Opt-Out is not a new phenomenon
The U.S. Education Department has been warning states that they could be sanctioned if their public schools can't force at least 95 percent of their students to take mandated standardized tests for "accountability" purposes. The warnings became necessary because of a growing testing "opt out" movement around the country that stemmed from the Obama administration's push to use standardized test scores to evaluate students and teachers in unprecedented ways, using methods that assessment experts say are not valid for that purpose. Education officials say that parents can't pick and choose the exams that their children take and that these tests are important for "accountability" purposes. Education activists say parents have the right to allow their children to refuse to take a test that they believe is poorly designed and whose scores are being misused.
The original Opt-Out Movement
Every three years, America compares its educational student outcomes to 70 other countries. Other countries like Finland. Yes, I know what you're going to say about that Nordic social-democratic mono-culture known for revising its once failing K-12 educational system to one that we and many other countries look to for insights and innovation. When in fact, one of the secrets to Finland's success is Equity. There are no private schools in Finland (k-12 or even higher education). Finnish parents have choice of schools but the options are all the same. In other words, Finnish parents can't and don't Opt-Out of its public education system.
America's K-12 public education system plays out like our economic model, where the marketplace creates, sustains and determines which students and schools will survive. A market where parents can make the choice to place their children in private, selective enrollment, charter or home schools. One in 10 U.S. students in grades preK-12 attends a private school, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Education. Surprised it's not a higher share? Here are few more figures for you to consider…5.1% of K-12 students attends a charter school and 3% of school aged children are homeschooled.
I know this is only the second blog I've written, but I struggle with the conclusions. I feel like I should have some amazing close with resounding words of action. So here I go.
The problems we face in our education system are weaved in an intricate blanket of racism, classism, sexism, and xenophobia. If we as a nation are serious about educating all students, which means figuring out how to solve the persistent problem of low performing students and schools, then our solutions can't include "opting out". Especially when "opting out" is only available to a small percentage of the American population because of high cost of attendance, location, strict admittance requirements tied to proven academic success or hoop jumping abilities. The only real option we are left with is to fix the schools we have – NOT create alternatives that hide the roots of low performance and gloss over the issue of equity.
What do you get when you collide 150 middle school students, an MIT astrophysicist, 3D exoplanetary simulations and real-time NASA data??? You get an innovative and creative science learning experience, called vMAX (Virtual Missions and Exoplanets).
vMAX is a collaborate immersion of science focused hands-on and minds-on learning experiences. Students are introduced to the ever changing world of planetary science, by utilizing NASA real world application data, daily interactive lectures by leading scientist in the field and incorporating virtual technology. All in hopes of creating the next generation of STEM professionals.
Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science was the place to be this summer as middle school boys and girls from around Miami-Dade Florida, meet for a jammed packed week of Exoplanetary FUN! This unique summer science program was also conducted at several other locations simultaneously across the country (Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland, CA; United States Space and Rocket Center in Hunstville, AL; Sci-Port Discovery Center in Shreveport, LA; New York Hall of Science in Corona, NY), creating a dynamic cross-sharing of ideas and experiences for its participants.
Phyllis Carey is an international atmospheric and earth science expert. She is currently leading the vMAX and GROOVE programs at the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science in Miami, Florida. Phyllis studied Meteorology at the University of Northern Colorado.
Let's Make American Schools Great Again!
No, I'm not going to write about that guy running for President. I am going to write about the canard we've been telling ourselves. The falsehood goes a little something like this: Back in the day, I guess when Dewey was around, American schools were great. We reminisce about how great our primary school days were. We talk about our favorite teacher (mine was Mrs. Veum at Beye Elementary School in Oak Park, IL) and how said teacher evoked a love of learning. The truth is, "back in the day" American schools excluded people of color from its curriculum. It segregated students of color, excluded children with disabilities, allowed millions of children to drop out, and had different expectations for women because they weren't going into the workforce. "Back in the day" academic achievement measures were introduced indicating American children were no smarter than 5th graders.
Here is where I go all Education-ese. I do love acronyms, so bear with me…
ESEA, IDEA, NCLB, and now ESSA were attempts to ensure American children were smarter than a 5th grader. I do believe these legislations had ambitious or "righteous" goals; but, each Legislation failed to produce the academic results we were hoping for. We assumed mandating tests and threatening with public humiliation would lead to miraculous academic achievement, but Legislation alongside mandates and threats have led to States and School Districts grasping at every literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional initiative under the sun by means of superficial random acts of professional development. Why do we keep finger pointing and placing blame at the "end" of the pipeline-- at students and teachers in the classrooms?
Here is my supplication to make American Schools Great Now!
We "cannot" continue to PD* our way out of a teaching and learning crisis, but rather take a deep dive into analyzing the root cause(s) for the reasons K-12 public education is broken. My research and analysis indicate the teaching and learning crisis in K-12 public education is a result of not having established and enforced "National Standards" for the practice of teaching and leading. I'm talking about National Standards that set rigorous requirements to be a teacher and leader that don't include alternatives or short cuts to certification. Additionally, "Colleges of Education" whose professors, many of whom have never taught, led, or turned around a public school, design degree programs that perpetuate race, class and culture divides. These degree programs are not aligned with current K-12 standards and assessments, and they lack job-embedded internships/practicums that could address these voids. I could make a trite comparison to the medical and legal professions, but you all are familiar with that argument.
ESSA** is in its early stages of implementation and we have the opportunity to shift the dialogue from more Legislation, mandates, and PD to addressing the real issues and root causes of the teaching and learning crisis. Are you with me? Let's Make American Schools Great Now.
*PD = Professional Development. Facilitated learning opportunities including credentials such as academic degrees to formal coursework, conferences and informal learning opportunities situated in practice.
** ESSA = Every Student Succeeds Act. which is the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, last reauthorized in 2001 as the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. The new law P.L. 114-95, enacted by Congress and signed by President Obama, addresses state education accountability, student testing requirements, intervention in low-performing schools, teacher evaluation, and grant reauthorization and requirements.

