We're living in a world where almost every comic book superhero who ever existed is going to have an accompanying movie. It's a wonderful day to be alive, but it's also easy to take this world for granted. It's important to remember that, once upon a time, it was damn near impossible to get a superhero movie made. Even Spider-Man, Marvel's most popular hero and a guy who has had four movies in our lifetime (and at least one more on the way), spent a lot of time in movie development hell ...
3Spider-Man + Singing + Nazis
In the 1970s, comics god Stan Lee planted himself firmly in Los Angeles with the single goal of making a crapload of money selling off the rights of Marvel properties to literally anyone. He tried to turn Thor into an off-Broadway play, he tried to make a movie based on Dazzler even though it would have been based on Dazzler, and he even tried producing a Silver Surfer movie that borrowed heavily from blaxploitation films (the script contained a scene where the Silver Surfer gets abducted by Sweet-Daddy Wisdom, a pimp [I mean obviously, right?] who utters the line, "Ol Sweet-Daddy's gone and caught himself the world's choice prize. He's captured the ultimate honky."
Still, none of that compares to the Steve Krantz-helmed Spider-Man treatment. According to Stan Lee and the Rise and Fall of the American Comic Book, Krantz's vision involved turning Spider-Man into a "musical-fantasy picture," although he quickly realized that it would have been a terrible idea. Did you hear that, U2 and Broadway? Even a guy in the '70s -- a decade made entirely of drugs -- knew how absurd it would be to have Spider-Man singing and dancing at bad guys.
I saw the Spider-Man musical in previews, and there's an entire song dedicated to a spider-lady's love of shoes, in case anyone's ever curious as to why I'm sad all the time.
Krantz wised up, deciding that it made more sense to have Spider-Man battle "100-foot robots and Nazis." The studio passed. Hard.
Why It Would Have Ruled
If only Kickstarter had been around in 1976; we could have crowd-funded a Spider-Man movie musical with robots and Nazis and then everyone could die, because that's the only thing that anyone was put on this Earth to do. Making that ridiculous movie happen is the only thing stopping all of humanity from quantum-leaping to our next mission.
I'm not saying this would have been the best Spider-Man movie ever, but boy it would have been rad. Today, the entire Spider-Man franchise can be rebooted and reimagined less than a decade between franchises. Already we'll have a different Batman within the next five years. Understanding that, we have to accept that we can't be precious about these properties anymore. We don't need to sit around and stress over whether or not someone is going to do justice to the source material, because if we don't like what Marc Webb does with the next Amazing Spider-Man, it's safe to assume that someone else will get a shot before 2020.
So, since authenticity is no longer the endgame, originality needs to be the goal. And while I genuinely don't know if Spider-Man fighting Nazis does make more sense than a Spider-Man musical, I do know that Krantz's version, regardless of what happened, would be the most original Spider-Man movie we would ever see.
Hey, speaking of people who should be tried for war crimes ...
I mean, would Spider-Man time travel back to the past, or would there just be a bunch of Nazis running around New York in the '70s? Was Spider-Man almost a time-traveling Nazi hunter?! We'll never know, because the studios passed on the idea. And we all have to live with that decision.
2Roger Corman's Spider-Man
For about six minutes in the early '80s, beloved B-movie director Roger Corman had the rights to make a Spider-Man movie.
Corman was working from a treatment written by Stan Lee that featured standard Spider-Man stuff like webs, swinging, and Doctor Octopus, plus some less-standard Spider-Man stuff like a Russian nuclear war that Spider-Man single-handedly stops and a bunch of sexy KGB agents. Marvel took the rights away from Corman because they were worried about the budget ballooning out of control and realized that it would be cheaper to just not make a Spider-Man movie for another few decades.
Why It Would Have Ruled
Corman. Corman. Corman.
Most of you probably know who Corman is, but in case you don't, stop reading this article, go rent Death Race 2000, and watch it right now. That movie has fast cars, Sylvester Stallone with a Tommy gun, David Carradine in a Speedo, beautiful naked women, and a dope hand-grenade pun, and if nothing on that list appeals to you, you're dead inside, because the movie is perfect, campy fun at its best. Seriously. Come to my apartment and I will sit you down and give you a private screening of this movie.
A Roger Corman Spider-Man movie means we'd have a Roger Corman Spider-Man movie. Corman is listed as a mentor to Scorsese, Coppola, Ron Howard, and James Cameron, and he launched the careers of Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, and William Freaking Shatner. In the way that no meal can turn out bad if two of the ingredients are bacon and whiskey, it is literally impossible that we'd get a bad movie when we're combining Roger Corman with Spider-Man.

The histories of the Emacs text editor and the Lisp programming language are intertwined: most versions of Emacs have used some dialect of Lisp as an extension language, and several versions (starting with Dan Weinreb's EINE for the Lisp Machine; also ZWEI by Dan Weinreb and Mike McMahon and Multics Emacs by Bernie Greenberg) have been implemented in Lisp.

"Instead of taking a shell command language and imposing a programming language on top of it [e.g., the UNIX Bourne shell], why not do it the other way around? Take a programming language and imbed in it a shell command language. That's the aim of this work."
It was implemented on Harvard LISP for the PDP-11.
Tinylisp (DEC SRC)
- John Ellis. Tinylisp Reference Manual. Systems Research Center, Digital Equipment Corporation, January 26, 1989. PDF
"Tinylisp is a language intended for 'programming-in-the-small' in SRC's Modula-2+ environment. It is a lexically scoped Lisp implemented as a package that can be bound into any Modula-2+ application, providing that application with instant programmability. The Ivy text editor uses Tinylisp to implement its predefined commands and to allow users to write their own commands; future applications may include a shell based on 'vbtkit' dialogs.
The Tinylisp language itself is a small, modern Lisp that provides a fairly rich set of traditional control and data structures (including threads), with two-level naming based on modules. All the basic Modula-2+ packages are directly accessible from Tinylisp, including Text, List, Table, Thread, FileStream, Rd, Wr, OS, Time, Math, and RegExpr.
Tinylisp can directly manipulate integers, characters, booleans, longreals, and any opaque-ref types provided by the particular application, and Tinylisp can call procedures that traffic in these types. Using compile_tli a stub generator similar to RPC's flume, application implementers define which of the application's procedures and datatypes will be accessible from Tinylisp. It is the responsibility of the application implementer to define Modula-2+ interfaces that are suitable for programming-in-the-small."

