Washington State's Alternative Education.
Washington Office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Olympia.
The literature of the educational field suggests that a movement is taking place in many of our school systems that expands the traditional structure and transforms it into an integrated approach designed to meet the needs of all students. Instead of shaping the students to fit the mold of the system, the system is being expanded to make allowances for individual differences. Alternative programs are another attempt by concerned educators to respond to the needs of individual students. In an effort to gain a picture of the extent of alternative education in the State of Washington and to help local districts avoid re-inventing the proverbial wheel, a survey was conducted during the 1971-72 school year wherein each public school district was asked to describe its alternative education programs. In April of 1972, an Alternative Education Workshop was held in Issaquah, Washington, to discuss the problems inherent in the alternative education movement. This booklet provides excerpted comments from workshop participants and brief descriptions of the more than 200 alternative education programs offered in 95 of the State's public school districts as reported on the survey. The programs have been indexed into two categories based on age grouping/program and the instructional mode, with groupings representing programs for pre-school through adult education.

The Class F gang visits the beach for some summer swimsuit fun, and Hideyoshi attempts to prove his masculinity with male swimwear...
The loveable losers of lowly Class F are back for more fun in the second season of Baka and Test – Summon the Beasts! Goofball Yoshii's still leading his crew in Avatar battles against the brainier students in school, but the girls in Class F have grown way less concerned with improving their status on campus. Instead of moving up in the world, the girls are more interested in getting closer to the guys in the gang! Of course, some of the boys are totally oblivious to the romantic intentions of their female friends. That's to be expected in a group of dim-wits and misfits. Nonetheless, the femmes of Class F aren't giving up anytime soon. Because when love is on the line, even the biggest underachievers can find motivation – even if they can't spell it!

State Water Resources Research Institute Program
Project ID: 2008HI227B
Title: Integrated Management of Multiple Aquifers in the Face of Climate Change
Project Type: Research
Start Date: 3/01/2008
End Date: 2/28/2009
Congressional District: First
Focus Categories: Economics, Management and Planning, Hydrology
Keywords: (integrated) water system management, demand management, efficiency pricing, dynamic optimization, consumer welfare, marginal user cost, climate change
Principal Investigator: Roumasset, James A.
Federal Funds: $ 20,525
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $ 34,742
Abstract: We propose an intertemporal and spatial optimization model to derive an efficient pricing scheme for the integrated water system of Southern Oahu. Welfare gains from this scheme will be analyzed and compared to those associated with the pricing scheme initiated by the Honolulu Board of Water Supply in October 2006. Recommended management schemes will extend the useful life of the Southern Oahu aquifers, delaying use of costly desalination, and induce conservation through pricing mechanisms that account for marginal user cost. In addition, we will incorporate the impact of future climate change on the efficient allocation of water. Global warming will likely have a significant impact on rainfall frequency and intensity, which will in turn affect groundwater recharge. Under the current pricing structure, groundwater is already being over-consumed, and failing to account for climate change will exacerbate the extant under-pricing problem.

I don't care much about any sport that doesn't have cheerleaders. Heck, forget the sport and just have the cheerleaders.
Yeah. With his high scores, it's no fun. Of course, the few times I've golfed, I enjoyed it, even if I was "double par for the course."
: ) And there's often crying, unlike baseball – where there's no crying…
My husband went to the Masters in 2007 and they even confiscated every spectator's cell phone. They actually had to use dedicated land lines the club put in for the spectators (away from the play of course). Shushing is right
Or hang gliding. (Anyone remember how they met?)
It's good to see the Paul character developed more. We barely knew anything about him compared to the animals. Now we know he likes to golf. But hopefully some dimensions of his personality come through more clearly to flesh him out more. So we can know him in the same way we know Gus.

