Dell has signaled its intention to enter the bring-your-own-device space with the announcement of its latest acquisition — snapping up data protection software provider Credant Technologies.
The terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but it will be seen as yet another sign of the mobile device management market's consolidation. Less than two weeks ago Citrix tied up a deal to buy Zenprise, illustrating the increased value that big companies are placing on software that helps them to manage mobile devices brought to work by their employees.
Credant provides a range of software and services designed to encrypt data and keep it secure as it bounces from smartphones and tablets to physical servers and the cloud. The company claims that its software is versatile to co-exist with any existing enterprise management system, and keeps things simple by providing a single console for data protection policies. Credant has been around for a long time, and says that since its founding in 2001 it now secures over 200 million endpoints from industries as diverse as media, healthcare, education and defense.
Dell and Credant actually have a bit of previous, as Dell already uses Credant's technology in its own data protection/encryption products. In its statement, Dell said that it now intends to use Credant's software to boost the encryption capabilities of its OptiPlex, Latitude and Precision computers.
The deal will help to serve Dell's greater goal of transitioning away from selling technology and into offering enterprise solutions. It could be that Dell will try package Credant's software with its new device management technology, the Dell KACE K3000 Mobile Management Appliance, which was unveiled at Dell World last week. K3000 allows IT managers to manage mobile devices, permissions, turn off and lock devices, and see which apps employees are using, all from one location. In addition, Dell might also try to fit this into the acquisition of SonicWall, which allows for remote data access inside enterprise, behind the firewall.
But don't expect to see any major innovations coming out of this soon. Wikibon's Dave Vellante pointed out on theCUBE that Dell has been making so many acquisitions lately, it could take as many as four years for these plans to mature and for the company to come up with a product that can seriously compete with its rivals.

(insulin glulisine [rDNA origin]) Solution for Injection
APIDRA® (insulin glulisine [rDNA origin] injection) is a rapid-acting human insulin analog used to lower blood glucose. Insulin glulisine is produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing a non-pathogenic laboratory strain of Escherichia coli (K12). Insulin glulisine differs from human insulin in that the amino acid asparagine at position B3 is replaced by lysine and the lysine in position B29 is replaced by glutamic acid. Chemically, insulin glulisine is 3B-lysine29B-glutamic acid-human insulin, has the empirical formula C258H384N64O78S6 and a molecular weight of 5823 and has the following structural formula:
APIDRA is a sterile, aqueous, clear, and colorless solution. Each milliliter of APIDRA contains 100 units (3.49 mg) insulin glulisine, 3.15 mg metacresol, 6 mg tromethamine, 5 mg sodium chloride, 0.01 mg polysorbate 20, and water for injection. APIDRA has a pH of approximately 7.3. The pH is adjusted by addition of aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide.
What are the possible side effects of insulin glulisine (Apidra, Apidra OptiClik Cartridge, Apidra SoloStar Pen)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of insulin allergy: itching skin rash over the entire body, wheezing, trouble breathing, fast heart rate, sweating, or feeling like you might pass out.
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is the most common side effect of insulin glulisine. Symptoms of low blood sugar may include headache, nausea, hunger, confusion, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, blurred vision, fast heartbeat, sweating, tremor, trouble concentrating, confusion, or seizure (convulsions). Watch...

text: I have finally taken my camper out for the first time with my 1991 Suburban from December 26-30. I'm sorry it's taken me this long to report, but I've been busy trying to get projects done on my vacation before I go back to work. The tow vehicle was my beloved 1991 Chevy Suburban that I've converted from a 1/2 ton truck to a 3/4 ton truck complete with a 14-bolt full floating rear axle, 3/4 ton front control arms and spindles, Firestone airbags on the rear springs, a massive transmission cooler, external transmission filter, and deep transmission pan with trans temp sender in it. I've got more mods done to the truck, but those are all the ones I think are relevant to towing. I also have a cheap towmaster brake controller to handle the trailer brakes. The camper is a 32 foot camper that weighs about 9500 pounds with no water in the tank. According to the date plate, a full tank of water would add another 380 pounds to it. I hooked the camper up to the truck and set my weight distributing hitch to 5 links hanging. The trailer was sitting level and the front fender clearance to the ground was about 1" higher than it started unloaded. I then aired up the airbags in the rear until I reached approximately the unloaded ride height. Hooked up chains and trailer lights, and tested them. Bad connection at the trailer light connector, but that was easily remedied with a screwdriver moving a prong on the trailer side. Pre-tripping the rest of the truck revealed I had virtually no transmission fluid. Pretty big issue. Luckily I had some to put in and filled it up. Now, my transmission has had a history of leaking and I used up the last of the ATF I had, so I stopped at the parts store on the way out. There, I looked under the truck and found I had a pretty good ATF drip coming from a cooler line. After spending 45 minutes fiddling with the hose clamp to tighten it, I refilled the transmission and continued on my way. The engine and transmission knew the trailer was there, but didn't show any signs of distress. Engine coolant was normal at around 190F and the transmission temperature was no higher than 150F. I attribute these abnormally low temperatures to the cool ambient temperature; my transmission usually runs at 175F when cruising at 70mph in overdrive. I had the transmission locked into 3rd since towing in overdrive is a big no-no. I was only able to do 45-48mph on the way out. The wind was pretty strong and whenever I'd try to go any faster, the sway of the trailer got to the point that I didn't feel safe. On the way home, I was able to make 55mph pretty easily, bursting up to 60 and even 65mph. At these speeds, I was running 2500rpm pretty much the whole time. Since this was my first time towing the camper and being the biggest thing I've towed, I took it easy and made sure to swing wide and give myself plenty of clearance at the tail of the trailer. Feeling good, I stopped at a local truck stop and scaled the truck and trailer both with and without the weight distributing hitch bars hooked and unhooked and just the truck. Here's the results of that; all numbers are in pounds: [table="width: 500, class: grid, align: center"] [tr] [td]Setup[/td] [td]Steer Axle[/td] [td]Drive Axle[/td] [td]Trailer Axle[/td] [td]Gross Weight[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Truck Only[/td] [td]2660[/td] [td]3260[/td] [td]0[/td] [td]5920[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Trailer w/weight bars unhooked[/td] [td]1960[/td] [td]5400[/td] [td]8160[/td] [td]15520[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Trailer w/weight bars hooked[/td] [td]2260[/td] [td]5000[/td] [td]8260[/td] [td]15520[/td] [/tr] [/table] So, referring to the table, I only transferred 100 pounds onto the steer axle...not enough. So, I think next time I'll add another link or possibly even 2 to the weight distributing bars to try to get some more load on the steer axle. When I weighed the truck, I didn't have any water in my fresh water tank or a full tank of fuel, so I think with both, I'll be close to 16000 pounds gross. Fuel economy was interesting. Unloaded, I can average 15mpg. With the trailer, I calculated I only made 8.5mpg. Horrifying by itself, but considering the load and lack of aerodynamics, I think I did pretty well. I'm going to try to gain some mpg with a couple mods including upgrading the ignition with a hotter coil and bumping up the timing, an e-fan install, and a couple of other things. I am also planning on replacing the rubber hose and hose clamps for the transmission cooler setup with stainless braided hoses with the good fittings on the end to try to reduce the possibility of leaks like the loose hose clamp I had. I think I covered everything I wanted to. If ya'll have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them as best I can. So, here's a couple pics: This pic was before I added air to the airbags. The back of the suburban was a little higher than that when I towed it The camper setup at the campsite

