No Errors!
- 4-1 Padres
We lost the series last night. But we came out today and won a game. It was definitely important for us to win. The Giants took an early 1-0 lead, but in the bottom of the 2nd, Greg Maddux drove in the first run of his Padre career. In the sixth, Nick Hundley sac-flied Brian Giles in for our second run. Giles drove one home in the seventh, and Kouz hit his 15th homer. Maddog was super solid. He got win 352!! Adams and Heath did their usual routine (as in, getting 3 guys out). In the 9th, Trevor allowed an infield single that was not his fault at all. The ball took a nasty hop on Kouz and the batter barely ran it out. Then the next guy hit a ball that seemed like it could fall, but Jody Gerut made another incredible play. Then Giles made a great catch, Trevor struck out a rookie, and we win. Jody and Brian were amazing today. Jody was 2-for-4, with great defense. Giles was 2-for-3 with a walk, and great defense. I was really pleased with our defense in this series. We had no errors, and the fielders were solid. Luis Rodriguez made a great play at short, so I have some hope that he might be a decent shortstop. Well, he hasn't done anything bad, has he? I guess I would like a proven shortstop playing for us. Next we play the Mets in Shea Stadium. I don't think I will ever be able to forget the series in New York last year. Trev blew the save big time in the first game. In the next game, we fought really hard to win it. Kevin Cameron gave up 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th, but Trevor was able to seal a 7-5 win. In the third game, both Trevor and Billy Wagner blew saves in the 9th. In the top of the tenth, Adrian hit a solo homer. Heath Bell got his first major league save. That game was like 9-8 or something. That series was the most nerve-wracking series of the year for me. But it was amazing. Hopefully this upcoming series won't be as intense as last year's, but with the same result: San Diego wins.

Good for Maddux! I hear he could still be on the move, however. The Dodgers may not realize it yet, but they need him.
Maddux might be needed in LA, but the Dodgers weren't willing to give up a good player for him. I was pleased that the Padres weren't going to settle with some low minors prospect. Now that Greg has #351 and #352, I'm OK with him leaving, if it comes to that. Go Padres!
Me, Kaybee

The next person will use the last letter in the word Response to make another word, ex : Egg.
The next person would use G as the first letter in their word.

One of La Crosse's charter schools is expanding.
Starting this fall, the La Crosse Design Institute will include sixth graders. It comes after the waiting list to get in the school continued to grow.
About 30 additional students will be able to attend the school, and the school added an art and photography studio.
The principal says it gives students who need something different than the traditional classroom a chance to succeed. "A student in a regular 6th grade classroom would be mostly teacher led, the teacher would be doing lecturing and projects with the students, where as in La Crosse Design Institute, students have the opportunity to design many of their own projects, with teacher help," said principal Penny Reedy.
The district is also looking into starting its first charter high school next fall.

Selling in May not necessarily the only way
- 8:30 pm Wednesday, May 7th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
One week into the month of May and there clearly are a number of reasons why the ole "Sell in May and go away" adage holds water beginning with this month's market's volatility. Plus, no matter how you slice it, the six-month period from May through October hasn't provided equity investors with as appealing returns as those during the November through April time frame have. Historically, of course.
Looking back to 1928 and the performance of the S&P 500 index, in May stocks have averaged a 1.9 percent return during that month compared to April's 5.1 percent return, according to Bank [More]

What a Difference a Year Makes
By Maurice Cloutier on Mar 24, 2009
When we announced Project Blackbox in late 2006, one of the first competitors to jump on the containerized datacenter bandwagon was Rackable Systems. Given their reportedly tight sales relationship with Microsoft and Yahoo!, one would expect that they would parlay this relationship into revenue sales for their containerized solution.
Apparently, so did Rackable. In the Register on 7 February 2008, Rackable CEO Mark Barrenechea suggested that their containerized datacenter sales "could be somewhere in the range of 20 to 50 (in 2008)."
Alas, one year later, the Register reported on 13 February 2009 from CEO Barrenechea that Rackable "did not recognize any revenue from its ICE Cube containers in 2008."
What does this say about Rackable's containerized datacenter specifically and the containerized datacenter market in general?
IMO, because Rackable is a relatively small company with total sales less than $250 million for 2008, it is more susceptible to the vicissitudes of the market. Or, as they say without the SAT prep vocabulary, when Microsoft sneezes, Rackable catches a cold. Furthermore, the Rackable ICE Cube containerized datacenter is narrowly designed for high density, fixed installations. Verari, HP, and Dell have created similar solutions and are competing for the same business.
Conversely, the Sun Modular Datacenter is designed and supported for the broader, global market. Ours is the only containerized datacenter with national and regional compliance certifications as well as fire-suppression certifications in over 50 countries and regions world-wide. We've done earthquakeand EMI testing. It's not clear that the competitors have done any but the most basic of testing. Ours is the only solution that can be loaded in a standard 747 cargo plane and flown to it's destination, which we've done many times already.
While we cannot reveal all of our customers, we certainly have customers - and more than one. You can see a few of our customer stories here. Going forward, I will try to elaborate further on our customer success stories in this blog.
So, what's the bottom line? It's a tough, new market. We believe a more diversified approach that we've taken with the Sun Modular Datacenter will yield better results in the long run.

