- a mugful of American long grain rice (about 200g/8oz)
Fill a roomy saucepan with water, bring to the boil and tip in a heaped teaspoon of salt – the water will bubble furiously. Pour in the rice, stir once and return to the boil, then turn the heat down a little so that the water is boiling steadily, but not vigorously.
Boil uncovered, without stirring (this makes for sticky rice) for 10 minutes. Lift some out with a slotted spoon and nibble a grain or two. If they're too crunchy, cook for another minute and taste again. They should be tender but with a little bite.
Drain the rice into a large sieve and rinse by pouring over a kettle of very hot water. Leave to drain well, then tip into a warm serving dish. Serve the rice as it is, or fork through a little butter and parsley to jazz it up.

It is great to read someone else's recipe that is exactly the same as mine.
Compare this with the recipe - also on BBCgoodfood - from Jane Hornby which relies on the rice absorbing the correct amount of water and then being "forked" to make it "fluffy"!
This is the same as process that happens inside a "rice cooker" and results in horrible rice grains fused together that need "forking" - i.e. physical manipulation - to separate the grains. Absolutely terrible!
This is a very common method to cook rice in India......You could try adding a few green cardamoms to the rice whilst the water is boiling to make it fragrant.....If one is using long grained rice,adding a whole peeled red onion to the pot of boiling water and rice shall result in non-sticky rice,ensure that the onion is removed before serving...
Having gone to Chinese cookery classes many years ago, this method never fails.
Use a non stick pan, (I always rinse my rice) no matter what amount of rice you put in the pan, always add enough cold water to cover 1 inch above the level of the rice, (no salt added).
With the pot uncovered, heat the rice on medium heat and just when there are bubble holes appearing in the rice, place on a tight fitting lid (that does not have vent holes in).
Turn down the heat for 10/12 minutes, the rice should be cooked with no moisture remaining.
I often make double the quantity of rice for to make a stir-fry the next day, or to put in the freezer for another day.
Ohhh...do I miss Lotus leaves living in Finland. Used to buy them at a Chinese supermarket in Birmingham, and steam the rice in those, using a bamboo steamer.
Went to Asia (China?Indonesia?Philippines? - don't remember) a few years ago when I still lived in UK, and bought a big pack of dried ones. They'll last for donkey's.
Much fun and merriment with Heathrow customs...;-)
Basically, just wash a cupful of rice (soak it, if you want "glutinous"), soak a lotus leaf in boied water for 3 hours, pack the rice in it, fold it up, pop it in a steamer (bamboo's best!), steam it over a moderate simmer for an hour. To die for!
It's the starch that makes it sticky.
If you don't want sticky rice*, simply put it into a sieve (I said 'sieve', not 'colander' ;-)
Stick it under the cold tap and using your thumb on the tap's outlet, form a decent jet. Hold the sieve under the jet, moving it around, nach, until the outflow of water goes from white to clear. The white is the starch. That's what makes it go sticky. Then cook as normal.
*If you DO, see the link below (scroll down a bit). Don't wash, DO stir!
Personally, I used to make "Glutinous rice" wrapped in dried - soaked Lotus leaves in a bamboo steamer. If you're knocking up a bit of Chinese nosh, there's little to beat the aroma. Unfortunately, I can't get them in Finland :(
I was taught a similar method many years ago by a Cajun cook. Instead of salt, though, she added a tbsp vegetable oil and a tbsp vinegar. The rice is rinsed thoroughly after it is cooked, so any extra starch is drained/rinsed off. (Basmati and jasmine rice are starchier, so might want a bit of a rinse beforehand). Turns out beautifully every time. I was told to cook it for 16 minutes. Not sure why, and I expect it varies with altitude, but as Cajuns live close to sea level, that should be about right for much of the UK. Test it sooner and stop cooking if it seems ready before 16 min. If sodium is an issue for you, then this approach might be preferable to adding salt.
I use the Delia method with Basmati rice and it never fails to produce non sticky boiled rice with absolutely no trouble. Put a measured amount of rice into a large saucepan and add twice the volume of cold water. Bring to the boil, stir once to separate the grains, cover and turn cooker down to lowest simmer for 15 minutes.
Do not lift the lid. After 15 mins exactly, lift the lid and tilt the pan. If any liquid is present put lid back on and cook for another minute or two. Turn off heat and cover pan with cloth for 2 minutes.
No! Never pour boiling water over cooked rice! It'll be swollen, loose and rubbery like the 'quick cook' stuff they sell in supermarkets.
Rinse the rice before it's cooked if you don't want sticky rice (why wouldn't you want the rice to be sticky?) For good results, use a rice cooker or a microwave and it's guaranteed not to burn.
Ideally, use a pan, a low heat, the perfect amount of water so it's not wet and doesn't burn to the pan. Use a tight a lid; you can leave it to steam like this for a while if needed - you should get 'holes' on the surface of the rice when it's cooked. Don't open it too early! Then eat it - without sieving, without washing with boiling water and without adding butter.
Pasta: High heat in a filled, open pan with salt
Rice: low heat, just enough water, no salt and keep it closed until it's cooked!
If you want to make a perfect rice in the microwave then follow this recipe it always works for me.
Wash Rice, and place in a pirex dish or microwavable dish and fill with the rice. cover the rice in boiling water until it has covered the rice completely and fill until the water is an inch above the rice. Add a knob of butter and stir once.
Cover in clingfilm piercing the top for ventilation and cook on fill power for 12 minutes (in a 800wat oven) add another 2 minutes if using a lower wattage microwave.
when cooked remove clingfilm and leave for 1 minute.
Rice is now ready to serve and tastes beautiful,
I usually wash, and then drain and let dry basmati or long grain which ever rice I am using, I then put a teaspoon of veg oil in the saucepan, heat it, then add the rice and gently turn into the oil, add double the quantity of boiling water, cover and bring back to boil, turn down to lowest heat for ten minutes, turn off heat, remove lid and cover with folded tea towel, replace lid and leave for a few minutes for steam to be absorbed by the tea towel, then fluff up with a fork. You can add salt at the time of adding water if liked, but I opt for the healthy choice.

