I was just wondering what people like to use out there as a top cover / hive lid
Telesopic cover or the Migratory type.??
I've used all kinds of things from formica covered sink cut out (out of the dumpster at a building site) to the ventilated tops from www.beeworks.com. I often build my own covers of various kinds. Here's what I think of each:
Typical Migratory cover:
These are usually not a very tight fit on the top and are prone to blow off until the bees stick them down. If you haven't worked them lately they stay on, but if you worked them and shortly after a wind storm comes in they will blow off. Of course the solution is bricks or concrete blocks or rocks, but these are heavy to lift off. They are cheap. They are not ventilated. On a large hive in the heat of summer they get too hot inside. In the winter there is too much condensation because of the lack of ventilation. I like them pretty well on a hive that is only one or two boxes high and just getting started. They are handy for a swarm because you don't have to mess with the inner cover, but they can slide off. Depending on the shipping to you, Western Bee seems to have the best prices on these.
Telescopic cover with inner cover:
I don't like the inner covers with the top entrances. I don't like them, mostly because I can't reliably open and close them. If you push the telescopic back it will block it, but this is too easy to forget. I have lost a lot of bees to drowning when I put the inner cover on top of a hive top feeder thinking, that it was as good a place to leave it as any, and then had thousands of bees go in the top and drown in the feeder, not to mention the robbing that followed. It's nice to be able to open a top entrance if and when you want one, but I don't like one that is just there. A few inner covers are still available without the notch. I also don't like inner covers with masonite. They warp when they get wet. So a plywood inner cover without a notch and a telescopic on top, I like ok. It's still not enough ventilation and the telescopics, for reasons known only to the manufacturers, are always way too big and blow off too easily. Also, since they are on top of the inner cover the bees don't glue them down. A plus for opening the hive. A minus in a wind storm. Again a concrete block will stop this, but who wants to lift a concrete block seven feet in the air on a booming hive? I'm not certain but I only seem to be able to find the plywood inner covers without the top entrances at Walter T. Kelly.
Simple board:
Variations of this are the sink cut out scrap plywood, 3/4" plywood, a flat cover made of cedar shingles and a piece of roll roofing. Still no ventilation and Still blow off easily. If you can pick up the scraps at a job site, the price is wonderful.
Modified Migratory cover:
My version of a migratory cover, is cut from 3/4" exterior plywood that is 21 3/8" long and 16 1/4" wide. I take two 16 1/4" 1x2's and screw them under the lip of the plywood at both ends snug with the box. This means you have to push down hard to get the lid to go on, but it also means it does not slide around or blow off. It is still not ventilated. I like these for capturing swarms and starting hives, but not much for a booming productive hive.
Ventilated top:
I take an inner cover and cut a couple of more holes in it. I have a hole saw drill bit the same size as a regular mason jar lid (or a boardman feeder) and if often put two holes this size in the inner cover and then cover all the holes with #7 or #8 hardware cloth on the bottom side. This provides ventilation and if I want to use a jar for a feeder or waterer I can put them in the holes. On top of this I put a "vent box". This is either an old super (shallow or medium) with holes in the sides covered with hardware cloth, or just a box made from 1 x 6 or 1 x 8 with the same kind of holes. On top of this you can nail on a plywood lid or you can use old covers, migratory or telescopic. Now the hot moist air goes up through the screened holes in the inner cover and out the holes in the side of the vent box. This requires a block or bricks to keep it on, because it will blow off in a wind. If you want a Cadillac of this, you can buy a kit from www.beeworks. It has two vent boxes that allow you to adjust the ventilation between winter and summer and has an inner cover with a closable top entrance. I have quite a few of the kits and like them alot.
Tight telescopic cover:
If you make your own telescopic cover with 3/4" exterior plywood and make it snug around the edges, it will not blow off as easily. The 3/4" ply is heavy and the tight fit keeps it from blowing off. These are also nice for hiving swarms becuase they won't slide around and they don't easily blow off.
I don't think I've found the perfect cover yet. I have been tempted to build one that has the inner cover, vent box and cover all together in one peice, but then you couldn't feed with it. But it also would get glued down good and not blow off so eaisily.
The perfect cover would be light, but still won't blow off, provide ventilation, provide a place to feed, be easy to take on and off and be cheap to buy. I haven't seen it yet.
I have never used anything but migratory covers.But there are all kinds of things wrong with them.They warp and twist.They allow wind driven rain in.They are too hot in summer(I pull the top super back about 3/4 inch in hot weather to help the bees ventilate).The plus side is they are cheap to make.They allow tight stacking of hives for moving which means you must use them if you do much moving.You can bore a hole in the top and feed right through the cover.And if they warp in the right way they improve ventilation!
When mine warp it just makes a large top entrance (and ventilation).