i doubt Silva will be let go. Hummels is very overated. I like Neymar, would suit Barcelona.
Hummels will stay with BVB Thiago will stay in PSG and Stantos is seeking money they have financial problems so if they will not let to sell Neymar to Barsa where he wana play they will be totaly sucked up next year Neymar can go for free even when Naymar have 45% right to Santos others are giant comercy.
i doubt Silva will be let go. Hummels is very overated. I like Neymar, would suit Barcelona.
now MOU wants to sell Luiz this Luiz which scores amazing free kick to gave advance to europa league finale and he is choosing Varane over Luiz. Well Mou is reallu dumb he won 3 trophies in 3 years when just 1 is matter while Atleico won 4 and Barsa 8 during this era.
I hope we see a lot of goals. 3-2 Bayern
And the black hole still conitunes each team that beats Barsa doesnt matter if 1/4 or 1/2 is winning champions league
biggest dutch looser is now a hero
appeard from nowhere with easy shot scores match winning goal
Bayern 0-2 in 2010 vs Inter
Bayern lost @ own pitch in penalties in 2012
and now winning @ Wembley
3 finales in 4 years 2 lost
so after Manchester this is only team that was in finales after previous year in new champions league
so in august super cup of europe Chelsea - Bayern Guardiola vs Mou again
That was a good game, Borussia had their chances, especially in the first 20 minutes of the match, but shortly after Bayern started dominating. That Robben goal was amazing, when it seemed we'll go into the extra time my fellow Dutchman appeared out of nowhere, made his way into the box and scored.
Either way, the Germans won and the Empress seems happy.
It was a great game. Lot's of scoring chances, good officiating, fantastic individual performances (Robben, Lewandowski, both goalies)
Next season we'll see what he's made of.
when Barsa was playing vs Santos in 2011 Neymar was simply meet with globetrotters of futbol he was his disaster match almost even didnt touch ball
lot ppl in Brazil says he had to leave Santos he was scoring regression
IMO the current acquisitions of ASM are much more interesting, Moutinho and Rodriguez for €70M both, probably also Falcao for €60M... Rybolovlev doesn't really care abouth how much $$$ he'll spend to acquire enough talent to win it all. Imagine how much would Prokhorov spend if there was no cap in the NBA. Looking at all those sheikhs and oligarchs spending hundreds of millions I'm really impressed with Bayern's fiscally responsible transfers policy. Bayern is one of the very few top-class football clubs without a billionaire-owner and without any debt. Munich's finances are clear, transparent and prudent.
I don't think I have ever seen him play so I had to check him out on you tube and DAMN!!!! That dude have some quick feet. He reminds me of a young Ronaldinho.
Ronaldo and Ronaldinho both started their European career in smaller clubs. Ronaldo in PSV and Ronaldinho is PSG. I wonder if Neymar is making a misstake going to a top club. The South America-European transistion can be tough.
He might be great in Brazil or South America in general, but Europe is a different animal, European football is much more team-oriented, strategy and teamwork are crucial which isn't the case in South America.
BTW, Lewandowski's agent says he'll sign with Bayern... Ribery, Mandzukic, Robben, Mueller, Schweinsteiger, Goetze and Lewandowski on the same team? I can smell Bayern becoming a dynasty.

NEH-Funded Environmental Monitors InstalledWednesday, April 7th, 2010
This past week we installed ten Preservation Environment Monitors (PEMs) purchased from the Image Permanence Institute (IPI) through the generous support of a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Preservation Grant for Small and Medium Sized Institutions. The devices will be used to monitor and assess the environmental conditions of collection storage spaces in use by Special Collections. The results will help us to make decisions about the distribution of materials and will allow us to better manage the long-term preservation of the collection for the benefit of our users well into the future.
Raw data collected from the PEMs can be uploaded to PEMdata, a web- based preservation management tool developed and maintained by IPI. As noted on the organization's website, the software can be used to organize temperature and humidity data, graph and interpret that data, and generate reports. Interior temperature, humidity, dewpoint, mold risk, and other parameters can be viewed in line graph form and compared to graphs of exterior conditions for the same period.
Algorithms developed by IPI use the data to determine the risk of various sorts of deterioration for a range of library materials that may result from the observed environmental condition through natural aging, mechanical damage, mold growth, and metal corrosion. These deterioration risks can be combined and displayed as a time-weighted preservation index or TWPI, a single number meant to represent the "approximate length of time, in years, that vulnerable organic materials would last if every time period in the future were just like the one during which the TWPI value was measured." Calculators on the site allow one to make virtual changes in environmental conditions and view the effect on the TWPI.
The ten new monitors are added to one we have had for nearly a year. It has collected data in one of our open stacks locations in Special Collections. A look at the data collected shows that the space being monitored offers less than ideal conditions for the storage of many types of materials, with a TWPI of 42 years. The risk of deterioration from natural aging is due to higher than recommended year-round temperatures and, to a lesser extent, elevated relative humidity levels during the summer months. Heightened temperature and humidity can accelerate the rate of decay of many materials, including film, photographs, magnetic tape, and books and papers produced from the mid-nineteenth century to the late-twentieth century. With this information in hand, one would ideally make changes to lower the temperature and summertime humidity levels. If this is not possible, the space could be used for storage of materials that are least likely to suffer from storage under moderately elevated temperature and relative humidity.
On the positive side, temperature was maintained in this space at a fairly consistent level and humidity levels did not reach the point at which mold growth could be supported, a constant worry in library collections housed in older buildings. Additionally, a comparison of the exterior and interior dewpoint temperatures shows that the building HVAC system functions in removing moisture from the air during the summer and adding it during the winter.
This type of data will eventually be available for all of our Special Collections storage spaces and will allow us to make informed decisions about the placement of materials and the improvement of our environmental systems.

Former Brooklyn Player Cliff Dapper Passes Away
Very sad that we lost another Brooklyn player. That is two already this year. Last year we lost 10. Cliff Dapper was born January 2, 1920. He served our country in World War II.
From http://insidethedodgers.mlblogs.com/archives/2011/02/a_bit_of_news_both_happy_and_s.html
Dapper was a Los Angeles native who appeared in 18 games with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1942. He was best known for being the only ballplayer in history to be traded for a broadcaster. When Dodger Hall of Fame broadcaster Red Barber went on a medical leave during the 1948 season, team president Branch Rickey called Earl Mann, the owner of the minor league Atlanta Crackers, and asked for permission to sign Harwell. Mann wanted compensation for his popular broadcaster and said his team needed a catcher.
Rickey sent Dapper from the Dodgers' Triple-A Montreal affiliate to the Crackers to complete the deal. Dapper continued his minor league career as a player and manager through 1957. Harwell left the Dodgers after the 1949 season, he was replaced by Fordham University graduate Vin Scully. Harwell became a Hall of Fame broadcaster, primarily with the Detroit Tigers. Despite the famous trade, Harwell and Dapper did not meet for more than a half a century until the dedication ceremonies for Harwell's statue at Detroit's Comerica Park in 2002.
Rest in peace Mr. Dapper. Thank you for serving our country. Say hello to Ernie Harwell.
the list of living Brooklyn Dodger Major Leaguers is down to 51.

Interesting post, Emma. Did not know that there ever was a player traded for a broadcaster. Unthinkable in today's media-crazy world. Anyway, may he rest in peace.
Emma: War hero + baseball hero = real man. It's so sad…there are so few WWII veterans left. They don't make men like that anymore😦
When I heard the news, I knew it was time to get back on the ball again. After a good yawn and a stretch, I'm ready for Baseball. btw..thanks for the wake up call. Hello Emm.
Sorry for to hear of the recent loss of another member of the Dodger Blue family. I hate how sometimes these things go into cycles,and we lose so much of the past ballplayers in such a short span.
That was a special tidbit you gave us on Mr. Dapper bieng the only MLB ballplayer ever traded for a broadcaster. The fact that broadcaster ended up in the Baseball Hall of Fame just adds a special trump to the entire story. What a great touch that in 2003, Dapper finally got to meet the golden-voiced broadcasting icon he was traded for so long ago.