I stole this from my big Sister. I have another post for tomorrow too so...stay tuned!
listening too ... a fan and my pup snoring. It's the evening and the babe is already down for the night. Blessed be.
eating ... the last thing I ate was an ice cream cone. It was one of those nights where Chad was at class really late and I needed to get out so I buckled the boy up after dinner and we hit the Dairy Queen.
reading ... Catcher in the Rye. I started this one a while back and recently delved back into it. I am about half way through and really enjoying it.
wearing ... a gigantic hoody and sweat pants from Walmart. At least I am wearing Mascara.
feeling ... fine. Just chill.
weather ... freezing. It has literally been snowing all day.
wanting ... to be able to go for daily walks again. I miss it. So does my lady pup.
needing ... to work out. I have become lazy for quite some time now and I just don't feel great. We'll see...
thinking ... I have been frustrated lately because I feel like I can't express myself the way that I want to. It's almost as if I can't find the words that make sense. It's caused some frustration with my blogging as well. Maybe it's writers block? I have so many thoughts. It's nuts!
enjoying ... watching Geddy grow. Today he clapped for the first time on his own. I'm pretty sure he should have been doing that earlier but he didn't. He chose to do it today. And I was so excited. And so was he :)
Happy Tuesday!

The parishes will be driving 12 passenger vans to travel to Harlan, KY. We will be staying at a camp provided by COAP, CAMP SLEEPYHOLLOW. We will be responsible for cooking and cleaning up after ourselves.
Our group will also have sightseeing tours in the evenings, team-building activities, prayer and meditations, and travel around the local area. We will be working to improve life in a small area of theAppalachian Mountains by renovating homes, new construction, landscaping, and more. Students willreceive approximately 30 hours community service credit.

Hershey high school graduate Tucker Hicks fulfilled a dream Wednesday by accepting a wrestling scholarship to Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa.
When HIcks started making his college plans, Morningside was his first choice. However, he turned down their first offer as it would not meet his financial needs. Hershey wrestling Coach Jeff Linden said the college was able to free up some scholarship money and make him a better offer.
"They really wanted him to come there and came back about a month later with the offer that he accepted," Linden said.
Hicks was a two-time state tournament qualifier at Hershey, and amassed 40 wins his senior year.
Linden said Hicks is a good student and a hard working athlete who hasn't reached his full potential. "When he hits the weight room he will become a really good college wrestler," Linden said.
Hicks is the son of Jeff and Paula Hicks.

A Splash of Creativity (artisticheather)
Vanellope found herself more than a little bored at present. She couldn't think of much to do, and since her friends were otherwise occupied at the moment it left her with very little in the means of options. Gobbstopper and Skittle had been left behind once again, as she had thought the two looked a bit unwilling to tag along, and Vanellope decided to wander about near the entrance of the game. She'd quickly tired of this, though, and decided to lean up against a nearby formation of candy. This did little to cure her of her boredom, but it was better than pacing around like she had nowhere better to go.
"What's a girl gotta do to find something entertaining around here?" she wondered out loud. Sure she could have gone back to the candy cane forest or even to some other haunt of hers, but today she didn't feel like it. She just wanted to find something new to do. Maybe even someone new to talk to. Vanellope wasn't sure if she'd find either of those things by hanging around near the entrance of the game, but part of her hoped she would. It was just a matter of waiting to see if anyone came along.
Hazel eyes went up to the rainbow sugar bridge and Vanellope frowned a little. Still no newcomers. It was a little odd for her, seeing as she always seemed to be welcoming people those days, but today nothing was happening and nobody was showing up. Would that change any time soon?

The Raiders finally turned their attention to their defensive line in the fourth round, drafting a Justin Ellis, a nose tackle out of Louisiana Tech, with the 107th overall selection. Ellis is a large tackle, at 6'1" and 334 lbs. He has a good motor for a big player, says NFL Network's Mike Mayock. Mayock said that Ellis didn't show the laziness that plagues many large tackles. When Ellis was knocked to the ground, he would pop right up and continue to play. Ellis has a low center of gravity, with a big belly and big backside, which allows him to dig in on run plays. He's a better run stopper than he is a pass rusher. He's struggled with weight and played much of last year in the 350 range instead of the 330s where he is now listed. Nicknamed Jelly, Ellis was productive when healthy at Louisiana Tech, where he was their starting nose tackle. He has struggled with injuries in his college career, having some issues with a right ankle sprain which was, in part, due to his weight struggles. If he can get his weight under control, he can be a very solid contributor and possibly even a special player over center for the Raiders. The Raiders pick again at 116, unless they choose to trade the selection.

