*Background; this semester, I'm teaching composition classes at Local U. and Not-Local Community College. I'm also teaching a teacher intern seminar and fitness classes at two different places, so I'm effectively working five part-time jobs. I'm so frazzled, I often have no idea how I make it to the end of the week. That being said, I'm more than a little surprised by how well things are going in general, and I'm not sure what to make of that…**
So, this happened;
The other day, instead of reflecting on a quote, I had my Local U. composition students write me a brief note about how the writing of their first paper is going. I asked them a bunch of questions to spark their thinking, ending with "is there anything specific – a grammar question or an issue with organization or comprehension of the source materials – that you'd like me to go over with you?" That was the question upon which I based our post-writing discussion.
With the exception of a couple of kids who just finished an associate's program within the University, every single one of my students in that class is a fresh-out-of-high-school freshman; that's important to know. The very first kid to volunteer to speak asked about MLA formatting and how much of it they were supposed to do for this paper.
"None of it," was my answer, and 22 pairs of eyebrows shot toward the ceiling.
"Look," I said, "you're working with two sources; MLK's Letter from a Birmingham Jail and President Obama's A More Perfect Union speech. As long as you identify them in your introduction and are clear about which source you're quoting from in your body paragraphs, you're fine. MLA citations in this rhetorical situation would be unnecessary and distracting."
It was at this point that another girl chimed in with, "can I just say that you're NOTHING like what my high school English teachers said you'd be like?"
If the preponderance of nodding heads is any indication, her answer to my query about what she was expecting was affirmed by nearly everyone in the class; they were pretty much universally told that they would have to hit the ground running with a full and competent knowledge of citation, structure and process, and academic vocabulary, and that anything less than skillful and consistent display of these qualities would have them shamed and ostracized in their classes. From the sounds of it, fully half – maybe more – expected to fail out of college within the first few weeks.
It was at this point that I stopped them – literally held up my hands in the "whoa, Nellie!" position – and asked them what, exactly, they were doing here. "WHY are you here, You Guys? What is the POINT of your being in this class?"
Genius boy in the corner pipes up with a hesitant "to learn stuff?" (reminding me that I should probably show them Taylor Mali's "Like, Um, You Know?" poem).
"YES!" I bellowed, making a couple of them literally jump in their seats. "If the POINT of your being here is to LEARN STUFF, then why the HELL would I expect you to KNOW any of it ALREADY?! What would be the POINT of this class if you already KNEW everything I came here to TEACH you?! Can you IMAGINE how BORING that class would be? Seriously; I'd want to gouge my own eyeballs out by the third class! GAH!"
One of the things I've observed in my teaching practice over the last year or two has been the fact that students would rather sit in silence, confused – and frustrated by their confusion – than speak up and admit they don't know something. I can't tell you how many times I read an article aloud to my classes and stopped after a particularly challenging concept or a $5 vocabulary word to check comprehension, only to have them assure me that they "get it" but not be able to explain it to me when I asked them to prove it. At some point, the system the way we practice it beat out of these students the kind of curiosity that encourages questions. It discouraged them from admitting that they don't know something, which is devastatingly ironic given that the one place we should ALWAYS be able to admit we don't know something is in a goddamned CLASSROOM.
So, now I'm on a mission. I am crusading to get kids to start 'fessing up when they don't understand something, to ask for help if they need it, and to not let teachers get away with assuming that someone ELSE taught them what they need to know to do well in class. I'm done with that shit. I am a teacher; my job is to help people learn, not assume that they should already know everything.

Lust List: Sparkly, GORGEOUS Druzy Gold Jewelry by Alexandra Beth
Seriously, we want everything in this collection of druzy gold gorgeousness.
-April Daniels Hussar
Alexandra Beth's Gorgeous Druzy Jewelry — On Sale at BettyConfidential Shop!
SWOON! and … "WE WANTS IT!" … that's exactly what went through my mind when I first eyed Alexandra Beth's lust-worthy jewelry at a recent press preview. J'adore all of her designs, but what particularly transformed me from a reasonable editor into a slathering Gollum (MY PRECIOUS!) were the sparkly, shiny, chunky BEEYOOOTIFUL Druzy Gold pieces.
What is this "druzy"? you ask? WHY, IT IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD! (And it's ALL MINE! MINE! … Oh, sorry… hahaha just kidding!) (Not really.)
The Druzy Gold Wrap Bracelet (enlarged for sparkly detail!)
Druzy is actually a kind of uber-sparkly quartz, and Alexandra Beth uses it to create some of the prettiest, most chic jewelry out there, which, yes, you can buy now at a great deal on BettyConfidential Shop. You're welcome.
The cool thing is that each stone is unique, so yours will be one-of-a-kind.
Amethyst Heart Druzy Gold Necklace
Alexandra got bitten by the jewelry-making bug when she came home to a first-day-of-elementrary-school gift of some purple beads as a little girl. "More than a dozen years later, as a college graduate, I can still be found surrounded by beads, gemstones and findings, threading my passion through a myriad of designs that have sold in more than twenty retail boutiques!" she says. (Thank you, childhood gift giver!)
Each piece of Alexandra Beth jewelry is personally designed and handcrafted, and let me say, this girl has an eye.
Check out her gorgeous pieces on BettyConfidential Shop… (just don't leave your pieces lying around if I'm in the vicinity! My Precious!!)

Crystal Harris
Setting the stage for a memorable night, Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris got married in an intimate ceremony at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles on Monday (December 31).
The 26-year-old "Playboy" Playmate left the 86-year-old adult entertainment mogul in June of 2011 just as they were set to wed in a lavish ceremony.
Proudly boasting about her new bling, Crystal Harris has posted photos of her engagement ring from Hugh Hefner (December 10).
On Monday she tweeted, "My beautiful ring from @hughhefner" with three different shots of the massive diamond.
Second time's the charm? Well, let's hope so, for Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris' sake that it is!
It looks like the Playboy founder and his 26-year-old girlfriend are getting ready to walk down the aisle…again.
They had a sudden, ill-feelings inciting split one year back, but Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris have put the ugliness in the past - as the two have rekindled their romance.
After having left the men's magazine mogul three days before they were to exchange vows in June 2011, the blonde beauty has now tweeted that she has officially moved back into the Playboy mansion.
Although her love life didn't go as planned, Crystal Harris' financial situation is about to get better.
Hugh Hefner's former fiance is putting her estimated $90,000 engagement ring on the auction block at Christie's in New York City.
Tending to the day's errands, Kendra Wilkinson was spotted out and about with her son Hank Jr. and a friend in Hollywood, California yesterday afternoon (August 4).
The reality star showed off her svelte physique in a body-hugging maxi dress, while little Hank looked like a mini-athlete in a red and black jersey outfit and Nike running shoes.
She dropped jaws all across the nation by telling Howard Stern that her sex with Hugh Hefner lasted "like two seconds," and now Crystal Harris is feeling remorseful.
The Playboy Playmate took to her Twitter page to atone for her slanderous sins against her aging ex-fiance.
She famously called off her wedding to Hugh Hefner just days before the event was to occur, and Crystal Harris is telling all about her ex-fiance.
The Playboy Playmate dropped by Howard Stern's radio show today (July 26) and fielded questions from the foul-mouthed host.
Having moved on since leaving Hugh Hefner just days before their planned wedding, Crystal Harris was in fine form as she tended to hostess duties in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday night (July 8).
The Playboy beauty worked the arrivals area at Pure Nightclub inside Caesars Palace Resort and Casino, with the blonde beauty clad in a little black dress from CLD Style House.
Stepping out for night of fun with her beau, Jayde Nicole hit up Radio Shack's HTC EVO 3D Launch Party at the RadioShack Pop-Up 3D Lounge in West Hollywood, California last night (June 23).
The Playboy playmate, who affectionately held on to her good-looking man (Tosh Berman) through most of the night, looked white-hot in a curve-hugging mini-dress and gold platform heels.

