Kenda M. Resler Friend
Indianapolis, IN | Distinguished Ag Alumni: 2012
Kenda Resler Friend is a communicator surrounded by scientists, salespeople, and engineers. In this diverse, cross-functional environment she brings the strength of building effective public relations teams and programs to improve communications with many audiences. Across her career, she has focused on efforts to reach out to corporate employees, investors, community stakeholders, and professional organizations — a skill essential now as she leads global communications efforts for Dow AgroSciences' Enlist™ Weed Control System. "This technology is coming forward to help farmers around the world address the accelerating challenge of weed resistance and hard-to-control weeds," she says. She grew up in Goshen, Indiana, the granddaughter of farmers and daughter of teachers. When, at 16, she was named the Indiana winner of a 4-H competition sponsored by Bob Evans Restaurants, she and her parents traveled to Evans' Ohio farm to pick up her prize, a registered Quarter horse weanling. During a weekend of trail rides, clinics, photo sessions, and social events with other state winners, the high school sophomore carefully observed the restaurant chain's public relations director at work. Back in Elkhart County, where Purdue connections were strong, she asked her Purdue Extension educator if Purdue offered "this thing called public relations." That simple question, a strong work ethic, and increasingly complex assignments have taken her to the top of her field. She has been with Dow AgroSciences since 2001: "This company has an amazing culture of teamwork, and everyone is so committed to the farmer who is the center of our universe." She also validates the adage, "If you want to get something done, give it to a busy person." Resler Friend is active in AgrIInstitute, an Indiana leadership development organization, and several professional groups. She remains supportive of 4-H and Purdue, and volunteers in her church and community. She and her husband Brian, a Purdue alumnus, have two future Boilermakers: "We have a second grader and a third grader, and the indoctrination process has begun — they can go to school anywhere they want in West Lafayette," she jokes.

Hazel Trexler-Campbell gears up for her 13th stint at the National Senior Games
Name: Hazel Trexler-Campbell Age: 90 Event(s): Track & Field At an age where most of her peers have eased themselves into rocking chairs, 90-year-old Hazel Trexler-Campbell of Salisbury, N.C., refuses to wind down. This summer, the lifelong sports fanatic is gearing up for her 13th National Senior Games and expects to compete in many more to come. �Lord willing, I�ll keep competing as long as I can. I�ve realized that being active is what�s important as you get older,� Hazel says. �It helps you survive.� Hazel has always recognized the benefits of being active. Growing up on a small farm with eight children, Hazel and her brothers played horseshoes on Sunday afternoons to pass the time. But it wasn�t until she joined her high school basketball team that Hazel discovered her true passion for sports. �I think I would�ve been a dropout if I hadn�t picked up basketball,� she says. �It kept me interested in school.� Seventy-some years later, Hazel�s enthusiasm for sports hasn�t faltered the slightest bit. This July, she is bringing her athletic skills to Cleveland, Ohio, for the National Senior Games, where she will compete in the discus, shot put, long jump and 100-meter dash. Although eager to win, Hazel says that she is mostly excited for the experience of traveling to a different part of the country and meeting new people. �I am competitive in a way, but it doesn�t upset me if I don�t win,� she says. �When I played basketball in high school, we got a trophy for sportsmanship and that meant more to me than getting first place. I�ve always been that way. I just enjoy playing, whether I win or lose.� Hazel�s husband, Vince, 69, will also be competing at the Games in the Men�s Singles Shuffleboard pool. The couple has made it a joint priority to stay active as they age. Every week, Hazel and Vince play mixed doubles in their local table tennis league. �I feel better after I play a good table tennis match,� Hazel says. �It gets the blood flowing.� Whether she�s tap-dancing, charging down the basketball court or throwing a discus, Hazel credits her continued athletic endeavors with keeping her alive. Sports don�t just keep her physically strong�they imbue her life with fullness. �I see a lot of women my age just sitting around all day,� the spry 90-year-old says. �There�s a reason that I am so involved in sports. It gives me something to work towards, something to look forward to. If you don�t have something interesting going on day-to-day, life can be very boring. You�ve got to find something that makes you happy.� CLICK HERE TO RETURN TO THE STORY Brought to you by: Spry - Healthy Living and Wellness for Women

I haven't used the one that I purchased yet, but I've used these in the past and they work great.
Twin Air Air Filter

