SNOHOMISH — Detectives may never know why a Snohomish-area couple's Mitsubishi Mirage went off the road into the Snohomish River last winter.
Jason J. Dolman, 31, and Riza P. Ysulat, 36, were missing for weeks. On Jan. 23, police found their car in the river, off Riverview Road, west of town. Their bodies were inside. Both had drowned.
The Snohomish County sheriff's Collision Investigation Unit's case remains active, detective Doug Gold said last week.
Most recently, laboratory tests results came back showing no evidence of drugs or alcohol being involved, he said.
Investigators also had the car undergo a mechanical inspection. No problems were found that could have caused the crash.
Detectives checked weather records, too. There was nothing to indicate that roads would have been icy at the time of the crash.
Most likely, the crash was an accident, possibly caused by a distraction inside or outside the car, Gold said.
"Why we may never know," he said.

Chad Johnson Arrested On Probation Violation Charges
Football player and reality TV star Chad Johnson is getting a hard dose of reality. The former "Ochocinco" was arrested in Broward County, Florida today for alleged probation violation. TMZ.com says a warrant was issued for Johnson's arrest earlier this month after he failed to report to his probation officer and show proof of enrollment in a domestic violence education class. The former "Dancing With The Stars" contestant was placed on probation last year following his domestic violence conviction involving ex-wife Evelyn Lozada last summer. Johnson was cut by the Miami Dolphins shortly after his arrest and lost several big endorsement deals. VH1 also canceled his planned wedding special with Lozada.

BC Hosts Catawba in Conference BoutOctober 18, 2013
BC seeks its second consecutive home win
The Brevard College men's soccer team returns home following a two-match road trip to battle Catawba in South Atlantic Conference action Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. at Brevard Soccer Field in Brevard, N.C.
• On Wednesday, the Tornados stepped out of conference play to tangle with Pfeiffer. The Falcons claimed a 5-1 victory while Juan Mascaro Jr. made his first collegiate start and Pauli Jussila saw his first action of the season. Sophomore Drew Gallowitch netted his first goal of the season in the 73rd minute.
• BC (3-8) has won more matches this season (three) than last season (two). The Tornados look to win consecutive home matches for the first time since Sept. 7 and Sept. 14 of this season.
• No Tornado has started every match this season. Ryan McPhillips, Winston Haddock, Augusto Isern, Heath Turner and Alec Goettl have started all but one. Turner is second in the South Atlantic Conference with 46 saves while McPhillips paces the team with five goals, 11 points and 19 shots. 20 different Tornados have recorded a shot during the 2013 campaign.
• Paulo Silva, Mercelo Betcer and Jami Uuttu have recorded double figures in the shot category this season.
• Catawba enters the match with a 7-3-1, 3-3-1 mark while winning four of its five October matches. The Indians have allowed only four goals in five matches this month.
• Seven Indians have at least two goals on the season while Declan Stimson paces the squad with seven, despite only starting three matches this season. Corey Faughnan leads the team with 26 shots while Frankie Cardelle sets a solid precedent at goalie with a 1.22 goals against average.
• Catawba has won the last five matches between the squads, including a 2-0 victory last season. However, three of those decisions have been decided by a goal, including a 2-1 bout in double overtime in 2011.
• BC head coach and Athletic Director Juan Mascaro enters his seventh season at the helm for the Tornados while assistant coach Bradley Morrison is in his first year.

"Jobs: A Main Street Fix to Wall Street's Failures;" Report Provides More Reasons to Break Up With Your Mega-Bank!
Green America is pleased to highlight a report released yesterday by the New Economy Working Group, an economics solutions alliance that is coordinated by our colleagues at the Institute for Policy Studies. The new report, Jobs: A Main Street Fix to Wall Street's Failures, calls for a comprehensive jobs program that addresses the structural changes needed to shift the balance of economic and political power from Wall Street toMain Street.
The report is in keeping with Green America's definition of "green" that unites both social and environmental goals. You can play a role in shifting power toMain Streetright now, if you haven't already, by breaking up with your mega-bank! Putting your money inMain Streetfinancial institutions – ideally community development banks and credit unions – is an important way to build economic strength at the community level.
The new report's 7-plank plan identifies the need to "Restructure the money system to root the power to create and allocate money in Main Street financial institutions that support Main Street job creation." Not sure how to do your part to support this major goal? Then you'll want to check out Green America's Break Up with Your Mega-Bank toolkit.
The toolkit provides an easy step-by-step way to shift your bank accounts to a community development bank or credit union and includes lists of suggested financial institutions. The kit also provides information on other forms of community investments and links to resources for faith organizations and for alumnae and students who want to urge their institutions to become community investors. For stories about the real life impacts of community investments and additional resources, you'll want to read our Community Investing Guide.
In addition to revamping how we bank, the report's recommendations include replacing conventional financial indicators with real wealth indicators as the basis for evaluating economic performance; restoring the middle class by restoring progressive tax policies and a strong and secure social safety net; protecting markets and democracy from corruption by eliminating concentrations of unaccountable corporate power; and organizing the global economy into economies that align with the structure and dynamics of Earth's biosphere. If you want to be inspired by the future we can create together, you'll want to read A Main Street Fix to Wall Street's Failures.

• tope •
Pronunciation: towp • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb
Meaning: To tipple, booze, carouse, drink alcoholic beverages or drink heavily.
Notes: The latest sightings of today's (still) Good Word all come from 'Merry Old': from Scotland, southern, western, and northern England. Charles Kingsley used it in his novel Westward, Ho! Most Americans will be unfamiliar with it, but it is alive and well, and holding its own in the UK. Tope is not to be confused with the color taupe despite their identical pronunciations. A hard drinker is a toper who indulges in toping.
In Play: The implication of this verb is heavy drinking over an extended period: "Miles Overland is off on another toping tour of the French wine country." It is also used as a general term for tippling: "Reggie, go down to the pub and bring your dad home; he's toped enough for one night."
Word History: There are two lines of thought as to the origin of today's Good Word. One school derives it from the Old French word toper "to accept a bet", which went on to become an interjection meaning something like "Done deal!" used when an agreement is reached. This interjection later was used in toasting and from there it became a verb meaning "to tipple". The other school derives the verb from the naval term, to top (a mast), meaning to lean, tip over, or topple, which had become tope by the mid-17th century. This led to the sense of "tip a glass". The latter hypothesis is the simpler and more straightforward and hence the more likely. (We are grateful to Ian Smallwood of Southampton for toping enough to discover today's Good Word and reacquaint his North American cousins with it.)