In 2000, the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL) and the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy at the Harvard Graduate School of Education formed an Adult Literacy Reading Research Working Group. In November of that year, they held a meeting to discuss the state of the science of adult literacy and to develop suggestions for future research. The working group emphasized the centrality of reading and writing to Adult Basic Education and indicated that research was needed that would focus on the complex, integrated process of reading. Research needs were outlined in both adult literacy and family literacy activities with low-literacy parents. As a foundation for further discussion, a synthesis of extant literature on adult literacy was commissioned, using criteria similar to that used by the National Reading Panel. There was so little experimental research reported in the literature that meta-analyses were impossible. However, a review of the available literature was produced. See Research-Based Principles for Adult Basic Education Reading Instruction. PDF (703 KB) It clearly highlights the need for additional research on this important topic.
In August 2001, The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Institute for Literacy (NIFL), and the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) convened a panel which included representatives from other offices of the Department of Education along with expert researchers and practitioners to discuss research needs and future directions in adult and family literacy. There was consensus in the panel that much additional research is needed on both adult and family literacy. Both the 1992 National Adult Literacy Survey, conducted under the auspices of the National Center for Educational Statistics of the U.S. Department of Education, and the International Adult Literacy Survey provide interesting information about the demographics of adult literacy in the U.S. and clearly indicate the need for and importance of adult literacy instruction. However, there is little research that directly addresses instructional or program effectiveness in this area.
While there is a large body of rigorous research on effective instructional methods for early reading by schoolchildren and on the theoretical underpinnings of reading difficulties in the school years, there has been far less scientific study of literacy interventions with adult learners. Specifically, the group called for a program of systematic, programmatic, and multidisciplinary research to determine the most effective instructional methods and program organizational approaches for both adult and family literacy programs. There is a need to increase understanding of the specific cognitive, sociocultural and instructional factors, as well as the complex interactions among these factors, that promote or impede the acquisition of English reading and writing abilities within adult and family literacy programs and activities. There is also a clear need for these fields to increase the methodological rigor of research studies, building on existing information where that information can be substantiated and provides a solid, credible foundation. It was clear that research studies are needed that will contribute scientific data that bear directly on a number of public policy issues and instructional practices directly related to programs in adult literacy and family literacy.
To meet this need, the NICHD, NIFL, and U.S. Department of Education published a research solicitation. The solicitation invited applicants to develop new knowledge on adult literacy learning and new knowledge relevant to the critical factors that influence the instruction and development of literacy (reading and writing) competencies in adults and young children (birth through kindergarten entrance) through adult and family literacy program activities. The research solicitation also invited applicants to identify or design and test the most effective program structures and models of service delivery. Specifically, the co-sponsoring agencies sought research to increase understanding of the specific cognitive, sociocultural, and instructional factors, as well as the complex interactions among these factors, that promote or impede the acquisition of English reading and writing abilities within adult and family literacy programs and activities.
On October 26, 2001, that solicitation was published. The NICHD, NIFL, and OVAE committed a total of $18.5 million over the five-year period from 2002-2006 ($3.7 million per year) to support this research. Between the publication of the call for research applications and May 15, 2002, when applications were received at the NIH, the cosponsors of this solicitation held three regional Technical Assistance workshops in Washington, DC, San Diego, CA, and Houston, TX to help researchers prepare to apply.

Free hay available for struggling horse owners
'Hay banks' help save horses from abandonment, starvation
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Help is available for horse owners who can't afford to pay the rising cost of hay.
Two Denver-area nonprofit organizations known as hay banks use donated money to buy hay and also accept donations of hay. The Hay Bank of Colorado, in Parker, and the Colorado Horsecare Foodbank, in Evergreen, distribute the hay to needy owners.
A ton of hay in Colorado costs between $350 and $500. That's as much as three times higher than a year ago, said Katrina Schou of the Colorado Humane Society.
"You have to show a need," she said of the hay banks. "They'll help you (temporarily). You may need to demonstrate that you have a plan in place for after (that)."
The hay banks can acquire hay from other states for as low as $250 a ton. The high cost has forced many owners to abandon their horses or starve them.
Last month, the Colorado Humane Society seized around 20 horses in such conditions. They're being cared for and are recovering at an area horse shelter.
"If you've fallen on hard times, your animals depend on you to make that phone call," said Schou. "They can't make it themselves."
Joe Stafford of the Pikes Peak Humane Society said he believes few horse owners are aware of the hay banks.
"I'm still seeing the other side, the suffering horses," he said. "(Humane societies) want owners to seek help right away, before the animal suffers and we have to step in with a possible criminal case."
To contact the Colorado Horsecare Foodbank, visit http://www.horsefoodbank.org or send a message to email@example.com.

