Labour force
According to the Statistics Canada's census data, the Slave Lake Region's employment rate1 for the working age population of 15 years and older was 64.7% in 2006 and the participation rate2 was 71.4%. By comparison, Alberta's employment and participation rates were 70.8% and 73.4%, respectively in 2006.
Between 2001 and 2006, the number of people employed in Alberta grew by 14.7% or by 239,800. Over the same period, employment in the Slave Lake region grew by an estimated 800 or 7.2%. In 2006, the Slave Lake Region made up 0.7% of Alberta's working age population (15+ years), and the region's increase in employment between 2001 and 2006 accounted for 0.3% of all new jobs created in Alberta over that period.
Note: Statistics Canada cautions the reader that the regional labour force data may be subject to large year-to-year fluctuations, especially for the smaller regions, Because of these data problems, Census data for 2001 and 2006 were used for all indicators for the smaller regions such as the Slave Lake Region and data for these indicators for the other years are not included.
According to the 2006 census, the level of educational attainment is lower for this region than for Alberta. For the working aged population of between 25 and 64 years, 27.1% had a post-secondary degree or diploma, compared with 48.1% for all of Alberta. However, the region does have a larger share holding a trades certificate: 15.6% in the region vs. 12.4% in Alberta. 35.0% of the region's working age population did not finish high school, higher than the Alberta average of 15.4%.
Employment Insurance Beneficiaries
In 2010, 570 people received regular Employment Insurance (EI) benefits3 in the Slave Lake region, a 12% decline from the 2009 total of 650 4. Over the same period, the number of EI recipients fell by 9% in Alberta. As a result, the region's share of Alberta EI recipients remained at 1.2%. The end of the recession is also reflected in current EI estimates. Between February 2010 and February 2011, the number of regular beneficiaries fell by an estimated 31% in the region.
The total number of income beneficiaries5 with both regular and special benefits, such as for sickness or parental leave, fell by 10% between 2009 and 2010 as most of the decrease in income beneficiaries was the result of the decrease in the number of regular beneficiaries, rather than in those receiving special benefits.
Note: although this measure provides a useful gauge of unemployment it is an imperfect measure, as it excludes self-employed workers and individuals who were unemployed for more than 12 months. At the Canadian level, the EI beneficiaries-to-unemployed ratio was fairly stable over time prior to the recession at between 40% and 45%. In Alberta, the ratio fell gradually during the economic boom years from more than 40% in 1996 to less than 25% in 2007 and the first nine months of 2008. The ratio climbed to more than 40% in 2009 and was 36% in 2010.
Employment by Industry
In 2006, according to Statistics Canada's census, the services-producing sector in the Slave Lake region accounted for about 62% of the total number employed. By comparison, the service sector accounted for 72% of Alberta's employment.
The Retail Trade industry had the largest number of individuals employed. The Slave Lake Region accounted for 0.6% of total Alberta employment, and for 0.7% of Alberta employment in this industry. This industry is followed by the Mining and Oil and Gas and Manufacturing sectors.
Between 2001 and 2006, the Retail Trade industry had the largest employment gain (up 4300). Mining and Oil and Gas industry had the second largest employment gain (up 350), because of rising oil sands output, and was also the region's second largest industry in 2006. Employment in the Agriculture and Forestry and Education industries fell sharply by almost 300 over the same period.
1 The employment rate measures the proportion of the adult population that is employed. Employment Rate = (Employed / Population 15+)*100. High labour utilization traditionally accompanies strong economic activity.
2 The participation rate measures the proportion of the adult population that is in the labour force. Participation Rate = (Labour Force / Population 15+)*100. High labour participation is an effective indicator of the level of engagement among the working age population and traditionally accompanies strong economic activity.
3 The number of beneficiaries receiving regular benefits excludes claimants receiving training, job creation and self-employment benefits as well as other employment and support measures benefits.
4 Some of this increase was the result of Canada's Economic Action Plan providing beneficiaries with five extra weeks of regular EI benefits in 2009 and 2010.
5 The number of beneficiaries receiving total income benefits includes both the beneficiaries receiving regular benefits and those receiving special benefits, such as for training, job creation, sickness, parental.

AES E-Library
Visualization, Editing and Spatialization of Sound Representations Using the OSE Framework
OpenSoundEdit is a sound-editing system that provides a unified three-dimensional user interface to edit complex sounds composed from different representations. Sounds are mapped onto a single three-dimensional space representing time, amplitude and a view-dependent third dimension (e.g., frequency, channel number, etc.). Sounds can be edited by direct manipulation on the 3-D display window or by using additional representation-specific controls. Users can also model the 3-D location and movement of sounds in a room. As the user edits sounds, changes can be heard through a synthesis server, an application that generates sound in response to technologies. The paper illustrates the features of OSE with examples of several sound representations.

Oklahoma State Assistant Coach, Zack Esposito, demonstrates perhaps the most reliable pinning combination from the near wrist in this segment. He will also provide you with tips on how to prevent your opponent from bridging.
He starts by prying down on the shoulder through a "preacher curl" motion on the arm. When a gap is created using this pry, he shoots the outside arm between the body and the arm, shoulder deep and sinks a deep half nelson control on the opponent's head – this is the snake/cement job/double trouble. Coach Esposito finishes the hold with a hip check to keep the man flat and turns him over to his back.

2010 ACA Calendar Highlights
- Spring time crits are back but not at Stazio (roads closed) so DBCEvents has moved them to Niwot running a figure 8 course.
- Koppenberg returns to spring Don't hold your breath, trying to run the Koppenberg in Springtime has been a huge challenge by the promotor in the past but very sweet if Mother Nature doesn't f it up.
- All the classics are back plus Memorial weekend racing. Boulder Roubaix, Lookout Mtn, City Park, North Boulder and Deer Trail are back but also the Morgul Bismark comes back on Memorial weekend... no more driving to Durango or Iowa for good Memorial weekend racing!
- Front Range Mountain Bike Series We don't have many details but it appears to be running once a month starting in April!! Finally, some Front Range MTB racing! Will this spark the return of MTB racing?
- 217 Days of a racing season Closing off the season season once again on September 11 is copper crit. That is 217 days from the Frostbite TT to this final race!

Ditto! Last time Boulder Roubaix was held I think DBCEvents took a $$ hit... yet everyone talks about how great it is... and it is great... so you can do more to support Roubaix then by just doing the race, support DBCEvents in the spring races series as well... or have your team volunteer at Roubaix!

