Photo Gallery: Former JPL worker claims firing over intelligent design
LOS ANGELES - A lawsuit about whether the Jet Propulsion Laboratory wrongfully terminated David Coppedge has turned into an argument on whether the court can bar media to protect the privacy rights of witnesses, and whether those testifying can be asked about their religious beliefs in the civil trial.
Former JPL employee David Coppedge claims he was fired in 2011 due to his expressed belief in intelligent design over the theory of evolution.
The agency, which contracts with NASA, said Coppedge was laid off during a routine reduction in staff where 246 employees were let go; one in three employees working on the Cassini Mission with Coppedge were laid off during the same round of job cuts.
On the trial's second day, JPL's attorney, Jim Zapp, again asked Judge Ernest Hiroshige to exclude media from the courtroom; Zapp said he was concerned that witnesses may have to testify as to whether they pray and, if so, to whom.
"With all due respect to the media, I think they should be excluded all together for the privacy of the witnesses - they didn't bring this lawsuit," Zapp said. "This is a violation of their Constitutional right to privacy."
The judge will make the decision on whether to keep the courtroom open at 10 a.m. today .
William J. Becker Jr., Coppedge's attorney, objected to the request by JPL attorneys to seal the courtroom.
"I do not see this as a privacy issue, it's a gag order and an effort to blind the public," Becker said.
"What troubles me is that the public will hear half of the case and not understand what this case is about, if they only hear half the testimony," Becker said. "JPL doesn't want anything to come out in this case."
The effort to exclude the media is just one addendum to the legal battle between JPL and Coppedge in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom.
Lawyers for JPL want to exclude testimony about respective faith of each witness. The court will decide today on whether questions of faith will be allowed.
Coppedge's attorney said those questions are relevant to his client's discrimination claim.
Denying the request of the defendant's attorneys, Hiroshige will allow testimony on NASA and JPL's expressed mission, which is to find the origins of the Universe.
"If there is a policy to explore the origins of life ... I think that comes in (to the case), because it goes to what his intent was," Hiroshige said.
Outside Tuesday's legal dueling over what should be included in the testimony, attorneys lobbed opening salvos in Coppedge's civil case.
In opening statements Tuesday, Becker said JPL violated his client's rights when the agency told Coppedge he could talk about intelligent design and politics only at the behest of his co-workers.
"Mr. Coppedge was barred from engaging in the same type of religious and political expression enjoyed by other JPL employees," Becker said.
Zapp described Coppedge as someone other employees found combative and difficult to work with.
"Mr. Coppedge was his own worst enemy," Zapp said. "The issue was the way Mr. Coppedge conducted himself ... This case was about an employee that had no self-awareness."
Coppedge was laid off from JPL in 2011 after working as a full-time staffer since 2003; he had worked as a private contractor with JPL from 1996 to 2003.
His advocacy of intelligent design, as well as his strong faith in God as an evangelical Christian, was never a secret, Zapp said.
But problems for Coppedge began to mount when he started confronting co-workers about intelligent design and trying to convince them to watch DVDs advocating the controversial theory, Zapp said.
Coppedge lent the intelligent design video "Unlocking The Mystery of Life" to co-worker Margaret Weisenfelder, the court heard Tuesday; the DVD had a note attached with the names of fellow employees and the words "try again."
The note led Weisenfelder to believe Coppedge was keeping track of co-workers responses to the DVDs, Zapp told the court.
"In looking at this, Ms. Weisenfelder thought Mr. Coppedge might be targeting people," Zapp said.
Weisenfelder told Coppedge's supervisor, Greg Chin, about the DVDs and said she was "tired of David talking about politics," according to attorneys for both sides.
During a meeting on March 2, 2009, Chin told Coppedge he was "harassing co-workers" by confronting them with his religion, and said he should no longer talk about religion and politics with them unless they broached the topic, Becker said.
"Mr. Coppedge was being told he was the only employee at JPL who didn't enjoy political and religious freedom," Becker said.
Coppedge responded to Chin by saying: "This gets into my rights, this gets into my civil rights, and I think you may be creating a hostile work environment by your tone and your comments," Becker told the court.
Coppedge filed his suit in April, 2009, one month after his confrontation with Chin.

