when you find a frame with queen cells can you cut out cells and put in little nuk box with brood and bees or are cells to delicate to be moved
The only problem with cutting them out and moving them, is you don't know how far along they are. If you move them when they are too small you could damage them. They can be damaged easily anyway. Also, if you put a queen cell in a queenless nuc with no protector they bees may just tear the cell apart. They didn't put it there so they think it doesn't belong. If you know it's about a day from hatching and you put a cell protector on it it should do fine. If you don't, you could just try taking the frame with the queen cell and a frame of emerging brood and a the bees shaken off of a frame or two in a nuc with some empty foundation and see if they finish the queen. That would proably work better. Then the bees on that frame DID put the cell there and the emerging ones go along with whatever is going on.
In regards to the age of the cell, keep a close watch on the bottom (where the queen emerges). As queen nears the time to hatch, the bees will make the cell bottom area thinner with the appearance of a brown paper bag. If you gently touch it, it has some "give" unlike the mottled wax cell it once was. I've even heard queens in my incubator chewing quite loudly just before emerging.
I'm with Mike...try to keep the cells where they are until you absolutely need to move them out. Don't wait too late, however, or you will run the risk of destroyed cells. I remember opening one of my cell finishers only to find nearly a dozen queens on the loose! I rescued most of them, but found it difficult to introduce virgins into mating nucs...they fare much better if allowed to hatch into the nucs.
I have heard instances of beekeepers placing the queens back into the cells and covering the opening with wax and allowing her to re-emerge into the nuc.
Hope your season is enjoyable,
Jim Littley
learn something new every day thanks
I hear you Jim. I had the same thing happen to me. Nine queens emerged nearly at the same time. The started destroying the others before I opened the finisher. That is the big reason I built an incubator. This way, I can cage them before emergence, then put them into mating nucs. I figure a drop of honey, mixed with pollen for food, since queens gorge themselves once loose from their cells.
But, you can move them, like Jim said, once the end is thin. Its something you must see firsthand, to understand. But, you can do the math, and figure out when they theorectically "should" emerge, and then move them into nucs. I have done that with success, but if you lack the proper timing, on that particular day, it can be disasterous, especially waiting 16 days till your "kids" hatch!

when you find a frame with queen cells can you cut out cells and put in little nuk box with brood and bees or are cells to delicate to be moved
Advice I read above given is very good for putting queen cells in another colony.
Another thing you might to do to prevent chewing down of cells on your frame where cells are, and to also see what you got, if you want to get picky and select, is to take some #8 mesh screening. Then make some small rectanglar or square push in cages about 3/4 inch high with overall diameter about 1" by 2" and simply push over the cells on frame if you can, individually seperating each queen cell.
Then simply let the virgins emerge in the push in cages on the frame. Then when out simply take and smoke hive good you are putting the queen in and close it up. This way you get a moving target and know the queen is physically in good shape.

What is naturopathy?
Naturopathic medicine is over 100 years old. There are more than 3,500 licensed naturopathic physicians (ND) in the United States and 7 accredited naturopathic medical schools.
From a diagnostic perspective, naturopathic medicine is a lot like conventional medicine. It uses blood work, imaging, and other well-researched diagnostic measures. The difference between conventional medicine and naturopathic medicine lies in the types of treatment. Naturopathic health care providers do not typically use prescription drugs as first-line therapy. Instead, they rely on natural and lifestyle therapeutics including dietary modifications, herbal medicine, homeopathy, exercise, nutritional supplements, acupuncture, and other naturally-oriented therapies.
Naturopathy's main goal is to use the natural healing power of the body to fight disease, also known as the Vis or life force. Diagnosis is made through lab tests, and medical exams, much like conventional diagnostic methods. Almost any illness can be treated by naturopathic health care providers. In some states, naturopathic doctors are considered primary care providers and may prescribe medications in a similar manner as medical doctors (MDs).
Naturopathic therapies may include:
Use of botanical medicine
Changes to nutrition
Oriental medicine
Hydrotherapy (use of water as a medical treatment)
Manipulative therapy
Naturopathic doctors often work in cooperation with other health care professionals, referring to MDs or other specialists when appropriate.

