Nick Diaz: 'I've never paid taxes in my life, I'm probably gonna go to jail'
Nick Diaz following UFC 158: 'I've never paid taxes in my life, I'm probably gonna go to jail'
By Brent Brookhouse on Mar 18 2013, 10:00a
Nick Diaz claims he has never paid taxes following his loss to Georges St. Pierre at UFC 158. Given that he has made roughly $800,000 just in disclosed pay since 2011 (not counting the GSP fight), Diaz could very well be in serious trouble.
Nick Diaz's behavior following his loss to Georges St. Pierre at UFC 158 has been somewhat predictable. Following a fairly lopsided loss, Diaz once again decided that he should retire. He also spoke in the cage following his loss and at the press conference, saying he didn't want to make excuses, followed by making a list of excuses.
That kind of behavior is expected from Diaz.
What isn't, however, is Nick announcing to the world at the press conference that he's never paid taxes.Here's the quote from our transcript of the post fight presser:
Media Member: "If you don't retire and you do stay with this, it sounds like not being fully happy with your team, where you're at, and if you did stay with this, what would you do? Would you change teams, would you..."
Diaz: "No, I can't be jumpin' teams. I just have to invest a little more...you know, now that I have a little bit more...you know, I've never paid taxes in my life, I'm probably gonna go to jail. (media laughs) That's not because I don't have, that's not because - what, nobody wants to hear about that, nobody wants to hear about that kind of talk, or what's really going on with me. But I might as well just be a kid, you know, I've had fight after fight after fight after fight, you know. You don't know what that does to someone who didn't graduate high school. You don't understand. Everyone has to take that - well, nobody has to do shit, but you can take that into consideration for a second, think about what three fights a year will do to you your whole life. And the only time you have some time off is, like a vacation, everyone's telling you you're this piece of shit, suspended, you know, you ain't fightin' this guy, you ain't fightin' that guy. You're gonna come back and have to dance around with a bunch of hard-hitting people. It's just not...it's just...it's a rough sport."
ESPN had some thoughts from Dana White on the situation:
"At the end of the day, Nick has been in the sport forever. He wanted a shot at the title, he got a shot at the title and he got paid a lot of money for it. What's sad is he better go pay those taxes, a soon as he gets that check."
White said he may speak to Diaz's lawyer to see if he can help.
Here are a list of Diaz's disclosed payouts since 2011:
●vs. Carlos Condit at UFC 143 - $200,000
●vs. B.J. Penn at UFC 137 - $200,000 + $75,000 fight of the night bonus
●vs. Paul Daley at Strikeforce - $175,000
●vs. Cyborg Santos at Strikeforce - $150,000
That's right around $800,000 just in disclosed pay, not counting this weekend's bouts. If Diaz truly has not paid taxes on any of that money, he could be in a world of trouble.
The IRS is also very consistent about going after people who challenge them publicly, so if he hasn't paid, he's almost certainly going to get caught now.

ACLU notifies NSD of constitutional implications of drug testing policy
by Andrew Walgamott
NORTHSHORE--The American Civil Liberties Union is vowing to file suit against the Northshore School District if the district begins "suspicionless" drug testing. But district officials said the ACLU's interest won't stop them from engaging the community in discussions about random and mandatory testing of high school athletes.
Gerard Sheehan, Seattle ACLU legislative director, said a suit would be "pretty likely" if the district went through with drug testing.
Sheehan has notified the district via letter that such a policy would be a violation of the Washington Constitution, Article 1, section 7 which protects citizens against suspicionless searches. "If government gets to search people, it's in the belief the individual is doing something wrong," Sheehan said. "Here, there's no reason."
He termed the letter a "statement of intent" rather than a threat.
The district will hold community meetings at the Bothell High School gym Sept. 29 and Oct. 8. The public is encouraged to attend as their voice will help determine whether or not the district pursues testing.
"We will not be presenting policy or procedures at this meeting. We will be looking at concepts," Eric Barnum, Northshore Director of Student and Athlete Services, said. A panel of speakers from Burlington-Edison School District (which tests athletes), Northshore, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association and a drug testing laboratory will be on hand.
Meetings begin at 7 p.m. BHS is at 18125 92nd Ave. N.E. in Bothell.
The School Board would have the final say if the district tests or not.
Sheehan said the district hadn't invited the ACLU to speak at the meetings, but toldWoodinville Weekly representatives from his organization would attend.

