Chicago, Ill. A Chicago Public Schools special education teacher and a Homewood first grade teacher were the two Illinois Milken National Educator Award recipients for 2004. Each received the award and recognition during surprise events held at their respective schools. Charles Hall, a teacher who works with special education students at Jacob Beidler Elementary in Chicago, was recognized during a morning event. Nathalie Mingo, a first grade teacher at Willow Elementary in Homewood whose father was also a past recipient, was honored during an afternoon event.
Hall set out to make a career in the world of communication and television production. While he achieved success in the industry, he did not find it as fulfilling as he had hoped. So, Hall made a life-changing decision to become a teacher, and for the last eight years, hes taught at the Jacob Beidler Elementary School in Chicago.
Instead of teaching English or math, Hall chose to teach children with special needs, believing he could make a difference in their lives. The impact he has had on his students was evident on Tuesday morning.
This morning, Hall found himself in a crowded school auditorium filled with students, teachers and dignitaries that included Interim State Superintendent Randy Dunn, and District #299 Superintendent Arne Duncan. Lowell Milken, with the Milken Family Foundation, made an announcement that demonstrated what a difference this southwest side teacher has made in the lives of numerous students he named Hall one of two Illinois 2004 Milken National Educator Award recipients.
The prestigious award is given annually to teachers demonstrating exemplary teaching skills and personal commitment to education. Each winner receives $25,000 from the Milken Family Foundation.
Halls mentoring skills provide another avenue for him to reach out to students. He takes the time to listen to them and work with them in whatever area they need help. When asked about Halls teaching, Beidler Principal Geraldine Moore exclaimed, One of his students had the highest IOWA test scores in the school it doesnt get any better than that!
A passion for teaching isnt perceived only by Halls students. His colleagues describe him as a teacher who continuously sharpens his own knowledge and teaching skills which he then shares to help other teachers. He has a flair for creating new ways to be successful. According to colleagues, his enthusiasm inspires and motivates students and teachers alike.
Hall visits students homes and works closely with parents to encourage them help their children become successful learners. He is well-known throughout the community and coaches events for Special Olympics.
In Homewood, some may say that Nathalie Mingos desire to teach was destined by her gene pool. Her father, Charles, was a teacher before becoming a principal, so Mingo grew up watching her dad help students become successful learners. At an early age, Mingo knew she wanted to follow his lead.
Though she followed in her fathers footsteps, Mingo could never have imagined that eleven years after her father was named a Milken National Educator that she, too, would receive the same prestigious recognition. For the Mingo family, history repeated itself Tuesday afternoon in the crowded gymnasium of Willow Elementary School in Homewood.
Mingo has been a first grade teacher at Willow for eight years. School administrators have long noted her love of education. Her colleagues credit her with consistently sharing new strategies and creative ideas for improving teaching. They say that Mingos success as a teacher stems from her ability to always find the positive in any situation. Other teachers look to her for guidance and she always provides them with innovative techniques. Mingo firmly believes that through camaraderie, she will ultimately achieve her goalhelping all students become successful learners.
I love to visit her classroomI always learn something! said Melissa Lawson, assistant principal of Willow.
Based on her own learning experiences as a child, Mingo fully understands the necessity of parental involvement in education. To that end, she makes weekly folders for her students parents so they are always aware of what their child is studying and can help further that learning.
Mingos boundless enthusiasm and positive attitude have earned her the respect of her colleagues, students, parents, administrators, and the community. The success she has in helping children read is practically legendary around the district.
Mingo now joins 96 Illinois educators to date, including her father who received the award in 1993, to be nationally recognized by the Milken Family Foundation. Charles Hall, a special education teacher at Jacob Beidler Elementary School in Chicago, is the other 2004 Illinois Milken educator. The award is given annually to teachers demonstrating exemplary teaching skills and personal commitment to education. Each winner receives $25,000 from Milken Family Foundation, which they can use for any purpose.
This year, 100 teachers in 47 states and the District of Columbia will receive Milken awards. To date, the Milken Family Foundation has honored 2,077 teachers and principals, distributing more than $51 million in awards.

NEW YORK, NY (WDSU) -- Employees at Lowe's in New York came to the rescue of a Vietnam veteran who had been waiting two years for a new wheelchair.
Michael Sulsona said the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs had denied his requests for a replacement.
Last week, his wheelchair fell apart while shopping at a Lowe's on Staten Island.
Three employees immediately jumped in to help, taking the wheelchair apart and replacing the broken parts while a tearful Sulsona watched.
Forty-five minutes after the store closed, Sulsona left in a wheelchair that was "like new," he wrote in a letter to the Staten Island Advance newspaper.
"I kept thanking them and all they could say was, 'It was our honor,'" Sulsona wrote.
Since the letter was published, VA officials sent Sulsona a custom wheelchair and have pledged to service his chair when needed.
"We were very sorry to hear about the reported circumstances surrounding Mr. Sulsona's request for a new wheelchair. We quickly investigated and can report the Veteran's new custom wheelchair was delivered to him today and it along with his back up will be serviced by the VA as needed," a department spokesperson told Buzzfeed.