Raedeke enjoys church involvement
Laura Raedeke, of Nisswa, has been playing the pipe organ from a young age. Growing up in Lakefield, a small community near Worthington, she'd walk down the road to her church to practice in the afternoons and after Sunday services.
"It lives and breathes like a live being," Raedeke said of the organ. "It fills the room."
Organ isn't her only passion, though, as she's also a leader of the Lutheran Church of the Cross Creation Care Team, a group that promotes ways that people can live in support of the earth.
She's a member of Lutheran Church of the Cross, in Nisswa, and plays organ at both that church and another church, First Congregational United Church of Christ in Brainerd. She's been a church organist since she was 14.
Raedeke first learned piano from a local MacPhail School of Music-educated teacher. Looking back, she finds it surprising that in her small town the teacher had a Steinway baby grand piano, two upright pianos and a Hammond organ all in her living room.
Her family's piano was in the living room, but her parents later added a room to the house where Raedeke could practice without disturbing the rest of the family.
She began taking piano lessons at 11, and at 12 began to learn the organ.
"I had always loved organ music, growing up Lutheran," she said.
Today she writes her own organ music, participates in an area summer organ recital series and acts as accompanist to the Legacy Chorale of Greater Minnesota, as well as plays at church services.
Playing the organ isn't the only way that Raedeke's involved herself in her church community.
The Creation Care Team at Lutheran Church of the Cross came about after Raedeke attended an all-day seminar on the topic that the synod sponsored.
"It seems like human beings are always at war with the earth, and now we're seeing the consequences," she said. "It's really our nest. We do well when other things are doing well. If not, we suffer in the long run."
The team has undertaken many efforts, including a community garden behind the church with 58 raised beds. They're open to anyone, not just church members.
On Sundays in the summer the team hosts a sharing market. Tables are set up in the narthex and gardeners bring produce, bread and flowers. People purchase the items with a donation and all the money goes to the food shelf. Last year the sale raised $800.
"It's a great way to share the bounty from the garden," Raedeke said.
The Creation Care Team celebrates Earth Day by giving out seedlings to the congregation each year. They hold a harvest potluck in the fall with speakers who talk about some aspect of the food system and the health of the earth. This year the team hosted its first summer eco camp.
Recently the Creation Care Team began investigating the possibility of installing solar panels on the church. Raedeke said that's something the church congregation and church council would need to agree on, though.
While the project may or may not happen, Raedeke believes it would be a great way for the church to set an example for how people can reduce their carbon footprint.
Raedeke's also a board member for the Rosenmeier Center for state and local government. The Rosenmeier Center's mission is to inform, educate and encourage area citizens to participate in effective governance, among other efforts. The group holds forums throughout the year on issues affecting the area. It recently held a forum on healthcare in Brainerd.
Raedeke owns and operates the Raedeke Gallery in Nisswa with her husband, Jerry. Jerry's work as a painter was published by Hadley House in the Twin Cities, and the two researched the state for a place to establish a gallery. Nisswa had a desirable market, given Jerry's name recognition. They moved to the area in 2001.
Raedeke also contributes paintings to the gallery. Her paintings are generally landscapes, she said, with an abandoned rural building somewhere in the background.
"It's just sort of a haunting thing to see what rural life may have been like, and what is no longer," she said.
Raedeke continues her work in the church as organist and member of the church's choir from the balcony above the congregation. She makes sure the sound of the organ fills a sanctuary each Sunday.


text: I put my first package into a hive on saturday may 4th, let me just say WOW !!!! very exciting. Everything seems to be good so far, within in an hour they were pulling dead bees out of the hive. The next day they were leaving the hive and going to my apple trees about 1 bee every three seconds. My question is when do I open the hive to remove the queen cage. The rest of the week looks like clouds and rain, but still in the 70s in my area.

The Role of Tech-Prep Education in Preparing America's Future
(3) Allowable Uses of Tech-Prep Funds
On May 19, 2000, OVAE/DVTE Program Memorandum 2000-8 outlined the permissible uses of tech-prep funds. As noted in the memorandum, a State may reserve some of its tech-prep funds for the reasonable and necessary costs of administration but that amount generally would not exceed five percent of the State's total allotment and often might be less. All remaining funds must be awarded to eligible consortia for tech-prep education programs. A State may not reserve a portion of the State tech-prep allocation for State leadership activities such as curriculum or professional development, regardless of whether the State carries out these activities directly or by contracting with a third-party.
(4) Special Consideration for State funding decisions
As States make decisions about which programs to fund, they need to keep in mind that section 205(d) requires that States give special consideration to applications that:
provide for effective employment placement activities or the transfer of students to baccalaureate degree programs;
are developed in consultation with business, industry, institutions of higher education, and labor organizations;
address effectively the issues of school dropout prevention and reentry and the needs of special populations;
provide education and training in areas or skills in which there are significant workforce shortages, including the information technology industry; and
demonstrate how tech-prep programs will help students meet high academic and employability competencies.
(5) Quality Tech-Prep: A Strategy for Systemic Change
The Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) is committed to supporting State efforts to fully implement quality tech-prep programs consistent with the requirements of Title II of Perkins III. This commitment will be demonstrated through a variety of OVAE-led activities that are aimed at focusing attention on the statutory provisions applicable to tech-prep programs. These activities include: annual review of budget documents; collection and analysis of the State performance data; and on-site monitoring visits.
The statutory program requirements are at the heart of the effort to structure tech-prep programs to achieve measurable results. The Department is concerned that stronger links are needed between secondary and postsecondary components of tech-prep programs to meet the requirements of Title II of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998. States are required to comply with the law, and we expect to use various mechanisms to ensure that statutory requirements are met, taking into account the specific circumstances of each State. These mechanisms include conditional approval of program applications, imposing high-risk grantee status and special conditions on the grant award, providing partial funding of tech-prep programs through installment payments based on meeting specific conditions, compliance agreements, withholding part or all of program and administrative funds, and obtaining cease and desist orders when necessary. In short, the Department expects each State to abide by the commitments it made when it chose to receive tech-prep funds. We expect your agency's complete cooperation in this effort that meets our mutual goals of assisting students in the most effective ways.
If you have any questions, please contact Ron Castaldi at 202-205-9444.

