It was midwifed by the Carnegie Corporation, with the Ford Foundation, Open Society Institute, the Mertz Gilmore Foundation and the John S and James L Knight Foundation as founding members . The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation joined up recently. The Partnership for Higher Education in Africa (PHEA) is another stellar example in collaborative investment. Indian grant-making and NGO activities are still centred on 'independent activity' and 'isolated impact'. The SSIR paper argues that the shift from "isolated impact to collective impact is not merely a matter of encouraging more collaborations or public-private partnerships. It requires a systemic approach to social impact that focuses on the relationships between organisations and the progress towards shared objectives."

There were nine on our family farm: five children, my parents and my mother's parents. There were also one or two hired men at times. When we were older, our friends' daughter came and stayed for a school year until she graduated from high school with my oldest sister. So there was always room for one or two more to eat or sleep, and we were brought up to share.
My earliest Christmas memory was when I got "Toodles," who had a composition head and a stuffed cloth body. My father would go with a horse-drawn sled or wagon on runners to the nearest larger town at Christmas, and a clerk named Mamie would select one item for each of us. I never remember my mother going, as my father always did all the shopping. The only time we went along was when we had to be fitted for shoes.
My three older siblings attended country school, and I remember what a treat it was to be allowed to visit. Later I met the teacher and she recalled my visits. By then a public school in town had been built so I started first grade there. We went in a horse-drawn bus-wagon with side curtains-it had wheels in good weather and runners in winter. My mother heated soapstones in the oven so our feet would stay warm. I must have been able to read when I started as I was 6 in March, and I was promoted to second grade after a few weeks. At home, I loved to play school.
In about 1920, we had a Dodge car with side curtains and running boards. We were moving to Wisconsin that fall, so in the summer, we set out- five children and our parents, to visit relatives in Minnesota. At one stage of the trip, we had a great deal of rain, and we ended up leaving the car and taking a train to Elbow Lake. Traveling with five children must have been quite an adventure.
In the fall of the year, it was a large event when the steam powered threshing rig came to thresh the shocks of grain from the field. The neighbors helped, and the men in our family helped when it was their turn. There were about a dozen extra men to feed for a couple of days. This meant a lot of food to cook and dishes to wash. We didn't have modern conveniences, so Mother put a wash bench outside with a pail of water, soap and towels and the men washed there before coming in to eat. I am not sure at what age I started washing dishes with my grandmother. We had two metal dishpans on the table; I washed and she wiped.
Now that I am in my 80s, I realize how much work my mother did. She was a seamstress before she was married and she had a domestic treadle machine on which she made all our clothes: dresses and coats, bloomers, etc. My grandmother pieced quilts by hand and made braided wool rugs for our bedrooms, which were very heavy to shake out of the windows every Saturday morning. She also crocheted doilies and knitted lace edgings for pillowcases. I am glad I had the experience of learning from my mother. It came in very handy after I had my two daughters.
Living on the farm probably taught me to appreciate more the conveniences we now have and to enjoy life to the fullest while we are young-I know I never missed what I didn't have!

Back in 1955 a call went out from the editors of the then Capper's Weekly asking for readers to send in articles on true pioneers. Hundreds of letters came pouring in from early settlers and their children, many now in their 80s and 90s, and from grandchildren of settlers, all with tales to tell. So many articles were received that a decision was made to create a book, and in 1956, the first My Folks title – My Folks Came in a Covered Wagon – hit the shelves. Nine other books have since been published in the My Folks series, all filled to the brim with true tales from Capper's readers, and we are proud to make those stories available to our growing online community.

Whereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it.

Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive.
Noah Webster (1758 - 1843)
Source: An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787).
When the real history of mankind is fully disclosed, will it feature the echoes of gunfire or the shaping sound of lullabies? The great armistices made by military men of the peacemaking of women in home and in neighborhoods? Will what happened in cradles and kitchens prove to be more controlling than what happened in congresses? When the surf of the centuries has made the great pyramids so much sand, the everlasting family will still be standing, because it is a celestial institution, formed outside telestial time.

