A local dairyman has committed to submit a plan to reduce groundwater contamination at a Lea County dairy he owns, according to the New Mexico Environment Department.
According to a department news release sent out Thursday, the department issued a compliance order to Eddie "Ed the Dairyman" Schaap of Ranchvale on Nov. 3 for failing to install a well to monitor groundwater conditions beneath High Lonesome Dairy near Hobbs.
State regulations require such monitoring wells to detect whether pollution prevention measures are successful, and the regulations allow for civil penalties in the case of violations.
The settlement includes a fine of $3,000, according to the news release.
During an October campaign stop in Roswell, former GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin alluded several times to "Ed the Dairyman" after seeing someone in the crowd holding a sign that had identified Schaap that way.
According to the release, the installation process began Nov. 19 and was finished by Dec. 8.

**This post is for information only and is a work in progress**
Has your infant recently been diagnosed with scoliosis? If so, take a deep breath - we are here to help and guide you to the very best treatment for your child.
Firstly, the most important thing to find out is the type of scoliosis that your baby has. The main types of scoliosis are as follows:
- Congenital Scoliosis (which is caused by malformed vertebrae that happened whilst the baby was developing in utero; malformed verts include hemivertebrae, butterfly shaped vertebrae, and conjoined or fused vertebrae - these are usually visible on x-rays and scans)
- Neuromuscular Scoliosis (which has developed secondary to another condition, such as Cerebral Palsy)
-Idiopathic Scoliosis (which is where there is no known cause for the curve that has developed).
In all cases, your child must be under the care of a spinal specialist surgeon who will oversee their treatment as they grow. Time is of the essence! The sooner your child is assessed and starts treatment, the better. Don't be fobbed off with a long wait for your child to be assessed - their curve could progress rapidly in that time. If you are given an initial appointment in the far future, let us know and we'll help you sort things so your child is seen sooner.
If your infant has Idiopathic Scoliosis, it is of utmost importance that they are seen by a spinal specialist who understands Idiopathic Scoliosis in very young children. We can help you find a suitable consultant for your child. In most cases of scoliosis in infants, the curve is mild and will resolve on its own. However, a very small subset will progress - and for these children, the curve can progress rapidly and cause a great deal of deformity in a short space of time. This can be dangerous and can have long-lasting effects; for instance, large thoracic curves can restrict the growth of the lungs.
Thankfully, there is a method which gives a good indicator of whether an infant is likely to have the resolving, benign type of scoliosis or whether they are at risk of having the progressive type. This method is done by measuring the angle of the ribs to the vertebrae, and is called the RVAD (Rib-Vertebra Angle Difference) and any good scoliosis surgeon who understands scoliosis in infants should be well aware of how to measure it.
If your child's RVAD measures as less than 20 degrees, it is usually safe to employ a policy of "watchful waiting" - ie just keeping a close eye on them. Otherwise, it is IMPERATIVE that your child is given treatment as soon as possible. Do NOT be fobbed off with a "wait and see" approach if you do not know for definite that your child has a low RVAD. The larger the curve when proper treatment starts, the harder it is to manage. EARLY TREATMENT IS VITAL - the earlier the better.
Many surgeons today will place infants into braces, and some will put them into plaster bodycasts. However, there is one method that can actually CURE an infant with progressive-type Infant Idiopathic Scoliosis if it is caught early enough. This method uses a series of casts that are applied using techniques and refinements specifically devised by Dr Min Mehta at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, England, in the late 1970s-1980s. Sadly, there are few surgeons who properly understand the Mehta Casting technique - especially as her research papers are now seen as dated - but work is being done to promote it, there are recent studies that prove its efficacy that have been done in the USA, and we hope that it will become the norm in future.
Standard Casting (known as EDF Casting) alone can help to manage scoliosis in infants, but the Mehta Technique, which improved upon this technique, has been proven to be more effective, and since it was introduced to the USA in the past ten years there are now many children who once faced numerous surgeries who are growing up with normal straight spines. They are "cured"! The lady who helped introduce Mehta's Technique in the USA, Heather Hyatt Montoya, now runs the Infantile Scoliosis Outreach Program, and their website is an excellent source of information regarding this. The website can be found at:
The ISOP website has plenty of info and also success stories which will hopefully be encouraging to many. As well as being an Admin here at SSO, I am now Heather's righthand here in the UK and will do my best to help with any questions that UK based parents have.
Please note that sadly, Mehta Casting is only very effective for Infantile Idiopathic Scoliosis. It not so effective for other types of Infantile Scoliosis, though in some cases it may help to control the curves. However, ALL infants with scoliosis MUST be placed under the care of an experienced scoliosis surgeon as soon as possible, and as mentioned above, here at SSO we will do our bet to help you to find someone suitable if needed. There are all sorts of methods for controlling curves so please don't feel disheartened if your child has a different type of scoliosis.
I grew up with Infantile Idiopathic Scoliosis myself so this cause is dear to my heart. Please feel free to PM me for support at any time,

Miriam, Mary Lynn and others,
boutique at the Refugee Center has a history. People used to come and donate
clothing. Some students would take a huge amount and others wouldn't touch the
pile, citing that they did not want to "take charity".
In the
mid 1990's I came up with the idea of a project for my class: arrange the
clothing, bring in other items, and set up a boutique in which everything cost
ten cents. The fact that students were paying for their boutique
items erased the one impediment that had been there before - the idea of
"taking charity".
We have never run into any opposition to
the idea. Quite the opposite - it grew, often with student input in terms of
ideas, and later clothing, toys and household items. Students worked with a flow
chart - Can the item go on the floor? Does it need sewing or ironing?
there were any students who had reservations about wearing used clothing, it was
not apparent. Even teachers would shop in the Boutiue, and that lent another
level of comfort and legitimacy. Now, former students come in with their
donations to the boutique, and gleefully talk to us about yard sales. Our
current students often go on field trips tp neighborhood thrift shops,
sometimes comparing their offerings to ours.
If we
receive large items, such as computers, musical instruments, play stations,
televisions, dinnerware, and such, we handle it by lottery, having all those
interested in the item participate in a drawing.
concept has also expanded to a video rental library run by yet another class, in
which donated VHS and DVD videos are borrowed (at no charge). The students have
itemized the offerings in a spreadsheet, and are currently using the internet to
write synopses about each movie. We have also invited one of the College's
Business Institute directors to talk to the class about microenterprise, and how
they can open their own businesses.
Sometimes, a tiny idea used to sovle a problem can spiral into something
entirely new!