versotile beehive cover - they ship the cover all; over the globe. Hope others find it useful, it's been featured in several British beekeeping magazines.
I built an innercover, vent box combo for just the reasons Michael pointed out. It is unfortunately not cehap though and needs a bit of redesign yet. I made 12 or 14 of them at the time, but had a bit of feature creap on them and you still need a lid for them.
The link shows one before it was wax dipped and had the holes drilled in the inner cover portion.
I made the inner cover reversible so that I could place pollen patties under it more easily. The bees (as I feared) just propolized it down in place.
could have been an inch or two taller for different sized jars
I left too much bee space under the inner cover, occasionally I had burr comb issues.
Still need a lid, and they take a while to build
Vented well, cut down bearding etc.
adjustable entrance was nice, and with triangle wedges they didn't get stuck down too bad, though it was a little annoying that they didn't come off with the cover most of the time
easy to feed in
If I make more I probably won't make them reversible, since they aren't anyway after long use.
Better bee space
We'll see what happens, I'm too busy building a horizontal hive with a hinged top to mess with my vented covers right now. Currently I wouldn't reccomend them without modification.
I use the crappiest 1/2" flat plywood exactly the size of the box. It leaks, it has gaps, the bees love it. The worse it gets, the better the bees seem to do.
I have both. Like them for their own specific need.
If ventillation is an issue use an inner cover then a migratory cover. Same principle as a telescopic cover with an inner cover right?
I use a screened inner cover. It provides ventilation and when there is a feeder on the hive, I pour the sugar water right through the screen. It does a rough filtering job as well as keeping the bees from going into the feeder.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
I use the Honey Run Apiaries "All Season Inner Cover," plus a standard telescoping outer cover.
The HR All Season Inner Cover provides good ventilation in the Summer and good insulation in the Winter. Plus, it has an upper entrance, which gives good moisture control in the Winter and another point of access for the bees in the Summer when the population is big.
My only complaint is that the quality of construction is not all that great.
(6th year, 15 hives, Zone 5b, 5500')
In 20 years using flat plywood migratory tops, I haven't had a single one blow off unless the hive itself turned over. I don't weight mine down at all. I prop the corner for ventilation. We have a number of 60+ mph thunderstorms in any spring/summer. In winter we get 50+ mph blue northers. I don't think blowing off is an issue for flat tops. Tops with edging become airfoils. Airfoils create lift.
That's been my experience as well. Since I've gone to covers the size of the box with nothing hanging over the edges I don't have trouble with them blowing off. I usually keep a brick on them, but if I forget they usually stay on anyway. I was putting concrete blocks on the telescopic covers to keep them on...
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Most of my covers are migratories some 3/4 plywood, some 3/4 cypress or pine board with a hole cut in the top for a mason jar feeder. But I never pass up one of those cheap corrugated plastic political signs, I don't like them for covers in cold weather due to condensation but during split and swarm season they make great covers and bottoms when you're running short on equipment. I have a couple hives with old stop or yield signs on top too. Waste not want not.
This is a timely thread! I have a new queen coming today and I had to scramble to get a makeshift hive together because I'm out of tops and bottoms at the moment. (I have a laying worker hive I can get them from but haven't shaken it yet.) I got 2 cut pieces of plywood from Home Depot to use as a top and a bottom and I'm using an Imirie shim at top and bottom for ventilation while the colony is just getting started. The plywood is cut larger than the box, I'll be sure to put bricks on top.
I use a ventilated top on all my hives like Michael Bush references and it works great. It acts as a feeder, ventilator and observation deck just in case I want to take a quick glance at the ladies without disturbing them.
Started beekeeping in 2013 and having a blast with my 12 small cell hives!!
DOH. I hate when queens are supposed to arrive via USPS and then they don't. So now I have till tomorrow to set up the plywood cover on this new hive.
Not to beat a dead horse but would a top built more like a homes roof work more betterer? Ie; soffit and ridge vents or gable end vent or both. All the extra room still available for feeders and what not and would be heavy enough to deal with wind and it would take you a long time and a bunch of money to builds lol just thinking out loud
I'm new so I may not know any better, but I'm surprised nobody mentioned the plastic cover. I got my hive as a kit from Kelly and it came with a white plastic cover. This is a dense plastic that is pretty heavy (no winds were able to blow it off this year yet) and it also has a few notches underneath for some ventilation (the inner cover I got didn't have a notch). I heard it had an insulation value, but I don't know for sure. Working fine so far and even had an advantage when I noticed that the inner cover over the top feeder would trap a lot of condensation (causing mold to start on the wood) - I just left off the inner cover and the condensation just rolled off the plastic cover (no more mold). Am i missing something bad about these?

