Clarke sent me this response, but did not provide part/item numbers. Can you assist? thanks, Don Barnes Clarke (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com) : Hello Donald, Thank you for your inquiry! The Genesis SL Scuba Dive Mask will accept the Rx lenses +2.0 and +2.5 in the left and right are currently in stock.

Hello Donald, this mask is no longer listed on our mask with optical lens. At the time when Clarke responded to your request. It was listed now that the new equipment is coming out for next year the new version of this mask could have been changed in design and no longer take the lens. You would need to contact the manufacture directly to find out if it take optical lens. The phone number to the manufacture is (800) 347-9766.
The M 01 series of corrective lenses APPEAR to fit the TUSA MC 5100 and the Genesis SL, as well as one of the body glove models. Is the correct?????
I have been an avid snorkler for 40 years. Last year I purchased a Genesis SL mask with corrective lenses. The mask lenses constantly fogged in spite of old tricks (spit) and newer tricks (fog liqiud). I was disappointed and miserable for 14 days of snorkeling. We are leaving soon on another snokeling adventure, and I need help so as to avoid another ruined trip. I have physical disabilities, and I only feel totally well when floating and looking at the fabulous world under the sea. Please help! Thank you.
First and most important, every new mask should be washed inside and out with a normal, non-grit toothpaste. This will clean the residue left from the material used on the lenses from the grinding process. If this residue is not cleaned off, the mask will fog constantly. After that, a normal defog of choice should do the trick.
I borrowed a Genisis mask recentley from a friend. I broke the little roller bar that the strap goes thru. I would like to replace the exacy same mask to my friend. Do yopu still make the genisis scuba (clear) . It has a Emblem of G One on the top of mask. Can you help me.? Please reply. I feel terrible about my error. Thanks ! firstname.lastname@example.com

Tin cups, CDs and chairs are strewn about Mike and Densie Lumbert's front and back yard. That's all that is left of their Mason home. The house exploded Saturday afternoon, and now, the Lumbert's are living in a hotel.
Investigators aren't sure what caused the house to blow up, but firefighters say they've never seen such a disastrous home explosion.
Rod and Mike Lumbert picked through the rubble Sunday, they say it's a miracle no one was home when the house blew up.
Mike Lumbert said on Saturday, he went to get a haircut and a bite to eat, and when he arrived home, his house was in flames. Just days before the explosion, Mike Lumbert said he removed his dog and cats from the house in order to fumigate his house with bug bombs.
The Lumberts have a 16-year-old and a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter.

CLEVELAND -- It's the biggest festival for the Cleveland Hispanic community and it takes place this Saturday.
More than 2,000 people are expected to gather at St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland for the Convencion Hispana.
Joining us Friday was Jose Feliciano, chairman of the Hispanic Roundtable.
The Convención Hispana event is free and open to the public.
Convencion Hispana provides free breakfast and lunch, health screenings and exhibits, a job fair, networking, music, culture and raffles.
The Keynote Speaker is San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro.
St. Ignatius is located at 1911 West 30th Street in Cleveland.
Convención Hispana is a one-day event sponsored by the Hispanic Roundtable, but it is also a three-year process of community empowerment & agenda setting.
Spearheaded through the work of four volunteer-led committees focusing in the areas of education, empowerment, health, and workforce & economic development.
The event serves as a vehicle for the collaboration of the Greater Cleveland Hispanic community organizations, partners and leaders while promoting the mission of the Hispanic Roundtable.
The work of the Convención Hispana has brought forth the development of many outstanding organizations in the Hispanic community, including: Esperanza (a non-profit organization focused on Hispanic education issues), the Hispanic Business Association, the Hispanic Senior Center, the Hispanic Domestic Violence Program, and the Hispanic Contractors Association.
As part of the education initiatives to encourage youth to attend college, there will be an essay contest for high school students with scholarship awards of up to $1000.
In addition, community leadership awards will be presented with nominations coming from the community and the Convención Hispana process.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (Sports Network) - Novak Djokovic captured the
Dubai Tennis Championships for a fourth time after claiming a straight-set win
over Tomas Berdych in Saturday's final.
The top-seeded Djokovic remained unbeaten in 2013 and ran his winning streak
to 18 straight matches dating back to last year with a 7-5, 6-3 victory. It
was the world No. 1's first tournament since picking up his third straight
Australian Open title in January.
Djokovic beat Berdych in the quarterfinals in Melbourne and Saturday's win
improved the Serb's record to 13-1 against the Czech. He has won 11 straight
over Berdych, including a semifinal victory in Dubai two years ago.
Berdych appeared to have Djokovic on the ropes early Saturday with a 4-2 lead
after an early break of serve. Djokovic regrouped and broke back to make it
4-4 and broke again in the final game of the first set when Berdych committed
a double fault.
The second set remained on serve until the eighth game, when Djokovic
converted the lone break point for either player in the set. It gave him a 5-3
lead and he quickly closed out the match in the following game.
Djokovic, who previously won this event three straight years from 2009-11,
earned his 36th career title. He improved to 36-19 in finals.
Berdych fell to 8-10 all-time in finals, including 0-2 this year. He was also
the runner-up last week in Marseille, falling to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the
title match.