Tues., Oct 4th Come sit in on our Steering Committee meeting
Oakland Votes to Ban Coal Shipments from Port
Officials in Oakland, California, effectively ended proposals to open a new coal export terminal by voting to ban the transport and storage of the fossil fuel within city limits. Health and pollution concerns for neighborhoods and workers, particularly in West Oakland, were a main reason for the ban, in addition to advocacy of the ban by 350 Bay Area and others to help stop climate change.
The hard-fought stand by Oakland is being celebrated by environmental and social justice groups across the country.
Judge Rules for Youths in Landmark Climate Lawsuit
On April 8, Judge Thomas Coffin of the Federal District Court in Eugene, Oregon, decided in favor of 21 young plaintiffs in their landmark constitutional climate case against the federal government. The ruling denied a motion to dismiss brought by the fossil fuel industry and the Federal government. That will send the lawsuit forward to trial on the youths' claim that the government is infringing on their life and liberty by failing to take action to curtail fossil fuel emissions.
Naomi Klein, Bill McKibben and others have called this "the most important lawsuit on the planet right now."
Paris Climate Deal: Follow the Money
Mark Hertsgaard says "Climate change has always been about money, but the Paris agreement has a chance to change where money will flow, how quickly, and in what quantities."
If civil society and political leadership can make large enough sums shift away from fossil fuels and toward climate-friendly alternatives quickly enough, Paris could be remembered with immense gratitude by any future descendants we may have. If not…
Highlights: Where the Paris Climate Talks are Going
World leaders have 12 days to agree on plans to slow global warming.
The pledges that countries have signaled they will make over the next two weeks in Paris to cut emissions will inevitably fall short of what is needed to solve the problem of climate change.
The heads of state and leaders of government departed the Paris climate talks, leaving their diplomats and negotiators to work out the details of deals for the next 10 days. But before they took off …
What's really at stake at the Paris climate conference now marches are banned - Naomi Klein
By banning protest at COP21, Hollande is silencing those facing the worst impacts of climate change and its monstrous violence
Whose security gets protected by any means necessary? Whose security is casually sacrificed, despite the means to do so much better? Those are the questions at the heart of the climate crisis, and the answers are the reason climate summits so often end in acrimony and tears.

Is Jose Juan Barea For Real?
He just can't be. Can he?
I was in the fifth row at American Airlines Center Saturday night and I still don't believe what I saw. Or heard.
Either Criss Angel is playing some mind trick on me, or J.J. Barea may actually be an NBA player.
Barea, all 5-foot-10ish, made slithery drive after squirrely shot en route to a 16-point third, climaxed by a double-take, up-and-under, left-handed reverse layup that brought the crowd to its feet and the Atlanta Hawks to their knees.

TicketsFri., Sep. 30, 8:00pm
For a long stretch of a competitve game against a winning team, he was the best player on the court.
As Barea stepped to the free-throw line early in the fourth, AAC erupted in the most unlikely chant in the history of the Mavericks:
Dirk Nowitzki won his second NBA Western Conference Player of the Week in three weeks yesterday for helping Dallas to nine wins in their last 10 entering tonight's doozy against the San Antonio Spurs. But it's Barea - still difficult to type this - who has been the shockingly successful sparkplug.
"I'm always a believer that anything is possible," says Mavs coach Rick Carlisle. "Would I have predicted it? No. Am I shocked? Absolutely not."
Well, I am. And I suspect the long line forms right behind me.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Habayit Hayehudi (Jewish Home) became the fifth party to join the government led by Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu.
The party will receive the science portfolio, with Prof. Daniel Hershkowitz slated to serve as science minister.
Habayit Hayehudi will also chair the Knesset Committee on Children's Rights and the Knesset Education Committee for one-third of the Netanyahu government's term in office.
"We are aware that Israel faces important decisions, which I hope will not be difficult ones," Hershkowitz said. "Habayit Hayehudi is truly a natural partner and I hope this partnership will get stronger and truly bring good results," he said.
Likud lead negotiator MK (member of Knesset) Gideon Sa'ar said he was glad the negotiations ended successfully.
"We are very happy to have reached this point, even though we faced various types of difficulties. But, thank God, we overcame them," Sa'ar said.
"The Habayit Hayehudi faction is a party that is close to us in many ways," he said.

Wind Energy: British Columbia's Low-Cost Clean and Renewable Choice
With abundant, world-class wind resources, BC is poised to be a national leader in wind energy, powering the province's fast-growing demand for energy with emissions-free electricity while creating jobs and delivering local benefits. Wind energy integration is a key component of a stronger, cleaner and more affordable power system for BC families and businesses.
British Columbia's first wind farm started commercial operations in November 2009. Today, the province has almost 500 MW of installed wind energy capacity, ranking fifth in Canada and supplying nearly 2 per cent of the province's domestic electricity demand.
BC's energy demand is set to increase by the end of this decade with new mines, expanding natural gas extraction and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities. The Government of BC has signaled its intention to ensure BC has the "cleanest LNG in the world" by taking advantage of clean energy to power new LNG plants. The BC Government also intends to create new opportunities for independent power producers and First Nations.
Wind by the numbers in BC (December 2015)
Number of Installations: 5
Number of Wind Turbines: 217
Total Installed Capacity (MW): 489
Average Turbine Capacity (MW): 2.25

