I also keep up with current theory on native and ESL language acquisition.
I have experience teaching many different aspects of English, including grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, TOEIC/TOEFL and others. I am also very reliable and punctual. My students often say that I am very easy to talk to, and they feel comfortable learning from me. I feel that this is because I always make an effort to give constructive criticism and to point out the good things my students do.

For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I taught English conversation, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading skills, and many other areas in Japan for over six years. I taught in private language schools, Junior High Schools, Universities, and businesses.

Cortland woman killed in car crash on Route 5
JOHNSTON - A Cortland woman was killed Monday when her car collided with a semi-trailer on state Route 5.
Rachel Lynn Davis, 22, of Erie Street, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred just east of state Route 11 at about 6:35 p.m. when police said a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier driven by Davis was traveling eastbound before driving left-of-center into the path of a semi-trailer heading westbound.
Davis' vehicle was struck head-on by the truck driven by Rohan M. Powell, 46, of Ontario, Canada.
Powell was transported to St. Joseph Health Center in Warren where he was treated and released.
Traffic on state Route 5 was detoured for more than three hours while crews worked to clear the scene.
Troopers were assisted by Johnston Township fire and EMS, Trumbull County Sheriff's Department and the Ohio Department of Transportation.
Youngstown bicyclist dies after hit-and-run
YOUNGSTOWN - Police are looking for the driver of a vehicle who struck and killed a Youngstown woman late last week.
According to police, Lori Fiscus, 53, was riding a bicycle about 8:30 p.m. Thursday in the 2500 block of Elm Street when she was struck by a blue Pontiac Grand Am traveling in the northbound lane. She was pronounced dead at St. Elizabeth Health Center.
Police are seeking the vehicle, reports said, which sustained damage to the hood and windshield. Anyone with information should contact Youngstown police at 330-742-8911.
Decaying tree falls
on truck in Boardman
BOARDMAN - A large decaying tree fell on the hood of a truck being driven by a Canfield man Monday afternoon, pinning him in the car.
Jason Bartholomew, 31, is being treated at the hospital, reports said, after his 2002 GMC Sonoma was crushed while heading north on Lockwood Boulevard near Shields Road.
The oak tree crushed the car's hood, driving the steering column onto Bartholomew's legs, preventing him from being able to exit the vehicle, according to reports.
Rescue workers with the Boardman Fire Department had to use the jaws of life to free Bartholomew. His injuries were not life-threatening, but his legs and arm were broken in the accident.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating the accident, reports said, and Lockwood Boulevard near Shields Road was closed until the tree was removed.
Ohio to begin baiting with rabies vaccine
COLUMBUS - Ohio began putting out baits laced with rabies vaccine on Monday in the eastern part of the state in an effort to stop the disease from spreading.
The Ohio Department of Health says the baiting will continue through Sept. 20 and cover 4,334 square miles. The coated baits intended for raccoons are about the size of ketchup packets. They are white and rolled in a brown fishmeal glaze known to attract raccoons.
Baits will be distributed by aircraft and vehicles.
Five raccoon-rabies cases have been confirmed this year. The cases include four raccoons in Mahoning County and one cat in Trumbull County.
Rabies is a viral disease that affects people and animals and is almost always fatal.
Bats, raccoons and skunks pose the greatest risk of rabies in Ohio.

ive tested the ripstop with a piece of duct tape on the one side and another piece of r/s with a piece of tape on each side,
it has worked even better than i expected!
it increased the rigidity of the material- it still allows it to bend but not crumple.
with the two pieces of tape on it makes it even better still
im going to use it as the leading edge material as it holds its shape between the battens which makes a really nice airfoil shape which cant be compressed by the air hitting it,
it even feels and looks like dacron off a real wing! lol
im going to try and find some white duct tape (which im told exists?)
to tape the battens on and reinforce the trailing edge to stop it fluttering,
it can also be used to make sick on washers for when i punch the sail and install the 'eyelets' just for abit of reinforcement and to stop the material fraying.
im making some more bits for the wing frame this afternoon.. should have some pics to show soon
heres a few pics of the real ones from the other day.