Radio-thon......In the Books

Children's Hospital Radio-thon
has come and gone. The two day event was the culmination of months of effort by groups of people whose names you will never hear on the air.
department made sure that all 5 of the Entercom stations sounded great and ensured it happened at
different locations
. With three stations orignating from Memorial Hospital and the other two from
Mac's Speed Shop
every one of our technical needs were met.
executed a flawless yet very complex and aggressive plan. Each was at their respective site from 5am to 5pm for two days. That is in addtion to the weeks of prep work and site visits.
Web Mistress, Tracy
, created numerous pages for each of the 5 stations,made numerous changes to each station site, all to support the event. Then as the radio-thon took to the air, she stayed at the Hospital taking pictures, updating all 5 station Facebook pages, as well as the station web sites. Again,
of work for two, very fast paced, very long days.
Prior to the event, our
Director of Production, Stan
, interviewed numerous families so he could help tell their stories. After the interviews, began the process of creating from scratch those stories being set to music. Marrying the words and emotions of the parents and patients, to the lyrics of a wide variety of songs. This required not days, not weeks, but
of labor and creativity to convey a multitude of messages. All that work lasted only 24 hours spread over 5 very diverse stations.
This year we deviated from our standard approach of having all the stations at a central location by peeling off
The Planet
so we could originate our programming from one the coolest places in town,
Macks Speed Shop
. Don't let the name fool you. It is a great restaurant with equally good food and talented staff and management. They made
he Rise Guys
crew and me very comfortable. They fed us and enabled us ask you, to help others. They brought staff in before 5am to prepare an amazing breakfast. All this from an establishment that normally isn't open before 11:30am. I hoped we helped them as much as they helped us.
in our
Digital department
took a billion pics and shot video,
Jim, Judy, and Sara
made sure all of the commercials, etc were scheduled and got on the air. You gotta pay the bills, which brings us to
. There are far too many folks in that department to try to list. They sold sponsorships, scheduled clients to arrive to be on the air, held hands, stroked egos, and suffered the constant ridicule from.....well most everyone, including me. That's how we show love. LOL
Last but definitely not least is our
Promotions Department
Kieria, and Lacy
were yet another team that had to coordinate a million details to ensure both locations were staffed, decorated, provided updates for each and every function of the event. Like others they arrived in the five o'clock hour each morning and were the last to leave each evening. Just like the Marines..
first to land...last to leave
. Both ladies did a remarkable job. Each was responsible for additional members of their department like
Tyler, Jonathon
and those at the Hospital I never got a chance to see.
So, after all
folks did all
got to show up and do ours, Yak every few minutes, try to entertain and God help us all.....follow directions. If you think we had the easiest jobs, with the most glamor, you would be
. Without all those listed above and
financial support to the Children's Hospital, it all would have crashed and burned. On the other hand it was a glorious success and all of them as well as you get all the credit. On behalf of everyone, thank you.

Good to see Gee come inside a couple times. Hope it was intentional and not just wildness.
Someone better send Bay to an optometrist. I'd be surprised if he can see well enough to find the Weaver Street exit on the Hutch, never mind hit an outside fastball or curve. He still hustles and plays like a gamer, but he's worse than useless.
Ike has to go down, but every other supposed first baseman on the roster plays defense like Venus de Milo. They're stuck.
Who put this team together, Dr. Frankenstein? Shocked that Alderson even showed up in public. It doesn't get any more embarrassing than this weekend. Where's Wilpon, playing tennis in Boca? Sad.
Howard Megdal
I don't know, Herman. Tennis in Boca sounds nice.
I'll sign on. But, Love means nothing to those people. :-)

Kathy Stewart and Max Smith, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – With snow and later ice predicted to fall over the D.C. region Sunday, emergency responders urge drivers to review basic winter weather safety tips.
The Maryland State Highway Administration's Charlie Gischlar says drivers who have to head out in rough weather should be prepared with a full tank of gas, decent tires and plenty of patience.
Gischlar says that with two football games in the area Sunday – the Redskins at FedEx Field, in Landover, the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore – thousands of people will be on the I-95 corridor. "So if you're trying to head out to the game, keep an eye on the weather. If it does go bad, know before you go," Gischlar says, advising drivers to give themselves lots of extra time both Sunday and Monday.
"Even people with four-wheel drive, if you encounter ice, you're going to have no control of your vehicle; you're just going to skid in four-wheel drive," Gischlar warns.
If drivers see a snow plow or salt truck on the road, Gischlar says it is important to be patient and not try to pass them.
"The uncleared and untreated road is ahead of them, and the treated roadway is behind them, so there is no earthly reason why you should pass them. If you do pass them and you end up skidding out or becoming disabled, it disrupts everything, and they have to pull over and help you of course. But that also is letting all that weather pile up on the roadway ahead, so that's not really fair to other motorists and it's not safe either," Gischlar says.
Lt. Steve Hawkins, with the Virginia State Police in Fairfax, recommends putting that ice scraper in your car and any other safety supplies now – before Sunday's weather hits.
Items such as blankets, food and drinks can come in handy if your car becomes disabled. A bag of sand or salt can help give your tires the traction they need to get up a hill or just get out of the driveway.
If are out on the road in the bad weather, Hawkins says, "Drive at a safe speed, and that may not be the speed limit."
Most accidents happen within the first two hours after a storm begins, so make sure you buckle up. Put down the cell phone and pay attention to the road, and know who is in front of you and all around you. And give yourself plenty of time and space to safely stop, he says.
"If this weather hits like forecasters are saying, then we will be busy. But we will have resources and troopers out on the roadway to respond to all the incidents," Hawkins says.
But if you don't have to be on the road Sunday, then stay home so VDOT can clear the roads, he says.
If reason doesn't change your ways, there are always cheesy slogans to help remind drivers how to stay safe.
"We say 'Don't crowd the plow', and 'On ice and snow, take it slow'," Gischlar says. There's also the old, "Know before you go."

