I was asking yesterday advice about this hive and this a.m. I went to split it but it was to late. The bees did it themselves. I am a novice at this and still learning everyday something about bees. They didn't go far (very lucky), when I got there this a.m. around 10 they had just swarmed, 2 swarms in a cedar just in front of the hives and bees flying everywhere. I let them calm down for about an hour and they settled in 2 large clusters on limbs just above each other. I have containers that have the sides cut out and screen wire for ventilation for the bee vac so I went and got 2 of them, climbed a ladder, cut the limb and toated each limb down and put in the boxes. I wasn't able to hive them this afternoon due to work so I brought them home and put them in my garage where it is cool. Bees are fine, clustered in a corner in each box, acting fine. So now I have a few more questions.
1. These 2 sets of bees were in seperate balls, not touching. So was this 2 swarms. Remember I said in my last post that I had 3-4 queen cells that had holes in the bottom but wasn't sure if it hatched a queen or not.
2. If seperate swarms, are they likely to be 1 mated queen (old queen) and 1 virgin.
3. When I hive these put some brood and rest frames in hive body and start feeding heavy to start laying if one of the queens is a mated one.
4. Do these swarms need to go to another hive yard?

Don't cut down the tall trees in Pioneer Cemetery
Original post made by Jim Brice, Southeast Pleasanton, on May 17, 2008
I thought the city was going to preserve and beautify the Pioneer Cemetery in Pleasanton? I live next to it on San Carlos Way, and I am shocked and saddened that work crews have spent the past few days cutting down a line of 70 foot tall eucalyptus trees on the east side of the property. I fear a majestic 80-foot-tall eucalyptus tree adjacent to my home, near the north side of the cemetery will be the next to go.
I've lived here for 19 years and know that these trees were habitat for hundreds of birds. Mockingbirds and yellow-billed magpies find a home here. The tree near my house is a rookery for at least 25 turkey vultures.
I realize that turkey vultures may not be popular birds, but I've watched this flock survive many seasons in that tree. I've seen them hunker down in violent storms and struggle to return to their roost in heavy winds.
They are superb gliders in fair weather, and are an inseparable part of the environment along the Pleasanton ridge.
Great white herons sometimes rest in this eucalyptus tree, too, along with many types of birds and small mammals.
Removing the trees along the east side of the cemetery was a shame. Their removal served no purpose. It definitely could not be called beautification. Please contact the Mayor Hosterman and the city council to make sure the remaining trees are left alone.
Thanks, James Brice

Wow. Thanks for the information, and I am shocked to read of the removal of these large eucalyptus trees!! Living on the other side of town, we too have a number of these old eucalyptus in our backyards and neighboring yards, and know FULL well that they are home to the turkey vultures, the (magestic) great white heron and the (graceful) blue heron, all co-existing somehow in the same tall trees. Unless there is a deep, dehabilitating freeze which renders the tree structure unsafe, there is NO reason to cut down these majestic, useful trees! There can be periodic trimming/tidying of the peeling bark, but there is no need to chop these trees down and decimate a habitat for birds which grace our town!
What were the people thinking who ordered this tree removal? And who authorized this? Are these not considered "Heritage Trees" ?

eucalyptus trees = bad idea. I hate to see trees cut down but this is one tree we dont need. Huge fire danger and the bigger they are the harder they fall. Just look what happened in the oakland hills. I hope they city replaces it with a NATIVE tree

Right on, Mike.
Eucalyptus are trash trees.
a resident of Livermore
on May 19, 2008 at 10:15 am
The eucalyptus tree is not native to CA. It came to the US ILLEGALLY. And like "illegals", it must be dealt with properly. eucalyptus = illegal weed.
It is simply a fire waiting to happen. The birds will have to relocate to the bad side of town.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

Sorry, had to throw that one in, after Native Trees Only (illegal trees need not apply). Yes, the eucalyptus tree is invasive, fire-fuel and non-native, and we should be weeding them out in favor of native trees. Could this thinning of the species be done in stages, however, so that the bird and other animals who have called the trees their home for many years are not suddenly left homeless, with all their nests crashed to the ground? This is nesting time for many birds... spring, you know. Will native trees be planted in their stead; has the city budgeted for that or just for the slash and trash?
Here's an article which seems to provide a lot of good information and a balanced view of the threat (and some benefit) of the eucalyptus:

Why not adopt a bird? Plutonians can plant native trees on their property and welcome birds that way! Great idea Cholo...HOORAY!
It makes sense to stage the genocide of eucalyptus in Plutonia; it is nesting time.

I have a 60 foot Euc. tree 5 feet from my house. It keeps pushing my deck and wall as it grows. Tree huggers will not let me remove it. Fire Dept. said if it dies I can have it removed. Anyone out there know how to kill this hazard...???
a resident of Oak Hill
on Jul 18, 2008 at 2:07 am
If the tree is that close to your house and could potentially cause damage, why don't you send a letter to the city requesting they appraise the situtation. Have them provide written documentation why you can't remove the tree. If damage does occur later, you'll have documentation that you weren't allowed to take preventative action. You, or your insurance company, will then be in a position to take what ever action is necessary.
Also send a copy of your letter and the documentation from the city to your insurance agent. No one should be allowed to prevent you from protecting your property. Except in a potential fire danger situtation, when did the Fire Department gain the authority to determine if a tree on private property could be removed??

2017 guide to summer camps
Looking for something for the kids to do this summer, learn something new and have fun? The 2017 Summer Camp Guide features local camps for all ages and interests.

