China won't abandon N. Korea over nuclear issueThe New York Times | March 10,2013BEIJING Chinas foreign minister said Saturday that Beijing would not abandon North Korea, reiterating Chinas long-standing position that dialogue, not sanctions, was the best way to persuade the North to abandon its nuclear weapons.
At a news conference during the National Peoples Congress, the foreign minister, Yang Jiechi, suggested that Chinas support for tougher U.N. sanctions against North Korea should not be interpreted as a basic change in Chinas attitude.
We always believe that sanctions are not the end of the Security Council actions, nor are sanctions the fundamental way to resolve the relevant issues, said Yang, who addressed foreign policy questions from Chinese and foreign reporters.
But the careful remarks masked the unparalleled plain-spoken discussions among Chinas officials and analysts about the value of supporting North Korea even as it continues to develop nuclear weapons and unleashes new threats to attack the United States and South Korea.
In the aftermath of North Koreas third nuclear test in February, China last week joined the United States to push for tougher U.N. sanctions against the North. Although it remained to be seen whether China would actually enforce the sanctions, its decision to support them also raised the possibility that it might take even bolder steps against its recalcitrant ally.
The clearest sign of Chinas exasperation with North Korea came on Thursday at a side session of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference, an advisory group to the government that was open to the press.
Delegates to the conference, according to a senior Communist Party official, Qiu Yuanping, talked about whether to keep or dump North Korea and debated whether China, as a major power, should fight or talk with the North.
In the annals of Communist Party decorum, Qius description of the spirited debate was quite extraordinary. She made the remarks in the presence of reporters at a session entitled Friendship with Foreign Countries that was attended by several Chinese ambassadors who were visiting Beijing from their posts abroad.
As deputy director of the Communist Partys Central Foreign Affairs Office, a secretive body that gives foreign policy advice to top leaders, Qiu usually opts for discretion. The admission by a senior Communist Party official that North Korea is a nettlesome neighbor is especially striking because China conducts its relations with North Korea chiefly through the comradely auspices of the party, rather than the Foreign Ministry.
Just days before Qius remarks, a prominent Communist Party analyst, Deng Yuwen, a deputy editor of Study Times, the journal of the Central Party School of the Communist Party, wrote that China should give up on North Korea.
Writing in The Financial Times late last month, Deng asked what would happen if the United States launched a pre-emptive attack on North Korea: Would China not be obliged to help North Korea based on our `alliance. Would that not be drawing fire upon ourselves?
Moreover, Deng wrote, there was no hope that North Korea would reform its economy and become a normal country, a path urged in the past several years by the Chinese government. Even if the Norths new ruler, Kim Jong Un, wanted reform, the entrenched ruling elite would absolutely not allow him to do so, because they knew reform would result in the overthrow of the government, Deng said.
Dengs analysis was widely read, in part, because he has a habit of expressing provocative views that meld into the mainstream. Last year, he wrote an article that appeared in the online version of Caijing, a business magazine, that said failures had outweighed achievements in the decade-long rule of President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao. After the article appeared, the era of Hu and Wen was often referred to as the lost decade.
For all the concern about North Korea since the nuclear test in mid-February, there have been no concrete signs that China plans to take any action against the North beyond the U.N. sanctions.
Traders in Jilin province, which abuts North Korea in northeastern China, said there was not a noticeable slowdown of goods passing across the border. It is possible that there will be a crackdown on smugglers, but that has not happened yet, said an official in the Yanbian Prefecture in Jilin province, where much of the smuggling takes place.
It is doubtful that China will reinforce the U.N. sanctions by imposing penalties of its own, said Cai Jian, the deputy director of the Center for Korean Studies at Fudan University in Shanghai.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

- Abstract
- Since its beginnings in the 1960s, the internet has grown steadily, metamorphosised in many surprising ways, and now is central to Australian society and media. As a relatively new medium, we still know little about its histories. This article discusses the emerging field of internet histories, which as yet has surprisingly few connections with the relatively well-established enterprise of media histories. We review the development of the internet in Australia, discuss international scholarly work on internet histories and, in the context of this special issue, consider the research agenda that lies ahead.