Hi is that Longmarsdon raceway and field in the background?
i love that place, ive been going there since i was about 8yrs old, im 27 now
i could just sit and watch the microlights and rc planes/helicopters all day.. i dont reckon id ever get bored! lol
im actually booking up a few lessons in a weightshift microlight in the next few weeks,
i did one when i was 18 but i want to go for my license this time
Ive picked up a ton of modelling stuff from the car boot their but even more from Studley car boot as we are fairly local give me a shout sometime if you need anything.
Dohh! A couple of years ago I picked up 2 planes a bin full of plans and 2 bin bags of building stuff for £25..... even for all the raw materials, obscure little bitsn bobs and tools you can pick up its worth it if your that close! At pennies prices sometimes if people are clearing out. Then theirs a guy who sells nothing but different forms of tape, where are you going to find such a store elswhere next door to you once a week.
If I send you an E mail from home you will see the joke BTW.
Its a bootsale so its like a giant lucky dip, nice bike by the way,my uncles just finished his Norvin.
Thanks mate, dont mean to sound rude but whats a norvin?
Ive managed to find that video of one of my old test flights that i forgot to post,
it was made just after the 'field tests' and all i did was add washout struts-
(although these werent very well secured!! lol) and i tightened the sail abit...
i couldnt be bothered to go over the field again cus it was a very windy day so i just tried to fly outside my work again,
the wind direction was all over the place (maybe because of the builings) but tried it anyway.. didnt really learn anything from this because i didnt know if it crashed cus of the wind or a problem with the wing
starting to make real progress on the new wing now though
Try this thread http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...=998295&page=6 NORton featherbed frame, VINcent 1000cc Vtwin engine the first real superbike.
you will see which................
Are you sure the sail wouldn't work better if you would just quickly add some battens to it? maybe thats the the clue to why it makes the whole trike so unstable... maybe the fluttering of the sail slows it down and makes so much turbulence that it starts to behave as if it was about to stall, thats when you loose control over it and it plummets to the ground... I definitely don't know much about aerodynamics... this is just a thought, but it occurred to me that if you would just quickly attach some battens to the old sail... maybe it would be worth the try? I remember that doing just that to my little test models improved the flight performance quite a bit. I am sure the are a lot of other factors affecting the flight behavior here, but it might be that this is the most major one? I don't know... would be worth the try to find out though.
Good luck with the project once again, hope it works out well, Kristian.
thanks kristian,
that was an old video..im making some battens for the new wing, like you say- the sail flutter is adding drag and the wing cant keep its shape at all,
hopefully my new wing will look abit like the wing in the video below
the flying wires and 'a' frame are going to add alot of support for the wing too, i underestimated how much work these do,
ive decreased the nose angle of the wing too, its 105-110* now instead of 125*
that should add more yaw stability
i read up on hanglider wings and it said that if you have enough wing sweep and washout the wing will be stable in yaw, pitch and roll
the new wing is adjustable too.. got adjustable reflex, hangpoint, 'a' frame etc
ive got loads of pics and vids of hangliders now and ive got a pretty good idea of what they should be shaped like now so fingers crossed it works!
hows the little prototype wings coming on kristian?
Last edited by mark675; May 01, 2009 at 06:48 AM.
I've stopped making the prototype wings since I decided to finish my project, a two meter two channel homebuilt sailplane. I've finished it and crashed it by now, but I
might try a few new things now the rogallo wings thanks to your info and pics. I will be making something new out of the sailplane since the wing survived. The plane behaved very well and flew well as well, it even thermalled pretty well (although definitely not great). I wasn't satisfied with it as much as I would've liked, and so I thought I would try some aerobatics... it wasn't really up to the job and after a few successfully completed inverted immelmans (does that phase actually exist?) and loops and stuff I managed to dive it straight into the ground as I tried an inverted loop... but I am not really upset about it, I want to turn it to a powered canard now : P
and then I will start with building the trike, hopefully : )

Small Island, Andrea Levy's saga of Jamaican immigrants in postwar Britain, was named novel of the year in the Whitbread Book Awards.
The book was selected from a short list that included Louis de Bernieres' Birds Without Wings and Alan Hollinghurst's Booker Prize winner, The Line of Beauty.
"What could have been a didactic or preachy prospect turns out to be hilarious, moving, humane and eye-popping. It's hard to think of anybody not enjoying it," the judges said of Levy's book, which has already won the Orange prize for fiction by women.

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
Got these shorts for my daughter, super cute, but also SUPER TINY - impossible to fit her, age 8, ordered the 12-14, and still it was like a toddler's short, so I recommend ordering the adult size if you love them. The size chart is NOT CORRECT on this item.
Save yourself the shipping and exchange fee and order big.
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
The styling of these Natalie shorts is very flattering &the quality of the fabric & workmanship is excellent, however, these shorts run very small. The waist on the Child Medium is only 18" yet the size chart says it fits a 22"-25" waist. It's annoying as these items were for a Christmas present.
Age: 40-49
They do run extremely small. I got them expecting to have to have them altered for my daughter because she's extremely small but they fit her perfect. Nicely made.
Age: 30-39

But ABC's 'Once' takes a hit, 'Housewives' steady
ABC had mixed news for its scripted Sunday series, as daylight saving time seemed to be a factor in sizable declines for "Once Upon a Time," but "Desperate Housewives" held steady week to week and newbie "GCB" was up a tick in its second outing.
According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, "Once Upon a Time" hit a low at 8 o'clock (2.8/8 in 18-49, 9.1 million viewers overall), falling into a share of the timeslot lead among adults 18-49 with CBS' steady "Amazing Race" (2.8/8 in 18-49, 9.7 million viewers overall). The fairy tale-themed drama was down 18% week to week, and certainly wasn't helped by lead-in "America's Funniest Home Videos" (1.3/4 in 18-49, 6.5 million viewers overall), which tumbled 40% as it aired when the sun was still out for the first time this year. "Desperate Housewives," which was in the news a lot last week both for the Nicolette Sheridan trial and the mistakenly revealed spoiler of a character's death, merely matched its week-ago score (2.5/6 in 18-49, 8.3 million viewers overall) , which, considering its weakened lead-in, was something of an accomplishment anyway.
And at 10, "GCB" (2.3/6 in 18-49, 7.3 million viewers overall) was up from the 2.2 in the demo for its premiere , becoming the rare show to gain in its second week. It led its hour in 18-49 this time, retaining more than 90% of its lead-in, and led the broadcast pack in adults 18-34 (1.6/5).
For the night, ABC topped the networks in adults 18-49 and tied CBS for the 25-54 lead.
CBS held up better than ABC in the first week of early-primetime daylight, as "60 Minutes" (1.6/5 in 18-49, 10.3 million viewers overall) and "Amazing Race" matched their deliveries of last week; the 7 p.m. newsmag benefited from airing after the annual reveal of the March Madness participants and seedings, which aired from 6 to 7 p.m. ET. Also for the net, "The Good Wife" (1.7/4 in 18-49, 9.8 million viewers overall) was down week to week, while "CSI: Miami" (2.1/5 in 18-49, 10.5 million viewers overall) held steady.
At Fox, 7:30 p.m. laffer "The Cleveland Show" was in line with last week, but "The Simpsons" (2.3/7 in 18-49, 5.0 million viewers overall) was down a bit from last week. They were followed by the return of "Bob's Burgers" (1.9/5 in 18-49, 4.0 million viewers overall) and the 9 o'clock combo of "Family Guy" (2.8/7 in 18-49, 5.3 million viewers overall) and "American Dad" (2.1/5 in 18-49, 4.3 million viewers overall), which were on par or up slightly vs. last week.
NBC opened with a low-rated "Dateline" (0.9/3 in 18-49, 4.7 million viewers overall), and then saw a modest timeslot premiere for "Harry's Law" (1.1/3 in 18-49, 8.9 million viewers overall), which matched what a repeat of "Celebrity Apprentice" did in the demo last week while drawing significantly more total viewers. And from 9 to 11, "Apprentice" (2.0/5 in 18-49, 6.4 million viewers overall) was down week to week, but still managed to take a narrow lead among adults 25-54 for its second hour.
Preliminary 18-49 averages for the night: ABC, 2.3/6; CBS, 2.1/6; Fox, 2.0/6; NBC, 1.5/4; Univision, 1.1/3.
In total viewers: CBS, 10.1 million; ABC, 7.8 million; NBC, 6.6 million; Fox, 4.3 million; Univision, 3.0 million.

