We want the DESE to enforce Special Education Laws
March 31, 2013
Experienced parents and special education advocates know that school districts often do not comply with regulations or best practices for learning disabled children.
We hope that oversight by appropriate state agencies will protect learning disabled children when school districts fail, and we hope that the same state agencies would work toward improving all districts' compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Unfortunately, our hopes are not always realized.
A case in point comes from Hudson, MA. The experienced parents from the Hudson Special Education Parent Advisory Council (PAC) asked Program Quality Assurance (PQA) to investigate Hudson Public Schools inappropriately using the term "SPED staff" on IEP service delivery grids (link to Hudson Complaint and letter with attempts to correct the problem ). PQA found Hudson out of compliance (link to PQA findings).
When Hudson PAC parents asked PQA to have Hudson correct all affected students' IEPs, PQA refused, citing an "undue burden" on Hudson (link to PQA response).
We then asked the Mass. Dept. of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to educate districts by issuing an advisory on the matter (link to PDF of letter to Mittnacht). Unfortunately, DESE did not respond.
Parents are essential in developing appropriate special education programs for their children. Compliance with laws and best practices will help to ensure the civil rights of learning disabled children and to habilitate them.
Sign our petition and Join the experienced parents of Hudson SPED PAC (www.hudsonsepac.com) and SPEDWatch (www.SPEDWatch.org) in asking the DESE to enforce SPED laws and to improve all districts' compliance with SPED Laws.

Every day, the Special Education rights of children with special needs are being violated and ignored by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).
When parents file complaints with the DESE's Program Quality Assurance department because their children's RIGHTS are being violated, parents have an expectation that this process will be addressed appropriately based on the laws that are being violated.
One does not expect the PQA department to not hold districts accountable for their actions. This seems to be a common practice with the department.
Recently a complaint was filed on behalf of special needs students in Hudson, Massachusetts and the PQA department found Hudson out of compliance. Instead of addressing the issue so that our children do not fail, the DESE Problem Resolution System Specialist chose to allow the district to continue with its process and only address any new cases.

Dear Mr.Teixeira:
I am writing in response to your October 16, 2012 email regarding the Department's Letter of Closure for case #13-0029. In this matter, we required Hudson Public Schools to cease using "SPED Staff' going forward in the development of individual Education Programs ("IEPs"). We determined that the remedy could be accomplished as IEP Teams convene for annual review or re-evaluation IEP Team Meetings. The District may also have instances in which parents may request amendments to the IEP or parents may individually request to re-convene IEP Team Meetings. Our precise corrective action in this matter was:
The District must send a memo to its IEP Team Chairpersons responsible for the development of the IEP stating that the use of term "SPED Staff" on the IEP service delivery grid is not acceptable, and that each IEP should identify the type of service providers, e.g., special education teacher, paraprofessional, Occupational Therapist, etc.
It would create an undue administrative burden on the school staff of Hudson Public Schools to ask Hudson Public Schools to immediately amend hundreds of iEPs or convene hundreds of iEP Team Meetings. The corrective action we ordered is reasonable in consideration of the nature and scope of the issue.

It would create an undue administrative burden on the school staff of Hudson public Schools to ask Hudson Public Schools to immediately amend hundreds of IEPs or convene hundreds of IEP Team Meetings. The corrective action we ordered is reasonable in consideration of the nature and scope of the issue.
The above statement shows no accountability by the department. Our children continue to be left behind.
We must place an END to this practice. This causes a LOSS in education for our children!
We want the DESE to enforce Special Education Laws.
Our children are waiting!

Williams wants Audley fight
Danny Williams threw down the gauntlet to Olympic champion Audley Harrison after he easily defended his Commonwealth heavyweight title on Saturday night.
The 28-year-old took just 32 seconds to defeat the previously unbeaten New Zealander Kali Meehan at Bethnal Green.
He is due to take on Julius Francis, who was most memorably beaten by Mike Tyson, in his next bout, but is already angling for a clash with Harrison.
He said: "Audley deserves all the praise for winning gold at Sydney. I'm not disrespectful, but any time he wants it, I'm here."
Williams defends his British and Commonwealth crowns against former sparring partner Francis at Wembley Conference Centre on 28 July.
Francis held both titles when he beat Williams in April 1999 and the man who lasted just 243 seconds against Tyson nine months later was far from impressed by Saturday's action.
"I know Danny wanted to show me and the public what he could do, but there was nothing I had not seen before and there was nothing I had not expected from him," Francis said.
"I know he's a strong fighter and one of the best to come out of this country, but I proved I was the better fighter two years ago and my ghost will never leave Danny."
If Williams carried any mental scars at Bethnal Green in his first fight since dislocating his right shoulder last October, he did not have time to show them.
Meehan, whose 23-fight unbeaten record earned him a crack at Williams' Commonwealth crown, did not land a punch.
After the fight, a delighted Williams said: "The way I am punching in the gym anyone I hit will go over. I put it down to the power of prayer and training at altitude."
Frank Warren, who manages and promotes Williams, concurred: "He has not always believed in his own ability - but now he's full of it and so positive."
Trainer Jim McDonnell, former European super-featherweight champion, added: "Danny now realises how good he is - and he can only get better."

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The consumer discretionary sector includes companies that offer goods and services like TV services, dining out, online purchases and home-improvement products that people buy only if they can afford them.This morning we learned that retail sales in July were stronger than expected with a gain of 0.8%. Excluding autos, retail sales rose 0.8%, and, excluding autos and gasoline, they rose 0.9%, also better than expected. This will likely give consumer discretionary stocks a boost in today's trading. Despite weak consumer confidence since the beginning of the "Great Credit Crunch" in late 2007, several stocks in this sector have set all-time highs or multi-year highs since May. As such, Investors should consider booking profits in some of these stocks. My benchmark for the sector is the Consumer Discretionary Sector SPDR Fund ( XLY), which contains 81 stocks. I will be focusing on the top 17 stocks in the fund by index weighting, each of which is 2% or higher. The consumer discretionary sector is undervalued by 1.3%, according to ValuEngine, which is as neutral as you can get based on fundamentals. XLY traded to an all-time high of $46.27 on May 1 after trading as low as $15.85 in March 2009, a gain of 191.9%, which is reason enough to consider booking profits. The daily chart shows that XLY ($44.64) is positive with rising momentum (12x3x3 daily slow stochastic) reading with XLY above its 21-day, 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages at $43.92, $43.54 and $42.28, respectively. My semiannual and annual value levels lag at $39.91 and $36.46 with a weekly pivot at $44.60 and monthly and quarterly risky levels at $47.52 and $50.12.

