Sealth avenges early season loss, rolling over West Seattle 4-1
By Jeremy Martin
Tuesday afternoon Chief Sealth avenged an early season loss to rival West Seattle by coming away with a decisive 4-1 victory in boys soccer.
Luis Medina scored two goals, Devin Oxford put in another and Yael Pina chipped in with a goal and two assists for a Seahawk squad seeking a big homefield win.
A large and boisterous crowd showed up with home made signs and plenty of spirit for one of the area's most heated rivalry games.
West Seattle came out with plenty of energy but was unable to come away with the season sweep thanks in no small part to Sealth's potent offensive attack.
Alazar Gilay came away with the Wildcats loan goal despite the team repeatedly getting chances deep in Seahawk territory.
A windy and wet evening did little to dampen the energy as both squads gave great effort in this highly physical and aggressive match.

Okay here's another issue of mine please bare with me...
I was released from active duty in 2004 and placed on the TDRL (Temporary Disability Retirement List) for PTSD and Major Depression(I spent months in an Army mental hospital) and was told that I would be evaluated every 18 months to see if my condition stabilized; however, when I was released and sent home I kind of fell off the grid into deep depression and did not seek any type of treatment from the VA for my conditions, so when the 18 months came around and the Army asked for records of treatment, I could not provide them with anything, and nonetheless, they released from the TDRL with severance pay and a lonely 0 percent rating.
So here's, my question if the VA has recently rated me at 100 percent for the same conditions PTSD and MDD? Can I appeal the Army findings that caused my release from the TDRL with severance pay, meaning is it possible to re-instate my retirement? (note:" Im guessing" the army found as a failure to follow treatment protocol as stated in my instructions)
I also heard about a new law(hear say, unsure) that states if you were released with severance pay you could be re-evaluated from ARMY retirement?
Ultimately, do I have a case here, or should I just leave it alone?
Oh , and I also note that It took me a while to really step up to the plate, meaning a couple visits to civilian mental hospitals and VA mental health facilities to finally start seeking full time help from the VA, it's not like I was just lazy and didn't want the help, honestly I just wanted to be left alone and unfortunately it didn't make my conditions any better.
Thank you in advance fellow VETS.
Can anyone provide me with a good link(s) on this matter?

"Lord, I want to thank you for my smokin' hot wife tonight, Lisa, and my two children, Eli and Emma. Or as we like to call them, 'The Little E's,'" Pastor Joe Nelms said during the pre-race invocation Saturday night at Nashville Superspeedway.
To quote the legendary Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights: "That's right … That just happened."
Yes, the invocation utilized a little humor. It has been played nonstop on CNN, Fox News Channel and all the rest. The reaction from the public has ranged from knee-slapping approval to ambivalence. Only a few have voiced disapproval.
But it was only a matter of time before the holier-than-thou media members weighed in and expressed their concern. Funny, at first they didn't know what to make of it so they really said nothing at all. Actually the media never knows quite what to say about religion and usually stub their toe when they do.
But now the columns are coming and the media wolves are barking. "Embarrassing." "Cringe,"
Come on.
As a Christian, I know God created humor. And while I don't want to see a rash of imitators – this was funny because it was original – I know there was absolutely nothing wrong with Nelms' invocation.
So he thinks his wife is "smokin' hot" and he thanks God for her. Great! Every man should find their spouse attractive. That's a good thing.
And he thanks God for his two kids -- "the little E's," as he refers to them. Tremendous. What's wrong with thanking God for your kids?
And he appreciates Ford and Dodge and Sunoco and Goodyear and others for supporting the sport. We all appreciate what they do to make the sport so good.
The question I have of these writers that are now questioning the appropriateness of Nelms' invocation is this: Where is your column on the fact that you don't hear an invocation at an NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball, NHL, college, high school or other sporting events? You hear an invocation at every NASCAR race. It's an amazing thing to hear a crowd of almost 200,000 people instantly settle down to silence when the invocation starts at a race. You can hear a pin drop.
As long as I run a speedway, there will be an invocation.
So we can debate Pastor Nelms' prayer, but only after you take the other leagues to task for not even offering one.
In the meantime, I'll go back to laughing at other people's jokes. It's part of God's big tapestry of color that makes life fun to live. And we can discuss religion and prayer and politics and even the merits of the restrictor plate if you like, but expect to laugh some along the way. Remember, God invented humor.
Boogity, boogity, boogity.
And Amen.

