An exploratory study of fishing communities in Uganda to determine suitability as candidate populations for HIV-prevention trials
Study Status:
Two fishing communities along the shores of Lake Victoria in Kampala and Wakiso districts, Uganda
Study Summary:
Promising HIV vaccine products must be tried in appropriate populations if their efficacy is to be known, thus there is a need to identify and prepare different populations, as well as to learn more about targeting mobile and difficult to reach groups, for future large scale vaccine trials. Fisherfolk comprise an important population considered at risk to HIV in Uganda and elsewhere in developing countries. This study sought to better understand the social and behavioral factors that might put fishing communities at risk for HIV infection including occupation, mobility patterns, sexual and social networks and sexual activity, and to identify factors that promote or hinder uptake of VCT, HIV treatment and care and HIV research. Findings suggest that HIV/AIDS is a significant problem in these fishing communities, and that while prevention services are limited, there was great demand and response for VCT services. Despite challenges, a conclusion can be drawn that these communities are suitable for an HIV vaccine trial.

Before & After: Grandma's Kitchen Gets an IKEA Facelift
This bright, happy kitchen belongs to Bonnie, a crafter, gardener, and Etsy seller in North Carolina who bought her grandmother's house and turned it into a modern, no-doilies-in-sight kind of place. Ok, maybe there's a doily in there somewhere, but isn't it inspiring? Click to see more before and after shots, including those great IKEA countertops.
Bonnie saved herself a lot of money by keeping the existing cabinets and just updating the hardware. She replaced the dated counters with IKEA butcherblock and switched out the flooring, which also makes a huge difference in keeping the room calm and bright.
We love the shelving that flanks her dining table; Bonnie keeps "good looking" food (like pasta or grains) in IKEA storage jars, mixed with a few vintage ones, and stashes less attractive boxes and bags in the cupboards below.
• Get a full source list at Young House Love, which featured Bonnie's kitchen.
• See Bonnie's entire house (and more kitchen pictures!) at her blog, Going Home to Roost.
If you browse Bonnie's house tour, you'll see she also removed a wall next to the dining area, which opened up the space and let in tons more light. Go take a look—and don't miss the beautiful turquoise fireplace.

Organic Waste to Resources Research and Pilot Project Report: Converting Washington Lignocellulosic Rich Urban Waste to Ethanol
Rick Gustafson, Renata Bura, Joyce Cooper, Ryan McMahon, Elliott Schmitt, and Azra Vajzovic, September 2009. This study investigated the potential of producing ethanol from three primary sources: mixed waste paper, yard trimmings, and a laboratory prepared mixture (50/50 food & paper) representing MSW. Pretreatment consisted of dilute acid hydrolysis (mixed paper and MSW), and steam explosion (yard waste). Ethanol yields of 105, 90 and 55 gal/ton were found for the MSW, mixed paper, and yard waste. A preliminary Life Cycle Assessment showed that overall environmental impacts of ethanol production from MSW are highly beneficial compared to landfill. Conversion of the MSW mixture to ethanol was found to be economically viable.

The Bush Foundation has awarded the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation a $100,000 grant for a collaborative project to increase philanthropy in North Dakota.
The Bush Foundation has awarded the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation a $100,000 grant for a collaborative project to increase philanthropy in North Dakota. There are five community foundations in North Dakota: Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation; Community Foundation of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks; Devils Lake Area Foundation; Minot Area Community Foundation; and the North Dakota Community Foundation. All five community foundations are working collaboratively on this project. Community foundations by definition have a geographic focus and are a vehicle for philanthropy and community service within their areas. At the core of community foundation work is the creation of permanent or endowed funds that will forever provide support for donor interests and/or community needs. In 2007, the North Dakota Legislature created a Charitable Income Tax Credit for businesses, trusts, and estates making charitable gifts to qualified endowed funds in North Dakota. Legislation in 2011 enhanced the tax credit; adding the tax credit for outright individual gifts to qualified endowment funds. Financial institutions were also added in 2011. North Dakota is one of very few states who offer this tax incentive for philanthropy. The grant will allow the Community Foundations of North Dakota, in consultation with a local marketing firm, to develop and implement an awareness campaign in 2013 to increase residents' understanding of endowment funds and awareness of the North Dakota Charitable Income Tax Credit.