Telangiectasias are small, widened blood vessels on the skin. They are usually harmless, but may be associated with several diseases.
Vascular ectasias: Spider veins
Telangiectasias may develop anywhere within the body. But they are most easily seen on the skin, mucous membranes, and whites of the eyes. Usually, they do not cause symptoms. Some telangiectasias bleed and cause significant problems. Telangiectasias may also occur in the brain and cause major problems from bleeding.
Causes may include:
Diseases associated with this condition include:
Call your health care provider if you notice enlarged vessels in the skin, mucous membranes, or eyes.
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask questions about the symptoms, including:
Tests may be needed to diagnose or rule out a medical condition. Such tests may include:
Sclerotherapy is the treatment for telangectasias on the legs. Laser treatment is typically used to treat telangectasias of the face.

We LOVE IT!
By Patiolady
from Scottsdale, AZ
This was the perfect solution for our covered patio with two facing sofas. The fireplace fits perfectly between them ... gives off LOTS of heat. It will extend our patio use well into the winter here in Scottsdale, AZ. What would make it even MORE perfect is if it had a glass chimney so that the flames and hot glass beads were less exposed.

The wall is of great importance to veterans and area residents, officials emphasized.
"Many of the veterans on that wall — who sacrificed so much — have loved ones here in South Texas," said David Flores, the city of George West's consultant on economic development.
However, much like freedom, the traveling wall isn't coming to Live Oak County for free. It is expected to cost the city of George West and its chamber of commerce around $8,000. George West officials are looking for volunteers to help share these costs.
Ultimately, it's well worth it, officials said.
This is a joint effort between the Grace Armantrout Museum, George West and the George West Chamber of Commerce (in connection with its Centennial Celebration), area veterans and anyone who wishes to volunteer their time and effort.
This wall replica spans over 360 feet and is credited as being the largest traveling Vietnam Wall memorial in the nation. It is 80 percent the size of the original Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., but has all of the names inscribed on the original.
Having it in George West will allow loved ones to look up the location of their loved one's names. Sheets and pencils will be available for family and friends to do rubbings of their loved one's name on the wall.
On Monday, George West Mayor Sylvia Steele and Three Rivers Mayor Sam Garcia joined Kevin Mackey, president of the Grace Armantrout Association and representatives of area veterans groups to discuss specifics of the arrival.
When it arrives in September, the traveling wall will first stop in Three Rivers. From there, a formal escort to its viewing site in George West will begin.
"It will be escorted to the George West staging area by law enforcement," Steele explained.
It is hoped that veterans can also be part of this special escort, officials said.
Details are still being worked out and more specifics will be announced closer to September. But, ultimately, all local organizations and residents are invited to attend and participate. Those who are interested can contact the Grace Armantrout Museum at (361) 449-3325 or (361) 254-2986.
Organizers also are hoping to hear from area ministers interested in offering invocations at the morning openings and the evening closings of the wall. Ministers who are interested in doing so are asked to contact Mackey at email@example.com.
Ben Tinsley is a reporter for The Progress newspaper in Three Rivers. He can be contacted by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 361-786-3022.