State Board Moving Ahead in the Race to the Top
ISBE Begins Shaping Application in Competition for $4.35 Billion in Federal Funds
SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois State Board of Education today gave preliminary approval to staff to move forward with drafting the state's Race to the Top Application. Board members are instructing staff to begin developing legislation to establish Illinois to be in a better position to compete in the U.S. Department of Education's (USED) $4.35 billion Race to the Top (RT3) competition.
"We have a solid foundation to be competitive in the Race to the Top competition since the State Board began their larger reform effort nearly two years ago with a review of our learning standards and an emphasis on data," said State Superintendent of Education, Christopher A. Koch. "We know we need to work very hard to improve in some areas, particularly in our work with struggling schools, but Race to the Top is really just accelerating us in the direction the Board has already set."
The $4.35 billion Race to the Top funding is intended to drive educational innovation nationwide and the U.S. Department of Education has clearly signaled that for states to be competitive, reforms must be system-wide, innovative, and ambitious. The RT3 further requires that states demonstrate considerable reform around four areas: 1) internationally benchmarked standards and assessments; 2) data systems to support instruction; 3) great teachers and leaders; and 4) intervention in the lowest-performing schools and districts.
Illinois is well positioned in the standards and assessments area through its ongoing work with the American Diploma Project and the Common Core State Standards Initiative. These initiatives are aimed at driving student achievement and preparing them for success by developing learning standards that are comparable to those of the highest performing countries from around the world.
Additionally, Illinois is currently developing a Longitudinal Data System (LDS) that will collect and maintain high quality individual staff and student data from pre-school through college and careers that is linked with districts across the state. The state received a $9 million federal grant earlier this year, the maximum amount, to develop this system. One of the criteria that will be looked at by USED is the ability to link student performance to teachers and administrators. Lawmakers passed legislation earlier this year that will allow the LDS make those links between student data and teachers and administrators.
In the area of great teachers and leaders Illinois will need to take significant steps and will require new legislation to move forward. Illinois will need to make comprehensive changes to how teachers and principals are evaluated, and must be able to tie teacher and principal evaluations to student growth. The State Board of Education will also be examining the certification process as well as working closely with higher education on the redesign of teacher education programs. Illinois will also need to expand opportunities for alternative certification programs, and focus on ensuring highly effective teachers and principals work in the schools where they are most needed.
In the final RT3 area, improving struggling schools Illinois has made some initial gains by enacting legislation that allows for the increase in charter schools. However, more extensive reform is needed which may include strategies such as public-private partnerships to turnaround underperforming schools, using available state and federal resources to encourage districts to shut-down chronically low-performing schools and replace them with high quality options, or possibly utilizing RT3 funds to encourage districts to reorganize or consolidate.
"It's important that Illinois move forward now because of the tight timelines involved in what is going to be a major reform movement within our state," said Robin Steans, Executive Director of Advance Illinois."The State Board can certainly set the wheels in motion, but legislators, business, labor groups and other stakeholders must be involved to ensure we have a highly competitive application that will allow us to make fundamental change in our education system."
The RT3 will be awarded in two rounds. Phase I applications must be completed by December of this year and Phase II applications must be completed in late spring of 2010. Illinois intends to prepare a highly competitive application for Phase I of the RT3 competition.

And I have said time and again, being a JW is the toughest thing in this world, cuz this world hates truth.
All abcd exposed was the fact that some people cant man up and blame themselves for why they are baptized too early, or why they are disfellowshipped. Disfellowshipping is a biblically legal course of action. God OK'D it, not the governing body. A person who chooses to get baptized well knows the consequences of they are disfellowshipped. So to.hear a person cry foul abt not being able to talk to their friends and family because they chose to leave God, is crazy to me.
On one hand we have God, the other a loved one who turned their back on God. Who would u choose to stand by?
I rest my case.

By Helena Rodriguez: Local columnist
I never wanted to drown Little Miss Merry Christmas, but I was accused of plotting this unthinkable crime when my headline came rolling out of our newsroom printer.
On this fateful day in the early 1990s, my then colleague Janet Bresenham came waving a piece of paper I had just printed for our Sunday edition of the Portales News-Tribune. The huge black and white letters read: "Little Miss Merry Christmas to be Drowned."
I almost died of laughter and embarrassment, knowing that I would never live this one down amongst my fellow journalists. The headline was supposed to say: "Little Miss Merry Christmas to be Crowned" but after a long work week and with a simple mistroke on the keyboard I had inadvertently pressed the "D" instead of the "C" key. I was a victim of finger fatigue. Yet my colleagues, Carlon Bennett and Janet, accused me of having a subconscious desire to drown Little Miss Merry Christmas.
Thank God this headline was caught before it hit the streets. But over the past 17 years of my journalism career, I've had a few newspaper bloopers that didn't get caught in time. I've also heard funny stories from editors about other newspaper bloopers and I enjoy watching Jay Leno's collection of headline bloopers from across the country.
I have another headline blooper that tops the one above and did make print. It's one I am so embarrassed and ashamed to admit and one which actually made the Columbia Journalism Review. Don't ask me what I was thinking that day or even my copy editors, who also missed this major headline blooper, which read: "Muslims, Christians, Jews Celebrate Easter Differently."
That one took a lot of courage for me to share. But as I look back, we were seriously overworked during those days. We didn't complain about the overtime pay and our editors permitted it because back then we operated under the philosophy, "If you take the time to write it down and bring it in, no matter how insignificant the event, then by golly, we'll publish it!"
There were times, however, when the workload did catch up to us. And this led us to do something one Fourth of July that backfired on us. Our newspaper always went to press early on holidays. However, we were an afternoon newspaper back then and were told the newspapers would not be delivered until very late that night. So Carlon and I got a clever idea. We figured that all fireworks photos look the same, so why not use a file photo from last year? So a file photo ran, but the caption below said something like "Portales residents enjoyed a colorful display of fireworks tonight."
Imagine our horror when we found out there was a change of plans and newspapers hit the doorsteps before the fireworks show. The next day one of our loyal readers said, "Wow, how did ya'll do that? Did ya'll get a preview of the fireworks?" This was not a great moment in small-town newspaper history. Never again!
One newspaper blooper occurred when I worked for the Hobbs Daily News-Sun in Hobbs. Our photographer took a colorful photo of a ripe red chile pepper plant. The problem was the caption he wrote, which read "These chiles will be cut and later made into mouthwatering dishes like chile rellenos." A faithful reader, Irene Salgado, called our newspaper editor, Manny Marquez, and chided us, saying, "You don't use red chile to make chile rellenos. You use green chile."
When I worked for the Abilene Reporter-News in Abilene, Texas, our editor told us about an overzealous copy editor who was told to take out the words yesterday, today or tomorrow from any story and replace them with the specific day of the week so as not to confuse our readers about when something happened. However, the copy editor was not told that direct quotes were an exception. As a result, a quote from a politician which was suppose to say "I wasn't born yesterday" came out in the newspaper saying, "I wasn't born Tuesday."

Yeah there's nothing wrong with not making trades but as I said I don't think he really understands how to judge a trade offer perhaps. The new dudes on here such as Soupastars and Dzwonsson have been learning throughout the year how to play the league to their strengths because we try to educate a bit without giving too much away
But like I said he rejects trades with disdain as if they aren't even worth looking at. As I recall I offered him Gasol and Paul George for Melo straight up and he rejected with a "lol". That's like 70 points for 40 points "lol".
Just trade Drummond to me bro and stop worrying

Elected Mayor of Fresno in 2008, Ashley Swearengin is a dynamic leader who focuses on building coalitions of experienced and capable experts to solve problems in honest and thoughtful ways. She has dedicated nearly her entire professional career to improving Fresno and the San Joaquin Valley. She is Fresno's 21st elected mayor since the city was incorporated in 1885.
Fresno is a "Strong Mayor" city, in which the Mayor serves as the top-level executive for the organization. She is responsible for hiring the City Manager, producing the City budget, proposing legislation to the City Council, and ensuring the public is kept informed of important issues within our community.
Mayor Swearengin took office at one of the most challenging times in the City's history. She has shown true leadership in working to return the City of Fresno to financial health while at the same time focusing on long-term transformational efforts such as downtown and community revitalization, and adult education.
Under Mayor Swearengin's direction, the City of Fresno has implemented substantial changes in the way services are delivered to the public, focusing city government's efforts on core services while engaging the private and nonprofit sectors and Fresno residents in an unprecedented fashion. To address a dramatic decline in the City's General Fund, Mayor Swearengin's Administration reduced its workforce, privatized municipal services, and created partnerships with nonprofit organizations and volunteers to operate some aspects of the City's Parks and Recreation program thereby reducing City expenses while preserving the services for the public.
In addition to her efforts to revitalize downtown Fresno and its surrounding neighborhoods, Mayor Swearengin has also launched a number of major initiatives:
Mayor Swearengin was named one of California's top 10 mayors by Capitol Weekly, a Sacramento-based publication covering California government and politics and was identified by the Brookings Institution as a member of the "Pragmatic Caucus." She is a board member of the California League of Cities, chair of the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley, and at the national level, Mayor Swearengin serves on the leadership team of the U.S. Conference of Mayors as a member of its Executive Committee.
Before being elected to office, Mayor Swearengin led a number of economic development programs in the Fresno area, including the Central Valley Business Incubator, Fresno State's Office of Community and Economic Development, the Regional Jobs Initiative and the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley.
Mayor Swearengin was born in Texas and raised in Arkansas. When she was in high school, her family relocated to Fresno – the city she has called home ever since. Mayor Swearengin holds a Bachelor of Science (magna cum laude) and a Master of Business Administration (summa cum laude) from California State University, Fresno. Her husband, Paul, and she have two children, Sydney and Samuel.

