6/21 {Can't Afford It/Get Over It} Flapper-Style Reception Dress
This week's CAI/GOI request is all about finding a wedding gown you can really shake it in, aka "The Reception Dress". Many brides choose a gown that is a bit more elegant (errr, constrictive?) to wear during the ceremony. But when it comes time to bust a move on the dance floor, many of these elegant ceremony gowns do not allow for maximum bust-age. And coming from a bride who lives to dance, there is no chance in H-E-double hockey sticks that I would let myself be constricted during a dance party entirely dedicated to ME. So when bride Sarah sent me her plea to find help find her a flapper style reception dress, I just knew I had to help a fellow mover n' shaker out. Read what she had to say:
Love these ruffled flapper dresses, but don't want to go overboard spending on a reception dress. Any help is appreciated!
All the best –

During their August recess, members of the Senate toured their home states, facing heated questions about pending health care reforms. At the same time, back in Washington, D.C., many of their staff members were busy crafting climate legislation. And just like health care reform, it appears there are plenty of Americans willing to wade into the climate fray.
Even without cap and trade legislation, however, the concept of sequestering carbon in forests and crops has already made it to the Mid-South. GreenTrees, based in Virginia, has expanded sign-ups in the region over the last several years and expects even more acres in the coming months.
GreenTrees is keeping both a keen eye on what Congress is proposing in the way of climate legislation and an ear towards what their Mid-South customer base is saying about it.
In late August, representatives of the company, Page Gravely, senior director for landowner enrollment and program marketing, and Chandler Van Voorhis, partner and corporate development officer, spoke with Delta Farm Press about the progress and potential of sequestration in the Mid-South, problems ŌĆö both real and perceived ŌĆö with the legislation, and the possibility of cap and trade having to wait until 2010. Among their comments:
Quick sketch of what your business is?
Van Voorhis: ŌĆ£Basically, GreenTrees is a forest carbon origination program that marries private capital with private landowners. The intention is to deliver conservation forests that all parties are happy with.
ŌĆ£From our standpoint, Duke Energy is our lead investor. They obviously have a high concern about how theyŌĆÖll manage their carbon footprint, like any utility. For them, investing in the origination of forest carbon offsets, or credits ŌĆö or however you want to refer to them ŌĆö is something theyŌĆÖve taken a very proactive stance in doing.
ŌĆ£Our approach, from the land side, is to put together a planting practice that (produces) a beautiful hardwood forest at the end of the day and, along the way, create multiple points of revenue for the landowner. The (resulting) forest is something the conservationists will be proud of, the landowner will be proud of and that Duke will be proud of.
ŌĆ£We continue year in and out to put capital to work and work with private landowners that look to take lands that frequently flood, or are of marginal value in terms of crop yield. Instead, of having one income (on such marginal land), itŌĆÖll have multiple layers of income from the planted forest.ŌĆØ
Can you bring us up to speed on the acreage signed up? What are you expecting in the next year or two?
Gravely: ŌĆ£2008 was our inaugural year and we enrolled approximately 2,500 acres. This yearŌĆÖs enrollment will be wrapped up in the next 30 to 45 days and we expect to get at least the same amount, potentially double it.
ŌĆ£Compared to last year, this yearŌĆÖs sign-ups are highlighted by much larger tracts of land. In 2008, we averaged about 135 acres per tract. This year, the average is about 350 acres. So landowners are putting sizable chunks in the program. Most notable, the largest to date is a 1,200-acre tract around Tallulah, La., in Madison Parish. In Arkansas, weŌĆÖve got a tract of about 500 acres in Fort Collins in the western part of the state. Another 450-acre tract is enrolled near Stuttgart.
ŌĆ£Regarding next yearŌĆÖs expansion, a lot depends on what compliance legislation is. Clearly the GreenTrees model ŌĆö such as the 70-year term that defines carbon permanence ŌĆö will be directly impacted by how ŌĆśpermanenceŌĆÖ is defined in pending (cap and trade) legislation. That said, we anticipate expanding both our personnel in the Mid-South and achieving a significant growth rate in enrollment.ŌĆØ
What about the climate debate in the last session of Congress? Pros and cons from your perspective?
Gravely: ŌĆ£As you read what the climate bill is trying to achieve in terms of scale, the landowner is the key participant. This fusion of energy and agricultural markets, from our perspective, at the end of the day itŌĆÖs a voluntary land-use decision by landowners. How do they choose to use their land? And weŌĆÖre strong proponents of choices for the landowner.
ŌĆ£Historically, theyŌĆÖll go where the best economic value ŌĆö the highest and best use of their acres based on soils and other objectives ŌĆö (along with) legacy objectives and family estate objectives.
ŌĆ£In order to scale for carbon sequestration projects, economic incentives must be in place. Regulations must be such that there is a beneficial, easy path for the landowners.
ŌĆ£As for the pending legislation, if the landowner is restricted too much itŌĆÖll be very difficult to achieve scale. WeŌĆÖre not such a proponent that weŌĆÖre saying ŌĆśtrees are good and agriculture is bad.ŌĆÖ ItŌĆÖs always a choice of the best use.
ŌĆ£Our focus is on a lot of the frequently flooded and marginal land ŌĆö thereŌĆÖs a lot of it in the Delta that should go back to trees. ThatŌĆÖs the area thatŌĆÖs ripe for their legislation to scale great pools of carbon sequestration practices that benefits everyone ŌĆö but first it has to benefit the landowner.
ŌĆ£We want to see the landowner engage in smart farming and that entails keeping soils in crop production. Where possible, fields could maybe be squared off for efficiency of tractor and diesel use.
ŌĆ£Areas that flood or have marginal soil composition could go into biomass production or reforestation programs that yield better benefits and a diversified income stream coming into the farm.ŌĆØ
On the House climate legislationŌĆ"
Van Voorhis: ŌĆ£On the policy side, you have to remember that most of the folks involved in the debate ŌĆö or writing it ŌĆö probably 95 percent writing the ag side have probably never been on a farm. From our side, we try to inject what weŌĆÖre hearing from landowners, whatŌĆÖs practical. A lot of times whatŌĆÖs represented on the Hill, regardless of which side of the aisle, comes from an institutional land bias, not producer/landowner.
ŌĆ£We try to inject a unique perspective and make sure what is written has an equitable reach across all types of landowners.
ŌĆ£That said, specifically, we saw a lot of wrangling at the last minute on the agriculture titles. At one point, the environmental groups pushed for EPA to regulate the offset market. We fought that tooth and nail and felt that was a bad use of their infrastructure and knowledge base; that USDA had better infrastructure and knowledge on this, which won out at the end of the day.
ŌĆ£The carve-outs that (House Agriculture Committee chairman Collin) Peterson had done over what (House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry) Waxman was proposing were positive for agriculture and forestry.
ŌĆ£Among the remaining issues is the fact that so much of the volume is being given away to the international market. Obviously, we want to see more of that balance moving to the U.S. domestic market. Of the 2 billion tons that could come in annually for offsets, the House bill allows 1 billion to come from the international market and 1 billion from the domestic market.ŌĆØ
On other outstanding issuesŌĆ"
Van Voorhis: ŌĆ£In the weeds, there are rules on how long the rules of engagement will be. CaliforniaŌĆÖs CAR (Climate Action Registry) is pushing 100-year (terms) as the minimal threshold entry into the market. ThereŌĆÖs a big push for (federal rules on carbon programs to be) 100 years. We fundamentally believe thatŌĆÖs wrong.
ŌĆ£At the same time, EPA believes there will be 18 million acres that (will accept those terms). We dispute that. We believe the longer the (terms) the fewer acres will go into such programs.
On the Hill, weŌĆÖve been pushing to create three levels of offsets: a five-year level, a 20-year or 30-year level, as well as the 100 years. Our thought is very few people will pick 100 years and youŌĆÖll see more opting for something like Wetland Reserve ProgramŌĆÖs 30-year instrument.
ŌĆ£I told someone on the Hill, we need ŌĆśto create multiple entry points that a landowner may participate in. Then, let the market decide the price of each instrument and let the landowner choose what level he wants to participate at.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Reception lately for that message? Any shift?
Van Voorhis: Concerns ŌĆ£for the legislation have moved decidedly into the ag/forestry side now that itŌĆÖs in the Senate. ThatŌĆÖs because of the composition of the Senate.
ŌĆ£I expect that the Senate bill will be friendlier to agriculture/forestry than the House bill. And I expect that in the conference committee ŌĆö with Peterson having a large representation on the House side ŌĆö things will be worked over (to agricultureŌĆÖs benefit) even more.