The Americans got a powerful header from Shannon Boxx in the first half (her first goal since returning from knee surgery) and second-half strikes from Kristine Lilly (124th career goal and seventh of 2007) and Abby Wambach(75th to tie Cindy Parlow for fifth place on the all-time U.S. scoring list). The fourth U.S. goal was an own goal.
The USA has now won three consecutive games against the Japanese after tying the three previous matches.
"I was really happy with the performance," said U.S. head coach Greg Ryan. "I thought we defended really well. Japan is very quick, skillful and creative, and broke us down in the second half, but overall I thought we defended very well. I was really happy with how aggressive we were in attacking and really going after them."

Until a few years ago, I would have told you how much I hated corn tortillas. Those cardboard disks they sell in supermarkets, so bland, tasteless and rubbery were not my bag.
I wondered, to myself, how anyone could pick those during the "corn or flour" debate. Really, corn? What am I missing?
It turns out that homemade corn tortillas, with their seductive softness and slightly sweet flavor (don't even get me started on the amazing smell) changed my taco-making life.
Like the difference between baloney and Filet Mignon, homemade corn tortillas are an entirely different beast. Once I made my own from scratch, I was shocked – shocked I tell you! – at how much I'd been missing out on.
How is it that no one told me that it only takes a few minutes to throw these together and they are somewhere around a billion times better than the crap in stores? Seriously friends, what the hell?
Like the revelation of discovering how insanely brainless it is to make homemade whipped cream, I'll never go back to store-bought. Plus, it's about 3 cents per tortilla, gluten-free and vegan, making it a perfect choice for a large get together when who knows what kind of food aversion people will have.
Look how accommodating you are, AND you make your own tortillas?!
They'll never know.
You need a few supplies, but don't worry, you've got this.
- Tortillas press. You can buy one online, at Mexican markets or you can fashion your own. I have this aluminum one, and my Mexican friends tend to prefer this wood one.
(I have also heard that you can use two very heavy books wrapped in plastic wrap or try your hand with a rolling pin and some parchment paper. )
- Masa, also called Masa Harina, which most stores sell in the "ethnic foods" aisle, or you can buy online.
- Water, salt and a bowl.
- Griddle or cast iron skillet.
That's it. Not too bad, right?
- 1 cup Masa
- pinch salt
- ¾ cup water (I've also used beer, which turns out great as well)
- In a large bowl, add the Masa and the salt, stir to combine.
- Add the water and stir to combine. If the dough is too dry to hold together, add additional water. If it is too wet, add more Masa.
- Form into balls a bit larger than golf balls.
- Prepare a tortillas press by wrapping in plastic wrap or covering with parchment paper. Place one ball in the center.
- Press, rotate and press again until thin.
- Heat a griddle (or cast iron skillet) to a medium high heat (about 350 for electric griddles).
- Cook until slightly brown on the bottom (about 30 seconds to a minute) flip and cook on the other side. Don't overcook.
- Serve warm, impress your friends.

"Propping" Up Grayson: Behind-the-Scenes of My Little's Photo Shoot (Photos)Casi Densmore-Koon
I was super-excited to be joining Kim Flores in her studio once again to document Grayson's three month milestone. Yes, three months. The last time we spent time shooting with our amazing photographer (and my best friend) was Grayson's newborn shoot. Talk about breathtaking photos! So, I couldn't wait to see what was in store this time around. Kim is just amazing, so brilliant.
I prepared ahead of time with just a few things I wanted to include in the shoot but mostly, Kim does all the work. For one of the photos, it took a lot of serious patience getting Grayson to stay asleep while he was snuggled in a simple wrap. But I am sure the photo will be worth it!
I will say, she works hard. These photo shoots are anything but easy, especially to capture that perfect shot. But a few quick tips and helpful hands, it becomes quite a fun experience. A time I will forever cherish! Especially when your best friend, some good music and Starbucks is involved. I can't wait to share the gallery with you.
Just Resting 1 of 7It takes a lot of work to change the background and get props ready. Grayson gave us a little smile in between takes.
Getting the Perfect Shot 2 of 7Kim is hard at work! The best trick to get your little to smile? Talk in the high-pitch baby voice. I felt like a completely idiot, but it worked! Kim and I couldn't help but laugh out how silly I sounded. But she had the perfect view to snap a smile.
Baby. In a Bucket. 3 of 7Sometimes it's the smallest little props that are so simple and make the picture perfect. A cozy prop blanket inside a wash tub inspired bucket makes for an easy adorable picture. He looks comfy too!
Keeping a 3 Month Old Asleep 4 of 7Well, it's not as easy as it was when he was a newborn. Not only did it take our four hands, a portable heater and a Little Giraffe blanket to keep him warm and cozy. But, it took a good ten minutes for Kim to have 2 seconds to snap. It is hard work when it comes to capturing a stunning photo.
Sleepy Boy 5 of 7Finally, sleeping sound. He even propped his hand for us. I can't wait to see this photo come to life after she edits them.
Cute Little Props 6 of 7How adorable are these suspender sets? We had so much bringing them to life and incorporating them into the shoot. Sometimes, it looks just as good to lay the bow tie on the baby without a shirt for the photos. This will focus on his face and a cute accessory! Of corse, we used the adorable suspenders too.
Get an adorable suspender and bow tie set like the one we used from The Snappy Sapling for $27.95
What to Wear 7 of 7And this is what the mess looks like. Laying out the outfits. Making sure the backgrounds, blankets and rugs are coordinate well. All of the little details are what make the photos in the end. Stay tuned for the end results later this week.