Friday Fabulousness....
13 comments:
That sounds like a pretty great week! Loved that book too, and I'm also researching flights for this year's trips. It's so fun to have them to look forward to!ReplyDelete
So true, why complicate life! Love that one.ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend xx
Hello!! I love the sound of your week and these images are so beautiful. I especially like the first one and the laptop on the beach. Ohh the beach - my goodness it feels like a long time since I saw the sun.ReplyDelete
I meant to comment on your juice post - I am so impressed with your resolve. It does completely change your relationship with food doesn't it? I need to do that - I am having an unhealthy relationship with cakes and chocolate at the moment! A friend of mine does motivational speeches and has met Jason Vale - he is apparently as driven and hyper in real life as his books suggest! Does he ever have a down day? There is no such word as 'can't'!!
Your son and my son sound similarly quirky - some of things he comes out with are precious. God bless little boys.
Lou x
You got me at hello with that first picture!ReplyDelete
Why complicate life? picture couldn't be more true!
I am back from Uruguay where the beach is amazing, can't wait for french summer!
If you come to Villefranche, this time we have to meet!
BIG HUGS, Eliana
Love everything about this post- the photo of the beach with laptop, why complicate things quote is fabulous , and kids do say some pretty amazing things! A lunch with your daughter sounds wonderful. Glad you have your dad all sorted out, that must be a load off of your mind! Thanks for your help with my juice detox - starting tomorrow! Happy weekend! xxoo :)ReplyDelete

Hi Simone...sounds like a wonderful week..so pleased you've found your Dad a so-far-very-lovely nursing home, they do exist...your son sounds so sweet...and on a shallow note...love the off-the-shoulder sweater :)ReplyDelete
You too have a fabulous weekend.
LOVE that quote and SO wish i could set up my home office ON the beach - can we say DREAM!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
What a great week Simone ~ the best news about getting your Dad to a new place! I have not yet made that french onion soup but that picture spoke to me when I found it on Pinterest ~ will have to get the ingredients and do it this week while I am off! Laughing at your little man's life plan ~ he does have a great imagination and that my sweet girl is a good thing. Have a fabulous week-end. xoReplyDelete
Hey there Simone - what a couple of weeks you've had! So super-productive, healthy & purposeful. You've inspired me to throw off the layers of Lindt ball wrappers & haul my rear end around the veggie market buying anything and everything green. I also bought quinoa. Cause that's how I roll when I'm inspired. Lemongrass is sitting on my kitchen bench waiting to be bashed into submission & once I work out what I'm meant to do with it I'll let you know:).ReplyDelete
Great, great news about your Dad. What a relief for you. Hope lunch was gorgeous with your baby girl....did you see Clive? Big hugs, Meredy xo
What a fab and productive week you've had Sim. Wow! your little boy sounds divine. If only we saw life like that as adults-that anything is possible.ReplyDelete
So pleased to hear the news about your Dad too.
Have a lovely weekend Sweets xx
Your Friday randomness is awesome, haven't told you this year how much I adore you, consider it done.ReplyDelete
My, you've been such a busy girl, Simone! I'm so pleased to hear the news about your darling Dad. You're often in my thoughts. J xReplyDelete

Maltipoo Grooming
So you have decided to buy a Maltipoo? Great choice; this is the perfect breed for many people. Hopefully, before you purchased this type of dog you looked into the grooming that goes into owning one. Unlike some short hair dogs, Maltipoo grooming can be quite extensive. There is a lot that goes into this, and you need to make sure that you are always on top of things. After all, you do not want your Maltipoo's coat to get out of control. This will only make more problems for you in the long run.
The most important part of the Maltipoo grooming process is dealing with your dog's coat. Its coat can get quite long in a short period of time, and you need to make sure that you are constantly keeping an eye on this.
There are two ways that you can have your Maltipoo's coat cut. First off, you may simply want to have it cut short so that you do not have to deal with regular grooming appointments and time consuming daily brushing. But if you want your Maltipoo to look like a dog of luxury, a professional groomer could give it a Poodle cut of sorts. As you can imagine, this will make your Maltipoo look like a million bucks.
As mentioned above, to make things easier on you, take the time to brush your Maltipoo's coat on a regular basis. While doing this daily would be ideal, this can often times be difficult. But with that being said, you should try to do this at least a few times per week. Believe it or not, this will help in the long run by preventing matting.
Other common Maltipoo grooming tasks include bathing, clipping of the nails, etc. These are both things that you can do on your own in the comfort of your home.
If you are not interested in how good your Maltipoo looks, you may want to consider cutting it at home. You can purchase a dog grooming kit from your local pet store. From there, you can cut your Maltipoo's hair so that you do not have to hire a professional. Not only will this save you money, but as you get better at this task, it will save you time as well.
There is a lot that goes into Maltipoo grooming thanks to a long coat. But if you are willing to deal with these details, it is safe to say that you will be the proud owner of one of the most beautiful dogs in the neighborhood!

