It's the noise the freeway offramp panhandler make. It is a noise they make when begging for money in the USA It's a concoction of three different words #1 dollar, #2 beer, #3 cigarette but seeing how they are crackhead, paint huiffers who sniff airplane glue and do not have the capablity to enunciate a real word it comes out "Dollabeerette".

I checked all my hives with the last warm spells. Only 4 out of 12 are alive and they are weak. There was plenty of honey/sugar water and some pollen. Test results from the Bee Lab in Maryland for the first two samples sent in came back :
Nosema hive #1 was 77.5 Million spores per bee (2.4 mites per 100 bees)
Nosema hive #2 was 53 Million spores per bee (.9 mites per 100 bees)
Comb samples from these two hives came back with "no disease found"
I'm awaiting test result for the remaining hives.
I have read on the forum about sanitizing/cleaning boxes, frames and the comb with acetic acid or bleach and possible treating of the bees (OR NOT TREATING). However, I am not sure if that is appropriate AND if it has been effective for those who have done it.
So, are my combs/boxes contaminated with nosema?
If you have sanitized, how did it turn out.
I'll be installing new packages in April and want to have as clean of a re-start as possible. Any thoughts?

Where I stayed
Youth Hostel Town Centre
On my second day I walked up to the Banff Gondola which is a cable car ride that takes you to the top of Sulphur Mountain. The weather was however pretty miserable so rather than waste money to see clouds I returned to town in the hope that the weather the following day would be better. On my return walk I discovered a woodland trail which went to the Banff Springs Hotel, close to the town centre, so I took that rather than the roadside path
The Banff Springs Hotel is a beautiful building. It was designed by a Scottish architect and looks very similar to castles in Scotland with lots and lots of turrets. The grounds are lovely too so if you visit Banff and are well off then it would be a lovely place to stay. I think it costs around $220 per night so unfortunately a $30 per night hostel had to do me!
The following day the sun was shining and I took my woodland trail back to the Banff Gondola where I passed two deer who refused to move off the path, one of which posed very nicely for a couple of photos! At the Gondola I realised that you could hike up the mountain so as firstly, I enjoy walking and secondly, it saved me a $30 cable car fee, I walked to the top which took me just over an hour and a half. The path was very nice to walk on and just got a little steep towards the top but it is a mountain so that is to be expected
The top of Sulphur Mountain, (8,140km) lets you take in views of Banff and Lake Morraine on one side and rolling hills on the other. There is a little weather station that you climb to which gets you to the highest peak. On the way back I thought I would chance my luck and see if I could get on the cable car without paying! Naughty I know, but I'm on a budget here! I got to the car loading point when someone sprang out of a booth and I thought I had chanced my luck too far and started to reach in my bag for my purse when she just asked if I wanted a photo taken which was politely declined before I was then led into a waiting car. BINGO- free ride down- get in there!
On reaching town I went for a walk along the Bow River to Bow Falls which was very pretty and I then returned to the hostel for a well deserved rest.
Two days later I joined a Moose Tour (www.ridethemoose.com) to do the 4 day Athabasca Tour which takes in Banff and Jasper National Parks. I had the most amazing time on this tour and highly recommend it to anyone visiting this area. Our guide, Shelly, was fantastic and her enthusiam and love for this area just bounced off the rocks and radiated into you. You do however, not need encouragement to fall in love with the Rockies. The sheer beauty of this part of Canada is breathtaking and I loved every second of being there.
On our first day of the tour we drove just out of Banff to visit Minnewanka Lake. We were really lucky in that the miserable weather that had been shrouding Banff for the previous few days had subsided and we had been treated to glorious sunshine in it's place. We could therefore see the tops of the mountains in the distance which had been impossible days before. We had a quick briefing from our guide on the tour and got to know our fellow travellers a little bit before heading back into Banff to pick up supplies for lunch that day and breakfast the following day. We then headed to Two Jacks Lake and then onto Lake Louise, the most famous of lakes in the Banff area.
On arrival at Lake Louise you can instantly see why it is the most photographed lake in Canada
There is a waterfall further up the trail which allows another rest point and a photo opportunity before ascending further to Lake Agnes
The hike to the Big Beehive (total hike is 5.2 km) takes you up steps and it is a bit tiring following on from the initial hike to Lake Agnes. The colour of Lake Louise is totally different yet again and the other lakes are visible in a panaraomic view which also takes in the snow capped mountain range behind. The views are beautiful and the climb is well worth it. Tourists who stay only 20 minutes at Lake Louise are really missing out!
Back on the bus we journeyed towards our Hostel for the night which was to be a wilderness hostel called Rampart Creek. En route we passed Crowfoot Glacier which is vast and very beautiful. It was covered in a thick layer of snow despite it being June and we then went on to Bow Lake nestled in Bow Glacier before heading to our last stop of the day Mistaya Canyon.
A sign at the entrance to the Canyon informs you that the Mistaya river rises in Peyto Lake where it leaves a flat bottomed valley before plunging into Mistaya Canyon. As you go down the trail towards the canyon you can start to hear the noise of rushing, rumbling water and then you catch your first glimpse of water torrenting between rocks. The sound is amazing and the speed and force of the water is incredible. The rocks which line the canyon are are scarred with deep ridges, a result of many years of water erosion and are in themselves a sight to see. There is an amazing array of different shaped rocks all telling their own story of the movement of the water. At the bottom of the canyon the water flattens out into a river bordered with lush green trees and in the distance, snow capped mountains are framed in the backdrop. The site is a beautiful spot to take some time to sit and enjoy being with nature.
After visiting the Canyon we travelled to the hostel, Rampart Creek. As it is a wilderness hostel it uses a massive solar grid to gain power and there is no mains water. The toilets are located down a path outside the main buildings. It is a proper toilet but it sits over what is basically a very deep hole in the ground. There is no flushing and you use sanitiser to wash your hands after use
We actually caught our first sighting of a brown bear earlier that day. He was crossing the road we were driving along so we obviously stopped a safe distance from him until he had completely crossed. Unfortunately for me I was sitting right at the back of the van so I couldn't get a decent photo of him. By the time we drew alongside him he was in the vegetation at the side of the road so all I could get was a bit of a bear image but not a very good one!! It was just amazing to see him though. You go on these tours hoping to see bears so to see one on your first day was "awesome" as they like to say in these parts!!
Shelly had also told us what you were supposed to do if you were faced with a bear in the wild
Tourists have their part to play in ensuring that bears stay in their territory and do not invade human areas but unfortunately many tourists do not see their role and behave in ways to actively encourage the bears to seek out human habitats. Many tourists get out of their cars when they see a bear on the road so they can get a better picture and are therefore allowing bears to be comfortable with human proximity. Some tourists have been seen, unbelievably, giving their children food to give to the bear and placing their kids on the road to get a photo of them with the bear! One of the guides saw a mother put her toddler on the road inbetween a mother bear and it's cub at which point he lost it with her and told her exactly how stupid she was and I can't blame him. How irresponsible is that?! I'm sure they wouldn't leave their kid with a Rottweiler but a bear- no worries!
Because of behaviour like this bears just see humans pointing a camera at them and driving off which is not very scary for them so they are getting the message that humans are no threat. Humans giving them food when they stop at the roadside, tells the bears that humans are linked with food and therefore encourages them to investigate human areas. Whilst these tourists think that seeing a bear up close is great and feeding it is fun and they might have fantastic photos of one, they are not seeing the bigger picture
Getting back to the hostel, Rampart Creek, it is so named as there is a creek running behind it sourced from water running down the snowy mountain above! We dipped our toes in the water and it was freezing!! The surrounding area is very quiet and peaceful and very pretty. When you first find out that you're at a hostel like this and you're not going to able to have a shower, you're not enthused but when you actually get to these places you really don't care! The surroundings make you forget about everything else. They have a sauna there and a camp fire so that's more than you get in most hostels. I really enjoyed the stay and fully believing that bears visiting the sight would be very rare indeed, I did do a midnight toilet run... and survived!!