Lenoir-Rhyne Head Football Coach Fred Goldsmith Retires From Coaching
May 3, 2011
The storied career of an iconic coach comes to an end
|Lenoir-Rhyne Univesity Head Football Coach Fred Goldsmith, who led the Bears to their first winning season in 16 years in 2010, has decided to retire after 45 years of coaching.
Hickory, N.C. - Lenoir-Rhyne University Head Football Coach Fred Goldsmith has announced his retirement after 45 years of coaching. Current Lenoir-Rhyne Assistant Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator Mike Houston has assumed the role as Acting Head Coach.
"We have been extremely fortunate to have Coach (Fred) Goldsmith work with us the past four years," said Dr. Wayne Powell, President of Lenoir-Rhyne University. "He is a winner on the field and off and we wish him and Pam (Fred's wife) all the best."
Goldsmith just finished his fourth season with Lenoir-Rhyne in 2010 and led the Bears to a 7-4 record and the team's first winning season in 16 years. Goldsmith compiled a 17-27 record as L-R mentor and the team improved every season under his watch.
"A bittersweet day with the closing of the book on an iconic and storied coach - Fred Goldsmith," said Neill McGeachy, Lenoir-Rhyne's Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. "This day is about Coach Goldsmith. The events to follow will be in a timely fashion."
Hired on November 28, 2006, Goldsmith became the 17th Head Coach in Lenoir-Rhyne's history.
From 2001 to 2005, he was Head Coach of Franklin High School in Franklin, N.C.
During that time, he compiled a 47-15 mark and led the squad to its most wins in school history while earning coach-of-the-year honors in 2001.
Goldsmiths early career included coaching positions at several high schools and universities.
Goldsmith has twice been voted national coach of the year at the Division I level.
He served as head football coach at Duke University (1994-1998) and Rice University (1989-1993).
While at Duke, he led the nation in football graduation rates four times and was named ACC Coach of the Year and Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year in 1994. He also led the team to the Hall of Fame Bowl on January 2, 1995, one of Dukes two bowl games in 40 years.
In 1992, Rice had its first winning season in 29 years and Goldsmith was named Sports Illustrated National Coach of the Year.
He also served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Ark., from 1984 to 1988.
During that time, the team had five bowl appearances and was Southwest Conference Champions for the first time in 14 years in 1988 when the Razorbacks finished 10-2 and earned a berth in the Cotton Bowl.
From 1979 to 1983, he was assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for the United States Air Force Academy, where they received the academys first Commander-in-Chief Trophy.
During his tenure there, the team played in the Hall of Fame Bowl and the Independence Bowl.
He served as defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Fla., from 1974 to 1979.
Florida A&M was the nations only undefeated team in 1977 and was named Black College National Champions that year.
The Rattlers won the inaugural NCAA Division I-AA National Championship in 1978, as A&M led the country in scoring, rushing and total defense.
He has been married to the former Pamela Penland for 44 years. They have two daughters, three granddaughters and one grandson.
Goldsmith grew up in Florida, where he played on the Coral Gables High School Football Team.
He attended Western Carolina University for two years on a football scholarship and transferred to the University of Florida, where he earned a bachelors degree in health and physical education in 1967 and a masters degree in education administration in 1972.

How to Make Hard-Boiled Eggs
Learn how to make hard-boiled eggs in this video from EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY magazine. Plus learn tips and tricks on how to easily peel them and how to make sunny yellow yolks. From our collection of Step by Step cooking videos.
Hi. I'm Teri Tsang Barrett, the Food Editor here at Every Day with Rachael Ray Magazine. And I'm going to show you how to make a hard-boiled egg. First, we're gonna place a single layer of eggs in the bottom of a sauce pan. You definitely need the lid, and if you've got a clear, like glass lid that's preferable because that way you can actually see the water come to a boil without having to remove the lid and let any of the heat escape. So, you're going to want to fill the pot with enough water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch, and I'm measuring it by sticking my finger in the pot, and touching the top of the egg. And the water comes up to my first knuckle, so I know it's roughly about an inch. I'm gonna cover the eggs, and bring the water to a boil. So, you're probably wondering what makes a good hard-boiled egg. There are two things to look for; you want the eggs to A. not smell which is the key 'cause nobody likes the smell of an overcooked egg, and B. you want it to stay nice and golden instead of gray and just overcooked. And it's amazing what a good hard-boiled egg actually looks like. So, now that my water has come to a boil, I'm gonna put it off to the side and remove it from the heat. And I'm just gonna let it stand for about 14 minutes covered. So, the eggs have sat for about 14 minutes and I'm transferring them to a bowl of ice cold water using a slotted spoon so that the water drains through. And at this point you just wanna let them stand until they're cold to the touch. So, these have been sitting for a few minutes and they're completely cold to the touch. So, we're going to actually sell the egg by mapping it with cracks, and what that means is I'm just gonna tap it lightly all over until it's marked by little cracks. And one trick, you can obviously just peel them over a bowl but they're much easier to peel in a bowl of water. You can also do this under running water but that seems a little bit wasteful so we don't like advocating that. And I'm gonna slice this guy open just to show you guys what a hard-boiled egg should look like. And there you go, it's nice and golden on the inside, and hope you'll use this method for your next batch of hard-boiled eggs. Thanks for watching.

The push to drill for offshore oil in the Arctic Ocean never seems to end, despite the potential for a catastrophic oil spill by an industry that has not proved itself capable of operating safely in Alaska's cold, stormy and remote seas.

"Why Americans Should Hope that Nicolas Sarkozy Gets Re-Elected"

If the latest pollsand the accompanying press coverageare to be believed, Nicolas Sarkozy's time as president of France will soon come to an end. In the all-important run-off election scheduled for May 6, most believe the incumbent will lose to his Socialist challenger, François Hollande. This is a prospect that no doubt worries Sarkozy and his supporters in France. But it should also worry people elsewhere in Europe, as well as here in the United States.
To be sure, Sarkozy's unmaking has been a long time in coming. Early in his term, he allowed himself to be portrayed as a friend of France's rich and powerful. He has also been repeatedly accused of tarnishing the dignity of his office on account of a messy divorce and the subsequent wedding to songwriter Carla Bruni. On a personal level, the French are simply not enamored with the man they have dubbed "President Bling-Bling."...