Emma, Not sure if you noticed that another former Brooklyn Dodger, Gino Cimoli, passed away yesterday at age 82. He was the first L.A. Dodger to come to the plate ever. Leading off against the Giants at Seals Stadium on April 15, 1958. Sadly, I had attempted to contact him for his remembrances of Sandy Amoros for my post about 3-4 weeks ago, since he lived very close to me. We were never able to meet up. Very friendly man.
It's always sad when we lose someone connected to something we love so much, it also reminds us of our own mortality and time stands still for no one.
I see you finished your clean-up with your blue crew guys…. I am sure it was fun even though I am sure it was hard work…
Very interesting. I've heard of players being traded for a manager, but never for a broadcaster. You learn something new every day.🙂
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Sorry I have not been around!
It will never happen again to have a player and a broacaster involved in a trade.
We had so many war hero AND baseball hero at the same time. I have an interesting story about that I'll share on a later post.
YAY! Mike is back and the trolley! Woohoo!
Is incredible that they only got to meet in 2003, after all that time!
OpinionofKingmansperformance (Evan),
Oh no, I did not know that we lost another one of our Brooklyn boys. Rest in peace Gino Cimoli. Thank you so much Evan for letting me know. I've been running around today and yesterday with a 50th birthday party.
I scraped my leg and lost my phone but it was all worth it! It was hard work but we had a great time with Dodger players and Dodger fans all around.
Glad you learn something new! I love it when someone can learn a little something from my blog.

ARM has been working infinitely to battle loads of competitors on the market of handsets with its microprocessor solutions that can cost around $1. Now ARM is going to fight for servers, where central processing units can cost for $4000 or over.
"At the high-end [of the chip market] there is progress. [...] We will see ARM onto a certain level of PCs, I am sure, in a sort of timeframe. Servers, also, are going to happen around ARM. The volumes involved there, no matter how successful is ARM, are going to be tiny compared to the other [segments]. But there is a trade-off between the value and volume," said Tudor Brown, the president of ARM, during the company's Architecture for Digital World conference.
Apparently, ARM has set up a dedicated team to chase the server opportunity and will reach out to virtualization software makers and server OS companies to write applications for the company's processors, said ARM's vice president of software alliances James McNiven, reports IDG News Service. Primarily, ARM is looking forward web-servers that do not require maximum performance, but need to be extremely energy efficient.
"We expect to see some volume in the server end by 2020, I think, demonstrates that ARM will become the architecture for the 'digital world'," added Mr. Brown
"We think server ... is a good opportunity for ARM. We're looking to apply the lessons we've learned over several different ecosystems over many years to that ecosystem in servers," McNiven said.
Although the company currently does not offer microprocessors for servers with 64-bit capability, a critical feature for modern server machines that need to use more than 4GB of memory, it said that it had already tried using ARM -based chips on servers that handle ARM.com web-site.
"We have been running a small part of the ARM.com website on that [server] for about 18 months now to get a lot more background data and learn about the market," said Mr. McNiven.

An Iraq War veteran is trying to convince his Ohio village to let him keep his 14 therapeutic ducks.
Darin Welker told the Coshocton Tribune he was wounded in Iraq in 2005, and as a result he suffers from a major back injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. The Department of Veterans Affairs paid for Welker to have back surgery in 2012, but the department wouldn't pay for physical or mental therapy.
So instead Welker decided to try therapy ducks. He brought the 14 ducks to his West Lafayette, Ohio, home in March.
"Taking care of them is both mental and physical therapy," he told the Coshocton Tribune. "(Watching them) keeps you entertained for hours at a time."
The ducks live in a pen in Welker's yard that features kiddie pools for their swimming pleasure, according to The Associated Press.
But getting the ducks also made Welker run afoul of the law. West Lafayette passed an ordinance in 2010 forbidding residents from keeping farm animals. On June 23 he received a citation from the village over the ducks, according to the Coshocton Tribune.
Welker hopes to convince the village to let him keep the ducks at a hearing on Wednesday He told the Coshocton Tribune he even has a letter from the VA's Mental Health Department recommending the ducks stay in his care. If that's not enough to convince the court, he could face a $150 fine.

Program and Degree Options
North Central's engineering program is a dual-degree program
It leads to a B.S. degree in engineering from a large university as well as a B.A. or B.S. degree from North Central in a second field. North Central offers both "3-2" (five-year) and "4-2" (six-year) options. (For comparison, at most large universities the average engineering student needs up to five years to earn a single degree.). There's also a B.S./M.S. degree option.
While at North Central, you'll take the Engineering Core –– courses in mathematics, science, humanities and social science –– as well as additional courses in your North Central major. You'll take the science and math courses needed for your engineering major in North Central's small classes, taught by professors committed to high-quality teaching. During your final year at North Central, you'll choose an engineering major and apply to continue the program at one of our partner universities. You'll spend the final two years of the program at the partner school, where you'll focus almost exclusively on courses and projects in your engineering major.
Interesting facts about North Central engineers
- Most choose the 3-2 option
- Most work part-time in the Argonne National Laboratory co-op program
- Many participate in intercollegiate sports
- One was an All-American wrestler
- Most receive multiple job offers upon completion of the program
- Most popular engineering majors: civil, mechanical, electrical engineering
- Most popular North Central majors: physics, mathematics

Former lieutenant governor Brian Schatz was sworn in Thursday as Hawaii's sixth U.S. senator on Capitol Hill.
Vice President Joe Biden took part in the swearing-in ceremony in the Senate chambers.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid spoke about Schatz being one of the youngest members of the U.S. Senate.
"Nevertheless, he has a long history of serving the state of Hawaii," said Reid. "Prior to entering politics, Senator-designee Schatz served for eight years as the CEO of Helping Hands Hawai'i, one of Hawaii's largest non-profit social services organizations."
Schatz was a member of the State House of Representatives, representing the state's 25th district, and as lieutenant governor.
"Having been a lieutenant governor, he has experience as a legislator and as one of the presiding officers of the entire Senate speaks of itself as helping prepare for the job that he has here," said Reid. "He will build upon the foundation laid during Sen. Inouye's five decades representing the state of Hawaii in the United States Senate. While no one can fill the shoes of our friend, Sen. Inouye, Brian Schatz is a young man full of promise and opportunity."
Hawaii Sen. Daniel Akaka spoke after Schatz was sworn in. He said Schatz is a leader for Hawaii's present and for our future.
Sen. Daniel Akaka to Sen. Brian Schatz:
"Never forget that you are here with a solemn responsibility to do everything you can to represent the people of Hawaii."
"While there are other talented leaders in Hawaii who stepped forward and who would have also been excellent appointees, I know that my colleagues will join me in supporting Sen. Brian Schatz for the good of Hawaii," said Akaka. "Throughout my 36-year career in Congress, the Hawaii delegation has always been unified. We have always put Hawaii first before our own individual ambition. We must continue that. Hawaii comes first."
"Sen. Schatz will be a strong progressive voice for Hawaii in the United States Senate. He will advance freedom and equality," said Akaka. "He will be a strong voice on climate change, expanding clean renewable energy, protecting our precious natural resources. He will defend Native Hawaiians and all of our nation's first people."
Sen. Akaka had some advice for the new junior senator.
"Never forget that you are here with a solemn responsibility to do everything you can to represent the people of Hawaii. To make sure that their needs are addressed in every policy discussion. To speak up and seek justice for those who cannot help themselves," said Akaka.
Sen. Reid had praise for Akaka's speech.
"Your presentation just now is typical for Dan Akaka. Never a word about you -- always about somebody else," said Reid. "If the new senator has the qualities of you -- kindest, gentlest person I've ever served in this body with -- it's something that he should strive."
Reid continued, "For you Sen. Akaka, we are going to miss you so much. You are a wonderful human being and have been a great senator."
Schatz, 40, takes over the final two years of Sen. Daniel K. Inouye's term. He will serve until an election is held in 2014.
In addition to Sen. Inouye and Sen. Akaka, Spark Matsunaga, Hiram Fong and Oren E. Long served as senators for the state of Hawaii.

