text: I've been looking through the glass on the side of my top bar hive for a couple of months seeing few or no bees. Day before yesterday, the first really warm day for a LONG time there were several bees out flying, coming and going, that I figured were a few still alive taking a cleansing flight before their final demise. Later that afternoon, I saw quite a few bees and thought, oh, oh, that defenseless hive is being robbed. The next day, especially warm and beautiful after a very long cold spell, there were hundreds of bees coming and going, and I was SURE that the hive was being robbed. Later I noticed that some were bringing in pollen... SAY WHAT. Then I noticed that lots of dandelions were bloom... HUH?... after days and days of snow and ice (they had to have been uinder the snow, bloom and all). That evening I looked through the glass side, and I could see 6,000,987,451 bees. Those little jerks must have been clustering over on the other side of the hive where I couldn't see them... just to drive me nuts no doubt.

As a future criminal justice professional, students need to use good judgment in all areas of their personal, professional, and scholastic interactions and activities; and must keep their records clean. Criminal justice organizations require background checks for internships, volunteer placements, and employment; which will include adult and juvenile civil and criminal issues, official and informal contacts with police, and character references. Employment will also hinge on the successful completion of a polygraph, credit check, and psychological evaluation.
Be aware that character counts and your behavior can sabotage your ability to graduate from this program and your ability to work in the field. Consider what your actions and criminal history says about you….i.e. an OWI conviction indicates that you demonstrate poor judgment by drinking to excess and deciding to drive, which may kill or injure you or another person. Remember your personal behaviors (what you didn't get caught for) will be revealed during the polygraph, and what you do privately (when no one is watching or supervising) speaks volumes as to the true content of one's character.
If you want to work in criminal justice avoid these issues:
You will not be employable in criminal justice if you have:
Ultimately, criminal justice employers will rationalize your behavior by this criteria: If you know or reasonably believe an action is illegal or will cause harm then the best candidate will take responsibility, demonstrate self-control, and not do it.
Lastly, employers will ask our faculty for references. Students need to know that full time faculty and adjunct faculty members are constantly formally and informally assessing students in terms of academic performance, attendance, honesty, professionalism, social skills, maturity, and appearance so that we can make objective assessments when asked. Your interactions count, and we are here to mentor you.

Movie Review: Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel
One of the greatest men in film is immortalized in a new documentary.
Director: Alex Stapleton MPAA Rating: R Studio: Anchor Bay Films
Reigning six unchallenged decades as Hollywood's sultan of schlock and its legendary "King of the Killer B's," the astoundingly prolific, highly influential director-producer-distributor Roger Corman has been way overdue as the subject of a documentary. Still working well into his 80s, Corman and his 50-odd, ultra low-budget, one-take wonder cult classic hits like A Bucket of Blood, Attack of the Crab Monsters, The Little Shop of Horrors and The Masque of the Red Death finally get that well-deserved big screen treatment in a loving, entertaining, good-humoured rundown of his life and accomplishments.
The movie, crisply directed by Alex Stapleton and co-written by Stapleton and Gregory Locklear, features lots of fun clips and commentary by such blue ribbon talking heads whose careers were either launched or given a boost by Corman, notably Jack Nicholson (particularly moving and emotional), Martin Scorsese, Peter Bogdanovich, Joe Dante, William Shatner, Ron Howard, Jonathan Demme and others.
There has always been more to the innovative, run-and-gun, D.I.Y. moviemaker-showman than blood, ballistics and bosoms, as this French kiss of a movie proves. After all, he directed an impassioned, powerful 1961 film about racism, The Intruder (his only money-loser, of course). And it is because of his good taste and business know-how that 70s films from Fellini and Bergman got released in the U.S. Today, though the movie business has marginalized him and his brand, Corman is a touchstone figure to many and the trim, efficient Corman's World puts him and his world in clear, affectionate perspective.

The Hyde Celebrates 50 Years As a Museum!
The Hyde Celebrates Fifty Years as a Museum, 1963-2013
Museum-Wide Exhibitions and Programming Planned
Throughout 2013, The Hyde Collection celebrates its fiftieth year as a public museum with an exciting and diverse calendar of exhibitions, events, and programs. The Hyde's permanent collection has over 3,300 works of fine and decorative arts, and the focus of the golden anniversary programs will be on objects that have entered the Museum's permanent collection since 1963.
From January 27 through April 14, 2013, the exhibition 50 at 50: Five Decades of Collecting at The Hyde, 1963-2013 will present fifty works of art in the Wood Gallery. Featuring objects acquired by the Museum since the death of Charlotte Pruyn Hyde (1867-1963), the exhibition offers an unprecedented opportunity to reflect on the careful deliberation the Museum exercises in making acquisitions that enhance the legacy of the collection formed by her and Louis Fiske Hyde (1865-1934), her husband.
This exhibition will focus on the fastest growing area of the Museum's collection, which is modern and contemporary art including paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture by such artists as Joseph Beuys (1921-1986), Robert Cottingham (b. 1935), Sam Gilliam (b. 1933), Adolph Gottlieb (1903-1974), Philip Guston (1913-1980), Keith Haring (1958-1991), Dame Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975), Sol Lewitt (1928-2007), Diego Rivera (1886-1957), and David Smith (1906-1965).
Another component of the Museum's golden anniversary celebration is an exhibition of works by Dorothy Dehner (1901-1994) from the permanent collection. Titled Dorothy Dehner at The Hyde, and presented in Hoopes Gallery, it will include prints, drawings, watercolors, and a bronze sculpture by this important American modernist. Dehner studied in New York City at the Art Students League and the leading printmaking studio, Atelier 17. The Glens Falls region was once home to the artist who lived in Bolton Landing, New York from 1940 to 1950. The Hyde has a long history of exhibiting and collecting the work of Dorothy Dehner, presenting a solo exhibition of her works in 1967, and hosting a major retrospective in 1993. Many of the works featured in this special exhibition are recent gifts to the Museum from the Dorothy Dehner Foundation for the Visual Arts.
With these two exhibitions in honor of our donors, recognized and anonymous, The Hyde wishes to acknowledge the extraordinary generosity of these patrons, whose gifts of works of art are the lifeblood of The Hyde Collection.
In addition to the two exhibitions, a special 50 at 50 logo will be placed throughout Hyde House and the Education Wing highlighting works acquired by The Hyde Collection after 1963. Both exhibitions are curated by Hyde chief curator and interim co-director Erin B. Coe and associate curator Jayne Stokes.
Sponsors for 50 at 50: Fifty Years of Collecting at The Hyde are The Adirondack Trust Company, Finch Paper, LLC , The Chronicle Newspaper, and the J.M. McDonald Foundation.

