate good hospitality, and the room was just perfect for what we were looking for. We had dinner at your restaurant and I kept stealing my husband's smashed potatoes :) The food was amazing (loved that the chef brought out the calamari in the three sauces. It was sooooo good!) and the service was awesome. We chatted pleasantly with the server off and on throughout the night and really loved the recommendation for the wine. Everything was lovely in the morning as well; what a beautiful, relaxing stay! I only wish that we would have taken another day to stay, but we'll make sure we do that on the next visit. Will DEFINITELY be back!!! Jama Smith Jama " "

Psychologist and authority in educational measurement, Benjamin Bloom has influenced a whole generation of researchers. His research into the importance of early childhood education has challenged educators to reconsider present procedures for organising schools and allocating resources. His recent work on Mastery Learning promises to open a new set of approaches to the education of all children. 1
Benjamin S. Bloom was born in Lansford, Pennsylvania in 1913 into a Jewish family which had emigrated from a climate of discrimination in Russia a few years earlier. The father was a poor tailor and Ben like many others with his background wanted to become a teacher, a way of climbing the social ladder. After graduation from Pennsylvania State College in 1935 he became a research assistant in the American Youth Commission. After a short stay with the Cooperation Study in General Education he became employed in the historical Eight-Year Study by Ralph Tyler who at the time had become chairman of the School of Education at the University of Chicago. He enrolled in the doctoral programme there and completed his Ph.D. in 1942. After serving as a researcher on the Board of Examiners at the University of Chicago; and as examiner at the college of the University, Bloom became Professor of education in Chicago in 1940. He stayed there until retirement in 1990. Early in his career, Bloom became involved in international projects in India and Israel and was one of the founding members of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) in 1961. He belonged to the Panel that established the Research and Development Centres in the US in the 1960s and served as Chairman of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) 1965-66. Among his many recognitions was his receipt of the AERA-Phi Delta Kappa Award for distinguished contributions to education in 1970.
Working under Ralph Tyler, Bloom gained deep insights into the theory and practice of educational evaluation, a term coined by the task that evaluators set themselves. Bloom set about the task of translating the goals of instruction via concrete behaviours into instruments of measurement, a task that was particularly difficult when one had to deal with goals in the affective domain, i.e. in assessing attitudes and interests. In the 1950s he served as chairman of a committee on taxonomy of educational objectives set up by the AERA. The first book, covering the cognitive domain, authored by Bloom and David Krathwohl, Taxonomy of Education Objectives, was published in 1956. Another eight years elapsed until volume II, covering the affective domain, came out in 1964.
In the late 1960s Bloom began to develop a theory of 'mastery learning'. According to this theory the great majority of students, say 90-95 per cent, are able to learn basic principles, concepts and skills-if they are given enough time. Bloom's point of departure for research on mastery learning was the model of school learning which has been advanced by John Carroll at Harvard University and later Educational Testing Service in Princeton. According to Carroll the most important differentiating factor behind school achievement was time not differences in some kind of scholastic