USDJPY: Loses Upside Momentum
The pair has backed off higher prices and turned lower the past week, leaving the risk of further weakness on the cards. Unless it returns above the 80.59 level, we should see further weakness towards the 78.78 level. A turn below here will call for a run at the 77.66 level. Further down, support lies at the 76.49 level and then the 75.57 level. On the upside, a return above the 80.59 level must occur to reverse its past weak losses and bring further upside towards its April 04'2012 high at 81.85. Further out, resistance resides at the 82.53 level. All in all, USDJPY remains vulnerable into the week.

Sometimes a big trip just isn't in the cards. Sometimes it isn't in the cards for the upcoming month, quarter, or even year. While that situation is definitely a bummer, there's no reason not to take advantage of what's around you. And I'm here to help you take the stress out of planning with an easy weekend vacation budget planner.
(By the way, I've got plenty of inspiration here and here and here for when you're ready to have some fun locally.)
Big bonus: traveling locally is much easier to save for!
This is not a system I use every month – sometimes we decided to save some extra money or some months we just need to throw all our money at a bill to whittle it down as fast as possible.If we're really lucky, some months we just happen to have extra money available to use.
Travel is possible, guys, it just takes a little finagling.
Ready to finagle?
Create a general spending budget for weekend tripsThe biggest part of this vacation budget planner is to create an easy benchmark amount for a weekend trip. This number should not only reasonably fit into your budget but will also be enough to actually enjoy yourself. Ready to figure out how much you need to save to have an epic weekend adventure?
My budget looks like this:
- 6% of your monthly salary
- Additional cost of 1-2 [experiences].
6% of your monthly salary
Why 6%? Well, because two days makes up about 6% of a 30-day month. While I'm sure no one spends their money equally across the days, I've found this to be a decent-enough benchmark to measure out a moderate splurge weekend. If more money is going towards savings or debt, reduce this number. Alternatively, if you've got extra fun money this month, you may want to allocate more.
That being said, I'd guess 6% is a comfortable number for most people.
Tack on extra for your favorite experiences
Love museums? Tack on the average cost of one or two museum entrance fees. Want to take a guided tour? Figure out a typical rate for your area and tack it on.
For me, it's all about food. I try to do a little bit of research about where I want to eat, choose one mid-range and one higher-range meal, and then add the average cost of a meal at both places to my budget.
How I pull money from my salaryI follow three basic steps when saving for a weekend trip:
- Take out 6% of my salary right away.
- Cut out one luxury per week.
- Aim to earn 2-3 extra hours' worth of money.
Take out 6% of my salary right away
As I've mentioned in a previous post, I have a specific savings account set aside for travel which is super handly when I've earmarked some of my salary for travel. (Occasionally this savings account has been a well-hidden envelope stuffed with money just because sometimes I like to go old school.)
Cut out one luxury per week
For me this is a pretty obvious one: food or coffee. Even on a very tight budget I usually have at least one lunch out or one coffee in the morning each week. (Let's be honest, probably more.) By cutting out one of these luxuries each week by preparing food or coffee myself, I can save around $25 each month.
Not much, but that's about 20% of my weekend trip budget for items that really aren't necessary.
Aim to earn 2-3 extra hours' worth of money
This used to be much easier for me since my previous job worked on a swipe in/swipe out system and they were always happy to have people stay later to help out. Now I'm paid for 35 hours of work regardless of how much I'm in the building or not.
Still, at nearly $15/hour, for me 2-3 hours of extra salary is about 1/3 of my weekend budget. That makes splurging on a weekend adventure sound much more feasible, right?
Ideas for those extra hours: ask for extra hours at work // sell something you don't use anymore on ebay // offer a service on Fiverr // browse local listings for odd jobs
Exploit money-saving techniques
- Follow what's cheap.
- Don't pay for accommodations.
- Take advantage of last-minute opportunities.
Follow what's cheap
Once I've chosen my destination I try to check out what's going on for free (or at a reduced cost) in order to maximize the money I've saved. You can use this list of resources to find some great free or low-cost options from all over the world.
For deals on dining or experiences, I've become pretty dedicated to trawling Groupon for deals on activities I might otherwise say no to because of cost.
Don't pay for accommodations.
Aside from travel costs, accomodation is by far the most expensive part of taking an overnight trip.
My solution? Don't pay!
Check out Couchsurfing, the site that lets you meet up with people willing to host you for free for a night or two. Not only are the people on Couchsurfing generally really friendly (who else would be willing to host complete strangers?), but they're also a treasure trove of ideas for what to do or see on your weekend trip.
Take advantage of last-minute opportunities
If you're thinking of flying somewhere, try Kayak's Last Minute Travel page for a map of flights from your airport. Expedia offers a similar service.
For hotels you can try Jetsetter for last-minute deals.
So now you've got a pretty simple weekend vacation budget planner! Now all you have to do is figure out where you want to go! Please share any great tips for saving money that you may have in the comments below!