Home>Exhibitions>Selected Past Exhibitions>2007>Treasures from the North: Irish Paintings from the Ulster Museum
The opportunity for this exceptional exhibition came about as a result of the Ulster Museum's closure for major refurbishment work, presenting a rare opportunity for the National Gallery to display their masterpieces of Irish art.
Treasures from the North presented a selection of 60 paintings from the Ulster Museum, which focused upon the best of their Irish collection. From pure dramatic landscape to the vibrancy of urban life; from society portraits to the impact of modernism, these paintings touched on endearing themes, some of them universal and some more particular to Ireland.
Raymond Keaveney, Director of the National Gallery of Ireland said: "The National Gallery and the Ulster Museum have always had a close and fruitful relationship. This particular initiative represented a special co-operative venture between two distinguished institutions who share a common goal of promoting Irish Heritage."
The project was the result of the collaborative efforts of colleagues in both institutions. The paintings were selected by Dr. Eileen Black and Anne Stewart, Curators of Fine Art in the Ulster Museum.
The exhibition included paintings by major figures of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, most notably George Barret, Nathaniel Hone and William Ashford. Distinguished twentieth-century artists included Sir John Lavery, Paul Henry, Jack B. Yeats, Louis le Brocquy, William Scott, and Gerard Dillon. Among the highlights were Lavery's Under the Cherry Tree (1884), a magnificent early work showing the influence (upon the artist) of French 'plein-air' painting and the Barbizon school; Paul Henry's Dawn, Killary Harbour (c.1921), and a hauntingly evocative riverside scene in Sligo, The Riverside (1922), by Jack Yeats, dating from his middle period. Also featured were works by more modern artists: William Conor, John Luke, Charles Lamb, Frank McKelvey, Basil Blackshaw, Dermod O'Brien and TP Flanagan.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Born in Münster, Maximilian Lenz began DJing in 1983 and became known as Westbam as a shortened version of his original nickname, which he received in honor of his place of birth (Westphalia) and his biggest musical influence (Afrika Bambaataa). He moved to Berlin in 1984, sticking to early industrial dance and hip-hop until American house music began crossing the Atlantic midway through the '80s. He had begun producing as well in 1985, and like many German dance figures, gradually moved from Chicago house to embrace the harder, more Teutonic sounds of Detroit techno during the late '80s. After founding his own Low Spirit Recordings in 1988, Westbam hit the German charts with his first single on the label, "Monkey Say Monkey Do."
He made a surprise appearance at the 1988 Olympic Games in South Korea (representing his country as a cultural contribution) and charted during 1989 as well with the hits "And Party" and "The Roof Is on Fire." Also in 1989, Westbam released his debut album The Roof Is on Fire. To celebrate his surprising success, Westbam decided to organize an outdoor event which could, he hoped, bring the new dance music out of nightclubs and into the mainstream. Called the Love Parade, it debuted that year with under 500 people. Less than a decade later, the Love Parade would count more than 250,000 participants.
Low Spirit Records had several hits during the early '90s, by acts Mark Oh and Marusha. Westbam released his second album, A Practising Maniac at Work, in 1991, and founded the Mayday Festival later that year. By the mid-'90s, long after most rave cash-ins had spun themselves out, Westbam was going back into straight-ahead techno and trance, with singles like 1994's "Celebration Generation" and "Bam Bam Bam" (the title track from his fourth album, which hit the German Top 20). For the tenth anniversary of Low Spirit Recordings, he released The Age of the DJ Mixer: 10 Years of Low Spirit, a compilation including several Westbam productions. Two 1997 singles, "Sonic Empire" and "Sunshine" hit the German singles charts (both were official anthems, for Mayday and Love Parade respectively) and prompted a new Westbam album, We'll Never Stop Living This Way, which entered the Top 40 of the German charts. ~ John Bush