Submitted by Kublai (not verified) on
Definitely fair and appropriate to throw major kudos at those who organize today's races. It's a major league pain in the a** to be a volunteer with a life and try to get permits, sponsors, prize lists, registration, etc. handled. In my over 30 years following/participating in racing I'd agree that the same willingness to "get 'er done" exists today as before. Hats off to the hard working women/men who give their time and energy. And thanks for the reminder.
That said, I still miss some of those old events. It may not be the fault of today's promoters that we can't have them anymore - stricter insurance & liabilty, population growth, lack of subsidized public services, etc. - but I wish we could. And just because we can't doesn't mean we shouldn't remember them and enjoy memories of the past. It might not mean much to a youngster (say, under 30) but digging up memories of the 1982 Cyclocross at Foothills and Araphoe with Andy Hampsten, Roy "The Boy" Knickman, Ron Kiefel and other national stars is just plain fun, especially over a cold beer.

Which Hurricanes tailback fits Dolphins best?
If you account for ALL the talent the Miami Hurricanes have participating in the NFL Combine it's troubling that UM didn't win more games, or finish better in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
But as I've pointed out for YEARS talent development was an issue under former head coach Randy Shannon, whose coaching staff didn't maximize all the recruits they brought in. But Sam Shields, Antonio Dixon and Javarris James' early NFL success serves as proof the new school Hurricanes have the potential to perform better in the NFL than they did in college.
Miami has two tailbacks -Damien Berry and Graig Cooper – that might turn into second or third day steals.
Berry, who needs to run a sub-4.7 40-time at the NFL combine, is an angry runner whose toughness fits the mold of the tailback the Dolphins like. He didn't fumble once during his college career, and has the vision to set up blockers.
Berry plays through tough injuries and has a special teams background that will make him a regular contributor for any team that drafts him.
Cooper, who once out-shined Eagles starting tailback LeSean McCoy during their prep school days together at Milford Academy, is the agile, quick-footed change-of-pace back the Dolphins need to hit home runs and serve as a returner (Kory Sheets also can fill that role). But Cooper still isn't fully recovered from ACL surgery he underwent before last season.
Cooper planned to enter last year's draft before suffering his injury in the 2010 bowl game against Wisconsin, but he fought back to play on a limited basis last season, and points out silencing his doubters is something that's high on his agenda.
So, if you had to pick one of these UM tailbacks to help your teams which one would you want?

Click here for videos explaining Math Strategies
The above link will connect you to a site which illustrates math strategies that are discussed in class so that you may gain a better understanding of the approaches we are using with addition and subtraction.
Math Investigations is the curriculum tool for mathematics instruction in NISD for Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. It offers students opportunities to explore meaningful problems in-depth to solve them creatively and collaboratively with their peers in order to construct personal meaning of mathematics concepts (problem solving and concept-based learning). This approach is very different from that of "more traditional" curriculum tools, which many adults experienced as children and focused on applying formulas, rules, performed procedures and algorithms (skill-based learning). Research shows that when students develop their own ways of solving problems they retain their understanding. When students work together with their peers to solve problems they evaluate approaches and justify their reasoning, leading to deeper understanding and mathematical fluency.
A Complete Solution to a Word Problem includes: an equation with correct operation (+,-) 2 strategies to model his/her thinking, a correct solution and a complete sentence that answers the question in the problem. Therefore, each problem is 4 points each.
WHY INVESTIGATIONS? This curriculum gives children different ways to express their thinking. After being given situations for problem-solving, students develop strategies for expressing mathematics, allowing ownership of understanding. Through working with peers, students justify and analyze solutions. As a result, they are able to understand important relationships between concepts.
WHY DOES THIS LOOK DIFFERENT FROM WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL? Through Investigations, children develop personal meaning of concepts and learn to reason mathematically. They are not taught to rely on set procedures, formulas and rules that may have no meaning to them. The same concepts are covered as those in traditional textbooks, only the approach is different. Research shows that students who construct math for themselves are going to gain fluency and remember what they have learned. They will also keep trying to make sense of problems.
The math workshop contains three parts:
Opening meeting - discuss goals/objectives of lesson; teach a mini-lesson; pose a problem for children to solve based on the mini-lesson
Work period - solve problem(s) from lesson independently or with a group; students continue to work on and develop strategies through a variety of ways (examples: math games, word problems, critical thinking projects)
Closing meeting - class regroups to discuss strategies used during workshop, share student work, discuss misunderstandings, make connections and reflect on their learning
WILL MY CHILD LEARN BASIC FACTS? Yes. With experience, each child will learn to remember facts by constructing sense of them. Our focus is on fluency rather than memorization, as it is a higher level thinking process.
For example: just knowing that 4+5=9 does not show fluency. However, if a child can verbalize: Since 4+4=8 and 5 is one more than 4, so 4+5 = 9, shows that they have a deeper number sense and fluency.
HOW DO ABSENCES AFFECT MY CHILD? When your child is absent, it is extremely difficult to make up work because mini-lessons and communication that take place during the math workshop are missed. Many lessons also relate in Investigations, therefore, when a child is absent he/she does not see connections being made, and as a result, has a harder time participating in class discussions. It is important to limit absences to a minimum so that your child may gain a complete understanding of concepts being explored in the classroom.

