Celebrate Hanukkah with this Festival of Light Luminary. Made with a KraftyBlok and a selection of mosaic chips, this beautiful glass project is a wonderful way to celebrate the miracle of light. Best of all, you can easily have this on display in your home year-round.
- Original KraftyBlok™
- 2 - 5oz pkgs Jennifer's Mosaics™ Blue Cathedral Stained Glass Chips
- Contact Paper
- Clear Mosaic Adhesive
- String of Lights or a Lightbulb with a 6' Cord
- Craft Knife or Scissors
- Krylon® Frosted Glass Finish
- 28" Length of Blue/Silver Ribbon
- 6 Rhinestones
- Pattern
To protect work surface, cover with newspaper.
Remove the labels and clean all surfaces of the KraftyBlok™.
Spray both sides of the KraftyBlok™ with Krylon® Frosted Glass Finish following the manufacturer's instructions, allow to dry.
While paint is drying, enlarge the pattern to fit the block surface.
Place pattern on the work surface and tape down.
Cut a piece of contact paper a little larger than the pattern. Remove the backing from the contact paper and place sticky side up over the pattern, tape into position.
Nip 3/4" blue cathedral stained glass chips in half and place them along the perimeter of the pattern to form the border. Leave 1/8" between each piece.
Randomly nip blue cathedral glass tiles into random shapes. Fit shapes like a jigsaw puzzle into the body of the star. MOSAIC TIP: Never nip over the contact paper as it may cause the paper to become less tacky. For nipping instructions, visit our Creative Corner at www.DiamondTechCrafts.com.
When paint has dried, position the KraftyBlok™ on your work surface, with the 8" x 8" surface side up and the stopper opening facing down, towards you.
Apply mosaic adhesive to the glass and place the mosaic, glass side down onto the surface of the KraftyBlok™. Allow mosaic to dry overnight.
When the glue has sufficiently dried (refer to manufacturer's instructions), remove contact paper.
Using an adhesive apply one rhinestones between each of the points on the star.
Wrap a 28" ribbon around the side of the KraftyBlok™ and tuck the ends inside the opening and glue into place.
- Place the light bulb or string of lights inside the KraftyBlok™ for a stunning holiday glow.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Movetis launched an IPO on the Euronext Brussels hoping to raise €112.4 million ($168 million). The offering follows just a month after the EU sanctioned the company's lead chronic constipation drug, Resolor® (prucalopride). The IPO has been priced at €11.25–14.25 ($16.85–21.34) per share, and comprises a public offering in Belgium to retail investors, and a private placement to institutional investors in Belgium and other non-U.S. territories.
Established as a spin-out from Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Pharmaceutica business in 2006, Movetis is focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of new drugs for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.
Resolor has been approved in the EU for the symptomatic treatment of chronic constipation in women in whom laxatives fail to provide adequate relief. The drug is also under regulatory review in Switzerland. The first commercial launch is expected in Q1 2010. Movetis aims to commercialize Resolor by itself in selected EU markets, and partner Resolor in other European countries. The drug's active ingredient, Prucalopride, is also in development for the treatment of chronic constipation in men and children, as well as opioid-induced constipation and post operative ileus.
Movetis' pipeline of GI products includes M0002, which is currently in Phase II trials to treat ascites, and M0003, which is progressing into Phase II development for symptomatic treatment of heartburn and regurgitation in patients refractory to PPIs, and pediatric reflux.
The company has also prioritized two compounds from a preclinical portfolio derived from partnerships with the Universities of Ghent, Leuven and Rotterdam, and is developing two compound libraries with the support of Flemish government grants.

Welcome to the online home of Tim Challies, blogger, author, and book reviewer.

Quote - Glorious Submission
July 05, 2008
Here is yet another little quote drawn from that great big book I've been reading. In his Old Testament Theology, Bruce Waltke is careful to prove that gender roles and differences are rooted not in society and culture but in creation. He shows that, though men and women have been created equal, man was to take the leadership role in family and in the church. This is not a result of the fall into sin but a part of the created order. This brief quote stood out to me as an example of godly submission and one that is, of course, exceedingly counter-cultural. Here we see submission not as suffering but as a glorious and meaningful expression of faith.
Mary's response to the angel's announcement that she would be with child, "I am the Lord's servant. May it be to me as you have said," models for Christian women an obedience she offers out of her freedom, her independence, and her thoughtful commitment so that her submission is meaningful and glorious, not a passive resignation to her fate.
May we all learn from Mary's example and submit well to those God has placed over us.