|Another Perspective
|Written by Lori Pankonin, The Imperial Republican
Amongst changing world, some things stay constant
Why should I be surprised that June has already slipped away? When I think I have somewhat of a free day, it seems it's over before it ever really starts. I guess that's better than having time drag.
You see kids that you haven't seen for awhile and WHOA . . . Are they really that big? That applies to a 7-month-old or a 20-year-old.
Kids grow, crops grow, adults age, progress happens and change and more change flashes before our eyes day after day, year after year.
Emphasis in change was apparent when reading over Imperial's 125th Anniversary memoirs. Having lived in Chase County, Neb. 90 percent of my life, I remember some of the history. When you're there when it happens, you don't notice the change as much. But when you reminisce, the reality of the past is so keen.
My grandpa died when he was 98. I recall him reflecting about the advent of the automobile, the airplane, radio, television, computers and space activity. He took particular interest in the change in farming and ranching. He truly felt that no other generation would probably witness that much change.
I can understand his thinking at the time BUT . . . On the contrary, I would surmise that there is now more technology change in a year than he saw in his close-to-a-century lifetime.
When we got our first bag phone, it was so incredible that we could actually make a phone call from our car. Those are so obsolete today. Now I generally have a phone in my purse or pocket. My e-mail to a friend in Denmark transfers as quickly as one to my mom one block away. Incredible!
If you lock your keys in the car, you make a phone call and . . . clunk . . . the door unlocks. It's magic. That's even more significant when a young child gets locked in a hot vehicle. I read of a surgeon who saved a young girl's life by doing an intricate surgery, and he wasn't even in the same hospital. That's right, he operated the equipment by satellite from miles away.
Our computer tech can log onto my computer and see exactly what I see. It's actually rather scary how easy it is for someone to impersonate you, making identity theft fraud more and more of a concern.
GPS (global positioning system) capabilities can be incredibly helpful, but the whole concept is actually rather scary. Is privacy an option anymore?
On a different note, I took interest in the brick laying procedure recently as I watched that age-old process. Oh my gosh. That is actually a trade that hasn't seen much change for thousands of years. The mortar is mixed and the bricks are laid by hand, one brick at a time, eventually progressing into a full row, eventually making a wall.
My mother-in-law still joins a group of church ladies who hand quilt each week. Machines have provided a whole new approach to preparing the quilt, however when the ladies receive the work of art that's ready for hand quilting, it's the same basic procedure. Thread, needles and precious hands go to work, making tiny stitches amidst bonding conversation.
You know, there are other things that haven't changed. People are still people. Even though we function differently, we are still sensitive to the love and caring of others. Women have babies. Communities see progress because of planning and help from volunteers.
Kids play. Even though toys of yesteryear were less sophisticated in many instances, play time was no different. It sparked creativity, make-believe living and making friends.
As you look at old, old pictures, there are families with young growing children. They all need clothed, fed and loved. How different is that than the content of the family pictures today? Our ancestors celebrated joys, yet they faced tragedy. To me, having faith is what carries us through both.
Praise God for progress as well as for things that do not change.

The bill was produced by lobbyists. Duh. The track's lobbyists. All 40 of them. It was amended by Senator Snyder to save jobs and infrastructure.

The bill has been watered-down by special interests lobbyists.

Research interests
Formal verification, model checking, program analysis, decision procedures and automated theorm provers, abstraction refinement, compositional methods, parameterized systems, Craig interpolation.
I started out as an electrical engineer, designing chips and biomedical instruments. My undergraduate degree is in EE, from the University of Illinois, and I also have an MSEE from Stanford. This experience got me interested in the process of designing comnplex systems, and in particular, how we determine that complex system designs are correct. I switched to computer science, doing my Ph.D. with Ed Clarke at CMU, graduating in 1992. My thesis was on a technique called Symbolic Model Checking that could be used to verify logical properties of finite-state systems by efficiently exploring very large state spaces. I developed a model checker called SMV that implemented these techniques, as well as other techniques for combatting the so-called state explosion problem.
I went on to do research at Bell Labs, Cadence Berkeley Labs, and now (as of 2010) Microsoft Research. At Cadence, I further developed SMV, incorporating methods of compositinonality and abtrsction to break large verification problems down into small ones in a tool called Cadence SMV. More recently, I've been mainly interested in the question of relevance. That is, if you want to prove a logical property of a complex object like an computer program or a hardware design, how do you decide what information about that system is relevant to that property? This lead to a technique called Craig interpolation that allows us to use logical proof as a basis for relevance, and can be used as the foundation of formal verification tools for hardware and software.
Current projects
My current projects include an interpolating version of the highly efficient SMT solver Z3, as well as tools for abstraction refinement, invariant generation and model checking based on interpolation. I'm also interested in the use of symbolic algorithms in other fields and am currently working on an application of constraint solving in education and human-computer interaction in the form of an elementary geometry tutor.

Purification of a polyhistidine- or HQ-tagged protein that has been expressed in rabbit reticulocyte lysate is currently limited by hemoglobin in the lysate copurifying with the protein of interest. Hemoglobin copurification limits downstream applications (e.g., fluorescence-based functional assays, protein-protein interaction studies) and reduces the amount of protein purified. Thus, we developed a unique system that purifies polyhistidine- or HQ-tagged proteins expressed in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. These polyhistidine- or HQ-tagged proteins are 99% free of contaminating hemoglobin. The MagZ™ Protein Purification System provides a simple, rapid and reliable method to purify expressed polyhistidine- or HQ-tagged protein from rabbit reticulocyte lysate. Paramagnetic precharged particles can be used to isolate polyhistidine- or HQ-tagged protein from 50–500µl of TNT® Rabbit Reticulocyte Lysate with minimal copurification of hemoglobin.

(USA Today) -- Former President George H.W. Bush has been in a Houston hospital for a week with a lingering cough that has drawn concern, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Bush, 88, has bronchitis, but his condition is not considered life threatening and he is expected to be released this weekend, Jean Becker, his chief of staff, tells the Chronicle.
She said his staff has "kept this quiet out of respect for him."
Becker tells the Chronicle that Bush has been in and out of Methodist Hospital for a few weeks. He was visited there Sunday by his son, former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura.
"His big problem is a chronic cough, he can't get rid of so he's back at Methodist," Becker says. "This is not a life-threatening illness."
She said earlier concerns that the cough would turn into pneumonia never materialized.
Bush served as president from 1989-1993. Before that he served as vice president for two terms under President Ronald Reagan.