Cantor, cheese and other stuff
So Eric Cantor went down in flames in the Virginia Republican primary I see. I can't say I'm the least bit chagrined. Cantor is the quintessential establishment Republican. And like most of that ilk, he was more worried about what the press thought of him than doing what was right by his principles. I notice the media spin doctors are immediately claiming that he really didn't lose because of his stand on immigration (i.e. a hard lean toward "amnesty" for illegals although he tried to deny it). After all if they admit that immigration reform was a reason for his defeat, then they have to admit that its dead for this year (as, given this lesson, no Republican running for reelection in the House – that would be all of them – is going to touch it with a 10 foot pole). The spin doctors also know that if it is dead for this year, it may be dead, at least in its present form, for good, if Republicans win the Senate. One also assumes that Republicans are aware of the polls out there that place immigration reform as a low priority issue for voters right now (yeah, surprise, they're much more interested in jobs and economic growth than illegal aliens).
I think another reason for Cantor's loss is a deep dissatisfaction with Republican House leadership – such that it is. Add his lack of popularity within his own district and an acceptable alternative candidate and you have the prefect electoral storm. Finally, Tea Party candidate Dave Brat's win signaled, much to the annoyance of the left, that the Tea Party is hardly "dead". It'll be interesting to see how the establishment Republicans react to this upset.
On another subject, yesterday we saw where the FDA had unilaterally decided that it might be necessary to ban the centuries old tradition of aging cheese on wooden shelves. Because, you know, there's been such an epidemic of sickness from such practices here lately and over the ages. What? There hasn't? There hasn't been any real problem at all? However:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an executive decree banning the centuries old practice of aging cheese on wooden boards. One bureaucrat within the FDA, without surveying all of the scientific literature, and without public commentary, has rattled hundreds of small businesses across the United States. Consumers who eat any kind of aged cheese should prepare for a potentially catastrophic disruption in the market for artisan, non-processed cheese.
Now that was yesterday. Today, yeah, its cave in time. There has been such an outcry from cheese makers, the public and just about anyone else that could find a forum that the FDA is hastily backing down. Overlawyered brings us up to date:
Following an enormous outcry from cheese makers, commentators, and the general public, the agency beats a hasty retreat. Commentator/ Pepperdine lawprof Greg McNeil has the details at Forbes (and his earlier commentary on the legalities of the agency's action is also informative). Earlier here.
In a classic bureaucratic move, the agency denied it had actually issued a new policy (technically true, if you accept the premise that a policy letter from its chief person in charge of cheese regulation is not the same as a formally adopted new policy) and left itself the discretion to adopt such a policy in future if it wishes (merely declaring itself open to persuasion that wood shelving might prove compatible with the FSMA).
This is also a lesson for people in other regulated industries. When government officials make pronouncements that don't seem grounded in law or policy, and threaten your livelihood with an enforcement action, you must organize and fight back. While specialized industries may think that nobody cares, the fight over aged cheese proves that people's voices can be heard…
Yes, true. But … there's always a 'but', Overlawyered points out something that is true and often overlooked. You have to be willing to fight for it all, not just the popular stuff. You have to be willing the challenge all the nonsense bureaucrats put out there:
There is a less optimistic version, however. It happens that a large number of editors, commentators, and others among the chattering classes are both personally interested in the availability of fine cheese and familiar enough with the process by which it is made to be un-cowed by claims of superior agency expertise. That might also be true of a few other issues here and there — cottage food sold at farmer's markets, artisanal brewing practices — but it's inevitably not going to be true of hundreds of other issues that arise under the new Food Safety Modernization Act. In a similar way, the outcry againstCPSIA, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, rose to a politically effective level only on a selected few issues (publishers and libraries got a fix so that older children's books would not have to be trashed; youthmotorsports eventually obtained an exemption, and so forth) but large numbers of smaller children's products and specialties whose makers had less of a political voice simply disappeared.
Absolutely true. I think of those who want to drink raw milk for instance. Where does the government get off saying you can't drink something you choose to drink if you're willing to take the risk and suffer any consequences? Something that, until pasteurization, everyone drank? But since those who prefer raw milk don't have a large lobby, they're subjected to government bullying and laws prohibiting them from making that choice.
Choice is freedom. Limiting of choice is limiting freedom and government is in the freedom limiting business. The premise is you're not able to make good choices yourself, so government must keep you from doing so. Question? If aging cheese on wood was dangerous to our health and it had been the reason from many deaths over the centuries, how do you suppose the market for such cheeses might have been effected by now? Right. It certainly wouldn't have come down to some government bureaucrat making a unilateral decision in 2014, that's for sure.
In Iraq, Mosul has fallen to terrorists. Nightwatch brings us up to date:
ISIL has been trying to take Mosul since earlier in June, but only lately assembled enough forces to rout the security forces and overrun the city.
ISIL now controls two major cities in the Sunni region of Iraq: Fallujah and Mosul. Its fighters tried to overrun several other cities, but failed. Its aim is to create an Islamic emirate that joins Iraq and Syria.
The group had been affiliated with al Qaida for many years, since the time of Abu Musab Zarqawi, according to the National Counter Terrorism Center. In February al Qaida disavowed all links with ISIL because its actions were more extreme than al Qaida and it would not follow orders to stop fighting the al Nusrah Front in Syria, which al-Qaida supports.
On Sunday in Syria, ISIL fighters clashed with the al-Qaida-affiliated al Nusrah Front in eastern Syria, while its Iraq wing fought to capture Mosul in Iraq. This is a formidable group. Only the Syrian Kurds stand in the way of ISIL consolidating large areas in Iraq and Syria under its control.
Mosul's capture reinforces the judgment that Iraq has re-entered civil war. ISIL is more than an insurgency because it has an effective organization and is conquering territory. By force of arms, it has created a power-sharing arrangement with the government in Baghdad and fragmented the country. A statement by the Muslim scholars association today encouraged ISIL to hold Mosul and to set up an administration. It urged the youth of the city to defend it against the Baghdad government.
ISIL's control in Syria seems tenuous and contested by other opposition groups. In Iraq, it is the dominant anti-government force and it has broken Iraq, for now.
My position? If Iraqi's want a free Iraq, they'd better fight for it. They've been given the time, the equipment and the training. Now, it's up to them.
Finally, yesterday I literally had to laugh out loud when I read something Robert Reich, a former Secretary of Labor, had written on his Facebook page. It simply demonstrates how effing silly – and dangerous to your freedoms – these people are:
President Obama announced steps yesterday he said will make student loans more affordable. It's probably all he can manage with a grid-locked Congress, but it's still tinkering with a system of college financing that's spinning out of control. What's really needed is to make college free of charge and require all graduates to pay 10 percent of their earnings for the first 10 years of full-time work into a fund that pays the costs (additional years of graduate school means added years of payments). That way, nobody graduates with debts; young people from lower-income families can afford to attend; graduates who go into high-wage occupations in effect subsidize those who go into lower-wage work; and we move toward a system of genuinely equal opportunity. What do you think?
Right … free college for all. Graduate with no debt!
Question: How in the world does this dolt think that making all graduates pay "10 percent of their earnings for the first 10 years" to fund "free college" doesn't equal being in debt? Oh, and who would keep track of all this? Why the IRS of course – another in a long line of ideas to further centralize control of all aspects of your life at the federal level and add to the federal bureaucracy's reach and power.
Then add the scam value of this. Ride the gravy train for 3 or 4 years of free college and then walk away as a non-graduate. Nothing to pay, right? I mean the stipulation is that "graduates" pay, so why not hang out in a college dorm, eat in the chow hall, do your own thing while also doing barely enough to stay in school. That way you can let these other dopes subsidize those years for you. Then, move, apply to a new school and repeat. Trust me, there are enough "professional students" in this world that I can promise that would be done.
Oh … and read the comments to the Reich post. They'll make you weep.

Summer break is upon us, bringing the inevitable mix of travel, visitors and changing sleeping arrangements. Children's bedrooms turn into guest rooms for friends and relatives, suitcases replace closets as families travel, and children go off to camp. Though exciting, this can also be very stressful to children, who lose not only the routine of school, but also their familiar surroundings.
Taste and smell children will tend to become clingy during these types of disruptions. They feel torn between two equally challenging feelings: the desire to please everyone, and their own anxiety over unmet needs. Being children, they will find it hard to express this conflict _ resulting in emotional eruptions, over-sensitive, or even "spoilt" behavior. This is just a sign that they are feeling overwhelmed. Find some quiet time with your child, or arrange special one-on-one with a loved one, to help to discover and alleviate their concerns.
Tactile children tend to be particular about the rules, and don't always understand that rules can change – while on vacation, when others are visiting, in other people's homes, etc. Acting as the caring overseer, they will try enforce order: rules are rules! Their first impulse will be physical: breaking up and putting away one child's Lego creation, or dragging another child to their seat for dinner. This is a perfect opportunity for parents to teach their tactile child alternative forms of expression. The tactile child can learn to show or model a behavior, rather than forcing others.
Visual children are a little particular, and need to learn that others' visual tastes differ from theirs. In new situations, the visual child's honesty can seem rude. They will comment on their aunt's ugly floral couch, or refuse to even try the food, saying it looks funny. This is a control issue: and the less control the child feels he has, the more rude and controlling about other things he will become. Resolve this by giving the child free rein on certain, simple things – picking out her clothes, picking flowers for the table, or arranging the clothes in the suitcase, if you're traveling. Be sure to thank them for their help on these tasks.
Auditory children can be unsettled by any disruption to the day's routine sounds. Sleeping away from familiar sounds, either a noisy train or a quiet bedroom, will compromise their sleep for the few days it takes to adjust. During this adjustment, you will have a tired child who will most likely whine and complain. Auditory children thrive on routine, and having their sleep and eating patterns change will it extra hard to handle the new noises and sounds they have to deal with. Keep to as normal a routine as possible, and try extra hard to replicated bedtime sounds, to ease that transition. Don't forget to bring the iPod for your child, to give them some auditory control.
By being prepared for the emotional expressions of your child, you will be able to show them patience and help to elevate their anxiety over the summer break. This will head off bad behavior and the inevitable fights and disappointment that come along with it, leaving you and your child to have more fun and to build lasting summer memories.