Noa and others,
I like the idea of the snack bar very much, but I'm curious about
how the concept of buying and wearing second hand clothing from strangers,
if you will, is received by the students. My experience is that the idea
purchasing and wearing someone else's second-hand clothes and items is
actually one that doesn't always translate across all cultures. True, the
idea is highly positive among middle class here in the U.S. where it is
seen as a way of saving money, being "green," and not wasting resources
-- and this is demonstsrated by the prolitferation of trendy 2nd
hand boutiques in cities and ads on Craig's list to sell gently used baby
clothes (even diapers! ) and toys. However, some cultural groups may find the
idea of buying and wearing someone else's clothing as "charity" (as Jodi
says below) or something somewhat distasteful. Perhaps the fact that all
items are 50 cents takes that edge off? Has anyone else had this
experience with the concept of 2nd hand items and other

Thanks for sharing this. How wonderful to have had 20 hours per

The change to separate Listening, Reading and "Homeroom" classes is
also a very interesting way of meeting the needs of this diverse
population. I know that many community colleges separate their
instruction in adult ESL to oral language skills (Listening/Speaking) and
written language (Reading/Writing) skills. Are there others out there
who could share your experiences in this regard?
The presence of World English speakers and Generation 1.5 speakers in
adult ESL has further complicated the situation. I'd be interested in
knowing how others have dealt with such diverse students in
adult ESL/ESOL.

Jackie and Forrest,
I think most large programs separate literacy
level students from others
who are at a beginning level. I know that back in the 1980s
when there
were large refugee ESL programs, several
community colleges created
parallel ESL classes for the beginning levels and
even into intermediate
levels, with one set of classes for students with
limited literacy or
prior schooling and another for more educated
students. The reason
that the students with less education made slower
progress. Some of
this is undoubtedly due to the way in which we
teach English (requiring
literacy), but it is also because students need
to become accustomed to
attending classes, learning to hold and use a pen
or pencil, and a wide
range of basic skills that come with being a
student in a class.

who need literacy:
you tell us what kind of classes or program you

I like the idea of separate classes for those with a
background and those without. These two groups
have such different
needs. Having both in the class make it
difficult for a teacher to
meet the needs of either group well and I find
that often the stronger
students dominate the class, and their drive
push the teacher forward.

students who are learning
at a faster rate, they often become frustrated
and leave or mentally

To all of you who commented
on level of prior education as a factor
in student performance:
Everyone with whom Jodi Crandall and I talked
believes that more
highly educated students do better in terms
of persistence,
gains, and transitions. And learning theory
would lead us to expect
we found very little hard data about how much
difference prior
education makes, because too few programs
track the level of prior
education of their students and correlate it
with outcomes. DO any of
you do this? That is, do you have any data on
HOW MUCH difference
level of prior education makes?
any strong impressions? And are there "cut
points" in prior education
that seem to make a difference -- e.g.
students who are completely
illiterate, students who at least reached
high school, high school
graduates, college graduates, etc. -- or is level of prior
pretty much of a continuum?
More importantly, what can programs DO to
narrow the gap between
highly educated students and those with less

Presumably students with very low levels of
education are more likely
end up in the lower level ESL courses
(Literacy or Low-Beginning
levels) why are (almost by
definition) in the business of teaching
basic literacy and sometimes
Why isn't this enough? In your experience,
does the "gap" exist at
these levels too, or mainly at higher levels?
At any levels, would it
be desirable to place less highly educated
students in separate
classes from those with more education and
adjust the
curriculum/support systems for them
accordingly? Some programs have
tried "native language literacy" or the
Spanish GED. What has been
the experience of any of you with these
approaches? Any other ideas?
IS there an adult ESL equivalent of
"bi-lingual education" that
should be tried?
It seems to me that we need to come up with
better ideas. Because the
people who study immigration tell us that the
level of education of
immigrants has been falling. And if
Immigration Reform mandates large
numbers of undocumented people to "learn
English" (whatever that
means), ESL programs may be swamped with
students who have very
little education in their native countries
and too little money to
serve them. So anyone who has any ideas
about how to bridge this
"education gap" could help us a lot by
posting ideas about how to
close it on this discussion list.

Thank you for this information. I believe

Hi Tina,
This has been researched already and is the
basis for the arguement
in favor of bilingual education, a good idea
that was not implemented
in the best way. For many years people have
known that a good
foundation in literacy in the first language
will facilitate learning
in a second or third language.
Another interesting twist is the existence of

Hi list members,
My experience teaching ELAA students in the
GED class is similar to
Gail. If the student has a solid
educational background in the
came from in their native language, they
tend to advance rather
get their GED. Those coming with 6th grade
educations from their
lower tend to stay in the GED class for
years and do not make much
This experience relates well to research
done among Native American
teaching them English. Those Native
Americans who were first taught
skills in their own tongue learned English
much quicker than those
to learn literacy skills in English without
that background in
tongue. I also found similar problems when
I was learning Spanish.
The concepts I could mentally translate
from English to Spanish
were much
to grasp and learn than those I didn't know
in English. Perhaps
something deserving more research.

OPT on PHPCon 2010 Poland
PHPCon 2010 Poland is a new PHP conference organised by Polish Linux User Group addressed towards Polish programmers. The first edition will take place on 21 to 23 May 2010 in Poland, and one of the topics will be one of Invenzzia Group's projects - Open Power Template. The listeners will have an opportunity to learn about the template engine issues, OPT structure and the most interesting and unique features, as well as the future of the project. The lecture is intended to be prepared in Polish, but of course if there will be enough interest, it would be no problem to make an English version.