School of Education
Admission and Application Information: English Education
IMPORTANT: The secondary education faculty members are restructuring their teacher certification programs at UW-Madison. These programs are moving to post-baccalaureate certification, which means that students will only be certified to teach these subjects through graduate-level work in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. The current undergraduate teacher licensing programs will be discontinued and certification will no longer be offered at the undergraduate level. Students will begin the new graduate programs in summer 2015.
The affected programs are English, Mathematics, Social Studies (Broad Field Social Studies, Economics, Geography, History, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology), and Science (Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Space Science, Broad Field/Natural Science, and Physics).
The last group of undergraduates will be admitted to the current professional programs in fall 2013. The application period for this admission period will extend from October 2012 to February 1, 2013.
Admission to the School of Education as a Pre-Professional Student
New freshmen and transfer students are admitted directly to the School of Education with a "pre" classification of some sort - Pre-Secondary, Pre-Elementary, Pre-Kinesiology, etc. This classification indicates that a student is interested in a particular program area, but hasn't completed the eligibility requirements for admission into the professional program.
On-campus students wishing to be admitted to the School of Education while working on a program's eligibility requirements can apply for admission to the School of Education by completing a pre-professional application form. However, it is not necessary to be a "pre" before applying to any of the School of Education's professional programs.
It is strongly recommended that students interested in a School of Education program meet with an academic advisor in Education Academic Services (EAS), 139 Education Building, 1000 Bascom Mall, 608-262-1651.
Admission to the Professional Program
Resources limit the number of students who can be served by UW-Madison Secondary Education teacher preparation programs. Thus, admission to this Secondary Education program is limited and may be competitive. Over the last few years 14-15 students have been admitted annually to this program. Obtaining or exceeding the minimum criteria for eligibility does not guarantee admission. Requirements and admission criteria may change from one admission period to the next.
Applicants to these programs will be admitted once a year, during the spring semester. Admission decisions will be based on course work completed through the preceding fall semester. Admission is provisional until spring semester work has been completed and posted and Education Academic Services staff have verified that students have met minimum grade point averages and earned minimum credits in their major. Admitted students will begin the sequence the following fall semester.
Eligibility for Admission for Fall 2013
To be considered for admission, students must meet the following criteria by the end of spring semester 2013:
- Total Credits: Earn 54 or more transferable semester credits (junior standing).
- Major Credits: Complete a minimum of 18 semester credits of the major requirements.
- Major Grade Point Average: Earn a minimum GPA of at least 2.75 (on a 4.0 scale) on all completed major courses.
- Cumulative Grade Point Average: Earn a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75 (on a 4.0 scale). Note: Both the cumulative GPA and the cumulative GPA based on the last 60 credits will be calculated. The higher will be used for program selection. See Last 60 Credits Rule below. Grade point averages are based on all transferable college level course work attempted.
- Take all three sections of the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) and submit scores to Education Academic Services by March 1, 2013. Also known as the Praxis I: Academic Skills Assessments, the PPST is a basic skills test offered by Educational Testing Service (ETS) and required for admission to all state teacher preparation programs by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI). The test is designed to measure reading, writing, and mathematics skills. State-mandated minimum scores are Reading, 175; Writing, 174; and Mathematics, 173. Students may be considered who have not earned minimum scores. See the ETS website for more detailed information. Important note: The UW-Madison School of Education's institutional recipient code is 1846; use of another code will prevent Education Academic Services from receiving scores.
- Submit application materials by February 1, 2013. These are expected to include the following:
- Application form.
- Autobiographical questionnaire.
- Recommendations. Two recommendation forms or letters, preferably from professionals who have observed the applicant working with young people.
- Essays. Applicants must submit two brief essays. These are designed to help faculty learn about applicants, their professional decisions, their insights into teaching, and how they think critically about the complexities of teaching their subject in the middle school or high school. Essays are evaluated by a committee of faculty, staff, and cooperating teachers on the basis of awareness of complexities in education, depth of thought, and clarity and coherence of writing. Following are the essay prompts used last year:
Part I: How and why did you choose to be a teacher in your subject area? (400 words or less)
Part II: What are one or two of the most significant challenges that you anticipate in teaching a class in your subject area? How have your experiences or background given you insight into the complexities of these challenges? Challenges can be issues that you personally find difficult or that teachers in your subject area generally find difficult. For purposes of this essay, do not offer solutions to these challenges. (700 words or less)
- Additional materials. Other documentation of abilities and knowledge, chosen by the applicant. This may be in a written (500-word limit) form or electronic form (such as audiotape or videotape not to exceed 3 minutes).
Last 60 Credits Rule
Two grade point averages will be calculated to determine candidates' eligibility and selection to programs. GPAs will be calculated using (1) all transferable college level course work attempted, and (2) the last 60 credits attempted. The higher GPA of these two will be used for purposes of admission. If fewer than 60 credits have been attempted, all credits will be used to calculate the GPA. Graded graduate course work will also be used in all GPA calculations. ("Attempted" course work indicates course work for which a grade has been earned.) For more information on this rule, click here.
Applying for Certification in More than One Subject Area
Students may apply to two certification programs. Eligibility requirements must be met and separate applications must be filed for each area of interest. Students must be admitted as a major in at least one of the program areas—it is not possible to be admitted to Secondary Education only in a minor program area. Certification in two subjects requires the consent and cooperation of the faculty coordinators of both subject areas. While multiple majors or major-minor combinations are feasible and may be advantageous as a career strategy, the additional subject area course work may require extra time beyond the sequence to complete course work. Students are encouraged to work closely with their EAS academic advisor to coordinate the requirements of multiple certifications.
Transfer Students
Applicants who are not already enrolled on the UW-Madison campus must be admissible to the University to enroll in a School of Education program. Admission to UW-Madison requires a separate application and admission process. See UW-Madison Undergraduate Admissions for application information. Find more detailed information for prospective transfer students at this link. Prospective transfer students are strongly advised to meet with an Education Academic Services advisor in advance of their application.
Selection Procedures for Fall 2013
A holistic judgment of each eligible applicant is made by a panel of English/Language Arts faculty and staff. Each judge considers the applicant's proficiency or potential proficiency on each of the criteria below by examining the contents of the applicant's file.
- Is the applicant well-qualified academically? Is this academic background consistent with the needs of the profession?
- Is the applicant thoughtful and reflective about the meaning of teaching? Are the applicant's motivations for entering the profession worthwhile and do they reflect a commitment to professional improvement?
- Does the applicant show the ability and genuine commitment to work with all children, not just the privileged or highly motivated?
- Is the applicant capable of working effectively with other professionals in the school, parents, caregivers, and members of the community outside of school?
- Does the applicant bring unique qualities to the cohort and the profession? These may include ethnic background, being the first in the family to attend college, unusual work experiences, etc.
Criminal Background Investigation and Disclosure Statement
Criminal background checks will be run on all students at admission. Applicants must also complete a disclosure statement. See this link for more detailed information.
Students with a Previous Degree
Persons who already hold an undergraduate degree are admitted to the School of Education as either an Education Special student or a Second Degree student, depending on their interests and academic background. The term Special student indicates that the student has an interest in pursuing certification in a subject area studied during the initial degree; the student does not receive a degree for this "certification only" course work. Second Degree students are seeking a second, unrelated degree from the School of Education, which may, or may not, include teacher certification. Candidates for limited enrollment programs must meet all admission eligibility requirements for the program and must compete with the eligible applicants for program admission. See this link for more details.