Just a Thought...Year of the Apes
It's been an interesting year for the apes. Laurence Gonzales started it off with Lucy, in which a half-girl, half-ape Lucy is brought out of Africa and into the suburbs where her adoptive mother gradually learns the truth and must move quickly to save Lucy. Then there's Sara Gruen's Ape House in which bonobos in a refuge are turned loose and then exploited in a reality show. Then there's Benjamin Hale's The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore, in which chimpanzee Bruno learns to speak and believes he is becoming human. Human-animal communication is a fascinating subject and these books each frame the topic in unique ways. In case you're interested in even more Ape novels, take a look at these:
Banks, Russell. The Darling
Hoeg, Peter. The Woman and the Ape

Kansas City Star reporter Adam Teicher told Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk that he feels Kansas City Chiefs running backs Peyton Hillis and Jamaal Charles could be working in a 50-50 timeshare. More specifically, he said the carries split will be "pretty close" between the two backs. The Chiefs previously have said they want to get both backs a total of over 500 touches. The Chiefs ran just over 1,000 plays last season so it's certainly possible if they stay healthy.
Fantasy Analysis:
With no clear leader, Hillis would presumably be a fantasy steal if he manages to earn 250 or more touches. That's a big stretch though. The Chiefs would have to be a rather dominant team to rely so heavily on their running game and take many leads in the second half (since if they were behind, they'd have to pass more). If someone could guarantee that Charles would also see at least 250 touches, then he could certainly return to his former elite status as a top fantasy back.

Andrei Kirilenko won't be the only small forward making his return Wednesday.
Marvin Williams went through a full practice on Tuesday, as well as Wednesday's shoot around, and said he will play against the Minnesota Timberwolves at EnergySolutions Arena.
Williams, the Jazz's starting small forward, missed Sunday's loss against the Los Angeles Clippers with inflammation in his right knee. However, after two days of rest, Williams said he felt good enough to play.
"It's a little swollen still," he said, "but I feel pretty good."
DeMarre Carroll, who started in place of Williams in Los Angeles, will presumably move back to the bench and Alec Burks and Gordon Hayward will be the primary backups at the wing positions. Point guard Mo Williams was not with the team Wednesday after flying to New York for a second opinion on his sprained right thumb.

UPDATE: Rip Current Advisory Extended
UPDATE 5/14 7:25am
You may want to steer clear of the beach.
A rip current advisory is extended again for South Florida, thanks to the windy conditions.
At least 43 people had to be rescued in Miami Beach Monday and Tuesday, 24 had to be rescued along Ft. Lauderdale beaches during the same time frame.
Conditions are expected to improve by the weekend.
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) _ South Florida beachgoers are being warned to be careful in the ocean after a rip current advisory was extended.
The National Weather Service has extended the advisory through Tuesday for Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties because of weather conditions.
Miami Beach Ocean Rescue operations supervisor Scott Reynolds tells The Miami Herald that a dozen people had to be rescued Monday because of rip currents.
Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue spokesman Timothy Heiser says 23 rescues have been made along Fort Lauderdale beaches since Friday.
Red flags along beaches warn swimmers about rough conditions. Anyone caught in a rip current should remain calm and swim parallel to shore until they can escape the current and swim back to the beach.

Student explores molecular pathways leading to boxer heart disease
The boxer is a stocky, short-haired dog known for its strength and perpetual energy, and for its disposition to a heart condition called arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, or ARVC.
Although no one knows for sure, some experts believe that up to 50 percent of Boxers suffer from the condition, an electrical conduction disorder which causes the heart to beat erratically, leading to collapse and sometimes sudden death.
Veterinary student Eva Oxford has been researching ARVC in boxers for more than six years. She began the project as a doctorate student at SUNY Upstate Medical University, where she was studying cardiac arrhythmias in humans, and has continued since enrolling in the College of Veterinary Medicine in 2008. "ARVC is also a human disease, so this work is relevant to boxers and relevant to humans," she explained.
Oxford – under the guidance of Dr. Sydney MoÏse, professor and chief of cardiology – is looking into changes in gene expression in the hearts of boxers to explain this mysterious condition. The research is funded by a grant from the Morris Animal Foundation.
ARVC is characterized by the infiltration of fat and fibrous tissue in the right ventricle of the heart. Oxford and MoÏse believe this infiltration is related to a reduction in the number of proteins that mechanically hold cardiac cells together and allow transmission of electrical signals. "The infiltration is pretty specific to the right ventricle, and nobody knows why," she said.
Their theory is that differences in gene expression in the right versus left ventricles ultimately lead to the condition.
In her research, Oxford uses polymerase chain reaction techniques to study changes in gene expression, as well as electron and confocal microscopy to directly examine the hearts of Boxers afflicted with the disease.
"Understanding the complex molecular pathways in the heart will really help us hone in on the best treatments for dogs," she said. "Right now, we're perfecting the treatments, but the ultimate hope is that one day we will fully understand the mechanisms which lead to this disease. This understanding could help us to eradicate ARVC in the boxer population."

You may be surprised to learn that the very first house to achieve Platinum-level certification under the USGBC's LEED for Homes program was a modular home installed in Santa Monica, Calif., by LivingHomes in 2006. Since then, factory home builders have made it a point to be the first in their respective markets to attain high-level green certifications from basic, Bronze-level ANSI National Green Building Standard (NGBS) to Passive House, including many net-zero homes and communities.
"The prefab industry embraced green building to meet growing demand, showcase their products, and, because the efficiencies inherent to factory production—including rigorous quality control, resource conservation, and the ability to assemble a house from the inside out—provide factory home builders with advantages difficult to match, even by the best green builders constructing on-site," says Sheri Koones, author of Prefabulous + Sustainable.
To a significant degree, green building depends on critical construction details, such as accurate sealing, flashing, and insulation. Working in a climate-controlled environment that resembles a cabinet shop more than a construction site, technicians and craftsmen labor comfortably on all levels of a structure, from floors to roof, without balancing on ladders, enduring harsh weather, or straining their backs.
"The ergonomics of a factory setting favor high-quality workmanship, which is the first principle of green building," says Steve Glenn, whose company, LivingHomes, strives to build homes certified as LEED-Platinum. Glenn turned to the modular approach to ensure strict and consistent architectural compliance, project after project.
Many developers and architects are finding that quality and cost favor the modular approach for their high-performance projects. But before delving into all the reasons you may want to consider modular construction for your next high-performance home or addition, we should go over some basic prefab vocabulary since the terms "manufactured" and "modular" are not synonymous and often are misapplied.
Manufactured housing refers to factory-built homes meeting the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards, developed and enforced since 1974 by HUD. Commonly known as the HUD-Code, this national standard makes it possible for the industry to build and sell homes across jurisdictional boundaries without having to meet myriad state and local codes.
Manufactured homes are typically single story and trucked to the site in one to three sections, each constructed on a steel frame with wheels, making it possible to relocate the unit. Designed as affordable housing, manufactured homes often carry the Energy Star Qualified label when produced and installed in accordance with Energy Star's guidelines by a certified plant. Some manufacturers, such as Dallas-based Palm Harbor, will also build models that qualify for green building certifications, including LEED, NGBS, Earth Advantage, and others. Although common with higher-end modular homes, costly certifications remain rare in HUD-Code models.
Modular homes are also constructed in one or more three-dimensional factory units, but to state and local codes rather than a federal standard. The modules are transported to the home site for assembly on a permanent foundation. A network of authorized, surrogate state inspectors review plans and visit the modular factory for compliance inspections during the manufacture of each home. Green certification inspections, including Energy Star, LEED, and NGBS, are also performed by specialized third-party inspectors. The final, on-site inspection is done by a local HERS rater, just as with any other certified home.