Skyway moves traffic quickly and efficiently
Hooray for Michael Kearns – the first voice of sanity in the drumbeat to tear down the Skyway. Make no mistake, I am not a fan of the span. It's a little nerve-wracking to drive over when it's windy, or during a snowstorm. However, for the most part, it is what makes my commute so easy. According to a 2008 study published on the Department of Transportation website, nearly 4,500 vehicles pass over the span each hour during the morning commute – nearly 50,000 vehicles every day.
We need to hear more about what the alternative to the Skyway will be before there is any further talk of demolition. A viable alternative must be constructed or we risk traffic gridlock in downtown Buffalo every day. I currently enjoy a 25-minute commute that includes a fabulous view of the lake every morning and an equally breathtaking view of the city on my way home.
Please don't allow this project to move forward without careful consideration of the impact on commuters.

Residents in the Virginia town at the center of the 5.8 earthquake that shook the East Coast last week are grateful that Hurricane Irene passed them by.
Surveillance video inside a Mineral, Va., grocery store showed the intensity of the quake. Rev. Marian Windel of the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation drew from an old hymn to convey her message Sunday on the protecting, sustaining hand of God.
"For us, this past week has been trying at the least," Windel told her congregation. "There was little, if anything, that we could have done to prepare for the earthquake. And who would have thought it would be followed by a hurricane?"
"In times like these you need a savior," the Episcopal minister added. "In times like these you need an anchor."
Windel assured her congregation that no matter what happened, God would be with them and has placed them in community to help each other.

About Harlan Estate
In 1983, when Bill Harlan bought an estate in a steep, forested area of Oakville, his aim was to create a Napa Valley First Growth. Whether he has come that far is open to argument, but he certainly has come close.
2005 Harlan Estate Red Wine Napa Valley (in magnum)
Producer: Harlan Estate
Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Bordeaux Blend
Origin: California
Region: Napa
96 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - June 2010
Good deep ruby-red. Very ripe aromas of currant, tobacco, graphite, loam and smoke; hints at an almost roasted ripeness. Then densely packed, opulent and layered in the mouth, showing more fat and sweetness today than the 2006 but a slightly more granular and less refined texture. Plenty of tannins here but they hit the palate late, allowing the lush fruit to open out and build. This is easier to taste today than the 2006 but is still very young.

Um... TF's Pick A Card is on-hit isn't it? You know what that means...
It's not.
"Modifies next attack".
Lyte posted a very simple rule-of-thumb: Would you get more procs if you attacked faster? Then, yes, it works. Which means that most likely TF's passive would work.
Would you not get any more procs? Then, no, it does not work. Pick A Card would not give more procs, so it does not work.
This goes for pretty much most attacks you could think of.
Ok, well... it's not as fun but he can still combo it with Stacked Deck and Lich Bane. You could have some nasty AoE burst if you times it properly with his other abilities.
I'm the minister of mistakes. I'm the shaman of sh*tstorms. If there was a f**k-up pope. I'd have a 3 foot hat!
When arguing online I like to use big words. Because by the time they're done googling it, they have forgotten what their point was.
Roku has hinted that there will be methods to reduce Flash's cooldown. Perhaps the introduction of a Blink Dagger-esque item?
I'm just wondering but I can't remember if the end of Season 1 was like this. So many changes and whatnot, seems a bit much doesn't it?
Hey everyone