Janet Cooke Award: Don't Give Us Those Huddled Masses
America has prided itself on being a "nation of immigrants," but what happens when immigrants abuse America's freedom and commit crimes?
Criminal aliens are a growing problem: according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, they account for over 25 percent of federal prison inmates and represent the fastest growing segment of the federal prison population. Not only is the federal government spending almost half a billion dollars incarcerating criminal aliens. It is also spending hundreds of millions of dollars reimbursing alien-heavy states for the costs of illegal aliens in state prisons.
To help remedy the problem, Congress passed a law last year broadening the definition of "aggravated felony" as a reason for deportation to include nearly any drug offense, sexual abuse of minors, and other crimes, giving the Immigration and Naturalization Service new power to apprehend and deport criminal aliens. For airing two stories that resembled ads against government efforts to deport criminal aliens, ABC's World News Tonight earned the Janet Cooke Award.
On July 20, ABC's Anderson Cooper focused on deported Salvadoran gang members with names like Little Mousie and Sloppy, suggesting a Blame America First approach to crime problems in El Salvador: "San Salvador today seems a lot like Los Angeles. You cruise through streets of fast food, fancy cars, and radios blasting the oldies. Everywhere you look, American culture stares back. But by deporting what Salvadoran officials say are at least 3,000 gang members to the country of their birth, the U.S. has also been exporting a darker side of its culture. The deportees, most of whom grew up in Los Angeles, return to a country they barely know. The gang life they learned in the U.S. is the one thing that gives them some status."
Cooper continued: "Sloppy was 12 when he joined L.A.'s 18th Street Gang. Upon returning to El Salvador, he formed a new gang clique with Nasty, a deported drug dealer. Together, they recruited a half-dozen young Salvadorans eager to join something hard-core, something American."
Cooper concluded: "The gangs just keep on growing. Some kids do get out. Rosa was shot and paralyzed by a rival gang member. Her gang then abandoned her. The deportees, she says, bring nothing but disgrace. 'They come here,' she says, 'and recruit and tell us the rules from L.A., but in the end, we are the ones who suffer.' But for every one who leaves a gang, there are two or three to take their place. A whole generation in El Salvador has come of age enamored with those deported from the U.S., enamored with this violent side of American culture."
Jack Martin, special projects director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), told MediaWatch that Cooper "ignores that the persons in question are not persons that the United States sought out to come to this country. In fact virtually all of them entered alone or with their parents as illegal aliens. While it is surely true that they should have been deported back to El Salvador long ago, perhaps before they became so adept at criminal activity and gang conflict, the fact that they turned to crime in the United States can in no way be accepted by the United States as its fault."
Martin also questioned if violence is the result of "American culture" or El Salvador's civil war: "The segment might have pointed out that the civil strife in El Salvador that some of the deportees were exposed to as children often involved children as combatants. The fact is that the proliferation of gangs in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the United States in recent years is related to the heavy influx of immigrants, primarily but not entirely illegal entrants."
The very next night, ABC's Peter Jennings announced: "Congress passed a series of bills which permitted authorities to deport immigrants, including legal immigrants, who have been convicted of a crime. The laws are very sweeping, and it turns out, very unforgiving." Antonio Mora found the most sympathetic of subjects: "In most ways, Charlie Jaramillo is the ideal immigrant. His parents brought him legally to America from Colombia when he was just a baby. In the 32 years since, he married an American, who is a deaconess at the local church, had two children, and became a successful and respected contractor in West Chester, Pennsylvania. But there is a blemish: eight years ago he was convicted of selling $40 worth of cocaine. He says it was a one-time thing."
Mora elaborated: "After completing five years probation, Jaramillo thought he'd paid his debt to society. But then a few months ago, he decided to become an American citizen. He applied here at the INS office in Philadelphia, admitting he had been convicted of a crime. When he returned for his citizenship test, federal agents were waiting...They handcuffed him and told him the government was deporting him to Colombia, a country whose language he barely speaks."
Despite a lobbying campaign on Jaramillo's behalf, Mora reported: "The outcry over illegal immigration has led to tough laws against all non-citizens, allowing authorities to deport even legal aliens, like Jaramillo, if they've committed one of a wide range of crimes."
Mora allowed a sentence from Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-Calif.): "This legislation is to say that we have enough criminals in this country without having to import them." Mora added: "Attorney General Janet Reno is applying the laws strictly, booting out permanent residents for crimes committed years ago."
Mora ended: "In a case similar to Jaramillo's, a federal judge granted two immigrants the right to appeal, calling Reno's position an 'arbitrary abuse of power' that could lead to 'cruelty' to immigrant families. Experts believe the issue will not be resolved until it reaches the Supreme Court, but for the Jaramillos and thousands of other immigrants, that might be too late."
Martin told MediaWatch: "Congress has decided that aliens who are drug pushers, if they were convicted of crimes serious enough to be sentenced to at least one year in prison, are not welcome and should be deported. Prior to last year's reforms, the standard for citizenship ineligibility was whether the alien had committed a 'crime of moral turpitude.' Selling cocaine was such a crime. So, regardless of the change in the law, the alien in this case became deportable at that time. The fact that the INS didn't fulfill its responsibility earlier is hardly a reason they shouldn't do so now."
In both stories, ABC reporters were too busy explaining the dark side of American culture and jurisprudence to explore the costs (both financial and social) criminal aliens impose on American society, or the bad name criminal aliens give to those immigrants who come to America asking for nothing more than the chance to breathe free and make their own way.

Firefighters tackle north Suffolk field blaze
08:58 19 August 2012
FIREFIGHTERS from Wrentham and Southwold spent more than 25 minutes tackling a field that was ablaze in Uggeshall.
Two crews were sent out at 6.05pm last night (Saturday) to Clay Common Lane in Uggeshall. On arrival they discovered an "area of stubble measuring 8m by 10m" of the field that was ablaze.
Firefighters quickly tackled the flames and the scene was cleared just after 6.30pm, with both crews back at their base by 6.55pm.

Dry Eye
Get the informed care — & relief — you need.
Your vision and the health of your eyes depend on a healthy ocular (eye) surface. In turn, a healthy ocular surface depends on sufficient moisture and lubrication. Unfortunately, many people have chronically insufficient moisture and lubrication, a condition most know as "dry eye."
What is "dry eye"?
Dry eye is characterized by dryness, irritation, burning, itchiness, stickiness and feeling like there is a foreign body in your eye. These symptoms — among the most common complaints in eyecare — can damage your eyes, be a constant source of discomfort and diminish your quality of life. Dry eye also makes you more sensitive to your environment. For example, wind, poor air quality, low humidity, air conditioning and heating can cause discomfort... and impair your ability to see.
What causes dry eye?
This condition can have many causes. Primarily, lack of sufficient moisture and lubrication will be the result of either not enough tears, poor-quality tears or poor distribution of tears over the ocular surface. These can be caused by disease, medications, infection, age, injury to the tear-producing glands, autoimmune disorders, allergies, problems of the facial nerves and more.
Determining the nature of your dry eyes.
At Precision EyeCare Centers, our optometrists use leading-edge and traditional methods to determine why you're experiencing dry-eye symptoms. We examine the ocular surface for dry spots and damage to identify problem areas. We also measure the quantity and quality of tears and evaluate eyelid position and function for problems with tear distribution.
We help you get the relief you need.
Most people can get welcome relief with artificial tears, which supplement tear volume. Others are helped by tear lubricants, which enhance the quality of your tears. We may also prescribe a medication to help your body produce more tears. Or you may be a candidate for punctal plugs, which keep tears in the eye for longer durations.
Don't suffer with dry eye. And don't let this chronic condition damage your eyesight. Get an accurate diagnosis and the advanced, experienced care you need. Call Precision EyeCare Centers today at 618-662-8468 (Flora, IL) or 618-842-6516 (Fairfield, IL). Or you can use our online Request an Appointment form.