By Jeff Rowland
Throughout the years, I've been astonished more than once at the size of a meal that a bass will attempt to take.
The first time, I was bass fishing an abandoned clear water rock quarry. There were no boats allowed in this pristine and secluded body of water and it had to be fished from the shore. This place had a reputation for producing nice, largemouths and was always a fun and special place to fish. Using an eight-inch, purple Mann's Jelly Worm, rigged Texas-style, I was pitching into a fallen tree, when I hooked up with a nice little bass in the two-pound range. My cast had gone over a fallen log, so to get the fish in I had to hoist it over the obstacle to prevent a snag or line break. Just as the fish cleared the log, another largemouth came over that log and attacked my catch. This fish was probably pushing seven or eight pounds; it had my catch sideways in its mouth and was trying hard to turn it to swallow it down. I popped the bail open to see what would happen next and after several seconds of being jaw-clamped the smaller bass worked its way out of the bigger fish's mouth and the predator swam away. I couldn't believe that the larger bass would even attempt to quench its hunger with a fish about a quarter of its size. I weigh in at about a buck seventy and if you compared this event with proportions of a human level, it would be like me eating 42 pounds of food at one sitting.
The second time I witnessed this phenomenon, I was wade fishing a river for smallmouths. One of my co-workers, who wasn't a seasoned angler, had heard me talk about the river smallies and wanted to see what it was all about. We had been there for about a half hour when he caught his first-ever bronze back. The fish was around four pounds; after he landed it and started to remove the hook, he asked me a curious question, "Why does a smallmouth have a forked tongue?" I replied that they don't have forked tongues to which he replied, "Well, this one does." I waded over to look and what I saw was not a forked tongue, but the tail of a shad protruding out of the fish's stomach. My next move was a mistake because I'm a firm believer in doing my best to preserve the mortality of caught fish to ensure a healthy release. What I was about to do could easily jeopardize the fish's recovery, but my curiosity was high and I had to see just how big this shad was. I grabbed my needle-nose and pulled the shad out from the smallie's stomach. It was easily over a foot long and was at least a fourth of the fish's weight. The thought of that fish having a full stomach and still going after more food astonished me and had me creating theories in my mind about this kind of behavior.
Both instances were a few weeks post spawn and both species were female…there must be time frames when post spawn females go through gorging periods to recover. I don't know if that theory is true, but as the years passed, I began to apply my theory during post spawn times and began to throw bigger lures. Changing to bigger lures has turned some pretty nice fish for me through the years and having these lures in your arsenal of tackle is not a bad idea.
There are a number of different lures an angler can try if they choose to go down the "big" path.
Swim Baits
Working at Bass Pro Shop, I have seen this lure become very popular and it seems every season we are stretching space to add more swim baits. There are many options in this category from soft plastic to seasoned, hard baits. These days, size is up to you. There are many very large swim baits in today's market and don't forget to check out the Muskie aisle. Many bass anglers are using big Muskie swim baits with success.
Worms and lizards
These lures in the 10 to 12 inch range are proven oldies, can be used in many different depths, and are very versatile. They can be dropped weightless into cover or drug on the bottom with a worm weight. They can be rigged Carolina-style and fished liked a swim bait or with a slow steady retrieve.
Bass Jigs & (the old thirty-nine twelve)
I don't have any data to back this, but I believe this lure has probably produced more big bass than any other big lure. I like using jigs in the ½ oz. to ¾ oz. range and I like to put on the biggest honkin' trailer I can find. Like the worm rig, you can get crazy versatile with this lure. It can be swam with a drop pause method, pitched into brush, fished on the bottom or just a slow, steady retrieve with an occasional pause. My most productive way is to count down as soon as the lure splashes and work different depths with a steady retrieve, then pause and use a method I call "3912." During the pause, I give the rod three quick pulls with my rod tip moving from 9 to 12 o'clock. After the third pull, I let the lure drop for about a half second then repeat the method. Most strikes occur on the drop. If you've ever watched a crawfish retreat in fear it has a very similar appearance to how this lure appears using the old 3912 method.
Big Top Waters
These lures are my absolute favorite to throw. In my youth, I learned about catching largemouths fishing farm ponds from the shore and it didn't take long to figure out that big bass love to use the shoreline to trap their prey. I started throwing top waters about two feet away from the bank with a parallel cast. This method not only proved to be productive, but a whole lot of fun, too. Of course, top waters can be used many other ways, but don't be afraid of trying this "close to the shore" method. Casting towards stickups is also productive. Once again, there are many large top waters to try; my favorites are the Zara Spook, XPS Pro Buzz, and the Bass Pro Lazer Eye Buzz Master.
All of these lures can be productive and if you don't already have them as part of your inventory you may be missing out on something… BIG!

E. Ky. high school offers year-round black history
A teacher at an eastern Kentucky high school says students have responded well to the first yearlong course on black history.
History teacher Amy Madsen said she asked to teach the subject at George Rogers Clark High School in Winchester and after going through a process where the idea was vetted, she got approval to begin teaching the subject this school year.
Madsen told The Winchester Sun that the class allows students to study more than just a brief overview of black history during one month out of the school year.
The curriculum has included novels, such as "The Color of Water" and educational movies like "A Raisin in the Sun."