* I'm Not Going to Say It:
I lied.
I told you so.
All week I told anyone who would listen that St. Joseph of Montvale would topple top-ranked St. Peter's Prep on Saturday afternoon — and, as you know by now, I was right. I never had much faith in St. Peter's as our No. 1 team, nor could I understand why almost every national poll had the Marauders ranked higher than defending national champion Don Bosco, especially when St. Peter's was bringing in an untested player at quarterback.
Regardless of predictions or rankings, this was a bad loss for St. Peter's. They fell to a St. Joseph team that lost a boatload of NCAA Division I players from last season. The team also has a new starting quarterback and several inexperienced players in key positions.
St. Peter's had a rough go of it in the second half. There didn't appear to be many adjustments made after the break and the players looked gassed.
I don't mean to pile on St. Peter's, but it failed to put away an opponent it should have beaten, squandering a 17-0 lead. The team had several opportunities to drain the game clock if they could only sustain a drive or two in the second half, but it never happened.
The good news for St. Peter's: The loss to St. Joseph has no bearing on the team's ultimate goal of winning a state championship. St. Peter's could very well win the rest of its games, catch fire and prove in the postseason that it's the best team in New Jersey. It will almost certainly still get the chance to do that against Don Bosco and/or Bergen Catholic.
But, for that to happen, St. Peter's must improve drastically in a variety of areas — none more important than the passing game, which has struggled early this season and reduced the squad to one dimensional. The offense, to this point, has been a whole lot of running back Savon Huggins, and not much else.
* Big Man on Campus:
Rutgers coach Greg Schiano watched the entire St. Peter's-St. Joseph game Saturday afternoon, dressed impeccably in a crisp black Rutgers coaching shirt tucked into pleated gray slacks. We asked Schiano who he was there to see, but he declined to comment, citing NCAA rules and regulations. He was still kind enough to answer a few questions on camera.
With the Rutgers football team off for the weekend, it gave Schiano the chance to hit the recruiting trail. Mind you, he could have gone to any high school game within driving distance, but he chose to take in St. Peter's-St. Joseph, when he had already landed a verbal commitment from Peter's star lineman Keith Lumpkin, a 6-8 behemoth.
I think clearly he was there to express continued interest in Huggins, the top recruit in the state. The Rutgers running game has been shaky since the departure of Ray Rice, and many recruiting experts project Huggins to be a star. Huggins told The Star-Ledger last week that he is still "seriously considering" Rutgers, but his list of potential suitors remains large, with Notre Dame, Rutgers, Pitt, North Carolina and Florida still in the mix.
For my money, Schiano should also go hard after Peter's safety Sheldon Royster, who Rutgers has offered but like Huggins is considering myriad schools. Royster is a prototypical college safety, with the size, strength and athleticism to become a star. There were three bone-rattling hits in the Peter's-Joe's game, and they all were produced by Royster, who seems to enjoy nothing more than lowering his shoulder into an opponent and delivering a nasty blow. That afternoon, he was the best player on the field.
* Trip to South Jersey:
To prove the Ledger does not have a Northern bias, I drove 27 hours south to Medford for the Shawnee-Winslow game Monday night. I'm still not certain I was actually in New Jersey and not Pennsylvania, considering how long it took to get there, and the fact it looked like a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Penn State. Seriously, check out the uniforms.
I'm glad I made the trip; I was able to see some good football. Shawnee was especially well-coached and played hard, solid, sound football. Meanwhile, Winslow quarterback Bill Belton could end up as a first-team all-state player this season. Belton, who will play for Pittsburgh, has a cannon for an arm and is one of the more elusive players in the state. It was an exciting game that came down to the last play, which is really the best-case scenario for a high school football game.
* In Case You Missed It:
The Star-Ledger wrote a nice piece this week on 23-year-old Parsippany coach Mike Adams, who helped the team snap a 31-game losing streak last week.
* National Rankings Breakdown:
Thank goodness I don't have to compile national rankings, because how can it be done accurately? It seems like it would be a tough task to rank teams from all over the country who never play each other or similar opponents. But alas, I still love to look at them.
In this week's RivalsHigh.com poll, Don Bosco jumped to No. 21. Bosco started the season ranked No. 69 by the same poll. All aboard the bandwagon express!
In the same poll, St. Peter's actually fell completely out of the top 100, a stunning tumble. Peter's began last week ranked No. 20 in the poll. That's a drop of at least 80 spots. Only LeBron James had a worse drop off this year.
In the USA Today poll, Bosco moved up to No. 16, while Peter's dropped from the rankings.

Lots of foods contain lectins. A short list of the "worst offenders" includes eggs, nightshades, beans, nuts, cereal grains, and dairy. If you're really worried about lectins, then you should be looking to eliminate those as well.
But: this is part of why you soak and cook the buckwheat. Otherwise, yes, it would not be very good for you.
We have buckwheat pancakes once a week. I soak them in yogurt for a minimum of 12 hours. We have no digestive issues when we eat them, and they're damn tasty; can't say the same for anything wheat-based anymore, which seems to stop me up like quick-setting concrete.
Now, as much as I love these, I wouldn't want to eat them more than once a week. They're high carb and they're a lot of calories for little nutritional return on the investment. If I were a more active person looking to ramp up my carbs, though, I could see how they could be a great food source to add to my diet.
I think this recipe is much improved from the original:
If you're asking "is it primal?" the answer is -- probably not really. I make it part of my 20%, though, and I would take it over a wheat pancake any day.

What are those "little" shorts called? And where's a good place to get them (online)? The newer type of shorts are restrictive, I need to switch. Thanks for your help in advance.

I believe they are called.... ******* SHEXY!
Thanks alot...
most sports stores should have what you're looking for.
if not, then i'd assume some place like mmawarehouse.com would have what you want.
i'll check it out. thanks for a real answer.
I just call them compression shorts, b/c that's what Under Armor calls a nearly identical item.
Yeah, they look the same, but are they? I have a pair of "compression shorts" I wear under mt regular shorts. They're not the same are they?
I would do something like compare similar items at mmawarehouse.com and a sporting goods site, like Dick's or Finish Line or something.
The shorts some guys wear under their fight shorts are different than let's say, the ones Arlovski used to wear, the inseam is longer, but I'm not aware of any other differences.
Ay look at Vale Tudo shorts I believe. I know Bad Boy has some. I just bought some that go down to the knee from Warrior.

Guintoli Glides To Phillip Island Pole
The 31-year-old Frenchman set a track record lap during the final qualifying session, covering the circuit in one minute and 30.038 seconds.
Guintoli's pole came after a winter spent recovering from injury.
"This winter was hard. After 4 months without riding a bike and only a little bit of testing I was concerned about my physical conditions," Guintoli said. "But my Aprilia worked very well and it is no secret that this is one of our favorite tracks. I really had a lot of fun today. It's a shame I couldn't get my time down to 1'29 – that would have been fantastic. The important thing is that we grew and developed throughout the weekend.
"My shoulder isn't giving me any problems so tomorrow I'll be able to push hard since we've also got an excellent race pace. I expect to have two good races. There are a lot of riders with good pace, but I hope to be able to use my RSV4's power to bring home the win."
Davide Giugliano rode a Ducati 1199 Panigale R to second on the grid with Guintoli's Aprilia teammate Marco Melandri taking the third spot.
Voltcom Crescent Suzuki riders Eugene Laverty and Alex Lowes qualified fourth and fifth with Jonathan Rea (Pata Honda World Superbike) sixth followed by the KRT pairing of Loris Baz and Tom Sykes.

Also, here, Panda, have some tea. According to my grandmother, it will fix *everything*.
Hot and sour soup is magic.
Also, my very first Valentines Day with my partner, we decided to stay in and relax (ridiculously busy lives!), so we got takeout and a bottle of wine and decided to check out what movies were on the satellite--this is before we kicked TV. I surfed through the endless glut of Sandra Bullock and Meg Ryan flicks and finally found Smokey and the Bandit and asked my sweetie if we could please, please watch that one, please?
Long story short: the Owly is not into the chick flicks.