ŌĆ£Ag and forestry is on the right path. But the devil is always in the details and when youŌĆÖve got a 1,400- or 1,500-page document ŌĆö and something thatŌĆÖs more interlaced than even the farm bill in terms of how each section refers to the other ŌĆö itŌĆÖs slow, challenging and arduous.ŌĆØ
I think what youŌĆÖre offering farmers and landowners is fantastic. ŌĆ" But should it be decoupled from climate change? It seems thatŌĆÖs a sticking point for the types of programs you guys are involved with that you donŌĆÖt need.
Van Voorhis: ŌĆ£When you look at the totality of the climate issue on a global basis, China emits roughly 25 percent of the worldŌĆÖs emissions, now. TheyŌĆÖve surpassed the U.S., which is at 24 percent. Deforestation accounts for another 20 percent in the world.
ŌĆ£When you couple all three of those, thatŌĆÖs where the game is. The game is in forestry ŌĆö how to deal with existing stands of worldwide forests ŌĆö and how the U.S. and China deal with it. Everything else, in my opinion, is ancillary to those three. That isnŌĆÖt to say Europe isnŌĆÖt important ŌĆö but it just isnŌĆÖt as big an issue whenŌĆØ measured against the Big Three.
ŌĆ£The big piece to solve this issue is still largely off the table. ThereŌĆÖs no mechanism for dealing with deforestation on a formal basis, although theyŌĆÖre trying. China isnŌĆÖt at the table. And weŌĆÖre not at the table, other than what weŌĆÖre considering right now.
ŌĆ£So why cap and trade? What does it deliver? Historically, when this nation put cap and trade in the 1990 Clean Air Act around sulfur dioxide and combined to the power sector, it reduced the acid rain and sulfur dioxide in five years by 70 percent. So, if done right, this can rapidly reduce emissions.
ŌĆ£Carbon is a bit of a different animal. ThatŌĆÖs because it isnŌĆÖt just a power sector (issue) but is everything. ThatŌĆÖs where this cap and trade bill has gotten off track. ItŌĆÖs become very top heavy and prescriptive. ThatŌĆÖs a concern thatŌĆÖs beginning to get out into the marketplace.ŌĆØ
On achieving scaleŌĆ"
Van Voorhis: ŌĆ£What we see as a way of dealing with the climate change if itŌĆÖs as acute as everyone says is, we like to say, ŌĆśif science is right, scale is everything.ŌĆÖ How do you achieve scale?
ŌĆ£Well, everything on the offset side starts with the landowner. Everything has to be designed toward ŌĆśhow do I get massive participation?ŌĆÖ
ŌĆ£That becomes, ŌĆśthe landowner can participate on the offset side, but he can also work on the renewable energy side. ThatŌĆÖs whether growing corn, growing plantations for woodchips for biomass.ŌĆÖ
ŌĆ£How do we level that choice? One of the things IŌĆÖve pounded on in D.C. is the rules are so easy on the biomass side and so difficult on the offset side. Like water, the landowner will go where thereŌĆÖs the least resistance. We need a balance of both.
ŌĆ£We see a possibility that because this bill has become so top-heavy that renewable energy may be pulled out. That would become a separate component with a push towards a renewable electricity standard. That would create a national standard ŌĆö say, by 2012, 6 percent of the grid must be made from renewable energy. By 2020, 20 percent needs to be there.
ŌĆ£Cap and trade legislation would then be left to next year.
ŌĆ£That approach would favor the biomass side, which the Delta would benefit from. Anything you stick in the ground there will grow ŌĆö whether willow, cottonwood or switchgrass and corn. ThereŌĆÖs a lot that could happen.
ŌĆ£But in the end, the renewable energy side may be pushed first. Cap and trade would then follow next year.ŌĆØ
The first thing growers say to me is: ŌĆ£We have to go first? WeŌĆÖre going to trust China to come to the table? WeŌĆÖre already being screwed on trade in so many different ways and weŌĆÖre going to implement this huge thing and trust theyŌĆÖll follow along?ŌĆØ
Van Voorhis: ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve heard that. I think that goes back to the fear of NAFTA and that sits in the back of peopleŌĆÖs minds when they say, ŌĆśIf we bind ourselves here, weŌĆÖll just be sending jobs and production halfway around the world.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
What about those espousing the alarmist climate scenario? You know, Manhattan will be underwater in 20 years, or whatever. If such dire predictions are true, cap and trade would only seem to be nibbling at the problemŌĆÖs edges.
Van Voorhis: ŌĆ£The other way of saying it is, ŌĆśIf AL Gore is right, then scale is everything and everything must be built around scale.ŌĆÖ
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve worked closely with a lot of the insurance and re-insurance industry. They have some of the best climate analysts in the world looking at this. They take a lot of different risks while re-insuring companies.
ŌĆ£For decades, theyŌĆÖve been scared about this. ItŌĆÖs no accident that (Sen. Joe) Lieberman has been the co-sponsor of two of the main bills ŌĆö McCain-Lieberman and Warner-Lieberman. He comes from the insurance side.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve seen various (predictive) models of what might happen.
ŌĆ£Most environmental problems are going back and repairing whatŌĆÖs happened. Climate change presents a different issue: preparing for the future, whether itŌĆÖs as bleak as (Gore) claims or itŌĆÖs as moderate as others claim. But you donŌĆÖt want to find out too late.
ŌĆ£So how do we do things that make more common sense on a scale basis? From our standpoint, there are a couple of ways. You create the entry points on renewable energy, biomass, and the sequestration side.
ŌĆ£The other thing is the federal government owns a lot of land, a lot of forest. We could provide an example to South America by taking the forest and using it as an insurance reserve in the marketplace ŌĆö kind of an FDIC. ŌĆ" That would help teach places like Brazil, Indonesia and China how to create a mechanism to solve that 20 percent deforestation issue I spoke on earlier.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve suggested that on the Hill because it seems a missing infrastructure piece on how this market could be formed. We hope a federal carbon reserve will make it into the final piece of legislation.
ŌĆ£But, youŌĆÖre right: we must think big. There is a lot of worry that the House bill isnŌĆÖt bold enough, isnŌĆÖt aggressive enough.
ŌĆ£The flip side of that is the economy is currently in the toilet. How aggressive do you get when thatŌĆÖs the case? WeŌĆÖre kind of caught between the doom-and-gloom of the financial world and the doom-and-gloom of Mother Nature. What to do? Well, we should default to common sense.ŌĆØ
You mentioned the markets. ThatŌĆÖs another thing folks are concerned about with cap and trade. As you said, weŌĆÖve just had a financial meltdown, essentially, on Wall Street. Can you assuage the worries about these (cap and trade) markets? How can they be structured so there wonŌĆÖt be fears that they too will be manipulated by Wall Street bankers?
Van Voorhis: ŌĆ£Any market needs some degree of speculation. Those are the people that buy. However, over-speculation leads to problems.
ŌĆ£There are amendments in the Senate looking to deal with how to curtail carbon from becoming the next asset bubble.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs good that theyŌĆÖre thinking and worried about it. ItŌĆÖs probably bad because anytime government tampers with (such), it creates other issues.
ŌĆ£There are no guarantees, though. Carbon is expected to be the largest commodity market in the world in the next couple of years. Already, $128 billion traded hands last year. That was up from $64 billion the year before.
ŌĆ£The market is growing. ItŌĆÖs growing tremendously on the voluntary side in the EU.
ŌĆ£How to deal with speculation? ThatŌĆÖs tough. I donŌĆÖt have a handle on how to solve that.
ŌĆ£Let me give you an example of unintended consequences when D.C. meddles in something. When they created the corn ethanol provisions, D.C. miscalculated the human appetite for corn versus the industrial appetite.
ŌĆ£Meddling in prescriptive behavior is a problem because you donŌĆÖt know where the bubbles will form. There are some worries that biomass might be the next asset bubble. Or, will farmland prices be an asset bubble since there will be so much pressure: food production, fuel production, carbon, and everything else.
ŌĆ£These are all rational thoughts that need to be dealt with. China is a big vacuum cleaner for commodities. What will that mean to the big picture? China is already here trying to buy huge volumes of wood pellets to power their power plants.
ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs a lot of anxiety in the marketplace. The only way to get rid of that is to create a balanced regulatory framework.ŌĆØ
Anything we havenŌĆÖt discussed?
Van Voorhis: ŌĆ£There have been some studies on what demand for offsets will be. A Point Carbon study ŌĆö the industry leader in such studies ŌĆö says the potential demand for offsets of all types is roughly between 230 million tons and 550 million tons.
ŌĆ£The question then is how to create supply to meet those tons? ThatŌĆÖs a tremendous amount of acreage whether youŌĆÖre doing no-till agriculture, forestry or some type of grass. ThatŌĆÖs got to get into the game by 2012.
ŌĆ£At dayŌĆÖs end, how do we write this thing and bring it back, as (Gravely) says, ŌĆśto the landowner.ŌĆÖ It starts with the landowner. How to provide him choices that make economic sense so we have the opportunity to deal with these issues on a scale basis?ŌĆØ