Vt. drug-abuse film goes nationalBy Kevin O'Connor
Staff Writer | January 30,2014Kevin O'Connor / Staff Photo
A poster for the Vermont drug-abuse documentary "The Hungry Heart" at Leland & Gray Union Middle and High School in Townshend advertises the film's upcoming screenings throughout the state.Vermont filmmaker Bess O'Brien figured she was finished with her drug-abuse documentary "The Hungry Heart" after its Green Mountain premiere last fall. Then Gov. Peter Shumlin touted the movie in this month's State of the State address, catapulting it into the national spotlight — and a likely Washington, D.C., screening.
"The governor's speech put everything in fifth gear," O'Brien says. "We've gotten press that is generating a lot more bookings, DVD sales and interest from people outside the state."
Consider a recent New York Times story. And a front-page Sunday Boston Globe splash. And a report from ABC World News anchor Diane Sawyer on "a cry for help from Vermont, of all places." And a National Public Radio "On Point" hour-long feature on the film. And, reaching across the globe, coverage from the Norwegian press.
"Who knew Norway also has a huge opiate problem?" O'Brien says.
The Northeast Kingdom filmmaker spent two years creating a documentary about retired St. Albans pediatrician Fred Holmes and a dozen of his 150 teenage and 20-something patients wrestling with addiction to prescription painkillers with such brand names as Vicodin and OxyContin.
The movie's message: Such people aren't "bad" but instead are simply hungry to erase the pain of instability, insecurity, loss and loneliness at home, school or work.
A Shumlin staff member told O'Brien he'd be mentioning "The Hungry Heart" in his speech three weeks ago. But she didn't expect to receive a standing ovation from the Vermont House and Senate ("that was overwhelming") or so many resulting phone calls.
"Things have been crazy ever since," she said. "What has been the most interesting, talking to the national press, is this constant question of, 'Why Vermont?' I keep saying, 'Every place has this problem — what's unique about us is we've stood up and said we have it.'"
In an address spelling out a larger plan to fight addiction, the governor announced his office would pay for the film to be shown in every middle and high school in the state. That's why O'Brien shared the documentary Wednesday with 400 students at Leland & Gray Union Middle and High School in Townshend. It's the first of many such appearances she and the movie's subjects anticipate scheduling this year.
"We can't go to every single school," she said, "but we can go to a lot of them."
O'Brien recently spoke to a crowd of 250 at the University of Vermont College of Medicine and will meet with pediatricians at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in neighboring New Hampshire. She's also talking with her home state's congressional delegation about a spring screening in the nation's capital.
All this for a movie that, to create, O'Brien had to raise her own production money, film with a lone cameraman, mine 150 hours of interview footage with a sole editor and deflect inquiries about DVD sales and upcoming screenings to a website, thehungryheartmovie.org.
"Because we're a small organization and don't have a huge staff, we need people to champion the film and get the word out," she said. "We want it to be used as a way to raise consciousness. People can relate to human stories — they hit you in a way statistics don't."

Hey, everybody. I'm new here. My baby boy is nearly 7 weeks old and I figure, to get started, I'll post a little preface of what happened during his first little bit of life:
So, Sol was born really without a hitch. I was induced because I was very late, and he came out no problem. I wanted to do a water birth, but they don't have the equipment necessary for that at the hospital, so I did what I could. I gave birth, and the usual, medical routines happened; he was taken from me, dressed up, left (odd, I thought, this part) without a bath of any sort with his birth-canal fluids all over him, and was allowed to cuddle with me for a while. Anyway ...
He wasn't hungry at ALL when he popped out. Everyone at the hospital touched his cheek and he had no craving whatsoever to feed. So, when he was done with everyone holding him, he came back to me and we snuggled. Anyway, 6am (about 12 hours later) rolls around and he's still not overly hungry. A crazy nurse comes in and tells me I am doing skin to skin wrong with him, that he needs to be this way, and that way, and that if I don't feed him soon he will DIE. So, naturally, I get upset and that's when it all sort of started to devolve.
I have flat, nearly inverted nipples. Wearing the nipple shields really didn't help me. I was berated by the nurse (whom I later dismissed), who tried to yank my boob off in order to shove it into my child's mouth while she vicegripped his head and nearly tore one of his ears with her hand. I was sobbing because she told me I was starving my child and that if something went wrong it would be all my fault. I had demanded a lactation consultant the moment I got into the hospital, but they had all left for the day (it was after 6pm when he was born); so I had to wait until well into the next day to be seen.
The lactation consultant comes in and she really doesn't do much to help me; she gets my son on my boob, chats with me for a while, and after a half hour of him nursing, he's done and so is she. I try, and I try, and I just can't seem to do as well as she did, getting Sol on my boob and, finally, because he started lacking wet and dirty diapers, I gave him a little formula, after being begged by a nurse to feed him.
This is where it all began - my traumatic experience with trying to breast feed. So, I've been pumping for the last 6 weeks of his life and feeding him with slow flow nipples. We've battled a hospital stay due to jaundice that the hospital I gave birth at let him go home with, constipation, colic, you name it. I am just so severely, severely depressed because I can not put this baby up to my nipple to latch. did I mention, like his mother and his father, that he also has a short tongue that probably should have been clipped when he was born? His tongue makes it VERY hard to nurse and in fact, sometimes it's even hard to get a pacifier or bottle nipple into his mouth because he can not work his tongue around it. I tried cup feeding him as was suggested and he could not lap up anything with his tongue because he couldn't get his tongue to work.
For the too long didn't read version:
So, basically, my problem here is that my child has a short tongue, I have flat, and nearly inverted nipples, he is 7 weeks old and has been fed expressed milk from the time he was 1 week old. Every week my milk flow has been decreasing in volume and despite my sometimes getting him to latch, it's a trial and is more depressing effort than it is worth to me. He has, in the past week, latched all of 2 times, but for less than 10 minutes a piece. Also, he will only ever go on one side; for some reason he HATES my right boob.
I also do not have a car always available to go see a consultant or to go to the LLL around here. Nor do I have the money really readily available at the moment to invest in a supplementation device, (or anything) which is another problem as well: if there is no milk at my nipple, even if I do get it to pop out, Sol screams, kicks, punches, and gets purely unruly.
Any help with this would be great. I really, really want to breastfeed him, I just don't have the resources, and I've tried everything I have read and can think of.