Dear Mike,mikenz66 wrote:So dukkha is applied to both complex objects (people) as well as more basic objects (khandhas in this case).Birth is suffering, aging is suffering, sickness is suffering, death is suffering, sorrow and lamentation, pain, grief and despair are suffering; association with the loathed is suffering, dissociation from the loved is suffering, not to get what one wants is suffering — in short, suffering is the five categories of clinging objects.
I think aging, sickness... give rise to the feeling of suffering, not exactly as the suffering in tilakkhana, which is the underlying characteristic of both unpleasant and pleasant feeling alike.
It seems that in this sutta, the Buddha first make poeple become clearly aware of the feeling of suffering (as feeling aggregate or vedanna khanda), then proceed on to make them to realize the five khandas, which is the basis to realizing Dukkha lakkhana

Fusebox 5.6
FuseBox 5.6 - Project Plan
Vision for Fusebox
Fusebox is a free, easy to use framework for web development that organizes your code for fewer development bugs and faster maintenance. It has a low runtime overhead. It is mainly targeted to ColdFusion but also has versions for PHP and ASP.
Fusebox 5.6 is backwards compatible with versions 5.x and 4.x
Initial Goals
- Documentation of the Internals of the Framework
- We want for the community to be able to pick up an issue and do the work themselves. From there they could provide us with a patch that would contain the fix. In order for us to expect developers to do this. We need to provide some documentation on how the framework works on the inside.
- Provide Examples on how to fork and patch
- Create documentation on how to fork and submit a patch back to the main project.
- Write Selenium Tests and Applications to test against
- Write a couple of different small Fusebox applications that can be used to test the framework. After those are finished create some Selenium tests to test the applications given different versions of Fusebox. The overall goal here is to create a simple way to do backwards compatibility testing in combination with continuous integration. Also get some complete applications from the community to test Fusebox changes on.
- Document small initial performance improvements
- Go through the code and create tickets for small performance improvements that we can see.
- Improved error reporting
- Give better error reports when there is a mistake in one of the fusebox or circuit XML files that will help a user (especially a new user) see where the mistake is in their code.
- Continuous Integration
- Either a Jenkins or Bamboo server will be made public containing the results of the CI for the framework. All commiters will be on the notification list of failed or successful builds.
- Move project to github
- We will move the project to github to allow for easier forking and code management.
- Simplify
- Archive what is there
- Recognize the community patchers that have helped the most
- Figure out a way to connect with the community while keeping things civil
- The biggest parts of the site are
- how to get involved
- how to use the framework
- documentation wiki
The goal of the roles is to keep the organizational structure flat. While thousands of people patch to the linux project. There are very few that can commit to the core kernel. Seeing that Fusebox is the most prevalent framework still I don't think we need an Evangelist or anything like that. Let the framework stand and grow on its own.
We will keep the commiters to a minimum. A goal would be to have at least 3 people who could commit but no more than 6. A commiter's role would be to ensure code quality and that the changes being commited are in the best interest of the overall project. Major architecture decisions will be made by the commiters only after asking input from the community. Setup a voting process where the community could vote on major decisions before a major change is made.
A commiter codes for the best of the framework (not from ego), is responsive to community feedback, and has good attention to detail to ensure bug free releases.
Community Patchers
The community can contribute back to the project by creating patches and fixing issues
Community Documenters
These help improve the user documentation on the wiki. They are good at explaining concepts in simple terms and making items consistent.
Ideas for new development
- A way to configure the request to either pull a model file or hit a service layer
- tag libs for UI controls
- lots of examples for real world development
- Security
- OAuth
Project Ownership and Copyright
The project will remain in the Apache License. The copyright will be removed as most modern project no longer need or have a copyright. The Fusebox.org domain ownership will be transferred initially to John Blayter. The domain ownership shall only be owned by a commiter of at least 3 months. The rights of the domain ownership must be given up if 50% or more of the commiters vote to have it moved to another commiter.
Communication plan
who is saying what, where and when about the transfer? eg news on fusebox.org site announcing change. Post to mailing list(s). It will help you if (most) fuseboxers are behind the change. They will want to know how it will affect them and what will improve. A change FAQ would be helpful here. And I also suggest inviting people to help out as patchers or documenters. Explaining how they can join in. Don't want yet another repeat of the us vs them / insiders battles which we have had in the past.
Change FAQ
Q: Will Fusebox still be free?
A: Yes. Still under Apache open soruce Liciense
Q: Who will control Fusebox?
A: Anyone in the Fusebox community can make changes which will be committed to the code base by experienced Fusebox users (Committers)
Q: Who are the current committers
A: Please see the current contributors
Q: How can I become a committer
A: Yes you can become a committer but why don't you start as a community patcher.