401 (k) Plans
- 401(k) In-Plan Roth Conversions
You may have heard the buzz … 401(k) plans can now permit in-plan Roth conversions. But is this an option for you?
- Borrowing or withdrawing money from your 401(k) plan
If you have a 401(k) plan at work and need some cash, you might be tempted to borrow or withdraw money from it. But keep in mind that the purpose of a 401(k) is to save for retirement.
- Deciding what to do with your 401(k) plan when you change jobs
When you change jobs, you have to decide what to do with the money in your 401(k) plan. Generally, you have several options. You can withdraw your funds in a lump sum, leave them where they are, or roll over the funds directly or indirectly to your new employer's retirement plan or to an IRA. Carefully weigh the tax consequences of each option and how your retirement savings will be affected before making a decision.
- The Economics of Borrowing from Your 401(k)
When times are tough, that pool of dollars sitting in your 401(k) plan account may start to look attractive. But before you decide to take a plan loan, be sure you understand the financial impact. It's not as simple as you think.
- Understanding 401(k) Plan Fees and Expenses

People often say that Ring of Honor features the highest quality wrestling of any American promotion.
What an insult.
I'm being a bit feceitious when I write that, but the fact is that Ring of Honor's long-standing reputation as "the work rate promotion" fails to acknowledge everything that the company brings to the table. Yes, you are almost always guaranteed at least a couple of matches in the four-star range when you watch a major ROH show. But ROH is about so much more than that.
After a tough few months during which ROH tried to find its footing in the wake of losing Nigel McGuinness and Bryan Danielson at the same time, the Philadelphia-based promotion is once again banging on all cylinders, and reminding mainstream wrestling fans how refreshing it can be to have an alternative to TNA and WWE.
Indeed, ROH's athletes have put on several stellar performances in recent months. At April's "Big Bang" Internet pay-per-view alone, two matches – The Briscoe Brothers vs. The Kings of Wrestling and the triple threat match featuring Tyler Black, Austin Aries and Roderick Strong – were both early Match of the Year candidates.
But that show also featured another one of ROH's best traits, and one that is too often taken for granted – its ability to tell stories.
Consider this: It was nearly four months after Kevin Steen betrayed his longtime partner El Generico before the two had any kind of physical contact at all. When they finally did at the Big Bang, where Generico teamed with Colt Cabana against Steen and Steve Corino, the atompshere was intense to say the least.
But even in that match, the physicality between Steen and Generico was reserved for when it made the most impact. Now, heading into this weekend's ROH event in Chicago, the "Come-As-You-Are Streetfight" between these same two teams is a legitimate main event.
Now that's the kind of disciplined wrestling storytelling you don't see much these days. If it were TNA, we could expect Generico and Steen to split, wrestle each other, get back together again, and split again within two hours. WWE is better disciplined in its storylines, but even it tends to rush through key angles in feuds that could be spread out over several months.
The same kind of patient, intricate booking has been on display in the ongoing saga between Roderick Strong and ROH heavyweight champion Tyler Black. As a friend of Black, Strong agreed to be his hand-picked ringside judge when Black beat Aries for the title back in February. But he did so on one condition – that Black would give Strong a title shot.
Strong got that title shot at the Big Bang, but Jim Cornette threw a monkey wrench into things when he added Aries to the mix. Strong was infuriated at the decision, and further disheartened when he was the first one eliminated during that match.
ROH announced last week that Strong would finally get his one-on-one title shot against Black at an upcoming New York event in May. A match that could have conceivably been put together at any time in the last five months now feels like a uniquely big deal. And Strong, who has spent much of his seven-year ROH career in the mid-card, is now a true main-event star.
Again, wrestling storytelling at its finest.
There have been numerous other examples in recent months: the ROH TV title tournament culminating with partners Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards competing in the finals; estranged former tag team partners Chris Hero and Claudio Castignoli reuniting to challenge for and win the tag team championship; aging veteran Jerry Lynn coming out of semi-retirement to seek vengeance against the man who nearly ended his career, Kenny King.
It's a disservice to ROH to only praise its wrestlers' ability to put on great matches. Their ability - and those of ROH bookers – to tell great stories is every bit as important.

Do it already, would you?
P.S. Сongrats on making it to our "DMCA Jedi" blog series:

I find it interesting that Mr. Amari challenges you to "create" something of your own when he has made his living off the backs of other people. His "Radio Spirits" company was/is nothing more than a shyster company making money from old radio programs that he had absolutely NOTHING to do with creating. He has now gotten so desperate for money that he spends his days cruising the internet for someone he can sue. Not very "creative" if you ask me. Just sad.ReplyDelete
Just a footnote: You don't need to register copyright in Sweden. If you create something you automatically have what could be translated as "originators right" and that includes no obligation to record anything with any authority. it works roughly like US copyright but it's not exactly the same.ReplyDelete
The dude seems like a proper asshole though. Kudos on great site!
I would think that CBS would be interested in finding out how their name is so casually tossed around by someone who is not a representative of their company. Additionally, I would think that they would want someone who did use their name to have more decorum than what is displayed here, no matter how you jab at them. Perhaps it is time to let CBS know how their web presence is being affected by this individual's actions.ReplyDelete

