Great for Little Hands
By Second Time Around
from Salt Lake City, UT
My 2 little boys love this toy! My 5 year old has had so much fun measuring. It's easy for him to use and it's been a great teaching toy. I have been able to teach him about inches, centimeters, meters, and feet. It's great for comparing what is bigger or smaller and taller or shorter. My 15 month old has gotten his little hands on it too and it's even easy for him to play with and has withstood his rough playing. So to me, that makes it very durable since my little one is rough with toys. It's a great educational toy and also great for imaginative play. **I received this product free of charge to review on my blog, Second Time Around. My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.**
Great for Doers!
By Erin from Connected2Christ

The Learning Resources Tape Measure is a must have learning tool for young children. It's perfect for reinforcing early math and science skills. This measure is largely sized but not overly making it ideal for little hands to control and use. The tape measure has a soft-grip handle as well as a manual wind up crank. The crank is great for little ones to practice and master fine motor skills by reeling it back up. The colors are of green, purple, and yellow making making it gender neutral i.e good for either a girl or a boy. The tape displays inches & feet on one side, centimeters on the other! It also features a double-sided tab for easy use. Frustration Free! It's simple, straight forward, and the perfect measuring tape for children who want to measure everything they come across! My daughter age 4 1/2 has gotten a lot of use out of the Simple Tape Measure. We've used it for our homeschooling as well as for pretend play. She learns the best from doing something herself so any sort of manipulative activity. One activity that we did together with the measuring tape was to measure various items around the house. I laminated a sheet of items that could be found around the house, had her locate these items, and then measure them! She had a blast and was learning how to compare, contrast, and estimate! Both my children ages 4 1/2 & 2 1/2 years old had no problems using tape measure. There's been no fear of getting pinched or cut by retraction. The winding it back up came easily to my son and daughter. My kids can safely learn & play imaginatively to their hearts content! This product has been wonderful and it's held up great use after use. This product will be getting ton more use in our home and I can't see my kids excitement of using it faltering any time soon. Highly recommended and perfect for children age 3-6 years old!
Excellent tool all around!
By Stuff Parents Need
from Chattanooga, TN
First and foremost, let's talk about the bad news. We did have trouble with the tape measure getting off track in its wheel house. This was easily fixes by unscrewing the toy and re-looping it, and it actually provided yet another lesson for our child, as she got to see exactly how a tape measure works on the inside. Our 3 1/2 year old absolutely loves this thing. Right now we are working on very basic things like longer and shorter, and working on the feet designations (for example: find something that is more than 1 foot long). I can see this product also being useful for teaching fractions later on. Highly recommend!I was provided with this product free on charge and am giving my honest opinion here.

Many breast cancer patients can safely skip invasive, often debilitating treatments. Four questions to help you decide whether to take the risk.
MOST WOMEN WHO�VE HAD BREAST CANCER want to do whatever it takes to avoid its return. And who can blame them? Yet new research suggests that some patients�and doctors�may be opting for more treatment than necessary. A study at the Humanitas Cancer Center in Milan, Italy, for instance, followed 749 women at 11 centers in Italy after surgery alone or surgery plus radiation. The women were ages 55 to 75 and had tumors 2.5 cm or less that had not spread. The study found no significant difference in the return rate of cancer among the women in the two groups after nine years. A 2012 study at the University of Michigan of 1,446 women treated for breast cancer found that about 70 percent of women who had both breasts removed after a breast cancer diagnosis did so despite a very low risk of getting cancer in the healthy breast. The researchers said that in most cases the decision was driven by fear of recurrence. While the idea that less treatment may be just as effective in eradicating breast cancer is undoubtedly good news, it does make an already tough decision more complicated. Under such scary circumstances, getting answers�to the following questions should help you decide when less aggressive breast cancer treatment is the right choice for you. 1. Should I get a second opinion? �If you�re troubled by feeling a decision is all up to you, get a second opinion,� says Dr. Mary Jane Massie, attending psychiatrist at Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, who counsels women through these decisions every day. �But go in with an open mind. If you want someone to agree with your preconceived notion, you can probably find someone who will� whether it�s minimal treatment or three buckets of treatment." RELATED: Breast Cancer News You Can Use Getting a second opinion doesn�t mean abandoning the first doctor, says Massie: �It may help clarify your decision. But remember that 23 opinions are never useful.� 2. What are my feelings about each option and why? �If a woman is offered the choice between mastectomy plus reconstruction versus limited surgery and radiation, some might say, �I�ve seen many women I love die from breast cancer, so for me, the best option is a mastectomy,�� says Massie. �But another woman might say, �I�m young, I had hoped for a partner and to nurse my children, so for me the limited surgery and radiation is best.� It depends where a person is in life.� Going over those feelings with your doctor will help him guide you and also help clarify your feelings. 3. Are the options equal or is one preferable to another? �Many women aren�t�given an optional choice by their doctor,� says Massie. �The doctor may say, �This is my recommendation, period.� But sometimes a doctor says these are equal choices. That�s when your personal preferences come into play.� Ask about the risks and benefits of each option, says Massie: �And ask, �If I do nothing, what is the chance I will die?� �If I do x, what is the likelihood that the cancer will recur?� That�s when the trust in your doctor comes into your decision.� Once you have made a decision based on the best information from your doctor and your own research, try to avoid second- guessing yourself, says Mary Dev, a social work counselor at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. �Nothing is 100 percent guaranteed,� she says. �You have to make the�best decision for yourself given the options you�re presented with.� 4. Should I consult with a cancer psychologist or psychiatrist about my decision? Most decisions about cancer treatment don�t have to be made in a rush, says Massie. �Comprehensive cancer centers have mental health professionals who realize how over- whelming these decisions are,� she says. �Meeting with a psychologist or psychiatrist can help you prioritize your questions, and sort through what is trivial versus what is important.� Such discussions can help both you and the counselor understand how you�ve made decisions in the past, which can help you decide what is right now.

Judge: Recalls against state senators must go on
DENVER — A Denver judge ruled that recall elections for two Colorado Democratic senators who supported gun restrictions must proceed even though the lawmakers are challenging the validity of the petitions.
Denver District Court Robert Hyatt made the decision Thursday afternoon.
Colorado Springs Senate President John Morse and Pueblo Sen. Angela Giron (HEE'-rawn) say the recall petitions against them are invalid because they didn't ask for an election for a successor like the state constitution mandates. The lawmakers were seeking a preliminary injunction from the judge.
Supporters of the recall maintain their petitions are valid and want an election soon. But no date has been set yet and the lawmakers are likely to continue their legal challenge.