::heads over to the iodine discussion::
::gets popcorn::
::remembers popcorn isn't primal::
::gets popcorn anyway::
::adds bacon::
This whole exchange is fascinating, especially since I have him blocked. It's like you're arguing with a mute sockpuppet. Brilliant.
My Primal Meanderings
Please don't pile on to the Iodine Thread. I have participated in the thread, I bought David Brownstein's book, and I am currently on 50 mg of Lugol's a day, plus the companion nutrients. DH is taking one 50mg Iodoral a day, because he has gastric issues.
I wish you could know what it's like to have health problems and be either 1. scoffed at, or 2. told it's all in your head, or 3. told it's just a part of aging. My DH started having health problems in 2005. It was a cluster of symptoms, and we have been to many doctors and have spent a lot of money. We have had zero results with conventional doctors.
To be fair, DH is disgusted with both conventional and alternative therapies, but I will keep plugging along. Perhaps I will find something to help him.
That doesn't make iodine a miracle that cures everything... also it doesn't make it entirely safe at high doses.
There are some doctors that WERE on the iodine train that have gotten off because they found that the high doses were having some harmful effects in their research.
No I'm not going to go dig up the research for you. But I read both sides of a story before making a decision... I don't scoff at anything negative and worship every single positive anecdote as "SCIENCE" as Grizz does.
I take iodine myself because I cannot have salt at all and therefore do not have any other access to it in my diet.
There is no such thing as a miracle panacea such as Grizz seems to believe of those rusty little drops.
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
~Friedrich Nietzsche
And that's why I'm here eating HFLC Primal/Paleo.
Gwynn, I'm on iodine myself! My quibble is not with iodine supplementation, and I've bored all of the visitors to this journal for months with my experimentation with it. I've watched Lady Friend get brushed off by doctors for ages, and I've received that response to health problems myself with my own doctors. It is very frustrating.
After two decades of terrible sleep, I started taking iodine and the companion supplements in March and within a week, dramatically improved. It no longer takes me hours to fall asleep and I don't wake up repeatedly through the night. I don't doze off in my chair all day any longer and wrote a book in seven weeks simply because I was awake and functional enough to do it. That is amazing, and I have frequently plugged my n=1 benefit of iodine in that regard here for ages. As far as my other issues, iodine has not helped. But I am happy to sleep.
What I dislike about the iodine thread is the tone, which I why I stopped posting there. I would love to be able to recommend it to people who ask me about iodine, but I can't. I'm embarrassed to associate myself with it, and that makes me sad. Iodine has not fixed but improved a problem I've had for a very long time, and I wish I could suggest that thread as a resource for friends who also sleep poorly or have other issues that might be assisted by iodine. But the second they see rants about conspiracy theories and evil doctors, they're going to dismiss it. I would, too.
JOIN THE PANDA SHOW!!! Primal With A Side Of FABULOUS and PANDALOONERY!
I don't necessarily think Iodine is a miracle nutrient. I am just giving it a shot.
I do appreciate everything Grizz has done. He is not the only person on that thread who has questioned allopathic doctors.
I was really hoping DH would get some results b/c of the benefits that Grizz and John have had. He has not had results like they have posted yet.
I don't think you should avoid recommending the thread. Just tell everyone you do to take some of the comments with a grain of salt. (No pun intended.)
BTW, I am probably one of the wackos, b/c I am one of the ones with the "earthing sheet." LOL
I am also taking iodine, but the higher levels caused all kinds of problems for me. I now take only 1 mg/day but have seen some nice improvements in my cycle and other female issues.
Now Grizz...Is a nutcase and there is no way to argue otherwise. For me it all started on my "Feeling Sexy" thread where he repeatedly gave us explicit sexual advice. It was somewhat amusing to myself and the other posters. Then he went over to someone else's thread and told his "first time" story. At the time, I felt that the reaction to his post was excessively mean. We became "friends" when I sent him a PM apologizing for the way he had been treated. Since then, I have seen him do the same thing repeatedly. He needs to be the absolute authority on every topic from sex to the Leptin Reset to iodine and he will visciously attack anyone who disagees with him and then act like the injured innocent. I unfriended him a few months ago. It would take more than a grain of salt to make that thread palatable. Sorry Gwynn.

Stress, the hive mind and jumping genes.
The Daily Circuit live blog for March 15, 2012
Gary Wenk, professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at The Ohio State University discusses what happens to our brains as we age. Low doses of marijuana seem to stimulate the brain in positive ways. Coffee acts as another stimulant that is proving helpful and these are some of the best methods to slow down the aging process.

A retrospective meta-analysis suggests that LSD may aid in the treatment of alcoholism.
The Hive Mind (or Gaian mind) is what we're calling the entheogenic experience. It's an experience of the living fact of the entelechy of the planet - and without that experience we wander in a desert of bogus ideologies.
But with that experience the compass of the self can be set. The gaian mind is the spiritual connection of the earth to nature. All living things share this connection. At this very moment, nature is calling out to you but you can not hear it. Nature is sending you a feeling but you can not feel it. Entheogens dissolve this boundary. Nature wants you to feel this connection and be a good steward of your environment. This feeling may make you feel as though you are going to save the earth. Entheogenic voyages can go in many different directions. Encountering the gaian mind is a very unique and paradoxically common experience.