I was just thinking that a sideliner header would be good. My current question is about taxes, I am considering whether or not it is worth calling my bee income a business (thus requiring a schedule C form) or just hobby income. It looks advantageous to call it a business, since I could deduct a bunch of stuff as business expenses, but I really don't make enough money from the bees to live off of. I'm not quitting my day job. And then I thought, 'wait, is beekeeping farming?' If so, farming is treated differently in the tax world, and I don't know if beekeeping qualifies or if it would be advantageous.
Bottom line, please make a sideliner section, and any tax related info would be greatly appreciated.


text: My turn: 1. Ashley Wagner will repeat as U.S. National Champion, followed by Gracie Gold and Agnes Zawadzki, in that order. Ashley will edge out Mao Asada for the bronze medal in Sochi with the skate of her life. 2. Jeremy Abbott will put the naysayers to rest, winning his U.S. National title back and placing in the top ten at the Olympics 3. Akiko Suzuki will be hot and cold all season, but will medal at the World Championships, which will be her last. 4. Davis/White or Virtue/Moir will win Olympic gold in ice dance. The bronze will go to Pechalat and Bourzat. 5. Evan Lysacek will not compete at U.S. Nationals or in the Olympics or World Championships. 6. The pairs event will be won by Volosozhar and Trankov, followed by Duhamel and Radford and Savchenko and Szolkowy. There will be a media outcry of the judging being very similar to the SLC 2002 scandal, and it will become a hot news story where the media will question if the new system even helps. 7. Alena Leonova will compete in Sochi. 8. Kaetlyn Osmond will again win the Canadian title, but will face a stiffer competition from Amelie Lacoste, and Cynthia Phaneuf who will return to competition in time for Nationals and skate well. 9. Brian Joubert will skate to a movie soundtrack. 10. No matter how Plushenko skates in Sochi, he will complain about the result. 11. No matter how Chan skates in Sochi, he will win. He'll get a new season's best. 12. Somewhere in Russia, Maria Butyrskaya will be giving a death stare. 13. Alissa Czisny will return to competition, and finish in the top 10 at U.S. Nationals, but will not make the Olympic or World team. 14. Nella Zhiganshina and Alexander Gaszi will come up with a new free dance that will even top their zombie free dance, and start to really make a name for themselves as rebels, much like Rahkamo and Kokko, The Duchesnay's or Drobiazko and Vanagas. 15. Jenna McCorkell will skate well at the Olympics, and that will be her last competition. 16. At least two teams will skate to "Carmen" as their free dances and I will roll my eyes. 17. Christina Gao will finish 5th at Nationals. 18. The team event at the Olympics will be the first and last. 19. You will see professional competitions and shows make a comeback in North America, as many of today's top skaters will decide to leave ISU competition for a variety of reasons. 20. At least 5 of my predictions will be dead wrong.

I was fortunate to have the rare chance to pose some tough question's to Ubisoft about Assassin's Creed Revelations. I spoke to the Art, Game Design, Transmedia Production and Scriptwriting teams. They shared their thoughts on the background history, the narrative design, the community collaboration and more on this legendary franchise upcoming November 15th.
GeekDad: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed Revelations have such a rich historical and architectural context. What kind of research do you do to maintain an "authentic period" game environment?
Raphael Lacoste, Art Director: We've always tried to reproduce the feeling of the cities we bring to life in the Assassin's Creed games as faithfully as possible. Obviously, this can be quite challenging when the task is to realistically recreate environments from the 12 century (Assassin's Creed 1), Renaissance Italy (Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood) and finally 16th century Turkey.
To do so, we have neither photos nor contemporary references to start with when we enter the conception of a project. To achieve our goals, we engage in long and intense periods of research using historical documents, maps from the era, illustrations, paintings, travelogues, etc. We've also had the good fortune of being able to travel to these locations and get a real sense of the sights, sounds and smells of these amazing cities.
Naturally, it's impossible to create an exact replica of these locations, but we have always managed to construct immersive environments that allow the player the total freedom to explore historically accurate and immense settings.

139th NRA ANNUAL MEETINGS & EXH
This years venue.
Charlotte Convention Center :: Home
If any of you have been to one of the annual conventions, you know how cool they are. It's like the biggest gunshow you've ever seen. They move it every year. Some of us got together a few years ago when it was in Pittsburgh. They had 4 acres of booths set up by every manufacturer and supplier in the firearms industry.
We had an awesome time.
As far as gunco staff goes, I'll be there along with Winn R, Salbo and I believe Pirate56.
Who else is up for a road trip?