Nice to have a fairly good fast food restaurant. Salads and chili are ok and don't cause problems
1607 W Main St, Salem, VA 24153
I'm adding this restaurant bc it didn't show up on my search.
4231 Pouncey Tract Rd, Glen Allen, VA 23058
not gluten free friendly. I have celiac disease and I can't just eat everything
1910 6th Ave SE, Aberdeen, SD 57401
My daughter assists get a bunless burger and has never had a problem. But you need to remind the workers that it is for a gluten free allergy and tu change their gloves. There is a pretty good risk for cross contamination I think.
2880 IN-37, Mitchell, IN 47446
I thought they were very accommodating of my son (egg allergy) and me (wheat sensitive). They assured us our burgers wouldn't touch a bun and they were very good about it. I also had a chili cheese potato and my son had apple slices. Frosty's for dessert topped off a decent meal and no stomach aches! I love how how simple their allergen menu was online. Refreshing compared to my experience at McDs across the street!
310 Griswold Rd, Elyria, OH 44035
I ordered a baconator and told them no bun but make the lettuce the bun...there was one piece of lettuce my bacon,cheese and burger cold. Not very happy...called them out on it and they where pissy. Be blunt about everything here they don't understand.
3424 Winfield Dunn Pkwy, Kodak, TN 37764
My son eats here so much, he can walk in and they know his order! They take measures to ensure no cross contamination. Their burgers are gf without the bun. Chili and baked potatoes are gf.
3010 Richmond Rd, Lexington, KY 40509
Salads are good for celiacs, otherwise, you won't be getting much. Fries are not in a separate fryer, so you are at risk for cross contamination. Got sick once off fries and that's all it took for me not to go back. Unless I'm getting a salad :)
168 E Main St, Hendersonville, TN 37075
Double check your location on the fries. Baked potato is good substitute. No GF buns :(. Stuck with fork & knife: lettuce wrap. Caffeine free diet sodas!
13138 50 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5A 5B5, Canada T5A 5B5
it was very good idea like it thanks for this article
102 Washington Towne Blvd, Edinboro, PA 16412
They're very accommodating in that they'll change their gloves and put your sandwich in this nice little container and make sure you have silverware and individual sauces. I've worked fast food and i know sometimes when one frier is getting cleaned you have to use the other that may be designated for breaded chicken, so you might have to be careful there.
12793 U.S. 131, Schoolcraft, MI 49087
Good. Was able to eat the French fries, and a bacon cheeseburger wrapped in lettuce. One of the few places I can eat the fries!
2421 Southeast Delaware Avenue, Ankeny, IA 50021
Chili and potatoes always gluten free. Thanks!
395 Oro Dam Blvd E, Oroville, CA 95965
Their chili is gluten free and doesn't come into contact with anything else, it's pretty good but that's about all you can get safely.
191 Newport Ave, Quincy, MA 02170
only get the frostie
1221 E Ash St, Piqua, OH 45356
The manager was very helpful and aware of gluten issues. He offered to clean a cutting board to cut a chicken breast to add to a side salad for each of my daughters with celiac disease. Gluten free dressings, frostys, potatoes, and chili. Nice to have a place to eat on a long road trip.
1128 N Carbon St, Marion, IL 62959
Wendy's isn't necessarily a gf restaurant but I have found that the staff at this particular Wendy's are understanding of the need for changing gloves and cleaning the work space. I order a Dave's triple with no bun or a bowl of chilli. I have not gotten sick and I am VERY sensitive. If you even breathe bread toward my food I get sick so that is saying a lot. ha.
1720 Miller Trunk Hwy, Duluth, MN 55811
Has baked potatoes and frosties that are gf.
604 Crawford St, Clay Center, KS 67432
Not many options. Couldn't guarantee the meat patties were gluten free
554 Massachusetts 132, Hyannis, MA 02601
We always feel safe at Wendy's but I have to say this one near the airport in Hyannis is the best one we've visited! Staff knows exactly what to do when you mention gluten allergy or celiac, and the service is fast and second to none. Like other Wendy's, lots of options!
3010 Richmond Rd, Lexington, KY 40509
Love them
1711 N Main St, Gainesville, FL 32609
It's Wendy's
7 Walmart Way, La Junta, CO 81050
Celiac Friendly! Separately fried fries, chicken breast, burgers and chili all gluten free. Employees knew and understand needs of Celiac.
12793 U.S. 131, Schoolcraft, MI 49087
Can only eat the chili and baked potatoes...it's ok.
191 Newport Ave, Quincy, MA 02170
by no means is this place close to GF.
1101 North Main Street, Roswell, NM 88201
Great salads and bun-less burgers.
1701 West Ashley Road, Boonville, MO 65233
Inside the Pilot. They were knowledgeable about gluten and the order-taker confirmed the fries were cooked alone (dedicated fryer) and she also made sure my order was separate. Love Wendy's!
8395 Flying Cloud Drive, Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Wendy's chili is GF and really good. Especially with added cheese, onions and hot sauce. I ask when they last changed their fryer oil and if recent I'll order fries. The fries are supposed to be in a dedicated fryer but don't always trust them. I've had good luck and the fries are excellent. Otherwise I'll order a baked potato with the chili. Wish they had more GF options but this has the most of all the fast food drive through places that I've found.
2510 Memorial Avenue, Lynchburg, VA 24501
Love their salads
823 Knox Abbott Drive, Cayce, SC 29033
I am extremely sensitive and allergic. I can eat at Wendy's twice a week without incident. Love them!
801 North Davis Avenue, Cleveland, MS 38732
The Cleveland Wendy's is the best place around for celiac people. They are caring and knowledgeable about cross contamination best practices. Potatoes, fries, bunless burgers, salads, chili, frost, grilled chicken and more. They change gloves and have a wonderful attitude. Love this place! We eat here once a week.
3302 North Washington Street, Forrest City, AR 72335
Dedicated oil for fries. Gf menu on website.
8395 Flying Cloud Drive, Eden Prairie, MN 55344
They have a list if you ask by request of gluten free foods from their menu. I'm glad I can eat food from here. I didn't have any discomfort whatsoever.
30 South Kamehameha Highway, Wahiawa, HI 96786
Yummy salad, but I wish Wendy's would have more options! I had the BBQ ranch chicken salad (carful though, they chop their chicken on common cutting boards, according to their website.) Otherwise gluten free.. I'm EXTREMELY intolerant and had no reactions from it :)
3110 Clark Lane, Columbia, MO 65202
They fries are in a dedicated fryer and the woman helping me was very clear communicating to the people cooking the food. I was able to get fries and a vanilla frosty and I didn't get sick. I've also gotten baked potatoes before but not at this location. I would still ask if its a dedicated fryer each time just in case, but this was a great experience.
500 S George Nigh Expy, McAlester, OK 74501
Always a safe place when we travel through. Never get cross contaminated. Manager very knowledgeable.
2421 Southeast Delaware Avenue, Ankeny, IA 50021
I ordered a salad here through the drive thru. We spoke to three different people in the restaurant all of whom knew about food allergies. The lady who was on the window told us she had family who were celiac (luck of the draw I guess). I felt very safe eating my salad. They even looked up a safe dressing for me to try. Very good experience for fast food and also very surprising. I'm not sure I'd order something fried here, but I would certainly get a salad and a flavored lemonade here again.
2480 S Springfield Ave, Bolivar, MO 65613
some gluten free food options
860 S Jefferson Ave, Lebanon, MO 65536
Not accommodating at all. The manager @Rick" acted like it was a chore just to have his employee change gloves to fix my sons potato!
554 Massachusetts 132, Hyannis, MA 02601
Gluten free fries, also I enjoy the chili too.
929 E 800 N, Spanish Fork, UT 84660
French fries cooked in separate oil
13514 NE 175th St, Woodinville, WA 98072
Nice to have a gluten safe fast food option. Baked potato and chili with a frosty makes a great lunch for a celiac on the go.
860 S Jefferson Ave, Lebanon, MO 65536
I get the Apple Pecan Chicken salad, with spicy cashews instead of pecans (the pecans are coated and are not gf). I love the lemon garlic Caesar dressing, but it comes with a great vinaigrette too.
500 E Chase St, Pensacola, FL 32502
Wendy's is my go to gluten free fast food spot. I had a small bowl of chili and the bacon cheese baked potato. Sometimes I have a chocolate Frosty, too. All naturally gluten free according to their website, so i don't have to ask a lot of questions or try to convince them to make it a special way. I was stuffed and did not feel deprived as my family enjoyed their burgers.
2146 Texas 121 Business, Lewisville, TX 75067
Nice salads (they change, so keep an eye on the website's gluten info before going), nice potatoes and the chili is always GF. And a frosty. Darn good food on the road.
614 S State St, Big Rapids, MI 49307
Have a dedicated fryer for the fries.
500 S George Nigh Expy, McAlester, OK 74501
Always an excellent choice for GF. Baked potato, chili, salad, frosty, and marvelously precise website PDF GF list download it before you go, the store only has an allergen list on site).
191 Newport Ave, Quincy, MA 02170
Yay food good:)
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Central Terminal, Main Concourse, 17801 International Blvd, Seattle, WA 98158
Frosty scan save the day! The staff warned me the fries are not for sure safe because they will share the fryer with nuggets when busy.
3643 N Campbell Ave, Tucson, AZ 85719
Good option for fast food. Baked potatoes, chili, salads & fries. Not sure that all locations have dedicated fryers, though.
1013 W Ridge Pike, Conshohocken, PA 19428
One of the best fast food options. Chili, baked potatoes and some salads are GF. Allergens for every item are posted. This particular location is renovated.