JERUSALEM, Israel - Forty armed al-Qaeda terrorists, equipped with bulletproof vests and night-vision goggles, executed a coordinated effort on the 'freedom' flotilla's Mavi Marmara to attack Israeli forces attempting to intercept the ship, Israeli military officials said Wednesday.
The terrorists attacked the soldiers with chains, metal pipes and stun grenades.
Military investigators believe the quasi-Turkish humanitarian relief fund, IHH, recruited most of the jihadists from Turkey, though a few hailed from Yemen and Indonesia. Investigators are tracing some detainees to previous terror attacks.
None of them carried any form of identity, and each had the same large amount of cash in an envelope.
Click here for the latest video footage of the attack.
Late Tuesday, the government approved the deportation of 124 detainees to Jordan where they will be sent to their home countries, which include Pakistan, Indonesia, Syria, Morocco, Kuwait, Jordan, and Mauritania.
"This was no peace flotilla, but a violent and planned force," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the security Cabinet on Wednesday.
"We have film and pictures that underscore what our soldiers faced, and the last thing that could possibly be said about that ship is that it was a peace ship," he said.
Wounded soldiers who Netanyahu visited earlier in the day explained to him what awaited them on deck.
"Our soldiers acted against them with equanimity and heroism. We regret the loss of life, but give full backing to the soldiers and to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] regarding this action," he said.
Netanyahu said Israel will not lift the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Click here to read an analysis of the Gaza blockade by Shmuel Rosner.
"Opening a sea route to Gaza would constitute a great danger to the security of our citizens. Therefore we persist with a naval blockade and check the ships. There is no possibility of maintaining this policy without checking ships' cargoes," he said.
Despite international pressure and criticism, the policy is based on "Israel's right to defend itself," he said.
Meanwhile, at an emergency meeting of the 47-member UN Human Rights Council in Geneva Tuesday, called by a coalition of Arab and Islamic states, Israeli Ambassador Aharon Leshno Yaar said Israel acted within provisions of international law.
"The attack on Israeli soldiers was beyond all doubt premeditated," he said. "The weapons used had been prepared in advance. They were not on a humanitarian mission, but one of provocation and incitement. Israeli forces had no choice but to defend themselves," Yaar said.
The Turkish-based IHH, which organized the flotilla, "has publicly professed connections to Egypt's Islamic Brotherhood and Hamas and has been a central actor of fundraising for Hamas around the world," Yaar said.
The council is expected to issue a joint resolution Wednesday condemning Israel and calling for an independent inquiry of "the attack," which Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said "deserves every kind of curse."