How is Crohn's disease diagnosed?
The diagnosis of Crohn's disease is suspected in patients with fever, abdominal pain and tenderness, diarrhea with or without bleeding, and anal diseases, such as ulcers or fissures. Laboratory blood tests may show elevated white blood cell counts and sedimentation rates, both of which suggest infection or inflammation. Other blood tests may show low red blood cell counts (anemia), low blood proteins, and low body minerals, reflecting loss of these minerals due to chronic diarrhea.
Barium X-ray studies can be used to define the distribution, nature, and severity of the disease. Barium is a chalky material that is visible by X-ray and appears white on X-ray films. When barium is ingested orally (upper GI series) it fills the intestine, and pictures (X-rays) can be taken of the stomach and the small intestines. When barium is administered through the rectum (barium enema), pictures of the colon and the terminal ileum can be obtained. Barium X-rays can show ulcerations, narrowing, and, sometimes, fistulae of the bowel.
Direct visualization of the rectum and the large intestine can be accomplished with flexible viewing tubes (colonoscopes). Colonoscopy is more accurate than barium X-rays in detecting small ulcers or small areas of inflammation of the colon and terminal ileum. Colonoscopy also allows for small tissue samples (biopsies) to be taken and sent for examination under the microscope to confirm the diagnosis of Crohn's disease. Colonoscopy also is more accurate than barium X-rays in assessing the degree (activity) of inflammation.
Computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT) scanning is a computerized X-ray technique that allows imaging of the entire abdomen and pelvis. It can be especially helpful in detecting abscesses. Recently, CT and MRI enterography, imaging techniques which use oral contrast agents consisting of watery solutions with or without low concentrations of barium to provide more adequate luminal distension, have been reported to be superior in the evaluation of small bowel pathology in patients with Crohn's disease3.
Most recently, video capsule endoscopy (VCE) has also been added to the list of tests for diagnosing Crohn's disease. For video capsule endoscopy, a capsule containing a miniature video camera is swallowed. As the capsule travels through the small intestine, it sends video images of the lining of the small intestine to a receiver carried on a belt at the waist. The images are downloaded and then reviewed on a computer. The value of video capsule endoscopy is that it can identify the early, mild abnormalities of Crohn's disease. Video capsule endoscopy may be particularly useful when there is a strong suspicion of Crohn's disease but the barium X-rays are normal. (Barium X-rays are not as good at identifying early, mild Crohn's disease.) In a prospective blinded evaluation, video capsule endoscopy was demonstrated to be superior in its ability to detect small bowel pathology missed on small bowel radiographic studies and CT exams3.
Video capsule endoscopy should not be performed in patients who have obstruction of the small intestine. The capsule may get stuck behind the obstruction and make the obstruction worse. Doctors usually also are reluctant to perform video-capsule endoscopy for the same reason in patients who they suspect of having small intestinal strictures (narrowed segments of small intestine that can result from prior surgery, prior radiation, or chronic ulceration, for example, from Crohn's disease). There is also a theoretical concern for electrical interference between the capsule and implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators; however, so far in a small-moderate number of patients with pacemakers or defibrillators who have undergone video capsule endoscopy there have been no problems.

We wont take new lamps threat lightly
Reporter: KEN BENNETT
Date online: 16 August 2013
A parish councillor is standing firm against the possibility of vintage lamp standards in conservation arae Harrop Green being replaced by modern equivalents.
E.ON visited Harrop Green, a conservation zone near Diggle, to check street lighting as part of its borough-wide street light replacement programme.
Saddleworth parish councillor Royce Franklin contacted parish and Oldham Council colleagues to raise awareness of a possible conflict.
"Harrop Green residents take considerable pride in the conservation area," he said. "They don't want that spoilt by unnecessary additional lamps which won't match the ones currently in use."
Despite reassurances from Oldham Council, some villages with conservation property are concerned the new lamps may destroy the character of their community.
Councillor John McCann, who lives in Dobcross, is backing Councillor Franklin's stand to keep the original lamps: "Harrop Green is a lovely place. There is no need for modern lamp standards," he said.
A spokesperson for e.on said the company has talked to Oldham Council about conservation area replacements
"We understand the councils are in the process of consulting with the local community and local councillors. We're awaiting a decision from these discussions."
The decision has already been taken
" to replace like for like" -
according to Street Lighting Manager John McAuley,
in an email dated 2 July to me (KW) as a member of the
Oldham Area Civic Society concerned about Heritage Lighting
in relation to a similar enquiry regarding
all Oldham's 36 Consevation Areas .
Any queries should be referred to Oldham's
Councillor David Hibbert as local Heritage Champion -
who back on the 8 Jan endorsed by email my concerns.