The $100 Million Revenue Club: Bravo Health
(Editor's note: This story is part of a series of profiles that examine the venture-backed companies with at least $100 million in revenue, an oft-mentioned threshold used by investment bankers to determine whether a company is IPO ready. Check out our previous posts on Freightquote.com and mBlox. )
Bravo Health Inc. did something in 2009 that most venture-backed companies can only dream about: It had revenue of more than $1 billion. Yes, that's right, billion.
To put that into perspective, Google Inc. had revenue of $963 million in 2003, the year before it went public.
Even more impressively, Bravo, which up until 2007 was known as Elder Health, is projecting that revenue in 2010 could be close to $2 billion, said Charles "Chip" Linehan, a general partner at New Enterprise Associates, who co-founded the Baltimore company in 1995 with health care industry veteran David Carliner. The company, according to Linehan, also is generating solid profits.
And yet despite these figures, Bravo does not have immediate plans to go public. The reason? The ongoing discussion in Washington over health care reform.
Bravo, specifically, is a Medicare Health Maintenance Organization. People on Medicare utilize HMOs such as Bravo in order to protect themselves against the so-called "gaps" that Medicare does not pay like co-payments and deductibles. The trade off for people utilizing HMOs like Bravo is that there are more restrictions on the doctors and hospitals that they can utilize.
Bravo, says Linehan, "would do just fine" under every potential health care proposal that has been discussed in Washington. "Our mission is to improve the quality of care and reduce costs. We are part of the solution, not part of the problem."
But until health care reform either moves forward or is tabled, taking the company public is not an option, he said.
"We want health care reform settled," Linehan said. "It's not what it will be. It's the uncertainty. Once the rules make sense, then we can talk about liquidity options."
Given that uncertainty, it's perhaps understandable that Bravo Health CEO Jeff Follick declined to comment about the company at this time.
Both Linehan and Chris Grant, whose firm Salix Ventures also is an investor in Bravo, said health care reform would likely benefit Bravo as it may have squeezed the profit margins of some competitors, prompting those other HMOs to pull out of some markets. Bravo's largest market is Pennsylvania. The company also offers its Medicare Advantage Plans in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Texas and Washington, D.C. It also offers prescription drug plans in 43 states. All told, Bravo serves more than 360,000 members in partnership with over 30,000 physicians.
"Business has never been better," said Grant, whose partner David Ward sits on Bravo's board. "Enrollment is soaring. The company will be fine if something happens (with health reform). It's not catastrophic."
Regardless of whether it takes a run at a public listing in 2010, 2011 or 2012, Bravo has undergone a transformation over the past decade that shows the flexibility that both investors and entrepreneurs need to have in order to build successful companies.
Bravo's mission, said Linehan, has not changed since its birth. The goal then, as now, is to "provide higher quality, lower cost care for the elderly", specifically those who are lower to middle income, he said. However when it was started, the company was essentially an intermediary, providing adult day care services for insurers.
Initially backed by NEA, Frontenac Company and Coleman Swenson Hoffman Booth, the company for its first five years was "bumping along" while growing its business, said Linehan. Things, however changed some eight years ago when an insurer that Bravo was working with decided to exit from the Medicare business in Maryland.
Losing a key client and significant source of revenue could have been a significant blow to the company, but instead it decided to secure the contract itself and, in turn, revamp its business model to become a Medicare HMO.
Salix, Frazier Healthcare Ventures and Woodbrook Capital, among others, joined NEA, Frontenac and Coleman Swenson in recapitalizing the company in April 2002.
"It's been huge for us," Linehan said. "We were able to control our own destiny. Our operating margins improved and we've had a solid growth trajectory."
The company has done several acquisitions, but the majority of its growth, said Linehan, has come organically.
Since its founding, the company has raised roughly $150 million in venture financing, according to Dow Jones VentureSource of which $118 million has come since the the recap, including a $52 million round in 2004 and a $49 million round in '07. The company's venture investors would obviously love to see an IPO, but are willing to let things play out in Washington.
"The level of uncertainty has been pushed out, but we're very patient," Linehan said. "We've been in a long time, but we are thrilled with the growth."

Russia, CIS & CEE
10-11 June 2010 London
What is the GDF Private Equity Convention?
The Private Equity convention offers a new information service to the private equity industry in Russia, which would maximize "the take home" effect for every participant via enabling a free flow of information, ideas, and contacts among everyone involved. Within this event we step aside from the traditional seminar-style format, where the exchange of ideas is largely limited to coffee and meal breaks towards a fuller discussion based networking platform.
The Format:
The convention will run as a series of discussion groups (three series of the first day and two on the second) organized as friendly conversations among piers. The co-moderators will only make sure that ever one is involved and all the topics that interest them are covered. Everyone participates in the conversation equally and to their own willingness. A participant may choose and join any of the discussion he/she may find most useful.
There will be no presentations or speeches in the discussion rooms, just extended exchange of opinions, ideas, and networking.
The Private Equity professionals are involved in an amazingly wide specter of sectors in Russia and produced an array of imaginative and exciting transactions. Nevertheless, we believe that the information flow within the industry and especially its image and standing could be seriously enhanced.
The private equity industry in Russia is very likely to be one of the first beneficiaries of the possible economic recovery. Despite being affected negatively in the last year (in the wake of the war with Georgia, a few investor-related scandals involving the Mechel and the Anglo-Russian joint venture TNK-BP and the global credit crises) the sector still produced rather impressive results and globally stands out rather favorably with regards of returns on investments.
There are some very encouraging sights (as we have seen in the recent fund raising activity) of the global investors starting to realize the potential offered.
We hope and strive for the GDF convention to help the industry and its participants to get the latest information directly from source, find the new deals, and make new contacts.
GDF meetings do not aim to gather the greatest number of participants, only the most senior : Alchemists of SuccessTM

Obama's FY12 budget includes money for Medicare doctor payments
President Barack Obama has released a fiscal year 2012 budget proposal that includes funding to stabilize Medicare physician payments.
According to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the Obama administration worked in December with Congress to offset the cost of legislation preventing an imminent decrease in physician payments due to the Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula.
Dec. 15, Obama signed H.R. 4994, the Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010 into law that will delay a 25 percent Medicare physician pay cut until Dec. 31 of this year. Some political experts and many stakeholders are speculative Congress will be able to solve the problem this year.
[See more on the one-year delay of a Medicare doc pay cut.]
"The budget goes further and proposes to continue the current level of payment, and offset the increase above current law for the next two years with specific savings," Sebelius told members of the Senate Finance Committee. "Beyond the next two years, I am determined to work with you to put in place a long-term plan to reform physician payment rates in a fiscally responsible way, and to craft a reimbursement system that gives physicians incentives to improve quality and efficiency, while providing predictable payments for care furnished to Medicare beneficiaries."
Obama's $3.7 trillion plan includes $891.6 billion for HHS.
"For every program we invest in, we know we need to cut somewhere else," Sebelius said. "So in developing this budget, we took a magnifying glass to every program in our department and made tough choices. When we found waste, we cut it. When we found duplication, we eliminated it. When programs weren't working well enough, we reorganized and streamlined them to put a new focus on results. When they weren't working at all, we ended them. In some cases, we cut programs we wouldn't in better fiscal times."
"My discretionary budget is slightly below the 2010 level," she said.
Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), senior member of the Senate Budget Committee and the Finance Committee, wasn't pleased with the President's proposal.
"The President said families have to live within their budgets, but his proposal makes a mockery of that statement," he said. "Over 10 years, the debt balloons from $14 trillion today to more than $26 trillion. On any measure of debt, his budget makes things worse, not better."
Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association, said the AHA is pleased that the President's budget doesn't include any new reductions in payments for hospital services to Medicare beneficiaries, but it's "deeply disappointed" that the budget reduces Medicaid.
"(A)t a time when hospitals have already been asked to absorb big cuts at the state level and state budgets are already stretched, it is unwise to ask states to continue to do more with less," he said. "In addition, we are also disappointed to see elimination of funding for the children's graduate medical education program at a time when there is a need for an expanded physician workforce."
Umbdenstock said the AHA fully supports eliminating future reductions to physicians, but warned the answer to the physician payment issue is not cutting one provider to reimburse another.
[MedPAC recommends a 1 percent pay increase for doctors. Read more.]