Committee To Decide On Syracuse Recruit's ReleaseAP , Associated Press
Jun. 6, 1996 5:07 PM ET
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) _ The Collegiate Commissioners Association will decide whether Syracuse basketball recruit Jason Hart can break his commitment to attend the university.
Marie Robbins, associate commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, said she had received reports from Hart and Syracuse.
The association's steering committee will convene during the CCA's annual meeting at Spokane, Wash., on June 24-28 and Hart's case is on the docket, she said.
Hart, considered one of the top 50 prep players in the nation, is a 6-foot-2 point guard at Inglewood High School in Los Angeles. He signed a letter of intent to play at Syracuse in November.
Now, Hart has said he wants to remain on the West Coast to be near his older brother, Jadifi, who suffers from a kidney disease.
Syracuse athletic director Jake Crouthamel and coach Jim Boeheim dispute Hart's motivation. Boeheim has said Jadifi Hart's kidney disease was already at a serious stage when Hart signed.
Boeheim thinks Hart merely wants to attend UCLA, which showed no interest in him until its top point guard recruit, Olujimi Mann, failed to qualify academically.
Crouthamel restated Wednesday that Syracuse will not let Hart out of his commitment.
Without a release, Hart would have to sit out two years before playing at a Division I school. Even with a release, he would have to miss one season.
Hart's appeal, if successful, would allow him to play next season. If denied, Hart could then turn to the CCA's appeals committee, Robbins said.

Fort Washakie School/Community Library wins Giant Step award
-Robin Levin, John Washakie, Lesley Boughton & Cathy Gervais. Dana Harr not pictured.
School Library Journal (SLJ), in partnership with Thomson Gale, part of Thomson Learning, names Fort Washakie School/Community Library and Technology Center (WY) and Far Rockaway High School (NY) co-winners of the 2007 Giant Step Award. Launched in 2000, the Giant Step Award recognizes a school and public library that has significantly improved its programs or services and greatly impacted student learning and achievement. Each winner will be presented with a $5,000 check during an award ceremony during the American Libraries Association's annual conference in Washington, DC.
Wyoming's Fort Washakie School/Community Library and Technology Center is one of the most impressive in the nation, but this combination school-and-public library on the Wind River Indian Reservation hasn't always been the thriving library and education center that it is today, with four full-time staff including Robin Levin, Dana Harr, John Washakie, and Cathy Gervais. Six years ago, when then-District Superintendent Karl Berlin decided to build a new library, his vision went beyond creating a more inviting space for students. At the time, the school's media center was very small, had only four computers, a limited collection, bookshelves that blocked the sunlight and a recessed reading area nicknamed "the pit." "I wanted to do something for the community," he says. What Berlin had in mind was a hybrid-a school-and-public library.
The 320 students at the K-8 school-nearly all of whom are members of the Shoshone tribe-also faced major challenges. Most struggled with reading and English-language skills and the majority came from very low-income families faced with staggering unemployment statistics.
Berlin received immediate support from Wyoming's Department of Education, the Shoshone Tribal government and business councils, and Fremont County School District No. 21, and together they constructed a 10,000-square-foot addition to the school. The $500,000 wing (financed mostly with state funds) now houses the Eastern Shoshone Culture Center, a distance-learning lab, an 8,000-square-foot library open to students and the public, and a computer lab with 42 networked computers.
This giant step has resulted in a thriving library and center for education for both children and adults. Now the library is always buzzing with people: tribal elders share their stories with young children as part of the summer reading program; a grandmother sends e-mails to her grandson serving in Iraq; and parents come to consult the ever-growing Native American reference collection. As the library's circulation steadily increases, so does student achievement. Most of the youngest students are doing well, and this year, more than 50 percent of third-grade readers (more than twice the previous amount) scored proficient or above on state exams.

New director at Carbon County
Kristin Herr became the new library director of the Carbon County Library System on April 30. She has been in the library field since 1992. Her first job was at her hometown library in Valley Center, Kansas. Since then, she has worked a variety of jobs in the library field: airline librarian, cataloger, business & technology reference librarian and most recently a branch manager in Lapel, Indiana. She received both her undergraduate degree in Business Administration and her master in Library Science from Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas.
"I enjoy new challenges and being the director of a county wide system is a brand new experience for me," Herr said. "I knew right away that I would really like working in Carbon County as everyone is easy to get along with and has a positive attitude. Over the next several months, I hope to get familiar with CCLS's services. I want to find ways to increase circulation and offer more family programs. One of my top priorities is to get regular courier service to the seven branches. We are also working on going out into the community more. We have already had a booth at the local job fair and we will find more venues for outreach."