Editor's note: This is the 14th installment in Bleacher Report's NFL 1000 for the 2013 season. This signature series runs through April 24, with NFL Draft Lead Writer Matt Miller ranking the best players at every position. You can read more about the series in this introductory article. See the NFL 1000 page for more rankings.
Richard Sherman or Darrelle Revis? You might think you know the answer, but what if you truly broke down every play of the 2013 season to see which player was better? Are Sherman and Revis the best, or does Patrick Peterson or Desmond Trufant belong in the conversation?
So who is the best of the best at cornerback?
That's what the NFL 1000 aims to identify. Throw out the narratives and the fantasy football stats, and dig into the film. Then we'll see who is the best.
The B/R 1000 metric is based on scouting each player and grading the key criteria for each position. The criteria are weighted according to importance on a 100-point scale.
Potential is not taken into consideration. Nor are career accomplishments.
Cornerbacks are judged on coverage (80 points), run defense (10), tackling (10) and all of the technique, athletic ability and football intelligence needed to play the position.
In the case of ties, our team asked, "Which player would I rather have on my team?" and set the rankings accordingly.
Subjective? Yes. But ties are no fun.
Each player was scouted by me and a team of experienced evaluators with these key criteria in mind. The following scouting reports and grades are the work of months of film study from our team.
All statistics from Pro Football Focus (subscription required). Players' heights, weights and seasons from NFL.com.

Mea culpa, more
To the Journal editor:
This is a response to the letter by Marvin Roberson. I am gratified by his "full disclosure," that he is an employee of, and presumably, a genuine card-carrying member of the Sierra Club. Wow!
To start with, I wish to offer a correction. As Mr. Roberson pointed out, the Sierra Club is not a party to the federal lawsuit to overturn the state wolf law or the federal delisting of the western Great Lakes wolf population. I apologize for the error.
When I referred to the Sierra Club and three other animal rights/animal protection groups on the Roundtable, I wrote that animal protection is their raison' d'etre. He claims "This is simply false," yet, he admits in his letter, that "… we work to protect populations and species …"
When I mentioned that they are anti-hunting, he said "This is false." However, as the Sierra Club representative on the Wolf Management Roundtable, he voted against a proposal to allow public hunting and trapping seasons for management purposes.
As for the consensus rule not producing an acceptable outcome for me personally, I didn't know what the result would be, because nobody can predict the future. As it turned out, the rule spoiled things, because a minority of stakeholder groups, six out of 20, had veto power over the will of the majority. In other words, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources stacked the deck to achieve a predetermined outcome.
When the Roundtable convened, we had no way of knowing what to expect. When I offered to participate, I committed myself to see the process through, even though it turned out to be a deeply, if not fatally flawed, management plan. I accepted what the DNR offered in compensation for our services like everyone else. Why not?
Even though the opinions expressed in my letters-are my own, I faithfully represented the best interests of the Upper Peninsula Sportsmen's Alliance. I signed the Recommended Guiding Principles on which the Wolf Management Plan is based, because, at the time, I felt it was best for our organization. I reasoned that the plan could be amended if necessary.
Participation on this citizen's committee was a personal sacrifice and a lot of hard work for all concerned. I don't regret this one bit. To criticize me for accepting compensation, signing the recommendations and attending the celebration, simply because I disagree with the process, is petty and small-minded.

Try a (video) game night at H Street's Atlas Arcade
By Fritz Hahn
Friday, January 4, 2013
Like many who grew up in the 1980s, I spent a lot of time playing video games, pumping quarter after quarter into machines at the local mall in the hope of getting my initials among the high scores. The power of nostalgia for those simpler times is why I keep finding myself at Atlas Arcade when I'm barhopping on H Street NE. After all, who can resist the pairing of DC Brau and "Donkey Kong"?
Atlas is home to a dozen old-school arcade games: there are the '80s wizards-and-warriors machines "Golden Axe" and "Magic Sword," multi-player "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "the Simpsons," plus foosball, pool and darts. A small bar counter features two taps and a decent selection of canned and bottled beers ($3.50 Natty Boh to $6 Lost Rhino and Bell's). Snacks include Pop-Tarts and individual-sized breakfast cereals, so eat elsewhere first.
There's a change machine on the wall; no need to ask bartenders for quarters. Unfortunately, there are no shelves next to the games, so if you want to set your drink down between levels of "Double Dragon II" or "Operation Thunderbolt," grab an extra stool before the game starts.
The arcade also shows '80s and '90s movies on Sunday nights. Look for themed pairings like "Spaceballs" and "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" on Jan. 13.
Owner Erik Holzherr, who also runs the Church & State cocktail bar upstairs, rotates games a few times a year; the original Shinobi is among the titles that have come and gone since Atlas's July opening.
If he could get "Paperboy" and the original "X-Men," I'd never leave.
Atlas Arcade, 1236 H St. NE. 202-399-2323. www.dcatlasarcade.com.

