First room is facing to the very calm and green courtyard, second one is facing to the street anyway it is very quite place.

Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Still reasonably cheap and safe to travel. No matter if you are going just for a short break or for longer - there's so much to see and do. There's something magic about that city. We don't know if it is Franz Kafka who's attracting many Jewish to see Old Synagogue. We don't know if it is view from famous cafe Slavia over river and castle where former president used to go.

Jakub es encantador y te informa y facilita la estancia. El apartamento está muy bien y está en una zona tranquila. El mobiliario es básico y se echa de menos una televisión, pero para conocer Praga y volver a descansar tras estar todo el día por ahí es suficiente. Para acceder al centro es mejor utilizar el tranvía, porque andando hay que rodear la estación de tren y se da bastante vuelta.

The University of Colorado Boulder's Program for Writing and Rhetoric (PWR) has been awarded the Writing Program Certificate of Excellence, a national award conferred by the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), the world's largest professional organization for researching and teaching composition.
"The University of Colorado Boulder's Program for Writing and Rhetoric was chosen as an exemplar," writes Chris Anson, CCCC Chair and University Distinguished Professor and Director of the Campus Writing and Speaking Program at North Carolina State University. The selection committee especially praised the PWR's small class sizes and leadership potential regarding "the direction [CU's] program can provide to the field."
With this national award the PWR joins a select group of college-level writing programs designated as a Writing Program of Excellence. PWR was one of five programs receiving the award this year.
"This award is a wonderful recognition of our continuing efforts to build a nationally recognized curriculum in writing and rhetoric," says PWR Director John-Michael Rivera.
The Program for Writing and Rhetoric is a freestanding unit in the College of Arts and Sciences at CU-Boulder and is responsible for campus-wide instruction in expository writing at the first-year and upper-division levels. Its small class sizes of 19 students provide intensive workshops and individualized instruction to help students to think critically about the texts they read and the writing they produce for both academic and professional audiences.
This is the second year in a row that a CU-Boulder writing program has received the Writing Program Certificate of Excellence designation. CU-Boulder's McNeill Writing Program received the award last year.

This is a new hive, package installed April 1. I'm a newbee to ... bees; it's my first hive. I'm located in central MA. Is it possible already to see swarm cells, possibly capped? Pics:
The local bee expert looked at the photos and told me they are supercedure cells, not swarm cells, and I should probably go cut them out. Should I go about getting in there ASAP and breaking them off? In the meantime, I've installed a slotted bottom board during the above pics, to see if that will help matters at all. It looks like there's quite a bit of worker brood, and I'm not sure if those darker cells are a problem or not. Thanks for your advice!

Okay, ...just go with me, and I'll try my best to describe it. ....should of filmed the bloomin' thing.
Walk up to a unit in the green that is approximately the size of 2 1/2 Port-a-potties. Diagrams and a flashing green light on a large panel. (red light if it is occupied) Touch the small metal area indicated, and " v v v v tt" (hear Star Trek sound here) the large silver rectangular door slides to one side and disappears - like an elevator type deal. On entering, another metal area is indicated so that the door will now close "v v v v tt" (oh quit laughin' you weren't there - & we were not the only ones amused by this thing - others took pictures inside & out ! .....yeah yeah,....why didn't we?...)
A voice then reassures you the door is now locked
The abode itself, and everything in this cubicle from space, is stainless steel. Full length mirror,....for those kinky types. Stainless steel floor, walls, and then of course the sink.........thing.
A recessed hole in the wall. Put your hands in, to one side, and soap is in your hands, move your hands ever-so slightly to the right and the water begins, once done, move your hands further to the right and a blower blasts your hands with warm air. The music is still playing. Oh, ....and if you've been good,...you would be hearing the toilet flush by now.
Touch the particular spot on the wall and "v v v v tt" door opens, music stops playing and you are back in the park. Maaarvelous darling.
Port Douglas though, is stunningly beautiful. Just a tad north of Ellis Beach, and 70 km north of Cairns. The main street is jam packed with (very over-priced) t shirts, ornaments, doo-hickies and doo-dads no one needs. Dining seems like a past time, and varied in price, quality and selection. Lonely Planet guide book recommends The Tin Shed
Back to the guide book; Deli On Grant at the other end of the little downtown area next on the list. A $55 lunch gives two hamburgers,(pressed matter, not beef, but good anyway) with toppings of beetroot, lettuce, onion, tomato & sauce (no fries etc); also, two plates of Calamari & Chips, one coffee & one non-alcoholic fruit drink.
But the area is breathtaking.
The girls wandered off to window shop and pick up some postcards. Brian & I headed the other direction, the beach, and found a concrete staircase that goes up for a better view of 4-Mile Beach.
After a couple of hours we headed back out of town; not without a bit more driving around the south area of town to check out 5 homes for rent. Some good, most really, but all too far from the hub for us, without a vehicle, to really consider for our month of October in Australia. Back to the drawing board on that one.

The well-known journalist had served as the city government's press secretary, was a founder of the news site Midianews, and wrote an opinion column for another news website, Olhar Direto. The Committee to Protect Journalists called on Brazilian authorities today to thoroughly investigate his murder and bring those responsible to justice.

