"Knowing where to begin describing these is hard. The closest I can come is my first experience listening to a pair of full-size swiss Piega loudspeakers back in the early '90s.

Peter Huidekoper, Jr., is a veteran educator and creator of the "Another View" newsletter.
Does it matter what Denver's next mayor thinks or does about public education?
Does the mayor of Denver have on obligation to work to improve our schools? To improve the opportunities for our kids—the majority of whom are in the Denver Public Schools?
(I do not believe Mayors Peña, Webb, or Hickenlooper felt any such obligation. So what is different about 2011 that we might answer yes to these questions?)
Or is all the talk by mayoral candidates on reform only that—mere chatter, a token tip of the cap to this issue—or even worse, a distraction from more fundamental issues—like addressing a $100 million budget shortfall—that are the responsibility of the city's leader?
Readers of The Denver Post get a decidedly mixed message.
In his April 26 column, Mike Littwin wrote that schools were one of the major issues in the mayor's race, but he was quick to remind us, in parenthesis—("over which the mayor has little control"). Vincent Carroll echoed this when he criticized the mayor's race, as of May 4, for paying little attention to the city's most pressing issues. Why? "Maybe the candidates were too concerned with letting us know their views of reform in Denver schools," he wrote, before adding, "which the mayor doesn't happen to govern. It's time they abandoned that dead-end theme and moved on for good to other issues." And Joanne Ditmer began her May 27 column with this rebuke: "Sometimes it seems the candidates for mayor of Denver don't live in the same city that I do. They talk a lot about education, ignoring that it's a Board of Education task."
So should our next mayor use that political clout, or stay on the sidelines? If the Post itself seems to waver, voters are putting education high on the city's agenda. According to the Survey USA poll in early April, the top concerns were: economic issues (31 percent), schools (25 percent), and budget (21 percent) (Post, April 15, poll of 588 likely Denver voters).
It was noteworthy, too, that candidates with the most tepid positions on education—Carol Boigon, Doug Linkhart, and Theresa Spahn—bowed out early and/or only earned single-digit support. Some of them protested too much, methinks, harping on how they were NOT running for superintendent (as if we weren't sure). When they spoke of how the city could "join hands with DPS" and do more "to partner" with the district on recycling programs, for example, many turned away, certain that such tinkering in the margins was outdated—and no match for the challenges facing our schools.
In contrast, all three top vote getters insisted the mayor's office could and would play a much bigger role. And although James Mejia seemed nearly as eager to address education as Michael Hancock and Chris Romer, he remained lukewarm enough to win the endorsement of the Denver Classroom Teachers Association. Voters favored the two who sounded more certain that reform must go forward.
Here are three reasons we have should expect our mayor to be a strong advocate for significant improvement in our schools:
Leadership. How can one be called the city's leader and not care about and speak to the unsatisfactory education too many kids experience, or the unsatisfactory results, in our schools? How can one impose restrictions on the role of a leader—to say he or she must be silent, or quiescent, regarding the quality of education of 70,000 or more students in the city?
I realize some consider Mayors Michael Bloomberg, Richard Daley, and Cory Booker taking on their school system as a power grab, more about control than good schools. There may be an element of truth in that. But many of us applaud city leaders who tackle one of their cities' most profound challenges. We see mayoral control, not as trespassing on someone else's turf, but as an act of leadership. Times change. Realities sink in. This is what is different about 2011—in Denver, and across the country. Big city mayors have connected the struggles of their school districts to the quality of life and future well-being of their communities, and they have chosen to act.
I know too we are not talking about mayoral control in Denver. Yet. Both Michael Hancock and Chris Romer have indicated they do not see today's situation in DPS calling for such intervention, but neither have ruled it out in the future. Good. A useful shot across the bow. I see leadership here.
Who decided education should always be exclusively the Board of Education's responsibility? Lincoln's words apply, do they not? "As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew." Why restrict the mayor's role and his or her voice by insisting on all that city hall cannot do? I apologize for pulling out the trite phrase, but yes, maybe it does take a village. It seems odd to sideline city leaders who rightly feel a moral obligation to pull more folks and resources and ideas together to address such a huge problem for the community. After all, if this is "the civil rights issue of our time," don't we need all hands on deck
Taxes. As a Denver homeowner from 1991 to 2003, my property tax bill often included this note: "58 percent of these taxes are determined by and collected for the Denver Public Schools." Residents send the majority of their annual property taxes to the schools. But throughout that time I never felt the superintendents expressed my views, and seldom heard school board members who spoke for the changes I was rooting for. It was natural to hope that there were other political, business, and foundation leaders who could challenge the school district's reluctance (at best) to embrace choice and charters in the 1990's, to allow more site-based management by principals and schools, to demand more accountability, to rethink its policy of placing teachers in schools. But those voices were muted, short-lived, or isolated. Most of my money was passing into or through the 900 Grant Street bureaucracy—about whose stubbornness and stumbles our mayors were remarkably silent.
Denver voters of late have had enough of this. Perhaps someday soon they will have had enough of the school board itself. Until then, taxpayers have good reason to ask the person they elect as the city's leader to actively seek significant improvement of the system—one their tax dollars maintain.
Jobs. When we don't have a school district we can be proud of, it affects the city's future, as well as current efforts to interest potential companies to locate here. The Post's Jeremy P. Meyer wrote on the mayor's race and jobs, and quoted the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation's chief economist, Patty Silverstein. "Do we have the workforce that they are looking for?" is a central question, she said. Among their considerations: "education spending" and "the performance of public schools ("For Denver's next mayor, it's jobs, jobs, jobs," Feb. 20). Former Mayor Wellington Webb told the Post that when corporations or high-priced athletes look to relocate, "One of the first things they do is look at the school system. And one of the reasons they locate outside of Denver is because they don't have to send their kids to DPS" ("Schools near top of syllabus," April 17).
Neither Romer nor Hancock plans to follow the hands-off approach of their predecessors. On April 24 Romer told the Post: " … the education reform profile of the next mayor will determine whether we continue forward or not. There's just too much evidence that a mayor who looks the other way will allow the process to flip and we just have to be on the ball, which means I will help recruit candidates [for school board, I presume]. I will walk for candidates. I will help fundraise for candidates who share a reform agenda." (See Vincent Carroll's wise warnings about the consequences in the school board race.)
Michael Hancock told the Post: "I'll hold school leaders accountable, and look for efficiencies between the city and DPS, so dollars focus on student achievement" (April 17). Again, there are plenty of folks who wonder if a mayor can really do this. Given our present structures, isn't it voters who must hold the school board members they elect accountable, and isn't it their job, in turn, to hold accountable the superintendent they choose—and through him, DPS as a whole? Aren't we inviting too many chefs into the kitchen when we ask the mayor's office to hold all these folks accountable?
It is a worry, I agree. And yet the current situation is scary. We already have Denver's progress at risk because a board could be at cross-purposes with the district's priorities. True, if we add a mayor who is keen to have an influence on public education, the situation could become untenable. I can imagine a superintendent might feel he or she has one too many "bosses" to report to—and decide the only sane choice is to just walk away.
The bigger worry, however, is that we continue the pattern set during the 21 years I have lived in Colorado—where a school district with enormous challenges and inadequate progress is allowed to trudge along, while the individual we vote as our city leader plays silent observer, or (more condescending) unquestioning backer and defender, of a system that cannot graduate 60% of its students. That is asking our mayor not to lead, not to take a stand on an issue critical to the well-being of the city and its future.
Tony Lewis, director of the Donnell-Kay Foundation, described it well in his look back: "What we have seen to date is mayors saying, 'I support the superintendent, and I think he is doing a good job.' But we have a bunch of failing schools. Have you heard a mayor yet say we should close those failing schools? Finally, we have candidates who are saying 'This does affect the city'" (Post, April 17).
Failing schools surely deserve more attention (see Westword's damning piece on North High, one of six Denver schools expected to receive $14.4 million in federal funding for turnaround efforts the next three years). The sad truth, though, is that so many schools are struggling. By its own assessment, of the 132 in the district, the DPS 2010 School Performance Framework determined that nearly one-quarter —32—were Accredited on Priority Watch (18 schools) or Accredited on Probation (14). Most schools (71) did not Meet Expectations.
So over half of the schools do not meet expectations, meaning—what, 40,000 students are in a school that falls below Denver's own standards? And we can't expect the mayor to help? I don't think so.