There has been much research on the effects of trauma and stress on the development of a child's brain, in utero and after birth.
Please, please, do another segment with a neuroscientist who can discuss this knowledgeably, e.g., Dr. Bruce Perry, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Allan Schore, Dr. Daniel Siegel.
This is an area of great interest to parents parenting adopted or otherwise traumatized children and who are seeking and implementing therapies to mitigate the imperfect development and integration of the brain.
Please look at the website for A Chance to Grow here in Mpls. www.actg.org for information about some of these therapies. This week there are free presentations about Neurological Reorganization and demonstrations of neurofeedback and audio-visual entrainment.
So one conservative neurosurgeon says to the other, "Didja hear why liberals have to work so much harder to win at politics?"
"Why, no, I haven't," says the other conservative neurosurgeon.
"Ha! It's because they have to compensate for having smaller amygdalae!" And they both laugh heartily as they stroll down the hospital corridor.
Scientists have recently discovered that parts of our DNA - long thought to be permanently in place - jump around in our brain, turning on previously dormant genes and triggering new traits and behaviors even in closely related individuals.
These jumping genes can help us adapt to new situations, but the randomness of the movement can also have unintended negative side effects.
Scientists at University College London found that "people with conservative views have brains with larger amygdalas, almond shaped areas in the centre of the brain often associated with anxiety and emotions. On the other hand, they have a smaller anterior cingulate, an area at the front of the brain associated with courage and looking on the bright side of life."
More about autism and jumping genes.
Jumping? Random? Hmmm...
The neurogenetic circuit kicks into action (seemingly random) when the nervous system begins to receive signals from WITHIN THE INDIVIDUAL NEURON, from the DNA-RNA dialogue. The first to achieve this mutation spoke of "memories of past lives," "reincarnation," "immortality," etc. That these adepts were recording something real is indicated by the fact that many of them (especially Hindu and Sufis) gave marvelously accurately poetic vistas of evolution 1,000 or 2,000 years before Darwin, and foresaw Superhumanity before Nietzsche.
The "akashic records" of Theosophy, the "collective unconscious" of Jung, the "phylogenetic unconscious" of Grof and Ring, are three modern metaphors for this circuit. The visions of past and future evolution described by those who have had "out-of-body" experiences during close-to-death episodes also describes the trans-time neurogenetic circuit tunnel-reality.
Specific exercises to trigger the neurogenetic circuit are not to be found in yogic teaching; it usually happens, if at all, after several years of the kind of advanced rajah yoga that develops circuit VI facility.
The neurogenetic circuit is best considered, in terms of 1977 science, as the genetic archives, activated by anti-histone proteins. The DNA memory coiling back to the dawn of life. A sense of the inevitability of immortality and interspecies symbiosis comes to all neurogenetic circuit mutants; we now see that this, also, is an evolutionary forecast, since WE STAND RIGHT NOW ON THE DOOR-STEP OF EXTENDED LONGEVITY LEADING TO IMMORTALITY.
The exact role of the right-lobe circuits and the reason for their activation in the 1960s cultural revolution now becomes clear. As sociologist F.M. Esfandiary writes in UPWINGERS, "Today when we speak of immortality and of going to another world we no longer mean these in a theological or metaphysical sense. People are now traveling to other worlds. People are now striving for immortality. Transcendence is no longer a metaphysical concept. It has become reality."
The evolutionary function of the seventh circuit and its evolutionary, aeon-spanning tunnel-reality is to prepare us for conscious immortality and interspecies symbiosis.
Amygdalae play a very important (though not crucial) role in the processing of emotions, particularly that of fear. In fact, a smaller amygdala volume tends to be associated with decreased fearfulness and enlarged amygdala volume with increased fearfulness. The study shows that there is a direct relationship between amygdala volume and fearfulness in healthy girls, which is particularly robust in girls who have direct family members who suffered from depression.

Indiana conservation officers who spent the weekend responding to numerous calls about people stranded by floodwaters were also called on to help a black bear.
Conservation officers were asked Sunday morning to check on a black bear left behind in its cage in Shelby County's Fairland area when flooding drove its owner from his home.
They found the 500-pound bear in about four feet of water within its 10-foot by 12-foot enclosure.
Conservation officers ruled out tranquilizing the bear, but they entered the bear's cage and created an elevated platform that allows the bear to get above the floodwaters.
Indiana law allows residents to possess black bears if they've obtained a permit from the Department of Natural Resources. The owner of the Shelby County bear had that required permit.

The crew at Vitriol Records is an incestuous bunch, and at the middle of it all is Justin Smith, a.k.a. Jason Schmidt, the label president and guitarist/sometimes vocalist in three of its bands: Graf Orlock, Dangers and Ghostlimb—the latter of which caught national attention last year for their Infrastructure LP. Their follow-up album, Confluence (due out in June), is the second in a trilogy of releases from the band.
For a classic hardcore trio, Ghostlimb are unusually conceptual and melodic, to the point they've taken shit for it from some reviewers. But it's no matter to Smith, er, Schmidt—there's no need to apologize in the DIY game, in which he and Vitriol are becoming big players.

Justin Smith: For a long time, in Graf Orlock, we used a separate set of names than our proper, given names for various reasons, including arrest, copyright infringement and generally annoying everyone we ever met. Hence, Jason Schmidt. Suffice it to say that having many names allows us to operate in two different realms of marginal fringe-music obscurity.
Please break down the relationship between Ghostlimb, Graf Orlock and Dangers.
There are several intermingled threads of incestuousness between all of the bands on Vitriol Records. Alan [Hunter, drummer] and I started Graf Orlock in 2004, and Ghostlimb started as a separate entity a year or so later with a separate drummer. Neal [Paul Sharma] has always been the bass player in Ghostlimb and was in the band Forming as well. [Hunter] had a one-year stint in Ghostlimb, and Alex [Tenaj, who played drums on the last two Ghostlimb LPs] used to drum for Dangers. One of the original guitar players of Dangers, Rollie [Ulug], who also recorded most of the records we have put out, now plays bass in Graf Orlock. I am still in all three bands. So you can see what a problem this is when it comes to executing anything in a decent time frame when everything pointlessly overlaps so much.
You've said that compared to other bands you're in, Ghostlimb "more accurately reflects what we are into." How is that so?
Ghostlimb are more specifically about ideas and have a trajectory different from Graf Orlock, which is almost all feel and whatever we want to do. Ghostlimb have always been about historical stuff, urban theory, literature, ecology—issues [Paul Sharma] and I have talked about for a long time. For me, it was always a way to write about things I hadn't seen people write about and play music in more of a melodic scope that I wanted to hear.
You're a history teacher. Which historical figure would you most like to see at a Ghostlimb show?
Confluence references Alexander the Great in one of the songs and overarching themes at the end of it. Although he was a true jerk in a lot of ways, there is a definite reason why people in the past 2,300 years have endlessly used him as a benchmark of world domination. Anyway, it might be interesting to see him at a show, asking for drink tickets, complaining about how loud it is and sad about there are no more lands to conquer in LA.
Do you ever feel jaded having been in the DIY game for this long?
Not really. There are things one would like to change about any situation, but for the most part, the only aggravating thing about DIY is people equating punk with being lazy or not getting things done. I think in reality it is the exact opposite. This stuff wouldn't exist if there weren't people working hard all over the world to bring bands from outside, to set up shows and tours, and to put out records. This is the only way any of our bands have been able to do anything.

Via Rail train service is "gradually resuming'' today on the Toronto to Montreal and Toronto to Ottawa routes, after a shutdown Friday.
Via spokeswoman Mylene Belanger says an early-morning departure from Toronto to Montreal was delayed for nearly three hours, but passengers are now on the move.
Service was shut down Friday after a collision between a Via train and a CN freight train east of Kingston, Ont.
Via says the freight train struck the passenger train's locomotive and a few cars about seven kilometres from Gananoque, Ont.
It says the train was travelling from Ottawa to Toronto with about 300 people on board. One passenger reported a minor injury.
Buses replaced train service on the two routes for the rest of Friday.