The Council will be discussing the future of the Bridgeway Public Pier on Tuesday, October 22 - We'd like to know what you think!
Discussion on the Future of the Pier
Earlier this year, the City received a $160,000 grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to repair the public pier near the Trident Restaurant. The grant was part of the Cosco-Busan oil spill settlement. A condition of the grant is that the construction be completed by the end of January, 2014. Once the grant was received, the City hired a design firm to draw up plans to make the pier accessible once again. On October 16, the Planning Commission directed staff to return at the October 30 Planning Commission meeting with a resolution deny the request by the City to rehabilitate the fishing pier.
The City Council will discuss next steps this Tuesday, October 22. Options for the Council to consider include:
To have your viewpoint heard, please join us at the City Council meeting this Tuesday, October 22. The meeting begins at 7pm. The item is 6B: see the staff report and agenda here.

More Detailed Information
Pier History: The City is engaged in a process to rehabilitate a damaged public pier near the Trident Restaurant to restore public access and fishing opportunities. The pier has been a part of the City as early as 1933 and has been historically used as a fishing pier. The exact date of when the pier was installed is not known, although historical photographs indicate that the pier was built somewhere between 1933 and 1936. The pier was closed to public access in 2001 due to damage caused by the storm of January 11, 2001. Currently, the only remnants of the pier which remain are twenty-one pilings and the pier framing. The pier is in need of major rehabilitation.
Funding Source for Rehabilitation: The City has received a grant to rebuild the pier. As a part of a 2011 settlement with the owner and operating companies of the Cosco Busan cargo ship (which after colliding with the Bay Bridge dumped bunker fuel into the bay in 2007), grant monies were made available for certain projects and the City received a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to repair the public pier. On July 9, 2013 the City Council accepted the Cosco-Busan settlement grant funding for and initiating project design for the rehabilitation of the pier. A condition of the grant is that the construction be completed by the end of January 2014.
Approval Process: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on October 16 to review a request by the City for approval to rehabilitate the fishing pier for use as a public access point and for shore-based recreational fishing. The project consists of replacing decking and railing and the extension of pilings in the same location as the existing pier. The existing height of the decking would be raised by 3-1/2 feet to comply with the Sausalito Municipal code for non-residential structures in coastal high hazard areas. There would also be the installation of an accessible ramp and staircase. The existing pathway which leads from the existing wooden deck to the shoreline walkway paralleling Bridgeway would be replaced with an accessible ramp. Story poles were installed on October 2, 2013 which depict the width, length and height of the new pier. Note that the story poles show the tops of the new railings. A rendering of the pier has also been posted at the project site to help visual the project. The Planning Commission voted 5:0 to have staff return at the October 30 Planning Commission meeting to deny the request. See the Planning Commission staff report and video from the meeting here (item 2).

BONITA SPRINGS, FL -- The former Society for Foodservice Management (Louisville, KY) now officially is the Society for Hospitality and Foodservice Management. The strategic "brand enhancement" was celebrated at the association's 2013 national conference here on Oct. 1. The association will operate under its new name and logotype, effective immediately.
According to SHFM's leaders, the name change reflects the evolving responsibilities of the association's key member segment, "client liaisons and self-operators in corporate foodservice." While foodservice responsibilities remain central to those positions, they have expanded to encompass a number of hospitality-related functions such as vending, conference and event support, fitness centers, health and wellness and childcare -- areas more broadly covered under the "workplace hospitality" segment. SHFM thus is positioned to be the preeminent resource for career development and industry insight in this growing segment.
"Today marks a historic moment for our Society," said SHFM executive director Tony Butler. "This was the critical moment to shift with the growing needs of our industry. SHFM will honor the legacy of SFM while reflecting the importance of being flexible and responsive, the key ingredients of growth."
SFM president Mark Freeman, senior manager of global employee services for Microsoft Corp. (Redmond, WA) added, "Our influence is expanding into new markets and member segments. It's an exciting new era of growth for the Society."
The association's new Web address is shfm-online.org.

Welcome Rosi
Professional MMA Referee www.mmaofficials.co.uk
Rosi knows what she is doing! I suffering with a really painful recurring injury in my back and she sorted it in about 30 minutes and I have never had a problem with it since!
My hip is killing me. I think it may be a lower-back injury/sciatica (the doctor said she thinks I have injured my back and that's what's causing the pain down the back of my leg). The symptoms sound about right. My right foot is numb and I have a pain shooting down my right leg. I've been given some exercises to do to 'strengthen my core' but if anything it has made it worse over the course of a couple of weeks. I feel like exercises to 'strengthen my core' may be a bit of a farce, seeing as I was training bjj 3 times a week, cycling 30+ miles a week, running, climbing and doing yoga before the pain.
From what I have looked up, it sounds like a disc injury. Problem is doctors tend to treat each patient as though their lifestyles don't depend on a heavy amount of physical activity.
Apart from bugging the doctors until they shell out for a scan/some actual tests, is there anything you'd suggest to aid in my recovery? I feel pretty good exercising with good posture, I think I could manage a reasonable weights routine. It's simple things like getting comfortable in bed/getting out of chairs etc that's when the pain hits.
When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.
Atlasmma - although it's impossible to say for sure without seeing you myself, it sounds like your understanding of the situation is quite good.
The problem with "core strength" work is that it's largely become a meaningless buzzword in the fitness industry. There is such a thing as good core strength training, but there's no guarantee that everything labelled as such is either effective, or suitable for your particular problem. However, it's worth noting that even otherwise very fit and strong athletes can have relative weaknesses or muscle imbalances that can leave them more vulnerable to certain kinds of back problem.
Here's a collection of stuff I've already written that may or may not be helpful:
Lower back pain, part 1
Lower back pain, part 2
Sitting: reducing the strain on your back
Hip hinging
I also recommend Stuart McGill's work on core strength - his books "Low back disorders" and "ultimate back performance" are well worth taking a look if you're interested in the details of what's going on.
Scans and tests are unlikely to be particularly helpful at this stage. Generally, there's no point getting one, unless it's going to change the course of treatment. But by the sounds of things, the diagnosis is most likely correct (again, as far as I can tell without seeing you myself). If you were at a point where surgery was being considered, then it might be worthwhile, but from what you have described, that's probably not the case at the moment.
The good news is that while disc injuries can be incredibly painful, and sometimes take a considerable time to settle down, most will eventually get better by themselves without needing surgery.
Most of all, though, I'd recommend finding a good practitioner by recommendation (such as a good osteopath or private physiotherapist) who can discuss your individual case with you. If you let me know where in the country you are based, I may be able to suggest someone who could help.
All the best, and good luck!

