UTCH 3001 Knowing and Learning in Mathematics and Science Education 3/0/3
Prerequisite: UTCH 2001 and UTCH 2002
The goal of this course is to develop a powerful tool kit of approaches to knowing and learning in mathematics and science. This course focuses on issues of what it means to learn and know science and mathematics. What are the standards for knowing we will use? How are knowing and learning structured, and how does what we know change and develop? For the science and mathematics educator, what are the tensions between general, cross-disciplinary characterizations of knowing e.g., intelligence and the specifics of coming to understand powerful ideas in mathematics and science? What are the links between knowing and developing in learning theory, and the content and evolution of scientific ideas? What are the connections between kinds of assessments and theories of knowing? How are various uses of technology associated with specific approaches to learning?

To create an uncommon and lifelong brotherhood that develops leaders and encourages service to others for the betterment of our communities.
A future where every Pi Kappa Phi embraces his role as a leader, puts service before self and improves the world around him.
Pi Kappa Phi was founded at the College of Charleston on December 10, 1904. Since then, Pi Kappa Phi has grown to over 175 active chapters, including our own. Our Theta Lambda Chapter was chartered on April 1, 2006 at Missouri State University. Since our charter date, we have grown in size and quality, including being named "Chapter of the Year" by Missouri State Fraternity and Sorority Life in 2014. We pride ourselves in being inclusive, as we all come from different backgrounds and lifestyles.
The Ability Experience is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves people with disabilities. The Ability Experience was founded in 1977 as the national philanthropy of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity with the purpose of instilling lifelong service in its members and enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities. Although the organization is still fulfilling the purpose for which it was intended, The Ability Experience has grown into a nationally recognized nonprofit with numerous programs educating undergraduates, alumni and communities about the abilities of people with disabilities.
The Ability Experience's mission is, "We use shared experiences to support people with disabilities and develop the men of Pi Kappa Phi into servant leaders." which has been fulfilled for more than 35 years. Although the wording may have been changed, The Ability Experience's vision to "Create a community, one relationship at a time, where the abilities of all people are recognized and valued," remains unchanged. Through programs of all kinds, participants display The Ability Experience's four core values (abilities, teamwork, empathy and integrity) while serving others. Although the funds raised are invaluable, just as important is an increased awareness of the amazing things people with disabilities can do, as opposed to focusing on what they can't.
Join us for our Spring Rush Events! Come learn about Pi Kapp and meet us while having fun!

Baby blown 16km by tornado survives
A toddler survived after being carried 16km by a tornado that killed her entire family.
Twenty-month-old Angel Babcock is in a critical condition in hospital after her mobile home in New Pekin, southern Indiana, was torn apart by a powerful tornado.
Her parents and siblings were among at least 39 people known to have been killed when a series of tornadoes struck in a swath of storms that battered much of the US on Friday.
Rescuers said Angel had suffered serious head injuries.
Washington County Sheriff Claude Combs said Angel was found near the bodies of her mother, Moriah Brough, 20, brother Jayden, 2, and two-month-old sister Kendall, who was still strapped into her baby seat. Her father, Joseph, 21, was also found dead.
Her grandfather, Jack Brough, said: "The doctors told us the next 24 to 48 hours are very critical. I'm just asking everyone to pray for my granddaughter and for my family."
The family was last seen lying in the hallway of their mobile home holding hands and praying as the tornado approached.
A neighbour, Jason Miller, ran over to offer them shelter in his larger mobile home, but was picked up by the tornado and hurled across the road. He has several broken bones.
Marcia Lanham, whose daughter Beverley is Miller's girlfriend, said: "He's a hero. He went next door to bring them over, and they all got killed."
Brough had been on his way to meet his daughter when the tornado siren went off.
He said: "We got in the car and started driving and as we got closer and closer, the whole area was flattened.
"I kept saying: 'Oh my God! Oh my God!' I was breathing so hard. I couldn't see my daughter's trailer for nothing. It was gone. Her entire life was about Joe and her children. She loved her kids; she was always with them."
The storms tore through 17 states, stretching from the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes. At one point, about a third of the US in the south and Midwest was under a tornado warning.
The towns worst hit were Marysville and Henryville in Indiana, and New Liberty, Kentucky, which are said to have been virtually wiped out.
Hundreds of people were injured, many seriously. Gilbert Acciardo, of the Laurel County Sheriff's Department in Kentucky, said he expected there would be amputations and a lot of severe head injuries.
In West Liberty, Kentucky, a four-year-old boy was ripped from his mother's arms by a tornado as they took shelter in the cellar of their farmhouse. Davlin Jackson's body was found alongside those of his great-grandparents.
At least 12 states suffered more than 100 tornadoes. They followed a storm in which 13 people died two days earlier.
The National Weather Service reported that four of the tornadoes that hit Kentucky were the worst in 24 years.
Television news showed extraordinary scenes of damage, including homes, schools and businesses torn apart and cars and buses tossed into buildings.
Church services were held throughout the stricken region yesterday.
President Barack Obama said the federal emergency management agency was ready to help.
"The scope and magnitude of devastation in some of our communities is unlike anything I have ever seen," said Kentucky governor Steve Beshear, whose office confirmed 19 deaths.
Trucks and trees were upended as the deadly funnels ravaged parts of eight states in the Midwest and south. A school bus smashed through the wall of a house, trucks were thrown into lakes, solid brick homes were reduced to rubble and wooden ones smashed into kindling. Mobile homes were flipped like tin cans.
Amateur video aired on CNN showed a gargantuan grey twister churning over West Liberty on Friday as a woman loudly prayed: "Oh God, take it away from us Lord!"
At least 14 people were killed in Indiana.