Giles has worked in Portland since November 2012.
"Chief Giles has done a great job as police chief," City Manager Randy Wright said in a news release sent to the Portland News Thursday morning. "He has been an asset to this community and, most recently, guided the department to the successful conclusion of the Mollie Olgin and Kristine Chapa capital murder investigation."
David Malcom Strickland, 27, and his wife, Laura Strickland, 23, were arrested June 20 in connection with the shootings of Olgin and Chapa, which occurred at Portland's Violet Andrews Park June 22, 2012. Olgin died at the scene, but Chapa survived after being found by park visitors.
Giles informed city staff that his departure would be bittersweet.
"I will always cherish the friendships that have been forged and the lessons I've learned," Giles said in a news release. "Portland will always be my second home."


text: My dd is 4.5mo and most days I feel just as clueless as ever so I need to vent! LO was in the NICU for 7wks, and came home 2wks before her due date. At that time she had been on the standard 3hr feeding schedule with EBM bottles and some nursing. When I brought her home, I did away with the bottles so she started bfing lots more often! She got better at bfing, but then started puking up feedings. Not just a little...a LOT! I investigated the whole reflux idea, but have come to the conclusion (after much trial and error with different solutions) that it's just air bubbles and a pretty bad gag reflex that she has causing the puking. Anyway, I just feel a bit lost sometimes, like I don't know what to do or what to expect from day to day as far as when she will eat, nap, for how long, etc. I try to read her cues, but they seem to be changing as she gets older and sometimes there's such a fine line between hungry, sleepy, happy, gassy! I feel like maybe she would create her own routine if mommy would just get with the program! I guess it will all come together and she'll have ME trained eventually

Ross said he has exchanged text messages with Martin and wants to offer support while hearing the version of events and details that led to his departure from the team.
Martin left the team Oct. 28 after an alleged lunchroom prank in which some teammates, including Incognito, refused to sit next to him. Martin is in Los Angeles with his family and receiving counseling for emotional issues.
"What's going on is something that couldn't have been a worse nightmare," Ross said. "The most important thing is, we care about Jonathan Martin. I have reached out to Jonathan Martin, I have texted him, we have communicated via text, and I plan to meet with him in person very shortly.
"I want to apologize to our fans for putting us in this situation."
Ross asked NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to appoint an investigator to head up the probe because he wants everyone to know the investigation is independent. That investigator, Ted Wells, is scheduled to meet with Martin on Friday -- two days after Ross and Martin plan a sitdown.
Martin wants to return to the NFL at some point, but he does not feel he can play with the Dolphins anymore and is unlikely to play again this season.
According to the ESPN report based on sources, Martin is relieved to be away from the team at the moment because the past season and a half were unbearable for him. He tried to befriend teammates to avoid being picked on, but apparently that was unsuccessful.
Fox Sports reported Monday that Martin plans to release a video statement, perhaps this week, explaining in detail why he left the team.
Ross texted Martin last week and offered his support as the Incognito controversy began to take hold, a league source told ESPN.
In the text, Ross expressed to Martin what he also said in a team news release last week -- that he is committed to creating a professional environment for all members of his organization.
Incognito, in an interview with Fox Sports on Sunday, confirmed that he did leave the controversial voice mail message to Martin in April that included a racial slur and a threat to kill Martin. Despite the scathing language, Incognito said his actions "came from a place of love" and that vulgar communication was normal among Dolphins players.
"I'm not a racist, and to judge me by that one word is wrong," Incognito said. "In no way, shape or form is it ever acceptable for me to use that word, even if it's friend to friend on a voice mail."
In a transcript of the voice mail message from April, Incognito referred to Martin as a "half n-- piece of s--," and added, "F-- you, you're still a rookie. I'll kill you."
"It's thrown around a lot," Incognito told Fox Sports. "It's a word that I've heard Jon use a lot. It's not saying it's right that I did it and used it in a voice mail. But it's a lot of colorful words that are being thrown around in a locker room that we don't use in everyday life."
Dolphins offensive lineman Mike Pouncey told ESPN's "Monday Night Football" crew that he thought Incognito's Sunday interview was "fantastic."
"It was absolutely true," Pouncey said. "(Incognito) was very sincere about a lot of things. He admitted when he was wrong and let the whole world know his side of the story."

God help us, with starbury this is an almost impossible game; without him we have an ice cubes chance in hell.
i'm not so sure we are #Ghdh^59k...
sometimes (not always) we show up against the better teams, and disappear against the lousy teams (phila before xmas, charlotte after)..
one thing for sure... better get some oxygen ready for curry... the way the suns run, he is going to need some before the 1st qtr is over..
This is not good. We have Nash and Stoudamire tonight which will give Curry and whoever the starting pg will be tonight, all kinds of problems. Then Wade and Shaq are expected to play friday with the Heat. Even if Marbury was healthy I wouldn't have given the Knicks much of a chance to win these next 2 games.
Again, pray that we limit our turnovers and play some sort of defense.
The funny thing about teams like the Suns & Heat is that I wouldn't be shocked if we put a good game against them, and maybe beat em- But in April, they'll face eachother in the finals.
Gotta luv it
ok ok im still hurting from the terrible game we played against the heat, but tonight looks bad real bad. DAVID LEE should be starting, in the game against the heat frye was lost and doesnt have energy to keep up with the faster teams, he cant even rebound, yeah hes a good shooter and opens the floor, but we need DAVID LEE from the beginning to match up with the fast teams i dont think we can win but i tonight but i do think we can stand a better chance with LEE starting and we would've beat the stupid heat...
Don't get me wrong I'm not predicting a victory or anything. But i remember a red hot Suns team coming into the Garden last year and the us beating them in what was probably the game of the year. Is us winning likely? NO but I almost have a better feeling tonight then i did when i heard Dwade wasn't going to play. Even in the last 5 years we've always shown up once or twice at home a season and suprised a good team. As far as Marbury not playing i really don't think it matters at all. Marbury has a tendency to shrink in big games or against the big time players. (just look at his record against Jason Kidd) We might not win this game but i atleast see us putting up a fight. Lets just hope if it comes down to a final shot it won't be Crawford shooting a pull up.
i hope marbury comes back soon if he doesnt r season is done
first half, awesome. we played real defense. i almost freaked out when we had that 10 point lead.
everything fell to **** in the 3rd quarter. of course we picked it up a bit in the 4th...but we shouldnt have gotten in that giant defecit anyways, we showed in the 1st half we could show up the suns, and then threw it away.
i feel like i type the same stuff 3 times a week.
oh well. we did much better than i expected, atleast.
if curry and marbury are gonna be out...
yeah we're done done done.