Placing a participant in a job is only a part of the process of job placement. Another important part comes with follow-up. Follow-up enables staff to determine the program's degree of success in maintaining job placements and helps the participants adjust to the job. Contact is maintained with both the employer and participant at scheduled intervals to determine potential areas of disagreement, misunderstanding and areas where improvement needs to be made. The Farmworker Program performs follow-up contacts at three months, six months, nine months, and twelve months on the job.

Utah Jazz (9-7, 3-7 road) vs. OKC Thunder (12-4, 8-2 home)
TV: FS OK (Cox 37, HD 722, Tulsa Cox 27, DirectTV 679, UVerse 754)
Stream: Click here
Radio: WWLS The Sports Animal (98.1 FM, 640 AM, 97.1 FM Tulsa)
Time: 7:00 CT
Offensive Rating: Thunder – 112.3 (1st), Jazz– 106.3 (9th)
Defensive Rating: Thunder – 102.7 (9th), Jazz – 105.0 (17th)
Pace: Thunder – 92.7 (13th), Jazz – 91.1 (22nd)
View from the enemy: Salt City Hoops
It wasn't expect prior to the season, but the Jazz appear to possibly be Thunder's top competition in the Northwest. Obviously there's still lots of time for the Nuggets and Wolves to pick it up, but as it stands now, the team chasing OKC closest is the Jazz.
Utah coming in: The Jazz last played Wednesday, handling the Hornets.
Three Big Things
1. Inside work. The Jazz focus a lot of their attention in the paint and on the glass. Perk will have his hands full with Al Jefferson on the block and Serge Ibaka will have to focus to keep Paul Millsap off the offensive glass.
2. No Marvin. The Jazz are without Marvin Williams who has a concussion, meaning they don't really have anyone ideal to defend Kevin Durant. Gordon Hayward and DeMarre Carrol will get the bulk of the assignment. So good luck to them.
3. Roll on. The Thunder are in a pretty good groove, especially at home. That talk of lackluster energy and effort has slid away and the Thunder clearly are performing better at The Peake. There's solid momentum for the team riding off the emotional Wednesday win so you don't want to kill that now.
Tip at 7:00 CT. Go Hoops.

I was raised in Melbourne, Iowa and attended all four of the school buildings in the West Marshall district - graduating from the high school in State Center. Shortly after graduation, I married Gary and moved to McCallsburg where we were blessed to work for amazing landlords prior to farming on our own.
I am a graduate of Marshalltown Community College and began my working career at Donnelley Marketing's Human Resource office in Nevada. I have a varied work background - including a stint as High School Secretary at Colo-Nesco, and a working partner on the farm. I presently work at Gilbert Community Schools as District Administrative Assistant in the Superintendent's office and am a Mary Kay Consultant.
We are surrogate parents to my younger brother and sister (she is a NESCO graduate) and parents to Gannon (a CN graduate and former school board member). We have a wonderful daughter-in-law, Heidi, and she and Gannon currently live in Maxwell.
In my downtime, I swim twice a week and love to walk outdoors, but anyone who knows me at all, knows I most love reading!
I look forward to my term on the CN School Board and plan to be the best listener I can be for all the patrons of the district and make sure that we do all we can to prepare our students for life out in the real world.

My wife Katherine and I were married and moved to Colo in 1979. In 1984 after the birth of our first 2 children, we moved to Zearing. Our children started in the Colo-NESCO district about the time it became "official" and since then all 4 of our children have become graduates of Colo-NESCO. During this time Kathy has worked at the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown and after finishing graduate school at Iowa State University, I have worked for Metabolic Technologies in Ames. While Kathy spent her life in the central Iowa area, I was born in Des Moines, lived in Marshalltown a couple of years, grew up and went through public school in Massachusetts (where most of my family still resides), and then moved back to Iowa in 1973 after graduating from Foxborough High School in Massachusetts. Over the years I have served the community and our youth in many capacities: serving in various offices in our church supporting youth programs; served on the Riverside Bible Camp Board of Directors; served in many capacities with the Boy Scouts including Cubmaster; and have coached youth in Basketball, Soccer, Baseball and Volleyball. I am entering my tenth year on the board and I believe our youth are our future and that we all need to invest time and effort to make sure they succeed. I believe in public education as the foundation of this country, and that a strong public educational system prepares our youth for successful and productive lives as adults.