Happy Birthday Jackie Robinson
Jackie Robinson would have been 92 today. I posted this a year ago today It has some pictures that I took around including some from a library.
The end of the article from the Times magazine from1947 that I took a picture of is hard to read so here it is:
"After Slaughter did his spiking a month ago, a group of Brooklyn players came to Jackie and said "If they give you the works, give it back to them–and the team will be behind you 100%." That was the day Jack Roosevelt Robinson won his long patient battle"
Happy Birthday Jackie!

You are so welcome Ron. I hope you are doing OK with the weather. Our office in Chicago was closed yesterday and few people showed up at our plants in NH. Cheer up! Spring is around the corner!
This is wonderful Emma! The article, your thoughts, everything. Thank you for sharing it with us!
It would have been something to see him play and break the barrier back in the 40s. When I was growing up Shaq Oniel hosted a sports show on nickelodeon. There was one that focused on African American children in Brooklyn at that time. Great program.
You are welcome Kristen! Congrats on making the January MLB Blog list!
Funny that you should mention Shaq. I was thinking about him yesterday. I was at the Staple Center watching the Lakers against the Spurs. Lost by a point. Lakers better start playing better BUT Spring is in the air!
Happy belated birthday, Jackie! It is incredible to think about how significantly he impacted the game of baseball. And MLB honors him well. The fact that he is the only player with his number retired league-wide reminds me to have the utmost respect for his accomplishments.
As outspoken as Jackie was, to have that much control over himself speaks volumes. I prooudly show up with my Jackie Robinson at the stadium. Thanks for posting!
This is a great post. Jackie Robinson was a great ball player, and a great role model for many generations of both fans and ball players.
Holly! You are back! Glad to see the regular MLB group back posting!

After assessing Int B events and the Grand Prix Series I thought I would make a start of the favourites for the upcoming European Championships to be held in Sheffield - GB.
Favourite: Carolina Kostner - Italy
Great choice of programs this year for Carolina (as like last year) she has scaled down her technical repertoire which has helped her mentally and she has slowed slightly to adjust her timing on her jumps, good speed and flow and excellent transitions. Artistry is beautiful, a maturity on the ice.
Closest Challenger: Alena Leonova - Russia
Seems to be getting better as the season progresses, strong points are her mental toughness and a strong flair on the ice - full of emotion, needs to still work on the transitions but her 3+3 is good. finally a medal at Europeans for Alena - possibly Gold.
Other Challengers:
Elene Gedevanishvili - Georgia, Her change of coach has helped her, her spins and steps very good and her triple lutz is probably one of the best.
Viktoria Helgesson - Sweden - Has worked very hard this year and as always (like Caro) her artistry is lovely and a maturity on the ice - a diva. Her jumps seemed to let her down but she is renowned as a free skater, if she puts the jumps together she will be a threat. Programs are also lovely this year.
Elena Glebova - Estonia I thought I put Elena in because on evidence of her B Events she has improved very much (like Elene the change of coach has done her good) she seems to be more faster and her 3+3 is as good as Alena. Her SP in particular is very good. I see a top 8 finish for her next year.
Adelina Sotnikova - Russia, I am assuming she is eligible this year (unlike Liza) she reminds me a lot of Yu Na Kim and on evidence of the grand prix circuit a force to be reckoned with, but making the transition to senior level has not been easy for her, but she is the dark horse. She could win or plummet?.
I have not mentioned Kiira Korpi or Laura Lepisto, but Finland could struggle to get on the podium. The first time since 2006 (Finland has medaled between 2007-2011). Laura has struggled with injuries and we do not know whether she will be back and Kirra has had injury problems this year as well and it has showed as she has not had the time to master the timing on her jumps. Beautiful skaters in their own right we hope they will be back strong for 2013.

37 Styling Tricks to Steal From the Streets of Men's Fashion Week
Killer style really is all in the details. Whether it's a jaunty bow tie, a pair of electric-hued socks, or a dozen delicate bracelets worn in a stack, there's no doubt that small statements can add up to major impact — even when paired with the most serious of duds. An up-close peek at all the little ways industry folk kept it sartorial at the recent men's shows in Milan, London, and Florence right here, in the slideshow.

A Madison Police Department spokesman couldn't say Thursday whether the department would consider a third-party investigator in the future.
"I've heard that question asked before and that's not something I can really comment on in terms of who does the fact-finding mission, if you will. Those are decisions that are made on different levels," said Howard Payne, a Madison Police Department spokesman.
The Dane County Sheriff's Office appointed a lieutenant to shadow the internal fact-finding. Madison police have done that in the past when county deputies have been involved in shootings.
Frei, who has been in law enforcement for 20 years, said he couldn't remember the last time a local officer was actually found at fault in a shooting. Heimsness continues to serve as treasurer of the police union.
Amelia and Nathan Royko Maurer, Heenan's roommates on South Baldwin Street, called the premise of the internal investigation "absurd."
"They're investigating themselves -- doesn't that seem absurd?" asked Amelia Royko Maurer. "And then (Ozanne) gets to decide whether criminal charges are brought against this officer -- that seems so totally outrageous."
Heenan's roommates said that even with a final decision, they and other neighbors remain stunned over the shooting.
"The officer gets a second chance on life or continued duty on the force," Nathan Royko Maurer said. "Our friend Paulie gets nothing, and his family gets nothing."
"We're angry, and we're sad, and our hearts are broken for his parents," Amelia Royko Maurer said. "Even if the DA had done the right thing and charged Stephen Heimsness, they still don't get their son back."
There has been an increased level of scrutiny surrounding Heimsness because of his use of force in two separate incidents.
In 2006, Heimsness reportedly kneed and kicked a man he was arresting at a downtown bar, which the Madison Police Department determined was within reason for the situation. But the city of Madison settled a $27,000 deal with the man's attorney after witnesses said that he was intentionally struck in the head by Heimsness in the incident.
In 2001, Heimsness fired his gun, shooting out the front tires of a car in a university-area parking garage. Heimsness said he thought the driver was going to hit him. He was suspended without pay for 15 days for the incident.