Dance dad focuses on tech, so daughter can take center stage
By: Sara Seyydin Journal Staff Writer
Other Auburn dads coach and teach
You won?t find Erick Baumeister rolling his eyes at the thought of attending a ballet. It?s actually become a fairly common occurrence in his life. For him, attending rehearsals and meeting with moms on the dance committee just comes with the territory of being involved in his daughter?s life. The Auburn dad to Regan, 5, and Jacob, 4, works hard running technical programs, so Regan can take center stage. Growing up, Erick said he never would have imagined he?d be so involved with dance. ?I didn?t like it. My sister did when I was growing up. I was more interested in gymnastics,? Erick said. ?(Regan) loves dance. Be interested in what they?re interested in.? When he isn?t wearing the hat of dance dad, Erick is a Network Systems Engineer for AT&T in Auburn. Heather Tremlin, director of Obrien Childhood Development Center, said his willingness to break the mold makes him a standout dad. ?It?s all about his kids. His daughter does dance. He meets with all of the moms on the dance committee. He is an awesome dance dad," Tremlin said. Lisa Baumeister, Erick?s wife, said it is unique to see a father involved in dance. ?I think he?s a great dad because he enjoys doing all the activities of his daughter?s liking,? Lisa said. ?You don?t find a lot of dads who are willing to go through all the rehearsals and every single show. He likes to keep them involved.? Regan dances at the Northern California Dance Conservatory in Roseville and does performances at the Placer Theater Ballet. In August she?ll audition for a part in the Nutcracker and is hoping to be a Bon-Bon. The family also enjoys taking trips to the beach via train, making homemade jam and working on projects together. Erick said when it comes to raising children, time is precious. ?Being a working dad you realize you don?t have that much time with your kids, so every hour you can spend with your kids or put them first and try to involve them in everything you do,? Erick said. ?No matter where you send them to school, they are still learning the most from you.? Dad passes on love for learning to twins For Shawn Silva, of Auburn, watching he and his wife Donna?s 5 year-old twins Ryan and Annabel grow up has been one adventure after another. In the past year they have learned how to write their names, count to 100 and taken their first walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. Silva, a high school teacher at Silver Springs High School in Grass Valley, is always trying to teach them a new facet of life. This summer it?ll be how to swim and ride a bike before they head to kindergarten. ?They are ready,? Shawn said. ?I have seen it right before my eyes. This last year has been drastic.? Silva said with both he and his wife working he has been involved every step of the way, too. From changing diapers to doing dishes, he likes to share the responsibilities. ?It?s rewarding,? Shawn said. ?They can come to me just like can to their mom.? He loves the serious, committed nature of his son and the sweet-natured temperament of his daughter. He said the twins can also be cautious, one characteristic that could save him from some headaches when they are teenagers. ?They watch out for each other,? Shawn said. ?The No. 1 rule of life is to be kind. They look out for other people, too.? Ryan said he likes to play soccer with is dad and learn from him. When asked why his dad is a cool guy, Ryan said ?because he is a teacher.? Annabel said she has special memories of going to a Giants game with her dad and loves family ?bike rides, bike rides, bike rides!? This summer she is looking forward to swimming with her Dad and taking more bike rides around Lake Natoma. Aside from spending time learning and staying active, Annabel likes to take time to play games with her dad. ?I like to play Yellow Puppy on Head,? Annabel said. ?We have a yellow puppy and I put it on my daddy?s head.? For Shawn, watching his children experience their first time in the city is a memory that will always be close to his heart. ?I like the city and being able to expose them to something different than they were used to seeing, I think they liked every part of it,? Shawn said. ?The Golden Gate Bridge was magical for them.? Father and sons bond through sports Charles Atkinson, 31, of Auburn, will admit it hasn?t always been easy being a young dad, but it has been rewarding. His oldest son Dillon is now 13 and five years ago his son Connor was born. They attended a Father?s Day appreciation barbeque together at Hugs-and-Smiles Little Fox Preschool in Auburn on Thursday. Some of his favorite memories center on sharing sports with his boys. He is usually a coach or assistant coach on their athletic teams and likes to spend time with them outdoors. ?The first time they caught a fish, the look on their face is always shocked,? Charles said. ?The first time he (Dillon) made a tackle in football. He made it look so easy.? This weekend they plan on going fishing at the Berkley Pier with Charles? dad. Along with bonding through activities, he said he takes an active role in teaching his children about life. Dillon said he is thankful his dad understands him. ?He is younger, so he kind of gets how I am,? Dillon said. ?He knows what I like to do and he liked to do the same things.? Kristin Atkinson, Charles? wife, mom to Connor and stepmom to Dillon, said she appreciates her husband?s involvement. ?He is just really super involved in everything. They do their fishing and all the boy stuff,? Kristin said. ?He just really cares about being involved with them and being a part of their lives.? Charles has a few rules for parenting he likes to abide by. ?Be there for them, no matter what, unconditionally. Teach them right from wrong. Tell them you love them,? Charles said. ?If he doesn?t tell me he loves me when I drop him off at school then he knows the horn starts honking.? Reach Sara Seyydin at email@example.com, or follow her on Twitter @AJ_News.