Bills Would Require Voter ID, Increase Penalties for Voter Fraud
Delegate Kathy Afzali wants to make voter fraud a felony instead of a misdemeanor.
"It's part and parcel to fraud-free elections, especially after we had a huge fraud issue this year in the Maryland general elections when Wendy Rosen voted in two separate states for Obama twice," says Afzali, (R) - Frederick County.
Currently, people face up to a $2,500 fine for voter fraud. The bill would increase the fine up to $100,000 and up to five years in prison.
"What happens now in the State of Maryland is a slap on the wrist," Afzali says. "It's an 'Oh, please don't do that again,' but what I'd like to do is make it hurt."
Afzali's other bill would require Maryland election judges to verify a voter's identity and address. The voter would also have to show a government-issued photo ID.
"One fraudulent vote takes the vote away from a legitimate voter, and we don't want that in the State of Maryland," Afzali says. "We want everyone to know that their vote counts.
Voters have mixed opinions on the two bills.
"I think that's a fantastic idea. I don't know how anyone could vote for anything without showing proper ID," Jessica Raines says.
"I think it's silly. I think there's no evidence that there's any substantial voter fraud that goes on in Maryland," Barry Weller says.
"It would be a good idea to check IDs when voting and if the penalties increase for fraud, I think that would also be a positive," Jonathan Mathews says.
Afzali will introduce both bills in committee on February 21st. Delegate Kelly Schulz (R - Frederick County) is co-sponsoring the two bills.

Author Jeffrey Kluger's latest book, Freedom Stone, is set during the Civil War. In the story, a 13-year-old slave girl named Lillie goes on a quest to win her family's freedom. First, she must prove that her father, who was killed during a Civil War battle and later accused of being a thief, is innocent. Will a magic stone from Africa help Lillie discover the truth? Kluger spoke to TFK Kid Reporter Francesco Franzese about his inspiration for writing the book.
Many of your previous works have been focused on science. What inspired you to write a book about slavery during the Civil War?
Jeffrey Kluger:
The Civil War is an area that really hasn't been explored in children's literature the way it should be. Most contemporary novels focus on the medieval era with knights and wizardry, like Harry Potter, and Gothic vampire stories. The Civil War was such a pivotal time in American history, and I don't see a lot of children's novels out there focusing on it.
The difference between a book of science and a work of fiction is actually narrower than you would think. In the case of my first book, Apollo 13, an enormous amount of historical research was required to tell the story. The same amount of research is required for a book about the Civil War. Even if there's a bit of magic in there, the book still has to be true to the Civil War. So there's the same kind of reporting and research when writing a novel as there is with a nonfiction work.
How did you go about writing Freedom Stone?
It was actually a three-part process. I first came up with the idea when my family and I were vacationing in Paris. One night, I couldn't sleep and the idea of Freedom Stone was playing around in my head. I wrote down some notes about the story. The following summer, when we went back to Paris, I took a small stack of Civil War books with me, particularly about plantations. I spent all my mornings reading them, and I very much enjoyed it. I learned a great deal from them. When I came back in September of 2008, I began writing Freedom Stone, and finished in the spring of 2009.
What inspired you to include fantasy elements in the story?
Being a science journalist, there is so much that you write about that's not arguable since science is a non-negotiable matter. I've spent so much of my career reporting, that I enjoy writing a story where I make up the fact in which the laws of physics don't apply and you can introduce magic wherever you want. I find that liberating since I spend so much of my time writing science. Having some realism in there was very important to me too. I don't like people shooting fire or becoming vampires, since that takes away from the story. I like it more when the reader is invested in the characters and the magic is only subtly integrated. You could almost forget that the magic is there and almost believe that it's happening. I feel that it's harder to write like that because I can't rely on enormous magical intervention to save the characters. They still have to rely on their wits, courage and imagination.
Do you have any plans for a sequel?
It's meant to be a stand-alone book, but on the other hand, if there was interest in what happened to the characters after the war, I would have a lot of fun writing that. The events to liberate the slaves were remarkable, complicated, joyous and tragic. At the end of Freedom Stone, I did mention that the characters were going to settle in Pennsylvania and having cast that stone, the sequel would most likely take place there, specifically in Philadelphia. The city is just so full of American history, and I could do some research about what it looked like in 1866, after the Civil War, and what it was like for African Americans. The story would be about how the characters are trying to make their lives in Philadelphia. I would have to do extensive research about what northern cities were like after the Civil War and how life there affected African Americans. See, now you've got me thinking about it. I'll probably think about this for the rest of the day!
Did you take any knowledge from writing your previous works and use it to better your writing in Freedom Stone?
Almost every book I've written builds on the previous one in some way. One of the things I'd learned from writing my first book, Apollo 13, is that there will be days that writing will be very challenging. There will be days where you'll have trouble thinking about what to write. On those days, I'd just push myself away from my desk and take a breath. The story's all there for me, the history happened, and it's a natural tale. All I have to do is pick it up and weave it into a book that's emotionally attaching, like Freedom Stone. I learned that I also have to build a good skeleton of the story beforehand and focus on just the chapter or scene while I'm writing it.
What do you want readers to take away from Freedom Stone?
A couple of things. First of all, I want them to take away the idea of the strength and the courage of the slaves. I still think there are not enough books that focus on that. I also want readers to think about the concept of courage and what can be accomplished when people have the imagination to do it. The era of the Civil War was not just stories of the battle, but of small, incremental moments of people's lives. There was an obligation of goodness among the slaves. The slaves were being oppressed, but they overcame it and found a kind of happiness in the most punishing of circumstances.

Chefs and good cooks who are experienced in the ways of garlic, prefer juice to minced or garlic powder. The reason is simple, it's the juice within the clove that escapes and enters the food that does the flavoring. That's why juice is the most direct, flavorful way of using garlic.
Garlic Valley Farm's Cold Pressed Garlic Juice offers a robust natural garlic flavor that cannot be duplicated in any way. Simply spray juice immediately after cooking while food is still steaming hot, either in the pan, a serving bowl or on a plate. Spray to taste on salads, pasta, vegetables, chicken etc.
Their pressing process preserves all of the natural goodness of fresh garlic cloves and since the juice is added at the end of cooking, the vitamins, phytochemicals, enzymes and other nutrients in garlic are preserved where they can otherwise be destroyed by heat in the cooking process.
Each bottle has the juice of over 150 cloves of farm fresh garlic for over 1,200 sprays of Garlic Valley Farm's Garlic Juice. That's a two month supply of flavor even for garlic lovers! About 8 sprays replace one clove of garlic. By weight, up to 2 1/2 times as much garlic powder or crushed garlic is needed to equal the flavor of Garlic Juice.
Marvelous for making garlic mashed potatoes, and about the only way to put garlic on a salad. Splendid on barbecue, meats, seafoods, in sauces and soups.
You will receive one 8-ounce pump spray and pour bottle of Garlic Juice. Garlic Valley Farm's Garlic Juice has an 18-month shelf life and refrigeration is recommended but not required. All natural and Kosher Certified. Contains no fat, no artificial flavors, no chemical additives, no artificial sweeteners and no harmful preservatives.