Getting to the Root of PQ Problems
There's a huge variety of power monitors on the market today, most of which do a wonderful job of reporting when and what kind of power anomalies occur in a facility's distribution system, such as surges, sags, transients, and harmonics. But they stop short of identifying the root cause of the problem. That's where the ZM100 Distribution Analysis System from San Jose, Calif.-based Z Meters comes in.

|Okay... I'm a noob here, but I do kindof have a lot of experience in a number of disciplines, including appliance repair. ( I spent 3 years working for a local Ding & Dent store, rebuilding new damaged appliances for discount retail. Mostly gas ranges & dryers, some laundry, very little dishwasher)
I have a KA dishwasher which uses the PowerClean module; when I first took it in about 4 months ago it had just started leaking around the mainseal, so I did that service per the PowerClean Module Service Manual found on servicematters.com.
When I put it back together, I realized that I wasn't sure how the two drain check balls go, & the manual is very specifically useless on that point - no reference AT ALL except the diagram below, which shows BOTH check balls under the drain cover. As there is not enough room under the drain cover for both of them (the drain cover will only seat if ONE is placed in the center of the well shown in photo A) I looked closer, & determined that the mating surface on the bottom of the Separator/Filter assembly (Photo B) has a chamfered edge, indicating that it is in fact a seat for a check ball. Based on that, I assembled the unit with the drain check balls as shown in photo C, with one ball below the drain cover in the well in the lower pump housing, & one above the nipple in the drain cover opening so that it is free to seat against the chamfered hole in the bottom of the separator/filter assembly.
The dishwasher seemed to work okay this way, not great, sometimes upper rack not getting as clean as I'd like, but I just attributed it to careless stacking. Last week, it stopped cleaning in the upper rack at all, & lower rack washing became very poor. I took the unit apart this weekend, & found that the Separator/Filter Assy had split in half at the seam; probably from pressure buildup inside, as the screens were almost completely clogged with soil & scale.
At this point I have to ask myself "Did I put those checkballs in wrong, & could that have caused this failure?" I've got a new Separator/Filter from my local partshouse, but I really don't want to risk exploding it if I've assembled the pump incorrectly.
I guess my problem is this - I'm having a hard time visualizing the water flow through the Separator/Filter, & as such I can't see logically how the check valves work.
So, if any of you out there actually know, could you please tell me if the check balls go as shown in photo C, or if they go as shown in photo D? If they DO go as shown in photo D, then WHY are there 2 of them in that cavity? What purpose is served by that arrangement?
Do the check balls go in a different arrangement I haven't addressed here? If so, How?
I've read in posts across a number of forums by a number of technicians that this design is one of the best that Whirlpool ever came up with, & that if I'm having trouble with dishes not getting clean, there is definitely something WRONG - these dishwashers simply wash very well.
So, I'm asking for help from the forum - What do you know?
Thank you very much,

|Great job on the attachment! Post the model number and I may be able to get a more detailed diagram. Though, looking at the diagram you supplied, I'm wondering if you're missing a ball... in your powerclean filter module, that is. The diagram you posted shows three check balls: the top one is called out as simply the "ball check," while the bottom two earn the special moniker of "drain check balls." Did you reassemble all three in your module?

|Wow! A personal response from the Samurai himself!
*Proffers an ice-cold Kirin, then bows deeply from the waist* *NAMASTE*
Thanks... Yes, the KA manual (Found here)
is very clear on how to place the single ball check you refer to... it goes as shown in the diagram above, in a pocket in the inlet base which is attached to the bottom of the Separator/Filter. But for some reason, it makes no reference at all to the correct placement of the drain check balls, instead concentrating on the motor shaft alignment procedure/seal replacement, then moving right on to chopper assemby with the drain cover shown already installed.
My model # is: KUDR24SEBL3 , though the only reference I've been able to find anywhere on the service of the actual pump assembly itself has been the above manual.
Thanks for the quick response,

|OK, the diagram I found is only slightly more detailed that the one you posted and equally unilluminating. However, I think it's highly unlikely that you could place the drain check balls in the well in an arrangement that would cause the Separator/Filter Assy to split. BTW, could you post a picture of that?
Also, the pump outlet has been a common troublemaker on this otherwise fine dishwasher. The common failure is that one of the seams splits allowing water to escape sideways rather than getting forced up into the spray arm. On a dishwasher of this vintage and with this problem, it's usually worth going ahead and replacing it to avoid a future failure.

|Okay - first off - sorry for the ommission, but the pump outlet cover was new when I rebuilt the pump - it had cracks in the ears under almost all of the screws, so I just replaced it as PM.
And Yes, the diagram you found is not very much more detailed than mine, but DEWED! LOOK! - it shows BOTH drain check balls going in the TOP of the drain cover!!! (As in my photo D)
Okay... this is what I've figured out, I think... one thing I just noticed is that if I install the check balls as in photo C, with one UNDER the drain cover in that well in the pump base, then the nipple in the drain cover actually "pins" the ball in place in that well - it cannot move at all. A check ball needs to be able to move in order to work, otherwise it's just an impediment, not a valve. As there is no other place under the drain cover a check ball could fit, I have to think that it doesn't belong there - they must both go as in photo D.
I've attached a pic of the Separator/Filter assy; as you can see, it has split along the seam between top & bottom halves. The lower pic shows how occluded the filter screens are, but what is hard to see is how the filter material appears "stretched"; it is not smooth & tight across its surface like the new one, but rather slightly puckered outward as if a great amount of pressure had built up behind it. Add this to the split seam, & I think that is exactly what happened - the screens clogged up, too much pressure built up inside the Separator/Filter, & it eventually split the casing.
Now my question here is more along the lines of "What caused the separator, which was perfectly clean & clear of any debris when I assembled this unit, to not clean itself properly, causing this?"
This is where I begin to question placement of those check balls... if they aren't placed properly, I'm sure they could either block flow of water going where it should, or even allow the wash pump section or the drain pump section (or BOTH) to cavitate, and I suspect there may be the cause of my clogged Separator.
I think at this point, especially in light of my discovery about the way I had it assembled originally not allowing that one check ball to move, and with the encouragement of the diagram you found, that it's time to do a little "empirical engineering". I'm going to try it with the new separator first as in photo C, (since it's already assembled that way) then as in photo D... we'll see if it makes any difference in wash quality. I just hope I don't strip any screw holes out, as I've already had this apart 3 or 4 times with the first rebuild.
Thanks for your help,