Angry Chicopee Road Angry residents want potholes filled; highway deptartment overwhelmed with funded FEMA repairs
October 24, 2012 —
A group of disgruntled residents from Chicopee Road returned to the Damascus Township Supervisors' meeting on October 15, and they were angrier than ever.
"We feel that we could have several options at our disposal to fill these enormous potholes," said one resident. "We could fill them ourselves so we don't need you, or we could hire someone to fix them and not pay taxes."
The residents had come to the August township meeting and were assured then that the potholes would be filled. But that didn't happen.
"I left here feeling good two months ago," said resident Arlene Solimine. "And I felt even better when some workmen started fixing the road, but all of a sudden they never came back."
Some residents describe the road as a bombed battlefield.
A second resident said, "Somebody said to a resident, 'You're speeding.' But no one could possibly speed on that road, the holes are so numerous and so deep."
"We were very polite and courteous last time, asking only that the road be fixed," Solimine said. "We tried to be nice people, but if this isn't done, we will bring a lot of people here and not be so nice."
Solimine said that one of the things that attracted her to this area was that people kept their word. "A man's word is his bond up here in our part of the country," she said. "We bought our house on a handshake and that's what attracted me. I want a commitment from you. I want the road to be fixed by November 1. Can you commit to that?"
Road master Chuck Grady said he could.
After the meeting, Grady talked about the pressure to meet deadlines set by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which has given the township over $200,000 to fix the biggest items in the township's workload and given them a deadline of March 1, 2013. The holes were the result of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Irene was a whole lot nicer than Lee, which did the most damage.
"That may seem like a lot of time to satisfy FEMA, but the winters here can be severe," said Ed Lagarenne, zoning officer and emergency management coordinator. "If winter is rough, you just can't work on frozen roads."
Despite that circumstance, Grady says he's sticking to his commitment of November 1.
"We'll get it done. We'll have to spend time on it and not on FEMA jobs. We can do it."

Poultney man denies sugar house theftsJanuary 10,2013Man denies thefts
from sugar houses
A Poultney man charged with stealing thousands of dollars worth of maple sugar making equipment from producers around Rutland County appeared in Rutland criminal court this week for arraignment on six felony charges.
Bryan W. Parker, 29, pleaded innocent to six burglary charges for break-ins at sugar houses in the Rutland area last fall.
Parker, who appeared in court Monday on a citation, was released on conditions including requirements that he stay away from the properties and sugar makers he is charged with stealing from.
If convicted of all six counts, Parker would face a maximum of 75 years in jail.
Vermont State Police arrested Parker last month after receiving help from local maple syrup producers who contacted a syrup-making supply store in New Hampshire where Parker allegedly brought some of the stolen items to exchange for newer parts.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

"Political Parties as Tools of Democracy"
Op-Ed, The Daily Nation, (Kenya)
January 11, 2006
Authors: Calestous Juma, Professor of the Practice of International Development; Director, Science, Technology, and Globalization Project; Principal Investigator, Agricultural Innovation in Africa, Allison DiSenso, Former Research Assistant, Science, Technology, and Globalization Project; Former Faculty Assistant to Calestous Juma

Democracy is at the crossroads in Africa. Most dictators are gone but ethnic supremacy and other sectarian forces are usurping the will of the people. Averting these trends will require a new generation of political parties that campaign for development policy rather than ethnic interests.
This process of defining party platforms will need to be supported by indigenous think-tanks that analyse and elaborate on popular expressions and wishes.
Put another way, Africa has gone a long way in removing the ravages of arbitrary power. What is needed now is to build institutions that strengthen the capacity of the people to control their destiny.
Government programmes need to be guided by smart party platforms that articulate the interests of the people.
Africa has made dramatic democratic strides in recent years. Over the last 15 years, more than 30 countries have abandoned one-party dictatorships in favour of variants of multi-party democracy.
Dramatic democratic strides
More than half of the 53 African countries are electoral democracies, according to a Freedom House classification.
Removing dictators and holding regular elections has hardly been accompanied by the rise of institutions that articulate the interests of voters.
Most political parties are no more than alliances of convenience that advance parochial interests, patronage and cronyism.
Advancing democracy in Africa will require institutions that facilitate communication between the government and voter. In practice, elected officials will seek to promote what is in the nation's best interest, and be responsive to the needs of the electorate.
What Africa needs are specific party platforms that transcend historic, ethnic, religious, and political alliances. Elected governments will, in turn, need to focus on implementing these platforms, which will also help to guard against the excessive control of the development agenda by the civil service.
Party platforms are essentially documents in which political parties enumerate their goals and principles in ways that go beyond rhetorical exhortations. They are the result of thoughtful discussion and compromise, and attempt to reflect the core values and commitments of the party.
Creating effective party platforms will, therefore, require considerable intellectual input, which can be provided through think-tanks and other research institutions. Most African political parties have little intellectual support.
Instead, their manifestos are largely a long list of wishful thinking that is not guided by serious debate and analysis of the future.
It is through such intellectual dialogue that countries can start to map out visions for their future. This process will not only offer voters the opportunity to express their views, but it will also replace routine squabbling with reasoned debate and dialogue.
The struggle against the blatant use of arbitrary power required mass movements. But deepening democracy will require mechanisms that allow society to mobilise and use the best available ideas. Think-tanks and other research-oriented institutions are essential to this process.
In young democracies, party platforms would serve as a stable foundation and source of guidance for government activities.
Parties would be required to develop programmes that reflect the will and needs of the citizenry, and would in turn be elected or defeated based on their policy proposals.
Open dialogue over policy is a key element of democracy. Platforms would foster healthy competition between parties, and as a result, parties would become more distinctive and unique.
The electorate would, in turn, have a choice when voting, and would not be compelled to revert to voting based on ethnic or religious affiliations.
Ability to implement policy
In establishing platforms, parties would become more accountable to the people. By stating future promises, the parties would provide voters with a means of measuring their performance if they are elected.
There would be a greater incentive for parties to fulfil their platform pledges, as their success in subsequent elections would be influenced by their ability to implement policy.
Platforms are not meaningless campaign documents. Rather, they play a significant role in setting the stage for the implementation and execution of policy after an election.
Forming the platforms, and making decisions as a party as to their content and design, can foster healthy debate and discussion, which is considered a pillar of democracy.
In nascent African democracies, party platforms would help facilitate effective and accountable political parties. They are blueprints for the future, and they encourage parties to be responsive to the needs of the electorate, thus helping professionalise the political process.
Building modern political parties and associated think-tanks is, therefore, the most urgent political agenda facing the continent. Failure to do so will result in the abortion of democracy, political chaos and economic decay.