Julia Roberts vs Kate Middleton: The Great Hair-Off
When I saw a photo of Julia Roberts at last night's August: Osage County premiere, I was struck down with a bad case of hair envy.
It wasn't unlike that time back in October when I saw the Duchess of Cambridge arrive at a 100 Women in Hedge Funds dinner, her long, ombre curls falling on her Jenny Packham gown.
Soon after, a few grey hairs were exposed at a Poppy Appeal event, prompting Her Royal Highness to seek shelter at Rossano Ferretti salon in London, where she reportedly spent six hours getting her hair cut and colored.

Non-native marine species are showing up along the Alaska coastline. While their numbers are small compared to California, where more than 200 marine invasive species are listed, there is reason for concern.
So researchers who track the newcomers have enlisted volunteer reinforcements — the people who live along the coast.
As marine traffic increases, areas such as Ketchikan and Sitka are becoming home to unwanted marine species. In 2010, the tunicate Didemnum vexillum, also know as D. vex or rock vomit, was discovered near Sitka. It interferes with aquaculture operations and destroys native marine species.
D. vex was found during a bioblitz event.
"A bioblitz is a very short, volunteer-led assessment of all the species living in an area," explained Linda McCann, researcher with the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.
In September 2013, Smithsonian researchers partnered with Gary Freitag, Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program agent in Ketchikan, to hold a different kind of bioblitz.
"This time, we turned the bioblitz concept upside down. We don't want to look for everything. We only want to look for the marine invasives," McCann said.
The researchers were also looking for volunteers from the Ketchikan community to help them in their search. For 15 years, SERC researchers have been in Alaska cataloging what should not be living in these waters. Freitag works with the researchers to collect information for their marine invasive species database.
Alaska has 33,904 miles of coastline, more than all other U.S. states combined.
"To survey this coast presents a challenge, due to the vast length of shoreline," said Greg Ruiz, a marine ecologist with SERC. "We're very concerned and interested not only from a scientific point of view but also how management is working to reduce the likelihood of invasions occurring. What we're exploring now is the opportunity to engage citizen scientists to help monitor and detect new invasions."
During the Ketchikan bioblitz, the researchers spent several days cataloging what they found. At the end of their week, on a cool, rainy Saturday, about 30 people showed up for a public workshop to learn how to find the unwelcome marine species.
"We offered some lectures and hands-on lab experience in the morning to help people identify the species of concern. In the afternoon, we took them out in the field and we said, 'See what you can find,'" McCann said.
Volunteers pulled up collecting devices — flat plastic plates attached to bricks that had been submerged three months earlier. Research divers also had glued pennies beneath a city dock as a method of statistically evaluating the volunteers' observing skills.
What did they see? Mostly native tunicates, anemones, segmented worms, bivalves, gastropods, bryozoans, decorator crabs, sea stars and nudibranchs, as well as a few invasive tunicate species — and the pennies.
"Every time I've gone out to a dock, I didn't realize how much is underneath me," said volunteer Krystalee Gabbard. "It is exciting to be able to identify these things that have always been underfoot."
McCann said she hopes participants not only learn about invasive species but also see how they can make a difference.
"The more people we get out, the better. We can't be here all the time, but those who live here can go out any day," she said.
While some volunteers limit their participation to one day, others commit to repeatedly monitoring an area for marine invasive species.
Julie Landwehr, who teaches marine biology and oceanography at Ketchikan High School, said she plans to "adopt a dock" to monitor with her students.
"Invasions are just one element of change going on against a background of very dynamic coastal systems," said Ruiz. "Are non-native species good or bad? We don't really make that distinction. What we try to do is understand what species are established and what effects they're having on the ecology."

Abhinav Anand:
Tattoo lovers can go up to any extent to get themselves a tattoo. The present scenario and off course the advance technology, is now giving them all the options to be a tattoo creator. But yes, be firm and built up your mind, that you are going for a tattoo, because once you start the process there will be no looking back for you. Tattoo lovers are basically the teenagers, but to get a tattoo and that too being a tattoo creator it's really a difficult job, for it needs great tolerance level. Tattoos are actually a permanent mark on your skin that will be left for rest of your life. Off course you can remove the tattoo once you are not satisfied with it, but be aware of the fact that it's going to be much more painful than the time of putting it on your body. Still would suggest you that to get a tattoo go for a professional one, but if you can't get him for whatever reason then you can be a tattoo creator yourself.
Concept of body art tattoos
Tattoos as for now are in great demand. Being a tattoo creator its very necessary to get an idea of the design you are going to get on your body. For example, the color of the tattoo, its shades, ink mixing, the needles and most important the shape of the tattoo. Get an idea for your tattoo by searching on net or consulting a tattoo design book. But for body art tattoo, the scene is bit difficult. Being a tattoo creator it won't be possible for you to get the things done perfectly as this art covers almost half of your body portion to get you the tattoo.
How to get a tattoo on your body
To get an temporary tattoo, very first thing you need is a great tolerance level. For, resources one need a proper latex gloves, one narrow sewing needle, a bottle of 98% rubbing alcohol, an anti-bacterial soap, Indian ink, but acrylic paint is not advisable, a bandage, lotion (to make things easier for you), shaving cream and a razor.
Decide the exact spot of your body where you want to place the tattoo. Get your ink and needle ready for the job.
· Wrap the needle with some string, or you can tie the string to a pencil, which is tightly wrapped.
· Lay out the design, on a clean cloth and the ink so that its very clear which color you want .
· Sterilize each and every material you are going to use.
· Dip the needle into the ink but don't get more than half of your ink covered with it. Just get the tip of it dipped into the ink.
· Get the needle onto your body and prick( be aware as this might hurt you)
· Do this again and again, to darken up the lines of your tattoo.
· To be on a safer side, stop once you are done for 5-10 times.
· Wipe the excess ink on your body spot. (try to sterilize it again and again)
· Continue the same process once again.
· When you are done and the mark is very much visible, take a clean rag and lightly soak it.
· The mark which you have given on your body is permanent.
· Bandage the tattoo with some clean cloth, like cotton.
· Remove the bandage after an hour and wash it with antibacterial soap.
Get it moisture, with some lotion. Repeat the exercise for 3-5times in a day for few weeks
Tips & Warnings
Being a tattoo creator, you might love making tattoo on your body, but it might hurt you. It's advisable to get it done by the professionals. For, tattoo creator it needs great tolerance level, as one has to bear the pain which he is getting from themselves. Be aware of the fact that this will take time and will hurt you. If the needles and other material to be used is not sterilized, that might create a problem for you.