Top water tips for bass
One of the most thrilling experiences on fresh water is when a chunky bass, be it a largemouth or smallmouth, blows up on a surface bait. When there's a hot topwater bite, chances are you'll also catch some of the biggest fish of the season. So to help you enjoy more success on top, here are some tips that have helped me score throughout the years.
Poppers, walkers, buzzers, prop baits, frogs, rats... there's no shortage of lure styles, sizes and colors for catching bass on the surface. What's best? All of them respectively, depending who you ask and on what day you ask them. As far as which one is most versatile, my money is on the revered buzz bait - and I'll tell you why.
Buzz baits work great on all bass, anywhere where bass are found. They're so versatile because you can swim them across open water, around and over submerged timber, in and around lilly pads, through bulrushes - anywhere! They're virtually 100 percent weed-proof, and I don't have to tell you how heavy cover attracts predatory bass.
Another nice thing about buzz baits is their ability to perform at any speed. They stay on top with a slow retrieve, and also create havoc when blasted back at high speed. And here's a tip: have a buzz bait that has a very light body along with an oversized blade, since you'll be able to buzz that bait very slowly when bass are neutral to negative during cold fronts.
Fishing slowly in cold conditions works with all the other surface bait types too. A good rule of thumb is, the hotter it is - the more energized the lure presentation can be. Also remember, any time you're in some nasty cover, go weedless with buzz baits, snag-proof frogs and rats. In open water, I'll almost always opt for double trebles hanging down to improve my hook setting odds.
When a bass hammers your topwater lure, avoid the most common mistake anglers make. They tend to set the hook right when they see the strike. This often results in a miss since the bass has not yet closed its mouth around the lure. Wait one or two seconds after the strike before setting the hook and you'll catch more fish.
The equipment you use can have a big effect on your topwater success too. Use a good stout rod between 6.5 and 8 feet long. Spool up with fat monofilament line, in the 14-17 pound range. Bigger diameter mono is perfect not only for its strength, but because it floats nice which improves the action of all topwater baits.
To enhance the action of surface lures even more, use a loop knot instead of a knot that cinches all the way down on the lure eye. This is especially crucial on "walk the dog" lures like the Zara Spook. The loop know allows the bait to turn and glide a lot better than traditional knots. The addition of a split ring to the lure eye will have a similar effect, although I think split rings can sometimes undermine the intended action of the bait.
Finally, another little trick on topwaters is to dress up the rear end of the bait. On plugs, add a little feather or hair to the rear hook. On buzz baits, add a stinger hook with a twist-tail grub body or strip of pork rind. Doing these modifications gives the lure a larger profile, enhanced action and helps turn short-strikes into hooked fish.
I hope these pointers increase your topwater thrills this summer. I could keep writing, but I just saw a bass boil in glass-calm water out my window. Think I'll go walk out on the dock and throw him a topwater!
Good fishing.

Prior to conducting malware removal, you should have performed the previous two phases of Identification and Information Gathering to determine what malware you have and decide the best way to remove it. In addition you whould back up your complete system and create an emergency boot disk before attempting any malware removal. Be sure to back up any data files that are important to you and your email files. See the pages called Creating a Windows Emergency Boot Disk and How to Backup your Data and System.
There are two ways to remove malware from your computer.
- Automatic – This involves using an anti-virus, anti-spyware, or anti-malware tool of some kind.
- Manual – This involves stopping processes, deleting or renaming files, and editing the system registry.
Automatic Malware Removal
There are several possible ways to do an automatic removal of adware or malware. In all cases, it is best to boot the system to "Safe Mode" before attempting the removal. In Windows 2000, this can be done by pressing the F8 key while the system is booting, then select "Safe Mode" from the menu. You will need to login as a local administrator after booting.
If your operating system is Windows XP or Windows Me, turn off Windows System Restore before running the scan because it may restore deleted files which support the removed adware. Windows Me and XP have a system restore feature that may prevent removal of malware files. The link at http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm will explain how to turn off the system restore feature and then turn it back on.
Automatic removal may be possible using one of the methods listed below:
- Use the "Add/Remove Programs" applet in the Control Panel.
- Use a removal tool provided by the creator of the adware or spyware.
- Use an anti-virus or anti-malware removal tool which is specifically made to remove one specific infection.
- Use an anti-spyware or anti-adware removal program tool which is not geared for a particular infection.
Removal with add/remove programs or Adware Company removal tool
The first two ways assume the adware creator is legitimate. Some adware is created by companies that are legitimate and have some integrity but you must be sure of this before removing adware . Their adware software may be listed in the "Add Remove Programs" section of your computer Control Panel. You should first have researched information about their processes and software to determine whether removal using "Add Remove Programs" will work properly. They may also provide a removal tool which may be downloaded. If this is the case, you must try to get some idea whether their tool will ruin your system if you run it.
Use of a Removal Tool for a Specific Infection
If you have found a removal tool specifically created to remove the malware, (whether it is a virus, adware, or spyware) this is the best option. These kind of removal tools are made to correct the damage done to your system by the malware that your system is infected with.
Use of a Non-Specific Malware Removal Tool
These types of tools include anti-virus tools such as Norton Anti-virus, anti-adware tools such as Ad-aware, and anti-spyware tools such as Spybot Search and Destroy. They will remove or quaranteen files, cookies and other information on your computer. Some tools may make changes to your system registry to undo damage done by the malware being removed. However these types of tools do not typically undo enough damage to keep your system working correctly if the malware has modified it to require the malware file to be present to run some system programs. Therefore, after researching to be sure the malware you have did not modify your system in such a way to cripple it when you remove the adware, or you have repaired the damage done to your system by the malware, it should be save to remove your malware using one of these automatic removal tools.