Before the U.S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations, Ralph Regula, Chairman
April 26, 2001
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
I am pleased to appear before the Committee today to testify on the fiscal year 2002 budget request of $460 million for Bilingual and Immigrant Education.
Administration's Reauthorization Proposal
As you know, the Administration is currently working with the Congress to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which covers programs serving limited English proficient and recent immigrant students. These discussions are based largely on the proposal contained in No Child Left Behind -- the President's framework for reforming elementary and secondary education -- to transform existing Bilingual and Immigrant Education programs into a new State formula grant program.
This new program would consolidate the current bilingual discretionary grant activities -- including 13 different Bilingual Education grant activities, two Foreign Language activities, and the Immigrant Education formula program-into a single formula grant that would enable States to design a comprehensive plan for addressing the academic needs of limited English proficient and recent immigrant students.
Under the proposed program, States would have the flexibility to address the academic needs of limited English proficient and recent immigrant students throughout the State. The new program would improve accountability by requiring States to set performance objectives ensuring that limited English proficient students achieve English fluency within three years and meet State standards in core content areas. In particular, States and local educational agencies would be held accountable demonstrating annual increases in English proficiency for students served under the program.
Limited English Proficient Students
The population served by the programs in the Bilingual and Immigrant Education account has grown dramatically over the past decade. States currently report that their schools enroll 3.7 million limited English proficient students, or almost a 50-percent increase over the 2.5 million enrolled in the 1992-93 school year. More importantly for the Department's programs, growth in the numbers of these students is spreading across the Nation. California, New York, and Texas continue to enroll the majority of these students (63 percent), but their share is declining because of the rapid growth in other States. For example, 10 States (Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Idaho, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, and Tennessee) reported that their limited English proficient population more than doubled between 1992-93 and 1996-97. As a result of this growth, limited English proficient students are increasingly enrolled in schools that have little prior experience in serving them. The new program would direct more funds to such schools by targeting funds to States and school districts based on the number of these students rather than through competitive grant awards.
While the number of children who speak a language other than English at home grew by 1.8 million between 1980 and 1990, 71 percent of that increase was among those children who speak English very well. The data thus indicate that language minority students in 1990 were significantly more proficient in English than language minority students in 1980. New 2000 Census data will soon be available that will allow us to gauge if English language acquisition continued to accelerate during the last decade. The proposed State formula program is designed to help increase the rate at which limited English proficient students learn English.
GPRA Indicators
Last year, the Committee expressed support for the Department's performance indicators, developed in response to the Government Performance and Results Act, that measured the speed of transition of limited English proficient students to mainstream classes. Next year, we expect to begin receiving State data that will enable us to measure the rate at which these students and recent immigrant students are learning English, and the extent to which they are achieving to the same high academic standards in core curriculum as all other students.
Budget Request
The fiscal year 2002 request of $460 million for this account is the same as the fiscal year 2001 appropriation. The entire amount, however, would be used under the proposed State formula program that would serve immigrant students as well as native-born students who are not yet proficient in English. The program would provide critical assistance to the Nation's school districts to improve services for more than 3.7 million limited English proficient students who need to learn English quickly in order to succeed in their elementary and secondary education, go on to college, and participate fully in society.
My colleagues and I will be happy to respond to any questions you have regarding the 2002 budget request for Bilingual and Immigrant Education.

Weight history for DD1:
6lb 11oz birth
10lb 0oz ~2 months
14lb 0oz ~4 months
15lb 8oz ~5 months
15lb 8oz ~7 months
For those of you who have read my other posts about increasing supply, I have been able to up my supply enough to cut out the bedtime bottle in the past month. When I am home, my girls are getting 100% BM. When I am at work, I am about 2-5oz short pumping so they get that in formula.
I have noticed in the past 2 weeks or so that DD1 doesn't have as many wet diapers, and certainly not first thing in the morning (STTN) (sometimes a dry diaper in the morning).
At today's DR checkup, DD1 hasn't gained any weight in the past 2 months. The doctor did not mention supplementing, but the fact that wet diapers are fewer and no weight gain 2 months has me wondering what to do.
She is a happy baby and I wonder if she may be hungry but is not demanding more food.
Should I do something? I am Ok with supplmenting, as I have had to supplement something since about 3 weeks and on days that I am working and pumping. How many wets is enough? If doctor isn't concerned, should I not be concerned?

- Abstract
- We present an analysis of the size growth seen in early-type galaxies over 10 Gyr of cosmic time. Our analysis is based on a homogeneous synthesis of published data from 16 spectroscopic surveys observed at similar spatial resolution, augmented by new measurements for galaxies in the Gemini Deep Deep Survey. In total, our sample contains structural data for 465 galaxies (mainly early-type) in the redshift range 0.2 < z < 2.7. The size evolution of passively evolving galaxies over this redshift range is gradual and continuous, with no evidence for an end or change to the process around z ~ 1, as has been hinted at by some surveys which analyze subsets of the data in isolation. The size growth appears to be independent of stellar mass, with the mass-normalized half-light radius scaling with redshift as Re (1 + z)–1.62 ± 0.34. Surprisingly, this power law seems to be in good agreement with the recently reported continuous size evolution of UV-bright galaxies in the redshift range z ~ 0.5-3.5. It is also in accordance with the predictions from recent theoretical models.