Skip to comments.Red Brain, Blue Brain: Republicans and Democrats Process Risk Differently, Research Finds
Posted on 02/13/2013 5:27:09 PM PST by neverdem
A team of political scientists and neuroscientists has shown that liberals and conservatives use different parts of the brain when they make risky decisions, and these regions can be used to predict which political party a person prefers. The new study suggests that while genetics or parental influence may play a significant role, being a Republican or Democrat changes how the brain functions.
Dr. Darren Schreiber, a researcher in neuropolitics at the University of Exeter, has been working in collaboration with colleagues at the University of California, San Diego on research that explores the differences in the way the brain functions in American liberals and conservatives. The findings are published Feb. 13 in the journal PLOS ONE.
In a prior experiment, participants had their brain activity measured as they played a simple gambling game. Dr. Schreiber and his UC San Diego collaborators were able to look up the political party registration of the participants in public records. Using this new analysis of 82 people who performed the gambling task, the academics showed that Republicans and Democrats do not differ in the risks they take. However, there were striking differences in the participants' brain activity during the risk-taking task.
Democrats showed significantly greater activity in the left insula, a region associated with social and self-awareness. Meanwhile Republicans showed significantly greater activity in the right amygdala, a region involved in the body's fight-or-flight system. These results suggest that liberals and conservatives engage different cognitive processes when they think about risk.
In fact, brain activity in these two regions alone can be used to predict whether a person is a Democrat or Republican with 82.9% accuracy. By comparison, the longstanding traditional model in political science, which uses the party affiliation of a person's mother and father to predict the child's affiliation, is only...
(Excerpt) Read more at sciencedaily.com ...
This is what I like about ScienceDaily. About 9 out of 10 times, they link the original citation, IMHO.
Hopefully this can lead to a cure for liberalism!
Just $1 a day can stop this disease! Donate today!
I am surprised that they they did not conclude that democrats use "higher" reasoning areas of the brain.
It seems in these studies there is always some slant that attempts to make demonrats look smarter
The red brain says I will take this risk and be responsible for it.
The blue brain picks its nose and eats it.
My experience in life directly contradicts theses findings.
Most liberals I know are illogical and base their decisions largely on emotion — supposedly an attribute of the right side of the brain.
Liberals use the area of the brain used for emotions and feelings .... Conservatives use the part of the brain used in logic,, analysis and objectivity. Yup ... it actually makes sense.
I read the study, and this is the money quote that confirms my observations, liberals are fundamentally insecure.
The insula and amygdala often function together in processing situations of risk and uncertainty [30]. The amygdala plays a critical role in orienting of attention to external cues [31] and fear conditioning [32]; however, this structure is also important for other emotional information processing and behavior [33]. Functional neuroimaging studies have shown amygdala activation in reward related processing [34], encoding of emotionally salient information [35], risk-taking [36], processing positively-valenced stimuli [37], and appetitive/aversive olfactory learning [38]. In comparison, neuroimaging studies of insular cortex have observed critical involvement of this neural structure in pain [39], interoceptive [40], emotion-related [41], cognitive [42], and social processing [43]. In particular, the insular cortex is important for representation of internal bodily cues crucial for subjective feeling states and interoceptive awareness [40], [44]. That differences in the processing of risk and uncertainty differentiate liberals and conservatives suggests an alternative way of conceptualizing ideology.
There are two types of liberals, the masters and the slaves. While your statement is true of the rank and file parasite liberal, make no mistake that the leftist elites are extremely calculating. They have to be in order to control there lesseres in the political machine. Think about this, if you wanted to become rich and powerful but didn't have the drive or ability to produce something that would make you wealthy, what more logical, brilliant, and evil way could you get it than becoming a bigwig in the rat party.
Yeah, the rank and file are quite stupid, but the leaders of their kind are very devious — just think Clinton, Obama, and their Sith overlord George Soros.
"Socialize the risk; privatize the reward." — every liberal ever.
"To those who take the risk should go the reward." — conservatives.
That's exactly what I thought when I saw the headline. How are they going to spin this in favor of libs?
Actually, I think that is exactly what the study says; Liberal risk taking is based on "social and self-awareness;" Conservative risk taking is based on "fight or flight."
I think a somewhat logical interpretation is to say that Democrat risk taking is based on emotion ("How will it make me feel?") and Republicans are based on cost/benefit analysis ("What is at stake?").
That's exactly what I thought when I saw the headline. How are they going to spin this in favor of libs?
When Red brains process risk, they are processing risck to their own money. When Blue brains process risk, they are calculating risk on other people's money.
Speaking as a woman working in the field of math/science... of which most of my peers are men....
They might have something there
Signed a staunch unwavering conservative tea partier
did I mention i love my God my bible and my gun.
uh huh, yeah, that's the ticket, the liberals are "socially aware" and the conservatives "fight or flight" like a neanderthal beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee essssssssssssssss
This is exactly why they are low information voters and always will be. The only way to get the dems to vote conservative is to use the EMO card. Talking to them logically will not compute.
Also, the liberals are expert social psychologists using EMO to get the sheep to do as they want. Hence, using every catastrophe to play on the emotions of the sheep. Lying is great because the sheep are using emotions and not brains and will not remember what was said by only how they felt about what was said.
I've found that liberals take risks with an assumption that mommy and daddy (government) will save them from any mistake.
Assuming most conservatives are like me - I worry about any risk in terms of if there's an outcome where I end up homeless.
My Dad actually told me that a looooooong time ago. Most people respond emotionally and that most arguments should be couched that way. Logical, fact based argument only work with relatively small parts of the population.
I have never been able to implement it, though, so I work with computers and other geeks.
I think the study IS trying to make liberals look superior. Its subtle, but its there. Consider:
"Social and Self-awareness" — These are generally things a civilized person is concerned with.
"Fight or Flight" — Sounds like the reaction of a thug or savage. In short, someone who constantly perceives they are in danger.
I'd prefer to revert to the old color scheme. The collectivists should be be red. The BS media made the switch in 2000 and thought nobody would notice.
Conservatives, on the other hand, realistically assess risk vs. reward. We remain aware of the danger of bankruptcy and the real pain it will cause to ourselves and everyone around us, and so we act to avoid it, even if the choice is difficult because of our natural human compassion. I don't see conservatives coming out of this study looking bad at all if an interpretation like this is told. Sadly, I don't see this view getting much airtime with the drive-by media.