Bill would move Vt. primary to early AugustThe Associated Press | April 09,2013MONTPELIER — The Vermont Senate is considering a bill that would move up the state's primary election to early August.
If passed by the full Legislature, the 2014 primary would be held on Aug. 5.
Historically, Vermont's primary was held in mid-September, but prior to the 2010 election the date was moved to late August to ensure the Secretary of State's office has time to produce general election ballots in time to meet federal deadlines, including sending absentee ballots to overseas service members.
The bill would also require town and city clerks to report primary and general election results the day of the election and it would move up the filing deadline for major-party candidates to mid-May rather than early June.
The bill is scheduled for debate in the Senate on Wednesday.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermont hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for 2017 will be available Dec.

Search for missing snowmobiler suspended
Authorities believe snowmobiler broke through ice on St. Croix River
Authorities have suspended the search for a snowmobiler they believe broke through the ice and was swept down a remote part of the St. Croix River.
Pine County authorities got a 911 call just after 6:30 p.m. Saturday that a snowmobiler had broken through the ice on the river on the Minnesota-Wisconsin border. Two other snowmobilers told authorities they were riding on the frozen river in the dark when the victim hit a large patch of open water. He was thrown from his machine and disappeared.
The search resumed Sunday morning, but Chief Deputy Steven Blackwell told WCCO Radio it had to be suspended about 12:30 p.m. due to dangerous conditions that included turbulent water and rough terrain.
The victim's name has not been released.

The City of Goliad issued a voluntary water conservation alert to residents on July 30. The city pumps an average of 650,000 gallons per day to its customers. All of that is now being pumped from the city's lone operating well located on Chilton Street.
"Our screens are 100 percent blocked," Gaskamp said during council's Aug. 12 meeting. "We're going to have to go down with acid, take a brush on a drill rig and brush the screens, come back out and camera the well again to see if they are clean and see if they can withstand the cleaning to get the calcium buildup off of them."
Gaskamp said the maximum cost for the repair would be approximately $60,000. He said if the screens are irreparable, the well would be cemented and another one drilled.
Thompson asked if drilling a new well would be a better option.
"You're looking at more money," Gaskamp said. "Probably about $200,000 and you're looking at about another two months."
"We have to do it and immediately look at a process to drill a new one," Worley said. "We don't have a choice. That is all there is to it."
Machacek said she met with SARA officials to seek possible financial assistance with the well.
"They are going to help us with $15,000 for community assistance," Machacek said. "They suggest we go ahead and drill the new well."
Gaskamp also recommended pulling the Chilton Street well.
City council unanimously approved placing on the Nov. 4 ballot the adoption of an ordinance to utilize Goliad Municipal Development District funds for repair and maintenance of city streets.
The approved ordinance ordinance will order and provide notice of a special election for the use of taxes at the rate of one-fourth of one percent from the MDD.
"It puts it to the voters. It's not just us making the decision," Councilwoman Cheryl Worley said. "As much as it is done, it can be undone once things are back in shape. It doesn't have to be a permanent thing."
"This would expedite some of the street repairs we need right now," Mayor Anna Lopez Machacek said. "It would help us play catch-up."
Councilwoman Liz Holsey made the motion to adopt the ordinance. Worley seconded the motion.
Council approved the purchase of a floating aerator costing $19,754 for the wastewater plant.
Worley moved to approve the purchase and the motion was seconded by Holsey.
Council unanimously agreed to remove from the table consideration of engaging an outside auditor. The city currently uses the services of Roloff, Hnatek & Co.
"Based on the recommendation of our financial consultant, Sandra Thaxton, feels at this time the city should keep the auditing firm for the simple reason that in the transitional period that we're having here, we need some kind of consistency. We can't go out and change everything at one time."
Worley made the motion to remove the item from the table. Her motion was seconded by councilman Joey Thompson.
Council later unanimously approved Roloff, Hnatek & Co. for the audit year.
Worley made the motion and it was seconded by Holsey.
Council discussed the number of members of the MDD board. Thompson has questioned why the board requires nine members and has requested reducing it to seven.
The board currently has six members and council has tabled approving three additional members.

individuals protein requirement increases in response to exercise, then changes in protein metabolism will become apparent. When the body is in a homeostatic state, protein synthesis is equal to protein degradation and the protein requirement of the body for tissue maintenance is satisfied. The most common way to detect changes in protein metabolism is to assess nitrogen balance of the body.