Canine Flea Control
To effectively control fleas, it is necessary to understand a little of their life cycle and habits.
Adult flea
- lives on the host animal (dog or cat), where the female lays her eggs
- flea eggs are laid on the host animal but fall off into the bedding, carpeting, and elsewhere in the animal's environment
• These pearly white eggs are barely visible to the naked eye and are usually impossible to find without a magnifying lens.
• Flea eggs hatch into larvae in 1-10 days, depending on the temperature and humidity; the warmer and more humid, the more rapidly the eggs hatch
- flea larvae feed on organic material in the environment and on the droppings from adult fleas
• They are sensitive to sunlight and to drying, so inside the house the larvae prefer deep carpet, bedding, and cracks in the floor boards
• Outside the house, the larvae prefer shaded areas that have plenty of organic material (grass, leaves, etc.) or moist, sheltered soil
• As the larvae feed on adult flea droppings, they are found in highest numbers in areas where flea-infested animals spend much of their time
- after 5-11 days, the larvae produce a fine cocoon in which they complete their development
• During this stage of their life cycle, fleas are resistant to insecticides
• In ideal conditions, adult fleas hatch from their cocoon in as little as 5 days, although fleas can survive in the pupated form for up to 5 months
• Hatching is stimulated by vibration, physical pressure, heat, and carbon dioxide; in other words, the presence of a potential host animal Immediately after hatching from its cocoon, the adult flea seeks out a host animal. It must have a meal of blood within a few days in order to survive and produce eggs. Within 2 days of her first blood meal, the female flea begins producing eggs. Fleas can continue to produce eggs for up to 100 days. A single flea can produce thousands of eggs.
What problems can fleas cause my dog?
Fleas feeding on your dog can cause several problems:
• Itching and scratching at the flea bite - in most dogs, the itching is mild and temporary
• Some dogs become allergic to flea saliva and develop severe itching, hair loss, and skin damage from scratching and biting at the site. If left untreated a skin infection can develop.
• Tapeworm infestation - fleas are an essential part of the tapeworm's life cycle
• The dog is infested with tapeworms when it swallows a flea that contains immature tapeworm stages
• Anemia - loss of red blood cells
• This occurs only with severe flea infestations, and usually only in young or sick animals
I haven't seen any fleas on my dog. So that means I don't have a flea problem, right?
Not necessarily.
It is easy to tell when a dog is heavily infested with fleas. You can see the fleas crawling over the dog's skin and through the hair. If your dog has only a light infestation, you may not see any fleas unless you look for them. A common place to see fleas is on your dog's belly and the inside of the thighs, where the hair is thin or the skin is bare. Another place to look is in the dense hair over your dog's rump, especially near the base of the tail. Part the hair and inspect the skin for either fleas or flea dirt.
Flea dirt is actually flea droppings. It looks like black grains of sand or cracked pepper on the dog's skin. If you place a few particles of flea dirt on a white surface (e.g. a piece of paper) and wet them, you will see a reddish brown stain form. This is because the flea droppings contain digested blood from the flea's blood meal. You may also notice tiny areas of dried blood on the dog's bedding from moistened flea dirt that has since dried.
How can I control fleas on my dog?
Effective flea control requires the three P's! Pets, Premise and Persistence:
Control of fleas on your dog
Control of fleas in your dog's environment
Controling fleas is an ongoing battle. Environmental control is probably the more important of the two. Adult fleas on your dog account for as little as 5% of the total flea population. Fleas can be shared by cats and dogs, so if you have a cat, it must also be treated.
Control of fleas on your dog
There are numerous products that will kill adult fleas on your dog. However, they vary in the duration of their effects:
• Flea shampoos, sprays, and powders - most will kill any fleas on your dog at the time of application, but they have no lasting effect
• Your dog may have more fleas within 24 hours of being treated
• Some of the newer sprays can be safely used every day, if necessary
• Flea rinses (dips) - may be effective for 4-5 days, depending on the product
• The rinse is applied after the dog has been shampooed; it is left to dry on the dog's coat
• Sprays containing flea growth regulators - depending on the product, these sprays are usually applied weekly
• The growth regulators help break the flea's life cycle
• Flea collars are not very effective in warm, humid climates (environments that are ideal for immature flea development)
• Some dogs are sensitive to flea collars and develop skin irritation under the collar; if this happens, you should remove the collar and use another method of flea control
• Spot-on products - Advantage® and Frontline® are two brand name products that are applied to a small area of the dog's skin; they effectively kill fleas for at least a month
• They kill the adult fleas, usually before the flea has had a chance to bite the dog
• Be sure to select the appropriate package for your dog's body weight
• Program® - a tablet that sterilizes any eggs laid by the fleas that feed on your dog
• You must give your dog the tablet once a month
• This drug does not kill the adult fleas on your dog, but it does break the flea life cycle by preventing hatching of the next generation of flea eggs
Control of fleas in your dog's environment
Control of fleas in your dog's environment is fairly simple for indoor dogs, especially if you have no other pets that regularly go outside. It is impossible to rid the outside environment of all fleas. Flea control in dogs that regularly go outside or live outside can be more difficult.
Unless you have strictly indoor pets, environmental control must target both your house and your yard:
• House - use a fogger or long-lasting spray to kill any adult and larval fleas
• If you have a particularly bad flea problem, it is often worth having a professional exterminator treat your home
• Fleas in the pupal (cocoon) stage are resistant to insecticides, including foggers, so it may be necessary for you to treat your home 2 or 3 times to get rid of all fleas
• The second treatment should be done 2 weeks after the first
• You should also wash or otherwise treat your dog's bedding on a regular basis
• Yard - spray your yard with an insecticide that has residual activity for at least 30 days
• For a difficult flea problem, consider having an exterminator treat your yard
• In warm, humid climates, it may be necessary to spray your yard every 30 days during the warmer months of the year
• Some newer products contain a growth regulator (fenoxycarb) and need to be applied only once or twice a year
My dog has been boarded while we were away, and now it has fleas. Did they come from the boarding kennel?
Your dog could also have gotten the fleas from your home. Unless stimulated, fleas can remain in the pupal (cocoon) stage for up to 5 months. So, if your house has been empty for several days or weeks, the unhatched fleas will have remained in their cocoons during that time. On your return, activity in the house and the presence of your dog or other pets will stimulate the fleas to hatch and reinfest your pets. Newly hatched adult fleas will also jump on people in search of a blood meal. They much prefer dogs and cats to humans.
Fleas in the pupal stage are resistant to insecticides. Treating your home with a fogger or long-acting spray just before you go away may not prevent this problem. It is best to maintain a flea control program throughout the year to effectively rid your pets and home of fleas.