Wales's Botanical Garden
Just a few miles east of Carmarthen one comes
across Wales' finest new bit of gardening 'kit'. It is the new 'National Garden
of Wales' and is conveniently situated about an hours drive from Cardiff.
It is set in the former 18th century regency park of Middleton Hall in
Carmarthenshire, a 568 acre estate on the edge of the beautiful Tywi valley.
In the summer of 2002, Jean and I took a look at the site, about which we had
heard mixed opinions. Some said it needed longer to mature, and there is no
doubt that as time goes on, it will continue to improve. But my opinion is:
don't wait any longer, get on down there, it is quite stunning in both
conception and execution. I took lots of photos and have only just got round to
processing them. From the moment you arrive in the unusual entrance hall to the
time you load exotic plants into your boot from the adjacent garden centre, its
a great trip. Just allow plenty of time, at least half a day. The on site
catering is also very good.
It has its own informative web site at: www.gardenofwales.org.uk
As always, clicking on each 'thumb nail'
picture will
bring up a larger image.
Jean inspecting some shrubs just by the
huge walled garden that is presently being restored.
The colour and planting schemes are just
so well thought out.
There's an interesting aside, it's an old
pharmacy full of genuine objets d'pharmaceutical.

Cheats and Walkthroughs(35)
Cheats and Walkthroughs(22)
EA Sports' Fight Night Round 4 is one of the highly anticipated sports games of 2009. Loads of G4 staffers are amped for the game and all signs point to it being a knockout. As the biggest boxing fan on the staff, as well as someone that has trained in the sport, I'm super excited for this title. My expectations are quite different from my coworkers' and I wanted to see what other hardcore boxing fans think of Fight Night. This was an excellent excuse to ping MaxBoxing.com's Gabriel Montoya. In addition to being one of my favorite boxing writers, I've spent hours mixing it up with Gabe in Doghouse Boxing's forums. He's one of the sharpest guys in the business, brilliant to talk boxing with, and an avid gamer. If you're a Fight Night fan and/or a boxing fan, you definitely want hear what Gabriel Montoya has to say.
G4: For boxing fans, how has EA's Fight Night series been a success?
Gabriel Montoya: I think for one thing, it has treated fight fans with respect. It has attempted to do for us what Madden did for football. Now while I would consider it a kid compared to Madden's adult, it really is the closest thing we have to the complete package in terms of gameplay, realism, and its rosters that ranges from prospects to hall of fame fighters. We could have easily gotten digital Rock 'em Sock 'Em Robots, but the progression from Knockout Kings to Fight Night has been a pleasure to play. One thing I think it's really gotten right is the movement. I've gotten by for years against my casual boxing fan friends who don't understand that moving left or right is a helluva lot better than moving forward or back. This ain't Double Dragon in the arcade. This is the sweet science.
G4: What are some of the things it can do better to appeal to hardcore boxing fans?
Montoya: For one, it needs to find a way that it can't be gamed unlike Rounds 2 and 3 where guys could live on haymakers. Now I love untangling a tough style, but that in-and-out, hit you only with the haymaker just didn't feel like boxing. This was a problem, particularly online.
Another thing would be to expand the career mode. As much as I was not a fan of Don King's Prizefighter's gameplay, the career mode was the bomb. I'd like to see competing promoters, shady managers, as well as all the pitfalls of getting to the top and staying there. Something I think is very attainable is a downloadable roster. Madden does online roster changes, why not do the same with Fight Night? Boxing has emerging stars all the time and it would be nice to see them after the game came out. Young fighters develop or unknowns emerge out of nowhere. The rosters should keep up with the sport. It can get old fighting the same roster while you wait for the next game to come out which leads me to my last wish. Let's get a regular schedule for the game. All the other sports games come out once a year, why not Fight Night?
G4: Clinching is an aspect of boxing that has never been accurately portrayed in a game. Do you think boxing fans want to employ hit-and-hold tactics like Ricky Hatton? Or does the potential for a John Ruiz-type hug fest make it unnecessary?
Montoya: Clinching is part of the game. I always like to see a well-rounded fighter. Without clinching you can't have it. You can't slip everything, you need to block, too. And sometimes, you need to clinch. Different styles present different challenges and so you need a diverse set of tools to deal with them. If you're as much of a Fight Night junkie as I am, you get bored after awhile once you figure out a style. While I can't stand the sight of a John Ruiz fight, I have to give him his due. His style was very hard to deal with for a lot of top guys and so you have to include it. Ignoring it is to ignore the great boxing axiom "styles makes fights" or in Ruiz' case, "styles put me to sleep."
G4: What are some aspects of boxing you'd like to see implemented or improved in future games?
Montoya: I'd also like to see different punches have different degrees of damage. If Tito Trinidad lands that vaunted left hook, it should do more damage than his jab. This would make for much deeper game planning from the gamer and it would feel more like boxing. I'd like the investment in bodywork to show more. Plus, I'd like to see individual moves come into play more. Holyfield's headfirst approach, Naseem Hamed and Vic Darchinyan's bizarre styles should be replicated. The shoulder roll of James Toney or Floyd Mayweather, Jr. would be cool, too. And this would be tough, but the Bernard Hopkins hip punch along with his patented right hand, shoulder, head butt combo move would be cool to game against. Fouling is a part of the game and while there is a nice selection, I'd like to see some more diversity in it. Some combo fouls. Maybe use the special move button for that. Each guy should have his own.
G4: Lastly, EA has started up the Ali vs. Tyson debate with the cover for Fight Night Round 4. Would you tell the G4 audience who you think would win and why?
Montoya: You know, I love me some Ali and I tend to think his intelligence, ability to adjust on the fly, and speed of foot and hand win the day BUT, Tyson in his prime was a beast. Relentless pressure, power in both hands, combinations from hell, and a solid chin, as well. The Tyson that lost to Holyfield and Douglas was not the Tyson that beat Michael Spinks. To me, that was prime Tyson. The Tyson that lost was without his original trainer, spoiled by too much of everything and Robin Givens. So let's say the Ali that beat Cleveland Williams or Ernie Terrell vs. Spinks' Tyson go at it. Early, I got Ali working from the outside but getting crowded on the ropes and pummeled to the head and body while tying up and moving Tyson back. Somewhere in the first four rounds, Ali gets dropped. Tyson tries to follow up but Ali is able to tie up and move just enough to survive. By the mid to late rounds, Ali takes over with superior conditioning and experience at fighting into the championship rounds. A couple scary moments for Ali down the stretch but ultimately his feet and moving backwards one-two get him a split decision. It looks a bit like Ali-Frazier I, but The Greatest is close enough to his prime to pull off what he couldn't with the three-year layoff.
G4: That sounds like an awesome fight! More importantly, it should shut up the G4tv.com readers that keep telling me that Tyson would win. So Peter Moore, Thomas Gerbasi, and the excellent Gabriel Montoya have all picked Ali. End of discussion!