OFFTOPIC ---- That sort of sounds like the US procurement program.
A perhaps more realistic production order would probably be Strike as the technology demonstrator, a Strike Dagger prototype, the Strike Dagger limited production series, a 105 Dagger prototype, and then the 105 Dagger production series. Making any major changes generally requires another prototype before tooling up for mass-production.

Like I said, the original strike was a benchmark. They got the data from the original strike and they figured, grunts can't do crap with the strike since none of them has the piloting skills kira had in seed so why not we make them out of cheap parts? Then ofcourse, when they did go with the cheap parts, that new strike didn't fare so well cause the grunts absolutely sucked. And they did the revisions once again and we now have the perfect suit for grunt units, too bad the grunts still suck.
See the logic?

One can argue that the truly revolutionary component of the original Strike was the packs. And that was the advance given the most attention. Even ZAFT feel the need to copy that with the Wizard packs.
Phase-shift armour in CE, IMO, is like alloy wheels or rear-spoiler on a road car; it improves performance, but not by enough to justify it to be installed in standard models.
As for the Gundam OS? As far as I can tell, the OS isn't an issue anymore.

My point is that as long as any major changes are made, then they would have to redo the prototyping process. The reasons for making such changes are pretty much irrelevant; it's the fact that they have to alter how the new machine has to be designed, and how it is built that's important. It's not as simple as just removing the Phase-Shift armor, they have to figure out what kind of material is going to be used in its place, how much that new armor is going to weigh, and how its mass is going to be distributed. All of this entails a large amount of redesign, and hence calls for a new prototype. It would be accurate to say that the Strike Daggers are descended from the Strike family of designs, but it's sort of stretching things to call Strike an actual prototype for the Strike Dagger.
Sort of offtopic:
Phase-Shift armor is valuable simply because there are still many battlefield threats that are unable to defeat it. Offering effective immunity from entire classes of weapons is an extremely attractive advantage for any weapon design. While it may not be cost effective to incorporate for current mass-produced models, it's quite obvious that the mobile suit designers haven't given up on doing so. In a way, it's akin to the US military's handling of stealth technology. Originally, it was only used in a small of B-2s, F-117s, and maybe SR-71s, but it's supposed to be incorporated into hundreds of F-22s and F-35s in the near future.

I just purchased a used Kahr P380 online from I believe the name was Hyatt Guns in North Carolina and I had it shipped to Leesburg Gun and Tackle in Alabama-
before purchasing the gun , I spoke with someone at the gun dealer who sold me the gun and he said the gun was in like new condition, and also he said they shot it a few times and worked perfect. I paid 450 dollars and cost 20 dollars for shipping and then my local gun and tackle shop charged 35 dollars for the paperwork involved. I hope I didnt over pay. It came with 2 magazines, case, trigger lock , owners manuel, and it is silver/black color not the all black models which are better looking to me anyway.
Ihave had it a few days and havent been able to shoot it yet as its dark when I get off work.
Anyway- should I call Kahr or hop online and register this gun? Since it is used I am not sure . I bought a new M and P 9c and did that but not sure about a used gun. Also, will the warrenty still cover this gun, is there a site where I can enter the serial niumbers and it can tell me how old this gun is?
It seems like a very well made gun, and I have read lot of good things about it. Cant wait to shoot it. Oh: when I pull the rack back, it locks in place. I dont have to push up on the slide lock. That is a nice feature, is it suppose to do that or is that a flaw?
The gun is actually for wife as she just got her concealed carry permit. I am jealous.
One other thing I have found is .380 ammo is expensive
Thanks in advance
I am still a novice, but still learning (and enjoying)

Which jquery plugin do you guys use for simple slideshow like thing usually used in the featured content with arrows?
Probably the most popular is the coda slider: http://www.ndoherty.com/demos/coda-slider/1.1.1/
Here is a good list that has several other jQuery slide shows. http://hiddenpixels.com/designer-and-developer-resources/jquery-examples/
That looks better than what I am using now!
I use:
THX 4 Sharin!
I use jQuery Cycle Plugin
I use jQuery Cycle Plugin
I do as well, very simple for me to setup and buyers to modify.
I tried that too. It did some weird thing, but I still have not changed it. The Slide Appears in the left just after the page loads which is really weird.