Distributor offers lifeline to Japanese market
The launch of distributor PiX may be a lifeline for some foreign sales agents who have been starved of good news from the Japanese market in recent years.
Headed by Mio Sato, former head of Elephant Pictures, the company is a specialty label backed by the heavyweight Avex music, talent management and movies group.
Sato said PiX will acquire four or five arthouse movies per year, predominantly English-language titles with established helmers and strong scripts. One of its first pick-ups — from a Japanese helmer — is Cannes' Un Certain Regard title "Tokyo Sonata" by Kiyoshi Kurosawa.
"We are a director-driven company," Sato said. "Not because directors are the sales pitch, but because a good director makes the difference. Cast and script quality on their own are not enough."
Territory, which was once famous for its deep-pocketed buyers, has recently seen steep drops in prices paid by distribs and fewer films picked up. Reasons include the surge of local fare produced by TV companies, the peaking of the DVD market, sky high P&A costs and a concentration by TV buyers on local movies. Japan no longer even provides the runaway art-house hits that once occupied theaters for months and appeared to defy B.O. gravity.
As a consequence the number of distribs in the import biz has shrunk. Gaga last month announced that it will cease production and acquisition, Nippon Herald was absorbed into Kadokawa and Toshiba Entertainment simply quit the business. Sato is mindful of costs. It will focus on acquisition and marketing, farming out distribution to others. And its Cannes debut sees company bring only four staff.
"Not many people in Japan go to the cinema any more. PiX task will be to get people out of their homes to watch movies," Sato said.
In fighting the movie-market trend, Avex sees itself as diversifying and providing outlets for its talent roster and also taking a very long term view. Parent company is fast-becoming one of the most significant players in the Japanese and Asian film industries. Company is moving up the budget scale in what it acquires and produces. Last year it launched a Hong Kong-based subsid Avex Asia which is putting together ambitious pan-regional co-prods and is the largest single investor in John Woo's $80 million "Red Cliff."

Another true fact: I am in desperate need of — something.
As I write this I'm sitting in a park pavilion early on a Saturday morning. I'm supposed to be taking photos of a kids' triathlon for the newspaper, but right now, as the littlest kids are in the pool and on their bikes and running their little legs off, I'm not taking their pictures.
Recently, I bought a jazzy new camera, a red one, with a zoomy lens.
A tent revival will be held May 17, 18 and 19, at Calvary Full Gospel Church, located at Westside Fire Department in Prestonville. On Friday, May 17, the church will hold its CAYR dinner from 5-7 p.m., singing and service with Pastor Mike Stephens to follow. On Saturday, May 18, there will be a cookout from 1-5 p.m., with free hamburgers and hot dogs, inflatables for the children, music all afternoon followed by service at 6 p.m., with speaker, Pastor Jim Stewart.
We are celebrating the final week of the Easter Season. This Sunday we begin celebrating a new spiritual reality—the feast of Pentecost—in which the fullness of the spirit came to rest over the apostles (Acts of the Apostles 2:1-12).
Freed of their fears following the crucifixion, and strengthened by the power of the spirit, they were ready to whole-heartedly preach, teach and heal in the name of Jesus Christ.

A few weeks back I wrote about "What's making me happy," which got a great response from people.
Some sent emails or stopped me in the market to tell me what's making them happy. Seems everyone was riding the happiness train.
But then someone pointed out that God never promised us happiness and that those who pursue it never obtain it.
There's always a buzz kill in every crowd.
Still, the person had a good point and one worth exploring.

Oil Advances With Equities as Brent's Premium Widens
Oil advanced with U.S. equities on a report that housing prices fell less than expected and speculation that inventories declined last week. Brent crude's premium to New York futures widened the most in four months.
Crude reversed losses in late trading as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained, led by homebuilders. The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities fell 1.9 percent in April from a year earlier, the smallest drop since November 2010. Oil stockpiles may have fallen 1.3 million barrels last week, the median estimate of 12 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
"This is an equity-driven market," said Rich Ilczyszyn, chief market strategist and founder of Iitrader.com in Chicago. "Oil is underpinned by outside market influences. And since the market has come down so fast, the risk is to the upside."
Oil for August delivery increased 15 cents, or 0.2 percent, to settle at $79.36 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices have fallen 23 percent this quarter, the biggest drop since the final three months of 2008.
Prices were little changed after the American Petroleum Institute said oil inventories grew 507,000 barrels last week to 385.7 million. The August contract gained 19 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $79.40 a barrel in electronic trading. The contract was at $79.42 before the report was released at 4:30 p.m.
Brent crude for August settlement rose $2.01, or 2.2 percent, to $93.02 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. Brent's premium to West Texas Intermediate widened for the third straight day, rising to $13.66 from yesterday's $11.80. The increase of $1.86 was the largest since Feb. 6.
S&P Rises
The S&P 500 advanced 0.5 percent, erasing an earlier decline of 0.3 percent. The drop in the housing index was smaller than the 2.5 percent decline forecast by economists surveyed by Bloomberg and followed a 2.6 percent decrease in the year ended March.
"The Case-Shiller index is raising some optimism in the housing market," said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research in Winchester, Massachusetts.
U.S. oil inventories may have dropped 1.3 million barrels last week, the median estimate of 12 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. The Energy Department releases the inventory report at 10:30 a.m. in Washington. Inventories were 387.3 million barrels as of June 15, the highest level since 1990.
Brent's premium to WTI widened the most since Feb. 6 as the European benchmark surged on concern that supply from Iran will be disrupted. Iranian Deputy Oil Minister Ahmad Ghalebani said exports may "gradually" decline by as much as 30 percent after sanctions start next week amid field maintenance work.
Iran Plans
Iran is planning workovers and maintenance on oil fields just as the European Union sanctions begin, Ghalebani, who is also head of National Iranian Oil Co., told reporters at an energy conference in Moscow.
An EU embargo aimed at derailing Iran's nuclear enrichment program will come into effect July 1 after talks with the Persian Gulf state failed to reach a breakthrough.
"As we come closer to the July deadline, the Iran risk is increasing," Ilczyszyn said. "We are well stocked in WTI, and the Middle East risk is better reflected on the Brent contracts."
Oil declined earlier on concern the European debt crisis is worsening and as data showed U.S. consumer confidence declined to a five-month low.
European proposals to reshape the crisis-struck euro area ran into immediate criticism from Germany for putting too much emphasis on debt sharing and too little on controlling national budgets. Chancellor Angela Merkel told lawmakers of her ruling coalition she "doesn't see" shared debt happening in the euro area, according to Steffen Seibert, her chief spokesman.
Market 'Uncertainty'
"There is a lot of uncertainty in the market not just on the economic side but also on the fundamental side," said Jacob Correll, a Louisville, Kentucky-based analyst at Summit Energy Inc., which manages more than $20 billion in companies' annual energy spending. "Nothing that's been done so far in Europe is really giving the market a lot of confidence."
The consumer confidence index fell to 62 this month from a revised 64.4 in the prior month, the Conference Board reported. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg predicted a reading of 63.
Oil demand in the U.S., the world's biggest user, will decline for a second year in 2012, according to Energy Department estimates.
"We are getting a lot of supplies and economic sentiment is getting worse," Correll said. "The market is concerned that things could get worse in Europe."
Electronic trading volume on the Nymex was 423,700 contracts as of 4:34 p.m. in New York. Volume totaled 425,191 contracts yesterday, 24 percent below the three-month average. Open interest was 1.42 million.

