A reflection of work in 2015.
Lessons from Verge's hack week
The morning after Nilay became Verge's editor in chief, I got a phone call from him telling me that he wanted to do a hack week. "That's a great idea, let's do it!" I said, agreeing to a thing that I thought would happen in a few months, after much planning and scheming.
"Let's do it next Monday," was Nilay's original suggestion. We pushed it out a week from there, hosting a hack week from Aug.18-22.
Lesson 1: Not planning can be a good thing
The hack weeks I've personally organized in the past have been very meticulously planned out, much like product team's Vax was. People submit ideas, they do a bunch of upfront work, there's sometimes a theme and predefined teams. And that works for certain types of events. What I never anticipated was that it would also work to not plan.
We did this a week after the idea came about. By not having a strict set of projects lined up and set teams, ideas were able to naturally arise and editorial-product collaborations could happen more organically. We ended up hacking on a per-story basis, rather than the overall systems.
Lesson 2: Ok, but a little bit of planning is also good
That all said, we did make sure to have a few tools lined up (all 100% stolen from Yuri) to get people's brains turning about what's possible. The Wednesday before Hack Week, I set up a little dashboard that included links to all the tools, docs on how to use them, and other resources relevant to getting hack week started. This ensured that we could have a few items ready to go on Day 1, since we were playing out our hack week in real time, in public.
Lesson 3: It's about more than hacking on technology
We were hacking on content and on culture and on relationships. It was under this premise that we were able to get away with less planning. People who had never interacted were talking to each other. Editorial got insight into what makes a good product, and product got insight into what's important editorially. We were able to peek at each other's workflows and ask each other questions.
Takeaways and planning your own hack week
- Make sure someone from each discipline is involved. I mistakenly totally forgot about including designers the first time around (apart from the interns) and we would have struggled and failed without them.
- Make sure to secure actual, physical space. On day 1, we ended up making a mini product room outside of the product room because there wasn't anywhere to sit, and more importantly, there was nowhere to plug in our dying laptops. By day two, we had cleared out space in the main newsroom to sit with plenty of outlet real estate.
- If you're not going to plan, do a daily scrum. Without people working on dedicated projects, it quickly became easy to lose track of who is working on what and easy to not set and meet goals. Doing a daily scrum helps you achieve this. Hell, I'd throw in an afternoon checkin as well, since the pace of work is much quicker.

What I've been up to since moving to New York
It's August, meaning I've been in New York and at Vox Media for almost eight months now. It's been crazy and energizing and a ton of fun. Here are some things I've worked on and what's next for me.
What I've been working on
Product manager is a new role for me. I've done very similar things in past roles, but this is the first time my sole focus has been solely on seeing a product through and making sure it succeeds. It's super refreshing to have so much focus, and I'm 100% sure I was made to be a product manager. It's a role I love and keep learning more and more about.
In addition to launching two bigger projects, an email newsletter and new series called This Is My Next, I've been working with engineers to make many small product improvements. My role as Verge's PM means I manage the entire site as a product, and am in charge of its backlog. We've added cool behind-the-scenes product improvements like:
- Changing the behavior of our linksets at the bottom of each article to have more granular control of which "read these next" links display where and when.
- Added video support to our end-of-page linksets.
- Added the option for "promo headlines" to the site, empowering editors to have a different headline at the homepage level than other spots on the site where a headline might appear standalone, without other contextual details of the story page.
- Changed the "trending now" bar on The Verge from being updated manually to being powered by realtime analytics data
- Ongoing project to responsify The Verge, which will launch by the fall.
In addition to managing the backlog, we've also worked with the newsroom to build out cool storytelling features:
When I started with Vox Media, we had dedicated product teams on each vertical, which is how we were able to build some of the features referenced above. But a few months ago, all of the product managers got together and did an inventory of the kind of work we were doing and the amount of time we were spending on art-directed storytelling, and we reassessed that structure. Which leads me to...
What I'm up to next: Editorial Apps Team!
About a month ago, I started product managing a new team, called the Editorial Apps team. Ryan Mark, who just started at Vox about two months ago from The Chicago Tribune, is leading us from the engineering side. We have a crazy strong team, which consists of:
- Ryan Mark, editorial engineer
- Uy Tieu, senior product designer
- Josh Laincz, senior front end designer
- Dylan Lathrop, designer
- Sharon Wong, designer
- Rebecca Lai, front-end dev and designer (intern)
Our team works with reporters and editors to tell stories on the web in impactful, innovative and engaging ways. In the day-to-day, we participate in art direction and presentation of stories, editorial planning and analysis of data. Through our work, we'll focus on big-picture thinking and experimenting around how Vox Media continues to evolve its storytelling. But a key to all this is that we'll develop software and processes and provide training to support, streamline and scale the most successful of these endeavors.
And of course, we maintain close communication with video, sales, Vox Creative and the ad products team to ensure that editorial work drives revenue.
Specifically, we'll focus on these areas:
Light art direction, code reviews, training, photos sourcing and treatment, and other light production work. High-touch graphics, illustrations, logos, interactive visualizations and other experiences that can engage our readership beyond what is possible with text alone.
Assisting reporters in retrieving, managing and analyzing data necessary in the course of their work. Building relationships with reporters and help them find interesting stories in datasets. We want to build data products that are told accurately and ethically, but also beautifully and scalably.
Collaborate with editors and reporters to find ways to involve readers in the reporting and story generation process, not just at the point of publish.
Through participation in both the day-to-day and long term collaboration on news generation, reporting and presentation, we'll identify ways to automate common tasks and templatize common designs, processes and frameworks. The software will be made available to everyone in the organization, thoroughly documented and open-sourced as much as possible.
Processes, Communication and Training
The team will continue to iterate on its process and keep up-to-date documentation that will be accessible to the entire organization. We plan to provide tools and training to editors and reporters to make them more efficient and self-reliant. The team will host quarterly show-and-tells in New York and DC to share interesting projects, inspire reporters and editors and provide a forum to surface ideas and spark collaboration (we just had our first one last week!).
I'll keep you updated on this work as the team progresses. These first few months, we're doing a lot of cleaning up and standardizing on templates and processes to make the initiation, build and deploy of projects way better. You can see a few examples of small data things we've worked on here and here, but keep an eye out for some bigger projects we have cooking.

