Reviews for Slow-Cooked Chicken a La King
"Simple to put together with tasty results. I ended up seasoning with a bit more salt and pepper after tasting it."
"This was my first time making and eating chicken a la king and I loved it! I took the advice of some other reviews and used 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and there was a perfect amount of sauce. I also used mixed veggies instead of peas. So easy and I Will make again!"
"Great Weeknight Dinner. I used mixed frozen veggies, insted of just peas. I also left out the green peppers (too strong a flavor for me) and added a little chicken broth as the sauce was really thick. My crockpot only took 6 hours to cook. Nice and warm on a cold night."
"Just like Mom's only easier because of the slow cooker."
"Although tasty, it had more of a stew-like consistency, than the thick chicken a la king I remember from childhood. My husband and I actually liked it better the 2nd day after it had thickened some."

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
CMC Biologics will use its CHEF1® high-productivity expression plasmid to accelerate development of a cell line for RuiYi's monoclonal antibody RYI-008, under a collaboration whose value was not disclosed.
RYI-008 is highly selective to IL-6, a cytokine widely implicated in inflammation and cancer. RuiYi is developing RYI-008 under a global commercialization license from Belgian-owned arGEN-X, which discovered the monoclonal antibody and previously named it ARGX-109. It was the first of five preclinical stage human antibody candidates developed by arGEN-X using its SIMPLE Antibody™ platform since beginning operations in 2009.
Under an agreement announced in October, RuiYi agreed to take over development of the molecule in return for an undisclosed up-front payment to arGEN-X consisting of cash and equity. arGEN-X is also eligible for additional undisclosed amount of payments tied to achievement of clinical, regulatory, and commercialization milestones, as well as royalties based on worldwide net sales of therapeutic products.
"RYI-008 is an antibody with unprecedented potency and remarkable half-life, creating a significant opportunity to be a best-in-class product in the rapidly evolving field of IL-6 biology." said Mark Sawicki, Ph.D., global vp, business development of CMC Biologics. "This agreement underscores our strategic focus on biologics development in emerging markets."
CMC Biologics is a CMO that specializes in custom services for scale up, as well as cGMP manufacture of protein-based therapeutics for preclinical, clinical trials, and in-market production. CHEF1, approved for commercial production, is designed to produce high levels of recombinant protein quickly.
Headquartered in La Jolla, CA, RuiYi—which changed its name in October from Anaphore—carries out drug discovery in China at the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park in Pudong, Shanghai, using its own intramembranous Conformation Antigen Presenting (iCAP) system. Anaphore acquired the original RuiYi in March 2012.
In addition to RYI-008, RuiYi's pipeline includes two internally-developed monoclonal antibodies that target G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs).

Motorcyclists are increasingly prominent on the roads when the weather is nice. Registered motorcycles become more popular every year in Utah, with close to 80,000 motorcycles registered in the state this year. They're better for the environment, cheaper in gas and are less costly to insure. But compared to the safety cars offer, well...
Motorcycles do not have a frame of metal surrounding them to protect them from the impact of a crash. Assuming the rider's wearing the correct gear, the only thing between him or her and the road on a crash is a thin layer of leather and a helmet. Motorcycles are also smaller. A smaller space means they are harder to see and look farther away than they really are.
Cars, PLEASE pay attention when you're driving on the roads these coming months. In a demolition derby of car versus motorcycle, the car will win every time. The Utah Department of Public Safety says, 'Each year motorcycles become more popular and as a result, the number of motorcycles on Utah's roads continues to increase. If you're operating a motor vehicle, please watch for motorcyclists and drive aware. If you're on a motorcycle, please ride aware."
Save a life. Pay attention when you're driving.

|Partnering Opportunities with Career Services
View ways in which you can promote career development opportunities to your student beginning the first year they begin their college career.
1. Encourage your student to visit our office. If your student is feeling anxious about his/her future, suggest that they check out our website and consider making an appointment with a Career Counselor to discuss their interests and options. Encourage your student to attend Career Services hosted events.
3. Advise your student to write a resume. Writing a resume can be a "reality test" and can help a student identify areas that may be lacking or in need of enhancement. You can review resume drafts for grammar, spelling, and content, but recommend the final product be critiqued by one of our Career Services professionals.
4. Allow your student to make the decision. It's okay to make suggestions about majors and career fields, professional programs, and graduate schools, but let your student be the ultimate judge of what's best for them. Career development can be stressful because this may be the first big decision that they have had to make. Be patient, sympathetic and understanding, even if you don't agree with their decisions.
5. Emphasize the importance of internships. Career Services does not "place" your student in a job upon graduation. Colleges grant degrees, but not job guarantees, so having relevant experience in this competitive job market is critical. Students can sample career options by participating in internships and experimenting with summer employment opportunities or volunteer work. Your student can also search Hire-a-Falcon for internship and job opportunities.
6. Encourage extracurricular involvement. Part of experiencing college life is to be involved and active outside the classroom. Interpersonal and leadership skills—qualities valued by future employers—are often developed in extracurricular activities within student organizations, intramurals, and other activities on-campus.
7. Expose your student to the world of work. Most students have a stereotypical view of the workplace. Take them to your workplace. Explain what you do for a living. Show him or her how to network by interacting with your own colleagues. Help your student identify potential employers.
8. Professional networking. Introduce your student to people who have the careers/jobs that are of interest. Suggest your student contact people in your personal and professional networks for information on summer jobs. Encourage your student to use the UWRF Mentor Network to connect with professionals to learn about career fields through informational interviews, job shadowing, and other opportunities.
9. Help us help your student! If you have a summer, internship, part-time or full-time job opening, please let us know. Visit the Employer Resources part of our website. If you're willing to share your career experience with our students or alumni, we'd love to have you join our Mentor Network.

