Although heli-skiing in North America dates back to the 1960's, it wasn't until Alaska burst onto the scene in the 1990's when skiers and riders became fixated on the dream to heli-ski. Heli-skiing and more specifically the idea of of heli-skiing are now engrained in ski culture. We're hooked on the idea of accessing what we believe could be the run of our lives. Heli or no heli, that's the ticket; the feeling of the best run of your life.
But the reality of the matter is that heli-skiing is not cheap. Sure, it can be done on a dirt bag's dime at some operations, but for most of us, putting in the time and effort isn't realistic. So if you're not able to go heli-skiing this year, why not take a trip to a ski town that offers the chance to get the equivalent of a heli-run-steep lines, limited crowds, and most importantly, untouched snow- every day there's fresh snow.
Here's a breakdown of three places you can do just that. Each area has a unique lift, a varying amount of skiable terrain and vertical, and a thirsty group of hard core locals who wait patiently hours before the lift opens to make sure they get an untracked run each powder day—what they deem as the "free" heli-runs they get with each season pass purchase.

Storms take a bite out of GMP's budgetBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | July 15,2013The summer is far from over, but recent storms coupled with Hurricane Sandy last year have already put a hole in Green Mountain Powers storm recovery budget.
GMP budgeted $7.2 million (based on a five-year average) for storm restoration work, but has already spent $11 million.
GMP spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said the company anticipates more storms and more outages before the year is out.
Schnure said the last two years in particular have seen more than the usual number of storms and outages.
Over the 30 some years Ive been here theres all sorts of weather variations but were all remarking that this feels fairly unusual, she said.
There have been three major storms dating to October 2012, the start of GMPs fiscal year.
First there was Hurricane Sandy, followed by a severe windstorm in December 2012.
Then June came along with a major storm causing outages in the St. Johnsbury and Danville areas.
But the month of June and early July had more in store for the company and its customers.
According to Schnure, for the two-week period June 23 through July 6, there were 90,000 outages triple the average number of outages during a typical two-week period in June or July.
The storms were statewide but the company said the most severe problems were concentrated in Chittenden County and the Rutland, Montpelier and Royalton areas.
For the week ending June 29, GMP had 48,181 outages, with the average outage lasting 2.05 hours.
One of things we found interesting too is ... in one weeks time we had as many outages as we had in Sandy, Schnure said. Its just spread over the week so its constant, which is tough for the customers as well as for us.
For the week ending July 6, there were 42,479 outages, which was more than the Dec. 21, 2012, windstorm, when 31,700 customers lost power. The average outage lasted 1.73 hours.
Schnure said the installation of smart grid technology has allowed the company to pinpoint outages more precisely and restore power more quickly.
GMPs 140 line workers have been augmented by some contract electric crews. On any given day, the company also employed approximately 70, two-person tree trimming crews, from six different companies.
If storm recovery expenses during the fiscal year go over budget, Schnure said for outages caused by major storms, the company absorbs the first $1.2 million of the excess cost with the balance collectible in rates. If, however, the company spends over budget and the outages are caused by what are considered normal weather events, she said the company absorbs the excess costs.
She said a major storm is defined as 10 percent of customers affected at some point during the event and at least 1 percent are out of power for a 24-hour period.
As far as the major culprit, lightning was the primary cause of recent outages followed by trees and branches falling from outside GMPs rights-of-way.
The company noted that ground saturation is causing trees to tip over at a much higher frequency.
In terms of prevention, Schnure said the company will install more lightning protection equipment and will continue to look at the location of power lines, including off-road line locations, the types of wire used, and tree trimming practices.

NGC 6240 is a peculiar, butterfly- or lobster-shaped galaxy consisting of two smaller merging galaxies. It lies in the constellation of Ophiuchus, the Serpent Holder, some 400 million light-years away. Observations with NASA s Chandra X-ray Observatory have disclosed two giant black holes, about 3,000 light-years apart, which will drift toward one another and eventually merge together into a larger black hole. The merging process, which began about 30 million years ago, triggered dramatic star formation and sparked numerous supernova explosions. The merger will be complete in some tens to hundreds of millions of years.
This image is part of a large collection of 59 images of merging galaxies taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and released on the occasion of its 18th anniversary on 24th April 2008.