Grand Valley mourns Peter Cook
Posted on November 29, 2010
Leaders at Grand Valley State University and in the West Michigan community are mourning the death of friend, philanthropist and business leader Peter C. Cook on November 28, at the age of 96.
Cook was a benefactor whose gifts became milestones of progress for Grand Valley. He supported buildings for the health professions, ecumenical campus ministry, and the university's Grand Rapids campus.
"Grand Valley State University has lost one if its true pillars, and the community has lost a model philanthropist," said Grand Valley President Thomas J. Haas. "Peter was a perennial wellspring of generosity and kindness. His leadership has shaped the Grand Valley you see today. I was saddened to learn of his passing, yet I know his memory and legacy will always be a part of what we do."
Cook was a member of the Advisory Cabinet for The Grand Valley University Foundation. He donated to the Eberhard Center in Grand Rapids and was a member of the "Land Barons," which completed the land acquisition that led to the construction of the Richard M. DeVos Center, which Cook also supported. He and DeVos also teamed up to support the Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences.
"As a member of the Advisory Cabinet for the Grand Valley University Foundation, Peter was dedicated to the success of Grand Valley," said Rich DeVos, general chairman of the Grand Valley University Foundation. "His vision for the university as a valued community asset and his passion for the students inspired all of us. He taught us all how to give."
Cook recently established the Peter C. Cook Leadership Academy housed within the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies, connecting professionals as mentors with students. Cook and Ralph W. Hauenstein were close friends for more than 50 years.
"Peter was a cherished friend and a wonderful colleague over many decades," Hauenstein said. "His spirit of generosity to the people of this community will stand as a permanent monument to the type of person he was. I have always been honored to be his friend."
The Cook Carillon Tower on the Allendale Campus is the most visible evidence of the long record of support from Peter and his late wife Pat. Peter was also honored with a Doctorate of Humanities and named to the Grand Valley State Hall of Fame.
"Pat and I have been supporters of Grand Valley ever since it was founded," Cook said in a previous interview. "God has blessed us to be able to provide this support."
The Cooks' support is evident as the university marks its 50th anniversary this year.
"Peter was a valued, trusted friend and was instrumental to the growth and development of Grand Valley State University," vice president of Development Maribeth Wardrop said. "His leadership on the foundation and the many gifts he gave to the university truly made an impact on Grand Valley and West Michigan."

thanks carol!
recently dd went from 3-5 bowel movements a day to only 1, sometimes 2 every other day and boy are they massive! there is no diaper that can hold what she puts out! :eek: her wets range from 8-10 a day sometimes a little less. her ped only had us supplementing up until that third week, after she had gained the 12 1/2 he just said she was gaining well. i was so afraid to stop supplementing all together so i just cut down to only 1 or 2 bottles a day.
after i see a consultant i'm definetly going to try to ween her off of the formula because if i'm making enough milk for her then i don't want to supplement.
also i had a blockage in one of my breasts a couple of weeks ago and i suspected it was from all the suppelmenting i did in the first few weeks of her life!
i wish more doctors would encourage you and give you information(or at least point you in the direction of the LLL so you can get the info you need, instead of just telling you to supplement.)

Through the European Camp Staff program, young leaders from the Boy Scouts of America have the opportunity to learn more about Scouting in Europe by working at a European Scout center.
The aim of the European Camp Staff program is to assist young people in developing their leadership skills and to encourage intercultural learning. This is achieved by providing the individual with a residential experience as a volunteer staff member at a Scout center in another country.
Scout centers in Europe do not operate in the same way that BSA camps do. The staff members of a typical European Scout center are usually involved in many different aspects of operating the center rather than specializing in one particular area. This is different from the situation in a BSA camp, where staff members are usually assigned to a particular activity or skill with which they work for the majority of their time at camp. In addition, Scouting in Europe normally operates on a coeducational basis, with males and females having the opportunity to be equally involved at all levels.
All participants in the European Camp Staff Program must be between 18 and 30 years of age and must be volunteers registered with the Boy Scouts of America. To ensure that the experience is worthwhile, participants should be prepared to commit themselves to work for a minimum of six weeks.
Before applying, you should be certain that you wish to take part in this program. If you are accepted by a site and then "drop out," that could cause problems for that particular site, as it will prevent other youth from having the opportunity to take part in the program.
For information regarding available centers, please visit http://rovernet.eu/rovernet/?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=151. Do not apply directly through the European center. Interested participants should obtain an application from the International Department, complete the application, and submit it to their local council for the Scout executive's approval. The application should then be mailed to the International Department for processing.
Because the European Region of the World Organization of the Scout Movement administers the European Camp Staff program, the Boy Scouts of America plays a support role only. The BSA's International Department will forward approved applications to the European Region for further processing.
The European Region forwards applications to the host centers for their selection. Once the host centers have selected their participants, applicants will receive all information pertaining to voluntary employment.
After an applicant has been placed, it is the responsibility of the host center and the participant to contact each other and organize all practical details. These will include the exact dates of attendance, travel arrangements, equipment required, and any other information necessary to ensure the placement is a success.
Each host center will aim to provide a worthwhile placement for young leaders from the Boy Scouts of America. A major priority will be the full integration of the participant into the Scout center's staff team. The host center also will endeavor to allocate a suitable amount of time for the participant to experience the culture of the host country through a number of social and tourist activities. As a minimum, appropriate accommodations and full board will be provided for the participant for the duration of the placement.
Well before traveling, make sure that you have a valid passport for your time abroad. Visit the passport section of www.travel.state.gov for information on how to obtain or renew your passport. You should also check whether you need a visa to volunteer in the country where your site is located. You can visit the international travel section of the same website for country-specific visa information. It is of the utmost importance that you secure these travel documents early, as it can take several weeks to months to obtain them.
It is the responsibility of the participants to pay for their own travel to and from the Scout center; however the European Scout Region offers a travel reimbursement at the end of the camp assignment. According to each year's budget, the amount that will be reimbursed can vary, but as a general rule, they aim to cover a minimum of 30 percent of the overall travel costs. The reimbursement will be made in the fall, once the assignment is complete and the participant has returned home.
The BSA provides each participant with camper's accident and sickness insurance.
In the United States, the European Camp Staff Program is administered through the International Department of the Boy Scouts of America. The address is:

Legal drugs more harmfulApril 12,2014Are we being needlessly scared by the so called heroin epidemic in Vermont? Consider the following statistics.
According to the World Health Organization: 5 million people around the world die from tobacco-related causes each year. In 2013, 450,000 of those were in the United States. Nine hundred of those were in Vermont.
Two and a half million people die from alcohol-related causes each year. Its estimated 75,000-100,000 of those were in the United States. In 2013, 183 of those were in Vermont.
Two hundred thousand people die from illegal drugs each year. Ten thousand to twenty thousand of those are in the United States. In 2013 less than a 100 of those deaths were in Vermont; 21 of those were due to heroin.
Where is this heroin epidemic that Governor Shumlin speaks of? Compared to the number of people dying from legal drugs, heroin cannot even be seen in the rearview mirror. Smells like there is a lot of politics at play here.
There is a lot of talk about treatment centers also. Treatment centers are great for stabilizing drug addicts and alcoholics, but in the long run they have swinging doors and those that use those doors have a poor record of staying clean and sober for any length of time.
Many of those who died from tobacco were more likely to use alcohol and drugs, too. The reason for this is people who abuse one drug are unlikely to worry about what another drug might do to their health and people who make bad decisions in regards to one drug have a much higher risk of abusing other drugs also.
The above mentioned statistics show that deaths from drug abuse are modest compared to other drugs used by Vermonters, and alcohol has a much more detrimental effect on Vermonters than any other drug we have seen. The reason is its legal, readily available, accepted by society and easily abused.
Before we allow ourselves to swallow this new heroin epidemic, lets take a look at the drugs that steal the most from Vermont families, alcohol and tobacco.