The American Herbalists Guild will hold its 14th annual symposium October 17-19 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the historic La Posada de Albuquerque. This year's symposium is titled "Building Knowledge, Building Community," and will focus on case studies; roundtable discussions; clinically based lectures; practitioner/client interactions; career-building strategies; and other aspects of clinical herbal medicine.
The American Herbalists Guild is the only peer-review organization in the United States for professional herbalists who specialize in the medicinal use of plants. A non-profit, educational organization, the Guild was founded in 1989 to represent the voices of herbalists nationwide. The Guild serves as a liaison to other professional associations and regulatory agencies, and promotes cooperation between herbal practitioners and other health care providers. Among its goals are the promotion of research in herbal medicine, the encouragement of high standards in herbal education and training; and the fostering of high standards of ethics and integrity in the education and practice of therapeutic herbalism. Membership in the Guild is open to professional herbalists, students and benefactors.
Conference Information
The AHG symposium begins on Friday, Oct. 17 with its annual general membership meeting and a welcoming event. A general session and panel group will discuss "Legal Issues of Herbal Practice," and at 2:00, afternoon sessions will commence. Among the topics to be examined on Friday are herbs and herbal extracts; cupping and moxa techniques for herbalists; and the lymphatic system. AHG President Aviva Romm will moderate a session on how to become a professional member of the Guild, and in the evening, Phyllis Hogan of the Arizona Ethnobotanical Research Association will discuss her work assisting traditional Native American elders in preserving their knowledge of medicinal plants.
The symposium gets into full gear on Saturday, with 10 morning- and mid-morning sessions. Highlights include a talk by David Winston on the energetics of herbs, and Francis Brinker, ND will moderate a workshop on herb-drug combinations that enhance anti-inflammatory effects and reduce drug risks. In addition, Mary Bove, ND, AHG will discuss botanical medicines that impact thyroid disease and James Snow will offer a clinical review of Hepatitis C. The afternoon will be organized into a series of roundtable discussions, small groups where participants can discuss cases, ask questions, and learn from the experiences of respected practitioners. Among the topics to be included are women's health, cancer, infectious disease, pediatrics, and cardiovascular disorders, among others. Simultaneously, a "medicine making station" will allow hands-on practice and demonstrations on how to make herbal tinctures and salves.
On Saturday evening, the Guild will hold its banquet dinner. Tieraona Low Dog, a medical doctor and former AHG president, will deliver the keynote address. Well-known in botanical and integrative medicine circles, Dr. Low Dog was appointed by President Clinton to serve on the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy, and was honored by Time magazine in 2001 as "an innovator in alternative medicine." Following her address, the evening will conclude with a book signing by AHG teachers, and a "coffee house" gathering for members to socialize.
Sunday, Oct. 19 offers a total of 20 workshops, seminars and presentations. Michael Moore, director of the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine, will present a two-part series on lesser-known botanicals and their medicinal properties. Jonathan Treasure, MNIMH, AHG will provide an update on the latest herb-drug interactions, including current research, while Christopher Hobbs, LAc, AHG, and Daniel Gagnon, AHG, will deliver talks on herbs for infectious diseases and herbs for insomnia conditions, respectively. The conference will conclude with a closing circle ceremony.
In addition to the three days of training and workshops, the Guild will offer preconference intensives on Thursday, October 16 covering topics such as phytopharmacy and herbal therapies for cancer. A postconference intensive on October 20 & 21 provides a perfect opportunity for herbal students to gain hands-on clinical experience with Guild teachers, and covers a wide variety of subjects such as intake skills, maintaining records and developing relationships with medical practitioners.
The La Posada de Albuquerque, home to this year's meeting, is less than 10 minutes from Albuquerque International Airport, and provides a cultured, relaxed environment for learning. Room reservations can be made by calling La Posada at (800) 777-5372. Symposium attendees will receive a discounted room rate; however, reservations must be made by Sept. 12 to receive a discount.