A reference for high school softball coaches, club and college softball coaches, and coaching instructors needing to teach the basic skills and techniques of softball.
Coaching Softball Technical and Tactical Skills is written by the American Sport Education Program (ASEP) in conjunction with softball coaching legends Kirk Walker and Mona Stevens.
ASEP has been developing and delivering coaching education courses and resources since 1981. As the nation's leading sport education provider, ASEP works with national, state, and local sport organizations to develop educational programs for coaches, officials, administrators, and parents. These programs incorporate ASEP's philosophy of "Athletes first, winning second."
Contributing author Kirk Walker drastically improved the Oregon State softball program when he became head coach in 1994. Walker has become Oregon State's all-time winningest softball coach with a 462-347-3 career record. Each season his team has improved—they've had eight seasons of winning 40-plus games. In 2005 Walker earned his second Pacific-10 Conference Coach of the Year Award after winning the Pac-10 title for the first time. Walker also coached in the Amateur Softball Association, where he led his team to four consecutive women's major fastpitch national titles. Currently he is coaching in the Pro Fastpitch Xtreme Tour. He also edited and contributed to The Softball Drill Book (Human Kinetics, 2007).
Contributing author Mona Stevens was a University of Utah softball stalwart, coaching from 1996 - 2005. She led her team to three NCAA Tournament appearances, three Mountain West Conference Tournament titles, and one regular-season championship. Throughout her coaching career, Stevens amassed a 281-239-1 (.540) record. In addition to coaching at the collegiate level, she has served as a coach for national and international competitions. In 1989 she created Mona Stevens Enterprises, conducting workshops, clinics, and camps for thousands of coaches and players annually. Stevens is the author of The Fastpitch Softball Drill Book: A Coaches' Guide to Common Problems and Corrections. She also coauthored the Softball Coaching Bible (Human Kinetics, 2002).

Open Books - Open Minds is the Rhode Island College common book program. This initiative brings together first-year students early in their first semester at RIC, and links them with upper-level peers, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, and the greater Rhode Island community through book discussions and participation in a rich array of programs and activities. A series of lectures, round-table discussions, and film screenings culminate in the annual Open Books – Open Minds Student Conference in the spring, where students showcase their writing and research on the book itself or issues inspired by the reading.
The American Democracy Project at Rhode Island College commenced Open Books-Open Minds during the spring semester 2006. After considerable input and deliberation, committee members selected Lynda Barry's The Good Times Are Killing Me as our inaugural book. One reviewer has described Barry's work as "a provocative, cross-disciplinary tour de force" embracing tough social issues in a deft, yet deceptively simple manner. Barry's book is a story plainly told yet powerfully effective. We are hopeful that the story will spark community discussion of a wide-ranging nature. While the goal of the project is intellectual engagement, the common-book project reminds us that learning takes place outside of the classroom, in any venue where people value the power and the pleasure of an open exchange of ideas.
In support of these efforts, we invited members of the Rhode Island community to read the book and to participate in the rich array of Rhode Island College events and programs related to Barry's novel.
We hope that the Open Books-Open Minds project will become a valued tradition of our community. This program was initiated from Rhode Island College's active involvement in the American Democracy Project (ADP). The ADP is a long-term endeavor involving 188 academic institutions, jointly coordinated by the New York Times and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), and designed to foster informed civic engagement in the United States. Rhode Island College is proud to be one of the first colleges in the nation to participate in this important initiative. The goals for the ADP are entirely consistent with the goals of Rhode Island College as an institution committed to academic excellence, to the value of life lived in service to others, and to the personal and professional success of its graduates. The ADP and the Common Book Project allow us to work towards fostering a caring community informed by serious inquiry, civic engagement, and open discourse where dedicated faculty strive to pass on the promise of the liberal arts education: an open and understanding mind. Please join us and become a part of this important endeavor.