Gallery: Cold case victims and suspects
SOUTH PASADENA - Nearly 33 years have passed since Donnella Jean Coultas vanished carrying just $50 and a credit card.
Called "Jeanie" by family members, Coultas grew up in Baldwin Park. She was the oldest child of Ralph and Nancy Schuman.
When Coultas vanished on Dec. 18, 1979, she left behind a 2-year-old, her husband and a family seeking answers and justice. Sheriff's detectives investigators suspect she's been dead ever since.
Although the case has long gone cold, homicide investigators will take another look at the file officials said Monday.
"The case speaks for itself," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Tim Miley said. "Young mother, marital problems, disappears with no resources to support herself."
Just prior to her disappearance, Miley said Coultas told a friend she was tired of fighting and was going to leave her husband.
But when she vanished, Coultas didn't take her 2-year-old son, her purse or wedding ring, Miley said. A credit card in her possession was never used, he added.
Coultas' relatives have said she would not abandon her son, Matthew.
Jeanie's husband Leonard declined to comment for this story. In 2000 he said a fight between him and his wife was just like any other couple's. But when it escalated, he said she picked up a rock and hit him. He ended up with a cut lip.
She ran out and threw her ring, he added.
The argument apparently stemmed from a hunting trip.
Leonard left on the trip two days before his wife disappeared without asking for Jeannie's approval, Miley said.
He reported her missing to South Pasadena police the morning of Dec. 19. She was wearing a light blue sweater set, blue Capri pants and white tennis shoes when she left.
Coultas has said he doesn't know why his wife would leave and not come back.
"I went through four to five years of terrible grief. The whole thing to me is a lot of bad memories. I tried everything I can to find the woman," he said.
According to relatives, Jeannie was working as an executive secretary when she met Leonard Coultas. It was her second marriage. The couple lived in Alhambra for several months then moved to South Pasadena.
South Pasadena police treated the case as a missing person's case for nearly two years. In 1981 it was transferred to Sheriff's homicide, but by then Jeannie's trail was cold.
For years, Nancy Schuman, Jeannie's mother, would call detectives, make inquiries through the Department of Motor Vehicles, send fliers to various police departments and contact her daughter's former employers and friends.
Schuman died in June, not knowing what happened to her daughter.
"She was hoping to hold on though," Ralph Schuman said.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.

AAMFT-CA Division
In January, 1993, the Northern California Division for Marriage and Family Therapy and the Southern California Division for Marriage and Family Therapy merged to form one statewide organization that is now called American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, California Division (AAMFT-CA).
Although AAMFT-CA is incorporated as a separate entity, this state based association operates technically in accordance with the regulations of the charter agreement and philosophically as an extension of the AAMFT Central Office. As such, the benefits and resources provided by AAMFT-CA supplement what is offered to all AAMFT members. Additionally, AAMFT-CA Division leaders attend bi-yearly AAMFT Leadership Training; utilize the services of Central office staff and board members for resources and assistance; and designate Division direction based on AAMFT guidance.
The national support capacity provided by this close alignment with AAMFT and the opportunity to contribute to the evolution of our profession in a far reaching and encompassing manner distinguishes AAMFT-CA as a visionary and cutting edge state level association.
AAMFT-CA Mission Statement
- to promote the identification, practice and the integrity of the profession of marriage and family therapy
- to achieve parity with other mental health providers
- to encourage professional excellence amongst marriage and family therapists
- to assure ethical practice and benefit to the society which we serve
Beyond serving as the national association Division in California, AAMFT-CA is dedicated to understanding and working with both the unique potential and the challenges that are a part of the MFT professional culture in California. The CA Division's Vision, Core Values and Strategic Plan reflect our commitment to advancing and shaping the MFT profession in California.
- AAMFT-CA will grow and gain recognition based on its own merit.
- AAMFT-CA will establish an organized, internal structure in which resources are strategically allocated to achieve and uphold objectives that have emerged from within a designated set of core values.
- AAMFT-CA will develop into an association in which active, on-going communication with membership will promote programs driven by relevancy, involvement, diverse membership representation and collaborative efforts.
- AAMFT-CA will distinguish itself as the state association that embodies, in partnership with AAMFT, the national support capacity to advance and unify the profession on a broad scope basis.
Core Values
- Embodying a culture of openness and inclusion
- Excellence in service to members
- Excellence in the provision of Marriage and Family Therapy services
- Excellent and distinct training in Marriage and Family Therapy
- Honoring diverse needs in clinical practice, research, education and administration
- Integrity evidenced by ethical and honest behavior
- Promoting innovation and advancing knowledge of the profession.
- Promoting Marriage and Family Therapy as a separate and distinct theoretical orientation of clinical practice
Strategic Plan
The MFT profession will be comprised of and known as competent, ethical, clinically informed and relationally based mental health professionals. This includes: 1. Dissemination of the MFT culture. 2. Targeting current and future licensees, educational infrastructures (faculty and students), regulatory environment, employer base (mental health system), payers and the public.
Goal 1: SHAPING THE PROFESSION
MFT's will share a unified identity and common understanding of the core scope and practice of Marriage and Family Therapy.
- Provide a national perspective for the BBS
- Build commitment and professional identity among MFT licensees
- Build community among faculty of MFT training programs
- Build commitment and identity among MFT students.
- Build commitment and professional identity among MFT interns.
Goal 2: ADVANCING THE PROFESSION
Public, payers and employers will respect and utilize MFT's.
- Represent MFT's at state level mental health policy and programs.
- Increase public and payer's awareness of MFT's as uniquely qualified, comprehensive mental health professionals
- Increase employment opportunities for MFT's in public mental health.
Goal 3: EMBODYING THE PROFESSION
AAMFT- CA will be known as the link with the profession on a national level.
- Build a strong collaborative relationship with AAMFT and promote the strengths of the California Division's affiliation with AAMFT to membership, public/private policy makers, and the general public.
- Build a strong collaborative relationship with other professional mental health organizations.
Goal 4: DEMONSTRATING ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE
- Recruit and develop a diverse group of new organizational leaders throughout AAMFT-CA
- Increase opportunities for membership participation
- Provide educational opportunities and services that enhance members' abilities to practice effectively (as acknowledged by members).
- Create diversity in membership by building confidence within the association that AAMFT-CA is an open and inclusive culture.