Wilier Cento1 SR Road Bike Frameset - 2015 $3,499.00
A piece of Italian history.
The story of the Cento1 is synonymous with the story of Wilier. The Cento1 reinvented the road bike, and reaffirmed Wilier's role in the Italian dominance of the peloton. Now, the Wilier Cento1 SR Road Bike Frame is your chance for a sample of modern history. Fully loaded with technological innovation, superior ride quality, and a blisteringly fast geometry, the Cento1 SR is the only legitimate choice for anyone looking for the best that Italy has to offer.
Before the SR, little had been changed on the Cento1 (Chen-toe-uno) since Alessandro Ballan won the 2008 World Championships on his, and that's because Wilier got it right the first time. In fact, before the SR, the Cento1 was was widely consider to be among the most balanced framesets in the world. The reason was simple, the tight-wheel base geometry was coupled with a comfortable, tapered head tube. And this head tube's height acted as the stabilizer to an otherwise over-excited frame geometry. In other words, this juxtaposition creates a bike that remains comfortable over the long haul, but drops the hammer in the quick moments of an attack. Much of this remains true today with the SR, however, Wilier has added doses from its other top-offerings in order to make it the most balanced frame in the contemporary Wilier lineup. Now, elements from the Zero.7 and Twin Blade have been incorporated, creating a new breed of bicycle that places an equal focus on aerodynamics, comfort, and power delivery.
Along these lines, the Cento1 SR benefits from one of the most effective power delivery systems on the market -- the combination of oversized, asymmetric chainstays and the Wilier-developed BB386EVO. Don't get aggravated at the thought of another 'new' bottom bracket design -- the proprietary design is compatible with all leading cranksets. Developed in cooperation with FSA, the BB386EVO is a competitor-dwarfing 86.5mm wide and has a diameter of 46mm. Wilier estimates that the new bottom bracket increases rigidity by 30%, and reduces power dispersion to almost zero. Additionally, this shell's width provides Wilier with the ability to widen the seat and down tube diameters by around 20mm. And as simple logic tells us, this drastically increases rigidity, while also promoting an efficient power transfer to the rear triangle. But, this also permits Wilier to decrease the tube's wall thickness, further shedding grams. You'll also find that the BB386 EVO was developed to use press fit bottom bracket cups, eliminating the need for alloy inserts in the shell. Of course, this also shaves a good deal of unnecessary weight. Altogether, Wilier credits BB386 EVO with increasing overall torsional rigidity by 133% and rear triangle stiffness by around 115%.
Now, you'll still find that many of the Cento1's key elements remain on the SR. In fact, Wilier found that crucial details like an integrated seat mast and the material flow over the frame were too vital to disregard. In terms of the latter, you'll notice the top tube and seatstays of the frame are molded from one continuous piece of carbon fiber that flows seamlessly into the top tube. This design, along with the seat mast, createa rigid rear triangle that delivers direct power transfer with minimal energy dispersion. Additionally, it creates a highly predictable sense of stability on high-velocity descents.
To ensure rigidity and the confident level of handling, the Cento1 SR has been constructed from a 60t Mitsubishi high-modulus carbon fiber. The 'T' in 60t refers to ton, as in it can withstand 60 tons of pressure per square millimeter. Wilier used strong carbon fiber, because the stronger the carbon, the less is needed. Thus, Wilier was able to strike the perfect balance between strength and weight.
Other new differentiators for the SR include a stiff, multifunctional 3D derailleur hanger, a 3D integrated cable routing plate under the bottom bracket shell, and an integrated adjuster plate for your internal cable routing. Most importantly, however, is the SR's integrated fork. Easily the SR's most distinguishing feature, the down tube is angled upwards, while the top tube accommodates the head tube's downward angle in approach to the new fork. The ideology behind this can be explained simply. Traditionally, the aforementioned juncture shared a geometry with that of a triangle, while the new design resembles that of a square. And simple logic tells us that the expanded surface area of a square is stiffer than the poignant angle of a triangle. This technology has been proven with the Twin Blade, and it greatly reduces the SR's aerodynamic footprint.

Among the Best of the Best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have owned a lot of the most revered bikes in the world over the past 5 years, and have spared no expense to do so. Never did I think that I would ever find a bike that I love as much as my Parlee; enter the Cento1 SR.
Not only providing one of the stiffest platforms I have ever ridden, the handling is confident and accurate without being overly fast; and for a frame that is this efficient, the weight is incredible!
The comfort exceeds that of any other race bike I have ever ridden or owned; it is truly impressive.
In addition to the being a spectacular ride, there aren't any strange component proclivities that prevent use of any common parts. The one exception to this is the bottom bracket; though the only crank standard eliminated is BB30; all others work perfectly. The stiffness that the BB386 Evo bottom bracket shell provides is well worth the small restriction on crank selection.
This is easily one of, if not the best bike I have ever ridden or owned.

.....most awesome....
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Not quite sure how to do this as I usually don't do reviews, however each time I ride the SR1 I feel the massive urge to share. Started out for my road bike needs with a super six years back, then bought a pina paris & now the SR1 & to sum it up right upfront - I arrived, I so did. This bike is simply beyond amazing. Not sure where to start, as the SR1 does everything so much better than my previous ones, it's amazingly stiff and yet so super comfortable & compliant without holding back/filtering out road information. As I am running this 386BB with ultra torque adapters I only can imagine how it would transfer power with a full blown 386 crank set. It's super stable (not lame) on high speed descents, yet super agile when needed without being nervous. The most amazing thing which always makes me want to ride more is that this bike simply disappears under your butt & becomes one with you. You're not riding a bike, the bike is becoming an extension of you moving on wheels. Many thanks to Wes Branham
, Brett & Mike at Competitive to make it happen & Wilier for a magic layup of 60 ton carbon. Riding the SR1 has been nothing but a revelation.
Hey Jo, since you had a pina paris, how are they compared in terms of comfort and stiffness?
Mike, sorry about the delay........not sure if it makes sense, however the SR1 is stiffer and more comfortable in my opinion, have to say though that i run it with Schwalbe one tubless in 25.......the pina had 23 with tubes, which was comfortable, but did not feel as it would transform pedal stroke into straight forward motion like the SR1.......i recently ran it with some 23 tubed on zipp 404 and that was very direct in terms of road feel, but still would not call it harsh.......dang, i love that bike!
Great follow up to the Cento1
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Around 6 years ago, I was the first employee at Competitive Cyclist to try out the original Wilier Cento1. My first impression of the Cento1 was very good. I was taken aback by the ride quality, lateral stiffness, stability and comfortable ride quality of the Cento1. Also, the pure beauty of the Italian design was breath taking. Especially when compared to the Cervelo R3 that I was riding at the time. I was so impressed with the Cento1, that I sold the R3 and purchased the Cento1 as quickly as possible.
After I had transitioned on to other bikes, I always missed the perfection of the original Cento1. So, when I went to build up a new road bike this year, I was excited to try out the Cento1 SR. The SR delivered the same performance of the Cento1, but with a stiffer bottom bracket and head tube. The rear end of the SR is not quite as compliant as the original Cento1, but running wider rims and lower tire pressure more than makes up the difference.
As built in the photo below with a 6800 group and Reynolds Assaults, the total weight of my SR comes right in at 16lbs with pedals and cage.
I would suggest the SR for any rider that is looking for a high performance race bike, or a rider who enjoys all the benefits of a fast race bike, without any negative effects. If you are looking for a super plush ride, the Wilier Zero.9 may be a good choice. The SR and Zero.9 use the same carbon and are the same price level, but the Zero.9 uses more traditional round tubes and a seat post, with a bit more give in rear end for vertical compliance.
Please hit me up if you have any questions. firstname.lastname@example.com
Regarding the weight. It states that the frame and fork are 1450gr, but actual weight states 1900gr. That's almost 1/2 kilo discrepancy (1.1lbs) . Is this correct?
Thanks for the question about the Cento1 SR. The frame and fork weights are from the manufacturer. Many of these companies take the lightest, unpainted, frame without any parts and weigh it before paint and claim that weight. Frame and fork weights are just reported from Wilier.
The ACTUAL weights are what we weighed with everything included when we shoot the photo- Bottom bracket, headset, mast topper, and anything else. They will vary a bit but 1.1 lbs is a bit surprising to me too.
If you are interested in building a bike up, let me know and I'll get you a quote with our best pricing or answer any other questions you might have.