Ten AC45's, costing approximately NZD1,000,000 each have been commissioned, and these will be launched progressively in Auckland where they will be sailed by the teams until April when a series of trials begins to test race management and media ahead of the ACWS and 34th America's Cups.
Around the 20th May the AC45's will be packed into 40ft containers and shipped to the first ACWS venue.
The teams with AC45's in Auckland are Artemis Racing, Oracle Racing, Emirates Team New Zealand. Oracle Racing are expected to borrow a fourth AC 45 from the Challenger of Record, Mascalzone Latino. Additionally there is a fifth AC45, the prototype yacht which has become a familiar sight on the Waitemata Harbour over the past month.
Emirate Team New Zealand's AC45 was the first to be craned into the Viaduct harbour this morning. She lacks any significant hull signage from sponsors, and is understood to be not fully funded.
She was moved out onto a mooring in the Viaduct harbour while final fit-out was underway. The other AC45s were launched into a single marina that is available and went sailing.
Her wingsail is taken up with a stylised silver fern emblem, and the words 'New Zealand' on its leading edge. When questioned as to whether New Zealand Trade and Industry had provided backing, Sail-World was told that the New Zealand logos and words were all about 'being patriotic'.
The bow of each hull also features a very patriotic New Zealand flag splashed over it.
The statement released by Emirates Team New Zealand this afternoon reads:
Emirates Airline has announced its continued support of Emirates Team New Zealand, as the team took further steps forward towards mounting its challenge for the 34th Americas Cup in San Francisco, with the launch of an AC 45 catamaran.
The launch took place at the teams Viaduct Harbour base at Auckland.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline & Group, said the airline was continuing its support of Emirates Team New Zealand due to the fact that the yachting team had consistently proven itself both as a top competitor and a brand-builder.
The decision also underlines our commitment to New Zealand at a time when the country is demonstrating its own strengths and resilience in the face of adversity, Sheikh Ahmed said.
Whether it be the Americas Cup, the MedCup or the Louis Vuitton Trophy series, Emirates Team New Zealand has shown the fighting spirit and inspiration for which the country is renowned. We are very pleased to continue our support of Emirates Team New Zealand, continued Sheikh Ahmed.
Emirates Team New Zealand Managing Director Grant Dalton, who has devoted the past six months to securing funding for the challenge, said the response had been encouraging.
We have made considerable progress because the Emirates Team New Zealand brand is an international leader, well recognised in the sport. Emirates Airline has been with the team since 2004 and their decision to stay with us is important. We are fortunate to have such loyal and committed sponsors, said Dalton.
Dalton paid tribute to the many sponsors and suppliers including Emirates, Toyota New Zealand, a sponsor for 20 years, and Omega, a sponsor for 18 years - who have stood by the team in the hard times since the end of the 32nd Americas Cup at Valencia in 2007.
Dalton said the team had paid an initial fee to Americas Cup Race Management to secure access to a supplied one-design AC45. The yacht and wing sail were delivered to the Emirates Team New Zealand base over the past week for assembly by sailing and shore crews.
The one-design AC45 catamaran will be raced in Americas Cup pre-regattas this year and next. They are an interim step until teams have built and are ready to campaign the AC72 catamaran which has been chosen by Americas Cup Race Management to contest the 2013 regatta, said Emirates Team New Zealand chief operations officer Kevin Shoebridge.
Dalton said the team would make a further announcement on its involvement in the 2013 Americas Cup in a couple of months. In the meantime we are developing the sailing team; the design team is working through concepts for the AC72 catamaran and we are continuing meeting with several potential sponsors.
Sheikh Ahmed said: Exposure for Emirates through the team and its global reach has helped put the airline on the map in many parts of the world and with many audiences. We hope there is now the chance of building further on this excellent foundation,
The features we saw in the team when we first backed it in 2004 are still there. As an award-winning airline (recently judged Airline of the Year 2011*), we can relate to its drive, focus, competitiveness and desire for excellence in all aspects of its operation.
In recent times, Emirates itself has increased its New Zealand commitment with its services, introducing the exceptional Emirates A380 superjumbo to the market and enhancing its three other daily services with the latest Boeing 777-300ER, commented Sheikh Ahmed.

Manitou pot moratorium lifted, but no sales
MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. - The moratorium on recreational marijuana sales was officially lifted Tuesday, but the city says that no one has yet to apply for a recreational sales permit.
Manitou Springs City Administrator Jack Benson told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that there are two permits available and two businesses eligible to get one.
"The only ones who can move forward with an application right now are the ones who have active medical marijuana licenses," Benson said. "Everybody else has to wait until July."
There are two businesses in Manitou Springs with medical marijuana licenses. The first, Absolute Manitou Wellness, has an expired medical and business license, according to Benson. The owner will have to go through the process to renew those licenses before applying for a recreational sales permit. A call to the dispensary's owner was not immediately returned.
The other is an up-and-coming store in Manitou Springs. Bill Conkling owns the business Maggie's Farm and recently purchased property on Manitou Avenue near U.S. 24. Conkling runs two medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado Springs and one in Canon City. He's received his medical license for the store in Manitou and is now going through the process for a Manitou Springs business permit.
"For Maggie's Farm it's a matter of doing it right the first time and really showing the community and elected officials of Manitou Springs that we're going to have a good storefront and we're going to do it right," Conkling told KRDO NewsChannel 13.
Conkling said he wants to establish his business medically before applying for a recreational license. His goal is to open shop by April 20.
Despite the lack of sales, Benson said he hasn't heard any complaints from residents.
"I'm hearing more from the people who would prefer not to see retail marijuana in the city," Benson said.
Benson said he's received some phone calls about potential interested store owners, but nothing concrete.
"I've had a number of people call and inquire but it's always very vague and general," Benson said. "Most of them want to try to do the medical marijuana piece because it's a foot in the door."
Benson said that Absolute Manitou Wellness has never been a big source of tax income for the city. Though the city sees potential for tax revenue once retail sales begin, he said the city has not planned for any of that income in the 2014 budget.