There's been much celebration on both sides of the Atlantic this week commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the historic Summit Series between Team Canada and the Soviet National Team. But when the names of Canada's biggest heroes get listed, the usual suspects have usually been Paul Henderson, Phil Esposito and a few others. With the exception of Ken Dryden, however, the contributions of members of the Canadiens often get overlooked.
Not by Todd Denault, however.
One of the bright new hockey historians on the scene, the Cobourg, Ontario, resident is the author of two excellent hockey history books, one an acclaimed 2009 biography of Jacques Plante, the other the story of the Habs legendary 1975 New Year's Eve game against CSKA, the Soviet Red Army team ( and has a third on the way, A Season In Time, which chronicles the unforgettable 1992-93 NHL season, the last in which the Habs won the Stanley Cup).
It's in his 2010 book, The Greatest Game, which details both the history of Soviet hockey and that of the Canadiens leading up to the 1975 New Year's Eve contest, where Denault pays particular attention to the Summit Series and he calls the Montreal contingent within Harry Sinden's club "The team within the team."
Six Habs were on the squad, more than any other NHL club, three forward, two defencemen and a goaler. And five of the six — Pete Mahovlich, Yvan Cournoyer, Guy Lapointe, Serge Savard and Dryden –played crucial roles in the triumph, coming up with significant performances when it mattered most. Only Frank Mahovlich, a Hall of Famer, played below his usual form. Denault explores the possibility that the Big M, who later in life acknowledged emotional struggles, became mentally unglued as the series moved on.
Denault writes, "In the media, most of the credit will be given to the scoring exploits of Paul Henderson and the dogged tenacity of Phil Esposito. But without the contributions of the Montreal contingent, it's quite possible Team Canada would not have grasped the ultimate victory."
Denault traces each of their stories and their roles in the series, providing great insight into each. He talks of Dryden's bouts with self-doubt; of Pete Mahovlich's transformation into an aggressive player a few years prior the series following a discussion with teammate John Ferguson (who would be Sinden's assistant coach and undoubtably aided in the club selection); of Savard's battles with injury, which transformed him from a rushing defenceman who many compared favorably to Bobby Orr into more of an exceptional force in his own end; of Lapointe's belief that he wasn't really good enough for the NHL, much less an elite team like the one who faced the Soviets; of young Cournoyer's tutelage under Habs coach Toe Blake, making him more of a complete player; and of reports that Frank Mahovlich grew so paranoid in Moscow that he discovered a metal object under the rug and, fearing it was a listening device planted by the KGB, unscrewed it, only to release a chandelier from its ceiling moorings on the floor below.
Their timely big plays propelled Team Canada, starting with Pete Mahovlich's shorthanded Game 2 tally in Toronto 2 as they clung to a 2-1 lead, having dropped Game 1 at the Forum, a national disaster. Sinden called it, "a goal I'll never forget, an uplifting moment for the team in a game we urgently needed to win."
It was in Game 5 that the Montreal group began to assert themselves. After the Game 1 defeat, Dryden was replaced by Tony Esposito. He'd go back in for Game 4 in Vancouver and lost there as well. He'd surrendered 12 goals in those six periods. A Game 1 scratch, Savard was injured in Game 3 in Winnipeg. Thought to be a bone bruise, it turned out to be a hairline fracture of his ankle and figured to be out a month. But he somehow managed to make it to Moscow for the second part of the series. Having already dropped three of the five games played, Sinden desperately inserted both in the lineup for Game 6. The speedy Cournoyer scored a key goal which gave Canada a lead they'd never surrender.
Dryden was named one of the contest's top stars. Savard and Lapointe stabilized the back end and set up offensive chances. The Toronto Star's Jim Proudfoot noted after Canada's Game 7 win that it was no coincidence that Canada had won three of the four games in which Savard played. In that contest, the work of Lapointe and especially Savard to lug the puck out of zone and get it to Henderson, who made a magnificent rush for the late third period winner, had much to do with Proudfoot's sentiment.
The historic Game 8 was climaxed by Henderson's last-minute game winner, but this time it was Cournoyer who made the unsung play and helped make Henderson the hero. The Road Runner had scored the goal that tied the game at 5-5 midway through the third, but at the end he found himself in the neutral zone along the far boards and the puck on his stick.
He shot it into the Soviet zone and tiring, he recalled Blake's advice that if the score is tied late in the third period, the puck is in the offensive zone and you are tired in the neutral zone, get off the ice. But Cournoyer hesitated because of the width of the international-sized ice surface at Luzhniki Ice Palace in Moscow. He didn't know if he could get off and not jeopardize his team. So he moved into the zone instead.
Soviet defenseman Valeri Vasiliev cleared it up the boards in the direction it had come from and it went right back to Number 12. A surprised Cournoyer, just inside the blue line, saw Henderson coming off the bench and flying goalward. He fired it toward Henderson to start the play that led to what some call "The goal of the century" by Henderson to give Canada the series win.
Here's video — not the best quality — but it has both Cournoyer's goal and his shot from the boards that led to Henderson's famous tally.
"I often think," Cournoyer later told hockey historian Brian McFarlane, "if I hadn't changed my mind on that final shift what would have happened? If I hadn't stayed on the ice, there wouldn't have been a Paul Henderson goal. Who would have been over by the boards to intercept the puck? Who would have kept the puck in the zone?"
Could be the Forum Ghosts traveled with Team Canada to the Luzhniki Ice Palace.

U.S. Marine Corps Commandant, Medal of Honor Recipient Celebrate Future Marine Officers
POSTED ON: Friday, February 7, 2014 8:00 AM by MC2 Jonathan Correa
The Commandant of the Marine Corps spoke at a dinner and reception Feb. 6 for the 270 Naval Academy midshipmen of the Class of 2014 selected to enter the U.S. Marine Corps.
During his speech, Gen. James F. Amos told the story of 2011 Medal of Honor recipient Marine Sgt. Dakota Meyer, who also attended the event.
Meyer received the medal in recognition of his heroic actions during the Battle of Ganjgal on Sept. 8, 2009, in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. While under heavy enemy fire, Meyer helped evacuate two dozen Afghan soldiers from an ambush and recovered the bodies of four U.S. team members who had been cut off from their fellows.
"The story about Sgt. Dakota Meyer shows you the type of men and women you will be leading," Amos said to the midshipmen. "If you don't take anything else out of what I've talked about tonight, this is about honor and character. This is what I need of you. This is what your fellow Marines expect of you."
For Midshipman 1st Class Colleen Randolph, selected to be a Marine ground officer, Amos' remarks affirmed her desire to be a Marine.
"What struck me most about his speech was that he continually stressed the importance of those enlisted we are about to be given the opportunity to lead," added Randolph. "Because the enlisted that we lead and the country that we serve deserve nothing less than our best."
Marines from around the Naval Academy and fleet came to support the new future Marine Corps officers and to answer any question they may have about the fleet.
"I was floored by the number of Marine Corps officers in attendance who went out of their way to celebrate with us tonight," said Randolph. "Not only is this a testament to the Class of 2014 but to the Marine Corps officers on the yard and their positive impact on our class."
Midshipmen interested in the Marine Corps must meet and exceed the physical, mental and moral requirements expected of a Marine Corps officer. After several physical screenings during the mids' second-class year, Marines from around the Yard meet and interview each candidate. Selected midshipmen attend Leatherneck summer training in Quantico, Va., or a Marine Air-Ground Task Force training command."I am beyond thrilled to have been selected for a commission as a Marine Corps officer," said Randolph. "It's as though you are a receiving an invitation to the world's greatest club, a new family even, and I cannot wait to have an impact."