Declining U.S. cotton acreage means the United States is doing its job to reduce cotton surpluses in the world, according to cotton market analysts speaking at the Ag Market Network's April teleconference.
The only problem is that it may take another year to whittle them down to an adequate level.
According to O.A. Cleveland, professor emeritus, Mississippi State University, the Mid-South could lead the way in reducing cotton acreage this year.
"I've said through my career that the last bale of cotton grown in the world would be grown in the Mississippi Delta, but I've changed my tune. The last bale of cotton grown in the world is going to be on the High Plains of Texas. Texas is certainly the center of cotton activity in the United States. It's also the largest quality area in the United States."
Meanwhile, the Mid-South is looking at a reduction over last year of about 11 percent, according to USDA's March 31 Prospective Plantings report. "Mississippi is expected to plant about 300,000 acres and Arkansas, about 520,000 acres," Cleveland said. "Both of those states were pushing a million acres just four years ago. So it's a substantial drop."
Arkansas is expected to have the highest cotton acreage in the Mid-South, and the third highest in the United States behind Georgia's 940,000 acres and Texas' 4.7 million acres.
"Arkansas is a bit like Texas in the sense that landlords and landlords with gin interests require a good bit of cotton production. They want cotton grown."
The Southeast is not down as much in cotton acres as the Mid-South, about 3 percent, noted Cleveland. "We're going to have about 240,000 acres in Alabama. We used to think that Alabama was a very small cotton-producing state, but now it's about the same as Mississippi and Louisiana in actuality. Georgia will continue to maintain a significant acreage, but they are very dry."
Cleveland says that another big change in the cotton industry is a shifting of emphasis from price-driven demand to quality-driven demand. "International mills are concerned about quality first and foremost. Some people say it's price, but we have to have quality."
One region that has significantly improved its reputation for quality is Texas, which is expected to plant well over half of the U.S. crop this year.
"We are so glad we have the high quality cotton today," said Carl Anderson, Extension economist, cotton marketing, Texas A&M University. "When I first started working for Texas A&M and the education system, our crop was known as the junk cotton of the world. We were selling low quality and high quality cotton for basically the same price.
"We've come a long way and I'm very proud of our producers, producer leaders, agribusiness associations and seed companies who are working to make Texas a high quality, desirable market."
Having a desirable product could prove to be an advantage since the world is presently holding a surplus of cotton, according to Anderson. "In fact, it's the largest supply of cotton in seven years."
Seven years ago cotton prices had slipped to a paltry 32 cents per pound, noted Anderson. "We certainly hope the market doesn't have to go that low, but supplies are plentiful in the United States and foreign countries as well. So users are reluctant to buy cotton and are certainly not buying very far ahead of time."
It's made for a bearish cotton market, notes Anderson. "We're looking for December 2008 to trade somewhere between 50 cents and 60 cents."
Anderson noted that USDA's March 31 report indicating 8.8 million acres of U.S. cotton in 2009 "is 7 percent lower than last year but higher than what we anticipated."
Anderson estimates cotton acres in Texas at between 4.7 million and 5 million acres. "Because of the dry weather here in Texas, we're expecting lower yields and a U.S. crop close to 13 million bales.
"That means for two years in a row, we've been producing 10 million fewer bales annually than we did four years ago. That also means we are doing a good job of contributing to the reduction of the overall excess supply of cotton in the world. We've had the opportunity to plant some alternative crops and keep our grower income at high levels."
Anderson said that USDA reported cotton exports of 403,000 bales for the week ending March 26, "which means we only have to cover about 204,000 bales per week for the rest of the marketing year to reach USDA's projection for 12 million bales in exports.
"Another surprise was that Mexico recently stepped in and bought 120,000 bales of cotton."
Anderson said that last year's cotton market disruption was a clear lesson for cotton producers to think ahead. "The market started off looking pretty good in the beginning of the year. None of us knew how bad it would collapse, but anytime you know you could have a price wreck when the market's at 80 cents to 90 cents, you better get some price insurance."
On the future of cotton prices, Anderson said, "I think there are definitely better days ahead for cotton, although it may take another year."