A Malaysian court has approved the extradition of an Iranian man who is suspected of being involved in an alleged bomb plot against Israeli diplomats in Thailand earlier this year.
Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, who was arrested at Kuala Lumpur's international airport on February 15, is among several Iranian suspects held over incidents in Bangkok that saw Tehran accused of a terror campaign against Israel — which it denied.
The alleged bomb plot emerged after an apparently unintended explosion at a house in the Thai capital in February. One suspect in the alleged Iranian terror cell, Saeid Moradi, 28, threw a grenade at

Las Vegas based original Roots Rock Reggae band infusing elements of Rock, Pop, R&B, Soul, Island, Blues, Folk, and Afrobeat & Tribal. Focused on the promotion of positive vibes empowered by the strength of both faith & the lord almighty, nothing short of a blessing. PEACE LOVE POWER
Comprised of Al Rubin, Esther Geronimo, Derek Jordan, Brandon Smith, Hunter Clark & Jay Matts, all from different areas (mainly in the US). Rubin & Geronimo moved to the states from the Hawaiian Islands in the early 2000's to pursue professional/personal movement and met Jordan, Smith & Clark upon having settled in Las Vegas, NV. Rubin, having a Hip-Hop/R&B background, began to branch out & write original reggae songs & incorporated them into his new project, Da Soulution, created with members (Jordan, Smith & Clark). After many changes & different line-ups over the years (including members even switching instruments), Matts (having been formerly a member of Stoney Holiday & United Roots) joined soon after in early 2013 to bring final solidity to the group & their Island-Roots-Reggae sound. The powers that be brought these six pioneers together to create a new type of traditionally inspired roots rock reggae. By infusing different cultures, attitudes, styles & feelings, Da Soulution has made extreme efforts to continue to push reggae back into America's culturistic appreciation for different music.
Da Soulution has shared the stage w/several talented artists over the years including: Daniel Marley, Inner Circle, Fortunate Youth, Bunny Cunningham & Lady Reiko.
Much is to come of this group including touring accompanied by new musical releases & spreading the powerful positive vibration of music, reggae music. BLESSED

After three impressive performances to begin the season, the CSB hockey team is looking to avenge their record from last season. Last year's squad finished the season with a record of 3-12-3 in the conference, giving them a No. 9 finish.
This year's team, however, has shown drastic improvements early on, tying Concordia-Moorhead 3-3 on Nov. 2. Concordia entered the game boasting a No. 10 ranking within the nation and a projected second place conference finish. Junior goalie Kaitlyn Rolando played an impressive game, stopping 23 of the 26 shots she faced. On the offensive side, Brettingen continued her early success by scoring her third goal of the season in the second period.
"We played a really good game as a team and we did all the little things right," head coach Jennifer Kranz said. "We competed hard in the second period and when we got behind, we never got down, which is a big difference from last year."
To follow up their strong performance against Concordia, the Blazers tied a tough St. Olaf team 1-1 the following night. This game featured another strong goaltending performance, but this time it came from sophomore Jenna Traut, who stopped 35 shots in the game. The lone goal came from senior Ashley Olson, her second of the season.
"It was our first road game of the season and we did a good job of handling that adversity," Kranz said. "We fought and battled hard until late in the game when we scored the tying goal."
Even after these early successes, the Blazers will play the underdog all season long. Preseason rankings place the team at No. 10 in the conference, three points behind Hamline. Gustavus sits atop the rankings after coming off of an impressive season that included a MIAC Championship and a fourth place finish at the NCAA Championship.
Despite the strength of the teams in the MIAC, Kranz is confident about her team's ability to compete and win in the conference.
"We don't pay a ton of attention to rankings," Kranz said. "It's just something that lets the team know they have something to prove. Our goal is just to improve from year to year."
The Blazers begin their conference season with back-to-back games against rival St. Thomas. The first game will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 8 at the St. Cloud Municipal Athletic Complex and the latter will be played at 2 p.m. on Nov. 10 in St. Paul.

A few years ago I was teaching a literature course in a Mid-western university and I used an assignment each semester to help assess the students' learning in the course. The objective of the assignment was for students to select a work that we had read in the course and to choose a medium other than writing to express the themes in the literature. They did have to accompany their artistic renderings with an artist's statement, but the assessment was holistic. The course objectives essentially reflected the ideas that are captured in Boise State's ULO 10: "Apply knowledge and the methods of inquiry characteristic of literature and other humanities disciplines to interpret and produce texts expressive of the human condition."
The image you see below is an artifact of a student's learning. It reflects the student's interpretation of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House. If you are unfamiliar with the play, see the synopsis courtesy of Spark Notes. The students' work brings out primary tensions in the work (laws and cultural norms that are "black and white" and that enforce rigidity; the acts that one does in the dark --albeit well meaning -- coming back to cause injury in the light of day; tension between the gender roles to which the characters must adhere, etc.)
This charcoal drawing (20" x 30") hangs on my office wall -- so you can visit it in person and we can talk about this assignment if you are interested
Using the criteria for ULO 10, my assessment of the work is marked on the attached rubric. The act of "reading" this work against the rubric that we use for the ULO and then basing my assessment on that criteria parallels grading. The only difference is that the criteria for a grade are aligned with the criteria on the rubric. You'll notice on the attached that some of the criteria cannot be assessed with this assignment. That is fine -- not every criteria on the rubric needs to be addressed. You'll also notice that the students written artist statement would have to be the source for assessing some of the criteria. Since I am not showing that here, you cannot see how that is scored.
The main point of this post is that it is not the writing that is the basis for the assessment - the written artist's statement and the artist's rendering operate together to communicate the students' understanding of the original work and can be assessed against the rubric to understand her learning.
As a professor, the assessment tells me that I might want to adjust the assignment if I wanted to be able to gather more evidence of the student's learning relative to the criteria that remain unanswered by this artifact.