this bike sneaks into my favorites list
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
A fully race-able bike that give you comfort for the longer hauls. I almost always forget this frame when I'm noting my top frames so I wanted to write a review hoping people will see it and put in in consideration with the F8, Empire, Bianchi, Cervelo and the likes. I was able to first ride the Cento1 when it first arrived in the US and wanted one right away. I will put the performance up with about any bike made, and will cost you considerably less. They led the way with aerodynamic frames and now it's all the rage, seems Wilier is always a step ahead. All this and I'm still happy climbing on it. I will say that if racing is your top priority I would go for the Zero.7, it's the little more aggressive edge you would be more happy with. If you have questions on the ride, sizing, anything on the Cento1 contact me directly at email@example.com
UHC Cento1 SR
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This bike is a rocket. So fast, but still comfortable for the distance. I was hesitant due to the ISP but I accredit it for some of the long distance comfort. The BB shell on this thing is massive and along with the asymmetric chain stays you end up with crazy power transfer. I think the Ferrari comparison is rather apt, especially if you're a fan of top gear- This bike demands to be ridden and is extremely responsive- it's not twitchy but you'll definitely want to pay attention when you're at speed. Plus when you pull up at a stop light everyone in the group ride gets a little jealous. I also love that you don't see this bike very often. Definitely some pride in ownership
Sweet Ultra Machine
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I had CC build a C1SL for me after a lot of research. I was coming from long miles on a "gentleman's bike" (a 2004 Specialized Roubaix) and although I wanted a more race worthy ride I didn't want to be crippled riding it at distance. Most US designed race bikes just hurt after 70-80 miles. The result was spectacular. The Wilier is actually MORE comfortable than my Roubaix, and every gram an aggressive race machine. With the same wheels/tires, I consistently ride 10-12% faster for the same amount of power, and most of that is because of the stiff power transfer, as well as a more aero riding position that is simultaneously easier on my back and neck. After roughly 1.5 seasons and 5100 miles, I've put it through the crucible on two double centuries, several 250+ mile training days, 4,000 ft screaming descents, and my first ultra - a 410 mile, 29,000 ft confirmation of this bike's lineage that started in the Dolomites. It is that rare combination of stiff and supple, and looks damn sexy in the peloton to boot. Only two words of caution. Definitely get a pro fit before you start cutting on the integrated seat post, as another writer mentioned. And straight out of the box, get a better, stiffer derailleur hanger. The original installed on my bike was soft as butter, and it took almost 1,000 miles to figure out why the bike wouldn't hold a tune for more than a day or two and shifted poorly accordingly. CC was super helpful. I called them 3 or 4 times and asked a million questions as I agonized over dropping $5K on a new bike. They answered all my questions, and had a lot of other suggestions as well. The Wilier is the closest thing to a Ferrari on two wheels and two cranks. It never disappoints.
What hanger did you use? Mine has a stripped bolt.
Ride like Jens
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Yes, that Jens! This review is for a Cento 1 SL (not the SR), but the differences will be minimal. Shortly after I had CC build up my C1SL with Campy Chorus/Shamal wheels, I did get to ride with Jens (along with my son who is in the picture), and it was no trouble riding at his pace. OK, so it wasn't a race, just a Gran Fondo in TN; but this bike (I was upgrading from a Wilier Izoard w/Force) was an easy pedal for a metric century on the hills of southern TN with this 50 year old body. The major difference I've noticed is the stiffness of the BB, so much more of the power is transmitted with this bike than any other bike I've owned or ridden; especially when riding up the hills in TN or on the Hilly Hundred. But don't worry about the ride being harsh - it's a very comfortable ride for long distances. I've now ridden this bike over two thousand miles, and still haven't found anything I'd change. Can't recommend it enough. My only recommendation is to get a professional fit before cutting the integrated seat mast - I did the full Specialized Body Geometry fit and the results have been spectacular.
What an awesome ride.
This bike is significantly stiffer than the 2009 cento uno that I had. Being a heavy rider (220 lbs), climbing usually reveals where a frame will flex and this frame is stiff at the bottom bracket and across the top tube. There's very little twisting at the head tube and with every pedal stroke the bike simply drives forward. The ride is still smooth and comfortable and I can't wait for the next 2000 miles on it.

Sheets students attend ACSI Fine Arts Festival
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 2:28 p.m.
The high school art class of Sheets Memorial Christian School attended and entered into the Association of Christian Schools International Fine Arts Festival on March 8.
Each member of the class entered two pieces of art that they had created in class over the school year. The teacher, Mrs. Wilder, likes to allow her students to have a creative environment. They are given creative freedom in this class to do whatever they would like within the means of the class.
"My favorite thing to do is paint," said Capria McRorie, a senior.
"You can be creative in this class more than others," said senior Preston Sides.
Everyone in the class received a ribbon of some sorts. "Preston surprises me, he is one of the most creative students," Wilder said. Sides received best in show for one of his pieces. He said that he was happy that he won and was proud to have won such a prestigious award.
While at the festival the students observed many other works by students from across the state. They also took a few classes in which they were taught different techniques and skills.
"One of the hardest parts of teaching art is attempting to teach the students how to shade a piece," Wilder said. Shading is what gives the drawing dimension and brings the piece to life.
Art can portray many different things and can even be a testimony to some people. It can display pain, sorrow, happiness, eagerness, etc. The art students use all of their emotions in their works.

The five-time reigning Ivy League Princeton men's swimming team competed in a pair of relays and the 100 breast during Day 2 of the 2013 NCAA Championships, but it has its eyes on two big events during Saturday's concluding sessions.
Princeton opened Friday with the 200 medley relay and took 25th overall. The quartet of sophomore Michael Strand, freshman Byron Sanborn, freshman Teo D'Alessandro and sophomore Harrison Wagner went 1:28.13.
Sanborn came back in the 100 breast and finished 39th in 54.60. The result improved him by one spot over his seeding (40th), though Sanborn knows his biggest event is still to come.
The 800 free relay marked the NCAA Championships debut for both freshman Sandy Bole and sophomore Connor Maher. They joined D'Alessandro and Sanborn to finished in 6:29.89. There are still 24 relays that will compete during the night session, and it is highly improbable that the time will hold up for All-America honors.
All-America is the target for Saturday, starting with Sanborn in the 200 breast. He currently ranks 24th in the 200 breast in 1:55.58, and there are only three freshmen nationally who have faster times this season.
The final event of the prelim session will be the 400 free relay, where Princeton currently ranks 12th overall, though there are several powers behind the Tigers. Regardless of the final result, the all-underclassman relay will benefit greatly from the pressure-packed environment it will face in its final day of the season.