Hayden's Fate Rests with Audi says Ducati
Strange things happen when one company buys another. With Ducati in strategic limbo land as it awaits the clearance of the final regulatory approvals for Audi to purchase the company, Nicky Hayden finds himself caught up in "business as usual".
Speaking from much experience, I can tell you that during a change of control period in the business world, leaders preach to their employees the need for "business as usual". Change of control means uncertainty, none more so when the deal has been announced but not yet consummated.
This is the position Ducati finds itself in with respect to Audi. Even though the deal was announced months ago, the transaction has yet to close meaning Ducati must still operate as an independent entity, even if it will shortly come under German control.
The one exception is in the area of strategic activities. About to be gobbled up companies tend to delay any major decision that would otherwise bind the hands of the new owners to something they might not agree to. Example. MotoGP racing contracts.
Ducati hold an option on the services of Nicky Hayden for their factory Ducati MotoGP team. An option is the right, but not the obligation, to contract the Kentucky kid. With the option almost expired, Ducati claim to not be able to exercise it due to the impending Audi takeover. That hasn't seemed to stop them courting Cal Crutchlow.
With the Briton currently hot property it makes sense for Ducati to see if they can entice the Englishman before sticking with the tried and true Hayden. In addition dating and actually getting married are too entirely different things as Hayden is finding out.
"They have an option on me, but that expires in a couple of days," Hayden said. "(They say that) until the Audi deal is complete they can't do nothing. We've had some good talks and other times … not really sure."
And as Nicky points out, Ducati likely have other things on their mind.
"I'm sure Valentino is their first priority," Hayden said of Ducati's plans.
Once the option on Nicky expires, he is free to shop himself around to any other takers. Hayden sits in 7th position in the MotoGP title chase this year so far, just 2 points behind his famous team-mate. Although the 2006 MotoGP World Champion and 3 times race winner is not a title contender, his high work rate, amiable character and country of origin still make him an attractive choice for many teams.
And for Ducati fans who think that Cal might be able to jump on the Ducati and do a Casey, Nicky has some advice for them after getting up close and personal with Crutchlow at Assen.
"I rode a lot with Cal today. Of course Cal has got the right attitude and he is not going to give up easily, but today he was fighting that Yamaha a lot to be racing with me. Obviously, he got a bad start, but he's not going to have to fight that Ducati any less."

Phil Mickelson, sentimental favorite and leader/co-leader every night of the U.S. Open, the guy who's somehow golf's everyman despite being a private-jet-flying multimillionaire, has once again fallen just short at the U.S. Open.
Justin Rose, an exceptional golfer whose time as a major winner has come, triumphed by two shots over Mickelson. Rose finished at +1 by playing smart golf, and even in the moments in which he had opportunities to fall short, controlled the damage. When he finished out with an unlikely par on 18, the toughest hole on the course, he dabbed at his eyes, the enormity of the moment finally catching up with him.
From there, it was just a matter of time. Mickelson hadn't even finished out the 17th when Rose tapped in his par putt on 18, so Rose had to watch as Mickelson tried to birdie either one of the two final holes to force a playoff.
He came so close, so very close ... but yet again, fell short.
He wasn't alone. This was a tournament in which each of the challengers coming into Sunday had a defining moment that cost them an opportunity:
— Luke Donald struck a spectator on #3, and proceeded to card over-par scores on that and the next three holes;
— Steve Stricker hit two shots out of bounds on #2;
— Jason Day lipped a virtual tap-in on 18;
— Hunter Mahan pushed an easy short putt past the hole on 15.
Much will be written in the coming hours and days about Mickelson, his would-be career-defining shot, and whether he "deserved" to win this. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Either way, Rose did.
This marked a significant career breakthrough for Rose, who had placed in the top 10 in two of the last five majors. Whether this is the start of a tremendous major-winning career for Rose, or whether Rose is stepping into the shoes of Stewart Cink, winning the 2009 British Open that everyone had wanted to go to Tom Watson, is a story for another day. In a week in which most of the best in golf surrendered to the brutal rough and treacherous greens of Merion, Rose was just good enough to win.