Desert Sands Unified School District

|Collection of small cities/towns

|English Learners
|Special Needs
The Desert Sands district, on the outskirts of the resort city of Palm Springs, Calif., has been growing at a rate of 4 percent of year for the last 10 years. The district currently has 10 new schools on the drawing boards. In considering whether to make these neighborhood schools or magnet schools, the school board listened to stakeholders and evaluated its recent experience developing school choice options.
Of the district's 27 current schools, eight are magnets and one is a district charter school on long standing. The magnet schools were developed to address disparities in student achievement between schools located in the district's mostly Hispanic and low-income town of Indio and schools located in the district's five other, mostly white and more affluent towns. Desert Sands draws its students from migrant camps as well as from middle-class towns and wealthy enclaves surrounded by private country clubs.
In 2000, the district decided to create a K-12 International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) program for its first set of magnet schools (an elementary, a middle, and a high school). It located the schools in the geographic and socioeconomic center of the district and marketed them to high-achieving students in Indio. The result has been that these magnet schools are the district's most economically and culturally diverse, as well as its highest achieving.
The decision to draw the highest-achieving students out of the Indio schools did not go unnoticed there. Principals felt vulnerable that they would be losing their best students. The district is now creating a second set of K-12 magnet schools, this time in Indio. When surveys of parents and the community indicated a growing need for medical and legal professionals, the district decided to feature pre-medical and pre-law curricula at the new schools. The district hopes this focus will attract affluent students as well as boost opportunities for Indio residents.
In 2001, the district secured a Voluntary Public School Choice program grant to create five magnet schools with an environmental science, mathematics, and technology focus. This program has been very popular at the district's charter school, and the community is fortunate to have the participation of scientists from the nearby Living Desert park and the Joshua Tree National Monument in designing the magnet schools' curricula. These high-achieving schools are located in the district's affluent Palm Desert community. The district markets them in Indio, again to provide school choice options to students whose current schools are low-achieving.
Principals at the receiving schools were initially concerned that the low-income transferring students, including students making NCLB transfers, would bring down the schools' test scores. But this has not happened. In fact, scores at the schools have increased. At each of the magnet schools a site coordinator meets new parents as soon as their children enroll and regularly thereafter. The coordinator follows each child's progress, and if a student needs a tutor, the coordinator provides one. The role of the site coordinators, and their individual efforts to see each student as an opportunity, has been crucial to turning attitudes around at the receiving schools. As the assistant superintendent explains, "We do not want students to go bach to their old schools because they do not feel connected or because the parents do not know anyone."
The district credits communication among the magnet schools as another critical factor in their success. Site coordinators meet monthly with the magnet grant administrator to share experiences and seek input for ongoing problems. During each meeting, the group reviews the goals of the magnet project to be sure they are being met and identifies additional resources that may be needed.
Desert Sands is proud of its choice program and markets it heavily, especially to English learners and low-income students. A marketing team creates radio spots, movie theater ads, and television commercials in Spanish and English and goes to malls in indio during the enrollment period to meet prospective students. The district makes a big effort to enroll kindergarten students in its choice program and created a refrigerator magnet for Head Start parents that has a "to do" list that includes "learn more about voluntary school choice," "review the magnet school program," and "enroll my child in public kindergarten."
The district is intent on continuing to develop its choice program, as well as its neighborhood schools. The district feels optimistic that it has accomplished the hard work of winning employees and stakeholders over to the benefits of choice, and it plans to create magnet programs at each of its new schools. These will accept neighborhood students first, reserve seats for 1 percent of the students in the other attendance areas, and fill any remaining seats by lottery. In Desert Sands, the goal is to create a range of schools that parents will want their children to attend.

Bristol's 'Speedway In Lights' in full swing
BRISTOL, Tenn. - A holiday tradition is in full swing. The Bristol Motor Speedway's 'Speedway in Lights' is almost to the halfway mark and so far there has been a steady flow of traffic.
Ben Trout with Bristol Motor Speedway tells us they've had a lot of people already come to see the lights, as well as the ice skating rink and Chill Hill.
Trout tells us many families have made this a yearly tradition.
He wants to remind everyone the money they pay to see the lights goes to help the Speedway Children's Charities, which gives back to children in the Tri-Cities. "At the same time know and realize that you know what you paid to come through for the lights is going to go a long way in helping our area's charitable agencies," says Trout.
Speedway in Lights will be open until January 4 from 6 until 10 p.m. nightly.