Farming Landscapes for the Future
Farming Landscapes for the Future
Felicity Gilbert
Program Manager – Sustainable Industries
Phone: (08) 9670 3112
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
This project supported the training of Natural Resource Management Officers and farmers across the Avon NRM region in the use of the 'Farming Landscapes for the Future Tool' (FLFT), which was developed by CSIRO and AvonGro. The project identified current flaws in the FLFT and worked to refine the tool using current tree growth model calibrations.
The tool predicts the benefits and trade-offs associated with planting trees in the Avon catchment under current and future climate scenarios, an identified knowledge gap in the adoption of agroforestry.
What can the tool do?
- Compare the economics of a farming enterprise using today's climate with productivity if rainfall changes
- Compare the economics of tree crops, sheep and cropping options at the paddock scale
- Calculates Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV) of each scenario chosen
What you do:
- Select the average rainfall or the rainfall year you would like to compare
- Select the paddock soil type
- Select the land use you would like to compare – crops, sheep enterprises, tree crops

Prior to the Farming Landscapes for the Future project and the development of the tool (FLFT), there were no tools which provided planning information to encourage the adoption of agroforestry on farms in the Wheatbelt. This project updated the software to be more user friendly and developed extensive training materials to support independent learning of the tool.
Of the farmers surveyed who participated in this project, 66% were not aware of current farm planning tools for agroforestry.
The project directly improved the knowledge and skills of 135 farmers who attended the 7 regional events, where presentations were given on the FLFT. 100% of farmers who participated in the project had increased levels of awareness, knowledge and skills.
The practices that the surveyed farmers intend to adopt are:
- 66% of farmers intend to adopt Sandalwood
- 50% of farmers intend to adopt Environmental plantings
- 33% of farmers intend to adopt Oil Mallees
- 16% of farmers intend to adopt carbon plantings
- 16% of farmers intend to adopt forage shrubs
Other ways in which this project will have an impact after its completion include:
- Those farmers who have participated in the project now have a management plan to follow that will enable them to achieve the agroforestry option which they are interested in
- Farmers will continue to use the tool, through their interaction with NRM professionals, farm advisors and through their own interaction with the tool on the Wheatbelt NRM website
- Training materials developed by the project will enable others to undertake training with the software, both through facilitated programs and self-learning opportunities

|Tipical Questions
|"What are your strengths and weaknesses?"
It's easy to talk about your strengths; you're detail oriented, hard working, a team player, etc.–but it's also easy to get tripped up when discussing your weaknesses, Teach says. Never talk about a real weakness unless it's something you've defeated. "Many hiring managers are hip to the overused responses, such as, 'Well, my biggest weakness is that I work too hard so I need try to take it easy once in a while.' The best answer is to discuss a weakness that you've turned around, such as, you used to come in late to work a lot but after your supervisor explained why it was necessary for you to come in on time, you were never late again."

Making a profit with horse races – useful tips
There are many people out there who enjoy attending horse races, either for entertainment solely, or to gain some cash. If you are a horserace enthusiast yourself, you have probably attended any major race that has been organised in your proximity. Because horseracing can be quite captivating, besides being up to date with race horse forums, you have probably thought about dedicating more of your time to this activity. If you want to truly make a profit out of horse racing, these are the tips that you need to follow:
Look for professional advice
Placing bets on horse races should mean you are properly informed on the topic. Knowing which is the right moment to bet and which is not, as well as what races can bring you the most money, is not that easy. If you are still a novice in this department, do some research on racehorse blogs, and look for the advice of experts. You will find plenty of guidelines and tips that will help you out, all just by browsing the web.
Attend races without betting
Attending races just to watch, without any financial risks being involved, will help you gain a deeper race perspective. Before becoming a horse owner or taking betting more seriously, take some time to see what this activity truly implies. This aspect will help you in the long run.
Consider buying a racehorse yourself
If you have enough free time on your hands, and you are truly passionate about horses and racing, then why not buy a horse yourself? This option gives you the chance to spend more time focused on races, and it can also increase your gains. All you have to do is search online for horse options, and participate in as many races as you possibly can. If you make the right horse purchase, you can gain more money than you would expect.
Watching or betting on horse races can be an entertaining activity, and this is why it has become a hobby for many people. However, if you want to make money out of horse races, more than just the occasional wins, you will need to keep a few essential tips in mind. Take into account the guidelines mentioned above, and you can achieve your goal sooner than you would expect. Remember that being informed is key in this domain, so whenever you are on the point of making an important horse race decision, make sure to research the subject on the internet.