The central tree-lined promenade is dotted with Art Deco and Art Nouveau buildings which are typical of the colonial period, such as the façade of the National Theatre, St-Vincent-de-Paul Cathedral and the former Résidence Générale. There are also plenty of cafés here, which are popular meeting places for locals and which provide the ideal backdrop in which to sit and soak up the atmosphere of this busy avenue.

leverage If you combine several accounts with smaller
balances into one or two heftier accounts, you'll gain leverage, says Parker.
"You can demand more time (from your financial planning expert) and a higher
level of competency." In fact, many larger investment planning firms serve
customers whose accounts are less than $100,000 through the Internet or an 800
number, he adds.
savings Many financial planners earn their keep by charging
a percentage of the value of your accounts. As your account balance goes up, the
percent you pay to manage your money typically goes down, so several small accounts
may well cost you more than fewer, but larger, accounts.
to consolidation Consolidating your accounts shouldn't take
inordinate amounts of time or money. To start, decide which account(s) you'll
keep, then inform the financial professional you want to work with that you'll
be consolidating your accounts. Many firms, although not all, will help you complete
the paperwork necessary to close the other accounts. Their motivation, of course,
is to get more of your money under their management.
On the
other hand, the companies you're leaving may charge fees to close your accounts.
These can hit $100 or even more, says Parker. Keep tabs on the charges. It's possible
that the firm you'll be retaining will agree to pick them up, if you ask. (Even
if they won't, you'll still be eliminating the ongoing fees from the accounts
you close.)
If you're leaving an employer and have a 401(k),
you'll have the choice of moving the funds to a new 401(k) at your new employer
(if it offers one that allows for rollovers) or opening up an individual retirement
account and keeping your money there.
Each has pros and cons,
says Meigs. You can borrow from your 401(k), but not from an IRA. However, it
may be easier to withdraw the funds from an IRA. One more point to keep in mind:
You'll probably have more control over your investment options if you go with
an IRA. With a 401(k), an investment professional decides which options to offer.
Two may be better
While consolidating accounts to a manageable number usually makes a great deal
of sense, in some cases you'll want to keep more than one account. Some investors
believe that gives them access to more than one investment expert's insight. That's
a reasonable argument, although you still want to keep the number of accounts
Another reason to maintain separate accounts is
when beneficiaries have very different needs and goals, says Julie Welch Runtz,
CFP, CPA and director of tax services with Meara King & Co. in Kansas City,
Mo. She gives this example: One of your children is doing fine, and doesn't really
need the money. The other is disabled, and will depend on the money in the account
to cover living expenses.
Given their different lifestyles,
it may make sense to set up separate accounts. That way, the investment style
for each account can be tailored to the beneficiary's needs.
if you're planning to name both an individual and a charity as beneficiaries,
you may want separate accounts. "When you co-mingle, the individual gives
up the right to have the proceeds distributed over a lifetime," says Parker.
Instead, he or she takes the money all at once.
There is a
way around this: The two beneficiaries have until the year following the account
holder's death to establish separate accounts. However, you may decide it's cleaner
to establish separate accounts from the get-go.
Outside of
these reasons, consolidating a grab-bag of retirement accounts typically makes
"You need to be proactive, and take control of
your retirement assets," says Meigs. "These are dollars you worked hard
to save. You don't want to write them off by forgetting about them."

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus, (I Thess. 5:18).
Today's text was sent to me by Byron and Emily Johnson. Byron grew up in our church and his parents are good friends. He and his wife Emily are missionaries. I'm not sure what went through their minds when God called them to the mission field, but they might have felt they were being called to a place where people needed to hear about Jesus, but was relatively safe. So they went…to the Ukraine! Recently, Bryon's young teen-age sister, Blythe, joined them to get a missions experience. I don't think this is what she had in mind!
Today's text came with a note asking for prayer. Although they are not in Kiev or the Crimea, the entire country is on edge, as you can imagine. In an email to Byron's parents they outlined an "evacuation" plan, if things get worse in their part of the country. They plan to stay and minister to people until it is obvious they need to leave. They asked for prayer for the people of the Ukraine.
Most of us will face some kind of pressure or difficulty today. But it probably won't be of the intensity of the one the Johnson's are facing. The question we can all ask ourselves is whether in the midst of our struggle we will be able to give thanks. I need help remembering to thank God for the good things in my life, much less the hard things. Of course, as the text says, sometimes the hard things are the good things.
How about putting a "U" on your hand today and when you see it, pray for the Ukraine. Pray for Bryon, Emily, and Blythe that they will be safe and God will use their faith in Jesus as a blessing to a people in extremely difficult circumstances. And as you do, give thanks for whatever circumstance you find yourself in today.

President Barack Obama has spoken about the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, according to an ABC News report on Tuesday. The president said that the police shooting death of the unarmed Missouri teen was heartbreaking. Additionally, Obama has urged the many persons who are upset with the police incident to stay calm. Following the incident which occurred on Saturday, citizens have taken to rioting and looting along with their protests.
Michael Brown was an African American who was shot a number of times on Saturday in Ferguson by a police officer even though he was unarmed. He died from the gunshots. Since Saturday's occurrence, many of the citizens of the community have been engaged in a tense standoff with the police. Looting, in particular, was rampant in the aftermath of the deadly event.
Obama said that the death of Brown is heartbreaking and that he and the First Lady send their deepest condolences to the deceased young man's family and his community at this very difficult time. The president continued by saying that he knows the events of the past few days have prompted strong passions, but as details unfold, he urges everyone in Ferguson and across the country to remember this young man through reflection and understanding. He said that we should comfort each other and talk with one another in a way that heals – not in a way that wounds. "Along with our prayers, that's what Michael and his family, and our broader American community, deserve," he said.
Part of the discontent with the community and supporters of Brown is that they doubt the sincerity of a promised FBI investigation into the shooting. Therefore, the president emphasized that Eric Holder, the nation's Attorney General, and the Department of Justice will be investigating the shooting alongside local police authorities in St. Louis County. According to KMOV-TV in St. Louis, the St. Louis County NAACP has already begun its own investigation as well.
Since there have been death threats made against the officer involved in the shooting, Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson is not identifying the officer to the general public due to safety concerns. Brown's father wants the officer's name released. The father said, "This person's got to pay for this." The father has received support for his plea from the likes of the Rev. Al Sharpton and Benjamin Crump, the Brown family's attorney. Following two nights of discontent in Ferguson, the Browns and civil rights leaders have urged supporters to remain calm without any display of violence – as did President Obama.