How much do you work out?
I do something every day. I try and get full upperbody lifting in twice per week; legs once. I do at least one form of cardio every day, mostly running but also biking and swimming. Sometimes I do all three. On summer weekends I do occasional triathlons or I kayak as much as I can on the ocean, usually for about three to four hours.Do you watch what you eat, or does this body just come naturally?
I eat a lot, but I eat pretty well. When I grocery shop I try and avoid overly processed or unnatural foods. I eat sugar, not saccharine; butter, not margarine. I try to avoid corn syrup because it is in so many things — it just scares me. Lately I have been trying to eat more fish and less animal. People never respond well when I say this, but I have a bowl of ice cream every night before I go to bed.What's your favorite guilty-pleasure food?
Coke. (I don't feel guilty about the ice cream.)You've got a great body now, but did you ever go through that "awkward" stage?
I was really skinny as a kid — people called me "Billy Skeleton." And then in college, I was running 70 to 80 miles per week for cross country and track, so I had big legs but the body of a chicken. I started lifting after college because I wanted to have good
posture as I got older.If you could have anyone else's body, whose would it be?
I just want one that works properly and lasts a long time. But if I had to swap bodies, Daniel Craig's (the new
Bond) might work for me.Favorite exercise?
I love running the most. I am trying to do a lot of cross-over exercise so I don't over-do the impact on my knees. I am turning 40 this year, you know.Least favorite exercise?
Abdominals. They suck.What's the best body compliment you've ever received?
Probably being considered for this layout! Though somebody once did tell me my body was "fierce." I thought that
was nice.What do you consider your best body part?I guess I'll say my legs — they do a good job carrying me through life.

Introducing Lodge Logic: Ready-to-use cast-iron cookware, pre seasoned for consistent performance! For more than 100 years, Lodge has been perfecting the process of making cast-iron cookware, formulating the perfect metal chemistry to create the exacting mold tolerances for casting. This produces the perfect wall construction for the best even heating in cookware. In the past, however, the seasoning process was never complete until you had cooked countless batches of fried chicken, catfish and cornbread to burnish it to a black patina. Of course, after this process was complete, cast-iron cookware would be handed down like an heirloom. Lodge Logic removes the waiting, thanks to a newly-developed seasoning process. An electrostatic spray system applies a proprietary vegetable oil combination to deeply penetrate the pores of the iron. The resulting seasoned cast-iron cookware is far superior to anything you can achieve at home because you can use it right out of the box. All Lodge cookware is still produced in a sand-cast process under high pressure so the shape can be controlled precisely. Lodge cast-iron cookware is durable with incredible heat retention and distribution.

Category: underused baby names
Just as names move in and out of fashion so do sounds and initial letters. In the 70s and 80s, J-names ruled, from Jennifer and Jason to Jessica and Joshua, and then came the Ms –Michael, Matthew, Melissa, Megan, the Bs—Brianna, Brittany, Brandon, the Ks—Kayla, Kimberly, Kelsey, and the still continuing As and Es—Ashley, Amanda, Ava, Emily Emma.
But what did they replace? If you want proof of how an initial can fall totally out of favor, all you have to do is look at the performance record of the letter P.
In the last year counted, you have to scroll the Social Security list all the way down to #60 to find a single name beginning with that letter—the girl's name Peyton—and for boys it isn't until #124 that you get to Preston. When P-names were in their prime, in 1950, you would have found nine names in the Top 60—Peter, Patrick, Philip, Paul, Peggy, Phyllis, Paula, Pamela and Patricia, none of which is found in the Top 100 today.
I'm not saying Phyllis is necessarily ready for her comeback (though those boys' names could be), but there are certainly other P-names worthy of trying to resuscitate the reputation of that lost letter. Such as:
PALOMA – Paloma is one of the loveliest options, and among the best bets for success. Meaning 'dove' and thus symbolizing peace, it's both gentle and dynamic. A similarly appealing Latin name is PALMA, namesake of the charming city on the island of Majorca.
PATIENCE and PRUDENCE – Two virtue names projecting calm and—well—patience and prudence. And the latter has the great nickname Pru plus a Beatles song for lullaby time.
PATRICE – The French unisex version of Patrick/Patricia gives either of those old standards a touch of Gallic flair and sophistication.
PATSY – Saucy, spunky nickname name that hasn't been heard for so long that it's beginning to sounds fresh.
PAULINA/PAOLINA—PAULINE is sweet; these Spanish and Italian versions are stylish and exotic.
PEARL – Definitely regaining some of its old luster.
PENELOPE/PENNY—Penélope Cruz has single-handedly revved up the appeal of this former frump; Penny is its cute retro nickname.
PERSIS –A distinctive New Testament choice for the intrepid baby namer.
PETAL and POSY—Rather than choosing the popular Rose, Lily or Daisy, you could go for one of these more unusual generic flower-related options.
PHILIPPA – Whereas Philip feels dated, its female counterpart, which has never gained much traction in the US, sounds interesting and new. Plus it has that bursting-with-energy nickname PIPPA.