even with proper cleaning materials, the durability
could be better.
I have been using Twin Air products for years. They fit great, and hold well to all the cleaning required for maintaining a MX bike. I always keep a spare oiled up in a plastic bag ready to go. When I wash the bikes I use the wash box covers to get everything cleaned up, then install the fresh filter so it's ready to go.
installs easy. easy to clean. had others that the glue that holds the different foam around the rim would come apart. this ones seems to bond well with no issues.
all I've run is twinair filters for my husqvarna 350. they are affordable and easy to clean if you use their 3 step cleaner
First of all, Motosport.com gets it right with what they sell, not like Amazon which may list one thing and send you something for a different bike. As for this filter, it cleans up better than any other filter I've used, it feels more durable, and if installed properly you can be sure it will not leak dirt and dust into your engine. I replace my filter after every day of riding.
The only filter I have ever used. The price is right and they last forever.
Cant go wrong with twin air.
A good lung source for dirt bike to keep unwanted grit out of engine and have high performance.
The best air filter out there. I have been using Twin Air since 1999 and they work great. They keep the dirt out with high quality air filter oil. They last a long time with the proper care. I would not buy any other. I have used them on three different KTM's, GAS GAS, and HONDA.
By far a great filter. Performs as intended, use on all my bikes and have been for years. I'm old school and still use old waste gas and soapy water to clean filters. These hold up very well in that abuse. I get about 2 years of rotation between my 2 filters per bike. That is a bunch of use.
perfect fit and a excellent product!
Twin air is a top of the line filter n works great
Great filter.
It's an air cleaner folks. It does exactly what it's name implies. Twin air makes a durable long lasting reusable filter and Motorsport delivers quickly.
Fits perfectly and is an easy clean and Re oil. Love it
Only about 5 rides on filter but so far has held up great
Only airfilter I will run on my bike!
I have used other filters, but nothing I've tried has been as good as Twin Air filters.
Good fit and form. Works well. 2007 KTM 300XC.
To replace it, you could cut up an old air filter or get some skid plate foam if you want to replace what you have.

U.P. man arraigned for bomb possession
MENOMINEE – A Menominee man was officially charged Monday in connection with explosive devices found in his apartment last weekend.
Thomas Lee Bebo, 51, of 3625 10th St., Apt. 82, Menominee, was charged with possession of bombs with unlawful intent, a 15-year felony, during his arraignment in Menominee County District Court. He remains lodged in the county jail in lieu of a $50,000 cash bond.
According to Menominee City Police Chief Brett Botbyl, a neighbor alerted police to the possibility of bombs in Bebo's apartment to be used to threaten the suspect's ex-wife. During a police search, five explosive devices were found in his apartment on Friday night.
Tenants in the apartment complex were notified of the bomb search but an evacuation was not ordered, said Botbyl this morning.
"There was no immediate threat to residents," he explained.
A bomb-detonating squad later set off one of the bombs in a local gravel pit. The other four bombs were defused and turned over to the police department for evidence, said Botbyl.
Bebo is scheduled to appear for a preliminary examination in district court at 1 p.m. on May 9, said a court official.

Enjoy the benefits of yoga�anytime, anywhere�with these top chair yoga poses.
Here�s some good news: Building strength doesn�t require a trip to the gym�or even a trip down to the floor. Instead, get strong and flexible with these five easy-to-learn yoga poses that can be done with just a chair. But don�t be fooled by their simplicity: �These yoga poses are powerful,� says Sadie Nardini, host of �Rock Your Yoga� on Veria Living TV and creator of this chair yoga routine. �As you hold each one of these yoga poses, feel like you�re really working to maintain the quality, and be sure to breathe slowly and deeply through your nose.�
Go through the sequence 1 to 5 times. Can�t find the time to do them all at once? Try these yoga poses at your desk or while watching your favorite show. Do one every time you get up to visit the copier or the restroom, or whenever a commercial comes on. Make it a habit and before you know it, your whole body will start to feel stronger and more flexible.
�RELATED: The Spry Yoga Bible
1. Chair Dog
What it does: Tones your arms, shoulders and chest while stretching your back and legs to help relieve lower-back tension.
How to do it: Stand facing your chair. Bend your knees and place your hands on the seat of the chair, spreading your fingers wide. Press into the outsides of your hands and your fingertips as you walk your feet back so your upper body forms a straight diagonal line (as shown). Draw your front ribs and low belly in, and bring your shoulders down away from your ears as you stretch through the back of your body. Hold for 5 to 10 breaths, then walk your feet back in.
2. Chair Pose
What it does: Strengthens your legs, buttocks, back and arms.
How to do it: Sit in your chair and bring your feet together; squeeze your knees together. Raise your arms overhead (choose an angle that doesn�t cause your shoulders to tense). Push into your feet, drawing your low belly in and up as you lift your buttocks a few inches off the seat (as shown). Hold for 5 breaths, and lower back down. Repeat 3 times.
3. Twisted Chair
What it does: Improves circulation and digestion while strengthening your side ab muscles.
How to do it: Once again, sit in your chair and bring your feet together, squeezing your knees; press your palms together at the center of your chest. Twist your upper body to the left, bringing either your right hand or elbow to the outside of your left knee (as shown). Roll your left shoulder behind you and look down, to the side, or up (wherever is most comfortable) while breathing into your belly. Hold for 5 breaths, then return to sitting and fold over your legs to stretch your back. Repeat the pose on the other side.
4. Crossed Boat Pose
What it does: Targets your ab muscles, building deep core strength and stability along your spine.
How to do it: Sit on your chair and cross one ankle over the other; hold onto the armrests or sides of the seat. Lift your knees up toward your chest (as shown) as you draw your belly and low back in and up. Hold for 5 breaths, then slowly lower your feet to the floor, keeping your spine and abs engaged. Repeat the pose 5-10 times.
5. Rag Doll
What it does: Increase flexibility by releasing muscles in your legs, hips and back.
How to do it: Sit on your chair with feet hip-distance apart. Engage your ab muscles and lift your buttocks off the seat. Make fists and place them into opposite elbow creases, triggering your body to relax the muscles along your back and spine. Fold over your bent legs and breathe. Slowly begin to straighten your legs (as shown), stopping when you feel a lengthening in the back muscles of your legs. Stay in this pose for 1 minute or more.