A day for communityMarch 05,2013
There is more to town meeting than what appears on the warning.
Year by year the warning of a town serves as a kind of barometer of the towns weather. There are those stormy days when our town warnings contain small typhoons of controversy embedded in personal animosity and differences of outlook going back for years. And there are sunny days when storm clouds are absent, the budgets are balanced and people are interested mainly in the apple pie.
The broader world is an overlay of the local weather. It often happens that controversy, national or international, sweeps in as on a jet stream and captures the imagination of townspeople. If they gather enough signatures on a petition, they can have an article placed on the warning to tell the world what their little town thinks about a given issue.
In years past, Vermonters have weighed in on everything from a nuclear weapons freeze to war in El Salvador. This year some Vermonters will be asked what they think about a pipeline in northern Vermont that may be employed to transport oil squeezed from the tar sands of Alberta. A lot of people think the tar sands should be let alone, but others understand that the oil is going to be exploited and blocking its transport is an exercise in futility.
The underlying question: Should we make the exploitation of oil more expensive through obstructionism or less expensive so Canadian oil can replace Arabian or Venezuelan oil? The larger issue is climate change, about which Vermonters received a harsh lesson two years ago from Tropical Storm Irene.
Apart from airing the particular issues of individual towns, town meeting serves to validate the daily functioning of democracy in Vermont. Our town reports show the work of select boards, auditors, planning commissions, treasurers, clerks, school boards, principals all the people at the grass-roots level who do the work of democratic self-governance. Most townspeople are probably happy not to have to delve too deeply into the details of town finance, trusting that our town officials know what they are doing. But if there are questions, the town business is offered in detail for our scrutiny, and town officials are accountable to the voters.
In the history of any town, there are periods of harmony and of dissonance. Sometimes, town leaders find they are out of sync with the voters, or voters experience frustration with town officials whom they believe to be out of touch. These undercurrents often spring forth at town meeting, and thats a good thing. Townspeople have to learn to work out their conflicts within the context of our democratic processes, and sometimes it is messy. Hard feelings are not unknown at town meeting.
But thats all part of the drama of human life lived in small towns where we have no one to blame but ourselves (or our neighbors) and no one to turn to but ourselves (or our neighbors) to fix our problems.
Usually, problems can be fixed more easily than we might have expected once people realize that respect, even for the person who more or less drives you crazy, is the essential ingredient of democracy, local or national. After all, town meeting is guided by a time-tested array of rules designed to restrain our selfish impulses and guide us toward resolution achieved by allowing everyone a say.
The rules of town meeting are the machinery of democracy, and everyone is subject to them. They require respect for the process and respect for fellow citizens, even if you dont feel exactly respectful.
Even if your town is having one of those boring years with no great battles, no looming crisis the methodical unfolding of democracy serves to remind us that in a nation of individuals we are part of a community. This is the day we celebrate our communities by enacting their most enduring rites.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Another Battle in the Gulf
In a further sign that international diplomacy involves about as much maturity as A-Rod running the bases, the upcoming Islamic Games were canceled in a row over the correct name of the Persian….I mean the Arabian……I mean the Gulf. Sure, they may say that it was about health concerns, mainly Swine Flu, but make no mistake. This was all about the name of that infamous body of water between Iran and the Arabian peninsula.
You want context? Think about what would happen if the delightful residents of Chicago decided to start referring to Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois. Yeah, that just wouldn't fly. Besides, everyone knows that Illinois is just a third-rate state that only pretends to be American. It only makes sense that the lake is named after the the obviously superior State of Michigan. In fact, that's the reason why Lake Superior is so aptly named; it's in the superior state of Michigan.
Now, if you think the preceding paragraph presents a clear and coherent viewpoint, congratulations! You just might have what it takes to be a diplomat! However, if you think it sounds absolutely ridiculous then I'll present you with one more possible solution. We send Jose Offerman into the next meeting of the Islamic Games' governing council and let him settle things the way that only he can.
10 Comments
It is a matter of semantics!
Gentlemen – congrats on having the #2 ranked blog for all of 2009!
Congratulations on your #2 ranking on the leader board. You have a wonderful, thought provoking blog!
The Gulf dispute reminds me of the New York Jets and Giants dispute…both of whom play in NJ. :O)
One of things I love about this blog is the deft and often poetic ways the two of you find to razz each other…paragraph 2 = masterpiece.
Lake Superior – ROFLMAO!
Bravo, Sir Allen, bravo!
Great idea about sending Offerman in to settle the dispute. Maybe you can round up Campy Campaneris too, wherever he is.
Crazy little dispute. Good idea about Offerman…send him there, he'll knock around some ideas…haha.
So, there's a diplomatic "gulf" between two Islamic states….. about an ACTUAL gulf between two Islamic states?!?! Oy vey.

Editor's Note: This is part two of a two-part series on Jakarta Struts 1.1. The first part is available here. Portions of this article are excerpted from Sue Spielman's book, The Struts Framework: Practical Guide for Java Programmers (Morgan-Kaufmann), one of the first books on the market covering Struts 1.1 in detail. You can reach Sue at .
The whole point of having nested tags is that the tags can relate to each other and describe the structure of the model they're managing. The assumptions made by the tags simplify the necessary coding. Struts 1.0 developers can heave a sigh of relief knowing that they won't have to mangle code any longer to render a display of a list within a list.
The Struts nested tag library was introduced in Struts 1.1. Almost all of the tags in this library extend the base Struts tags that we've already talked about. This includes tags from the
Html and
Logic libraries, except they are prefixed with a nested namespace. So, for example, if we are nesting an
<html:link> tag, we would use
<nested:link> instead. There are also tags new to the nested tag library. The new tags include
<nested:root> and
<nested:nest>. The
<nested:root> tag is used to indicate that you are starting a nested scope. This tag is used if
<html:form> is not being used. The
<html:form> (for backwards compatibility) or
<nested:form> tags will automatically start a scope for you.
The difference between using non-nested tags as opposed to those from the nested library is that using the nested version allows the tags to relate to each other in a nested hierarchy. The fundamental logic of the original tags doesn't change, except that all references to beans and bean properties will be managed in a nested context using the dot notation that we have already seen when using properties. When building complex pages, it is highly likely that you will want to use the nested features. This makes pages much easier to write and maintain, since it allows for the logical flow to be maintained without having to do work-arounds, as was required before the 1.1 release.