Morsi's murder trial to reconvene Wednesday
An Egyptian court will begin hearing testimonies in the murder trial of deposed Islamist President Mohamed Morsi on Wednesday, when a former top military officer will give evidence.
In a brief session on Tuesday, the court decided to convene again on Wednesday to hear testimony from the former head of the military's Republican Guard, the unit tasked with providing security for Egypt's presidents, Agence France-Presse reported.
Morsi was present in court on Tuesday, in a soundproof docket to prevent him from interrupting the court, as he has done in previous hearings.
Morsi is facing four separate trials, and at the first hearing of another trial on Jan. 28 the defiant Islamist insisted he was still the legitimate president of Egypt.
Morsi, dressed in white prison garb, gestured at the court with a four fingered salute, the symbol of Muslim Brotherhood supporters.
Morsi and 14 co-defendants, including former aides, are accused of inciting the killing of opposition activists outside the presidential palace in December 2012, an incident that hastened his overthrow by the military almost seven months later.
He could be sentenced to death if convicted on several of the charges, which include collusion with foreign groups and incitement to murder.
His supporters say the military-installed regime has brought trumped up charges.

I'm alone here?
Fortunately Orbotix has my back with the Sphero 2B, the newest member of the Sphero family. The Sphero 2B comes with interchangeable tires and hubcaps, so you can equip it properly for whatever terrain it's on. Powered by something called AI Superdrive, Orbotix claims the 2B is "unreasonably fast and maneuverable." The "unreasonably" practically gives me goosebumps!
They've also added infrared technology so that the Sphero 2B can interact with other models to allow player vs. player games.
Orbotix is currently showing off the Sphero 2B at CES 2014 in Las Vegas. It wouldn't be CES without a vague price and release window! The 2B will be available in Fall 2014 for under $100. Check out the full press release below.

Story by Sarah Petrescu
"Canabonds," hemp theme parks and government-issue Maui Wowie—these are not just the products of pothead daydreams anymore. Victoria's fifth annual Cannabis Convention brought hemp and marijuana advocates together to discuss the potential future of ganja in Canada. Legal issues, industrial hemp franchisement and expansion of medicinal marijuana rights topped the agenda for the one-day convention at Camosun College last Sunday.
At first glance, the 100-person gathering seemed like your typical cannabis get together. Marijuana leaf insignias, patchouli-scented air and a hippy covering Peter Tosh's "Legalize It" set the tone while self-conscious college students and the odd business-type speckled the crowd.
Although the feel was casual, the agenda targeted future issues and opportunities emerging if Canada legalizes marijuana. In 2001, Canada became the first country to legalize medicinal marijuana. The following year, a Senate committee on illegal drugs recommended general legalization of cannabis, and last month the federal Liberals introduced Bill C-10, which would decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana if passed.
Ted Smith, founder of campus club Hempology 101 and the Cannabis Buyer's club, organized the conference and is already gearing up for legalization. His "Canabonds" are $25 certificates promising shareholders a quarter-ounce of "quality cannabis" once marijuana is made legal. Smith uses funds raised from the bonds for legal fees and advocacy work.
"This is a movement I am passionate about. I also have a lot at stake and that drives me to put myself fully into it," said Smith, who has been arrested four times and has battled six trafficking charges.
In the nine years Hempology 101 has been active, Smith said he has seen a huge increase in acceptance towards marijuana use. Although he is legally banned from the UVic campus for distributing pot cookies and sharing joints, Smith stays connected with club organizers.
"People used to be cautious about coming to meetings. But at one point last year, we were getting 120 people, right in the middle of the campus," said Smith, referring to the club's notorious 4:20 meetings in front of the UVic library.
"My thing is education about cannabis. Universities and colleges are places where people are already primed to learn and looking for movements they care about," said Smith.
Smith said he focuses his activist efforts at universities and colleges because he knows they are breeding grounds for future community leaders.
One cannabis-friendly community leader is Brian Taylor, editor of Cannabis Health Magazine, a former mayor of Grand Forks and keynote speaker at the conference. Taylor has a long history of marijuana advocacy in BC, namely as the leader of the Marijuana Party when they garnered 500,000 votes in the 2001 provincial election.
"To some people in my hometown I'm a resident hero and to others I'm a damn embarrassment," Taylor commented.
Taylor now focuses his advocacy on medicinal marijuana. A few years ago, his chest was crushed when a barrel landed on him. He said marijuana relieved his pain and helped him heal faster.
"My doctors couldn't believe how quickly I improved and how under control my pain was," said Taylor .
Taylor is convinced that the federal acceptance of medicinal marijuana will lead to general legalization of the plant. He thinks the government should contract more growers to provide for medicinal marijuana users and prevent them from the burden, and liability, of growing marijuana themselves.
"We already have ground on this front. Medicinal marijuana is the door we need to go through because Health Canada wants to work with us on this," said Taylor.
Another speaker at the conference is looking to cash-in on the legalization of marijuana. Brian Johnson, president of Transglobal Hemp Products Corp., wants industrial hemp to become a leading industry on Vancouver Island.
A former land development consultant, Johnson spent three-and-a-half years studying ghost towns on Vancouver Island for investors who wanted to buy abandoned commercial properties.
"I began to see some real opportunities for industrial hemp products, especially since our forest and fishing industries are falling apart," said Johnson.
Ten years ago, Johnson delved full-time into his company. Beyond industrial hemp products such as clothing, food and fuel, Johnson wants to promote hemp-seed factories as tourist attractions—kind of Hempland theme parks. He also has a movie script optioned about a young boy's discovery of an antique hemp seed-processing machine.
"Industrial hemp has limitless possibilities and it is extremely environmental. I want to make money for Vancouver Island—following the rules of government, because if cannabis does become legal in the future, we want them on our side."