#1, Demwits invent risks, and blame those risks on others
#2, Demwits want everyone (else) to bear the burdens and risks of the completely unnecessary measures carried out purportedly to alleviate the imaginary risks
and #3, Demwits do this in pursuit of unfettered power. This is why, ultimately, all Demwits will have to be thrown in prison, or, well, whatever.
It's true - Democrats use the part of the brain located in their butts.
This is why you can't use logic, reason and facts with liberals.
They don't process those things.
Instead, they process feelings. Republicans make them feel bad because Republicans tell the truth and it can be harsh sometimes. Like owning guns. Liberals don't want to be confronted with the harsh reality that something bad might happen to them in a situation where they will have a need for a gun to defend themselves and their loved ones.
OTOH, if some smooth-talking BS artist comes on TV and tells them a bunch of fairy tales that makes them feel warm and fuzzy, they will swoon with joy no matter how preposterous the fairy tales are.
Reagan succeeded in reaching many on the left because he made them feel good about America, but at the same time he logically spelled out his conservative agenda and policies which appealed to conservatives resulting in two landslide wins.
Look at the irrational hatred they had for Sarah Palin - how do you explain it?
You can't. The hatred of Palin was never about her accomplishments or policies, it was personal.
It was illogical. The spewing of hatred was the left revealing an ugly emotion.
Ask them why they hate Palin and they will either recite a litany of falsehoods, or they will say "I just do. Something about her just burns me up!"
Ask a conservative why he disagrees with Obama. You won't hear them recite a litany of falsehoods. Instead, they will tell you why his policies are bad for this country.
At this point, facts and logic will overload the liberal brain and they will blame Obama's predecessor, call you a racist and other hateful things since they can't defend the indefensible, but Obama is like a drug to them and like a drug addict, they will be in denial.
In order for a Republican to win the WH, he or she will have to appeal to both logic and emotion in order to get enough of Dems to feel good about voting for them because a Dem will punch a ballot based on who makes them feel warm and fuzzy.
Either that, or Dems are just flat-out stupid.
Another way to look at it is sociopaths and enablers.
It's a little more complicated than that. I'd break down the left's hierarchy as follows:
1. The leadership -- Their objective is power, they recognize the ideology is absurd -- but it is a useful means to their end.
2. The true believers -- they really believe in socialism and are intellectually incapable of realizing their error. They make for good lieutenants to the leadership.
3. The useful idiots -- the blind followers, the foot soldiers of socialism. They don't believe in the ideology necessarily, but they believe in its slogans and sound bites. Also referred to as "the low information voter".
4. The slaves -- to whom the ideology means nothing, but the goodies achieved thru accession and dependency mean everything.
1. The leadership — Their objective is power, they recognize the ideology is absurd — but it is a useful means to their end.
That would be Obama, Emanuel and the like.
2. The true believers — they really believe in socialism and are intellectually incapable of realizing their error. They make for good lieutenants to the leadership.
Here we have Pelosi, Boxer, etc...
3. The useful idiots — the blind followers, the foot soldiers of socialism. They don't believe in the ideology necessarily, but they believe in its slogans and sound bites. Also referred to as "the low information voter".
A large percentage of Obama voters that believed in empty slogans like "Hope and Change"
4. The slaves — to whom the ideology means nothing, but the goodies achieved thru accession and dependency mean everything.
Those dependent on Government for Food Stamps and Obama phones.
I am sure that is how liberals will interpret it.
I see it as someone completely disconnected from the consequences trying to make decisions for other...
Like my sis, the social worker.
Liberals think, "How will this make me appear to the others?"
Conservatives think, "Should I fear this or not?"

It would be awesome if you guys could start selling stevia so we could sweeten our teas with it without having to go to another site to purchase it. Of course you would have to advertise it as a dietary suppliment rather than a sweetener (thanks to the FDA). It's completely natural and safe and has been used for hundreds of years with no known side effects and has hundreds of times the sweetness of sugar. Not to mention it's safe for diabetics or anyone who wants to lower their sugar intake because it doesn't affect blood sugar and is non-caloric. Here's a site you may wish to look at. http://www.wonderlabs.com/newshowitems. ... &offset=10
Stevita brand seems to be the most popular. I ordered the 16oz spoonable powder. It should last a really long time since it take such a small amount (1//4 a teaspoon for me) to sweeten just one cup. In the longrun it would be cheaper than buying sugar or honey all the time.
On a personal note, it's done good for me because my college nurse told me I have Reynauds where my hands can get cold really easy, but at night they would swell and sometimes would be swollen so much that it would be hard to even open a bottle of water. Since stevia has allowed me to greatly lower my sugar intake (I used to flavor my tea with small amounts of honey), my hands have not been swelling at night since I started using it.