This past Thursday, I became aware of a very troubling bill being proposed in the state of Connecticut, which prompted me to write the post: Are "Mandatory Mental Health Assessments" for Children Coming to Connecticut? Upon reading it, a money manager in Connecticut who I have gotten to know over the years wrote me an email. I was so impressed by his passion and writing skills I asked him to compose a "Guest Post" for the site; something I rarely do. What follows are the impassioned words of a father, husband and concerned citizen. Enjoy.
Soon after my wife and I got married in 2008, a pregnancy prompted family members to ask us about our plans for educating our kids. The official response was one of uncertainty, but between the two of us we knew that we preferred homeschooling.
I suspect all parents have a line in the sand when it comes to public schools. The line gets crossed when the safety level, education quality, peer influences, or espoused morals and values of the local government school deteriorate to so base a level, that as parents you realize that sending your kids there would be tantamount to dereliction of duty, gross negligence, wholesale surrender, etc.
The line might be located in different places for different parents depending on their own values and the conviction with which their values are held, but all parents have a line. Both parents work? Can't afford private school? Not qualified for homeschooling? It doesn't matter, if the school down the road crossed the line you'd pull your kid out and you'd find a way to make it work. If you haven't pulled your kid out yet, it just mean that the local school hasn't crossed the line.
We live in CT and I am homeschooling my three boys because upon surveying the options, we decided to opt-out out of 10,000 "mandatory" things that get done to kids at government schools in exchange for a "free" education. Do it ourselves, we thought. If we threw a fraction of the money at lessons and tutors that other families throw at tuition, we'd have a fighting chance of doing an even better job than the private school alternative. And best of all, we would enjoy the liberty of doing it our way, watching our kids walk in the way of goodness and excellence, without being exasperated as we beat back all the menacing influences that foist themselves upon kids at government schools. In short, we would opt-out. Not for the sake of rebelling, but for the sake of still standing a chance at getting a taste of the pursuit of happiness that our present vestiges of liberty still permit.
No more. If CT gets their way, and Bill 374 becomes law, my family's private pursuit of happiness will be allowed only if it wins the approval or disapproval of the State's mental health inspection teams.
The justification of Bill 374 is innocent enough; pass this bill to allow the State to perform mental health evaluations on adolescents, so that the State can prevent another Sandy Hook tragedy by intervening in the lives of troubled adolescents before it's too late. In reality, this bill lays the groundwork for much more.
First, note that Bill 374 does not exempt home-schooled children; in fact, it singles them out and specifically requires them too to get periodic evaluations and inspections. Parental consent is not determined to be relevant.

Opposites attract
Source: PUBLIC WORKS
By Shelby O. Mitchell and Victoria K. Sicaras
In the midst of a weak public construction market and uncertainty about federal infrastructure spending, public agencies are still retaining architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms at a steady rate. In 2011, many of these partnerships may have been held together by our readers' sheer determination to get the job done — resorting to more outsourcing and unconventional project delivery methods.
In PUBLIC WORKS' exclusive annual reader survey, 86% of respondents told us their departments worked with AEC firms in 2011 — only one percent less than in 2010. Of these, 61% completed 10 or fewer projects with the help of firms, down from 64% the previous year. These changes make sense, in light of the 2011 public construction spending trend, which was down 2.6% — about $1.3 billion — from 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Nearly 60% of public works departments represented in our survey spent less than $500,000 on AEC services in 2011, while only a quarter spent more than $1 million. A third are optimistic about their budgets and expect to spend more in the coming year; only 20% say they expect to spend less. The rest anticipate their spending will stay the same (35%), or aren't sure what the future holds (19%).
Readers are retaining firms to cover specific gaps — "[We need help securing] environmental permits for repair of existing systems. Too many permits! Too many agencies!" — as well as broad needs — "We don't have the ability to do any AEC work in-house; it's all done by outside firms."
The outsourcing trend seems to be growing as public-sector downsizing creates leaner staffs across the country. President Obama made headlines this summer with his remark that "the private sector is doing fine," in terms of employment. Many news outlets failed to emphasize the rest of his message, which was essentially, "compared to the public sector." While private employment has begun to pick up — 1.6 million jobs were added in 2011 — public-sector losses continue.
In 2011, around 66,000 state government jobs and 90,000 local government jobs were cut, excluding education (a drop of about 2.4% and 1.2% in employment, respectively). According to one outplacement firm, Challenger, Gray & Christmas , more jobs were lost in the government sector than any other industry in 2011 — accounting for nearly a third of the year's layoffs. And those are just a fraction of the 600,000 jobs the public sector has lost since the beginning of 2009.
This prolonged trend may explain the frustrations some of you feel about having to rely on outside resources. One respondent vents, "[I'm] tired of training idiots who make more than public-sector engineers, have contracts with guaranteed 5% salary increases, get paid higher mileage rates, and sit in offices with phones and computers supplied by the state. As long as consulting firms keep contributing to politicians, they will continue to get more work at a greater and greater cost to taxpayers."
In a recent report, Infrastructure 2012: Spotlight on Leadership, the Urban Land Institute and Ernst & Young LLP discuss creative ways in which state, county, and local agencies are planning to repair and expand infrastructure. According to the authors, public-private partnerships have become an important tool that "can help realize development and operating efficiencies, achieve proper risk transfers that protect taxpayers, and enable more cost-effective financing for new projects."
The report estimates that half of U.S. states have used public-private partnerships over the past decade to complete nearly 100 transportation projects — accounting for about $54 billion in construction spending. However, 65% of these projects took place in only eight states, and 26 states have yet to attempt such partnerships.
In Omaha, Neb., several city departments — including Planning, the Mayor's Office, Parks, Recreation and Public Property — have used public-private partnerships to complete projects. "Our department has done projects with quasi-public entities, such as joint contracting with our Public Utility Board," says Heather Tippey Pierce, general services manager for the Omaha Public Works Department, "but we have pretty strict rules requiring the design-bid-build model with city funding."
The commercial/institutional industry remained busy in the first quarter, but could...

La Monnaie ¦ Recitals ¦ Julia Lezhneva & Il Giardino Armonico ¦ Intro
Julia Lezhneva & Il Giardino Armonico
With a wide repertoire spanning baroque and belcanto as well as romantic and contemporary music, the young Russian soprano Julia Lezhneva astounds us with her voice and its extraordinary purity, depth, range and virtuosity. We witnessed her talent in Les Huguenots last season, when she amazed the audience in the role of Urbain, for her scenic debut. For her debut performance at La Monnaie, Julia Lezhneva will be joined by the baroque ensemble Il Giardino Armonico and will sing songs of praise from the religious music repertoire. Whilst the baroque ensemble lets loose a tempest, madness and passion, the soloist invokes the many states of the heart and soul through the magnificent motets she sings: fighting spirit, entreaty and rejoicing with Handel, contemplation and jubilation with Mozart.

Go back to being a senior in High School and you are the #1 recruit in the country in whatever sport you want.