Balancing an Unbalanced Life
February 13, 2015 | By Katie Linsey | 2 Comments
What does a balanced life look like?
I honestly couldn't tell you, because I don't have one.
I used to think that my life had to be balanced. That I had to have a set schedule. That I had to have everything together.
Being in college has forced me to realize that I don't have to have a balanced life, and certainly that it's nearly impossible to have one.
If I told you my priorities, showed you my calendar, and then you saw how my days actually played out, you would be very confused. But that's okay, because it used to confuse me too.
I used to think because I couldn't "get my life together" that I was a failure. I thought I was doing everything wrong and I didn't know how to suddenly start doing everything right.
My top priorities in life include spending quality time with Jesus, doing my schoolwork, and living a healthy lifestyle. However, those priorities don't always make it into every day of my life. It stinks to say that, but it's true.
There are days when I don't open my Bible. There are days when I don't open my backpack. There are days when I don't workout.
…and I think that's okay.
Life isn't about checking things off of a to-do list or having enough time to do everything or beating yourself up when your day didn't go as planned.
Life is about recognizing what's important to you and finding purpose in everything you do.
Life is about waking up every morning and handing your day to God.
Here's the prayer I pray every morning before I even get out of bed or check my phone:
I give my day to You… do whatever You want with it.
Give me opportunities to glorify You. Create divine appointments.
Give me strength and energy to get through this day.
I can't do this alone."
I'm not saying it's bad to make plans and have to-do lists. I have both of those, and they help me immensely. I'm simply saying that when we hand our days over to God and live to glorify Him, we don't need to worry about having a "balanced" life. God works through the chaos, stress, anxiety, and fear. He's glorified in all of it when we let Him take the wheel.
God's plan for your day may not be the same as your plan for your day.
We gotta listen to God and be intentional.
Through that, we'll make memories.
… and REALLY live.

Dean Baker: The Federal Reserve Board's Open Market Committee decided not to raise interest rates at its meeting last week, but made it clear that a rate hike was still an option for its June meeting. Why is the Fed even considering a hike?
Efforts to gut the federal False Claims Act backed by the US Chamber of Commerce got a hearing on Capitol Hill Thursday.

El Paso County officers are searching for a silver SUV carrying a young man suspected of theft.
A spokeswoman with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office said that a witness tipped officers off about a theft that occurred Sunday morning. Early reports indicated the suspect may have stolen guns, but that has not been verified. The witness told the sheriff's office that the suspect had gotten away in a silver SUV.
The suspect is a white male in his late teens or early 20s, wearing a white hoodie and a black baseball cap.
A deputy initially responded to the scene. Officers have since been checking vehicles around Colorado Springs that match the description., but nothing has panned out. The SUV was first spotted going southbound on Murray Boulevard.
The investigation is still active, and additional details remain unavailable at this time.
Anyone with any information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