Description: Unreal Tournament 3 - DM-CathAlmost all textures and static meshes are custom made.
The author tried to make a good mix between graphics and a solid, fastpaced competitive gameplay. The original thought with the map was to create an uninterrupted flow using a layout shaped like the number 8. Additionally, a strong vertical game style was adopted to complement the core gameplay of UT3.
Powerups are placed on separate sides of the level to force the player in control to move around. The shieldbelt is in an particularly exposed spot.
The map is made with 1on1 or 2on2 gameplay in mind, but it works with more players and ffa as well.

NIC hires new financial aid director
Return to news room
North Idaho College has selected Theresa Beres, who has more than 11 years working in financial aid for colleges, as its new financial aid director. In her career, Beres has worked in a variety of financial aid positions including more than five years as a director.
"Theresa brings a breadth and depth of experience in financial aid to North Idaho College," said Linda Michal-Hawks, who led the NIC selection committee to fill the position. "She has a strong technical background and balances that with a sincere commitment to students and their success. We're excited to have her join us."
Beres completed a master's degree in business administration from Belford University in April. She also holds a bachelor's degree and associate's degree from Eastern New Mexico University.
Beres began her financial aid career in 1995 as a part-time worker in the financial aid office at Eastern New Mexico University. In five years there, she worked her way up to serve as a full-time supervisor, learning facilitator and mentor.
She later was the financial aid director at Donnelly College in Kansas City, Kan., for one year before an opening in the financial aid office at Eastern New Mexico University brought her back as the college's new director for more than three years.
Beres most recently served for nearly two years as the director of financial aid for Mesalands Community College in Tucumcari, N.M.
Beres will start at NIC July 17.

In a move that could push video calls into the mainstream, Facebook on Wednesday announced that its 750 million users can now video chat with each other through its website.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg, declaring the new feature "super awesome," said the one-on-one video-communication tool, dubbed Video Calling, is the next logical step in connecting people. The feature is just the first of many new social apps that will soon blossom across Facebook's network.
"Today is the beginning of Launching Season 2011," Zuckerberg told a group of journalists, bloggers and employees at Facebook's headquarters in Palo Alto.
Video Calling -- limited to two-party conversations and unavailable on mobile devices at least for now -- pits Facebook squarely against other free video apps like Hangout, the Google (GOOG)+ feature, and Apple's (AAPL) FaceTime. Zuckerberg described it as the first dramatic offering in a slew of social-networking tools that will become everyday fixtures on the Internet, fundamentally changing the way we relate to one another online.
"Consumers will love this," said Susan Etlinger, an industry analyst with Altimeter Group who was on hand for the announcement. "There's a horse race brewing between Google and Facebook. And while Google has an advantage with Hangout being able to do group video chats, Facebook has learned a lot about how people share. And sharing is what makes this all come together, because that's more important than things like how many apps you have."
While some bloggers test-driving the new tool reported bugs in installing it and connecting calls, Etlinger and others found Video Calling, at least in concept, to be practically beguiling, with its intuitive ease of use and seamless interface. Writing for the blog TechCrunch, Michael Arrington said "if you want to have a one-on-one video chat, and your friend list is hosted at Facebook, the new Facebook video chat is a near perfect product."
During a demo, Facebook engineer Philip Su used Video Calling to call up a colleague. By clicking the chat tab or a friend's profile page, he said, it was a cinch to connect immediately with a friend, "and you're off and talking.''
The feature, available on both Windows and Mac PCs, works only between Facebook friends. After first setting up a text chat with a friend, you click the video camera in the top blue bar. If your friend accepts the call -- or if it's their first time, downloads the software, which takes about 20 seconds -- the screen will show your friend in the main window with you in a smaller box.
Video calling has long been a staple of science fiction and futurists' forecasts. But it's struggled to gain mainstream adoption among consumers despite being available in consumer devices and services for years and being long used by many large corporations.
That may be changing. In the past year several big tech companies have pushed to make the technology more accessible to consumers. Apple launched FaceTime last year with the iPhone 4 and has included the application on tens of millions of handheld devices and computers sold since then. Skype, whose video chat service originally worked on PCs running the company's software, has recently extended the ability to make Skype video calls to millions of mobile devices. And last week, Google announced that video calling would be integral to its new Google+ social network.
Even excluding all the new mobile users, technology research firm IDC expects the number of U.S. users of video calling services to more than double to 103 million, or 42 percent of the online population, by 2015.
"This is going to open video chat to a whole new set of users who probably wouldn't have had any interest before or gone through the technical hurdles" to use it, said Michael Gartenberg, an analyst with technology research firm Gartner.
At Facebook's announcement, Zuckerberg brought up Skype CEO Tony Bates, who said his company started working with Facebook on the app six months ago, calling the collaboration "nothing but a joy. There's no finer tech platform to stick your technology on than Facebook.''
Bates said Video Calling could eventually incorporate some of Skype's paid products, but neither he nor Zuckerberg elaborated. Skype charges users to make calls to traditional phone numbers and for services such as group video conferencing.
One big shortcoming in Facebook's new service: Facebook users won't be able to call people running the Skype application or vice versa. Rick Osterloh, Skype's head of product design, said the company planned to add that capability within a few months.
Zuckerberg prefaced his introduction of Video Calling by breaking down the history of social networking into five-year increments, the past five being an initial period of infrastructure build-out. Now's the time, said Zuckerberg, to start plugging in the software that will release its inherent value.
With the amount of online sharing growing at what Zuckerberg called an "exponential rate," he said companies seeking to expand their own social networking efforts will soon develop their own apps, piggybacking on the friend-focused obsession that has defined Facebook, which has created a worldwide user base of 750 million.
"Now that the social networking infrastructure is in place," he said, "all sorts of independent developers and companies will build on top of this.''