Fighting out of Next Generation
Thanks Rosi, that's great! I read your blog on my lunch break today and it definitely made me think about what I put my back through on a daily basis (I'm either sat in an office or sat in a car for work).
I'm based in Bristol, so if you know anyone near by it'd be great!

Hi Rosi - don't want to start another thread :
Can you recommend a good physio in the Leeds area? Knee aches mildly on an off and has done for the last year and a half. Probably should get it sorted before something catastrophic happens!
Thanks in advance

Did you know?
The endangered cheetah is the only member of its genus - all others have become extinct.
Wildlife volunteer projects cover a range of experiences working with wild animals either in their natural habitat or in captivity. While there are numerous wildlife voluntourism programmes available in the country, volunteers are strongly advised to work through accredited operators in order to be placed in legitimate projects.
Wildlife conservation is a major focus of these volunteer programmes and often includes the opportunity to assist in the research of endangered species. One such programme is the Endangered Wildlife Monitoring project from operator Aviva.
This programme in northern KwaZulu-Natal actively works to save threatened species by implementing and managing wildlife monitoring projects around cheetahs, wild dogs, black rhinos and vultures. Volunteers get involved in the tracking and locating of these animals, GPS mapping of sightings, animal behavioural research, game counts, and the creation and updating of animal identikits.
There are also opportunities to help with the radio collaring of animals, bird ringing, vulture counts and nest surveys, and the relocation and re-introduction of game.
In a similar vein, you can work exclusively in cheetah conservation at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, in Limpopo. This acclaimed programme comprises caring for the cheetahs (cleaning, feeding and assisting/ observing veterinary activities), attending lectures on all major conservation aspects. The perks include a visit to the nearby Kruger National Park and an elephant-back safari at Camp Jabulani.
Wildlife volunteer projects also include working with orphaned animals at rehabilitation sanctuaries across the country. All Africa Volunteers offers a programme along these lines, assisting the Animal Rehabilitation Centre in the Eastern Cape with feeding and caring for abandoned and injured wild animals.
If you want to work with primates, consider the Vervet Monkey Foundation in Tzaneen (Limpopo) or the equally respected Primate Care (C.A.R.E Animal Sanctuary) in Phalaborwa, which does excellent work rehabilitating injured and orphaned baboons.
You may want or need a broad-based experience of conservation work, in which case several private game reserves, including Samara, run volunteer programmes that expose you to a number of wildlife experiences. These might include monitoring cheetahs and vervets, fighting erosion and being part of game capture experiences.