Unpredictable weather tests riders in lead up to Australian MotoGP
October 3, 2008 Quickly changing weather has given teams two starkly opposed practice sessions to prepare for Sunday's Australian MotoGP race. After a completely dry and warm morning session, the first rains started to appear at lunchtime - and conditions were atrocious by the time free practice session #2 started at 2pm.
Stoner was nearly a second ahead of the field in the dry with an early 1:30.9 followed by a blistering 1:30.094 that stood as the best time of the session. Rossi, off to a slower start, could only muster a 1:30.7 - but this put him in second place as the only other rider to make it into the 1:30s.
Behind these two came a parade of Hondas - demonstrating that the once-untouchable Japanese company could be ready to return to form in 2009 after a difficult 2008. You could have thrown a blanket over De Angelis, Dovizioso, De Puniet, Pedrosa and Nakano, separated by 16 hundredths of a second. Lorenzo, Capirossi and Toseland rounded out the top 10, just 1.2 seconds off Stoner's pace.
Then came the rain... read the full story and see loads more pics of our coverage over at TheBikerGene.

117 Tasting Notes
Dark oolong that is amber in color and has a floral mineral aroma. Steeped two tea bags in 8 oz of water for three minutes. Decent cup of tea with a fruity, orange, floral flavor. I was looking for an oolong in tea bags for easy travel use and this tea fits that need.
Flavors: Floral, Fruity, Orange
Dark oolong with a roasted floral aroma. This tea has that roasted baked floral flavor you get with most of the Wuyi Mountain oolongs. It is sweet with a little fruitiness on the back end.
Flavors: Floral, Fruity, Roasted
The dry smell of this tea took me back to the barn at my house growing up. It smells exactly like horse feed pellets, it is amazing how a scent can take you back to a time in your life instantly like that. The steeped tea has a malty hay aroma. It has a sweet malty flavor with notes of hay, malt, molasses, and a hint of chocolate. I really enjoyed this tea, flavor and nostalgia in one cup.
Flavors: Chocolate, Hay, Malt, Molasses

Benefitfocus, a leading provider of cloud-based benefits software solutions, announced that it will break ground on a building project that will expand the size of its technology campus on Daniel Island in Berkeley County from 13 acres to 40 acres. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley joined Benefitfocus president and CEO Shawn Jenkins Tuesday for the ground-breaking ceremony and in announcing the anticipated creation of 1,200 new, high-tech jobs in South Carolina.
We are creating a community within a community, and its exciting to see this expanded technology campus come to life, said Jenkins. We are committed to the Charleston community and to our Daniel Island neighbors especially. Our passion for design and engineering is such a powerful part of what makes Benefitfocus great, and we believe the new campus will add to the vitality of the region as we continue to attract world-class engineering talent.
While we work to recruit business investment from all industries to the state, we are putting special emphasis on growing our innovation infrastructure, said Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt. Companies like Benefitfocus, in announcing 1,200 new jobs, demonstrate how high-tech, high-growth businesses can be successful in our state.
The campus expansion will triple the size of the current Benefitfocus headquarters to nearly 500,000 square feet. Abundant wide walking paths, cart paths and trails will provide interconnectivity between the five buildings creating a campus style, community-friendly environment for Benefitfocus associates. The additional space will allow for extensive recruitment and increase capacity for approximately 1,200 additional associates as the company continues to grow.
The next building on the campus will be a 145,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Customer Success Center. This new facility will house the growing base of customer implementation and service associates. Reflecting one of the companys core values of Providing Anticipatory Service, the Customer Success Center will also be home to the new training and certification programs for associates, customers and ecosystem partners. The new facility is expected to be complete and operational in the first quarter of 2015.
Todays announcement by Benefitfocus is a major headline for our region and state, said Dan Davis, Berkeley County supervisor. We in Berkeley County appreciate the work, dedication and management skills that facilitated this event. Congratulations on your continued success.
My hearty congratulations to Team Benefitfocus. While Charlestons economy has enjoyed many years of steady growth in the tech industry, todays announcement by Benefitfocus represents the single largest combination of capital investment and job creation in our history, said Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr.
Founded in 2000 with a single office in Mount Pleasant, Benefitfocus moved to its Daniel Island campus in 2006. Last year, the company opened a state-of-the-art Design + Engineering building at the Daniel Island campus. The new campus expansion project is a reflection of the significant investment Benefitfocus is making to strengthen the technology industry in the greater Charleston region as well as the local Daniel Island community.
Those interested in positions with the company may visit the companys careers page to learn more.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits for the project.

To bring the interview to life, animator Patrick Smith has added a black-and-white animation depicting the late rapper as the complex and introspective person he was. The interview occurred at a time when Tupac had recently been accused of raping a woman, and while he was acquitted on most of the charges, he would spend 11 months in jail as a result. The interview is also notable for the answers he gives, some of which are very foretelling. Check it out now.

The NBA Finals kicked off today, but many teams are focused more on the upcoming draft.
Point guards seem to be the hot commodity, but teams have other needs, too.
While the first few picks seem to be almost certain, the second half of the first round has been widely debated.
This is a prediction of how everything may pan out.

David Smoak of ESPN 1660 in Central Texas reports that the Jaguars are one of 23 teams that were in attendance at Baylor's annual pro day. The other teams in attendance were the Cardinals, Falcons, Bills, Panthers, Browns, Cowboys, Broncos, Texans, Colts, Dolphins, Vikings, Patriots, Saints, Giants, Jets, Raiders, Eagles, Chargers, 49ers and Seahawks.
The Baylor Bears have some prospects that will go early in the draft order. DT Phil Taylor is possibly a first round prospect, while G Danny Watkins could also sneak into the first round. It is more likely, however, that Watkins gets drafted in the second round due to the fact that he's 26. LB Antonio Johnson, P Derek Epperson and HB Jay Finley are all late round prospects that could be drafted in the 6th or 7th round.
The Jaguars did not attend the Tulane pro day which was held today. Tulane had four teams in attendance.

Don't Call Him 'Mr. Mom'
When strangers see a dad and his kids at the grocery store, library, park, or pool, they make a remark like, "Oh, you're babysitting today." My husband developed a standard response: "No, I'm being Dad." He was gracious, ...