Retailers will find a way
August 06, 2013 - LM Editorial
The technological problems that have caused the disruptions in container operations at the Port of New York and New Jersey, have been well documented in LM and the mainstream business press of late.
Newly-installed computer systems apparently don't communicate with a legacy network, thereby leaving machines unable to communicate with one another.
The upside, is that labor and management are working to together to resolve the issue, and shippers are cooperating with their trade associations to find alternative solutions.
Jon Gold, Vice President-Supply Chain, National Retail Federation, put it in even greater perspective by telling us that a valuable lesson can be learned here.
"The important news is that everyone is on the same page in trying to expedite shipping. Other transport modes may be used, or other routes and gateways selected, but in the end…retailers will find a way."
Gold is now on his way the U.S. West Coast where his mission will be a bit less stressful. He will be giving a presentation on "The Trade Policy View from DC" to business leaders in Seattle, Washington at the annual WCIT Summer Trade Luncheon.
"The Pacific Rim ports are not without their problems, either," he said. "But we see more open dialogues among industry stakeholders that might not have taken place in the past."
Communication – whether it be technological or interpersonal – is the key to advancing every port's agenda.

(WTSP) -- Breast cancer patients undergoing treatment, may want to have their Vitamin D levels in their blood checked.
Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center tested 166 women going through breast cancer treat and found 70 percent had low levels of Vitamin D in their blood.
Scientists say women with late-stage breast cancer and women with darker skin in the study, had even lower levels of Vitamin D.
According to Luke Peppone, PhD., research assistant professor of Radiation Oncology at Rochester's James P. Wilmot Cancer Center, "Vitamin D is essential to maintaining bone health, and women with breast cancer have accelerated bone loss due to the nature of hormone therapy and chemotherapy. It's important for women and their doctors to work together to boost their vitamin D intake."
Researchers say some women had to receive high doses of Vitamin D3 (50,000 international units or more) to improve their levels.
Some foods contain Vitamin D including milk, fortified cereals, wild salmon and egg yolks. You can also sit in the early morning sun a few times a week.

Vitamin D is needed for cell growth, boosting the body's immune system and strengthening bones.
Doctors say symptoms of Vitamin D deficieny include muscle pain, weak bones/fractures, low energy and fatigue, lowered immunity, symptoms of depression and mood swings, and sleep irregularities, many of which are common for women undergoing breast cancer treatment.
The National Cancer Institute paid for the study. Researchers presented the study at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's Breast Cancer Synposium.

Keeping track of all your information can become a chore if you keep your files in different locations. Perhaps you store some files on a computer, others in folders on a network server, and still others on mobile devices such as portable music players, personal digital assistants (PDAs), or mobile phones.
How can you be certain you're working with the most recent versions of your files when you have copies scattered everywhere? And how can you make sure you have all the files you want on the computer, server, or mobile devices you use without spending a lot of time copying files manually? The easiest and most efficient way is to sync your files automatically using Sync Center.
In Windows, sync (short for synchronization) is the process of keeping files in two or more locations matched with each other.
Sync can be one way or two way. In one-way sync, every time you add, change, or delete a file or other information in one location, the same information is added, changed, or deleted in the other location. But no changes are ever made to the first location because the sync is only one way.
In two-way sync, files are copied in both directions, keeping files in sync in two locations. Every time you add, change, or delete a file in either location, the same change is made in the other sync location. It doesn't matter whether you made the changes on a computer, a mobile device, or a folder on a network server; the same changes will be made in both locations. Two-way sync is commonly used in work environments, where files are often updated in more than one location and then synced with other locations.
Sync Center is the place to go to sync your computer with network folders, mobile devices, and compatible programs. Sync Center can automatically keep your files and folders in sync in different locations.
Open Sync Center by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking Sync Center.
In the past, the sync process was so complex that many people relied on a system administrator to set up sync for them. With Sync Center, you can do it yourself. There are no server settings to worry about, even if you sync with a folder on a network server. All you have to do is tell Sync Center what files and folders you want to sync, where to sync them, and when. This set of rules—which represents a partnership between two or more sync locations—is called a sync partnership.
You can schedule Sync Center to sync your partnerships as often as you want. You can schedule an automatic sync on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, or when a specific event occurs, such as every time you log on to your computer. You can also perform a manual sync at any time, such as when you are getting ready to disconnect a mobile PC from the network and want to make sure you have the latest copies of files on a network server.
Every time you sync files between two locations (such as between a computer and a mobile device), Sync Center compares the files in both locations to see if they still match or if any have changed. It determines if any files need to be updated in order to stay in sync.
If the files differ, Sync Center determines which version of each file to keep and copies that version to the other location, overwriting the other version there. It selects the most recent version to keep, unless you have set up the sync partnership to sync differently.
If a file has changed in both locations since the last sync, Sync Center flags this as a sync conflict and asks you to choose which version to keep.
If the files are identical in both locations, Sync Center does nothing because the files are already in sync.
If you have added a new file in one location but not the other, Sync Center will copy the file to the other location.
If you have deleted a file from one location but not the other, Sync Center will delete the file from the other location.
The following scenarios illustrate several of the most common and useful ways to keep your information in sync. Using Sync Center, you can sync:
Music stored on a portable music player and music stored on a computer. You store your main collection of music on your computer, and you want to make sure that any music you add to or delete from your computer is also added to or deleted from your portable player. But you don't want any songs you delete from your portable player to be deleted from your computer, so you create a one-way sync partnership between your computer and music player. If you add or delete any music on your computer, Sync Center will add or delete the same songs on your music player.
Files stored on a computer and in a network folder. You work collaboratively with your colleagues on a set of documents stored on a network server. You set up an Offline Files sync partnership with this network folder. Now any time you disconnect your computer from the network or the server loses its network connection, you can continue working on those files without interruption. The next time you reconnect to the network folder, any changes you have made are also made to the files in the network folder.
The ability to sync with network folders is not included in Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic, and Windows Vista Home Premium.