I'm nailing Felton on the cross NOW before he goes on a streak of these type of games. He did in Portland last season and he'll do it again. Trust me guys. We should be alarmed.

i really thinkg mda was bombing on purpose so he could force the FO to get him a pg. now the offense has flow and were showing we could probably get by without one. it seemed like the bulls made every jump shot they took and if they miss just one of those we just beat the best team in the conference. with a little more time to gel we can get back to being one of the better offenses in the league.
Lol, 22 games into the season and still need "time to gel," if you haven't gelled in one third of the season under the current circumstances...it ain't happening.
These dudes all have established basketball games, it's up to the coach to put the pieces together to complete the puzzle, not reshape them to make the picture you want.
There is no more time to gel. That passed a while ago.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
Melo could have moved quicker but he was coming into 2 defenders he wanted to make a move but he was trapped no one was open only reason he got that shot off was they didn't wanna foul. We were screwed either way. bad calls by the refs, Douglas and Jeffries in the game too much, no Steve Novak when we need a 3, STAT and Melo got hacked like 5 times and got no calls
I know that the knicks should be feeling a little stunned and pissed for losing, but they should feel confident for giving the best team in the eastern conference a hell of a game and playing a great game that came down to the very last seconds of it, not feel low and back to the low confidence, losing streaks etc, they gotta build on this....they should carry the confidence and great play to Boston tommorow and beat our arch nemesis the Celtics
Im hoping for a loss tomorrow...
Most teams in the league would KILL to be able to play the Bulls this close. This game literally came down to the last minute and we lost. It sucks, but this **** happens even to the good teams. This loss isn't really that bad, and the only reason why it feels terrible is because we lost to **** teams like the Suns, the Cavs, the Raptors, the Bobcats, and whatnot.
Putting Novac in wouldve been a much better strategy.......
We were down by 3 with 16 seconds left....Melo & Tyson couldve
screen for Stat to dunk....Chicago was not going to stop the clock
by fouling Stat.
What bothers me is - what if - the shoe was on the other foot, would
coach Thib go for the 3-ball shot (Kover) with 16 seconds remaining,
or would he have Rose quickly slash the lane for 2 points, then foul
the Knicks bringing in the ball giving Chicago the ball in the final 8 seconds.
During every time-out today Dantonio was on one knee with his clipboard out addressing the team......A far cry from standing in the Love Circle with his brother and the other coaches away from the team.....
For the life of me I cannot understand his playing Douglas so many minutes....He made so many crucial mistakes with TO "s and fouls then missed crucial shots......Should have went with Walker or Novak......
We lost this game b/c Carmelo choked again in the 4th. When it mattered most he was getting his shot blocked left and right. 2 points in the quArter? Another disgrace. we trailed entire game, and chi played last night while we rested. we split the next 2... running out of time people. Mt den friend was right tho. for every game winner melo sinks, he blows you 4 games w/ atrocious 4th q play. terrible loss.
Watching Gallo and Mozgov dominate in this Clipper game depresses the hell outta me..

As a topic discussed a lot in Session 3.2 of the Health Privacy Summit, "Control of patient information – Health Information Exchanges," this subject is the tip of the iceberg on the many risks of electronic health records that must be addressed as billions of stimulus dollars go into creating a health IT infrastructure.

Winds SW at 28 knots, seas 2-4 feet
Yesterday, we got a few CTDs in before the wind picked up, at which point we headed in and stayed a very comfortable distance from the shore – to shield us from the winds mostly, but also to dangle the carrot of port before us…
Nevertheless, these past few days have gone fast; despite the weather there has been much to do on board, from sorting the last coral samples to packing everything up and stowing things away. We've been compiling all of our visual data – all of the HD footage and frame grabs – as well as cleaning up our sorting and cleaning stations, taking apart our nets, and generally getting everything ready so we just have to take things off the ship when we get to port. Most of our coral samples will actually stay on the ship until it comes back to the U.S.; Nithya is taking some samples with her on the plane, but a majority of them will be stowed down in the scientific stores of the Thompson. Our first stop in Hobart is to switch out Jason containers, and then we're back to the CSIRO dock to unload and get our land legs back!
Meanwhile, there has been quite a commotion in Hobart as a Dutch Vessel, the Steve Irwin, has been trying to gain permission to dock. The controversy surrounds the ship's mission, which is to deter Japanese whaling vessels in the Southern Ocean. A loophole in Japanese law allows "research" ships to catch a small, but not insignificant, quota of whales every year for the supposed goal of scientific research, but most end up in the Japanese fish markets. The Steve Irwin has been antagonizing the Japanese whaling fleet for some time, including using some rather drastic tactics – the last captain apparently rammed a Japanese ship on the open ocean! They have been very successful so far in deterring the whaling fleet, and have chased several ships out of whaling territory. However, their rather militant tactics have gotten quite a lot of press, and the Japanese government has urged the Australian authorities to deny the Steve Irwin port for refueling and restocking. The fact is, however, that about half of the crew is Australian, not to mention the ship's name itself! The Steve Irwin has finally been granted access to port, and is berthing not too far from the CSIRO docks, so we might see some protesters, hopefully from a comfortable enough distance!