I just read a thread in better ways to get help and thought I would make it easier by asking a specific question at a time as I get help. I don't really understand piecewise defined functions. For example:
Suppose that the function h is defined , for all real numbers, as follows.
h(x)= x if x is not equal to -3
5 if x =-3
I know I would have to plug in and solve for both, and make an x-y chart, but I don't get how to do that in this problem.. It still confuses me. I also need to know how to graph it. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Hello Chinnie15
When you sketch the graph any function of , it's up to you to decide what values of you want to include. The general answer is: any values that will show the general appearance of the graph. So in this case, the important thing is to get it right around . So choose values of from (say) to (say) .I still don't understand where I'm getting these values from.
In the way that Prove It has described.And how would I graph it?
Please reply with clarification regarding what you have done and at what point you're grinding to a halt. Thank you!
Nevermind, I get it now. I have no idea how I forgot h(x) would be a strait line cutting diagonally right through the origin. Now that I actually remember that it's much easier. So that dot in the upper left would just stay there with no line connecting it?

Outbreaks of shigellosis in England and Wales, 2004: use of phenotypic and molecular typing for strain differentiation
Abstract number: 1733_745
Cheasty T., Threlfall J.
Objectives: In the summer of 2004 a number of apparently unrelated outbreaks of Shigella sonnei infection were observed amongst patients throughout England and Wales. Infections were identified throughout the country but were concentrated in the London area, and the north-west and north-east of England. Outbreaks were in both religious communities and in homosexual men. The outbreak among homosexual men was centred in the London area but outbreaks in the religious community occurred in London, the north-west and the north-east. For meaningful epidemiological investigations in real-time discrimination within the serovar was essential. With this in mind a hierarchical approach based on phenotypic subdivision by phage typing and antibiogram, supplemented by molecular typing using plasmid profile and macrorestriction fingerprinting by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) has been adopted.
Methods: Isolates of Sh. sonnei from infections in England and Wales in 2004 have been phage typed using the scheme of Hammerstrom, Kallings and Sjoberg. Isolates have been tested for resistance to a range of antimicrobials, plasmids identified and sized following extraction of plasmid DNA according to Kado and Liu, and PFGE performed by standard protocols according to Pulse-Net USA.
Results: In all outbreaks the only resistance pattern (R-type) identified was that of ASSuSpTTm (A, ampicillin; S, streptomycin; Su, sulfonamides, Sp, spectinomycin; T, tetracyclines; Tm, trimethoprim). The outbreak among homosexual men was characterised by a new Sh. sonnei phage type (PT), designated PT Q. The isolates from this outbreak were further characterised by a distinctive plasmid-and pulsed-field profile. Isolates from outbreaks among members of a religious community were characterised by three other phage types distinct from PT Q, and by different plasmid- and PFGE profiles, indicating the presence of temporally-associated but independent incidents.
Conclusions: These results indicate that outbreaks of Sh. sonnei can be subdivided by a combination of phenotypic and molecular typing. Results can be obtained rapidly, and can be used in real-time for epidemiological investigations.