'Suspicious' package on King St. turns out to be umbrella
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Charleston City Police, Charleston Fire, and EMS are clearing King Street after an umbrella was revealed as what was in a 'suspicious' package.
According to dispatch, a call came in around 11:47 PM, in reference to a suspicious package on King Street near George Street and Calhoun Street.
Charleston City Police PIO Charles Francis says a woman returned to her home on Vanderhorst Street from dinner between 11PM and 11:30PM to find a package in front of her house that she says she did not order.
The woman partially opened the package and noticed an odor, so did not continue to open it. She put it in the trunk of her car and found an officer in front of Gilroy's Pizza. She told the officer what she had and the officer notified dispatch.
A bomb squad arrived on scene with a robot. The fire department did an initial test for any hazardous materials and it came out negative.
The robot opened the package to find out that it was an umbrella.
Shortly after 3:00AM officials were clearing the scene.
During the time of the investigation, King Street, George Street, and Calhoun Street were shut down and people in the area were asked to remain inside.

Negotiations continue over long-term US presence in Iraq
Sunday, July 13, 2008 :Negotiations are continuing between the Bush administration and the Iraqi government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on the terms of a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) governing the ongoing presence of US troops in Iraq. The two governments are also formulating the wording of a Strategic Framework agreement, which will detail a long-term military relationship involving some form of US defence guarantee to Iraq and, in return, access to bases and facilities.
The pacts are central to Iraq serving as an American client-state into the indefinite future. The aim of the 2003 invasion was not only to put the countrys oil and gas resources under US domination, but to establish a large military footprint in the heart of the Middle East. Over the past five years, the US military has spent billions of dollars on constructing massive bases in Iraq. Among the most geopolitically significant is the Balad airbase, 70 kilometres north of Baghdad. It has a garrison of some 25,000 military and civilian personnel, hosts hundreds of planes and helicopters and has two upgraded runways capable of landing heavy B-2 bombers.
Bush and Maliki agreed earlier this year to conclude a SOFA by July 31. The agreement would cover such issues as the role and rights of the US military after the present United Nations mandate expires on December 31. The UN resolution gave a veneer of legitimacy to the US occupation, allowing its forces unlimited access to Iraqi land, air and territorial waters, the right to detain Iraqi citizens and immunity from prosecution under Iraqi law.Read More

A Bleak Future
Yes, the self-esteem gurus of modernity have done a fine job. Of course, this is the natural outcome of moral relativism. It would seem, day by day, we are seeing an accelerated breakdown of societal norms.
Sobering story here.

The part of the article that sickened me was "these same kids have a high self-image when it comes to ethics."
What, exactly does self-image have to do with ethics? If something is right, it is right, and if it is wrong, it is wrong--how it makes me *feel* is not a matter for ethics. That's like comparing my ability to speak a language other than my own based on how it tastes to me. There simply is no logical connection between the two concepts.
The interesting thing is that the same folks who rail against "absolutist fundamentalism" when it comes to ethics realize instinctively that some absolutes do exists (otherwise they'd be walking off bridges to prove that gravity too was relative and subject to interpretation).
Of course these kids are dishonest. It's the only way that they can keep these illogical and inconsistent ideas within their minds. If there is no right and no wrong, no black and no white, but simply shades of grey that can be interpreted in whatever way benefits me most, then there is no such thing as truth and I can believe whatever makes me *feel* good.
I'm just glad that my electrician, my surgeon and my pastor all believe in absolutes. The consequences if they did not could be... disappointing.
Thank you again for your wonderful blog and insights.
I remain yours humbly,
Gilbert Marlowe

Thank you Gilbert for reading. You are "absolutely" right! Our Creator set the universe up to run by laws - absolutes - you can no more deny the law of sowing and reaping than you can deny the law of gravity.
Its ludicrous.

Weekend visit to Wells
A pleasant experience staying in an historic building right in the very centre of the lovely city of Wells.
To have a view of the magnificent cathedral whilst lying in bed was a great pleasure. My only slight reservation would be the cost for a hotel that lacked some amenities such as on-site car parking but overall an experience to be recommended.

Parking is always going to be a problem due to location.
Feel the staff could have been more helpful with more useful local information, not just a map pointing to areas which were not suitable for overnight parking. At the front of the hotel the rooms have lots of noise from other local bars.

Couldn't be bettered
This hotel was perfect for our 2 night stay.
A beautiful medieval building where we climbed a steep and narrow staircase to our lovely room. There was fresh drinking water each day plus the usual tea, coffee and biscuits, a good shower and comfortable bed. When our left-over pizza from the excellent Italian restaurant downstairs went missing with the cleaner the next day, another one was instantly cooked fresh for our lunch, which we enjoyed outside in the sun, with a beer, looking at the wonderful cathedral. Every one of the staff could not have been more helpful, morning, noon and night. Thank you for a great stay. (Anyone with a car should note that there is no room for hotel parking, so unload and go and park elsewhere.)