Target 13: Builder Breaks Laws, Stays In Business
Fiore Garippo Faces Many Complaints
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Pikes Peak Regional Building Department is a allowing a home improvement company to keep working, even though the owner has continued to break the law. Fiore Garippo owns Home Improvement One Stop Shopping, and has admitted to Target 13 Investigates that he's done work without proper permits or licenses.
Garippo has a long list of complaints from former clients who said they paid him thousands of dollars, only to end up with shoddy and unlicensed work on their homes. Home Improvement One Stop Shopping has an "F" rating with the Better Business Bureau, and contractors who have worked with Garippo said his business practices are appalling.
"They had done a lot of damage to this poor woman's home," recalls Mark McAninch, a contractor from Pueblo West, who briefly worked with Garippo's company. "She broke down in tears at least half a dozen times while I was there. That was the last straw for me."
Contractor Larry Lafferty told Target 13, it was watching Garippo try to take advantage of people that caused him to cut ties.
"The little old lady that he acts real sweet to, and all he's doing is milking her for everything she has," said Lafferty. "I mean, I thought that was a crime."
Garippo's criminal record spans several pages. Most of the charges are for theft, money issues and habitual traffic violations.
The Pikes Peak Regional Building Department found out Garippo was breaking its codes in 2009. He had been working without a license and pulling permits in homeowners names.
Since then, the building department has given Garippo several warnings and chances to act within the law. Target 13 obtained an e-mail to Garippo from Pikes Peak Regional Building attorney Todd Welch that said, "I thought I made it very clear we would not allow this to continue...This needs to STOP!"
Welch filed a lawsuit for a permanent injunction against Garippo's company, but dropped the case when Garippo promised to play by the rules, and work with a licensed contractor. Just a few weeks ago, Garippo showed Target 13 a basement remodel where he had pulled the permit in the homeowners name, and did all the work without a contractor.
We asked Welch why Garripo faces no sanctions from Pikes Peak Regional Building.
"It does appear we're being really easy on this guy," said Welch. "Regional Building is not trying to put Mr. Garippo out of business. What we're trying to do is make sure he follows the law, and he keeps promising me he will."
Garripo told Target 13 and Regional Building that he's now working with a licensed contractor from Eastern Colorado Builders. For now, he's getting another chance.
"My patience only goes so far," said Welch. "I think this is going to be his last chance, at least as far as I'm concerned."
The contractors who formerly worked with Garippo said they can't understand how he's is still in business.
"I am shocked and amazed that they're allowing this to continue as long as it has," said McAninch.
"I think Regional is screwing up," said Lafferty. "Because it's like the intersection where there's bad accidents, and they have to wait until 10 people get killed. I mean, if one person's hurt, it should stop. And this guy's hurting a lot of people."
Target 13 Investigates will continue to follow this story.

Researchers "Change the Laws of Physics" With Sub-Absolute Zero Quantum Gas

Lasers, magnetic fields coax lattice-arranged potassium gas into a bizarre state
Scientists have demonstrated a feat that your physics teacher may have told you was impossible -- they have created a material with a temperature below absolute zero. And the world below absolute zero is an unusual place indeed.
I. It's a Very, Very Mad World
Atoms float upwards, ignoring gravity. In a phenomenon that theoretical physicists believe mimic "dark energy", the atoms even stabilize in conditions that would normally crush inwards. It's as if gravity itself is being overridden and energetic arrangements that would normally create instability, instead stabilize. In short, we've entered the Twilight Zone of particle physics.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Wolfgang Ketterle
was a pioneer in the field of negative absolute temperatures. He remarks, "[With negative absolute temperatures it is] as though you can stand a pyramid on its head and not worry about it toppling over."
The MIT professor in a
new interview
lauds the new work by
Ulrich Schneider
of Munich, Germany's
Ludwig Maximilian University
and colleagues. In the work Professor Schneider demonstrates the first-ever peer-reviewed instance of a negative absolute temperature material breaking the absolute zero behavior.
The work began with Professor Schneider creating a peculiar quantum gas, using lasers and magnets. Composed of potassium atoms the gas was arranged into a lattice structure. A radical adjustment in the magnetic fields switches the atoms from the lowest energy state possible to the highest energy state possible.
The quantum gas is composed of potassium atoms. [Image Source: MaterialScientist]
Here is where the special behavior takes hold.
Normally the stabilizing repulsion of the original configuration would be replaced with an immense attraction, causing the system to collapse and implode. But thanks to the trapping lasers, the lattice instead remains stable in the new super-energized state. Comments Professor Schneider, "This suddenly shifts the atoms from their most stable, lowest-energy state to the highest possible energy state, before they can react. It's like walking through a valley, then instantly finding yourself on the mountain peak."
The result is a gas that by the formal definition of the Kelvin scale is a few billionths of a degree Kelvin below absolute zero (0 K).
II. Negative Absolute Temperatures? That's Really Cold, Right?
But don't be confused. The below-absolute-zero system is not cold. It is in fact very, very hot -- hotter than any positive Kelvin system. In cooler positive temperature systems, the numbers of particles in low-energy states outnumber those in high-energy states, giving rise to the formal quantum mechanics definition of temperature. Typically entropy pushes atoms to occupy lower energy states, on average.
Lord Kelvin's temperature scale is formally based on probability, not necessarily heat.
[Image Source: Unknown]
But in certain specialized quantum mechanical systems, the entropy actually decreases as the system energy (and "heat") increase, giving rise to a negative quantum temperature.
In other words, to understand this wild breakthrough, you must abandon your traditional notions of negative being cold and positive being hot and think in quantum terms. This isn't your high school physics teacher's negative temperature. It's a bizarre exercise in inverted entropy.
Could such a state be possible for the faster-than-expected expansion of the universe (a phenomena cosmologist attribute to
so-called "dark energy"
, a poorly understood mechanism)? Professor Schneider argues the idea is worth exploring. He comments, "It's interesting that this weird feature pops up in the Universe and also in the lab. This may be something that cosmologists should look at more closely."
Negative temperature materials could be a boon to both
theoretical particle physics
quantum computing
. But much work needs to be done to understand their bizarre new spin on physics.
The work by Prof. Schneider and his colleagues was
in the highly prestigious peer-reviewed journal
And if that makes your brain hurt, take a break and read the classic college urban legend of a physic professor's exam question of whether hell is exothermic or endothermic and his student's
epic response
"Vista runs on Atom ... It's just no one uses it". -- Intel CEO Paul Otellini