It's tough out there. It's always worthwhile to learn how to save a buck and to put in the effort to actually save that buck.
This is a reason why prepaid cell phones, such as the ones offered by Net10, may be a good thing to consider. Here's the deal: if you can save money with a prepaid plan and get similar service to what you already get, then it's probably a good choice to go with the prepaid plan.
Net10 phones seem to be a VERY good option for people who use their cell phones for the very basic things like calling and texting. Net10 phones tend not to be the right fit for people who want a sexy phone that can do everything for them including starting up their car and opening their garage doors.
I'm only half-kidding. You would be surprised by some of the things smartphones can do these days. They are like a tiny little sidekick or life partner in your pocket. That being said, Net10 phones may still be an option for you if you use over 250 minutes of talk time per month, but that is the sweet spot.
One of the cool things about Net10 phones–and this is something that will resonate greatly with people who like to get the best deals possible and those who like to save money right at the point of purchase–is that you get free talk time with any Net10 prepaid phone purchase.
Net10 phones all start with 300 minutes of talk time, which is a $30 value. So if you choose one of the phones that costs $30 or under, then you will literally be getting the phone for free. It's pretty cool.
But, as I mentioned above, Net10 is for people who aren't expecting an TON of functionality beyond a standard cell phone. If you need an epic phone that will do your laundry for you, then steer clear of Net10.
But if you're looking for a basic phone (or even an extra emergency phone for your car), then add Net10 phones to your short list. Net10 really fills a certain niche in the cell phone service business and saves a lot of people money, which is sort of the point.
There are quite a few phones in the Net10 lineup. Below are three that I have chosen out of the phones available, each one in a different price range.
The first phone is the Motorola V171. Okay, so this phone is a super basic flip phone that looks like it's from 1999, but hey, we can still party like it's 1999 even though it's 2010. This Net10 phone has a color screen, alarm clock, currency converter (like you're going to need that), and has an approximate standby time of 13 days. The phone costs only $19.99 and comes with 300 minutes of talk time that can be used over a period of 60 days.
The second phone is the Motorola W375G, which is the phone I have had for the past year and a half. It is also a very basic phone but is sort of like the missing link between the V171 and the Motorola RAZR, even though I think the W375 is better than the RAZR.
This phone will set you back $59.99, which isn't too bad. And remember, you get the $30 worth of talk time to start. This phone is a good midrange option and should do whatever you need a phone to do. I really like this model and it has given me no problems.
The third phone is the Samsung R451C, which is a higher end model than most of the other Net10 phones. The R451C has a slide-out, full QWERTY keypad, which is good for people who like to send frequent text messages, since it makes the process a whole lot easier.
This phone, which costs $79.99, also gives you access to the mobile web and has a 1.3 megapixel camera. Another added bonus with this phone is that text messages cost the special rate of 3 cents, rather than 5. It sounds like a small thing, but the savings on text messages can really add up, as anyone who has kids with cell phones can tell you.
Also, you're going to want to feast your eyes on the brand new Samsung Galaxy SII, which is definitely the best phone for Net10 that's ever been available. There are some third party phones that can be used with the Net10 sim cards that give you all the flexibility you need in order to get things rolling with your net10 prepaid phone. You can see all of these different options on the official partner page of Net10.
One of the more exciting things to happen to Net10 lately is the introduction of its first Android phones, LG Optimus Q and Optimus Net. Learn more about these phones by reading more articles on our site!

Traders trip over tech earnings
Wall Street wrapped up a volatile week with a down session Friday as conflicting news from the technology sector exacerbated investors' uncertainty about earnings. The major indexes finished the week mixed after swerving sharply session to session.
Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices posted disappointing earnings, and computer maker Dell warned its results would fall short of expectations. Microsoft, for its part, beat forecasts. The mixed news failed to clear up any of the uncertainties Wall Street faces regarding corporate earnings.
"The market's becoming very, very touchy, very news sensitive," said Hugh Johnson, chief investment officer at Johnson Illington Advisors. "If it's good news, the market goes up. If there's even some bad news, the market goes down. And it's because politics, economics and earnings are all dark clouds hanging over this market."
Oil futures hover
Panhandle crude rose nearly 2 percent, but New York Mercantile crude was steady Friday as concerns about Mideast fighting were weighed against comments from the Federal Reserve chief that surging energy prices are crimping growth.
"The energy futures all look like they've entered a period of consolidation or book squaring ahead of the weekend," Citigroup oil analyst Timothy Evans wrote.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said if oil prices rose another $10 or $15 a barrel, there would be "significant consequences" for the economy.
RadioShack loses
RadioShack said it lost $3.2 million in the second quarter as the electronics retailer posted restructuring and legal settlement costs. The loss amounted to 2 cents per share for the three months ended June 30 compared with a profit of $52.3 million, or 33 cents per share, for the same period a year ago. Revenue edged up to $1.1 billion from $1.09 billion last year.
And finally ...
THE NUMBER OF RIGS actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the United States this week rose by 15 to 1,683, most for gas. A year ago, the rig count was 1,410. Baker Hughes said Texas gained 17 rigs.
CATERPILLAR reported its strongest quarterly results in at least four decades, posting 38 percent higher profits as strong demand for its equipment in mining and highway construction helped overcome the impact of a housing slowdown.