Service: Video calling
What it is: One-to-one and group video calling service
Devices it works on: Windows, Mac and Linux computers; the latest Apple iOS devices; Android smartphones; TVs from Samsung and Panasonic

PARKERSBURG - Paws filled the park Saturday morning for the annual Elinor K. Ross Walk Your Paws fundraiser for the Humane Society of Parkersburg.
Approximately 200 dogs of all types - and their people - gathered at City Park for the 20th annual fundraiser, which helps support the shelter and the animals it cares for, said Maryann Hollis, the society's executive director.
"We couldn't have asked for a better day," Hollis said of the sunny Saturday morning in City Park.

Money raised during and for Saturday's event will be used by the humane society to assist with spay and neuter programs, food for the dogs and cats and for vaccinations.
Vienna resident Judy Whited brought her dog, Taylor, to Saturday's event after finding a flyer for Walk Your Paws at her vet's office.
"We thought it was a good cause because Taylor's a retired service dog," Whited said, adding it was her first time at Walk Your Paws.
"I think it's great and I like that they have a variety of vendors here. There are free samples so that we can try different things for our dogs that might be better for them," Whited said.
"It's a good event," said Veto resident Gary H. Bradley, a volunteer at the shelter in Parkersburg who brought his wife and their three dogs to Saturday's event.
Hollis said the theme for Saturday's Walk was "Cops and Slobbers," which celebrated the area's first responders who help the humane society and the community's animals. Representatives from several local police and fire departments walked at the head of the parade around the center of City Park which is the showcase of each year's Walk Your Paws.
"We're recognizing our local law enforcement and fire departments for the help they give us," Hollis said. "I don't think a lot of people realize what they do for us, but they do a lot."
In addition to the one-lap Walk, Saturday's program included vendors and exhibitors displaying a variety of pet-related services and programs. There were also some vendors with people-related products, Hollis said.
The humane society had a number of dogs present who are available for adoption from the shelter. The Walk also included some games and contests, including "pet lookalike," "best trick" and "best costume."
Dave and Phyllis Blavos, of Parkersburg, brought their two Shih Tzus, Cammy and Gizmo, to Saturday's event dressed in orange prison uniforms and trailing lengths of plastic orange chain to fit with the day's theme.
"We've entered them ever since we've had the dogs," Phyllis Blavos said. "It's fun for them and it's a great fundraiser for the humane society."
The goal for this year's walk was $35,000 and approximately $33,000 was raised Saturday, Hollis said. All of the money raised through corporate sponsors, groups and individuals who donate and participate in the Walk goes to support the shelter operations and its discount spay and neuter programs.

The Scarlet Letter
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Scarlet Letter Chapter 14 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
Quote 7
"What evil have I done the man?" asked Roger Chillingworth again. (14.16)
Uh, well, you've tortured him into a living death? Chillingworth raises an important question, though—not "what evil have I done the man?" but "Who gets to decide what counts as sin?" Chillingworth doesn't think he's done anything wrong, but Dimmesdale has a different opinion: he sees Chillingworth's sin as way worse than his or Hester's.
Quote 8
"Yea, woman, thou sayest truly!" cried old Roger Chillingworth, letting the lurid fire of his heart blaze out before her eyes. "Better had he died at once! Never did mortal suffer what this man has suffered. And all, all, in the sight of his worst enemy! He has been conscious of me. He has felt an influence dwelling always upon him like a curse. He knew, by some spiritual sense,—for the Creator never made another being so sensitive as this,—he knew that no friendly hand was pulling at his heart-strings, and that an eye was looking curiously into him, which sought only evil, and found it. But he knew not that the eye and hand were mine! With the superstition common to his brotherhood, he fancied himself given over to a fiend, to be tortured with frightful dreams, and desperate thoughts, the sting of remorse, and despair of pardon; as a foretaste of what awaits him beyond the grave. But it was the constant shadow of my presence!—the closest propinquity of the man whom he had most vilely wronged! —and who had grown to exist only by this perpetual poison of the direst revenge! Yea, indeed!—he did not err!—there was a fiend at his elbow! A mortal man, with once a human heart, has become a fiend for his especial torment!" (14.18)

AbstractWe review the recent progress in the investigation of powerfree words, with particular emphasis on binary cubefree and ternary squarefree words. Besides various bounds on the entropy, we provide bounds on letter frequencies and consider their empirical distribution obtained by an enumeration of binary cubefree words up to length 80.