|DIBELS testing a successful tool
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
DIBELS (Dynamic Indicator Basic Early Literacy Skills) testing is used in Holyoke Elementary School as a tool for screening. It serves as an indicator of outcomes of students' reading, and is given to Holyoke students in grades 1-3.
Literacy coordinator Nancy Kennedy and Elementary Principal Kyle Stumpf outlined DIBELS testing at the Nov. 3 meeting of the Re-1J Board of Education.
With Read to Achieve grant funding coming to an end after this year, the level of value of DIBELS testing must be determined, as the program will need to be absorbed into the general fund if it's continued.
In serving as an indicator of outcomes, DIBELS testing is a tool for identifying specific needs, for monitoring progress and for evaluating success of interventions.
DIBELS measures five components of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency and accuracy with connected text, vocabulary and language, as well as comprehension.
Teachers have been trained to monitor DIBELS testing in the exact same way. It serves as a reliable and validated predictor of reading success.
Kennedy pointed out Holyoke students who enter third grade reading 90+ wcpm (words correctly per minute) are very likely to be proficient or advanced on CSAP testing.
All but one student who entered third grade reading 90+ wcpm scored either proficient or advanced on CSAPs, in each of the years 2006, 2007 and 2008. In 2009, 100 percent scored proficient or advanced.
Read to Achieve is a Colorado-funded program targeting strategic students who are close to grade level.
Citing Holyoke's success, the district was one of six out of 51 Read to Achieve schools that exceeded the goal of moving at least 65 percent of the strategic students to benchmark in every single grade level in the 2008-09 school year.
As a result, Kennedy and teacher Mary Austin have been asked to serve as presenters at two days of upcoming Read to Achieve training.
Kennedy cited seven factors which contributed to the reading success: dedicated teachers, in-school intervention and afterschool reading, school's disaggregation of data and response to information gathered, building leadership team and team meetings, Read Well onsite training and fidelity to the program, Read to Achieve consultant and parental support.
Holyoke's results from Read to Achieve showed 74 percent of identified strategic (close to grade level) students moved to benchmark.
In summary, Kennedy noted reading trajectories are established early. "Readers who start on a low trajectory tend to stay on a low trajectory, falling further and further behind UNLESS ... we do something to continue to intervene at an early age."
Department reports presented
Several other reports were presented at last week's school board meeting. Presenters included Maggie Busch, food service; Robert Jacobs, transportation; Perry Ingram, tecnnology; and Susan Ortner, random drug testing policy.
Students can now type in their key code if they don't take their lunch card to scan, said Busch. This solution was found when concern was expressed for junior high kids not eating because they didn't have their cards.
Participation numbers in the breakfast and lunch programs are up from last year, noted Busch. Numbers of breakfasts served increased by 23 to an average of 134 per day, comparing August of 2008 numbers to September of 2009. Lunches served averaged one more this year, at 356 per day in September. The breakfast and lunch averages were both down slightly in October.
Transportation supervisor Robert Jacobs reported they're running seven rural routes again this year, ranging from 90-122 miles per day for a total of 732 miles. Last year's range was 86-130 for a total of 756. Earliest pick-up is 6:57 a.m., with latest drop-off between 4:35-4:45 p.m.
Technology coordinator Perry Ingram reported the biggest project over the summer was adding another T1 line for increased band width. As this will always be an ongoing project, Ingram said Supt. Bret Miles set up a couple of sub-committees, one of which is working with Computers Etc. on obtaining grant funding.
Miles said Lori Nelson at Computers Etc. invested her own money to be part of this, and he appreciates having a partner like Computers Etc.
Ingram noted the teachers' computers are the oldest in the district, and have the biggest need right now. Miles said he asked Ingram to build a six-year refresh schedule. He added the grant for the educational project is focused on connecting with other people.
Holyoke JR/SR High Principal Susan Ortner reported the random drug testing (RDT) policy is being reviewed by committee members who have met for about five weeks, each Tuesday morning for about an hour. Approximately eight to 10 of the original committee which studied the RDT policy show up each week.
Ortner noted the section on randomization is close to being cleared up. School district standard operating procedures (SOPs) have been developed, and the group is starting to look at Centennial Mental Health's SOPs to provide input.
She said the policy will need to go back through legal counsel, and the group has talked about having someone else take a second look, as well. Supt. Miles is on board as the district's secondary RDT coordinator.
Holyoke is one of four school districts in Colorado that currently has a RDT policy.
Supt. Miles said he's asked the committee to evaluate how to make the best possible program—not whether or not there should be a RDT program. He said Ortner conducted a staff survey that has provided extra input that's been a welcome addition to the conversation.

Manitory! Tou will hate yourself for not taking it.
It depends what you want to kill. If you want to really judge a bull and make sure it's large enough then yes. If you just want to shoot a bull and size does not really matter then you really don't need to take it.

if you are hunting in timber you won't need one.
Archery elk?
If you bring one it will be dead weight.
If you don't, you will wish you did.
Murphy loves this question.
Archery elk, I dont even put the spotter in a panyard. Antelope I always have it. Deer I always have it. Archery elk is so physical I just use the leica binos.
I bring my spotter on every hunt. The one exception is when I hunt Eastern Iowa.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Shoot the best, Shoot PSE!
Useless where I hunt, to much timber. Just need a good set of 10 X binos
As most have mentioned....its not the animal you hunt but the area you hunt. If its wide open country, then by all means if you own one bring the thing. Lets just make a logical thought here vs post this question. Is 10x or 60x the image going to help you more?
Next is the area your hunting. If you are in timber so dence you cant see more than 30 yards. (like where I hunt elk). Now the use of spotter is rather retarded and will be dead weight as said by BB. Your 10x binos will do just fine. Then again...they may be too much.
I use my binos when I can get up on a ridge and want to pick apart the timber below me. In the woods I have used them from time to time, but they often are too much and not worth the effort of raising them to my eyes.
When I elk hunt, I usually have a day pack on me. I have tried and tried to reduce weight while out hunting. I always return to my camp at night. The more weight you pack, the harder your hiking will be.
I hunt because......
Dont need it IMO it's dead weight. My binos work just fine.
Can you handle the challenge.... hunt hard but safe!!