The abridged for online version of the TESS article here Print version is 'twice as long and not attacking GLOW as some thought' (Douglas Blane the journalist).
Additional points I'm adding here are in green.
Main points:
"Given the importance of this issue, isn't it time we had national guidelines?" asks Neil Winton, head of English at Perth Academy.
"I put the question to Fiona Hyslop (then education minister) at last year's Scottish Learning Festival. She fobbed it off as an operational matter – the responsibility of local authorities. But it's not. There should be a national policy … We have a mish-mash around the country. You can even get primary schools with access to YouTube, when the secondary school doesn't."
My points:
"Education authorities vary from highly restrictive to fairly flexible. "Our authority has one of the strictest web-filtering policies in Scotland," says David Terron, who teaches English at Elgin Academy.
"They've even blocked their own Curriculum for Excellence resources site. Many teachers try to use ICT, as recommended by HMIE, but are continually frustrated and have to go through a long process to get sites unblocked. Even then they are often refused."" (and they often give weak or downright ridiculous excuses that have no basis – 'Twitter is banned because 1,000s of companies banned it and it spreads viruses') Perhaps they should look at the bottom of the Scottish Government and Learning Teaching Scotland sites and see the wee blue bird in use by government agencies! The GTC(S) uses twitter as do many schools and educational authorities throughout the world.
"The IT tail wagging the educational dog makes the student-centred Curriculum for Excellence harder, say the teachers. How can pupils become confident individuals and successful learners if their hands have to be held whenever they go near a computer? Where is the scope for spontaneity and creativity if the teacher has to say: "Go wherever your investigations take you – but only on these three websites that we've checked."?
It's not just pupil education that is being damaged, says David Terron. Continuing professional development is also adversely affected: "We can't access sites such as the one written by Don Ledingham, director of education in East Lothian, who often posts provocative, interesting articles. In other authorities these have formed the basis of entire in service days." We have no budget so ALL of our CPD is now online or via Personal Learning Networks and Teacher Learning Communities. No access equals no CPD – I refer you to my earlier post about 5 yearly inspections for teachers. They cannot be justified if you won't let teachers have access to CPD. I expect legal challenges to be based on this simple fact.
"There is no sign of the culture clash between council IT departments and education being resolved in the latter's favour any time soon, says Neil Winton. "It comes down to a lack of trust in the professional judgment of teachers.
"IT departments are not making decisions for pedagogical reasons; they are making them on the basis of what can't get them into trouble. But teaching only what can't get anyone into trouble is no basis for a 21st-century education system."
I believe the aim of this article is to continue and push forward the debate. Let's see if it does ! Our 'leaders' (government and local authorities etc) cannot keep banging on about ICT and kids getting taught how to use the web etc safely if (a) they don't get any lnternet safety lessons in the first place and (b) they then access unsuitable sites at home because they want to know why it has been banned at school.
How are we meant to catch up with India and other Asian countries ? In China they allegedly tell their students to learn two things – English and Computing. They know the future lies with the countries that have these skills. So why do our local and national government claim that they're pushing the IT skills agenda and then promptly either not provide enough funding for even minimal training or block access to sites the kids and their teachers can use to learn?

Bryan Myerson, an investor whose 17 per cent stake in one of London's most famous stores has fallen in value from pounds 14.9m to pounds 13.7m in the past year, and Mrs Elizabeth Stewart-Liberty, who has 27 per cent, are united in opposition to Mr Cassidy's vision and expensive expansion plans. A few years ago the two were antagonists. Liberty shareholders vote on Thursday on the leadership of the 122-year-old London department store.
Although unhappy with Liberty's performance under Mr Cassidy, so far Mr Myerson has only said that he wants shareholders to vote Mr Cassidy out and to install himself, Mrs Stewart-Liberty's four step-children, and her adviser Odile Griffith, on to the board.
"They don't have specific plans for the store," said John Kiely, a spokesman for Myerson. "They want to review all options once they are on board. What they don't want to do is spend pounds 43m on the store," Mr Kiely said. Mr Cassidy wants to spend this sum to expand and refurbish the maze-like Regent Street store, parts of which have remained unaltered for decades.
The plan follows Cassidy's success in restoring Liberty to profit. He was appointed in 1995 to reverse six years of falling earnings. After a pounds 16.6m loss in 1996, Liberty returned to profit in fiscal 1997.
"Liberty is an icon of British retailing," said Robert Clark, director of consultants Corporate Intelligence on Retailing. "It needs to be modernised, but be in a way that retains the idiosyncrasies of the store."
Mr Myerson, a South African known for agitating for change at companies whose shares he owns, and his supporters say the plan will push debt to unacceptable levels and is too heavy a burden on the company, whose market capitalisation is pounds 80m. They have amassed 47 per cent of the votes ahead of Thursday's meeting and say they are not contemplating losing.
The board counters that Mr Myerson proposed a pounds 40m plan of his own in June and said it "can't understand" why he has apparently changed his mind. Finance director Andrew Garety said the board has the support of around 35 per cent of the votes including institutional shareholders and a 16 per cent block of shareholders who are members of the extended Stewart- Liberty family.
Speaking over the phone from her Buckinghamshire country home last week Mrs Stewart-Liberty, who is in her 60s, was not anxious to give her views. Asked what she thought of family members who support Mr Cassidy, she said: "I love them dearly, but you'll have to excuse me. I'm just a lady who looks after my chickens."

This is another excellent product you can find from Peaches and Screams. It is advisable to keep the pubic hair short. Having long hair in the pubic area may make it to sweat and release some unpleasant smell. Therefore, pubic hair trimmers enhance the hygiene of your reproductive areas. There are several brands of pubic hair trimmers in the market. You will find all these brands in our Peaches and Screams online store. The prices vary depending on the quality of the device.

You can use these devices to clean your anus before play in order to flush out any impurities. We have excellent anal douches and enemas products that will guarantee you a fresh and clean sex experience. Most people find this to be a very important exercise before engaging in sex. The main disadvantage of using water and soap to clean the anus before sexual intercourse is that it does not remove all the filth.

Anal lubes are other important devices for anal sex. You need to take extra precaution when dealing with anal sex in comparison to the vagina. The first thing you need to understand is that the rectal tissues and anus cannot produce enough lubricant like a vagina does. The best solution for this situation is the anal lubes. You will also come across health specialists making such a recommendation. You might cause tear in the anus area if you don't use anal tubes during sexual intercourse. Such an approach may also course several diseases. Therefore, anal lubes play a critical role of making things comfortable, smooth, easy and long lasting. Most people just grab on any water lube as they understand that it has no side effects. However, you can find a broad range of anal lubes at Peaches and Screams. Some of them include silicone and water based anal lubes such as Pjur Analyze me, Relaxing Anal Glide silicone 100 ml Bottle, Clean Stream water-based anal lubes 8oz, wet Lubes wet Uranus Anal Silicone Lube, 3.1 Ounce, relax anal lube 5%, 4.4 fluid ounce just to name a few.