Positive nitrogen balance occurs when the total nitrogen excreted in the urine, feces and sweat is less than the total nitrogen ingested. Positive nitrogen balance must exist for new tissue to be synthesized. When dietary protein intake or total energy intake is inadequate to maintain tissues total nitrogen balance, negative nitrogen balance occurs and new tissue is unable to be synthesized. When the body is in nitrogen balance, protein and energy intake is sufficient to maintain tissue protein needs and the amounts of nitrogen entering and exiting the body are equal.
The results of nitrogen balance studies on endurance athletes indicates that these athletes have protein requirements that exceed the USRDA of 0.8 g/kg/day. A study found that endurance athletes (defined as training for at least 12 hours per week for at least 5 years) require 1.37 g/kg/day of protein to maintain nitrogen balance compared to 0.73 g/kg/day for sedentary individuals.
It appears that weight training can also lead to a daily protein requirement that exceeds the current USRDA. It has been found that 2.0 to 2.2 g/kg/day of protein was barely sufficient to maintain nitrogen balance during moderate intensity weight training. Furthermore, weightlifter's protein requirements increased proportionally to training intensity. Research has shown that 2.0 to 2.6 g/kg/day of protein are required for periods of very intense weight training, whereas protein intakes of 2.0 g/kg/day maintained a positive nitrogen balance during periods of less intense weight training.
It is clear that athletes need to consume more protein than the current USRDA for 0.8 g/kg/day in order to maintain nitrogen balance. Conversely, since the requirements of carbohydrates, and overall calories also increase with physical activity, the recommended proportion of calories from protein does not change significantly. With a calorie sufficient diet, protein requirement values needed to maintain positive nitrogen balance of both weight trained and endurance trained athletes constitutes intakes of 12% to 20% of total daily calories.
Average consumption for U.S. is 100 grams/day
Protein requirements
10% to 20% of the diet should be protein for sedentary individuals
40 grams/day for females
55-70 grams/day or 0.8 grams/kg body weight for males
Recommended protein intake for athletes or physically active people (Paul 1989)
Protein and carbohydrate requirements increase somewhat
more calories
ratio of protein to carbohydrates does not change
12% to 20% of the total calories
Increases slightly during an increase or change of training
Surprisingly protein requirements for endurance athletes are greater than weight trained athletes
Protein requirements increase when calories are insufficient
Weight Loss
Obese individuals eating a slightly higher protein diet (25% of calories from protein), lost significantly more weight and body fat than those eating a slightly lower protein diet (12% of calories from protein). (Skov, et. al., 1999)
Overweight women consuming a diet with a carbohydrate/protein ratio of 1.4 (125 g protein/day) lost more weight and body fat than those eating a ratio of 3.5 (68 g protein/day).

February 12, 2014 —
FORESTBURGH, NY — The Forestburgh Playhouse announced on February 7 that longtime producer Norman Duttweiler is stepping down effective immediately and will be replaced by Franklin Trapp, who has long experience with the theater, and also experience in law. To facilitate the transition, Duttweiler will stay on as managing director through the 2014 season.
Trapp's association with the playhouse dates to his first appearance in 2001. Through 2004, he appeared in featured rolls in many productions including "Titanic," "Ragtime" and "My Fair Lady." He also wrote and directed various productions.
In 2006, Trapp took a hiatus from the theater to attend law school, and took a position with a law firm in Atlanta, GA. Trapp, 39, is currently in the process of relocating to Sullivan County with his partner, John Bubb, and their three dogs.
Trapp intends to take a hands-on approach to managing the 68-year-old theatrical landmark in Sullivan County. "My theatre career essentially began at the Forestburgh Playhouse. Like countless other young actors, the playhouse afforded me the chance to grow as an artist. Some of my fondest memories are from my time at the playhouse. I gained so much from my time there that it just feels right to return, nurture and grow the legacy of the Forestburgh Playhouse."
After running the Forestburgh Playhouse for the past 22 years, Duttweiler has become one of the longest serving summer theatre producers in the Northeast, and has become something of a summer theatre institution himself. "Franklin Trapp is the perfect person to lead the Forestburgh Playhouse for the next 22 years or more. He knows the theatre, he knows the business, and above all, he knows and loves the Forestburgh Playhouse," said Duttweiler.