In 2007, the Charles E. Seay, Jr. Hand Center at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children released Making a Thumb: The Story of Pollicization. The film is an educational guide for hand surgeons and a resource for patient families in treating children with radial dysplasia, a condition in which the thumb is absent or underdeveloped.
The film educates hand surgeons about the anatomy, history and details of a successful operation and provides tools to help surgeons educate patient parents about thumb hypoplasia and the types of hand differences suitable for pollicization.
Through the pollicization procedure, the index finger is moved down on the hand into the thumb position and rotated into opposition to the other fingers.
Although the thumb is only one against the four fingers, it is functionally half of the hand. For a child with no other disabilities, the pollicized index finger can function as quickly and accurately as a thumb on a child born with all five digits.

Milk for Pregnant Woman
Dear Mums,
My sister-in-law is 3 months pregnant now. She got problem with taking the milk prescribed for her by her doctor because she doesn't like the taste and she would gladly like to throw it up every time she took it early in the morning and before going to bed.
She is asking what is the best way to solve her problem in order to have a healthy pregnancy. She is afraid it might affect her baby inside the womb.
Hope to hear from all of you out there,
24th April 2014 04:57 AM #2
Milk is not usually prescribed for pregnant women - I am wondering if there was a specific reason for this? Unless she is unable to get enough Calcium elsewhere in her diet? It is important for pregnant women to have enough Calcium in their diet; 3 portions of Calcium each day. One portion of Calcium is contained in: 150g pot of yoghurt, a small chunk of hard cheese, one glass of fortified orange juice or one cup of cooked spinach. Nuts such as almonds or brazil nuts are also excellent sources of Calcium.
Calcium is particularly important for the baby's developing bones and teeth. If your sister-in-law is able to get enough Calcium in her diet from the sources mentioned above then she does not need to drink any additional milk above this (unless there is a particular medical reason in her case).
Warm wishes,

Emmitsburg, Md. — Top seeded Mount St. Mary's defeated second-seeded Quinnipiac, 14-9, to win the inaugural Northeast Conference Tournament championship on Sunday afternoon at Waldron Family Stadium on the campus of Mount St. Mary's University.
Senior goalkeeper T.C. DiBartolo made 14 saves to earn Most Valuable Player honors while Andrew Scalley scored five goals in the victory.
It is the Mount's second consecutive conference title. Last year, the Mountaineers won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference title in their final season in the league.
Trailing 6-4 midway through the second quarter, the Mount rattled off four consecutive goals to take an 8-6 lead at the half. Brett Schmidt scored twice and assisted on a pair of Scalley goals in the run.
Quinnipiac's Basil Kostaras scored just over two minutes into the third quarter to cut the Mount advantage to 8-7, but Cody Lehrer and Scalley scored back-to-back goals to put the Mount ahead 10-7 after three quarters of play.
The Bobcats (7-7) fought back on goals by Kevin Kelly and Christian Haggerty to cut the Mount lead to 10-9 with 8:31 left in the game. Scalley answered the goal just 11 seconds later when he scooped up a loose ball and beat Quinnipiac goalkeeper Kevin Benzing to push the lead back to two.
Daniel Stanix added an unassisted goal with 5:58 left before Bryant Schmidt sealed the win with a pair of goals in a 20-second span in the final two minutes to give the Mount the 14-9 victory.
Scalley, who was the MAAC Tournament MVP last year, matched his career high of five goals to earn a spot on the All-Tournament team. Brett Schmidt added three goals and three assists in the win while twin brother Bryant Schmidt added a hat trick in the victory.
Brett Schmidt tallied five goals and three assists in the Mount's two games over the weekend to earn All-Tournament team honors. Cody Lehrer, who scored four goals in the Mount's 14-9 win over Bryant on Friday, added a goal and an assist in today's championship game to garner All-Tournament team honors.
DiBartolo made 25 saves while posting a 9.00 goals against average and a .581 save percentage in the pair of wins in the tournament to earn MVP and All-Tournament team accolades.
Face-off specialist Ben Trapp, a second team All-NEC selection, won 19-of-26 face-offs in the game while scooping up a game-high 11 ground balls.
The Bobcats held a slight 37-to-36 advantage in shots in the game, but the Mount had a dominating 30-to-16 edge in ground balls.
Haggerty finished the game with three goals and an assist while Kevin Kelly added a hat trick in the loss. Kostaras chipped in a pair of goals for the Bobcats while Jack Oppenheimer had a goal and an assist in the game.
Benzing made 11 saves for Quinnipiac to earn All-Tournament team honors along with Oppenheimer and Haggerty. Bryant's Mason Polie and Trever Sipperly along with Corbyn Tao-Brambleby and Patrick Smith of Robert Morris also made the All-Tournament squad.

Rolling Stones' Keith Richards shares his keys to band's longevity
Listen to Rolling Stones on iHeartRadio
Keith Richards admits he's not sure how the Rolling Stones have managed to sustain a career that has lasted a half-century. But the rocker says there are two key components to any band's longevity - an intense inner drive and a great drummer.
Regarding his own group, he tells the BBC the Stones have had the "determination to outlive them all" and Charlie Watts. Keith explains that "anybody can rock, but the roll -- that's another thing," adding, quote, "Charlie Watts, that man can play drums."
The Stones are wrapping up their "50 and Counting" trek. The band's tour finale is coming up this weekend. The group will play their second of two shows at London's Hyde Park on Saturday.

What do you do now? You would have to let your draw down, adjust your pin, draw back again, and hope that while doing all of this he won't spook and run for it! There are just way to many what if's and unknowns for me to want to buy a one pin sight. Keep it simple and buy a nice 5 pin sight from spot hogg and you wont be sorry!

Addressing the Gender Gap
Yesterday, another article appeared on the gender gap. It raised more questions and more speculation about the number of women in the workforce - and why there are not more. The Times writes:
"...women's chances of making it to the top are also stuck. Only 17 percent of directors and 14 percent of C-suite executives at Fortune 500 companies are women. All but 20 or so of their chief executives are men. At the other end of the spectrum of opportunity, 16.3 percent of women are officially poor, according to census figures, compared to 13.6 percent of men.
These dynamics are particularly perplexing considering the speed at which women are accumulating marketable skills.
In 1980, only 13.6 percent of adult women had graduated from college, compared to over a fifth of men. By last year, the gap had closed almost entirely: 30.6 percent of women and 31.4 percent of men had a college degree. And women will pass men soon: last year, 1.3 women enrolled to earn a bachelor's degree at a four-year college for every man who did so.
The trend is troubling."