Also, there is insertion by an aponeurosis anterior to M. adductor mandibular posterior as stated above.
It is covered by an aponeurosis, and in part by the great gluteal.
Anterior to the acetabulum the origin is aponeurotic, and the edge of this aponeurosis passes over the proximal end of the femur.
Fibers attach to the dorsal and ventral side of the aponeurosis.
Part of the aponeurosis becomes tendonlike in the middle of M. pterygoideus ventralis and separates its two divisions.
The aponeurosis is the same that gives origin to the fibers of pars lateralis.
In the pig, and especially in the horse, it passes further upwards, to arise from the aponeurosis of the coccygeal muscles.
The lateral tendon of M. pseudotemporalis superficialis converges with the aponeurosis.
All of the fibers of the muscle insert on the posteroventral surface of the aponeurosis before it divides.
The aponeurosis extends about three-fifths of the distance along the muscle and it is dorsal or superficial to all of the fibers.
aponeurosis ap·o·neu·ro·sis (āp'ə-nu-rō'sĭs, -nyu-)
A sheetlike fibrous membrane resembling a flattened tendon that serves as a fascia to bind muscles together or to connect muscle to bone.

Never Shout Never's Chistofer Drew has built a career on doing exactly as he pleases and it seems the free-wheelin' lifestyle may have finally caught up with him. While speaking with TheGunzShow last night Drew revealed that last week's bust for marijuana possession resulted in his second felony offense, putting all international touring plans in jeopardy for the foreseeable future. Click here to hear the interview, or look below to read a transcript. We wish Drew the best as he tries to better himself moving forward.
I was totally humbled by this last week, it was just really intense. I got arrested and I might not be able to go overseas for a very long time, and that was kind of my whole plan for the summer, was to play these out of country shows, and maybe do some time exploring them. So I had a really awesome plan for that, but I got arrested and I have two felonies under my belt. I've got like 10 attorneys on it right now, so they're working it out for me the best they can, but it's looking like we're probably going to have to cancel our South American tour, our Mexican tour, and a couple other things. So I've just been very humbled and I've been trying to get back to … I guess the reasons why I still do this.
I've stopped taking hard drugs, and I was taking quite a few for a long time. I realized that it was kind of pushing away the people that I love, and that's the last thing that I've ever wanted to do.

ARCADIA >> Monrovia High School knew it was getting a special athlete when senior Kurt Scoby decided to transfer to the Wildcats earlier this year.
They saw how unique Friday.
Scoby rushed for 292 yards and five touchdowns and Monrovia overwhelmed host Arcadia en route to a 49-7 victory over the Apaches in a nonleague game that finished with a running clock in the fourth quarter.
Senior quarterback Deshawn Potts accounted for 181 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown run, for the Wildcats, who improved to 2-0. Monrovia began the week ranked No. 1 in the area and in the CIF-Southern Section Mid-Valley Division.
Senior Joey Harmon threw for 198 yards and a touchdown for Arcadia, which slipped to 1-1. The Apaches began the week ranked No. 8 in the area.
"It was all to my (offensive) line," said Scoby, who had three touchdown runs and 119 yards rushing in the first quarter. "I can't thank my line enough. It was all them.
"We wanted to improve coming off last week. It was great, but without my teammates, I can't do anything."
Scoby accounted for himself quite well, scoring four touchdowns in the first half to stake Monrovia to a 35-7 lead.
The senior, who played at St. Paul last season, gave the Wildcats a 21-0 lead in the first quarter with runs of 20, 50 and 21 yards.
Scoby, after Arcadia made it 21-7 early in the second, followed with a 55-yard run for a 28-7 advantage with 5:31 left in the half.
Monrovia, which beat Ayala, 21-13, last week, had 342 yards in the first half, 198 coming on runs from Scoby. The Wildcats finished with 562 and outrushed Arcadia, 499-65.
"It's a team effort," Monrovia coach Ryan Maddox said. "He ran hard, but the line did a great job. We look for some greats things from both."
Monrovia's Kameron Johnson, who rushed for 72 yards, made it 35-7 with a 2-yard run at 3:16 of the second quarter. He set up the score with a 50-yard run to the 5.
Scoby and Potts sealed it in the third quarter, running for touchdowns of 94 and 64 yards, respectively.
Arcadia's only score came early in the second quarter when Harmon tossed short to Nico Cantos, who broke a tackle at the 50 and scored on a 60-yard catch-and-run that made it 21-7 with 8:49 left in the half.
But Arcadia, which had 256 yards, could do little else.
"There are a lot of things we need to clean up," Arcadia coach Andrew Policky said. "We did some things better in the second half, but never consistent, outside of the one big play. We have a lot of things we have to work on."