U.S. Department of Labor Releases New Literacy and Numeracy Training and Employment Guidance for State and Local WIA Youth Program Providers
Earlier this month, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) of the U.S. Department of Labor, released a Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) to state and local Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Youth Program staff and service providers, to build on previous guidance and clarify the policy on increasing literacy and numeracy gains of out-of-school, basic-skills-deficient youths. The new guidance is not intended to change or replace any previous guidance related to the literacy and numeracy gains measure. OVAE assisted the ETA in developing key components of this TEGL. The guidance, therefore, should be of particular relevance to stakeholders of adult education programs that provide literacy and numeracy education to youths. It provides strategies workforce systems can use to: improve program design, service delivery, staff development, and basic skills assessment; implement performance-based contracts; cultivate strong partnerships with providers to facilitate joint responsibility for skills gains; and clarify reporting requirements and associated processes.
The Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), Title II of the WIA, is the major source of federal support for adult basic skills programs that provide instruction below the postsecondary level. Partnerships between adult education and WIA youth programs can maximize resources to achieve both educational- and employment-related outcomes. When partnering with adult education providers, WIA youth programs are advised to consult with the appropriate state adult education office about its policies and practices. Through effective basic skills assessment, support, and joint planning, programs can increase the likelihood that youths remain engaged and experience success in all program areas, including building literacy and numeracy skills.
For more in-depth information, please access the full TEGL, which includes examples of and links to programs, practices, and strategies developed by WIA youth programs and other organizations that may be useful to adult education providers.
The March 8, 2012 edition of OVAE Connection ran the article, Minnesota Announces FastTRAC Adult Career Pathway Model. That article incorrectly stated that the FastTRAC adult career pathway model had already received legislative approval from Minnesota. In fact, legislative approval for the FastTRAC program is still pending there.
April Is Financial Literacy Month
Since 2003, the United States has designated the month of April as National Financial Literacy Month to stress the importance of financial literacy and to teach Americans salutary financial habits. A number of governmental and financial initiatives support this effort.
The Obama Administration is again challenging students, teachers, and parents to emphasize the importance of financial literacy. Through April 13, high school-aged students can test their knowledge about personal finance through the National Financial Capability Challenge. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Neal S. Wolin recently noted, "challenge is an exciting way to educate students on basic finance and encourage them to make smart money management part of their everyday behavior."
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan added, "So many of the challenges we face today, both individually and as a nation, are because we have not taught these basic lessons about managing finances and making smart investments. The Challenge is an excellent tool for educators to help them teach these key skills so every student is receiving a well-rounded education and is prepared to make sound financial decisions, even from a young age."
The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Department of Education have developed an Educator Toolkit to help prepare students for the test of knowledge of financial issues. From saving for college to managing personal expenses, the challenge can help students to learn about several topics that collectively constitute a basic understanding of personal finance.
The Office of Vocational and Adult Education, working with the Office of the Secretary of Education, developed the Financial Education for College Access and Success Program in 2010. It supports state-led efforts to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of personal finance instructional materials and corresponding teacher training. Its fundamental purpose is to provide high school students with the knowledge and skills to make sound financial aid and other personal finance decisions, particularly in relation to obtaining access to, persisting in, and completing postsecondary education.
One four-year grant was awarded to the Tennessee Department of Education, which has arranged for Middle Tennessee State University to implement this project. The grantee will develop curriculum components on college admissions, applying for financial aid and scholarships, decision-making, and the college application process. These materials will reflect the Financial Literacy and Education Commission's five core competencies: earning, spending, saving and investing, borrowing, and protecting against risk. All materials produced through this program will be developed as open education resources. Additional materials on basic financial education may be found at www.mymoney.gov.

About North CoastView a map of North Coast wineries
Beyond Napa and Sonoma in the north you find a couple of other counties producing great wine. Among these are Mendocino and Lake County. The northernmost California winegrowing regions, these two counties are right above Napa and Sonoma, geographically. Yet, wine-wise they are very different – both from their southern neighbors and from each other.
Notable FactsMendocino has a high amount of organic vintners and vines. The first winery to settle here was Fetzer, which practices organic viticulture and holds some of the most vineyard land in the area. Mendocino has many pockets of micro-climates while Lake County, being smaller in size, is less diverse climactically. As for the grapes, Chardonnay is the most popular in both counties, but there are also some excellent Sauvignon Blancs, particularly in the Lake County. In red wine, Zinfandel leads the way, followed by Rhone Blends and Petite Sirah. The reds in both counties are complex and sumptuous. Anderson Valley is a sub-AVA of Mendicino and is quite well known for its excellent cool climate, producing the delicious Roederer Estate sparkling wines and some wonderful cool-climate Syrah.
About Australia
Like the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

Where I stayed
It set us back less than $1 for the 2 hour journey to Antigua, a beautiful colonial town that is surrounded by volcanoes and that is now a Unesco World Heritage Site. Most of the buildings in Antiqua were built in the 17th and 18th centuries, including huge churches and cathedrals, and there is a parque central and plaza full of market stalls, live music and cafes. We checked into our room at an OK hostel and were quite happy with our room which was up on the roof and had a terrace with great views of the town and volcanoes. We spent the afternoon wandering around and booked for a volcano trek early the next morning in the hope of seeing some fresh lava! In preparation for this and after all the excitement of the day, we headed back for a couple of beers on the roof and a good sleep ready for the alarm at 6am. How could we have been so naive? Around 1 o'clock in the morning, after finally managing to fall asleep, I thought I felt something in my hair. I know I do have a vivid imagination sometimes and had some bad bug experiences during travels in south east asia a few years ago, so I tried to ignore whatever it was I thought I had felt and looked over at Dan who was happily asleep. But then I felt it again, and again, and in more than 1 place at a time, so I shot out of bed and turned the light on, to find that our bed was full of tiny cockroaches. Yuk. We (I actually - Dan was still asleep and snoring blissfully until I woke him up) had the dilemma about whether this was normal / acceptable / just something to put up with in central america, or whether we should do something about it...a very pleasant time, kind of had the same feeling as the night we spent in death valley with similar conversation topics like 'what the !@#
Volcan Pacaya is 2552m tall and is an active volcano that frequently erupts leaving huge lava flows around the base. Health and safety doesn't quite have the same meaning in Guatemala, and organised tours drop you off at the base of the volcano, set you up with a guide / security guard no older than 14, and waves you off up the mountain. So off we went, and it was well worth it as the views were amazing and really quite incredible to be able to walk over cooled lava flows. We think the volcano had erupted 12 days before our trek, so most of the lava had solidified and it wasn't bright red and glowing like some of the pictures the tour guides use to flog the trek, but some parts that we were walking on were so hot you could feel your trainers beginning to melt. There were still molten lava flows underneath where we were walking, and our guide / security guard who was working hard to earn his tip started poking sticks and pieces of wood down into the lava and setting it on fire. We stopped on the way to the volcano in a little village to buy some cakes and biscuits, so we stopped half way up for a picnic and took in the views. Even though we were so tired after the cockroach encounters and still getting used to the temperature / humidity / altitude, it was a great morning, made all the better by the thought of a cold shower and an afternoon siesta in the suite. We booked a bus heading for Panajachel for the next day and spent the rest of our time in Antiqua wandering around, taking some pictures, and drinking Gallo - the local beer.