Go back to being a senior in High School and you are the #1 recruit in the country in whatever sport you want.
You are not allowed to go to ISU just to keep the answers different. Where do you go and why? (And what sport)
I'd be an RGIII style quarterback and I'd go to Alabama. My goal would be win four national championships before going pro. Yes I would stay four years just for the legend of it all.
Football, Auburn. So I can get paid.
DMACC, Boone campus. Go Bears.
Football and Miami, no contest!!! Why? It's the U, and I grew up watching them play with their cocky swagger and I loved it.
Central Connecticut State, because I can. Basketball.
Stanford - any sport. ...Actually, decathlon because I'd have a rock-hard body to go with my incredible mind and I would date Penelope Cruz.
USC Football. QB.
Sun, beach and hot women.
Also my dad and grandpa (alumni of USC) grew up a huge USC fan by living in SOCA for most of their lives.
I'd go to play football (QB) for Auburn so I could play for Chizik....oh wait.
Seriously though, Stanford is an amazing school and I would go there in a heart beat. Albert Bandura still teaches there and it would be awesome to listen to his lectures. I don't care what sport. I would be sold on Stanford the minute they called.
If I follow the instructions and "go back to being a senior in High School" then the answer is quite simple: whichever school offers the best coeds to accompany me on my visit.
Me as an 18 year-old: pootytang > winning NCs and going pro.
Football ... THE Ohio State University. Just so I could say it during NFL games.
Running back at Texas.
Austin is a great city with hot girls and chances of going pro if the starting running back at Texas is almost 100%!
I'd probably go play basketball at UNC.
Obviously, it's hard to know how I would react to that but I'm not a huge attention person and I think I would actually go somewhere like ISU where you aren't necessarily such a big deal. That doesn't make sense because it would be a huge deal but I would rather carve my own path sort of like RG3. Maybe somewhere like South FLorida or something like that. High school me probably would have done the Michigan thing. I would probably want to be a QB or linebacker.

Julianne Moore is mad for beavers. (You're all mature. No sniggering, please.) "I always tell my children"—son Caleb is 14, and daughter Liv turns 10 in April—"that my favorite animal is the beaver, because it's so industrious," the actress says. Then she adds, laughing, "And when they grow up, they'll be, 'Can you believe she said that all the time?' "
But Moore is serious. "Beavers don't seem that industrious when you look at them," she continues, "but they make those dams, little by little." She doesn't just admire the toothy rodents; she identifies with them. "I am diligent," she says. "That's one of my qualities: diligence. Not very glamorous, but true."
Her hard work (she has acted in nearly 50 movies, including Boogie Nights, Far from Heaven, The Kids Are All Rightand last summer's Crazy, Stupid, Love), combined with Streep-like subtlety, has led to four Oscar nominations and a reputation as an actress who fully inhabits her characters. And her stature will only be enhanced by Game Change, the made-for-HBO movie about Sarah Palin's vice-presidential run, debuting March 10.

President-elect Obama, now that he has picked Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to stay on, is more likely to look at high-end weapon systems for savings rather than a quick reduction in operating funds. This means the U.S. Air Force and Navy will get a very close look, possibly along the lines of the Clinton-era bottom-up review in 1993. This dynamic does not make for a favorable budget environment.
At no time in my professional life to date, including the difficult period of Tail Hook, have I seen the Navy seem so powerless. Army and Air Force folks with whom I work on a daily basis cannot understand how the rules of engagement and maritime law have come to a point where the Navy seems restricted to the role of a passive observer.
As we sit still, the Indian Navy and German helicopters, or even extremist Islamic entities, take matters into their own hands and gather the public-relations laurels. One imagines our leadership sitting in the Pentagon wringing their hands in frustration—"But what can we do, our hands are tied!"
By whom ? By the judge advocate generals ? Do we have a fear of failure at work here ? If so, that sentiment runs counter to the deepest traditions of the Navy. Does anyone remember the spirit of Admiral David G. Farragut's famous 1864 exhortation, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" ?
A mere eight and a half years ago, dynamic leadership was overseeing daily routine boardings and takedowns of Iraq sanctions violators in the Persian Gulf. I witnessed these dangerous operations firsthand, under the firm hand of a real seadog: then-Captain Mike Lefever. Believe me, the environment was very uncertain. SEALs and others, conducting boardings of the most difficult targets in many cases, had no idea of whether or not there would be resistance.
Perhaps the cover of a UN sanctions regime was all that was needed. But my own reading of maritime law—which we were required to study before deploying to the Gulf—was that piracy was one of those areas in which the Navy had a substantial degree of freedom of action. And it still does.
We should have seen this coming when the Royal Navy was similarly embarrassed by the Iranians in March 2007, and we should have adjusted accordingly. This negative publicity could not have come at a worse moment. The counterinsurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan have drained U.S. Navy resources, while at the same time highlighting the limits of sea power.
And sea power remains a fundamental component of the U.S. national and military defense strategies. But our Navy may become fatally weakened if we cannot excel in the area in which we have the most to lose: at sea. The U.S. Navy was reborn in 1794 in response to piracy—highhanded actions by the Barbary Pirates and the buccaneering French Republic. It would be a shame and a paradox of history that our lack of response to piracy prefigured our Navy's decline.
There seems to be a fundamental lack of awareness about the seriousness of the perception problem. Sometimes Navy leaders see the world through a porthole - that is, through their own institutional lens. Our leaders need to contact their service colleagues and look at the situation from their perspective. They need to understand that arguments that make sense within a narrow institution often look silly to those outside "the culture." If we are damned if we don't and damned if we do, I for one prefer that we be damned if we do.

TWENTY drivers have been fined today for trying to jump traffic queues on the Botley Road by using the Seacourt park and ride lane.
Pc Glenn MacRae and Pc Steve Higa were out for an hour and a half stopping and fining motorists £30.
To avoid the queues heading into the city, some drivers use the park and ride lane into Seacourt, spin around roundabout and then rejoin the Botley Road traffic.
Pc Higa said: "Excuses included 'I'm doing it to ease the traffic' and 'I've gone to pick my daughter up at the bus stop, but she's not there'.
"We could have given more out if we'd had the resources."

Laura Williams
Held Wednesday evening
Laura Williams, daughter of Kerry and Jana Williams, Brewster, MN, was crowned Miss Fulda on Wednesday evening during the Miss Fulda Pageant that was held at Fulda High School.
Williams graduated from Fulda High School in May.
Five contestants participated in this year's Miss Fulda Pageant. They were Kelsey Heppler, daughter of Steffany Heppler; Micaela Paulzine, daughter of Paulette and Kelsey McNab and Michael Paulzine; Jade Ternus, daughter of Melissa Lancaster and Travis Ternus, Williams, and Kelsey Zins, daughter of Roger and Karyn Zins. This year's contestants were escorted by their mentors. Each contestant wrote a short speech as to why they had chosen that particular person as their mentor. Heppler's mentor was her grandmother, Virginia Anderson. Paulzine's mentor was her mother Paulette McNab. Ternus' mentor was Kathy Steiner, who is a very special person in Ternus' life. Williams' mentor was Sharon Carroll, her BPA advisor; and Kelsey Zins' mentor was her mother, Karyn Zins.
Contestants were judged on a personal interview, poise, a talent, a table display depicting their life, their answer about what one item on their table means the most to them and why, and the question "What is the most difficult issue facing young people today?"
Talents displayed by the contestants included a flute solo by Kelsey Heppler, dances by Jade Ternus and Micaela Paulzine, a piano solo by Kelsey Zins and painting by Laura Williams.
2012 Miss Fulda, Madeline Westra, said farewell to her reign of Miss Fulda and tearfully expressed thanks to the residents of Fulda for making it the great city that it is.
While Westra made her farewell speech, the judges tabulated their score sheets.
Judging this year's Miss Fulda Pageant was Todd Lee, Fulda, MN, and Stacy Smith, Jennifer Smith, Sue Johnson, and Ben Ahlquist, all of Worthington, MN.
This year's Miss Fulda was crowned by Westra.
Williams' royal court includes Little Miss Fulda Isabel Runkle, daughter of Scott and Becky Runkle, (she was escorted by Maddie Kaufman); Little Miss Princess Gracie Warborg, daughter of Travis and Stacy Warborg, (escorted by Shaylee McNab); and Fulda Princesses Kelsey Heppler and Micaela Paulzine.
Miss Fulda receives a $500.00 scholarship while the two princesses each receive $250 scholarships. They will participate in a variety of area city celebrations to represent the City of Fulda.
Sponsors of this year's Miss Fulda Pageant were the Fulda Community Club, First National Bank-Fulda, Maynards, Ramerth Hardware, Studio Z, Fulda Area Credit Union, Mane Attraction, Shear Reflections (formerly Neat Top Beauty Salon), Fulda Free Press, re-Jenerate, Fulda Chiropractic Clinic, Vitality Fitness, Antonio's, and Thirty One (Jasmine Lund).