Ketamine is widely-used for procedural sedation but there is limited knowledge whether ketamine use is associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).
To examine whether there is an association of ketamine use with IOP during pediatric procedural sedation.
We prospectively enrolled children without ocular abnormalities undergoing procedural sedation that included ketamine for non-periorbital injuries. We measured IOP for each eye before and at 1,3,5,15, and 30 minutes after initial IV ketamine administration. We performed Bland-Altman plots (BAP) to determine if IOP measurements in both eyes were in agreement. Linear regression was used to model the mean IOP of both eyes as a function of time, dose, gender, and age, with a robust sandwich estimator to account for repeated measures.
Among 25 participants, median [IQR] age was 11 [9,12] years and 18 (72%) were male. Median ketamine dose was 1.88mg/kg (IQR 1.43, 2.03, range 0.96, 4). BAP demonstrated a mean difference of IOP between eyes near zero at all time points. The largest predicted difference from baseline IOP occurred at 15 minutes with an estimated change of 1.09 mm Hg (95% CI: −0.37,2.55). The association between ketamine dose and mean IOP was not statistically significant or clinically meaningful [p= 0.90, estimated slope 0.119 (95% CI −1.71, 1.95)]. There were no clinically meaningful levels of measured average IOP reached at any time point.
At dosages ≤ 4 mg/kg, there are not clinically meaningful associations of ketamine with elevation of IOP.
Children frequently present to the emergency department with fractures, lacerations, or other injuries that require evaluation and interventions that are both painful and frightening. Since its introduction in the late 1960s, ketamine has become a widely-used and effective agent for pediatric procedural sedation because it provides amnesia, analgesia, anxiolysis, and sedation without respiratory depression or hypotension. Based on reports in the literature from the 1960s-1970s, there has been concern that ketamine may elevate intraocular presssure (IOP). These reports had several limitations and reached conflicting conclusions whether there is an association of ketamine use with increased IOP. However, it has become a widely-accepted practice to avoid using ketamine for procedural sedation of all patients with suspected eye injuries. Because of this concern, emergency medicine providers frequently choose other agents for sedation that may expose patients to other adverse effects (e.g., myocardial and respiratory depression).
Normal intraocular pressure is approximately 15 – 20 mmHg based on population studies (1) (Stamper and Tanaka). The largest study used a Schiøtz tonometer and found a mean intraocular pressure of 15.5 mmHg (SD 2.57 mmHg), although the normal limits of diurnal variations were 5 to 25 mm Hg (2) (Leydhecker). Studies using the criterion-standard Goldmann applanation tonometer have found similar values and a right-skewed distribution (Davanger)(3). Studies comparing the Tonopen with the Goldmann applanation tonometer have revealed a correlation between the two methods (Minckler, Stamper et al, Christoffersen et al). Although there is excellent agreement regarding the normal range for mean intraocular pressure, determining the lower and particularly the upper limits of 'normal' is much more difficult as the distribution tends to be right-skewed. Less than 1% of the normal population is considered abnormal if 2.5 standard deviations above the mean is designated as as the upper limit of normal (about 24 mmHg). Ocular hypertension, which we take as a our definition of clinical meaningful elevation of IOP, has been most commonly defined as sustained elevation in IOP at or above 22mmHg (Kim et al, Henderson et al, Tavares et al)
The initial work on ketamine and its effects on intraocular pressure was done by Corssen and Hoy in 1967 and described an increase of intraocular pressure, but had several limitations. The study looked at patients of different ages undergoing general anesthesia for surgical operations of various kinds. Their data included fifteen pediatric cases, several of whom had incomplete data. The premedications used in the study were not standardized and included agents not generally used in the PED for this purpose (e.g., barbiturates). The investigators studied the the patients for three minutes after drug administration, a time point which alone is not appropriate for the pharmacokinetics of this drug (Evers). In almost half of the subjects the measurements either did not change or decreased in one or both eyes. A lesser proportion of IOP elevation was noted in pediatric cases, and these subjects yielded a pooled mean increase of less than 3mmHg from control readings. Further, pressure readings (done by Schiøtz tonometer) varied considerably between eyes, within subjects, and between subjects.
Yoshikawa and Murai assessed 15 children for a thirty minute period and reported a peak increase from baseline IOP at 15 minutes of 37% , but used no premedication and a ketamine dose greater than is customary (5mg/kg IM). Other limitations of this study were that recordings were done during various types of ophthalmalogic surgery. Although some descriptive data were reported, there was no mention of statistical tests of inference used. In 1973, Aileen Adams reported increased IOP measurement with general halothane induction followed by ketamine administration in 15 children. However, the ketamine dose was again greater than generally used (10mg/kg IM), and 9 of the children already had known glaucoma changes. The mean IOP increased from 11 to 15.5mmHg at 3-5 minutes and in no child did the pressure rise or stay above the normal upper limit of 22mmHg within the 8 minute measurement window.
In contrast, Peuler and Glass conducted a study of 20 adult patients and concluded that ketamine in clinically-used doses, administered to a premedicated patient, had no significant effect on IOP. Ausinsch and Rayburn studied 10 children and found no effects of ketamine on IOP despite IM doses of 8mg/kg. An 1977 animal study of rabbits receiving large doses of ketamine (10mg/kg IM and also 50mg/kg in conjuction with pentobarbitol) reported increases in IOP (Schutten 1977). More recently, three more human-subject studies (Badrinath 1986 Cugini 1997 Frey 1999) showed decreases in IOP following ketamine administration, but were limited by potential confounders involving endotracheal intubation of patients, relatively low doses of ketamine given, short duration of IOP monitoring, and procedures involving the orbit with retrobulbar nerve blocks. A more recent study looking at IOP effects of different doses of ketamine in children reported a 2mmHg increase in IOP 5 minutes after receiving 6 mg/kg of ketamine IM and no change in children receiving 3mg/kg ketamine IM. However, the study did not include repeated measures analysis and included patients undergoing general anesthesia for ophthalmologic surgery. In addition, no patient's IOP exceeded 20 mmHg (Nagdeve 2006).
Overall, a review of literature in both pediatric and emergency medicine journals indicates conflicting descriptions of the effect ketamine on IOP. Our objective was to examine the association of ketamine with IOP in children with healthy eyes undergoing procedural sedation for non-periorbital injuries.
We enrolled a prospective convenience sample of patients who were to undergo procedural sedation that included ketamine for non-periorbital injuries in our pediatric emergency department. Eligible patients were 7 to 17 years of age, and exclusion criteria were ASA class 3 or 4, prior eye surgery, ocular abnormality, or periorbital injury. Two investigators were trained to use a Tono-pen® XL applanation tonometer (Medtronic Solan, Jacksonville, USA) by an ophthalmologist prior to study initiation. Following proparacaine anesthetic eye drops, IOP was measured for each eye using a Tonopen and the average value for both eyes was calculated before and at 1,3,5,15, and 30 minutes after the first dose of IV ketamine. We recorded total doses of ketamine and other medications administered.
We performed Bland-Altman plots (BAP) to assess whether measurements of IOP in both eyes were in agreement. Histograms of the mean IOP by time point indicated that the normality assumptions of linear regression were satisfied. A linear regression model was used to assess the time trend of mean IOP, adjusting for dose, age and gender. This model incorporated a linear spline function on time to allow a non-linear relationship between time and mean IOP. The covariance variance matrix of the model was adjusted by Huber's robust sandwich estimator to account for correlated observations. All analyses were performed by the statistical software R 2.10.0.
This study protocol (#031054) was reviewed and approved by the Vanderbilt University Human Protection Program. Study data were collected and managed using REDCap electronic data capture tools hosted at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (citation).
Among 25 enrolled participants, median[IQR] age was 11 [9, 12] years and 18 (72%) were male. Median ketamine dose administered was 1.88 mg/kg [1.43, 2.03] with a range of 0.96 to 4 mg/kg. Other medications given at the beginning of the procedural sedation included glycopyrrolate, midazolam, and ondansetron. Procedural sedation was provided for fracture reduction, abscess incision and drainage, laceration repair, foreign body removal, and hip arthrocentesis. Subject characteristics are presented in Table 1.
BAP demonstrated a high level of agreement of IOP measurement performed in each eye at all time points. After adjusting for age, gender, and dose, there were no statistically significant or clinically meaningful changes of predicted mean IOP between baseline and any of the time points in our sample (p=0.15, Table 2). All 95% confidence intervals for predicted mean change from baseline IOP crossed zero. The largest predicted difference from baseline IOP occurred at 15 minutes with an estimated change of 1.09 mm Hg (95% CI: −0.37, 2.55). In addition, the association between ketamine dose and mean IOP was not statistically significant or clinically meaningful, with an estimated slope of 0.119 (95% CI: −1.714, 1.951, p=0.90) which, in clinical terms, means a greatest plausible 1.951 mmHg change in IOP for every 1 mg/kg unit increase in ketamine dose.
There were no clinically meaningful levels (≥22mmHg) of measured average IOP reached at any time point. (Figure 1). Three of the 25 patients had an isolated elevation of IOP ≥ 22mHg at a single time point. One of these three patients was redosed with ketamine with a subsequent decrease in IOP and the other two patients were given single-dose ketamine. One of the 25 patients had elevation of IOP ≥ 22mmHg at two consecutive time points.
The results of this investigation suggest that at dosages ≤ 4 mg/kg, there are not clinically meaningful associations of ketamine with IOP. The known pharmacokinetics of ketamine are such that associated change of IOP would be unlikely after this interval (Evers). The absence of a clinically meaningful dose-response relationship in this sample between ketamine and IOP further suggests that ketamine use is not associated with elevation in IOP.
These findings question the widely-held concern that ketamine increases intraocular pressure, a concern that appears to be informed by limited evidence. Only one of 25 subjects had a clinically meaningful elevation of IOP during the study period, as defined by an IOP ≥ 22mmHg at two consecutive measurements. It was noted that this patient had a baseline average IOP of 18mmHg, was given single initial dose ketamine 1.5mg/kg for closed reduction of a distal radius fracture, and reached an IOP of 23 and 25mmHg at five and fifteen minutes, respectively. Five subjects had sustained decreases of average IOP at all time points during the 30 minute study period, and three other subjects had decreases of average IOP at four of the five time points. In addition, we observed that in eight of the eleven patients who needed additional doses of ketamine mean IOP decreased at the next IOP measurement. We believe this was a result of ketamine treatment alleviating pain, agitation and anxiety, and does not support the concern that ketamine elevates IOP.
Our study has limitations. Sedation was performed for a variety of procedures, and a cohort undergoing a single type of procedure may eliminate the type of procedure as a potential confounding variable. Also, the study investigator did not participate in decisions for medication administration, and the clinical team determined whether to give glycopyrrolate and/or midazolam during the procedural sedation, as well as other other analgesic medications which, when given, were given prior to the procedural sedation either by EMS providers and/or the clinical team. These ancillary medications may have had independent associations with IOP that are not fully adjusted for in our analyses. However, one could argue that providing anxiolysis and analgesia prior to the procedural sedation would, if anything, work to prevent artificial elevation of IOP due to agitation and pain.
In summary, at dosages ≤ 4 mg/kg, there are not clinically meaningful associations of ketamine with IOP. Further study is warranted to determine if ketamine can be used safely for procedural sedation when elevated IOP or globe injury is a concern.