Shaham, 36, built his reputation as a violinist of singular warmth, lyricism and technical prowess on warhorses like the Tchaikovsky Concerto. Yet though he's often played this work and others like it -- including concertos by Brahms, Mendelssohn and Bruch -- he insists that he never tires of them. Nor does he seem to tire of the Bowl, where he has been a frequent visitor for the last decade and a half.
"I love the Bowl, the whole atmosphere," Shaham said on the telephone from Aspen, Colo., where he was teaching and performing last month. "There's a different audience that goes to the Bowl than to typical classical concerts, and that's great. There's a more casual feeling about it. Sometimes it gets a little bit schwitzy. There have been a couple of times when it felt like it was 100 degrees on stage. But mostly it's very comfortable, with a nice breeze, and you can look up at the stars."
Though Shaham's musical interests are wide-ranging -- he's equally comfortable performing Mozart and Beethoven or Stravinsky and Prokofiev -- he is at the moment in the thrall of a piece little known to Western audiences, the "Butterfly Lovers" concerto, a throbbing, romantic work of relatively recent vintage by two Chinese students who were later persecuted during the Cultural Revolution. If you don't know it, you're not alone, though Shaham hopes to change that with his recording of it, intended for release in the foreseeable but not immediate future. He also hopes to play it at the Bowl someday. He first encountered the work about 15 years ago, when a friend in Hong Kong played it for him on a record. "He played about five minutes of it," the violinist recalls. "And then he started welling up with tears. And I thought that any music that affects people in this way, I want to learn more about."
The concerto is especially popular in Asia, in part because it evokes a famous legend. The story, a sort of Chinese "Romeo and Juliet," according to Shaham, tells of the doomed love of Zhu Ying-Tai for Liang Shan-Po. He said the work is called "Liang-Zhu" for short.
"I always say I'm a young Jew playing Liang-Zhu," Shaham joked.
Unlike in Shakespeare, though, where the tragedy is permanent, the deceased young lovers in this tale are resurrected as a pair of butterflies.
Shaham, whose mother-in-law is Cantonese, has performed the concerto several times now, including at the Blossom Music Center, summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra.
When the CD is released, it will appear on the Canary Classics label, which Shaham established in 2003 as a bulwark against the fickle fortunes of today's classical recording industry. The name is a pun, invoking both the songbird and canar, the Hebrew word for violinist.
For years a prolific artist on the Deutsche Grammophon label, Shaham is now able to release just what he wants, rather than what marketing mavens insist is right.
"Freedom is invaluable," he said. "And I always had a problem with authority. I tell all my friends, if you can own your own music, it's always better."
That freedom led him to release an album of chamber music by the restrained French master Gabriel Fauré and then albums featuring Shaham in musical partnership with his sister, Orli, a pianist. As for what the future holds, Shaham, though slightly cagey, hints at expansion.
"It's kind of like a family business, like a restaurant or a food stall," he said, "and hopefully people like the food and will come back. Technology has really set us free. You can make the highest quality recording pretty much on your laptop now. When I first started, you had huge walls of equipment. You still need a great engineer and producer, but it's relatively inexpensive now."
The opportunity to work with his sister has certainly been welcomed by the violinist, who said that a concert artist's busy life makes it tough to find time for friends and family. That Orli is not just a performer, but also married to the conductor David Robertson, music director of the St. Louis Symphony, only further complicates their schedules. So when opportunities do present themselves, both Shahams seize them.
"We're very comfortable with each other, which also means we're very abrasive, very short, with each other," he said. "I always say: The family that plays together, well, at least we don't have to talk to each other. That's my take on family harmony. But really it's almost the only time we see each other, so it's really, really nice."
In fact, Shaham has the luxury of performing, and thus traveling, far less than many other successful concert artists. Having begun his international career while in his late teens and achieving fame soon afterward, he is now enjoying the fruits of those labors.
"I play only 50 concerts a year," he said, citing a number that's shockingly low for an artist of his stature.
His flexible schedule might also provide more time for him to visit Israel, where he has close relatives, if no immediate family members. Born to Israeli parents in Champaign-Urbana, Ill., in 1971, he moved to Israel at the age of 7, when his parents returned there. He has since resettled in the United States but has dual citizenship and travels to Israel pretty much annually, regularly performing with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
But the primary reason for the paucity of concert dates is so that he can spend more time with his wife, Adele Anthony, who is also a violinist, and his two children, Elijah, 4, and Ella, 1. "I try to play as much around New York as possible, so we can hang out as a family," Shaham said. "And I'm very lucky to be able to do that. So many people tell me they regret not spending more time with their kids. I'm pretty much taking it easy, spending time with the kids."
Gil Shaham performs Tuesday, July 10 at 8 p.m. at the Hollywood Bowl, 2301 N. Highland Ave., Hollywood. (323) 850-2000. For more information, visit http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/tix/performance_detail.cfm?id=3225

Change "House's" M.D. to a J.D. and you pretty much have CBS' latest drama, with James Woods as a curmudgeonly, sarcastic yet brilliant attorney surrounded by a focus-group-tested posse of young prosecutors. Filled with L.A. references, enlivened by Woods' rapid-fire delivery, series is a throwback to old courtshows set to a modern soundtrack.
Change "House's" M.D. to a J.D. and you pretty much have CBS' latest drama, with James Woods as a curmudgeonly, sarcastic yet brilliant attorney surrounded by a focus-group-tested posse of young prosecutors. Filled with L.A. references, enlivened by Woods' rapid-fire delivery, series is a throwback to old courtshows set to a modern soundtrack. Thursdays post-"CSI" is a timeslot to kill for, and the competition — including an aging "ER" — is suspect. Still, Woods will have to keep paddling for all he's worth to keep "Shark" from doing more than just treading water.
In a painfully obvious, too-quick set-up, Woods' defense ace Sebastian Stark gets a wife-beating client acquitted, only to have the bastard turn around and kill her. Guilty over the woman's death, he's approached by L.A.'s mayor (Carlos Gomez, channeling Antonio Villaraigosa) to spearhead a unit charged with handling high-profile cases within the prosecutor's office.
None of this sits well with the D.A. (Jeri Ryan, prematurely making the "First Wives Club" leap from "babe" to "district attorney"), who assigns Stark the case of a rising young pop singer accused of murdering a one-night stand, pitting him against another top defense gun (guest Lynn Whitfield), with whom he has a past. Meanwhile, Stark's at risk of losing contact with his teenage daughter (Danielle Panabaker), whose mom is prepping a move back East.
Directed by Spike Lee, the script, by series creator Ian Biederman, dispatches with the business of establishing the premise except for one glaring oversight — there's not a single word about the enormous pay cut Stark will endure in order to salve his aching conscience. Even if, as the mayor maintains, he's "sick of playing on the wrong side," nobody mentions how he'll pay for that great big house with the mock courtroom in the basement.
Stark is surrounded by a particularly bland if ethnically diverse group at which he barks his "win at all costs" orders, having previously stated that prosecutors are "my main source of fiber." (On the plus side, most of them appear too old for Woods to date.)
If there's one major point of departure from "House," it's the Shark's role as a semi-wayward dad, and while Panabaker might be a fine young actress, she's supposed to be 16 but sounds like she's 47. Coming across as precocious is OK, but Ph.D. in family psychology is pushing matters.
Mining the safer flip side of Fox's "Justice," the series figures to have fun with celebrity-style cases, and Woods is such a compelling presence that he might be able to elevate even procedural fare. Yet while sinking his teeth into all that eloquent courtroom oratory is surely an actor's feast, barring any major changes, "Shark" is more a snack than a meal.