Why develop in the newsroom
Developing in the newsroom has always been my jam. Even when I'm not directly developing — like now, at Vox Media where I'm a product manager — my core responsibility is facilitating and helping define the development that happens in the support of the newsroom. Here's why you should do it too, and especially as part of Knight-Mozilla's 2015 Fellowship. The short answer for why you should develop in a newsroom is because it's fun, you will be working with insanely smart peers serving an insanely smart audience, there will be lots of whiskey and cursing, and election night pizza, all while building news and information solutions no one else ever has before. But if that's not enough, let me break it down for you... Build things that matter.
Every day, you get to build software that helps tell stories that matter. Stories that impact people's lives. Stories that can uncover corruption or expose mass health dangers or just entertain and inform.
Be shippin' it all the time.
The world is always changing. At a much more rapid pace than you'd have at your standard technology company, you get to be working at an extremely fast pace and shipping your work on the reg. This means your opportunity for experimenting and iterating on projects is also at a much quicker pace, and often being published to a receptive audience who will tell you almost immediately whether your work is awesome or whether it sucks.
Collaborate with subject matter experts.
The reports and editors with whom you'll be working really know their shit. They have the sources, the years of knowledge and research for their beats, the trust from readers. You get to work with those experts to collaborate on awesome solutions daily.
Work on a diversity of different projects.
Whether you're at a newspaper — which has everything from a sports department to entertainment databases to metro desk — or a place like Vox Media with its seven varied verticals or a place like ProPublica, which covers the spectrum from fracking to America's racial divide, you will be always exposed to a wide range of subjects.
Always continue learning.
To my previous points about diverse projects and working with subject matter experts, this means that you get to always keep learning. In order to execute on products that work, you have to force yourself to learn about processes and history and key players for topics you previously knew nothing about. Working in a newsroom with journalists is like going back to school, but more fun (there's often a lot more cursing and whiskey and no tests except whether you've met the user's needs).
Always continue teaching.
But it's a two-way street. In addition to learning what others have to offer, you get to always be teaching as well, whether that's teaching an editor about which data is most relevant for which formats, or teaching an ambitious reporter about python. You'll be continually surprised at how eager the newsroom is to absorb your knowledge. And the best feeling is then catching someone teach their peer what you've taught them.
Always be challenged.
This work isn't easy. We're often dealing with sensitive, high-visibility topics. Credibility and trust are on the line. One mistake in your scraper will send incorrect election results to the masses. Publishing the wrong information can hurt people's lives and get your publication sued. The deadlines are often quick and the data is often dirty. But you get to challenge yourself in new ways, and always.
Serve communities who care, and who you care about.
Because you'll be shipping your work all the time, you get to do that experimentation much more publicly than you would in any other industry, and directly interact and build relationships with that community you're serving. These are often the same communities that we're a part of, covering topics our families and friends care about. (Hi, Mom!)
Invent new solutions.
The information industry has come far in recent years in evolving how we do storytelling in a digital world, but there's still so much more to do, so much more progress to make, so many more problems to solve. This is a world that has immense and ever-growing potential at building the kinds of information solutions that help people live richer, more informed lives. And you can be a part of that. You can shape that. You can lead that. We need more leaders in this space.
Change the world.
No matter what newsroom you're working in or how big your audience is, you're going to be work that ends up having a big impact on the industry as a whole. The number of people doing the kind of work we do is still relatively small, and we're all doing our best to show our work and learn from each other. If you come over to a newsroom and do good work and share that work, you're going to influence and inspire people in newsrooms all over the country and world, who in turn take those learnings back to inform their own communities. It's a never-ending cycle of stealing each other's work, making each other stronger, and using all that feedback to continue building bigger and better products.
If you're at all intrigued by these ideas, scadoodle on over and apply for a Knight-Mozilla fellowship in one of the many esteemed newsrooms across the country. Become a 2015 Knight-Mozilla Fellow by applying today.
This Is My Next: Verge's new buying guide series
My next: Vox Media!
It is with giddy, bouncing-off-the-walls excitement that I am announcing I'll be joining Vox Media in 2014 as product manager for The Verge.
Vox is the perfect next home for me, having first been with a start-up that was trying to change the industry from the outside, then to a newspaper to reinvent from within — now, to a media company that does great journalism, builds kick-ass technology and ties it all together with modern design and a vision for the future. A little insider, a little outsider. A huge influencer on the future of media. And not afraid to shake things up.
Owning development of editorial features and products at The Verge is one of the most exciting opportunities I could have asked for. It's a brand that's, in some ways, still in its infancy, but already beats its peers — HuffPo Tech, Gizmodo, Wired, Engadget and TechCrunch — in monthly unique visitors. As the product manager (the product is storytelling, by the way... brilliant) I'll lead design and development projects with a mix of management and hands-on participation. Though I get to help shape strategic goals through product innovation for the Verge specifically, the work of myself and the rest of the product team will impact all six of Vox's sites.
I'll be based in New York City. I start on January 21. Someone please teach me about how to hail a taxi and whether I'm supposed to sit or stand on the subway.