After an unsuccessful day one in which all five singles players lost, the doubles pair of freshmen Julyette Steur and Ashley Tiefel fell 8-3 to Washington's Julija Lukac/Samantha Smith in the Invitational Bracket Round of 16. It was only the second match this spring that Steur/Tiefel had played together. The CU freshmen also lost back on April 21.
In the Pac-12 Championship Round of 16 Bracket, CU sophomores Winde Janssens and Kristina Schleich lost to No. 4 seed Courtney Dolehide and Pamela Montez of UCLA, 8-1. The UCLA tandem is ninth nationally in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) poll.
Janssens and Schleich also played for only the second time together (April 21), the regular season finale against Utah. The Utes swept all three doubles matches.
Thursday's play was plagued with two rain delays with Schleich losing to No. 83 nationally ranked Annie Goransson of California, 6-0, 6-1; Janssens fell to No. 5 seed and No. 14 ranked Zsofia Susanyi of Cal, 6-4, 6-2; and USC's No. 7 seed and No. 17 Danielle Lao defeated Steur, 6-2, 7-5.
Playing in the invitational singles, sophomore Carla Manzi Tenorio fell to Natasha Smith of Utah, 6-1, 3-6, 6-2; and Tiefel lost to Arizona State's Joanna Smith, 6-1, 6-1. Both singles brackets are single elimination.
CU concludes the tennis season at 7-14 overall and 0-10 in conference play.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lorie The best olive oil out there we have been using terra delyssa oil for years now and we were very happy to see it at the world market. we make everything with olive oil in our home, salads, breads, sauces, BBQ .... Terra Delyssa has a very fresh mild flavor that does not overpower any of the other ingredients I use. It has a dark glass bottle that is best to preserve the oil. i have tried numerous other oils and this is definitely our favorite + their bottle is GORGEOUS it looks great on our counter.

This Rock and Roll Night School, the first of a multi-part series, will provide an overview of the exhibit and introduce key issues concerning the history of women in rock and roll: What roles have women played in the music industry, and how have these roles changed throughout the history of rock and roll? How have women artists pushed the boundaries of what was considered an "acceptable" musical sound in their performances? How do the lyrics of rock and roll frequently objectify women, or conversely allow for a space to exercise a new voice and political action? How do women choose to visually represent themselves through fashion and image? And finally, how does the way that rock and roll history is typically told shape our understanding of women's contributions throughout the twentieth century? Throughout the series of classes, we will watch and listen to key performances and contextualize the music in the cultural, political and social changes of the times.

Although many women performers came to prominence in the 1950s, women are not typically remembered as the instigators of rock and roll's "big bang." While women performers like Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey were some of the most successful recording artists in the era before rock and roll, the early days of rock and roll are typically characterized by the rebellious exploits of male artists like Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. This class will explore the many women who were crucial to the rise of rock and roll including Ruth Brown, LaVern Baker, Wanda Jackson, Janis Martin, The Chantels, Etta James, and Big Mama Thornton – and consider how their musical sounds and performances contributed to the formation of rock and roll.

In the 1960s, the music and performances of women rockers paralleled the diverse and changing world around them. This Rock and Roll Night School will examine women musicians' shifting roles within the music industry throughout 1960s America. From the behind the scenes songwriting and polished performances of the girl groups early in the decade to the personal and authoritative sound of the singer-songwriters and counterculture rockers by the end of the sixties, artists like Carole King, Cynthia Weil, Ellie Greenwich, The Ronettes, The Supremes, The Crystals, The Shangri-Las, Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, and Joni Mitchell sought out new musical possibilities in the world of rock and roll and claimed it as their own. This class will consider sound, lyrics, and performances as evidence of the changing social and cultural standards for women in this dynamic time period.