We enjoyed our short stay,the room was quirky ,you have to be slim and fit to climb the very very old steps.The Italian food at the in-house restaurant was excellent.
A Night in Wells
This small hotel situated in the heart of the beautiful City of Wells with an intimate view of the beautiful Cathedral was a lucky find for me.
The whole experience proved to be a delight and I can safely say the food was better than most alleged 5 Star hotels. Dinner was well prepared, succulent and served with good grace. The portions were generous, eschewing the unappealing modern trend of offering tiny portions on large white plates - what the experts I believe term: nouvelle cuisine. The characterful bedroom offered a sumptuous four poster bed with deep welcoming pillows. For those who are prepared to overlook the challenge of finding somewhere to park overnight, I have no hesitation in recommending this delightful little hotel. That said, the walk to car park was worth the effort.

A great place with loads of atmosphere. Well-placed for exploring town.
We had a great stay here - though you do need to be fairly fit & not too plump to get to the top rooms.
On-site restaurant looks good though we didn't try it. Parking a bit of a pain but easily sortable. Pleasant staff and a really good bed!

Great character, lovely service and amazing views.
incredible view of wells cathedral which we could see from our bed!wonderful characterful place
incredible views of magnificent cathedral from our room,friendly staff,excellent food and service,wonderful location and building full of character and charm
Wells for Christmas
The hotel has very limited parking which is in the pub car park opposite.
Access to the hotel was only marred by the town being closed off for the reindeer parade. The hotel had good old fashioned character and I would certainly stay there again.

Mini-AMP is our intensive music education and enrichment program for PreK and half day Kindergarten students. Mini AMP is a unique program at our Dunwoody Center that empowers young children to express themselves very comfortably and naturally through music by immersing them in musical activities. A combination of private lessons, group classes, and music activities offer the ideal balance of a focused introduction to playing an instrument with the pleasure of learning in a friendly, inspiring, social setting. Mini-AMP is an appealing option for families who would like to enroll in a dynamic music education program, but whose busy schedules interfere with commuting to and from the Music Centers. Mini-AMP is designed to be convenient, but more importantly, parents of mini-AMP students can trust their children are somewhere safe and engaged by an effective program and faculty during the early and mid-afternoon.
Mini-AMP operates at CMC Dunwoody whenever the DeKalb County Schools are in session.
Mini-AMP students come 2,3, 4 or even 5 days a week, straight from school to one of our facilities. We offer (free) noontime shuttle service from PreK and half- day programs in the Dunwoody area to our facility on Chamblee-Dunwoody Road. Students who are not currently enrolled in a PreK program are welcome, too; parents of these enrollees simply drop their student off at CMC Dunwoody by 12:30. Parents or guardians pick their children up from our Center by 3:15 pm.
AMP enrollment fees include enrollment and participation in the Music Center's Core Program during the after school hours:
Sample Daily Schedule
Fees cover Core Program instruction/tuition, transportation to the program from selected schools, and all supplies except student music method books and repertoire.

New York City -- Kohl's Corp. is looking to focus on smaller stores as it continues to expand across the country, chairman and CEO Kevin Mansell said in remarks following the company's annual meeting Thursday, according to The Business Journal.
The chain expects to open about 40 stores this year, and 30 of them will be smaller models. Kohl's smaller footprint generally averages about 60,000 sq. ft. as compared with 90,000 sq. ft. for a typical store, the report said.
Mansell said the increase in online shopping, along with more efficient operations and layout, has led Kohl's to focus on the smaller stores. Also, the smaller footprint is better suited for densely populated urban areas.
The report also said that Kohl's is looking all options, including moving out of its current home base of Menomonee Falls, Wis., as it searches for land for a new headquarters. The company has not set a timeline for when it hopes to build a new facility.
The retailer employs about 5,000 employees at its corporate headquarters, a number that has tripled or quadrupled in the last 10 years, Mansell said. The company wants to build new headquarters that look 10 to 20 years down the road and offer room for further expansion even after the headquarters are built.

TWO men are to face trial next month over an alleged drive-by shooting outside a Colchester bar.
Dean Edwards and Michael Cooper will return to Chelmsford Crown Court for what is listed to be a five day trial starting on February 25.
They are both accused of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life outside the TP Sports Bar in Queen Street, Colchester.
Cooper, 40, of Russell Road, Clacton, and Edwards, 38, of Convent Close, Braintree, deny the charge.
There was no application for bail and they were both remanded in custody following a short hearing.
The charges follow an incident outside the bar at around 2.20am on September 15 last year when three shots were allegedly fired.

When You See The Color Red - Poem by Neil Crosby
When you see the color red
Do you see me bloody and dead
When you see the color red
Do you picture me free of dread
What do you see
Do you see yourself hurting me
What do you see
Do you give a chance to be
When you see the color red
Did you see the rose dead
When you see the color red
Do you love me or am I just dead

It was a great opportunity for our students to sharpen their data analysis skills and we thank Mortgage Dex and all the participants and commend them for their excellent effort.
Bangalore, India (PRWEB) June 24, 2014
Jigsaw Academy, the renowned online analytics training academy and Mortgage Dex, a firm that examines real estate trends, policies & financial implications that impact real estate investments are proud to announce the three finalists of the Data Analysis Competition, held for Jigsaw students.
Congrats to Finalist 1-Shyam Anadkat, Finalist 2- Parindsheel Dhillon and Finalist 3-Balaji Athreya. Also special mention to Vaishnavi Reddy. The winners will each receive a scholarship of Rs 15000, Rs 10000 and Rs 5000 respectively. The top performers in the competition will also get a chance to be interviewed for analyst roles in Mortgage Dex.
The objective of the contest was to recommend a good place/zip code to buy property based on the data at hand and was aimed at helping students strengthen their skills in data exploration, analysis and visualization. The students were initially asked to share an approach note for a sample data set. Based on this, fourteen students were invited to proceed further and submit within a ten day timeframe, a more detailed analysis of the real estate data shared with them.
The submissions were then evaluated by Jigsaw mentors and Mortgage Dex and the winners were chosen based on the depth of analysis, tools used, domain knowledge and presentation.
On receiving the submissions, Nikilesh Rao of Mortgage Dex had this to say, "This is great stuff & we see that a lot of work has been put in by students. They have approached the problem methodically and used some amazing visualizations to explain their data stories."
"Collaborating with Mortgage Dex for this competition has been a rewarding experience. It was a great opportunity for our students to sharpen their data analysis skills and we thank Mortgage Dex and all the participants and commend them for their excellent effort," says Gaurav Vohra, CEO of Jigsaw Academy.