Refocusing the "story" away from individual articles to the overarching narrative
How universities and student media organizations should modernize themselves
Part of me can't believe we're still asking this question. It comes from Patrick Thorton:
Student news organizations have traditionally existed to give students experience before entering the workforce. The kinds of journalism jobs and journalism companies have changed considerably in the past 10 years, and most student news organizations are set up to mimic traditional print or broadcast news outlets. How would you set up a student news organization in 2013 or how could an existing college news organization modernize itself?
It's the same thing we were asking when I graduated in 2009. I wrote a letter to my j-school about what they should do to modernize by revamping existing tracks rather than creating new multimedia ones. I wrote a post urging other student newspapers to not be afraid to break the rules. A group of us around the country hosted an open chat between students and educators about risk-taking.
And here we are, five years later, dealing with the same struggles.
Except that many educators didn't listen back then, and our 2009 urgings are already long out of date. Catching up is now that much harder. What's a j-school to do? It starts in the classroom.
Create curriculums that are concept-based
Technology changes quickly; approval for curriculum changes does not.
You can't create classes based on certain platforms or strategies. Classes need to be concept-based to allow flexibility of easily swapping out technology as the times change, and focusing more specifically on goals to achieve rather than tools for achieving.
A few examples:
- Rather than having a class about how to use Twitter, create a class around finding sources and doing solid reporting, which touches on elements of engagement and community. Twitter can be a part of it, but not the focus.
- Rather than having a class about video editing, focus on visual journalism, the elements of visual storytelling. Editing a video can be a part of that, incorporating a ton of self-teaching (more on that soon).
The tools are just the vehicles that get us to the heart of what we do as journalists. The tools don't define our journalism.
Teach self-teaching
You can never teach students everything they need to know because two months into the workforce, the tools will have changed. And students, you shouldn't wait around for your professors to teach you what you need to you know. Ideas I'd integrate into classes without telling students how to accomplish the following tasks, or which tools to use:
- In a basic reporting class: Tell students to create a searchable database.
- In a visual communications class: Have students plot data on a map.
- In a narrative/features writing class: Have students creatively integrate multimedia into the narrative process.
The point would be for students to figure out how to solve the problems, using whichever tools they have at their dispense. It doesn't matter how they get there, so long as they do it in a way that is accurate, usable, elegant. Extra points for mechanisms that are reusable, integratable, responsive, etc.
Programming isn't about presentation
At the same time, remember that coding isn't just about what you see as an end user. I've learned from spending time with students that this is often the misconception. "Why would I want to build a website to show my work? Won't other people at my news org be responsible for that? I want to focus on the storytelling," is a question/statement I've been asked when speaking to journalism students. Programming is also about what happens on the back end. It's about how information is organized, and how we use it. It's about using technology to bridge the gaps, to make our jobs more efficient, to tap into information we could never access.
Which leads to the next, related point...
Data, data, data, stats, stats, stats
Why wasn't a data analysis / statistics class a requirement for my journalism major? It should have been. Multiple classes of it. Not as electives. With the wealth of information that's publicly available, and the wealth of information for us to record ourselves, how are we still teaching interviewing as a primary source of information-collecting? Students should be learning how to find data, scrape data, analyze it, make sense of it, display it.
More innovation labs
And to tie all these concepts together, we need more safe places for students to collaborate and experiment. Bringing it back to the original question about how student media organizations can modernize, they need to function more like innovation labs, implementing all of the core functions I've outlined above. I've always pointed to how college should be environments ripe for disruption and failure and experimentation. It's theoretically a safe space to try new things, though the culture can often be as stagnant as professional organizations because of business implications.
How to bring the innovation lab idea to life at a news organization:
- Partner with other departments (computer science, software engineering) to do projects on a quarterly, or even a monthly or twice-monthly basis.
- Add an advertising/business student to that mix.
- Rotate reporters/editors into those teams throughout the year to give everyone exposure to the team.
- Make it a goal to release code into the open source community quarterly.
- Kill the print publication all together, or cut it down to just once a week.
- Create brand new products that are completely separate from the publication itself (think: Circa, reddit, Evening Edition).
And if I was a student today, you know what I'd do? Ditch the traditional organization all together and create my own news start-up on campus.
What I look for when it comes time to hire
Yes, a website/portfolio helps. I immediately look at a student's website to find a sampling of their "clips." These clips should come in the form of links to the student's projects, and hopefully some blog posts that explain how the projects were done, and what plans are for the projects moving forward. This doesn't have to be anything overly-fancy. I just want a place where links are easily collected. Even a Delicious feed works.
No, I don't care if you can use Tweetdeck or Google Analytics. So can my 12-year-old cousins. Where are you pushing the boundaries? How are you thinking outside of the box? How are you reinventing? Don't show me how you can use tools that other people made. (Derek Willis writes about this more eloquently than me in, "The Natives Aren't Restless Enough." Just stop now and read that instead.)
Write about your ideas. Share you knowledge. Spread your knowledge. Ask questions. Deconstruct concepts we all take for granted. Contribute to the community. Contribute to the greater good of this mission we're all working toward. Then I might give you a call.

He lied to the AZROC inspector as well. Randy thought he had this in the bag. I have so much evidence against this company that would ruin his company (as if it is not already) and his financial life. He screws his own step nephew and brother in law. and they as well screw him and lie. Anyone around Randy and involved with him and his wife's company is a rip off and a liar.

This means if they don't want to accept PayPal or credit cards or farm animals offered in trade, they don't have to do so.
If you don't like it, then you simply shop somewhere else. That's the risk the company takes for not accepting as many forms of payment as possible.
It is not a ripoff if they don't accept PayPal.
And by the way, that whole website looks like a giant scam anyway, so it's probably a good thing you didn't go through with the purchase.