|Okay, I'm back -
Well, I tried it the with the new separator as shown above in photo C; running the dishwasher with the door open (in my long overcoat) to observe. The water from the wash hit the stove on the opposite side of the kitchen. Then I tried it as in photo D above; the water from the wash DROWNED the stove... and the fridge... and tried to scrub my eyeballs off my face before I could get my coathanger out of the door interlock. I think we have a winner!
And yes, before I got too excited, I DID verify that the unit does still drain properly & doesn't pee all over the floor.
So Thanks for the help, I'm gonna go enjoy my nice clean dishes now!

|Hi guys
First time caller and listener, ah, first timer here.
Mnementh, thanks for the great information. Now I am not afraid to work on my beast as much, though it has bit my left hand about 3 times. Darn sharp edges.
I have a Kitchenaid Whisper Quiet Dishwasher model KUDM25SHWH1, and having the same issue with dishes not coming out clean and water left near the base of the pump (inside the washer not out). The last time we had a tech come out and fixed it. The tech stated this was normal that junk built up around the "2 balls" and then tend to stick once in awhile.
I can get the water to drain out, most of the time, by running the CANCEL cycle several times. I can tell when the water is drained by the sound the washer makes. Getting tired of doing that and waste electricity.
I have taken the beast apart and cleaned out any junk. I found alot of cleaned grease, a piece of broken glass, 2 olive pits, and a small rock (no gravy beef gravy-Monte Python).
I looked up the part that prevent the "balls" from "dropping" into the well and noticed they put something like a "T" instead of the single "Pin".
Does water flow both ways in this well and that is why they have 2 balls in this area so there is a chance one of them will get in the hole?
I don't want to have to buy a new pump assembly cause that is doing its job and all parts look in good shape. No chunks of plastic. The machine is 7 years old.
Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

|John -
I don't know for sure, but I suspect that since the other side of the drain cover has the drain check ball in it, this arrangement of check balls must serve some other purpose.
Personally, I think (after having some time to consider it) that they are arranged so that they create a pulsation in the water to the filter/separator to aid in its self-cleaning action. The drain check ball is on the other side of the drain cover; if you're having drainage issues, I'd check there first.
You said you found grease clogging in the well; I'd make sure the screens in the filter/separator are clean (You should be able to see through them easily).
Also, remove and check the entire drain hose, from the sink drain all the way back to the dishwasher. Greasy gunk often clogs this up and interferes with drainage.
Oh yeah - there's a check valve in the plastic nipple where the drain hose attaches to the dishwasher that can clog up too; don't forget to remove the drain hose from the dishwasher and look there too!
Hope this helps,

|I did check the drain hose, stuck my fingers in both ends, blew into, and took the wet dry vac to it, sounds like an adult movie, and it is all clear.
After getting everything back together and my final cut on top of my left index finger from the stainless steel, it didn't want to drain. It started getting better after doing the cancel button thingy. Now it will do a full cycle but still will leave some water up to the top of the plastic strainer. Hit cancel again and the remaining water gets pumped out.
Would there be an adjustment on the logic board to tell the pump to stay on for another 30 seconds or so?

These units drain based on the float switch AND a timer; they drain unitil the float switch closes and then for a specific time thereafter, or until a "deadman" time timer sets if the float switch doesn't close to prevent motor/seal burnout from running dry.
If these units are healthy & not backed up in the drain, they should evacuate completely in 45-90 seconds & shut off shortly after that.
I would try next letting the drain hose dump into a bucket to verify proper volume; if it drains completely & has good flow, I'd look into wherever that drain hose connects to your sink drain.
After that, I'd guess the next step would be the pump itself. Use the manual for the PowerClean Module found here:
and disassemble the unit down to the pump impeller & macerator. Look for any clogs or damage to the impeller; try sticking the hose of your shop vac on the end of the drain nipple to verify clear passages from the pump cavity to the drain.
Do NOT remove the screws holding the motor to the pump housing, even though the directions show you how. You need a special alignment tool to put it back together; without it you'll be fixing a prematurely failed mainseal in short order, and there is nothing to service which requires that disassembly.
Hope that helps,
Remember... you only cut yourself on a dull blade. With a sharp one, you amputate.

|Well, I did tear the thing down. No leaks so far. Everything looked fine. The pump looked good, and the hose got examined and sucked, by the wet dry vac that is. You think maybe the float switch might need a little up or down adjustment.
I will do the suggestion you made by checking the volumn of water coming out of the hose into a bucket. I will also snake the discharge hose to make absolutely there is no blockage.
I will let ya know what I find out, but it will be next week sometime.
Thanks for the advice.

|There really isn't any adjustment of the float available on these.... it's not that precise a measure, and you don't want to mess with it anyhow - it's how the run water level is set; high enough to keep the heating coil immersed but low enough that it doesn't all pour out the door. Like I said; your unit is not draining properly if it takes longer than the timer gives it. The question is what is getting in the way...

|It was the check valve coming off the pump that was restricting the discharge flow. That what repair tech was referring to about a check valve being clogged with junk.
That is working fine now, but the dishes still have food particles on them after the completed cycle.
Do you think I should replace my 2 "balls" or ? I have ran the machine a couple of times without dishes to ensure all debris has been removed but with no luck with dishes.
I finally got tired of cutting my left hand on this machine so I decided to take off my index finger Monday night. Not really but I did managed to take off my left index finger on a metal lathing accident, so now working on this dishwasher will be a challenge and so will be typing.

|Large food residue remaining is usually a result of food not being ground up properly by the macerator in the center of the pump; small food particles are usually either a result of the sump not being drained completely, or the filter assembly not self-cleaning properly. This can be caused by those check balls being in the wrong place, an over-clogged filter assembly, or a split filter assembly like the one I had. Make sure it's clean (You should be able to see clearly through all of the filter area on the assembly) & carefully inspect the seam around the circumference of the filter assembly; it can have a hairline crack which only opens up under pressure & heat.