Mrs. Simpson, Amy, Thank you so much for writing a wonderful article. When a dad is caring for a child he is not there to replace a mom's role. I came out of the pantry in 1991 and was an at-home dad for 20 years and the children are still breathing. I would like to applaud today's at-home dads because they are much more confident, secure and pro-active. While they all tackle their daily parenting duties with pride and grace, some also volunteer time to their communities and the National At-Home Dad Network. I hope you will consider writing a follow-up article about the NAHDN and the convention they host every year. This year will be the 18th Annual At-Home Dads Convention in Denver, Colorado. www.athomedad.org I'd be happy to assist you with the article. You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Sincerely, Hogan Hilling, Proud At-Home Dad, NAHDN Board Member At-Large and Media Relations Chairperson
Spiritual Images
Thank you for your article Amy! It was very inspiring. Hope it will inspire other people and help them improves themselves.
Matt Peregoy
Thank you for this article, Amy! It is incredibly important that the church recognize the needs of their congregations. There are fathers in our pews who need to know that there is more to "providing" for a family than bringing home a paycheck. If the church encouraged more fathers to be actively engaging their families in emotional and spiritual matters, instead of sitting idly by while moms handle that "fluffy stuff," the world would be a lot better off. Encouragement starts with recognition, and it is clear that you "get it" when it comes to recognizing the sacrifices and challenges that at-home dads face. I can only hope that the church continues to embrace and support at-home dads in their congregations.
Rachel Stephan Simko
My husband has a semi-flexible schedule and so he frequently will have my daughter for a morning or afternoon. It's great fun for both of them. Actually, I'm pretty sure he's better at making friends at the park than I am! But that's just his personality -- he doesn't let people put him in a box. I am extremely shy at the park or storytime at the library and am more prone to isolation. (evenonesparrow.blogspot.com)
Tim Fall
Nice job Amy. When I would take the kids on errands, to the park, help out in their classroom or whatever, people might try to put the babysitter, Mr. Mom, dad's day or something similar on it. But I'd tell those people "What I'm doing is called parenting." It might catch them off guard, but it might also lead to an illuminating conversation. Parents loving and caring for their children honors our heavenly Father who loves and cares for us. How could all us parents, moms and dads, not want to be like our Father in that regard? Cheers, Tim (timfall.wordpress.com)
Sheila Lagrand
I delight in watching my sons-in-law be dads to their young children. Even though I like to think I run with a pretty progressive crowd, a few of my friends were stunned to hear that one of my SIL cared for his four-month-old daughter for a week while my daughter was away on family business. And everyone lived to tell about it. :)
Jay Knudsen
Thank you so much for addressing this topic. No one asks a women when she goes to work if she is a Mrs. Dad. I have told people that I am a "Mr. Dad" when they call me Mr. Mom. I am sure that there will always be criticism of stay at home dads just as there is criticism of women who work outside the home. It would be nice if there was a fundamental shift in mainstream Christian circles, including complementarians, to recognize SAHD's as a legitimate way to serve and provide for their families. The post industrial WWII model of a Christian family is changing, we need to celebrate our gifts and blessings rather than dividing over differences that only impede the furthering of His Kingdom.
Tyler Watson
Thanks for this article. As a pastor who stepped aside from church ministry to be an at-home dad, it is a great encouragement to read this in Christianity Today.
Al Watts
Fantastic article Amy! I've been an at-home dad for 10 years and have tried to explain to people for years how nothing was wrong with my masculinity when I stepped out of the workforce. You have explained it better than I ever have! I hope everyone reads this and begins to understand that a man taking care of his children is not "Mr. Mom." He is simply "Dad." Thank you!!!
Adam Shields
As a stay at home uncle for the past 5 years I have certainly be a part of the ignored person at the park. I also think that dads, just like many moms, do things their own way. And it is good to encourage people to parent in the way that works for them. Of course I am not advocating abuse or neglect, but the hovering mom that won't allow her kids on a jungle gym because it might be dangerous is what is usually held up as the right way to parent. There are other ways that are just as good.
Rev. Dr. Bill Ekhardt
Thank you very much for your article, Amy. You get it, clearly because you have lived it. As a pastor who has set aside the pulpit to raise my four children, I greatly appreciate it.
Chad Welch
As an at-home dad thank you for this article. I also wanted to let you know there is a national organization for at-home dads. It includes an annual convention which is on its 18th year. www.AtHomeDad.org
Cheryl Okimoto
Thank you for this thoughtful post. I am tired of hearing Christians say that a woman's place is in the home while a man is supposed to work. I've heard people declare that is the biblical way, but I haven't seen the evidence. In fact, the oft-misquoted Proverbs 31 shows a woman who earns a living! "She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard....She sees that her trading is profitable...She makes linen garments and sells them" vv.16,18,24. Her husband is honored because of it (v.23)! An example in the NT about a woman who earned a living is Lydia, a wealthy seller of purple cloth (Acts 16:14), and she was a leader in the community. Men are called to lead their families, both wives and children. If a man is always gone earning a living, how much is he leading in his home? I think that men who chose to humble themselves, as Jesus did, and pour into their families deserve great respect in the Christian community.

SOUTH African stocks surged to a record high yesterday, along with global markets buoyed by optimism that European policy makers would finally take action to ease the region's debt crisis.
The broadest benchmark for the JSE, the all share index, gained for a fifth day to close at a new high of 34958,59 points.
Markets have rallied on hopes of further stimulus, Doug Blatch, head of equity trading at Investec Asset Management, said. "There's been a shift of momentum, but nothing fundamental has changed," he added.
The all share closed 0,8% higher yesterday to reach its record high. For the year, the index is 9,3% firmer.
European stocks rose for a fourth successive day, while Spanish bonds, which had come under pressure last week, rallied on expectation of further action by policy makers to safeguard the euro project.
Last week European Central Bank (ECB) president Mario Draghi pledged to do whatever it took within the bank's mandate to protect the currency.
Mr Draghi met US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner in Frankfurt yesterday after leaders in Berlin, Paris and Rome backed him by saying they would do what was needed to protect the euro.
For more than two years, the future of the 13-year old currency has been in question because of the region's sovereign debt crisis that has seen bail-out packages offered to countries such as Greece, Portugal and Ireland.
The latest recipient has been Spanish banks, and, until last week, there has been speculation that Spain's government too would have to ask for an assistance package. Europe's sovereign debt crisis has seen most of the peripheral countries in the 17-member common monetary union fall into recession, which has affected emerging market countries such as SA.
Germany, the region's biggest economy, has also begun to reflect the weakness of its neighbours.
Markets were hoping "the central bank will announce bond purchases of Spanish and Italian government bonds again, helping ease the pressure on borrowing costs both countries currently face," Ishaq Siddiqi, market strategist at ETX Capital, said yesterday.
"Declarations of support by European Union leaders also demonstrate the political will of the major nations to work together on bolder measures."
The ECB is holding its policy meeting this week.
US Federal Reserve policy makers start a two-day meeting today to decide whether additional stimulus is needed to combat a slowdown in the world's biggest economy.
Economists are forecasting that US labour department data, to be released on Friday, will show that employers added 100000 jobs in July and that the unemployment rate held at 8,2%.
Other data due may show US manufacturing stagnated this month, and consumer confidence fell for a fifth month.
The rand weakened for the first time in four days yesterday, losing 0,7% against the US dollar to trade at R8,21/$1 in the late afternoon. Shifting domestic interest rate expectations are likely to continue to add volatility to the local currency market, which was still being pulled back and forth between "growth despair and hopes for a vigorous policy response in the world's major markets", Bruce Donald, rand strategist at Standard Bank, said.
The bank's fourth quarter target for the rand is R8,60/$1.