9th July 2013 – Artists works have long been recognized for their unique beauty. From clothing designs to paintings, jewelry, and home good products, there's simply nothing that can entirely match the unique style that a handmade work of art provides. However, actually finding these products is a little more challenging, since it can be hard to know where local artists actually sell their goods. BlueZelia offers a solution to this problem, and is proud to announce a new online store that showcases the products of local artists and artisans.
Unlike most online stores, blueZelia doesn't focus on mass produced products. In fact, many of the works of art and handmade home goods offered on the site are one-of-a-kind items that, once sold, are gone forever. Due to this, the stock of the store rotates on a very frequent basis, making each visit to blueZelia a brand new shopping experience.
For every artisan product that blueZelia sells, a portion goes directly to support the local artists. This helps customers feel better about where their money is going; instead of being funneled into a massive operation that churns out identical products by the thousands (or more), supporting local artists allows them to focus on a degree of creativity, craftsmanship, and personal touches that mass-produced products simply can't match.
The blueZelia store is proud to offer a wide variety of products for visitors to choose from, and these have now been divided into several different categories. The Home Goods section features items such as vases, picture holders, cups, and similar everyday items that can add a touch of art to daily life. The Jewelry section offers, earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, and other items that express the artists unique style and design.
Following these two sections is the Clothing and Accessories category, which offers scarves, bags, and clothing. Of course, the store would not be complete without a section for original paintings and photography. There are many talented artists represented in this category.
Since the day it was founded, blueZelia has worked to support local artists and showcase their works for all to see. Customers can select a one-of-a-kind item for themselves or purchase something special to give as a gift; either way, they can look forward to getting their beautifully packaged selection shipped directly to their home.
Visit bluezelia.com to view their beautiful selection of art and artisan products.
Adrian and Kat Rodriguez value self-expression and creativity, feeling the results are inspiring and enriching to the lives of all. They created Art to support local artist as well as offer online shoppers an alternative to mass produced products.

Funfest a big hit on its final Friday
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - The streets of downtown Kingsport, Tenn. were packed Friday as people turned out for the final Friday of Funfest. Thousands gathered for the concert series, hoping the weather would hold up.
Vendors lined the streets and festival-goers packed the grass, as they've been doing since FunFest first began in 1981.
It's a week-long celebration with a goal "to promote unity, harmony, fellowship and cooperation among people in the greater Kingsport area." And it's a huge hit every year, despite some heavy rain this week.
Steve Caldwell says he's been coming for years to get together with friends, to meet, socialize, picnic, and just have fun.
And that's what Funfest is all about -- fun -- and seeing some great concerts, of course.
Friday night's headliner was country star Hunter Hayes. Fans lined up all day to get the best seat in the house.
Joe Byrd tells us he staked out his prime spot since 7 a.m. that morning. As a matter of fact, he says he's been the first in line for three years now for both big concerts.
Other favorites Friday included Taste of Tri-Cities, Pickin' in the Park, and the hot air balloon glow.
You can always find tasty treats at FunFest. Local vendors lent a helping a hand, especially in the high heat. "I've been handing out water all day," Jennifer Carroll told us. "It should pick up when the concert gets going. It should be really busy."
FunFest wrapped up Saturday night with the biggest band Eastman has ever brought to FunFest: Chicago, along with opening act Gavin DeGraw.

Badr Hari Has One Fight Left on LEGEND Contract, Considering the Future
- Written by Dave Walsh
The name Badr Hari can stir up some strong emotions in Kickboxing fans. Some fans are filled with bloodlust and are instantly excited by the very idea of Badr Hari, while others look at him and see a guy who has done more harm than good to the sport. As with everything, there is usually some truth somewhere in the middle. Badr Hari fights again on November 8th in LEGEND against Alexey Ignashov in a fight that fans are looking forward to just to see Badr Hari get another win.
Sadly, for fans in America, there will be no official way to view the event, as there are no plans for a stream to be available or television deals in place. According to a recent interview with Badr Hari he has one fight left on his contract with LEGEND and is considering either signing another contract with LEGEND or going to GLORY. If the rumors are at all true, GLORY has been in on and off talks with Badr Hari, but doesn't seem interested as long as his legal problems persist. My best guess would be that getting him into the US to fight would be a nightmare.
Badr also stated that he had 2 - 3 years left in his career before he wishes to retire, citing that watching his daughter grow up is a priority.

After cranking out over 10 gallons of honey in the 2 frame, hand-crank extractor this summer - I'm over it!! There are several hives with that still have surplus honey on them (two deeps, two mediums - three of which are capped honey). Is there a detriment to just leaving those supers on?
I also have some single deep nucs which I have been feeding honey. Could I alternatively just plop those mediums on deserving nucs?
Also, whereas I once though that I also wanted hand-crank extractor - being all luddite and whatnot... NO WAY! Instead, I'll come up with a turnstile horsepower HAHA!! Until then, I'll plug it in!