Abel Lee Martinez, who was 26 when the murder was committed on May 13, 2011, was the main defendant in the first case, according to public information personnel for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Martinez was discovered in a William G. McConnell Unit shower, covered with blood, shortly after his cell mate, Carlos Rodriguez, was found stabbed in his cell.
Others indicted in the same incident were Michael Rivera and Joe Angel Roberts. All three were indicted on a murder charge.
The offense is a first degree felony. If convicted, they could be sentenced to 99 years or life in prison.
Jason Clark, TDCJ public relations officer, said Martinez was suspected of being a member of a prison gang at the time of the offense.
Martinez was serving a six-year sentence at the time of the murder after being convicted of burglary of a building, burglary of a habitation, theft and assault/bodily injury, all in Dallas County.
According to an investigator with the TDCJ's Office of the Inspector General, the victim suffered blunt trauma, stab wounds and signs of strangulation.
Clark said the victim was rushed to the prison infirmary and later taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Beeville, where he was pronounced dead by the doctor on duty.
He was serving a life sentence at the time of his death on a manslaughter conviction in Dallas County.
According to the indictments, Rivera was serving a sentence on a robbery conviction out of Hale County, and Roberts had previous convictions for burglary of a habitation in Travis County and for murder, theft and possession of a controlled substance out of Hill County.
District Judge Joel Johnson set bond on each of the defendants at $100,000.
Grand jurors also indicted another McConnell Unit inmate, 32-year-old Juan M. Ovalle, on a murder charge.
That also is a first degree felony.
Ovalle is suspected of having killed 30-year-old John Gutierrez in the cell they both shared on July 25, 2011.
Investigators said the victim was found unresponsive in his cell and that he was locked in with the suspect at the time.
Ovalle was removed from the cell, and Gutierrez was taken to the McConnell Unit medical facility and later transferred to CSHB, where he was pronounced dead.
The victim reportedly had blunt force trauma and signs of strangulation.
Gutierrez was serving a two-year sentence at the time on a conviction for possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, with intent to deliver. That conviction was in Harris County on Jan. 11, 2011.
Ovalle was in prison after being convicted of Bexar County in 1999 on charges of murder, aggravated assault/serious bodily injury and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
His bond was also set at $100,000 by Johnson.

Welcome to another post of Amor de Lacquer….the series all about nail polish and nail care! Send me your requests, suggestions and ideas to email@example.com.
Oh. My. Goodness!! That's it. Nubar has done it. This is probably one of the most creative and beautiful collections I have EVER seen. I'm not kidding. Nubar's Going Green is so appropriate with the "green" trend we've been seeing. And every single one of these greens are highly unique and just gorgeous!! Nubar's polishes are free of DBP, formaldehyde and toluene.
Nail blogger extraordinaire, Scrangie and I were talking about how fabulous this color is. It's a holo!! Next to creams, holographic polishes are my favorite kind of polishes. They look like….unreal. Reclaim is absolutely flawless. It's like a rainbow is trapped in a grass green polish. It has serious bling!
Wow….I have no words for this color. It is incredibly unique. You can't tell me it isn't. At a first glance it may look gold. But look closer, darling. It's green! It looks like golden mustard mixed in with pea green. It is two steps down from a holopgraphic polish and I love it. I have never seen any colors like it.
I can't get over how dead on Nubar's names for these polishes are. Forest really does remind me of….a forest. Aaand, it's a cream! A beautiful one at that. Look how shiny it is without a top coat. This is a perfect green. It reminds me a lot of BB Couture's Poison. But they aren't twins because Poison is a little darker.
Yes, Greener gets more photos because I think it just looks fan-friggin'-tastic on my nails. Some colors make your nails look…..amazing. Greener is one of those colors. The only other emerald green that I have that come come close to this one is Sinful Colors' San Francisco. Emerald green polishes=love.
"What is Earth you say? It is the place where we rise and fall each day." –I wrote a poem titled Earth when I was in the 6th grade. That poem was so amazing that I performed it in a contest. Ahem, that I lost. But I digress. Earth is a hunter green with neon blue undertones. That I like. It's an unexpected kind of green but it definitely holds its place in the collection.
Wow! I am just shocked at how different all of these greens are. Conserve almost looks like a lighter version of Earth. Almost. Conserve also has some blue undertones albeit not neon blue like Earth but I love the shimmery effect it gives.
I can NOT believe this collection. It's just….wonderful. Nubar thought this one out. There is a green for everyone! I would have liked to see a neon green just for fun. Or maybe even a green glitter. I would love to see a "Going Green Again" collection. LOL! Great great job, Nubar! Fantastic! Amazing!
The application for each was good. Forest gave me a few issues with wanting to drag at the cuticles but that is the case with most creams. I forgave him after seeing how beautiful he was. Two coats should do you good although I looooved Wildfire with three coats. I love that this collection has a base and top coat.
I really am a Nubar fan. The polishes don't smell as bad as most polishes. And they dry hella fast! You can get the entire collection here for $49.95 or purchase single bottles for $7.49. They are highly recommended by me! Expect to see more Nubar in the future. I am soooo eyeing the Pastel Fever collection and the Cleopatra Collection. An entire collection of purple polishes? *faints* Nubar, you have my heart.
Ever try any Nubar polishes? Which green is your favorite?
Your fellow nail polish junkie,