The ACC's move to hold its conference tournament in Brooklyn in 2017 and 2018 became official Wednesday, with Barclays Center officials announcing the news.
As part of the deal, the Atlantic 10 will continue holding its league championship at Barclays Center in 2015 and 2016 before giving way to the ACC for the next two years. The ACC and A-10 will also hold interconference doubleheaders at Barclays Center in 2015, 2016 and 2017, and the A-10 has also locked down a spot for its teams to play in the annual Brooklyn Hoops events at the arena.
The A-10 will return to Barclays Center for its league tournament in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
The ACC had begun eyeing the New York City area as a potential market destination when it expanded to include former Big East teams Syracuse, Pitt and Notre Dame, but faced a holdup in the fact that the Big East is locked in to hosting its tournament at Madison Square Garden for the foreseeable future and that the A-10 already had a deal in place with the Barclays Center through 2017.
The ACC tournament has been held in Greensboro the past two years and four out of the last five. Virginia won this year's event, defeating Duke 72-63 in the final.
"We have mixed emotions as we have grown to love the Greensboro tournament experience," North Carolina State coach Mark Gottfried said in a statement. "Yet, I do feel strongly that the New York presence for the ACC will additionally elevate the perception of our league being the most exciting basketball conference in the nation."

The training session is over and trainees have returned to their jobs to begin applying what they've learned, so the trainer's job is done, right? Wrong.
A successful training program is always a work in progress, and the training cycle isn't complete without an evaluation of training's effectiveness, which leads to decision-making and planning for future training. Therefore, a useful and informative evaluation program needs to be a part of your overall training operation.
Here are several methodologies for evaluation as well as practical ways to retrieve good results.
To begin with, what should you be looking for in your evaluations?
This is a lot of information to gather; fortunately there are many methods and tools available to help you.
Donald Kirkpatrick, author of many books, such as Evaluating Training Programs: The Four Levels and Another Look at Evaluating Training Programs, created a four-level evaluation system more than 40 years ago, which has stood the test of time and continues to be utilized in many training programs today. Here are Kirkpatrick's four levels of evaluation.
Kirkpatrick's first level evaluates how well participants liked the training session. If you're interested in running the best training program possible, you want participants to be motivated for and engaged with training. This exercise gives trainees the opportunity to give feedback to the trainer on the pros and cons of the session, which is valuable information that shows trainers specific areas to
Follow these tips when obtaining feedback on trainees' reactions:
Ideally, trainers will include reaction surveys as the final section of training sessions
and will insist on 100 percent participation. Make surveys easy to fill out
by following these guidelines:
This level measures how much of the desired principles, techniques, and skills trainees learned in the training session. In order to determine what trainees learn during a session, you need to know what they knew before training.
Follow these suggestions for measuring learning:
The third level measures employee behavior changes based on training. Your goal is to see how
well trainees incorporate learned principles, skills, and knowledge into their jobs on a permanent
basis—or at least until they learn a new and better way to perform.
Follow these methods for evaluating behavior:
Kirkpatrick's first three levels focus on trainees and the effect of training on their performance.
The last level in Kirkpatrick's evaluation model focuses on the results of training on the company in
terms of:
Follow these suggestions for measuring the results of training on the company's overall
Some training professionals consider ROI analysis to be one method for determining the results of Kirkpatrick's fourth level of evaluation. Others consider ROI its own level and make it the 5th level of evaluation. In any case, this method is an effective way to measure the success of your training program.
ROI analysis gives the trainer data about the financial impact training programs have on the organization. It differs from Level IV evaluation in the sense that Level IV takes into consideration nonfinancial data such as employee satisfaction. ROI analysis deals strictly with the financial impact of training. It answers the question "For every dollar invested in training, how many dollars does the employer get back?"
Here are three great reasons to use ROI analysis:
Many business executives view training as a business expense and, therefore, measure its worth in terms of profits made or savings earned from this expense. You need to make sure training is seen as beneficial to your company. Use the following formula when measuring the ROI for your company to get the percentage of profit earned for every training dollar spent.
To get the figures for this formula, keep track of training costs, including:
After training, keep track of monetary benefits, including:
Here's an example for Ace Widget Company. Assume that a widget-making skills training session increased production by 20% and that a 1% increase in production yielded $40,000 in annual
$800,000 total benefits
$200,000 in total cost
[(800,000-200,000)/200,000] x 100=300%
$800,000 total benefits
$200,000 in total cost
[(800,000-200,000)/200,000] x 100=300%
$800,000 total benefits
$200,000 in total cost
[(800,000-200,000)/200,000] x 100=300%
So in this example for every $1 spent on training, the organization gained a net benefit of $3.
ROI Analysis is fast becoming an essential level of evaluation for companies who invest in
Tests can be used for collecting information at all five levels of evaluation. They can be given prior
to training, during training, and after training. There are several types of tests from which to choose.
When designing true-false tests, keep these factors in mind:
These tests may be the most popular with trainees, but they can be the hardest to write for trainers. Follow these suggestions when designing multiple choice tests:
This type of test is used less often but can be fun for the trainee and much easier to design for trainers. Here's how to write a matching quiz:
These tests can be tricky to write, but they prove that trainees learned the information because they have to produce the right answer without seeing it on the page as in any of the previous tests mentioned. Follow these tips for composing fill in the blank questions:
Some other evaluation methods include first-hand observation and production data analysis. You can use observation both in the classroom to monitor trainees as they practice new skills and later on the job to see how they're incorporating training into their performance. Your goal is to see how well the trainee learned the skill. You can develop a rating scale or simply make comments.
Use production data analysis by keeping track of production quotas and other data before and after training. Compare the results to see measurable ways training improved job performance. Make sure you take into account variables other than training that could have affected performance when you look at these numbers.
In order to ensure your training has been effective, you need to do more than evaluate. You also
need to take post-training time to help trainees transfer new skills and knowledge to the workplace—
and to make these changes stick. You may need to help employees overcome certain obstacles
to applying training to the job.
Here are common obstacles employees may encounter:
Here's how you can help trainees avoid obstacles to transferring what they've learned:
Investing in human capital is a wise decision for every organization. Training makes better employees, and better employees make better companies. Keep in mind training is much more than a one-time event as long as methods and technologies keep changing the way we work. For companies to stay competitive, they must invest in their employees by turning them into lifelong learners.
Follow the steps outlined in this manual to design and run an effective training program that will motivate and train your workforce to be the best in the industry—and that will have positive effects on every department in your company.
With these steps in hand, you're now ready to put together a top-notch training program.