I am a new beekeepar and have a top bar hive with an entrance close to the roof, and a few times now I have noticed them clustering in a bubble of bees out the entrance hole. The temperature was fairly chilly the first time I noticed it, in the mid to upper 50s (F) but today it was 75 degrees out. It had rained a bit this afternoon, and the hole is right near the brood nest so I wondered if they are trying to reduce the entrance and therefore keep their brood warm and dry by using themselves or if they are thinking of swarming on me. I snapped a couple of pictures tonight so you could see what I am probably failing to explain well in words. It was around 8:30pm and a few foragers were still coming in and out of the cluster.
I also have another, larger hive (this one is my temporary hive I made out of what I had on hand) that I still need to put an entrance in. I haven't been able to decide to put it up high like this one (I do like how the roof gives it some protection from rain), or one at the bottom like the KTBH I bought that I used to make this smaller version of. I have it all made except the entrance holes and the observation window. Any recommendations? I can't just let them out the top bars for fear they will build comb on the roof, but when they bubble at the entrance like you see above it makes me think this entrance is in a bad spot.
Thanks! Colleen

Posted: October 17, 2012 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Sept. 25, 2012) – An independent study commissioned by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) found barbell bench press, the pec deck machine and bent-forward cable crossovers are the most effective exercises for targeting the major muscles of the chest.
The study, conducted by a team of exercise scientists at the Department of Exercise and Sport Science at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, sought to determine which one of the most common strength-training exercises for the chest is most effective.
"We took nine of the most common chest exercises performed by men and women, and tested which one elicited the highest level of muscle activation," said ACE Chief Science Officer Cedric Bryant, Ph.D. "According to the EMG results, three exercises (barbell bench press, the pec deck machine and cable crossovers) were far and away the winners in terms of chest muscle activation."
Exercise physiologists began the study using a test group of 14 healthy males ranging in age from 19 to 30, all of whom had prior experience in resistance training. To establish a baseline of fitness, a one-repetition max (1 RM) was determined for five moves: barbell bench press, bent-forward cable crossovers, seated chest press, incline dumbbell flys and the pec deck. A 1RM was not determined for the four exercises that rely solely on bodyweight for resistance: dips, suspended pushups, stability-ball pushups and standard pushups.
After a minimum of three days of rest, the subjects returned to perform five repetitions of each of the nine exercises at 80 percent of their predetermined 1RM, in random order. During each of the exercises, electromyography (EMG) electrodes monitored muscle activation of the pectoralis major muscles.
Compared to the top-performing barbell bench press, the pec deck machine had 98 percent of muscle activation and bent-forward cable crossovers had 93 percent.
All of the remaining exercises resulted in significantly lower muscle activation, with suspended pushups, stability ball pushups and standard pushups rounding out the lowest three.
"This study provides valuable information to individuals who want to perform exercises that best emphasize pecs," Bryant said. "Knowing which exercises yield the highest level of muscle activation will allow individuals to make more informed exercise selections in their quest to live their most fit lives."
To download a copy of the study or to explore tips on how to perform the top three moves correctly, visit ACEfitness.org.

That's the premise of "BRIEF GRISLYS", the new horror anthology selected and edited by John R. Mabry.
If you're like me and you can't get enough of horror anthologys such as Night Gallery, Twilight Zone, Amazing Stories, etc., then this book is for you. The stories range in length from a few paragraphs to a few pages.
They can be scary, funny, gruesome, frightening and thought provoking. And if you don't like the direction one is going, it's easy to skip to the next, because there's something for everyone.
Highly recommended for Halloween time fun.

The long awaited Pro Day of this year's Supplemental Draft top prospect, Josh Gordon, came and went today at the Houston Texans facility. Gordon faced a lot of pressure at this Pro Day. Over 20 teams were in attendence to see his workout. Remember, he had no 2011 season, no Combine, no All-Star, and overall very little to go off of besides 2010 film and sparingly appearing in Utah practices. But Gordon failed to disappoint.
Workout Numbers, according to Adam Caplan of SidelineView.com:
6'3, 224 pounds
4.52 forty yard dash
36 inch vertical leap
10'1 foot broad jump
13 reps on the bench press
RELATED: Check out Josh Gordon's Scouting Report Here
While he didn't run in the 4.4s like ESPN's Adam Schefter predicted,
his forty time should be no worry. He hasn't been able to get the
proper 40 time training as others that attend the Combine each year.
He's likely a 4.4 guy with more training. Also, keep in mind that he
doesn't have to be 4.4 level speed to be an outside recevier in the
NFL, which he can certainly be for his 6'3 size.
Among players 6'2 or taller at the NFL Combine, only 5 ran a faster
forty yard dash: Michael Floyd (4.47), Stephen Hill (4.36), Tommy Streeter (4.40), Derek Moye (4.48), and Marvin McNutt (4.50). Also note
that this is based on just one reported hand time, not a mix of six
hand/electronic times. His vertical jump put him at 10th among NFL
Combine participates, but still higher than Streeter, Rueben Randle and
Brian Quick.
Two highly touted second round picks had the following numbers:
Rueben Randle: 6'3, 210, 4.55 forty, 31 vert, 10'1 broad, 15 bench reps,
Brian Quick: 6'3, 220, 4.55 forty, 34 vert, 9'11 broad, 15 bench reps