Marshall University Writing Project Satellite in Logan County, West Virginia
What's New
The General Accounting Office asserts that No Child Left Behind does not fall under the category of "unfunded mandate"; the Lincoln Center Institute has a website with information for students and educators, including an online library catalog; the Center for Education Reform has released the National Charter School Directory 2004 with information on almost 3,000 charter schools; and the Center for Research on the Education of Students Placed at Risk has a new website with information on how to use student data for decision making.
Innovations in the News
Some school districts do better than others in getting the word out about parent involvement under No Child Left Behind, plus information on school choice, supplemental educational services, teacher quality, and technology in schools.
Marshall University Writing Project's Satellite Site in Logan County, West Virginia Runs on Distance Learning
Few teachers from Logan County were prepared to drive four hours over mountainous terrain to attend the Marshall University Writing Project's summer institute in Huntington, West Virginia. Yet, Logan County, where the poverty rate for children is about twice the national average, was in dire need of new ways to instruct its students. In 1999, only 35 out of 453 10th graders in the county who took the statewide writing test scored a 3.5 or a 4 (on a 4.0 scale).
To serve the needs of the Logan County teachers, the Marshall University Writing Project established an online program with a curriculum for teacher professional development aligned with Logan County's academic goals. In the beginning, some of the teachers were as wary of the technology as they had been of crossing the mountains to go to Huntington. To help overcome this obstacle, the Writing Project site recruited student "Technology Specialists" to teach teachers advanced word processing skills, how to construct Power Point presentations, and how to send lesson plans to colleagues across the state.
The Logan County online "satellite site" now uses listservs; online, real-time chat room formats; and email to allow participating teachers to communicate with each other and others in physically remote counties. As a result, faculty members are able to engage in open dialogues on student progress, hold joint advisory board meetings, and plan events for the satellite site, all using computer technology. To communicate with students and parents during the school year, teachers learn how to post assignments, keep daily classroom journals, and display rubrics online.
Since the teachers of Logan County now use technology to communicate with ease in their remote location, involvement in site programs continues to increase. As active teacher and community involvement increase, so do test scores. Since the satellite site became active, the number of students who scored 3.5 or 4 on the statewide writing test in 2003 nearly tripled.
The emphasis on writing skills infuses the Logan County curriculum. For example, the director of the Logan County site, Laura Tracy Baisden, for example, requires students to write in her technical physics class at Logan Senior High School. She says the students' writing "helps me know whether they understand concepts and what I need to teach."
With this progress, the Logan County site now provides an invitational summer institute for teachers, writing development workshops during the school year in all subject areas, and a book club open to all Logan County community members. The site also runs creative writing camps for students.
The camps provide writing instruction that supplements what students learn during the school year. Instead of focusing on remediation, as the county previously had, the program encourages students in grades seven through 12 to enrich their skills. Students learn how to write specifically for the web, including creating web logs, and how to use the Internet to communicate with students in other states about local West Virginia history, for example. Writing Project teachers are encouraged to participate in two to three of the creative writing camps, so that they can relay their knowledge to students in an informal setting, without the pressure of school tests.
All of these programs are designed to help teachers communicate effective writing tools and techniques to students and community members alike. Laura Tracy Baisden says, "If we bring together strong teachers, who then teach other teachers the methods, skills, and ideas that work best for them, then we have a group of teacher leaders who share strong teaching practices. Best practices can be shared across the Internet, as well as across a desk."
The Marshall University Writing Project and the satellite site in Logan County are part of the network of more than 180 National Writing Project sites in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The National Writing Project and the local sites are funded through a grant administered by OII and by funds from local donors.
Reminders: Note: The featured professional development program is innovative, but does not necessarily have evidence of general effectiveness from a rigorous evaluation. The success of the program described may not be replicable, depending on unique conditions in differing locations.

Town Square
The chief's LOL moment
Original post made by Tim Hunt, Castlewood, on May 23, 2013
Certainly, BART parking lots can be targets, but those are patrolled by BART police and are not Pleasanton's responsibility.
Dave, like yours truly, asks just how likely it is for a thief to scoop up an armful of jeans at JCPenney and then run across the parking lot and into the BART station to wait for the next train to get out of Dodge.
That said, he related his latest LOL moment (that's laugh out loud for non-texting folks of my generation). Reviewing his email for the latest updates one morning, he broke out laughing when his officers reported arresting an ambitious thief who had heisted a 50-inch TV set from Walmart and was dragging it toward the Dublin-Pleasanton BART station along Owens Drive.
As the chief says, "we do catch the dumb ones."
It reminded me again to never say never.
During his visit with the men, Dave also related the challenges of running the department with the six frozen positions that he agreed a few years back when the city was feeling financial pressure from the recession. That is saving more than $1.2 million a year because paying for an officer with fully loaded costs is $202,000 a year—less than half of that is salary.
The challenge is that through normal attrition there are five funded positions (the authorized number of sworn officers is 87 positions with six frozen) that are currently vacant and being actively recruited. Mix in the typical temporary disability from work-related issues and covering patrol shifts can become challenging.
IN OTHER NEWS, Las Positas College President Kevin Walthers officially is headed for Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria.
Walters, as I reported earlier, was the top candidate and was formally approved by the board on a 4-1 vote this week. The dissenting trustee, as reported by the Santa Maria Times, based her vote on her doubt as to whether Walters, an Anglo, had enough experience with Hispanics to serve a district with a high student population of first-generation students and a majority of Latinos.
What was unusual was the contract was for just one year, starting July 8.