text: Youth & Education Stories about education focused on the Pacific Northwest and the nation. Proposed Cuts At Green River Community College Inflame Tensions By Kyle Stokes • May 27, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU News Listen Listening... / 5:04 Kyle Preston, 24, is two quarters away from completing a degree from a program Green River College has proposed to cut. Preston is one of a handful of students taking classes in auto body technology at the Auburn community college — one of three small trade programs administrators have put on the chopping block because of what could be a $4.4 million budget shortfall. A Royal Visit To Pacific Lutheran University By Paula Wissel • May 24, 2015 John Froschauer / PLU The Pacific Northwest has deep Norwegian roots and nowhere was that more evident than at Pacific Lutheran University on Saturday. His Majesty King Harald V of Norway came for a visit to the school that was founded 125 years ago by Norwegian immigrants. The King was in the Northwest to speak at PLU's Commencement ceremony in the Tacoma Dome, but made a quick trip to the university first, where he was welcomed by hundreds of students and and other well wishers from around the region. LISTEN: A sound portrait of HM King Harald V's visit: Listen Listening... / 1:54 Teachers March Through Seattle Streets As One-Day Strike Closes District Schools By Kyle Stokes • May 19, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:26 KPLU education reporter Kyle Stokes speaks with one teacher for whom the issue of pay is personal. Teacher union protests that have rolled through Washington school districts for nearly a month now reached a climactic moment Tuesday as thousands of Seattle teachers walked off the job for a one-day strike, leaving schools in the state's largest district closed. An estimated 4,000 teachers picketed at eight high schools in the morning before marching more than two miles through downtown Seattle in the afternoon, railing against legislative proposals they say leave them underpaid and overwhelmed in classrooms. Questions Of Legality Surround Washington Teacher Strikes By Kyle Stokes • May 18, 2015 Ted S. Warren / AP Photo Listen Listening... / 1:23 After expressing doubts about the legality of ongoing teacher walkouts, state Republican lawmakers have scheduled a hearing on a bill that would block the state from paying a striking teacher's salary or benefits during the strikes. Spokane Republican Sen. Michael Baumgartner in a statement said teachers are making political points with children bearing the cost. "These strikes use our children as a political football," said Baumgartner, one of the bill's sponsors. The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. Seattle's Later School Start Time Plan Gets A Wakeup Call By Kyle Stokes • May 13, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:57 A task force is getting ready to make a formal recommendation for whether Seattle Public Schools can shuffle their bell times to let middle- and high schoolers get more sleep — and if they can, present options on how to make the change. But some members of the task force aren't happy. Advocates who've pushed for years for earlier start times for secondary students say they're concerned district officials have taken the best plan off the table prematurely, and have instead been shopping inferior options around for public comment and review. State Lawmakers 'Behind' In Work To Solve Property Tax Problem In School Funding By Kyle Stokes • May 11, 2015 AP Images Listen Listening... / 1:24 For years — decades, even — problems with how local property taxes fund public schools have vexed Washington lawmakers. Now, they may have mere weeks to solve them. Lawmakers are still hashing out a property tax system overhaul that seeks to end school districts' reliance on local levies to pay expenses the state's supposed to cover. Coming up with a solution was a key demand of the state Supreme Court's McCleary decision. But lawmakers from both parties didn't file bills addressing the levy issue until mid-April. Kim Justice, senior budget analyst with the left-leaning Washington Budget and Policy Center, says they've been procrastinating. Teacher Walkouts, By The Numbers: 1 In 4 Washington Kids Now Impacted By Kyle Stokes • May 5, 2015 Ted S. Warren / AP Photo Listen Listening... / 1:19 Two weeks from now, a teacher walkout will have impacted one out of every four of Washington state's 1 million public school students. That's after Monday's confirmation teachers in Seattle Public Schools would join colleagues in 28 other districts in approving a "one-day strike" to protest state lawmakers' stances on several key education issues. Throwing Strikes: Unions Protest Teacher Pay Proposals As Lawmakers Open Special Session By Kyle Stokes • Apr 30, 2015 Ted S. Warren / AP Photo Listen Listening... / 1:25 On Wednesday, Sedro-Wooley teachers walked off the job for a day. On Thursday, Bainbridge Island and Burlington-Edison teachers plan to do the same. After that, seven more local teachers unions have approved similar "one-day strikes" as the Washington Legislature convenes a special session to finish a two-year state budget — a pocketbook issue for educators, who say neither political party's spending plans do enough to reverse six years of stagnant wages. Best Starts: A Local Levy That Promises To Invest In Kids By Jennifer Wing • Apr 28, 2015 Listen Listening... / 1:41 King County Executive Dow Constantine says if we invest in young children we can prevent them from ending up in jail and, in turn, save tax dollars. This is why he wants voters to approve a six-year levy to fund an initiative called Best Starts For Kids. Attorney General: Washington Lawmakers On Track To Complete School Funding Plan By Kyle Stokes • Apr 27, 2015 Though the