Cross Country to Finish Season at NCAA Region Meet
Hosted by Florida State University, the women's 6K race is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. with the men's 10K race to follow at 9:15 a.m. The meet will be run at Apalachee Regional Park.
The women's cross country team won the Sun Belt championship on Oct. 27 in Bowling Green, Ky. The Panthers beat out Arkansas State 52-58 for GSU's first conference title since announcing a move to the league in July.
Five Panthers were named to All-Conference teams, including the 2012 Sun Belt Runner of the Year, Katharine Showalter. Third year head coach Chris England was also named the league Coach of the Year.
"Of course, the Sun Belt Championship was our No. 1 goal this season," said England. "But we have a number of other goals including a top 10 finish at the NCAA Region meet."
The women's team is currently ranked No. 8 in the South Region, after beginning the season at the No. 14.
"We've been following the progression of the team over the course of the season," said England. "It's exciting to see the team not only be conference champions, but also to be contenders on a bigger scale in the NCAA meet."
Last season, the GSU women placed 14th out of 27 teams at the Region meet in Tuscaloosa, Ala. and the men finished 15th of 24. Valentin Poncelet placed 24th overall to earn All-Region honors for the Panthers.
The top two teams of each region move on to the NCAA National Championship in Louisville, Ky. on Nov. 17. The top three individuals not on those qualifying teams also earn a trip to the national meet.
Georgia State has had a total of eight individuals qualify for the meet in program history, most recently Janel Blancet in 2009.

Posts Tagged 'Donovan Durband'
By Donovan Durband
Two days after State Representative Frank Antenori warned the Rio Nuevo District Board not to rock Rio Nuevo's boat by obligating Rio Nuevo or its TIF revenue stream to any contracts or projects prior to the Legislature's passage of the State budget—which would include an amendment pertaining to the disposition of Rio Nuevo—an article in the Arizona Daily Star demonstrated the precariousness of Rio Nuevo's position in the State Legislature.
The Star article told of a proposal in the House Appropriations Committee to redraw the TIF district's boundaries to exclude the area containing its two cash cows—Park Place Mall and El Con "Mall". The proposal was roundly criticized by Southern Arizona legislators from both parties and from both houses of the Legislature.
Rep. Antenori vowed that the proposal was an error that would be fixed with an amendment to be offered by Senator Jonathan Paton of Tucson. It would need to be fixed if there is any chance to capture substantial revenues to repay the bonds that Rio Nuevo has already sold or to build the infrastructure that is needed in Downtown or, more remotely, to build the museums and cultural facilities that were part of the 1999 Rio Nuevo ballot measure, the Master Plan adopted in 2001, and a Funding Allocation Guide approved by Mayor and Council in May 2007.
The Appropriations Committee scare amply demonstrates the wisdom of following Antenori's advice to sit tight, be quiet, and do nothing that would provoke the rest of the Legislature—whose extreme disappointment with Rio Nuevo is now well-documented—into killing the whole thing. Antenori, Paton, and Tucson-area members of both parties in the Legislature are trying to fend off those from other parts of the state that would just sacrifice the TIF (except for the future revenues needed to repay the December 2008 bonds) to the State's ginormous budget deficit.
I was involved in the effort to secure the extension of the TIF in 2006, and I saw first-hand what a hard sell it was. The district boundaries were a sore point then, and they continue to be today. The Legislature did not trust Tucson city government to make the project happen then, and trusts it even less today. Justified or not, that's the way it is.
After the TIF extension was signed into law, I proposed that the TIF be prioritized to leverage private commercial investment through expenditures on infrastructure, so that we could grow our TIF in downtown, creating much more funding than just what the malls produce, so that we could build ALL of the projects that were in the master plan.
Our Tucson Downtown Alliance board approved the proposal unanimously, and it was met by nods of agreement among the business community, other organizations, and members of the newspapers' editorial boards. The idea was not to pit one project against another, but do them in such a sequence as to make it possible to do all of the projects eventually.
While some good things are definitely happening in Downtown, and have been for years, very little of the progress to-date is directly attributable to wise investments of the TIF itself, so it is not surprising that the State would be questioning the efficacy of this investment in State sales tax dollars. Millions have been spent teeing up projects on the West Side that were halted by the city manager in 2008. Only the renovation of the Fox and Rialto Theatres, the construction of the TCC box office, the Presidio Heritage Park, Avenida del Convento, and a roundabout outside the TIF district boundaries on Grande Avenue are completed TIF-funded projects. Soon the Depot Plaza garage will join that list. See for yourself at http://www.tucsonaz.gov/rionuevo/.
I hope that by the time this magazine is printed, the Legislature has passed a budget with a Rio Nuevo amendment that leaves the TIF funding stream fully intact through its sunset date in 2025. Almost certainly, though, for that to have happened, the Legislature didn't get spooked again by news of Tucson leaders trying to redirect control of the project or to redirect funding to anything but a convention complex. We have to stop denying that there have been problems, take our medicine, and hope for the best.
And, equally certain is the likelihood that the amendment required the creation of a new oversight board for the TIF that answers not to the City of Tucson, but to the State of Arizona. Hopefully, this board will be made up entirely of Tucsonans who will demand transparency and accountability, who understand how to invest the funding strategically, and who want the best for Downtown.

College Hockey:Cardinals Warm Up For Playoffs
It was deja vu all over again.
The last time Plattsburgh and Potsdam faced each other, Plattsburgh won 3-2 in overtime. Tuesday, that's exactly what happened again, with the only difference being that the game was played in Potsdam's Maxcy Hall, as opposed to Plattsburgh's Stafford Arena back in December.
The game started out as a close checking affair with a scoreless first period and only ten shots (five for each team) taken in the opening stanza.
The second period opened up a bit, and it showed on the scoreboard. Plattsburgh claimed first blood at the 11:35 mark. Jeff Hopkins, after being denied twice by Ryan Venturelli, finally knocked the puck in on his third attempt. The play started out as a two on one after Plattsburgh stopped a Potsdam two on one.
Plattsburgh went up 2-0 at 16:49 on a goal by Jeff Marshall. He first took a shot from the faceoff circle on which Venturelli made a great save. Marshall picked up his own rebound, and from an impossible angle, simply shot it towards the net. It deflected off Venturelli and into the goal.
Potsdam would get one back while skating four-on-four just before the end of the period. Chris Lee showed that patience is a virtue when he waited for Niklas Sundberg to make the first move. Sundberg went down, and Lee went top shelf with it. The goal came with 36 seconds left in the second.
About four minutes into the third period, Potsdam's Mike Snow was stopped on a breakaway by Sundberg. Not too much later, though, at 5:31 of the third, Potsdam got the tying goal. Anthony Greer let go of a blast that Sundberg initially had. However, he couldn't handle it and the puck rolled out of his glove and into the net.
Despite opportunities by both sides, regulation ended in a 2-2 tie.
Plattsburgh had the best chances in overtime. Conor McDonough found himself in front with his own rebound but knocked it over the net before the winner came on a three on one breakout.
Hopkins skated it behind the net and quickly put the puck back out in front, and Mark Coletta knocked the puck in with lots of bodies in front. In fact, Potsdam argued that there were men in the crease but to no avail as the goal came at 3:06 of the extra period.
Venturelli ended up with 28 saves while Sundberg got the win with 30.
The win gives Plattsburgh a final regular-season record of 18-7-0, with a 13-1-0, first place SUNYAC record. The Cardinals get to rest for a week as they await whoever comes out of the play-in round of the playoffs.
Meanwhile, despite the loss, Potsdam remains in fifth place, thanks to Buffalo State losing to Fredonia, 4-2. The Bears will take their 6-8-0 conference record (11-14-0 overall) into Geneseo this Friday and Saturday night for a two-game playoff series. Both start times are at 7 p.m.