DOLGEVILLE � Lifting weights is not just a guy thing.
That�s according to Dolgeville Central School Athletic Director John Huddleston who approached the district�s Board of Education last week with a proposal to open the high school�s weight room to female students and female faculty and staff.
�The room is not just for our guys, it�s for all of our students. It would be a real positive for the entire school if our female students and personnel could get in there and work out during the day,� he said. �The equipment is there for everyone to use.�
Huddleston proposed having three times throughout the day - 6 to 7 a.m., 3:15 to 4:15 p.m. and 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. - when the weight room would be open to women.
�Not only would this be a positive for our girls� athletic teams, but it would be a positive for all of the girls in our school who would like to work out but are a little tentative because of the number of guys who are in the weight room at one time,� he said.
Huddleston added female teachers have expressed an interest in supervising the room when it would be open to female students. He said the teacher would be required to have experience with weight training and be certified in CPR and first aid to supervise.
�I don�t think that�s too much to ask, because the room should be supervised by someone who is certified in CPR and first aid in the event an emergency were to occur,� he said. �It makes sense to have someone who is trained in how to handle an emergency there.�
Board of Education President Karen Nagle said she was in favor of the proposal.
�It would be great for our students and our faculty and staff,� she said. �We might even see the number of girls using the weight room increase. It�s something worth trying.�
Board member Peter Jaikin suggested closing the weight room to individuals who are no longer a student at the school or who are not employed by the district.
�It�s just not safe to have someone who is not a student or a teacher come into the school and use the weight room,� he said. �Especially with all that is going on in schools now.�
Board member David Clark cited the incident involving 20-year-old Michael Brandon Hill, who earlier this week fired at least a half-dozen shots from a rifle from inside McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur, Ga., at officers who were swarming outside the campus. Hill surrendered shortly after and several weapons were found.
Though the school has a system where visitors must be buzzed in by staff, Hill may have slipped inside behind someone authorized to be there. Hill, who had no clear ties to the school, never got past the front office, where he held employees captive for a time.
Page 2 of 3 - �That school had a system in place and there was still an incident there,� said Clark. �Who�s to say a former student using the weight room couldn�t sneak someone in that shouldn�t be in the school? It�s not safe to have outside people use the weight room.�
Nagle agreed with Clark and Jaikin. �If we had the facilities I could see the school opening them to the public, but the district�s weight room is not that big and it really isn�t meant for community use,� she said. �It�s meant for our students and employees to use.�
Superintendent Christine Reynolds said the board, after reviewing Huddleston�s proposal, could take action on the change to the weight room at their next meeting.

DOLGEVILLE � A dozen village of Dolgeville residents petitioned the board of trustees last Monday evening to condemn the rental property at 6 Dunckel St.
�We�d like to see the house condemned and demolished,� said Dunckel Street resident Marcia Bowers. �The house is in poor condition and is infested with pests. I�ve had to throw away groceries because of the cockroaches that have entered my home. I�ve had to clean my home time and time again because of the cockroaches that have made their way from that house to mine. I�ve even had to spend $600 to have Orkin come and spray. The home needs a roof, it needs plumbing, it needs a furnace, it needs electrical wiring - something has to be done because it�s not fit for people to live in.�
Property owner Evelyn Mooan said she recently paid to have trash removed from the residence and also called Orkin to rid the home of cockroaches and other pests.
�The property has been cleaned and the pests and insects could have come from outside sources like a grocery store. It�s still a nice home,� the Boonville resident said.
Mooan added the roof, which village Trustees Donna Loucks and Mary Puznowski said appears as though it is about to cave in, does not leak.
�I find that hard to believe,� said Puznowski. �There�s no way that house does not need a new roof. You can tell by looking at it from the outside that it is buckling.�
�The home has fallen into disrepair,� said Loucks. �The neighbors have to come to us four or five times with complaints about this property and something has to be done. It�s not enough to fix the property up after there is a complaint, it needs to be maintained.�
Mooan said she rents the apartments at 6 Dunckel St. to low- and moderate-income families and individuals. She said some of the home�s previous tenants left their personal belongings and other items at the residence when the moved out.
Page 3 of 3 - �That�s why I had to get a 22-foot dumpster to haul all of that away,� she said. �There�s no trash or junk in and around the building. It�s all been cleaned up and hauled away.�
Bowers disagreed with Mooan. �There�s still trash and garbage behind the garage,� she said. �The home is still in bad condition. I don�t want to see her rent it out again.�
One of the property�s units is currently occupied, said Mooan.
�Unfortunately the home has been let go for years,� said Mayor Bruce Lyon. �It hasn�t been maintained and now it�s almost to the point of where it might not be able to be saved. It�s sad to see because at one time that was a nice looking home.�
Mooan said her family members� recent health issues had a role in the home�s demise.
�We are just starting to get caught up on what we need to do,� she said, adding she has provided receipts of purchases made to improve the home to village Code Enforcement Officer Barry Vickers. �We�re doing the things we need to do to take care of the home.�
Lyon said Mooan would remain in contact with Vickers and would have to perform all of the repairs he deems necessary in order for the property to avoid being condemned.
�We�re going to let Barry do his job. In addition, the village board has the option of taking action as the board of health which could condemn the home, if need be,� he said.
�The home needs to be taken care of and it needs to be kept up,� said Loucks. �We cannot continue to have the neighbors and other residents come to us with complaints.�
�It�s a beautiful neighborhood and we�d like to keep it that way,� said Puznowski. �Things have gone down hill for too long when it comes to that house and it�s going to take a lot of work to get it out of the condition that it�s in.�

Patron of Infants, Students and Ireland
Saint for House-Blessing
Handmade in the U.S.A.
As a young woman, Brigid (ca. 450–525) was a slave. However, because she gave away her master's goods so readily to the poor, he gave her freedom, lest she bankrupt him. She was baptized by St. Patrick and began to perform miracles. Some of these cured were infants: for this reason christening robes and babies' blankets bearing an image of Brigid or St. Brigid's cross are common gifts in Ireland. Brigid's wisdom (thus she is the patron of students and scholars) was also widely admired. This small statue of Brigid incorporates two symbols often associated with her. First, between her arms she holds St. Brigid's cross: a legend holds that, as a teaching device, Brigid wove a cross of reeds or rushes, to use in explaining Christianity to Irish pagans. The cross, over the years, became a symbol of hope and is often used to bless houses in Ireland. Second, at the base of the statue burns St. Brigid's flame. The story here is that in the pre-Christian era a sacred flame was tended year-round by Druids on a hill near Kildare, where they invoked a Celtic goddess named Brigid. When St. Brigid built her church and monastery at Kildare, she kept the tradition and the flame alive, saying that the flame represented the new hope offered by Christianity. Brigidine Sisters kept the flame burning until at least the 12th century, but it was extinguished during the suppression of the monasteries in the 16th century. In 1993, the flame was relit in Market Square in Kildare, and since then the flame has been lovingly tended by nuns.
This one of a kind figure is completely hand made by Hank Schlau and hand painted by his wife Karen Schlau. Made of durable material that can be displayed both indoors and outdoors.

After nearly 10 years of teaching primarily at-risk youth in public urban high schools, a series of "ah-ha moments" compelled me to abandon my tenured position as a Language Arts teacher. At the heart of my realization was that we're missing the mark in educating our youth about the most vital of acts—nourishing themselves.
In response to this awareness, I shifted my focus to creating The Curriculum of Cuisine, a program blending culinary education and standards-based academic rigor. The Curriculum of Cuisine, taught in tandem by a state licensed teacher and a culinary professional, weaves the instruction of essential culinary skills into a core academic subject that is already required for graduation.
Last summer at Madison High School in Portland, Oregon, Garden Coordinator Susan Weincke and I had the good fortune to co-teach a pilot of this model--The Seeds of Cuisine. Our course was a five-week summer program rooted in experiential learning. Integrating Language Arts and Science into cooking and gardening, the course supported students in meeting their academic goals by offering credit recovery, practical skills, and community engagement. The course culminated in a student-led "Farmers Market." This market featured produce from Madison High School's garden that was cultivated by students during the course, as well as scratch foods prepared and packaged for sale by students.
Intended as a way to engage students who had struggled academically during the school year, The Seeds of Cuisine was met with remarkable success. With an average GPA of 1.86, 83% of participating students had failed one or more core classes during the school year. However, regular hands-on learning opportunities spring-boarded student engagement. Culinary-focused writing assignments were used to earn credit by proficiency in Language Arts. All participating students completed a formal Lab Report and Field Guide Project, allowing many to recover credit in Biology. In addition to academic gains, all students in The Seeds of Cuisine acquired fundamental culinary and gardening skills that can be used over a lifetime. These are steps in creating food justice.
The Curriculum of Cuisine can facilitate this same level of engaged and meaningful learning during the traditional school year. Please visit www.thecurriculumofcuisine.org for more information.

Take Heart, Liberty Will Prevail
Election years are depressing experiences for friends of freedom. The campaign stump, invariably, brings out even more of the worst in mainstream politicians who make their living by making promises they cannot keep through spending other people's money. The 2016 presidential election cycle has only magnified this pattern.

Flip Wilson: What you saw wasn't all you got
Forty years ago, Flip Wilson was the biggest thing in television.
In its first two seasons on NBC, "The Flip Wilson Show" was the second-most watched program on TV. His comic characters spawned two of the medium's hottest catchphrases, "The devil made me do it" and "What you see is what you get!" (The latter lives on in its acronym, a computer application that allows you to see what a document you're working on will look like - WYSIWYG.) He jump-started the careers of the two biggest names in comedy, George Carlin and Richard Pryor. In January 1972, Time magazine had him on the cover, calling him "TV's First Black Superstar." »Read Full Article

This company charged him $299.95 to install free software on his computer. They said they saw issues with Facebook on his machine. I can tell you he has NEVER used Facebook in his life. He told the company he wanted a refund for the service and he has been passed around from person to person. AND, when they called to ask him how the install was going (his computer had been OFF for an HOUR) so clearly they were not remoted in... he told his technician he wanted a refund and they said "I can't hear you, the line is breaking up."
Also, there is no e-mail receipt of the transaction or "service" for $299.95. It's very sad. This company is a malicious threat to older folks who don't know any better. My father said he may just have to pay this "stupid tax" but I told him that this is fraud, plain and simple.

We did not care for the coffee service as we had never got our coffee service pack and so we sent the machine back. We also stopped service on the water.
We continued to receive bills for the services.
After several attempts to clear the billing issue up and speaking directly with Sierra springs call center ( Tamika and Lydia ) and directly to the Sales Manger (Daniel Carroll) we were told they would call us back and get the billing issue cleared up.
Today we got a collection letter stating we owe 223.00. We have disputed the collections and if the issue is not cleared in 30 days we will file in small claims court for the balance they are asking for.