Come visit! This sculpture and 26 others are touring the U.S. now through 2014. Over 25 larger-than-life sculptures created with nearly half a million LEGO pieces! Read more and come visit!
The life-sized Bison is nearly 7 feet long and contains 45,143 LEGO pieces. It was built together with Baby Bison ... and of course a cowbird milling about on its back. :)
My assistant Geoffrey (below, left) took the design lead on this sculpture and I built it together with a team of 6 model builders over the course of 6 weeks.
Building it
The entire sculpture took 700 hours to build, together with a team of 6 model builders over the course of 6 weeks.
The legs were surprisingly complicated to build. When we designed the sculpture, the idea of "sort of randomly adding fuzzy texture" seemed like a good idea, but when it came time to build it we were going cross-eyed, It doesn't' help that black doesn't visually read very well, which made it doubly hard to see what the heck we were doing.
Because this sculpture is installed outdoors, it needs to withstand the elements and overly curious visitors. We designed a steel skeleton to reinforce the structure which can additionally be bolted to the ground.
Working around steel can be really tricky, especially when you need to line up four legs and ensure that they're all straight and "on the LEGO grid"? otherwise they won't properly connect up at his belly. Gluing as we go, we don't have the luxury to take things apart and tweak them, so we have to do a lot of drawing, planning, measuring and making-sure-we-get-it-right-the-first-time-ing.
The entire sculpture was assembled in my New York City art studio, then custom-crated in museum-quality exhibition crates for my new show, Nature Connects, which is currently touring the United States.

Plans for GullView Lodge receive county approval
Plans for GullView Lodge announced earlier this year received development approvals from the Cass County Planning Commission on Monday, March 11.
Approvals for the redevelopment of the 27-acre resort property on Gull Lake, currently the site of Quarterdeck Resort, include a new, full-service lakefront lodge, a new lakefront restaurant and docking system.
The new, three-story, 68-suite lodge's architecture will mirror the northwoods style and will include an indoor/outdoor four-season pool on the lower level, a guest reception lobby on the main level and a conference/banquet facility on the third level, all offering views of the lake.
The lower level will also include a fitness center and game room that will overlook the pool with an outdoor children's playground.
GullView Lodge will present a unique ownership opportunity and a hassle-free approach to ownership. If desired, all owners at GullView Lodge will be able to occupy their suites approximately six months of the year while also participating in the professional management, rental and maintenance program that will be available to all suite owners.
Four distinct suite types will be offered, ranging in size from 355 square feet to 1,354 square feet. All suites will feature designer appointments and be fully furnished to include linens and housewares.
Pre-construction pricing begins at $149,900 including the use of all resort amenities, which include a boat slip, indoor/outdoor pool, a fitness center, game room, children's playground and boat ramp.
The new lodge plans also feature a new lakeside restaurant that will offer indoor and outdoor dining with views of Gull Lake. A new dock system will allow restaurant patrons, as well as lodge owners and guests. to come by boat. A limited number of boatlifts with canopies will be available.
SunStream Hotels and Resorts, headquartered in Fort Myers Beach, Fla., will oversee the development and management of GullView Lodge.
"It is anticipated that the new lodge will provide 18 employment opportunities to include a full-time concierge to assist lodge owners and guests with on-site services or to arrange for that perfect golf game, favorite dining spot, or suggestions for area attractions," said David Lawrence, SunStream president.
Until the commencement of construction of the new lodge facility, the current resort lodge and cabins will continue rental operations and boat rentals throughout 2013. In addition to lodge and cabin rentals, the current patio restaurant will be open for lakeside drinks and dining this summer.