Take Action: Elbit Systems
Divest from Elbit Systems Ltd.!
Both public and private investors have already divested from Elbit due to its involvement in activities that are contrary to international law. In 2009, the Norwegian Finance Ministry announced the government of Norway's decision to sell the Norwegian State Pension Fund's shares in Elbit, worth $5.4 million. The Norwegian Finance Minister Kristin Halvorsen stated: "We do not wish to fund companies that so directly contribute to violations of international humanitarian law". Others followed Norway's example: Germany's largest bank, Deutsche Bank, sold its shares in Elbit. The largest bank in Denmark, Danske Bank, acted similarly, as did one of the largest Danish pension funds, PKA Ltd. "We handle clients' interests, and we do not want to put customers' money in companies that violate international standards," said Thomas Kjaergaard, who is responsible for socially responsible investment at Danske Bank.
However, many public and private investors, as well as pension funds, still include large amounts of Elbit's shares in their portfolio. Most prominently, TIAA-CREF, one of the world's largest retirement funds, owns shares worth around $1.7 million. One of the most recent campaigns is thus to end TIAA-CREF's financial involvement in Elbit Systems. You can sign their petition here.

Hey y'all,
I'm not a big poster, but I do love me some NYG football, and I read what you guys write a lot. For the record, I mocked Bradshaw as a 7th back in '07. Let me know what you think of this (I know Hightower probably wont fall to us, but we didn't think JPP or Prince would either):
1-Hightower, ILB, Alabama
2- Iloka, FS, Boise St.
3- James, RB, Oregon
4- Egnew, TE, Mizzou
5- Reynolds, OT, BYU
6- Carder, ILB, TCU
7- Ad****, OT, OSU
Any/all thoughts are welcome. I know Fleener/Allen is the popular round 1 pick, so I thought I'd change it up a bit.

Huntsman: Partisanship Doesn't Pay
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman sat down with Washington Bureau Chief Jerry Seib recently to discuss the future of the Republican Party and the fallout from the 16-day government shutdown.
"Partisanship doesn't pay in the end," said the former Republican presidential candidate in an interview on WSJ.com. "You've got to do something. You've got to fix something. You've got to put forward ideas that kind of drive the agenda and drive the debate."
Among the areas where the debate ought to be moved from the Republican perspective: "We built the opportunity ladder, which is now broken, so the idea that you articulate a roadmap that talks about rebuilding the opportunity ladder for everybody."
Mr. Huntsman also discussed the rift between the GOP and the business community, the possible emergence of a third party, how states are handling the new health-care law, and China. Watch the full interview.
The WSJ Roundtable
Also this week, WSJ's Jerry Seib, David Wessel, Peter Landers and Neil King Jr. discussed tea-party backlash, the economy and HealthCare.gov. Here are segments from the show:

Now i am stuck, sort of. I have a flat, but I have to bend it (no jig and cannot find anyone in or around tallahassee to bend it). My FFL was ordering me a receiver, but it a) has not arrived b) he is blowing smoke or c) the vendor is blowing smoke. Dont know which, but no receiver. I may have him try the Nodak $43 special.
Now that i have all the parts i can get my barrel turned to fit the rsb/fgb. Again finding someone around here is near impossible.
I AM SO CLOSE NOW I CAN TASTE IT! My 762x25 Vityaz clone project is not too far away!

It's funny (strange) to see beekeepers paranoid about honey bees.
Due to inherent stubbornness, or determination, I kept (Tucson's version of AHB) for more than a decade, I did get a feel for many of the unique behavioral traits that are said to belong to this "hybrid swarm". If I'd had a huge colony of them, living beneath a porch or building, then after I disturbed them (intentionally or not), I might expect to have them respond defensively. But, wait, I've seen bees absolutely guaranteed to be non-AHB respond in very similar defensive ways when their large colonies were disturbed. And too there actually was a huge colony/nest of AHB living within a few feet of my back fence and I only realized they were there after the mobile home they were living under had been moved away. It seems they were a source of many swarms that subsequently became colonies of mine.
These days I import queens known for the docile behavior of their workers, and breed from them. This has significantly changed the entire dynamic of my apiaries. But, since I can't yet afford to run my queen rearing operation in a remote location populated only with drones of selected pedigree, the open mating still produces a few queens that exhibit some less than desirable traits, but fortunately very few.
I say all this because I want to emphasize that a "hot" colony of EHB could just as easily have produced the same sorry result.
What I'm really trying to say is, why does it matter what "race" the hot bees are. Any "hot" bees should be dealt with in the same way. Why does it matter if they are AHB or are not AHB? Why bother to test/analyze if their extreme defensiveness stems from Africa or Europe. If they exhibit undesirable traits, simply treat them appropriately for their behavior and be done with them. Requeen or eliminate. Once the genetics that fostered the inappropriate behavior has been eliminated, why does it matter where it originated?
Concerning packages: The behavior of the bees that make up a package are no indicator of the colony the package will later become. Most, if not all packages are headed by queens that are not the mothers of the package bees they are shipped with.


text: I loved Kenny Phillips but thank god this guy is on our team and his play has been real good. Main reason I say this is because now we dont have to worry about paying Philips after this season and can keep Brown as our starting safety. This should be able for us to keep both Nicks and Cruz and draft a young saftey to groom in place of Rolle after his contract finishes.

In the same draft we took Marvin Austin (DT) in the second round over Sean Lee (ILB). Austin had more measurables but Lee had a better pedigree and resume (and we needed a LB desperately that year ... we took Dillard in the 4th instead who was cut the following year).
With the rare exception of Beatty and Sintim (both second rounders in the same draft), Reese has treated the offensive line and linebackers as positions of lesser draft priority that he's thrown a lot of lower drafted players / FAs at to see what stuck. We've had one major FA signing to each under Reese (Boley and Baas). The strategy seems to be to see who works out from the rank and file and then bolster via FA (not agreeing or disagreeing with the strategy ... just illustrating my conclusions).
P.S. - These just came to mind recently ... I'd have to do some homework to find older instances but I'm sure they're there.