Washington Legislature closed its regular session without reaching a budget, it remains on track to fulfill the state Supreme Court's schools funding mandate, the state's top lawyer said in a legal filing Monday. Attorney General Bob Ferguson, charged with defending state lawmakers in the ongoing McCleary case, wrote a progress report to the court saying spending proposals from both the state House and Senate include "historic" increases in K-12 education funding. Now all that's left, Ferguson argued, is to reach a deal in the special session which starts Wednesday. Judge: UW Trustees' Private Dinners Violated Open Meetings Laws By Kyle Stokes • Apr 24, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU For nearly three years, members of the University of Washington's top governing board regularly violated state public meetings laws by discussing official business during private dinners, a King County judge ruled Friday. The UW Board of Regents discussed official business during 24 of these "dinner meetings," held at the home of the school's president, between January 2012 and September 2014, according to an order from Superior Court Judge Laura Inveen. Seattle Teachers Union Leaders Recommend 'One-Day Strike' Over State Budget Battle By Kyle Stokes • Apr 21, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU Seattle teachers will decide whether they want to walk off the job for one day, likely in early May, to express frustration over the progress of state budget talks in Olympia. Building leaders for the Seattle Education Association, voted Monday night to recommend the union's 5,000 members join at least eight other local teachers unions in western Washington that have already approved similar "one-day strikes." Senator Murray: 'No Child Left Behind' Might Get Left Behind By Kyle Stokes • Apr 17, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:28 A U.S. Senate committee advanced a bill to re-write the federal No Child Left Behind Act this week, raising hopes that Congress may finally take action to officially scrap the law's tough, but outdated systems for holding schools across the nation accountable for students' success. The proposed "Every Child Achieves Act" shifts a lot of federal powers to education officials at the state level. Though national mandates to give students standardized tests every year would remain in place, states could decide for themselves how to use test results to rate schools and determine whether students are on-track for success in college or a career. Teachers Plan Walkouts To Protest State Budget; At Least Eight WA Districts Affected By Kyle Stokes • Apr 17, 2015 David Goldman / AP Photo Leaders of eight local teachers unions announced plans Friday to hold "one-day strikes" beginning next week in hopes to express frustrations with the progress of state budget talks in Olympia. Teachers in the Arlington, Lakewood and Stanwood-Camano districts will walk out on Wednesday, April 22, according to a press release from the Washington Education Association. On Friday, April 24, Ferndale and Bellingham teachers will do the same. Meet One Of The Seattle 'Smarter Balanced' Testing Boycott's Youngest Organizers By Kyle Stokes • Apr 17, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU Listen Listening... / 5:10 Late last year, Elijah Falk was just another eleventh grader at Seattle's Nathan Hale High School who had never heard of the Smarter Balanced Assessments. Then a friend told him all about it — that the test was more than eight hours long, required for every high school junior in Washington state but, in the end, mostly unnecessary to earn a diploma. Falk was shocked. "The huge amount of testing I've had to go through during my short time as a student— it's taking away from my time in the classroom," Falk said. "That kinda crosses a line where it's not helpful." Despite Consensus On Funding McCleary, State Schools Chief Pushing Lawmakers To Do More By Kyle Stokes • Apr 14, 2015 John Froschauer / AP Photo Listen Listening... / 1:26 For all the things that divide Washington state lawmakers' competing budget plans, K-12 education spending doesn't appear to be one of them. Budget proposals from Senate Republicans, House Democrats and from Gov. Jay Inslee have all called for between $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion in new schools spending to satisfy the Washington Supreme Court's McCleary funding decision. Why Would The Seattle School District Want To Authorize & Oversee Charter Schools? By Kyle Stokes • Apr 13, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:44 Seattle School Board president Sherry Carr would rather Washington had not entered the charter school game in the first place. But eventually, she says the state's largest district may have to decide whether it wants to play. Only one Washington school district, Spokane, currently decides whether to allow applicants to start charter schools within its boundaries and oversees their operations once they open; they're the state's only local "charter authorizer" — for now. Contract Negotiations Are Underway Between Student Workers And The University Of Washington By Jennifer Wing • Apr 13, 2015 Ted Warren / AP Images Listen Listening... / 1:11 Thousands of workers at the University of Washington who teach classes, grade papers and conduct scientific research are negotiating a new contract with the university. More Seattle High Schoolers Refusing To Take Required Tests, Forcing Garfield To Improvise By Kyle Stokes • Apr 7, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:25 This week, eleventh graders at Seattle's Garfield High School were supposed to start taking a state- and federally-required standardized test of their English skills. But more than 200 Garfield juniors, who don't need to pass the exams to graduate, are refusing to take Smarter Balanced assessments, forcing school administrators to postpone giving the exams until they could come up with a new testing schedule. 