A Must Read - Share
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - More than a decade after Argentina's epic financial collapse of 2001-02, many investors are rushing for the door once again. From big Chinese and Brazilian companies like miner Vale do Rio Doce SA, to small-business owners and savers, the fear of a new crisis has led to canceled investments and suitcases of cash leaving the country. The mass exodus, which has been limited only by leftist President Cristina Fernandez's capital controls, is threatening to undermine Latin America's No. 3 economy even further by leaving it short of hard currency and new jobs.

Focusing on MATE.Submitted by Eric Turgeon on Sun, 03/16/2014 - 15:50
When I started this project at the time Nahuel joined me, GhostBSD was about having the best Gnome desktop experience, today having a bunch of desktop that do not work correctly with BSD. Gnome 3 had not seen ports yet, because it is basically made for GNU/Linux. I had make a critical decision lately with the rest of the team to abandon all the other desktops in favor of MATE, which is the most suitable solution for GhostBSD a workstation. The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2 desktop Environment with huge improvement.

Best boiler brands
If you want to buy the best boiler, read on as we reveal the boiler brands you can trust. Once you know the best brands, pick the right model for your home using our boiler reviews.
We ask more than 10,000 boiler owners every year about the brand they own, how satisfied they are with it and whether their boiler has suffered any faults or breakdowns. We also ask more than 100 trusted boiler engineers what they think of each manufacturer and how likely they are to recommend boilers from each brand.
The results enable us to recommend the best and worst brands. In this guide we share what we've learnt about each of them.
After you have chosen the best brand, make sure you read our 5 things you need to know before you buy a new boiler, before you make your final purchasing decision.
Best and worst boiler brands
Below, we've collated the results of our annual reliability survey and the results of our annual boiler engineers survey so that you can see which brands are the most reliable, have the highest customer score, have the best build quality according to boiler engineers and are the most likely to be recommended by boiler engineers who are not incentivised to install boilers from that brand.
Which? members should log in now to unlock the scores in the table. If you're not already a Which? member, try full access for one month with a £1 trial and discover the benefits of having thousands of product test results at your fingertips.

Choosing the best boiler brand
In May 2015 we surveyed 10,779 Which? members online to ask them about their boilers. We asked them to tell us about any breakdowns, problems and annoyances with their boiler and from this we determined the reliability rating for each brand.
We also asked them to assess how satisfied they were, and how likely they would be to recommend their brand of boiler (regardless of their experience of getting the boiler installed). These two questions form the basis of the Which? customer satisfaction score.
As well as gathering the views of people who own each brand of boiler, we also collect the views of heating engineers who work with boilers every day. In March 2015 we asked 110 Which? Trusted Trader heating engineers about their views on boiler build quality, their likelihood to recommend a boiler brand, the availability of parts and spares, and how easy it is to fix a common fault with each brand of boiler. We show how likely they'd be to recommend each brand, above.
If you would like to read about engineers' views in more detail, see boiler brands rated by heating engineers.

WWE Diva Cameron (real name Ariane Andrew) has been suspended by WWE as part of the fallout of her 8/24 DUI arrest.
Andrew had been on tour in Australia as WWE learned of the arrest while the Raw crew was en route on the tour. She was pulled prior to the third and final date.
There was a lot of heat on her for the company finding out about the arrest from online reports, as opposed to her informing them of the issue. Another factor was the embarrassment of being part of the first act featured on the new WWE children's series, Saturday Morning Slam.

So I've already created a live WordPress site. I simply want to take files from that live WordPress site, so that I can work on them locally.
When I try to go through using MAMP, it eventually asks me to a page to recreate the site again (localhost:8888). It takes me to the WordPress Welcome page that asks me for the "Site Title", username, password, ect.
I don't want to create a new site. I want to take the site I have live and save the files locally for testing purposes. How can I go about doing this?