Hey UncleFester.
Just to clarify, do you need to get 6 numbers correct to get the jackpot? (In other words, you have five numbers and want to get the probability of winning the jackpot given that you already have five winning numbers)?
Hi all,I'm working on an assignment but I got an answer for one of the questions that makes no sense. The question is about the lottery (6 numbers picked, from 1 to 49):'What is the conditional probability that a ticket wins the jackpot, given that it matches at least 5 of the numbers drawn?'I used: P(E|F)= P(EF)/P(F)Where P(EF) ~ 1/14,000,000 and P(F) ~ 1/50,000. The answer I got was 1/265 but I don't see how that's possible. Surely the answer should be 1/44?Any help would be very appreciated,Thanks
Hey UncleFester.
Just to clarify, do you need to get 6 numbers correct to get the jackpot? (In other words, you have five numbers and want to get the probability of winning the jackpot given that you already have five winning numbers)?
Hey Chiro,
Thanks for the reply. Yes 6 numbers is the jackpot. Also I should clarify that it's the probability given that you have at least 5 numbers, so the answer I think should be actually more likely than 1/44 - I just can't see where I went so wrong.
1/44 sounds like the right answer.
Intuitively you already have 5 numbers so you only have 49-5=44 choices left. All choices are equally likely since we assume that the process of picking the ball is random.
If your answer is 1/44 then it is correct.
My course tutor said:
'1/44 is not the right answer. Note that "you match at least five balls" is different from "you match the first five balls drawn": the conditional probability given the latter would indeed be 1/44'
I think the formula I gave in the OP is what is needed, but I must be using it wrong somehow
I'm not following you.
In your lottery are there 6 different numbers? When a number is selected is it taken out of the urn? If so have you already picked five winning and completely distinct numbers from the urn and taken them out for good?
If the above is the case, and all balls have an equally likely chance of being selected then the probability should be 1/44.
If you have different assumptions, then we need to know them.
Let's work with outcomes rather than probabilities. There are possible outcomes for any given ticket.
There is 1 outcome where your chosen numbers match the jackpot. Now, let's count the outcomes where the ticket matches the winning numbers for at least five of the six numbers.
At least 5 winning numbers means exactly five winning numbers and one non-winning number or exactly six winning numbers. So, let's try that. You have six winning numbers. Choose five of them. You have 43 non-winning numbers. Choose one of them. That is the number of outcomes that give you exactly five winning numbers and one non-winning number. There are a total of outcomes. Finally, there is exactly 1 outcome where you win the jackpot. That is a total of 259 outcomes for "at least five winning numbers".
So, the conditional probability is the number of outcomes where you win the jackpot divided by the number of outcomes where you have at least five winning numbers. That is .
I think the mistake I made was that I didn't care about the ordering.
For the OP: I assumed the event was P(Final Number|Other Previous numbers) with no kind of ordering where I treat say the set {A,B,C,D,E,F} as that set with no ordering information what-so-ever.
If you are making different assumptions then you will get different answers and I wanted to clarify my assumptions.

Tribe finishes weekend with three points
© Katie Brickman
Medicine Hat Tigers goaltender Cam Lanigan tries to peek out from behind his defenceman Dylan Busenius and Moose Jaw Warriors forward Sam Fioretti during Western Hockey League action on Sunday evening at Mosaic Place. Times-Herald photo by Katie Brickman
Not even the normal stellar play of the Moose Jaw Warriors at home could stop the Medicine Hat Tigers from extending their current winning streak to four games.
After an up and down beginning to the season, the Tigers have seemed to hit a surge and a 3-2 overtime victory over the Warriors on Sunday evening in Western Hockey League action helped keep the streak alive.
"It is a nice turnaround. The guys are playing harder, playing simpler and we are battling," said Tigers coach and general manager Shaun Clouston.
Despite playing three games in three days, including a 5-1 loss to Prince Albert on Saturday evening, the Warriors were not using that as an excuse. In fact, Warriors head coach Mike Stothers felt the team had a much better effort compared to the game against the Raiders.
"I thought we were better than we were last night (Saturday). I wasn't overly impressed with (Saturday) and I thought we were much better tonight (Sunday), but we just didn't get the result we were looking for," he stated. "In a less than 24 hour span, I think it was a step in the right direction."
Justin Kirsch got the Warriors on the board in the first period when he scored on a shot from behind the goal line that bounced off the back of Tigers goaltender Cam Lanigan. A late goal from Curtis Valk tied the game up for the Tigers in the opening frame.
The two teams were still deadlocked after two periods. Warriors killed off a delay of game penalty then just seconds after Tanner Eberle exited the box, Dylan Bredo scored through the five-hole of Justin Paulic to give the Tigers the lead.
The Warriors responded with a goal from Sam Fioretti, his 13th on the season on the power play and the two teams remained tied at the end of regulation.
At 1:13 of the overtime period, Boston Leier came out from behind the Warriors net and found Bredo near the crease and behind two defenders for the game winner.
"It was so close…it was a one goal overtime game. Until the last one goes in, it was anyone's game. We pulled ahead in the third and unfortunately couldn't hold on. I thought the last few minutes, we played well and we didn't panic and made sure we got the one point," explained Clouston. "Dylan Bredo has been playing a really strong game for us and he and Boston connected on the winner."