Programming Jakarta Struts
The Validator framework is now part of the Struts package structure and can be found in
org.apache.struts.validator. Why use the Validator framework? Validator makes life a bit easier when you have to deal with required fields; determining matches to a regular expression; email, credit card, and date validation; and server-side type checking.
This framework is based on the Commons Validator that can be found at jakarta.apache.org/commons.
The purpose is to perform server-side validations based on validation rules located in validation.xml. It is possible to add custom validations to this file. Rules can be defined for different locales. It's possible to store your specific Validator rules in a separate file. This is accomplished by setting the
config-rules parameter in the
ValidatorServlet contained in the web.xml file. The standard file is available in the Struts dist directory and is called validator-rules.xml.
Using this framework requires adding the
ValidatorServlet to your web.xml file with its appropriate configuration parameters and then extending
org.apache.struts.validator.action.ValidatorForm instead of
Validator is the first component to implement the new
PlugIn interface in Struts 1.1, which we'll talk about next.
You can also add pluggable Validators by adding a validation method signature to your
ValidatorAction class. For more details, see the
org.apache.struts.validator.util.StrutsValidator class.
A new feature of Struts 1.1 is the ablity to define a
PlugIn. A
PlugIn is a configuration wrapper for an application-specific module or service that must be notified about application startup and application shutdown events. These events correspond to the container calls
init() and
destroy() on the corresponding
ActionServlet instance, which allows a module to be called without the need to subclass
ActionServlet for simple
Servlet lifecycle activities.
PlugIn modules can be configured in the struts-config.xml file, using the
<plug-in> element. Classes that implement the
PlugIn interface must supply a zero-argument constructor for use by
ActionServlet. Configuration can be accomplished by providing standard
JavaBeans property setter methods that will all have been called before the
init() method was invoked. An instance of the specified class is created for each element, and can be configured with nested
set-property elements. For example, in struts-config.xml we might have the last entry defined as:
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.action.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathname" value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml"/>
<set-property property="pathname" value="/WEB-INF/validation.xml"/>
This means that two instances of the
ValidatorPlugIn will be created, each setting the property pathname to the appropriate value. By supporting the
init() and
destroy() methods of
PlugIn, the
ValidatorPlugin is notified about application startup and shutdown events without having to be concerned with extending
ActionServlet code.
PlugIns are configured in the struts-config.xml file by setting the
plug-in element.
Declarative exception handling allows for Actions to propagate exceptions. This feature is the very reason that the
perform() method signature changed from throwing
IOException and
ServletException to just
Exception. This is also why we see the
execute() method of an Action called by the
ActionServlet. One reason for going this route is so your Actions don't have to think about each and every exception that might be thrown from your business logic. It also allows exceptions to be configured within the struts-config.xml file.
Declarative exception handling is accomplished in two ways. One is by configuring
<global-exceptions> in the struts-config.xml file. The other is by using the
exception element of
<action>, which describes a mapping of an exception that may occur during Action delegation.
The way that the exceptions are declared is very similar to the way that
<global-forwards> and
<forwards> are declared. A
<global-exceptions> configures the global handling of exceptions thrown by Actions to mappable resources using an application-relative URI path. This can be a specific page designed to handle this exception.
It is also possible to override an exception handler declared in the global setting by using the exception element in the action, which uses the same type attribute as defined in the global setting. You can specify the
className attribute, which indicates the implementation subclass of the standard configuration bean. The default class is:
The handler attribute is the fully-qualified Java class name of the exception handler that should handle this exception. The default is
key attribute is the message resources key specifying the error message associated with this exception. This is helpful in keeping your errors friendly when your application is internationalized.
path attribute is the application-relative path of the resource to forward to if this exception occurs. The
scope attribute can be set to either
request or
session, and indicates where the
ActionError will be made available. Last but not least is the
type attribute. This is the fully-qualified Java class name of the exception to be handled. (What a mouthful.) Here's a sample:
In struts-config.xml, we first declare our
<global-exceptions> in the following format:
<exception key="error.required" type="org.apache.struts.util.AppException"
Here we are declaring that any Action (or business logic) that throws the
AppException will be sent to appError.jsp. We are associating the
error.required message string from our
ApplicationResource file with this exception. The
ApplicationResource file is discussed in detail in Chapter Nine of my book, The Struts Framework: Practical Guide for Java Programmers (2002, Morgan-Kaufman), when we talk about internationalization. If you view the mainMenu.jsp file in our sample application, there is a link to force an application exception. This makes it easier for you to quickly force an error exception and to follow the flow in the ForceErrorAction.java file. You can add as many
<exception> elements to the
<global-exceptions> as you like.
Next we'll look at a specific Action exception declaration.
<action path="/insert"
In this case, we are declaring that if the
InsertAction (or business logic used by the
InsertAction) throws the application-specific exception
MissingValueException, then send the exception to insertError.jsp. Note that in this example, we have defined a specific application exception. This is helpful if you want to wrap other, less helpful exceptions. For example, you might want to catch
SQLExceptions and re-throw them as application-specific exceptions with a more meaningful message to the user.
It is also worth pointing out that matching exceptions to exception handlers takes inheritance into account (i.e., you can declare a handler for a superclass and handle all of the exceptions for subclasses of that exception class as well.) The matching algorithm works identically to the one used by the servlet container to select
<error-page> matches for exceptions.
If you are upgrading an existing Struts application to v1.1, you should not have that many worries. The development team did a very good job of keeping Struts backwards-compatible. For all intents and purposes, you should have little trouble upgrading to v1.1. While each application is different, here are some general rules of thumb to use when evaluating your application.

JavaServer Pages
Many of the Struts
util packages have been moved to Jakarta Commons, so you may need to adjust some package names in your code. This should be as simple as a global find and replace.
In order for this sub-app feature to work, any request for a presentation page that uses elements from the configuration file, including
Forwards, and
Action Mappings, must be routed through the controller. This allows the controller to make the appropriate configuration available for a given page. Having requests pass through the controller is not new to Struts 1.1. While it might have been possible to bypass this by having direct linking to pages, it is good design practice to make sure everything flows through the controller. When using the MVC model, this is the way it should be, anyway. Many other features in advanced applications, including security and logging, are easier to implement when everything passes through the controller.
In Struts 1.x,
Action.perform() is the method called by the
ActionServlet. This is typically where your business logic resides, or at least the flow control to your JavaBeans and EJBs that handle your business logic. As we already mentioned, to support declarative exception handling, the method signature changed in
perform. Now
execute just throws
Action.perform() is now deprecated; however, the Struts v1.1
ActionServlet is smart enough to know whether or not it should call
perform or
execute in the Action, depending on which one is available.
If you are building with ANT, you might need to adjust your build.xml to include the Jakarta Commons library files. To make sure you don't run into classloader issues, check the
struts-user mailing list if your container is having problems.
I've taken Struts v1.x applications and run them within minutes on Struts v1.1. However, there are a couple of things that you should be aware of if you've taken advantange of some of the more advanced features. For example, the
ApplicationConfig object is used now to handle Servlet context attributes per sub-application. This means that if you are using information from any of the various objects in Struts that handle your application collections, like
ActionForwards, or
ActionMappings, you'll need to reference them through
ApplicationConfig. Also, if you have done any
ActionServlet-specific work for your
ActionServlet, you might want to take a look at the changes that have taken place regarding the
RequestProcessor class.
Struts v1.1 offers us some new and exciting features for Web application development. You should be able to start taking advantage of them as soon as you're done with this article.