The Voice of College Sports…
I recently read a little observational piece over at Get the Picture! about legendary Georgia Bulldogs radio broadcaster Larry Munson. This article mainly referred to an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution which mentioned that, due to health problems, Munson will not be attending the Atlanta Sports Awards Gala.
That brought back some memories …
Now — obviously — I am not really a Georgia fan, but I have a great deal of respect for Munson, not so much for his style or delivery, but because of what he represents. Munson, along with Mississippi State's Jack Cristil, the Tarhead U's Woody Durham, Duke's Bob Harris, and Gene Deckerhoff of FSU represent the last of the great southern college radio announcers. I'm sure there may be a few more scattered across the country, but there can't be too many more. They are, sadly, a group which is fading farther and farther into the past every year. I know that time presses on – that is hardly a revelation. The fact that millions of broadband denizens congregate in this place known as the blogsphere — a place which did not even exist a few short years ago — is testament to that. While I embrace the advance of technology and progress, along the way we do lose real tangible pieces of the past which are truly golden.
Make no mistake, the "Good Old Days" were rarely as good as some would have us believe. Still, within the confines of the world of college sports, there are parts of the past which are worth preserving. In our TV-dominated sports world, the radio has become antiquated. There was, however, a day when the radio was the only way for the vast majority of fans to follow their favorite team – or any team at all, for that matter. When my Father was growing up, there were three channels on the television, and each of those channels carried one game a week. When my Grandfather was growing up, television didn't even exist. In that sense, my Grandfather embraced "wireless technology" almost seventy years before I got my first wireless enabled laptop. My wireless connects me to the internet via a router; it has keys and an LCD monitor. My Grandfather' wireless had a dial and a the ability to pick up a static-ridden signal that bounced around the ionosphere and brought with it a world beyond the confines of the mountains of Western North Carolina. To this day, my Grandfather still has a battered old radio next to his bed so he can "listen to his ballgames."
Larry Munson is one of the few remaining patriarchs of the golden age of college sports radio broadcasting. He has been broadcasting Georgia games since 1966. Up until the last season, he had missed only one football game in that time. This past year, due to debilitating arthritis and back problems -which made travel, and at times even walking, extremely difficult for the 85 year old — Munson only broadcast home games from Athens, leaving the road games to younger men. Mississippi State's salty and sarcastic Jack Cristil has been at it even longer than Munson, having begun his stint behind the microphone in 1953. Up until 2006, Max Falkenstein of Kansas had been broadcasting for an unbelievable 60 consecutive years. Falkenstein had been broadcasting so long that, when dubious clip of him calling the final game of Kansas' last undefeated basketball season appeared on the internet, that I'm sure some thought it was some probably thought it was authentic … despite the fact the game was played in 1909. This select band of broadcasters served as the eyes for fans all across the country, and in their heyday every school had its own "voice" which was as unmistakable as the mascot and the school colors.
Of course, most schools still have their radio voice, but increasingly those broadcasters serve as more of a PR rep for the athletic department than a true sportscaster. The broadcasters of yesteryear were as numerous as they were idiosyncratic and distinctive. Every school had one, and each broadcaster had his own style which set him apart from the others. There was the friendly conversation with Cawood Ledford (Kentucky), the pristine enunciation, emphasis, rhythm of John Ward (Tennessee), the complex imagery of Al Ciraldo (Georgia Tech), the warbling and swooping voice of Bob Fulton (South Carolina). The voices of Jim Phillips (Clemson), Otis Boggs (Florida), Stan Torgerson (Ole Miss), Jim Fyffe (Auburn), John Forney (Alabama), Paul Eells (Arkansas), John Ferguson (LSU), and of course the gravelly and bombastic sounds of Larry Munson (Georgia) carried the gospel of college sports to fans and alumni all across the country. What's more, in an era before the preening primadonnas of ESPN, the college radio broadcaster was also listened to by a wider audience — including those who didn't even have a dog in the fight. They were the voices that painted the pictures and brought games into living rooms, cars on the road, backyards, and businesses all across the country.
Today, for most folks, the idea of just listening to the broadcast of an affiliated college radio network – other than the one for their team – is foreign. Today, it is the tame and tidy world of "made for TV" sports that most appeals to people. I suppose that isn't necessarily a bad thing. As a general proposition, most television broadcasters are more objective and balanced than university-affiliated radio broadcasters – especially in the case of the decidedly partisan Munson, who typically refers to the Bulldogs simply as "we" or "us" …
… or did the great college radio broadcasters simply not try to conceal their bias. (yes, Bill Curry, I'm talking to you…)
Furthermore, in most cases, television has a much more polished delivery; there really isn't much to argue about there. Yet, in the world of sports – at least the world of college sports – isn't it supposed to be just a little rough around the edges?
In defense of the sports viewing audience, the great personalities are largely a thing of the past, and college sports radio is much less interesting. Now, it seems that most affiliated radio broadcasters try very diligently to emulate the style of television broadcasters. They focus on speaking clearly (something no one ever accused Munson of doing), in simple evenly modulated sentences (avoid the high end near-screaming of Woody Durham of UNC), and try and make things very … "sterile."
White bread, rice with no butter, just like the lay of the land in the Midwest – really flat, really boring, and goes on forever…
Oh, I am not trying to be overly critical of the current generation of college radio sportscasters. Some are quite good – even showing moments of brilliance – but they are somewhat hamstrung by the expectations placed upon them by their schools, their image conscious alumni, and the media in general. A great example is the current Voice of the Tennessee Vols, Bob Kesling – who enters his tenth year in that role in 2008. After taking over from the legendary John Ward in 1998, I didn't like Kesling all that much, despite the fact that I had watched him on, then, JP Sports broadcasts as well as Knoxville Channel 10 Sports for several years, and like his work. Kesling, however, has really grown into his role as a dedicated radio broadcaster. Along with color-man Tim Priest for football, the Vol Network really puts together some top flight coverage. With each passing year that Kesling calls games on the radio, he seems to develop a little more of a persona, he seems more comfortable, and the energy level of the broadcasts increases.
Bearing that in mind, in case any of you satellite radio executives are reading out this, the fact that Sirius carried the Vol Network was the only reason that I purchased my first satellite radio in 2004. In 2007 Tennessee switched over to XM, and that move was the only reason I bought an XM unit (like I really needed two different units on two different networks, I mean they play the same damn music). While the days of the little 500 watt stations dotting the countryside sending the signal out to each little town across the south, without competition from television will never return, the advent of satellite radio may, very well, bring the world of great college broadcasting back into our homes. With a near limitless medium — which is what everyone says satellite radio is — there is no reason that every college radio broadcast can't go all across the country, and beyond.
Still, I have such fond memories of listening to John Ward announcing the Tennessee games. With Ward, I learned that often I could see the game better with my eyes closed and my ears open. John Ward's words became my eyes, and they never saw things as clearly as they did when he was painting the picture word by word. I learned that a true professional needs no introduction, no pomp, and no showy entrance. I learned that class is a commodity not often found among broadcasters (just watch to ESPN on any given night). I learned that mistakes in public are not a bad thing if you can have a good laugh about it. There was nothing quite like hearing "Give him SIX!!" and the oft imitated "It's Football Time in Tennessee," and I will always miss that. To you lucky fans who still have one of the greats behind the microphone, allow me to give you a little piece of friendly advice …
…cherish your opportunities to tune in and watch with your ears.
Georgia, you better enjoy your chances to dance with "Lady Luck and her Hobnailed Boot." You folks in Starkville, enjoy those "drives of the game …" including the one back "home from Starkville to Tupelo," while you still can. Yes, and you Smurfs in Chapel Hill (yeah, yeah, I know I went to school there too, but it was "trade school") take advantage of your opportunities to "go where you go, and do what you do, and may all of your skies be Carolina Blue."
At any rate, I sincerely hope that Larry Munson, Jack Cristil, Bob Harris, Woody Durham, Gene Deckerhoff, and the other remaining legends of the airwaves keep at it as long as they can. Speaking from personal experience, once they are gone, it just doesn't seem the same for a very long time.
I suppose this terribly long, sappy, and sentimental journey into the past needs to be cut off at some point, so I'll end it here. That said, given my penchant for "collecting" things (See my Tennessee Home for the Visually Offensive) I have some plans to create another museum of sorts here at Gate 21 — one which will put some of the magic of these great college broadcasters on display for a little while longer. Thus, if you have any good clips for posting, feel free to email me, and I'll find a good place for them where they can be appreciated.
In the meantime, I'll leave you with a little montage I managed to put together from a few select clips I found. The sound quality isn't always that great, but maybe, just maybe, it might make you smile, make you laugh, or bring back a few memories…
Yes, that is the true voice of college sports…