The property tax bite is declining on Twin Cities metro area homes.
The owner of a home in Minneapolis with a median taxable value of $170,500 can expect a 5.8 percent reduction in 2013. In St. Paul, where the median taxable value is $108,500, the projected decrease is about 5.6 percent.
The Star Tribune reports most homeowners would see decreases in 56 of 85 metro area communities, compared with nine in which increases have been projected. The remaining 20 communities show both increases and decreases, with differences depending on a homeowner's school district.
The projected tax bills could be scaled back and don't all include the effect of school levies approved in November.
Officials say the relief could be short-lived as the improving housing market pushes property values up.

7 cars get top ratings in high-tech safety test
NEW YORK Seven midsize vehicles earned the top rating in a new insurance industry test of high-tech safety features designed to prevent front-end collisions.
The Cadillac ATS and SRX, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Mercedes C-Class and Volvo S60 and XC60 won superior ratings in tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, or IIHS.
The institute tested 74 midsize cars and SUVs from the model years 2013 and 2014. Those equipped with front collision-warning and automatic braking systems generally scored better. The systems can either warn the driver or automatically stop the car if they sense a potential collision.
IIHS, a nonprofit research group funded by insurance companies, has pushed federal regulators and automakers to require or offer as an option new safety systems such as antilock brakes.
The group also is pushing automakers to bolster front-end crash resistance.
Automakers have been offering the frontal-crash systems on more and more models as the price of the technology falls. The systems use radar, cameras, ultrasonic sensors and computers to spot objects in front of cars and determine if a collision is possible. A driver may be warned to take action, or the system may apply the brakes itself.
IIHS said its data institute has determined that the devices help drivers avoid frontal crashes, but even so, auto insurance companies generally arent offering discounts for people who buy them.
Insurance companies say that as the systems become more popular in certain models, insurance claims will decline. Those models eventually will see discounted rates.
In the tests, six other cars got second-best advanced ratings: Acura MDX, Audi A4 and Q5, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Lexus ES, Mazda 6.
More than two dozen models received basic ratings: Acura ZDX; BMW 3 series, X3; Chevrolet Equinox and Malibu; Dodge Durango; Ford Edge, Explorer, Flex, Fusion; GMC Terrain, Honda Accord and Crosstour; Infiniti Q50, QX50, QX60, QX70; Jeep Cherokee, Lexus IS and RX; Lincoln MKT, MKX, MKZ; Mercedes GLK, M-Class.
Another 36 got no rating because they didnt have the systems or their systems didnt meet the institutes standards.
The institute says the tests will help people decide which features to buy and encourage automakers to adopt the new technology faster.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

CNJ staff photo: Sharna Johnson Police officers stand outside Bank of America on North Prince Tuesday after it was evacuated because of a bomb threat around 1 p.m. No bomb was found and the bank reopened around 3 p.m.
By Sharna Johnson: CNJ staff writer
Clovis' Bank of America received its third bomb scare in five months on Tuesday.
Police evacuated the bank at the corner of Prince and Manana streets and secured the parking lot around 1 p.m. after a woman called a business next door and said there was a bomb in the bank, Clovis police Lt. Jim Schoeffel said.
Schoeffel said the bank was searched and declared clear by officers. "There was nothing there," he said.
The bank reopened at 3 p.m.
"The safety and security of our customers and our associates is our top priority," said Britney Sheehan of Bank of America's media relations office in Miami.
Sheehan said the bank has a variety of security measures in place, however, she would not discuss them for security reasons. She said she would not discuss if the company is conducting its own investigation.
"We are cooperating fully with authorities," Sheehan said.
The bank was evacuated June 11 and June 29 after bomb threats were phoned in.
Schoeffel said no other bomb threats have been reported in the city in the last three months.
In the June 11 incident, a female caller told dispatchers a bomb was going to be brought to the bank.
K-9 explosive detection and an Explosive Ordnance team from Cannon Air Force Base responded and determined there was no threat.
In the June 29 incident, a female caller told bank personnel there was a bomb. Police again evacuated and searched the building, but found nothing.
Police records show in the earlier incidents the calls were traced to a pay phone at a convenience store on Mitchell Street.
There have been no arrests made in any of the cases.
Bomb threats are classified as fourth-degree felonies and conviction can result in up to 18 months imprisonment, Schoeffel said.

After studying fine art and living as an artist in New York in the late 1980's, Aram took a life-altering trip to India where he discovered the rich traditions of metal working. Inspired to work with craftsmen whose skills he felt were greatly untapped, he turned his creative focus toward craft based design and set up a home and workshop in New Delhi. Through a handmade process, each Michael Aram piece combines traditional metal techniques with contemporary, narrative design. Fittingly, aram in Hindi means "gently, with peace, with love and care".

Eli M. Oboler Memorial Award
The Eli M. Oboler Memorial Award, which consists of $500 and a certificate, is presented for the best published work in the area of intellectual freedom. The award was named for Eli M. Oboler, the extensively published Idaho State University librarian known as a "champion of intellectual freedom who demanded the dismantling of all barriers to freedom of expression." Works to be considered for the award may be single articles (including review pieces), a series of thematically connected articles, books, or manuals published on the local, state or national level in English or English translation.
Listing of past award recipients
- It must be an article (including a review article), a series of thematically connected articles, a book, or a manual published on the local, state, or national level, in English or in English translation. It need not have appeared in the "library press."
- It must have as its central concern one or more issues, events, questions, or controversies in the area of intellectual freedom, including matters of ethical, political, or social concern related to intellectual freedom.
- It must also be demonstrably relevant to the concerns and needs of members of the library community, including the worlds of publication (print and non-print) and communication.
- It must, in the opinion of the judges (which is final), meet high standards of literary quality, accuracy, and responsibility. The principal focus of evaluation will, of course, be the writing, but other considerations may, in the opinion of the judges be relevant. These may range from the use of particularly effective illustrations to recognition for the difficult nature of the background research or the subject itself, or for special courage or persistence displayed in writing and publishing the work.
- The work must have been published within the two-year period ending the December prior to the ALA Annual Conference at which it is granted. For example, the 2020 award will be granted to a work published in 2018 and 2019.
Sponsor and Deadline
The Eli M. Oboler Memorial Award is sponsored by the Intellectual Freedom Round Table (IFRT) of the American Library Association (ALA). The deadline for the biennial award is December 1, of odd-numbered years (e.g., the deadline for the 2020 award will be December 1, 2019).