Col. James Holland, director of the Air Force BRAC Program Management Office in Washington D.C., speaks about the possible options for Cannon Air Force Base on Thursday during an interview at the base. (Staff photo: Eric Kluth)
By Marlena Hartz: CNJ staff writer
A glossy brochure peddling the assets of Cannon Air Force Base was issued to government agencies Thursday, according to the office of Sen. Pete Domenici, R.-N.M.
The release marks the midway point in the search to find a new mission for Cannon.
It is the fourth step in an eight-step process set forth by the Air Force Base Realignment and Closure Program Management Office. That process is outlined in a fact sheet that accompanies the folding brochure.
Also distributed to federal agencies Thursday were directions for expressing interest in occupying a space at Cannon. Eligible agencies should "submit a letter of interest to BRAC Program Management Office," which indicates the type of use and amount of property desired, the directions state.
The release of the materials coincided with a visit to Cannon Air Force Base by Col. James Holland, director of the Air Force BRAC Program Management Office.
"What (the brochure) will do (for government agencies) is answer a lot of questions about the capabilities of the base right off the bat," said Holland, who toured Cannon and Melrose Bombing Range on Thursday and planned to meet with community leaders before his return to the Pentagon early today.
"We want to make sure we find the right reuse for Cannon," said Holland, whose visit followed an earlier visit by his supervisor, the secretary of the Air Force for installations, environment, and logistics.
If a mission is not found, the base will be closed by 2010. Though Air Force officials have said that no units or aircrafts will be transferred from Cannon in 2006, a federal commission did promise Cannon's F-16s to various installations across the country.
Multiple parties have already expressed interest in Cannon in the form of visits to the sprawling, High Plains installation, according to local base advocates. That includes two recent visits by Air Force special operations officials. However, Holland said his office has yet to narrow down a list of potential Cannon occupants.
"We are very early in this process," he said.
The stream of visiting officials at Cannon will probably march on into the summer. Holland said a new mission for Cannon could be announced then. Even if a suitable mission was found sooner, Holland said he was not sure the Pentagon would let the public know, depending on the type of mission identified.
According to the fact sheet, once information about Cannon Air Force Base is distributed to "other military services, federal agencies, and to the public through selected direct mail, Web page and other methods," the Pentagon will "conduct informational workshops in Washington, D.C.( in March) and at Cannon (from April through mid-May) for interested parties and potential bidders."
Holland said there is a "distinct possibility Cannon may grow," but he would not rule out the possibility of the base shrinking or closing.
A spokesperson from Domenici's office said the senator was pleased with the brochure and remains optimistic a military mission will be identified for Cannon. A joint press release from the offices of Domenici and Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., emphasized that finding a new mission for Cannon is a process.
"The solicitation of all federal agencies has always been a part of the Pentagon's post-BRAC plan for Cannon," Bingaman said in the release. "By scheduling these workshops, the Pentagon is fulfilling all the requirements that need to be met before it can finalize plans for Cannon's future."

Eric Knox was a fourth grader growing up on Chicago's West Side in the late 1980s the day some North Central College students showed up at his school. The students were there to tutor pupils at James Weldon Johnson Elementary School in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood.
Knox was fortunate to be involved in the inception of North Central College's Junior/Senior Scholars program, which changed his life and the lives of hundreds of other youngsters. "It started a lot of ideas about future thinking for us," says Knox, a single parent who will graduate from North Central College in June 2009 with a degree in organizational communication and broadcast communication. "North Central College gave us a positive outlook on our futures. It gave us hope and inspiration to be whatever we wanted to be."
Now 20 years after its launch, Junior/Senior Scholars has evolved into a multi-faceted program for 400 pupils in grades K-12, who benefit from tutoring, study groups, weekend retreats, work internships, an academic summer camp and events for their family members. North Central College students work with the scholars as tutors, summer teachers and role models and, along the way, learn their own lessons about how they can impact the lives of youngsters from high-need schools.
"We have many students who come to North Central to make a difference in someone's life," says Jan Fitzsimmons, director of the Junior/Senior Scholars program. "They make a difference just through the relationships they build with these children."
The seeds for the program were planted in 1988 when an Amoco Research Center initiative designed to get elementary school students excited about math and science resulted in a three-week summer camp for 30 pupils from North Lawndale in Chicago. Over the years, North Central expanded the program into a year-round effort that also included pupils from Oak Park Elementary School in the East Aurora School District. Later, schools like North Lawndale Preparatory School in Chicago, Cowherd Middle School and East Aurora High School in Aurora were added since the goal is to maintain contact with participants from age five all the way through high school.
Now with a budget of $200,000 and more than a dozen corporate sponsors, the program has inspired a generation of kids from Chicago and Aurora public schools to think about going to college, and many of them are. The successful scholars are disciplined, self-motivated individuals. During the summer, they must be able to rise early and get on a bus by 7:30 a.m. as North Central transports the children from Chicago and Aurora to campus for a full-day summer school. The academic portion of the six-week summer program is complemented with social and recreational components, such as swimming and field trips.
Each year, nearly 200 North Central students participate as academic tutors and as summer teachers. During the school year, they tutor at the elementary schools in Chicago and Aurora, while other students meet with the middle and high schools pupils who are transported to campus once a week.
"This program brings our students in touch with very diverse student populations, in terms of race, culture and economics," Fitzsimmons says. "I don't think you come to college realizing how you can impacted someone's life and make their life better just by being there for them."
Students like Jill Bushman '10 say the program dramatically impact her views on education and influenced her career goals. "It's changed my life," says Bushman, of Dixon, IL.
Cherrelle Blevins '09 also wants to work in a high-needs school. In addition to teaching music for the summer program—her drum line with buckets was especially popular—she is the coordinator for the Junior/Senior Scholars middle school program on campus. Blevins has already completed her student-teaching in K-12 music education at Jones College Preparatory High School in Chicago and at O.C. Allen Elementary School in the East Aurora School District. "Kids are kids, they all want the same things, they all need the same things," she says. "This program continually confirmed for me why I want to teach."
"What started out as a typical tutoring program has grown into a partnership," says Robin Hedrich, principal of Oak Park Elementary School in the East Aurora School District. "Jan [Fitzsimmons] is instrumental in keeping things going. It's really crucial that up-and-coming teachers see that they have to make that connection with schools and parents."
As a successful model for serving high-need schools and exposing future teachers to inner-city education, the program in 2003 was named an Exemplary Practice in Higher Education by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.
The success of the Junior/Senior Scholars program then led to the Pipeline to Urban Teaching, designed to increase the number of educators committed to working with high-need students.
"Through the Urban Pipeline program, all Education 100 students now get a clinical experience through Junior/Senior Scholars," Fitzsimmons says. "They're not just observers, but active participants … They learn about the culture, about economics and politics, see inequalities and learn more about social justice. As they get to know the schools and neighborhoods, we see huge changes in their perceptions about these communities."
What makes Junior/Senior Scholars such a dynamic program, able to transform lives of teachers and students alike? Participants say it's because of the connections developed between the pupils and educators who become actively involved in trying to improve the lives of their charges.
Programs like Junior/Senior Scholars reveal that "teacher educators can be powerful agents of change and not merely passive residents of an ivory tower," Fitzsimmons wrote in a September 2008 progress briefing, "Transformative Partnerships, Authentic Change," for The Associated Colleges of Illinois (ACI) Center for Success in High-Need Schools, of which she is the director.
"When teacher candidates benefit from hands-on experience in high-need schools, and when they complete coursework that introduces them to the history, sociology and psychology of high-need communities, their preference for teaching in schools serving these communities rises significantly," Fitzsimmons wrote.
That sentiment is reinforced by past participants of Junior/Senior Scholars, like Joanna Novarra '03, who teaches at Sherman School of Excellence in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood (see sidebar on page 15). "I've taught in Naperville, and I've taught in Aurora, but I've never had more fun than here because the kids need you," Novarra says. "(Junior/Senior Scholars) dispels misperceptions that Chicago Public Schools are bad and prepares you for the realities of teaching … It puts you in the trenches, so to speak."
Amber West '06, now teaching a bilingual classroom in John R. Tibbott Elementary School in Bolingbrook, also found her calling as a tutor and teacher for Junior/Senior Scholars. "I'd never heard of bilingual education until I started working in the program," she says. "Then I decided to double-major in Spanish and elementary education."
It's a win-win for everyone involved, including the young scholars. In 2007, 90 percent of the graduating seniors in the program enrolled in college immediately following high school, according to an independent evaluator. More than 140 scholars involved in the program have gone on to attend college.
And Eric Knox, one of the inaugural "junior" scholars of the program, is preparing to graduate from North Central College.
"They were the kind of teachers who were all eyes upon us. I still remember my mentors to this day. I plan to send them invitations to my graduation," Knox says.