Evaluating APSIM Maize, Soil Water, Soil Nitrogen, Manure, and Soil Temperature Modules in the Midwestern United States
- Sotirios V. Archontoulis *,
- Fernando E. Miguez and
- Kenneth J. Moore
The Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) is a cropping systems modeling platform that is used worldwide to address research questions related to agricultural systems. We explored whether APSIM performs well in the Midwest, so that the associated model capabilities would be available for application in this region. Our approach included calibration and testing of several APSIM models (maize [Zea mays L.], soil water, soil N, surface organic matter, manure, and soil temperature) and evaluation of model predictions against independent datasets. During calibration we developed local crop and soil parameters so that the model captured sufficiently well dynamics of soil water (root mean square error, RMSE = 0.032 mm mm–1), soil temperature (RMSE = 2.1°C), soil inorganic N dynamics (RMSE = 12.6 kg N ha–1), contrasting soil net N mineralization patterns under fresh and composted swine manure applications (RMSE = 13.6 kg N ha–1), crop phenology (RMSE = 1.52 d), leaf area index (RMSE = 0.60 m2 m–2), leaf N concentration (RMSE = 0.28 kg 100 kg–1), canopy N uptake (RMSE = 9.0 kg N ha–1), biomass production (RMSE = 0.77 Mg ha–1) and grain yield (RMSE = 0.53 Mg ha–1). The calibration protocol followed in this study is discussed in detail. The calibrated model was evaluated against independent data on grain yield (RMSE = 0.65 Mg ha–1), biomass production (RMSE = 1.1 Mg ha–1) and LAI (RMSE = 1.14 m2 m–2), showing very acceptable performance, especially in addressing yield-N relationships. Therefore APSIM proves to be a reliable model that can be used as a research and decision tool to enhance Midwestern production systems.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .
Punctual, Professional and good value, will use HEating again and recommend rated people for finding quality tradespeople.
Very impressed with work - finally I got someone who was able to diagnose & fix long-standing problem with overflow. Would definitely recommend!!