I saw an ad that said "horse to loan wvtb" - that was the total wording in the ad. It was local to me so I replied to get more info.
The owner said that she was scared of Roobee and that she wanted a good home for her. As she was so close I offered to go and see Roobee and see if I could help the owner regain some confidence rather than sell her horse - well Roobee had different ideas!
After our first meeting Roobee was stuck to me like glue. After working with Roobee for a couple of weeks I said I would take her on loan for 2 months to see how things go. As Roobee was a broodmare for 4 years I did ask if she was pregnant. I was told no.
I moved this lovely Appaloosa x mare to my yard and started to do a bit of work with her. After 2 weeks I had to nurse her through impaction colic. I had stabled her ovenight and she decided that my straw was rather yummy and ate loads of it without drinking water. I called the vet out who did a rectal examination and gave her pain killers.
Roobee was brilliant. I sat all night with her, walking her every 45 minutes on the coldest night of the year, even the sandschool froze! She was ok by 6 am the following morning, but I realised that I didnt want anything bad to happen to Roobee so I decided to buy her.
On January 1st 2011 I bought Mannog Roobee Tuesday. I was so pleased! I walked her in hand and did some lunging work with her. I did finally get on her back - I was the first person to do this for nearly 5 years. After a few weeks of slow and steady handling and work we were hacking out alone and in company at walk only.
One day it took me an hour to get on board and I knew something was really wrong, so I gave her a week off. I turned her out but noticed I had to let her turnout rug out by 4 inches on the belly straps! A couple of weeks later I noticed she was oval and looking more in foal. She started to "bag up". I got the vet out Maundy Thursday to do blood tests but becuase it was Easter it took 2 weeks to get them back.
On Thursday 5th May 2011 I was told she was definately in foal and on Friday 6th May at 8.10am a strapping colt foal was born. My husband and I were both present at the birth. I was a complete mess -I cried when I knew he was alive and I really bawled when he had his first suckle and pooed.
Roobee has been a great mum and JJ (short for Jumping Jack Flash) has taken after his mum. He takes everythning in his stride and is a very handsome foal.
He is now 6 months old and is growing and filling out nicely. I have heard that a piebald trakhener stallion "covered" Roobee but no-one knows how!
JJ has been passported, microchipped, vetted and castrated. He has had his feet trimmed, rugs on, leading really well and now is tied up when groomed, rugging up and feeding.
I have never handled a pregnant mare or a foal, but Roobee and JJ have "shown" me how to do this. I am proud of what I have acheived with their help and that Roobee trusted me enough to look after her and eventually take care of her foal.
Roobee is a very special mare to me and JJ is going to go to my daughter in law (sort of) when he is weaned. She will have a lovely horse with a great temperament who loves people.
I want to thank Roobee for trusting me and having faith in me to do what is right.

Rooney urges Man Utd not to appoint Van Gaal as new manager
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has reportedly asked the club's senior officials to not appoint Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal as their manager this summer.
Media reports have claimed that Rooney has asked United board members to consider someone else instead of Van Gaal, who is the bookmakers favourite to take charge of the Old Trafford side, as he is not a fan of the Dutchman's hard-line methods.
According to Metro.co.uk, Rooney has a strong influence over the goings on at United after signing his new contract recently at the club and is hoping of using it.
Media reports claim that the striker is of the opinion that Van Gaal would overlook his chances of becoming the next captain for United and would also challenge Rooney's authority with the players.
However, it is not yet certain whether the United board members would listen to Rooney, but it is easy for them to look elsewhere as Van Gaal is still to sign anything with the club, the report added. (ANI)

Daryl L. Stahl, 87, of Hamilton, Mont., passed away Friday, Feb 21, 2014, at Marcus Daly Hospice in Hamilton.
He was born March 4, 1926, in Glentana, Mont., the son of Harry D. and Jenny Ruth (Lasater) Stahl. He was raised in the northeastern corner of the state in rural areas. His family farmed and he often talked about driving a tractor, preparing the ground for planting.

Tijuana, Mexico - A very young and tiny puppy suffering from mange and a myriad of other maladies was plucked from death's door yesterday afternoon by an independent animal rescuer.
Adriana Padilla's love for animals is so genuine and runs so deeply that her work is never done. The problem of border strays is so big, but she never gives up.
While visiting the veterinarian with one of her pets, Padilla saw an elderly gentleman holding a very small, young and obviously sick puppy. Curiosity got the best of her and she asked him what was wrong with his puppy.
The man informed her that he found the lone puppy roaming along the dangerous streets of Tijuana. He said he was unable to keep her; but did not want to leave her on the street where - like countless others - she will inevitably endure prolonged suffering until eventually meeting the sweet boon of death. As such, he was at the vet to have the puppy euthanized. By the looks of the puppy (see slideshow), she has already been suffering - with mange and malnutrition being just a couple of her afflictions.
Those of us who live in developed countries cannot comprehend this type of behavior. In fact, some might even call it callous or evil. The reality is that what this man did was an act of compassion - which is not the norm in Tijuana where people are struggling to feed their own families. Indeed, many people who see suffering stray animals literally don't "see" them; see them but ignore them; or see them and beat or kill them. When animals live in that kind of environment, and with absolutely no other alternative available, the humane thing to do is to euthanize them.
The elderly fellow who believed he was doing the right thing dropped the puppy off with the vet and put some money on the counter. Instead of euthanizing the puppy, the vet kindly bathed and dewormed her and subsequently handed her over to Padilla.
With a house brimming at the rim with her own pets, Padilla is not in a position to take on another pet. However, being the ardent animal rescuer she is and fiercely dedicated to saving as many animals as she can, she reached out to her fellow animal rescue advocates.
Eventually, Alondra Gomez, founder of Animal Rescuers Without Borders ("ARWOB"), received the plea and agreed to rescue the puppy. Not only is Gomez an animal-lover, but she has a soft spot for "mange dogs." In addition, Gomez said that her rescue will take care of all of her medical expenses. Her generosity went further. She said that if anyone pledged or wishes to donate towards this girl, you can direct your funds to another rescue in need.
This generous offer is not in vain. There is another female stray dog who desperately needs a foster and donations. Her name is Diane and she, too, was plucked off the dangerous streets of Tijuana by none other than Padilla. (Diane is depicted in the attached video.)
Baja Dog Rescue has saved a multitude of unwanted and hard-to-place strays south of the U.S. border. Diane is one of them. Many animal rescue advocates have come to rely on Baja Dog Rescue - including this author - as it does stellar work in the world of animal rescue.
If you can offer a foster home for Diane, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. If you can donate towards Diane's boarding and vet care, please go to Baja Dog Rescue and click on "Donate" to make a tax deductible contribution. Make sure you notate that your donation is for "Diane." No amount is too small.