- Abstract
- The parametric down conversion of photons generated in a non-linear crystal gives rise to two correlated photons. When associated with a system of coincidence counting, this phenomenon allows one to measure the quantum efficiencies of detectors working at a normal rate of photon counting, without the need for reference sources or detectors. At the Institut National de Métrologie (INM) (France), this method was implemented with the aim of developing a new standard detector for the absolute measurement of very weak radiation. The validation of this method is presented from an international comparison between the laboratories of the INM (France) and the Istituto Elettrotecnico Nazionale Galileo Ferraris (IENGF) (Italy) and from a comparison of methods at INM using the French national standard detector, the cryogenic radiometer.

I exclusively breast feed my son when I'm at home and while he's at daycare he gets expressed breast milk. My sitter noticed this week that my some of my milk is starting to smell 'spoiled' and that my son won't drink it. I'm not sure why this is happening since he always gets fresh milk. I pump at work and keep the milk in a refrigerator. I started doing a smell test when I prepare his bottles and this morning one that I pumped yesterday smelled yucky and the one smelled off (not yucky but off).
Has this happened to anyone?
Sometimes, I have a cappuccino in the morning or a decaf coffee (just started this a week or so a go), the only other changes is, i don't clean my parts after every pumping session (i pump every 3 hours at work). I just rinse them and put them in my cooler in the fridge.
Could any of this be effecting it?? suggestions?

HIKE Scenario 04-08: Cattle in Chute and Drive Alley
You are the IIC in a small cattle slaughter and processing operation. While you are performing ante mortem inspection, you decide to verify that animals are treated humanely (under Category IV of the Humane-handling Activities Tracking System (HATS) as per instruction in FSIS Notice 16-08). Upon completion, you also decide to verify that the establishment has made water accessible to cattle in holding pens (HATS category III).
|The Humane Methods of Livestock Slaughter Act of 1978 [7 USC 1901 1906] states that the handling and slaughtering of livestock are to be carried out only by humane methods. The Federal Meat Inspection Act [21 USC 601 et seq.] authorizes Federal Meat Inspectors to inspect, verify compliance, and enforce humane methods of handling and slaughtering of livestock so as to prevent needless suffering of animals. FSIS personnel verify that an establishment is meeting these requirements by performing procedure 04C02 daily and recording the results on the procedure schedule for each inspection shift. They also should record the time spent verifying human handling and slaughter activities in the Humane-handling Activities Tracking System (HATS).
The following references should be used when studying this HIKE:
You know that the regulations require that animals have access to water in the holding pens. Specifically, 9 CFR 313.2(e) states, "Animals shall have access to water in all holding pens and, if held longer than 24 hours, access to feed. There shall be sufficient room in the holding pen for animals held overnight to lie down." In addition, you realize that
makes a distinction between pens, driveways, and ramps.
You observe cattle in all the holding pens and verify that they have access to water in all pens. However, at 12:24 PM, toward the end of the lunch period, you observe that cattle are in the drive alley and in the single file chute that leads to the knock box. You determine that these cattle have been in the drive alley and single file chute since 12:00 PM, and you know that water is not accessible to cattle in these areas. However, the drive alley and single file chute are under cover, and you observe that cattle are not crowded, they show no signs of stress or discomfort, and the temperature is 70° F.
You are aware that the establishment has developed a written program, using the systematic approach, for humanely handling and slaughtering cattle. This program describes how the establishment will handle cattle during lunch and break periods. The procedure is that during a break (or the lunch period), if there are cattle in the drive alley or single file chute, they will be adequately spaced to avoid any discomfort, stress, or injury. However, if the establishment encounters an extended delay more than an hour in the slaughter operation, the establishment's handling procedures change. The handling procedure then directs that establishment employees provide the cattle with water in the single file chute and the drive alley or move them to the holding pens with a minimum of excitement and discomfort to the animals.
Establishments may include in their procedures for humane handling a period of time after which water will be provided to animals being held in the drive alley or single file chute. In the absence of a specified period, you need to consider whether the establishment considers relevant factors in deciding whether to give animals water. Some of these factors include amount of time in the chute or alley, whether the animals are adequately spaced, whether the chute or alley is covered, the outside temperature, the age of the animals, and the physical and health condition of the animals. Inspection program personnel should determine compliance for each situation on a case by case basis after examining all the applicable facts and conditions that are relevant to a determination under 9 CFR 313.2(e).
You consider all of the factors that you observed, and based on the cattle being under a roof; not being crowded; showing no sign of stress or discomfort; the cattle not being left in the drive alley and single file chute for an inordinate period of time; and the establishment following its humane handling plan, you determine that the cattle in the drive alley and single file chute are not being treated inhumanely. The single file chute and the drive alley are not considered as holding pens in this situation. Therefore, the establishment is in compliance with requirements in 9 CFR 313.2(e).
- Time spent verifying that animals are treated humanely should be entered into HATS under Category III and Category IV.
- The Inspection System Procedure (ISP) code 04C02 in Performance Based Inspection System (PBIS) is checked as performed (acceptable).