National Park
Campaign for a Park
Almost from their discovery, coast redwoods inspired people to seek their preservation. Success first came in 1902 with creation of Big Basin Redwoods State Park in a campaign led by the Sempervirens Club. National protection for redwoods was won in 1908 when President Theodore Roosevelt set aside Muir Woods National Monument under the Antiquities Act of 1906. Those lands were bought by Congressman William Kent for donation to the Federal Government for their preservation.
The Save-the-Redwoods League was organized in 1918. Deeply concerned by the rapidly diminishing old growth redwoods, the group pressed the preservation cause. Within two years it purchased four pieces of redwoods land. The League sought and won formation of the California State Park System and its State Park Commission. Equally important, it secured a state system of matching private parkland acquisition funds with state bond issues. The League and countless concerned citizens helped establish more than 280 memorial groves, a public-spirited practice which continues to the present time.
Nearly 90 years of spirited advocacy finally bore fruit in 1968 when Congress created Redwood National Park.
- Its boundaries include three state parks:
- Jedediah Smith,
- Del Norte Coast, and
- Prairie Creek.
Redwood National Park
California boasts more people than any other state, but you wouldn't guess that by its rugged North Coast. Nature drives hard bargains in this region, which has been historically isolated by harsh weather and precipitous shorelines. The terrain here is so rough it is no wonder that it took Jedediah Smith, the first European to trek here overland, ten days just to cover the last few kilometers to the coast in 1828. This forbidding character helped protect magnificent coast redwood groves until gold fever 20 years later brought eventual settlement. After 1850, red (wood) "gold" lured loggers away from depleted eastern forests. Logging remains the major industry today. Although many giant trees have been cut, some are under the protection of Redwood National Park, which stretches for 80 kilometers (50 miles) in northern California almost to Oregon.
Winds off the vast Pacific, still bearing its fragrance, become landbound here. They drive the surf that pummels beach and sea-cliffs. They bear rains, too. Near here 442 centimeters (174 inches) of rain were recorded over one winter; 117 centimeters (46 inches) in one month. The rain can transorm rivers into raging torrents. In 1964 the Klamath River, normally 0.6 meters (2 feet) deep in summer, raged to 27 meters (90 feet) in December and completely destroyed the town of Klamath.
The rains support an astounding richness in the park's myriad habitats. The Pacific Fly-way brings birds during spring and fall migrations; the park boasts 300 species, about half associated with water. Off shore, marine mammals migrate, particularly gray whales. You can also watch for other whales, porpoises, seals, and sea lions. Roosevelt elk are the most commonly seen mammals, and mountain lions, the most elusive of predators, stalk blacktail deer. Rare and endangered species include gray whales, bald eagles, peregrine falcons, brown pelicans, and the Aleutian Canada goose. Richness? The intertidal zone alone boasts 168 invertebrate species. River otters, mink, and beaver frequent freshwater habitats. Fifteen of western North America's 22 salamander species are found here-but just one poisonous snake. The Northern Pacific rattlesnake is rare and occurs only inland.
Many votes for most popular creatures go to five game fish. Sport and commercial fishermen ply freshwater and saltwater for silver and king salmon, and rainbow, coast cut-throat, and ste head trout. There is far more to Redwood National Park than its spectacular trees.
The Coast Redwood
The coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) towers over all other trees in the world. At 112.1 meters (367.8 feet) the coast redwood discovered on the banks of Redwood Creek by the National Geographic Society in 1963 was the tallest known tree and played an important role as a rallying point for the park's establishment in 1968 and expansion in 1978. The giant sequoias, cousins to the coast redwoods, grow larger in diameter and bulk, but not as tall. Coast redwoods survive to be about 2,000 years old-perhaps half the age of giant sequoias-and average probably 500-700 years. The living tree has no known killing diseases, and the insects associated with it cause no significant damage. Fire is the worst natural foe, but usually to young trees which lack the thick bark protection. As with most conifers, redwoods lack a taproot, and their broad shallow root system sometimes provides inadequate support for the massive trunk. Wind topples many mature trees.
The first record of the redwood was written by Fray Juan Crespi in 1769. Its botanical discoverer was Archibald Menzies, whose collections are dated 1794. The name "redwood" comes from the first, Spanish, description of the huge trees, Palo Colorado, meaning "red trees."
Prolific Producers
Cones form on the tips of upper branches. Mature cones are reddish brown, woody, and slightly oval. Seeds are about three times the size of a pinhead; 125,000 form one pound. Sprouts bear cones at 20 years because they draw on the parent root system. Seedlings take longer to bear cones. Cones mature in one year and ripen in August and September to release seeds. Only 1 out of 10 seeds will germinate.
The Role of Fog
In the Age of Dinosaurs, redwood species were dominant over much of the Northern Hemisphere, including what is now the Arctic. The climate was then humid and mild over a much larger region than today. Over millenia climate change reduced redwood habitat.
The abundant moisture and moderate temperatures of coastal northern California and extreme southern Oregon allow the redwood to flourish. This ocean-moderated climate is very humid; average yearly rainfall measures between 63 and 310 centimeters (25 to 122 inches). But annual precipitation seems less important than the frequent summer fog.
The passage of warm, moist marine air over the cold surface waters of the Pacific creates fog here almost daily in summer. It frequently lasts until afternoon, when it burns off. Another fog bank may move in before sunset.
The fog decreases the trees' loss of water through evaporation and transpiration and adds moisture to the soil. So the coast redwood is generally restricted to this coastal fog belt.
Thick Bark
Redwood bark, soft and stringy-fibrous, varies in color from red-brown to grayish. On mature trees it grows to 30 centimeters (1 foot) in thickness. The thick bark protects the tree from fire damage. Repeated hot fires can burn through the bark, and the tree's core may then rot out. These hollowed-out trees are called "goose pens" because early settlers kept poultry in them.
Growing New Trees
Air-borne on narrow, lateral wings, a redwood seed only 3 millimeters long (1/8 inch) drops to the ground from a ripe cone. It will fall within 60-120 meters (200 to 400 feet) of the parent tree. Within a month, warm, moist soils may stimulate it to germinate. If it is on suitable, fresh, mineral soil it will root itself. After its first leaves appear it begins to manufacture its own food. Under optimum conditions the seedling may grow 5 to 7.5 centimeters (2-3 inches) the first year.
Coast redwoods also reproduce by stump sprouting. This gives them a great reproductive advantage over species that reproduce only by seeds. If a redwood is felled or badly burned, a ring of new trees sprouts from burls around the base of the trunk. Burls develop from buds which do not elongate into shoots. These dormant buds grow into a wart-like mass which may sprout if the tree is damaged. If they sprout, the parent tree's roots are used by the saplings.