Planning and Leadership
"Sustainability isn't just a bandwagon we're hopping onto. It's woven into the very fabric of our identity and history as an institution."
President Purce, 2007
Institutional and National Commitments to Sustainability
Talloires Declaration
President Les Purce signed the Talloires Declaration in 2007. The Declaration is a ten-point action plan for incorporating sustainability and environmental literacy in teaching, research, operations and outreach at colleges and universities.
The American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment
President Les Purce was an early member of the Leadership Circle of the Presidents Climate Commitment, and signer of that commitment to develop a comprehensive plan to achieve climate neutrality as soon as possible.
- As part of this commitment, Evergreen completed its first carbon inventory in 2007. At 5.1 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per fulltime student, the college's carbon footprint was less than half the national average for colleges and universities.
2007 Updated Strategic Plan
Evergreen's updated strategic plan (PDF) includes the following regarding sustainability: "Evergreen will become a laboratory for sustainability — as demonstrated in our operations, our curriculum, and in the quality of life for our employees and students — and commit to becoming a carbon neutral college by the year 2020. Already the premier national model for interdisciplinary liberal arts education, ultimately Evergreen will become similarly known for its leadership in sustainability — providing educational and employment opportunities throughout the academic, public, nonprofit, and business communities."
The Campus Master Plan
Completed in 2007-08, the Campus Master Plan includes a multitude of sustainable features such as a core area in the campus square for Sustainability activities; a comprehensive network of trails for pedestrians and bicycles; plans for green student and faculty housing, and a plan for the college to collaborate with Intercity Transit to drastically reduce single occupancy vehicle traffic.
College Goals
- Carbon Neutral by 2020
- Zero Waste by 2020
- Increase opportunities for a practical education in sustainability
- Initiate a robust plan for the reduced and efficient use of resources
- Examine and implement best sustainable practices/purchases policies
- Manage Evergreen's land endowment for increased biodiversity and maximum educational opportunities related to sustainable practices
Campus Assessments
Evergreen uses AASHE STARS to assess our progress towards more sustainable operations.

Congratulations Giants and Giants fans! And, what a game! That was the quintessential pivotal World Series game kids act out when they pretend. Bottom of the ninth, the hot closer of the post season takes the mound, facing the heart of the opposing team's line up and plows through the first three guys to save a two run squeaker, following six innings of an epic pitcher's duel. Seriously, what a game!
Given my reaction to last night's game, it was really odd to read the comments on my FaceBook page and listen to my coworkers griping about it this morning, and not because they're Rangers fans either…and only five among the dozens are Dodgers fans😉. "Wow, I feel like the baseball season didn't end this year, it fizzled." and "Rangers and Giants? Wasn't that the little league World Series?" and "With these teams, I just couldn't bring myself to care." were among my "favorite" comments. Really people? Were we watching the same post season?
I have read enough of all of your blogs to know that these sentiments no more describe everyone's feelings than they do mine. However, the television ratings certainly indicate that a lot of casual baseball fans do feel this way and that annoyed me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but today's complainers are the same people who, in my experience, would be griping "Not again! How unfair!" if we had enjoyed a Yankees/Phillies match up instead. (And, if a few plays had gone a different way, we would have. Both the Yankees and the Phillies played great ball this year.) I know this to be true because, prior to the conclusions of the NLCS and the ALCS, the complainers in my hearing were already engaging in a little anticipatory "Not again! How unfair!" griping – not that this is any more fair or reality based a complaint than the others.
Clearly, the casual baseball fans in my general vicinity do not know what would entertain them. All snark aside though, this helped me realize that enjoying baseball for baseball's sake takes context. You have to know the teams and the players involved in order to appreciate the strategies and stories within each game. Diehard fans always have context. Casual fans may or may not have context, depending on the match up. And, the most casual of fans must always have a very broad, surface context provided for them – it's a subway/freeway series, one or both of the teams is one of the most storied franchises in baseball, one of the teams involved experienced a recent tragedy that made national headlines, etc. Given this, it's no wonder my complainers didn't enjoy the Series. If the only context they have is the broad, surface context, they can never appreciate a World Series like this one and aren't really giving other World Series match ups the appreciation they deserve either. As if we didn't know this already, it really is so much more fun to be a fan!

Oh, those complainers! They're never satisfied because they clearly aren't appreciating the game of baseball. The Giants were an extremely entertaining team to watch. Great pitching. Great defense. And timely hitting. Plus a ragtag bunch of characters to root for. What's not to like?
Jane – I completely agree. Thoroughly entertaining and truly a team of fun characters!
Thank you for dropping by with my first comment🙂