Hey Guys
First I want to start by saying I am the biggest n00b when it comes to managing a blog, or any kind of web languages, so I'm sorry if my question sounds completely wrong.
Secondly I really appreciate how everyone helps one and another on this fourm. I will try to do my part as soon as i know enough.
I'm having a website build for me by developers which costing money a lot of money, and I'm trying to save every way possible. So I took it upon myself to try and figure out how make the blog. I found a good theme that I want to install on my developers test servers but every time I try to install the theme it gives me the following message:
Incompatible archive PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Invalid End of Central Dir Record size : 15
The "15" at the end of the error message changes when I try to upload different themes, but the beginning is the same. I am on my developers test servers because my site isn't live yet. So i don't know what kind of servers they have, and/or what kind of software their running on. I also get the same message when i try to update wordpress 2.9.2. So I don't know what to do.
Finally here are my questions:
1.What does this error mean?
2.Is this more than 1 error message? Are they 2 different ones?
3.Is this my fault, or is this an issue my developers have to correct on their end?
4.If developers have to fix the issue. What should i tell them is the problem?
5.If I have to do it, where do I start??
Sorry guys, I know this is a lot to ask for? ANY and ALl help is appreciated.
Thank You

Memories of LinuxWorld Boston, 2005
Booths, tools, toys, conference sessions, and birds of a feather – this year's LinuxWorld provided few surprises. But a look beyond the routine revealed some emerging new perspectives on the state of Linux.
The Linux faithful gathered on February 7-10 for the East coast US LinuxWorld. Many worried that this year's move from New York to Boston would diminish the size or energy of the event, but most observers agreed that this year's show was as bustling as the last. Impressions This show looked like all the other recent Linux shows, but one could still get the impression that new things were happening in Linux – especially in the areas of the enterprise and the desktop, where the big vendors reached for new levels of acceptance. The shakedown of the high-tech market has made many of the more redundant tools go away. Every product at the show seemed to have a clear and recognizable purpose-- which is not how I recall the glory days – and this is probably an indication of health.

I bought 3 bottles of these vitamins for myself and tried to take them on a regular basis, which I never seemed to see or feel any results. They might as well have been selling an empty bottle with a bogus label on it. It's crazy to take 3 Vitamins after each meal! I have now have a weak stomach and taking 9 vitamins a day was just flat out retarded!
If anyone has any information regarding this multiple Rip-Off, Scam-Artist (aka Don Lapre), please get back to me so we can all get paid back for what was once such a tragic mistake of PROMISES and LIES! We all need to collect our REFUNDS. In September I even sent the Vitamin Co. my updated info to get one, which I've never been contacted about.

It's a job, so you'll face the day-to-day stress of being a working stiff: long hours, occasionally unreasonable deadlines, and maybe even some irascible bosses, co-workers, or clients. Also, if you're trying to break into this highly competitive field, you'll need to get used to the stress that follows rejection. And if you're a freelancer, you'll see stress in the form of hustling day and night for your next job.
Creative work almost always equals stress. It's a harsh truth. But hey, if you love what you're doing, stress is just one tiny slice of the big, beautiful pie of creativity.