To produce a smartphone for under £100 you must surely have to cut some corners. That's the assumption that Orange has gamely challenged with the new addition to its pay-as-you-go smartphone range, the San Francisco. The hardware has actually been developed by ZTE, well-known purveyor of cheap but competent devices, so that bodes well.
Bright screen and Android 2.1
The first impression on turning the phone on is that the screen is not one you will find on your average phone. A beautifully bright 3.5in OLED lights up to display Android 2.1 in all its multicoloured glory. With an 800x480 resolution, anyone that says they can tell this display apart from the likes of a Samsung Galaxy S or a Google Nexus One is having you on.
The capacitive screen copes well with the gesture based-interface, and though you're never likely to reach 40wpm using the onscreen keyboard, the large screen area gives you a fair chance of writing something intelligible.
The menu, home and back buttons are melded into one unobtrusive button bar at the bottom of the screen. Overall the build quality is good – the phone is mainly plastic, of course, but it's nice plastic.
Orange Wednesdays
Pre-loaded apps from your service provider usually range from thinly veiled attempts to part you from more cash or annoyingly complicated 'utilities' that make you wonder if the programmers have ventured into the real world since the 90s. Orange's efforts are a mixed bag – there doesn't seem a lot of point to the remixed Android Market, but on the other hand, the Orange Wednesday cinema app is really useful and compares favourably to paid-for cinema finders and listings apps. Onboard storage for your own choices is limited, but you can add up to 32GB of microSD.
Using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS will hasten the demise of the 1250mAh battery, which might be considered sufficient for a smaller screen, but on the San Francisco it will still need a nightly recharge if you use it to its potential.
One thing in its favour at this point is the 600Mhz Qualcom processor. Yes, that is where some of the costs have been shaved, but unless you're planning on running benchmarking apps, you probably won't notice the difference. Part of the reason for this is that Android 2.1 (and more so the 2.2 Froyo update, if it ever appears for this device) is just way more efficient.
Poor camera
The Achilles heel is the camera. Even in good light you're only likely to capture a vague impression rather than a sharp and detailed image – in dim light you might as well leave it in your pocket.
Does it really matter if photos and video are not what you want from a phone? Only in the respect that a new wave of augmented reality apps rely on the camera, and even barcode-reading software might struggle with the images served up from the San Francisco.

"Our new PASSPORT 8500 X50™ Black delivers an outstanding 40% performance improvement over its predecessor," said Dave Smidebush, ESCORT Vice-president of Marketing.
West Chester, OH (PRWEB) August 22, 2011
ESCORT Inc, the leading manufacturer of premium automotive accessories and maker of the world's best radar and laser detectors, today announced the release of their new PASSPORT 8500 X50™ BLACK windshield mount radar and laser detector. The new PASSPORT 8500 X50™ BLACK features significant performance improvements over the current 8500 X50 models and is dressed in a sophisticated black case. This new benchmark represents one more in a long and continuing series of industry leading innovations by ESCORT. The PASSPORT 8500 X50™ BLACK radar/laser detector builds on the strong foundation established by the original 8500 series radar detector released more than a decade ago. Upon its introduction, the original 8500 radar detector was immediately called 'the world's best' by industry and consumer electronics pundits. And the recent 8500 X50 series has been repeatedly named by many 3rd party reviewers as still, the 'world's best'. "Our new PASSPORT 8500 X50™ Black delivers an outstanding 40% performance improvement over its predecessor," said Dave Smidebush, ESCORT Vice-president of Marketing. "The PASSPORT 8500 X50™ Black offers drivers the best performance at the best value in class-leading radar and laser protection."
The PASSPORT 8500 X50™ BLACK is the next generation of the award winning series that many reviewers, including Forbes.com and Radartest.com, name as "the world's best detector". The PASSPORT 8500 X50™ BLACK establishes a new benchmark by utilizing an engineering design that dramatically increases its sensitivity (more than 40% across all bands). This new design gives the PASSPORT 8500 X50™ BLACK significantly longer range detection over the previous X50 series detectors. The earlier models have been repeated test 'winners' as reported in multiple independent range and performance testing. This new performance enhancement, in light of the already winning position of the model series, is an extraordinary achievement, again!
Dressed in a black case, the PASSPORT 8500 X50™ BLACK design presents a sophisticated new look in the series. The PASSPORT 8500 X50™ BLACK comes with a fitted travel case and ESCORT's convenient SmartCord (for added control and ease of use in windshield mounted locations, an industry exclusive).
The new PASSPORT 8500 X50™ BLACK radar and laser detector is available direct from ESCORT for $299.95 (Red display, $339.95 for Blue display – including case and SmartCord). For more information about the PASSPORT 8500 X50™ BLACK radar/laser detector and the complete line of ESCORT products, visit online at ESCORTinc.com or call ESCORT direct at 800.433.3487.
About ESCORT, Inc.
ESCORT Inc. is the leading manufacturer of high-performance radar and laser detectors, reverse obstacle detection systems, GPS enabled navigation and tracking products, and other Drive Smarter products. ESCORT manufactures products under the ESCORT, PASSPORT, REDLINE, SOLO, Vector, BELTRONICS, Guardian and Entourage brands.