ok before continueing, I have just recieved word that I am allowed to teach again so if you already found a new senpai/sensei for this let me know. I will continue soon as i have word from you.
I have not.
Alright moving on.
(Raiton: Jūrokuchū Shibari) – Lightning Release: Sixteen-Pillar Bind
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: N/A
Description: After performing the needed hand seals Rat → Monkey → Horse → Tiger the user will create a even more powerful version of lightning release: four pillar bind, the user creates sixteen giant pillars, which then form a giant oven to trap the enemy. It is often used after Earth Release: Mud Fall to cover the enemy target in mud and then follow up with using Fire release: Firing Biscuit, creating flames in the oven to roast and harden the mud, immobilizing the enemy.
(Raiton: Rairyu no Tatsumaki) - Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon Tornado
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user forms a whirling vortex of wind and electricity around themselves. The vortex will take on the form of a dragon's head and will cover the area in front of them. Even if the attack doesn't directly connect with his foe, the lightning can jump from the vortex to hit a nearby target.
(Raiton: Jūrokuchū Shibari) – Lightning Release: Sixteen-Pillar Bind
Basically you create an oven to trap you're opponent. Takes a bit of hand seals to perform and a bit of time depending on your current rank when you use it. Take a look at the video below. It explains how it's used and with a combination as the description says.
(Raiton: Rairyu no Tatsumaki) - Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon Tornado
Alright so you are using basically futon and raiton together on this combination jutsu. The idea is that when the vortex happens you also infuse with lightning chakra but is not negated. Though beaware, more than likely you will have to perform this in 2 steps if you do not have yin and yang training.
How*to*Attack: I quickly weave 16 handsigns and create 16 giant pillars that rise up from the ground around my opponent.
How*to*Defend: I could create a wind barrier around myself to block out all the lightning.
How*to*Counter: I could use a Mokuton dome to block the lightning coming at me.
Advantages This technique is good for severley injuring my foe.
Disadvantages: It requires a lot of handseals.
Combinations: Fire style fire biscuit to burn the foe alive.
Question:* None
How*to*Attack: I create Raiton and Fuuton chakra and make it cover myself(short range) and the surrounding area.After the Combo is fully ready,I mold it into a dragon's head that can hit the opponent directly or just from the electricty of the vortex.
How*to*Defend: I can use a technique that uses Water and wind combined to negate the other combo attack.
How*to*Counter: Well I would use A earth technique to go underground to dodge it quickly.
Advantages Its a verypowerful move that is two elements combined.
Disadvantages: Could take two turns to use it w/o Yin and Ying training.
Combinations: Use the 16 pillar bind to trap them first.
Question:* None
(Raiton: Gian) - Lightning Style: False Darkness
Rank: S
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Descripton: The user after performing the hand seal snake emits lightning in the shape of a spear from their hands whilst kakuzu lightning mask emits it from its mouth, which then pierces the enemy. Its destructive power is great enough to even pierce through rock; meaning it has a high killing potential. The user can increase the number of spears to attack multiple enemies. This, coupled with the sheer speed of the lightning, makes it a difficult technique to evade. This strong attack can be defended against by an equally strong attack of the same element such as Raikiri.
(Raiton: Gian) - Lightning Style: False Darkness
Just like Gian, it's stronger faster and has a more direct and sharp punch to it. It can also branch out.
*I perform the snake hand seal and begin focusing a huge amount of lightning chakra in my throat.
Then once the chakra is built up, I release all of my chakra from my mouth forming a lightning bolt on exiting my mouth..
I also make the lightning bolt with sharp pointed ends thus adding to its natural penetration power so that it can even pierce through a solid rock..*
The user could use a Earth tech to move away from the incoming attack.
Use a combo attack to negate this one.
This technique is very powerful and has a lot of destructive force to it.
This move only reaches Mid range.
I could create a ice prison from underneath my opponent to bin them into place.
No question.Sir!
(Raiton: Kirin) - Lightning Release: Kirin
Rank: S
Type: Offense
Range: Long
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Description: After using Dragon Fireball Jutsu to create thunderclouds in the sky, the user will use Chidori to take control of the lightning above. They can then make the lightning strike an opponent in the blink of an eye.
Can only be avoided with time/space techniques. Can only be used once per battle.
(Raiton: Kirin) - Lightning Release: Kirin
As the description says. It's a set up move by using a dragon fireball jutsu and then wait a turn to execute kirin. It's deadly, accurate and super fast.
I perfrom the Dragon Fireball Jutsu, and I aim it towards the clouds in the atmosphere above the field. I then focus lightning chakra into my hands and I make a chidori. Using Chidori I take control of the lightning up in the atmosphere above the field. Using shape manipulation I have the lightning take the form of a Dragon, I then raise my hand with the chidori up into the air similar to how sasuke did it, and then I point towards a group of trees around long range from me directing Kirin there. Kirin travels at a high speed destroying all the tree on contact and create a large crater.
Pros:S-Rank tech|Super fast|1 hit KO|
Cons: Prep time first.
Defend:Create a very fast shield of wind around myself.
Counter:Use Susanoo like Itachi did.
Combo:Bind the foe into place then use Kirin.
(Raiton: Raikiri) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blade
Rank: S
Type: Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Description: This jutsu is an advanced form of Chidori.
(Raiton: Raikiri Nibai Raikou Jishin) – Lightning Release: Lightning Blade Double Lightning Quake
Rank: S
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: The user performs Lightning blade and splits it in two, then zigzags at the opponent and finishes by slamming them with lightning Cutter.
(Raiton: Raikiri) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blade
Description says it all really. Just another form of chidori into a blade.
(Raiton: Raikiri Nibai Raikou Jishin) – Lightning Release: Lightning Blade Double Lightning
Perform the lightning blade, then zig zag towards your opponent. It's quick and fast paced. Then you strike them as they get near.
Double Quake
I perform the required handseals, and begin to focus chakra into my hands. Using state manipulation I change my chakra into lightning chakra. I then release it into my hands, and using shape manipulation I make it more condense than a chidori. I then use chakra control and shape manipulation and I split the lightning blade into two seperate part, I then start running at the tree in a zig zag formation and I slam my hand into the tree.
Defend:Create a wind barrier around myself.
Counter:Use a earth jutsu to drop down into the ground.
Combo:Bind the foe into place first.
Advantage:Very powerful tech| Fast and quick paced
Disadvantage:Short range and has to actually the opponent.
Lightning Blade
I perform the required handseals and begin to focus chakra torwards my dominant hand. I then use shape manipulation to change my chakra to lightning chakra, and I release the lightning chakra into my hand creating lightning. I then begin to compress the lightning somewhat to make the power of lightning blade more powerful than a chidori O_<
Defend:Create a thin blade of wind to hit them before they get there.
Counter:Use a rasengan to go head to head.
Combo:Use Wood release to bind them into place.
Advantages:Advanced Chidori/S rank
Disadvantages:Short Range