Clostebol acetate
Clostebol acetate
Alias: 4-chlorotestosterone acetate; 4-chloroandrost-4-ene-17beta-ol-3-one acetate
Molecular Formula: C21H29ClO3
Molecular weight: 364.91
Standard: Enterprise Standard
For bodybuilding. Clostebol Acetate is basically testosterone with an added 4-chloro group in
the A-ring. All it means is that it cannot properly interact with the 5-Alpha-Reductase enzyme to
be 5-alpha reduced to dihydrotestosterone. Thus, hair loss and acne caused by DHT is not possible.
Aromatization is also not possible, so estrogenic side effects aren't likely either.
On paper Clostebol Acetate looks great and it basically has a similar anabolic: androgenic ratio to other
steroids like Masteron. But I have to say that since it isn't
DHT-Derived like Masteron is, it's probably not going to have some of the cool precontest physique
hardening properties of Masteron and other similar compounds. To be perfectly frank, Clostebol is just a
pretty weak testosterone-derived steroid.

The colony of Odisha in east India was built 12 years ago by the government to rehabilitate homeless people, beggars and lepers living in the town, some of whom migrated from rural areas to this slum in search of employment.
Life has not been easy here because of the discrimination and exclusion the tribal and Scheduled Caste people faced from the mainstream community. They were not invited to any community events, and because they were unable to find work, they resorted to begging and ragpicking for their livelihood.
Alcoholism, family fights and quarrels in the neighborhood are common problems that stem from unemployment. Parents beg and send their children to work as domestic helpers, ragpickers and waiters at roadside tea stalls and hotels, because begging alone does not bring in enough income to support the family.
Hiralal is a sponsored child living in Odisha.
His father picked iron scraps and plastic from the garbage dump. Hiralal's mother was a beggar. Together they made about 25 rupees a day (about 46 cents in U.S. dollars), not enough to feed everyone in the family.
They ate mandia pej (water rice) for breakfast, and the little left over was eaten during dinner. Some days each family member had to go to bed on an empty stomach. Hiralal's mother shares,
"I thought of doing something to support my husband, but with no work available, and my children frequently falling sick, I had to resort to begging."
After Hiralal's father died of a liver infection, the family's financial condition worsened. His mother found it difficult to fend for her children and was troubled by not having money to enroll them in school.
Hiralal and his older brother used to go ragpicking three days a week, and on other days they accompanied their mother begging.
A local church partner reached out to enroll 22 children from this beggar colony in the Child Sponsorship Program to save them from ragpicking and give them a better future.
These children did not have any social life, and they suffered from low self-esteem because of the work they had been involved in.
It wasn't easy for the staff at the child development center to minister to these children. Initially, these children used to go ragpicking and begging after center hours. They even missed school to go pick rags from the garbage dump. The school principal often complained to our staff about the children's irregular attendance.
It was also difficult to motivate the families to give up begging, because they had been in that type of work for many years. Choosing a new vocation meant taking a risk that many were reluctant to take. So we organized a parents' meeting to inspire and motivate the parents to leave begging.
We conduct monthly meetings for parents to address various issues like caste feelings, proper parenting, good health practices, hygiene, and maintaining peace at home. We also educate parents about the need to encourage their children because it fosters their development.
Through these meetings, we have been gradually able to instill belief in the parents that God has a plan for their children's future. Apart from this, we provided special counseling to parents during home visits.
We have conducted an income-generation program teaching these parents skills for weaving leaf plates, making spices, making pickles, tailoring, vegetable vending and starting small-scale businesses to motivate them to abandon begging and ragpicking and choose a profession that will allow them to live with respect and dignity.
Many parents have stopped begging and have started new vocations.
Hiralal's mother tells us,
"At the income-generation training, I learned how to manage a minor business. A few months later, when my son got a small gift from his sponsor, I consulted the center staff and used that money to start a small business of selling ginger, garlic, onion and chili in the weekly market, which fetches me 800 rupees [approximately $15] a month.
Now I am able to take care of my children better than before, so I have stopped begging."
Hiralal is also grateful for his sponsor's support, which has allowed him to study in a quality school with children from well-off families. He is able to enjoy free health check-ups, good nutritious food, new clothes, new shoes and free school supplies.
He is learning about God and other things, and he now has a dream for himself.
He takes an active part in all the center activities, is regular in Sunday school and Saturday fellowship, and loves to create artwork.
"I want to become a doctor when I grow up because I want to help the poor who cannot afford treatment."
Hiralal has significantly improved in his studies because of the special nurturing and guidance he gets from tutors in the program. He is the first-generation learner in his family, and it makes his mother proud today.
"When my husband died, a world of problems seemed to tumble down on me like a mountain, but I am truly grateful to the Compassion project and the staff because I have found hope for my children and I am living with that hope till the day they grow up."

Minn. wind farm approved for Madison-based utility
Supreme court issues opinion
The Wisconsin Supreme Court said state regulators approved a Madison-based utility's plans for a Minnesota wind farm under the proper statutes.
The Citizens Utility Board and the Wisconsin Industrial Energy Group contended the state Public Service Commission incorrectly approved Wisconsin Power & Light's plan to build a massive wind farm north of Albert Lea under the wrong statutes.
The groups argued the PSC improperly approved the farm under a certificate of authority rather than a certificate of public convenience, which would have required a more stringent review.
Justice Patience Roggensack wrote in the majority opinion Wednesday that the PSC's finding that a public convenience certificate applies only to projects within Wisconsin was reasonable.
The consumer group's attorney, Kira Loehr, didn't immediate return a message.