Over the years, Dr. Martens wearers have bonded with their boots by patiently waiting for them to
break in.
For other, patience is not an option. It's these people who've gone the extra mile in search of a way to speed up the time from box fresh to broken in. It's fair to say, these often unorthodox methods don't come with a recommendation from us!
For those seeking an instant results, Dr. Martens have a solution.
The "Broken-In" Collection has been treated to a multi step wearing-in process to give you a head start
to this long-standing ritual. Although the boots retain the features of the original 1460 8-eye boot, they
have the appearance of being lived-in and loved for years.

The Holidays
As of December 23rd, 2008, I have yet to do any Christmas shopping. Tonight I found myself lying in my bed with the realization that Christmas Eve is tomorrow. It seems to have snuck up on me this year, maybe it does most years and I just don't remember. However, my thought is this: is it just me or does it just not seem like the holiday season? I notice Christmas lights everywhere, practically dying by the enraged Colorado drivers rushing to get to the mall, and that those creepy Santa Clauses with the clearly fake beards (I just don't see how kids don't see through it)l; but there's something here that's lacking for me. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm just not in the "Christmas spirit." It's suddenly like this whole concept of Christmas is completely foreign to me.
I was born December 16th, and usually my relatives and friends just kind of mesh everything together, Christmas and birthday. After graduating, my birthday just kind of got lost in the chaos. As the years go by, I've noticed Christmas decorations being displayed before Halloween. I think a few years ago, I thought I should celebrate Hanukkah, that obviously didn't happen because it started yesterday and I have yet to buy any one or receive a gift. Of course, it would have probably helped had I told people I was choosing to celebrate Hanukkah. I guess I don't have a menorah either. Hmm… I didn't prepare for either holiday very well. I guess, is it so wrong to feel so apathetic toward something that everybody makes a big deal of? My family keeps asking me what I want for Christmas, and I can't really think of anything (an internship with the Rockies would be nice, but I don't think that's very reasonable to ask from them).
I think part of the reason I feel so lethargic is that the holidays just never became the same after my parents divorced. The first time I visited home from college, I found out my parents were getting divorced (nice welcome home), but I was old enough to understand that things were going to dramatically change. I'm not sure this apathy stems from that though, maybe slightly. I can tell you that I have low self-confidence and low self-esteem. Maybe part of me wants to see everyone else as miserable as I am. Hopefully that's not entirely true and I actually want to see people happy. I can't quite put my finger on what it is.
It may be that the holidays are supposed to be a time for giving, for loving, and for valuing each other. Not necessarily those exclusively in your family, but to those all around. Living in such a mass consuming society, we often forget those values around the holiday season and find parents scrambling to get their kids Rock Band or Guitar Hero. Or that people are so engulfed in their own needs, that they over look anyone else. I went out to the mall in Loveland today to meet some friends for lunch, and I almost died trying to cross the street!!
Maybe it's just me, but I don't feel like any one else is really in the holiday mood. I could blame the economic crisis (the reason the Rockies aren't accepting interns), but for the most part, that doesn't seem to be making a whole lot of difference. Maybe I'm depressed. I use the term depressed loosely. By today's standards, depressed and clinically depressed have become interchangeable, even though they really shouldn't be.
I think I miss my friends. Now that the university is on it's winter break, I'm not seeing my friends anymore or even as much. They're all working, busy having to try and make money during this stupid time. I have yet to go out and search for a job since I'll be moving to Denver pretty soon anyway. I guess I don't entirely know what it is. This was just something I needed to get off my chest.