Moving on
(Raigen Raikochu) – Lightning Illusion Flash of Lightning Pillar
Rank: S
Type: Supplementaty
Range: Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: N/A
Description: After performing the following handseals Ram → Horse → Snake → Tiger the user will then create a blinding light that appears to emanate from the users body and blind the target/s.
(Raiton: Raiden) - Lightning Release: Lightning Chain
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description:This technique requires the user to firstly create a shadow clone, each of them then activate the Lightning Cutter on opposite hands to one another. Connecting the two techniques together, forming a chain of sorts, they are then able to use the resulting beam to slice through objects with great ease.
Note: Must first perform the shadow clone technique.
(Raiton: Chidori Shinsō) - One Thousand Birds True Spear
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description:The user starts off by dashing at his opponent with a Chidori in his hand. As they strikes his opponent, they uses shape manipulation to extend the Chidori into a lightning spear that impales and hurtles the opponent into the air. The user then increases the potency of the lightning, generating a powerful electric explosion at the end of the spear and sending the enemy back to the ground.
Note: Only the spear extention can reach up to mid range.
(Raigen Raikochu) – Lightning Illusion Flash of Lightning Pillar
Hand seals are needed, you blind the person
(Raiton: Raiden) - Lightning Release: Lightning Chain
Will need to know shadow clone. Then both at the same time channel lightning chakra and create a link between you and you're clone. Attack the target and hit them with the linked chain.
(Raiton: Chidori Shinsō) - One Thousand Birds True Spear
Another chidori version. Description is quite clear
I begin by performing the required hand seals Ram → Horse → Snake → Tiger and I focus chakra throughout my body evenly. Using state manipulation I make my chakra into lightning chakra, and I release it from my body surrounding me kind of. The lightning creates a huge blinding light that blinds you O_<
Defend:I would create it while my opponent is weaving the four handseals.Unless they have mastered earth.I would create a wind shield around me to block my eyes since its still araiton move.
Counter:Go underground and surprise the opponent.
Combo:Use a strong water technique from above so that they wont see it coming.
Advantage:Blocks the enimies vision.
Disadvantagenly reaches long range.
I create a shadow clone to my right(C1).We then both channel a huge amount of raiton chakra into my right hand and (C1) left.We then connect them together and create a long chain of raiton chakra able to slice through anything.
Defend:I would use mokuton to grab my opponents legs|I would use dark release to absorb it through my hand then redirect it towards my opponent.
Counter:I could use swift release to dodge the technique with my speed|I could also destroy the clone first with a move that is instant from above.
Combo:Cover myself with raiton armor to protect me and my clone|Use flash pillar to blind them.
Advantage:Can cut through basically anything.
Disadvantage: Doesnt reach long range.
I quickly dash at you with great speeds but at the same time I create a chidori in my right hand while still running towards you.I then extend the chidori and impale you with the chidori and once the chidori is inside of you,I send you in the air while still attached to the long spear.I then slam you into the ground causing you major damage.
Defend:Use Earth core to make the user drop into the ground.
Counter:when I see the raiton extending and oming at me I coud use Rasenshuriken to cut right through the beam of light.
Combo:Create a shadow clone to use flash pillar to blind my opponent.
Advantages:It stabs through the opponent.
Disadvantages:I have to first form the chidori and extend it into my foe.

1. How do you create a wall that fast? Elaborate.[first jutsu defend portion]
2. Just attack the clone of the opponent as it's connected and useless if the clone has dispersed. It reaches long range, why won't it when you are just running at them?[second jutsu defend, counter, disadvantage portion]
3. Why not just extend as you run? instead of trying to get closer, stab and then extend? Which also states that you don't have to get close the jutsu us short to mid range. Trip the user........<__< [Basically all portion of the 3rd jutsu]
Give it more thought, reply again with a better reply.....
Any questions?????????
No sir!
Well......... i think that about does it!
You have mastered Raiton!
Yes!Thank you,

Element 118, also called ununoctium, a transuranium element that occupies position 118 in the periodic table and one of the noble gases. Element 118 is a synthetic element, and in 1999 scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, announced the production of atoms of element 118 as a result of the bombardment of lead-208 with atoms of krypton-86. However, in 2002 this result was retracted after it was discovered that some of the data had been falsified. In 2006 scientists at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research at Dubna, Russia, announced that element 118 had been made in 2002 and 2005 in a cyclotron by the nuclear reaction of calcium-48 at an energy of 245 million electron volts (MeV) with a californium-249 target, with three neutrons and one atom of element 118 as the reaction products. Nearly a millisecond after creation, the element 118 nucleus decays into another transuranium element, livermorium, by emitting an alpha particle (helium nucleus). No physical or chemical properties of element 118 can be directly determined, since only a few atoms of element 118 have been produced, but it is likely that element 118 is a gas at room temperature. Like radon, the chemistry of element 118 is expected to reflect its anticipated metalloid properties. Element 118 has been temporarily christened "ununoctium" (Uuo), which means "one-one-eight" in Latin.

Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 5pm PST. This giveaway is now OVER. Thank you so much to everyone who entered! The winner has been randomly chosen and contacted by email. Congratulations Carin U.!
Lisa Irvine writes at Lisa's Blogety Blog. You can find her at @Lirvine98 on twitter. If you have an idea for a giveaway, please let her know!
Doesn't the cake on the cover of this book look fabulous? It had me at hello.
Today's review is "The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking" by Peter Reinhart & Denene Wallace.
Having to be on a special diet is not easy. Learning to bake when you are gluten-free can be difficult. Learning to bake when you need to be both gluten-free AND sugar-free is even more daunting! What flours do I use? What sweeteners can I use and how much? This great cookbook answers all of those questions and more.
First, let me tell you a little bit about the authors.
Peter Reinhart
Peter Reinhart is a baking instructor at Johnson & Wales University. He was the co-founder of the legendary Brother Juniper's Bakery in Sonoma County, California, and is the author of five books on bread baking, including Brother Juniper's Bread Book and the modern classic The Bread Baker's Apprentice, which was named cookbook of the year in 2002 by both the James Beard Foundation and the International Association of Culinary Professionals.
Denene Wallace
Denene's original intent was to create bakery products in her kitchen that would help her manage blood sugar issues. She was taking 5 insulin shots a day to control her blood sugar. Now Denene takes NO insulin shots.
She discovered over the years that these products could also be of great benefit to those who suffer from wheat sensitivity (celiac). As a result of her personal experiences, Denene also believes that these types of products can be an additional tool in achieving and maintaining an individuals' ideal weight.
Having been an Interior Designer for over 15 years, Denene of course, approached her bread baking projects from an artist's vantage point – NO RULES. She experimented with a variety of alternative flours and ingredients. Over time she was able to create excellent tasting bakery products that were sugar free, gluten free, and very low in carbohydrates.
Over a six year period Denene has become an expert in the arena of baking with alternative flours. She has created and perfected products that provide diabetics and celiac patients with a delicious alternative to conventional bakery goods.
Pretty impressive credentials, right?
Now, on to the cookbook!
"The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking" is a "must-have" cookbook for anyone who is sensitive to gluten, diabetic, or needs to reduce carbs to prevent illness or lose weight. The recipes in this book can also easily be made vegan by following the dairy and egg substitution guidelines.
These recipes are easy to follow and use readily available nut and seed flours and alternative and natural sweeteners. This is a beautiful cookbook, with beautiful photos by Leo Gong.
Do these pancakes look gluten-free and sugar-free to you? They just look delicious to me!
This is the FIRST recipe I'm trying!!! Yum!
Just a few of the great recipes in this book are:
- Italian Herb Bread
- Cranberry Scones
- Strawberry-Coconut Muffins
- Cinnamon-Raisin Coffee Cake
- Pumpkin Pie (which is really great for the upcoming holidays!)
- Pecan Sandies
- Apple Crumble Pie
You can purchase "The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking" right from The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking website at a discounted price! ($16.98)
It may also be purchased at Barnes&Noble
I am also very happy to be able to offer a free copy to one lucky reader!
To enter this giveaway, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW.
You may garner an additional entry by Liking The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking on Facebook.
This giveaway will run from today (Wednesday, November 7, 2012) until Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 5pm Pacific Time.
The winner will be notified via email.
Good luck!

Wildoak Living May 27 at 9am - CHANGING CLIMATE - CHANGING WORLD - Part 6 - Cows Save the Planet - Tiny Houses
On Monday, May 27 at 9:00 AM, Johanna continues her series Changing Climate - Changing World, a look at how our changing climate is changing the world we live in, locally and globally.
Part 6 looks at the connection between climate and top soil and how cows and other grass eating ruminants can help reverse climate change.
Johanna talks with veteran journalist Judith Schwartz, author of Cows Save the Planet: And Other Improbable Ways of Restoring Soil to Heal the Earth. Judith is at the leading edge of the movement that recognizes the importance of soil—for issues as close to home as our nutrition and as vast and global as climate change—as well as the potentially positive role of cows in that equation.
We also hear from Orion Walker, Sustainable Technology Program Coordinator and Business Instructor at the Mendocino College in Ukiah. He will be joined by local builder and biologist Jen Riddell, who will talk about her course "Build a Tiny House on Wheels", which starts on June 10. Orion will also give an overview of other classes starting soon, including a sustainability overview, green business, entrepreneurship.

Have you thought about night weaning? Sometimes it's an option instead of full blown weaning. I used Dr. Jay Gordons method sometime around 16 months.
Do you know what is causing your lack of appetite? Cause nursing makes me super hungry!
Maybe look into talking to someone about your anxiety? A counseler, support group etc.
You need to take care of yourself first in order to take care of your child.

Hunting giant Pacific octopuses in Puget Sound could be banned or restricted under regulations being considered by a state panel.
The Washington state Fish and Wildlife Commission began reviewing the rules after a diver killed an octopus in October in a popular diving area near Alki Point in Seattle. A diving instructor who arrived on the beach saw the man beating the octopus to death.
Photos of the incident outraged other divers who are familiar with octopus lairs and watch for the animals. Divers petitioned the panel to outlaw octopus hunting or to create marine preserves where they'll be safe.
Current rules allow a person with a valid state fishing license to harvest one giant Pacific octopus per day in most areas of Puget Sound.
The commission is weighing the topic at its meeting Friday and Saturday in Olympia.


text: PITTSBURGH, PA (May 18, 2011) – With increased traffic and the heavy summer travel months just ahead, the Allegheny County Airport Authority is reminding travelers to arrive at Pittsburgh International Airport at least 90 minutes to two hours before the scheduled departure of their flight. The Airport Authority reports that there are two security checkpoints at Pittsburgh International Airport. The Main Checkpoint -- on the Transit Level of the Landside Terminal – is open 24 hours, while the Alternate Checkpoint – located just outside of the Ticketing Level of the Landside Terminal – is open from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. "Our passenger traffic has steadily increased over the past year," said Bradley D. Penrod, Executive Director and CEO, of the Allegheny County Airport Authority. "We have been very busy at the security checkpoints at certain times of the day. We are asking passengers to allow enough time for the security process and be aware of security issues." Passengers arriving at the airport and going through the checkpoint are reminded that if they are not checking luggage, they can print their boarding pass at home or use boarding pass kiosks at the airport to avoid lines at the ticket counter. To expedite the screening process, passengers are reminded to follow the Transportation Security Administration's 3-1-1 rule for liquid or gels in carry-on luggage. The 3-1-1 rule is: no more than 3 ounces of a liquid or gel in a container; all containers must be packed in a clear 1-quart, zip top bag; and only 1 bag per passenger. The Allegheny County Airport Authority urges travelers to visit the TSA's website at www.tsa.gov prior to traveling. Understanding the security process greatly expedites the screening process for all.

Sorry I don't have any advice. This thread has been great because our 6 mo LO is the same. I nurse to her sleep and she wakes up every 2-3 hours to nurse and absolutely will not take a paci. The funny thing is when we began cosleeping at 2 months she was great! She was sleeping 5-6 hours straight that I was worrying about her NOT eating so I know her body can handle it. Anyway, it doesn't really disrupt my sleep... but eventually I want it to end (probably between 9-12 mos we'll have to work on it).
thanks ladies, I will check out that Dr. Jay Gordon website.