Everyone seems to agree that Dennis Lehane easily qualifies as one of America's most powerful writers of crime/thriller fiction. With an extremely popular detective series to his credit — not to mention his award-winning Mystic River — Lehane has become one of the most well-paid script writers on television. (He is currently writing for the HBO series, "The Wire.")
Several years ago, Lehane's New Yorker short story, "Until Gwen," attracted considerable attention — enough, in fact, to prompt the author to expand it into a play entitled "Coronado" and parlay the entire package into this short story collection.
Coronado (the book) consists of five short stories and a play. All of the works share a common quality: a half-dozen psychotic males who commit acts of violence with a chilling casualness. However, they often find themselves the hapless victims of other ruthless predators (usually their wives, fathers, lovers or best friends).
"Running Out of Dogs," unwinds like a rural South Carolina version of Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. Since the two good ole boys, Elgin and Blue, have grown up in the town of Eden, Elgin has gradually assumed the role of protector for his diminutive, troubled friend. Even though Elgin is tormented by his own devils (Vietnam), he tries to shield the misfit (Blue) from tormentors.
But when Eden's mayor hires Blue to kill stray dogs (their presence offends a local land developer), Blue acquires a kind of local respectability. He acquires confidence and ventures into new territory — the pursuit of the sensual Jewel Lut, an unhappily married woman with her own hidden agenda. As the town of Eden watches and gossips, events move toward disaster. Blue proves so effective at his new job he eventually eliminates all of the dogs. Now what? Blue seems unwilling to return to obscurity.
"ICU" has a surreal, nightmarish quality. Daniel, the protagonist, thinks he is being stalked, but he has no idea why. Finally, he abandons his home and his job, fleeing from unknown stalkers who increase daily in both numbers and menace. Finally, Daniel blunders into refuge at a hospital and hides in the ICU where he experiences a mysterious sense of well-being. Indeed, all of the patients appear to be in hiding, and although he knows that he will eventually be discovered, his newly-found common bond makes him linger with the other victims. (This story resembles a Kafka parable.)
"Gone Down to Corpus" appears to be based on some of the news reports about astonishing vandalism — bored teenagers who break into expensive homes and engage in rampant destruction. In Lehane's story, the mayhem is prompted by resentment — members of the lower class wreaking vengeance on the wealthy middle/upper class.
However, this story has a provocative conclusion: when the destructive teens find themselves in a noted politician's home, filled with lavish furnishings and expensive trappings, they are suddenly incapable of acting. The grandeur of their surroundings seems to have a power that intimidates them. Like "ICU," this story appears to be a metaphor of society's inability to revolt against their real tormentors — the ruling class.
"Mushrooms" seethes with the same violence and brutality that dominates the nightly news — drive-by shootings and casual violence in drug-fueled territorial wars. However, a Lehane trademark is incongruity — the perverse mix of contrasting elements. In "Mushrooms," it is adolescent puppy love in the brutal world of drugs and mayhem. "Mushrooms" resembles a blood-soaked valentine.
The latter part of Coronado contains both the beautifully crafted short story, "Until Gwen," and the dramatic work which is an expanded version "Until Gwen." Unfortunately, the dramatic work ("Coronado") fails to maintain the taunt tension of the original.
Told in the second person, "Until Gwen" is a masterful rendition of growing suspense. Bobby, the narrator, relates two stories: one concerns his doomed relationship with his father — a man who kills without reason; the other is his love for Gwen, a woman who is one of his father's victims. There are other incidentals — a missing diamond and a bungled robbery — but the crux of Bobbie's tale lies in his final confrontation with his father behind a carnival tent.
Lehane attempts to expand "Until Gwen" into a two-act play by adding two additional plots and thereby presenting a trio of doomed lovers. For this reviewer, the play doesn't work. The additional characters merely diffuse and dilute the explosive tension of the original short story.
But Coronado still contains five classic Lehane short stories and some of the best writing in current thriller/suspense fiction.

Walking through this door is like taking a step into the future.
"It's encouraging to see students coming and utilizing the services," said Heather Gosse, Future Center advisor.
Services which include helping all students from La Crosse Central, Logan, Aquinas and Onalaska Luther figure out what they're going to do after they graduate from high school.
"Just helping to connect students to the different resources that are there and already available to them to make a good decision and a decision that's the right fit for them," said Gosse. "So, they can pursue post-secondary education and be successful, as well."
Heather Gosse is one of two Future Center advisors housed within the high schools. She spends her days booking career speakers, helping students look for scholarships and setting up campus visits, like this one at UW-La Crosse.
"In the beginning, I really had no idea where I wanted to go," said Briana Spicer, Logan High School senior. "And I thought this definitely could narrow down my decision."
"I already know that I'm going to go here," said Alison Felt, Logan High School senior. "So, I just want to check out the campus and see everything and look at the classrooms and all the activities and how to sign up."
"It was really great because they had a chance to hear from an admissions representative to kind of find out what do I need to maybe get into college," said Gosse. "And they did a nice job of talking broadly about that."
A sample lecture from a UW-L professor was also a part of the tour.
"Sometimes students go into this thinking that professors are people that are scary and they can't go and talk to," said Gosse. "But they really dispelled a lot of those misconceptions because they got to see that they're there to help you. To help you be successful."
"I was incredibly nervous coming in to this because I had no idea what to expect," said Spicer. "But this has definitely calmed down my nerves knowing that everybody here wants to see you succeed."
This is exactly the message future center advisors want these students to hear. No matter what path they take to reach their goal.
"We know that not every student we work with is meant to go to a 4-year college and that's perfectly o.k," said Gosse. "There's a lot of great trade and technical and 2-year and 4-year programs, professional degrees. But it just depends on the student. Everybody's different. And it's really kind of figuring out what's best for that student so they can be successful."
This will, of course, help students open many doors into their future.