I hear ya, I wasn't in the holiday mood till I watched National Lampoon's Christmas with Chevy Chase. It's a funny movie. It teaches although Christmas can be a crazy time of year, it can also be a great time of year if you survive the craziness. Even if you don't like it, there is always summer to look forward to. Swimming pools and baseball! I'm also looking for a internship somewhere with a MLB club. Its gotta be pretty tough now.
Another great movie is A Christmas Story. It shows that yes, every family has its quirks and twists, but as we get older those are the things we remember and cherish. "Getting in the holiday spirit" is different for each person. You have to find what makes the holidays special for you and run with it. My holiday celebration isn't yours and it shouldn't be. Don't define your holidays by what others do. When you're shopping today – joke with the people around you, smile, wish someone Merry Christmas. I guarantee you'll get back ten-fold what you give! Merry Christmas fellow blogger! I wish you peace.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not depressed or anything, but it really doesn't feel like Christmas. I'm going to a Christmas play this afternoon, so maybe that will get me in the spirit. It's just weird. Check out this entry: http://kaybee.mlblogs.com/archives/2008/12/what_is_the_true_meaning_of_ch.html
Welikeroy: I've never seen that movie. I'm not a big Chevy Chase fan, I don't really know why. I'm very much looking forward to March for spring training. I'm definitely disappointed that there won't be an internship to go to, but I guess I'll just have to keep trying.
Julia: I've always enjoyed watching A Christmas Story. I think I recall hearing that it gets played on some station like, twenty-four hours between Christmas eve and Christmas day. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well.
Kaybee: I think a lot of people don't feel like it's Christmas because of this crappy economy. It's just bringing a lot of disappointments. There's a book called Affluenza that gave some ridiculous statistic about our mass consuming society that said more Americans visit shopping malls weekly than attend church services.
That's sad news to hear that the Rockies aren't hiring interns because of the economy. I know the Rockies haven't been notorious this offseason for shelling out lots of dough for players, but it does make me wonder if the Yankees will be doing any intern hiring this year…

Joey- I am pretty disappointed about the Rockies, I'm hoping to just keep trying. Also, I guess I don't have permission to comment on your blog, but I think it's cool that you intern for a minor league team. That was something I was trying to get into, but the field I'm looking at getting into, everything has to go through the minor league's major league affiliate.

Weeds and bad habits
Unwanted habits are a lot like weeds. You pull one out and two take its place. (or so it seems). You stop smoking, for instance, and you eat more so now you have a weight problem. Yikes! You stop biting your nails but start twisting your hair and grinding your teeth as your stress level increases. Your work on procrastination causes you to lose your temper because you feel so rushed.Read more

A second man shot in a triple shooting on the South Side last week died yesterday.
Javon Starghill, 21, Jeremy Head, 25, and a 17-year-old girl were shot about 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 9 as the three sat in a car in front of 299 Harland Ave.
Head died at the scene. Starghill died at 2:47 a.m. yesterday at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, according to Franklin County Coroner Jan Gorniak.
A woman at Starghill's house on the South Side declined to speak to a reporter yesterday, saying she was grieving.
Head was the city's first homicide of 2014; Starghill was the fifth.
Rakwona Mickens, 17, an ex-girlfriend of Starghill's, said she'd last hung out with him about two weeks ago at her house.
"He said that a lot of people were talking about killing him. He was just talking about life."
Starghill didn't seem worried about being in danger. "He said he knew God was with him," Mickens said.
Jaiscina Powell, who was with Head and Starghill in the car, was released from Grant this week. She was shot four times and crawled toward a house on Harland Avenue seeking safety.
She tweeted just before 1 a.m. yesterday: "noooooo Javon please, we was pose to make it thru this together ...nooooo." Both Head and Starghill had been shot in the head, a search warrant says.
No arrests have been made in the shootings. Columbus police said evidence from the scene suggested the shootings were drug-related. Witnesses said two men ran from the scene.
Anyone with information is asked to call homicide detectives at 614-645-4730.