Every time summer comes to town, I start humming that popular Ella Fitzgerald song "Summertime and the living is easy…" Even though in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo we have a fantastic warm weather all year long, and every day looks like a vacations, summer is still summer… It's the time of vacations when I go to visit my friends and family, and when they come to visiting me in Ixtapa, and the time everything just feels a little bit more relaxed.
July temperatures in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo average around 90 F, which make it a perfect excuse to spend most of my free time in the ocean or at the pool. During my days off work I love visiting our local beaches, and I have recently discovered my new favorite summer activity – kayaking. I love kayaking solo, but kayaking in tandem is so much fun as well!
And while you can kayak in many of our Ixtapa Zihuatanejo beaches, my favorite spot for kayaking is at the lagoon at Barra de Potosí, a large salt water lagoon located about half an hour south of Zihuatanejo. Here you can hire a guided tour, or kayak on your own. The flora and fauna at the lagoon is amazing, you can admire unique aquatic birds, and paddle gently among beautiful tropical mangroves. Don't forget your waterproof camera, binoculars, sunscreen and a hat.
After the kayaking tour we love to enjoy fresh seafood at some of the beachfront restaurants at Barra de Potosí, and sip cold cocktails while relaxing in the hammock. Barra de Potosí is a small fishing village with around 150 families, who all live work in the fishing industry- therefore you can be certain that the fish you will be enjoying is as fresh as it gets. I love listening to the stories of fishermen, and it is probably just one reason more that makes me come for a kayaking tour to this pristine little village so often.
My second favorite kayaking spot is at Ixtapa Island. I visit it when I don't have a lot of time for my kayaking excursion. It is a perfect place for kayaking, snorkeling, swimming, or just enjoying a relaxing beach day.
For more information about kayaking in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo and for organized tours, please contact your Capella Ixtapa Personal Assistant here.

A market rumour claims that AMD's graphics business unit will delay the release of the highly-anticipated next-generation Radeon HD 6000-series by several weeks from the originally set schedule in the second half of October, 2010.
Apparently, AMD Radeon HD 6000-series graphics cards, the first graphics card to carry AMD brand instead of ATI, will only be released sometimes in November, a news-story at DigiTimes web-site claims. The reason for the delay is not exactly named, but the general suggestion is that AMD's graphics business unit wants to supply enough cards to the channel in ahead of launch.
Not a lot is known about the code-named Northern Islands family of products. The new family of graphics processing units will offer higher performance compared to currently available ATI Radeon HD 5000 "Evergreen" line as well as new universal video decoder 3.0, but will hardly be considerably more advanced in terms of feature-set. It is rumoured that designers of the new GPUs concentrated mostly on improving efficiency, but not on building something completely new from scratch, which is why certain building blocks of the new family will be inherited from the current Evergreen line.
ATI division of AMD did not comment on the news-story.