The 68th season of the Forestburgh Playhouse begins in June with Agatha Christie's "A Murder is Announced." Complete information on tickets and the schedule is available online at www.FBplayhouse.org [2].

new Illinois Learning Standards - Math/ELA
Model Mathematics Curriculum
The Illinois State Board of Education has been charged by the Illinois 97th General Assembly to implement Public Act 97-704. The State Board of Education is to coordinate the acquisition, adaptation, and development of middle and high school Mathematics Curriculum Models to aid school districts and teachers in implementing Common Core Mathematics State Standards for all students. Public Act 97-704 required representation from statewide educational organizations and stakeholders. A committee consisting of a middle school mathematics team and a high school mathematics team was created to address this charge.
The charge was to develop model middle and high school course designs that demonstrated effective student pathways to mathematics-standards attainment by graduation. The curriculum units were created so districts may choose to adopt or adapt the models in lieu of developing their own mathematics curriculum. Unit outlines were developed in accordance with the information from the November 2012 PARCC Model Content Frameworks.
Each middle school grade level and high school course contains a sequence of units designed to address all standards for that level in a cohesive manner. The Illinois State Board of Education was charged with coordinating the acquisition, adaptation and development of middle and high school Mathematics Curriculum Models to aid in implementing the CCSSM. The initial phase had a deadline of March 1, 2013. The curricular units were designed in accordance with the November 2012 PARCC Model Content Frameworks and all PARCC and CCSSM materials available at the time.
After completing the expectations specified in Public Act 97-704, ISBE has expanded the Model Curriculum Development Project to include scope-and-sequences and units for grades K-5, and assessments, model lessons, and lesson documents for grades K-8 and Integrated Math 1, 2 and 3 high school courses.
Each grade level and high school course contains a sequence of units designed to address all standards for that level in a cohesive manner. The curricular units were designed in accordance with the November 2012 PARCC Model Content Frameworks, the PARCC Evidence tables for the Performance-Based-Assessment/Mid-Year-Assessment (PBA/MYA) and the End of Year Assessment (EOY), and any other PARCC or CCSSM materials available at this time.
- Teacher to Teacher Professional Development Series
- Illinois High School Course Clusters (4/30/15)
This document provides a quick glance at the Traditional Course Sequence (Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2) and the Integrated Course Sequence (Math I, Math II, and Math III) by listing the cluster headings for the standards assigned to each course of each mathematics pathway
- High School Mathematics Standards with PARCC Emphasis Coding(4/30/15)
This chart provides a visual representation of the standards assigned to each course of the Traditional mathematics pathway and the Integrated mathematics pathway. PARCC emphasis coding categorizes the major content, supporting content, and additional content for each course and allows for comparison of standards across the two pathways.

- Common Core Math Models - Testimonial Video (5:10) (9/17/13)
- Introducing the ISBE Model Common Core Math Curriculum: Grades 6-12 Webinar Video (43:31) (4/22/13)
Below is a list showing the number of units developed for each grade level.
For each grade level and Math 1, Math 2, and Math 3 there is a scope and sequence. The scope and sequence list the unit, core standards, supporting standards and the approximate time frame.
Listed below are the contents of each unit plan:
- Each unit has an approximate time frame as a guideline for planning the unit. Time frames were based upon the priority expectations outlined in the PARCC model content frameworks.
- "Connections to Previous Learning" describes any conceptual understandings, procedural skill and fluency expectations, or applications students have encountered either in prior grade levels or in prior units within this grade level. All the ideas mentioned here are described as foundational for this particular unit of study.
- "Focus on the Unit" denotes the conceptual understandings, procedural skill and fluency expectations, or applications students should be studying within this particular unit of study.
- "Connections to Subsequent Learning" describes how the ideas of this unit will be extended in future units for this grade/course level, or in future grade/course levels.
- "Understandings" are statements about the big ideas of this unit. They are key concepts students must grasp prior to addressing procedural skill and fluency expectations and applied tasks. Students may exhibit these understandings using a variety of modes of representation, as appropriate to the chosen standards. For example, they may use a combination of tactile or virtual manipulatives or tools, visuals, tables and/or charts, written symbols, oral and/or written language, or real world situations to demonstrate their understanding of chosen concepts.