Rock Bridge High School bus misses route Monday
District, First Student looking at changes to avoid another mishap
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A school bus bound for Rock Bridge High School in Columbia left students standing in the rain Monday morning.
Kirk Powell contacted ABC 17 News when the bus failed to show up long after the scheduled 8:18 a.m. time. He said he had to drive his son to school after a conference call.
"I got him there at 10, so he was right at about an hour late," Powell said. "He missed his first class."
Powell's son was one of several at the stop on Laredo Trail and Saddle Ridge in Columbia's Thornbrook neighborhood. He said his son's tardiness had been excused for his first class.
Michelle Baumstark, community relations director for Columbia Public Schools, told ABC 17 News Monday afternoon the district had called on an unusual number of substitute bus drivers because of morning Music Extravanganza activities at the Hearnes Center.
Baumstark said the district had not planned on the overlap of getting students to those activities while picking up high school students because of the new start times.
She said district leaders would now look at future event start times to avoid overlap and avoid using that man substitute bus drivers.
" I don't want to beat them up," Powell said. "But at the same time, I don't want my kid standing on the corner freezing, it's going to be cold before long."
Stephanie Creech of First Student, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, said the company was still investigating what happened Monday. It would decide what action to take once the exact cause of the mishap was determined.
"We will take steps to improve performance going forward," she said. "The safety of all students we transport is a core value."
Columbia Public Schools and First Students said they had been contacting parents on the route Monday to apologize and discuss concerns.

Missing Aurora teen found, parents worry she's sex trafficking victim
Raven Cassidy Furlong found in California
LOS ANGELES - A missing 18-year-old from Aurora has been located in California, but still has not been reunited with her family.
Raven Cassidy Furlong was last seen by her parents on February 5th. Her family says that on April 5th, a woman in Venice, CA called police because she spotted Raven and was concerned about her.
According to Venice311.org, Raven was spotted at tryouts for reality show "American Ninja Warrior.
"I'm fine," she told a NBCLA photographer. "Everybody can leave me alone because I've been fine and I am fine."
Police took Raven in for questioning, but released her after she said she didn't want to go back to Colorado.
"Raven was released against the request of her concerned family and police removed her officially as a missing person according to the LAPD," Raven's family said in a statement. "The family still believes Raven may be a trafficked victim and are consulting with experts this week."
Her family says they believe Raven is in danger and is being trafficked throughout the California corridor of the 5-freeway.
Raven is one of three missing women from Colorado who have online modeling profiles.
Kara Nichols, 19, of Colorado Springs has been missing since Oct. 9. She told her roommates she was going to Denver for a modeling job and disappeared.
Kelsie Schelling, 22, of Denver, was last seen Feb. 4. She's believed to be in Pueblo where her boyfriend lives. Her abandoned car was discovered in Pueblo without any clues to her whereabouts.
Both Raven and Kara have online modeling profiles on the site Model Mayhem.
The owner of Model Mayhem, Internet Brands, said in an emailed statement that it cooperates with all law enforcement investigations involving people on the site.
"Model Mayhem strongly believes that safety should be top of mind when doing anything online. Because there are scams on the Internet, Model Mayhem tries to educate users about scams and how to avoid them. The site offers detailed safety advice to help members understand what to look for when they are contacted by others," said public relations manager Joe Ewaskiw.
Law enforcement has said they are considering the missing womens' modeling aspirations in their investigations, but have not linked the online profiles to any of the disappearances.

Abercrombie Looks Fashionable After Wells Fargo Upgrade
Clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) is trendy with investors today following favorable commentary and an upgrade to Outperform by Wells Fargo analyst Paul Lejuez yesterday.
Additionally, Lejuez lifted the valuation range of Abercrombie to $56-$60 a share and pointed to several upcoming positive factors in his Abercrombie note, including a robust future in the international segment:
The company has done all the right things in managing its business recently, in our view. With trends now stabilizing, we believe there is significant room for EBIT margin improvement, driven by the U.S. business. Internationally, we believe Abercrombie's opportunities remain attractive, led by mall-based Hollister. With the highest free cash flow in our universe, we believe the company is likely to begin actively returning cash to shareholders, which could provide a catalyst for the stock.
Lejuez's sentiments were well-received by investors and Abercrombie was up 6.5% in Tuesday afternoon trading, at just over $52 a share.

Dos and Don'ts
Attire: Feel free to dress casually. Perhaps as a consequence of the weather—sweltering in summer, freezing in winter—Chicagoans have a practical sartorial style. "Even at the theater it's OK to wear khakis."—Lisbeth Levine, contributing editor, InStyle magazine.
Neighborhoods: Explore the neighborhoods. Chicago is officially home to 77 neighborhoods; unofficially there are hundreds of micro-hoods with character. "To experience Chicago you need to go out into the neighborhoods."—Valerie Moloney, Chicago editor, Citysearch.com. "Pick a language and you can go to a neighborhood where only that language is spoken; not just Spanish, but Swedish!"—Peter Sagal, Chicago NPR radio host.
Seasons: Heed the cultural calendar. If coming for theater and the performing arts, "summer tends to be a bit less busy."—Hedy Weiss, theater critic, Chicago Sun-Times. Peak arts seasons are fall and spring. Festival season is summer.
Al Capone: Don't mention Al Capone. Residents cringe at the thought that the city is remembered for its Prohibition-era gangster antics. Of course, if you can be humorous about it, give it your best shot, á la: "There was no need to inform us of the protocol involved. We were from Chicago and knew all about cement."—Comedian Groucho Marx.
Phrase Book
The Chicago way of speaking has more to do with accent than invention. The A's are flat and Th's are often made Ds. "The accent smells of sport peppers and tar and brick and steel and common sense."—Peter Sagal, Chicago NPR radio host. Here are some terms unique to the city:
Chicagoland: The Chicago metro area, including the suburbs
Chi-Town: Chicago, pronounced "shy-town," though rarely spoken by a resident
Dragged through the garden: A hot dog with all the trimmings, including yellow mustard, neon green relish, onion, sport peppers, tomato wedges, and dill pickle spear
Hizzoner: The mayor, usually the first Mayor Richard J. Daley but also used to reference his son and current Mayor Richard M. Daley
The Hawk: The wind off Lake Michigan, especially in winter
The L: The Chicago Transit Authority's mass-transit train system, both elevated (the origin of "el" or L) and underground
The Loop: The downtown district
The prairie: An empty city lot
Trixie, Chad: Generally derogatory terms for pretty, shallow, upwardly mobile young women (Trixies) and men (Chads), usually residing in the Lincoln Park neighborhood