Upper: Leather; Lining: Cotton
This information is shown as a guide only and not a guarantee.Actual fitting may vary.
Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
I bought these for rehersals ect. The first hour of me using them They lost color in the sides of my feet. Also the bottoms go flat EXTREAMLY fast. By the end of the week, i had holes in them everywhere. I was forced to have these for competition season and everyone learned what i was talking about. Both colors fade and never again will i get them
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
The shoes are great and fit perfectly. But the tongue does cover a little too much of the front part of the foot. But it is manageable. But other than that the shoe is great and I love the padding for the ball of your foot which makes it more comfortable for you to land on and do pirouettes. I'm a very hard dancer so if you are to you will love this shoe. I have gotten expensive shoes before and they don't fit like these. These are the better choice.
At first when i got this i was afraid that it wasn't as comfy but when i tried it on it felt a little weird. the top flap was in my skin and the design felt weird so i wore it for an hour and they instantly felt like HEAVEN. Thank God for the price. the inside is a very light fabric but i didnt mind that much. the bottom of the shoe is a hard scaly type. the color of tan is not very white but i didnt mind. and the shoe is split sole. the shoe doesnt tweak my turning. my only problem is when it scratches but that is regular for every dance shoe. you can clean these with a wet mr. clean magic eraser. you should definitely buy these before thinking about buying more expensive ones.
A friend told me these are just as good as the more expensive brand. Ordered same size I get in the expensive brand. Way too small. I am now ordering 2 sizes bigger then her street size. Lets see what happens.
This was recommended to me by a discount dance rep on phone. I really appreciated her help, however as it turns out this jazz shoe is not gonna work. The style is odd. The leather material that stretches across the top of shoe is very wide & covered way to much of the foot. Please make sure to not mistake this shoe for the typical Bloch slip on side stretch jazz shoe! This one will be returned today! Just make sure you order carefully. That being said we love the company & will continue to do business as always.
Age: 30-39
I ordered my daughter the same size as her street shoe and they fit perfect. She has several pairs of jazz shoes that she has purchased locally and ordered from here so the school team would all have the same ones. Reasonable price.
I bought some last year and they lasted a year and are still in good condition, but my daughter's foot has grown. I have ordered a 5.5 M for my daughter who uses a size 5 women's shoe. This is was too small. I ordered a 6.5 M and this fits her just barelly so I returned it to get a half size bigger to give her room to grow into them this year. These shoes are good quality and do last but the sizing is confusing sometimes.
Age: 22-29
My child hasn't been able to use the shoes - as they run extremely small. As soon as we took them out of the box we knew they wouldn't fit. We ordered the same size she typically wears in street shoes and she could barely squeeze her foot in. Disappointing.
Just got it in and tried it on. I always order a half size up for all my dance shoes but it was extra large and very wide. The way the flap goes up on the top would hit my ankle and would be irritating if not painful when dancing. But everyone's feet are different. If you have small petite feet like me I suggest you just pay the amount for Bloch of Capezio
I read previous reviews of the product saying that the sizing was true to what size you wear in street shoes. I ordered this product because it was a great deal and I had a performance coming up. The shoes arrived the day before my performance and I was very disappointed with the result. I will be returning them because they are far too large and beyond that they were not comfortable at all.
Ordered these shoes for my granddaughter and very pleased. Nice shoe and reasonably priced.
I have had these shoes for over a year and they are lasting great. My only complaint is that they are a little tight.
Age: 15-18
I really like these shoes! I was looking for cheaper jazz shoes and found these. I wasn't so sure about it but when I tried them out, they were pretty good. The leather at the bottom kinda gets dirt easily so be aware of that if you are going to be purchasing these.
I got these shoes for dance this season. I really love them. My previous shoes, different brand, were very uncomfortable. They had a hard insert in the heel of the shoe and I got sores from wearing them. These shoes are very comfy but they seem to run half a size too big. Not a big issue, I'll have growing room.
I bought these jazz shoes for a summer intensive, noticing they were super cheap, so I bought them. When I tried them on, they fit perfectly!!! They hug your arch very well and create a beautiful line. On top of that, they are super comfortable and are an amazing deal!!!
I can't believe the fit , low price and quality of this shoe. I love all of the theatricle products they are fabulous. And as always the customer service at discount dance supply is excellent. I wish they sold everything.
my foot is a true medium (with a slighty high arch); I bought my street shoe size and it is perfect. The tan color is beautiful it's the same shade as my skin. my previous pair by another maker has laces, but now that I compare with the slip on version, this is better. I had them sent to me with the economy shipping option, and still got them in 2 days.
Age: 40-49
Got these for my daughter as a last minute costume change for her dance recital. Have gotten no complaints about the shoes so the shoes must be a winner. What a relief!
Our return policy allows to you make any returns or exchanges within 30 days, as long as the item(s) are in resalable condition.- DDS Customer Service (11/14/2013)
You can return them, but you will have to pay for your own shipping and also you will have to ship back in a cardboard box (even though they ship in a bag) Also if you want an exchange they charge $5.95. Another thing to keep in mind is that you want to try them on with a clean foot because if it is dirty or damaged they will not refund or exchange. - Satisfied (11/15/2013)
Sign in before answering this dancer's questions.
Was this Q & A helpful to you? YES (
I don't know what street size means and I don't know what size jazz shoe to get. Is there a size chart some where because i don't want to get the wrong size shoe!
This item states to order the same as your street shoe size. So you would order what you normally get in a tennis shoe.
This information is shown as a guide only and not a guarantee. Actual fitting may vary.- DDS Customer Service (09/27/2013)
Your best bet is to get 2 sizes bigger. For example for my daughter, she is a size 5 in women's sizes for tennis shoes, so I had to purchase a size 7. - Satisfied (11/15/2013)
Because this shoe is not available in a child or youth size 3.0, you must convert the child to adult sizes. To do this, you go up two sizes. So, a child or youth size 3.0 is the same as an adult size 5.0. You would want to order this size as this shoe runs true to street shoe size.- DDS Customer Service (08/05/2013)
Probably size 4.5-5. I wear size 3.5 kids and 5 fits me. You could also look at this shoe in child sizes, which I believe is an option. - Ddancer (08/05/2013)
I am size 6 UK
You would need to order your US shoe size. Typically a UK size 6 is a US womens size 8.0.- DDS Customer Service (06/03/2013)
Go up a size. - Balletdiva (06/09/2013)
what is the difference between the Theatricals Adult Neoprene Arch Jazz Shoe
and the Theatricals Adult Gore Insert Jazz Boot?
The T7600 jazz shoe (theatricals adult gore insert jazz boot) is a leather shoe with side inserts made of elastic. The T7850 (theatricals adult neoprene arch jazz shoe) is made entirely in the middle of neoprene. The 2nd shoe offers an fitted grip around the entire middle of the foot, wheras the first option is not as snug, but offers a little stretch on the upper sides of the foot.- DDS Customer Service (05/06/2013)
I need shoes that dont wear quickly!! I am torn between the bloch super jazz and these, its going to come down to it if these wear fast or not. I would prefer these though as i dont want to wait for the new shipment of super jazz's come in but if i have to i will.
This is an economical jazz shoe that is cost efficient, however, these will not last as long as the bloch super jazz shoe.- DDS Customer Service (03/25/2013)
Dancer15 these shoes don't wear quickly they are even better than the expensive brand. - Harrystyleslover (06/05/2014)
This shoe runs true to street size.- DDS Customer Service (02/25/2013)
You could try to go up in size, however, if you usually purchase wide width shoes I would suggest CG05 which has a wide width available.- DDS Customer Service (02/05/2013)
looking for shoes for my daughter that wears size 2. Her previous jazz shoes are a 1 1/2 and they are getting too tight. Since there is no 2 in the children and clear up to 4 in the adult what can I go from here?
A child's size 2.0 converts to a Adult size 4.0, so for this shoe, the size 4.0 is our best suggestion for your daughter, suggested fitting for this item is Adult same as street shoe.- DDS Customer Service (11/09/2012)
23.5 cm is approximately a US size 7.0- DDS Customer Service (11/06/2012)
The suggested sizing on this shoe is same as street street shoe. Sizing is a suggestion not a guarantee.- DDS Customer Service (10/09/2012)
Suggested fitting on this shoe is same as street shoe.- DDS Customer Service (10/05/2012)

New technology could mean more backyard wind power
09/10/08 5:30PM By Steve Zind
| Download MP3
But now there's a new market: People who are tired of paying high electric bills.
Wind proponents say new technology and government help could bring turbines to thousands of back yards in the Northeast.
But there are some questions about whether household-sized wind will really work.
As part of a collaboration with Northeast stations VPR's Steve Zind reports.
(Zind) There's a slight breeze as David Blittersdorf tries to coax a test turbine to life 80 feet above a Vermont field.
Blittersdorf has been nurturing his new wind energy company, Earth Turbines, just as patiently.
With $3 million invested and more to come, he says Earth Turbines is a departure from small, undercapitalized companies that have been the industry norm.
(Blittersdorf) "In the past 30 years small wind has been sort of sold out of the back of a pickup truck."
(Zind) Blittersdorf plans to mass produce a one-size-fits-all back yard turbine that's as easy to buy as a car.
(Blittersdorf) "We would like to come to the homeowner and say, 'look you want a wind turbine? Fine. Sign here.' The next day at sunset, the wind turbine's spinning in the breeze."
(Zind) Blittersdorf has requests for more than 300 turbines in Vermont alone. That's a sizeable number when you consider it's nearly as many as there are now in the entire Northeast.
Blittersdorf says it might take two decades for one of his 25 thousand dollar turbines to pay for itself. But higher energy prices and greater demand could cut the payback time considerably.
Today's turbines are made to connect to the power grid. What the owner doesn't use is essentially sold to the local utility. Jacci Rousseau can actually see the power flowing from her three year old wind turbine onto the grid.
(Rousseau) "I like to watch it. I stand out here and watch the wind power, the turbine going and sometimes my electric meter going backwards and that's very nice."
(Zind) Rousseau says judging by the number of curious people who've knocked on the door of her central Vermont home, there's a growing interest in small wind.
Some Northeastern wind installers agree. But Bill Stillinger of Pioneer Valley Photovoltaics isn't sure wind has a bright future in the region.
His company sells wind turbines and solar panels in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Stillinger says there's still a lot of uncertainty about how much electricity can be generated by small wind turbines in this part of the country.
(Stillinger) "We are collectively learning as we go to find that some of the siting conditions and some of the general expectations in the Northeast part of the United States are something we're still learning about."
(Zind) In fact Massachusetts recently suspended a state program that funds small wind projects because they were built in places where there wasn't enough wind and manufacturers overstated the output of their turbines.
In New York and Vermont rebates are boosting sales of small wind turbines.
Connecticut and Maine don't have rebate programs, but they're working on them.
Generally, though, there's much more money for solar energy - from both the state and federal governments.
Ron Stimmel of the Washington, D.C., based American Wind Energy Association says the situation might bring to mind comedian Rodney Dangerfield's lament:
"We don't get no respect!"
(Zind) Stimmel says without strong financial incentives from government, there no demand for small wind and without demand, the industry can't grow.
He says local restrictions are another issue. For example many communities limit the height of structures to 35 feet.
(Stimmel) "And the reason is that 100 years ago, the pressure in firefighters hoses could not reach higher than 35 feet."
(Zind) New Hampshire and Vermont have laws exempting small wind turbines from these restrictions.
Noise and aesthetics can also be issues: A neighbor challenged David Blittersdorf when he installed a wind turbine at his house.
(wind turbine sound) "Ok, we're starting to turn..."
(Zind) Back at Blittersdorf's test turbine, the breeze has picked up.
Blittersdorf says putting turbines in the right location is critical and he says more people will turn to wind as they calculate that the rising cost of electricity makes generating their own power an increasingly attractive option.
For VPR News, I'm Steve Zind.
(Host) Tomorrow, we look at commercial wind projects in the Northeast.