- "Essential Questions" (that relate to the essential understandings) have been provided. Teachers may use these as guiding questions for the development of the unit, as tools for assessment of student understanding, or as instructional reference points.
- "Mathematical Practices" In the unit plan examples of the mathematical practice standards are clarified in the context of this particular unit. Teachers may use this section as a guideline for observing students' proficiency with the 8 practices, and administrators may use these statements to guide them when conducting classroom observations for instruction in mathematics. Although it is possible to observe any of these practices within a unit of study, certain practices were selected as particularly appropriate for instruction within this unit.
- "Prerequisite Skills/ Concepts" Specific prerequisite skills or concepts addressed in previous units of this grade/course or prior levels, which lead to the skills and concepts addressed in this unit, are listed here. Teachers may use this portion of the unit plan to design pre-assessments for this unit of study.
- "Advanced Skills/Concepts" delineates ideas for differentiating when students have mastered content for this unit. It may include extension ideas for these concepts that are within the grade level expectations or beyond the grade level expectations. It is expected that teachers will use this portion for only some students. Although the goal is to focus on grade level expectations so that the focus and coherence inherent in the design of these standards is honored, when appropriate, students who excel should be encouraged to think beyond the standards.
- "Knowledge" targets are based upon factual knowledge. The expectations are a Level 1 according to Norm Webb's Depth of Knowledge framework and Bloom's Taxonomy. This includes recall of information, such as facts, definitions, and terms.
- "Skill" targets include procedures students can follow or strategies they can use. These can include single-step or multi-step processes, depending upon the expectations of the standards in the unit. Skills are verbs that show what students can do in mathematics. They may be observed through performance or by examining student work samples.
- "Critical Terms" are terms students are expected to master within this grade level throughout the year. Not only should students be able to comprehend or define these terms, but they should use them when constructing arguments and critiquing others in both oral and written formats.
- "Supplemental Terms" can include terms that students may have learned in previous grade levels or units of study, or terms that they will be exposed to in this unit, but expected to master in future units or grade levels.
These documents are a guide to assist districts in making the 3 shifts necessary for Common Core implementation: (From AchievetheCore.org)
Focus strongly where the standards focus.
The standards call for a greater focus in mathematics. Rather than racing to cover topics in today's mile—wide, inch—deep curriculum, teachers use the power of the eraser and significantly narrow and deepen the way time and energy is spent in the math classroom. They focus deeply on the major work of each grade so that students can gain strong foundations: solid conceptual understanding, a high degree of procedural skill and fluency, and the ability to apply the math they know to solve problems inside and outside the math classroom.
Coherence - think across grades, and link to major topics within grades
Thinking across grades: The Standards are designed around coherent progressions from grade to grade. Principals and teachers carefully connect the learning across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years. Teachers can begin to count on deep conceptual understanding of core content and build on it. Each standard is not a new event, but an extension of previous learning. Instead of allowing additional or supporting topics to detract from the focus of the grade, these topics can serve the grade level focus. For example, instead of data displays as an end in themselves, they support grade--‐level word problems.
Rigor: in major topics pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application with equal intensity.
Conceptual understanding: The Standards call for conceptual understanding of key concepts, such as place value and ratios. Teachers support students' ability to access concepts from a number of perspectives so that students are able to see math as more than a set of mnemonics or discrete procedures.
Procedural skill and fluency: The Standards call for speed and accuracy in calculation. Teachers structure class time and/or homework time for students to practice core functions such as single--‐digit multiplication so that students have access to more complex concepts and procedures.
Application: The Standards call for students to use math flexibly for applications. Teachers provide opportunities for students to apply math in context. Teachers in content areas outside of math, particularly science, ensure that students are using math to make meaning of and access content.