All of a sudden, after a couple years of use, my archived Local Folders just disappeared. I'd like to know why this happened and if the folders are still in existence. It's not a secure feeling to think that this could happen. The college I work for counts on being able to return to these emails in years hence. Thanks for your help in solving this troubling situation. I use Zimbra Desktop because it has this Local Folders feature, which is not offered by our regular Zimbra email account. I'm not sure why this is the case. It's an important option to be able to archive the emails through my department.

Millions of U.S. adults suffer from liver, bile duct, or gallbladder diseases.
The liver is the largest organ in the human body. It is also one of the most important ones. The biliary system consists of the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas -- all closely associated with the functioning of the liver.
Some liver, biliary, and pancreatic diseases are congenital (present at birth). Others can be prevented. In any case, whether these diseases are congenital, injury-related, viral-induced, or alcohol-induced, they can be devastating to a person's health and require medical care.

Anyone here hunt here for elk or deer?
Got drawn for a 3rd season buck deer and a late season cow tag. I picked this unit because it is close to home and I've heard the cows are easier to get with more snow. I thought about holding out for a bull in 20, but I'd prefer to hunt this unit more often than wait to hunt 4 years from now.
I haven't been out to scout yet, thus I'm wondering if anyone has any hints on where to start, elevation, what kind of cover deer prefer, and how many other deer hunters to expect during 3rd season.
So if you can help a newbie to this unit out I'd much appreciate it!

Winston-Salem, NC -- Police arrested a Winston-Salem man three days after he called in bomb threats to government buildings in Winston-Salem.
Officers took Rico Jamar Williams, 27, into custody Thursday after they say he called in bomb threats at the Federal Building and the Forsyth County Hall of Justice.
After going through all safety procedures Monday, authorities determined the threats were fake.
Police arrested and charged Williams with two counts of making a false bomb report to a public building Thursday afternoon.
He's being held in the Forsyth County Detention Center without bond.

Music and Mental Health Difficulties
Challenges - this link takes you to more specific challenges association with learning.
Brief description of Mental Health Difficulties
The term mental health describes a sense of well being. It implies the capacity to live in a resourceful and fulfilling manner, having the resilience to deal with the challenges and obstacles that life and studying present.
Depression, stress and anxiety are the most common types of mental illness experienced by students, and it is common for students to lack confidence and have low self-esteem despite having the same full range of intellectual abilities as the population as a whole.
Read more detailed information about this impairment. Remember you can use the back button to return to this page.
Teaching strategies associated with Mental Health Difficulties
These strategies are suggestions for inclusive teaching. This list should not be considered exhaustive and it is important to remember that all students are individuals and good practice for one student may not necessarily be good practice for another. You may also like to contact the Disability Specialist in your institution for further information. If you have any good practice that you would like to add to this list, please email your suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com
- Provide sufficient time to discuss needs with the student before/during their initial teaching session.
- Stress from new situations or pressure (especially for those who are away from home for the first time) may adversely affect people. Students should be made to feel welcome, at ease and confident. It may take time for students to settle into new situations, develop confidence and demonstrate abilities to the full. Allowances may need to be made for this.
- People with mental health difficulties may have experienced rejection by those who have not understood their needs. Establishing a good relationship with plenty of encouragement can prove extremely helpful. Aim to discuss the matter as fully as possible with the individual student in order to discover what situations they feel most comfortable and able to deal with.
- Students can sometimes be withdrawn or disruptive due to lack of understanding of tasks, or a feeling of inadequacy to demands. Being aware of this possibility allows tutors to intercede and attempt to break the cycle of failure.
- Students may be forced to miss lectures of tutorials as a result of their difficulties. Tutors can help by assisting students to keep up with course materials, ensuring that they receive back copies of handouts/lecture notes.
- If students are able to work for only limited amounts of time, allow extensions for submission of assignments taking care to monitor the student to ensure they are not building up a large backlog of work.
- Help students to manage their time and organise work; breaking tasks down into manageable chunks.
- Assessment, particularly formal assessments such as assignments and examinations can be very stressful students, this may lead to a below standard performance. Practice and reassurance can help students to overcome this.
- Some students may need access to a personal counsellor and may need to be encouraged to seek this help.
- Occasionally, students on medication may experience side effects such as drowsiness. Be aware of this if performance is affected.

Dear Editor:
Rosendale Councilmen Robert Ryan and Robert Gallagher should resign from office.
As you reported (Nov. 10), Ryan attended a Halloween party dressed in blackface. He said he could not understand why people were so upset about it. In a comment on the Facebook posting of the photo of this demeaning get up, fellow Rosendale Gallagher said, "THAT... Mr. Ryan ...IS politically... INcorrect... but funny."
But it's not funny, it's insulting and dehumanizing.
Dressing in blackface to entertain white audiences with their portrayals of black characters, white performers have carried on like this since the days of slavery. In countless minstrel shows, white performers put on blackface to make believe they were black people. These performances were always at the expense of the dignity of those portrayed; they rested on stereotypes of black people as criminal, stupid and powerless. A more recent version of this kind of minstrel show was "Amos N' Andy", in which white performers portrayed black people who were clueless.
Racist stereotypes are not "funny," nor are they harmless. Racism is very strong in America today, promoted in part by Republican Party's demagogic election appeals and attempts at voter suppression.
I suggest people read "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness", by Michele Alexander. This outstanding book looks at racism in the U.S .today, especially in the way in which people of color are disproportionately incarcerated, and then deprived of their basic rights. Racism causes great suffering for many people. It's no joke.
Their crude insensitivity on matters of race disqualifies both Ryan and Gallagher from any role as public leaders. I urge them to do the honorable thing and resign their posts.
Editor's note: Ryan apologized at this week's Town Board meeting.