Hunter's Chicken is found across Northern Italy, with many variations. This version uses meaty bone-in chicken thighs and is full of onions, mushrooms and tomatoes. It's also delicious served over egg noodles.
Nutrition Profile:
Heart Healthy
High Potassium
Low Sat Fat
Serves 8
Prep Time 60 min
Total Time 150 min.
Step 1
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until the onions are very soft and translucent, 2 to 4 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the onions to a bowl; set aside. Remove the pot from the heat.
Step 2
Place flour in a shallow dish. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour. Gently shake off any excess.
Step 3
Cook the chicken in 2 batches in the Dutch oven, using 1 tablespoon oil for each batch. Cook over medium-high heat, turning once, until browned on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Step 4
Pour wine (or vermouth) into the pot and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, for 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms, tomatoes, broth, bay leaves and rosemary. Return the reserved onions to the pan. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices, making sure each piece is partially submerged. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover the pan and cook, gently stirring once or twice, until the chicken is very tender, about 1 hour.
Step 5
Meanwhile, combine cornmeal, water and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Partially cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and very creamy, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, while you finish the stew.
Step 6
Remove the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Bring the liquid in the pan to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Skim or blot any visible fat from the surface. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Return the chicken to the pan.
Step 7
Gently stir in basil. Serve the stew over the polenta.

For your wife, whom I must presume has has little handgun experience as yourself, get a revolver. A Smith and Wesson K-frame in 38 special. She will be able to learn to shoot it most easily, and it will be safe for her. K- frames fit a woman's hand just fine too.
If you attempt to force some high powered caliber on her and she is not going to become a dedicated shooter, you are making a big mistake. Give her something that she can use when and if she needs it.

Lindsey Graham on Koran-burning: "Free speech is a great idea, but we're in a war"
posted at 4:00 pm on April 3, 2011 by Allahpundit
Skip ahead to 2:05, bearing in mind that this guy might have ended up as Attorney General under President McCain. A few minutes earlier, Harry Reid told Schieffer that Congress will "take a look" at Jones's act and the ensuing "protests" in Afghanistan, so at a minimum there'll probably be some sort of congressional resolution of disapproval. Maybe hearings too: Reid wouldn't commit to that, but he didn't rule it out. As for Graham, "I wish we could find some way to hold people accountable," he laments, clearly deflated by the thought that the First Amendment applies even while we're "at war." And if you're not sure what he means by "at war" — well, I'm not either. Are we "at war" only if troops are in the field? No Koran-burning, in other words, until the last U.S. serviceman has left Iraq and Afghanistan (and Libya)? Or are we "at war" as long as Al Qaeda and other anti-American jihadist movements exist, ready and willing to demagogue acts like Jones's for their own uses? Even if all Islamist outfits in the world were eliminated, wouldn't Graham want to continue the ban on Koran-burning lest it inspire new jihadist outfits to spring up? There's no limiting principle to this idea, realistically. It'd end up being his own version of an "emergency law."
Ironically, though, the more attention Congress devotes to this, the worse they'll make it. If Reid and Graham were stupid enough to hold hearings (which they almost certainly aren't), it'd be a galactic clusterfark — a spotlight for Jones, a red alert for civil libertarians, and an offense to a public that's tired of double standards for religious insults. If nothing else good comes from this incident, though, it's at least been useful as a window into the mindset of our trusted "ally" Hamid Karzai, who did his level best to earn brownie points with the fanatics among his constituents by demagoging this to the hilt. As voters get set for another debate this summer about whether we should draw down in Afghanistan, make sure that isn't forgotten.

Emily Fire Department takes on grass fires
Emily Fire Chief Kenny Roden reported responding to two grass fires Tuesday, May 14. At 6:20 p.m. the department responded to a call for a fire off Blue Lake Road, which Roden said burned 5-10 acres.
Roden said the fire started north of a gravel pit. While he was unsure of the cause, he said there had been burning at the site a month or so ago, and that it's possible stumps had been smoldering underground.
No people or buildings were harmed. Fifty Lakes and Crooked Lake departments also responded to the fire.
The department left the scene at 9:30 p.m. May 14, only to be called for mutual aid an hour later to a grass fire near Crooked Lake. Roden believes that fire was started by two high-wire electric lines that hit each other in the wind. The lines were under construction at the time.
That fire burned around 2.3 acres, and no people or buildings were harmed. The fire department finished their work around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 15, Roden said.
A red flag warning had been issued by the National Weather Service when both fires occurred May 14. Red flag warnings are issued when conditions present a high potential for fire due to high winds and low humidity.

[Article]-Book Review: Practical Packet Analysis, Second Edition
Permanent link: [Article]-Book Review: Practical Packet Analysis, Second Edition
Review by J. Oquendo AKA sil
"Practical Packet Analysis: Using Wireshark to Solve Real World Problems" is a decent book for readers who are relatively new to networking. It makes a great addition for someone in the one-to-three year range of their career. Whether this career is security-centric, network administration, or simply as a hobbyist, Chris Sanders made great work of keeping things simple yet informative for his readers. While this is a plus for the entry person, it is also its minus for the seasoned pro.
The beginning of the book gives an overview of the OSI layer, which I have found many in the IT industry skimp on. Whether you are in networking, systems, programming or the security arena, understanding the interconnections of protocols and how they operate with one another across the layers should be the first and foremost knowledge one should memorize. Because Chris took the time and brought this out at the forefront, it will be beneficial to the reader, which once again I feel would be a junior administrator. Let's get into some more details after the break.

New Zealand Mud Snails
Help stop the spread of invasive mud snails
New Zealand mud snails are attacking Kelsey and Valley creeks. These invasive snails may be tiny, but they reproduce at anything but a snail's pace, spreading rapidly by cloning, and damaging habitat as they spread. The snails have little nutritional value and crowd out native invertebrates that fish and other aquatic life eat.
New Zealand mud snails have been found in only one other stream in the Lake Washington area, to date--Thornton Creek in Seattle. Able to live for weeks on damp gear, the snails can be easily transported by people, which is probably how they got to Bellevue.
There is no way to control these fast-growing snails once established. That's the bad news. The good news is that residents can help prevent their spread.
The City of Bellevue has develped a mobile application for tracking New Zealand Mud Snails in Bellevue and surrounding areas. Check the map to find where the snails have been observed and their infestation levels.
Check out the types of infestation levels in Bellevue and snail identification information.
Visit Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife's website for more information on New Zealand Mud Snails and proper decontamination procedures.