Tornadoes Hit Midwest, Crush Illinois 'Hood
(NEWSER) – Intense thunderstorms and tornadoes swept across the Midwest today, causing extensive damage and killing five people in Illinois, officials confirmed.5 Among the deaths: An elderly man and his sister who died when a tornado struck their farm house in southern Illinois' Washington County. The tornadoes sent people scrambling for shelter and prompted officials at Chicago's Soldier Field to evacuate the stands and delay the Bears pro football game. (They eventually won.) The community of Washington in central Illinois appeared particularly hard-hit, with one resident saying his neighborhood was wiped out in a matter of seconds by what appeared to be a tornado. "The whole neighborhood's gone, the wall of my fireplace is all that is left of my house," he said.

Destination: Italy (14th Century)
Book: Waterfall, the River of Time triology by by Lisa T. Bergren (Young Adult)
By Jennifer Close
Imagine finding a portal that takes you back to 14th century Italy where you are immediately immersed in a battle between gallant knights and their fierce enemies. This is exactly what happened to modern day teenager, Gabriella, when she and her sister were exploring where they weren't supposed to be in Waterfall, the first book of the River of Time trilogy by Lisa T. Bergren.
Awhile back, I was at home sick and trying to find something new to put on my eReader when I saw the first book of the series was on special and free for download. After teaching high school for years, I love Young Adult fiction so of course I downloaded it. I was hooked after the first chapter and finished the book in less than a day.
Gabriella realizes that she did in fact travel back in time and she also realizes that she lost her sister in the process. She embarks on a journey to locate her sister but at the same time discovers not only a little bit more of herself but she also finds love. What I liked most about Gabriella was that she is a strong female character. She has all the typical characteristics of a teenage girl swooning over a boy (a mighty fine looking one at that!) but at the same time she is confident, strong-willed, and resourceful when it comes to finding her way around an Italy of the past. She can appreciate a beautiful gown one minute and can wield a sword the next. Every once in awhile, I felt like it was a little far-fetched that Gabi, for the most part, fit in to the 14th century so quickly and easily but it is a book about time travel after all!
Italy has never really been high on the list of countries that I want to visit even though some of my favorite books are set there. A few years ago, we went to Germany and Austria to see as many Christmas Markets as we could during a two week period…ok, as many Christmas Markets as I could see! We were based in Garmisch, Germany just a few hours north of Italy so we had planned a quick day trip over the Italian border but had to cancel it due to weather. It didn't really bother me too much. But after reading about Gabi's adventures, I think I am ready to plan a trip to Italy now and learn more about the history of the country.
"But the Fonte Gaia of Siena, a simple rectangle, ornately carved of marble, did not demand undue attention. It allowed the public square itself to sing, like a box seat in the best part of a stadium," says Gabi. After reading this description of the Gaia Fountain, I hopped online to see pictures of it. What an interesting fountain it is! The Gaia Fountain, or Fountain of Joy, is a rectangular shaped basin that has three sides adorned with reliefs and is surrounded by an iron fence. I can only imagine what Gaia Fountain looked like to Gabi as she looked at it shortly after its construction without that fence surrounding it.
This series does fall under the Christian fiction category as Gabi struggles with her faith and her responsibilities to her family. It is subtle so if you are not used to reading Christian fiction it isn't in your face. As a mother and former teacher who would share this book with teenagers, I liked that it was a good clean romance with nothing too racy. This book may also get your teenager thinking about the possibility of travel to Italy.
For me, the worst part about this book was when it ended. It was a fun young adult read that left me wanting more and I enjoyed the second two books, Cascade and Torrent, just as much as the first. I can only hope that Ms. Bergren decides to continue Gabi's story.

Now it is the Reader's turn: If you have teens in the family–do you think that books about foreign places might persuade them to travel? When you were younger what books influenced your wanderlust?
And perhaps most important of all, what can we say to persuade Jennifer that she MUST go to Italy??

The ruddy or red-hue rocks found in much of the state, particularly in the southwest, give Colorado its name. The region's terrain varies widely—from yawning black canyons and desolate monochrome moonscapes to pastel deserts and mesas, glistening sapphire lakes, and wide expanses of those stunning red rocks. It's so rugged in the southwest that a four-wheel-drive vehicle or hiker's sturdiness is necessary to explore much of the wild and beautiful backcountry.
The region's history and people are as colourful as the landscape. Southwestern Colorado, as well as the "Four Corners" neighbors of northwestern New Mexico, northeastern Arizona, and southeastern Utah, was home to the Ancestral Puebloan peoples formerly known as Anasazi, meaning "ancient ones." They constructed impressive cliff dwellings in what are now Mesa Verde National Park, Ute Mountain Tribal Park, and other nearby sites. This wild and woolly region, dotted with rowdy mining camps and boomtowns, also witnessed the antics of such notorious outlaws as Butch Cassidy, who embarked on his storied career by robbing the Telluride Bank in 1889, and Robert "Bobby" Clark, who hid out in Creede from the James Gang after he shot Jesse in the back. Even today, the more ornery, independent locals, disgusted with the political system, periodically talk of seceding from the union. They can be as rough as the country they inhabit.
Southwest Colorado has such diversity that, depending on where you go, you can have radically different vacations. You can spiral from the towering peaks of the San Juan range to the plunging Black Canyon of the Gunnison, taking in alpine scenery along the way, as well as the eerie remains of old mining camps, before winding through striking desert landscapes, the superlative Ancestral Puebloan ruins, and the Old West railroad town of Durango. If you're not here to ski or golf in the resorts of Crested Butte, Purgatory, or Telluride, there's still much to experience in this part of the state.

Panetta makes 9/11 gaffe in Iraq
As of July 1, 2011, this guy is effectively in charge of the entire military for the world's "superpower". Is there some adequate response to this story other than "Oh, my God ... "? Perhaps, "Who's got the suitcase?!" or "Please tell me this is satire." Unbelievable...