Canine College
One of the assigned projects for the AKC Judging Task Force is to investigate various distance-learning possibilities. The creation and development of a virtual, computer-based simulation of a judging experience could be of significant value in the education and evaluation of aspiring judges. This document will briefly describe a basic model whose framework could be used for multiple purposes. It cannot replace all the valuable hands-on ways of learning about dogs and judging, but it can be an efficient and effective component of an educational journey.
The Basic Model
On a computer screen, the participant is shown a class of six dogs, one by one, with a series of photographs showing side views, front, rear, head, and breed specific examination perspectives, and videos of movement, including down and back and around the ring for each dog. The participant chooses which images to view, and then places the first four dogs in order, first through fourth.
To determine the "correct" answers, the instrument would be given to ten different breed experts (chosen by the Parent Club), and their placings combined to form a consensus ranking of the six dogs. There would not be just one correct answer, rather a range of acceptable placements.
Multiple Purposes
The basic model could be used for a variety of functions and multiple options.
- Judges education
The participant could compare his or her answers to the preferred responses of the breed experts. The breed experts could be asked to record their explanation for each of their placements, and the participant could learn why the dogs should be placed in a particular order.
- Judges evaluation
The participant's score -- how well his choices matched those of the experts -- would be useful data for consideration by the Judges Review Committee for an aspiring or applying judge. The participant could explain his choices, which would provide evidence as to how well he knows the breed.
- Judges recertification
Should there come a time when it would be appropriate for a judge to demonstrate his competence, comparing his scores and explanations to those of his peers would provide objective evidence of his breed knowledge -- or lack thereof. A diligent judge may want to self-assess his abilities to evaluate a breed, especially if it has been some time since he judged them, or has a big assignment coming up. (see also 6. Practice sessions below)
- Field Representative education
This model should help aspiring or potential Field Reps to enhance their learning on the large number of breeds that they need to know and understand in order to perform their job well, and would be a good review tool for the continuing education of all Field Reps.
- Breeder education
While most breeders and exhibitors would be interested in knowing what judges are taught, the model could be modified to include validated expert breeder opinions on the reasons for placements from a breeding or breed function point of view.
- Practice sessions
After increasing the pool of examined dogs in the model to avoid duplication or memorization of the actual evaluation, aspiring judging applicants could test themselves before applying, both to improve their placing abilities and to see whether they are ready for advancement.
- "You Be The Judge" game
With appropriate simplifications, the model could be a potentially popular game with the public, letting gamers compete and compare their top scores with others on-line.
Advanced Options
- Increasing the number of dogs entered in the class from six to eight would increase the number of different ways four dogs could be placed from 360 to more than 1,600. Validating the ranking would still be straightforward. Obtaining cogent expert commentary with so many choices would be more challenging.
- Creating of pool of twenty dogs from which six are randomly selected could help mitigate the possible "memorization" or sharing of preferred answers.
- A time limit in the evaluation mode would come closer to the real world pressures of judging in the ring.
- In future years, more dog examples could be added and placements and commentary could be updated.
Necessary Ingredients
To make these models work, cooperation and participation of breed Parent Clubs is essential. Here is what would be requested of the clubs:
- Six (or more) dogs with good quality images, standing and in motion.
- Similar to the old "Hands-On Test", prefer two examples of good quality, two of average quality, and two of mediocre quality.
- Prefer dogs or handlers not be recognizable, or may use one handler for many or all dogs.
- Dogs are to be in show trim and condition, properly trained and handled.
- A list of 10 breed expert judges willing to participate.
- Identify and photograph any breed specific features normally examined in the ring.
Known Challenges
- This would not duplicate the touch and feel of an actual dog examination, especially in coated breeds.
- With so many breeds to cover, this will be a large project and potentially very expensive and time consuming.
- Parent Clubs will vary in their ability to provide dogs, images, and impartial experts in a timely manner.
- There will be difficulties obtaining uniform presentations of the dogs, both in one breed and across many breeds.
- We need to avoid promoting recognizable dogs.
- Who will grade the explanations of placements, and how will that be done?
- The costs and maintenance of computer services could be substantial.
- The set of six dogs may be too similar/difficult or too obvious/easy.
The development of this model could provide an effective educational opportunity by demonstrating preferred judging placements. It could serve as an objective measurement of a judge's ability to properly place dogs in a virtual show ring. The model could be a valuable addition to the judging environment. This model could continue to be developed and improved, and extended to many other uses.