LIRNEasia is a pro-poor, pro-market think tank. Its mission is:
Catalyzing policy change through research to improve people's lives in the emerging Asia Pacific by facilitating their use of hard and soft infrastructures through the use of knowledge, information and technology
Currently, the majority of LIRNEasia 's programs are funded by the International Development Research Centre of Canada (IDRC), the Department for International Development of the UK (DFID), the World Bank and the Ford Foundation. LIRNEasia has previously received funding from info Dev, a World Bank unit that has partnered with LIRNE.NET since 2001, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), Telenor Research and Development Centre Sdn. Bhd, Malaysia (TRICAP) and the ICT Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA).
LIRNEasia partners with Research ICT Africa (RIA!) and Regional Dialogue on the Information Society (DIRSI). www.LIRNEasia.net is LIRNEasia 's principal face to the world. Also see: http://www.idrc.ca/en/ev-100824-201-1-DO_TOPIC.html
LIRNEasia , incorporated under Sri Lankan law as a non-profit organization, was launched in September 2004 during the World Dialogue on Regulation Expert Forum in Sri Lanka. LIRNEasia is governed by a Board of Directors.
Why LIRNEasia ?
Enormous amounts of money are invested annually in ICTs. The potential of information and communication technologies for economic and social progress is substantial. ICTs aren't necessarily the answer to higher incomes and development in itself; but together with other factors, they provide a means to improve people's capabilities and knowledge so that they may better their lives. The 'Asia Pacific' is the collective name for the countries roughly encircled by Russia, Turkey, Egypt and the Indian and Pacific Oceans, including the many island nations of the Pacific Ocean. There is little that the entire region holds in common. Within this vast continent, lies South Asia, home to the largest concentration of poor people in the world. Yet the Asia Pacific is seen as driving the global economy and is home to some of the world's highest ICT industry performers. But it is also home to some of the lowest.
ICT use in many developing countries is held back by laws and regulations. The existing policy and regulatory arrangements do not help people use ICTs to live their lives; they actively hinder them, for the most part. Very often, especially in South Asia, laws and regulations restrict, or even preclude the exploitation of new low-cost technologies.
LIRNEasia focuses on creating and disseminating independent, usable, actionable knowledge, through applied research, on documenting and disseminating regional best practices, on training and on short-term advisory assistance to governments/parties who request it. Our primary audiences are government (including bilateral and multilateral donor agencies), the private sector within and outside the Asia Pacific, media and civil society. We emphasize Asia Pacific expertise, but are not exclusive about it. We do case studies, but our policy is to abstract from the complexity to produce information that other countries can use.
Our Culture
"We aim to build a virtual organization that will one day make working from Bhutan as easy as working from this office. We will work in teams; we will work flexibly and we will work effectively. The organization centered on this office will help each person work to their full capacity; it will be a learning organization; a place where creativity is valued and debate encouraged. It will not be a place to clock in and out from; to engage in office intrigue; or to worry about the next promotion. It will add to your productivity, not drain it." – Rohan, LIRNEasia office opening
LIRNEasia started off with a physical presence consisting of two full time staff, an executive director and a compact 15 by 20 ft office under the leafy shade of an ancient Suriya mara (Albizia odoratissima) tree at the back of the parking lot the SLIDA, the administrative training academy of Sri Lanka, in Colombo. Neither our size nor our location has in any way limited our possibilities. Today, we have more or less 15 people coming to work everyday, with around five others working from remote locations.
With a small administrative core, much of our work is facilitated through extended networks across the Asia Pacific. The value of this is parallel to that of networks according to Metcalfe's law: the total value of a network is greater than the sum of the number of its users.
As far as technology and cost permit, LIRNEasia functions as a virtual organization. As well as a facilitator of innovative ICT uses, we aim to be an exemplar. Our office was one of the first few Wi-Fi hotspots in Sri Lanka. Our website is a user friendly work and discussion platform, adapting innovations from the blogging culture; our regional partners are often virtually present at colloquia via Skype, teleconferencing and/or the live feed. Whilst making innovative use of technologies, we emphasize the building of relationships and common values among our team members.

Former England midfielder Paul Gascoigne is recovering in intensive care at a hospital in the United States following a setback in his battle to beat alcoholism, close friend Gary Mabbutt said Sunday.
Gascoigne, a star of the 1990 World Cup, flew to Arizona this week to receive urgent treatment for alcohol addiction after a relapse.
"The first part of the treatment was the detox and unfortunately Paul had a very bad reaction to the detox which meant that as a precaution he was moved from the clinic to a hospital where he was put in intensive care so that they could monitor him," Mabbutt told Sky Sports News.
"But I spoke to his medical team here in the U.K. who spoke to Paul this morning. It's not a life-threatening situation and Paul is back on the road to recovery and hopefully soon he will be back into the clinic to continue his rehab."
Footballers past and present have offered support to "Gazza," one of England's most talented and much-loved footballers, after seeing images published of him in ill health at a charity function last week.
A group of close friends, including former England teammate Gary Lineker, organized for him to fly to a treatment center in Phoenix.
"Gazza is struggling," Lineker wrote on Twitter Sunday. "Let's hope he can hang on in there. Others have generously offered to help."
Gascoigne scored 10 goals in 57 matches for England, helping the team reach the semifinals at the 1990 World Cup and European Championship in 1996. At club level, he played for a number of teams including Newcastle, Tottenham, Lazio, Rangers, Middlesbrough and Everton.
Since quitting the game in 2005, he has been plagued with alcohol and mental-health problems that are putting his life in danger.
"Over the years he has had a lot of support from the football family, but of course it could be a long road to recovery," Mabbutt said. "Now Paul's asked for the help, we can focus on getting through this."