Sea turtles belong to the family of reptiles, such as crocodiles, snakes and iguanas. Although they are almost always under water, you can see this beautiful species approaching the beach on full moons as they nest and lay their eggs. Scientists have said that their characteristic shell, also known as a carapace, is part of the defense they have against predators and environment. Take your time to enjoy and learn more about these animals while staying in México. The town of Troncones has established a Sea Turtle Sanctuary to protect newly laid eggs until they are hatched. Stop by Roberto's Bistro and help release baby sea turtles to the ocean.
The nearby city of Zihuatanejo offers a wonderful mixture of Mexican culture, shopping, sightseeing, and dining.

A NAVY lieutenant has described how he cut a line to save a child attached to a drowned woman when an asylum seeker boat smashed into rocks on Christmas Island.
Sub-Lieutenant Jeremy Evain told the inquest in Perth yesterday he was on one of two boats sent from the patrol vessel HMAS Pirie to rescue people after their craft smashed against the rocks off Christmas Island's Rocky Point on December 15 last year.
The sailors battled waves, wind and rain to reach the cliff where the asylum seekers' craft smashed apart.
West Australian Coroner Alastair Hope is conducting the inquest on the deaths of 30 people from Iraq and Iran, and the likely deaths of 20 more people.
Sub-Lieutenant Evain said that as his boat rounded the point he saw the vessel being smashed on the rocks as people clung to it and others floated in the water, screaming for help.
''I observed the sea was throwing debris and people into the cliff face,'' the 22-year-old officer said.
The risk of debris blocking the intakes of the boat's engines meant they had to stand off and throw lines with attached lifebelts to people in the water, then pull them to the boats.
He saw dead bodies in the water, including a middle-aged woman just below the surface who was attached by a line to a child in a lifejacket floating on the surface. To rescue the child, he had to cut the line, he said.
Sub-Lieutenant Evain said he had to ignore cries for help from some people to concentrate on saving those he could.
The coxswain of the second rescue boat, Leading Seaman Jonathan West, said there was a strong smell of diesel and fuel-soaked survivors proved difficult to grasp and pull aboard.
Getting as close to the cliffs as safely possible, he saw men with lifejackets holding women and children afloat and pushing the children towards the rescue boats.
On a return to the Pirie with 10 survivors he noticed two men were hostile to a middle-aged Indonesian man thought to be the master of the vessel. He placed the man at the rear of the boat to defuse the situation.
On a return rescue trip, Leading Seaman West said he counted 16 dead people in the water, including three children and an infant. None of them were wearing lifejackets.
The coroner noted Pirie commanding officer Lieutenant-Commander Mitchell Livingstone had recommended in a report that a better system to prevent the blockage of the sea boats' engine intakes be found.
Commander Livingstone also recommended a recovery line used by kayakers be issued for sea boat use, after the crews found lifebelts tied to lines could be blown back by the wind when thrown to people in the water.
Mr Hope praised Commander Livingstone, Sub-Lieutenant Evain and Leading Seaman West, saying they showed courage in their leadership and actions.

The first half was a struggle again for the Badgers. Jared Berggren was almost non-existent offensively and defensively, scoring only three points (1-for-5) and grabbing one rebound. The Badgers shot an ugly 10-for-27 (37 percent), but were only down one at halftime because it outscored Virginia by six from the 3-point line. The Badgers finished shooting 21-for-55 (38.2 percent) from the field and 8-for-22 (36.4 percent) from 3-point range.
Wisconsin had two players in double figures. Ben Brust led the scoring with 15 points and four rebounds. Jared Berggren scored 12 points, shooting 50 percent from the field on eight shots. Sam Dekker was in foul trouble the whole game and only hit one of his two attempts in 21 minutes.
Bruesewitz used the baby hook to his advantage in the low post and scored six points. Ryan Evans worked hard to get good looks at the basket, but he couldn't finish a lot on those opportunities. Evans scored eight points and had six rebounds but only made 30 percent from the field. For the season, Evans is shooting only 39 percent, worst on the team among players who have started at least two games.
It took Wisconsin almost 35 minutes to get there, but Sam Dekker hit the Badgers first two free-throw attempts on his lone drive to the basket. Wisconsin shot 80% from the line, but again, they didn't get there much because they were too busy swinging the ball around the perimeter looking for an outside shot. One thing the Badgers did well was not turn the ball over, giving the ball away five times to the young Virginia squad.
Wisconsin had a chance to bring the game within one with 32 seconds left, but poor clock management spoiled its last chance. The Badgers took 27 seconds to get a shot off but by then it was too late.
Defense: D
The defense was shaky at best. The Badgers got rubbed off quite a few of Virginia's screens, leading to open jumpers for junior Joe Harris and sophomore forward Darion Atkins. Wisconsin didn't do a good job of boxing out defenders either, which gave Virginia a bevy of second and third chances at shots. The Badgers hung around because they forced 5 turnovers in the first half.
Wisconsin had trouble stopping Harris, who finished 6-for-9 in the first half and scored 13 of Virginia's 24 points. He finished with 22 points, as the 6-6 guard showed why he is a tough guy to defend by making shots with a hand in his face.
The Cavaliers shot 45.7 percent (21-for-46) from the field but the big difference was from the free-throw line. Virginia shot 14-for-17 in the game compared to Wisconsin's 4-for-5. The reason Virginia got to the line often was because the Badgers didn't stop penetration well, leading to a handful of easy layups and dunk opportunities.
The Badgers were outrebounded 18 to 11 in the first half and those problems permeated the second half, getting outrebounded 36-25. Wisconsin did force Virginia turn the ball over 10 times.
Overall: C-
After being held to a season-low 23 points in the first half, Wisconsin finished with 54 points and was in the game until the final buzzer. Unfortunately, staying close isn't going to cut it as the season progresses. The Badgers looked pretty good on both ends of the floor at times, but they weren't boxing out defenders on the defensive glass, which was a big problem.
Back-to-back threes by Dekker and Brust woke up the crowd and gave Wisconsin a 36-31 advantage with 13 minutes left in the game. Just when it looked like Wisconsin would go on a long run, Virginia's defense tightened up. Both teams swapped baskets during the last seven minutes, but Wisconsin didn't stop penetration enough and gave up easy dunks and layups.
The ball just wasn't bouncing the Badgers' way - getting their hands on a lot of loose balls but couldn't quite corral them. The Badgers were down four with 33 seconds left but weren't able to get a shot off.
Traevon Jackson played 32 minutes and looked pretty good on offense, but failed to finish on a few drives to the basket when he had a relatively open lane. Even after Berggren's bad first half he made some big 3-pointers, but he wasn't much of a force in the post.
Game MVP: Ben Brust. Brust kept Wisconsin in the game with his outside shooting, but he was also fighting through screens and pulling down strong rebounds. Brust scored 15 points on 6 of 16 shooting - 3-for-9 from beyond the arc - and hauled in four rebounds. Brust seemed to be the only player that looked like he wanted to shoot when he was open. Brust and Jackson played 63 minutes combined, because Bo Ryan didn't seem to be very happy with George Marshall's defense.