I attended the County Commission special meeting this month with an open mind in regard to the Tarmac King Road Mine project. I say with an open mind because I have heard the pros and cons from both sides and wanted to hear the facts, figures and opinions from both sides. Well, I sat for eight hours and listened to it all. Tarmac had answers to the concerns that some people had in regard to the mine, yet I could tell from looking around the room that several people were not there to listen to the facts. They had their minds made up and nothing was going to change that.

$500 for $20 running for 7 days.
Well many thanks for destroying sales of all other authors for another week. Last one ended Oct 23 now this after just 20 days, what's next ? a weekly bundle ?
wtf envato.
Can't agree more. They seem to give less and less attention to authors and more attention to their profits. Probably each elite author pays like the salaries of 2+ employees and yet we still have to wait like 2 weeks for a support reply.. Won't speak about the bugs that were reported months/years ago. Disappointing.
This is like: 100 authors complaining about something. Envato: Don't worry, there's a new bundle coming next week!
You know … Christmas coming, so all we need money for gifts
@FinalDestiny Said it all.
From http://envatobundles.com/ there were 5 bundles in 2011 and this one will be the 5th for 2012. 10 bundles within 2 years, one almost every 2 months. That's a lot.
You will heard reason "why" after 150 replies in this thread
Brace yourself. We'll have a bundle one day where the whole marketplace is sold for five bucks.
Don't worry, we have Christmas bundle coming, we'll have a new one to celebrate the new year…A new one to celebrate the spring. Let's party!
Let's have a little bet! Do you think Orman Clark will be included in this one as well?
Seeing the same authors get picked every bundle is discouraging. If more authors got a piece of the pie, more authors would embrace the bundle.