Volume 53, Issue 11, 01 December 1970
Frictional Force Exerted by a Flowing Fluid on a Permeable Particle, with Particular Reference to Polymer Coils53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673911View Description Hide Description
A procedure has been developed to calculate the frictional coefficient of a porous sphere with radially varying permeability. Application to polymer coils, where permeability values can be derived from sedimentation data at finite concentration, shows agreement with experimental frictional coefficients of polymer coils at infinite dilution.
Shock Tube Study of the Effect of Vibrational Energy of N2 on the Kinetics of the O+N2→NO+N Reaction53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673912View Description Hide Description
The kinetics of the reaction O+N2+3.3 eV→NO+N were investigated under conditions where the vibrational temperature of the nitrogen was less than the translational temperature. The formation of NO behind incident shock waves in dilute O3–N2 mixtures was studied over the temperature range 3100–6400°K with initial pressures of 2–25 torr. In the shock front O3→O+O2 and the reaction of the O with N2 is then rate‐limiting, followed by the fast reaction N+O2→NO+O. The NO was monitored in emission at 5.3 μ and the initial slopes were compared to theoretical calculations which included vibrational relaxation processes. The radiation rose linearly from the shock front with no incubation in accord with the theoretical calculations employing only translational energy to determine the fraction of collisions whose energy was above the endothermicity of reaction.
Electric Polarizability of Molecular Hydrogen as Calculated by Use of the Nonsymmetrical Wavefunction53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673913View Description Hide Description
The nonsymmetrical (NS) wavefunction has been employed to calculate the static electric dipole polarizability of the hydrogen molecule. It has been found that the double perturbation calculations carried through first order in electron correlation give results much better than those by zeroth‐order Hartree–Fock (HF) calculations and comparable to first‐order HF results with much less labor. Thus it appears better to obtain corrections to a starting wavefunction, even if it is exceedingly crude, rather than to find the best possible zeroth‐order approximation and stop there.
Nematic Ordering of Hard Rods Derived from a Scaled Particle Treatment53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673914View Description Hide Description
A fluid of hard rods is considered as a model for nematic liquid crystals. A direct application of the scaled particle approach results in an inconsistent thermodynamics. A simplified version which is consistent gives an integral equation for the orientational distribution which has the same form as that used by Onsager in the second virial approximation to the same problem. The coefficients, however, give finite density corrections which change his predicted order and density ratio at the transition in the direction of the experimental values.
ATR Infrared Spectra of Uniaxial Nitrate Crystals53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673915View Description Hide Description
The experimental ATR bands for the nitrate ion mode, in particular as measured for trigonal alkalimetal nitrate crystals with their trigonal axes perpendicular to the ATR element–sample interface, display interesting shapes which are radically different for TM and TEpolarizations. Further, there is only a marginal amount of overlap of the intense bands which appear for the two polarizations. It is shown that the band structures are in complete accord with expectations based on a damped oriented oscillatormodel of the nitrates combined with the complex form of Snell's law and Fresnel's reflection equations as developed for a uniaxial crystal. The theoretical development indicates that the TMband structure closely reflects both the transverse and longitudinal modal frequencies since the band peaks sharply near and has an inflection point corresponding to . This insight is used to deduce and from ATR data for the high‐temperature trigonal forms of sodium and potassium nitrate.
Analysis of the Rotatory Strength for Some Model Aldehydes53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673916View Description Hide Description
The rotational strength characterizes the magnitude and the sign with which a particular transition will contribute to the rotatory dispersion curve. Direct calculations of the rotatory strength, employing extended Hückel wavefunctions, are made on model aldehydes. The chirality is introduced through rotation of the terminal methyl group. The rotatory strength is decomposed through symmetry into contributions from perturbation of both the and the orbital. When there is a cis relationship about the C1–C2 bond the contributions augment each other. A trans relationship produces near cancellation. This behavior is associated with the projective properties of the contribution arising from perturbation of the orbital. A perturbation analysis indicates that interaction between the perturbing atoms and the hydrocarbon chain (as opposed to the carbonyl group) is quite important.
Molecular Structure of CCl3PF4 from Infrared and Laser Raman Spectroscopy. Pentacoordinated Molecules. XV53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673917View Description Hide Description
The molecular structure of CCl3PF4 indicated by the gas‐phase infrared spectrum recorded between 33 and 4000 cm−1 and the laser Raman spectrum of the liquid is a trigonal bipyramid with the CCl3 group located in an equatorial position. Polarization measurements have been made as well as the recording of the infrared spectrum of the solid at 77°K as aids in spectralanalysis. The spectra agree with the selection rules for symmetry. Complete assignments are given. Structural comparisons are made with other trigonal bipyramids containing the PF4 group.
Rydberg Series in the NO Spectrum: An Interpretation of Quantum Defects and Intensities in the and Series53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673918View Description Hide Description
The observed quantum defects in the and Rydberg series of NO are interpreted. It has been shown previously that the nfRydberg states of NO conform to a long‐range force model. This model assumes that the motion of the Rydberg electron is determined only by the long‐range potential of the NO+ core. The same model, when applied to the nd states, fails to reproduce the observations. The differences between predicted and observed energies result from: (i) exchange effects and increased nuclear attraction inside the core, (ii) the required orthogonality of the wavefunction of the Rydberg electron with respect to core electrons, (iii) mixing of the with the Rydberg series. In order to describe these effects (called penetration effects) quantitatively, the long‐range force model is supplemented by additional parameters. These parameters are determined independently from the observed electronic and from the observed rotational energy level patterns, and good agreement is found. The mixing of the with the Rydberg series is shown to influence strongly the intensities of numerous transitions in the near infrared, in the visible and in the ultraviolet spectral regions. Numerical calculations for the core orbitals of NO support this interpretation of the penetration effects. The possible assignments of "atomlike" quantum numbers to a molecular Rydberg orbital are discussed.
Laser‐Raman Spectrum (10–4500 cm−1) of Potassium Dicyanoargentate(I)53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673919View Description Hide Description
The laser‐Raman spectrum of KAg(CN)2 is measured in the region 4500–10 cm−1, and , the symmetric silver–cyanide stretch, is unambiguously discriminated for the first time. The laser‐Raman spectrum indicates that the Ag(CN)2 − ion lies on a site of rather than symmetry. The resolution of 13C and 15N isotopic bands (in natural abundance) in the CN stretching region provides further evidence that metal–cyanide attachment is through the carbon atom in this complex. The low‐frequency region is studied at high resolution, and 10 Raman‐active lattice modes are resolved.
Hindered Internal Rotation and Dielectric Relaxation53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673920View Description Hide Description
A model calculation of the dielectric behavior of a liquid whose molecules have conformation‐dependentdipole moment components is presented. The molecules contain two groups of equal size which interact according to parabolic and cosine potentials of varying symmetry. The calculated dielectric behavior is discussed in terms of the model parameters. Measurements of dielectricpermittivities and losses of 4‐bromobiphenyl in dilute solution with carbon tetrachloride at 20, 30, and 40°C are interpreted in light of the model calculation. Measurements of dielectricpermittivities and losses of 2,2′‐bipyridine and 2,2′‐dibromobiphenyl in dilute solution with carbon tetrachloride at 10–40°C are interpreted in light of a model calculation involving hindered internal rotation reported previously. The advantages and limitations of the dielectric method for characterizing hindered internal rotation in molecules in the liquid state are discussed.