Nicely stated, LV.
The transition from radio to TV has certainly had a major impact on how games are presented, as well shaping our listening expectations.
I think that in particular, Monday Night Football, with its introduction of personality into the broadcast booth, has had an enormous effect on not just football broadcasting, but on all sports broadcasting.
I will mourn Munson when he's gone, that's for sure. I remember being mesmerized by the way he called a game against Kentucky in the late 70′s. Lewis Grizzard, another Southern icon, referred to Munson's call of that game as "better than being there". I can think of no higher praise.
By the way, as long as we've got Uncle Ron calling games, things aren't completely bleak on TV.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Great well organised raceIn full: First race in the EMGP Series and a good 10K for a PB which I achieved. Did the HM here back in March so knew what to expect and the excitement has now worn off for me as the long straights are just so boring. Silston Joggers do a top job organising this and everything went very smooth, even the rain held off for us. Nice medal and bottle of water to finish, cakes and coffee if you want them. I would recommend this for any runner, I'm a just under the hour finisher and there were plenty of people behind me, its lovely and flat so no big hassle. Traffic wasn't great getting out of carpark but it didn't take to long. I am sure I will do it again next year as its on my doorstep but just use headphones to kill the boredom of those long straights.Date of review: May 10, 2012
In full: First time to this race and multi terrain so was alittle apprehensive. Did the 10K and I gotta say I really enjoyed it and my first at under the hour so well pleased. It was a very cold day and the course is undulating but a lovely country park and rather scenic. I am defo up for the next 2 rounds and also investing in some trail shoes, I could have done with more grip at times and I heard a few people went over on the icy corners. Organisation was ok, the start is just a free for all and go when you hear go. Could have done with more than a medal but never mind and also £2.50 to park is way to steep. All the marshals were great especially the black guy he was awesome, he was constantly shouting praise at everyone and how well we were doing. I hope you are there for the next two you made my day, thats if you have your voice back :-)Date of review: January 19, 2012
In short: It was so warmIn full: Signed up for the 5K when I was fairly new to running. Glad on the day it was not the 10 is was so so warm. This race is great, really good turn out and lots of entertainment round the course. That last climb back into Sixfields was not so good especially with the heat. No stalls selling drinks or food which was surprising only ice-cream van, take not for next year organisers. Great race for PB potential and I will defo be back next yearDate of review: October 17, 2011
In short: Much Hillier than expectedIn full: Nice 10K out of Buckingham and round Stowe School and Lakes. Much hillier than told/expected but a good challenge and enjoyed it. Probably be back next yearDate of review: October 17, 2011

Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have received a petition that I am pleased to present to the House. It is from a number of constituents in my riding of Mississauga South and it is on the subject matter of marriage, notwithstanding that we have already disposed of Bill C-38. The petitioners want to draw to the attention of the House the fact that they do not believe marriage is an institution that does not implicate human rights, that it is the best social unit for the purpose of creating and nurturing the next generation of children, and that they are concerned Bill C-38 will weaken the institution of marriage and will have unforeseen, profound and negative ramifications for children.
The point of their petition is to encourage the government to ensure that the impact on our children as a consequence of changing the definition of marriage is monitored and to ensure that there are no adverse circumstances as a result of that change.

Mr. Speaker, with respect to sponsorship, VIA Rail Canada Inc.(VIA) is routinely solicited by event organizers and agencies who manage events in various locations across Canada. Criteria used to determine whether VIA will sponsor events are a function of the location of the event, what other communication activities VIA has planned to coincide with the event in question, and whether the target audience for the event is consistent with VIA's target market.
For the years 1994 to 2004, VIA entered into sponsorship agreements with the following companies:
With respect to joint advertising programs, the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) has a mandate to develop tourism industry-wide advertising programs to encourage Canadians and citizens of selected foreign countries to visit Canada. The CTC develops these programs and solicits industry participation through its advertising agencies. Up until 2003, the agencies for the CTC were Vickers & Benson and BCP Group Ltd.
VIA issued multiple purchase orders to participate in the industry-wide program, along with other companies in the tourism industry, as follows:
With respect to contracts for communication services, VIA entered into a contract with Publicité Martin following a competitive tender process and an agency review. Publicité Martin subcontracted work to Lafleur Communication Marketing.