I evaluated the effects of past and future forest management on habitat supply and probability of occurrence for Canada lynx ( Lynx canadensis) and American martens (Martes americana). I used timber harvest and forest composition information derived from Landsat satellite imagery to develop spatially-explicit time series of habitat for lynx and martens (1970-2007) across 1.62 million hectares of commercial forestland in Maine. Timber harvesting was widespread with 55% of the forestlands receiving a harvest 1970–2007, which ultimately resulted in the broad-scale loss of marten habitat (>435,000 ha) and the increase of lynx foraging habitat (∼189,000 ha). Rapid declines in habitat supply and probability of occurrence for martens occurred 1975-1991, as large blocks of spruce-fir forest were salvage logged in response to the 1973-1985 spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) outbreak. As regenerating forest created during this period began to reach 16 years post-harvest there was a rapid increase in lynx foraging habitat and the mean density of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) within potential lynx home ranges, 1985-2007. Probability of occurrence for lynx increased during this period in areas of increased hare density. Marten habitat continued to decline in the 1990s and 2000s, which coincided with shifts in timber harvesting patterns that resulted from new forest policies implemented in 1991.
To provide a better understanding of how past forest management legacy (1970–2007) will influence outcomes of future forest management, I developed alternative forest management scenarios to model the effects on habitat supply and population density for lynx and martens, 2007-2032, across 14 townships with diverse legacies. The worst scenario for future lynx and marten habitat was a continuation of recent (2001-2007) trends in harvest rates, including an aspatial limit (∼4% of total acreage harvested) on clearcut harvesting to mimic the effects of current forest policies in Maine. Removing the limit on clearcut harvesting provided some limited benefit to both species; under all harvest scenarios, however, habitat supply and densities for both species are expected to decline from current levels as a result of past forest management legacies. Conservation planning for these species needs to incorporate the anticipated loss of habitat supply in the future.

Oregon's high quality Career and Technical Education programs incorporate rigorous academic and technical standards, as well as critical workplace skills such as problem solving, communications, and teamwork to support career and college readiness for its students. CTE courses highlight the power of collaboration as schools work with community colleges and workforce partners to ensure students receive a strong foundation of skills and experiences that will prepare them for success down the road.
Two out of three Oregon students enroll in CTE courses during high school. And while students may choose to simply take one or two career related courses, for those students who wish to go more in depth, many schools offer a CTE Program of Study. There are more than 800 of these approved programs available in high schools around the state covering career areas ranging from Agriculture to E-marketing, Sustainable Building to Health Services. Today's CTE programs provide students with focused, rigorous, and contextualized learning - linking the classroom with the real world. The goal is for students to have a rich learning experience with a seamless transition between high school CTE courses and post-secondary career training - whether that be a community college CTE program, another workforce training program or apprenticeship, or a four year college or university.
We know that connecting students' learning to real world applications generally improves student engagement and enriches the learning experience. But the results of contextualized learning seen in our CTE programs are nothing short of remarkable. For the past three years, students engaged in our CTE programs of study had a 97% graduation rate! Students are engaged, achieving at high levels, and leaving high school ready for their next steps.
We know that we need to provide all of our students with the skills that will prepare them for success in higher education and the workplace. CTE courses can help our students prepare for competitive, family wage jobs and these highly skilled graduates will also help boost our state's economy by providing local employers with a skilled, home-grown workforce.