The state Senate last week approved a funding plan aimed at upgrading transportation infrastructure.
Senate Bill 1, sponsored by Senate Transportation Chairman John Rafferty, R-Collegeville, will increase Pennsylvania's annual transportation investment by $2.5 billion. It follows the recommendations made by the Governor's Transportation Funding Advisory Commission.
The plan also increases funding for the state's Dirt and Gravel Road Program from $5 million to $35 million.
"The transportation funding plan approved today by the Senate was supported across the board by the business community, chambers of commerce, engineers, contractors, AFSCME, the agriculture community and many others," Sen. E. Eugene Yaw, R-Loyalsock Township, said in a news release.
The bill will raise needed revenue through a number of sources including adjusting outdated vehicle and driver fees for inflation, surcharging fines for drivers who violate traffic laws, uncapping the Oil Company Franchise Tax over three years, and achieving significant cost savings by modernizing many state Department of Transportation services.
The plan will invest:
$2.5 billion in Pennsylvania's highways and bridges, transit agencies, railways, airports, ports and bicycle and pedestrian programs by the fifth year of the plan;
About $1.9 billion for state and local highways and bridges;
About $510 million for Pennsylvania's 36 urban and rural transit agencies;
About $115 million for railways, airports, ports and bicycle and pedestrian programs.
"As part of this funding plan, several transportation-related projects throughout northeastern and central Pennsylvania will receive needed financial support," Yaw said. "This includes the Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway Project, a project that has sat dormant for almost 40 years. This bill will create needed jobs throughout my district, especially in the trades and construction industry.
"I am hopeful that when signed by Gov. (Tom) Corbett, this bill will also advance the needs of our agriculture industry and improve the competitiveness of our dairy industry with other states. As a result of highway weight differential between states, Pennsylvania dairy operations are forced to put out bids with smaller loads, requiring the customer to unload more trucks and pay higher hauling costs. This has hurt us competitively to the point where we have lost hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs to New York state."