Ted Talks comes to Ammon
AMMON, Idaho - The popular conference, Ted Talks gets millions of online viewers each year and thousands attend the bi-annual event.
A local group, inspired by Ted Talks decided to start a local conference in Ammon.
The point of the talks are to bring together interesting people who are challenged to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less.
Ted Talks is a nonprofit devoted to "Ideas worth spreading." It started in 1984 as a conference to bring together people from different industries.
The talks range from inspirational, to moving and funny.
"She's going to learn that this life is going to hit your hard in the face," said Sarah Kay, a national Ted Talks speaker.
Most talks reflect on life experiences, with a little bit of humor.
"When I was in my 20s I saw my first psychotherapy client. She was there to talk about guy problems. When I heard this, I was so relieved. My classmate got an arsonist for her first client," said Meg Jay a national Ted Talk speaker.
The talks have gotten enormously popular and have included many famous faces such as actress Jane Fonda, Ariana Huffington, Bill Gates and Bono.
"Anderson asked me if I could put the last 25 years of anti-poverty into 10 minutes for Ted. That's an Englishman asking an Irishman to be succinct," said Bono, a national Ted Talk speaker.
The point of these talks is to share ideas and experiences.
Brad Christiensen is a big fan of Ted Talks, so he decided to create one in Ammon. He went through an application process to get approved to host a Ted Talks Conference. He's calling the event TEDxAmmon.
"Our community is surprisingly diverse. So that's what you'll see represented by the speakers that'll be at the event," said Christensen.
The speakers booked for the event have impressive backgrounds.
"I have three degrees in art. I went to medical school, didn't graduate medical school but got a degree in medical illustration. I've been a college professor and started two businesses of my own," said John Hart, who will be a speaker in Ammon.
The topics are equally interesting.
"My topic is going to be on the life cycle of creative movements," said Hart.
Like the national Ted Talks, these speakers have a way of adding their own flare to keep you interested for 18 minutes.
"My talk is on the importance of failure. I'm really good at it so it's a topic I can discuss well," said Tyler Price, a speaker in Ammon.
The group is finalizing the Ammon event and only 100 people will be able to attend.
"We're really after connectors, people who are in the community who will take the information and disseminate so that it gets a broader reach than just those 100 people. I think that's the point, sparking that kind of dialogue," said Chistensen.
Christensen asks if there is anyone who has attended a national ted talk to reach out to him, because someone who has attended a national conference can get the credentials to allow more people to attend the local one.
The Ammon event will live streamed.
Attendees will need to apply for a spot. The event will be held February 21 at Eastern Idaho Technical College.

Smart and Stylish in the Upper Valley
Hanover Inn • Hanover, NH
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Campus View Room
- $25 Food-and-Beverage Credit
- House-Made Whoopie Pie with Milk Upon Arrival
- Valet Parking
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The Destination
Hanover, New Hampshire, is set amid the pine forests of the Upper Connecticut River Valley. Though best known as the home of Dartmouth College, the town was named the sixth-best place to live in America by CNN's Money Magazine for lots of other reasons, too. Take the cultural offerings at the Hood Museum of Art or Hopkins Center for the Arts. Romantic Victorian architecture and green space make Hanover easy on the eyes, while downtown's mom-and-pop shops provide a healthy dose of rural New England charm. Venture beyond the city limits and you'll find winding trails for hiking and biking or travel 20 minutes north to the Dartmouth Skiway, where more than 100 skiable acres await during winter.
The Digs
Located across from The Green at Dartmouth College, the stylishly renovated Hanover Inn complements its historic background with modern amenities and a youthful local crowd. "The venerable white-and-brick Hanover Inn is one of the oldest lodgings in the region, yet it's also the Upper Valley's best-managed and most up-to-date luxury hotel—perfectly situated for exploring both the Dartmouth campus and the compact downtown," says Frommer's. Here, guest rooms boast marble bathrooms, beds topped with down comforters, and flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi.
"You can't beat how central the location is to campus (overlooks The Green) and the rooms are clean, modernized, and roomy. People working at the front desk were attentive and the lobby and rooms all have Wi-Fi."-- TripAdvisor

Intermediary liability
New publication!
Internet intermediary liability: Identifying best practices for Africa
Comparative study
The liability of internet intermediaries in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Uganda: An uncertain terrain
Workshop in South Africa
APC hosted an event in February 2014
Holding internet intermediaries liable is an increasing global trend that transfers the responsibilities of law enforcement, as well as of copyright enforcement, to internet service providers (ISP), both large and small. Internet intermediaries are therefore increasingly used to police and enforce the law on the internet and even to mete out punishments ranging from content control to user behavior.

So for those wondering, its the first 5 tasks you recieve upon entering the space. A regular race, a litter race, a photo race, an across the map race, and a fast pace race. You must be at "ranger level" to unlock all 5 tasks (i think its ranger, Im level 26).
If you fail a task, you can continue to finish the rest of the tasks but you must leave and re enter to activate the task(s) you missed. Hope this helps.
Ranger is Level 21.

The more I think about it, I want to see Ray Lewis have one last hurrah. And now that we're not in the playoffs and we're not going to see him embarrass Kerry Collins, we might as well see him carry that team (including Trent Flacco) to another SB. Would love to see him destroy Tom Brady too along the way, kinda like Strahan in his own last hurrah.
Pretty much no other team now that I'd want to root for except maybe the Pack or Houston. Pats, duh. Washington, duh. Don't wan't Seattle or Indy to win it anymore because a rookie QB winning the SB would anoint him the best QB in the history of football.
Don't want Denver winning either because then Eli wouldn't have the "i have more rings than him" argument and would once again be completely in Peyton's shadow. **** THAT.

My husband has high cholesterol which he can manage through his diet. However he now travels alot with work and as a result his cholesterol has increased again. Have any of you any ideas for some low cholesterol recipes that will travel? Even packed lunch recipes would be great.
Thank you!

Re: Cholesterol
Travel well for how long? For a packed lunch, calzone is great - just bread dough made into a pasty shape, filled with whatever you like but veg fillings work great. You can control the sat fat in the dough - which is one of the main issues with cholesterol, if I'm right?