Proposed Rules Regulating Sustained Casing Pressures in Development Wells Within the Badami Field.
|Conservation Order No. 500
Badami Field: Badami Oil Pool
October 16, 2003
1. On its own motion, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("Commission" or "AOGCC") proposed to adopt rules regulating sustained annulus pressures in Badami Field development wells.
2. Notice of opportunity for a public hearing on the proposal was published in the Anchorage Daily News on September 11, 2003.
3. No request for a hearing was received.
4. Written comments on the proposal were received from the Badami Field operator, BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. ("BPXA").
1. In considering proposed rules regulating sustained casing pressures in Badami Field development wells, the Commission reviewed: the annular pressure management policies submitted by the operator, BPXA; Applied Drilling Engineering by Bourgoyne, et al.; the Halliburton Cementing Tables; the Commission well files for the wells on BPXA's "A-B3" status list and on BPXA's waived well list; an annular pressure simulator developed by the Commission staff as contained in an MS Excel spreadsheet; information on well pressures provided by the operator; the hearing record in connection with Conservation Order No. 492; and written comments by BPXA in response to the September 11, 2003 notice of opportunity for public hearing.
2. Annulus pressure is common in development wells. Pressures may be purposely imposed, thermally induced or the result of leaks in tubing, casing, packer or other well components.
3. Excessive annular pressure can develop in wells as a result of thermal effects. Well startup can involve significant annular pressure increases due to fluid expansion as a well heats above ambient temperature. Changing produced fluid characteristics and production mechanisms can also create thermal conditions that affect annular pressures.
4. For service (injection) wells, AOGCC regulations require, unless superseded by a Commission order, an operator to notify the Commission by the next working day if an injection rate, operating pressure observation, or pressure test indicates pressure communication or leakage in any casing, tubing, or packer. The operator must implement corrective action or increased surveillance, as the Commission requires (20 AAC 25.252(e) and 20 AAC 25.402(f)).
5. Unless specifically authorized by the Commission, AOGCC regulations require all producing wells capable of unassisted flow to be completed with suitable tubing and packer that effectively isolates the tubing-casing annulus from fluids being produced. Wellhead equipment must include appropriate gauges and valves on the tubing, casing-tubing annulus and casing-casing annuli to show surface pressures and control flow for the range of conditions expected (20 AAC 25.200(c) and (d)).
6. No current AOGCC regulation or Commission order for the Badami Field establishes annular pressure management requirements for producing wells, similar to those for injection wells. However, Conservation Order No. 492 establishes such requirements for producing wells in the Prudhoe Bay Field.
7. Several practicable techniques are available to manage annular pressures including manual pressure bleeding and engineered solutions such as pressure controls and pressure relief systems.
8. Values of "burst pressure rating" and "minimum internal yield pressure" of well tubulars are numerically equal.
9. Pertinent characteristics of well construction in the Badami Field are similar to those in the Prudhoe Bay Field.
10. Pressure in an active Badami Field well not exceeding 45% of the burst pressure rating, or minimum internal yield pressure, of well tubulars is within the range of pressure that will not result in failure of well integrity, uncontrolled release of fluid or pressure, or threat to human safety.
11. The operator relies on a well pressure limit waiver process to continue operating Badami Field wells that exhibit inner annulus pressure exceeding 2000 psig with two pressure bleeds per week, or outer annulus pressure exceeding 1000 psig with two pressure bleeds per week.
1. There is a need for regulatory oversight of the management of Badami Field wells that exceed specific pressure thresholds, by administering rules regulating annular pressures. This methodology is consistent with similarly intended efforts by other regulatory agencies.
2. The objectives of rules regulating sustained annular pressures in Badami Field development wells are to conserve Alaska petroleum resources and protect human safety and the environment, through proper management of annular pressures. Proper annular pressure management aims to prevent failure of well integrity, uncontrolled release of fluid or pressure, or threat to human safety.
3. Badami Field annular pressure rules should recognize the variety of well completions and development well characteristics in the Badami Field.
4. Well heating-induced annular pressure increases must be taken into account before initiating well start-up, to ensure that annular pressures at well operating temperature will not result in failure of well integrity, uncontrolled release of fluid or pressure, or threat to human safety.
5. The annular pressure rules adopted in this order are practicable and appropriate to the objectives stated in Conclusion 2.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: that Conservation Order No. 402 is amended to add the following rules:
1. The operator shall conduct and document a pressure test of tubulars and completion equipment in each development well at the time of installation or replacement that is sufficient to demonstrate that planned well operations will not result in failure of well integrity, uncontrolled release of fluid or pressure, or threat to human safety.
2. The operator shall monitor each development well daily to check for sustained pressure, except if prevented by extreme weather conditions, emergency situations, or similar unavoidable circumstances. Monitoring results shall be made available for AOGCC inspection.
3. The operator shall notify the AOGCC within three working days after the operator identifies a well as having (a) sustained inner annulus pressure that exceeds 2000 psig or (b) sustained outer annulus pressure that exceeds 1000 psig.
4. The AOGCC may require the operator to submit in an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form 10-403) a proposal for corrective action or increased surveillance for any development well having sustained pressure that exceeds a limit set out in paragraph 3 of this rule. The AOGCC may approve the operator's proposal or may require other corrective action or surveillance. The AOGCC may require that corrective action be verified by mechanical integrity testing or other AOGCC approved diagnostic tests. The operator shall give AOGCC sufficient notice of the testing schedule to allow AOGCC to witness the tests.
5. If the operator identifies sustained pressure in the inner annulus of a development well that exceeds 45% of the burst pressure rating of the well's production casing for inner annulus pressure, or sustained pressure in the outer annulus that exceeds 45% of the burst pressure rating of the well's surface casing for outer annulus pressure, the operator shall notify the AOGCC within three working days and take corrective action. Unless well conditions require the operator to take emergency corrective action before AOGCC approval can be obtained, the operator shall submit in an Application for Sundry Approvals (Form 10-403) a proposal for corrective action. The AOGCC may approve the operator's proposal or may require other corrective action. The AOGCC may also require that corrective action be verified by mechanical integrity testing or other AOGCC approved diagnostic tests. The operator shall give AOGCC sufficient notice of the testing schedule to allow AOGCC to witness the tests.
6. Except as otherwise approved by the AOGCC under paragraph 4 or 5 of these rules, before a shut-in well is placed in service, any annulus pressure must be relieved to a sufficient degree (a) that the inner annulus pressure at operating temperature will be below 2000 psig and (b) that the outer annulus pressure at operating temperature will be below 1000 psig. However, a well that is subject to paragraph 3, but not paragraph 5, of these rules may reach an annulus pressure at operating temperature that is described in the operator's notification to the AOGCC under paragraph 3, unless the AOGCC prescribes a different limit.
7. For purposes of these rules,
"inner annulus" means the space in a well between tubing and production casing;
"outer annulus" means the space in a well between production casing and surface casing;
"sustained pressure" means pressure that (a) is measurable at the casing head of an annulus, (b) is not caused solely by temperature fluctuations, and (c) is not pressure that has been applied intentionally.