SFGate article: schoolhouse bullies are social wannabees
Original post made by Tom Cushing, Danville, on Feb 9, 2011
Authors conclude that school bullying is not the exclusive province of social outcasts, but is often a tool kids use to try to increase their personal social standing. As such, it's fair to say that the phenomenon is more widespread than might otherwise be thought, and that the interventions called-for in training should take account of the various purposes that motivate the behaviors.
I'm reminded of the baboon behaviors recounted in Robert Sapolsky's wonderful book A Primate's Memoir (stay with me, here), where he reports that physical aggression was used to promote and maintain standing in the social hierarchy. One hopes we can find ways to elevate human institutions above the monkey business of the savannah. Knowing where it comes from is a Start, but not an End point – esp. if we homo sapiens want to proclaim our superiority over the rest of the animal kingdom.
The article also contains various tips for parents and for objects of bullying – which are critiqued in the Comments. In my own experience, I was bullied/spat-at in a parking lot by a guy who resembled Mr. Clean (he gets bigger with every recollection) – he apparently took exception to my bumper sticker politics. Had I accepted his invitation to mayhem, I have little doubt my clock would've become spotless. A digital photo, police report, Assault/Battery charge, defense attorney costs, court-ordered diversion and ample restitution presumably taught him a better lesson than kicking my butt would have.
Fists are pretty dull tools – there need to be better institutional alternatives in our schools, not just in our courts. Here's hoping that The Training on the SRVUSD anti-bullying conduct policy is proceeding apace!

UTSA Satellite Space hosts 'Engaging Propositions'
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Jan. 8, 2008)--The UTSA Department of Art and Art History and the UTSA Satellite Space present "Engaging Propositions," an exhibition of works by Joseph Cohen and Robert Tiemann, through Jan. 20. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus

Cohen uses layers of paint to create surfaces with depth that confound perception. Using lines in series that start as cold, mechanical lines, the multiple colors end as drips that appear frozen in time.
A vital presence in the San Antonio art world for more than 35 years, Tiemann offers works that blur the line between drawing and printmaking.
The UTSA Satellite Space is in Blue Star Arts Complex, Suite 115, at Alamo and Probandt streets. Gallery hours are noon-6 p.m., Friday-Sunday, or by appointment.
For more information or an appointment, contact Connie Swann at (210) 458-4391 (Department of Art and Art History) or (210) 212-7146 (Satellite Space) or Joseph Cohen at (713) 705-1705.

The Feldman is a nice machine...I'm jealous!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
The Feldman is a nice machine...I'm jealous!!
Dan do you know anything about this machine? Like where can I get a manual.
Glenn W. Cleveland
Here's a new "old" one for ya'll. Picked up an Amica Nelco Maxi 3500 at Goodwill yesterday for $6.50. It is missing a slide plate and the top to the case. Weird machine! The feed dog assembly moves instead of the needle bar!
So far I have figured out it is a late 60's Italian model made by Vigorelli. All metal gear changes and the unique feed dog system were the reasons for the purchase. At home, the top came off and I discovered a very strange belt that looks like canvas and metal links! Anyone know anything about this unusual critter? I don't have a single bobbin to fit it.
There is no fireside like your own fireside.
Where is Nancy???
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.
good mothers let you lick the beaters - great mothers turn it off first
Probably taking care of her father-in-law.
Quilting with a friend keeps me in stitches.
Here is a pic of my newest. I did find a Husqvarna-Viking bobbin in my stash-o-stuff that works. Strong, STRONG machine. Now if only I could find a manual...
There is no fireside like your own fireside.
Went to Jennb's place last week and saw her "herd". What a bunch of nice machines she has, and when she gets her sewing studio set up, it will be awesome!!! I think I liked her Pfaff about the best or maybe one of her Jones.
I've been begging for one of her Davis Vertical Feed machines for about 80 months and she sold it to me last week. It is a bit of a do it yourself project, but that's what I like best. I actually have the machine sewing now and the mechanics are clean for the most part. Now to do the detail work on the machine.
The cabinet is going to be a major challenge. I've been gluing separated cabinet pieces for a week. The top is missing the veneer completely. I've picked Skip's brain, poor guy, and am getting there. Got the irons back together, and have two headless bushings left over. Cannot figure where they go. Hopefully on the cabinet somewhere. lol here is the puzzle when I unloaded her last week. Skip says she is about a 1917 machine. I know she bites, because I ran her rusty needle through my index finger(missed the nail). That's a first for me, so now I've been exposed to antique sewing machine disease really good. Also got a tetanus shot, just to be safe. Will post more when I get her all done.
Thanks Jennb!! One more off my "want" list that I have.

Our Campus (34 Photos)
Niagara University's 160-acre main campus runs along the top of picturesque Monteagle Ridge overlooking the Niagara River Gorge, just four miles north of the world-famous waterfalls.
New Student Convocation 2015 (51 Photos)

A Novel EDM Application
GF AgieCharmilles designed the FO 550 SP die-sinking EDM, the company probably never imagined it would be used like this.
Have you ever seen anyone open a bottle with a cigarette lighter or pry open a container with a screwdriver? Similarly, perhaps you've seen children using garbage can lids as sleds on a snowy day or attaching playing cards in their bicycle spokes to make noise. Our everyday lives offer countless examples people using things in manners that are completely inconsistent with the intent of their original design. When engineers and machine tools are involved, things get a little more complicated, but the basic principle remains the same: Any given tool or device can likely be employed with striking effect in unexpected ways—ways that can sometimes lend a competitive edge.
The pictures on this page, taken at GF AgieCharmilles' "Technology Days" event at the company's Lincolnshire, Illinois headquarters in late June, depict one example of a machine tool being used in a new, innovative way. When the company designed this machine, the FO 550 SP die-sinking EDM, it likely never considered that it would ever plunge an electrode into a workpiece via any direction other than Z. However, thanks to the company's creativity and a custom-designed fixture, one of its customers is now using the machine's horizontal X axis to burn 16-inch-deep channels into cylindrical, aluminum parts like the one shown here (the outer portion of the sample part has been cut away for visibility).
The custom fixture is slightly smaller than the electrode to provide clearance in the narrow channel. A channel running through the middle of the fixture brings dielectric fluid directly to the point of burn.
That particular customer came to Agie for help with developing a production process when it realized there wasn't enough room on its FO 550 SP machine to mount the part vertically on the table. The channel would be too small to mill or drill, and on top of that, maintaining a consistent surface finish throughout its depth was critical. For Agie, the most challenging part of developing this novel, horizontal approach was the fixture holding the electrode. This long component is constructed of various jigsaw-puzzle-like sections that were wire EDM'ed out of a solid block and press-fit together. While not visible here, a hole runs lengthwise down the center of the fixture and then splits 45 degrees in opposite directions to deliver dielectric directly to the point of the burn.
During a demo of this application for myself and other members of the press, I started wondering about other instances of shops employing equipment in unexpected ways. If you know of any examples and are willing to share, post a comment below or send me an email.