It was nothing personal about Colorado.
In fact, newly named Wake Forest coach Jeff Bzdelik barely referenced his former employer. He certainly didn't thank his former employer for the opportunity, which is the standard news conference procedure.
No. Bzdelik told the live-streamed media gathering conference at the ACC school in Winston-Salem, NC: "This is my dream job and I look forward to the challenge."
Bzdelik was introduced this morning as Wake Forest's new coach, a week after Dino Gaudio was fired with a 61-31 two-year record. For all his NBA and college travels, Bzdelik said the North Carolina private school was where he wanted to be since family trips in the area many years ago. He also repeatedly mentioned that coaching in the ACC was a bonus.
No financial terms were announced, however his CU contract includes a $500,000 buyout.
But Wake Forest athletic director Ron Wellman, in listing Bzdelik's qualifications, said Bzdelik took a Colorado program that had "many, many challenges on the floor and off the floor and he improved that program each and every year to the point they should be a competitor for an NCAA berth."
The formality capped five days of whirlwind speculation over Bzdelik's decision.
"It's and honor and privilege be the new basketball coach at Wake Forest," Bzdelik said. "The vision I have is very simple, very clear. We want to win and go to post-season play. This is my dream job and I look forward to the challenge."
Bzdelik said he would retain at least two Wake Forest assistants. As for the Princeton offense he inherited at Air Force, he said, "We're in North Carolina now."
Wellman said Bzdelik rose to the top on the list of candidates because of his prior stops, including CU and Air Force.
"He understands Wake Forest," Wellman said, adding that he was impressed by what Bzdelik accomplished at CU.
On Tuesday, Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn was inundated with calls from men's basketball coaches looking to fill CU's expected vacancy.
"It's off the charts," Bohn said of the number of calls asking about the job.
Bohn said he has had more interest expressed in the position the past few days than he did the entire six months leading to Bzdelik's hiring in 2007.
For all the calls Bohn is getting from outside the CU program, he will face some intensive lobbying from his players to promote associate head coach Steve McClain.
"Everyone wants Coach McClain," Big 12 freshman of the year Alec Burks said this week.
Burks said if McClain isn't promoted he doesn't know what he will do, but knows it's too early to play in the NBA.
Bohn will immediately start a search for a replacement and employ similar criteria used to hire new CU women's coach Linda Lappe. Other potential candidates whose names are expected to surface include Northern Colorado coach Tad Boyle, a former Kansas player from Greeley who has turned around the UNC program; Mike Dunlap, who coached Metro State to two Division II championships, then joined the Nuggets' staff for two seasons and this past season was an assistant at Oregon; and former CU star Jamahl Mosley, who has been with the Nuggets for five years and for the past three seasons has led their player development.
The CU program showed progress under Bzdelik the last three years, but he was unable to get the Buffs into the NCAA Tournament. CU has invested more money in the program in recent years and recently broke ground on a $10.8 million practice facility. The 35,000-square-foot building, adjacent to the Coors Events Center, is scheduled to open in August 2011. Two years ago, the basketball offices moved to the Events Center. A new weight room was added and the locker room was renovated.
While disappointed with Bzdelik's move, Bohn said, "Jeff has done a lot of good things for the University of Colorado."
Wake Forest will owe CU $500,000 to buy out Bzdelik's contract. Bzdelik leaves CU with a 36-58 record (10-38 in the Big 12). Wake Forest typically contends in the upper half of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Ray Charles ,
Everyday Music is now open at 1521 10th Ave, right next to Oddfellows, and what will soon be Elliott Bay Book Company.
Ray Charles, Modern Sounds in in Country and Western Music, 1962: Obviously, this was a huge crossover hit for the late Ray Charles. His covers of "Born to Lose," and "Bye Bye Love" are sublime. Charles took it up a notch on his follow-up, Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Vol. II. His take on "Your Cheating Heart" makes all contemporary covers just seem sad.
The Atlantic Family Live at Montreux, 1977: I've written about this record before. But I've never seen it out in the wild. The other copy I've got at home was procured through eBay. This is an all-star cast--Michael Brecker, Herbie Mann, David "Fathead" Newman, and many more--backed up by the Average White Band. Their 21-minute take on "Pike Up The Pieces" is life affirming. You need to take a day off to soak it up.
Stephen Stills, Manassas, 1972: Manassas mixed up '70s country and soul with an angry slide guitar. This is heaven on wax. (Sadly, I only got ONE of the records in this double album.)
Neil Diamond, Hot August Night, 1972: "Holly Holy" alone is worth the 50 cents I paid for this. As a former record store employee, I never thought I'd be responsible for taking a Neil Diamond record OUT of a record store (they just keep coming in by the truck load), but I feel like I've done my part now to help thin the ranks.

As the sun slips
Dying for another day
Under the horizon
She is released
Her kingdom for the moon
To guard
To light
Until tomorrow

A long-term transition � one we describe as moving from the "Institutional Era" to the "Human Era" � necessitates new strategies for connecting at eye-level and building trusted, ongoing relationships with customers and clients.
Meredith Verdone, senior vice president and brand, advertising and research executive at Bank of America, has played an integral role in helping the company rebuild its reputation coming out of the financial crisis. She�ll discuss the company�s transformation strategy � both internal and external � and how they are thinking differently to thrive in the Human Era.

Was given a script at my 24 week OB appt to get the Rhogam test done at 28 weeks because I'm apparently O-. I knew I was O but didn't recall which. Fine. Went to OB today for normal 4 week check (at 28.5 weeks) and was given glucose screen script. Figured I'd do both at once. Fine. So because of the Rhogam, I needed to go to hospital rather than next door to draw blood. Fine.
So I drink the crappy orange fluid and I'm half an hour into waiting. (Btw- it is making me so nauseous and lightheaded. Ick.) Then I start hearing people talking about me on the phone. They call me over. Apparently now my OB office is saying I'm O+ not - so I do NOT need the Rhogam. Really? Are we sure?
Kind of frustrating. I could have done the glucose test half an hour sooner by not driving to the hospital. And there was a mix up before with bloodwork for me inthe very beginning of this pregnancy when some normal profile panel that was supposed to be done, that I had blood drawn for, was then cancelled by someone at the OB office. It shouldn't have been. They has to reorder it and I had to go back for another blood draw. But... Hmmm...
Makes me wonder if I should be concerned. These are all little things. Ultimately. But if the little things can get messed up, it doesn't give me much faith that the no ones will be done correctly either, like, oh- Labor and Delivery?? :-(
I know I'm venting and this is long. Sorry. Maybe I'm concerned over nothing. I'm just feeling a little like I need to be suspicious an questioning about all sorts of things now bc I can't trust that things are actually being done correctly. Sigh.