'This Is Our Moment': Early Learning Advocates Hoping For Big Year In Olympia By Kyle Stokes • Apr 6, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:20 State legislators are considering injecting "unprecedented" amounts of funding into Washington's early childhood education system, advocates say — but not without first raising the bar for child care providers. Push To Regain Washington State's No Child Left Behind Waiver Stalls In Committee By Kyle Stokes • Mar 27, 2015 Elaine Thompson / AP Photo A bid to get back Washington state's waiver from the No Child Left Behind law — and regain for school districts the flexibility to spend $40 million in federal funding that came with that waiver — appears to have hit a dead end in Olympia. Majority Democrats in the House Education Committee on Thursday blocked a procedural maneuver to force an up-or-down vote on a bill making changes to the state's teacher evaluation system in hopes of convincing federal education officials to give Washington its waiver back. Despite Earlier Promise To Boycott, Seattle High School Will Give Required Tests To Juniors By Kyle Stokes • Mar 26, 2015 Joe Wolf / Flickr Eleventh graders at Seattle's Nathan Hale High School will take a state- and federally-required standardized test after all, an apparent reversal of an earlier decision by staff, students and parents to boycott the exams this year. "The [Smarter Balanced assessment] is required by the state. Therefore, to comply with Seattle Public Schools directives, students will be tested" in April, Nathan Hale Senate chair Melinda Greene said in an email to parents Thursday. Bill Aimed At Regaining No Child Left Behind Waiver Will Get A Hearing In House Committee By Kyle Stokes • Mar 24, 2015 AP Listen Listening... / 1:10 A Washington State House committee will hear a bill requiring student scores on statewide standardized tests to play a role in teachers' evaluations next week, a member of the committee said Tuesday. But the proposal from Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, aimed at getting back the state's waiver from the federal No Child Left Behind law, has gotten a chilly reception among House lawmakers — and the bill's supporters fear they're running out of time. Idaho Lawmaker Says Teacher Incentive Bonus Plan Will Be 'Bitter Pill' By Jessica Robinson • Mar 19, 2015 Listen Listening... / An Idaho House committee introduced a revised plan for increasing teacher pay Wednesday. Asking Youth To Rise Above The Influence Of Drugs And Alcohol By Jennifer Wing • Mar 11, 2015 A new media campaign in the Seattle metro area called Rise Above The Influence is being called the first major youth drug prevention media campaign since the passage of I-502 back 2012, legalizing recreational marijuana. Billboards will appear in and around the city bearing the slogan, "Most Youth Rise Above The Influence." Young people are encouraged to participate in a contest by sending in a selfie showing how they lead a drug free life. Prizes include tickets to a Seahawks game. Would Feds Withhold Education Funding Over Seattle High School's Refusal To Test? By Kyle Stokes • Mar 11, 2015 Evan Vucci / AP Photo Listen Listening... / 1:25 The letter of the law is pretty clear, state schools superintendent Randy Dorn has warned. If teachers at Seattle's Nathan Hale High School follow through on their promise not to give their eleventh graders a federally-required standardized test, Dorn's office says federal education officials could cut off funding not only for Seattle Public Schools but even for schools across Washington state. But would the feds actually go so far? Some anti-testing advocates and policy experts doubt it. Amid Push For Alternatives, Judges Cling to Juvenile Detention For Truants By Austin Jenkins • Mar 6, 2015 Nationally, there's a push to outlaw incarceration of students for skipping school and other non-criminal behavior and use alternatives. But some judges are reluctant to give detention up. School districts in Washington are required to file a truancy petition with juvenile court when a student is chronically absent. Grays Harbor County Superior Court Judge David Edwards believes detention is one way to get a kid who's not following court orders back on track. 'I think you need a tune-up' Seattle's Preschool Program Is Starting To Take Shape With A Little Help From Boston By Jennifer Wing • Mar 4, 2015 Seattle Office for Education The universal preschool program Seattle voters said yes to last November is starting to take shape. As it works out the details, the City is getting a lot of advice from Boston. That city, which is home to world renowned universities, is also considered a national leader in early childhood education since it launched its preschool program in 2005. Jason Sachs, the Director of Early Childhood Education with Boston Public Schools, gave a presentation to Seattle City Council's education committee. Should Judges Lock Kids Up For Skipping School? By Austin Jenkins • Mar 4, 2015 Listen Listening... / Skipping school is not a crime in Washington state, but it can still land a student behind bars. Listen: What Can Happen When A Teacher Convinces Her Students To Be Brave By Kyle Stokes • Mar 2, 2015 Dean Rutz / The Seattle Times She may be an accomplished public speaker, but Bellevue teacher Kristin Leong says she's still "secretly super introverted." Getting comfortable with public performance, she tells her students, is about "faking it 'til you make it." But Leong says she starts every year in her middle school humanities classes at the International School in Bellevue with the same promise to her students: 'all of them will be performers this year.'