Responding to claims that the iPhone 5 is disappointingly scratch-prone, Apple has said that such damage is "normal".
Apple Senior Vice President of Marketing Phil Schiller responded to an email sent by a 9to5Mac reader, asking why his Black iPhone 5 was already accruing an array of scratches and scuffs. Schiller said that it's all down to the new aluminium construction of the phone, that "any aluminium product may scratch or chip with use, exposing its natural silver color. This is normal."
Scuffing and scratching of the aluminium rear of the iPhone 5 has been widely reported by new phone owners, causing some to dub the affair "scuffgate", a reference to the "antennagate" debacle that surrounded the 2010 iPhone 4 launch. The effect is most pronounced in the black iPhone 5, as the silver of the underlying aluminium is clear against the darker slate-coloured rear. It's something to consider if you're about to lay down £500 for a new iPhone.
The iPhone 4S uses steel sides and a glass-covered rear. It isn't as prone to scratches, but did have a tendency to smash into a spider's web of broken glass if dropped. Cracked or chipped - take your pick.
This is the second hiccup that has put a damper on the otherwise hugely successful iPhone 5 launch. Much fuss has also been made of the new Maps function in iOS 6, which replaces the Google Maps service of iOS 5 and earlier versions. The mapping info it uses is out-of-date, and often plain wrong, resulting in mis-named towns, missing roads and radically different transport lines. Apple has spoken out on this issue, saying that iOS 6 Maps is not finished yet.
The pair of problems has not held back sales, though. Apple has confirmed that the iPhone 5 racked-up two million pre-orders in its first 24 hours, and managed five million sales in its first three days. However, this is lower than some analyst predictions made pre-launch.
Supply of the iPhone 5 continues to be a problem. Pre-order allocations ran out quickly, and stock availability is still showing as "3-4 weeks" on the Apple online store. The iPhone 5 is expected to sell 26 million units by the end of the year, as predicted by Jeffries analyst Peter Misek.
Are you disappointed by how scratch-prone the iPhone 5 is? Drop us a line in the comments.

CROFTON, MD -- There is dumb, and then there is stunningly dumb. In what may be worthy of joining the annals of world's dumbest crimes, four teens have been apprehended after allegedly using a photobooth to take images of themselves with a stolen credit card.
According to local press reports, an unnamed woman reported her card missing to the Anne Arundel County (MD) Police on June 6. After reviewing its transaction history, police traced the card to a Regal Cinema here. From there they were able to identify the teens purchasing tickets and entering a nearby photobooth. A photo later surfaced and police released the image of the teens -- one of them actually holding the card -- to the public.
The alleged perpetrators were apprehended within days.

Personally I disagree with that point. I feel that tournaments that can't comply with minimum safety standards and organisation shouldn't be insured.
I think that tournaments on 20mm jigsaw mats on tennis courts called 'the intergalactic bjj championships of the UK' are bad for the sport.
What if someone is badly injured because the mats area is too small or the mats too thin? Is that good for the sport? Does it reflect well on us as a whole?
What if there is inadequate (if any) medical provision? Is it good for the sport to see a doctor operate on himself on the mats?
IMO insure first and ask questions later is a poor start, the logical order is to set out some guidelines and make sure tournaments adhere to them if they want GAA insurance.

Good product, but...
By Brian
from Athens, GA
This product works as advertised for catching litter off of my kitty's paws as she exits the box. The only problem I have come across is that my cat attempts to avoid exiting onto the mat, so I think it would be much more effective if I had a box with a cover that only allowed feline departure in one direction. Just something to keep in mind.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. Please remember that the 1'-sq. modular trays interlock on all four sides for customizable set up around a litter box if that may help your kitty's steps to end up on the mat.

Finally something that works!
By Boo's Mom
from Jacksonville ,Fl
Pros: Cuts 95% of the tracking down. Kitty took right to it. Highly reccomend it to others.Cons: A little pricey but worth it. Color. Maybe different size options for the future.
By CD22
from Cambridge, MA
I have put down 3 sets of trays to cover the floor of the closet room where the litter is. No litter gets tracked to the rest of the house... like it used to. I love these trays.
Best thing I've found for going barefoot
By Catnipmouse
from Chicago, IL
I've "tiled" our back room where the litter boxes are with these. They work great. I can even go barefoot back there!Easy to clean, and they really catch the litter. With marriage, my # of cats have grown from 2 to 4, and I'm so happy I found these mats, as I have a lot of litter boxes to accomodate now. The cats doubled and so did the number of boxes!

Works as advertised
By mpound
from Colleyville, TX
It collects about 90% of cat litter that was previously spread around the utility room by my cat whenever she left the box. It's great to be able to walk barefoot in the laundry room again and not be annoyed by stepping on stray pieces of litter. It works far better than any mat purchased at a pet supply store.

An Intro to Backbone.js: Part 1 – Models and Collections
Backbone.js can help build it. It's a light-weight MVC for the browser – only ~1000 lines of code, and it's clean.
There's no magic. It's mostly just a structure for the code you write – not a bulky collection of widgets and doodads. It's fast to learn, and lets you work with whatever technologies you're already comfortable with.
Trying Out Backbone
If you're looking to try it out, you're going to need to load Underscore.js first. It's Backbone's only major dependency.
Oh yeah, and Backbone does not have anything to do with the DOM, although it does have some loose dependencies on the $ and ajax calls of jQuery/Zepto. If you aren't using jQuery or Zepto then you'll need to do a little more work (like 10 lines of code). I'll go over the particulars in the next post. For now, play nice and just use jQuery or Zepto if you feel like following along.
What's going on in there?
There are five main prototypes in Backbone.
- Backbone.Collection – A little more than what you're thinking.
- Backbone.Model – ActiveRecord implementation, but it's got a url!
- Backbone.Controller – More or less exactly what you're thinking.
- Backbone.View – If you're from Rails, then it's not what you're thinking.
- Backbone.Events – Inherit from this guy to give your objects PubSub!
In this blog post we're going to look at Models, Collections, and Events.
An implementation of the ActiveRecord pattern, but using JSON and a RESTful API instead of directly interfacing with a database.
So let's say that we're working on a donut app, and we want to be able to describe our donuts!
// We extend the Backbone.Model prototype to build our own var Donut = Backbone.Model.extend({ // We can pass it default values. defaults : { name : null, sparkles : false, cream_filled : false }, url : function() { // Important! It's got to know where to send its REST calls. // In this case, POST to '/donuts' and PUT to '/donuts/:id' return this.id ? '/donuts/' + this.id : '/donuts'; } });
That's analogous to defining a model class in Rails. Now let's put it through it's paces a little.
// Instantiating var bostonCream = new Donut({ // attributes passed to the Donut constructor will override the defaults name : "Bostan Cream", cream_filled : true }); // Updating and retrieving attributes // Actually, let's put sprinkles on that... bostonCream.set({ sprinkles : true }); // Saving bostonCream.save(); // this will now POST to the RESTful interface.
Backbone.Model#save is an asynchronous method. So you'll need to provide a callback. The following code assumes success.
// Now that it's saved it'll have an id.. bostonCream.id; -> 3, or whatever number your JSON api passed up. // Wait, what's the name? bostonCream.get("name"); -> "Bostan Cream" // Ugh, sprinkles are gross. And there's a typo in the name. bostonCream.set({ sprinkles : false, name : "Boston Cream" }); // Updating bostonCream.save(); // and now it's a PUT. // it will put directly to "donuts/3", since that's the URI // of the model now.
A collection of models, duh. It's a little smarter than that. It proxies to Underscore to give you a bunch of sweet list functions for working your data out, and lets you keep an eye on what your models are up to through a bunch of handy events. Plus, if you have a RESTful API you can tie them directly to a collection on your backend. Cool, right?
So let's work out this donut example a little. If you want to manage a collection of donuts, we can use the same API we were working with earlier…
var Donuts = Backbone.Collection.extend({ model : Donut, url : "/donuts" }); var donuts = new Donuts; donuts.fetch(); // this makes a call to the server and populates the collection based on the response.
The call to collection#fetch is asynchronous, so let's assume this code is being run after the call is complete.
donuts.at(0); -> gets donuts by index. donuts.get(0); -> gets donuts by id.
And a few examples of the Underscore iterator methods…
donuts.each(function(donut) { console.log(donut.get("name")); }); // Select donuts with names longer than 2 donuts.select(function(donut) { return donut.get("name").length > 2; }); // Map... donuts.map(function(donut) { return donut.get("name"); });
Nested Collections
One of the most common uses for collections is to make them nested. In this case, let's introduce another model, the "Donut Shop" and let's say that it has a list of Donuts that it serves.
var DonutShop = Backbone.Model.extend({ defaults : { name : "Untitled" }, initialize : function() { // When you extend a Backbone.Model and give it an initialize function, // the function is called when you instantiate an instance of your Model. // The initialize function is used repeatedly in Backbone's prototypes. We'll be seeing this again this.donuts = new Donuts; this.donuts.url = 'donut_shops/' + this.id + "/donuts"; } });
So now if you have an existing donut shop that has been saved to the server, you can go:
All of the Backbone core objects give you events to plug in to. For instance, the Collection prototype allows you to bind to "add" and "remove" events.
donutShop.donuts.bind("add", function(donut) { alert("added " + donut.get("name")); }); // now adding a donut will trigger the alert var lemonFilled = donutShop.donuts.add({ name : "Lemon Filled" });
Backbone provides you with the Backbone.Events object as well. So, since Underscore is a prereq of Backbone anyway, you can do fancy nonsense like this…
var application = {}; _(application).extend(Backbone.Events); // Now your application object has it's own events! For example. application.bind("fun:had", function() { alert("wee!"); }); application.trigger("fun:had"); // it'll alert "wee!"
There's part 1. Next time I'll take you through some fun parts:
- Navigating using Backbone.Controllers
- HashChange routing!
- Creating a view
- Tying a view to model events
- Tying a view to a collection's events.
If you're looking to try out Backbone, which I'm guessing you are, here are the relevant links.