The historic Municipal Auditorium in Shreveport is set to close for major renovations in just a few short weeks, but not before one last big tribute to the man and the music that helped make "the Muni" such a landmark.
"A Last Evening with the King" will feature Shreveport native DJ Fontana, who met Elvis Presley during his fateful stint at the Hayride and went on to become Elvis' drummer for the next 14 years.
Fontana last performed at the Municipal some 15 years ago.
An onstage presentation from the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame will take place during the event.
The tribute show will also feature award-winning Elvis tribute artist Donny Edwards, billed as "The next best thing to the King," along with the Fever Tribute Band and the southern gospel group, The Blackwood Quartet."
The Municipal Auditorium is closing in April for renovations.
"A Last evening with The King" will take place on March 28, at 7 p.m. at the Municipal. Click here for ticket information.
Organizers of the tribute show say this will be "the last opportunity for DJ (Fontana) to see and play at the venue in its original condition."
Bryan Wooley, Executive Director of Double J Events, says, "In talking with 'Friends of the Municipal" president Louise Burton and SMG (the company which manages the municipal), we determined that the best way for the municipal to enter its new phase, was with a tribute to one of its most famous performers. Elvis' performances at the Municipal helped grow his popularity beyond Memphis, which resulted in historic ties between Elvis, Shreveport and Municipal Auditorium."

Best Of :: Food & Drink
In a town rife with excellent Mexican food, it's almost too easy to overlook tapas. Well, ignore no more, because Mi Luna brings the Espana with panache to spare. Order a variety of the smaller, affordable dishes like the cheese plate or the pulpa a la vinagreta (marinated octopus in a sherry vinaigrette) and share them around your table for the fullest tapas experience. Or else get one of the elaborate larger entrees like the pasta con mariscos (angel-hair with shrimp, scallops and mussels in herb lemon olive oil) and let everyone else fend for themselves.
On Saturday afternoon, Burns Bar BQ is party central in Acres Homes. The crowds line up when the place opens, and they never let up until the ribs are gone. Burns Bar BQ serves their ribs well done under a sweet and subtle glaze of sauce and smoke. They're the best in the city. Patriarch Roy Burns grew up in Midway, Texas. He sold barbecue from a smoker on the side of the road until arthritis slowed him down. Fourteen years ago, he opened this restaurant and brought in some family members to help out. His brisket falls apart on the way to your mouth; it's as soft and wet as pot roast. If you judge it by the standards of white barbecue, then you won't get it. Beef that isn't falling apart simply isn't done enough according to the black East Texas aesthetic. Carolina barbecue is whole-hog, slow-smoked to stringy mush; the black East Texas style does the same thing with beef, which was always cheaper and more plentiful in Texas. Put some of Roy Burns's falling-apart brisket on a bun with barbecue sauce, pickles and onions, and think of it as Texas's answer to a Carolina pulled-pork sandwich. Suddenly, you'll understand.

At Under the Volcano, you won't be burdened with tacky mint syrups or low-rent spirits. Here, they do this Southern drink right. Watch in amazement as your bartender meticulously crushes a heaping handful of mint into your glass with a long prod, splashes on some top-shelf Kentucky bourbon and kisses it with just the right amount of sugar, suga. It's an exquisite spirit, perfect for drinking on the porch on a hot day.
The huge awning outside this classic little joint on the southwest side announces that Cafe Miami is the "King of Black Beans." In this town, that's no mean feat, and the fact is, the restaurant deserves the title. Also, try a basket of fried plantains and some yuca relish bathed in lime and cilantro. They will leave your taste buds both tantalized and titillated. Other favorites include tasty Cuban sandwiches, mind-blowing ropa vieja and steaks slathered in garlic paste. Follow it all up with some smooth-as-velvet flan. This stuff heals bodies faster than a splint ever could.
Can't imagine hot coffee on Saturday morning without hot, gooey, fruit-filled kolaches? Then you owe an homage to the Original Kolache Shoppe. Fifty years ago, the fresh, doughy Czech pastries called kolaches were a treat you found in the homes of Eastern European immigrants and their ancestors, not in bakeries or restaurants. Beginning in 1956, this little East End bakery started putting kolaches on Houston's breakfast table. Baked fresh six days a week, their kolaches are still yeasty and light with a wonderfully fluffy texture, just like in the good old days. They bake an assortment of fruit-filled kolaches as well as the sausage-and-cheese-stuffed "pig in a blanket" variety. For a real eye-opening breakfast, try the ones made with the jalapeno sausage.
Once, there was a convenience store with the wonderfully cryptic name "Christian's Totem" that was famous for its awesome burgers. Unfortunately, owner Steve Christian removed the convenience store shelves, expanded and renamed it Christian's Tailgate Bar & Grill. (A religious sports bar?) But lucky for us, Christian didn't screw up the burger. You get a hand-formed patty of never-been-frozen, freshly ground beef served on a perfectly toasted bun with just the right amount of lettuce and tomato, artfully wrapped in tissue paper and balanced on the edge of a red plastic basket full of fries. Jalapenos are extra and highly recommended.