Derivation of a Master Equation for the Relaxation of Internal Degrees of Freedom53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673921View Description Hide Description
Using projection operator techniques and the Liouville formalism, a derivation of an exact evolution equation for the internal degrees of freedom of a molecule in a temperature bath is presented. This non‐Markovian "master equation" gives the time evolution of the diagonal part of the reduced density matrix of the internal degrees of freedom. Since the collision term in this equation depends explicitly on the intensive variables of the reservoir, the simultaneous limits of low reservoir density and long time may be used to reduce the exact equation to a Markovian master equation. Using an identity which connects the Liouville formalism to scattering theory, it is shown that the collisional transition probabilities which occur in this master equation can be written in terms of scattering cross sections. Finally, it is demonstrated that the transition probabilities satisfy the condition of detailed balance and that the master equation agrees with that obtained by the usual physical derivations.
Picosecond Pulse Radiolysis Studies. I. The Solvated Electron in Aqueous and Alcohol Solutions53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673922View Description Hide Description
Observations of the solvated electron in water and the common aliphatic alcohols have been made in the time region ∼ 20–350 psec. Molar concentrations of acid have been used to scavenge and has been measured as (1.2 ± 0.2) × 1010 liter/mole·sec for [Haq +] from 0.5 to . The factors limiting the time response of our picosecond pulse radiolysis system are discussed. The time of formation of is estimated to be less than 10 psec for all solvents studied. The yield of solvated electrons in alcohols has been measured to be approximately one‐third of the yield in water at picosecond times.
Picosecond Pulse Radiolysis Studies. II. Reactions of Electrons with Concentrated Scavengers53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673923View Description Hide Description
The decay of solvated electrons in various aqueous solutions was studied using a stroboscopic pulse radiolysis technique with a time resolution of 24 psec. High concentrations of solutes such as H2O2, acetone, CdCl2, NaNO2, and NaNO3 decreased the initial solvated electron yield, while high acid concentrations did not. Reasons for this reduction in yield are discussed, and the conclusion reached is that the scavengers must be reacting with a precursor to the solvated electron. We believe that this precursor is probably a low‐energy electron which reacts prior to solvation.
Infrared Spectra and Vibrational Potential Function of the Perpendicular Vibrations of CHF3 and CDF353(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673924View Description Hide Description
Infrared spectra of the perpendicular bands of CHF3 and CDF3 have been examined at high resolution. The band of CHF3 and the band of CDF3 were resolved and Coriolis constants and band centers determined. The measured band shapes of the bands permitted Coriolis constants to be calculated. These data were then used to calculate the E‐species force constants of the general harmonic potential function. Normal coordinates were also calculated.
Nature of the Rigid‐Rod Mesophase53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673925View Description Hide Description
The thermodynamic phases of the rigid‐rod gas are re‐examined. Introduced in its present form by Zwanzig, the model postulates elongated molecules of parallelepiped shape with only three allowed orientations (mutually perpendicular). We have added to the virial series the cluster integrals represented by eight‐point bicolored graphs. It is demonstrated that the Padé approximants generated by the truncated cluster expansion provide a much more stable sequence of parameters characterizing the isotropic–anisotropic phase transition. It is similarly shown that there are no stable phases predicted for which the orientational distribution is not axially symmetric. The relative volume change accompanying the transition is still predicted to be larger than that observed in the isotropic–nematic liquid crystaltransition.
Intersystem Crossing Rate and Triplet State Lifetime for a Lasing Dye53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673926View Description Hide Description
Triplet state kinetics for rhodamine 6G in alcohol have been studied. The singlet‐to‐triplet intersystem crossing rate and triplet lifetime have been determined in air‐saturated alcohol, where the spin‐forbidden decay from the triplet manifold into the singlet ground state is enhanced by collision with oxygen molecules dissolved in the solution. Values of the kinetic parameters for air‐saturated ethanolsolutions at room temperature were determined to be and .
Search for the First Transition in Naphthalene53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673927View Description Hide Description
The polarization of the triplet–triplet absorptionspectrum of naphthalene‐d8 in the 3250–6000‐Å region was measured by the photoselection method. The spectrum 3250–4300 Å, which consisted of three strong and five weak lines, evidenced uniform polarization and therefore seemed to result solely from the transition . The weak triplet–triplet absorption band in the 4300–6000‐Å range showed four strong and several weak bands of mixed polarization, where some corresponded to that expected for the transition. The energy separation of this transition from the level and its oscillator strength were considerably smaller than were predicted from theoretical calculations.
Correlated Wavefunctions for the Ground State of H−, He, and Li+53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673928View Description Hide Description
Energies are calculated variationally using a closed‐shell orbital product times the correlation function . Energy errors for H−, He, and Li+, respectively, are 0.00193, 0.00019, and 0.00021 a.u. when and 0.00229, 0.00025, and 0.00064 a.u. when or . An explanation is proposed for the fact that is much more accurate for He and Li+ than for H−, whereas the opposite is true for the correlation function. For He, expectation values other than the energy are typically accurate to four figures.
Polarizations of Electronic Transitions from Azimuthal Variation in Fluorescence Intensity—with Application to Biphenyl53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673929View Description Hide Description
It is shown that the angle between absorbing and emitting transition moment vectors may be obtained from a ratio of intensities measured in fluorescence; the intensities to be taken from an azimuthal circle with the propagation vector of the incident beam as polar axis. The incident light must be polarized and the intensities are measured at azimuthal stations selected according to the direction of polarization. Results are compared with those obtained using conventional polarized fluorescence—for aniline and for indole. The azimuthal ratio method is then used to obtain polarizations for biphenyl and substituted biphenyls. Use of the method may facilitate penetration into the region below 200 nm; in fact a determination using excitation at 197 nm has already been made. Finally, the results for biphenyl are interpreted so as to constitute several new assignments of electronic transitions.
Collisional Deactivation of Fluorescence53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1673930View Description Hide Description
Collision cross sections for deactivation of at 300°K have been measured by observations of the quenching of Lyman‐αfluorescence in a discharge flow system. The quenchers (with cross section in Å2) are H2(84 ± 8), D2(84 ± 8), N2(62 ± 6), He(< 3). For H*+H2, less than 1% of the total quenching produces ions. Care has been taken to work with systems optically thin in Lyman so that the rate of escape of radiation, which is the reference to which the quenching rate is compared, is not reduced by resonance trapping.

Frandsen, who was expected to be a key utility infielder and perhaps start at times at second base, injured his leg while running the bases after getting aboard on a single.
"I'll have to wait for the MRI exam, which could be today or tomorrow depending when the swelling goes down," general manager Brian Sabean said in a phone interview. "I don't want to comment further until we know."
Frandsen, out of San Jose's Bellarmine College Prep and San Jose State, had already been nursing soreness in his Achilles. Before his injury, the Giants were planning to keep infielder Eugenio Velez on the roster, but his role could be greater now that Frandsen is out.
The 25-year-old Frandsen, who came to camp in the best shape of his young career after a rigorous offseason regimen, was counting on having a major role for the rebuilding Giants. He has played only parts of two major league seasons the past two years, but appeared in 109 games for San Francisco in 2007 and batted .269 with five homers, 31 RBIs, 12 doubles and a triple.