Phils Predictions - Pitchers
Carson - 16-8 3.55 - He has amazing stuff, there's no questioning that. However, I do question his motivation and fortitude sometimes.
Corey - 15-6 3.67 - Won't pitch enough games (back? elbow?) to win 20. Will lead the team in complaining about non-issues and chiropractic visits.
Brett Myers
Carson - 17-9 3.88 - He's the staff's workhorse and will prove to be the guy they rely on to stop a losing streak and begin a winning one.
Corey - 15-9 4.09 - Phils need big years from Hamels and Myers to get back to the playoffs.
Myers' Arm - 22-4 2.34 - I have what it takes...
Kyle Kendrick
Carson - 12-11 4.76 - I loved what the kid did for us last year, but I expect growing pains this season.
Corey - 13-9 4.22 - Expect a solid but unspectacular year...for the next 4-5 years.
Jamie Moyer
Carson - 10-11 5.16 - Grand Pappy's last season won't be particularly pretty. Between Jamie, Eaton, and Cole's token DL stint, I foresee Benson getting plenty of opportunities to start.
Corey - 11-10 4.97 - Last hurrah for Moyer. He's my leading candidate, not Eaton, to get replaced by Kris Benson in a few months.
Adam Eaton
Carson - 11-8 4.92 - Won't be nearly as bad as everyone is expecting, but still won't make more than 30 starts.
Corey - 12-9 4.67 - Will exceed very low expectations.
Brad Lidge
Carson - 3.23 42 Sv- Lidge will be fine this season and the Phils will begin contract extension plans with him come July.
Corey - 3.60 40 Sv - If Joe Table can save 45 for the Phils, Lidge can bounce back and get 40.

Wes Helms could be shipped to Atlanta for a reliever. The group of relievers believed to be available- Blaine Boyer, Chris Resop, Tyler Yates, and Royce Ring. I'd like Ring personally.

Phils News-
Lidge to DL, able to be activated on April 5.
JD Durbin got beat up by the Yanks yesterday, 6 runs in 1 inning. He better not make the team with a 12.33 era this spring. I doubt anyone claims him off waivers either, considering how crappy he's been.
Phils need to add Kris Benson to the 40 man roster today or risk losing him on an opt-out option. I hope he sticks around, because I think we'll be needing him.
Fat Mike Zagurski may need Tommy John surgery...ugh!

I was expecting a projection for Eaton something like 2-15, 6.35 ERA.

Does Adam Eaton have pictures of the two of you with male prostitutes (if it's my Dad, don't answer that)?

The Inquirer's morning report had these great bits of information regarding former Phillies' outfielders:
Most out to lunch: Jeff Stone. Refused to bring home a television from the Puerto Rican winter league because "it only gets Spanish stations."
Best player despite a drug habit: Lonnie Smith. Hit .339 in 100 games as the Phillies won the World Series in 1980. He admitted later that he always slid headfirst because he kept his cocaine vials in his rear pocket.

That's classy stuff there Jacobin, thanks for sharing.
I watched the Opener this morning too. I'm not opposed to playing in Japan, but opening there is sacreligious.

Looks like Travis Blackley is being offered back to the Giants, and Gary Knotts and Vic Darensbourg have been reassigned to the minors. This means piece of shit JD Durbin will likely make the team. Why?!?!?!
This leaves the battle for the last spot between Snelling and Helms...ugh.

I'm concerned about Kendrick ... I get this feeling he's going to be Eaton-like this season.
- March 25, 2008 8:16 PM
- Jacobin said...
I'm not worried about Kendrick. I expect he'll be solid, but not spectacular. I'm kind of disgusted with JD Durbin making the squad after his gutless comment earlier this year regarding how he doesn't really have the desire to be good.
- March 25, 2008 9:57 PM
- GM-Carson said...
If indeed Durbin does make the squad, it is very disturbing. He hasn't shown much in his past and he surely didn't show anything this spring to warrant staying. This is just another example of why fans complain about the Phillies.

Celebrating her 26th birthday with family and friends is one of the itineraries of the pop princess and certified box office queen Sarah Geronimo this July. She was forced to celebrate her birthday on "ASAP 19" to accommodate all her commitments in the industry. Yesterday, July 22, 2014, while everyone was busy searching for an update, Sarah Geronimo used her Twitter account and cleared some important issues regarding her coaching stint on "The Voice Kids," according to her; there is no favoritism in her team.
The pop princess was forced to air her side when she received several hate messages from her bashers online. All of them were telling her to be fair with Darren and Lyca, two of the four finalists on "The Voice Kids." Sarah Geronimo immediately replied and said she is playing it fair between her two young artists Dareen and Lyca. Before this issue came out, Sarah Geronimo was seen promoting Lyca Gairanod, a very talented kid from Tanza, Cavite, during the live episode of "The Voice Kids."
She encouraged all her fans and supporters to support the kid to win in the competition which will be held on Saturday and Sunday at the Resorts World Manila in Pasay City. A lot of people believe that she made the wrong decision when she called for help in favor of Lyca because of the fact that she also has Darren Espanto, a very talented kid who was born in Calgary, Canada, in her team. Anyway, the pop princess is enjoying her coaching stint on "The Voice Kids," in fact; she will also be a coach of the hopefuls in the upcoming season 2 of "The Voice."
On her 26th birthday; even though she is busy working with the kids and fellow coaches, Sarah Geronimo made sure that she will celebrate her birthday with family and friends this Friday. On Matteo Guidicelli; the pop princess did not give any detailed information regarding the actor's wish, but based on the report, Matteo will try to have a romantic date with Sarah Geronimo this Friday.