Nutrition and Wellness Programs
Child Nutrition Reauthorization
Block Claiming
CACFP Sponsoring Organization (this excludes those with only one CACFP site),
The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, Public Law 111-296, was signed into law on December 13, 2010. This Act eliminates the requirements for block claim edit checks and follow-up reviews related to detection of block claims in the Child and Adult Care Food Program.
Effective immediately, sponsoring organizations are no longer required to conduct edit checks designed to detect block claims as defined by 7 CFR 226.2 and required by 7 CFR 226.10 (c) (3). Also sponsoring organizations are not required to meet the follow up review requirements associated with detection of block claims. Although this edit is no longer required, sponsoring organizations may, at their discretion, continue block claim edit checks.
In addition, it is important to note the Federal requirements for two other sponsor-level edit checks are still in effect. The following two edit checks remain in place:
- In accordance with 7 CFR 226.10 (c)(1), sponsoring organizations are required to continue to verify the provider/facility is claiming only the approved meal types.
- In accordance with 7 CFR 226.10 (c)(2), sponsoring organizations must continue to compare the enrollment information, days of service and total meals claimed.
Sponsoring organizations are encouraged to review their current edit check procedures, train staff on the changes, and revise all necessary procedures. This has to be DELETED for centers - If changes are needed, please also remember to update the current management file
If you have questions, please call 800/545-7892 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

The overwhelming majority of drivers out on the open road today (in Illinois as well as all over the country, for that matter) are overspending on their auto insurance – sometimes significantly.
We are talking about millions of Americans spending 30% more on their auto insurance than they should be, and worst of all, most of them aren't even aware of the fact that they are throwing money down the drain in the first place.
If you are currently paying more than you feel is fair for automobile insurance in Illinois, you're going to want to pay attention to the secrets that are revealed in this quick guide. We give you a couple of tips and tricks to help you save money on your Illinois auto insurance, tips and tricks that you can immediately put into play to start saving money almost overnight.
Ready to jump right in?
The value of getting Illinois auto insurance quotes even when you already have a policy
Most people already have some kind of auto insurance plan set up, but that doesn't mean that it isn't important to hunt for the very best Illinois auto insurance quotes you can find from competing companies.
After all, if you aren't aware of the options that are available to you, and how much money you could save by jumping ship to another company, how are you ever going to know when it's time to move on?
Regardless of how much longer you have left on your policy (and especially if you are on a month to month style payment plan), you should look into different Illinois auto insurance quotes from as many competitors as you can reasonably research – all in an effort to find lower prices and (ideally) better coverage.
This will be tremendous leverage going forward.
Make sure that your Illinois auto insurance company is aware that you are thinking about walking
You see, when you get your hands on those Illinois auto insurance quotes we mentioned above, you're going to be armed with real market research that you can use as leverage against your current auto insurance company.
You'll be able to go to them and tell them that you either intend to walk right now or when your policy completes, unless of course they are willing to work with you and give you the same kind of coverage at the same kind of discount.

In this paper, The Green Grid proposes the use of a new metric to complement the series of metrics that TGG has introduced in the past few years, which includes power usage effectiveness (PUE), data center energy productivity (DCeP), energy reuse effectiveness (ERE), and others. This white paper introduces the carbon usage effectiveness (CUE) metric and addresses data center–specific carbon emissions, which is emerging as an extremely important factor in the design, location, and operation of these facilities today and in the future. CUE, combined with PUE, enables data center operators to quickly assess the relative sustainability of their data centers, compare the results, and determine if any energy efficiency and/or sustainable energy improvements need to be made.
Hi Francine,
Thanks for your post. The Green Grid has a liaison with the Open Data Center Alliance, which is doing some work directly related to carbon footprint. You may want to visit their website at http://www.opendatacenteralliance.org/ for more information.
Best regards,
The Green Grid Administration

A very interesting paper - thank you.
We've been doing some work at Mastodon C (www.mastodonc.com) to provide estimates of the CUE of different public cloud options. Public cloud is an area where CUE is especially relevant, given that users are usually free to move across different locations and providers rather than being tied into an owned and operated data centre.
Given that public cloud providers don't offer comprehensive or standardised data on their footprints, we're currently using climate and eGrid energy grid data to infer estimates of the footprints. I believe this to be a reasonable approach, given that based on my own modelling, 60% of the variation between a 'good' and a 'bad' CUE is likely to be related to the primary power source, and 20% is related to the external climate of the location, which are both publicly available information (the remainder determined by physical design, occupancy, backup power source, etc).
We would be extremely interested in working with any data centre or public cloud providers who would like to participate in a public and open effort to provide ratings information: our current models are, I believe, pretty good estimates, but are all based 'outside the walls' so could clearly be improved.
I believe that this is a particularly important issue for the public cloud, given the buyers' mobility and the dramatic differences in CUE between providers and locations; enhanced transparency could lead to extremely significant global carbon reductions.