So far in this offseason, the grand majority of the writer's ink has been consumed by the lockout, the draft, and then, like a boomerang aiming for the worst part of the anatomy, back to the lockout again.
Talk surrounding the San Diego Chargers has mainly focused on the draft, first-round pick Corey Liuget, and the hopes of a city resting on his huge shoulders. If you run out of things to write about with Liuget, write about Darren Sproles and his pending free agency. No Sproles, maybe Vincent Jackson. No Jackson, dig up something about how hapless Los Angeles will snag away the Bolts and return them to their original home—L.A.'s pitiful record with professional football teams notwithstanding.
How funny, then, that people should forget the franchise player himself, the smack-talking, sidearm-throwing, melon-headed quarterback from Alabama wearing No. 17; the guy you love unless he is playing against you.
If you are one of the AFC West teams, you long for the days of yore when it was perfectly acceptable to boil people in oil or stick them into an iron maiden, because that's exactly where AFC West teams would want Philip Rivers.
There are some QBs that are destined for greatness, regardless of whether that coveted big ring is on their fingers once they step away from the game for good.
Just what makes a QB great varies. Some like Marino will put up the numbers. Some will have that one unforgettable game, like Joe Namath. Some will win Super Bowl after Super Bowl like Montana.
This article recounts Philip Rivers' path to greatness in five acts, in chronological order, or his five greatest games in pro football.
There will be plenty of guffaws and scoffs here from Rivers' peers and critics. But, Super Bowl ring or none, even those will have to grudgingly agree that he is a QB for the ages.

Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of invasive bacterial disease and otitis media in infants and young children. Licensed pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines are not reliably immunogenic in children younger than 2 years of age; therefore pneumococcal glycoprotein conjugate vaccines are currently being evaluated for safety, immunogenicity and efficacy in various age groups.
Methods: During a 12-month period we determined the kinetics of pneumococcal IgG antibody in 60 children who received primary immunization with one dose of bivalent (serotypes 6A and 23F) pneumococcal polysaccharide-CRM197 vaccines at 18 to 30 months of age. To assess immunologic priming a subgroup of 20 subjects received secondary immunization with pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, including serotypes 6B and 23F, at 11 to 20 months after primary immunization. Pneumococcal-specific IgG subclass distributions were also evaluated in the subgroup.
Results: In the 12 months after primary immunization with glycoprotein conjugate vaccine, geometric mean pneumococcal IgG antibody concentrations to 6B and 23F serotypes remained stable. Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine induced a greater anamnestic response in children primed with the glycoprotein conjugate vaccines (13- to 40-fold increases to geometric mean concentrations of 6 to 30 μg/ml for type 23F), than in those primed with polysaccharide (2- to 4-fold increases). A greater IgG response to pneumococcal serotype 23F than to 6B was observed with both primary and secondary immunization. The serotype-specific pneumococcal IgG antibody response was virtually restricted to the IgG1 subclass after primary immunization, but secondary immunization elicited antibodies of IgG1 and IgG2 subclasses.
Conclusions: These glycoprotein conjugate vaccines appear to prime for anamnestic IgG antibody responses to subsequent immunization with polysaccharide vaccine, suggesting that the polysaccharide-CRM197 vaccine effectively induces a predominantly T cell-dependent immune response. The greater IgG response to 23F than to 6B indicates that pneumococcal serotype is a major determinant of immunogenicity of pneumococcal glycoprotein conjugate vaccines.