Skip to comments.The 8 Most Wildly Irresponsible Vintage Toys
Posted on 10/19/2011 11:11:00 AM PDT by EveningStar
These days, if a stuffed animal's plastic eye so much as wiggles, that toy is recalled faster than you can say "class action lawsuit." Back in the day, though, child safety consisted of just getting out of the way and letting natural selection do its thing. If a kid was too dumb to play with a toy the right way, well, he'd just have to learn to get along with one less eye.

No lawn darts??
no "Bag O' Glass"?
Asbestos in Toys A 2007 Seattle P-I article explained that one of that years biggest-selling Christmas toys was found to contain asbestos. The CSI Fingerprint Examination Kit was found to contain traces of this carcinogen, the news source explains. According to the article, that fingerprint kit was a huge seller, meaning countless children could have been put at risk for developing an asbestos-related disease later in life.
This Chinese-made kit was just one of several other products licensed by CBS that is based on the popular CSI crime series, the Seattle P-I reports. The news source also explains that the science set had an extensive array of plastic tools, inks and three types of very fine powders -- white, black and glow-in-the-dark. After analysis, the site reports that high levels of two types of asbestos tainted the white and glow powders...
My husband still has his lead soldier making kit.....
Ahhh, I still recall the intoxicating smell of this stuff, while it was busily bubbling and cooking off...
I'm sure my ADD was just coincidental.
I have a set of lawn darts and you can have them when you pry them from my cold dead hands.
When I was a kid,
because the stupid people died.
[/old man voice]
I can't believe they didn't include the most popular boy kid toy of all...the bb gun. Kids still die from bb guns...four last year in fact. It was my favorite toy growing up.
Hey; they left out the Plumb Boys Axe, which actually wasn't a toy. I know; I cut completely through my foot with one when 9 years old. Still have the little monster - and my foot, thank God.
That product was very popular in Texas and Detroit.
is this a true stat? source??
Hey folks, I had a Gilbert Kaster deal in the early fifties.
We played Waterloo, Gettysburg and all sorts of fun stuff. We used lead pipe with a gasoline powered blowtorch plumbers pot.
No girls just dumb boy stuff.

Oh yeah!
I didn't get mine until I turned 10 years old. My parents were strict like that. ;-)
* If you're five.
It's funny looking back. As a kid I remember a couple times thinking, "How did it come to this?" Case in point. My brother and I use to set a couple train sets together (one of them was a GI Joe train). We would set army men on them; two trains going around. The original object was to shoot army men off the other guys train train with spit wads. That graduated to slingshots with the snap-pops. Then on to firecrackers. When we almost set the garage on fire with tiny makeshift flamethrowers we went back to spit wads. By then, our trainset was considerably smaller.
Back in my day (the 80s), we had toys that could take off a finger or blow up in your face. We played on rusted steel jungle gyms that could give you tetanus just by looking at them. That's the way it was and WE LIKED IT!
They even blew up underwater!
The M80 made ALL other toys a hundred times more interesting, for one instant usually.
It does seem way high considering a post earlier of 4 deaths last year attributed to BB guns.
We really had some neat toys when I was a kid. I had a couple of the Gilbert sets.
"Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball"
Remember...when you had a couple of M-80s...you *felt* like you ruled the world? *sigh*
bump for greatness
Are you my brother? [post #35] ;)
We used to cast Tiki heads and put them on a leather thong.
Really cool.
Click Clacks!!!
It seems to me the real danger with all of these toys would be a lack of parental supervision.
For example, we lost radium to the nuclear fear-mongers, and even now, tritium is a super controlled substance, allowable only in very small quantities (in my experience, so limited it doesn't actually generate enough light, when it is used for that purpose with phosphors).
Even the Europeans allow enough tritium to be useful, as there are very cool lighted key chains that use tritium, that are outlawed here (free Americans, funny, hehe, harhar).
I think what changed, was not that children became more blunt in their childhood IQ, but that parents were more interested in things that took them away from their children, even in the environs of their own homes. So bothered in fact, a lot of people just skip having any kids nowadays.
yah....go tell someone today about your leather thong and they sure won't be thinking about the same thing you are.
I build model ships for a hobby, but if I ask someone if they model they think I want to take underwear pictures of them...
So many words change meaning over time.....
...In England even the cops didn't carry guns, but, they had 50,000 deaths a year from soccer matches. Walk into a bank in London, "hand over ole' the pounds, I've got a soccer boll!!! "Shht Ian, he's serious, that's a Spalding!!!
I flew with a pilot who had a mustache. He told me that when he was a little boy, his parents gave him and his brother real bows and arrows for Christmas. They were smaller than adult versions and were made for kids. They ran outside with them and withing five minutes, he said he was running back in the house, holding the arrow that his brother shot at his face. The arrow pierced his gums right above the cupid's bow and through the skin just beneath his nose. I laughed so hard!!! He has the mustache to hide the scar!!! If you knew this guy, you would have laughed too. He was the best beer drinking, fishing buddy I have ever had.
When I think of all the things I did and walked away unscathed, I am just soooo glad that my sister and I didn't get bows and arrows, swords or flamethrowers for Christmas when we were kids. We did pillow fight though and it got pretty violent when we threw away the pillow and attacked each other.
Good times.