Big contributions can be made by tiny crews. Just ask Kathy Clark, public works supervisor for "Illinois' oldest town" the Village of Palestine. Two full-time and one part-time employee maintain about one square mile of sewers, streets, and sidewalks. That's a stretch, but for the most part they make it work. "Frugality and forethought keep us out of trouble," she says. "We always think outside the box to save money."
For example, after a recent flood they needed a way to keep turtles out of pumps at the lagoon. "We had the track hoe man out there addressing a separate issue when it occurred to me to have him swing a piece of heavy sheet metal out in the lagoon, to cover the turtles' entry," says Clark. "Never again will turtles clog the pumps."
Instead of buying an excavator, her team rents heavy equipment and labor from one of the town's 1,600 residents for what Clark says is a great deal. "He even donates his time to help move trees after a big storm."
"The specialness of my crew is their work ethic," Clark says. "They jump in when they see what needs to be taken care of and they can think on their feet."
In 2004, Clark was working in the sewer department office when she noticed public works was falling behind on collecting brush as they chip-sealed streets. She asked the mayor if she could help. "I took a dump truck out and picked up brush," recalls Clark. Sometime later the mayor mentioned wanting to hire someone to paint traffic markings. Clark volunteered and has been working full time in the department ever since. "I've learned what I know from the school of hard knocks, and learn more with each new experience," says Clark.


text: I'm sitting here trying to get some more stuff done on my Boba and I figured I'd take a break. I just figured out how to get my chest lights attached to my chest armor and I have just finished sticking industrial strength velcro to the back of my armor. I have a seamstress coming by tomorrow to take my vest and sew velcro to it. I don't have time for snaps this year. She's also gonna have to let out the seams in the flight suit I got from Gabriel. Apparently my butt and thighs are a little disproportioned with the rest of my body Hopefully tomorrow my gauntlets and wookie braids will come in the mail. Still waiting on my replacement belt from Taco, but I'm sure he's on it. Hotshot says the blaster will be here by Wednesday. Man I hope so. The only thing I'm lacking is a jet pack. I tried and tried to get one by Halloween, but to no avail. My local Hastings had a Star Wars costume contest a couple of days ago and a stormtrooper won. I'm sure I woulda won if I had been ready. There are plenty of other contests on Friday, but I'll feel incomplete without that jet pack. IDK, whatta ya think? Me and several friends are going out in various SW costumes in a 15 passenger van. My wife is going as Padme, and she'll look fantastic, believe me. This will be the first year in a SW costume and I'm pumped. I'm not into it to win a contest, but it sure would be nice to be recognized. It's alot of work as everybody on here knows. Anyway...just wanted to chat and share my trials and tribulations. Only 5 days left and alot to do. Still checking on here for a jp. Overnight one to me and I'll feel much better.

NBA Draft's Potential Celtics: UCLA SF Tyler Honeycutt
|06.08.11 at 12:29 pm ET
WEEI.com continues to provide daily insight and analysis on the 2011 NBA draft. This is one in a series of profiles of players who might be available for the Celtics to select with one of their two picks (25th and 55th overall).
Tyler Honeycutt
Position: Small Forward
Team: UCLA
Height: 6-foot-8
Weight: 190 pounds
Stats: 12.8 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 2.7 apg
What he brings: A 6-foot-8 wing with elite athletic ability who has yet to realize his tremendous potential. A guy who could provide depth behind Paul Pierce and defend the likes of LeBron James and Luol Deng for spells. Sound familiar? That's what Celtics fans have heard about Jeff Green for a few months now, so the selection of Honeycutt — who is most often compared to Tayshaun Prince — might be a bit redundant.
Still, the UCLA would-be junior small forward is an intriguing option. He can cause problems for opponents on the defensive end (1.6 blocked shots per game last season) and facilitate on the offensive end (2.8 assists per game). However, he's prone to turnovers (3.0 per game) and battled injuries throughout his two college seasons (shoulder, elbow, tibia and spinal issues) in addition to being criticized for his aggressiveness and shooting woes.
His numbers aren't spectacular (his field-goal percentage dropped from 49.6 percent as a freshman to 40.6 percent as a sophomore), but the same could be said for recent UCLA-turned-NBA standouts Russell Westbrook, Jrue Holiday, Darren Collison, Aaron Afflalo and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. The simple fact that Honeycutt (along with college teammate Malcolm Lee) is the latest product from Ben Howland's system makes him worth a long look.
Where the Celtics could get him: First or second round.
What they're saying: "It won't surprise me if he goes top 10 in the draft, not at all, because of his talent. I know what he can do, so if he goes seven or eight it won't surprise me at all. As a matter of fact, it would probably surprise me if he went 20-30. That would surprise me. Because once people really see how talented he is, then they will understand my crazy comment." — Sylmar (Calif.) High head coach Bort Escoto (Honeycutt's high school coach)
Notes: There are two more peripheral things that would give me pause if I were Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge: 1) The professional athlete the Los Angeles-born Honeycutt admires most? Kobe Bryant; and 2) When a member of the Cavaliers brass asked him who he would choose if he had to pick between his girlfriend and his dog, Honeycutt was stumped. "I just didn't even answer," Honeycutt told Sports Illustrated. "I said I couldn't answer that. It's too hard to pick." Ouch.

What we need are more nominees like McCain
Indignant conservatives may rush to object. They'll cite the conventional wisdom that McCain's campaign proved singularly hapless and inept, plus the undeniable fact that the Arizona senator's opponent, Barack Obama, won a higher percentage of the popular vote, 52.9 percent, than any Democratic candidate since Lyndon Johnson.
Nevertheless, by one important measure McCain outperformed all of his party's recent candidates and demonstrated personal appeal that far surpassed the GOP's institutional standing with the electorate. In 2008, Republican candidates for the House of Representatives won a paltry 42.4 percent of the popular vote across the country. On the same ballot, McCain drew 45.7 percent, an advantage for the presidential nominee of 3.3 percent…
The important point here isn't that McCain and Eisenhower did better than their party's congressional candidates because they were more moderate, or that Reagan got more votes because he was more conservative, or that Nixon outperformed the nominees for the House because he seemed more ideologically heterodox. The real lesson is that when picking a president, voters decide more on personality than on philosophical or policy considerations. Obama's victory over Romney didn't indicate that the electorate shared his vision of a larger, more activist government. Exit polls showed a majority preferring a smaller government that attempted to do less. At the same time, Obama beat Romney by 60 points on a question about who cared most about "people like me," and that image as a more compassionate candidate tilted the election in his direction.