Championship Fighting by Jack Dempsey
Hi guys, just wondering if any of you have ever read this book. I have managed to get hold of a PDF version. It has some top quality information and is very interesting. I'm sure I can use some of the things he say's in it for when i'm boxing.
Here are some of the first things that he says in the book.
"What would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION."
"You can launch your body-weight into fast motion; and, like dynamite, you can explode that hurtling weight against an opponent with a
stunning, blasting effect known as follow-through."
"Cowboy Jess was heavyweight champion of the world, and he was a giant. Moreover, he was a perfectly proportioned giant. He was every
inch an athlete. He tapered down beautifully from derrick-like shoulders, and his muscles were so smooth you could scarcely see them rippling
under his sun-tanned skin. He towered six feet, six inches and a quarter. He weighed 245 pounds. In comparison I shaped up like an infant or a
dwarf although I nudged past six feet and scaled 180 pounds. My weight was announced as 187 pounds; but actually I registered only 180."
"EXPLODING BODY-WEIGHT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WEAPON IN FIST-FIGHTING OR IN BOXING. Never forget that! I was at my
peak as a fighter the day I met Willard under the broiling Toledo sun. My body-weight was moving like lightning, and I was exploding that weight
terrifically against the giant. Even before the first round was finished, Willard looked like the victim of a premature mine blast."
Sorry if anyone has already posted this, I've done a search and couldn't find owt! Anyway I would advice anyone interested in techniques of old to have a read of this! Truly is awesome!

Yeah it really is an awesome read.
"I won the ring's most coveted title by stopping a man much larger and stronger than I was-one who outweighed me 65 pounds. I blasted him
into helplessness by exploding my fast-moving body-weight against him. I used body-weight, with which the falling baby could knock out the
truck driver; and I used explosion."
"Because I was a good puncher and because each opponent in those five big-gate fights was a hard hitter, the tremendous publicity given
those extravaganzas made the world more punch-conscious than ever before. Incidentally, don't let anyone tell you Gene Tunney couldn't
punch. Many fight fans have that wrong impression today. In our first bout at Philadelphia, where Gene wrested the title from me, he landed a
right-counter to the head that staggered me early in the first round. I didn't recover fully from that punch during the rest of the fight. And at
Chicago, in our second scrap, Gene drove me to one knee with a head-blow in the eighth round. Mind you, that was after I'd floored him for the
"long count" in the seventh. Indeed, I found Gentleman Gene surprisingly explosive."
This bit is interesting...
"Not one youth in fifty has any ambitions to become a professional fighter when he first goes to an instructor. That's particularly true among
college and high-school lads. Yet the instructors continue-teaching boys to become "smart" boxers instead of well-rounded fighters. And that's a
downright shame, for punch is absolutely essential in fist-fighting and it's an invaluable asset in amateur or professional boxing. Actually, it's
stupid instead of smart instruction to teach other fighting movements to a boy before he has been taught to punch."

Sounds cool so far. I'm going to have to give that a read some time. I've heard of the book but not heard any passages from it. Thanks for posting.

One of my favorite reads. Tells you something about all the guys who say that modern fighters have all the technical advantages because of their new training methods.

Looks like a good read, but it's over $500 on Amazon. Not going to steal it either.

This cover of Fitness makes one thing clear: Elle Macpherson could still be working as a model today if she wanted to: she looks amazing! The 'Fashion Star' host shared some of her tips for looking great. Here are some excerpts:
Elle's hot body tips: "I do an hour every day of some kind of physical activity. I mix it up. If I'm in the mountains I ski, if I'm near water I'll swim. I might do a yoga or Spin class. I also take my running shoes and iPod with me wherever I go. Running is not only a really effective way to stay fit, it's a sort of moving meditation and a great way to explore new towns when I'm traveling."
On aging gracefully: "I'm almost 50, so I obviously don't have the same body that I had when I was 20. But I also don't have the same mindset either, when I was wracked with self-consciousness and insecurity. Now I really appreciate my maturity as a woman, my depth of spirit and soul and my understanding of who I am and what's important to me."
On her passion for 'Fashion Star': "I want to be healthy, happy, love what I do, do what I love. I'm passionate about lingerie and Fashion Star, and I'm passionate about my sports—skiing, surfing, biking. I don't see a sport as something I have to do to be thin, the same way I don't see my business as something I have to do to make money."
You can read Elle's entire interview in the May issue of Fitness magazine, which is also their 20th Anniversary issue! It hits newsstands next Tuesday, April 17.

How would Miley Cyrus describe herself?
"Coolest. Person. Ev-er!" she says and laughs. "Really, I think I'm chill. I am very hyper but I'm very carefree."
In PEOPLE's special Miley Cyrus issue, which hits newsstands Friday, the teen star dishes on why she thinks she rocks, what she carries in her purse, her favorite TV show and life on the Hannah Montana set.
The 15-year-old singer-actress also reveals her quirky habits, like her love for eating ketchup right out of the bottle, and her purse must-have: a first-aid kit equipped with Band-Aids, Neosporin and Benadryl – in case she gets a rash.
Cyrus – whose new album, Breakout, hits stores July 22 – proves she's just an everyday girl when she describes her beauty regimen (a tan and some mascara), her passion for shopping for handbags and her dream sweet 16 birthday present: a new car. (Her b-day is Nov. 23). She also admits to having a tomboy style that even has her mom saying, "It's not going to hurt you to be a girl for one day."
In the issue's Doodle Diary, Cyrus declares herself a Grey's Anatomy fan who prefers McDreamy to McSteamy, says she loves lounging in Juicy Couture sweats and admits she can be frequently heard using some of her favorite catchphrases like "That's dope" and "Cool beans."
After a whirlwind year of touring, shooting Hannah Montana – not to mention the flap over her semi-clothed Vanity Fair photos, Cyrus admits she's still learning important lessons like "knowing which people I can trust and being more aware of my surroundings," she says. "It's like Dorothy – I'm not in Kansas anymore."

What does it do?
has any one gotten there wifi usb connector to work on vista??? i got al lthe drivers downloaded but can get the program working any help would be appreciated thanks! (i have home basic if that has anything to do with it)
What does it do?
well when i go to open the wifi program to grant my wii permission to connect it just closes then a box shows up saying windows had a error with this program and is now looking for a solution ...but it dosent find a solotion
Lol Vista blows ATM. Should have waited to get it. Soon hopefully they will get all the bugs out. Quick question though what games does it come with? Does still come with the regular minesweeper and pinball?
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That away, when you criticize them, you're a mile way and you have their shoes.
yes i had the problem, i used vista just b4 xmas, downloadin version of course, because vista isnt fully loaded yet, it wont work with it, I would not use vista yet till theres a patch out for it.
But if ya get a wireless router it will cure the problem anyhow

Did you try to run it under the Windows XP compatible mode? I don't have Vista in front of me, but if you right click on the program icon and go to properties, I think there is a compatibility tab, where you can set the program to be compatible with a previous version of Windows. I am not familiar with the Wii USB WiFi connector, but I am pretty sure you should also be able to manually configure the connection. However, if you are not sure on how to do it, then it is best for you not to touch it.
Also, if you have an XP disk or image, you can run VMWare or Microsoft VirtualPC and emulate XP on top of Vista, and then use your USB WiFi adapter on the virtual machine. The better way to do things is of course through a standalone WiFi router.