TOMS RIVER, NJ -- Operators needing repairs for their aging skill crane machines manufactured by United Textile Fabricators and related lines have a new option. Scott Holland, a former technician at UTF and its predecessor, Grayhound Electronics Inc., has opened a shop to handle component repairs and parts replacements.
His repair facility, called Aslex LLC, is located here and is fully equipped to test and service all UTF Treasure Chest skill cranes, as well as models made by Talon and three-board systems by Grayhound. Toms River, NJ-based United, which recently shut down its manufacturing and sales operation, produced about a dozen different crane models under the "Treasure Chest" banner. Popular models include the Classic, Guan Shing (GS), YES and CLE.
Holland, who worked for United for 10 years, said he was asked by the former company's principals to continue offering product support, and that Aslex is the only factory-authorized repair shop. The crane tech has been involved in coin-op since the 1970s; his father, Bob Holland, was one of the founders of Grayhound.
Aslex LLC can be contacted at P.O. Box 3314, Toms River, NJ 08756-3314. Holland can be reached at (848) 480-6082 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Unbelievably, Wonderfully GrandBy Kevin Nguyen
Wes Anderson, Stefan Zweig, and their sumptuous surroundings.
Looking at this year's Academy Award nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay, Bill Morris at The Millions grumbled that "Hollywood screenwriters need to mix more fiction into their diet." He can at least give a pass to Wes Anderson, whose new film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, is based not just on one novel but on an entire oeuvre—that of Stefan Zweig, an Austrian writer whose work Anderson has helped revive. In fact, Zweig's influence on Anderson is so profound that the filmmaker compiled The Society of the Crossed Keys, a new anthology of Zweig's work. Unfortunately, the collection is only available in the UK, but its constituents—Zweig's memoir, the novel Beware of Pity, and the novella "Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman"—can be found separately in the US.
Both Zweig and Budapest find comedy and melancholy in the changing landscape of 1930s Europe, and Anderson is quick to admit his debt to Zweig. The film features two characters meant as stand-ins for the writer—there's the hotel's nostalgic, effete concierge, M. Gustave, and the unnamed Author, who appears throughout as a narrator and interlocutor. But Zweig's influence on Anderson extends far beyond this latest film. Though Anderson says he came across Zweig's books only six or seven years ago, the pair have long shared similar themes and aesthetics, even if Anderson didn't know it.
For starters, consider their fastidious preoccupation with appearance. In an essay examining The Royal Tenenbaums against J. D. Salinger—another of Anderson's literary influences—Matt Zoller Seitz established a concept called "material synecdoche—showcasing objects, locations, or articles of clothing that define whole personalities, relationships, or conflicts." Anderson uses his meticulously designed mise-en-scène as visual shorthand for his characters. It's how we understand the Tenenbaums from their wardrobe, their childhood bedrooms, and the way the opening scene itemizes the things in those rooms. It's one of Anderson's favorite storytelling mechanisms—think of Moonrise Kingdom, in which Sam Shakusky's raccoon hat and glasses set him apart from the rest of the Khaki Scouts; think of Max Fischer's red beret in Rushmore. In Anderson's work, the exterior reliably informs the interior. Read More

In late September, BYU traveled to Logan and defeated Utah State 1-0.
Both teams have improved since then, winning their respective conference championships.
The Aggies' task in the return engagement Friday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament is more difficult due to the game's location South Field, where an average of more than 3,300 fans gathered this season to spur on the No. 4-ranked Cougars.
"I can't tell you how excited and honored I was seeing that No. 1 seed," BYU senior defender Lindsi Lisonbee Cutshall said. "I don't think there's a better way to wrap up my senior season we get home advantage, we won our conference and now this."
A No. 1 seed for the first time ever, BYU (18-1-1) is riding a 17-game unbeaten streak, going 7-0-1 in the West Coast Conference. WCC Freshman of the Year Michele Murphy and senior Jessica Ringwood lead the Cougar squad with eight goals each. Senior Carlee Payne Holmoe leads in the assist category with nine.
USU (13-2-6) earned its second consecutive tournament appearance, thanks to a 1-0 victory against Denver on Sunday for the WAC Tournament title. The streaking Aggies have won eight straight and have an 11-match unbeaten streak their last loss coming against BYU.
"They are an opponent that we are very familiar with since we play them in the spring as well," USU coach Heather Cairns said. "The plus of it is that it is just a short bus ride down the road. Our legs aren't going to be tired from traveling."