"Hello everyone, i'mGianni, the leader of the boys !
Years ago I decided to start an adventure : to have the only hotel in Senigallia that would house only families with children. It ' was a gamble , there were so many things to change , but my belief was that if we focused on the needs of children and their parents, we made an impossible mission : make sure that a holiday with 3 children, about 2, 5 or 8 years old, was not tiring as a month's work!
The structure certainly had what was needed : it is overlooking the sea, in the sense that the hotel's beach is 20 little steps from the front door (children like to count them!). The sand of Senigallia is famous for its finesse and is the ideal playground for a child. Even the sea is perfect, the beach is shallow and slopes gently , I myself remember the days that I spent as a child playing in the water !
No use other than to start listening to you .... pay attention to every your little need , and come up with some tricks to make your life easier! The first that came to mind ? The Crem & Caramel : the nanny smear sunscreen to children... and give him a piece of candy ! It may seem like a small thing, but I have not seen a baby cry anymore to put the sunscreen! "
Thus was born the Bo Bear's Hotel.
The only family hotel in the Marche where adults come only if accompanied by children!"
Hotel Bologna *** Lungomare Mameli, 57 - 60019 Senigallia (AN)

Internship Benefits Go Beyond Professional Experience
Below is a first person account from Dean's Intern Emily Good on her internship at National Geographic.
During my second week of interning at National Geographic, I had the opportunity to hear Cory Richards speak. An editorial, expedition, and cultural photographer, Richards was a National Geographic 2012 Adventurer of the Year for becoming the first American to successfully summit an 8,000-meter peak in winter. Listening to Richards, I was not only inspired but in awe that viewing his photographs and film from a recent expedition to Antarctica was just another typical day at work.
As a Dean's Intern at National Geographic, this is just one of many unique opportunities I am offered daily. I have laid out 16,407 shoes with NG Kids to set a Guinness World Record for the largest collection of recycled shoes (Taylor Swift's included), assisted with gathering content for the new photography exhibit at NG Museum, "Beyond the Story: National Geographic Unpublished," and worked a press event for the opening of the "Real Pirates" exhibit at NG Museum.
While these opportunities have opened my eyes to the different kinds of work at National Geographic and taught me invaluable on-the-job skills, it is my co-workers and assignments within the Communications Department that have provided me with the most experience thus far.
Utilizing what has been taught in my SOC courses at American University, I have been required to assist with media research and lists, press mailings, brainstorming promotional and press materials, and internal events hosted by National Geographic. My supervisors never fail to keep me updated on ongoing projects and discussions in the department, and the department is comprised of hard workers who are more than willing to share their experiences both inside and outside the field.
I hit it off with the one other intern in my department, a senior at University of Maryland, on day one. Discovering our mutual acquaintances and similar ambitions, she has played an integral part in my internship at National Geographic and has become the best lunch buddy I've had to date.
I began my internship by reading a packet of letters written by previous interns to the. They reassured me that I would eventually find my groove with the office dress code after most likely being overdressed for my first day, and told me whom in the department I needed to befriend and ask to lunch. Toward the end of my internship, I will write my own letter to the next generation of interns and detail all of the amazing opportunities they have to look forward to at National Geographic.
This internship has been unlike any other, and I know I will never look at the "yellow border" that signifies National Geographic in the same way.

"LOVE these thank you note cards. Great complement to the modern initials set. Simple, chic and modern. Great paper and print quality plus the fact you can customize the color is a huge bonus!"
"We love these cards- they're a perfect compromise between feminine and masculine designs, so we are both happy using them for joint notes. I was also thrilled that all the text was editable, and that we had so many font options! I don't love the Wedding*Paper divas company text on the back of the cards, but for such a great price, we'll deal with it! It would, however, be nice to know that it will be printed there (it was a total surprise to see on my first order)."

Windsor Hotel
Located in the heart of Cairo's shopping, business and theater districts, the hotel is within walking distance of some of the city's most celebrated attractions. The Egyptian Museum, Opera Square, Khan Khalili Bazaar, Abdine Palace, the River Nile and the Main Rail way station are just steps away and the Cairo Metro (subway) is easily accessible for points further afar.
The Windsor Hotel is an oasis of tranquillity amid the bustle of downtown Cairo. The Windsor is also a venerable Cairo institution and boasts a rich history and warm hospitality.
Built at the turn of the century as the baths of the Egyptian royal family, the Windsor served for many years as a colonial British officers club before being purchased by a Swiss hotelier as an annex of the legendary Shepherds Hotel and converted into the 'Hotel Windsor-Maison Suisse.' Today, the Windsor's guestrooms retain an ambiance of faded grandeur and the hotel's famous Barrel Bar remains a popular Cairo rendezvous.
More recently, the Hotel has been featured in a number of Egyptian and Hollywood films.

Since the inclusion of religious schools in 1998, Milwaukee's voucher program has grown and continues to grow. And the voucher surcharge is the fastest-growing aspect of that program. Over the course of the 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 school years, the number of voucher schools receiving tuition overpayments increased, as did the size of those overpayments. Per-pupil overpayments grew by $172 and the overall surcharge increased by $4.9 million. In total, the percentage of total program funds going to these overpayments has also grown.
Due to this surcharge, over a two-year period nearly $28 million was used to pay private and religious schools over and above what private citizens or foundations would pay for the same services.40 This surcharge represents 46 percent of the entire cost of the voucher program during that period. The overall cost of the voucher program is estimated to have further increased to $49 million in 2000-2001 and $59.4 million in the current year, 2001-2002. Without a change in the voucher law's funding formula, the surcharge paid to religious and other voucher schools will continue to grow right along with it.
Even in the relative economic prosperity of the late 1990s, there was no justification for this voucher surcharge. Whether for reducing class sizes, strengthening professional development for teachers, or designing programs for at-risk students, public schools can find good use for every available tax dollar. Why should the people of Wisconsin pay an inflated amount to private and religious schools while public schools lack the resources they need?
Now, as Wisconsin endures tough economic times and legislators face many painful decisions, there can be no justification for this wasteful, multi-million dollar surcharge. This surcharge is caused by the unique payment formula written into the law. Now it's time for state officials to correct this situation by revising the formula so that voucher schools are no longer paid a per-pupil amount in excess of their tuition. There is simply no reason why Wisconsin taxpayers should be overcharged and pay more than private citizens for private school vouchers under this controversial program.