Skip to comments.Call your local radio station that currently carries Bill O'Reilly to pick up Mark Levin
Posted on 02/25/2009 10:15:56 PM PST by TheEaglehasLanded
Since the Bill O'Reilly Factor is going off the air after tommorrow. If you haven't already called let them know you would like them to add Mark Levin. He is great and doesn't put up with the liberals or Repubics nonsense.
I love Levin, but I have to believe that most Program Managers didn't wait until now to decide on a replacement.
Why is BOR going off the air? Death Threats from the Left? Fairness Doctrine? ???
Low ratings.
Revenge of the Loofah.
You mean he's fallen and can't get up?
Our station carries Levin and is replacing O'Reilly with Fred Thompson. May have to record him because he is in conflict with Rush.
In Southern California, the answer is obvious. His program was in the same time slot as Rush Limbaugh and Dennis Prager.
I like Levin's monologues, when he's thoughtful and full of well-grounded convictions, but he's a real turn off when liberals call in - he's as bad as Savage in that respect.
Instead of using those moments to make his case and show how bankrupt the caller's arguments are (which he could easily do), he turns into a name-calling, deranged abuser... and I turn him off.
He does himself and the conservative movement a disservice with that type of behavior.
I'm So glad to know that BOR(e) is going off the air.
Now, let's hope we can convince Fox News to have Glenn Beck take his time-slot!
Beck's too nice of a guy to ever do something like that. Besides, the world as we know it is coming to an end in 2013. Or is it 2014?
O'Reilly LIED about and trashed Free Republic, and he compared our website to Daily Kos:
O'Reilly trashed Sean, Mark and Rush:
But, Mark refused to take O'Reilly's BS and fired back:
O'Reilly is a classless, worthless POS.
Have you heard this little gem?
I think the world as we know it has already come to an end. I cannot even fathom the world of hurt we have put ourselves in (whether you are a R or a D, it doesn't matter).
We the people are becoming slaves to our Federal Government. They, both R's and D's are ramming their philosophy down our throats so fast we don't even have time to digest it. It's really a brilliant plan on behalf of Pelosi and Co. I'm just hoping fellow conservatives can get prepared for what is yet to come. One by one, our rights are going to be stripped away. One way or another we're going to have to pay for this. So, life as I knew it, ended on election day.
Listening to Levin is educational, but good grief, he is as strident as Sean Hannity is mealy-mouthed. He's really starting to annoy me.
Don't forget me in your will.
You mean Bill "I swoon to obama" and "I hate oil companies" oreilly is going off the radio? That's because libs don't listen to the radio.
Getting educated, and getting annoyed: what could be better?
O'Reilly is a foaming-at-the-mouth enemy to this website and Conservative Talk Radio hosts, and Mark is willing to publicly defy O'Reilly for disrespecting and attacking the Conservative movement.
Listen from 92:48 to 100:19 here:
Contrary to your thoughts Levin's ratings are soaring.
You must be worried that moderate do-nothings won't listen.
How can Levin hurt conservatives? * years of moderate
meek willed Republicans gave up and ushered in a hard left government.
Meanwhile the left wing went aggressive, fought dirty and won everything.
...And ensuring that it's irreversible.
Mark Levin ping!
A Mark Levin bttt !!!
My station has already replaced him with Laura Ingraham. I'm happy.
Really?? He quit got fired? What happened?
Agree..I listen to the first 30 minutes of his show..he's brilliant..then turn it off..
and the Falafel.
Occasionally Mark Levin gets a lib caller who he thinks can be reasoned with. He doesn't have any patience with those who can't be.
What's not to love about "GET OFF THE PHONE YA BIG DOPE!"?
You're not forced to listen to any of it.
Wonder why Levin's show is expoloding all over the country? hmmmmm
I've heard that Fred Thompson will take some of BOR's spots.
"He does himself and the conservative movement a disservice with that type of behavior."
Apparently, many don't agree with you (including me), as he's kicking ass all over the country with ratings. We need people who aren't afraid to speak up audaciously, as most of the GOP politicians and talking heads are mealy-mouthed, spineless, milquetoast weenies.
"[Levin is] a real turn off when liberals call in..Instead of using those moments to make his case and show how bankrupt the callers arguments are .. he turns into a name-calling, deranged abuser... He does himself and the conservative movement a disservice with that type of behavior." ~ aquila48
Get real. Mark's audience would become quite impatient if they had to listen to him attempting to use reason and logic with those who aren't even ABLE to live in anything other than a FANTASY world.
Such mentalities aren't even able to _hear_ him, but (like many of Rush's listeners,) they have to listen to him, even if they have to hide down in the basement with their radio on under a blanket.
Those emotionally and cognitively mature individuals who happen to tune in accidently who are able to hear him will become fans and regular listeners.
This is reality:
"...it has been estimated that fewer than ten percent of the American public are reliably in Piaget's highest cognitive developmental stage of formal operations thinking. And even then, one cannot escape the cosmic law of bs in —> bs out. .."
Fewer than 10% of the American puplic are reliably in the Formal operational stage:
The formal operational period is the fourth and final of the periods of cognitive development in Piaget's theory. This stage, which follows the Concrete Operational stage, commences at around 12 years of age (puberty) and continues into adulthood. It is characterized by acquisition of the ability to think abstractly, reason logically and draw conclusions from the information available. During this stage the young adult is able to understand such things as love, "shades of gray", logical proofs, and values. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_cognitive_development
One example of the behavior that reveals the cognitive development of those who fall into the 90 percent-plus catagory (of the pre-adolescent, "Concrete Operational Stage" is shown here: http://americandigest.org/mt-archives/bad_americans/cutting_through.php
...The important point is that the fantasy precedes the reality, and will look for conditions in external reality to support it, identical to the manner in which the paranoid mind operates. According to deMause, the state of the group fantasy is what national opinion polls actually capture. That is, they take a snapshot of the mood of the country, which mostly consists of gut feelings that have varying degrees of connection to actual conditions, and more to do with the shifting nature of the group fantasy.
Remember, the bulk of the population is not thinking logically, so it doesnt matter how many cognitively mature individuals there are at the margins of a poll. That the economic downturn was largely caused by Democrat regulation (the Community Reinvestment Act), that we have won the war in Iraq, and that President Bush kept us safe for seven years, are inconsequential. In contrast, FDR was able to sustain a unifying group fantasy despite economic polices that aggravated and extended the Great Depression for years.
Likewise, job one for Obama will be to forge and sustain a unifying fantasy, not to deal with reality. This is one of the reasons the Democrats will be unable to let go of President Bush, because they desperately need him as a "poison container" in order to keep the toxins out of Obama (more on which below).

Random thoughts on the passing scene:
"...One of the painful signs of years of dumbed-down education is how many people are unable to make a coherent argument. They can vent their emotions, question other people's motives, make bold assertions, repeat slogans— anything except reason.
Barack Obama is the newest face on the political scene, expressing some of the oldest notions. Virtually everything he says is vintage 1960s rhetoric, as if he has learned nothing from the many disasters that 1960s notions have led to in the decades since then. .."
"Get real. Marks audience would become quite impatient if they had to listen to him attempting to use reason and logic with those who arent even ABLE to live in anything other than a FANTASY world."
That argument is contradicted by the fact that Rush and Hennety both have larger audiences and they both don't act like deranged lunatics when a liberal calls in. BTW I'm totally in sync with Mark's world view, and like I said I think the monologues with which he normally starts the show are great.
...it has been estimated that fewer than ten percent of the American public are reliably in Piagets highest cognitive developmental stage of formal operations thinking. And even then, one cannot escape the cosmic law of bs in > bs out. ..
Let's say that that is true, and you do not try to reach the other 90% in some way, then, in a democracy, you're doomed anyway, so he may as well stop yelling because it ain't going to do him any good.
I understand and accept the fact that there are people that are unreachable with a rational argument(on both ends of the political spectrum), even if one can make a case that is in their self-interest, but that's a minority - the rabid left, ecofreaks and utopians, KKK, etc. The majority of the people can at least be made to see what's in their self interest if you don't start by insulting them.
I think we can all agree that most people in the middle have been brainwashed by the schools, pop culture and the MSM into believing the crap that liberals dish out. A great majority of these are candidates for conversion. So when you get lucky enough to have someone like that calling your show and you have an opportunity to plant the seeds for a conversion of him (and others like him listening) and instead you spit on his face - it just doesn't seem very effective. Yes, you may have vented your spleen and gotten a chuckle out of your rabid fans, but you haven't helped your cause any.
I have no doubt that Hennety and Rush have by far more converts than Levin.
As for his ratings, yes right now they're growing as he gets into more stations, however I predict he'll run into the same wall as Savage did once people satisfy their curiousity and then eventually get turned off.
Because a lot of people are entertained by car crashes.
Entertainment isn't the same as enlightenment.
One size does not fit all. Those who are able to recognize substance don't care who the messenger is. Savage is an extremist, erratic, unstable nitwit. In no way is he a "conservative" (classic liberal).
Savage is a cynical opportunist and merely the extremist right-wing / flip-side of the extremist left-wing coin because that is where the money is at the moment.
That some "conservatives" listen to him merely means that they either lack discernment and/or aren't really movement conservatives, themselves.
Isn't BOR opposite Rush — in the same time slot?
I doubt that Mark would agree to compete with Rush; they're friends and have been for a long time.
Who' Bill ?
Where's Bill?
Why the hell should I care?
(Kinda' reminds me of a song!)
I came alive when i read that.