Ralston Accident should never have happened
Original post made by Safety First, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on May 3, 2007
We should get safety fences at the drop off areas outside all our schools. Cars and buses should drive to a safe break in these barriers and there should be a short inner barrier at this spot to prevent distracted drivers plowing into waiting students. This accident has happened before in other places. We must protect our kids better. Yes, it may cost money, but so does restriping roads to supposedly calm traffic. This is one instance where the money spent would undoubtedly be worth it. Yes, it may make drop off/pick up more time, but safety should be our priority.
Lets get rid of all the unbarricaded drop off areas around our schools and make them safe!

Most of the PA schools don't really have a "drop off area" since they were designed as neighborhood schools that kids walk to.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on May 3, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Maybe the design of the schools was for walking, but now that has changed and outside all our schools are no parking areas, or red curbs, which mean they are used as drop off areas. These areas are where kids wait, often too close to the curb, and do not pay attention to traffic. These are the areas that should be behind barriers with gaps for passageway with inner barriers inside so that any passenger dropped off or being picked up would have to zig zag through.

I agree with your concern, but I'm not sure it would work at most schools, at Hays some parents drop kids off in the school lot, some near the Jr. Museum, some on the other side of Riconada, etc., at Duveneck some are dropped near the office, some on Channing, some near the kindergarden classes, at Addison kids are dropped of all around the whole block, at Jordan kids are dropped in the parking lot, in front of the school and in a small teachers lot (and some parents just stop on Middlefield), you get my point. I don't think too many kids are waiting for pick-up in elementary school, the majority of parents park and go on to campus. It would work in the middle schools, but might create a reverse safety issue of trapping kids in if there was a fire.

I like the idea of a barrier. I am from England and I was very surprised to see no barriers of any type at the main entrances of schools when I moved here. At Palo Verde, there is always a throng of children at the front of the school by the flag pole waiting for parents to arrive at pick up time and it would be easy for them to step backwards into the road. At the back of the school where the buses come there is a big fence with a small gate and this seems a lot more sensible as children can wait inside the fence until their particular bus arrives and then go out.

Wait -- isn't this thread supposed to be about safety? Then let's focus on what really makes our drop off areas so unsafe! It's that there are too many _cars_ driven by parents around our schools (and at our high schools, too many cars driven by students). The problem is that these parents are only concerned with delivering their child "safely" to school -- not with the safety of all the children who are walking and biking.
But the way we will make the front of our schools safe is _not_ by building expensive barriers to protect against elderly grandparents driving overpowered trucks they don't know how to control. Real safety is about enforcing rules for safe driving, like no cell phone use while dropping off, and making it impossible to go more than 10 miles an hour in a drop off area.
Check out this link for an eyeopening simulation of how driver behavior choices (speeding, using a cell phone, drinking) dramatically increase the chance of injury or death:
Web Link
Why don't safety campaigns on this country focus on changing the drivers' behavior that puts everyone else at risk
Let's raise awareness that driving your child around in an SUV is _not_ the way to protect them from danger (even if the parent is only concerned about their own child and not about other children on the street). How many parents understand that SUV rollover is a real risk, much more likely to cause a child harm than stranger abduction or being injured while biking to school? Why do so many parents overestimate the dangers of walking and biking, while underestimating the dangers they expose their child to as passengers in their own vehicles?
Children who are driven to school also do not learn important independence skills, let alone how to cross streets safely. They are less likely to adopt healthy habits of physical activity that have huge, lifelong health benefits. Obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol -- these are showing up in inactive kids whose parents think that driving them around keeps them safe.
Real safety involves reducing the number of cars around our schools, and encouraging more families to walk and bike together to school more often, and making it safe for people not surrounded by tons of steel to use our streets.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on May 4, 2007 at 8:40 am
While I do agree with all the comments about walking/biking to school, the kids waiting at Ralston were actually waiting for a bus. I think that using buses to school is definitely a safer option than everyone going by their own family car - but that is not what this thread is about.
A two rail safety barrier, which is strong enough to prevent a low speed accident, will not impede children getting out of a school in the event of a fire. In any case, I believe that for fire drills at schools, the rules are that they all exit their classrooms and meet on the grass field.

The students waiting in line were very "aware" and some even managed to pull their friends to safety. If you haven't see the Ralston parking lot, then you really shouldn't comment on this issue. My friends waiting for the bus weren't the problem. Traffic on Ralston isn't the issue. Transportation by bus isn't the topic we should be discussing.
Kids NEED to take the bus at Ralston because there would be way too much traffic otherwise. Ralston Ave is already pretty busy around the end of the school day.
This is just a traffic accident that could have happened ANYWHERE. "Safety First" doesn't know what they're talking about.

I agree with my fellow Ralston student.
I witnessed the accident and the students could not have possibly seen this coming.
This is not a transportation problem.