SANTA CRUZ -- A 34-year-old Santa Cruz man drove a Mercury hatchback into the lobby for the Rio Theatre on Wednesday night, emerging from the car and cutting his neck and chest with shards of glass.
The man was taken by ambulance to Dominican Hospital where he was pronounced dead, said Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark. The theater was closed during the crash and no one else was injured, police said.
Several people witnessed the wreck, and more gathered on Soquel Avenue as the man stabbed himself.
"It was the most awful thing I've ever seen," said Adam Bergeron, co-owner of the Crepe Place on Soquel Avenue.
"It was really gruesome and sad."
Shortly before 10:45 p.m., drivers on southbound Highway 1 near Morrissey Boulevard spotted the man driving erratically in a 1988 Mercury Tracer, police said.
The man apparently crossed Soquel Avenue and looped back on to Seabright Avenue when he slammed straight into the theater's ticket booth at 1205 Soquel Ave., said Clark.
"There was no attempt to slow or stop by the driver," said Clark.
Two doors down at Oyunaa's Mongolian Cuisine, restaurant customers and employees heard a cacophony of breaking glass. They investigated and found the ticket booth destroyed and the car in the lobby near a concession stand.
The driver got out of the car and walked to the sidewalk, taking pieces of glass from the wreckage and slashing himself, police and witnesses said.
"The glass stuck an artery causing immediate and significant bleeding," Clark said.
During the crash and aftermath, about 20 Crepe Place customers were on the street because there was a break in live bands that were performing.
While the injured man was on the ground, a bystander used a shirt or a sweatshirt in an attempt to stop the bleeding in the man's neck, witnesses said. Police officers arrived and tried to treat him, but he resisted their attempts, police said.
He was eventually put in an ambulance and taken to Dominican Hospital. Authorities have not released the driver's name.
Police said they encountered the man before because of his drug and alcohol problems. Self-inflicted stab wounds killed him, police said. His injuries from the crash appeared minor.
"It's just the weirdest thing," said Phillip Sophie, co-owner of Oyunaa's Mongolian Cuisine. He heard the crash and saw the man stab himself.
"It's so hard to piece it all together and make sense of it." Sophie is also an advertising consultant for the Sentinel.
The Rio Theatre, opened in 1946, is a venue for bands, movies and other events. Its leaders declined to comment on the crash Thursday, but they said its next shows on Friday and Sunday nights will be held despite the damage.
Baymonte Christian School will have its annual talent show Friday and Dr. Harry Greene will give a lecture on natural history on Sunday.
Thursday morning, a work crew boarded up all but two of the entrance doors, which remained intact. The lobby had tire marks on its carpet and parts of the refreshment stand and ceiling had minor damage. Authorities said the building was safe overall.
Santa Cruz police, firefighters and the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Coroner's Unit responded to the crash.
It was not the first time a car barreled into the movie theater lobby, which is on a "T" intersection at Seabright and Soquel.
In the mid-'70s during a screening of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," an intoxicated woman drove a Cadillac into the front lobby of the Rio, smashing its glass doors and stopping near the refreshment stand.
The woman did not have major injuries and no one else was hurt, said Bethany Kientzel, who was then a teenager and was in the Rio lobby.
"It looked like it was coming right for me," she said.
"If anybody would have been waiting for popcorn or soda, that's where they would have been standing. It was a huge deal."
After Wednesday night's crash, suicide prevention advocates reminded residents that anonymous, free and confidential resources are available for people with depression. For information, call the Family Service Agency of the Central Coast's 24-hour Suicide Prevention Service at 877-663-5433 or 831-458-5300.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I just ordered the book and will be so excited to join this group! One of the reviews says that some of these stars have 60 pieces! One a week is quite enough for me. I am in the middle of a mystery quilt that is taking everything I have to keep up. It will be over in the first couple of weeks in January so I should be fine. Looking forward to it! Thank you for the wonderful idea!
Put me down as a maybe.....I have a few other big projects I want to do next year. I've had this book for a while and saw a real nice quilt done with these blocks.
Posting so I can follow all of your creations since I don't have the book. I love pp.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, was blind, but now I see. [John Newton (1725-1807)]
I have enjoyed making this year's BOM stars so much that I just ordered the book in order to join in. Now.....to decide on colors. hmmmmmm Maybe I'll wait till I get the book.
Looks like we may have a really nice group going. The more the merrier. To let you know my plan, I am going to use a focus fabric with many colors so that I will have a lot of choices in accent and background colors. That is the plan anyway. Also for those who want to join but don't have the book, I have been told that Amazon has used books that are in excellent condition and reasonable too.
Sounds like a great idea! I've had the book, and only done a couple of the stars.
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
This sounds like a good one! I will get my book.
I am an organ donor. I gave my heart to Jesus.
I also have this book in route and can't wait to get started. Thank you for the inspiration. It should be fun!
I could maybe do this! thinking....................................

I've kinda progressed up the 10/22 ladder a bit after having a dozen in the past. I've got just the race rifle one(1 of 1000) and the pistol version,,, both serious tack drivers ,, Love -um!
A while back I purchased a new 10/22. I have discussed it here already. But, I never had the opportunity to shoot it before today. So, my wife and I headed out to the boonies to visit her brother. I took the 10/22 and 4 boxes (200 rounds) of some old Remington Thunderbolt ammo that I bought around 40 years ago. I have newer ammo, but, I am a firm believer in FIFO (first in, first out). I also took along the stock 10 round magazine as well as a 25 round mag which is made by Shooter's Ridge.
I am happy to report that I never had a single misfire! I think that is good for such old ammo. The 25 round mag worked flawlessly. And, the gun was very accurate, actually, probably more accurate than I am! But, all in all, I really enjoyed shooting the little jewel. I'm glad that I have it.
One thing that I want to mention about the Shooter's Ridge magazine is, that the follower spring is what is called a "constant tension" spring. It has the same tension from top to bottom. It is similar to a tape rule. It takes the same force to push in the first shell as it does the last one.
I really had a good time. But, my nephew told me that I could probably sell that .22LR ammo for $5 to $10 a box! But, I do not want to sell any. If the price ever gets close to reasonable and I find some of it for sale, I might add some more to what I have.
It was a great day today.
I've kinda progressed up the 10/22 ladder a bit after having a dozen in the past. I've got just the race rifle one(1 of 1000) and the pistol version,,, both serious tack drivers ,, Love -um!
Since I already had a couple of other 22s, I never bought a 10/22. I thought about doing it for years. So, in 2012 I finally obtained one. Yesterday was my first opportunity to shoot it. But, it won't be the last.
The Glenfield/Marlin model 60 was my first 22SA rifle I bought back around 1970.I have bought and sold three 10/22 rifles since then.I now have two Browning ATD 22sa rifles,and a
Marlin 22sa rifle w/9rd magazine.Looking foward to adding a Ruger 22/45 lite pistol with a can for shooting rats an stuff.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
Dario, Why did you shoot that poor rifle? What did it ever do to you???
Now fix it, and say your sorry!