The terms of the contract were erroneously stated. It is a three-year contract with an annual review that can result in an extension.

So only ambitious criminals use BART? Interesting, when our fellow posters have been telling us all along that BART won't bring more crime to our city...........maybe they were just referring to the unambitious perps.

Auckland Council's water company is heading for a fight with its biggest customers as it tries to follow on from last July's controversial introduction of a single waste water tariff for all households across the region.
Having put households on the same user-pays basis, Watercare Services says it is now the turn of businesses.
Watercare says it inherited 44 different charging methods from the former local network operators and local councils when it took them over in 2010.
"Our non-domestic tariff review seeks to develop a fair and simplified tariff structure that also addresses the current regionally inconsistent charges," said spokesman Daniel Wrigley.
The company had 1250 responses from a survey and members of Watercare's board of directors would be in the panel that hears submissions from businesses next month on proposals. After the hearing, a tariff structure would be fully developed and modelled.
But the biggest industries and employers, which use up to a million litres of water a day for their products, have banded together to put their view to the company and the council.
"Some of the parties will be greatly affected - to their detriment," said lawyer Mai Chen, of Chen Palmer, representing some key players in talks with Watercare and Mayor Len Brown.
Auckland Chamber of Commerce chief executive Michael Barnett said Watercare was putting up four tariff options, each combining an annual fixed charge with a volumetric charge based on the fresh water coming in through the meter. The chamber was concerned about the situation facing two groups under an Auckland-wide tariff.
These were the big users of water and a group of small to medium businesses who had enjoyed favourable terms under the former council water retail companies before amalgamation.
Wastewater charges that cost more than $200,000 could increase to more than $1.5 million under the formula proposed.
"We cannot allow a situation in which otherwise competitive, successful businesses are put out of business because of an increase in wastewater charges," Mr Barnett said.
Watercare increased wastewater costs by 4.5 per cent in July 2011 and by 3.6 per cent in July 2012. It has a revenue target of $111 million from wastewater in 2013-14, based on a price rise of 3.75 per cent.
Ice-cube maker hot under the collar
After 20 years of making ice cubes for drinks, picnics and freshly caught fish, East Tamaki's Warren Goudie (picture) could do with some cooling down himself.
He has learned that Watercare Services plans to bring in a single wastewater tariff for all its 22,000 business customers in Auckland.
But he has an agreement with the council-owned company which recognises that although his business draws a lot from the fresh-water mains, it goes into the product rather than down the drain.
However, the proposal means not only an annual fixed charge for wastewater but also a volumetric charge based on how much fresh water flows through the meter.
Now the Coolit Ice plant's busy Christmas holiday rush is over, Mr Goudie plans to meet Watercare officials to find out how the proposal will affect business expenses.
"We can do 100 tonnes of ice a day in summer but there is no wasted water - it all is recycled to be put through the refrigeration plant. We have no nasties going down the drain - it's clean water."
The plant sends its ice to shops from Cambridge in the south to Kaitaia in the north.
In the summer season, it can use more than 40,000 litres a day and employ 30 people. Wayne Thompson

Just wanted to make a post to tell everyone how happy I am with Claudio from Customsprops.com
This is in regards to a Vader soft parts order I put in back in April and I finally got the package in the mail today.
Everything fits like a glove! Even the gloves...which i absolutely love.
I'm making all the hard parts by hand and my progress is pretty solid, finally having the suit is getting me really anxious.
The service and communication was great. Claudio contacted me immediately and got all my information and responded promptly to all my e-mails.
Now that might not seem like a big deal when you read it...but think... ;)
I know there are countless members on this board who have been victims of deals gone south where communication ceased or a product just wasn't as described and no good end was found. SO when a seller goes out of their way to let you know the progress of your order and actually sends you a tracking number (and isn't lying)
I'm not a vader expert yet, so maybe the suits might not be the best out there (not saying they aren't...i just don't know), but for what i expected I'm definitely satisfied.
I just thought that he and his site deserved some recognition. We have a lot of threads around here from people who are upset with other people and calling people out for bad deals....well...i'm calling someone out for a good deal, so maybe someone else can also benefit.