BEIJING (AP) — An angry resident set fire to a nursing home in northeastern China early Friday, killing himself and 10 other elderly residents, local authorities said.
The Hailun city government said the blaze was set early Friday in the home's hospice wing by a 45-year-old man who had been sent there three years ago after suffering from thrombosis, and who has no income and no one to care for him.
It said the man, Wang Gui, had argued Thursday with another resident he suspected of stealing 200 yuan ($33) from him, screaming at staff and smashing windows.
Staff thought that they had calmed him down, but he grew agitated again later in the night before setting the fire. Two other residents were hospitalized for smoke inhalation following the blaze.
It said Wang died at the scene.
The official Xinhua News Agency said 32 seniors were registered in the hospice wing. It said 283 seniors live in the home and most are retired farmers.
Hailun is in Heilongjiang province about 650 kilometers (400 miles) northeast of Beijing. The area is one of China's main grain-producing regions.
With a rapidly aging population and under-resourced social security net, China faces increasing pressure to provide safe and affordable care for the elderly.

Not too long ago, Mrs. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo appointed herself as the Philippines' "green czar". It drew criticisms from various environmental groups. Nobody from the green sector seemed to trust her "green leadership" especially due to several controversies she's been involved with.
So far, she's done nothing newsworthy for the environment. But with the above photo which I saw in today's issue of the Manila Bulletin, I believe this is the right time for Mrs. Arroyo to make herself worthy of her designation and "dedication" to protect our country's environment no matter how small the task or the issue at hand is.
The caption in the paper says:
OLD ACACIA TREES IN PAMPANGA. These old acacia trees in Pampanga, several of which are 50 years or older, are scheduled to be cut down to give way for a road widening project of the government. The Save the Trees Coalition has assailed the cutting of some 5,000 trees along the length of MacArthur Highway from San Fernando City to Angeles City.
Hopefully, when Arroyo gets back from her 45-minute meeting with US President Barack Obama in Washington, she'll find some time to take this matter into her own "environmental hands" if she is really serious AND sincere about being the country's environmental czar. Besides, Pampanga is her and her father's hometown. She should also at least do something to save those iconic acacia trees which have beautified MacArthur Highway for many decades. The nation is already knowledgeable that she has all the political power to save these trees, to have them replanted elsewhere instead of being cut down for good. What the nation needs to know is if she has the political will to do it.
It would be hypocritical of Arroyo if she does nothing to save these trees when one of the things she would discuss with Obama is another environmental issue: climate change.

My Great Outdoors: Keith's Front Porch Swing
Name: Keith
Location: Chesterville, Ontario
Type of space: Front Porch
Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: The porch swing is the perfect spot to have a coffee in the morning and watch the world go by, or read a novel in the afternoon. It has taken a few years to get to this stage. The vines are hops, the beds have irises, and tulips. The beds have a crushed brick mulch and a brick border. Once the weather gets nice I tend to spend as much time as possible out here.
How did you create it?:
I built the porch swing myself from plans I bought from Lee Valley Tools. The brick border was made from broken bricks with the broken side buried, so that it appears to be made of complete bricks. The most work was fixing the cracked concrete porch when I bought the house. It started with optimistic plans to be finished in a month, but stretched out for the entire summer.