Todays Prediction - Lillywhites v Leeds
Lillywhites 3 Leeds 1..Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Some of us have tried that Jimmy - well the beating up verbally bit anyway. It seems that this particular gunner has skin thicker than Dawn French's waistline.
As I have been "dry" for the whole of January the thought of getting pissed is very appealing at the mo.
Especially after that win last night!!
A Yahoo! User Jan 26, 2010 23:17 Flag
Sfer, why don't we all just gang up on gunnersbury, beat him up verbally & go and get pissed for a bit of team bonding!!
Jimmy (age 49, going on 14)
This is one of those situations Jimmy where there is no right or wrong.
Should he have made the tackle? Maybe yes maybe no. Yes if you knew the ref WAS NOT going to give a penalty (which of course no one knew) and No if you knew that either the ref WAS going to give the penalty or if you knew that Beckford would not have scored.
There are too many people on here that are using hindsight to justify thier opinions but as I said - you pays yer moeny yer takes yer choice!!! No right and no wrong. At least thats the way I see it although others seem to think that if you disagree with them in thinking Dawson made a huge mistake then you are "brainless" So much for fans sticking together eh!
A Yahoo! User Jan 26, 2010 22:11 Flag
For what it's worth, personally I think SB is right in that Dawson took the 'wrong'/risky option, but the truth is he executed it brilliantly - it was a superb tackle in my book - and did not deserve to be punished. So he's right as well. Which leaves me confused.
Did you think it was a penalty then?
If not, I repeat, Daws did nothing wrong - and if he did nothing wrong, then it's not reckless.
I thought long and hard about whether to respond to this SB. Part of me said don't bother and the other part said I had to put you right or at least try.
"u got to realise that some people on here can never admit players like dawson made a bad decision & a mistake"
What the Hell is that about!! I don't know of anybody on here that is not prepared to say they got it wrong or that any player had made a mistake. Dawson is sometimes too quick to jump in but on the other hand he is also the most likely defender that we have to make that last ditch block and save a potential goal.
"but now hes made a big mistake they cant accept it." Grow up!! Just because you have taken a bit of stick on here lately because of your obsession with Corluka doesn't mean you have to revert to type and start getting bitchy.
"any pro defender will tell u the safest & correct option was to shephard him away from goal" FGS how many pro defenders do you know!! What a load of b0llox. Of course if they had a choice they would shepherd him out BUT thats if they think they have a choice. Dawson didn't think that and I agree with him. Every defender at some point is going to be in the same situation and have to make that choice. Some will make the tackle and some won't. Some will let a goal in as a result and some will give penalties away. The only thing I know for sure is that any PL manager will want to trust his defenders to make the call as they see it at at the time. They will definately not want the defender to choose not to try and make the tackle and end up giving a goal away.
The call as to whether it was a penalty or not was probably around 50/50. It could easily have not been given and if that had been th ecase you would have been one of the first on here to say how good dawson was and that he had made the right decision.
I have read your posts on here a lot and some are reasonable but this one is pathetic. The majority of spurs fans like Dawson but this is just about one decision. get over it - and yourself!
jabba, u got to realise that some people on here can never admit players like dawson made a bad decision & a mistake.
if that was king they would be saying its because he misses so many games & he is a liability etc. but just a few wks ago they were all praising dawson & rightly so. but now hes made a big mistake they cant accept it.
they even try & make it about hutton. yes hutton was caught out of position which is a mistake but that doesnt mean the covering player is ok to foul & give away a pen.
i can't belive how biased towards dawson some of u are being.
i love dawson, 1 of my fave spurs players & he is developing into a future england CB.
but he is still young & developing. he still dives in too much & lacks composure.
can u remember woodgate or king diving in needlesly in that situation & giving away a last min pen?
i cant!
king & woodgate have much more composure.
the fact is neutrals/pundits see it as a reckless challenge from dawson that wasnt needed. its just a few spurs fans who think dawson did the right thing.
if u really think dawson did the right thing then be prepared for us to give plenty of pens away.
soon as a attacker has the ball in our box, according to your theory he has to go to ground & dive in or else the player might shoot & score, or cross it in & they score or score from a corner.
any pro defender will tell u the safest & correct option was to shephard him away from goal.
u got to go with percentages when its the last kick of the game.
shephard him away from goal= small chance of it leading it to a goal.
slide tackle & dive in inside the box= 50/50 chance of giving away a pen.
if u want to defend dawson even when the proof (them getting a pen) is that he made a big needless mistake then thats up to u.
hoprefully he will learn about it.
also u say its a ref mistake & the refs are making so many bad decisions against us.
if refs are making lots of bad decisions, dont u think its even more wiser not to slide & dive in inside the box?
u can have it both way.
But the problem is you can't play 'hypotheticals'. I could come up with the scenarion that beckford got the ball, back heeled it and a Leeds player then smashed it into the net... I could have another scenario where Daws shepherds Beckford and the beckford plays the ball off daws and gets a corner that Leeds score from..etc you could go on forever.
AND in some of those scenarios, it all comes to nothing and a goal isn't scored - totally agree - but you can never say what would have happened had Daws not made the challenge.
All we know is what happened - Daws (IMHO) made a decent challenge for the ball that was given as a penalty. IMHO I don't think it was a penalty - so really we're all arguing over that - as if it was a decent challenge (as I believe) - then what was wrong with that? What did Daws actually do wrong? Daws didn't give the penalty, the ref did. Did you think it was a penalty? If not, then Daws was 100% right to make the challenge.
I'd just say again that for me, I'd rather see a CB make those sorts of challenges, than run the risk of 'playing safe' and not dealing with the danger.
Steady on Jabba. I don't think B2S was having a go on a personal basis. He was just expressing his opinion and I don't see any personal attacks on you as such. On the other hand saying that B2S has no brains is a bit strong IMO.
He is entitled to his opinion the same as you are yours and I respect yours even though I disagree with it. i.e. you think Dawson was able to have attempted to marshall Beckford towards the byeline and I don't which is why he had to attempt the sliding tackle - so what! it makes no difference in the end and its certainly not worth starting a feud with a fellow Yid over is it??
have you even read and fully understood my posts b2s?
i wasn't advocating that daws stand off from him and let him make a run towards goal, i haven't said that daws was a prat either have i? not at all, i was stating that imo he should've marshalled him in the direction he was already taking(watch the clip again and you'll see quite clearly that he was starting a run for the byline, not towards goal), i agree totally about ah, where was he?
there were several mistakes made in that time, not least the fact that we were unable to retain possession and run the clock down.
the match should've been wrapped up and won long before the added time, we had the chances to kill the game off, defoes penalty miss etc etc etc. but it wasn't, again i ask the question, where did the extra 6mins come from?
all i'm saying here, is that imo, daws had a choice to either marshall him, or make a tackle from behind, as sfer has already said, again i reiterate, imo daws unfortunately made the wrong decision by making the tackle, that's all, nothing more nothing less.
so before you get on your high horse b2s, read and try to fully understand my post, before you start making smart arse comments, learn to be objective, not merely to have tunnel vision, also try to learn that others also have an opinion, and see things differently, that doesn't always agree with the way you see it, after all this is a forum to post your opinions on for open discussion, or is it? cos quite clearly you have neither the brain or the ability to do that!
for me daws has all the makings of a top class cb, captain as well, and i hope that he forges a strong partnership with bassong that will last a good few years for this club.
i've also stated in another post that with wiley as ref we're up against it anyway.