Type of Document Dissertation Author McCall, Alecia Michelle URN etd-04262012-121452 Title Synthesis, Cellular Studies, and Computational Analysis of Porphyrin and BODIPY Conjugates with Affinity for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department Chemistry Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Vicente, Graca Committee Chair Chen, Bin Committee Member Smith, Kevin M. Committee Member Stout, Rhett Whitman Committee Member Warner, Isiah M. Committee Member Keywords
- cellular studies
- molecular docking
- synthesis
- bodipy
- porphyrin
Date of Defense 2012-04-16 Availability restricted AbstractChapter 1 is a description of the basic fundamental concepts of porphyrins and BODIPYs, (including synthetic methodologies), a general mechanism of the processes of EGFR, and computational concepts that are elaborated upon in future chapters.
Chapter 2 is a discussion solely on the porphyrins that were synthesized to be used as fluorophores for EGFR-targeted conjugates, both peptidic and non-peptidic. The porphyrins were primarily synthesized via the Lindsey method as well as by O-alkylation of tetrahydroxy porphyrins. Synthesis of PEG linkages are discussed as well through three methodologies.
Chapter 3 is a presentation of the synthesis, characterization, cellular studies, and computational analysis of porphyrin-tyrphostin conjugates that will be used as potential in vivo imaging agents for CRC. Two tyrphostin molecules that have affinity for EGFR, the BMNs and quinazolines, were synthesized and conjugated to PEG and or a porphyrin-PEG.
Chapter 4 is a report of the development of porphyrin-peptide conjugates using two peptides, EGFR L1 (a six amino acid peptide) and EGFR L2 (a twelve amino acid peptide). The peptides differ in charge, length, and hydrophobic character. Porphyrin-peptide conjugates were synthesized via SPS or SNS methods using typical peptide coupling agents. Cellular studies are also reported.
Chapter 5 is a presentation of the synthesis and characterization of novel BODIPY-peptidomimetic conjugates. The peptidomimetic was designed computationally. Two methods of conjugation are described: SNS with a tert-butyl ester protected peptidomimetic, and SPS. This work was done in collaboration with Professor S. Jois at University of Louisiana-Monroe.

Foreign Devils, Benign Monsters: Westerners (and Other Foreigners) in Thai Buddhist CosmographiesPeleggi, Maurizio - National University of Singapore
2011-10-22 11:00:00
Ann Arbor, MI - University of Michigan - Museum of Art Stern Auditorium
Duration: 01:09:47
Images of Europeans, as well as Middle Easterners and Chinese, appear frequently in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Thai illuminated manuscripts and temple murals. Their representation is not surprising in view of the establishment of communities of foreign traders in Thailands royal capital since the 1600s. But more than the standard iconography of these figures of the Other, it is the context in which they appear Buddhist cosmographies and narrativesthat calls for examination. For what reason are Dutch and English sailors depicted navigating the cosmic ocean, and French and Arab horsemen riding in the army of Mara, the Buddhas enemy? This talk proposes that in a visual culture whose raison détre was the propagation of Buddhist ethical precepts and metaphysical tenets, the representation of strangers, while reflecting the historical realities of early-modern world encounters, partook of a cultural strategy of naturalization, and hence neutralization, of these human Others as an unthreatening presence in the Thai universe.

In August of last year, we got word that Amazon was going to enter the fairly new Android game console market. The device would help the company get a better foothold in the living room by offering a device that played games, movies and music. We haven't heard much about it since then, but a recent report indicates that the project is still alive.
VG24/7 reports that Amazon and its subsidiary - Lab 126 - are still hard at work on the rumored Android game console. According to VG24/7's sources, the console is being built to compete directly with the new consoles from Sony and Microsoft as well as consoles from Ouya and MadCatz.
So, what will Amazon's console look like? It's said that it currently looks like a PSone with sharp edges, but that design will surely change before launch. Amazon doesn't want to be caught with a hardware design that seems old fashioned compared to its competitors and will likely come up with something similar to its Kindle design.
As for its specs, all we know is that it will likely use Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoCs and cost less than $300. If Amazon uses a Snapdragon 800 or the new 805, we could have a pretty powerful games console on our hands. Of course, the quality of the games would still be dependent on the developers themselves.
Speaking of which, Amazon has its own game development studio as well as an extensive set of developer tools for Android game developers. If Amazon was smart, it would combine the two to help bring exclusive games to its device that really sell the hardware. The competition seems content to just have tablet games on their consoles so Amazon has a chance to do something special here, but it's really up to how open Amazon wants to be. If it lets anybody publish games on the device, we might end up with another Ouya.
That being said, Amazon still has a while to get this right. While there's no specific mention of a release date, the console will likely not see a release before summer.

As they say, "Good things come to those who wait." So far, it has been an unusually dry and mild winter on Mt. Hood, but cold temperatures and snow have now returned to Timberline in a big way. In the past 72 hours, the ski area received 22 inches of snow and the forecast is for this current winter weather pattern to continue through the weekend. This snow fall has allowed the ski area to open the trails in the Still Creek Basin area and operate the Jeff Flood Chairlift for the first time this winter. Conditions are excellent and skiers and snowboarders couldn't be happier!