Thats interesting! I have a feeling there will be some M2 kits available at reasonable prices eventually.
Halo mfg has material for 40, M2/M3 browning plates, these plates are correct in every aspect and are the best .50 plate available. He is willing to do a run of at least 20 pieces at a deep discount. These can be 80% or registered plates. he also will do the original colt engraving on them. these normally sell for $475.00 for a basic plate, if he gets over 20 comitments the price will drop at least $100.00.
Even if you don't want to build one right now it is a good investment, specially if you get a registered one and they do a .50 ban.
anyone interested?

text: On 4/3/2010 through 4/12/2010 he had 6 consecutive games with double digit scoring, an average of 4.5 assists, 2.0 steals, and FG% of about 50%. Earlier in that season, he had a 5pt/20ast game, 16/6 game and a 16/7 game with .600+ shooting all in a row. Earlier still, he had 3 20-point games in a row with rebs of 8, 2, and 4, and assists of 6, 3, and 6. He had a 15 out of 19 game stretch with double digit scoring at the start of last year's season. In his first year with us, he had a 20/9 and a 25/11 pair of games with .600+ shooting. It's tough to show consistent production coming off the bench. Look at Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. They're just asked to come in and light it up and they can't sustain it. Being asked to come in the game, score, and run the offense is a tougher task. Ben Gordon has only strung together 5 consecutive games in double digits off of the bench this year. After Villanueva's hot start, he's only put 4 consecutive games in double digits together off the bench. How about this streak- Consecutive games shooting > .500 from the field. Stuckey- 3 Villanueva- 2 Bynum- 4 Gordon- 2 Hamilton- 1 Daye- 4

2 robberies take place minutes apart in Jefferson City
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Jefferson City police are investigating two robberies that happened just minutes apart.
A man told police he was assaulted and robbed by three men wearing masks in the 1000 block of Elizabeth Street early Saturday morning.
ABC 17 News has learned the victim later saw his alleged attackers and rammed their car with his pickup truck. Police arrested him for second-degree assault.
Just four minutes after the initial robbery, police responded to what they are calling an unrelated armed robbery at the McDonald's on Jefferson Street.
One McDonald's employee is in police custody on suspicion of helping the robbers.
"We did detain one individual from there who was an employee of McDonald's, who we believe let the subjects into the business, and he is currently being held in the Cole County jail," said Lt. Deric Heislen of the Jefferson City Police Department.
Police are asking anyone with information about the crimes to call Crime Stoppers at 573- 659-TIPS (8477).