Supreme Court justice cites Wayne Law Review article in majority opinion
January 14, 2013
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas cited a 2004 Wayne Law Review article when he delivered the opinion of the Court in Ryan v. Valencia Gonzales on Jan. 8.
The article, "Not to Decide Is to Decide: The U.S. Supreme Court's Thirty-Year Struggle with One Case About Competency to Waive Death Penalty Appeals" (49 Wayne Law Review 885)was written by Cleveland-Marshall College of Law Professor Phyllis Crocker, a recognized authority on the death penalty and a former interim dean at Cleveland-Marshall.
Ryan v. Valencia Gonzales originated in 1999 in Arizona, where Ernest Valencia Gonzales was convicted on a number of charges, including felony murder, and sentenced to death.
After exhausting state remedies, Gonzales filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in Federal District Court. His counsel moved to stay the proceedings, contending that Gonzales was no longer mentally competent enough to communicate rationally and assist with the case. The court denied the stay, and Gonzales filed an emergency petition for a writ of mandamus in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. That court granted the request, suspending the proceedings. The Arizona Department of Corrections appealed.
In March, the high court agreed to hear the case. The question was whether a state prisoner has a statutory right to competence in federal habeas corpus proceedings. The appellate court had concluded that death row inmates were entitled to a stay when found incompetent. The Supreme Court reversed that decision on Jan. 8.
By law, a defendant has the right to counsel at trial and to be considered competent to assist that counsel at trial, not for federal habeas proceedings, Thomas said.
"Given the backward-looking, record-based nature of most federal habeas proceedings, counsel can generally provide effective representation to a habeas petitioner regardless of the petitioner's competence," he wrote…"Attorneys are quite capable of reviewing the state-court record, identifying legal errors, and marshaling relevant arguments, even without their clients' assistance."
He cited The Wayne Law Review article, which focused on Rees v. Peyton, a death penalty case in which the proceedings were stayed after Rees was found incompetent to waive his appeal. The 1965 case essentially was held in abeyance for 30 years by a one-sentence Supreme Court order, until Rees died of natural causes in 1995 when the Court at last dismissed the case.
"The unique, one-sentence order in Rees II offered no rationale for the decision to hold Rees' petition," Thomas wrote. "As a result, Rees offers no support for federal habeas petitioners seeking to stay district court proceedings or for the Ninth Circuit's opinions in … this case."
The opinion is available at www.supremecourt.gov/opinion/12pdf/10-930_7k47.pdf.

This article originally appeared in the August 16, 1977 issue of the Boston Phoenix.
Johnny Zero (the one with the studded leather dog collar around his neck) and Jimmy Blitz (he's wearing the torn .44-Magnum Killer T-shirt) – both members of a New York punk band, the Dead Boys – are on stage at the Rat. Rita Ratt (it's a combination name and title, she tells me), one of the better-known fashion plates of the local punk scene, is leaning against the bar toward the back of the club. She is concerned, so concerned that she is trying to talk over the music, a near-impossible task. Her problem: for the first time in the short history of punk rock, a history fairly dense with arrests, beatings and public outrage, many observers (including this reporter) are worried about its survival. The reason: punk music has somehow gotten involved with the fashion industry.
"Punk is shock chic," People magazine declared a few weeks ago, and there doesn't seem to be anything punks can do about it. They don't like it; they know that any punk-fashion alliance would be an uneasy one (a Hell's Angel's boutique at Saks Fifth Avenue would stand a better chance) but they also know, deep down, that punk fashion – a style that synthesizes the influences of Iggy and the Stooges, Patti Smith, the Ramones, the Sex Pistols and others, an ingenious jumble of fish-net stockings, safety pins, rummage sale clothes, chains, torn shirts and sci-fi hairdos and makeup – could catch on in a big way. And public acceptance, for the hardened punk, is a depressing prospect: Sammy Davis Jr. with a torn black T-shirt and a dog collar, singing "I Got To Be Me" on Johnny Carson; Cher in a see-through safety-pin dress; Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme explaining their matching "Sex Pistols" T-shirts to Merv Griffin. A dangerous situation to be sure, one that would almost certainly drive the whole punk movement into shrimp-colored leisure suits.
But it hasn't happened yet – so far, New York and London are the only cities to carry the look – and Rita Ratt, for one, doesn't see why it should happen at all. "I just can't understand why people would want to buy punk fashion in stores," she says, "It looks so bad. The T-shirts say "Punk" in straight letters – straight neat letters – the rips and tears are hemmed, the safety pins are gold – it's really sad.
"I mean, I wear T-shirts." She opens her work jacket to reveal a black T-shirt with "Drop Dead" scrawled in white letters across the front. "I'm wearing this tonight for the Dead Boys, but I would never buy a punk T-shirt in a store. Punk is anti-fashion; we wear stuff that we find and make ourselves – like safety pins – you won't find anyone in the Rat wearing that fashion stuff."
"Punk may not be your cup of tea but, what the hell, some people will buy anything."–Boutique magazine, a retail clothing trade magazine
At Macy's, a middle-aged couple and their teenage daughter are looking through the shirt department in the rear of the "New Ideas" department. The shirts are strange colors – purple, green, bright yellow. Some of them have rips, others have safety pins and small chains. All of them have sayings on the front: "Nasty," "Reject!" "Good For Nothing," "Punk Rock Rules!" etc.

It's sad but Eli is not a top QB. He's not a Brees, Rodgers or Brady. I've watched a lot of football and I haven't seen an elite QB stink this badly. The good ones rarely have 2 bad games in a row. When was the last time Brees or Brady didn't throw a touchdown in a game let alone three games in a row?
Good day.