Thank you for your thoughtful question. Yes, there are numerous gasses associated with CO2e, or as we listed in our formula CO2eq with eq denoting equivalent. The EPA along with other global reporting organizations have developed a model for combining the individual gasses into a single CO2e number based upon their relative 'climate impact' versus CO2. Most utilities will report their CO2e data as a single number. We recommend you use the CO2e number and not attempt to combine the individual gas data yourself.
We will examine our descriptor and add appropriate footnotes/references in the next revision.
Again, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I've seen a utility report their emissions as "CO2 Equivalent." I see in the EPA eGrid that they break out NOx, SO2, CO2, CH4, N20. How do I convert from the eGrid break-outs to "CO2 Equivalent?"
Will the CUE metric be updated to account for greenhouse impact of non-CO2 emissions?

Hello Andrew,
Thanks for your comment. The Green Grid continues to work closely with the EPA, Dept. of Energy and other government/industry organizations around the world to help make data centers more energy efficient, sustainable and
cost-effective. We've recently placed a strong emphasis on helping organizations realize the environmental impact of their data centers and expect the increased visibility around CUE and TCE to serve as an industry catalyst for even more robust efforts to improve sustainability within data center facilities.
As you point out, there are some strong similarities between the TCE metric and The Green Grid's CUE metric, as well as some notable differences. While you've highlighted the different units of measurement used for TCE and CUE, it's also important to distinguish that the TCE metric establishes the CO2 output emission rate of electricity used by the facility, which could be interpreted to exclude the purchase of chilled water or not. However, the CUE metric establishes the CO2 output emission rate of total data center energy, which includes purchased water, and all energy sources used on site.
Again, we appreciate your feedback as we encourage greater collaboration across the industry and look to develop data center metrics that are widely adopted in the U.S. and abroad.

The easiest to obtain source of normalized carbon data for grid sourced electricity in the US is the EPA's eGrid as the paper references.
While the use of kg (vs. pounds CO2 emitted) has greater international acceptance, US eGrid data is provided in pounds. For this reason it was decided to simplify conversions for US users by using pounds CO2 emitted in what we have been using as the TCE Metric since 2007. It appears that this 'new' sustainability metric is largely the old TCE concept represented in kg. See: http://www.datacenterdynamics.com/Media/MediaManager/Technology_Carbon_Efficiency.pdf
It is great to see this concept finally gaining greater awareness/acceptance. If (when?) the US begins regulating carbon, it will be interesting to see if government regulation is enforced in imperial or metric units for greater international acceptance and trade considerations.

Hello John,
As the metric is recommended as an end user tool to drive improvement in your environment respectively, if you have or can obtain more relevant data then what has been recommended, by all means please do so. It is more important to be consistent in the approach and calculation if using the metric for individual improvements over time, regardless if it the source calculations are based on utility or state data.
Posted at 04:27 PM on December 08, 2010 by Dan Azevedo
The paper suggests using regional information (for example, from the EIA) for carbon emission data. Would you agree that using information from the relevant utility within the state would be preferable - assuming the utility publishes that information?
EIA publishes average data for each state. I have found that different utilities within the same state may have significantly different generation mixes. This can result in significantly different carbon footprints.