H-1B visas help expand tech workforce
- published_in
- Guest Column
The visa, created in 1952, allows a foreign worker who has theoretical or technical expertise in specialized fields like math, engineering, medicine and computer programming to work for a U.S. employer for up to six years (the visa is good for three years, but can be extended once).
Often, companies petition for the visa when hiring new professionals, to retain recent graduates working on optional practical training (an employment opportunity for foreign students completing their bachelor's or graduate degree in the U.S. to work in their field of study) or to bring in professional workers from overseas.
Applications for the visa will open April 1 for positions slated to begin Oct. 1.
The U.S. government allocates only 65,000 H-1B visas each year — as well as an additional 20,000 to individuals with an advanced degree from a U.S. university. The visas have proven to be very popular. Last year, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office received about 124,000 H-1B petitions, reaching the statutory cap of 65,000 within the first week of the filing period. When this happens, all petitions are placed into a random lottery, with some being accepted for processing and others being returned without being considered.
It's imperative that petitions are prepared in advance of the April opening and that they are properly filed. Along with a complete and accurate I-129 form, a labor condition application, evidence of the worker's education credentials and a duplicate copy of the petition must be filed. Because of the technical nature of the petitions, it's wise to consult an immigration law professional to make sure the petition is accurate and complete, so as not to risk rejection.
While nationally, large companies like Infosys Technologies, Cognizant and Microsoft lead in the number of petitions filed, local organizations such as University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, Webroot Software Inc. and Tech-X Corp. have used the visa to hire specialized employees.
Individually, however, those local companies don't come close to the number of petitions filed by the University of Colorado. Universities are well-known for employing H-1B workers and typically make up a good percentage of the nation's top users of the visa.
Importantly, though, there are no restrictions as to the size of a company that sponsors an H-1B. While typically large employers apply for many H-1B visas, small companies and startups wisely use the visa to apply for foreign professionals as well.
For companies, the benefits of H-1B workers are numerous—it's no secret that highly and very technically skilled employees support innovation, improve efficiency and generate revenue. Reports have also shown that foreign students constitute more than half of the students in U.S. graduate programs in the STEM fields—science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The H-1B visa allows employers to tap into that market.
The H-1B visa is attractive to foreign workers as it's allowable for both full- and part-time positions and does not require that H-1B workers maintain a foreign residence. The H-1B worker's spouse and minor children may also accompany the worker by obtaining H-4 visa status, and the worker can apply for permanent residency while simultaneously holding the visa.
Though an H-1B visa is employer specific, workers may also hold H-1B visas for multiple employers simultaneously, and the H-1B program requires that workers are paid the "prevailing wage" for their work.
While the H-1B program is advantageous to both employers and foreign workers, it's important the process is done with care and started early.