Leadership in the Church (2 of 3)
Mark Yarbrough:Welcome to DTS Dialogue - Issues of God in Culture. I'm your host, Mark Yarbrough, Executive Director of Communications at Dallas Theological Seminary, and today our discussion topic is "Leadership in the Church".
Let me piggyback on that, because, Aubrey, you're talking about dealing with the emotional side. You actually reference the spiritual formation process, if you will -- that's not the best term to use, but Andy, could you talk about that just for a minute? Because it really relates to what you're talking about.
That's one of the ways that we're trying to address that here at the seminary with our students. But there is such a need for it to go beyond just here. And we're working with churches now, and you both, in organizations that you relate with, are doing that on a regular basis, and in seeing that dynamic of spiritual formation as it is helping to identify these emotional issues that will help prepare someone to be a better leader.
You want to talk about that as it relates to spiritual formation?
Dr. Andy Seidel:Spiritual formation, people talk about it from a lot of perspectives. Sometimes they talk about it just in terms of spiritual disciplines or somehow spiritual growth. We've really taken a little bit different tack on that.
While we include those things, our view is that spiritual formation really has to do with understanding yourself and relationship to God and allowing God to work in your life. And inviting Him to do that and really working through that process.
We talk about a number of critical things in spiritual formation, first of which is identity, and that's why we think it's so critical as a foundation for leadership that our identity is grounded in our relationship with Christ, our acceptance by Christ, our gifting by Christ, all of those things that God has done for us. And providing us with that one relationship in which we can be absolutely secure, so that we don't have to try to establish identity for ourselves.
We can serve others by the way that we lead.
And we talk about integrity, because integrity is a critical thing, and by integrity we're talking about more than just being honest on the outside, we're talking about being honest on the inside. And understanding what's going on, it's related in some way to what Aubrey was talking about in terms of understanding what's going on in your own life, emotions being a part of that.
But understanding your own weaknesses. One of the things that we do in that semester is students write a Screwtape letter about themselves. "How would I be best tempted?" And it's really a process of understanding what's going on inside, you know, where our weaknesses are.
And so we talk about those things. We also talk about communication. We talk, later on, about ministry. We talk about community, a major issue, because we really believe that life change happens in the context of community.
Not by yourself, but in the context of a community of people that can speak into your life, people that know you, that you allow to know you, and God uses those things to develop us spiritually.
Mark: That's great. Thanks for covering that.
Andy: You bet.
Dr. Aubrey Malphurs:I can imagine that some in the listening audience are sitting and thinking, saying, "This is fine for seminary students, this is really going to make a difference in pastors in the future, but how can we take advantage of this..."
Andy: "What can we do now?"
Aubrey:..."In our church -- and I'm not going to be a pastor, I don't plan to be a pastor, I plan to be more of a..." I hate this term, "'lay leader', but I plan to be a leader in the church." But I don't see any reason why the typical person in the church, typical believer, could not become involved in this.
I'm not trying to do a sales job on anyone here, but isn't some of this information available to the public? Can they not get a hold of it?
Andy:Yes. Actually, the curriculum has been reworked for use in the local church, and so they can get a hold of it through the Center for Christian Leadership at the web address...
Mark: You can go to the main website...
Andy: Main website of Dallas Seminary...
Mark: dts.edu. And you can go to the Center for Christian Leadership.
Aubrey:And you could take this in a church, especially if you have a small group approach to ministry, and that would be very powerful material for a small group to work through together.
So if any out in the listening audience are saying, "How can we get a hold of this?" or "How can we do this?" there's the answer. This material is available, and I'm sure there are other materials out on the market as well.
So they can avail themselves to it.
Mark: That is great.
Well, let's take the flip side of this. We've asked questions of qualities of effective leaders. What are some of the pitfalls and dangers of many church leaders today?
Again, Aubrey, let me start with you. In terms of churches that you go into on a regular basis for consultation, what are some of the patterns that you see of these pitfalls that you see that folks, leaders, churches, even organizations are stumbling into on a regular basis?
Aubrey:Well, on the part of the pastor, let me address that, because I have a group called the Malphurs Group, and I did a lot of consulting with churches all the time. And one of the things I'm observing in the pastors is a lack of adequate preparation.
Now seminaries exist to help pastors prepare, and we can only do so much. But I'm seeing guys out in ministry that are just at a loss as to what to do. And many of them feel like their sole purpose, and the expectations of them, is to preach and teach the Bible.
And gosh, certainly we're to do that! What else would we teach and preach but the Bible?
But a sort of limited to that, and I think it gets back to having a bigger picture of the leader, we see the leader in terms strictly of teaching and preaching the Bible.
And again, as important as that is, I think that we need to help people like this, and laypeople as well, understand that there are other aspects, important aspects, to leadership.
And so I think we could do a better job there in terms of preparing them from other perspectives such as the vision casting, understanding the importance of a mission, understanding that every church has core values and that if you get at those core values, they tell you everything about the church and those kinds of issues. And I'm finding that pastors are not schooled well there.
In terms of church strategies and how they do what they do. How they can get into the community and begin to win people and reach out into the communities, these are all things that I'm seeing that are missing in the preparation of men. Now some get it intuitively, and others don't have a clue.
Mark:Right. That's interesting. It makes you think through, because when you talk about -- if we're just focusing in on pastor, on the role of a pastor -- you do think of, "What's the primary role?" It's to preach and teach.
And what you're saying is that you see a lot of guys that are out there in the field -- they're fine with that, they can craft the sermon, exposition, research, package it together, it's fine-tuned in terms of homily, right?
But there are all of these other demands on their life in today's church that relate to these -- leading a group of people beyond just the preaching and teaching of the Word.
That's what you're saying; you've got these things that are beyond that, that they are feeling they're not prepared in those areas.
Aubrey:Well, what I'm hearing from a lot of pastors out there who have been to seminary, for example, especially in the twentieth century, and the sixties, seventies, and eighties, is that we were taught that all we need to do is preach and teach the Bible and everything would take care of itself. And a lot of them are angry about that. They're saying that that's not really true.
Yes, we want to preach and teach the Bible. We want to do a good job of that, but there is more to it than that. And I was told that was it, therefore I don't feel adequately prepared.
Now fortunately a lot of these men can go back and there's training available. From a seminary level, there's the Doctor of Ministry Program, but there are churches that have pastor conference. And there's a lot of material out there being written, in terms of books, articles, and that type of thing. And so a lot of the guys are going to those for help.
And, then, the Center for Christian Leadership puts on seminars periodically. Pastors come in and they're trained there as well.
I'm putting in another plug for the Center for Christian Leadership.
Andy: I know. I appreciate that!
Aubrey: Andy sitting here, soaking all this up, saying "Keep up! Keep on!"
Mark:Just briefly, let's just talk to the pastors that are out there, listening to this, going "Yeah; hey; that's actually my situation right now. I can preach it; that's what I've been trained in. But all of these other areas..."
What word of encouragement would you give to those guys right now?
Aubrey:Well, mine is very selfish, and that is, buy my books. I write a lot in this area. Andy has written in this area, and I've written in this area. And I have a trilogy on leadership that I've done. One is Being Leaders, in which I try to get at "What is a leader?", trying to define a leader, because everybody is using the term "leaders", and that's a popular term today and everybody wants to be called a leader, and my question there is "What is a leader? What are we talking about?"
We say, in our church, that we want to develop leaders; well, what does that mean? What does one look like? How do we know whether we've developed a leader?
And, then, I wrote another book on Building Leaders. In which we get at how do we do this, especially in a local church? Then I did a third book, of that trilogy, which is called Leading Leaders, in which I focus specifically on board leadership.
And, interestingly enough, the last book is the best-seller for me. When I wrote that book, I was thinking that maybe we could help some people out there, but I didn't think that it would be a big seller. And it has been selling quite well.
Andy:It's a great book, because it's touching a particular need now. As churches grow, the way in which they are governed needs to be restructured.
Mark: Let's go to your website, because somebody's out there writing notes right now, going "Where can I get these resources?"
Aubrey:Well, you could go to Amazon, obviously. You just need to remember the name. The publisher is Baker Book House. And they could go online, and they could tap into Baker, and they could get these books from Baker.
Mark: Now, they can also go to your website. Correct?
Aubrey:Yes; but we don't sell books. That's just too much; that would be overwhelming. And then there's the local Christian bookstore, Lifeway, some of these organizations either they have them or they can order them for you.
Mark:So, in other words let me put a larger topic on that, because, in one sense, all of this is talking about continuing education in many ways. Today's pastors out there and they're finding themselves in the situation that we're describing right now there are great resources that are out there to help them in these areas.
Aubrey:So they don't need to be angry, because some of the guys I come across are angry, quite frankly. They're angry at their seminaries; and I'm saying "Don't be angry. There's material out there."
Andy:Well, yes, I think things have changed. To the pastors out there, I think pastors have one of the most difficult jobs that exist. And things have changed over the course of these years. I think, probably, back in the '60s and '70s, you could build a big church just on preaching. I don't think you can do that now, because the demands have changed and people expect more.
The more technologically has advanced, the more people expect. And it generally takes a larger church to do the kind of excellence in production that people are looking for, because that's what they're used to. And so it's a much more difficult thing to lead a church today as a pastor. And leadership, beyond just preaching, is much more of a requirement today for pastors.
Aubrey:I agree exactly with Andy. I don't think he could have articulated it any better. Peter Drucker says there are three organizations that are most difficult, in his opinion. And of course, when Peter Drucker speaks, many of us listen. He said one is being the administrator of a large hospital, another is being the president of a large university, and the third is being the pastor of a large church or the pastor of a church.
I think that's interesting, that a man of the stature of a Peter Drucker, who knows so much about leadership and is respected by everybody out there, not necessarily Christians, but non-Christian types, would say that about the church. So a man with that expertise recognizes the difficulty of leading a church today, which says that our pastors out there have to be continually educated. And those who aren't are slipping behind.
Mark:Wow, that's interesting.
Let me go back to this question of pitfalls and dangers; and then I want to move away from pastors as leaders, because, we all know, it's not just there, leadership must permeate the local church.
But are there any more pitfalls that you see? In one sense, if I can summarize that little topic that we just had, it was the need for continual preparation, additional training, to be up to speed, to be prepared for what we need to do in the church. We focused that in on pastors. But what other pitfalls do you see, in terms of church leaders, that they face today?
Andy:Well, I think one of the largest is the whole idea of change. Change is forced on churches and on their leadership, just by the changes in the society around us, by the growth of the church, particular local church, as it grows, it has to change. And, so, the whole issue of change is a major one.
If change isn't handled well, it becomes a huge pitfall, because any kind of change takes people out of their comfort zone and there's going to be some reaction. Even if it's a good change, the pastor thinks it's a minor change -- we're going to change the time of the service by 15 minutes -- somebody is going to be upset by that, just because we all have difficulty making change, because we get comfortable where we are. And so that's one of the major things that pastors have to deal with.
Mark:Don't you think that's a struggle? When we talk about change that just gets every one of us, every human being that hears that word just kind of goes "Oh." And, when you think about change and church, sometimes growth forces change. And it's not within your control. That's actually one of the great struggles, isn't it, with change? Is that it's something that's almost forced upon you. But, when you grow, it demands that you adapt to that growth.
Aubrey:Isn't that what the heart of Christianity is all about? You can use the "change" word, but the biblical term, rather than "change" is "transformation". But isn't that at the heart of Christianity? I try to point these out when I work with these people in the churches. And I say to them "I know it's difficult; it's hard for you. But keep in mind that this is at the heart of the gospel, and that it's all about that I be more Christlike this year than I was last year and that my goal is to be even more so next year."
And, then, we look at what we're doing and how we're doing it, and we have to ask the question "What changes do we need to make so that this happens?"
Mark:That is great because, if you can take it back to that, then about any external changes, you can say "Why should we be surprised?" Because, if God wants us to be changing constantly in our inner life and our relationship to Him, it should flow out in a congregational if we're all changing inwardly, there should be a constant change with us, outwardly and collectively, as a local body of believers.
Aubrey:I like to use an analysis with muscle memory. My wife works out at the Landry Center, which is here in Dallas; and she has a trainer. Every time she works out, he gives her a different routine. And she always feels it, because she's sore a little bit later on. But what they have discovered is that muscles, if you keep exercising them in the same way, they stop responding after a while; and their term for that is muscle memory'.
I got to thinking about that in terms of Christianity. If we keep doing the same things over and over in our church, for example, maybe the hot issue, of course, would be the area of worship, but there are other ministries as well, then perhaps we grow maybe hardened or callused to spiritual things. So, by changing these things and maybe doing them a little bit differently maybe that's a way to revive us and help us in the transformation process.
Just a thought that we had a while back, rather than look at these things as changing the way we've always done things around here, maybe this would be good spiritually to get me out of the rut and to get me going, by changing and doing something a little bit differently.