Journal Article
© Jan 2013 Volume 11 Issue 1, ECKM 2012, Editor: Dr Juan Gabriel Cegarra and Dr María Eugenia Sánchez, pp1 - 115
Look inside Download PDF (free)
This paper analyses the nature of the impact of learning on the adoption of information technologies (IT) and vice versa in the naval sector. It is necessary for a shipyard to acquire new knowledge, distribute it, interpret it, and store it enabling the use of Information Technologies by internal and external agents. For this reason, a model must be found in order to examine the impact of IT on the codification of knowledge considering external agents (customers, suppliers and retired personnel) and internal agents (engineers, workers and managers) in the shipyard. The authors investigate the implementation of IT through a learning process in the naval industry through a case study. The authors collected data through interviews and presented a model depicting linkages between agents of a shipyard organization (customer, suppliers, engineers, workers, directors), knowledge‑related processes (codification, storage, reutilization) and benefits. Following discussion of the model, authors conclude that acquiring external knowledge is beneficial and facilitating interactions between agents increases the benefits for the shipyard organization. In the study it is possible to appreciate that acquiring and distributing knowledge from external agents is a previous step to the codification of this knowledge using Technological tools. Only considering this sequence, it is guaranteed a knowledge update by internal agents in the shipyard. During the last few years the naval industry has been modernized in defence matters and a lot of money has been spent in IT. That is why it is necessary to assess the use of IT and learning in this sector as well as to analyse the knowledge learning process and systematisation used in the naval industry during the different phases required for construction. Finally, the results have implications for managers of the shipyard when they make a choice as to the organizational capabilities to target in order to ensure the effective adoption of IT.

Hundreds run for Zimmermann's memory, justice
Over four years have passed since body was found
Brittany Zimmermann was just 21 years old when her murdered body was found in an apartment near the UW-Madison campus in the spring of 2008.
Her unanswered 911 call led to lawsuits and an overhaul off the Dane County Public Safety Communications Center.
While it's been over four years since Zimmermann's death, the community and police haven't stopped searching for her killer.
On Saturday, her family honored her memory with the third annual "Brittany Run."
Hundreds of walkers and runners laced up their sneakers for the picturesque 5K run/walk that this year traveled down the Lakeshore Path by Lake Mendota.
"The downtown area is all torn up on Langdon Street," said race director Erik Pearce. "And we wanted to move it out so we had a little more room."IDEO
Despite a change in location, organizers said their mission remains the same.
"To make sure people can be aware of what can happen," said Brittany's mom Jean. "And hopefully it will never happen again."
"It's also about giving her a legacy moving forward," added Pearce. "We want to make Brittany the face of crime prevention, the champion of fighting crime in the area. So instead of being just a victim, she moves ahead of that and can kind of help out and live on year after year."
Since her death in 2008, Zimmermann's mom and others have been working to create legislation that will make it easier to collect DNA from potential suspects.
"It's called 'DNA Saves,'" said Jean Zimmermann, "and it is upon arrest, and I really think it will make a difference in Brittany's case."
The police agree with the proposed legislation.
"If we get it at the point of arrest, we'll increase the DNA data bank," said Madison police chief Noble Wray. "It will make a more efficient and effective way of providing safety in this state."
As hundreds finished the race on Saturday, Madison police continue to hope to cross a finish line of their own by bringing Brittany's killer to justice.
Organizers aren't sure if next year's event will return to its original location at Monona Terrace.
Today's donations will go toward Madison Area Crime Stoppers.

Good quality!
Dr. Nanba's Maitake Beta-Factor Liquid by Planetary Herbals is a good quality maitake extract. My only issue is that it could be more potent. I have made tea out of wild, locally grown maitake mushroom before and you can see how strong the effect really can be when you do that.
Good quality.
Could be stronger.

Just 25 miles north of the historic mining town of Durango, Colorado.
Arapahoe Basin
A small area with a big-mountain feel, set on the jagged western slope of the Continental Divide, half above tree line, and high enough to hold snow into June.
Wolf Creek's rare combination of excellent snow and non-existent lift lines make it a favorite of skiers in the Southwest—and well worth the trip for anyone seeking an off-the-beaten path gem. Its location in the San Juan mountains averages 465" of snow each year, and it's often the case that this mountain has ample fresh powder when others in Colorado don't. With 1600 acres (25% of which are advanced; the rest beginner and intermediate) and seven lifts, there's ample terrain for skiers of all abilities.
Family-owned and operated for over 70 years, Wolf Creek is known for friendly service and great kids' programs. For children ages 5-8, check out the Wolf Pups program, geared toward fun and on-the-snow confidence. Kids 9-12 can join Hot Shots Ski and Snowboard Adventures, earning medals and exploring the entire mountain as they progress through various techniques and abilities.