Good Earth Guide points way to organic, ecological farm products
The Columbus Dispatch - May 31, 2013 05:32 PM
Looking for a local source of organic strawberries or grass-fed beef? Take a look at the latest Good Earth Guide to Organic and Ecological Farms, Gardens and Related Businesses.
The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) has published the guide every year for more than two decades to connect consumers with local farms and businesses to support their communities and sustainably-produced products.
These days, the directory is published online and can be searched for locally grown vegetables; fruits; herbs; honey; maple syrup; dairy products; grass-fed beef, pork, and lamb; free-range chicken and eggs; fiber; flour and grains; cut flowers; plants; hay and straw; seed and feed, and other local farm products.
Each listing includes name and contact information, products sold, a farm or business description, and whether the farm or business is certified organic. Many listings also include locations and maps for where the farm or business products are sold.
"Since the first Good Earth Guide in 1990, it's grown from a list of a dozen or so to more than 400 farms and businesses, reflecting the tremendous growth in locally-sourced and sustainably-produced foods, fibers, products, and services," said OEFFA Program Director Renee Hunt.

Stamford Advocate, June 16, 2012
Stamford Advocate, June 16, 2012: UNH professor John DeCarlo says videotaping police officers has become a hot topic, one that's being addressed by law enforcement officials nationwide. "It's a brand new, emergent issue in policing that is creating situations that we don't have rules for yet," he says. Recently a woman using her cellphone to film an arrest outside a New Haven nightclub was charged with interfering with a police officer.

Weekend full of surprises still a good weekend
So, I'm lying in bed and start to roll over when a cramp grabs my right leg and won't let go.
Trying to get out of bed without bending my right leg, I anchor my left heel to the side of the mattress and start to sit up. A cramp grabs that leg and holds on.
By now I want to scream, but I can't scream because it's midnight and I'm in the guest bedroom of my sister's home in Springfield, Ill., and the scream I wanted to rip would have shaken the house. So I clenched my jaw to stop the scream and my chin cramped. I wanted to upchuck but I couldn't open my mouth.
I must have looked like a cartoon, finally out of bed and hunched over, trying to rub my hamstrings with my hands and rub my chin on my chest. I didn't even know I had hamstrings. Thought only football players had hamstrings to cramp.
Now I know better.
If I hadn't had so much fun down there, that 15 minutes of torture would have ruined the week.
My sister Barbara turned 60 on Aug. 23 and retired from teaching the same day. The school knew at the end of last year she would retire, so the few days she had to work this year were doing things to help get the year started, like collecting forms and printing copies. On her last day, however, she subbed in a sixth-grade classroom.
Poetic, in a way, since she started her teaching career in a sixth-grade classroom.
Our sister Cindy and her husband Dwight surprised us by coming down for the party Barbara threw. Neither of us had expected them to be there, but Cindy wanted to play, too. And play we did. Even the work was play. Well, the work was baking, and I call it play because Cindy was there to take charge while Barbara taught her last lessons. I tried to help, but we all know what kind of help I'm not in the kitchen.
I wasn't much help, either, setting up the tables for the party and putting the food out. And now that I've said that aloud, I realize they could have done just as much without me. What a horrible thought. A person wants to be helpful when help is needed, for heaven sake.
Oh well. It's over, and I didn't hurt anything. Better than not making a problem, I shot pictures. Everybody needs pictures of a retirement birthday party.
On the morning of the sixth day, I leave for home, after a full night's sleep. Remember, I'm on a normal-person schedule these days. But it was morning, and I do so hate morning. Wasn't half an hour out of Springfield when I had to pull over for a quick nap. Tucked myself on a country road between corn fields and closed my eyes. Because I planned to rest for just a few minutes, I didn't even turn off the van's motor. When I woke an hour later, it still hummed.
So much for that gas.
So long friends, until the next time when we're together.