Don't turn this bad, now, Dan.
Most important lesson I have learned??? "It will only take a minute"... "I'll be real quick!"....and "My bees are always nice!!" are NOT good enough reasons to go into a hive without a veil! Hero... shmero...I'll take the ribbing for being a wimp far better than I react to stings! I hope you hear this lesson, before you have a hive decide it's time for you to leave, and the bees mean NOW!!!
Mistake #2 I made picking up a nuc from a new source. When I went to pick it up, the beekeeper was fully suited up with veil, gloves, and sleeves/pants cuffs duct taped shut. I work mine in shorts and white tshirt with tulle veil. They head butted me repeatedly while we were in his bee yard just standing there. I should have left those bees there. I've been stung by them more than all my other hives combined. The only reason I haven't requeened, is that they stick the honey back like its going out of style. They were also the only hive that the hive beetles wouldnt mess with last summer.
Throwing on a queen excluder without knowing why, or how it should be used.
Caused a REAL big swarm, REAL fast when I did this on our first hive during peak flow. "What? You mean the bees might not care to move through it?"
Allowing myself to be sweet talked into looking after somebody's bees while they went on their honeymoon.
She said when they got back she would bake me a cake.
The hives were an hour across town but it was only supposed to involve one visit, so I did it. But on a hunch, I went there day after they left as I thought from something that had been said that the bees might be brink of swarming. They were, bearding, & queen cells everywhere. So, raided their garage, found supers, unfortunately mediums, the others were deeps, made some major changes best I could to the hives configuration, & left. 3 hours plus mileage wasted.
2 weeks later the neighbour called, freaking out, there's a swarm in his tree. I drop what I'm doing (which cost me later), drive there, the swarm is at the very top of this incredibly tall tree, no way any sane person could get it. Check the hives, regardless of my efforts the previous visit, they were in full swarming mode & just went ahead & built more cells and swarmed anyway. Had to reconfigure my checkerboarding and other manipulations from the first visit & to prevent after swarms I go through & kill the majority of the cells, set up a swarm trap in the garden, and leave, best part of 4 hours wasted, peak traffic.
The couple get back from honeymoon & she rings me the same day. I explain what happened, I can tell in her voice she thinks I did a crap job. I tell her in a couple of weeks the hives will have laying queens, and she can put the still empty swarm trap away.
She made several more calls over the next few weeks her voice tone getting more annoyed every time. The queens never did mate & start laying, in the end I sent her free caged ones, but she was still not happy about what I "did" to her bees. No cake for me, and we haven't spoken since either.
Next time somebody asks me to do this, I'm going to be too busy.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Opened a healthy booming hive in the spring and it had 20 plus queen cells in it so I cut them all out......not knowing they had already swarmed.
...been there
I opened a hive with no smoke on a fairly chilly windy overcast kinda day, figured I'd get in and out and add a box, but that didn't work out too well, they poured out of there like a plague of locusts LOL Will always have the smoker on standby now LOL
...done that
not having the zipper on my veil/jacket all the way closed on a cold day when the bees were a little testy. Amazing how many angry bees can find a two inch opening.
...still have the scar
And... after moving some hives to a new yard, I found a small cluster, (must have missed the memo that the house was moved), on the side of a tree in the old location. I made the mistake of treating them like a swarm and tried to collect them in a swarm box. Meanest bunch of bees I've ever come across. Chased me through the woods for almost 10 minutes. Like someone once said...stupid hurts. Problem being, I wasn't a rookie when this happened.
Getting addicted to bees. Run away now. There is still hope for you...
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
An old fella at the bee club talked of beekeeping with grandpa back in the Model T truck days...The error was lack of maintenance on the truck. The truck broke down in the Virgin River gorge on the way from Las Vegas to Saint George, Utah. The truck went off the road, down the bank, scattering bee hives, and of course bees, all over the place. A week-long fiasco in 100 degree F weather.
Almost makes what Michael Bush said sound pretty reasonable.
I still think the worst is bringing your wife to the bee yard...well, I did bring a girlfriend...oopsie daisy! And, of course, Oldtimer has a good one, as usual.
My little brother learned a bad lesson: Don't leave your fly open when messing with the bees. Them suckers got him right on the jewels.
Ouchie! Down there is no fun for the sensitive spots.
My first time was going to the bee farm that turn out to be a walnut farm. Pick up my 2 bee hives without a suit or veil on at
4 in the morning. Got stung 6 times on my left arm not knowing what I was doing. Multiple entrances on the hive that I found out
later on. Found out later in the summer that I got the most aggressive hives from the farm that nobody would touch them.
Yep, I over paid for them too. That was a good learning experience for me.
Opening a hive after dark. I surmised from response, only conclusion was siege and they took appropriate action.
Fussing too much.
Thinking they will do what what I desire.
Listening to others more than my bees.
Not taking enough risks.
First year, installed two packages, fed them with top feeders. Both building up wonderfully.
They both stopped taking syrup about the same time, and I thought all was going great. You know how they say the bees will lay off of the 1:1 syrup when nectar is available?
It turns out that they stop taking syrup once it spoils, too I came out for a checkup, one hive was starved out, the other was still functioning but had no food stores. I was probably only a few days from losing the second hive . Both had syrup in the feeders, discolored and bad-smelling...
Having Only one hive tool.
Closing your hives up to stop the robbing when they are actually doing orientation flights
Setting a lit smoker on the floor board of my truck. Dashboards burn and melt. Bee jacket can be used to smother the dashboard fire out after you rip the glove box out to get to the flames.
Well, I shouldn't post on this thread so much, but the number of sting stories is so great, I guess I should pass this one along.
I washed my bee jacket too many times that it no longer stops them from stinging through, and commenced queen rearing operations last year without a sweatshirt under the jacket. I took somewhere between 450 and 700 stings - mostly on the arms - right through the jacket! Luckily I had "built up" a lot of tolerance with some very naughty colonies that always sting me somehow, despite suiting up pretty good every time. My previous record was about 75 stings one day and 35 the next. No big deal. But somewhere in the neighborhood of 550 stings, I got "amped up" pretty good for several hours. I did feel a little bit tense and had a stupid feeling about me. My friends said I needed to go to the hospital, I answered, "No! I want the benefit of the stings." Guess I was born for this stuff.
The naughty girls were Melliferas - feral German Black Bee stock and locally brewed in Mexico and California for many years. I do work along C.C. Miller's idea that mean bees who produce LOTS OF HONEY are a good enough goal, at least for that line of bees. I still have them and do love them very much. They are my best comb-honey producing bees. They are why I suit up with thick hunting boots, 2 pair of pants, sweatshirt, and a hat inside the bee jacket. They are also why I always light 2 smokers.
One mistake I don't want to see or hear about is starting a fire in your host's orchard with your smoker! ALWAYS have an extinguisher, a bucket of water, and a trowel to bury burning smoker fuel. ALWAYS have a metal bucket in which to keep you smoker.
Oldtimer, could have been worse, it could have been your honeymoon.
Now THAT"S a roflmao.
Glad it wasn't your's Oldtimer.
For me it was:
1) Not keeping a journal the first year.
2) Only having one jacket/suit. My wife and kids/grandkids weren't "in there" with me to help or take pictures or learn and appreciate it all.
3) Dropping a frame of bees on the ground; then stepping on the pile of bees while I was trying to help them back in the hive.
4) Assuming that those freshly-packaged Spring bees would be just as gentle and docile going into the Fall.
5) Medicated my bees with twice as much ApiGuard as suggested...right in the middle of a robbing frenzy...utter chaos!

New ED Offices to Support Parent Involvement
'The Freedom to Choose'

Tips for Parents!