This tool can help you determine if you qualify as a "small business" under SBA size standards. Qualifying as "small" may allow your business to take advantage of valuable government contracting opportunities reserved for small businesses. To be eligible as a small business concern, your business must satisfy the SBA's size standard for your industry, be operated for profit, be independently owned and operated, and be based in the U.S., making significant contributions to the U.S. economy.
SBA uses the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as the basis for its size standards. NAICS assigns numerical codes to classify business activities to various economic sectors and industries. An NAICS code has six digits. The first two indicate the economic Sector, the third the Subsector, the fourth the Industry Group, the fifth the Industry, and the sixth the U.S. Industry.

Afghan journalist's death must lead to better combat rules
Wednesday, the Afghanistan Analysts Network (AAN) released its report, "Death of an Uruzgan Journalist: Command Errors and Collateral Damage," by Kate Clark on the July 2011 shooting death of journalist Omaid Khpalwak. Clark's details on how Khpalwak died corroborate and then go beyond the investigation already conducted by the U.S.-led NATO forces who were responsible. Her report was important to write, and is important to read.

Attacks on the Press | Colombia
Attacks on the Press 2001: Colombia
The Colombian press remained in the cross fire of an escalating, decades-old civil conflict pitting two major leftist guerrilla groups against the Colombian army and right-wing paramilitary forces. While peace negotiations slowly moved forward at the beginning of 2002, the conflict continued to take a deadly toll on journalists and sent many into hiding. At least three journalists were killed for their work in 2001. CPJ continues to investigate the deaths of five others whose murders may have been professionally related.

By: Michael R. Taylor, J.D.
Yesterday, Sunland Inc. entered into a court ordered agreement imposing requirements that must be complied with if the company is to operate. This consent decree follows FDA's suspension of Sunland's food facility registration in November as a result of evidence linking Sunland to an outbreak of Salmonella Bredeney that sickened 42 people in 20 states, as well as the company's history of violations. The company was barred from distributing food in intrastate or interstate commerce while its registration was suspended.
Yesterday's consent decree may be seen by some as a final step in the process, but at FDA we see it as a beginning. Certainly, it is a new beginning for the company, which must correct the problems identified during recent FDA inspections before being allowed to market its nut butter products. More broadly, though, it is the beginning of a new chapter in FDA history.
With the suspension of Sunland's food facility registration, for the first time FDA was, in effect, able to independently prevent a company from distributing food that could have caused harm to consumers. This was our first use of this new authority granted by the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), and it will be an important tool for FDA to use in the future to ensure the accountability of companies for the safety of the food they produce.
Under the decree, Sunland must hire an independent sanitation expert to develop a program to ensure products are produced in a sanitary way and according to good manufacturing practices. The company must also conduct environmental testing to ensure that disease-causing bacteria aren't present in its facility or in its final food products. FDA will evaluate the programs Sunland sets up, and will not allow the company to operate its peanut butter plant until we determine that its products can be safely produced.
Paving the way for this new beginning of accountability for food safety was the work of the many employees from FDA and CDC, and state and local governments, who responded to and investigated this outbreak. The work done on this investigation was outstanding. Within days of being notified of the outbreak, our Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation (CORE) network was making headway on the investigation. A link was made between the illnesses and the product and its manufacturer, and our investigators in the field ramped up their on-going investigation of Sunland's facility to find the source of the outbreak.
I also think that FDA's first use of the suspension authority provided by FSMA demonstrates the promise that FSMA itself holds in all its aspects. The suspension of Sunland's registration demonstrates FDA's new enforcement tools, but we are also working on other new preventative tools as well.
As I said earlier, we are writing new chapters in the history not just of FDA, but of food safety. Our response to the recent Salmonella Bredeney outbreak related to peanut butter was a fine example of our newest innovations, like CORE, and using our authority to suspend a registration. But there is still more to come.

Thanks for support
I would like to take this opportunity to thank family, friends, colleagues, the Nisswa Police Department and especially community members who have expressed their support for me over the last several weeks.
The events that have occurred has been stressful and difficult but the support that I received gave me indescribable comfort. This has truly been a humbling experience, and I will become a better community member because of it.
I have learned many lessons and hope to use that knowledge to better serve the citizens of Nisswa.
Thanks again.

Mobile apps are undoubtedly cool, and executives at leading online retailers have been mandating a presence of their brand in the Apple and Android app stores, but eBusiness professionals must focus on building a cohesive mobile strategy that clearly identifies the case and role for apps within their organizations. Apps are great ways to engage with your customers, but will they deliver incremental revenue above and beyond what the mobile Web is already doing? In her recent mobile commerce forecast, Sucharita Mulpuru explains that mobile commerce is set to transform retail, despite only accounting for 2% of online web sales today. In my new report The State Of Mobile Commerce Apps, I peel back the covers on the hype and take a serious look at why, when, and how eBusiness professionals should approach their mobile app strategy. Some of the issues I explore include:

Trouble Andrew Presents: Trouble Gang Mixtape (free download!)
After four years of touring and recording, Trouble Andrew returns with the Trouble Gang Mixtape, an album caliber collection of new slices of radness and remixes. Featuring an incredible range of friends and collaborators including Lil Jon, Spankrock, Amanda Blank, Santigold, Diplo, Hollywood Holt, Ninjasonik and many more, this offering is a ride-out blend of all the musical styles that the dudeman encompasses from punk to hip hop, electro and everything in between.
The artist describes it as such: "I was in the process of recording my new full length Trouble Andrew album, Dreams of a Troubled Man, and the mixtape came together on the side because so many friends and artists were around hanging out and recording shit through the process that we didn't even realize I was making a mixtape until we had it finished. It was cool to do a project that didn't really have to be consistent or have a story except that we all are individuals. That's why I love mixtapes."