If you're a jerk you might so go ahead and be a jerk. [The Vloggies]
It's freedom what makes the internet to such an exciting communication media. Any kind of censorship undermines the very nature of the internet. At the end of the day it's up to every site owner what content is going to be published and what not. I don't need to sign a Code of Conduct for not allowing harassing or threating comments on my blog, I certainly would delete them, as I do it with spam comments. Still, it would be my own decision if I don't agree with certain comments and therefore don't want them to be connected with my online life.

Love The Hi-Vis Labels
By Design Goddess
from Bridgeton,. NJ
I love these labels!! I use them at work to draw attention to important information that my be on flyers or newsletters I need to post or to highlight dates/times. I use them in my personal life often as an emergency numbers label for my childrens permission slips, etc. They are VERY attention grabbing but still easy to read and not harsh on the eyes.
Neon Labels almost glow in the dark!
By LindaTea23

These are so bright they really draw attention! We use them a lot in our library to help people notice notes!
Great Attention Getter
By migcin
I need to send data to various dept. in our Company and by using the different colors it gets the manager's attention and they respond faster.I wish there were more colors but these work great. I also use them when sending "care packages" to my young grandaughter, she knows if there is a colorful label on the package it is for her and from me!
Love the colors!
By AvonTracie
The size is great. I use these when prospecting. The size makes it easier to put all my information down without reducing the size. The information is visable and bright.
Great Product!
I love how the colors make the label pop on my books! It makes my information easier to see and my customer like that the printing stands out on the colors.

California UFO sightings in the wee hours of New Year's Day were reported by people in several cities. On Jan. 3, ABC News reported that authorities have addressed the issue, confirming that there hasn't been any "unusual flight activity" -- which means that the things that people were seeing could have been from outer space... you know, if you believe in that sort of thing.
"I seen like six bright orange colored lights. They were almost like in a diamond or triangle shape. It was weird. And so they started just separating," said Kaye Pinlac who took video on his iPhone. Others reported seeing similar lights in the sky but it was the way that the lights moved that suggested these weren't fizzled fireworks or falling stars.
The California UFO sightings came from Stockton, Sacramento, and Auburn as well as other cities. People all claim to have seen something similar: Hovering lights in a pattern that moved together like some sort of object in the sky.
"It was bright enough to shine directly through the trees without any problem seeing it. Whatever it was moved up and to the left… It hovered there for probably about 60 seconds, then it took off at a high rate of speed," Mr. Pinlac added. These potential UFO sightings came just days after a mysterious crop circle was discovered in the state -- check out the video above for more on that.
Were the California UFO sightings legit? Do you believe that UFOs exist?

Levels of Assessment

Program Goals

Direct and Indirect Measures
Assessment Resources for Faculty
Assessment Resources for Students
Assessment occurs at many levels throughout the college. We have goals for student learning at the college level, at the program level, at the course level, and at the section level. We have goals for particular classroom activities and we have goals for out-of-class experiences. Faculty members are probably most familiar with assessment that takes place at the section level, within a particular classroom of students. For example, a faculty member might want students to learn a new concept for a particular class day. At this level, assessment might include a number of activities, including:
These are great forms of assessment and they will give the faculty member important feedback about that day's goal for this group of students. However, this level of assessment will not tell us about how students do in the course, as a whole (we only have information from one section on one day), nor how students do in their programs. To assess our progress at these levels, we must work more collectively to find out how our students are doing as they progress through courses, through their programs, and through the college.
The levels of assessment are depicted in the diagram below. Each level represents a different level of analysis, with a different set of goals. But it is important to remember that these different sets of goals are interrelated with overlapping purposes connected to the college mission.
The most general level of learning goals exists at the college level. These goals are directly related to the college mission and vision statements and should be reflected in everything the college does (from classes and courses to athletics, food service, and facilities maintenance). Program-level goals define learning outcomes for students who complete an academic program. Course-level goals (or learner outcomes) define our expectations for what students learn by completing a particular course, regardless of who is teaching the course. Class-level goals are the most specific. These goals reflect our expectations for a specific group of students participating in a particular class experience during a specific time frame.
The class level is listed as the "lowest level," because it is the most basic level of analysis. In terms of action, however, this level is very important, because this is where direct faculty-student interaction takes place. This faculty-student interaction should serve goals at each level of analysis, including:
Thankfully, we are not aiming to measure every goal in every section of every course all of the time because that would be unrealistic. A reasonable assessment program relies on samples of potential assessment data, collected at strategic points, so that we end up with a reliable snapshot of each of our programs on a regular basis.
To illustrate the levels of assessment, examples of assessment are given in two tables below. The first table shows how goals are documented at each level and illustrates how assessments can be planned to serve goals at more than one level of analysis.
The second table lists a few more examples of types of assessments that could be performed at various levels of analysis. Some of these examples are based on assessments actually performed at Anoka-Ramsey, while others are hypothetical. This list of examples is not meant to be exhaustive because there are countless ways to assess students and some of the best are original and creative.