Swallowed battery hazards: ER visits double
Has this happened to anyone you know? Scary and sad.
Swallowed battery hazards: ER visits double
By Linda Carroll
Every three hours a child shows up in a U.S. emergency room with a battery that's been swallowed or placed in the mouth, ears or nose, a new study shows.
That number is almost double what it was 20 years ago, according to the report published in Pediatrics Monday.
The main culprits are "button batteries," which account for almost 85 percent of the ER visits, researchers found. These coin-shaped batteries seem to be ubiquitous nowadays, turning up in a wide variety of electronic devices, from toys, to remote controls, to watches.
Although most kids seen by ER doctors are pronounced healthy and sent home, some of the newer batteries can cause serious damage if they lodge in the throat, says the study's lead author Dr. Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
When kids get 3-volt 20 mm lithium batteries lodged in their esophagus, the moisture there can spark a microcurrent, Smith explains.
"That will lead to cell death and eventually burn a hole right through the esophagus," Smith says. "And that will lead to long term scarring and stricture. Even worse, there are some cases where it eroded right into the aorta and the child bled to death. These are horrific, horrific outcomes that need to be prevented."
What's especially scary is that this can all happen quickly.
"Serious damage can occur in less than two hours," Smith says. "If parents have any suspicion that their child has swallowed a button battery – even if they're not sure – they need to take the child immediately to the emergency room to get an X-ray to see if the button battery is stuck in the esophagus... This can't wait till the next morning," says Smith.
The new study is based on nationally representative data collected over a 20 year period (1990 to 2009) from approximately 100 U.S. hospitals. When the researchers extrapolated the results to include all U.S. hospitals, they determined that there were nearly 66,000 emergency department visits by children under age 18 for issues involving a battery.
While some children were brought to the emergency room for batteries that had been placed in the mouth, ear or nose, the vast majority came in because batteries had been swallowed. In most of those cases were in children who were 5 or younger.
Button batteries accounted for a full 84 percent of all battery-related ingestions in children younger than 18.
"The real high risk age group peaks around the second year of life," Smith says. "They put things in their mouths as part of exploration and these batteries are easy to swallow.
While almost a third of the ingested batteries came from toys and games, the majority came from devices such as hearing aids, watches, calculators, remote controls and flashlights. That's why Smith and his colleagues would like to see manufacturers designing battery compartments with child safety in mind. In the meantime, he says, parents should consider taping battery compartments closed so children can't get to the batteries inside.
"We can do better," Smith says. "And it's not that difficult."
OMG, I was just telling someone this story over the weekend.
When DS was probably 8 months old, he was going through the throwing the remote phase. The backs were constantly getting broken off and batteries rolling everywhere. So this happens one day, DH is sitting on the couch, DS is sitting on the floor next to him, playing. Remote goes flying, DH stands, turns his back on DS, to pick up battery #1, and then he cant find battery #2. He searches for about 30 minutes, getting more panicked each minute, and he finally wakes me from my nap.
Now, I'm pretty certain that my infant hasnt swallowed a AA battery. This is a kid who can barely swallow mashed bananas for cryin out loud. But DH's panic is starting to wear on me. My sister calls, I explain the situation to her, thinking this mother of 3 will be the voice of reason that I need to finally calm DH. Oh no. She FREAKS!! "OMG I saw this on 20/20 and the stomach acid will eat through the battery." and on and on. Alright we'll go to the ER (it's like 9:00 pm).
First we go to the regular ER right by our house. I'm still thinking, the first medical professional we explain this to, is going to laugh at us. Our infant didnt swallow a huge AA battery. Oh no, the nurse in the waiting room freaks out, and sends us directly to Childrens. Great. Traffic and road construction delay us. My 8 month old is getting fussy. Presumably because it's nearing 10:00pm, but to our ears it's the sound of battery acid slowly eating his intestines. (I've almost completely jumped on the panic bandwagon at this point.
We get to Childrens, they also think this is completely plausable, and rush us in past everyone else to X-ray. We wait, and wait, and wait. X-rays come back and we're escorted back to see the doctor.
She looks very concerned. "We'll we dont see anything on the X-ray, so can you tell me again what happened? Was this a watch battery?"
Oh no, a AA.
"Hmmm, so he was alone in the room?"
Oh no, dad was right there, he would have had about 1.5 seconds to swallow it while dad's back was turned. Bless her heart, she tried so hard not to laugh. I kept thinking, where was this skepticsm before I forked over $200 co-pay???
Long story short ~The battery was under the couch. Valuable lesson learned. My husband is now on the "I'll tell you when to panic" plan.
'Button' Batteries Sending More Kids to ER: Study
Emergency visits for accidental swallowing have doubled
By Alan Mozes
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, May 14 (HealthDay News) -- Cases of children rushed to the emergency room after accidentally swallowing coin-sized batteries found in many household gadgets have doubled over the past two decades, new research reveals.
Serious complications -- including fatalities -- can arise when so-called "button batteries," found in items ranging from remote-control devices to children's toys, get lodged in the esophagus.
"The increase we're seeing is a call to action," said study lead author Dr. Gary A. Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. "I've treated many of these children, and when it happens it's absolutely horrifying. So while we've always respected the dangers these batteries pose, now it's really time for us to redouble our efforts to warn parents and work with manufacturers to take steps against this risk."
The study appears online May 14 and in the June issue of Pediatrics.
The authors looked at U.S. National Electronic Injury Surveillance System data concerning all battery-related visits to the ER among children up to age 18.
The data covered the years between 1990 and 2009, and though ER visits related to all types of batteries were tracked, the team noted that nearly 84 percent of such visits involved button-sized batteries.
Four different types of accidental contact with button batteries were tallied: swallowing and insertion of a battery into the mouth, ear, or nose.
The team found that over the 20-year period such contacts translated into nearly 66,000 ER visits, with a dramatic increase over the final eight years. Button batteries accounted for 2,785 ER visits by kids younger than 18 in 2009, up from 1,301 in 1990.
"In effect, the curve of ER cases is now swinging way up," Smith said, "which means the increase is increasing, so to speak. And this coincides with another very important factor, which is that when they are swallowed the risk is greater than ever because of the relatively recent introduction of 3-volt 20 mm lithium batteries. Button batteries used to be just 1.5 volts, so that means that these new batteries are much more powerful than their predecessors."
That means that although 92 percent of battery cases are successfully treated, the remainder face an ever-increasing risk for severe internal damage, Smith said. "When these increasingly powerful batteries stop in one spot in the esophagus they can create a little micro-current and burn a hole right through, causing very serious damage in less than two hours," he explained. "It can even burn into the aorta and cause a child to bleed to death."
Toddlers and others 5 years and younger faced the highest risk for accidental button-battery contact, with the average age of incoming ER patients just below 4 years.
Boys accounted for a bigger slice of the ER visits (about 60 percent), while most cases (nearly 77 percent) were the result of battery swallowing. Nose contact accounted for roughly 10 percent of cases, followed by mouth exposure (7.5 percent) and ear insertion (almost 6 percent).
"For parents, the message is that if they suspect that their child has swallowed a battery they need to get to the ER right away," Smith said. "And in terms of prevention, they need to store and dispose of batteries out of reach, and also tape all battery compartments shut."
"For manufacturers, what we really need is to have an overarching effort by the industry to make battery compartments inaccessible and child-resistant.," Smith added. "For all products. Not just toys. Because most were not coming from products intended for children. They were coming from remote controls. Flashlights."
Dr. Lee Sanders, an associate professor of pediatrics at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., also expressed concern.
"Whenever we see a marked rise in any cause of injury for a child, it's concerning from a public-health standpoint," he said. "So we need to investigate the root cause of this doubling. One possibility is that there is, in fact, increased exposure to button batteries themselves. But of course we might have to also look at other causes, like changes in the actual reporting of cases that might have taken place as the system for reporting improves or the coding for reporting improves."
Sanders added that parents should heed the general advice regarding choking, especially for those 5 years and younger. "Children should never be unattended and they should never be within reach of any object that can fit through a choke tube, which is basically the cardboard tube of a toilet-paper roll," he said. This is particularly the case with objects not normally considered dangerous, such as children's toys that have batteries and other small parts, and various objects found in the kitchen or bathroom. "That's the best preventive strategy," he said.
I was just reading this, this morning.
Yep we see a lot of battery accidents in my Er too... also choking on bottle caps, and no helmet bike accidents...... I had a mother just last week lying to me telling me her 8 year old was wearing her helmet....the kids said she was not until her mother told her to change her story RIGHT in front of me!! In anycase the injury could not have happened if she were indeed wearing a helmet.... that poor young girls life will NEVER be the same and her mother really should do jail time IMHO for being sooooo inadequate as a parent
That's so scary. Thankfully the only small batteries in our house are in items with a screw on back - I know that's not a guarantee, but it does make me feel like they're a little less likely to get loose.
all my batteriues are kept in my basement in a cupboard high up and my husband or I get any batteries if they are needed.