VVC Cocktail Lounge: The Hummus Plate
Even in a vegan-embracing city like Portland freaking Oregon, I've eaten my share of insignificant hummus plates for dinner.
Sometimes it's at a company dinner, sometimes it's at a dive bar; there can be very little choice with the default (can you hold the feta, please?) vegan option.
You want food? You're eating hummus for dinner, and it's not part of some impressive mezza platter at a Lebanese restaurant. You wish you were at Nicholas'. I sure do.
It can be your attempt at a semi-filling snack or a somewhat pathetic entrée to pair along with your beer or cranberry lime spritzer when you're out for the night and realize you didn't schedule in dinner. It could be delightfully creamy and well-spiced, with a side of kalamata olives and my beloved crispy, pepperocinis, or it could be bland and accompanied by vegetables you would never introduce to your mom.
There have been many times that my friend Maeve and I have half-joked and half-considered – we've even pulled out a notebook – compiling a list of Portland hummus plates. I mean, it could happen, but we tend to eat better than that.
In closing, I will give some love to the hummus plates at Bar of the Gods, XV, Someday Lounge and Hawthorne Hideaway – I've dipped into my fair share of bean spread at these joints, and they offer some more-than-decent hummus, folks.
Bonus points to the hummus at Dots. We're old friends.
Recommended beverage accompanients: Red wine, cold beer or cocktails, such as dirty martinis, Bloody Marys, or something fruity.
Side-note: I had such a zesty Bloody at Bar Carlo in SE over the weekend. Their Vegan Potato & Black Bean Skillet + a (vegan noted!) Bloody is quite recommended.
Hummus plate, I don't mean to insult ya.
You're cost-effective, full of flavorful possibilities, and you know what, you've always been there for me.
Please feel free to chime in with your own hummus woes, flavors & stories. I can relate.
Here's a link to A Hummus Recipe, from Veganomicon. It's a great base to begin your adventures with, as I did above for a last-minute shindig. Have some roasted peppers sitting around? A handful of basil? Sun-dried tomatoes in the back of the fridge? A sketchy half-jar of olives? Go on…

Lompoc's hummus plate kicks the hideaway's plate outta the water and it's feta-less by default! And there's whiskey there…

Re: TEDx event at MSOEMark Hamby Sep 27, 2013 11:08 PM (in response to Chaitanya Kulkarni)
I would love to see a TEDx event here at MSOE!!
A) the link provided, when clicked, just takes you to the HUB home. I needed to copy and paste it in a new tab to check it out, fyi.
B) I know you posed this question 2 weeks ago, but I just saw it and will need time to look into speaker options. I am sure there are thousands of potential awesome speakers!
Re: TEDx event at MSOEChaitanya Kulkarni Sep 29, 2013 2:27 AM (in response to Mark Hamby)
Thanks for informing about the link Mark, I don't know why it's doing that and how I can edit it to make it work as it should.
And yeah I too would love to see a TEDx event at MSOE and yes there are thousands of brilliant people we can call for this event - it would be good to know from students which speakers they would like to have.
I hope the MSOE administration likes this idea and gives it a thought.
Re: TEDx event at MSOEMollie Zuberbier Sep 29, 2013 1:25 PM (in response to Chaitanya Kulkarni)
Sounds like a great idea! Maybe one of the directors from big events around Milwaukee, like Summerfest? I think that would be really cool!
Re: TEDx event at MSOEJoEllen Burdue Oct 1, 2013 12:56 PM (in response to Chaitanya Kulkarni)
MSOE helped sponsor a TEDx event in Milwaukee this Spring, but it was off campus. Dr. David Howell was involved in the event, and might be a good person to talk to.
Re: TEDx event at MSOEDavid Howell Oct 2, 2013 3:58 PM (in response to Chaitanya Kulkarni)
Yes, the office of Servant-Leadership worked with one of our Brady Foundation grants to enable a group of students taking a course in Project Management to facilitate the event. You can check it out at http://www.ted.com/tedx/events/6556.
We are talking about helping coordinate another TEDx event. We aren't as interested in hosting an event on campus as we are interested in hosting one in the inner-city (well, the MLK Business District)--as a way of providing greater visibility to parts of Milwaukee that need it. That's not to say that MSOE wouldn't benefit from such visibility.
Re: TEDx event at MSOEChaning Ogden Mar 17, 2014 10:34 PM (in response to David Howell)
David Howell, let me know if there is any way I might be able to assist. I was pretty active in NEWaukee recently and was involved in discussions of TEDx in MKE.
I know this post is from October, but felt I would poke the fire incase the idea hasn't been acted on as of yet.
Re: TEDx event at MSOEGerald Soriano Mar 18, 2014 8:06 AM (in response to Chaitanya Kulkarni)
If we could get Sir Ken Robinson (How School Kills Creativity) to come down that would be awesome! I really liked his talk.