College Hockey:Hobart Locks Up Playoff Spot With Win Over Utica
GENEVA, N.Y. — Down 3-0 entering the third period, Utica came charging back to make the game close. But Hobart held on, scoring a critical goal midway through the period to win 4-2. The victory clinched a playoff spot for Hobart.
"They compete. They're a good team," said Hobart coach Mark Taylor. "You've got to keep that mentality of keeping at them. We got away from that little early in the third period and they took advantage of it."
Utica applied offensive pressure early in the third period; Hobart got into penalty trouble handling the pressure and Utica converted near the end of an extended power play. Jeff Mohney scored the first Pioneer goal 5:06 into the third period with a big blast from the point that wound through a screen.
Just two minutes later, Jimmy Sokol skated out of the corner and wristed the puck through another screen to pull Utica back within one goal. At that point, Utica was able to generate more traffic in front of the Hobart net than at any other time in the game.
However, after Utica's second goal Hobart turned on its offense again. The insurance goal for the Statesmen came at 13:47 of the period. Craig Levey sent what looked like a harmless shot towards the Utica net from the top of the slot. Jesse Desper redirected the puck just past the post, into the corner of the net for the goal.
"Look at that game — a lot in their end, you get the opportunities and don't score," said Utica coach Gary Heenan. "Hobart's experience came through in the end."
The first ten minutes of the game were a defensive struggle through the neutral zone. It was playoff-style hockey, with a berth in the playoffs on the line, as each team felt out the other.
The only goal of the period came off a ferocious Hobart forecheck. Utica had three chances to clear the puck, but every time there was a Statesman there to keep it in.
"We knew to beat them we had to forecheck real hard," said Taylor. "We had to get action in front of their net. And that's what we were able to do on the first goal."
Andy Kasprczak started the play that resulted in Hobart's goal. He sent a big blast down the slot that Utica goaltender Jake Miskovic saved, but the rebound dropped down in to the crease. Several whacks later, Andy Herlihy was able to lift the rebound over Miskovic for the goal at 10:18.
Offensive opportunities dotted the second period. Both teams opened up some, and total shots increased from just 11 in the first period to 29 in the second.
Only Hobart was able to convert the opportunities into goals during the second. R.C. Schmidt tallied with a backhander 2:18 in, and Trevor Gowan scored on a blast from the blue line at 9:18 to stake Hobart to a 3-0 lead.
Utica was able to pour significant pressure on the Hobart net during two power plays in the period, but the Pioneers couldn't solve Hobart netminder Adam Lavelle.

Oregon will try to get back on the winning side of the ledger on the rolling hills of the Palouse when the Ducks take on Washington State Sunday at 4 p.m. in Pullman. This will be the 286th meeting between the Ducks and Cougars, a relative youngster among the Northwest rivalries with Oregon and Oregon State have played an NCAA-high 340 times and Oregon and Washington putting game 296 in the books on Thursday. The Cougars are allowing just 64.7 points per game (3rd in the Pac-12). Both teams feature the three-point shot heavily in their respective arsenals, with Oregon second in the league at 7.5 triples per game, and the Cougs at 7.2. WSU attempts nearly 22 three-pointers per game.
1 - Victory within reach. In each of the last five games, the Ducks have been a handful of plays or less from victory. There have been four single-digit losses, including one by two points (Stanford) and another by four (Washington). Even the 13-point loss to Cal was a just six-point ball game at the under 4:00 media timeout.
2 - Sunday, lucky Sunday. Sunday's game at Washington State will mark the ninth Sunday game for Oregon already in the 2013-14 season. All told, the Ducks will play a league-high 11 Sunday games this year.
3 - Bench points. Oregon's bench continues to be productive in 2013-14. The reserves chipped in with 37 points Thursday night against Washington, which followed a season-best 47-point bench effort Jan. 19 at Oregon State. On the season, the bench has tallied 558 points for an average of 31.0 per game. Opponents are getting 18.9 per game from reserves (341 total). Other big games from the bench include 44 in the OT win versus Brigham Young, 43 against both San Francisco and North Dakota, 38 versus UC Irvine and 36 in the OT win at Ole Miss.
4 - Oregon leads the Pac-12 and is fourth nationally in points per game (86.8). The Ducks are also among the national leaders in free throw percentage (.776/3rd).
5 - Oregon has forced opponents into double-digit turnovers in 16 of 18 games this season including a season-high 20 Jan. 19 by Oregon State.
And One - Oregon leads the Pac-12 in free throw percentage (.776) with three of the top five free throw shooters in the league. Jason Calliste is first at .884, Johnathan Loyd is fifth at .877 and Joseph Young is fifth at .859. Damyean Dotson is also over 80 percent (.818).
Senior Mike Moser needs another 24 points to become the third player on the 2013-14 team to score 1,000 career points. Moser netted 690 points at UNLV and 36 at UCLA before graduating and transferring to Oregon for his final season. Joseph Young recently reached the 1,000 point milestone of his NCAA career. Young scored 916 points in two seasons at Houston, and has added another 324 this year for 1,140 career points. He joins Jason Calliste, who surpassed 1,000 career points in three seasons at Detroit, in the 1,000-point club.
The Ducks also undefeated when shooting better than the opponent (11-0), but only 2-5 when being out-shot. Thursday marked the first time this season that the Ducks lost when out-rebounding the opposition. Oregon had been 9-0 in that category this year.
The Ducks have scored at least 80 points in 13 of 18 games this season. Oregon has also gone over 90 points eight times and 100 four times. Oregon has put up those big scoring totals through a collaborative effort. Oregon has had at least four players score in double figures in 10 of the last 14 games. The Ducks have also had five reach double figure five times, and six twice.
The Ducks have had at least 15 assists 11 times in 18 games this season. In fact, Oregon has been held below 10 assists just twice this year: 7 at Utah (Jan. 2) and 6 at Oregon State (Jan. 19).
Thursday at Washington, Johnathan Loyd became the sixth Duck with 400 career assists (401). He's now 21 behind Luke Jackson (424/2000-04) for fifth. Earlier this season, Loyd recorded a pair of impressive assists totals. First, he tied the Matthew Knight Arena record with 13 assists Nov. 29 against Pacific. Former Duck Malcolm Armstead also had 13 assists at MKA against Oregon State in 2011. A week later, Loyd set a career high with 15 assists Dec. 8 at Ole Miss. He also just missed a career high with 23 points, but did record the first double-double of his career. The 15 assists were the second-highest single game total in school history. Only the great Ronnie Lee had a bigger assist game at Oregon, doling out 17 in a 116-77 win over Villanova (12-23-74). Already this season, Loyd has passed a trio of Oregon legends on the Ducks' career assists list; he's gone by Kamikaze Kids' point guard Mike Drummond (309/1974-78) for eighth, NBA all-star Terrell Brandon (315/1990-91) and former NBA player Fred Jones (367/1998-02) for sixth. On the steals chart, Loyd moved by current Houston Rocket Aaron Brooks (127/2003-07) for seventh in career steals Jan. 2 against Utah. Loyd now has 135 total swipes.
Oregon opened the regular season on Nov. 8 by defeating Georgetown 82-75 in the Armed Forces Classic on Army Base Camp Humphreys in South Korea. The Ducks travelled more than 12,000 miles round trip to participate in a game that honored the troops serving America. The crowd in attendance consisted entirely of active military members and their families based at Camp Humphreys. At the end of the game, Oregon players removed their jerseys and gave them to the troops, who had stormed the court to celebrate with the Ducks.
The team also got a helicopter hangar tour, where the servicemen and women who fly and maintain four different types of helicopters - Chinook, Blackhawk, Apache and Kiowa - showed off their impressive machines. The Ducks also served lunch to the troops, had a meet and greet at the gym and conducted a kids' clinic. Said Oregon coach Dana Altman after the game, "the servicemen and women came out and cheered for us and made us feel like we were the best team in America, but it's those men and women who are the real heroes. Our guys are going to remember this experience for a long time."
Oregon continues to remember the troops they met in South Korea by breaking their team huddle with the Army cry "HOO-AH" as opposed to the traditional "TEAM."
Football defensive lineman Aric (pronounced Eric) Armstead rejoined the basketball team following the Ducks' victory over Texas in the Alamo Bowl. The 6-8, 280-lbs. Armstead redshirted the basketball season a year ago. Oregon also added Providence transfer Brandon Austin to the roster. Austin was a top-50 rated prep player who helped Imhotep Charter High School record a 28-5 mark and capture the PIAA AAA championship in as a senior in 2013. He will be eligible to play for Oregon at the conclusion of the 2014 fall quarter.
The Ducks have five backcourt players who combined to play nearly 5,000 minutes in 2012-13, and own more than 500 career three-pointers at the NCAA Division I level. The breakdown in 3's: Jason Calliste - 203, Joseph Young - 157, Johnathan Loyd - 68, Damyean Dotson - 63, Dominic Artis - 37.
Now with 86 victories in an Oregon uniform, Johnathan Loyd trails only former teammate E.J. Singler, who won 89 times as a Duck from 2009-13. Loyd became the sixth member of Oregon's 80-win club. That list now looks like: Singler (89), Loyd (86), Fred Jones (81), Joevan Catron (81), Luke Jackson (80) and Dick Wilkins (80).
Damyean Dotson has a couple of overtime game-winners to his credit this year. He had the steal and dunk with :00.6 left in overtime to lift Oregon to the 70-68 win Jan. 2 at Utah. Earlier in the season, he made the go-ahead lay-in with :35 left in overtime as the Ducks topped BYU 100-96 on Dec. 21.
California was the sixth 2013 NCAA Tournament team the Ducks have played this season. So far Oregon is 4-2 against 2013 NCAA Tournament squads with wins over Georgetown, Pacific, Ole Miss and Illinois, and losses to Colorado and Cal.
Oregon tied a school record by reaching the century mark for the fourth time this season Dec. 21 against Brigham Young. It is just the third time in 109 seasons of basketball that the Ducks have scored 100 points four times in the same season. Oregon has never had more than four 100-point games in the same year. The Ducks last had four 100-point games in the same year in 2001-02. Oregon first accomplished that feat in 1995-96.
All nine newcomers have seen action for the Ducks this season. Senior transfers Mike Moser (UNLV), Jason Calliste (Detroit) and Richard Amardi (Indian Hills CC), junior transfers Joseph Young (Houston) and Brian Crow (Sonoma State), and sophomore transfer Elgin Cook (Northwest Florida State) all played in the season opener versus Georgetown. Those six players combined to score 66 of Oregon's 82 points versus the Hoyas. Freshman Theo Friedman became the seventh newcomer to play this season when he entered the Western Carolina game. Freshman A.J. Lapray made it eight newcomers with his debut in the Utah Valley game. The last newcomer on the roster, Jalil Abdul-Bassit, made his debut against San Francisco