Oregon Bright Spots - Experience Makes The Best Teachers
March 2013
New equipment provides learning opportunities for students in four counties
By Angel Carpenter (Blue Mountain Eagle)
MT. VERNON – Advanced agriculture students from local high schools recently had a rare opportunity to operate new state-of-the-art livestock ultrasound equipment.
Gail and Shirley Enright opened up their Wagon Wrench Ranch Feb. 27 to the students, who received hands-on instruction from veterinarian Colleen Robertson and Grant Union Junior-Senior High School ag teacher Kris Kizer.
Monument ag teacher Laura Thomas also lent a hand. She brought 12 students, and Kizer brought 14.
Kizer said the ultrasound machine and mobile lab cost $32,000.
Oregon Department of Education grant money available to 16 schools in the Grant, Baker, Union and Wallowa counties – $2,000 for each school – was pooled to acquire the equipment, which will be shared by the participating schools.
Sherry Cole of Grant County ESD wrote the application for the grant, which is to be used for increasing technology and dual credit opportunities for high school students.
Grant County was the first to use the equipment.
Several students performed an evaluation on pregnant cows from the Enright herd.
It was routine for some students who had performed "preg checks" on their own ranches, but it was a little out of the comfort zone for others. The delicate procedure requires a certain amount of courage, as well as know-how.
Robertson said the point of the procedure is to check for pregnancy, how far along the pregnancy is, detect the sex of the fetus and check for twins – all without poking or pinching the fetus.
"The most important thing is safety first," Robertson said.
"These are big critters, and they're not here by choice," she said, adding that when giving an exam the students should think of a way out should trouble arise. "Keep yourself, the animal and the equipment safe."
Grant Union FFA chapter president Megan Lane had performed the checks before, at friends' ranches and at a Treasure Valley Community College clinic.
"Getting this equipment was a big deal," she said. "I think it's fantastic – it's an awesome chance for these kids."
"It was really cool," said Monument student Bailey Thomas. "I wasn't going to come, but my sister Maya convinced me. She's done it before."
Classmate Jaine Homan said that once she got everything down, "it was simple."
Ryan Cook, also a Monument student, said it was "a little bit difficult" but got through the procedure successfully.
Monument student GW Clark, experienced in the process of ultrasound, noted the cow he checked was 60 days along.
At least one of the cows was expecting twins.
Kizer said the training allows students to use new industry-leading technology and learn how it helps livestock owners increase productivity. He noted the equipment can also check a carcass for meat quality before butchering.
"It helps students as they explore job opportunities in the agriculture field," he said. Those who take the extra class earn six college credits through TVCC in Ontario.
The adults were impressed with the students.
"The students were mature," said Gail Enright, and "quiet and respectful around the cattle."
He learned about the training opportunity for students at a Grant County Stockgrowers meeting and, interested in seeing youth involved in ag education, offered to have them learn the ropes of ultrasound checks at his ranch.
"I think it was a phenomenal opportunity for him to allow us to come out, and we're extremely grateful," said Kizer.
Ag students from Monument and Grant Union schools receive training in the use of livestock ultrasound equipment. From left, Treiquella Osborne snaps an ultrasound picture, Cherise Holmstrom checks the monitor and ag teacher Kris Kizer assists as another student performs an ultrasound.

CBS Evening News Shines Light on CTE
CBS Evening News this week shined a light on Career Technical Education (CTE), highlighting its role in training a skilled and competitive workforce, and helping to support the nation's economy.
The news segment, Skilled Workforce in High Demand, segued from a story on President Obama's jobs bill and noted a national report which indicated that 4.6 unemployed workers are competing for every job that is available. The connection made between the nation's economic health and CTE, and a brief nod to NASDCTEc was certainly positive.
The report went further to explore Lehigh Valley CTE programs in Allentown, Pennsylvania and the range of job opportunities students are poised to secure. Lehigh Valley schools and colleges continue to receive attention for its CTE programs. In December 2009, President Obama visited Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC), which shares a campus with Lehigh Career and Technical Institute (LCTI). The President's stop to the joint campus that December placed CTE in the backdrop as he talked about economic recovery.
John McGlade, Air Products President and CEO, vouched for CTE as a resource that could help boost the nation's economy. His company hires about 550 U.S. workers annually, but many of them can go unfilled for up to a year, he said. About 360 of those positions require 2 years of college, or advanced certification.
"Without the support and without the continued development of a skilled workforce, we aren't going to be able to fill the jobs," McGlade said.
McGlade has been a vocal advocate of CTE. He has spoken to the importance of CTE at a NASDCTEc Spring Meeting and has worked with other CTE organizations such as SkillsUSA to support CTE.

For the International Day of Older Persons: My Reflection on Growing Older
Where Is the Archangel Raphael in the Scriptures?
On September 29, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the three Archangels who have been venerated throughout the history of the Church:Michael (from the Hebrew Who Is Like God?), who defends the friends of God against Satan and all his evil angels; Gabriel (the Power of God), chosen by the Creator to announce to Mary the mystery of the Incarnation; and Raphael (the Medicine of God or God Heals), the archangel who, in the book of Tobit, takes care of Tobias on his journey. … [Read more...]