With regard to the re-evaluation by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency of 2,4-D for use on lawns and turf: ( a ) what is the specific process used to evaluate this pesticide, including any deliberations on why it was completed ahead of the new, stronger regulations for the Pest Control Products Act of 2002 being promulgated; ( b ) how closely was the Canadian Environmental Protection Act followed, specifically, what analyses were provided regarding dioxins with two or more chlorine atoms that may contaminate 2,4-D during the lifetime of the product; ( c ) what studies looked specifically at the effect on the elderly and on children; and ( d ) has the Pest Management Regulatory Agency issued a second Information Note retracting the statement "that 2,4-D can be used safely on lawns and turf" as suggested by the chair of the Standing Committee on Health?
Question No. 156
Routine Proceedings
3:25 p.m.
Vancouver South
Ujjal Dosanjh Minister of Health
Mr. Speaker, the response is as follows:
(a) Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) committed to undertake a priority review of the turf uses of 2,4 D and other lawn care pesticides as part of its "Action Plan on Urban Use Pesticides", announced in 2000 by the Minister of Health in response to public concerns regarding the safe use of these products in urban settings. The publication "Action Plan on Urban Use Pesticides" (http://www.pmra arla.gc.ca/english/pdf/hlawns/hl ActionPlan e.pdf) includes additional details of the plan.
PMRA's general re evaluation process is outlined in the publication "PMRA Re evaluation Program" (DIR2001 03). The scientific assessment of 2,4 D would not have differed if it had been completed under the new Pest Control Products Act. Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency has been routinely using the modern risk assessment methods enshrined in the new Act in its current reviews of both new and older chemicals. These modern risk assessment methods include an aggregate assessment that takes into account pesticide exposure from all sources, including food, water and pesticide use in homes and schools, and considers cumulative effects of pesticides that act in the same way. Also, the sensitivities of vulnerable groups such as infants and children are considered, and extra safety factors are applied to protect children.
PMRA's assessment was conducted by its highly qualified scientists. The re evaluation of lawn and turf uses of 2,4 D was based on a comprehensive review of the considerable information available on 2,4 D, including:
an extensive proprietary database including laboratory animal studies to determine potential health effects and studies that examine potential effects on the environment;
published scientific information; these include reports, epidemiological studies and all other relevant scientific information published in scientific journals and other publicly available documentation;
foreign reviews results of other countries scientific assessments of 2,4 D including the United States, the European Union, New Zealand and the World Health Organization; and,
use pattern information collected by the PMRA
The broad range of scientific information examined by the PMRA included relevant data utilized by non regulatory groups, such as the Ontario College of Family Physicians in their April 2004 report. That report focussed on a subset of epidemiology studies from the public literature, but the authors did not have all available data to conduct a human health risk assessment. The examination of animal toxicity data from internationally accepted guideline studies using doses well above those to which humans are typically exposed to, combined with exposure data obtained from well designed studies, is currently the best methodology available for assessing risks to human health.
For 2,4 D, external experts were also asked to comment on various aspects of PMRA's review in order to provide a broader perspective on the assessment than the usual internal review process. This 5 member science advisory panel included experts in their fields of epidemiology, exposure assessment, human toxicology, and environmental toxicology. The Ppnel generally agreed with the PMRA's assessment. A summary of the panel's findings and recommendations was included in the public consultation document "Proposed Acceptability for Continuing Registration" (PACR2005 01), Re evaluation of Lawn and Turf Uses of (2,4 Dichlorophenoxy) acetic Acid [2,4 D]".
The PMRA will carefully consider the numerous comments received in response to PACR2005 01, revise the assessment as required, and communicate the final decision to the public in a re-evaluation decision document as soon as the process is completed.
(b) As part of the re evaluation of the lawn and turf uses of 2,4 D, the PMRA took into account the toxic substances management policy and followed its Rrgulatory directive DIR99 03. The former is the federal government policy that directs the determination and management of Track 1 substances (chemicals that are toxic, persistent, bioaccumulative and anthropogenic) and is consistent with the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. Polychlorinated dioxins substituted in at least the 2,3,7,8 positions are track 1 substances.
In 1982, Agriculture Canada's Pesticide Division (now Health Canada's PMRA) had randomly collected from the marketplace forty one (41) 2,4 D amine end products and seventeen (17) 2,4 D ester end products for testing of dioxins. Of these fifty eight (58) samples, only six 2,4 D amines and one 2,4 D ester end products were contaminated with either dichlorodioxin or trichlorodioxin at levels marginally higher than 10 ppb (parts per billion parts of 2,4 D), the production limit established in Agriculture Canada's Pesticides Division Trade Memo R 1 216 published in April 15, 1983. 2,3,7,8 TCDD was not detected at limit of detection of 1 ppb. To demonstrate that today's products do not contain Track 1 substances such as dioxins, above the level of quantification, the PMRA is requiring the manufacturers to submit data of 2,3,7,8 TCDD and 2,3,7,8 TCDF and their respective higher substituted chlorinated congeners to the limits of quantitation (0.1 ppb) in five recent batches of all technical products as part of the data requirements from the re evaluation of 2,4 D.
(c) It is important to distinguish between toxicity data (studies that are specifically designed to elicit a toxic effect) and exposure data (monitoring and biomonitoring data in humans such as in workers & bystanders including children and the elderly that occur as a result of normal use). Since its inception, the PMRA has not used toxicity studies in humans for risk assessment in which human subjects are intentionally dosed with pesticides to identify or quantify their effects. Human studies of this nature that have been brought to our attention, have been used solely in a supplementary manner thus far, to confirm that the animal model is an appropriate surrogate for assessment purposes. As such, the PMRA does not condone the use of human subjects for pesticide testing to establish no observed adverse effect levels (see below) for assessing risk for new or existing products. However, the PMRA does evaluate monitoring and biomonitoring data in humans (e.g., exposure data from workers, bystanders, victims of accidents), if available.
The PMRA uses animal data as a surrogate for understanding the hazard profile (i.e., toxicity) of a given chemical and for establishing reference doses for the purpose of conducting human health risk assessments. Toxicity data from a number of different mammalian species including mice, rats, rabbits and dogs are examined, in order to assess cross species similarities and differences, as well as species sensitivity. Studies examine short and long term effects, as well as the potential for a chemical to induce birth defects, reproductive effects, potential sensitivity in the young and cancer. These studies are conducted at doses many times higher than what humans are exposed to, in order to understand the toxicity profile for a given chemical. Typically, the most sensitive species is used as the indicator species for human toxicity and health risk assessment, unless there are sufficient data to indicate another species is more appropriate. For human health risk assessment, safety factors are applied to the dose where no effects were observed in animal studies (i.e. the "no effect level" noted above) to create a reference dose. This reference dose is, at minimum, 100 times below the dose where no toxic effects were observed in animal tests. The safety factors account for interspecies extrapolation from animals to humans, for intraspecies variability, as well as for any other concerns identified in the toxicology data such as potential sensitivity of the young. This approach is consistent with that of other regulatory authorities that base human health risk assessments on animal toxicity data. Retrospective analyses indicate that this approach is protective of the human population.
The amount of exposure to humans from all relevant routes (oral, inhalation, absorption through the skin) and pathways (dietary intake, drinking water, residential exposures) is determined using a variety of data. Demographic data obtained from survey information are used to generate gender and age specific profiles for body weight, food consumption and activity patterns. This includes data on infants, toddlers, youth and adult sub populations. The demographic data are combined with the amount of pesticide residue present in air, drinking water, food and treated areas such as turf. As an example, the unique physiology, behaviours and play habits of children, such as their body weight and hand to mouth contact while playing on treated grass are considered together, when determining how much exposure they encounter. Residue data are obtained from a variety of sources including environmental surveillance, food residue monitoring programs and from both published and unpublished scientific studies designed to assess residue transfer to humans that may result from contact with treated areas. To be protective of human health, conservative estimates are used to obtain upper bound exposure levels. A listing of published human exposure studies considered specifically in the 2,4 D turf re evaluation is provided in PACR 2005 01.
The PMRA then conducts a quantitative risk assessment in order to integrate the results of the hazard assessment with those of an exposure assessment. This means that the level of exposure (or dose) that an individual, including a child, may encounter from a specific pesticide is compared to the reference dose that is established from the toxicity data. In the case of 2,4 D use on lawns, the PMRA required that the level of exposure to various sub populations be at least 300 to 1000 times below the dose where no toxic effects were observed in animal tests. Thus, the amount of 2,4 D to which humans are exposed through diet, drinking water and contacting treated grass is 100s to 1000s of times less than the dose that causes any toxic effect in animal studies.
(d) The information note clearly invites stakeholders to provide any additional information that may be relevant to the re evaluation. As indicated earlier, PMRA's review did determine that 2,4 D does not pose unacceptable risks for lawn and turf use when label directions are followed, and proposed the continuing registration of 2,4 D products. The public has responded to PACR2005 01 with numerous comments, some of which include additional published data and information. After a thorough evaluation of all comments received during the comment period, the PMRA will revise the assessment as required and communicate the final decision to all stakeholders in a re-evaluation decision document and a revised Information Note .