I am thinking of getting it a new outfit! I want to make it look as pretty as possible. I think that will make it very happy. I'll let you know.
I put a bull bbl on mine and sold the original bbl. I'm starting to think that I should have stayed with the original bbl, as it shot better than I can. Now the bull bbl may be more acurrate, but as this was my squirrel rifle, it is now just to heavy to lug around the woods all day. The new lightweight bull bbl's they sell now seem to be the way to go if you want the big od. Anybody know where to get bbl fluting done cheap?

I am getting old tired and blind.. But I love my .22s.. Sounds like you had a good time..
I can not hit a damn thing anymore.. But it seems of the few weapons I own. My .22s seem really fussy what brand ammo I use.. Once you find the right brand, try to stick with it.. Hell I do not know, maybe just me..
That .22 ammo you shot.. Dear God, if you took it too a fun show, it is worth more than gold..
Hombres would be begging you for it and tossing dinero your way..
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
I was thinking that-at the current cost of ammo-it's getting too expensive to shoot! But, I actually only paid 50 cents per fifty round box back during the 70s. And, every round fired! No misfires! If I sold any of it, I would probably never be able to replace it. So, it's not for sale.
It's a well known fact that every single gun has some ammo that it shoots accurately and some with which you couldn't hit a fat man across a poker table. You have to try every available brand until you find the fodder that your gun likes. That is only done by trial and error. My 10/22 did like the 40 year old Remington Thunderbolt that I was using.
Thanks for your comments. I always appreciate them.

Oh what a year it was — from Sofia Vergara's butt to Robert Pattinson's unzipped fly, no celeb — male or female — was safe from the worse malfunction this year. Click through the gallery and VOTE on the worst!
The most recent malfunction victim was Anne Hathaway, who exposed, well, everything, at the Dec. 10 NYC premiere of her film Les Miserables. While promoting the film on Today on Dec. 12, she spoke out to host Matt Lauer:
"Well, it was obviously an unfortunate incident — I think it made me sad on two accounts. One was that I was very sad that we live in an age when someone takes a picture of another person in a vulnerable moment, and rather than delete it and do the decent thing, sells it. And I'm sorry that we live in a culture that commodifies sexuality in order to make a profit."
While Anne made the situation a much deeper issue, Sofia kept it light, proving she has a great sense of humor.
When her dressed ripped at the Emmy's on Sept. 23, she tweeted a photo for all the world to see to prove she isn't perfect (although we still think she is) and then went on Ellen's Halloween episode to surprise Ellen, who was dressed as Sofia!
Sofia said, "You look ridiculous!" Ellen responded, "I feel sexy!"

June 17, 2007 was Father's Day. I was at Fenway with my buddy, Brian Liddy, for an interleague game. The Red Sox were playing the San Francisco Giants. Liddy and I, who said disgraceful things to opposing basketball coaches as college students, were especially keen to boo MLB's reigning antihero, Giants outfielder and alleged steroid user Barry Bonds. At one point, with Bonds directly below our right-field seats, I shouted "Barry Bin Laden!" This seemed to rattle a few stoic Giants fans in our vicinity, so I followed up with "Osama Bin Bonds!" Then I repeated both variations a few times. I liked the way they sounded.
Liddy said, "Damn, Wormwood, I hate Bonds too, but I don't know how I feel about you calling him that." (Keep in mind that Liddy once called former Louisville coach Denny Crump an asshole, right to Crump's face.) So why wasn't it funny to conflate Bonds and Bin Laden? Nobody could have believed I was seriously equating the two. Osama was a mass murderer. Bonds was ruining baseball's most cherished record. My comments were jokes, and I have always maintained that anything could be funny if you can figure out the right angle.
But in the summer of 2007, less than six years after the 9/11 attacks that killed thousands, Bin Laden wasn't funny, I guess. Or maybe I should say, I wasn't funny. A sharper, more practiced comedian might have been able to make something of the topic, but my wit from the right-field cheap seats was not sharp that Father's Day. People don't want to joke about things that still trouble them, and Bin Laden, directing terror networks from hiding (he was in Pakistan by then, we have since learned) was not fodder for ill-conceived jokes, even if Bonds was fair game.
I had been thinking about that Father's Day game a lot lately, because of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster that hit Japan. When I saw that, to me, all signs pointed to Godzilla's imminent return, so I wanted to write a (hopefully) funny column about an upcoming grudgematch between old rivals: Godzilla and Tokyo. Around that same time I asked a group of writing students when it was finally OK to joke about a tragedy, and then sketched out my Godzilla idea. The concept evenly divided them, and one girl with friends in Japan stormed out in tears. I thought to myself, Too soon? Yes, too soon. Remembering my failure to get over the funny bar in Fenway four years earlier, I chickened out.
But now, with Bin Laden killed by Navy Seals, that paradigm has shifted and I'm glad to see it. Perhaps his bloody death can serve as a sanguine bookend for a dark, confusing decade, in the same way the stabbing at Altamont seemed to finally close out the 1960s. Bin Laden is gone (Bonds, too, for that matter), and so is the decade he loomed over. Good riddance to all of it.
In celebration, here are a couple of funny ones, straight from the Internet:
Q What color are Bin Laden's eyes?A Blue. One blew this way, the other blew that way.
Q Have you heard about the new Bin Laden cocktail? It's two shots and a splash of seawater. (rimshot)
Deference is the better part of valor, it has been said, and maybe some things are just never funny. I've never heard a Pearl Harbor joke. Maybe people tell those in Japan, but if so, that's OK. Godzilla is returning and he's totally going to kick their asses, again.