NBA Life with Matt Bonner: Bonner appreciates historic Madison Square Garden
January 12. 2013 10:20PM
This week, Concord native Matt Bonner, a veteran forward with the San Antonio Spurs, shares some stories from the road, which includes recent trips to Milwaukee, New York, New Orleans and Memphis.
Sunday News: What's it like traveling from city to city, getting in late, exploring new places and staying focused on your job?
Matt Bonner: It was definitely interesting in New York. I awoke in a panic. There were incessantly loud church bells playing some type of symphony right outside my window. I think they had a couple extra nuns in there at 7 a.m. cranking on those bells. It was an interesting trip. We had back-to-back games beginning in Milwaukee, where it was minus-10 degrees with the wind chill. We got into New York at about 2:15 (a.m.). I got up for a union meeting at breakfast. Now the radio show. It's always hectic on the road.
SN: Did you ever think about New York City as a kid and maybe playing at Madison Square Garden someday?
MB: I probably thought about it a little bit. There are so many movies and TV shows filmed here, but, to me, going to the big city was Boston. Growing up, we went to New York City once as a family. I remember my eyes were all red and bloodshot by the end of the weekend because I wasn't used to the air pollution. That's what I took away from that trip. It's a fast-paced city. People are on a mission. Nobody is stopping to chat. If you're a tourist, you better stay to the edge. It's funny because (drivers) can get a ticket if they honk. You see those signs on the street.
SN: How much do you appreciate playing at Madison Square Garden, which is considered the most famous arena in sports?
MB: You said it. It's the biggest stage. All the history. Of course, the original Boston Garden was the biggest stage until they tore it down and built another one. Any time you come to New York, it's crazy. They sell out every game no matter how the team is doing. It's definitely the toughest place to get extra tickets.
SN: Do you think teams in the Western Conference are much stronger, overall, than teams in the Eastern Conference?
MB: There are more teams playing well right now out West if you look at records and head-to-head competition. You look at the Clippers and their 17-game win streak and how well they've been playing without Chauncey Billups or Grant Hill, two veteran guys with playoff experience. Once those guys get healthy and get clicking, they're only going to get better. Oklahoma City has done what everyone expected. I think the Lakers are still trying to figure it out, but, obviously, they have a lot of talent and nobody wants to see them in April or May. It's the NBA though. Every game is tough. It's not like we're thinking you can pick up some easy wins when you head East.
SN: The Celtics have been playing better. Coach Doc Rivers has a message to keep playing hard, bide your team, and maybe it's working.
MB: You know, I like Doc's message. What more can you do? You have to stay positive, keep working, keep playing. They know, historically, they can be successful with that core group of guys.
SN: The Spurs play with a selfless, college-like style with lots of depth. Do you think that's becoming a model of success for other teams in the NBA?
MB: I think with the new collective bargaining agreement coming into place, that is going to have to be the model. There are going to be really strict (financial) penalties for going into the luxury tax. You can't just go out and buy your team anymore. It's going to be hard to keep three max-salary superstars. I think the Heat might have some trouble with that down the line. You have to find a way to have maybe one max guy, a couple other guys that are up there (in salary), and surround them with guys able to contribute and play well together and play good team defense. You need that kind of chemistry for the long term if you're trying to win a championship.
SN: What's it like being around Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker? Do you think of them as NBA stars or are they just guys at this point?
MB: They are definitely just guys. For seven years, we've spent eight months together, all day, everyday. When you spend enough time with people, it doesn't matter who they are. They are just normal people.
Matt Bonner discusses The NBA Life each week with radio broadcaster Chris Ryan and New Hampshire Union Leader reporter Kevin Gray, and the interview appears weekly in the N.H. Sunday News.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hurricane Sandy could complicate Friday's release of the October jobs report, the final snapshot of employment before the presidential election.
U.S. Labor Department officials are still hopeful that they can release the report as scheduled. But they acknowledged that the storm could cause a delay.
"Our intention is that Friday will be business as usual regarding the October employment ... report," says Jennifer Kaplan, a department spokeswoman.
Preparation for the jobs report typically ramps up in the week of the release. The federal government was closed Monday. Final calculations could be delayed if the government stays closed because of the storm.
Tom Nardone, who oversees the preparation of the report, said some advance work was done Friday and some employees were able to work on the report Monday.