2 in 1 for Office Creativity, Collaboration
In business today, creativity and collaboration drive innovation. This has often required multiple devices to get the job done, because we have to work in two different modes. Creativity means think time, typing and data input, and working hooked up, head down, and hands on with the PC—alone. Collaboration is a whole different interaction—working together with colleagues, often meeting spontaneously somewhere other than your desk.
With all the cables that need to be disconnected at the desk, getting a laptop to a collaborative environment is only half the challenge. Gathering a group around a laptop is awkward and ineffective no matter where you do it. In a hallway, it is worse, balancing the laptop on one hand and touching with the other. The bigger the group, the more difficult it becomes. And it is not much easier spread out across a large conference table.

Share photos and stories.
Help your provider get to know your child by sharing stories about family rituals or photos of them doing favorite activities.
Talk about what hopes you have for your child while in child care
and discuss ways you can both work toward common goals.
Become a Parent Volunteer
Get involved by helping with field trips or sharing a skill. Your involvment shows your provider that you care about what they do and helps to enrich your child's experience.
Communicate with your provider on a regular basis
Take time to engage in daily communication
• Verbal communication when children are dropped off or picked up
• Written communication through email, notes or a daily notebook shared between parents and provider.
Ask your provider to post news and activity updates
• Newsletters - printed handout or delivered via email
• Website updates
• Bulletin boards
• Parent mailboxes

Teddy phone?

I guess this is aimed at those paranoid about kids being snatched rather than those paranoid about kids' brains being boiled by microwave radiation.
OK, so it looks like a teddy and is probably quite sturdy (waterproof?), but does a 10-year old need to be making calls to arrange meetings and keep in touch with friends? What about call charges?
Unexploited niche market? No. A bloody stupid idea.
Just chip the little bastards...

Mines the one with the Nelly the Elephant logo on the lapels
10-year old? My 6-year old would be embarrassed to be seen with that!
I suppose it would be a boon to all those parents that leave their toddlers alone whilst out at the pub - just train him to dial your number if he's scared or the building's on fire...
Not exactly new.. the "bear" phone has been around since 2005: http://www.mobilegazette.com/buddy-bear-051026.htm
True - but no-one's launched it in the UK before, which makes this news for us. I suspect some careful searching will reveal the G-Phone to have had an earlier incarnation too, though it's a lot harder to search for a limited-feature-clamshell than it is a teddy-shaped phone.
Thanks for the link though - I was sure I'd seen it before but failed to find such a fine reference.
If its like the Disney phones sold in the states, the parents have to program in the numbers they call..
Getting closer to the Harry Harrison science fiction story "I Always Do What Teddy Says", about the toys used to program children for correct thought.

"the G-Phone irradiates a slightly older demographic..."