Is it really worth it to buy things with coupons?
"Is it really worth it to buy things with coupons?"
I get that question quite often from friends, family members, and even complete strangers in the stores.
My answer usually astonishes them because I tell them "yes and no." I think they were looking for me to say unequivocally... YES!
If you read through my hints and tips article you will see that I mentioned "comparing prices". Some times using a coupon does not make the item cheaper than the store brand or generic brand. So you should be observant of that.
There is a method to using coupons effectively.
Here are a few more tips.
1. Know your store's coupon policy.
Does your store double coupons? If so, to what amount and are there any limits on how many of the same coupon/or like item you can purchase in one order?
Example: Let's say the Canned Dole Pineapple is $1.50 and your store will double that .50 off coupon. You just reduced your cost to .50 for that item and it does indeed end up costing less than the generic brand for which you don't have a coupon for.
Ask the stores if they double coupons if you don't know if they do or not. Some don't but many stores do. Remember though, just because a store doubles coupons doesn't mean you're going to get the best deal with your coupon there. We'll get to that in a minute.
2. Watch your sales and DON'T stick to just one store for all your needs.
Being "store loyal" can be a detriment to your wallet.
Watch the store sale ads and put your coupons to double work by using that coupon on the sale item to make it even lower in price. Once you get to shopping around, you'll notice that what may be $2.49 at Walmart may actually be $1.99 at your regular grocery store and if you have a double coupon store, your cost can be even lower. And that's what I allured to in #1... Know your prices. Keep a price book if necessary on the items you buy frequently. BUT don't rush out to use those coupons immediately.
SEE #3 below.
3. Hold 'Em.
Just because you have it doesn't mean you have to use it immediately.
Hold on to those coupons because the stores know in advance what coupons are coming out in the Sunday inserts and they put those items on sale. That sale price is not the lowest sale price that will be on that item before those coupons expire. Usually the week that the coupon expires is when that item will go on sale for it's lowest price. (Or at least that has been my experience over the years.)
4. Buying in multiples.
When you find a good deal and you have coupons for the items, buy more than one (up to the store's limit if there is one). This is commonly called stockpiling.
You can get extras of coupons by asking friends and family to save the coupon inserts for you, order them online for a small shipping and handling charge from places like The Coupon Clippers, Coupons & Things By Dede, and The Coupon Master. Of course, if you're a daring individual - scope out the paper recycling bins for extra inserts.... just be sure to ask someone before you do as many areas are not allowing this to be done now.
By buying multiples of items, I am:
5. Get acquainted.
Get to know your store's policy, upcoming sale ads, Good Deal Alerts (GDA), and much more by frequently reading online forums that cater to people who wish to save money with coupons, sales, etc.
6. Make a List.
Now that you have the coupons in hand and the sale flyers, go through each one and make a list of the "best deals" you can use then match them accordingly to coupons while keeping in mind #3 above.
7. Don't be brand loyal.
We all probably have our favorites when it comes to an item. My husband prefers Heinz ketchup but we rarely get coupons for that but he will compromise with me if I have a coupon for another brand of ketchup that makes it cost less than his favorite brand. By being "brand flexible" I have more leeway to save with the coupons than if I was to stick to one brand.
So "Is it really worth it to buy things with coupons?"
Yes and no.
Yes you can save a lot of money by using coupons BUT at the same time, if you're buying something just because you have a coupon or don't need the item.. then no that's not really saving you money. If you are diligent and observant, you can get your main toiletry items free after coupons. Items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo, razors, etc. can usually be gotten for free or for pennies. Stock up when you find those time deals ... even if it's enough to get you through until the next sale cycle on those things comes back around. I don't know about you but I think the health & beauty items alone really rack up a grocery bill in a hurry if you're not using coupons for them.

Great article. One of the things that I am learning quickly is that just because I have a coupon for an item on sale, I don't have to use it right now. As you stated the price I saw today, may not be the cheapest sale price I'm going to see before that coupon expires.
|The Following 12 Users Say Thank You to BobH For This Useful Post:
Great article. One thing I have noticed to is that sometimes when a lower coupon comes out for the same thing as a higer value coupon came out... oh say... 1 month ago or so, then the store might put something on sale and mention the lower value coupon in their flyer, knowing that usually people get coupons, use the ones they see they can use that week and then end up throwing the others away. So they know most people do not still have the higher value coupons. BUT.... I have found that I can then take those higher value coupons to the store and end up getting the item for free or in the case of drug stores, end up making money on the item through coupons they give me at the ends of my reciepts to spend in their store on another transaction. So yes, it does pay to keep your coupons even on items you don't normally buy or brand you wouldn't normally pruchase because it May go on sale before the coupon expiration date, at a price you can't say no to.. and who knows, you may try the product and like it... or end up getting a more expensive brand of the same product that you may never have purchased before because of the price!!!!

Great post! I ditto the statement about "hold 'em". It only took me a few times to hold on to the coupons right before the expiration date. I get better deals that way.

thnx, i really never paid attention to waiting till the last minute for a deal but lately now that i think of it, it does make sense as i missed one deal and thought the coupon would not get used but sure enough something equal or better came along. thnx for pointing that out, i never like admitting that i have multiple high value coups but didn't get to use them. lol