LAC-MEGANTIC, Quebec (Reuters) - Canadian police on Tuesday said they had opened a criminal investigation into the train explosion that likely killed 50 people in Lac-Megantic, and some 200 officers were scouring the town's devastated center for clues.
Inspector Michel Forget said police did not believe terrorism was involved when a runaway train hauling 72 cars of crude oil barreled into town early on Saturday, derailed on a curve and exploded into a huge fireball that destroyed the center of the lakeside community.
"I will not speculate on the evidence that we've recovered because (it is) secret," Forget said. But he indicated that some evidence might point to "criminal acts."
"We don't think the terrorism aspect is a part of that," he added. "Criminal negligence might be one of the leads we are looking at."
Almost a third of the town's 6,000 residents were evacuated from their homes as firefighters from Canada and the nearby U.S. states of Maine and Vermont struggled to bring the massive blaze under control. Just over half have been allowed back.
Montreal Maine & Atlantic, which owned the train, is one of many North American railroads that have vastly stepped up crude-by-rail deliveries as producers seek alternatives to pipelines that have been stretched to capacity by higher output in Canada and North Dakota.
The oil in the train that crashed was being transported from the Bakken fields of North Dakota to eastern Canada.
Police have found 15 bodies, but residents hold out little hope that the 35 or so people still missing will be found alive in an incident that could turn into North America's worst rail disaster since 1989.
Officials from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada said more than a dozen investigators were examining every angle of the accident, although even they had not yet gained access to the central "red zone."
Key elements of the TSB probe, led by investigator Donald Ross, will include the strength of the widely used DOT-111 cylindrical tanker cars that carried the crude, as well as how the train, almost a mile long, was secured for the night on a stretch of rail line in Nantes some eight miles from Lac-Megantic.
Industry rules say engineers must set enough of a train's handbrakes to ensure it cannot move, and then test that they have done a proper job. Ross said his team cannot check whether the brakes were set until it can enter the center of town and examine the pile of derailed cars.
Montreal Maine & Atlantic Chairman Ed Burkhardt told Reuters the company had followed protocol, using the same standard as Canadian Pacific Railways, Canada's No. 2 railroad.
The company had always put a lot of effort into safety, he said in an interview with Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
"Obviously we've blown it all with this tragedy," he said.
Ross said the train was on a 1.2-percent grade when it started sliding toward Lac-Megantic, a relatively steep grade in railroad terms.
He said the train line lacked a signal system that could have warned the dispatcher of a runaway train, and that although all trains are required to have automatic braking systems for runaways - called dead man switches - they only work when the train's locomotives are running.
Most of the railcars now lie where the rail line used to run, crumpled together like the squished-up links of a chain.
"If we think there needs to be a safety message out to the industry that they need to beef things up, we're going to do it," Ross said.
The TSB and its U.S. equivalent, the National Transportation Safety Board, have long urged tougher rules for the DOT-111 cars.
But nobody knows if stronger cars would have prevented the disaster, which involved a train that Ross said was traveling "well in excess of its authorized speed."
The train was parked in nearby Nantes, Quebec, on Friday night when one of its engines, which had been left running to ensure the air brakes had enough pressure, caught fire. Local firemen turned off the engine, put out the fire and went home.
The unattended train then started moving downhill toward Lac-Megantic, and derailed and blew up in the town center at just after 1 a.m. (0500 GMT) on Saturday.
Montreal, Maine & Atlantic says shutting off the engine caused the air brakes on the locomotive to lose pressure, possibly allowing the train to break free.
But a briefing from Transport Canada, which regulates railroads, focused on the train's handbrakes, a separate system that locks individual locomotives and railcars in place. It highlighted how unusual it was to leave an unattended train on a main line.
Experts see handbrakes as crucial for trains that are parked overnight, given that air brakes need power from a locomotive.
With fires out and authorities probing the center of the blast, the death toll is expected to climb. The coroner's office asked relatives of the missing to bring in brushes, combs and razors so experts could extract DNA samples from strands of hair.
"They know their loved ones were there, on the site. Most of them are now waiting for confirmation - because that makes it official," said Steve Lemay, the parish priest of Lac-Megantic, who has been meeting with families. "It's clear that they are not waiting for the missing to return."