BENEFITS, FINANCIAL AID, GRANTS & SCHOLARSHIPS: Federal Aid
Federal Aid Programs for Veterans
There are a variety of federal aid programs for veterans. The programs with eligibility and payments are listed by The Department of Veterans Affairs. Their primary educational assistance programs are as follows:
Post 9/11 G.I. Bill (Chapter 33)
Montgomery G.I. Bill- Active Duty (Chapter 30)
Montgomery G.I. Bill- Selected Reserve (Chapter 1606)
Reserve Educational Assistance Program (Chapter 1607) (REAP)
Work Study Programs
Vocational Rehabilitation (Chapter 31)
Veterans Tutorial Benefits
Survivors' and Dependants' Educational Assistance Programs
Post 9/11 G.I. Bill (Chapter 33)
The Post 9/11 G.I. Bill is for individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate military service on or after September 11, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. You must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible for the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill. The Post 9/11 G.I. Bill will become effective August 1, 2009. This program will pay eligible individuals:
- Tuition and fees directly to the school
- A monthly housing allowance based on the Basic Allowance for Housing for an E-5 with dependents at the location of the school. The Basic Housing Allowance for Hunter College students is $2744. Eligible veterans who will receive benefits at less than a 100% rate only a percentage of this amount
- An annual books & supplies stipend of up to $1000 paid proportionately based on enrollment
- a one-time rural benefit payment for eligible individuals
This benefit is payable only for training at an Institution of Higher Learning (IHL). If you are enrolled exclusively in online training you will not receive the housing allowance. If you are on active duty you will not receive the housing allowance or books & supplies stipend. This benefit provides up to 36 months of education benefits. Generally, benefits are payable for 15 years following your release from active duty.
Your months of entitlement under the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill will be equal to the number of months of entitlement you have remaining under the MGIB-AD (Chapter 30/Montgomery G.I. Bill). However, if you use or have already used all of your MGIB-AD benefits, you may be entitled to a maximum of 12 additional months of benefits under the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill (giving you a total of 48 months of education benefits).
If you are a veteran and you are unsure whether you are eligible for benefits or your percentage of eligibility under Chapter 33, or you would like to determine how many months of eligibility you have remaining, call 1-888-GIBILL1. Hunter College cannot provide this information. If you wish to receive Chapter 33 benefits and have not yet applied, you may complete the application at http://www.vba.va.gov/pubs/forms/22-1990(5-09).pdf and send it directly to the VA.
All veterans and eligible dependents wishing to receive benefits also need to have provided a copy of their DD-214 or letter of eligibility to the appropriate Veterans Certifying Offical at Hunter:
Alex Rosero, (212) 772-4923, 1119 East
Veterans and eligible dependents must also inform the Certifying Official each semester when they wish to receive benefits so they can be certified with the VA.
Montgomery G.I. Bill- Active Duty (Chapter 30)
Active Duty Veterans who have not used any of their Montgomery GI Bill- Active Duty Educational Assistance (Chapter 30) benefits, will need an original or certified copy of their Member 4 of their DD Form 214 to send to the VA.
Application Procedure: Application forms are available at all VA offices, Veterans' Services on campus, room 417 West Building, 1119 East Building, active duty stations and American embassies, as well as online.
GI Bill Educational Training – Persons who served over 180 days between January 31, 1955 and December 31, 1976, and:
- Continue on active duty
- Were released under conditions other than dishonorable, or
- Who qualify because of service-connected disabilities are eligible for benefits.
Veterans are entitled to benefits for full-time study at an approved post secondary institution for 1½ months for each month of active service, up to 45 months. Eligible veterans who served 18 continuous months are entitled to benefits for 45 months of full-time study. In each case, the equivalent in part-time study may be authorized. Monthly Verification – Veterans receiving benefits under Chapter 30 or Chapter 1606 must verify their enrollment each month to the VA in order to receive payment for that month. This monthly verification can be done in either of these ways:
- The telephone system, using Interactive Voice Response (IVR), by dialing 1-877-823-2378 and following the instructions provided, or
- Online through the VA website Web Automated Veteran's Enrollment WAVE, (Web Automated Verification of Enrollment), by logging on and following instructions.
Once either system confirms that you are certified for the month, you can expect payment within 10-14 days for checks, or 3-5 days for direct deposit. Veterans and reservists must still notify our College certifying official, when their enrollment changes, even though the change has been reported to the VA on WAVE. Current rate charts are available.
Montgomery G.I. Bill- Selected Reserve (Chapter 1606)
The GI Bill equivalent program for reservists is Chapter 1606 of title 10, U.S.C., Educational Assistance for Members of the Selected Reserve, referred to as the Montgomery G.I. Bill – Selected Reserve. Since July 1, 1985, DVA has held benefit payment responsibility, although the funding of educational assistance payments under this program is provided by the Department of Defense.
Monthly Verification – Veterans receiving benefits under Chapter 30 or Chapter 1606 must verify their enrollment each month to the VA in order to receive payment for that month. This monthly verification can be done by one of two systems:
- THE telephone system using Interactive Voice Response (IVR), by dialing 1-877-823-2378 and following the instructions provided, or
- Online through the VA website's Web Automated Veteran's Enrollment WAVE, (Web Automated Verification of Enrollment), by logging on and following instructions.
Once either system confirms that you are certified for the month, you can expect payment within 10-14 days for checks, or 3-5 days for direct deposit. Veterans and reservists must still notify our College's certifying official, when their enrollment changes, even though the change has been reported to the VA on WAVE. Current rate charts are available.
Reserve Educational Assistance Program (Chapter 1607) (REAP)
REAP was established as a part of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005. It is a new Department of Defense education benefit program designed to provide educational assistance to members of the Reserve components called or ordered to active duty in response to a war or national emergency (contingency operation) as declared by the President or Congress. This new program makes certain individuals who were activated after September 11, 2001 either eligible for education benefits or eligible for increased benefits.
Work Study Programs

Veterans Tutorial Benefits
To be eligible for tutorial benefits, veterans must be receiving monthly benefits on at least a half-time basis. A veteran is entitled to 12 months of tutorial benefits to a maximum of $100.00 per month.
Survivors' and Dependants' Educational Assistance Programs
Please visit the G.I. Bill web site at: www.gibill.VA.gov.
Dependents' Educational Assistance provides education and training opportunities to eligible dependents of certain veterans. The program offers up to 45 months of education benefits. These benefits may be used for degree and certificate programs, apprenticeship, and on-the-job training. If you are a spouse, you may take a correspondence course. Remedial, deficiency, and refresher courses may be approved under certain circumstances.
You must be the son, daughter, or spouse of:

- A veteran who died from any cause while such service-connected disability was in existence.
- A service-member missing in action or captured in line of duty by a hostile force.
A service-member forcibly detained or interned in line of duty by a foreign government or power.
Period of Eligibility
If you are eligible under the above guidelines and wish to receive benefits for attending school or job training, you must be between the ages of 18 and 26. In certain instances, it is possible to begin before age 18 and to continue after age 26. Marriage is not a bar to this benefit. If you are in the Armed Forces, you may not receive this benefit while on active duty. To pursue training after military service, your discharge must not be under dishonorable conditions. VA can extend your period of eligibility by the number of months and days equal to the time spent on active duty. This extension cannot generally go beyond your 31st birthday, although there are some exceptions.
If you are a spouse, benefits end 10 years from the date VA finds you eligible or from the date of death of the veteran.
How to Apply
You should make sure that your selected program is approved for VA training. If you are not clear on this point, you may contact the VA or your campus certifying official for verification.
Obtain and complete VA Form 22-5490, Application for Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance. Send it to the VA regional office with jurisdiction over the State where you will train. If you are a son or daughter, under legal age, a parent or guardian must sign the application.
If you have started training, take your application to the Hunter College Certifying Official. Ask him/her to complete VA Form 22-1999, Enrollment Certification, and send both forms to VA.

Trips for Kids and Andrew Goodwillie update
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
For every like to the Primal Race
team on Facebook Primal will
donate $1 to Trips for Kids Denver!
How easy is that! DO IT NOW
With this weekend's PrimalPalooza cyclocross race benefiting the local Denver/Boulder chapter of Trips for Kids, we at 303 thought this would be a great opportunity to highlight the mission of this amazing organization. Trips for Kids' primary goal is to give under-served, urban youth the opportunity to experience and learn about the natural beauty of Colorado from the seat of a mountain bike. TFK partners with numerous youth agencies in the Denver and Boulder area, such as the Boys and Girls Clubs, Tennyson Center, Urban Peak, Girls, Inc., I Have a Dream, Denver Family Crises Center and many others to provide fun-filled, daylong mountain bike outings for small groups of children age 10 and up. The trips are led by experienced ride leaders who teach basic mountain biking skills and encourage the kids throughout the day. TDK is striving to give over 1,100 kids such an opportunity this year. In 2010, forty percent of TFK's participants were vulnerable adolescents is residential programs for abused, neglected or troubled youth. These rides really do make a difference in kids' lives:
"I usually give up when things get too hard, but this time I finished" commented one participant.
"I loved being in the mountains. That was the most rewarding things I've ever done!" was a quote from another happy rider.
TDK is comprised of a dedicated team of cyclists, educators and community leaders who believe they can make a difference in the lives of children by opening their minds to new possibilities and arming them with greater self-esteem. "We have taken three groups of youth up who some have never left the city limits, let alone mountain bike well on trails that are not lined by pavement. All of our participants have learned a great deal not only about how to mountain bike, but also about themselves and the environment," commented a TFK staff member.
Many of you may know that Andrew Goodwillie, the executive director of Trips for Kids Denver/Boulder, was seriously injured in a mountain bike crash 13 weeks ago. He suffered a serious brain injury and was in the hospital for five weeks. We are happy to report that Andrew is recovering well and has returned to work at Trips for Kids. Read Andrew's most recent update here
Again, if you'd like to support the wonderful work that Andrew is doing with Trips for Kids, come out and race PrimalPalooza this Sunday, November 6th.