Groupon: A Train Wreck in Public Sight (Update 1)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The daily deals category as we knew it is dead, and Groupon's (GRPN) acknowledgement of this may cost CEO Andrew Mason his job.
The Chicago-based online commerce company reported fourth quarter results yesterday that were much worse than Wall Street expected, with the company in the midst of a business model pivot. Groupon is moving from the once-lucrative model of daily deals into more direct e-commerce sales, bringing it into competition with powerhouses Amazon (AMZN) and, to a lesser extent, eBay (EBAY) .
So far, the shift in model looks like a train wreck, with Groupon's operating and free cash flows plunging year over year. Operating cash flows fell 61% year-over-year to $65.7 million, compared to $169.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The decline in free cash flow was even worse, plunging 83% year-over-year to $25.7 million. Despite the sharp drops, Groupon still had $1.2 billion in net cash and cash equivalents at the end of 2012.
Wells Fargo analyst Jason Maynard is a Groupon skeptic. "
Daily deals once excited Wall Street because of their high margins, but low barriers to entry invited a raft of competition from related businesses, which forced a re-rating of Groupon and the industry as a whole. Consumer reviews site Yelp (YELP) and restaurant reservation service Open Table (OPEN) were among those who jumped in, most to little success. The effect on valuations has already forced Amazon to take a write down on its investment in Groupon rival Living Social .
Mason, 33, has been at the helm of Groupon since founding the company in 2008, but with the company in transition he may no longer be the right man for the job.
Hudson Square Research analyst Dan Ernst suggested a change by the board away from Mason could be positive for the company. "Our view might be more negative except that A) it appears the new COO has near term plans to significantly cut costs overseas, and B) the magnitude of current issues could prompt the board to make changes, that would likely serve as a positive catalyst for the stock."
It's a long way from the $6 billion price Google (GOOG) was reportedly willing to pay for Groupon at the height of its popularity.
A good portion of Groupon's fallacies are a direct result of the company itself, noted Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. "Since IPO, the Groupon story has largely been a comedy of errors, drawing into question the viability of the daily deal space," Munster wrote in the note. "Our belief is that while the company has done a poor job of articulating fluctuations in the business model, operating in daily deals and the broader local space is a viable business."

1st Graders Beautiful ConcertPosted Tuesday, February 28, 2012, at 12:59 PM
I don't need to say a lot here, but I do have something to say.
Tim Corder came and spoke to the kids about Martin Luther King's Dream. I loved what he had to say. I know not all of you are fans, but I am, for several reasons. One big reason, is that he's a family man, and is truly dedicated to that family, and the children. And really, CHILDREN are what it's all about. They are our future.
After he spoke, they sang a song thanking GOD. They raised their little arms and hands.... and I'm not afraid to say, I got choked up!
It was beautiful, and I am proud to say I had two 1st Grade Grand Children there. It was awesome
Jilly is the little blonde looking at me, with a huge smile on her face!
Austin is in the very left of the photo, with checkered shirt.
They love this teacher!
Tim Corder
They are singing about Thanking GOD for their Freedom. Let's all remember that these are our future.
let's all thank GOD for our Freedoms, and work on keeping it

My three year old grandson just "took" Grandma upstairs to her room to show her where her bed was, so "they" could take a nap.
He's just coming off a bout with chicken pox and seems to have a six year molar trying to break through this week.
BTW, neither take naps.
Great pictures as always, Jessie.

First let me say children's safety should always come first and I understand completely why you don't mention school. I remember the days when school doors weren't locked.
looking at the children in your pictures makes me wonder what some face when they leave school...

I bought my girlfriend some pink pants to convince her to go paintballing with me and we went out for one game and she was not a fan. So today I have up some Valken Tron Pink pants.
They have no signs of wear because she wore them for one game and 10 minutes while we shot our 2 cases of paint in the chrono range because she didn't like it. Thanks for looking

Topic: Passing parameters through a view....
Im trying to pass a parameter from a link, through a view, and back to a controller.
(Client - show.rhtml)
link_to 'New', { :controller => 'note', :action => 'new', :clientid => @client }
(Note - new.rhtml)
Form for note data lives here
(Note - note_controller.rb)
def create
@note = Note.new(params[:note])
@note.created_on = Time.now
... etc
The only way I have been able to make this work is with a hidden form field. So in the note new.rhtml file, I have <%= hidden_field 'note', 'customer_id' %> which gets filled in in the new method.
Is there a way to pass parameters directly through the form/view and to the resulting controller method, or is this the only way to do it?

Uniqlo | Unique Container Concept
Posted By G Living Staff Monkies On March 5, 2009 @ 11:00 pm In Architecture / Interior Design | 1 Comment
In business, location is everything. But who says you can't be in business before you find a location (or in this case, before your location is ready)? If you're Uniqlo, you hire innovative designers LOT-EK to create some temporary venues and jump right in. And if the concept is cool enough, you'll generate enough free publicity to get your product noticed.
Pretty smart, right? Last year, as they waited for the completion of their swank 36,000 square foot SoHo flagship store, Uniqlo (the Japanese equivalent of H&M) dropped several modified shipping containers around New York City and opened for business.
Functioning somewhere between the style of a summer street fair (common in the city) and a fully operating retail venue, the container stores were located in nine choice New York neighborhoods, including the West Village, Jones Beach, Cobble Hill Brooklyn, Coney Island. Each had vertical strip windows cut into the exterior and was powered by an external generator. The door and ramp opened and closed via hydraulic struts and the insides were lined inside with laminated cubes for shelves.
Including merchandise and the necessary IT equipment, the 20' x 8' x 8' LOT-EK container weighed approximately 15,000 pounds.
So, why am I writing about this a year after the fact? Because cool concepts never go out of style.