The final four matches of The FA Women's Super League (WSL) will be played next Sunday 28 August, and to celebrate the close of its first season, fans will be given the unique opportunity to pay what they think it's worth to attend matches.
Throughout the WSL season fans have been given the opportunity to 'Call the Shots' on key aspects of the games, including 'player of the match' decisions, music choices at games, food served at matches, the naming of the WSL mascot and the WSL goal-of-the-month competitions. The 'Call the Shots' programme is a key feature in the WSL's aim to be the most interactive league in the world. Now it's time for fans to make the ultimate pledge of support by 'calling the shots' and paying what they think the ticket price is worth as they attend their own team's final match of the league season.
All eight teams, which include many players from the England World Cup squad, will go head-to-head to battle it out for the coveted WSL trophy. The matches are taking place at the home grounds of Chelsea Ladies, Doncaster Rovers Belles, Lincoln Ladies and Liverpool Ladies, kick off is 2pm for all matches, with Birmingham and Arsenal both still in contention for the title.
Arsenal Captain, Faye White, says: "The football season has been extremely competitive this year with the launch of the WSL. We hope to get as many fans as possible cheering on their local clubs and celebrating the first ever semi-professional league. With loads of family fun going on as well, it will be a great atmosphere at all the final games on Sunday, and hopefully with a bit of the luck, it might be the day we are crowned champions."
There will be plenty of exciting activities taking place at the final round of matches including face-painting, live music, player autographs, and an exciting dads' and daughters' penalty shoot out on the pitch prior to kick off.
At Chelsea against Everton there will be a special appearance from WSL Ambassador Charlotte Lade, the international freestyle footballer and world record holder, who will be demonstrating skills sessions. Charlotte has travelled up and down the country in the first season of the WSL, getting to many clubs along the way and giving fans an opportunity to practice their freestyle skills and tricks.
The Continental Shot Stoppers programme will be taking place ahead of the Doncaster Rovers Belles v Birmingham City on another stop of its road-show tour, the programme takes place from 9am – 1pm at The Keepmoat Stadium. Fans can join in and test their goalkeeping skills or learn some new ones with the professional goalkeeping coaches, led by England Senior Women's goalkeeper coach Keith Rees. Anyone who attends will also receive a free ticket to the game at which kicks off at 2pm.
ESPN has been broadcasting a weekly highlights show and a number of live games throughout the season. It will also show The FA WSL Continental Cup Final in September, whilst a dedicated website, www.fawsl.com will keep fans up to date with the latest action and news from the league.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

President Proposes Record $57B for 2005 Education Budget
President Bush continued his commitment to America's students and their families by submitting earlier this month a budget request for 2005 that provides $57.3 billion in discretionary funding for the U.S. Department of Education. The budget request includes an additional $1.7 billionthe largest dollar increase of any domestic agencyrepresenting a 3 percent increase over 2004 for education programs.
The president's 2005 budget request continues to place a strong priority on assisting the nation's neediest students and includes historic funding increases to help states and school districts implement No Child Left Behind, the president's sweeping education reform law. The budget proposes a $1 billion increase in Title I grants to help the neediest local schools and a $1 billion increase for special education grants to states.
The 2005 request also includes $12.9 billion, an $823 million increase for Pell Grants, to help an estimated 5.3 million students from low-income families pay for their higher education. In total, student aid for higher education would increase to more than $73 billiona $4.2 billion or 6 percent increase over 2004 levels. Almost 10 million students and parentsa 426,000 increasewould receive one or more grants, loans or work-study awards.
If approved by lawmakers, the $57.3 billion budget would be a 35.8 percent increase since the president took office, from $42.2 billion in 2001 to the proposed $57.3 billion in 2005.

Shattering Stereotypes
Missouri Urban School Held Up as a National Model of Achievement
By Maggie Riechers
In a blighted neighborhood on the north side of St. Louis, Mo., stands Pierre Laclede Elementary School. The surrounding area consists of empty, deteriorating buildings and vacant lots. Just walking to school can be dangerous for its 282 students. Maintaining safety calls for extra support from drug enforcement officers and the school district's security patrol. Yet, amid these daunting conditions, Laclede has nearly a 96 percent daily attendance rate. It even has a cabbage patch garden where students grow their own fruits and vegetables. For these neighborhood children, it stands as a safe and secure place.
"Laclede Elementary School shatters stereotypes," said President George W. Bush, during a recent visit to the inner-city school, where most of the students are black and 96 percent qualify for free lunch subsidies. The school is a 2003 No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon School winner and was singled out by the Missouri State Board of Education as "a model of excellence to be replicated throughout the state." Its scores on the state tests have improved every year in all categories. In 2003, nearly 66 percent of fourth-graders scored at the proficient and advanced levels in mathematics, compared to 30 percent four years prior. In communication arts, over 82 percent of third-graders scored at the same levelsan enormous jump from 7 percent in 1999.
The school's cornerstones for learning are its "triple A standards": attendance, attitude and achievement. Each builds on the others. Fifth-grader Rhianna Davis, who greeted President Bush at the door during his visit in January, has had perfect attendance since starting preschool at Laclede. "I like coming to school," says the honor roll student. "I don't want to miss a day because we learn something new every day." Attendance, the first of the triple A standards, carries rewards for those students with perfect records. Every 10 weeks children who haven't missed a day get to participate in a lottery to win a bike, which is donated by a local business. Rhianna has won twice.
When Audrey Ferguson, Missouri's 2002-03 Teacher of the Year, began at Laclede in the late seventies, "it was pretty much a traditional school," she said. "Everybody did their own thing."
During the eighties and nineties the school was selected as a "special project" by the district and began using some innovative instructional methods, which it still uses today. For example, student test scores are used to determine the direction of instruction. Skills needing improvement are identified as "must teach" skills and used to develop lesson plans, which teachers tailor to each student. In addition to reviewing the results of state tests, the school uses its own testing to continually monitor students' progress throughout the year.
A key to improving overall school communications has been a summer planning committee comprised of teachers and staff. Funded through private grants, the committee meets during the school vacation period to plan for the year ahead. It looks at the climate of the school, from safety and maintenance issues to student behavior and academics, and helps to coordinate school programs. The committee also devises the tests Laclede uses to further assess students.
Students won't learn, however, if they don't have the right attitude, the second cornerstone of the triple A standards. "Attitude must be in place before achievement can be reached," said Principal Yolanda Moss, who taught at the school for five years before being named principal in 2003. As such, the school includes character education in its focus. Students are awarded in categories such as the Most Caring Student and Do the Right Thing Actions, and for participating in Safety Patrol and service clubs. On the flip side, students with discipline problems are sent to the CAP room, which stands for Controlling Attitude and Performance, where a discipline assistant provides tutoring and other help to improve behavior.
The success of Laclede, President Bush pointed out, stems from its ability to defy expectations. It happens "... when you raise the bar, when you're not afraid to hold people to account, when you empower teachers and your principals to achieve the objective we all want," he said. "And that's to make sure not one single child in America is left behind."