How to get TopGear tickets
With the new telly series under way, we thought we'd set the record straight about audience tickets.
It's the single most-asked question here at TopGear.com and the headline is – it is possible to get them. Honestly.
Technically it's true that if we lined up all the people on the reserve list the wait would be years long, but the company that looks after ticket allocation is not operating a first-come-first-served policy.
And that basically means if your name's on the list you're in with a chance – no matter how long it's been on there.
To register in this ticket lottery, you need to go to the Applause Store website and fill in a few details. They also explain the rules of entry a little better than we have here, so take a look at those too before you sign up.
Failing that, you've got us. Here at TopGear.com we give you the best behind-the-scenes access to your favourite telly show – from Clarkson, Hammond, May and the Stig. And a decent schedule to every broadcast on every channel on TV, plus a guide to each episode. Shameless plug, yes, but true.
Anyway, good luck with the tickets. If you do get on the show don't forget to pitch in here on the post-programme Transmission blog and tell us everyone what it was like. If you don't, well, it was worth a try.
What do you think?

Heat sealed for freshness. Small balls, 50 g each, are ideal for facial treatments and large balls, 150 g each, are perfect for body treatments and massage.The herbal ball treatment is traditionally a hot treatment. The Sa-Wan Ball is soaked for five minutes, and then steamed in a steamer for 10-20 minutes before use. It is pressed along the Sen Sib lines, or acupressure zones of the body in a series of motions that include: a pressing with steady downward pressure: a "rock 'n roll," or back and forth motion: a "rolling" or orbital circular motion: and a " dragging" motion which is used to increase blood flow and lymphatic drainage. The Sa-Wan ball is used in combination with traditional Thai or Swedish massage or as a tool to work on specific parts of the body that need special attention for muscular tightness or pain.Available in Small - 2 pack 50 gram (facial) and Large - 2 pack 150 gram (body) sizes.Tip: Each ball is designed for single-client use.

This is a great product.I buy them throughout winter and early spring.Clients love them. They are so effective for muscle and joint tension and soreness!
The only disapointment I have with this product is that it can leave a yellow stain on light colored towels/sheets.
I have just recently in 2011 added the Thai Herbal Ball treatment to my practice after being trained by several Thai therapists friends. I love the quality and would buy them again to pamper my spa clients, but I wish the price were not quite so high. I have been tempted to go online and purchase them directly from Thailand, but I want the very best quality. I trust you!

Peace prize for EU, really?
Many peopled were bewildered by President Barack Obama's 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, less than a year into his term. It clearly was prospective rather than in recognition of any particular policy or achievement to that point.
This year's award to the entire European Union is even more curious.
It's true that Europe no longer is the cauldron of world war, as it was for much of the previous three centuries, but that is far from a function solely of the European Union.
While the EU has established formal ties and complex webs of interaction that contribute to the peace, the continent hardly is a web of tranquility. Broad economic disparity and financial problems continue to generate great civil unrest in Greece, Portugal, Spain and Ireland as residents recoil from the new era of austerity mandated by the EU's central players.
The Peace Prize can serve a valuable purpose by drawing attention to situations where individuals have shown extraordinary leadership and personal courage, and often have endured great personal sacrifice in the cause of peace, such as Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi.
But the committee seems to have a penchant for stunts like the EU award that detract, in the long run, from the true purpose of the enterprise.

text: Book publishers should be wary of Amazon's subscription plans Technology 13 September 11 by Tim Carmody Amazon What if a $79 (£49)/year subscription to Amazon Prime didn't just buy you faster shipping for hardcovers and small appliances, and free streaming for old movies and TV shows? What if it also let you read entire books from a similarly curated back catalog?Several executives speaking anonymously to the Wall Street Journal report that Amazon has approached book publishers about doing exactly that.Amazon has told publishers it is considering creating a digital-book library featuring older titles…Amazon would offer book publishers a substantial fee for participating in the program, people familiar with the proposal said. Some of these people said that Amazon would limit the amount of books that Amazon Prime customers could read for free every month.Before Prime members (disclosure: that's me) start gleefully rubbing their hands together, note that the publishers haven't signed on. In fact, their executives are deeply skeptical. (Amazon wouldn't comment on the story, for either the Journal or Wired)"What it would do is downgrade the value of the book business," said one publishing executive.Let me translate that for you: We have no idea how to price this, and that makes us afraid.Now much of the time, book publishers, like most other well-established media companies, are afraid to experiment with digital delivery for no real reason, for boring reasons, or out of simple inertia. Here, though, skepticism and even fear is totally understandable. Arguably, it even demonstrates good business sense.The Journal called Amazon's proposal "a Netflix Inc.-like service for digital books." Now, "Netflix for ____" has become a cliché, but if we take the metaphor seriously, we can understand why no book publisher wants to be Starz.Let's assume that Amazon convinced one or more major publishers, or a handful of mid-level ones, to sign on with this plan. One of two things could happen:1. The service doesn't get traction with customers, for whatever reason -- bad implementation, the catalog is too small/big or poor-quality, readers would rather own than rent -- and it crashes and burns. The publisher just went through a ton of work to pore over its giant catalogs, digitize more back content, figure out author compensation for this weird new thing. And now they look like idiots.2. The service is a smash hit. A big free catalog of books helps Amazon sell its next generation of tablets and e-readers faster than Foxconn can make them. Book clubs are binging on your back catalog and your content has more visibility and relevance than ever.A year into the deal, Random House CEO Markus Dohle (or whoever) is on stage with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. They clasp hands, and raise them over their heads to thunderous applause. As Dohle's smile widens and flashbulbs pop, only one thought is on his mind, which he fights to keep off his lips: "I should have asked for a lot more money."To this, let's add the following complications:• Amazon already has more power over every aspect of the book publishing business than Apple ever had with music or Netflix has now with anyone. Publishers are naturally wary of doing anything that ties their business more closely to Amazon's and further alienates or marginalises their competitors.• Book publishing is infinitely more fragmented and conflicted than any other media industry. It's bigger than you probably think -- in 2010, 1,963 publishers generated net revenue of $27.9 billion -- and it's growing, both in revenue and number of books sold. But it's all over the map. Textbooks and genre fiction don't have a whole lot to do with each other. Neither do giant megacorporations and vital little indies. Within each of these markets, authors, editors, agents, publishers, boards, large purchasers like libraries and school districts, retailers and reviewers all have substantial power, creating layers of competing but intricately connected interests that each need to be satisfied. This creates are all sorts of coordination and marketing problems that tend to thwart omnibus solutions.• Books don't have the same kind of problems with shelf life (har har har) that plague movies, music and television. A substantial chunk of the book business is and has always been in classics and "steady sellers." These in turn are periodically refreshed with new editions and translations. • Partly because of this, apart from used bookstores, with which publishers have never really dealt directly, an aftermarket for older books comparable to TV syndication or movie sales to premium or basic cable has never really developed. It was comparatively easy for Netflix's (or Amazon's) TV and movie partners to sign a deal, because it wasn't much different from an agreement they might sign with someone else. Book publishers don't have a comparable comparable. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