PROG! is a night dedicated to expanding typical perceptions of prog rock—and minds, as well. Our resident DJs bring decades of collective obsessive listening and record collecting to the decks every month to provide Seattle's only musical event devoted to the peaks of prog rock.
While you'll hear the genre's well-known pillars like Yes, King Crimson, Soft Machine and Aphrodite's Child, you'll also hear much more obscure artists from the fields of krautrock, drone, jazz fusion, and cosmic-synth. Along with guest DJs chosen from among the area's keenest music heads, the selectors behind PROG! delve deeply into some of the most complex and exciting music ever conceived. You'll not hear music like this in public anywhere else!
PROG! is a monthly event at Hazlewood in Ballard (Seattle) dedicated to progressive rock, electronic and BEYOND. Kind of like Bed, Bath & Beyond, but beyonder.

Tyresta National Park lies just 20 km south of Stockholm and you can get to it easily by car, train or bus. The village of the same name is the gateway to this beautifully preserved park and nature reserve that with its gorge landscape, is quite unique in geological terms. This quality is also shared by the village of Tyresta that has been inhabited by man since the Iron Age and what you see today are a group of perfectly preserved buildings from the 18th century.
So what do you do when you get there? We suggest that you set off on one of the 55 kilometres of trails through the primeval forest, with its 400 year-old pines and rocky outcrops. Try to spot some birds or exquisite wild flowers that grow here. Dip your toes in one of the crystal clear lakes. Take a nap against a lichen-carpeted boulder. Apart from that there isn't much else to do. Which is just as it should be.
Tyresta national park is around 5,000 hectares in size and encompasses primeval forest, lakes, some arable land, the village and a nature reserve. A good introduction to the park is the Primeval Forest Trail that wends 2.5 kilometres through the park. Another takes you through the forest to the shores of the Baltic Sea and offers fine views.
To put the age of the forest into perspective these pines were standing as the Vasa Ship, the most modern of its day and overloaded by its too many canons, sank in Lake Mälaren just 20 kilometres away in 1608. Perhaps some of the Tyresta villagers were there and watched it go down. Turning the clock forward to modern times Tyresta national park is a fabulous day out for the whole family and well worth a visit.