Coborn Plaza
Wednesday, January 13, 2010
East facade of Coborn Plaza, a pair of four-story buildings that will house student apartments, a St. Cloud State welcome center and 19,000 square feet of retail.
St. Cloud State University President Earl Potter III today announced that the new student housing, retail space and university welcome center under construction on the site of the former Coborn's grocery store on Fifth Avenue South downtown, will be named Coborn Plaza in recognition of the family's long-time dedication to community improvement.
"There are few in St. Cloud who can match the Coborn family's commitment and generosity to St. Cloud and surrounding communities," said Potter. "We are pleased to name this innovative new structure as a permanent means of recognizing the Coborn family's extraordinary dedication to community stewardship."
Coborn Plaza consists of two, four-story buildings of high quality apartments for up to 455 students, 19,000 square feet of retail space and a 12,000-square-foot St. Cloud State Welcome Center. The buildings represent the first phase of the $100 million "Fifth Avenue Live!" redevelopment of the Fifth Avenue corridor between St. Cloud State and downtown.
"We are deeply honored to have this outstanding new set of facilities named for our family," said Coborn's President and CEO, Chris Coborn. "We are confident the entire 5th Avenue Live redevelopment will be a positive catalyst for neighborhood renewal and downtown revitalization."
Coborn Plaza and Fifth Avenue Live! stem from the efforts of Fifth Avenue LLC, a partnership including the Coborn family, Cornerstone Construction of St. Cloud, and local attorney and St. Cloud State alumnus, Brian Schoenborn.
Minneapolis-based Dunbar Development Corporation is managing construction of Coborn Plaza. Dunbar has built student apartments with the non-profit J.A. Wedum Foundation at the University of Minnesota, and with the Winona State University Foundation at Winona State.
The J.A. Wedum Foundation will lease the welcome center space and student apartments to the University. The Minneapolis-based non-profit foundation was founded 50 years ago in Alexandria, Minn. and has helped develop senior and student housing in Buffalo, Rochester, Minneapolis, Fridley and Mankato. St. Cloud State's Residential Life staff will manage the student-housing portion of Coborn Plaza.
St. Cloud-based and employee-owned Coborn's Inc. has served central Minnesota for 89 years, and is recognized for its outstanding commitment to the communities it serves. The company annually donates more than $2.3 million and thousands of volunteer hours for local organizations and non-profit agencies. In 2008, the Coborn family donated $2 million to St. Cloud Hospital to fund expansion and enhancement of a cancer center that now bears their name. The Coborn Cancer Center is central Minnesota's first specialty center dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

E-Mail: email@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 24, 2011) – USA Volleyball has announced that it will host its final 2011 FIVB World League Intercontinental Round (pool play) matches at the Walter Pyramid in Long Beach, Calif.
The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team, the reigning Olympic champion and ranked fifth in the world, will face 16th-ranked Puerto Rico on July 1-2 at the Pyramid, which is the home gym of the Long Beach State University's volleyball and basketball teams.
Tickets for the Long Beach World League matches are on sale now and available by visiting the Long Beach State athletics web site, by calling the ticket office at 562-985-4949 or by visiting the box office (open 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday-Friday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. starting June 6; the address is 1250 Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach, Calif.).
General admission tickets will be $15 each while reserved will be $20. General admission tickets are discounted for groups of 20 or more, USA Volleyball and military members, seniors (60-plus) and youth (4-14). Children under 4 are free.
As previously announced, the U.S. Men will play world No. 10 Poland on June 17-18 at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill. The following weekend, it will play twice against No. 1 Brazil on June 24-25 at the Reynolds Center at the University of Tulsa (Okla.).
Long Beach, Calif., is approximately 26 miles from Anaheim, the Official Host City for the U.S. Men's and Women's Volleyball Teams. Both teams train at the American Sports Centers.
"I am thrilled that we will be able to play World League matches in front of our hometown fans," said U.S. Men's Head Coach Alan Knipe, who is taking a leave of absence from Long Beach State, where he served as head coach from 2000-09. "I know the players, the staff and their families will appreciate being able to play these important matches in Southern California. I want to thank everyone who made it possible."
Officials from USA Volleyball's Southern California Region will also support the event.
The FIVB World League is an elite men's volleyball competition in which the world's 16 best teams are divided into four pools and play an Intercontinental Round for six straight weekends from May 27 to July 3. Each team plays every other team in the pool for two matches at home and two matches away.
The four pool winners and the four second-place teams advance to the Final Round, which will be held July 6-10 in Gdansk, Poland. As the host country, Poland will automatically advance to the final round, so only the winner or second-place team from its pool will advance.
The total World League prize purse is more than $20 million, with the winning team collecting a prize of more than $1 million.
The United States won its first World League title in 2008 and finished third in 1992 and 2007.
"We are glad to be able to bring World League to Southern California and its many volleyball fans," USA Volleyball CEO Doug Beal said. "We look forward to some big crowds and exciting matches against Puerto Rico."
Puerto Rico is competing in World League for the first time in 2011. The U.S. Men last played Puerto Rico in 2008 at the NORCECA Continental Olympic Qualifier, where the United States defeated Puerto Rico twice to qualify for the Olympic Games.
The U.S. Men will open the 2011 World League in Poland on the weekend of May 27. Then they will travel to Puerto Rico the weekend of June 3 and to Brazil the weekend of June 10.
Ticket information will be available soon.