Slayer's Jeff Hanneman remembered with street sign in Poland
Listen to Slayer on iHeartRadio
The late Jeff Hanneman is receiving a special tribute. The founding Slayer guitarist is being remembered with a street sign in southern Poland.
Poland's CentrumDruku3D.pl says two fans paid just over $5,100 in the Great Christmas Aid Orchestra auction to get the chance to rename a roundabout in Jaworzno, which they've dubbed "Jeff Hanneman's Circle Pit."
The sign, which was unveiled last Thursday, adds in smaller print, "unforgettable Slayer guitarist."
Another sign in the area explains the origins of the roundabout's new name, adding that it will stay "Jeff Hanneman's Circle Pit" for a year. Hanneman died of liver failure last May.
Check out the sing unveiling below:

iPhone battery status indicator
The SW50 also comes with a battery status indicator which works on your iPhone. This allows you to track the battery level of the SW50 whilst it's paired to your iPhone so you know when it needs charging.
A great-sounding portable Bluetooth speaker
"Slick Distributions' SW50 is a compact Bluetooth speaker with an advertised battery life of up to three hours. It has no integrated volume controls, so you'll have to set that from your MP3 player or other Bluetooth audio source. Using our iPod Touch, distortion crept in at 3/4 volume...but despite this, the SW50's audio quality proved to be surprisingly good, particularly for a mono speaker.
It's better than many integrated laptop speakers with clear treble and even a bit of bass. Tracks with a complex instrumental mid-range lost some detail, but that's not surprising from something that fits in a coat pocket. It's much clearer than most similarly priced and sized speakers we've reviewed. The SW50's only extra feature is its integrated microphone, which means you can use it for conference or hands-free calls. Although it runs into trouble at high volumes, we appreciated its clear sound and comparatively low price, making this our favourite portable Bluetooth speaker."

|Home > Guides > Core Developers Guide > Interceptors > Checkbox Interceptor
org.apache.struts2.interceptor.CheckboxInterceptor is in the
defaultStack. It checks each form parameter submitted to the action and if it finds one with a prefix of
_checkbox it inserts a value for a parameter whose name is derived from the suffix to
_checkbox if it does not exist. The default value inserted is
false but this can be changed by setting the
uncheckedValue parameter on the interceptor.
This means that a checkbox can be accompanied by a hidden input with the same name but a prefix of
_checkbox so that if the checkbox is not checked on the form the action will still receive a value rather than the default HTML action of not providing a value for unchecked checkboxes.

It's important for children in out-of-home care to find a meaningful connection and establish relationships with biological family members.
Family Finding uses technology developed by US Search, an experienced search agent, to identify and locate family members using multiple databases. Online searches generate reports in a matter of minutes. Once identified, family members create a plan, with the help of the child's welfare worker, to build a connection and relationship.
The National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) has been at the forefront of engaging leaders, policymakers, professionals, and parents around critical and timely issues that directly impact black children and their families.Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Family Finding was featured in a recent report by NBCDI (pages 24-27) regarding the agency's work for children in foster care in Wisconsin. The article's focus is on the family connections and the importance of relationships for kids in care.

University of Utah anthropologists have long argued that grandmothers played a critical role in the evolution of large brains, longer lives and other traits that distinguish humans from great apes, their closest relatives in the animal kingdom.
Now computer simulations provide mathematical evidence that support the idea that older women caring for grandchildren account for the long human life span.
Kristen Hawkes and U. colleague James O'Connell, with UCLA's Nicholas Blurton Jones, first advanced the "grandmother hypothesis" in the 1990s after observing the Hazda hunting-gathering society in northern Tanzania.
"We went there not to study grandmothers, but to learn how do you pull it off, live off wild foods," Hawkes said. "The amazing productivity of these old ladies emerged out of the data."
The postmenopausal women were actively gathering food and caring for children. Hawkes wondered if "grandmothering" could explain why humans often live for decades after their offspring grow up, while chimpanzees, orangutans and gorillas become frail after menopause and rarely reach the age of 50.
"That's biggest difference between us and the other apes," Hawkes said.
While humans evolved in East Africa, according to her now-famous hypothesis, grandmothers began playing a more active role in caring for children. This allowed mothers to wean babies fast and have another child sooner, thereby increasing human fertility. It also lent a selective advantage to genetic traits that allowed women to live beyond their child-bearing years.
The theory sounds great on paper, but there was not much statistical string to tie it together, critics pointed out. Maybe human women were living longer for reasons that had nothing to do with child care, and they took it up to stay busy. Critics also argued that the surviving postmenopausal women may actually have hurt their grandchildren's chances by consuming resources that would have fed them.
This week, Hawkes answered with mathematical data published in the British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The study was conducted with mathematical biologist Peter Kim, a former U. postdoctoral researcher now on the University of Sydney math faculty, and James Coxworth, a U. doctoral student in anthropology.
The team devised a computer simulation to investigate how a chimpanzee's life span would evolve in the presence of grandmothering.
The simulation allowed for a weak grandmother effect, according to Hawkes. Only females over the age of 45 could care for children and they could care for only one at a time, while the child had to be at least 2 years old and was not necessarily the caregiver's grandchild.
Even with restricting grandmothers' roles, the simulated results indicated that in just 60,000 years or 2,400 generations, which is not that long on an evolutionary scale this creature's life span would reach human-like dimensions. It grew from 25 years beyond adulthood to 49 years.
"The longer the life span the more years there were to grandmother, the greater advantage to mothers who were longer lived. Longevity was favoring itself," Hawkes said. What drove ancestral humans to look after grandchildren, Hawkes believes, was East Africa's changing landscape, which was becoming less forested as the climate dried out and opened up grasslands.
"So moms had two choices," Hawkes said. "They could either follow the retreating forests, where foods were available that weaned infants could collect, or continue to feed the kids after the kids are weaned. That is a problem for mothers because it means you can't have the next kid while you are occupied with this one."
The primate species that stayed near food sources that newly weaned offspring could gather and eat "are our great ape cousins," Hawkes said. "The ones that began to exploit resources little kids couldn't handle [such as wild game and hard-shelled nuts, as opposed to fruits], opened this window for grandmothering and eventually evolved into humans."
The National Science Foundation and the Australian Research Council funded the study.

1994 Mitsubishi Precis Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1994 Mitsubishi Precis based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The manual transmission may become difficult to shift into third gear. This is common caused by worn synchronizers. Our technicians tell us that revised synchronizers are available to correct this concern.
A faulty engine control module (ECM) ground circuit may cause various issues including stalling, loss of air conditioning operation, and illumination of the Check Engine Light. Our technicians tell us that adding another ground wire to the ECM wire harness can often correct this issue.
The coolant valve under the right side of the dash may develop a leak. This can easily be mistaken for a leaking heater core. Our technicians recommend careful diagnoses of coolant leaks in the area.
The engine may be slow to warm up due to a stuck open thermostat. Replacement of the thermostat is required to correct this issue.
The engine may stall when shifting the automatic transmission into reverse. This is commonly caused by a clogged transmission cooler line or fluid cooler. If this occurs transmission fluid flow will need to be restored by replacing the cooler and/or lines as necessary.