New ED Offices to Support Parent Involvement
U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige last month announced the formation of a new office at the U.S. Department of Education that will support the crucial role of parents in improving their children's schools.
The Office of Innovation and Improvement is intended to be an entrepreneurial arm of the department, making strategic investments in promising practices and widely disseminating their results. It will also lead the movement for greater parental options and information in education, and will free other offices to focus on their core missions.
The Office of Innovation and Improvement will consolidate programs related to parental options and education, including those for charter schools, magnet schools, public school choice, non-public education and family educational rights.
It will also coordinate with the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to implement the public school choice and supplemental services provisions of the new No Child Left Behind Act.
Paige also announced the formation of the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools, which will include, among other initiatives, activities related to building strong character and citizenship, and will take the leadership role in the Education Department's homeland security efforts.
For more information, visit www.ed.gov/PressReleases/09-2002/09172002.html or call 1-800-USA-LEARN.
'The Freedom to Choose'
In his annual "Back-to-School" address delivered in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 9, Secretary Paige explained the improvements in education that are underway thanks to the No Child Left Behind Act, including changes affecting special education, reading instruction, teacher quality and school safety. Paige also addressed the need for increasing parents' options in the remarks excerpted below.
"... Even while building an international coalition to fight terror, the President was building a bipartisan congressional coalition to improve our schools.
The result was the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001a remarkable consensus by both parties in both houses of Congress that now is the time for fundamental changenow is the time to break with the past and educate all of our childrenno matter the color of their skin or the accent of their speech.
The No Child Left Behind Act gave us the framework to reform American education. The framework was built upon the great principles of accountability and results; local control and flexibility; increased choices for parents; quality teachers in every classroom; and teaching methods based upon solid research.
And President Bush made sure we got enough resources to get the job done. He provided historic levels of funding. We have the largest education budget for disadvantaged children in U.S. history. And we have nearly $1 billion in funding this year for the President's Reading First initiatives. These are remarkable levels of funding to ensure that every child in America's schools learns the one skill on which all others depend: Reading.
|"By having a standardized test ... those parents who truly want to move their students to a better school, or want to examine the abilities of the school where their children attend, now have a tool to do so. It makes life easier for them and it has something they can take to the administration to use as a reason to move their students."
Prince George's County, Md., parent Joseph Prudan, a guest panelist on the Sept. 17 broadcast of the Department of Education's new television program, Education News Parents Can Use.
Our new education reforms make the best use of every tax dollar spent on education by funding programs that follow good research, and by insisting on accountability and results. In that way, taxpayers know what they're getting for their money, and parents know if their children are learning. ...
The new education reforms expand parents' opportunities for choice. If children are not learning, and schools do not improve, then moms and dads have new options.
They can choose one-on-one tutoring, or after-school help, or they can enroll their children in better public schools.
Many local parents in Cleveland chose vouchers. And the U.S. Supreme Court gave themand families nationwidea great victory by upholding their right to make that choice.
It bears emphasizing, that what we're offering parents is choicean option, not an obligation. What they do with it is up to them and them alone. Parents of children in low-performing schools, for example, may choose to transfer. Or they may choose to stay put, and work to make the school better.
It's their decision. What's important is that they have the freedom to choose. ..."

Close-Up On: No Child Left BehindReading First
Far too many young people are struggling through school without having mastered the most basic skills in reading. On the 2000 National Assessment for Educational Progress, more than 85 percent of all fourth-graders in high-poverty schools scored below the "proficient" reading level.
As part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, President Bush launched a new comprehensive effort called Reading First, a five-year, $5 billion state grant program. Reading First will provide assistance to state and local education agencies to apply scientifically based reading researchand the proven instructional and assessment tools consistent with this researchto improve reading instruction for K-3 students and to ensure that all children learn to read well by the end of third grade.
Source: House Education & the Workforce Committee
Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New Mexico and Utah have all received Reading First grants. State education agencies from all 50 U.S. states and territories are eligible to submit applications to receive a Reading First grant. Applications will undergo a thorough review by an expert panel, which have training, expertise and experience in the following areas:
- Training teachers how to teach reading using methods based on scientific research;
- Developing research-based curricula for effective reading instruction;
- Developing research assessments;
- Teaching reading in the early grades; and
- Promoting research based reading programs to policymakers on the local, state and national levels.
Tips for Parents!
Take advantage of parent-teacher conferences during the school year. Think of some questions and concerns you may have and write them down before your meeting. Keep track of your child's schoolwork to help you with your questions. You may ask:
- Is my child performing at grade level?
- What are my child's strengths and weaknesses in major subjectsreading, math, history and science?
- How much time should my child spend on homework?
- Are my child's assignments completed accurately and on time?
- Does my child have special learning needs? Are there special classes my child should be in?
- Do you keep a folder of my child's work? If yes, could you review it with me?

2004 Weapon Background
GTA: Vice City - Modifications | @ 01:34 PM MDT | By rappo
Here's a handy dandy little "tool" that modders might like. Basically, it's a weapon background (like the ones that the original weapons have) for modifications. I've noticed that some weapon mods out there don't have the backgrounds, and I think it looks better if they do. So, I decided to release this simple, but helpful, background. It's in a .tga (targa) format. Oh, and it's transparent too.

Haagen Klaus sees dead people. Lots and lots of dead people.
The bioarchaeologist — and assistant professor in both anthropology and biology at Utah Valley University — studies the excavated bodies of ancient Andeans in the Lambayeque Valley, Peru. Through the bones, teeth and other bits of evidence found at the South American site, Klaus has been able to uncover a wide range of data that shows how these people lived and died. Many were killed in ritual sacrifice a thousand years ago. Read more.

IPad helps track down thieves
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The victim of a car break-in in Colorado Springs used an iPad application to track down the suspecedt thieves, according to Colorado Springs police.
The victims had left the iPad in their car when someone broke into it and took it along with several other items.