Ginger Baker is back with his first new album in 15 years, Why?, released by Motema Records. It features his Jazz Confusion band, who have accompanied him on tours in the UK, Europe and Japan and also on several sold-out dates in the US. The sound is both a return to Baker's roots and a new exploration of the kind of cross-genre, innovative fusion that he has always championed since his afrobeat years in Nigeria with Fela Kuti in the 70s.
Why? continues that tradition thanks in no small part to Ghanaian percussion powerhouse Abass Dodoo. The two have worked together for several years now and it certainly shows; the charged interplay between Dodoo's explosive exuberance and Baker's trademark disciplined insistence has been honed into a web of complex rhythm that forms the backbone of each piece.
Meanwhile, funk giant Pee Wee Ellis, who got his start as bandleader for James Brown, lays down line after line of effortless bluesy soul on the tenor sax; in a quartet where half the musicians are percussionists, both Ellis and bassist Alec Dankworth are called on to sustain the melodic element just between the two of them, a challenge they more than rise to.
It's an unconventional line-up and an unconventional sound from a man who has never done what anyone expected of him; once voted 'Musician Least Likely To Survive The 60s', Ginger Baker is still here, still playing and still pushing boundaries.
Described as 'The Man Who Invented Funk', Pee Wee joined the James Brown Revue in 1965 and began arranging his music almost right away, becoming Brown's band leader within six months. Very soon they were writing songs together and in 1967 Pee Wee co-wrote with James Brown his first hit Cold Sweat, followed by many others including Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud, Mother Popcorn, and The Chicken.
Pee Wee also worked for many years as Van Morrison's concert musical director and arranging many of his finest albums such as Common One, Beautiful Vision and A Sense Of Wonder.
With Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker he recorded a number of albums in the 1980s that defined his distinctive brand of jazz-funk.
As well as playing with Ginger Baker, Pee Wee currently leads both The Pee Wee Ellis Funky Assembly and The Pee Wee Ellis Jazz Quartet. He continues to work in the education field as well as producing and arranging.
Abass was born into a family of well-known royal Ghanaian drummers and began drumming from the age of 6 by his grandmother, who taught him the drums by singing the rhythms. He was formally trained by his uncle, the famous Ghanaian master drummer Mustapha Tettey Addy, playing with the Royal Obonu Drummers from the age of 10 years.
As well as performing, Abass has been delivering workshops and classes for the past 30 years, nationally and internationally. He leads African collective One-Drum's dynamic performance work in a wide range of Africa's drumming traditions.
Alec Dankworth is an award-winning jazz bassist and composer who, in addition to leading several groups of his own, has worked with an amazing list of artists including Van Morrison, Stephanne Grappelli, Abdullah Ibrahim, and The Dave Brubeck Quartet. He is known for his energetic stage presence, versatility of style and some of the most imaginative bass solos around!
Mark certainly is one of the most astonishing drummers on this planet with a mind boggling concept of time, creativity and speed that is bordering the super human. Mark began his professional career touring and recording with saxophonist Courtney Pine. Mark has earnt an enviable reputation as one of the finest drummers the UK ever produced. Mark has worked with many artist ranging from rock guitarist Keith More to jazz greats such as: Julian Joseph, John McLaughlin and Kevin Eubanks. Marks never ceases to amaze audiences with his awe-inspiring technique, subtle feel and sheer inventiveness.
Ginger Baker's recognition as a drummer began during the Graham Bond Organisation in the early sixties. The band toured with The Who, The Troggs, The Moody Blues and Chuck Berry, attracting press interest for their outrageous behaviour and riotous fun. In 1964 Baker was considered 'one of Britain's great drummers' by Melody Maker journalist, Chris Welch.
While Baker was impressing music journalists, he was also attracting attention from other musicians, one of them being Eric Clapton. The two met, jammed, saw one another play in their then current bands, added bass player Jack Bruce and formed Cream. In Baker's own words they created 'instant magic' and began touring earning £45 per show, to later smashing box office records previously set by The Beatles.
After Cream, came Blind Faith. Baker and Clapton were joined by Steve Winwood and Rick Grech to make just one album. When Clapton and Winwood left to further their own projects, the remaining members went on to form jazz rock fusion band 'Ginger Baker's Airforce' adding sax, flute, organ and extra percussion to the band.
During a trip to Africa Baker found himself moved and inspired by Nigerian radio. Despite the war zone in that part of the country he was adamant about visiting Nigeria and pushed to set up a recording studio in Lagos. When it opened as 'Batakota Studios' Paul McCartney arrived with Wings to record part of his 'Band on the Run' album. Music aside, Africa gave Baker a wonderful climate to live in and a healthier lifestyle than that of rock n roll and touring. He discovered his love for polo and rally driving.
Baker's work with Airforce and friendship with Fela Kuti pathed the way for Baker's next musical project: to work with African musicians. A live album was recorded in Abbey Road studios under the name of 'Fela Ransome - Kuti and Africa 70 with Ginger Baker'.
He then went on to form English rock group The Baker Gurvitz Army in which Baker was also involved with providing extra sounds for their debut album. The wheel spins from his Jensen FF were used for their song 'Mad Jack'. He also rode a wheeled swivel chair backwards down a flight of stairs for a second track on their debut album.
Ginger Baker Jazz Confusion was formed in 2012; since then, the band has toured Europe, the UK and the US, and show no signs of stopping!