A Rotorua man has been sentenced to 200 hours' community service after pleading guilty to paua poaching charges.
The Ministry for Primary Industries reported that Raymond Major, 34, unemployed, appeared in the Rotorua District Court on July 31 on charges under Section 232 of the Fisheries Act 1996 relating to the illegal sale of paua.
Major was initially identified after offering both paua and kina for sale through his Facebook page. A Fishery Officer was then deployed to make contact with the defendant and arrange to buy seafood from him.
On the February 17 this year the officer met with Major at a Rotorua car park where he purchased two plastic bags containing a total of 40 paua for $100. He arranged to meet Major again five days later where he purchased a further 20 paua in their shells for $50. All the paua were undersized and ranged between 89 and 117mm. The daily limit for paua is 10 per person and the minimum size is 125mm.
In a subsequent interview Major admitted selling paua to the officer. He said he was aware of the recreational daily limits for paua; however he claimed he was not aware that it was illegal to sell recreationally taken seafood.
Ministry of Primary Industries Waikato/BOP District Compliance Manager, Brendon Mikkelsen said he was glad to see the courts passing down strong sentences to those who chose to flout New Zealand's fisheries laws.
"Black market dealings in paua are effectively theft of a national resource and claiming ignorance is never an excuse. It is up to all fishers to know and comply with New Zealand's fishery laws, or risk prosecution."
"Poachers not only risk fish stocks but they are stealing from their communities, and making it harder for compliant recreational fishers to enjoy fishing activities, by taking more than their legal entitlement and benefitting from it."
"Our fishery officers greatly appreciate the support of the community in reporting poachers and those who break the rules. If you see people acting suspiciously, whether it's on the water, at the pub or on social media - we want to know about it"
Fishery officers ask the public to report any suspicious activity by phoning 0800 4 POACHER (0800 476 224). All calls are kept strictly confidential.

About Operation Wildflower
Operation Wildflower has brought beauty and diversity to West Virginia highways for many years. The program has been, and continues to be, an asset to the Mountain State. The program began in 1990 under the DNR with a test site on I-64 near Huntington, West Virginia. The success of the site led to the expansion of the program to include donations from garden clubs and the public. Today, more than 250 acres of wildflowers grow on state roads, including sites on every interstate highway. Most roadside wildflower beds are donated by the public and planted with the standard mix. However, the Division of Highways continually experiments with new planting methods, soil nutrients and seed mixes. Some plots are planted with only one species and mowed down when the bloom is gone. Single species sites include Poppies, Crimson clover, Daisies, Catchfly and Indian Blanket.