According to Reuters' David Lawder
Republicans in the House of Representatives on Monday will fire their first shots of the next deficit-reduction battle, advancing legislation to cut nearly $380 billion largely from social programs while protecting defense spending.
Now we knew this was coming of course but as the saying goes, 'Now The Rubber Meets the Road." and this worn out tire is going to get no traction.
The cuts to food stamps, child tax credits and Medicaid healthcare for the poor, among others, are certain to stall in the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate.

Indigenous Science Network Bulletin
February 2002 (Volume 5, Number 1)
Editor: Michael Michie
Nelson urges students not to feel pressured to complete year 12
The Federal Education Minister says high school students should
not feel compelled to complete year 12 or go on to university if they
do not want to.
Brendan Nelson says it is critical to increase and sustain high school retention rates, particularly for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
But Dr Nelson says not everyone is able or prepared to complete year 12.
He says young people should be able to make choices about their future without feeling less worthy than those who continue studies.
"At the same time that we're trying to do the best we can to encourage our children to complete their year 12, let's not create an environment that says to a year nine or a year 10 student and that if you don't complete year 12, if you don't go on to university, you and your life is less valuable than if you did," he said.
Communities consulted over Aboriginal education centre
A Northern Territory education
consortium says a project to build a new Aboriginal education centre
in Alice Springs is in the remote community consultation phase.
The consortium says community educators met central Australian elders to establish the themes and values of the Desert Peoples Centre.
The meeting supported Aboriginal involvement at all stages of the project being developed by the Institute of Aboriginal Development, the Centre for Appropriate Technology and the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Technology.
Spokeswoman Betty Pearce says the centre should open in 2003, providing adult education for indigenous people.
"It is an Aboriginal-driven program and we're going to attempt in every way possible to teach from an Aboriginal perspective," she said.
A Warrnambool school has been
commended for its traditional indigenous games program.
Warrnambool Alternative School won the VicHealth Award for health promotion through community participation.
The school's indigenous games program provides students and staff with a closer look at Koori culture.
Minister promises Aboriginal school finished in 2 years
WA Education Minister Alan Carpenter
has given a commitment that a new Aboriginal primary school in
Bunbury will be completed in two years.
Mr Carpenter says the Department of Education is working to secure the land and employ architects to develop culturally appropriate school designs.
He has welcomed a decision by the Bunbury City Council to support Djidi Djidi Aboriginal Primary School's permanent location in Glen Iris.
He says Djidi Djidi has operated in temporary facilities for five years under less than perfect conditions.
He says the new school will provide a better education for young Noongars.
"That will mean a lot better educational outcomes for the Aboriginal children down there," Mr Carpenter said.
"Obviously, the spin-off benefits for the town, better employment opportunities for the Aboriginal kids, less likelihood that they are going to be involved in social problems and so on."
NT Govt to implement indigenous education plan
A committee will be set up later this
month to implement the 150 recommendations of the independent review
of indigenous education in the Northern Territory.
The former senator, Bob Collins, wrote the report more than two years ago and the new Labor Government has given him the job of following through on the recommendations.
The make-up of the committee has not been finalised but Mr Collins says there will be a significant number of indigenous people on it, including remote-area principals.
"I think that it's true to say that so far as indigenous education is concerned, I don't think there ever has been the focus placed on it," he said.
"That there is at the moment is certainly something that I welcome because it's a focus that's desperately needed."
(The first position in this process, Director Learning Lessons, was advertised in mid-January 2002. It's only been two years since the report was written. Ed.)