I want to graph the portion of the plane 2x + 3y + z = 6 that are located in the first octant of a xyz coordinate system. The following implicitplot3d should in principle do it:
When I execute the command I actually see the expected triangular part of the plane for a split second, but then it disappears. I can of course solve the equation with respect to z and use plot3d, which works fine. The problem is that I want to use implicitplot3d to illustrate the concept of implicit surfaces to the students that I am teaching. So for pedagogical I want to keep the Maple code as close as possible to the way that the problem is stated in the text book. What I mean is that I am not looking for technical workarounds that tend to move the focus away from the core mathematics.

located at
We strongly recommend parking in the Congress Street Medical Building Garage located at 887 Congress Street. Unless directed by city staff, please use only the Forest Street entrance (Forest Street is the left immediately prior to the building). The garage is safe, easily accessible, monitored and just a short walk from the Expo.
Should this lot be full the next best option is the Fitzpatrick Stadium lot located directly behind the stadium stands facing Interstate 295.
Handicapped parking is available in the lot just to the right of the Expo.

Bomb squad called to inspect suspicious vehicle in Wilton
Texas company reported moving van stolen
State police called in the bomb squad after a suspicious moving van was identified in Wilton.
According to Police Chief Brent Hautanen, a Texas company contacted the Wilton Police Department about a stolen vehicle. The company said a GPS tracker on the vehicle indicated it had stopped on Gibbons Highway near Gary's Harvest Restaurant.
Wilton police responded and alerted the New Hampshire State Police Explosives Disposal Unit.
"There was some information we received from them that was just suspicious in nature," Hautanen explained. "Out of caution we contacted the State Police and requested their assistance. We just wanted to make sure the public was safe."
Police arrested Elijah Dorsey and Henrietta Holt.

RFID Technology for Tracking Data Center Assets
October 17, 2006 HP Labs scientist Cyril Brignone shows how a new radio frequency identification (RFID) technology created by the company's central research facility can track IT assets in data centers, even identifying when a component is moved from one location to another. Keeping track of assets could enable better accuracy of inventory, increase security and reduce data center operational and auditing costs. The HP Labs technology was tested at Meijer, a retailer with more than 170 grocery and specialty stores in the midwestern United States. The solution could automatically monitor data center assets, providing real-time tracking and auditing of servers, networking equipment, server and storage enclosures and other technology using RFID.
"Physical inventory of IT assets is critical in data centers, especially those with thousands of devices," said Frank Lanza, worldwide director, RFID Program, HP. "HP RFID technology could enable better accuracy of inventory, increase security and reduce data center operational and auditing costs."
The technology uses RFID readers and RFID tags to monitor the location of individual components within the data center, including the addition of new devices and device movement to other areas. The sensing infrastructure creates a high-resolution view of devices throughout the data center. The system also can provide historical data related to additions, changes and moves of servers and server-related equipment.
"Meijer's long-term competitiveness hinges on cost control and efficiency, and the RFID model from HP has potential cost-savings benefits," said Tim Osbeck, manager, Operations and Technical Support, Meijer, Inc. "This test exceeded our expectations and is invaluable as we explore new possibilities around RFID."
Meijer Inc., which has grown from a corner grocery store in the midst of the Depression to one of the largest privately held retailers today, is the first HP customer to test the solution.
HP regards RFID as a key technology to help retailers, manufacturers and other users reduce supply chain costs while speeding the flow of merchandise from the factory, through the distribution center and to the retail store, ultimately providing consumers with better product availability. RFID also has evolved to include other uses such as inventory auditing and asset tracking.

I don't want this space to leave you with that bad taste in your mouth.
The truth is, I value realness so much. I love when people share the real stuff from their lives. It's a breath of fresh air. It gives me hope.
If you know me in real life you've already experienced my imperfections. So to my online friends, lest you think my life is perfect (smile)...
I yell sometimes. And [almost] always regret it.
I have spent way too much time wondering why God saw fit to bless with me with a double chin.
We still have an adoption loan. I know, quite shocking to admit in the Christian-adoption-world. God didn't bring every penny just when we needed it. And though we value being debt free, there are some things we value more.
We've had our house on the market for many months. No offers. It's confusing as we look forward.
I have gone to the dentist once in the last 5 years.
I'm not at the weight I would like to be.
I love to read, but I struggle to put into practice what I learn.
I am a trained social worker. My husband is a marriage and family therapist. You would think therapeutic parenting would come somewhat naturally. Uhmmm, no.
Our pictures are on my computer. Not printed.
I get so jealous of others' situations and accomplishments that sometimes I wonder if I should even try.
I was part of a non-profit that failed. big time.
I don't speak a second language. I took German in high school. I have no idea why.
Our file draw is a mess. Completely my fault.
Our neighbor's house has garbage strewn around.
I have a spot in my dining room that has needed a rug. For 5 years.
You don't know that I really struggle with parenting. You don't see me in my blog yelling at my child, regretting it and apologizing. And then doing it again in the same hour.
I am not an accomplished braider or hair-doer, but I enjoy trying.
I am not into fashion. Sometimes I wish I was, especially when I want to look nice.
Sometimes I feel conflicted about my role as a pastor's wife.
I don't let my kids use my computer. Yep. None of them get computer time.
I am not a great Ethiopian cook.
Our food is not all organic.
Sometimes I dread 3:15.
My husband regularly picks up a lot of my slack even though I am home all day.
We don't own a new vehicle. Or the very best car seats.
Sometimes I question what I am giving to society.
I don't have it all together or all figured out, but sometimes I want you to think that I do.
I rejoice in one breath with my kids and fear for their futures in the next.
Some of my greatest dreams are not yet realized. And it grieves me that they might slip away.
But, I believe that I am blessed.
And, I believe that I need to fully live my life whether or not it appears that someone else got a better lot and can do everything better than I can. Whether or not my dreams are realized. Whether or not... Because my life can't wait. It has to be lived by me. I am the only one that can be the mother to my children, the wife to my husband and who God wants me to be in this place, right now.
For sure there have been times that being vulnerable and open has kicked me back in the butt. There are times I've shared things that I wish that I could go back and erase. But, most often, opening myself up has resulted in others doing the same. Authentic conversations happen and treasured friendships have been built.
Don't worry, this blog isn't about to become something that throws my family under the bus with each wrong turn, or where I complain about my life daily sharing my deepest, darkest secrets. I don't think that you, myself or my family is best served by that. But, I want you to know I'm real, flawed and ready to be with the real you in this space. There is much encouragement to be found as we open ourselves up and walk through both the good and the messy together.