Hi All,
I gave birth to a 31 week old on Jan 6th. He weighed 3lbs 9oz and was in the NICU for 4 weeks. We were able to start nursing the week or so before discharge and things were great. However, it has been a roller coaster since then. He now weighs 7lbs 10oz and I have been breastfeeding exclusively since we have been home the last 7 weeks However, I am in incredible pain and I am worried he is no longer getting enough. I have only given an occasional bottle of EBM but his suck has completely changed. He seems to chomp down on the breast and despite support from lactation consultants I can't seem to correct the problem. He also seems less content after feedings. Pediatrician said last weight gain was the lowest allowable (5oz in 11 days) and I am so stressed. I am so proud that this baby has had nothing but breastmilk so far but I am afraid I am losing the battle. I am trying to pump in between but am lucky to get an ounce at a time. In addition the little guy has some reflux/GI issues we are dealing with.
My nipples are raw and blistered and I am afraid I might have to give him bottles for a while (I have some frozen EBM). But my biggest fear is that our nursing relationship is ending. I am in so much pain and have so much anxiety as feeding time approaches. I feel so defeated. I don't know how I should proceed and I am beyond exhausted. How do I know when to to let this go? How will I adjust if this happens without feeling like I somehow failed? In addition, I have Crohn's disease and my family, while supportive, is worried about my health and thinks I need to be proud of the 11 weeks of breastmilk he received and move on to formula. Thank you for any advice and support you can provide.

Food labels: Major ingredient is confusionOctober 06,2013Most visits to the grocery store these days leave me shaking my head in disbelief. Im not referring to breaches of cellphone etiquette Im referring to the bewildering complexity of food labels.
It should be simple. Labels for fresh, natural food should say fresh and natural, and labels for frosted sugar-bomb cereals in neon colors should say ... well, what exactly should they say?
Some say multi-grain or a source of dietary fiber or some other catchphrase that makes these products sound good for you.
Consider some of the words used to identify our edibles and what they mean or dont mean. The term certified organic is a good starting place. It has a real definition, created and enforced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture: grown or produced without the use of chemical fertilizers or additives.
That should be clear, right? But there is always wiggle room. Organic means that the product is 95 percent organic or higher. Made with organic ingredients means at least 70 percent organic, and some labels just say made with organic oats.
This gets more complicated when you consider that the organic label doesnt say anything about how workers are treated and paid, or about living conditions for animals, or about how far the food traveled to get to our table.
In one possible scenario, New England organic yogurt could be made from organic milk from New Zealand processed into powdered milk, shipped to this country, reconstituted here and cultured into yogurt.
Organic? Yes, but not fitting our image of happy cows grazing on Vermont hillsides. To meet rising demand, organic fruits and vegetables are increasingly grown in China where labor is cheap and oversight is lax.
One telling food label reads made with real fruit. Close scrutiny of some fruit beverages reveals up to 10 percent fruit juice, with the remainder being water, sugar and flavorings. There was even a lawsuit over a strawberry fruit roll-up made with real fruit which contained pear concentrate but nothing remotely resembling a strawberry.
Meat and poultry labeling is even more opaque, with such claims as free range, pasture-raised, grass-fed and all natural. These inspire visions of quaint family farms with clucking hens and cows named Daisy and Buttercup.
But free range means only that the animals have the opportunity to go outside and says nothing about the specifics of that opportunity. A huge factory farm housing 100,000 uncaged birds can have two small openings in the wall leading to a small fenced concrete pad. The birds are terrified to leave the security of the flock and dont go near these strange openings, but because the opportunity is there they are free range chickens.
And grass-fed beef may never see a pasture but be packed into dusty feed lots and fed grass shipped from far away.
In recent years consumers rebelled against the revolting product that the beef packing industry refers to as lean finely textured beef. It consists of beef trimmings and scraps heated in a centrifuge to separate out the fats and then exposed to ammonia gas to kill bacteria.
The creamy glop, widely referred to as pink slime, was used as up to 25 percent filler in hamburger and other processed meats until public outcry cut back its use. Yet this food product can still be described as natural.
So what does natural really mean? Your guess is as good as mine. In theory natural food has no artificial preservatives, coloring or ingredients. But all natural products may still contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), high-fructose corn syrup, highly processed and refined ingredients and be loaded with sugar, fat and calories.
What is a conscientious eater to do? Cultivate good relationships with farmers and growers and know where your food comes from. Shop at farmers markets, grow your own, and lobby Congress to create labeling requirements when Congress figures out how to function.