Ellery Builds on Branded Business
March 9, 2010-- Home Textiles Today,
Ellery Homestyles' licensed programs have been refreshed for the season.
For this market, "it's not your grandmother's Waverly," explained Chip Scala, president of the division. "We've expanded the family of looks and designs and there are tons of designs in the archives. Today's looks are now cleaner, updated versions of the archives with more youthful colors like chocolate, black, gray, deep reds, and simpler top treatments like clips and buttons."
An important addition to the Waverly mix is the Sun 'n' Shade program using Waverly's indoor/outdoor for window, decorative pillows and cushions, Scala reported. Overall, it's more well rounded and has a good, better, best mix.
For the Williamsburg license, the division is launching an updated version of the classic Parterre print in chocolate and gold as well as Charlotte, a floral with pinks and roses.
As for business in general, Ellery ceo Budd Goldman said: "I have nothing to complain about; we're continuing to develop partnerships with retailers. Product is secondary to execution and delivery and price. It's all about consumer products, not home fashions."
As for other business alliances, Goldman said, "We will do anything that is complementary to our business, but there are not many companies under $100 million out there any more."

Ghost Ants or Black Headed Ants
Ghost Ants look like tiny, white apparitions who suddenly appear and seem to disappear just as quickly. They are found both inside and outside. They may be found in kitchens and bathrooms as they are seeking moisture. The Ghost Ant is similar to the Odorous House Ant, but the Odorous House Ant is totally brown or black in color. Workers are 1/16 inch/1.5 mm in length. The legs, pedicel, gaster, and antennae are pale, almost translucent, in color, and the head and thorax are darker in color. For this reason, the Ghost Ant is also known in some areas as the Black-Headed Ant.
Reproduction and Nesting
Ghost Ant colonies tend to be moderate-to-large in size with multiple queens. New colonies are started by budding, where one or more reproductive females, several workers, and possibly some brood (larvae and pupae) migrate to a new nesting site. Their biology is similar to the Pharaoh Ant. They are very flexible and adaptable to nesting locations. Outside, they may be located under bark, bases of plant pots, under tufts of grass. Inside, they may be found in spaces between baseboards or cabinetry. There may be several sub units of Ghost Ant colonies, with multiple queens.
Diet and Distribution
Ghost Ants will commonly eat both sweets and grease/ protein sources. They readily eat honeydew, honeydew-excreting insects both alive and dead. They are a tropical ant, but can be found in greenhouses in the northern states.
Ant Trails
An excellent article by the University of Florida Extension Service can be found at Ant Trails:Baiting. It gives an overview of management with baits. They can enter homes by the foundation or from trees/plants that contact the building.
How to Get Rid of Ghost Ants
Unless you use a non-repellent spray, such as Taurus SC or FUSE Insecticide; baiting is the preferred ant control treatment. These non-repellent sprays are non-detectable by ants, so they do not avoid them as typical sprays. These sprays kill the ants by contact and by transfer. The foraging ants track the insecticide back to the nest and transfer the insecticide in the grooming process (themselves and each other).
- Taurus SC (same as Termidor SC- Fipronil 9.7 )
- Mix Taurus at 0.8 oz per gallon of water and spray a low volume spray up to 18 inches out and 18 inches up the perimeter of your home as a banded spray. Spray around windows, doors, pipes, vents, foundation, foundation cracks, drilled holes or any exterior openings where the ants may enter the home. Treat where wires (cable, telephone, electrical) enter the house.
- May be sprayed twice a year-(do not exceed twice a year)
- Taurus SC 20 oz yields 25 gallons and the 78 oz yields 100 gallons
- FUSE - ( Imidacloprid 21.4% and Fipronil 6.6%)
- Mix 0.3 to 0.6 oz per gallon of water. Spray as a low pressure spray along the foundation.
- FUSE may be applied twice or eight times a year, depending on the dosage strength and size of bands around the house.
- FUSE 7.5 oz yields 13-26 gallons, 27.5 yields 50-100 gallons
Why Ant Bait ?
- The use of residual sprays or dusts stress ant colonies, causing them to split into sub-colonies and scatter. This scattering (also called budding ), multiplies the number of ant colonies; multiplies your ant problem.
- Baiting is the most reliable way to eliminate the entire colony instead of spraying with a typical repellent residual spray. When choosing ant baits, it is best to choose from both the sugar-based baits and protein/grease-based baits.
- When you bait, use a slow-acting bait. Quick-kill insecticides and baits will only kill the foraging ants, not allowing those worker ants to take the bait back home to feed the queen, nest workers, and brood.
- If the ant bait that you are currently using is not effective (if the ants are not visiting the bait) you will need to change the baits.
- Slow-acting baits provide a variety of the foods the ants find in nature. Examples are: other insects (proteins/grease-based baits), nectar, aphid honeydew, and plant products (sugar and carbohydrates found in sweet-based baits).
- Choosing a bait requires an understanding of the nutritional needs of the colony. To be sure that you have all the baiting needs met, you may want to be ready with a sugar/carbohydrate-based bait, a grease/fat-based bait, and a protein-based bait.
- Ghost Ants tend to forage in a random pattern, so that feeding trails may be more difficult to recognize. These Ants have a high need for water and may be commonly found in or around kitchens, baths, or other moisture sources.
Recommended Ant Baits
(Sweet and Protein/Grease Feeding Cycles)
When in doubt of which one to choose, choose one from each category. We also carry baits that feed both cycles.
For the
for protein/grease feeding, 30 bait stations/bag
Sweet Feeding Cycles
Advion Ant Bait Gel- Highly attractive for Ghost Ants, seeking moisture or sweets. This bait has a delayed action kill and it exposes the entire colony to the bait. Retains its integrity over a period of time.
The powerful, slow-acting non-repellent active ingredient, thiamethoxam in Optigard Ant Gel knocks out workers, brood, and queens.