For these reasons, any district or school planning to offer online courses will profit from identifying a site coordinator, at either the district level or at each school. This is the individual who will have primary responsibility for implementing the online program, including ensuring adequate student support. The coordinator is the primary link between district or school and provider, as well as being the primary program contact for online students and their parents. This individual usually recruits, counsels, and enrolls students in online learning and, in many cases, provides support for students over the course of their online studies. In the long run, whether the site coordinator is full time or part time depends on how many students are enrolled in an online program. For example, at a smaller school with only a handful of students taking online courses, a staff member may split his or her time between serving as a site coordinator for the online program and serving as a guidance counselor. A district or school may identify a coordinator before even choosing a partner provider. In such cases, the coordinator may lead the research effort. A coordinator also may be appointed after a partner has been chosen. Either way, some providers have found it useful to develop a list of key coordinator responsibilities, which they share with districts and schools. Figure 1 is an excerpt from the site coordinator manual for Colorado Online Learning (COL); it lists typical roles for a site coordinator working with COL. Providers write up such descriptions to help districts and schools identify the most appropriate person for the coordinator position.
Iowa Online Advanced Placement Academy (IOAPA), based at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, specifies that its partners must designate both a site coordinator and a technical coordinator. While the site coordinator manages the district's or school's overall implementation of online learning, the technical coordinator ensures that online students have the necessary technology and does initial troubleshooting of any technology- related problems. As with the site coordinator position, a technology coordinator's time commitment depends to some degree on how many students are taking online courses, and, in the case of a district-based coordinator, how many schools have students studying online.
Table 2. Suggested Practices for the School- or District-Provider Partnership
|Suggested Practice
|Role of Schools and Districts
|Role of Online Provider
|Establish Overall Responsibility for the Effort
|Identify a site coordinator who will take charge of the district's or school's online program, serving as key link between site and provider and primary contact for students and their parents
|Provide partners with a list of job responsibilities
for the site coordinator
Offer training or other support for site coordinator
Evaluate site coordinator support and draw on coordinators' knowledge to improve the program
|Ensure Quality of Advanced Courses
|Inquire about and compare statewide or national
online course providers
Look for appropriate design and review, and alignment to standards
Consider teacher-student interaction and course pacing
Offer students a rigid, yet flexible, learning environment in which they must meet assignment and exam deadlines, but can do their work at anytime during the day and week
|Create an engaging array of high-quality, standards-
based courses, using well-documented
design and review processes
Increase accessibility and interactivity by creating low-tech, high-touch courses—low-tech meaning they are available via a Web site and high-touch meaning they involve frequent student-teacher interactions
Evaluate course quality
|Seek and Support High-quality Instruction
|Consider instructor selection and support
Consider how instructors are monitored and evaluated
Ensure that instructors are prepared—online
providers often present initial professional development
for online instructors and always require
that their instructors have content expertise
|Recruit, Counsel, and Support Students
|Assign a site coordinator to assume overall
site-based program responsibility
Utilize teachers, counselors, and others to recruit beyond the standard pool of highperforming students
Prior to course enrollment, use student selfassessments and other tools supplied by online provider as conversation starters for counselors to use with students to help them understand and prepare for the demands of online learning
Assign a site-based mentor or counselor to provide online learners with encouragement and, if possible, content support
Provide site-based technology support
|Offer tools and training to prepare school leaders
to identify and enroll students in appropriate
Generate awareness within the school or district community about the availability and benefit of online learning
Actively recruit students from beyond the standard pool of high-performers
Provide training for site coordinators and mentors
Implement a simple system for regular reporting of student progress in each course, to aid students, parents, and teachers in monitoring student success
Provide technical support to help students, districts, and school sites with technical issues
Use survey responses and other data to improve student support
|Evaluate and Plan How to Reach More Students
|Track student progress in online courses to
guide local improvements and be ready to
offer data to course provider for evaluation
Seek alternative sources of funding to support online learning
|Evaluate outcomes and improve the program
over time
Seek alternative sources of funding to support online learning
Plan how to accommodate growing demand
Figure 1. Colorado Online Learning Site Coordinator Responsibilities
|COL Site Coordinator Responsibilities
Site Coordinator Responsibilities: Site coordinators are very important to the success a student has in an online course. Depending on the local school situation, responsibilities may include the following:
Some online providers offer training for site coordinators. Virtual High School (VHS), based in Maynard, Mass., has a four-week course designed to familiarize site coordinators with its policies and procedures. The course is taught using the same platform (i.e., the Web-based framework on which software applications operate and, in this case, courses are delivered) as VHS uses for its student courses; the intent is to give coordinators a good understanding of how students' online courses are delivered so they are better able to answer students' delivery-related questions. According to the 2004–06 VHS evaluation conducted by Learning Point Associates, approximately 90 percent of site coordinators who participated in satisfaction surveys during both of these school years indicated that the VHS training and orientation effectively prepared them to understand the program, use the technology, and recruit and register students. 25 In Michigan, MVS maintains a staff of regional ambassadors whose responsibilities include visiting schools in their territory and offering site coordinator training based on the school's needs. For example, an ambassador may train the coordinator in how to navigate the provider's Web site, enroll students, or generate student progress reports. An ambassador also can explain whom to contact for technical support or can provide answers to questions about courses and enrollment dates.
|Baseline Technology Requirements for School or District
While an online course provider must design and deliver high-quality courses, school leaders must ensure that their site has the technological capacity to support course delivery. Despite the increasing integration of such high-tech interactive media as electronic whiteboards, chat rooms, and audio and video streaming, technology requirements for districts and schools are actually fairly simple: Students need a computer with high-speed, broadband Internet access and properly adjusted settings for the firewall, which is designed to control access (e.g., to certain Web sites). Most schools provide computer access through computer labs, which are open to students throughout the day and, in some cases, after regular school hours or on weekends. Because online courses are designed to operate with one or more, but usually not all Web browsers (i.e., the software that allows a computer to read and interact with Web text, images, and tools), districts or schools also must ensure that their computers are outfitted with a browser (e.g., Explorer, Safari, Firefox) compatible with the online courses it plans to offer.
The time commitment required for a site coordinator depends, in part, on the number of students interested in online learning. Some districts assign a district-level coordinator who works with multiple schools. In Chesterfield County Public Schools, Va., for instance, where several schools offer courses through VHS, one district-level coordinator supports all of them. In other instances, each school has its own coordinator, often a current teacher or counselor who has been asked to pick up additional responsibilities.
Evaluating Site Coordinators' Support and Drawing on Coordinators' Knowledge to Improve the Program
Because site coordinators play a critical linking role between programs and local schools, it is important to ensure that these coordinators receive the support they need to be successful. Several of the programs profiled in this guide conduct regular surveys of site coordinators and other key parties (e.g., principals and teachers) to monitor the effectiveness of their communication with and support of coordinators.
VHS contracts with a nonprofit education organization, Learning Point Associates, to conduct a biannual evaluation and measure VHS's progress toward meeting program goals. In the most recent evaluation, encompassing the 2004–05 and 2005–06 school years, 96 percent of the site coordinators responding to the evaluator's survey reported that they were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with support services, including the technical and procedural aspects of course enrollment. However, they did suggest additional assistance in recruiting students. And both site coordinators and teachers wanted VHS to facilitate more communication between them and VHS.
Site coordinator surveys also can be used to improve the overall program. IOAPA uses its site coordinators as key resources for understanding the larger context of advanced course work in Iowa districts. Survey responses of 180 site coordinators painted a picture of varying district practices for labeling advanced courses and different grading policies. Overall, responses identified a trend toward more AP courses; however, they also identified several barriers to AP enrollment and success, including students' anxiety about the workload and lack of general study skills. 26 By understanding the district policies and contexts more fully, IOAPA can plan better student supports and encourage districts to establish or clarify policies to improve students' success in advanced courses, both in school and online.