College Hockey:Poli Sends Brown Into ECACHL Quarters
OT Win Advances Bears Past Engineers
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — For the second consecutive night, the Brown Bears and Rensselaer Engineers traded goals in back-and-forth action. And for the second straight night, a late miscue collapsed the Engineers' hope for a series-extending win.
Saturday, just as on Friday, Brown took advantage of those Engineer errors, winning 4-3 in overtime and sweeping its playoff series with RPI.
The game winner came at 5:33 of overtime off the stick of Bears' freshman forward Chris Poli, who had two goals in the series-opening win. Poli was the beneficiary of intense forechecking pressure by linemate Rugo Santini, who forced a turnover off a failed clearing attempt. That turnover fell into Poli's lap when he was already within close range of RPI netminder Andrew Martin.
"Rugo did a great job, as he's been doing all year, of getting in on the defenseman and getting a body on him," Poli said. "Luckily the puck just squirted out to me, and I was in a good enough position that when the puck got to me that and the forward kinda gave me the near post, and I just threw it over [Martin's] shoulder."
Even with the forced turnover, though, Poli made a difficult shot on a tough angle, according to Rensselaer coach Dan Fridgen.
"[Poli] made a great shot, he put it upstairs, there wasn't much room there but he found the room," Fridgen said.
Poli's game-winning goal ended RPI's season, but it may not have been the emotional low point of the game. That dubious distinction came at 10:51 of the third period after sustained Brown pressure in the RPI end had both teams a little slow on their skates.
Brown defenseman Gerry Burke received the puck, held it in the high slot, made a nifty move around an onrushing RPI forward, and then wristed a shot through traffic that beat Martin clean. But it wasn't so much the goal itself as the one it negated that made the situation so important.
Burke's goal erased Rensselaer's only lead of the series; the Engineers had grabbed their first lead of the series earlier in the third period, the result of two quick goals in little more than a minute.
The first came off of sustained pressure in the Brown end. RPI had the puck behind Brown goalie Adam D'Alba's net but the Engineers' forwards were contained and being pressed up against the boards by Brown's defensemen.
RPI kept grinding it out, attempting to push the puck loose and start a rotation. Eventually Kirk MacDonald got a little space, pushed off from the boards and circled tightly around the net on D'Alba's left side. He fired a quick shot which was saved, but D'Alba couldn't corral the rebound and MacDonald flicked the puck up and over D'Alba's far shoulder to tie the score at 2-2 with 8:24 gone by in the third.
Sixty-eight seconds later RPI pulled ahead, this time as a result of a failed clearing attempt from Brown. The puck took an odd bounce off the boards and squirted further down into the Brown zone, where Engineer forward Kevin Croxton gathered the puck along the end line and looped around in front of D'Alba. Croxton delayed his shot, freezing D'Alba before finally firing and giving the Engineers their short-lived lead.
"I was a little disappointed with the two quick goals in the third," Brown coach Roger Grillo admitted. "But I thought the guys battled back well."
Grillo's counterpart, Fridgen agreed, saying, "Give [Brown] credit — they kept battling and they got some timely goals when they needed them."
Indeed, Rensselaer only held the lead for 1:19 before Burke's goal. But that was somewhat fitting in a series that saw each team alternate goals.
Brown's series sweep advances the Bears to the quarterfinals of the ECACHL tournament; they will travel to either Colgate or Vermont next weekend depending upon the outcome of the Yale-Dartmouth contest on Sunday.

If you are skilled enough in Heating and Air Conditioning to do your own repairs, there are specialty tools that you will need to acquire. Those tools are as follows:
• VOM Meter
• Amp Probe

From the THE AGITATOR:
I'm saddened to learn this morning that Siobhan Reynolds died over the weekend in a plane crash.
I met Reynolds several years ago when I attended a forum on Capitol Hill on the under-treatment of pain. Her story about her husband's chronic pain was so heartbreaking it moved me to take an interest in the issue. I eventually commissioned and edited a paper on the DEA and pain treatment while I was working for Cato.
Reynolds was fierce and tireless. She ran her advocacy group the Pain Relief Network on a thin budget, and often used her own money to travel to towns and cities where she felt prosecutors were unfairly targeting a doctor. And then she'd fight back. And sometimes she'd win. And the DEA and the federal prosecutors she fought weren't really accustomed to that.
There aren't very many people who can claim that they personally changed the public debate about an issue. Reynolds could. Before her crusade, no one was really talking about the under-treatment of pain. The media was still wrapped up in scare stories about "accidental addiction" to prescription painkillers and telling dramatic (and sometimes false) tales about patients whose lazy doctors got them hooked on Oxycontin. Reynolds toured the country to point out that, in fact, the real problem is that pain patients are suffering, particularly chronic pain patients. After Reynolds, the major newsweeklies, the New York Times, and a number of other national media outlets were asking if the DEA's war on pain doctors had gone too far.
Reynolds' passion stemmed from her belief that her ex-husband died because he couldn't get treatment for his chronic pain. She feared her son would contract the same condition, and face the obstacles. What infuriated her was that this was never a problem not knowing what relieves chronic pain. This wasn't about research. Her husband had found relief in high-dose opioid therapy. It's that in its efforts to stop people from getting high, the government had condemned her husband to suffer. (Watch The Chilling Effect, the movie Reynolds produced about her ex-husband's fight here.) She was tireless. I often thought she was a bit too idealistic, or at least that she set her goals to high. She told me once that she wouldn't consider her work done until the Supreme Court declared the Controlled Substances Act unconstitutional. She often frustrated efforts to build a coalition on the issue because she'd grown weary of medical organizations and academics who, while concerned about the issue, she thought were too cowardly to take a more aggressive stand.
But Reynolds started winning. She deserves a good deal of the credit for getting Richard Paey out of prison. She got sentences overturned, and got other doctors acquitted.
Of course, the government doesn't like a rabble rouser. It becomes especially wary of rabble rousers who begin to have some success. And so as Reynolds' advocacy began to move the ball and get real results, the government bit back. When Reynolds began a campaign on behalf of Kansas physician Stephen Schneider, who had been indicted for overprescribing painkillers, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tonya Treadway launched a shameless and blatantly vindictive attack on free speech. Treadway opened a criminal investigation into Reynolds and her organization, likening Reynolds' advocacy to obstruction of justice. Treadway then issued a sweeping subpoena for all email correspondence, phone records, and other documents that, had Reynolds complied, would have been the end of her organization. Treadway wanted records of Reynolds' private conversations with attorneys, doctors, and pain patients and their families. It was unconscionable Here's an activist advocating on behalf of suffering people, and the government comes along and demands she turn over accounts of her private conversations with those same people. (Some of whom undoubtedly sought out extra-legal ways to relieve their pain, since the government had made it impossible for them to legally find relief.)
So Reynolds fought the subpoena, all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. And she lost. Not only did she lose, but the government, with compliance from the federal courts, kept the entire fight secret. The briefs for the case are secret. The judges' rulings are secret. Reynolds was barred from sharing the briefs she filed with the press. Perversely, Treadway had used the very grand jury secrecy intended to protect the accused to not only take down Reynolds and her organization, but to protect herself from any public scrutiny for doing so.
It worked. The Pain Relief Network went under. Reynolds also lost a good deal of her own money. She was never charged with any crime. But that was never the point. This was a vindictive, malicious effort to silence a critic. And it was successful. (I wrote a piece for Slate on Treadway's vendetta against Reynolds.)
Despite all that, the last time I spoke with Reynolds, she working on plans to start a new advocacy group for pain patients. She was an unwearying, unwavering activist for personal freedom.
And she died fighting. Rest in peace. (See story and video)
EDITOR: Siobhan Reynolds was absolutely correct in her beliefs and accusations. Nevertheless, she was not an easy person with whom to work. It was her way or the highway!
We at Common Sense for Drug Policy were inspired by her to devote a lot of our public service advertisement to the cause of pain management reform. For more information, visit:
"Proper treatment of chronic pain, parts one and two"; " Suffering from chronic pain?, "Good news and bad new about pain treatment", "Chronic pain and opiods", "Thirty attorneys general speak out on pain management", "Zealots at DEA tore up pain guidelines", "Justice for all"
A great hero. A great cause. A tragic but nevertheless extremely productive life. 'May her memory be for a blessing.' She most certainly was among the righteous!