The Fritzbox is an all-in-one device from Avm.de. Such devices are quite popular in Europe, where operators usually bundle them with their "triple play" offers. These devices, also called home-gateways, provide DSL and VOIP connectivity to the operator, WIFI and LAN connectivity for the local computers, and telephone sockets (FXS) to connect traditional phones to a flat-rate plan. Many of them also offer digital TV service in high resolution (but not as good as HDTV). They are usually plug-and-play, and are owned and remotely manageable by the telecom operator. The Fritzbox is more than that.
European-style leased devices satisfy most users but leave many geeks unhappy. What if you want to own your own hardware? What if you want to mix different offers from different operators? What if you do not want to ditch your PSTN phone service? What if you already have VOIP service? What if you do not trust your operator security setting? What if your operator does not yet offer such home gateways?
There are many scenarios where leased devices are not appealing. This is exactly the spot the Fritzbox tries to fill. Although specific telecom operator offers in Germany and in Italy do bundle it, the Fritzbox offers you freedom of choice. You can use your own Fritzbox with any operator and fine-tune your home network to your needs. If this is not enough, you can even reflash it with a custom-made GNU/Linux distribution.
The Fritzbox is many things. The best comparison is a small server without any screen or hard drive, running the Linux kernel on a TI Avalanche MIPS SoC. It has an AR7 providing a ADSL 2+-capable DSL modem, an ADMtek AMD9660 for LAN connectivity, between two and three FXS ports to connect your old telephones and--the best feature--a USB client or host. The system has 32MB RAM and 8MB flash. That doesn't sound like much, but it is more than enough for running a Linux kernel with proprietary software. The Cisco/Linksys WRT54G is comparable to the Fritzbox, with half its RAM and flash in the best case. Yet those restrictions rarely come up with the OpenWRT distributions for those needing an Access Point with advanced routing features.
There are two Fritzbox hardware versions, each with pros and cons.
The Fritzbox 7050 offers three FXS ports but only has USB client behavior. This means you can hook up three different analog phones to it, each with its own configuration, but you cannot plug USB devices onto the Fritzbox. The USB client can only connect to a computer, for example, if you do not have an Ethernet NIC. However, most computers, even laptops, now feature one.
The Fritzbox 7140 offers only two FXS ports but comes with a USB host. This means you can hook up a USB printer or a hard drive to your Fritzbox. This is potentially interesting if you want to share your printer on your LAN, or want to use your Fritzbox as a standalone storage station.
The lack of a third FXS port is easy to bypass with the ISDN capabilities of each Fritzbox. ISDN is the European digital POTS network, with advanced features that allow you, for example, to assign a different number to each handset.
Note that there are two different types of Fritzbox hardware: annex A and annex B. "Annex A" devices are for DSL over ISDN countries, mostly German-speaking countries, while "Annex B" are for the rest of the world. Annex A Fritzboxes are generally cheaper, yet are still usable in other countries after some firmware tweaking. However, this could potentially bring some DSL network problems and will void your warranty.
It is hard to explain everything you can do with a Fritzbox, so I prefer to give you a not-so-simple example: my own home network, before and after the Fritzbox.
Previously, I had an Alcatel Speedtouch Home Ethernet modem, which I had reconfigured to allow a direct PPPoE connection. This was a feature reserved to the Pro version, yet easily achievable on the Home version. This meant the Alcatel modem provided standalone IP connectivity to my LAN.
However, because it had only one RJ45 connector, I hooked it to a switch. On this switch, I had a small PC running a customized Leaf-Bering distribution from a 32Mb compact flash card to listen to French-Canadian radios at home. It had a USB port, which I used to mount USB keys for BitTorrent downloading though a USB hub.
Because I had laptops and a desktop computer in a different room, I plugged a Linksys WAP11 access-point into the switch to offer wireless LAN connectivity. My final device was a Grandstream HT-286 ATA that offered VOIP to a dedicated phone in order to have a Nevada area code phone number for friends who wanted to call us without paying outrageous transatlantic fees.
That was quite a setup mounted into a custom-made plastic shelf, hidden behind the sofa. It ate energy and ran quite hot. It was also awful to maintain, with so many power adapters and network cables. Taking incoming calls was a matter of picking up the right phone, which, thanks to Murphy's Law, was always the most distant one. Did I mention the phones also had their own power adapters, thus adding to the loose-wire mix?
I really wanted to change my home network, but my French DSL provider initially did not offer its own home gateway. When it did, I heard horror stories about people with neither phone nor internet access when the network went down, so I decided never to ditch the PSTN, if only to have a reliable way to call emergency services or pass important calls even when the IP network is down. Finally, I discovered that many home gateways offered by competitors had weak and easy-to-crack security.
That was too much. Even if I did not want to keep the power-hungry beast that was hiding behind the sofa, I could not sacrifice its reliability (well, until one of its cables fell out, which often happened), sustainability, and security to a "better-looking" solution. I did not want to pay some monthly rental fee for the device, either. My significant other was strongly disappointed. She hoped we could get rid of all this stuff. Well, I hoped, too.
Then I heard about the Fritzbox on German forums and decided to give it a try. That was the chance to replace my overly complicated setup by a most efficient and easily manageable one.
I decided that there should be two devices maximum, so I also purchased a Panasonic KX-TG6502B cordless phone. It runs on the 5.8 GHz band and manages two lines on up to four handsets and a base station, with intercom capabilities.
The Panasonic phone connects by two RJ11 cable to the two FXS ports of the 7050. The third FXS port connects to a fax machine, which exists only to scan documents because I prefer FAXOIP.
There are two buttons on each handset, "line 1" and "line 2." I have a French flat-rate VOIP (wengo.fr) connected to line 1, with an automatic PSTN fallback in case of failure. On line 2, I have a U.S. VOIP line with a Nevada local number, to call friends.
Because I receive many more calls than I send on line 2, I have since reassigned it to a different French flat-rate VOIP (phonesystems.net), which I use as a business telephone number. As it is a business line, I configured it not to ring after business hours. I keep the U.S. VOIP line accessible with a special prefix (*123#); it rings on line 1 when there are incoming calls.
Caller ID works perfectly, even if it comes from different networks (French, U.S.) with different modalities (PSTN, VOIP). I can transfer calls from one handset to the other, with conference calls managed directly by the Panasonic phone.
All this would be quite complex to specify in technical terms, yet the end result is very user-friendly: it always works (thanks to PSTN fallback), lets you decide which line you want to use for outgoing calls (press the "line 1" or "line 2" button), lets you override this for specific occasions (special prefix), and does not disturb you when it shouldn't ring. When it rings, the phone takes care of the call (conference call, transfer) in any area of the home.
Best of all, it took less than ten minutes to set up. That's no match for a PBX. I have five phones (four cordless and one base station) all around my home connected to this setup. It always works!
The Fritzbox web-based interface makes all this very easy to manage.
Even better--there is room for improvement. You can manage up to ten VOIP accounts with the Fritzbox (SIP only--no Skype, which is not a big loss due to its heavy bandwidth use). That means you can have up to ten different phone numbers in as many countries as you need. I chose the Panasonic cordless because it runs on the 5.8 GHz band, and would not potentially interfere with WiFi and Bluetooth operations.
However, you could replace it with an ISDN DECT base station to offer a dedicated phone number to each DECT phone, instead of having two buttons to decide which line to use. However, I have yet to find an ISDN DECT system capable of working like the Panasonic, with dedicated "line 1" and "line 2" buttons, forwarding, conference calls, and other features.
The network part is just as easy: you simply type your DSL login and password, check the option box to share your connection on your LAN, and voila. It simply works, with DHCP and all. The icing on the cake for me is graphs that show in real time the quality of your connection (PPPoE and PPPoA--you even get to decide which you want to use) with daily cumulative stats in your inbox.
Do you have a dyndns domain? If you do, simply give your login and password to the Fritzbox. Every time it connects to the Internet, it will renew the dyndns. Port forwarding and firewalling are also very easy to set up, with some safe defaults and easy overrides. The process is well documented, and the online help makes improvisation easy.
For example, if you want to have a local web server, open port number 80 and forward it to the IP of the machine on your LAN running Apache httpd. The drop-down menus will then suggest that you also open port number 443 for secure HTTP.
By default, the LAN ports, the USB client, and the WiFi port are all bridged (available on the same network), but you can configure each to have its own subnet and IPs. There is only one default: the Fritzbox does not run a standard GNU/Linux distribution but instead the Linux kernel with proprietary tools. Therefore it does not feature iptables, which make complex routing from the command line a pain. The best solution is to replace the default distribution with the ds-mod firmware free software solution with all the traditional tools.
The best part is that you create your own firmware, selecting which tools will be included and which will not, and cross-compiling everything on your PC.
The default firmware will be sufficient for most people. The first thing I regret is the lack of text access to the Fritzbox by default. Of course, you can always enable Telnet with a pseudo-firmware update (flashing only one file to start
telnetd at boot), but it is not as good as SSH.
SSH is available thanks to dropbear, but key generation is unpractical; it should be present by default, along with basic utilities like
wget to send and retrieve files from the Fritzbox.
Finally, the lack of a normal iptables utility means you either have to figure out the ar7.cfg syntax or reflash your Fritzbox with the custom ds-mod firmware. While it should be possible, this adds yet another delay for complex setups.
I strongly believe Avm.de should consider adding SSH and replace the routing scheme with iptables. If they do not, they should at least provide a good documentation of the command-line tool for complex routing situations.
I opted for the Fritzbox 7050, the one without USB host, because it had a third FXS port for my fax machine. This means I cannot easily add hardware though USB (not that I wanted to in first place, since it would mean adding another piece of hardware--in this case, a USB hub). There are only two features I miss: storage and Bluetooth.
For storage purposes (such as BitTorrent or
wget), I am considering purchasing a simple all-in-one NAS to mount via NFS. There are many models with an ATA hard drive connector and an Ethernet plug, running various GNU/Linux distributions.
For connectivity purposes (such as Palm synchronization), I would have enjoyed Bluetooth. There are free serial ports inside the 7050, so if I really need it, I will find a way to solder a Bluetooth module.
Some users may also resent the lack of a good old modem, if only to manage faxes with mgetty+sendfax. However, there are many FAXOIP offers, with flat rates and nice options. I currently receive my faxes as PDF attachments in my inbox with popfax.com; sending them is simply a matter of attaching the file I want to send. I pay 3.99 Eur per month for unlimited incoming faxes, and 5 cents per sheet for outgoing faxes. The convenience factor is great, as I do not need volume faxing.
Of course, the Fritzbox itself could manage this directly, yet converting from and to the various file-attachment formats would certainly require much additional software, along with the modem, thus raising the price tag. FAXOIP is good enough.
A cheap and easy addition would be an audio jack and microphone. I did maintain a customized Leaf Bering distribution for radio playback on my former hardware. I simply connected some cheap loudspeakers and remotely launched Mplayer. I also had some plans to use the microphone for audio streaming, such as podcasts.
Avm could certainly consider adding sound capabilities to the Fritzbox. It could also help debug your network problems--like when you have a typo on the IP, reboot the box, and can't manage to log in. What if the Fritzbox read out its configuration during boot?
Of course, there is a fixed IP for each port of the Fritzbox, which works even if you damage the configuration. You can also press a special button to boot in default mode where you can fix your changes, so there is no real need for this feature.
Yet I lament the lack of playback capabilities, which I often used on my old setup.
While I miss SSH and iptables on the software side and sound and Bluetooth on the hardware side, the Fritzbox is a great purchase overall. It eases the pains of home network setup and maintenance, making even complex situations--like my own setup--child's play.
While the initial Fritzboxes had problems with ADSL 2+ speeds, the latest firmware works like a charm.
The Fritzbox is the ideal present for any geek with a DSL connection who wants to get rid of the aging PC used for sharing this connection. If you are considering it as a gift, offer it along with some cordless phones capable of managing more than two phone lines, so that your geek friend or relative will enjoy VOIP without any hassle of the usual VOIP setups.
I recommend the 7050 version over the 7140 if you do not need to share a printer; this is the only real advantage of the 7140 USB host port. However, if you have ISDN-capable phones and do not mind spending a little more, the 7140 could be interesting, because two FXS ports will be enough.
In any case, if you want to share a storage space on your home network, you will be better off with a dedicated SAN connected to one of the two Ethernet ports of the Fritzbox, as neither version of the Fritzbox can directly receive an hard drive inside.