2010 Season Ends: What Happened?
Yanks 2010 Season Ends
Well, it wasn't as good as last season…that's for sure. As I watched the ALCS unfold, I saw what was going on, and I accepted it. But looking back now, I'm just so confused. I have so many questions, and I don't know the answers. But what keeps lingering in my mind is: What happened to the Yankees? What went wrong?
Too many things. And not enough went right.
-The Long Layoff
Now I'm not trying to make "excuses" to why the Yankees lost, but let's be realistic here. The Yankees had to wait an eternity for the Rangers and Rays to close things out. They beat the Twins so quickly that they were just sitting around. Of course they were still hyped up, but they lost some of their momentum – but more importantly, they lost their rhythm. Remember how in the ALDS it seemed like everyone was contributing to the success? Well, that didn't happen this time. The only guys who really did well were Curtis Granderson and Robinson Cano. And I pat them on the back for a job well done.
Unfortunately, their contributions were not enough. The Yankee pitching was ATROCIOUS in this series. Could it have been due to the rest factor? Maybe.
-Mark Teixeira's Hammy
The Yankees were already down in the series and were struggling offensively. So when their star slugger Mark Teixeira destroyed his hamstring while hustling out a grounder, the entire team was hurt. You could just see it. No one was going to admit it, but it's obvious: they probably thought they were screwed withough Teix – especially because the offense was pretty dead already.
-Joe Girardi
Don't get me started. I like Girardi, but as I've said before, I just don't understand him sometimes. This was especially true in ALCS game 6 – the Yankees final game. Intentionally walking Josh Hamilton once to get to Vlad Guerrerro was enough. He's lucky he got away with that move. But by having Phil Hughes do that AGAIN, Girardi was almost asking for trouble. My Grandma and I said that to each other as soon as we saw Joe wiggle the 4 fingers. We knew it would blow up in his face even before Guerrerro got the hit. And we were right. Then he put in David Robertson who, wo put it nicely, hasn't seen much success this postseason, and he let the game get away from the Yankees. From then on, the Yankees had terrible at-bats, and you could just see it in their eyes: they knew they were going home.
As for me, of course I am devastated. I love my Yankees more than anything, and I want to be able to watch them for as long as possible, Sadly, it ended too early this year. But that's selfish. I really feel bad for the YANKEES. They wanted to win this so badly, but they just didn't play well. They really embarrassed themselves. I feel so bad for my boys. They shouldn't have lost…they deserved to win. But they didn't play like they deserved it.
I guess I should give credit to the Rangers. I mean they did beat my boys. They really made my Yankees look bad. But really – the Yankees made themselves look bad, too. They helped them out a bit. And a good team like the Rangers capitalizes off another team's mistakes. That's exactly what happened. Sure, the Rangers are having their best season. They are a very good team. Maybe they do deserve to win.
Of course I will never admit that. The Yankees have been through so much this season. I think the Yankees should have won it all this season just as a tribute to the Great George Steinbrenner. It's kind of unfair that they didn't, but again – it was their fault they lost.
And who says life is fair, anyway? Maybe the best team doesn't always win.
But the great thing about life is that you can always try to redeem yourself. More often than not, you get another chance in life.
And for my Yankees, this other chance begins on March 31, 2011.
That's when the Quest for 28 begins again.
Yankees, I'd like to thank you for this exciting 2010. Just because it didn't end they way we planned doesn't mean we have to just forget it. You had a great season. I know you are the best team…you just didn't win when it counted. I still love you ♥
Thanks for the memories ♥

Hi Virginia,
In my view, I think the long layoff after the Yankees swept the Twins, and of course, the T.V. schedule, had a lot to do with the Yanks poor play in the Texas series … As "they" say, "follow the money", and in this case T.V. dictates all matters related to the baseball schedule, no matter: if the games start late; or if the games are played in bad weather; or if too many days are scheduled in between games. This, I think, definitely affected the Yankee players more so than the Ranger players … Also, I agree with you about the Yankees losing Mark Teixeira to the injury he suffered … He wasn't hitting that much, but that could have changed in any game. And even without much production at the plate, Teixeira's defense at first saved many runs throughout the year and in the playoffs. Losing Teix was a big loss for the Yanks, for sure … And, finally, yes, walking Josh Hamilton so many times to face the Rangers clean-up hitter Guerrerro was not the best strategy by Girardi … We all knew it was just a matter of time before Guerrerro would get a big hit. And he finally did in the fifth inning of Game Six. The Yankees never recovered from that inning, as I felt at the time, the game really ended right there for the Yanks … There is no question that Joe Girardi over-managed in the playoffs and throughout the regular season. But, in the end, it was the Yankee players who did not play very well down the stretch, and in the Texas series … Our Bronx Bombers were out-played by the Rangers, and really did not deserve to win !!!
Hope lives on, though, as all in the Yankees Universe look to 2011 to win our 28th World Championship !!!
Nice post, Virginia !!!

Starting in 2014, all legal federal matters will be shipped to Asheville. The closure of the federal court in Swain County has been a prospect for more than a year, and comes as the federal government seeks to cut costs associated with maintaining far-flung properties.
Meanwhile, Swain County is eyeing the space to relieve overcrowding of its own court system.
ŌĆ£There are not enough courtrooms, not enough parking or offices ŌĆö weŌĆÖre lacking in everything,ŌĆØ said Swain County Manager Kevin King. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve already put our name in the hat to see if we can acquire it.ŌĆØ
The federal building in Bryson City houses other government offices aside from the federal courtroom, from county to state to federal agencies. The county leases five other office spaces in the federal building already.
As for the soon-to-be-vacated court space, it would be offered to other federal agencies first.
ŌĆ£Any surplus federal property, from office furniture to buildings, we have to offer to other federal agencies first,ŌĆØ said Michael Caldwell, property manager with the General Services Administration office in Asheville. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve made all the federal agencies within a 100-mile radius of Bryson City aware of the building.ŌĆØ
That includes the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or Bureau of Indian Affairs, or even the U.S. Marshals Service.
But if there are no federal takers, ŌĆ£We are in line for it,ŌĆØ said King. But, ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt know where we are in line.ŌĆØ
Of course, it depends on the price.
ŌĆ£They may come back and say, ŌĆśWeŌĆÖll give it to you for a million bucks.ŌĆÖ In that case weŌĆÖre not gonna take it,ŌĆØ King said. ŌĆ£In January we will probably sit down and assess what we could do. ItŌĆÖs not a big building, but it would be good for some county services. We do think it can be used.ŌĆØ
King said the county contacted Rep. Mark Meadows, R-Cashiers, and asked for his support in getting the space.
Two other federal buildings in the state have been disposed of in recent years: one in Wilkesboro and the old Internal Revenue Service building in Greensboro, according to In Greensboro, the city eventually took over the IRS building, the last one disposed of by the federal government.