Why Vitamin D Levels Won't Rise Despite Supplementation
Benefits of Vitamin D:
1. It strengthens your immune system, reducing your risk of cancer as well as colds and flu.
2. It affects the development and maintenance of bone health. In people who are vitamin D deficient, you will see a wide variety of bone disorders, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia and osteomalacia - the inability to mineralize bone, causing pain and weakness.
3. It has been shown to improve hypertension and drastically reduce the risk of heart disease.
4. It can help with diabetes, psoriasis and there are even some studies that link Alzheimer's disease, depression and multiple sclerosis to low vitamin D levels.
5. Deficiency is associated with musculoskeletal pain and fibromyalgia.
6. It is commonly malabsorbed in patients with celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Note: vitamin D deficiency subsequent to celiac disease and intestinal damage has been discussed previously and is not the focus of this post.
All too often patients are supplemented with vitamin D only to find in subsequent testing that they are still deficient. Knowing the importance of normalizing these levels for optimal health, the patient is left frustrated as they have followed their clinician's instructions accurately.
What is the reason? There appear to be two major reasons vitamin D supplementation does not work adequately. The good news is that there IS a solution.
1. It has been a protocol for some time to use vitamin D2 as a supplement when D levels are found to be very low. Prescribing 50,000 IU for several weeks to a patient very deficient in vitamin D has been a standard accepted protocol.
Research reveals flaws in this protocol. The vitamin D2 potency is less than one third that of vitamin D3. Vitamin D2 has a shorter half-life in the blood and a lower affinity for the vitamin D binding protein. What this means is that according to a recent study in the French Internal Medicine Review, "vitamin D2 should not be regarded anymore as suitable for supplementation or fortification."
So if you've been supplementing with vitamin D2 switch to D3 and recheck your levels in a few months. You should also feel much better with this preferred form.
2. Very recent research brings another very important issue to light. Retinol, a form of vitamin A, competes with vitamin D (even the preferred vitamin D3) and prevents its absorption. When you supplement vitamin A you can do it in two forms. Beta carotene, or pre-vitamin A derived from vegetables (or a supplement) which, in your intestines, is converted into the correct amount of retinol needed by your body. Your body will not convert beta carotene into excessive levels of vitamin A. Retinol, the other means of supplementing vitamin A, when given directly as a supplement, bypasses the natural controls of the body as seen above when beta carotene is the source. One could, therefore, get too much vitamin A in the form of retinol.
In an ideal world, all the vitamin A you require would come from vegetables you ate and all the vitamin D you need would come from sunlight. Unfortunately, we don't live in such a place and many of us are deficient. And as discussed previously, we are not a culture that excels in consuming adequate quantities of vegetables.
Cancer, heart disease and diabetes are leading killers of Americans. As an example, a study by Dr. William Grant, Ph.D., a research scientist, found that about 30 percent of cancer deaths could be prevented each year with higher levels of vitamin D. That's truly fantastic!
Since proper vitamin D status is known to lessen the incidence of these diseases, it is critical that you maintain an optimal status.
But what if another supplement interfered?
In the recent British Medical Journal 2010; 340:b5500, an article entitled:
"Association between pre-diagnostic circulating vitamin D concentration and risk of colorectal cancer in European populations: a nested case-control study" was published. In this article the researchers confirmed that low vitamin D levels are a risk for colon cancer and those with the highest levels are half as likely to develop the disease as compared to those with the lowest levels.
However, what they almost missed was that vitamin D levels are almost entirely negated in those with the highest vitamin A intake. Ingesting vitamin A, in the form of retinol could negate the effect of supplementing with vitamin D, even with levels as low as 3,000 IU/day. That is not a high dose.
Many people are completely losing the benefits they could receive from adequate vitamin D due to taking vitamin A (retinol), either in the form of multi-vitamins or cod liver oil.
Many people take cod liver oil based on the fact that it DOES contain vitamin D, A and omega-3 fatty acids. Now it appears that it should be avoided. Vitamin A and D do work together but the form of vitamin A (beta carotene vs retinol) and the ratio between the two must be balanced. On the other side of the coin consider this: being deficient in vitamin A precludes the proper function of vitamin D.
Like most things in nutrition (and life), neither too much nor too little is beneficial.
While it's unclear what the exact correct ratio is, we do know this: vitamin A should be ingested in the beta carotene form, not retinol. Based on this research it seems unlikely that the amount of beta carotene gotten in a multiple vitamin would create any imbalance to vitamin D absorption.
Help me spread the word about this. In our clinic we see an abundance of patients deficient in vitamin D. Optimizing those levels create wonderful health benefits.

I feel like this can't be the whole story. I have read that our ancestors ate the whole animal, including liver. I am skeptical that it is as simple as "vitamin d good, vitamin a bad." I suspect - but have scant support - that the difference is sun exposure. I have seen studies indicating that retinol is protective of the skin given sun exposure. I wonder if "excess" vitamin A is only problematic if you never get any sun. Well, ok, many of us effectively never get any sun nowadays.
I have suffered for 20 yrs and 1year ago docter found out im low in vit D .I have been takeing D3 off and on to check levels still low .when i go off of d3 everthing goes wacked .But when i take it it gets better ,butt not great i think i need higher doseage of d3 .can u help
What is a suitable alternative for cod liver oil if you want to supplement Omega 3 fatty acids? Does salmon oil contain any retinol?
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
Dear Anonymous,
There are many suitable alternatives to cod liver oil. It is the "Liver" that is high in retinol (vitamin A) and therefore cod liver oil, when the source, is problematic.
Fish oil from the "body" of the fish - not the liver - does not have the problem with retinol.
I hope this helps!
To your good health,
Dr Vikki
Have you seen the recent (2012) research out of Ohio State University showing that beta carotene might actually work against vitamin A?
My doctor said i have the lowest vitamin d that shes ever seen. my vitamin d level is 6.2. She said this is why i feel like i'm dying and said i was going to be amazed at how i would feel in a few weeks...She only has me on 10,000 iu a week! to be so extremly deficent this just doesnt seem right. and its been months and i still feel like i'm dying and my body hurts so bad everyday.
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
Dear Anonymous,
That is a severely low level. I'm sorry you feel so poorly.
You are likely not absorbing your vitamin D and perhaps other fat soluble nutrients as well.

I just had blood tests and my Vit D2< 4 ng/mL, VIT D3 21 ng/mL and Vit Total 21 ng/mL. My doctor told me to add a glass of milk to my diet every day. Do you suggest a supplement too?
Dear Dr Vikki,
I am vitamin d-deficient and my calcium levels and phosphat levels are border low as well. My GP has prescribed me 1400 iu vit D3 a day. I have muscle cramping for some time and am wondering if this dose is sufficient. I am vitamin B deficient as well and have 2 monthly injections. I am wondering if I have an absortion problem.
My first D3 score was 29. I began
supplements first...1000 and then
2000 and have even taken 4000.
The Blood level after all that was
32. What is going on?
I get plenty of calcium. I do not absorb Vit B12 and do IM injections
Thoughts please.
My daughter also has a very deficient level of vitamin d. Her levels are in the single digits. Three months and counting and she is not getting any better.. she takes 10,000 inu weekly...please help!
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
Dear Anonymous,
I cannot diagnose your daughter over the internet, as I'm sure you understand.
You say that she's taking 10,000 iu/day but you don't say if it's D2 or D3.
Also, it's possible that the health of her digestive tract is preventing absorption.
If you would like to call us for a free health analysis that can be arranged - 408-733-0400.
We definitely need to figure out why her D levels are persistently low.
I'm happy to help!
How can you tell if your fish oil contains retinol? Would it have to list Vitamin A or retinol on the container? If it doesn't, does that mean it's ok?
How can you tell if your fish oil contains retinol? Does it have to list Vitamin A or retinol on the container? If it does not list it, does that mean it's okay?
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
Yes, it should be listed on the label.
It is hugely important to know WHY Vitamin D is low. Please look further at the relationship to the thyroid/parathyroid. A good explanation is at http://www.parathyroid.com/low-vitamin-d.htm
Good luck.
I take vitamin D and Omega 3s on a regular basis. I've taken Omega for a decade or more. Test results show that both are low. I think I need to find out if I'm gluten intolerant.
Hello, I have just been diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency, my GP prescribe 10,000 iu and lansoprazole for treatment of ulcer as a result, but just take the drugs for two days, but no changes in the way I feel. My bones, muscles, back and my abdomen all are pains and I feel lumps in my back and my tommy. Pls I need ur help or advice. Thanks
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
Dear Anonymous,
The drug, also called Prevacid, is for treating your ulcer symptoms, but it's not treating your vitamin D deficiency.
Did your doctor not prescribe vitamin D3?
Do you have an H. pylori infection that's causing your ulcer.
That might explain why you have the two issues.
Please consider calling us for a free health analysis (408-733-0400) so that we can assist you.

- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
@ anonymous with Vitamin D level of 21. That is a very low level of Vitamin D. For your doctor's sole suggestion to be a glass of milk is a bit concerning.
Feel free to contact me for a free health analysis (call 408-733-0400) and we can discuss what a good strategy would be for you. Low vitamin D is dangerous and dairy products cause many problems.
I"m happy to help!
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
@ anonymous re: fish oil containing retinol - a reputable company should list the type of vitamin A, if any, they include in their product. In our multiple here at the clinic, it states the percentage of retinol and beta carotene clearly.
I hope that helps!
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
@anonymous who doesn't absorb B12. The same issue that prevents your B12 absorption could also be preventing your vitamin D levels from rising.
I'd be happy to offer you a free health analysis (call 408-733-0400) to see what the best approach for you would be.

In April earlier this year my vitamin d3 and total vitamin d were 19.2 and vitamin d2 <4. I was told to take 2000IU of vitamin D but have been taking 5000IU as that is the supplement I have. I've taken it daily since April and was tested today with a reading of 16.2 vitamin d3 and d3 total. I also get plenty of sun daily and it seems I'm not absorbing it. I'm deficient in iron and b12 as well but my levels of those are going up but my vitamin d levels have fallen despite supplementation. What could be going on? I do have digestive upset daily and was told I had IBS 3 years ago but no concrete diagnosis. Thanks!

The Internet in East Africa: An aid or a weapon?
Frank Nyakairu has seen it all. A veteran war reporter, he has covered the horrors of northern Uganda and Somalia, among others places. And throughout this time of rich but often appalling experiences, he has also seen the auspicious--and sometimes terrifying--impact the Internet has had on East African reporters.
Nyakairu spoke at a recent workshop held in Johannesburg, South Africa, co-organized by Global Voices, Google Africa, and CPJ. Attendees at the conference comprised some of the most active African bloggers and online reporters on the continent who came to learn how to sharpen their online reporting skills while avoiding the censors.

Authorizers Hold Schools Accountable for Meeting Performance Goals
One of the most challenging tasks that authorizers face is to hold schools strictly accountable to the terms of their charters. Much of the work that these offices do at each stage of the authorizing process is designed to make the accountability process as straightforward and objective as possible so they can make sound decisions about whether to allow schools to continue operating when their charters come up for renewal.
Every state with a charter school law is different from one another. States differ both in how they hold schools accountable for the success of education programs and how the states hold authorizers accountable for fulfilling oversight responsibilities. Aside from approving charters and monitoring their progress, most authorizers have two main responsibilities: 1) to revoke a charter at any time when the school is clearly not meeting expectations and 2) to renew or not renew a charter based on information about whether the school has fulfilled the terms of its contract, including its academic performance goals. Renewal decisions are usually made every five years, but this timeframe varies among authorizers.
These offices ensure that they will have the information they need to make sound renewal or revocation decisions by focusing on sound practices from the very beginning of the chartering process. That is, a strong recruitment and application process allows only the most promising schools to open; a thoughtful contracting process encourages schools to develop a set of measurable performance goals; and a thorough and ongoing monitoring process documents each school's progress toward its goals, which enables the authorizer to intervene early if problems arise.
Intervene early as problems arise
While these authorizers generally take a handsoff approach to education issues, such as curriculum or instruction, each sees it as their responsibility to intervene, to varying degrees, when a school falls out of compliance with other organizational, fiscal, or performance expectations.
Only one of the 12 schools authorized by VOA of MN has performed poorly enough to warrant formal intervention. Staff members at the VOA of MN charter office attribute this success to their ongoing efforts to foster and maintain a strong, close relationship with their schools. In addition to conducting four site visits per year and requiring schools to submit two annual reports, the VOA of MN charter office also collects board minutes monthly and keeps in touch with schools informally through phone calls and e-mail. In the staff members' experience, board minutes are often an early warning sign of trouble. For example, if Testerman, the director of the VOA of MN Charter School Sponsorship Program, says he reads in the board minutes that a school hasn't been able to pay a bill or has initiated a personnel action, he follows up with the school leader by phone to ask for more information. Typically, Testerman acts as a sounding board during these phone calls as he helps the school or board leader decide what steps he or she needs to take to correct the problem. Depending on the nature of the problem, Testerman may recommend that the leader contact another charter school leader who has expertise in the problem area, or he might suggest the school hire a consultant or take some other direct action.
To address school issues ranging from academic downturn to student discipline, the California Charter Schools division and the NYC Office of Charter Schools both follow structured intervention protocols. In both offices, this process typically starts with a phone call or a visit by a member of the office, specifying the concerns. This initial contact often is followed by a formal notice of concern, in which the authorizer directs the school to decide upon and implement corrective action by a particular date (called a "Performance Improvement Plan" in NYC). Staff members will generally assist the school in taking the corrective action if the school requests assistance. If the agreed-upon improvements are not completed by the target date, the school may be given a notice of probation, which typically lasts one year. Thereafter, if the problem is still not corrected, the charter can be reviewed and possibly revoked.
In practice, interventions by the current NYC charter office staff in daily operations usually relate to facilities issues. Because so many of NYC charter schools share space with district schools, the authorizing staff members often are called upon to serve as advocates for the charter school's use of certain space. Sometimes, however, such staff members intervene on behalf of the district to require the charter operator to change its use of such space to comply with the original agreement regarding both schools' use of facilities. For example, if students of the charter school are using the school gym, but were not allocated use of this space in the original agreement, a member of the authorizing staff will meet with both school directors and work out a compromise that serves the best interests of all children.
Based on its early experiences, FSU's charter office also has developed specific guidelines for addressing problems that arise in its schools. In its first years of authorizing, the staff addressed an ongoing lack of compliance at one of its schools simply by meeting with the school's board and suggesting that it replace the school director. The intervention was successful in that case, but since then, FSU has developed a more structured plan for intervention. This plan involves an initial phone call to the school director or a board member to make them aware of the problem, followed by a formal letter outlining the specific practices or requirements that need to be addressed (issues usually concern compliance or financial management). Schools are given one year to correct the problem, during which FSU staff carefully document all of their communication with the school. If the school is unable to correct the problem by the end of that year, FSU will recommend revocation of its charter.
Fortunately, FSU also has found over the years that ongoing involvement in its schools and careful attention to compliance throughout the year heads off many challenges that would call for such an intervention. It has only had to close one school (out of the 16 it has authorized) for a failure to address major governance and organizational problems.
"Constant ongoing monitoring is the best substitute for significant intervention." —David Harris, former director of the Indianapolis mayor's charter schools office
Base decisions regarding intervention, renewal, and closure on solid evidence
Several of these offices have been faced with the difficult decision of whether to close a school that has not lived up to the terms of its charter. In some cases, clear financial mismanagement has been the reason. In other cases, schools have not met their academic goals. In many cases, a combination of factors, operational and academic, is the cause. In every case, however, closing a school has caused the office to carefully rethink many of its earlier processes. James Merriman, the former director of the SUNY Charter Schools Institute, says, "Every time we've closed a school, it's clearly a reflection of a failure on our part to make the right decision." For this reason, he and his staff use each nonrenewal decision as an opportunity to reflect on their approval standards, oversight and intervention policies, and renewal decision-making.
According to several of these organizations, the most difficult decisions they face involve schools that have not lived up to their charter but still are a better option for parents than the other schools that their children would attend (e.g., as when the charter schools have a safer school climate). Understandably, parents in this situation are likely to argue vigorously against the closure decision, resulting in contentious public hearings and negative media attention.17 Authorizers that have experienced controversial school closings agree that without solid evidence that schools have not met the terms of their charters, they would be unable to see their way through such situations.
In 2005, the mayor's office of Indianapolis revoked a school's charter due to numerous problems experienced over a two-year period, including failure to report enrollment and attendance records, graduating students who did not meet requirements, poor student test scores, lack of certified teachers, and a debt of almost $150,000. Despite the preponderance of evidence that the school had not met the terms of its charter, the prospect of this closure sparked great community and parent resistance. The mayor's office took at least two actions that eased the situation somewhat. First, the mayor and his staff were able to present careful documentation of each problem leading up to the decision to close, and second, they appointed a trustee who managed the process for communicating with parents and closing down the school's affairs.
When SUNY Institute recommends a school for nonrenewal, parents, students, and community members have an opportunity to present their concerns to the institute staff in a public forum. Each time a charter has not been renewed, a group of parents has requested a hearing. The SUNY Institute's staff members have found over the years that many parents and community members do not fully understand the reasons a school can be shut down. So, during these hearings, staff members begin by explaining the charter renewal process and the reasons for their nonrenewal decision. Just as when talking with school personnel about a closure, the SUNY Institute staff members want to ensure that parents clearly understand the institute's expectations and the renewal process. During the hearing, they also give parents an opportunity to be heard and are committed to staying until the last parent leaves.
In the case of one recent nonrenewal, the school had multiple problems, including a lack of programmatic leadership and the lowest test scores in the lowest-performing district in the state. Starting in year one and every year after, the SUNY Institute staff and outside contractors laid out to the school administrators the shortcomings they saw at the school in instruction and student learning and the improbability that the school would be able to make a compelling case for renewal. SUNY Institute staff members directed school leaders to respond with a plan for improvement. The school was unable to institute the type of change or bring in staff with the necessary expertise to improve the school's performance. over time, it became clear that the school did not have the capacity to turn itself around. Institute staff explained these problems and its responses to parents and community members present at a public forum, and thereafter directed the school to close its doors.
In Massachusetts, since the state began granting charters in 1993, six charter schools (out of the 57 it has authorized) have closed. Two of these were not renewed, while two charters were revoked, and two others voluntarily closed their doors. The most recent revocation occurred in 2005, when a school had its charter revoked due to significant under-enrollment, a spiraling deficit, failure to keep adequate records, failure to meet special education and English immersion requirements, and a lack of oversight by its board of trustees. The Charter School Office documented its findings in a report to the Massachusetts Board of Education, which voted unanimously in September 2005 to close the school.
Instead of agreeing with the state's ruling, the school challenged the decision and refused to close, citing the continued support of parents as its rationale for remaining open. The decision then meant administrative hearings for several days, during which the testimony from parents indicated that many of the families that had enrolled their children in the school did not understand the charter school "bargain"— that schools have some increased freedoms in return for increased accountability. despite the testimony of parents, the hearing officer at the hearing ultimately upheld the decision to close.18 Throughout this contentious and difficult process, the Charter School Office was able to rely on its monitoring system and the data it had collected through this system to justify its decision. Had staff members not had these data, they would have been in a much weaker position when the decision was contested.