"It's all about combining accuracy and aesthetics in the interest of transforming people's understanding…"
Morgan Ryan
In his popular 1993 book Taming the Atom, on the breaking revolution in visualizing the atomic realm, Hans Christian von Baeyer quoted Democritus: "I had rather discover one true explanation than be king of Persia." An emerging community of crossover artists—scientists who animate—is living up to this philosophy in creating explanatory graphics. Their movies are data-driven, cinematic, scientifically sophisticated and entertaining. These new fantastic voyages cross molecular terrain, using the same software (and in one case, the same person) that churns out the enchanted special-effects environments in which Harry Potter and the Hobbit live. Hollywood-based Eric Keller is a well-known 3D instructor and special-effects animator who must budget his time between molecular projects and (his scientific colleagues pridefully note) next summer's action blockbuster.
In this new genre of cinematic art, there is already a star walk. The admirers of Drew Berry, at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Australia, talk about him the way Cellini talked about Michelangelo. Janet Iwasa, now at Harvard, may have been the first scientific animation postdoc. The imaginitive Graham Johnson is now studying at the Scripps Research Institute, home of the great molecular portraitist David Goodsell (whose work appeared in the previous issue of American Scientist). Their productions can be seen at sites such as DNAtube.com, labaction.com, and molecularmovies.org, a showcase website curated by Gaël McGill, director of molecular visualization at Harvard Medical School, proprietor of the science-focused design shop Digizyme, creator of the image at left and author of the quote under the title above. McGill tells of working with a researcher to animate the activity of a fusion protein, after which his delighted collaborator reported that the process of translating data into animation had taught him new ways of studying the protein. "Visualization is not necessarily the end of the process," says McGill. "It can inform discovery."

Multinational company Bertelsmann is reportedly in advanced talks to buy out partner KKR's share of their joint publishing company BMG Rights. The New York Post reports that the two sides have been in discussions for almost a year about a sale. KKR owns 51 percent of BMG Rights, while Bertelsmann owns the remaining 49 percent.
Sources tell the Post that a deal is "imminent" but could still fall through, as the partners have yet to agree on a price tag. "They are very close to something with KKR, and the relationship is amicable," a source told the paper. "They will exit at a good multiple."
KKR has been a partner in BMG since 2009 and the Post notes that the private equity firm typically looks to exit from its investments after four or five years. Bertelsmann could also turn around and bring in another partner on BMG Rights, with Samsung a reported possibility.
Sources also told the Post that BMG is in the mix to potentially acquire Concord Music Group, which could sell for $125 million.

As long as we find beautiful fabric that brings someone's heart a smile when they see the love we have put into a quilt, it really doesn't matter where we have purchased it. I love every place I find a piece of fabric that makes me smile.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
As long as we find beautiful fabric that brings someone's heart a smile when they see the love we have put into a quilt, it really doesn't matter where we have purchased it. I love every place I find a piece of fabric that makes me smile.
Some people just like to impress others I guess. I have bought stuff from just about everywhere and don't care what others think. I get what I like and don't care what the "quilt police" say, I haven't been arrested yet.
Ok, I have read every post in this thread with amusement, as with so many other threads in the past discussing the pros and cons of JoAnns and others. I'll throw my two cents in. IN MY OPINION, I have 3 Joanns all about the same 30 miles or so in distance, but in different directions, and I do MOST of my shopping in 2 of the three ( the smaller of the three but the largest of the three by far is also very pleasant to shop in, with several cutters and every time I have been in, at least 5 cashiers. I have never had a problem with staff, I usually stick to buying the premium brands of fabric, but occasionally will pick up some Keepsake, all my notions, iron-on embroidered patches, battings and interfacings, purse making hardware, and occasionally, a book or pattern. I NEVER pay full price, I go armed with coupons from Internet (DH gets them to his email too), the mailers, and anywhere I can find them. I study the sale brochure I get in the mail, make a list of things I want, and if I can't use all the coupons, I give them to someone else shopping that might not have them. I always rummage through the red tag table, and most of the time, manage to save an average of 50% on my total bill. I also have a 10% off total purchase VIP card, even on sale and red tag fabrics. When I receive a coupon for 25% off total purchase, I wait until that is good and shop then. Recently, I looked at Batiks which were not on sale, so I took advantage of one of my 50% coupons to get a couple of yards. In a nutshell, I do my homework to get the most out of the coupons and sales they offer. I rarely need to get something in particular that can't wait until it is either NOT on sale so I can use a coupon, or it is on sale for 40-50% off. If they are busy at the cutting table, I check first, then take a number and continue shopping until my number is called. I usually meet such nice people shopping and will usually strike up a conversation while waiting. I only had one mistake on a receipt, which they fixed immediately. I am sure lucky my experiences with customer service have been good. I feel sorry for you who do not have good employees in your Joanns. I would love to be able to afford to always shop at a LQS, but just can't. When I do go in, I usually look for the sale table or rack and only buy then. (Having just said that, I forgot I did buy at full price the entire set of 9 McKenna Ryan Home Tweet Home patterns and the background/sashing/border fabrics at a LQS on a shop Hop this year). I just enjoy the shopping experience, fondling the fabric! I don't feel I buy inferior fabrics, I check the quality, and so far have been happy with what I buy. I also LOVE Connecting Threads, and have bought a few times from Hancocks on line, but still prefer to buy in person. 'Nuff said-I'm going to bed to dream about the fabric I am NOT buying now because of my moratorium for the year(or until I break down and blow it!)
Agree, agree, agree.....
It's not the fabric I dislike but the customer service. There's never enough people cutting (usually one) and you literally have to take a number and wait in a long line. Then there's only 1 cashier when you're finished. I used to work there about 8 years ago and it has always been that way.
I shop at Joann's all the time. A few years ago they started having better quilting fabric. They still have some of the stuff that is not the best but they also have other choices for better fabric. I love getting the coupons in the mail and paper but sometimes I get irritated because the coupons do not work on stuff that is on sale and they put just about everything "on sale". I wish they would let the coupons work on anything.
Buckeye Rose, I am with you on this.... I also go armed with coupons to JoAnn's. It is VERY seldom I ever pay full price for quality fabric (.i.e. Kona etc.) alway's 40% to 50% off. I had my husband sign up for their flyer also, this way I get double 50% coupons each month. I have purchased fabric on-line, LQS, and Walmart also. But, when I can save 50%, I do it! Bevster
I learned a valuable lesson about fabric. I went to JoAnn and bought a charm pack just to practice using my Dresden ruler. After I practiced I was going to my LQS and buy some "nice" fabric to make my granddaughter a quilt. Well, I liked the fabric from JoAnn so much, I went and bought 2 more charm packs and I made a beautiful quilt that my Granddaughter loved.
Everyone here as made all the comments I was going to make. What I have heard is the fabric may not last as long. I have a quilt that was made for me from 'heirloom quality' fabrics from an LQS, it was washed gently once and is only about 8 years old, it is very lightly used but has three tears. I have another one made from Keepsake Calicos from Joanns that is 15 years old, used very roughly by kids, grandkids and washed often. It also has three small tears, but is soooooo soft now. A quilt is only as good as how much it is loved. Enjoy the process, the hobby and the great people you will meet along the way.
¸..·´¨¨)) -:¦:-