Look at me! Look at me! I'm wearing eyeshadow again.
This is like 2 weeks in a row. I'm so proud of myself. I'm just sayin'… When you go from being too lazy and not doing anything more than mascara and liner to actually doing full-blown eyeshadow looks, you have to kinda pat yourself on the back. And don't think I didn't. 😎 Today's look is brought to you by Urban Decay's Vice palette.
Yep yep. Have you gals seen this palette in person yet? O.M.G…online pictures hardly do it. If you're near a Sephora, do yourself a favor and check out this palette. You'll likely be shelling out the $60 for this baby.
Yeah, I know. It's not the world's most affordable palette but me thinks Sephora's Friends & Family sale is coming around soon and this palette should definitely be on top of your list. First, let's see what Sephora says about this palette,
"This decadent collection of shades has a mix of mattes, satins, shimmers, neutrals, and brights, offering a lot of something for everyone. This sleek purple case is beautifully minimal and classic. Press to open and the dampened hinge slowly treats you to a glimpse of the booty inside. The palette also includes a large mirror and double-ended Good Karma Shadow and Crease Brush." (source)
So wait…20 eyeshadows of various textures AND a double-ended brush? Makes that price seem a little bit better, uh? After all, this isn't just any kind of palette. This is an Urban Decay palette. Which means the shadows are going to perform impeccably. Yup. Let's work our way from the outside in.
The box that the palette comes in showcases the shadows on the back which is extremely helpful. And shout-out to Urban Decay for naming their shadows. Many brands don't feel the need to name the eyeshadows in their palettes and I find it to be crazy frustrating. And this is one sturdy palette, homies. I can't but my finger on the material that it's made out of it but it's solid and long-lasting. It feels like a rubberized finish and I love how it's smudge-proof too.
It's definitely one of the most durable palettes I've ever come across. And then when you pop it open, well, it's just pretty mind blowing. I can't even begin to put my finger on some of the best shades in this baby. Okay, I lied. I can. There's Chaos…
And Noise…
The lovely Vice.
And Penny Lane…
I love a palette with the perfect mix of bold and neutral shades and the Vice palette does this beautiful. Time for some swatches!
Desperation, Mused, Jagged, Blitz, Penny Lane
Junkie, Chaos, Occupy, Unhinged, Black Market
Provocateur, Rapture, Vice, Noise, Armor
Nevermind, Echo Beach, Anonymous, Freebird, Laced
Beautiful shades, uh? Am I in love with everyone? Nopers, but how many times have you loved EVERY shadow in a palette? The bright blue matte called Chaos is gorgeous and all but it's tough to pack on the skin. Of course a base will help it really pop. The jet black stain that is Black Market is a STUNNING black. I love sheerer colors too. Anonymous works as a stunning browbone color for me. I find that most of the shades are workable. And for this look…
I only used 3 eye shadows.
LID – Unhinged (metallic electric turquoise with shimmer finish)
CREASE – Laced (opaque pinky taupe with matte finish)
BROWBONE – Anonymous (opaque almond with matte finish)
Not too shabby, uh? That blue eye took me all of 5 minutes to do. Yessir. I'm lovin' the Vice palette. There are a tooooon of looks you can create with it. It's currently available on Sephora.com and if the $60 price tag has you a bit queasy, the holidays are rollin' around. 😉 Know what I mean?
Any lovers of this palette? How awesome is that electric turquoise?