Submissions 101, a never ending source of amusement. Quotes are from posters in this thread; http://www.brazilianjiujitsugear.com...ead.php?t=8308
"I think having the advanced stuff in your bag of goodies is a great thing to have... ...But, what do I know? I've been submitted in every tourny I've ever been in lol."
"What's basic for Ari may be complex for me." - Ari Bolden is a blue belt!!
"Twister might be totally basic for Eddie B, but for a guy who has been training just GJJ for equal amount of time Eddie has been training BJJ/10P, it would be advanced/fancy/complex."
"Yes, the basics are all you need. In a way, Eddie was a fluke. But he was a well thought out, premeditated, and meticulous fluke whose 4 years of highschool wrestling and how many years of BJJ? defeated a lifetime of BJJ experience." - People seem to be remembering the Royler Gracie fight differently to me... I didn't see any twister stuff (from HS wrestling) and no rubber guard other than standard high guard stuff ala Schembri etc.
The whole forum is a mine of absolute comedy gems.

A monthly online journal that contains citations and links to articles on the environment and health impacts of nanotechnology, VJ-Nano EHS is a product of The International Council on Nanotechnology (ICON) and Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN), which launched the first EHS database in August 2005.
ICON is an international organization with members from academia, non-governmental organizations, industry and government dedicated to the safe, responsible and beneficial development of nanotechnology. Its EHS database was the first effort to integrate the vast and diverse scientific literature on the impacts of nanoparticles, which are tiny pieces of matter with dimensions measuring between 1-100 nanometers and containing between tens and thousands of atoms.
By virtue of their size, shape or surface characteristics, many nanoparticles exhibit properties that aren't observed in the bulk form of the same material. With nanomaterials currently being used in hundreds of consumer products, including cosmetics, fabrics, and computer hardware, it is important to understand the potential risks of nanoparticles to living organisms. VJ-Nano EHS provides the most comprehensive knowledge base of peer-reviewed information focusing on nanomaterial impacts available to-date.
"One of the main purposes of our organization is to communicate reliable information on the potential environmental and health risks of nanotechnology in a way that is accessible to both the research community and non-technical audiences," said Kristen Kulinowski, director of ICON. "We believe this new journal provides us with that opportunity."
VJ-Nano EHS organizes the information contained in ICON's existing EHS Database into a reader-friendly monthly journal format, with articles listed in each issue primarily published during that month. New features include a rotating guest editorship, and a series of occasional papers on topics of interest taken from the contents of the database. In addition, users can subscribe to an RSS feed to receive citations to the latest papers. ICON is working to make more of the papers themselves accessible.
Contents can be browsed by author, journal, or date or by method of study, exposure or hazard target, paper type, risk exposure group, production, particle type, exposure pathway, content emphasis and target audience. In the future, the journal will include a section on the "most-cited Nano EHS papers."
VJ-Nano EHS and its database are maintained by ICON as a public service. ICON is associated with CBEN at Rice University.

Resources for Developing Workforce Innovation Fund Grant Applications
January 20, 2012
The Workforce Innovation Fund (WIF) is a grant competition that will provide state workforce agencies and local workforce boards (or consortia of these groups) a total of $98.5 million to invest in service delivery strategies and/or system-level reform that improve employment and educational outcomes for workers, create efficiencies in the workforce system, and foster strong cooperation across education, training, and human services systems. Applications are due March 22, 2012 and should follow the requirements found in the Solicitation for Grant Applications.
The resources found on this page are for those applying for funding under the Workforce Innovation Fund. Included in the list below are resources regarding promising state- and local-level models that align with the goals of the WIF and help create pathways to postsecondary and economic success for low-skilled workers.
CLASP has long supported system-level reform through our Center for Postsecondary and Economic Success, our work providing technical assistance to cross-system state policy teams through the Shifting Gears initiative, our Youth Policy work and as convener of the Communities Collaborating to Reconnect Youth Network.
In the solicitation for grant applications, DOL has outlined four requirements for innovations supoported by the Fund. Strategies should:
- Deliver services efficiently and serve vulnerable populations, including low-income, low-skilled, and long-term unemployed adult and youth workers by helping them obtain employment, academic and industry-recognized credentials, and improve their basic skills;
- Support system-level reform that advances collaboration across workforce development, education, human services, social insurance, and economic development programs;
- Include partnerships with employers or industry sectors with existing and future workforce needs; and
- Address how the supported innovations will be evaluated and how "lessons learned" will be used to take effective practices to scale across workforce systems in other states and local areas.
Importantly, these grants are "intended to seed innovation in the regular WIA formula programs" (page 12 of the SGA). Applicants should clarify how regular formula funds (as well as grant funding) will be used to support these innovations and sustain them.
Resources from CLASP
Farther Faster: Six Promising Programs Show How Career Pathway Bridges Help Basic Skills Students Earn Credentials That Matter(August 2011)
This brief highlights six promising programs that show how career pathway bridges help lower-skilled students move farther and faster along college and career paths through dual enrollment in linked basic skills and occupational certificate courses. These models are explicitly supported as a promising innovation on page 4 of the SGA.
Funding Career Pathways and Career Pathway Bridges: A Federal Policy Toolkit for States(October 2010)
Applicants to the WIF are encouraged to use braided funding in the solicitation for grant applications to ensure sustainability of program delivery and funding (see page 3 of the SGA). CLASP developed this toolkit to help interagency state teams identify and use federal resources to develop a "braided funding" strategy to support career pathways and career pathway bridge models. This toolkit can help state teams identify specific activities that can be funded through the use of ten critical education, workforce, and human services federal funding streams.
Shifting Gears: State Innovation to Advance Workers and the Economy in the Midwest(July 2010)
States in the Shifting Gears initiative are engaged in system reform in adult education, workforce development, and postsecondary education to increase the number of low-skilled workers with a postsecondary credential and address barriers to program completion for lower-skilled adults. This report by CLASP highlights the work of three such states (Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin) that are pursuing career pathways or bridge models at the state level as the focus of their work.
Beyond Basic Skills: State Strategies to Connect Low-Skilled Adults to an Employer-Valued Postsecondary Education(March 2011)
This CLASP report includes a detailed write-up of six policy strategies that have shown promise in increasing the number of low-skilled adults that transition to postsecondary-level coursework and complete an academic or industry-recognized credential (pages 6-14). A comprehensive strategy to increasing the number of credentials in the state should coordinate more than one of these state policy approaches. Also included in this report is a short overview of the research that has been done on the effectiveness of these approaches (pages 5-7).
Building a Comprehensive Youth Employment Delivery System: Examples of Effective Practice(February 2010)
Many communities have shown tremendous commitment to youth employment. The return on investment and effort, however, can be greatly multiplied if federal youth funds, discretionary funding, resources from other youth serving systems, and community resources are brought together to build comprehensive youth employment system. This CLASP report identifies the key components of an effective delivery system and provides examples and contact information for communities with effective systems.
Building Pathways to Postsecondary Success for Low Income Young Men of Color: A Community Intervention Strategy (November 2010)
Building postsecondary pathways to good jobs for low-income young men of color will require stretching the paradigms of our secondary, postsecondary, workforce, and adult education systems, as well as greater collaboration among these systems. Aligning systems and programming across funding streams, building partnerships, and creating new pathways are complex endeavors. But there are many innovative approaches that have shown promise and can be implemented and taken to scale. This report outlines elements of a community intervention strategy, including essential elements for successful systems building and programmatic intervention (pages 3-10).
Creating Postsecondary Pathways to Good Jobs for Young High School Dropouts (October 2008)
Funds from the WIF can be used to connect multiple systems serving disconnected youth to provide employment and educational services. This CLASP paper advocates expansion and better integration of efforts to connect high school dropouts between the ages of 16 and 24 to pathways to postsecondary credentials that have value in the labor market. The paper highlights examples of innovations in policy, program delivery, pedagogy in adult education, youth development and dropout recovery, and postsecondary education that should be built upon in developing more robust and successful dropout recovery and postsecondary education policies and practices to open the door to higher wages and career opportunities for this population.
Learning from the Youth Opportunity Experience: Building Delivery Capacity in Distressed Communities (February 2006)
In 2000, the U.S. Department of Labor awarded significant Youth Opportunity (YO) Grants to 36 high-poverty urban, rural, and Native American communities. The grants were designed to serve all young people in these areas, regardless of income or connection to school or work. Communities were required to assess and integrate existing youth-serving systems and agencies to support education, work exposure, youth development, and other services for young people. This report, based on a survey of 22 of the 36 sites, examines the approaches' strengths, challenges, and lessons learned, and offers recommendations for policy and practice. The appendix of this report contains a brief description of the collaborative efforts in which these YO communities were engaged.
TANF Education and Training Resources
Due to a combination of TANF work participation rate requirements, various federal regulations, and a general "work first" approach, many states have provided few opportunities for TANF recipients to participate in education and training. However, some states have bucked this trend by creating successful education and training programs in spite of limits imposed by federal rules. This page includes resources that highlight innovative state strategies, opportunities, and CLASP federal policy recommendations on education and training within the TANF program.
Resources from Other Organizations and the Federal Government
Online Learning: Does it Help Low-Income and Underprepared Students?(Community College Research Center, March 2011)
Funds from the WIF can be used to support the expansion of online job training and distance learning. Applicants who choose to include distance learning as part of their application should carefully consider the use and design of these types of programs to best meet the needs of low-income, low-skilled workers. This review of studies of online learning suggests that some underprepared students may not fare well in online-only courses and offers ideas about how to implement policies and practices to improve outcomes for vulnerable students using distance learning.
Program Memorandum: Use of Funds Provided Under the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) for Integrated Education and Training(Department of Education, June 2010)
This non-regulatory guidance from The Department of Education's Office of Vocational Education clarifies how funding under Title II of WIA can be used to support integrated education and training models that combine basic skills education with occupational training.
Enhanced Transitional Jobs Demonstration(Department of Labor, 2011)
This information from the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration describes seven grants to identify innovative transitional employment strategies that work for individuals with barriers to employment.
Technical Assistance
CLASP staff is available to provide technical assistance to states developing applications for the Workforce Innovation Fund. Please contact Marcie Foster firstname.lastname@example.com any questions.