Behind The Image: Curtis BakerThis week on the blog we're running a new mini-series from a few chosen photographers that will be explaining the "behind the scenes" experience of creating one of their images.
Last year, I was lucky enough to have not one, not two, but three opportunities to have an all-access pass to photograph the amazing Dolly Parton. Using a friend of a friend connection, I simply asked if there was any chance that I could come to her opening show in Knoxville, Tennessee. I never thought I would get a "yes" considering how much of a legend she is, but I did- I had complete access to the arena and could go anywhere I wanted with the exception of Dolly's bus which not many people are allowed on. Over the next few months, I went around the southeast to shoot her shows and all the excitement that follows her around.
Making friends with her security team was the first step to gaining trust and access, so a lot of time was spent capturing a real behind the scenes look at how the team prepares an arena for a show for such a legend. Once Dolly comes out, it's all eyes on her. Sometimes she'll do a "meet and great" where she will shake hands and say hello to VIPs, or fan club members. But most of the time, she likes to go from the safety of her lavish tour bus straight to the stage with no interruptions. So most of the pictures I shot of her backstage, include her moving swiftly through ugly cinder block hallways, with low florescent lighting, safely amongst her security team.
One of my favorite pictures of Dolly is her about to go out on stage with her white, crystal encrusted fiddle against her chin ready to play to all her fans (top photo). It's a nice dark silhouette, showing a little bit of sparkle. That moment spoke to me. I'm standing 7 feet away from a living legend that I grew up listening to. She is about to be seen by thousands of her biggest fans, and she is calm, cool, collected, and silent (as was I). The band starts playing and the curtain busts open and she struts out on stage playing the fiddle while basically skipping to the beat of the music. Being a photographer, I can relate to musicians, we are all artists trying to better our craft. So being a relatively young photographer in the earlier stages of my career, standing next to someone who has basically reached the pinnacle of her craft, was pretty special for me.
Now for the stuff photographers like... For this shoot, I walked around with my 70-200mm 2.8 VRII lens on my Nikon D3S and kept a 35mm 2.0 attached to my Nikon D700 hanging from my shoulder for the first half of the show. Having the zoom lens attached allowed me to be just about anywhere in the venue and get the shot I wanted. Shooting from the side of the stage and down in the seats gave me the best viewing angles. I used the 35mm for wider crowd shots and backstage pictures. After the intermission, I took the D700 and a Nikon 14-24mm 2.8 with a Manfrotto Magic Arm and attached it high up to the huge video wall behind the stage. I used a Pocket Wizard remote trigger and cord to fire off wide angle shots of Dolly facing the crowd. Every time the house lights came on to light the crowd and her hands went up, I would push the little button on my Pocket Wizard in my shirt pocket, hoping for a magic shot.
As for setting and lighting, the stage and band aren't lit very brightly, but Dolly on the other hand has three spotlights on her at all times. So getting a shot of the band and Dolly was nearly impossible with a digital camera. Most of the time, I stayed on a setting that would get me nice, crisp shot of Dolly. With the three lights being so bright, I was able to keep my ISO down around 1000 or lower, and shoot at shutter speeds near 200th of a second to keep my shots sharp, to catch rhinestones and tassels bouncing through the air. I prefer a shallower depth of field so I usually shoot at 2.8 or lower.
I don't do much editing with Photoshop or Lightroom, with the exception of the recovery tool in Adobe Camera RAW. With all the bright lights and sparkles, I had to use that slider to keep the highlight from being blown out. And a little fill light allowed me to show some of the band or audience.
Bio: Curtis Baker is an Atlanta native and has been photographing for about five years. "I have spent that time shooting everyday, learning, and researching photography and photographers. I started as most do, photographing dogs, babies, and just about anything. Now I am a Fashion, Beauty, Commercial, and Unit Stills (movie set) Photographer. I am happily married and have a wonderful 2 year old daughter. When I'm not shooting, I'm riding my bike or hiking with my daughter and dog, (and thinking about shooting)."

Mussina Retires, Hal Steinbrenner steps up, Ramon Ramirez
Mike Musisna announced today that he will officially retire. He had something like 270 career wins. He had a great career, and was always a menace on the mound. He started with Baltimore in '91, and went to the Yankees in '01. His career record is 270-153 with a 3.68 ERA. So that's why the Yankees are in the market for so many pitchers! They're losing a lot, hopefully Cheng Meng-Weng (pardon my spelling) will come back, and this time not destroy his season by stepping on home plate. That really riled Georgie up, didn't it? He started ranting about the National League and how it should adopt the designated hitter strategy. I'm actually incorporating pictures into my blog?? Wow, this is cool!

Love the "milk photo"! We will all miss Coco, but I think everyone came out a winner in the trade. It will be fun to see what changes will take place with the new guy at the helm of the Yankees. I wonder if there will be less yelling when the Red Sox whip the Yankees butts next season?
Hey, it is cool! I like the pics! But Pedroia, the MVP? Hmmmmm…. I don't quite agree, and it's not just cause I'm a Yankees fan.
Nice Coco pic! That's pretty funny! Well, at least a bunch of stuff is happening in the Red Sox world. No Padres news for a few days…*gasp*…not like I've been checking too much or anything🙂

About 130 high school students associated with TRiO programs learned the organization's history and their key role in its future.
The students participated in a two-day leadership conference, February 28-March 1, co-chaired by Arnie Smithalexander and Josh Brandsen, from Grand Valley's TRiO Upward Bound office.
Smithalexander said students left the conference with homework to send an important message about TRiO to President Obama and others in Washington, D.C.
During the conference, students worked to develop key social media messages about the importance of TRiO and how it works to send students to college who otherwise might not have an opportunity to go.
On March 19, those messages will be sent via Twitter to @WhiteHouse using the hashtag #TRiONATION. Smithalexander said the messages can be simple success stories such as "TRiO is successful and I'm a part of it."
She hopes to spread the news about the March 19 Tweet-a-thon to other TRiO offices and word spreads nationally. This year marks the 50th anniversary of when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act, part of Johnson's "War on Poverty." One of the outcomes of the act was establishing TRiO offices.
Keynote speaker Selene Ceja told students that TRiO has faced opposition from the start. "No one thought that low-income students could go to college," said Ceja, who works in public policy for the Council for Opportunity in Education in Washington, D.C. "Since then, funding has been a challenge."
Ceja told students they were the new advocates for the program.
"You can tell your own story," she said. "With the right tools, stories have started a revolution, like the Arab Spring, using social media."
Michigan State University Student Support Services (a TRiO office) students developed posters with the history of TRiO, famous alumni and how TRiO works to help conference participants develop their messages.

Children of Bodom -- Santa Ana, CA -- February 13th, 2012
As Children of Bodom has descended into mediocrity I have become less and less interested in seeing them live. Last year's tour had an extremely disappointing setlist and it felt like it might be the nail in the coffin. To my surprise they decided to celebrate their 15th anniversary (starting from the release of Something Wild) with another tour. They didn't do anything for the 10th anniversary, so I hadn't even thought of this as a possibility. Seeing as the recent setlists have been less than satisfying, I couldn't pass up the opportunity for an anniversary tour. It would be a chance for me to reminisce and hear some of my favorite songs live.
The venue was one I had never been to before, or even heard of for that matter. It was a theater in downtown Santa Ana that looked more like a courthouse from the outside. Despite arriving during Threat Signal's set there was still a long line to get in. They were incredibly slow at frisking people and they made everybody wear a wristband, despite whether or not you were over 21. When somebody questioned the security about the wristbands he responded, "I don't know, man. It's stupid." By the time I got inside Revocation was setting up their equipment. I was pleased since I wasn't interested in seeing Threat Signal anyway. I noticed that the venue was set up weird, with only one entrance to the pit. A lot of people just climbed over the railing because there were too many people crowded around the ramp, which was near the stage. It was pretty packed inside
Eventually Revocation was done sound checking and the lights dimmed. I was hoping they would throw "Cradle Robber" into the set, but they played the same songs they had played in Hollywood a couple days prior. That was a bit of a let down, but they still put on an incredible performance. Although there was a bit of feedback during the first song, overall the sound was much clearer than at The Roxy. I could hear David's vocals perfectly and the guitars were very even, instead of sounding like they were fighting each other. They got some nice pits going, but the overall reception was better when they opened for Exhumed. The people in the front just seemed confused, or perhaps they didn't like them. Despite this, I enjoyed them more this time around since the sound was better. Hopefully next time around they will put together a better setlist.
I wasn't sure what to expect from Eluveitie, since I had never seen them before. I'm not that familiar with their discography either, but I know I enjoy Slania and some of the other material. When they started off with "Everything Remains as it Never Was" I was astounded by how great they sounded. With so many instruments they still pulled off the songs perfectly. I was seduced by the beautiful folk melodies and Meri's violin playing. The audience seemed to enjoy them a lot and the pits were much more intense than they were for Revocation. Before (Do)minion Chrigel asked for a wall of death, and of course the crowd complied. I have to say, although they sounded great, I was a bit disappointed in the song choices. I would have loved to hear "Omnos" and another off of Slania, but this was still a good introduction for me.
Now it was time for what the show had culminated to, Children of Bodom. After seeing the sets from earlier in the tour I was a little uneasy, but after they substituted "Not My Funeral" and "Roundtrip to Hell and Back" for some more classics I was much more excited. I still wish they had played all of "Deadnight Warrior," but the addition of "Lake Bodom" made me not mind that so much. One of the major highlights for me was finally seeing them play "Kissing the Shadows," which has always been one of my favorites. During "Silent Night, Bodom Night" I crowd surfed and was conveniently dropped near the front. I fell in the center, so I was able to see Alexi shredding up close. As usual, they put on a remarkable show with a great stage presence. The timing between the dual guitar and keyboard solos was right on point. I noticed that Alexi was drinking water instead of beer this time, so perhaps that helped with his performance, which has been known to be sloppy on occasion. Overall I was very pleased with the song choices and I would say this is the best set they have done in the past five years or so. It was one of those shows where you walk out and think, "I wish I could travel to the next city just to see them again."