Welcome to The Good Men Project community. We think you're going to like it here.
The Good Men Project started 6 years ago with the idea to "spark an international conversation about what it means to be a good man in the 21st century." And oh, what a spark that has been.
We have had over 6,000 contributors publish over 50,000 articles. We've had over 100 million readers from every country in the the world. And we've had Editors from around the globe, including the US, Canada, UK, Spain, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, and Laos.
We've seen the conversation grow wider and deeper, more nuanced and more provocative. We've seen people change. We've seen men become more open to to the idea of what masculinity is and how social pressures sometimes influence their choices. We've seen women become more understanding of men's experience and what they've been through. We've seen the connections between what we call the 'Man-Box' and social issues like racism, sexism and homophobia, and that has given us insights into how to help create positive social change. We've seen the perception of Dads change throughout the years and we are proud that Good Men Project has been part of that change. We are no less in awe of the potential for what we can actually accomplish here than we were on the day we launched. The fact that we have just passed 300 million total pageviews (yes, 300 million) still feels like just the beginning.
We believe you will enjoy contributing to a mission-based publication that has vast reach and high engagement. We've built an incredible community here, and people who join The Good Men Project know that they have helped build something extraordinary.
Anyone can contribute, anyone can take part in The Good Men Project in some way. But if you really want to be a deeply engaged part of our community, please consider joining our Good Men Project Premium Membership community. $5 for Bronze, $20 for Gold and $50 for Platinum all give you access to classes, social groups, calls and other ways of getting into our community that you just can't find in any other media company. Becoming a member will not guarantee an acceptance of your submission, but it will open the door to a wealth of community resources including---depending on your level---admission to our FB Writer's Group and Premium Members only discussion group, phone conversations with the publisher and a chance to meet other writers, contributors and editors, the ability to sign up for our twice-weekly Writing Prompts email, a Premium Member Commenting Badge and admission to our ongoing "Rising Stars" classes in Writing, Platform Building, Editing and Social Chang. The trainings themselves are packed with information and designed to help you succeed--whether here at The Good Men Project or at any other media company you where you contribute. And we've not just launched our new Social Interest Groups, which will give you an even deeper way into the community by being able to connect with people who share your interests and values.
Are we charging people to write for us? Absolutely not. We have tons of people published every day who aren't members. Are we charging people to be part of a community where we offer everything in our arsenal to help them to be successful with their content and the change they want to create in the world? Yes. Yes we are. And we're kind of proud of just how much we give our members.
It's a community unlike any other. And we think you're going to like it here.

Story Details
Governor Tells Feds Utah Knows Best on Healthcare Reform
Jan. 18, 2011
SALT LAKE CITY - Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert recently joined 32 other governors and governors-elect in a letter to President Obama and Congress, requesting states control healthcare policy and budgets.
"Only two years from the certification deadline and we are still waiting for clear federal guidelines," Governor Herbert explained. "One thing is clear-the federal package fails to recognize vast differences between states. Utah knows best what is best for Utah."
In the GOP governors' letter to federal officials, Utah cited the overall cost to implement the Patient Protections and Affordable Care Act Medicaid provisions, totaling $1.2 billion in state general funds over ten years. The governors requested immediate action to insure states have the flexibility to control programs and make budget decisions.
"The uncertainty of Washington's non-solutions only exacerbates Utah's budget challenge and keeps us from finding real solutions," the Governor said. "Utah was well on its way to implementing comprehensive, meaningful health system reform. But since the Affordable Care Act passed, Utah has to slog through the mire of federal confusion."
"What we need is not a one-size-fits-all federal solution that hurts states and our economies," Governor Herbert explained. "We need healthcare reform that encourages state innovation and recognizes the vital roles states play."

I talked with someone who was in the process of calling fifteen people to get their opinions on a project.
Why was any one of our opinions worth so much effort? I'm not sure, but someone had told her she should seek out as many opinions as possible before deciding what to do.
The standard line is: Listen to what other people have done and avoid making the same mistakes.
But maybe instead of just hearing about them, you need to make these mistakes yourself. Or maybe you won't actually make the mistakes in the first place—just because someone else screwed up doesn't mean you will.
Other people think because they are older than you, or because they paid a lot of money for a piece of paper you don't have, you are then obligated to listen to them. Guess what? You're not obligated.
Thankfully, there's an alternative. The alternative is: instead of going out and asking people, skip that whole process and just do what feels best to you.
I like Derek's hell-yeah test for deciding between competing opportunities. The basic idea is that when you think about the idea, if it's not a "hell yeah," don't do it. I've modified this a bit in my own life to be: if it's a "hell yeah," why not go for it?
Hell yeah, why wouldn't we invite everyone to Portland for a big adventure? Hell yeah, why not go to every country in the world? Nate is walking across America by himself—hell yeah!
When seeking advice, the first question you should ask yourself is: How is this person qualified to advise me?
For example: is this "business coach" someone who has never owned a real business, besides telling other people how to run theirs? (There are a surprising number of "business coaches" who operate in this realm.)
Does this "life coach" really have it all figured out for themselves, or is the whole thing a circular operation, built on creating more life coaches for imaginary clients?
Whoever it is, what is this person's bias? Do they want you to make a certain decision that benefits them? Are they concerned about being right or looking good?
The answers to these questions matter—which is why you can skip the whole thing by not asking in the first place.
There are very few times I have ever asked for advice on a big change or transition. Almost none.
I often ask about the details of the change: "How should I do this?" But I never ask about the vision: "Where am I going?" I already know where I'm going. It's my life; it's my plan.
I know that some people will think this is arrogant. But forget about me and just step back to look at your own life. You know yourself better than anyone else ever will. Who else could possibly be qualified to advise you on the business of you? It's your life and your plan.
So go ahead, get advice on the specifics. But leave the big picture to yourself. You are never obligated to solicit or receive feedback from anyone.