It isn't every day the yard is covered in snacks. Crunchy on the outside, they have a nutty flavor, similar to peanuts or almonds, according to those who partake.
Suspended inside vibrant colored gelatin, they are sure to cause a buzz of conversation at a party.
They also make for good pizza toppers, add a crunch to homemade candy and ice cream, and make for a chewy treat when found fresh and glistening — or so some say.
They can even be roasted and salted for a crispy treat.
In a way it makes sense to explore the potential of a food source, especially when one has to wonder what, exactly, to do when thousands of insects descend like a plague.
And not just any insects — make that rather large, loud, red-eyed, alien looking insects.
This spring the children of Brood II will emerge from the ground where they have been living for the last 17 years.
While it will impact an isolated area, it will be epic nonetheless, occurring up and down the East Coast from Connecticut to Virginia.
Biblical in proportion, Magicada's, a specific species of cicada, can emerge to the tune of more than a million per acre — an overwhelming number that scientists speculate may be a defense mechanism of sorts.
By literally over-satiating predators, probability guarantees a large number of them will succeed in their mission — reproduction.
After spending nearly two decades underground, the emergence of the cicada from the warming spring soil marks the last couple months they will live, long enough to procreate and beget the next brood, thus starting the 17-year clock all over again.
And while cicadas are present around the globe, attracting little attention on their own, the seven species of periodic cicada are impossible to ignore.
Taking to the trees, the males sing for mates, making quite a raucous, punctuated with buzzing and clicking that seems monumentally loud, even when taking into account their size.
Sucking sap from plants, they can destroy crops and damage young shrubs and trees, however, they also serve as exceptional nutrition for animals, and the deaths of those uneaten serve to enrich the soil.
Next year, it will be Brood III in Iowa, Illinois and Missouri, then in 2015, Brood IV will emerge in six states from Iowa to Texas, and each year after, a new brood in a new region is expected.
But if New Mexicans have any interest in witnessing a brood emergence, they will have to travel to do it — with regions west of Texas absent from 100 years of data recorded on the 12, 17-year broods tracked in the U.S.
Travel will also be required for those who have interest in trying out the tasty recipes some adventurous East Coasters are preparing in anticipation of Brood II's arrival.
However, while no plagues of large, loud insects are predicted for the Southwest, nature is not likely to neglect the region — if the last cycle was any indication — droves of miller moths will arrive in the next month or so.
And the flies will follow.
While the daring and hardy spirit of the southwestern folks is not debated, rest assured, if miller moths or flies end up in the Jello or on top of pizza, there was no gourmet intent.
Not for lack of creativity, but more for the fact that we spend way too much time fighting to keep them away from the food to give in now.

Eagle Scout rank
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
|The Eagle Scout rank requirements were revised effective January 1, 2008.
|Eagle Scout Rank
The Eagle Scout Rank is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America. Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout Rank has been earned by more than 1.7 million young men. The title of "Eagle Scout" is held for life, thus giving rise to the phrase "Once an Eagle, always an Eagle".
Requirements include earning a number of merit badges and demonstrating Scout spirit, service, and leadership. This includes an extensive service project that the Scout plans, organizes, leads, and manages. Eagle Scouts are presented with a medal and a badge that visibly recognizes the accomplishments of the Scout. Additional recognition can be earned through Eagle Palms, awarded for completing additional tenure, leadership, and merit badge requirements.
Eagle Scout rank requirements
2015 requirements
Official notes (part of the rank requirements)
As of Jan. 1, 2014, the Cooking merit badge is required for the Eagle Scout rank.
For Varsity Scouts working on Boy Scout requirements, replace "troop" with "team" and "Scoutmaster" with "Varsity Scout Coach." For Venturers working on Boy Scout requirements, replace "troop" with "crew" and "Scoutmaster" with "Crew Advisor." For Sea Scouts working on Boy Scout requirements, replace "troop" with "ship" and "Scoutmaster" with "Skipper."
AGE REQUIREMENT ELIGIBILITY. Merit badges, badges of rank, and Eagle Palms may be earned by a registered Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, or Venturer. He may earn these awards until his 18th birthday. Any Venturer who achieved the First Class rank as a Boy Scout in a troop or Varsity Scout in a team may continue working up to his 18th birthday toward the Star, Life, and Eagle Scout ranks and Eagle Palms. An Eagle Scout board of review may occur, without special approval, within three months after the 18th birthday. Local councils must preapprove those held three to six months afterward. To initiate approval, the candidate, his parent or guardian, the unit leader, or a unit committee member attaches to the application a statement explaining the delay. Consult the Guide To Advancement in the case where a board of review is to be conducted more than six months after a candidate's 18th birthday.
If you have a permanent physical or mental disability, or a disability expected to last more than two years, or beyond age 18, you may become an Eagle Scout by qualifying for as many required merit badges as you can and qualifying for alternative merit badges for the rest. If you seek to become an Eagle Scout under this procedure, you must submit a special application to your local council service center. Your application must be approved by your council advancement committee before you can work on alternative merit badges.
A Scout or Venturer with a disability may work toward rank advancement after he is 18 years of age if he meets the guidelines outlined in the Guide To Advancement.