Wholesome blonde actor who played decorative romantic leads opposite comedians Bob Hope and Danny Kaye in several Sam Goldwyn Technicolor romps of the 1940s including "The Princess and the Pirate" (1944) and "Wonder Man" (1945). Goldwyn also tried her in his acclaimed, Oscar-winning study of the difficulties of veterans' postwar readjustment, "The Best Years of Our Lives" (1946), in which she showed a likeable toughness and ordinariness rather than the usual peaches and cream appeal. Mayo was later in a few creditable "straight" roles including, most memorably, a pair of fine, rough-edged films for director Raoul Walsh, "White Heat" and "Colorado Territory" (both 1949), which suggested a greater acting potential than had been seen to that point.

Krabi Activities
There are many places in the world where you can rock-climb, cycle, snorkel, kayak, ride ATV's, elephants, horses or go-karts, but, and it's a big but, there is nowhere in the world where you can do these things against a backdrop quite like Krabi.
There are also many attractions that you can view on our Krabi Attractions Page.
Take advantage of the rainy season to get to see Krabi without any crowds!
Krabi Attractions
Just about anywhere you find yourself in Krabi, you'll have a great view, but there are some simply special places that if you have the time, you really shouldn't miss.
There are also many activities that you can view on our Krabi Activities Page.
Just the feeling of being in Krabi is its main attraction. Although tourism is making its mark, with improved roads, new buildings and hotels popping up all over the place, it only takes a few minutes drive to get out into the countryside and see the outstanding beauty that the coastline and scenery has to offer. Even the drive from the airport to Aonang is along a stunning road that weaves through the mountains. You just cannot fail to be impressed. Combine this with some outstanding beaches that even in high season are uncrowded, mainland Krabi must be one of the most attractive destinations in the world.
The 4 Islands Vs The Hong Islands
Both sets of Islands are National Parks, they are both undeveloped and beautiful, both sets have clear water and soft sand beaches.