Amanda Steinberg is the founder and CEO of DailyWorth, a media company that provides financial advice to nearly a million women. Before starting DailyWorth, Steinberg had at least four failed enterprises under her belt. When she was an undergraduate at Columbia and already working as a computer programmer, she saw the frenzy surrounding e-commerce and decided to join it by selling a Y2K survival kit online. Problem was, as an engineer, she didn't know how to market. Another of her ideas was to create an online chat room in which therapists could confidentially discuss cases. Though the concept was interesting, she couldn't attract advertisers or come up with a subscription fee that solo practitioners could afford. Each successive failure taught her something important: how to market; how to develop a revenue model; how to build an online product that would accommodate limitless subscribers. And all that learning was tested when she started DailyWorth and had to teach herself how to attract investors.
Most terrifying moment: "Raising my first real round of capital was excruciating. Here I was, a mom in Philly. I don't fit the whole Silicon Valley persona, even though I have this thriving business. After nine months of relentless capital raising, I was on the phone with a group of women who were going to commit a quarter of the funds, but they would not give me a date to close. I said, 'How about we close in six weeks?' and they told me I was too pushy, and they pulled out. At the time, my marriage was on the brink, my children were screaming in my bed in the middle of the night, and everything was based on my ability to close this round. I felt like a complete failure."
How she got through it: "I cried all night. I stayed up shaking. My fear was that the withdrawal was going to send a warning signal and make the rest of the investors nervous. Fortunately, that didn't happen."
What she learned: "It doesn't matter how desperate you are; your desperation does not translate into somebody else's urgency. Part of being an entrepreneur is that you get up the next day and shake it off. Now I give myself two hours to cry about any failure. Then it's back to work."

ZF-6650: The dispatcher doesn't throw exception of type Zend_Controller_Plugin_ErrorHandler::EXCEPTION_NO_CONTROLLER when : is used in the request URI
I have set up the the error controller with error_handler to act as 404 handler as per the instructions in the online reference manual. The 404 handler works but for one situation. If there is a ':' in the URI I don't get the exxception of type Zend_Controller_Plugin_ErrorHandler::EXCEPTION_NO_CONTROLLER or Zend_Controller_Plugin_ErrorHandler::EXCEPTION_NO_ACTION. Instead I get a Zend_View_Exception.
For example, I have the index controller and the index action in the default module. The page loads properly, when index/index/index is requested. However, when index: is requested, the Zend_View_Exception is thrown. The message in the exception is
'script 'index:/index.phtml' not found in path (../application/views/scripts/)'
Shouldn't I be getting an exception of type Zend_Controller_Plugin_ErrorHandler::EXCEPTION_NO_CONTROLLER?

Gardening Articles: Care :: Seeds & Propagation
Broccoli Know-How
by Charlie Nardozzi
If you thought broccoli was a once-a-year, one-shot affair, think again. Just about any gardener in the United States can harvest crops two, or even three times a year. How? In most areas, by sowing seed in July. For that third harvest of the year, gardeners in zones US Hardiness Zone 7b through 9a can sow certain varieties again in late summer for an overwintering crop. You'll find all the whys and wherefores later in the article, but you'll have to know first what zone you live in.
Timing Basics
Standard broccoli planting strategy calls for sowing seed in spring. Specifically, sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost and transplant into the garden 3 to 4 weeks later for an early summer harvest. While this schedule is fine in most regions, only gardeners in northern, short-season zones 3 to 4a are limited to it. These gardeners, in cities such as Bismarck, Minneapolis, and Montpelier, Vermont, should choose any of the standard southern European varieties from the list below.
Gardeners in zones 9b and 10 are similarly limited, but to the opposite season. Cool spring is too short, and summer is too hot in zones 9b and 10 for broccoli. In cities such as Houston, New Orleans, Phoenix, and Orlando, sow seed in fall for an early spring harvest. Choose any variety from the list below.
If you live in zones 4b to 6a: Although the cold temperatures and shorter days of fall come quickly in the North, you can harvest an early summer crop from a late spring planting; or harvest in September and October from an early summer (June or July) planting. For the latter, choose a variety that matures quickly and that has good frost tolerance, such as 'Green Valiant', in case there's an early frost.
Start seeds indoors or direct sow into the garden 10 to 12 weeks before the first expected frost in your area. If you buy transplants, plant them 6 to 8 weeks before the first frost. For best germination when direct seeding, sow seeds about 3/4 to 1 inch deep, keep the soil moist and shaded. Whether you start with seeds or transplants, planting in midsummer means heat is likely to stress young broccoli plants. Provide afternoon shade until harvest by erecting shade cloth, or grow broccoli plants in north-south rows on the east side of tall summer crops, such as pole beans and sweet corn.
If you live in zones 6b to 7a: Summer comes quicker in these regions, so gardeners here are better off forgoing the spring crop and planting only for a fall crop following the planting schedule outlined in the previous section.
To stagger the fall harvest, plant broccoli blends (such as George's Favorite Blend, which mixes three or four varieties together) or make your own blend by planting some early, midseason, and late-maturing varieties simultaneously. This way you can stretch your harvest season from October to perhaps January.
If you live in zones 7b to 9a: Gardeners in these zones can grow any of the standard broccolis for a fall harvest (again following the directions above) as well as the northern European overwintering varieties of broccoli. Transplanted in late summer these varieties grow slowly through the winter and head up in March to May.
NG test gardeners planted these overwintering broccolis last fall and several reported good results to temperatures as low as 10° F. And Tim Peters at Peters Seed and Research Company tells me that one variety, 'Spring Green Mix', is hardy to 0° F.
Most of these genetically distinct strains of broccoli look like familiar market broccoli, which originated in southern Europe. Others look more like cauliflower and some have purplish shoots.
These overwintering types need a cold period to head properly. That's why, in contrast to the standard varieties, these succeed only as overwintered crops in zones 7b to 9a.
Start overwintering broccolis early in summer and transplant them in August, so plants have time to grow by January. Plants that are either too small or too large at the onset of low temperatures will suffer. Also, don't overfertilize. Use one-half the recommended rate -- about 3/4 cup of 5-10-10 per plant -- at planting time and apply the other half the following spring.