Various problems and searches
I am having a problem with nmap-I scan an IP and it always (no matter if the computer is in my network) says the computer is off. Some of the computers I know are never shut off. I need a list of tools I can use to scan computers, find out what OS they use, etc. Also, (this sounds fishy, I know) I need some Windows virus and rootkit codes to look over and see how they are built and try to write counters to them. Google does an excellent job of telling you that 3,647,901 results came up, and only shows the first 100 pages or so. I have searched everywhere. Yahoo, Google, Dogpile, MSN, etc.
Can anyone help?
<edit>I got some tools from the recently made sticky, my other questions still stand.</edit>

Police say driver hurt in crash was not wearing seat belt
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - The K.P.D. Traffic Unit is investigating a serious crash on Fort Henry Drive.
On December 2, 2013 at approximately 5:30 PM, Kingsport Police Patrol Officers responded to a motor vehicle collision with injuries at the intersection of Fort Henry Drive and Atoka Lane in Kingsport.
Due to extensive injuries to one of the drivers, the K.P.D. Traffic Unit was contacted and responded to the scene.
Their investigation revealed that a 2007 Ford Focus driven by Elise Kiser had been in the center turn lane of southbound Fort Henry Drive preparing to make a left turn onto Atoka Lane.
A Ford F-150 had been traveling northbound on Fort Henry Drive in the left lane.
For unknown reasons, the Ford Focus pulled into the path of the Ford F-150 resulting in a collision.
Ms. Kiser suffered critical injuries and was transported to Holston Valley Medical Center where she is listed in serious condition.
She was not wearing her seatbelt at the time of the collision.
The driver of the Ford F-150 was wearing his seatbelt and was not injured in the crash.
He stated that he had a green light at the time of the collision.
The investigation is ongoing.
The Kingsport Police Department strongly encourages all occupants of motor vehicles to wear their seat belts.
Not only is it the law, but it could quite possibly be the difference in life or death in the event of a serious car crash.
Even in seemingly minor collisions, wearing a seatbelt can mean the difference in walking away unscathed versus a senseless trip to the emergency room for easily preventable injuries.

President Barack Obama's third year in the White House was filled with setbacks and successes. Overseas, the Commander in Chief oversaw many military triumphs. In May, Obama oversaw the Navy SEALs who killed terrorist leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. The President also helped topple Libya's corrupt leader, Muammar Gaddafi. In October, Obama declared an end to America's nine-year war in Iraq. He announced that all U.S. troops would return home from Iraq by the end of 2011.
Things were tougher for the President at home, where he battled Congress on the U.S. budget and economic recovery. Obama presented the American Jobs Act, a plan to create jobs and save the economy. He also reformed the college loan system, hoping to make college more affordable for Americans. Obama is now working on his reelection campaign for the 2012 election.
Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961. His father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in Kenya, and his mother, Ann Dunham, grew up in Kansas. After graduating from Columbia University and Harvard Law School, Obama worked as a lawyer in Chicago, Illinois. In 1996, he was elected to the Illinois State Senate, and in 2004, won a seat on the U.S. Senate. He ran a historic presidential campaign in 2008, receiving the most votes of any candidate in U.S. history and becoming the nation's first African-American President. Obama and his wife, Michelle, are the parents of two daughters, Malia, and Sasha.
For working towards economic stability and promoting democracy abroad, President Barack Obama is a nominee for TFK's 2011 Person of the Year.

Several GeekDads and GeekMoms (and one honorary GeekDad) made it to PAX Prime in Seattle last weekend, for our now-regular panel on "Raising the Next Generation of Geeks." Dave Banks, Erik Wecks, and I were the GeekDad representatives; Kelly Knox, Ariane Coffin, and Cathe Post were the GeekMom contingent; and Rael Dornfest was our guest GeekDad. (Cathe isn't pictured above — she was out in the crowd, handing out swag! More on that later.)
Dave moderated the panel for us, and after a brief introduction, we each spent a few minutes talking.