About time they put up a good set with old songs! Also, Revocation must have been awesome, I've seen them 3 years ago with like 40 people in a small venue... it was crazy.

Ohio Senate should go ahead with restrictions on 'cafes'
Paying money to play "games" in which there is a chance of winning more money is gambling. Calling it something else – like "Internet cafes" – doesn't change that fact.
Through a process of voter referendums and decisions by state officials, Ohioans have decided during the past several years that certain forms of gambling should be legalized, but regulated by the state. Local and state governments benefit by receiving shares of the proceeds.
Even as the process of legalizing and regulating was proceeding, however, a form of gambling that met neither of those tests was proliferating. It was "Internet cafes" in which customers pay to buy phone cards or time on computers linked to the Internet. Patrons then use the "points" they have purchased to gamble on terminals set up like slot machines. If they win, they get payoffs.
Nearly 800 such gambling parlors have sprung up across Ohio, arousing concern among law enforcement officials.
State House of Representatives members on Wednesday approved a bill to restrict Internet cafe gambling. The measure would limit payouts to $10, a move some operators of the businesses say will force them to close.
Perhaps so, but again, the Internet cafes are engaged in gambling, largely without any oversight by state regulators.
State Senate members should follow the House lead and approve the bill.
Then, however, Ohio officials should consider whether there is a place for Internet cafe-type betting within the legalized gambling framework. Some states, including West Virginia, allow what they term "limited video lottery" gambling with machines operated by hundreds of small businesses.
Perhaps Ohio should look into a similar system. If gambling is to be permitted at racetracks and casinos, under state supervision and with shares of the take going to government, why not at smaller businesses?

The entrance to the Blackwater Draw Site is located on N.M. 467 between Portales and Clovis. (Courtesy photo)
By Karl Terry: Freedom Newspapers
Hollywood archaeologist Indiana Jones never visited eastern New Mexico in his movies, but if he had arrived on the scene at Blackwater Draw in the 1960s, he would have sought out the members of the El Llano Archaeology Society.
Archaeology students at Eastern New Mexico University and a few local folks with a yen to learn more about the science are bringing back an archaeology society to the area since El Llano disappeared like an artifact into the prairie sands some 20 years ago.
"The Clovis/Portales area is so rich in archaeology areas we felt like it was important," said Ziggy Prothro, a graduate student in archaeology who is spearheading the effort to re-establish a society.
She said an archaeological society would be a nice complement to ENMU's Blackwater Draw Museum and the famous Blackwater Draw Site, where evidence of Clovis Man, the earliest known culture in North America, was discovered and accurately dated to between 13,000 and 13,300 years ago.
Prothro explained that besides El Llano there were once lots of active societies in the Southwest, but now the numbers are down to just a few.
Don Clifton, an archaeologist from Pep, agrees that the area could use a society.
"With the approximation of so many areas, there is so much interest in it (archaeology)," Clifton said. "It (the interest) needs to be developed in the public."
The organization hosts speakers at its monthly meetings, held every third Thursday, and plans to give members the opportunity to help at the site, museum and in local classrooms, and possibly even be involved in field work.
Prothro said field trips to places such as Alibates Flint Quarry near Amarillo, area rock art sites and the Blackwater Draw Site would also be a goal of the group.
"It's not about archaeology," Prothro said. "It's about journalists, housewives and regular people learning more about ancient cultures."
Prothro's husband, George Prothro, said it would be an aim of the society to provide amateurs ethical training.
"We don't want to teach them to be pot hunters," he said.
"We don't dig dinosaur bones," clarified George Prothro. "We're all too lazy to take that many math classes," he quipped, referring to the paleontology field that often is confused with archaeology, which is the study of historic or prehistoric people through their artifacts.
Tommy Heflin of Portales, who attended the group's first meeting in October, said he's had no training in archaeology but wants to get involved because he has a unique interest in the study.
"My main interest was in the artifacts and how Indians could make something so beautiful."
Heflin has been an amateur flintknapper for 30 years. Flintknapping is the art of manufacturing stone points or arrowheads as ancient people did.
James Warnica was El Llano's first president after it was formed in the summer of 1962. He had some archaeology field training, but is not a professional archaeologist. He recalls how the organization quickly found itself in a once-in-a-lifetime situation.
Artifacts at the Blackwater Draw Site, between Clovis and Portales, were discovered in 1929 when gravel operations started there and evidence of Clovis Man was discovered. In December 1962, a major find was made at the pit, then operated by contractor Sam Sanders. Society members were pressed into action a few months after the group formed by F.E. Green, the Texas Tech professor who made the discovery.
According to Warnica, the group consisted of himself, Gordon Brown, Joe Blair, Eula Edwards, Siegel Wallace and others. For two years members snatched every spare moment to help with the dig between jobs and other lives, Warnica said. The work on that find, which he said lasted from December 1962 to February 1964, uncovered four Columbian mammoth. More importantly, it placed Clovis artifacts in association with the mammoth kill, clarifying the dates and reasons for the artifacts found in the area.
"It was one of those things where you were in the right place at the right time," Warnica said. "It was overpowering because nearly everybody was working. You were trying to do stuff out there and hold down a job, too," said the rancher, who was a linotype operator and shop foreman at the PNT at the time.
Warnica said the atmosphere surrounding the find was politically charged, and he and the group knew they might not have long to work the site.
"Mr. Sanders was really good to work around though," Warnica said. "He was even willing to move dirt with machinery when we needed it."
Warnica says El Llano also had meetings and did all the stuff that Prothro is planning, but the work at the site provided a bond for the group he feels may be hard to replace.
"I think it's a great thing to preserve historic and prehistoric sites," Warnica said of Blackwater Draw Site's National Historic Site designation and new society's goals.
"It's the public that pays for archaeology," said George Prothro. "But the public doesn't understand it."