"This paper reports on a pilot survey of the authors of three sets of textbooks used in Australia and Canada, which have previously been shown to include a relatively high proportion of Indigenous and other minority groups' knowledges, cultures and sciences. ... The results reveal a wide diversity of views among authors regarding the merits of including multicultural perspectives in science textbooks." (from Abstract)

"The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the ways in which multicultural plurality is depicted in the science curriculum statement for Aotearoa New Zealand and in six sets of secondary school science textbooks which have been produced in response to that curriculum statement." (from Abstract)
Research in Science Education
The first issue of RISE for 2001 has finally arrived. The theme is "Developing research in technology education" and Alister Jones from the University of Waikato was the guest editor. The editor, Cam McRobbie, has written that all issues for 2001 have now been published and are in transit. I believe Glen Aikenhead has a paper in one of the issues.
Members of ASERA should have received their membership renewals as well as some information about this year's conference in Townsville (see below).

AUSTRALASIAN SCIENCE EDUCATION RESEARCH ASSOCIATION, 33rd Annual Conference, 11 - 14 July 2002, Townsville, Queensland
Abstracts for ASERA2002 conference papers are now due - email to
firstname.lastname@example.com no
later than April 1.
As per previous correspondence, ASERA2002 leads you to Townsville in tropical North Queensland over July11 to July14. Details are posted on the conference website at http://www.soe.jcu.edu.au/asera2002/ The conference brochure, including registration, can be obtained from Steve Ritchie.
For the first time we are conducting a limited trial of paper proposals for only those researchers who need refereed acceptance to secure funding. We expect the majority of paper presenters will submit an abstract only, as usual. If you are one of the few who needs to submit a proposal, the details (and criteria) are listed on the conference website - simply activate the "call for papers" button. In order to review the proposals, we'll need experienced researchers to volunteer to assist Dr. Greg Thomas with this trial. If you are interested and available, please contact Greg directly at firstname.lastname@example.com
I have been advised by the Southbank Hotel that they have taken bookings for the conference already. Please book your accommodation early (there is a NRL football game scheduled for Townsville over the same weekend).
I hope to see you in Townsville in July. Cheers, Steve Ritchie
Papers on Postcolonial science education, ASERA, 11-14 July, 2002, Townsville
I would like to put together a symposium (or more if the interest is there) on postcolonial science education for the coming ASERA conference in Townsville. In particular, I was looking at some of the theory out of literary criticism and philosophy - the likes of Michel Foucault, Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, Homi Bhabha, Frantz Fanon and several others. Is there anyone that is working with some of the ideas from these people in science education and would be interested in joining a symposium at Townsville? Peter Ninnes and myself would be interested in this aspect. I was thinking 4 or 5 papers perhaps. I will coordinate this one if there is interest.
There is probably scope for other 'cultural' foci as well if there is enough interest. Perhaps someone else could do that if there is enough interest.

Doutzen Kroes
For Victoria's Secret model Doutzen, it's all about staying in shape year-round, not just bikini season. While the model is currently pregnant with her second child, she does have a secret that keeps her in shape no matter what — moderation. "If I order french fries, I have a salad and I share [the fries] with my friends," she tells POPSUGAR Fashion. "I don't tell myself to not eat anything, to stay away from all sugar or all fries or all the good fried foods. But I eat it in moderation."

As seasoned concertgoer knows, there's more to a music festival than high-wattage headiners and bottles of water that somehow cost $5.
A big part of the fun is the fine folks who arrive on site convinced that we were all born to make spectacles of ourselves.
Here's a selection of people you might have seen strolling around the Pemberton Music Festival this weekend, shot by the Straight's Rebecca Blissett.

New pirate adventures for Orion
Orion Children's Books has acquired a new adventure series, The Pirate Stream, for readers aged 9-12, from author Carrie Ryan and John Parke Davis.
Editorial director Amber Caraveo bought UK and Commonwealth rights in the series from Angharad Kowal at Writers House UK on behalf of Merrilee Heifetz at Writers House US. The first book in the series, The Map to Everywhere, follows two children who accidentally end up as stowaways on a pirate ship that travels between worlds, searching for a map that can lead them to anything.
It will be published in autumn 2014 in the UK, with Little, Brown to publish in the US, with deals signed in Germany, Italy, Israel and France so far.
Caraveo said: "I'm thrilled to have acquired The Pirate Stream which is fantasy adventure at its very best. Packed with action, great characters and truly marvellous world-building, Carrie and JP have created a fast-paced, exciting series that readers will love."