By IANS,
Hyderabad : India Monday called for adopting a balanced approach for evolving a liability and redressal mechanism for damage resulting from use of LMOs (living modified organism) so that it does not become a barrier to innovation.
Addressing the sixth meeting of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Bio-safety (COP MOP 6) which began here Monday, Minister of Environment and Forests Jayanthi Natrajan stressed the need for science-based approach to regulation and balancing the need for innovation with proper regulation.
LMOs are those organisms that are genetically modified through the application of biotechnology.
She said India being a mega diverse and a mega biotech country was committed to implementation of Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in a balanced manner.
She pointed out that India, recognizing the importance of liability and redress for use of LMOs, signed the supplementary protocol last year and initiated the process of ratification.
About 2,000 delegates from more than 150 countries are attending the five-day meet, which precedes the 11th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 11).
The Cartagena Protocol on Bio-safety was adopted in 2010 while the Nagoya-Kuala Lumpur Supplementary Protocol on Liability and Redress was adopted at the last meeting of the parties in Nagoya, Japan in 2010.
The COP MOP 6 will discuss and adopt further decisions to contribute to ensuring the safe transfer, handling and use of LMOs resulting from modern biotechnology.
With India taking over the presidency of the COP for the next two years, the minister urged the countries to fast track the process of ratification of the supplementary protocol.
She admitted that the issue of LMOs was controversial with concerns about its long term impact on bio-diversity and human health.
Of 164 parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Bio-safety, 51 have signed the supplementary protocol. Only three countries have so far ratified it. The supplementary protocol will enter into force 90 days after 40 parties have ratified it.
The minister noted that there were no shortcuts and soft options in the endeavour of balancing the application of technology with protection of environment and human health.
She stressed the need to recognize diversity in needs of countries using LMOs, their priorities and value systems.
"The challenge before us is to evolve suitable methodology and to improve upon current ones to conduct science-based risk assessment taking into account conditions and context in each country," the minister said.
The other challenge is to ensure letter and spirit of CBD is incorporated in our efforts to use LMOs in a safe and sustainable manner, she added.
The minister noted that the implementation of the protocol was slow and compliance among parties is at great variance.
She pointed out that lack of capacity and resources among parties was one of the main reasons for slow progress in implementing the obligations of the protocol.

Freedom Summer: The Savage Season That Made Mississippi Burn and Made America a Democracy by Bruce Watson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
There is a lot to like about this book. The stories are interesting and compelling (although the narrative structure was sometimes muddy and confusing). I was very interested to read about this chapter in American history that I hadn't been aware of before. I was shocked to realize how recently these things happened, and also to realize that in some cases, attempts at bringing violent perpetrators to justice are still being carried out.
This book raised a lot of questions for me about organizing, power and privilege, and the silence of a nation. It was disheartening to read about all of the dirty politics that were used to keep people from participating in "democracy".
This is a book that doesn't provide easy answers and the lives within the ambiguity of the movement and it's aftermath. It's an important book.
A jumping-off book. Fannie Lou Hamer's testimony to the Democratic Convention's Credentialling Committee is on youtube. So many people to investigate: Ella Baker, the founder of SNCC, Bob Moses, Willie Morris's My Mississippi, on and on.
Excellent both as history and as a gripping story. It is remarkable how many current House and Senate member took part... yet appear to have forgotten the lessons learned.
This is a good book on a very interesting topic. Watson chronicles the summer of 1964, "Freedom Summer," when hundreds of (mostly white) college students journeyed to Mississippi to join up with local black civil rights workers, in an effort to change Mississippi's Jim Crow voting laws. They were met with distrust, hatred, violence of all stripes, and even murder, from the local whites. This is an important, engrossing story. I'm not always sure about Watson's tone, as he has a flare for the melodramatic, and the truth is dramatic enough, especially as told in quotes from those who were there, without extra rhetorical flourishes. The organization of his narrative is sometimes jumbled, as well. While those few stylistic problems keep the book from being "perfect," it is nonetheless a great read, chronicling a time that seems impossibly far away, but was only half a century away from today. Recommended. Four stars.
Mr. Watson's book derives its power — at its best, it is the literary equivalent of a hot light bulb dangling from a low ceiling — from its narrow focus. "Freedom Summer" is about the more than 700 college students who, in the summer of 1964, under the supervision of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, risked their lives to travel to Mississippi to register black voters and open schools.

A majestic history of the summer of '64, which forever changed race relations in America
In the summer of 1964, with the civil rights movement stalled, seven hundred college students descended on Mississippi to register black voters, teach in Freedom Schools, and live in sharecroppers' shacks. But by the time their first night in the state had ended, three volunteers were dead, black churches had burned, and America had a new definition of freedom.
This remarkable chapter in American history, the basis for the controversial film Mississippi Burning, is now the subject of Bruce Watson's thoughtful and riveting historical narrative. Using in- depth interviews with participants and residents, Watson brilliantly captures the tottering legacy of Jim Crow in Mississippi and the chaos that brought such national figures as Martin Luther King Jr. and Pete Seeger to the state. Freedom Summer presents finely rendered portraits of the courageous black citizens-and Northern volunteers-who refused to be intimidated in their struggle for justice, and the white Mississippians who would kill to protect a dying way of life. Few books have provided such an intimate look at race relations during the deadliest days of the Civil Rights movement, and Freedom Summer will appeal to readers of Taylor Branch and Doug Blackmon.