Do you think it would work on scars? i have a few on my legs from pooey ingrown hairs and they are such a pain! - I'd definitely try this if i had enough money! xoReplyDeleteReplies
Hmm, not sure it would work on scars, I think it's more for anti-ageing and reducing the appearance of fine lines. xDelete
I am interested in trying it out. I have a few blemishes that I would like to get rid but it seems that the products that I have tried don't seem to work. I would like to try this and see how it will work on my skin. How many sessions does it takes to make the blemishes go away? like in your case?ReplyDeleteReplies
They advise using it twice a week for at least 8 weeks so I think that would be the minimum amount before a difference would be noticed. xDelete
I heard this is a good product for anti-ageing treatment. Is this helps me to get rid of wrinkles?ReplyDelete

LODI — The FBI is searching for two suspects in two recent bank robberies in the village.
Police Chief Keith Keough said Tuesday authorities suspect the robbery of Wayne Savings Community Bank, 303 Highland Drive, on Monday and FirstMerit Bank, 209 Wooster St., on Jan. 5 were connected and executed by two people.
"We have a warrant out for two people for both robberies," he said. "There's an accomplice we're also charging."
In each robbery, a white man described as in his 20s or 30s showed a bank teller a note that demanded money and implied he had a weapon.
Both times he fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. No one was hurt in either robbery.
Keough said he expects the FBI to file federal indictments, and the local warrants would be dismissed once the suspects are found.
"The FBI is working in other states to locate them, and I think they will be in custody very soon," he said.

Utah appeals to U.S. Supreme Court in gay marriage case
Alex Brandon, Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to weigh in on its law banning same-sex marriage that two lower courts have struck down, becoming the first of several cases likely to reach the justices in the coming months.
The Utah Attorney General's Office filed the petition with the high court, saying Kitchen v. Herbert is the ideal vehicle to decide whether the Constitution compels states to adopt a single marriage policy that allows people to "marry the person of their choice," as the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed in June.
The state argues that ruling deprives Utah voters of their right to define marriage as they overwhelmingly did in passing Amendment 3 a decade ago.
Utah asks the Supreme Court to answer a single question: "Whether the 14th Amendment prohibits a state from defining or recognizing marriage only as the legal union between a man and a woman."
The petition says the issue has percolated long enough, with dozens of cases challenging state marriage laws and erratic use of stays creating legal chaos. Only the Supreme Court can lift the "vast cloud covering this entire area of the law," the state argued.
"It comes down to this: Thousands of couples are unconstitutionally being denied the right to marry, or millions of voters are being disenfranchised of their vote to define marriage," the state wrote.
Attorney General Sean Reyes said he has a responsibility to defend the state Constitution and its amendments as Utahns have enacted them.
"We recognize this litigation has caused uncertainty and disruption and have accordingly tried to expedite its resolution as quickly as possible by filing our petition a full month and a half before its Sept. 23 due date," Reyes said.
"Utah welcomes a speedy grant of the petition and a Supreme Court merits decision, as all Utah citizens will benefit when the Supreme Court provides clear finality on the important issue of state authority to define marriage."
Peggy Tomsic, an attorney for the three gay and lesbian couples who sued Utah over its marriage law, said in a statement that she respects the state's right to appeal to the high court. But she "vehemently" disagrees with the notion that states can deny "one of the most foundational rights" to millions of same-sex couples across the country.
Tomsic and National Center for Lesbian Rights legal director Shannon Minter said they would review the petition and file a response.
The petition doesn't necessarily mean the high court will hear Utah's case. The justices could have at least six appellate decisions to consider if they take up gay marriage again in the court's next term, beginning Oct. 6.
The court upended part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act in Windsor v. U.S last summer. Utah's is the first same-sex marriage case to be appealed to the Supreme Court since that decision.
The 10th Circuit in Denver overturned same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma in June and July, respectively, while the 4th Circuit did the same in Virginia last week. The 6th Circuit in Cincinnati will hear arguments Wednesday. The 7th Circuit in Chicago is set for arguments on Aug. 26, and the 9th Circuit in San Francisco for Sept. 8.
Marc Solomon, national campaign director of Freedom to Marry, said Utah's filing paves the way for the Supreme Court to bring a national resolution on marriage.
"Every day, hundreds of thousands of same-sex couples and their children are suffering the tangible harms of not being free to marry. The sting of discrimination and the crazy quilt of marriage laws are not just wrong but unconstitutional. The momentum is clear, the hardships of denial are real, and the country is ready for the high court to act," Solomon said in a statement.

Johnson & Johnson is under fire once again with a massive recall of Tylenol medications, the fourth recall for McNeil (a division of Johnson & Johnson) in the last seven months. The FDA is checking out reports of over 700 serious side effects from drugs that have been the target of the recalls by McNeil. Of those reports 30 resulted in death, but so far cannot be tied to the recalled drugs. May 1st found McNeil recalling 50 chidren's versions of the medications following several reports concerning serious side effects and 7 deaths.
The first recall happened in November 2009 when some of the Tylenol Arthritis Pain 100 count was noted to have a suspicious odor that lead to vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. By December, a second recall was issued to include all of the bottles of the arthritis medication. At the start of 2010, a third recall was made to include not only Tylenol, but Motrin and other varieties of medicine after consumer reports about illness stemming from an odor.
With it's once golden reputation now tarnished, Johnson & Johnson has suspended all production at the McNeil Fort Washington plant. McNeil is vowing to get back to the status of high quality production, something Johnson & Johnson demands from it's companies. An indepenent pharmaceutical consulting firm has been hired to help identify and make corrective changes to improve the quality and manufacturing of the Fort Washington plant. Congressional hearings will be held on Thursday about the McNeil product recalls.