On Wednesday, the Washington Post endorsed James Webb's "independent-minded challenge" running as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate against Sen. George Allen. If ever an endorsement has seemed less necessary to identify a newspaper's position on a federal election, I'm not sure what it is. To match the endorsement, Wednesday's Post had a classic Webb-fanzine story on the front of the Metro section.
The Metro section article was titled "Webb Is Reluctant To Advertise Duty: Veteran Blasts Allen's Public Comments." In a typical display of utter shamelessness, Michael Shear and Tim Craig reported "Webb said it is improper to use military service in an overtly political way." Webb's quote: "I don't think it's right to use someone's service directly for a political reason." This article should have been laughed away from the Metro desk. Webb's biography as a Vietnam veteran and eight-month Navy Secretary under Reagan has been his constant, everyday calling card in this race. The man with the motto "Born Fighting" on every bumper sticker and yard sign? Need we remind the Washington Post of the Webb campaign's first TV ad? It went like this:
RONALD REAGAN: One man who sat where you do now is another member of our administration, assistant secretary of defense James Webb, the most decorated member of his class. James' gallantry as a Marine officer in Vietnam won him the Navy Cross and other decorations...
ANNOUNCER: Soldier, scholar, leader. Now Jim Webb is running for Senate.
Shameless. Ridiculous. Completely in the tank. Making fools of themselves. The Washington Post.
The article's also comical considering Webb's advocacy of left-wing veterans campaigning against the Iraq War, an interesting take for a man endorsed by John "Reporting for Duty" Kerry. (Actually, Webb trashed Bush's lack of service and Kerry's "radical" anti-veteran atrocity speeches at least twice in 2004.) And Webb drew major attention to the military record of Marine hero/Iraq atrocity-charging specialist John Murtha in the New York Times in January, attacking our CNSNews.com colleagues.
Has there been a Post story on Webb that hasn't mentioned him as veteran and Navy Secretary? That the Shear & Craig unpaid publicist team would write an article based on Webb being "uncomfortable talking about his personal story" is comical. After publicizing Webb being offended that Sen. George Allen's "repeated mentions of the death of a constituent's son in Iraq," telling voters the man's dog tags "hang from his dresser mirror," Shear & Craig once again lay out the old Webb resume:
"He is a decorated veteran, a former Navy secretary and a prolific author. Despite making his opposition to the Iraq war the centerpiece of his campaign, most of Webb's commercials make no mention of his military experience, and his reluctance to dwell on that past has frustrated his supporters. Though he wears combat boots to honor his Marine son Jimmy, Webb rarely talks about his son."
Those boots were displayed in the Washington Post and the New York Times (along with Allen's cowboy boots) the day after the Virginia contenders met on NBC's Meet the Press. . They were prominently featured, in color, in a photo of a cross-legged Webb on the front of Wednesday's Style section.
The headline as the story continued inside the section was "Webb Leery of Parading Military Duty in Contest." You had to marvel at this sentence: "Webb's comments came during an hour-long interview in which he reiterated his desire to serve in the Senate. Allen declined a similar invitation." Who on Earth would advise him to accept, considering the Post's junkyard-dog coverage of this race?
(Inside the Metro section, Rhonda Winfield, the woman who gave Sen. Allen her son's dog tags expressed outrage that Webb would criticize Allen for mentioning her son Jason on the trail. "He is my voice in a way I cannot be.")
Shear & Craig also make the odd claim that in the midst of Webb's TV slime-a-thon on "Macaca" and Allen's scandalous "stock options" non-disclosure, Webb doesn't see himself as getting personal:
Although his campaign advisers and ads have hammered Allen's personal ethics, Webb has often frustrated advisers by refusing to attack Allen personally. Webb said he is uneasy making that case for his candidacy.
"This is not personal, for me, it's not personal," he stressed.

I'm afraid the latter.

Small business execs weigh in on Obamacare
Regardless of the impact of the Affordable Care Act, the members of the board of directors of the Council of Small Business Executives (COSBE) are remarkably bullish about their prospects for 2013.
According to a new BizTimes survey, 74.1 percent of the respondents say 2013 will be a "good" year for their company. Only 11.1 percent are forecasting a "bad" year.
Meanwhile, 88.9 percent of the executives are forecasting growth in their company's revenues in 2013. Of those expecting revenue growth, nearly 15 percent are expecting growth of more than 20 percent.
Fifty percent of the respondents plan to add to their workforce this year, while 46.2 percent will maintain the status quo for staffing and only 3.8 percent plan to cut staff.
Some other interesting results in the survey included:
- 55.6 percent plan to hire temporary help in 2013.
- 51.9 percent plan to invest in significant new technology or equipment.
- 66.7 percent have a social media strategy.
- 59.3 percent have a leadership succession plan or exit strategy.
Twenty-seven of the 28 members of the COSBE board responded to the survey.
The COSBE is administered by the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) and includes small business executives from a wide range of industries.
Many of the COSBE board members are not certain about how Obamacare will affect their companies or how their firms will respond.
"We are under 50 employees. However, that does not necessarily mean we will not have an issue based upon the formula utilized to determine your FTE (full-time equivalent) count, so at this time we are going to continue to offer benefits to our employees as usual," said Dale Boehm, president and chief executive officer at Caspian Technologies in Waukesha.
"It's very hard to tell how Obamacare will impact our company. We're listening closely. We have strong benefits so all our employees are offered a comprehensive suite of health care benefits. What we worry about is the increased cost of providing those benefits. A significant increase on the cost of providing benefits will create a hardship that will impact the organization and our employees," said Paul Borawski, CEO of Milwaukee-based ASQ.
"We are in the process of investigating what this will actually mean for our industry. We have always offered an attractive benefit package in order to attract top talent. That will not change," said Jeff Tredo, principal at Korb Tredo Architects in Milwaukee.
"We are having an outside firm prepare an analysis on the potential impact of Obamacare and what our various options might be," said Paul Sweeney, owner at PS Capital Partners LLC in Milwaukee.
"We anticipate no direct impact from Obamacare on the hiring and capital investment decisions of the firm. We are currently experiencing an indirect impact as a result of our clients' unwillingness to expand in a period of such legislative and regulatory uncertainty," said Thomas Luken, CPA and president at Kolb+Co. S.C., Brookfield.
Bottom line: if you're not yet exactly sure how Obamacare will affect your company, you have plenty of good company.