Does anyone have any ideas? My 7 month son, who has been very picky at breastfeeding since he was 4 months, is starting to reject the breast at different bf sessions. Until now, I've had to bf in a darkened room with no noise, which has been difficult due to my oldest son, who is 2, wanting to be everywhere I am. I've recently been able to nurse him with distractions in the room, but the past couple of days when I have attempted to breastfeed, he immediately arches back and cries and refuses to take the breast at all. In the past I would wait a little longer to feed (if possible) or let him go until the next nursing (he is eating solids as well). Today, I wanted to test if he was really hungry, when he arched and cried at the breast I went and made a bottle of ebm and he sucked it right down. Is it a faze, age, or could he be wanting to wean (which I really hope is not the case)? I would really like to continue bf until 1 year of age.

Illinois Learning Standards
Teacher's Guide to Classroom Assessments for the Illinois Learning Standards
The classroom assessments are resources to help teachers determine local performance expectations for the Illinois Learning Standards at each grade level. Each assessment includes the following (see the sample annotated assessment at the end of this section):
Performance Standard:description of the performance to be assessed in terms of performance descriptors and the rubrics criteria;
Assessment Procedures:step-by-step directions for administering the assessment;
Evaluation Procedures:directions for evaluating evidence that the student work meets the criteria stated in the rubric;
Rubric:criteria for evaluating student work and determining the levels of performance; and
Student Work:examples of student work validated by educators representative of the learning area at the meets and exceeds performance levels.
How Were They Developed?
The classroom assessments were developed by Illinois teachers for Illinois teachers. Writing teams for each of the 7 learning areas developed performance descriptors for all the Learning Standards at 10 developmental stages, ranging from grade 1 to grade 12. Next, the teams wrote assessments based on the descriptors for the 10 stages. Teachers from 280 school districts from across the state field-tested the assessments and provided student work samples. Finally, panels of field-test teachers and other educators from the respective learning areas validated the work samples at the meets and exceeds performance levels. Collectively, your colleagues, the writers and field-testers of these assessments, have devoted thousands of hours of their time to create the classroom assessments and we have acknowledged them on the Contributors to the Classroom Assessments list .
Are the Classroom Assessments State Mandates?
These assessments are intended as a resource, not a mandate, to illustrate how student performance of each Learning Standard can be assessed at each grade level. They are not exhaustive. In fact, the intent is for local school districts to adapt these assessments to their own uses and to develop others using performance descriptors as a basis. We highly recommend that teachers gather student work from across the district and set their own local standard for meets and exceeds performance levels.
What Is the Best Use of the Classroom Assessments?
Weaving classroom assessments into the normal flow of teaching/learning and combining assessments within and across learning areas may be the most effective and efficient way to assess and foster student achievement of the standards. Providing students ongoing, constructive feedback on performance in a timely manner can ensure students acquire a positive attitude toward continuous improvement. Setting priorities and being selective will ensure that the assessments are tied to significant and meaningful learning. Changing the context of the assessment to make it more relevant to student interests and local settings may enhance the face validity of the assessments and encourage student engagement in them.
Why Developmental Stages?
Classroom assessments were developed for ten developmental stages of each Learning Standard. Stages AH correspond to grades 1 8. Stages I and J correspond to early and late high school. We used stages instead of grade levels to accommodate the range of development that exists in every classroom. For example, we would recommend that a third grade teacher begin by looking at Stage C because we wrote and field tested Stage C assessments with third graders in mind. But we would also recommend that a third-grade teacher look at Stages B and D.
Why Learning-Area Rubrics?
Every learning area has a learning-area or general rubric that focuses the evaluation of all student work on the overarching, essential elements of learning in that area. For example, in mathematics the expectation is that all students should develop not only mathematical knowledge but also mathematical strategies (e.g., reasoning and problem solving) and the ability to explain and justify their strategies. Each classroom assessment augments the learning area rubric by providing the task specific kind of evidence teachers should look for in the student work. The general learning-area rubrics developed by ISBEs Assessment Division for English/language arts, mathematics and social science were used in these classroom assessments. Our writing teams for the other four learning areas developed general learning-area rubrics and task specific rubrics expressly for their classroom assessments.
Why Keep Continuous Improvement in Mind?
The classroom assessments have gone though many iterations, reviews and field tests, but they are not perfect. We hope they will be a useful resource to you, but lets work together to make them even better. In using these assessments in your classroom, you may find a way to improve them. Please let us know so that we can continuously update the classroom assessments. Also, if one of your students produces work that you think other teachers would like to see, send it to us. If you do the latter, please contact us first because a parent permission slip must accompany all student work we use. Send your suggestions for improvement to:

In the spring of 1964, Tamarind was nearing its one thousandth print. All of Tamarind's lithographs have a unique number, and in anticipation of this momentous achievement, the number 1,000 was reserved for the founder, June Wayne. The artist, however, did not get around to completing the work for several months, and when she finally did, her colleagues exclaimed, "At last! A thousand!" This lithograph, a marker of Wayne's superb technical advancements, can be seen as both a culmination and a projection of what was to come in her oeuvre. She returned to cosmic imagery as her career progressed, and the texture of the print, which determined the subject—none of it was drawn—was achieved through a complex application of sprayed tusche, salt, sand and other debris.