72 learning English in Island schools | Among this year's bilingual students are speakers of Japanese, Russian, Korean, Spanish, Chinese, Thai and Finnish
The ESL program on Mercer Island — now referred to as ELL for English Language Learners — is often overlooked; a modest footnote to the district's trumpeted story of achievement. Yet the Island's 72 ELL students are well aware of the program's strength and success. They are rewarded by it every day.
On Oct. 10, the entire staff of Island Park — home to the district's elementary bilingual program — received professional training on the most recent ELL teaching methods. The workshop, part of Island Park's Learning Improvement Day, was funded by $20,000 in Title III federal grant money. Mercer Island School District ELL coordinator and teacher Patricia Malatesta led the "Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol" training, which addressed bilingual teaching methods in the classroom.
The grant comes on the heels of an internal district review of the ELL program, which the district passed with flying colors. Sharon Gillaspie, former director of assessment and instruction, presented the report to the School Board last spring, pointing out that 100 percent of the Islands ELL students graduate from high school, pass the WASL exams with little trouble and are receptive to in-class help from paraprofessionals.
"The results speak for themselves. The kids do well in the program. All the kids go to college. They all pass the tests. The program's been working very well," said Associate Superintendent of Instructional Services Kathy Morrison.
Unlike most Washington public schools, ELL students who attend MISD are relatively proficient in English and academically competitive.
"We have very few level-one students — those who don't speak any English. The majority come in with some English language knowledge and have had academic background in their own language," Morrison said.
Malatesta, who has worked with bilingual students on Mercer Island for 20 years, echoed this point.
"Our students are as academically qualified — or more qualified — as MI students. It's just that their English isn't at the same level," she said. "This is totally different from other public schools."
Regardless, Island ELL students still benefit from one-on-one help in the classroom. Colloquial English, after all, is easier to grasp than academic English.
"We speak with the Anglo-Saxon language but write and read in Latin and Greek forms, so students sometimes struggle with this vocabulary," Malatesta pointed out.
The bilingual coordinator is spread thin as an Island resource. Malatesta spends her weekdays dashing from one Island school to another, working in various classrooms at Island Park and West Mercer along with teaching a full ELL class at both Mercer Island High School and Islander Middle School. But the workload doesn't seem to phase her, thanks to the support of her paraprofessionals — Anne Cameron and Sue Sheppard — and numerous teachers.
In the end, success comes down to the collaborative efforts of staff members.
"I have to commend our teachers. They welcome kids with open arms," Morrison said. "If a teacher finds out a child's spending all night on homework because of a difficulty with English, she gives different kinds of assignments."
As required by state law, all ELL students must pass an English proficiency exam in order to test out of the program. The test is delivered each spring. Students must score in the 35-40th percentile in order to pass. Once they have graduated from ELL status, the students continue on without special English instruction. Yet they are not entirely without a safety net. Malatesta follows each ELL student until graduation, providing extra help when needed.
"I have a lot of discussion with teachers, and we provide accommodations for the students. They get extra time to complete tests and can use their own dictionaries," she said. "Teachers have become quite adept at reading kids and knowing what they need. And the kids are good at advocating for themselves."
Among this year's 72 bilingual students are speakers of Japanese, Russian, Korean, Spanish, Chinese, Thai and Finnish. Many of the students spend only a few years in the United States, Malatesta said, as their parents are here on sabbatical or researching at the University of Washington. Others will graduate from MIHS and go on to American colleges.

Summer Memories and Childhood
When I was a kid, we took road trip after road trip during the summer months. I have sharp memories of asking my mom what clothes I should pack, and she replied, "Just dump your short and shirt drawers into your bag. That should be enough."
We spent every summer that we could frolicking with cousins, running like unsupervised wild animals up and down country roads and played so hard that we crashed as soon as we hit the bed.I got to know my cousins, spend time with my grandparents, and learn that chicken doesn't come shrink wrapped in the freezer section for most of the world.
Looking back on it, I realize that my mom was a brave woman to drive halfway across the continent with three girls. I only really came to a more vivid understanding of this last summer, when I took a 2 week road trip from my house in Virginia to my dad's in Texas, with stops along the way in Georgia, Memphis and Mississippi. I'm still not sure how I managed to avoid being committed to a mental hospital after the trip ended.
We've all got our summer memories. Maybe you spent summers at the lake. Maybe you visited loved ones. Or, perhaps you stayed close to home and enjoyed the freedom afforded by the summer months.There's a lot to be said for staying home during the summer months - visiting the pool, water park or beach, or spending time at the library or Recreation center. Most book stores and libraries have summer reading clubs, and there are many local businesses that offer daily deals and inexpensive admission rates - especially valuable on those oppressively hot and/or nasty weather days.
There are an amazing assortment of activities available to fill the summer - there's no excuse for any mom to hear those dreaded words, "I'm bored!"
What are your favorite memories from your summers as a child. What did you do? What do you miss most? With whom did you spend the bulk of your time?
OMG this sounds like my childhood.. we had 7 boys and 7 girls in our appartment.. all around the same ages.. we played together... and the best part I think now (didnt think that way as a child)all the parents stuck together.. if one needed a babysitter others were there.. nobody was left out in any way... ..

We lived in such a great little neighborhood. There were about a dozen kids approx the same ages, (more or less) and we played together all summer. Wherever we happened to be around lunchtime, that mom fed us. We stayed outside til dinnertime, came in to eat, help with chores, (no dishwashers) then came out to play again. We caught fireflies, played tag, hopscotch, rode bikes, just all kinds of stuff, nothing pluggd in anywhere. A few years ago, we had a reunion of the neighborhood "kids" It was great!
I spent my summers with my grandparents. I enjoyed being with them, swimming.

I remember being at home and doing lots of house work- laundry, meals, dishes fell on my sister and I since my mom was running a business for my dad and working as a teacher (she had to go in during the summer for summer school and other things). While we did laundry my older sister would watch Gone With the Wind and Sound of Music a million times! I'm not a big movie person to start, but I thought I would go crazy watching them ;) It's been a while though, maybe I should rent them for old time sake! I bet my older kids would enjoy The Sound of Music.

Ugh, my memories of road trips with my parents is AWFUL! My dad was one of those that wouldn't stop for anything. It didn't matter how bad we had to pee or how hungry we were, he didn't stop until he was good and ready. The more we cried that we had to pee, the more we got yelled at. We hated taking trips. We never had 'fun' trips either, it was always to visit family, usually of the elderly variety.......no kids to play with.
We had more fun at home, we played in the sprinklers and ate popsicles, made forts, etc.
My mom describes road trips with her parents the same way, we never did many as kids, but we take our kids on tons and I have to say my husband is excellent at stopping and not complaining about it.

I miss hanging out at my grandparents the most.
I don't really have summer memories from when I was a child. They honestly weren't anything special. :-/
I'm working on awesome memories with my kids :-)