Fabric choice can make all the difference. Be fearless.
I do not have a problem shopping at JoAnn's. I just wish the lines were not so long at the cutting table and again at the register. I worked at a quilt shop for several years so I have a nice stash but now that most of the LQS's are closing, I go where there is fabric if I need something I do not have. Did you know that Hobby Lobby has their own line of fabric and they also have coupons weekly in the paper and on line. We have the Road To California Quilt Show next week and I am making my list and checking it twice.

United States Attorney's Office
Northern District of Iowa
December 22, 2011
Waterloo Man Pleads Guilty To Financial Aid Fraud
A man who defraued the U.S. Department of Education out of at least $62,000 pled guilty on December 21, 2011, in federal court in Cedar Rapids.
Roy Lee Turner, III, age 31, from Waterloo, Iowa, was convicted of one count of financial aid fraud.
In a plea agreement, Turner admitted that, between about January 2006 and July 2007, he participated in a scheme to fraudulently obtain federal student loan funds. As part of the scheme, Turner and others registered for classes at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and applied for federal financial aid to pay for the classes and other educational expenses. Turner and others applied for the federal student aid intending to use the funds for non-educational purposes. Financial aid funds that were not used by Kirkwood for tuition and fees were forwarded to Turner and others in the form of checks. Turner and others used the proceeds from the checks for their own, non-educational, purposes. Over the course of the scheme, Turner and others fraudulently caused the U.S. Department of Education to issue at least $62,000 in student aid principal.
Sentencing before United States District Court Chief Judge Linda R. Reade will be set after a presentence report is prepared. Turner remains free on bond previously set pending sentencing. Turner faces a possible maximum sentence of 5 years' imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, a $100 special assessment, and 3 years of supervised release following any imprisonment.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Peter Deegan and was investigated by the United States Department of Education.
Court file information is available at https://ecf.iand.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/login.pl. The case file number is CR 11-152 LRR.

I must have bought the last one! I just added it on with the Maadi kit when i ordered. I am not really attached to it as it just seemed a good deal. Never built a milled kit before. If you would like to do a swap for a good FTF industries stamped front end one would that work for you? I would like to keep the bolt and cover unless theirs come with one. They have them listed on Gunbroker at 99? I like to have some "parts" laying around for inspiration. I was looking at building a fixed stock yugo more then the milled kit. email@example.com