Pesticide and Fertilizer Math: Calculations for Mixing Small Amounts of Pesticides
Posted: January 28, 2013
Applying the proper amount of fertilizer requires that you know the size of the area to treat, the desired application rate, and the analysis of the fertilizer product. Applying the proper amount of pesticide or other product with a sprayer requires that you have properly calibrated your sprayer and mixed up the right concentration of product in the tank. When application rates of fertilizers, pesticides or other products are given in larger scale units, such as lbs/acre, it may also be necessary to convert those rates to smaller units when making applications on smaller scale.
Calculations for all of these involve rates. A rate is one unit of measure per another unit of measure, such as 3.2 gallons/acre, or 7 fl. oz./1000 ft2. A rate is like a fraction in how the math is performed, but different from a fraction in that rates can be inverted without changing their meaning. So, 3.2 gallons/acre is the same as 1 acre/3.2 gallons. You can't do that to a fraction!
Let's look at an example of how to do rate-based math:
You want to apply a liquid pesticide to a flower bed at the labeled rate of 12 oz./acre. Your flower bed measures 160 ft2 and your sprayer is calibrated to apply 40 gallons/acre. How many ounces of pesticide do you need to add to your sprayer?
The strategy is to set up the calculations by following the units of measure. You know that the answer you need is in the units of ounces. You can use a conversion factor
(1 acre/43,560 ft2) to cancel units to get to ounces. Mathematically speaking, multiplying by a conversion factor is the same as multiplying by 1.
Set up to cancel units to get ounce:
- 12 oz/acre X 1 acre/43,560 ft2 X 160 ft2 = 0.044 oz
- cancel out acre and ft2 that occur in both numerator and denominator, so ...
12 oz X 1/43560 X 160 = 0.044 oz
Notice that the units acre and ft2 cancel out of the numerator and the denominator in this equation, and you are left with the ounces needed to treat your flower bed.
But how do you physically measure 0.044 ounces of product? Use one more conversion factor in your equation to translate it into units you can measure, for example, milliliters (ml).
How do I measure 0.044 ounces?
- 0.044 oz X 29.6 ml/1 oz = 1.3 ml needed
- Cancel out the oz that occur in both numerator and denominator, so ...
0.044 X 29.6 ml/1 = 1.3 ml needed
It's not too hard to find something to measure out 1.3 ml of a liquid, such as a syringe without a needle, available at most drug stores or online. Similarly, a relatively inexpensive digital postage scale can be used to weigh out small amounts of dry product.
Here are a few conversion factors to help you make the calculations:
- 1 acre=43,560 ft2
- 1 tablespoon=3 teaspoons
- 1 fl. oz.=29.6 ml
- 1 quart=2 pt.=4 cups
- 1 gallon=128 fl. oz.
- 1 lb=454 grams
- 1 oz.=28.35 grams
- 1 teaspoon=4.93 ml
- 1 pt.=473.2 ml
- 1 cup=16 tablespoons
If you are using a backpack sprayer for smaller applications, calibrate it properly and often! We also suggest that you follow the Rutgers recommendations on retrofitting your backpack sprayer wand with a pressure regulator and better nozzles.
In summary, when confronted with rate-based calculations on the farm, in the landscape or in the greenhouse, use this strategy. Write down what you know (rates, area, tank size) including the units of measure in fraction form; define, in units, what you are trying to calculate; and go from what you know to what you need by using conversion factors and canceling units.

Many know Joe Buck as the main play-by-play voice for FOX Sports and have heard him call many World Series games, as well as a lot of NFL games which includes many Super Bowls.
However, he does have a reputation amongst fans as being one of the most annoying voices in the broadcasting world to go along with being one of the most egotistical ones in the broadcasting world (being the son of legendary announcer Jack Buck may have played a part in that.)
Just before Tuesday's 2014 All Star Game, Buck was doing the a part of a vignette in which he was going into the American League locker room to introduce some of the players in which he got to Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout and then he got to New York Yankees captain and starting shortstop Derek Jeter who looked far from amused with Buck being in the locker room.
In the video posted, Jeter tells Buck to "get the heck out of here, we have a game to play," in which Buck has nothing else to say other than the game starts now, and then the promos start on FOX for the All Star Game.
While FOX does a tremendous job covering the game, Jeter was right to kick him out of the locker room, especially if the team is trying to prepare and focus on winning the game. And unlike in the past, it's not just an exhibition game as the winner gets their league home field advantage in the World Series.
Jeter finished his final All Star Game going 2-for-2 with a single, double and a run scored. Clearly, Jeter was focused on helping his team win the game and they did just that in the 5-3 victory for the American League.

Cigar City 31st Annual Tropical Heatwave Wheat Ale
28 January 2012
Looks like Cigar City Brewing is planning ahead with it's 31st annual Tropical heatwave Wheat Ale for May 12th 2012….it's 750ml & 5.2% ABV. This beer is brewed for listener-supported community radio station WMNF (88.5FM) in Tampa, FL….celebrating it's 31st anniversary. This American wheat also uses Kohatu hops (from New Zealand) so it should be an interesting combination.