Man Charged With Selling Drugs That Lead To Electric Zoo Death
New York's Electric Zoo music festival is set to return later this month after last year's event was cut short by the drug-related deaths of two attendees.
Now The New York Times says the man who sold one of the late music fans the drugs has been arrested. Patrick Morgan was tracked down in Buffalo, New York earlier this week after a friend involved in the alleged Electric Zoo MDMA purchase cooperated with the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Morgan has been charged with narcotics distribution and narcotics conspiracy, which both carry a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. After appearing in federal court, he was released on 100-thousand dollars bond.
The 2014 edition of Electric Zoo is scheduled to get under way on August 29th.
Organizers announced plans earlier this year to increase their efforts to deter drug use by bringing in drug-sniffing dogs and more undercover police officers.

Here are your Apple rumors and AAPL news items for today:
Next Christmas: Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is working on its own TV set and will launch the device in time for next year's holiday shopping season, CNET notes. Piper Jaffray (NYSE:PJC) analyst Gene Munster says Apple will introduce the new TV in November 2013. Munster had earlier predicted a launch this year. The TV is anticipated to come in several screen sizes between 42 inches and 55 inches, and retail between $1,500 and $2,000. A key selling point for the Apple-branded TV will be its ability to connect with a variety of other devices, including iPads and iPhones. The TV will feature FaceTime video chatting and Apple's Siri voice assistant. Munster also expects it to come with unbundled channel options. While analysts have been predicting an Apple TV for some time, the market continues to see rapidly falling prices, making entry for a high-end product potentially risky.
Way Too High: HTC CEO Peter Chou has denied reports that his company is paying licensing fees of $8 a smartphone under its recent deal with Apple, eWeek notes. Earlier this month, the two companies announced a 10-year licensing deal that brought an end to various patent infringement lawsuits. Chou said the rumored payments to Apple were "outrageous," "baseless," and "very, very wrong." However, he declined to say exactly what HTC was paying Apple under the deal. Chou said he was happy with the settlement and called it a "good ending." Analysts have speculated that Apple's deal with HTC could serve as a model for resolving its patent litigation with Samsung and Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Motorola.
Thanksgiving Deals: Apple will offer one-day Black Friday discounts at both its online and physical Apple Stores, NBC News notes. The company hasn't revealed details of the discounts that will be available this year, but last year it slashed prices on its Macs by $101, and trimmed iPad prices by between $41 and $61, depending on the model. Apple routinely offers Black Friday sales. Consumers can begin receiving Black Friday discounts at Apple's online store after 3 a.m. EST/12 a.m. PST. The bricks-and-mortar Apple Stores will be open for extended hours on Friday.

Have you installed VMware Tools ?
I've got BackTrack 5 running and I was just curious why I'm unable to run it widescreen. I can change the resolution settings, currently running it at 1400x1050, but I have thick, black, vertical bars on each side. I'm running BT5 as a virtual machine using VMware Fusion 4.1.1. Does this have something to do with VMware or BT itself? I'm able to edit the resolution in the GUI, maybe I should be doing this from the cli? Just wondering if anybody else has come across this problem?
Have you installed VMware Tools ?
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
I thought I did. When I got to attempt to reinstall the VMware Tools, it states 'Cancel VMware Tools Installation' So I'm not sure if it hung, or if there is something else I need to do. In the past, when I installed VMware tools on Linux a file on the desktop would appear, or maybe in a specific folder. Is that correct? I think I'm missing a step

The term planet earth is an innovation which has arisen in recent centuries with the error of heliocentrism.If one wants to confess a pure doctrine of Orthodoxy, they should be careful not to refer to the earth as a planet, unlike the current Pope as well as Patriarch Kirill and Patriarch Bartholomew, who regularly speak in error when they refer to our planet earth.