The BSA's highest award was originally conceived of as the Wolf Scout, as shown in the June 1911 Official Handbook for Boys. The August 1911 handbook subsequently changed this to Eagle Scout. The medal illustrated in the handbook was a profile of an eagle in flight, but was changed to the current design before any were issued. In their original conceptions, Life Scout, Star Scout (Life preceded Star until 1924) and Eagle Scout were not ranks, but part of the merit badge system that recognized Scouts who had earned a specified number of merit badges. Eagle Scout was awarded to any First Class Scout who had earned 21 merit badges. Consequently, eight of the first nine Eagle Scouts did not earn the ranks of Life or Star.
The first Eagle Scout medal was awarded in 1912 to Arthur Rose Eldred, a 17-year-old member of Troop 1 of Rockville Centre, Long Island, New York. Eldred was notified that he was to be awarded the rank of Eagle Scout in a letter from Chief Scout Executive James West, dated August 21, 1912. The design of the Eagle Scout medal had not been finalized by the National Council, so the medal was not awarded until Labor Day, September 2, 1912. Eldred was the first of three generations of Eagle Scouts; his son and grandson hold the rank as well. Since then, more than 1.7 million Scouts have earned the rank. In 1982, 13-year-old Alexander Holsinger, of Normal, Illinois, was recognized as the one-millionth Eagle Scout.
A total of 1,835,410 Scouts have earned Eagle Scout as of the end of 2005; out of 83,486,083 Scouts since 1911, this is about 2 percent of the Boy Scouting membership. In 2005, 49,895 Eagle Scout awards were presented, about 5 percent of the 2005 membership. There are four known Nobel Prize laureates who are Eagle Scouts: Dudley R. Herschbach, Peter Agre, Robert Coleman Richardson, and Frederick Reines. One President of the United States (and one Vice-President), President Ford, was an Eagle Scout.[1]

Start 'N' Park Blog- Dead Weight
Was Smoke blowing smoke? The answers been found….
Posted on September 27, 2011 by Greg
Tony at New Hampshire
So what exactly did Tony Stewart mean when he stated "We let go of some dead weight this week" while in victory lane at New Hampshire? The world wants to know! Or at least those of us that are nosey enough to want to know.
The statement has been talked about over the blogosphere and on various NASCAR programs from TV to Radio, and no one has seemed to be able to find a true answer to the question. Smoke himself has repeatedly stated that there was nothing behind it and to let it go. The team has reitterated the same statements, or in some cases just pleaded ignorance.
They couldn't be lying worse if they said they didn't know where that stain on the blue dress Monica was wearing came from.
Luckilly for Start 'n' Park, there are sources out there untapped by the national and world media. Sources which a small institution like us are in tune with. Through those sources, we have found out the truth.
Long-time Stewart "gal pal" Jessica Zemken, who is currently racing for Smoke part-time as a World of Outlaws driver and on the regional sprint car circuits, has apparently been "cut loose" from Tony's personal circle. Zemken, a former North East Dirt Modified driver and now sprint car driver, has been on and off with Smoke for some time. However, it now appears that it is more "off" than "on", as whatever they seemed to have is no more. This, according to sources very, very (and I stress VERY) close to the situation have told us.
What this means for Smoke is now he has a clear head going into the chase, as evidenced by his two race winning streak to start, and he now holds a slim lead in the run for his 3rd Sprint Cup title. Will this be the means to propel him to that title? Who knows.
But I will end with this. Zemken is still under contract with Tony Stewart Racing until the end of this year. Let's just say, this could potentially be an extremely expensive fall season for his sprint car team if this went as badly as it is protrayed to S'n'P.

By Grant McGee: CNJ columnist
One of my co-workers freaked out on me the other day when I made one of my butter sandwiches.
It was toast with a lot of butter. A slice of multi-grain bread pops out of the toaster, I put two wedges of butter on one side, fold it over, eat and enjoy. I usually wash it down with a glass of milk.
"You're going to die," she said.
"Someday I'm sure," I said. "But I'm going to enjoy a few things while I'm here. I bet you don't eat the skin off baked chickens either, do you?" I asked.
"Eww," she made a face.
I enjoy nice fatty foods. Not all the time, mind you, I'm just saying that if something luscious and fatty or fried presents itself I won't turn it down.
A High Plains doctor warned me about this stuff years ago.
"You're overweight, if you don't lose weight you're going to die," he said.
"But I…"
"You have high cholesterol, take this prescription, if you don't get your cholesterol down you're going to die."
"You have high blood pressure, if you don't get it under control you're going to die. And you need to stop eating fatty foods. Take for instance burritos, full of fat, that's why they taste so good.
I'd bet you eat baked chicken skin too."
"Ah, well…"
"Stop eating fatty foods or you will die."
Hey, look, The Lady of the House is always fixing us healthy meals and I exercise five days a week. But butter "sammiches," ice cream, fried chicken, spoonfuls of peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, baked chicken with the skin, burritos, mmmmm, I love 'em all. I will enjoy them, in moderation of course.
Besides, food is one of the reasons I came to planet Earth in the first place.