KIDWELL - When there is a championship on the line, teams seem to play a little harder, and the atmosphere gets a little more intense.
Throw in a pair of long-time rivals and it is hard to tell what might happen before the final trophy is awarded.
Saturday morning both Tyler Consolidated and Magnolia breezed to easy victories in the semifinals of the West Virginia Class A Regional One volleyball tournament, setting up a matchup with the regional title on the line.
After dropping a hard-fought first game, the Silver Knights went into beast mode, winning the next three behind big-time performances from senior Megan Carpenter and junior Bridget Matthews to capture a four-game, 21-25, 25-17, 25-13, 25-12 victory against the Blue Eagles at Tyler Consolidated High School.
Both teams had already punched their respective tickets to next week's state tournament in Charleston.
Coach Richard Summer's Tyler squad disposed of Madonna, 25-7, 25-11, 25-12 while Pam Chapman's Magnolia team ousted Paden City, 25-9, 25-17, 25-12 to move on.
In the final, the schools slugged it out for most of the first game with the Silver Knights (34-13) owning a late 20-19 lead. However, the Blue Eagles (26-10) scored six of the final seven points to rally for the victory and the early edge.
Magnolia's advantage was short-lived as Carpenter and Matthews began controlling the net and the Knights simply refused to give up the lead. Carpenter recorded a kill for the opening point of the second game and Matthews was credited with the first three points as Tyler Consolidated jumped to a 3-0 lead.
Magnolia did managed to overcome a five-point deficit and knot the count at 15-15, but still watched as the hosts evened things at a game each.
"I think we lost a little momentum after that first game, and we fought hard, we just couldn't get it back once it was gone,'' Chapman said. ''We will go back to work Monday and work on a few things and try to get them corrected for next week."
Game 3 was more of the same as the Silver Knights held service, with Matthews opening things up again, for the initial seven points of the game. For a second consecutive game Tyler Consolidated never trailed in taking control.
It was Magnolia coming out of the gate quickly in what turned out to be the final game of the match. The Eagles led 4-1 early, and appeared set to make a possible run at a fifth and decisive contest. However, the Knights had a couple of nice runs and with Carpenter and Matthews owning the net, Tyler Consolidated managed to capture the regional crown in four.
"Our front line did a very nice job, especially blocking shots, and just basically took control," Summers said. "I am very proud of the fact that we lost the first game but the girls never got down on themselves and stayed focused. What a great effort.
"We have four seniors that were just real determined that they were going to win this championship (Saturday) and they weren't going to let it get away from them. And our younger girls did an outstanding job rallying around them.
"But I can tell you this, I think these are two teams that are both going to be very capable of going to Charleston and making a little bit of noise. We have a ton of respect for Magnolia's program and this is a nice win for us."
While Magnolia had to settle for second Saturday, there was some consolation in knowing that not all was lost and it will also be in Charleston next week.
"We knew what we had accomplished after beating Paden City," Pam Chapman said. "But the girls still wanted that game bad. I told them afterwards to be proud of how they played (Saturday) and we are still going to the state tournament.
In all, Carpenter and Matthews combined for 36 kills and 30 points while Ariel Fish added 10 kills and nine blocks for the Silver Knights. Senior standout Mallory Chapman had 16 points and 16 kills for Magnolia while Cierra Fowler added 12 kills and Bailey Estep 30 assists.

(CNN) -- About 300 teenagers are realizing they picked the wrong place to throw a wild party after breaking into a former NFL player's second home and causing more than $20,000 in damage.
Brian Holloway, a former offensive tackle for the New England Patriots, was in Tampa, Florida, over Labor Day weekend when his son told him he was receiving tweets about a party at their home in Stephentown, New York, Holloway said.
Family knew teens who trashed their home Ex-NFL'er targets teens who trashed home NFL player seeks teens who trashed home
Holloway contacted police, but by the time they arrived, the damage was done.
"We had learned that they had broken in," Holloway told CNN's Brooke Baldwin Thursday.
He began a campaign to not only hold the teens responsible, but to also address the problem of teen alcohol and drug use.
He compiled a list of the tweets and photos from the party to identify the teens, and he created a website, www.helpmesave300.com.
As a result of his work with law enforcement, he says that 200 partygoers have been identified and the last 100 will be in the next few days.
Holloway says parents threatened him after he posted pictures of their children online in an attempt to hold them accountable.
This week, Holloway invited the teens to be accountable and help clean up his home in preparation for a military personnel picnic planned for this weekend that up to 1,000 people are expected to attend.
"Only one student showed up," Holloway said in disbelief. "Is it a statement about us as a community? If you take our temperature as a community, we get a failing grade. How is there no accountability?"
"We are working and interviewing, and once we have all the info we will proceed," Keefe said.