Energy conservation is an important consideration today in a world where the competition for energy sources is intensified by rising demand. But making best use of fuel isn't new, and the Vulcanaire Supertherm was Vulcan's contribution to energy savings.
The Supertherm was developed in conjunction with Horn Construction in Merrick, NY, and first demonstrated in late 1964. The Supertherm was simple in concept. As described in the unit's field service manual (which has more information on the unit:)
The objective for the contractor was to use a smaller compressor to power the same size of pile hammer.
Below: Vulcanaire Supertherm mounted on top of a LeRoi 1200 CFM compressor at the time of its original demonstration.
The production of the unit was performed at the Special Products Division in West Palm Beach, as the Chattanooga facility lacked the fabrication capabilities necessary to produce the unit.
Below: a Supertherm (yellow) being installed on top of a Gardner-Denver compressor in the mid-1970's.
Although the unit worked as intended and performed well, the simple concept didn't translate into a simple design. With numerous parts and complex fabrication and assembly, the unit was uneconomical to produce and difficult to install. Air compressor manufacturers learned how to use hot exhaust gases in other ways to improve the energy efficiency of their products.
By the late 1970's, even with the elevated energy prices of the era, production of the Vulcanaire Supertherm had gone cold.

Asure's stock price surges following another acquisition
Asure Software Inc.'s stock price surged more than 20 percent Thursday on news that it was acquiring a Massachusetts-based company, its third acquisition in 10 months.
Asure (Nasdaq: ASUR), which disclosed plans to buy Massachusetts-based PeopleCube Inc., was selling at nearly $6 per share Thursday morning versus $4.20 per share on Tuesday. The price fell to $4.99 by Thursday afternoon.
Asure, which develops workforce management software, bought PeopleCube for $9.8 million in cash, 255,000 shares of common stock and a $3 million, two-year seller's note, company executives said.
Asure, which was founded as Forgent Networks Inc. in 1985, changed its name in late 2009 and now employs 78 workers.
Asure Software acquired two companies last year.
In December 2011, the company bought for $4 million Austin-based Legiant Inc. In October 2011, it acquired Rhode Island-based ADI Time LLC for $7 million.
In May, Asure Software reported an $847,000 net loss on $4.2 million in revenue during the first quarter compared to a $60,000 net loss on $2.4 million in revenue during the same three months last year.