Bioluminescent Plankton
Bio-luminescent Plankton
Bio limuniscent plankton are present in the whole of the area of the Krabi Islands. They are small creatures that just float in the water, they cannot swim against the current so they are just washed around in the Ocean movements and tides. The faint light they produce is only visible at night on reasonably dark nights. When they are there, it is an impressive sight, just lie in the water and move around and the water around you will just glow and sparkle. It's a slightly tingly sensation.
This phenomenon occurs only when the conditions are just right and its impossible to predict whether or not you will see them.
Trips we offer where you might get to see them are the 4 Island sunset tour and the 4 Island longtail Charter with sunset on Poda Island.

Krabi Rainy Season 2016
Krabi Rainy season was a bit late arriving in 2016 with almost no rain from January right through to early May. Krabi Rainy season officially ends at the end of October, but realistically, it can rain on any day of the year, just the likelihood goes down after November.
We can now expect the normal rainy season mix of heavy rain storms and strong sun. It's amazing how quickly it changes from torrential rainfall to bright sunshine. The mountains on the coast do make rain showers very local, sometimes it can be raining heavily in one area but bright sunshine just a few hundred meters away.
If you have booked a tour and it is cancelled due to the weather then we will refund or change to a different day. Not many tours are cancelled though even when raining heavily in the morning at the pickup time, often the showers are very local and short lasting.
Sea tours usually go ahead if its raining in Aonang as the weather is very often much clearer out at the Islands.
Longterm and even short term forecasts are not very accurate, so, its best to just be prepared for everything, have a raincoat and your suntan lotion with you at all times. Most convenience shops like 7-11 sell very cheap plastic rain coats which are idea, they pack up very small and do a great job of keeping you dry in even the heaviest shower, ok, they aren't the most fashionable items, but in a heavy rain shower you will be very happy you have one.
2015 - 2016 High Season in Krabi
High season in Krabi is from about the middle of October until the end of March with the real peak time being middle of December to middle of January.
During high season, Krabi can get very busy with most of the hotels full and most of the tours and activities booked almost to capacity. Although this does mean that everywhere is busy and on many days the beaches will be relatively crowded, its usual for the weather to be great every day, so, as long as you don't mind sharing the beaches and activities, then its still a great time to come. Unfortunately, we cannot control how busy places get though.

Food and Restaurants in Krabi
The world has had a love affair with Thai food for many years now, and Krabi enjoys some of the best of it.
We've recently visited Ruan Mai, the Khanom Jean shop and the Frog and Catfish. All very enjoyable but in very different styles. Another great restuarant is Suan Kluey Mai, a lovely place by a small river, kids can even go for a cooling dip.
Check out our Krabi Restaurants page. Or, why not take a Thai cooking class and learn to make delicious Thai food yourself. Have a look at our Thai cooking courses.
Top Ten Things to do in Krabi
This is a list of our favorite things to do in Krabi and Aonang. Many of these are the free simple things that anyone can do with no advance booking or cost.
Island Hopping, Exploring, Temples, markets and restaurants are all on our top ten list of things to do in Krabi.
Some people prefer organized group trips, some prefer to be more private, and budgets can be big or small. It doesn't really matter in Krabi though, whatever your budget or taste you are sure to find something that will make your trip really memorable.
You might not be able to jet ski or parasail in Krabi or get a ride on a banana boat, but there are all sorts of things to do in Krabi. What makes Krabi and Ao Nang really special is the countryside around it. It really does only take a few minutes to get out of the touristy town areas into the gorgeous mountain dominated countryside around it. Rent a bike, a car or catch a songthaew (what goes for public buses in this area) and soon you'll be confronted with endless beautiful scenery.Kids love Krabi, clean air, beautful wildlife and, of course, amazing beaches make it a real paradise for kids. If you are looking for nightlife, then perhaps there are better places, but for everyone lookingto see Thailand at its best, then Krabi really is difficult to beat.
A few of the activities are not for younger kids but most things are, if you have any questions, just ask.
All these things to do can be done on any day of the year. Some can even be more enjoyable in the rainy season you just have to be prepared and flexible.
At Krabitrek we try to inspect all the tours and attractions regularly to ensure that our descriptions are up to date and accurate. We use reliable operators and listen to any feedback and just try to offer the sort of service we would want if we were visiting.

Firewood caution
With the 2013 detection of the highly destructive emerald ash borer in the City of Boulder and ongoing bark beetle epidemics in the state's mountain forests, the Colorado State Forest Service warns about the risks associated with moving firewood. The transportation of firewood is a common cause for the accidental introduction of harmful tree insects and diseases to new areas. Insects, fungi and diseases can hitch a ride on cut wood — from both living and dead trees — and are often hidden away under the bark.
The state forest service offers the following firewood tips to help Coloradans protect their trees:
» Always try to burn firewood where you buy or cut it. Leave behind whatever wood you don't burn.
» Don't bring wood into Colorado from other states, and ask firewood dealers about the origin of the wood prior to purchase.
» Buy from a local vendor when you're using a bundle for camping firewood. The best option is wood labeled with the Colorado Forest Products logo; at least 50 percent of this wood is certified to be from Colorado forests, and more than 65 vendors around the state participate in this program.
For more information about insects and disease that threaten Colorado trees, see the 2013 Colorado Forest Insect and Disease Update at http://csfs.colostate.edu/pdfs/2013FHR-InsectDiseaseUpdate.pdf. Additional tips on how to prevent the spread of EAB in Colorado are available at www.eabcolorado.com.
Waltz for the wolves
The W.O.L.F. Sanctuary will host its 10th Anniversary Celebration, Waltz for the Wolves, from 5-9 p.m. June 14 at The Ranch Events Center.
The gala will feature live music, a gourmet dinner, auction items and a visit from the wolves themselves.
The gala will not only help fund the day-to-day operations of caring for the wolves and wolf hybrids, but also it will help pay for its move. Fires and floods damaged the land surrounding the current location in LaPorte. The move may also help W.O.L.F. to rescue even more animals.
Go to www.wolfsanctuary.net or call (970) 416-9531 for tickets.