Close-Up: No Child Left BehindSecond Anniversary Update
|"[I]nherent in the No Child Left Behind Act is not only ... the need to track each child, but it's also the trust of local people to make the right decisions."
President Bush, in his remarks at Pierre Laclede Elementary School, St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 5, 2004.
Jan. 8, 2004, marked the second anniversary of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), the most significant reform in America's education system since the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling.
The sweeping reforms of NCLB are designed to change the culture of the nation's schools by ensuring all children can read and do mathematics at grade level, by closing the achievement gap, by offering more flexibility to state and local schools, by giving parents more options about their child's education and by teaching students based on what works.
President Bush and U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige celebrated the law's two-year anniversary by hailing its accomplishments to date during a roundtable discussion at West View Elementary School in Knoxville, Tenn. These highlights included:
- State accountability plans. On June 10, 2003, all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico had approved accountability plans under NCLB.
- Reading First. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have Reading First plans to ensure that every child is reading on grade level by the end of the third grade. As of Oct. 1, 2003, the U.S. Department of Education had distributed $1.78 billion in Reading First funds to provide teacher training and instructional materials.
- Supplemental services. Using tutoring money provided under NCLB, low-income parents whose children attend certain schools identified as needing improvement may select from over 1,600 supplemental educational service providers to help address the specific needs of their child.
- More information for parents. Under NCLB, states and school districts are publishing report cards showing how well students are achieving so communities and parents can know how well their schools are doing.
- Data management tools. In Sept. 2003, the Department announced the School Information Partnership to assist states for the ensuing two years in reporting and analyzing certain data. Designed to empower parents and educators in making informed decisions and improving schools results, the partnership recently unveiled its Web sitewww.schoolmatters.comwhich displays school, district and state data required to be publicly reported by NCLB.

Paige's Circle
In a recent speech given at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C., U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige drew parallels between the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. An excerpt follows:
In my view, the Brown v. Board of Education case is one of the most important decisions in our history. ... It began a process to make our citizens and our institutions fully respect each American. The Brown decision ended the myth that there were two kinds of people. ...
But I also will argue that we still have a long way to go, that the de facto legacy of segregation remains. Sadly, the vestiges of segregation are alive and well. That is why the No Child Left Behind Act is the next step after Brown. It addresses latent segregation, a de facto apartheid that is emerging in our schools. Like Brown, No Child Left Behind is facing resistance. ...
Those who fought against Brown were on the wrong side of history, just as those who fight No Child Left Behind will one day also be labeled. We have come to expect strident resistance to any major changes in education, particularly if they change the status quo and challenge the educational establishment that seeks to protect itself. ...
Two score and 10 years have passed since Brown. It may take generations to finally achieve equality of opportunity. We must make our schools equitable in order to make our society and culture equitable. ... So unless we begin to eliminate racism in our schools, other later attempts will probably be unsuccessful. Our work for the future begins now, and it begins in our educational institutions.

Reading Rockets! The Sky's the Limit for PBS Reading Project
How young children learn to read, why so many struggle and how adults can help are the focus of a national reading initiative by WETA, the Public Broadcasting Service's flagship television and radio station in Washington, D.C. WETA produces Reading Rockets, a multimedia project that uses video, print and online media to provide research-based tools and strategies for teaching children how to read. Among these resources are
- Launching Young Readers, which dissects the building blocks of reading into a five-part PBS television series that covers the roots of reading, sounds and symbols, fluent reading, writing and spelling, and reading for meaning;
- The Reading Rockets Family Guideprinted in both English and Spanishwhich includes tips on working with schools and teachers, ideas for using the public library and valuable Web addresses;
- Get Ready to Read!, an easy-to-use screening tool that assesses the pre-reading skill levels of four-year-olds;
- www.colorincolorado.org, a bilingual Web site for Spanish speaking parents;
- Reading Rockets News, a monthly e-newsletter, which includes a calendar of local and national literacy events; and
- Hundreds of research-based articles that explain, for example, the difference between a morpheme and phoneme, how dialogic reading is an effective way to read to preschoolers and how context counts in second language learning.
The Achiever is published semi-monthly during the school year for parents and community leaders by the Office of Intergovernmental and Interagency Affairs, U.S. Department of Education (ED). Rod Paige, Secretary.