For those of us who help create and manage social media campaigns across many platforms, changes to any social media channel's format often present a host of challenges – and opportunities. Once you're past the angst of having to deal with an entirely new format, it's time to think about ways you can leverage this new development to your advantage. Here are just a few creative ways you can use Facebook's new Timeline layout to elevate your brand:
Design Creative Cover Photos
Like an overpowering billboard, the new 851 x 351 pixel "cover photo" is up to you to plan and use effectively. With a little creative elbow grease, you can transform this expansive area into something downright awesome. Not everyone is capable of graphically designing with the complexity of the space provided in mind, let alone using the free online opportunity to their real advantage.
Yes…there are rules to using this space to Facebook's specifications. This is not a space for commercial use. Inviting your visitors to like your website, or tell your friends about your business is not allowed. Nor can you include such things as price or purchase locations – and don't think this is a place for your business address and contact information. But do think of it as a first impression to your brand's overall image, a visual "hello" to old and new fans.
Don't let that discourage you from promoting your business. If you're stumped, take a moment to review these examples of effective Facebook Timelines.
There's no reason you can't use your timeline area to promote the benefits of your brand – and change the image out frequently to keep your Facebook audience interested and engaged in your ongoing progress.
Pin Or Star It For Emphasis
Some information on your page may be promotional in nature. Pinning your posts to the top of your page will keep that one special post at the top of your timeline for an entire week (7 days). If you're running a business promotion or have a conversation that's become extremely popular, pinning your post to the top is one way to control the content on your timeline page without the previous landing page options.
Pinning is easy:
On your Facebook fan page timeline, choose the post you wish to pin to the top.
Hover your mouse over the top right hand corner of the post and the pencil will appear with the options Edit or remove.
Click to Enlarge Image
Click the pencil.
The menu will now appear with the option to Pin to Top.
Select Pin to Top.
Another Timeline option Facebook as enabled is the ability to "star" posts – enabling them to be given preference in your timeline. A starred post will expand to display across the full-page of your profile – a wide 403 pixels. Consider starring messages that have great images of your brand, or even you, to emphasize its importance to your audience. Here's a great example that includes a video in the post – for a wider screen appeal:
Celebrate Your Brand's History
Facebook's Timeline features "milestones" – a great way for you to make special note of your brand's development over time. Did you start in a garage only to grow into an office? We're products or services added to your company mix that were new to your business sector? Milestones are a great way to tell your brand's story in historical order. Don't forget to make note of any awards you've received, sales goals achieved, or new campaign launches that may have been memorable.
Here's another good opportunity to engage your employees – and even your fans to help you identify which milestones they feel were most important in your development. You might even be surprised by their answers and insights!
This tactic works especially well for older brands with rich histories that have been ingrained in our culture. Take for example Ford and ESPN – both of whom share old television campaigns we may likely remember (if you're old enough!).
One consideration here is to review all of the past content your brand has used, and integrate them into your timeline as historical milestones.
Create A Contest
One of the first and most talked about Facebook/Timeline contests has been from Red Bull. The socially savvy used their own timeline as a platform to launch a well received scavenger hunt. By searching through the brand's timeline, and learning about their key milestones, clues were provided to win the contest. A simple and effective way to both educate and engage a loyal following of growing fans.
Or, for example, take Coca-Cola – who has hidden clues and riddles in their posts on their Facebook page. Once unlocked, it takes you to a third-party website; an easy way to track the promotions click-through rates to prizes.
There's no doubt these are just the beginning of many creative applications to come from agencies and brands around the world. As the administrator of your brand's Facebook page, it's time you started thinking about ways to creatively use it to your unique advantage.
How are you planning to use it for your brand's page?

Re: James Harrison
Don't think he gets suspended. King makes a decent point:
I've watched the replay maybe 10 times now. Colt McCoy leaves the pocket, runs to his left, tucks the ball under his right arm, and a step or step-and-a-half before making contact with Harrison, pulls the ball out and quickly flips it to Montario Hardesty. Harrison hits McCoy helmet-to-helmet right in McCoy's facemask, and McCoy falls to the turf. Harrison gets flagged for roughing the passer.
Here's where the debate comes in, and why I believe it will be hard for the NFL to suspend Harrison: If McCoy was viewed as a runner -- which he surely would be while having the ball tucked under his arm, with no intention of throwing it -- then once he is out of the pocket, he is treated like a running back, not a quarterback. And a runner can be hit helmet-to-helmet without penalty.
But if a quarterback leaves the pocket with the intention still to pass, he loses some protection from the rules of being in the pocket. He can be hit low, and the one-step rule about hitting a quarterback after the release of the ball goes away.
After the game, Harrison told reporters: "From what I understand, once the quarterback leaves the pocket, he's considered a runner.''
Not exactly. If he leaves the pocket and looks to be intending to throw, he can't be hit helmet-to-helmet. If he leaves the pocket and appears to be a runner, he can be hit helmet-to-helmet.
It'll be a close call for discipline czars Ray Anderson and Merton Hanks to decide next week. And Harrison should have aimed lower anyway. But I don't know how they look at the replay and say McCoy isn't a runner when he has the ball tucked under his right arm. And is running.
I posted something similar earlier. McCoy had left the pocket and was a threat to run. He will get a fine for leading with the helmet but no suspension warrantedWorld Domination 3 Points at a Time!
Re: James Harrison
If it were most players, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. Given Harrison's history... I suspend and fine. I know for certain the NFL won't suspend him, because they're in a playoff chase and losing Harrison while also having a gimpy Woodley would be a significant loss.

Re: James Harrison
Now that I think about it, he's definitely getting suspended. I'm sure Goddell has an axe to grind over Harrison's comments over the summer during the lockout. Goddell couldn't do anything at the time and now is his chance. I bet he's actually happy he has the opportunity now.

Re: James Harrison
He didn't have to hit him high, but chose to. He needs to be suspended. There is a history. He needs to stop leading with the crown of his freaking helmet, him and Ryan Clark, now that I have thought about it."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector.

Re: James Harrison
Here's an ESPN article on the subject. It looks like we'll find out tomorrow.
I, for one, am very interested in the outcome. Not only does this influence the SF game, but I plan on taking the results of the decision as a barometer for how seriously the league takes its "player safety" mantra. Obviously fines have little effect on his behavior:
- For all the numerous fines he received last year, far more than any other player, they amount to 3% of his salary.
- Because of his notoriety, he was brought in for that infamous Men's Journal interview (maybe recoup the fines on that?)
- He's establishing a hard-hitting reputation for a defense and a team that pays him as such
If he's not suspended, I'm not sure I can take the league's mission seriously.

Re: James Harrison
I think he should be suspended, so he can possibly get the message. The play involving Harrison is a little tricky because McCoy looked to become a runner;but, Harrison made the decision to use the crown of his helmet. When you watch the replay, Harrison at the last second lowers his head and delivers the hit with the crown of his helmet.
To my knowledge they have never suspended a player due to an in game hit. He didn't throw a punch, kick, or taunt. I don't think the league will cross that line but if they do... Here we goWorld Domination 3 Points at a Time!

Re: James Harrison
Everybody is screaming for a suspension and when analysts write about it . Thats the icing on the cake. The league has to send a message, fines are not working.When Ray goes to Canton, I'm going too.