I actually like this roster better than last years. One of the reasons I think GG was demoted was all those old guys we brought in last year, I think I read Felton said the same thing about last years team that it was too old.
Sorry to be excited for this, but glad we're getting closer to seeing Knicks bball. Figured I'd create a thread for people to discuss training camp news as it comes out, and anything funny/interesting from Media Say which begins in 30 min. I'm hoping for a healthy camp and preseason from our guys! The news that Stoudemire had another minor knee surgery this summer is troubling, but let's hope he makes it to the Bcats opener still healthy, I know it's easy to write him off, but I think we need to be able to get some positive performance from him. Also interested to see if any camp invites make the team, as is I like Leslie to keep roster spot as well as Jeremy Tyler despite being injured, I think they are good emergency depth young guys that have upside. With Felton, Prigs, Udrih, Shump, JR, Tim H, Melo, MWP, Stat, Bargs, Chandler, Kmart, and those 2, if we elected to not leave a roster spot open (which we may do to get a released vet at some point again) we could bring in 1 more, of course this changes if my assumptions are wrong on Leslie or Tyler. Out of guys we have for a look, I am interested in Toure Murray but not sure how he gets much court time, albeit a 15th man that should be true. I am also interested in Diogu, he's played some NBA rotation minutes in the past, and I'm interested in Aldrich. Idea is to let them sort it obviously but I'd lean towards Aldrich as I think bigs can be crucial, if Chandler goes down we need big bodies. With Shump and Jr playing some 3 I don't see Diogu doing as much, and if Felton went down you still have Udrih and Prigs and all the 2s could log emergency pg mins if needed, I see Center being the need for depth, especially with Kmart, Bargs and Stat health issues and Tyler temp shelved
"Tough times don't last forever, tough people do"
I actually like this roster better than last years. One of the reasons I think GG was demoted was all those old guys we brought in last year, I think I read Felton said the same thing about last years team that it was too old.
And that's what I meant by saying that Grunwald was always able to repair the damage. He realized the veteran team concept was a fail and that's the reason we look much younger this year. In a couple of month the average age dropped from almost 32 to slightly above 28. Not to mention that pickups such as Tyler or Murry are able to contribute right away.
But, to the point, I didn't really feel this offseason, I tried to follow the Knicks news, but short after the Summer League I lost my interest. But now, that we're just a month away from the season I start to feel the excitement again.
Are we going to make a trade to balance this roster?
I don't see us winning 50 games.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] @Al_Iannazzone
Woodson on J.R.'s 5-game ban. "I'm sure he will apologize to this organization and his teammates b/c we've made a major commitment to him."
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Woodson on Bargnani: "He's in pretty good shape.'' Said he will get better during training camp. Coming off pneumonia.
Mike Woodson says he'll use training camp to experiment with lineups. Won't commit to going with a small or big lineup today. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
So Stat may not be ready for start of season now, Woodson wouldn't say for sure but sounds like he'll be held out all preseason games and possibly not ready for start of season. Of course we already have similar with JR plus suspension. Sorry to whine, but sick of every year starting and then having to adjust rotations to accomodate guys returning to court, I know it is common and coaches have to deal with injuries but I feel we NEVER have a training camp where everyone is able to get solid work in together. So it'll be a couple of weeks then some guys that may have played well will lose minutes to give to JR and Stat, not that they aren't rotation guys for us, just sucks always having to screw with rotation
"Tough times don't last forever, tough people do"
Really sick of the Stat soap opera. I remember his agent saying in the summer his knee was 100% and then we find out he had a knee surgery in the summer a couple of months later. Bargs is going to get a lot of minutes early in the season by default with Stat out. Bargs is on the big stage now, let's hope he shines and the MSG crowd will be shouting MVP MVP for him.
Not huge news but Brownlee out Douglas-Roberts in, haven't seen CDR in a couple years but what I recall with Nets/wherever he wouldn't be awful way to fill out a roster either, again any of these hopefuls hopefully shouldn't play other than garbage time, but still I prefer guys I don't cringe at in case we did get thin for a stretch and needed them to play mins
"Tough times don't last forever, tough people do"
Like Soloman Jones last year, in his late season cup of coffee I would actually get upset watching him
"Tough times don't last forever, tough people do"
Good point all-around .. At $10M per. Bargani is a 30 minute player.
Take one guess who 30 min playingtime Bargani is taking? I wouldve gave it to Copeland.
A week after the Bargani trade was finalize in July, the Knicks media hit us off with some bs news about Amare only being able to play 20 minutes per game.
Two months later after swallowing the Amare 20 minute rule, the Knicks media hit us off with some more bs opera news about our $100M player (Amare) having a secret surgery behind our backs 3 months ago.
All the surprise-surprise Knicks media news on Amare-opera is indirect news of a no-show Amare in the 2013-14 season.
These are the 13 players under-contract to begin training-camp
What we got ....
at center we got .. Tyson, Amare, Bargani
at PF we got .. Kenyon Martin, injured Tyler
at SF we got .. Melo, Meta
at SG we got .. Shump, JR, Hardaway
at PG we got .. Felton, Prig, Beno
I put these players in there natural-position .
How HC Woody rotation/substitution format plays out with certain players performing out of their natural position will be on Woody.
Example: Shump/ JRsmith are not point-forward, Meta/Melo are not PF, and Kenyon Martin/Tyler are not centers.
When we substitute to run a small-ball lineup of 3 guards, and 2 forwards during a game it should not change our players main position.
Our postseason presence prove that.
Im hoping we give Tim Hardaway Jr. at least 28 minutes of playintime in preseason games.
We have 2 job opening for 6 tryouts .... which one u like???
#45 6.11 C- Cole Aldrich
#50 6.9 F/C- Ike Diogu
#20 6.9 F/C- Josh Powell
#25 6.9 PF- C.J. Leslie
#34 6.7 SF- Chris Douglas-Roberts
#23 6.5 SG- Toure' Murry
Thanx Gunny .. all 3 of our PG are signed for the season .. no pressure
Looks like Chandler agreed with my thread about training with Hakeem was a waste of time. Seems he declined Hakeem's camp in the summer to work on a 15ft jumper and hook shot all summer.
Last season, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] took 362 shots inside 5 feet of the rim (hitting 66.3 percent) and 38 shots from outside 5 feet (hitting 39.5 percent). The man is not a jump shooter.
Chandler is a smart veteran now however and he sees which way the game is evolving — big men who can step out and knock down a midrange jumper to help space the floor have great value.
So Chandler spent a chunk of his summer working on his jump shot, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]:Chandler has worked on the jumper all offseason. He declined to attend Hakeem Olajuwon's big man camp, feeling the jumper is more important in the modern-day game than scoring in the post. "I think it can be deadly," he said. "If you can knock down that mid-range jump shot, it exploits a lot of bigs, makes them come away from the basket where they're not comfortable."Very true, it pulls a big away from protecting the rim. Something Chandler knows about all too well.
Teams are going to let Chandler have a face up jumper from the elbow relatively uncontested until he shows he can make it regularly, but if he can it will tweak how teams defend the Knicks.
That said, this is not going to be some major weapon for the Knicks — Chandler is very good on the roll and he should do that mostly off the pick, not pop. If Chandler takes one midrange jumper a game, that's about max. If you're trying to get the most efficient offensive shot you can, Chandler from the midrange is never going to be it.

How do you identify a plant when you need to see inside some barely visible flowers on the outside? Cuscuta (Dodders) is an obligately parasitic plant found worldwide. Members of the Cuscuta genus tap into their host using haustoria, which enables them access to the vascular system, and thus an abundance of nutrients. It has the appearance of spaghetti as it takes a stranglehold over trees, crops and other vegetation. As part of a directed study with Dr. Costea, I will be photographing (using a Nikon SMZ1500 microscope and PAX-IT software) many different dodders from Chile to Quebec, with the goal of facilitating the identification, study and characterization of this ill-studied and interesting group of plants.
When not pouring over samples of Cuscuta, I enjoy working out, cycling, traveling, swimming, and enjoying nature in all its beauty. I am currently finishing up my undergraduate in Biology with an option in Environmental Science and a minor in French.

Quirky quote of the day
"The nice thing about egotists is that they don't talk about other people." — Lucille S. Harper
Today in history
On this day in 1979, President Jimmy Carter addresses the nation via live television to discuss the nation's energy crisis and accompanying recession in what be known as his "crisis of confidence" speech.
Here's the rest of the story:
Today — Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 97. South wind between 5 and 15 mph.
Tonight — Isolated showers and thunderstorms before midnight. Partly cloudy, with a low around 69. South wind between 5 and 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 10 percent.