I'm a few hours south west of your county by car Cynthia. I saw the bees bringing in pollen yesterday. Although I could see putting the patties in earlier or not at all ... it makes sense what Vance said about waiting to see the bees bringing in Pollen. Every hive was bringing in Pollen yesterday but the bees practically ignored the open feeders I had out. I'm guessing they are rearing brood right now but if the cold weather keeps up they may not be able to get out to get enough pollen. Based on using the pollen patties as a necessity the cold weather may be making a good case to use them this year. Maybe someone could agree or disagree with my thinking on that? If they are raising brood and then it gets cold for a month is that a good reason to put the pollen patties on?
I too have been reluctant to open the hives but will probably put some pollen pattie mixture up top here in the next little warm day when it is close to 50. If we over stimulate them with too much pollen we will need to keep an eye out for swarm cells when it warms up. I have less experience than others that have posted but I think I am giving an ok response to your question. I hope so. I wish you luck. :D:popcorn:

US scientists have developed a system which can automatically create three-dimensional images of the moon's surface using NASA images.
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera Narrow Angle Camera (LROC NAC) team from the University of Arizona and Arizona State University have developed a processing system which can create anaglyphs - images that appear 3D when viewed using red-blue/green glasses - out of pairs of images taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Human vision sees in three dimensions because our eyes are set slightly apart and see the world from two different angles at once. Our brain then interprets the two images and combines them into a single three dimensional view.
The orbiter can only take images from one angle at a time, however images taken in different orbits, from different angles, can be combined together to reconstruct three dimensional images.
The LROC NAC team have created a "digital brain" which does just that.
The new initiative was presented to European Planetary Science Congress by the University of Arizona's Sarah Mattson.
"Anaglyphs are used to better understand the 3D structure of the lunar surface," Mattson said. "This visualisation is extremely helpful to scientists in understanding the sequence and structures on the surface of the Moon in a qualitative way. LROC NAC anaglyphs will also make detailed images of surface of the Moon accessible in 3D to the general public."
The images can be used by scientists to study lunar features such as craters, volcanic flows, lava tubes and tectonic features, which jump out in 3D.
Three dimensional images already created include the Korolev Lobate Scarp - believed to have been created as a result of fracturing of the crust as the moon shrinks - the Janssen K Crater, the Alpes Sinuous Rille - an ancient channel formed as massive eruptions of fluid lava poured across the moon's surface - and the Orientale Sculpture 4 - scars which result from lunar rock which was thrown out from the Orientale impact and crashed back to the surface.

Pepsiman is an action video game developed and published by KID for the PlayStation. It was released in Japan in March 1999, and is based on American carbonated soft drink Pepsi's superhero mascot with the same name, and focuses the player on avoiding obstacles by running, dashing, and jumping, while Pepsiman automatically runs forward through each of the game's stages.
Lamborghini: American Challenge
"The game is essentially an upgrade from Titus Interactive's previous entry in the Crazy Cars franchise, Crazy Cars III. It adds a two player mode and a few more options, the game's most notable feature is its Jazz Fusion soundtrack."
A very cool feature of this game is that your car is damaged in every beat you suffer, and so that it goes back to normal state only by paying a little money later to repair it.
Lamborghini: American Challenge is quite difficult and very time consuming, which generates a good competition. Thankfully you will always have the password on the screen to write down and continue later.

Trainer Tony Gollan will use historical weather patterns as a guide to autumn carnival targets for Spirit Of Boom and Temple Of Boom.
Spirit Of Boom will be aimed at sprints in Melbourne because it is traditionally dry and warm during the autumn and the entire prefers to race on firm surfaces.
His stablemate and half-brother Temple Of Boom prefers rain-affected tracks so Gollan will race him in Sydney, where he will defend his title in the group one Galaxy.
Spirit Of Boom will have his first serious test this campaign in a Doomben barrier trial on February 12 before resuming in the group one Oakleigh Plate (1100m) at Caulfield on February 23.
Gollan is pleased with Spirit Of Boom's progress since his Perth campaign where he finished a close third to boom sprinter Barakey in the group one Winterbottom Stakes at Ascot on November 24.
"He's coming off a long campaign and a short spell but with the residual fitness he had from last prep he's come up quite quickly again and I'm very pleased with him," Gollan said.
"He's put on condition in all the right places and at this stage we're heading towards the Oakleigh Plate."
Spirit Of Boom will then contest the Newmarket at Flemington on March 9, with the William Reid Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley on March 22 a possibility if Gollan decides to extend his Melbourne campaign.
Gollan plans to start Temple Of Boom in the Challenge Stakes (1100m) on March 16, before The Galaxy (1100m) at Rosehill on March 30.
The weather will also determine if Temple Of Boom competes in Brisbane during the winter carnival.
"He's a group one wet tracker, but listed or group three level on top of the ground, so we need to find some soft tracks for him," Gollan said.
"If it looks like being a dry winter he'll probably have another break then head down for the very early spring in Melbourne because the tracks are so suitable at that time of year with the sting out of them."
Whiskey Allround, who is unbeaten in three starts, will trial on the same day as Spirit Of Boom before Gollan decides if he embarks on a Sydney campaign.