With regards to the approvals of further developments of open-net fish farms along the West Coast, has Environment Canada initiated a comprehensive study under the Environmental Assessment Act and, if not, why?
Question No. 164
Routine Proceedings
3:25 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Minister of the Environment
Environment Canada, EC, has not initiated comprehensive studies under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, CEAA, for open-net fish farms along the west coast because EC does not have a decision making role, i.e. funding, issuance of a permit or authorization etc. related to fish farms that would require an environmental assessment under CEAA.
An environmental assessment is required under CEAA if the issuance of a federal authorization under the Fisheries Act or the Navigable Waters Protection Act is needed in order for a fish-farm to proceed. In that case, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, DFO, or Transport Canada are the responsible authorities under CEAA. Environment Canada provides expert advice to the responsible authorities related to our mandate, for example, shellfish water quality protection, toxics pollution prevention, and migratory birds.
Fish farms are not listed in the comprehensive study list regulations and therefore a screening level assessment is conducted by the responsible authority rather than a comprehensive study.

Jim Karygiannis Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, In December 2002 the International Maritime Organization, IMO adopted the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code ISPS Code and other amendments to the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea Convention, 1974, SOLAS Convention to enhance the international framework for the deterrence, prevention and detection of acts that threaten security in the marine transportation sector. All IMO contracting governments, including Canada, have adopted the ISPS code in July 2004 and have the necessary national regulations in place.
The Canadian Marine Transportation Security Regulations, MTSR introduce new security requirements for the marine transportation industry under section 5 of the Marine Transportation Security Act, MTSA, and implement all provisions of the ISPS code.
(a) Yes, all 423 ports and marine facilities in Canada to which the MTSR apply have implemented the ISPS code. The MTSR applies to all Canadian ports and marine facilities serving vessels covered by the MTSR, engaged on a voyage from a port in one country to a port in another country. Others may be added in the future, as they are required to apply the MTSR.
(b) Canadian vessels, marine facilities and port authorities to which the MTSR apply are required to develop and implement a risk-based security plan developed from information obtained in security assessments of vulnerability and threat. Once submitted, the plans are reviewed by Transport Canada Marine Security Inspectors. An official certificate of compliance or international ship security certificate is issued upon approval of the plans.
The MTSR requires that audits be conducted by ports authorities and the operators of marine facilities against their approved and implemented security plans to determine whether there are any deficiencies or changes in security threats, procedures, responsibilities of personnel, operations or operator that require amendments to be made to the plans. Marine facility operators are required to perform internal audits annually or if there is a change in operator or modifications to the marine facility or its operations. There is no requirement for port authorities to conduct annual audits, although they are required to continually evaluate marine transportation security and to include a plan for periodically reviewing, auditing and updating the port security plan. If changes are required to the security plan following an audit, operators are required to submit an amendment to the minister of Transport for approval within 30 days. Port authorities and the operators of marine facilities may call upon independent sources to perform internal audits for their own purposes.
Transport Canada Marine Security Inspectors conduct inspections of marine facilities and ports to ensure compliance with MTSR, and ISPS Code requirements, including the continued validity and implementation of security plans. These inspections are conducted under the authority of the Marine Transportation Security Act. Independent sources are not used for these inspections.
(c) All Canadian vessels to which the MTSR apply are in compliance and have received an international ship security certificate, ISSC, and Canadian vessel security certificate, VSC. There are approximately 213 Canadian vessels to which the MTSR apply.
(d) Most countries have developed regulations and have implemented the ISPS code for their vessels and ports. Any foreign vessel wishing to enter into Canadian waters must have an ISSC issued under their flag state .

Topic: Where do I do this?
Hey guys,
I'm working on a small custom admin panel for my own personal website. I am working on the part to allow me to manage my Flickr photographs
I have a Flickr class which contains methods to get the list of sets from Flickr, the photos in a particular set and another to grab the sizes for a particular photo.
What I want to do is grab a list of all the sets - (which I can get via a method in my Flickr class) but then for each set that is returned, look through my local Albums (what I call sets on my site) DB table to see if that sets id is in my table and then put a tick or cross next to each set name in the admin panel highlighting if I have that set on my site or not.
So, I know what I wish to do but I am just not 100% sure where to put this logic of looping through the set list returned from Flickr.
Is anyone able to help guide me here?
Kind regards,

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
Whittier College's Center for Engagement with Communities (CEC) has been awarded $411,680 grant from the BCM Foundation to support programs that strengthen the relationship between the surrounding communities and academic programs at the College. Since 2011, CEC has received more than $1 million from BCM to advance the work of the Center and all the programs under its umbrella.
"These programs enable our students to work with organizations in the community in any number of capacities, providing students the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom" said Professor Joyce Kaufman, director of the CEC. "It also allows our community partners to be 'co-educators' by taking an active role in our students' learning and in so doing, they then have an increased investment in the College."
In line with this goal, Whittier students and faculty provide expertise that can help community-based organizations better achieve their own goals.
The BCM Foundation grant will cover a number of ongoing and new projects supported by the CEC. Some notable projects include:
- Fifth Dimension, which serves over 1,000 students and is based at the Boys & Girls Club of Whittier;
- Ruth B. Shannon Performing Arts Center cultural outreach activities and free performances for students and members of community;
- peer mentor programs at La Serna, Whittier, Santa Fe, and Pioneer High Schools;
- meetings and events with community partners; and
- a CEC fellowship program for a current Whittier College student.
BCM funds will also provide special grants and stipends for faculty who integrate community-based learning into their classes.
"When we received our first grant from then-B.C. McCabe Foundation more than a decade ago, I was charged with creating a real partnership between the College and the community," adds Kaufman. "We think that this latest grant, and all that it will allow us to achieve, stands as a testament to achieving that goal."
Another program supported by the CEC and the BCM Foundation is the annual College and Community Expo. This year's event was held in April and provided highlights from various projects carried out by dozens of Whittier students, 18 faculty members, and 36 community partners including the Boys & Girls Club of Whittier, El Rancho High School, Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital, Uptown YMCA, Whittier Historical Society and Museum, and the Whittier Public Library, among others.