If I drive over a bump, pot hole etc. the front wheels no problem but the back wheels I get this rattle, like metal on metal. I've looked under the back and have asked 3 different mechanics to look at it, can't figure it out. All I can only imagine is eather the parking brakes or the leaf springs, what I can tell you is when I drive with the windows down it drives me nuts.

I don't have one, but I did do a little digging on the various target 22s last year. I read comments and reviews on the neos, Walther P22, and the S&W target 22s - Walther P22 seems to have an extrordinary amount of problems, and even if you are problem free, it's not really as good of a target 22 as the Neos and S&W is.
Now, many people complained about the Neos trigger. Once again, no direct experience. Most people recommended spending closer to the $600-$700 mark to buy a better .22. If you do stay in this price range, however, the S&W is supposed to be the better gun. I looked into this because I too was lured by the look of the Neos last year.
All o this info is 2nd hand, though. Maybe someone here can tell U something different.

Since our summer weather has been rain, rain and more rain--and the hives have little to no honey stores, I started feeding them. I have seven hives and I have poured 15+ gal. of sugar water (10lb. sugar to 2 & 1/2 qt. water) into top hive feeders and they have eaten it in less than 10 days! Our weather has been hot (95*+ and very humid with little rain for a week). The bees are able to forge daily but they are taking the sugar water. Do I keep pouring the feed to them? How long should I continue?
Is there a source for sugar water already mixed up???? (I am buy sugar at Walmart 5lbs for 1.82)Thanks for the help Debbie

Faculty Honors: Richard Gambitta, Richard Utecht and Misty Sailors
By Shelley Kilpatrick
Student Writer, College of Liberal and Fine Arts
(May 10, 2007)--Associate Professor Richard Gambitta received the President's Distinguished Achievement Award for Teaching Excellence, Tenured Faculty and the Chancellor's Council Outstanding Teaching Award at the UTSA Faculty Honors Convocation May 3.

Associate Professor Richard Utecht also received the President's Distinguished Achievement Award for Teaching Excellence, Tenured Faculty.
Assistant Professor Misty Sailors was honored with the President's Distinguished Achievement Award for Teaching Excellence, Tenure-Track Faculty.
The convocation honors recipients of teaching, research and service awards and acknowledges recent retirees.------------------------------
Richard Gambitta
Richard Gambitta is an associate professor of political science and geography in the College of Liberal and Fine Arts and director of the Institute for Law and Public Affairs.
He is known for effective teaching to a broad range of students. This is evident in his continuously high teaching evaluation scores. His rank is often at the 5.0 level in the "excellent teacher" and "excellent course" categories.
According to one of his students, "Dr. Gambitta is the epitome of a great teacher. It's incredible how extensive his knowledge is. He is very dedicated to his students, in fact I've never had a better teacher."
Another student said, "Dr. Gambitta is by far the best professor I have had. His summer program awakened my once dormant seed of intellectualism. He motivates his students unlike anyone else."
He shows his support for students by writing letters of recommendation for 50 students per year.
Additionally, Gambitta wants all of his students to have the necessary materials for class, so he utilizes WebCT in ways that are quite unique. He puts vast amounts of course information on the Web site including the syllabus, case studies, copies of the Constitution and audio tapes of oral arguments, and he retains high attendance from students.
In addition to Gambitta's normal teaching duties, he and President Ricardo Romo initiated the Summer Law School Preparation Academy. He teaches two courses during the summer program, and his students acknowledge that this commitment has changed their lives.
His first class from the Summer Academy has now passed the bar exam and will contribute to more effective representation and justice in Texas.
One nominator for the Distinguished Achievement Award said, "His teaching, mentoring, caring and networking for his students have made an enormous difference. Richard Gambitta epitomizes what this award is all about."
Richard Utecht
Richard Utecht is associate professor in the Department of Marketing Department. He teaches three courses each semester and splits his time between the 1604 Campus and Downtown Campus.
In addition to his normal teaching schedule, he taught a fourth course, Freshman Seminar, for the Learning Communities Program and developed a Doctoral Teaching Seminar at the request of Lynda de la Vina, dean of the College of Business.
Utecht said, "After 25 years at the university level, I still consider teaching to be the most personally rewarding activity associated with being a college professor. Students who attend my classes to gain knowledge in the marketing discipline deserve an environment in which they can learn and express their creativity."
Utecht's approach to teaching hinges on two components -- motivate the student and provide a structured learning environment. He motivates the students by learning all their names immediately, role-playing, positive reinforcement, setting high goals, justifying the discipline and encouraging students to form their own learning communities outside of the classroom.
Additionally, he advises students about graduate school, interviewing techniques and resumes and gives general career counseling. He encourages students to develop a philosophy of their discipline. At the beginning of the semester, students learn to develop a mental framework of marketing that helps them to understand the entire field.
According to Utecht, "It is my goal that when the semester is finished the student will be rendered independent of me and able to paint their own picture of the discipline," said Utecht. "I am extremely pleased when students contact me after their graduation and express their appreciation."
Misty Sailors
Misty Sailors is an assistant professor in the Department of Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching. She stands out because of her deep concern for her students.
She develops her courses so that each of her students experiences success and gains the skills and knowledge to become effective classroom teachers. She not only teaches students how to educate others, she also teaches them how to build a community in the process.
Sailors has been a leader in the ILT department because of her innovative ways to deliver curriculum. She has been especially helpful in modeling ways to integrate technology into her teaching methods.
Sailors maintains high standards for her students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and mentors them for the professional role of teacher. But, beyond the classroom she works closely with them on research and writing skills.
She also mentors adjunct professors and lecturers in the department by meeting with them regularly to help them with methods and materials to meet the requirements for their courses to help them be successful.
Sailors consistently receives high scores on the student evaluations for her overall teaching quality, no matter what course she is teaching. Additionally, she received an award in 2004 from the Honors Alliance for "excellence in promoting intelligent living, meaningful learning and the ideas and virtues of academic integrity and honesty," and was nominated in 2005 by one of her undergraduate students for Who's Who Among America's Teachers.
According to one nominator, "Misty Sailors embodies the commitment and qualities of what we would like to see in all of our UTSA instructors. She is an outstanding teacher!"