Occlusal splints are used for the management of temporomandibular disorders, although their mechanism of action remains controversial. This study investigated whether insertion of an occlusal splint leads to condyle-fossa distance changes, and to mandibular rotation and/or translation. By combining magnetic resonance images with jaw tracking (dynamic stereometry), we analyzed the intra-articular distances of 20 human temporomandibular joints (TMJs) before and after insertion of occlusal splints of 3 mm thickness in the first molar region. For habitual closure, protrusion, and laterotrusion in the contralateral joint, occlusal splints led to minor--yet statistically significant--increases of global TMJ space and to larger increases at defined condylar areas. Condylar end rotation and translation in habitual closure were reduced. Hence, the insertion of a 3-mm-thick occlusal splint led to a change in the topographical condyle-fossa relationship, and therefore to a new distribution of contact areas between joint surfaces.

Government support – on both the federal and state level – has been crucial to the Currier for almost 30 years. Most recently, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) supported the Currier's accessibility efforts, providing funding for our current expansion of the online collections catalog.
In 2011 the NEA supported programming related to the exhibition Jon Brooks: A Collaboration with Nature. The NEA also provides funds to the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts (NHSCA), which in turn has been a great supporter of the Currier. The NHSCA awarded a two-year general operating grant to the museum for 2014-2015.

Having cruised Alaska several times I found the same ports to be nice but lacking on some of the different activities and scenery we really wanted to see. So I looked at all of the cruises to see what ports are offered on the big ships that we've not stopped to visit. I specifically looked at the big ships as they stick to a pretty much regimented port of call schedule where the smaller ships may skip ports more often to meet customer and wildlife demands.
Kodiak, Alaska is the one port we'd not visited that I really wanted to see via ship or even for that matter by just flying in. Via ship the options are pretty limited. In 2014 for instance there are only a handful of stops made by Holland America ships. These are some of the smaller big ships sailing in Alaska and that is critical in the smaller ports such as Kodiak. Well Kodiak, rates as a bigger port when compared to some of the very small Southeast Alaska ports of call such as Skagway.
For 2013 I didn't see any big ships making the port of call. We wanted to go anyhow so we did by flying in. It was a great visit to a nice fairly small town. Although it's small it's full of modern stores and other conveniences making Kodiak a great place to visit. We went to fish, see the area from the road system, and to try to fly out to remote bear viewing areas. Unfortunately the foggy weather on our fly out day made going bear viewing a wish that did not come true.
Having now spent a couple week at Kodiak we have a good idea of what is there to see and do. Having also cruised Alaska we know how it works when a ship stops in a port in Alaska for a day of exploring. Kodiak, the town, being a smaller port without too many things to do, at least in terms of tourist traps does make for a good cruise ship stopping spot. Of course Kodiak is also a huge island, that can't all be visited in one day.
As a cruise ship passenger a tour of town with some associated wild life viewing is a great option. Head out to some of the areas outside of town where you can see Bald Eagles and other wildlife and enjoy the nice cool weather. Take a boat ride to see marine wildlife including whales. Personally I've seen more whales on fishing trips than thru any other mechanism and because we just watched them as we cruised or fished it was better than on a whale watching vessel. There are also many opportunities, depending on the length of time the ship is there, to go fishing for big halibut and salmon.
Remember Kodiak is not a tourist trap town. As such don't expect to easily find souvenir shops…instead one must go shop at Kodiak Marine Supply or Maks outdoors store. They do have some touristy shirts for sale there but generally speaking there is not much in the way of tourist things to buy there. Have fun when your ship stops in Kodiak.
We enjoy chatting about cruises with folks and especially helping them to pick a memorable cruise experience, especially when it is a once in a lifetime vacation for them. We recommend signing up for alerts to new articles on this and other cruise related topics. We typically publish at least once per week and more often when breaking cruise news warrants additional articles.

Every stoner dreams of the day when he discovers a fat crop of deep-woods Kush in the middle of nowhere.
Unfortunately, it is always the straight-laced citizens that win these types of herbal lotteries -- not the cannabis connoisseurs. The added travesty is that these events typically create major marijuana droughts for about a 200-mile radius.
This will undoubtedly be the case for potheads living anywhere near Creek County, Oklahoma. That's because authorities say that over the weekend, a hunter discovered nearly $1 million worth of marijuana growing near a wooded area somewhere off State Highway 33. Of course, instead of just enjoying a jackpot of free weed, the hunter put in a call to the local Sheriff's department.
When deputies, along with wildlife officials, arrived on the scene, they saw a man running away from the crop, but they were unable to catch up to him for questioning. They did manage to gain control of a substantial amount of marijuana -- valued at around $810,000.
Unfortunately, and this is where the story takes a sad turn, authorities doused the plants in diesel fuel and watched as the entire harvest went up in smoke. Rumor has it that echoes of a man screaming, "You bastards!" could be heard throughout the woods (not really).

18:40, UK, Saturday 28 November 2009
Detectives have refused to rule out arson as the cause of a blaze that killed a mother and her "beautiful" three-year-old girl in their flat.
Neighbours said the woman killed in the "tragic" fire was Tara-Jane Mallon, believed to be in her 30s, and her daughter.
The second floor flat was also hit by a fire this time last year, officers at the cul-de-sac in Earlsfield, south-west London said.
Ms Mallon's partner Lee returned home in his four-wheel drive Mercedes several hours after the blaze, a 25-year-old neighbour who did not want to be named said.
"Police officers greeted him and took his keys out of the car. I was standing outside and saw him bend over as the policeman spoke to him," she said.
"I was told that he was taken away by police later."
Police would not comment on her claims, including an allegation that a bed had been put across the door of the room where the mother and daughter died.
Emergency services were only made aware of the fire after a woman living below Ms Mallon saw a "huge red glow" out of her window, having earlier heard shouting, a 32-year-old resident who lived nearby said.
"It was a very volatile relationship," she added.
"The mother and her partner have been living there for at least three years and they argued a lot."
Detective Superintendent Michael McNally said there had been no arrests so far and the priority is establishing how the blaze started.