How the Blueprint for Reform Empowers Educators
How the Blueprint for Reform Empowers Educators
The Blueprint for Reform is designed to meet the needs of students while accomplishing objectives that teachers have been concerned about for a long time.
Respecting Teachers as the Professionals They Are
Our Challenge: We all know that not all teachers are alike, nor should they be. Yet, for too long, many educators have been treated like cogs in the system, interchangeably generic employees whose strengths and contributions go largely unnoticed. Unlike evaluations in other professions, teacher performance reviews don't provide meaningful feedback, and they have little to no impact on your professional development. Furthermore, the most effective teachers are generally not rewarded for doing a great job or for taking on greater responsibilities.
The Blueprint's New Direction:
Recognizing the Importance of Teachers. The Blueprint is based on two principles that we all know are true: 1) Great teachers matter; and 2) Not all teachers are equally effective.
Under this plan, teachers are recognized and supported as unique professionals. Principals and other school leaders will take the time (and they should be given the training) to evaluate teachers comprehensively and fairly based on individual performance. The plan proposes that evaluations be based on multiple measures, acknowledge successes, provide meaningful feedback, inform staff development and staffing decisions, offer teachers more responsibility, and compensate them more reasonably. Teachers deserve to be evaluated fairly and paid for the hard work they do.
Broadening the Curriculum
Our Challenge: No Child Left Behind's focus on Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) has put history, the arts, and other critical subjects on the back burner. Schools spend far too much time on tests and not enough on lessons that foster engagement, critical thinking, and a well-rounded education.
The Blueprint's New Direction:
Better Assessments. The Department is investing $350 million in support for states to develop better assessments that measure complex skills, ensuring that students are gaining the knowledge and skills they need in the real worldnot just filling in bubbles. New assessments may include performance items, such as portfolios and projects. States are encouraged to work with a coalition of state colleges and universities to create standards that are fair and to ensure that students who meet them have the skills to succeed in college and careers.
Painting With a Broad Brush. The effect of the Blueprint will be to broaden what teachers teach, not limit it. Because most schools will have relief from the relentless emphasis on year-to-year test scores, teachers and principals will be able to focus on ensuring a high-quality education for every student, including long-neglected subjects like art and foreign languages. The Blueprint also will provide funding to support high-quality instruction in these subjects, especially in our highest-need schools. Finally, because states will have the flexibility to include a range of academic subjects in their accountability systems, teachers of these subjects will no longer feel ignored.
Using Data the Right Way
Our Challenge: Teachers can speak for hours about the misuse of testing data: requiring all students to be on the same level all at once, labeling schools and teachers as failures even if scores are growing, using scores as the sole measurement of success, and teaching to the test.
The Blueprint's New Direction:
Focus on Growth. The Blueprint for Reform encourages schools to use data in fundamentally different ways. Schools are measured not only by achievement level but also by growth. Under this plan, if a teacher helps a fifth-grade student's reading to move from a second-grade to a fourth-grade level, he or she is not labeled as a failure but as a model for others to emulate. And progress over time will matterone bad year will no longer cause a school to be identified as "failing" because data from several years are reviewed to determine how a school is doing.
Empowering Teachers and Schools
Our Challenge: While NCLB helped schools to focus on specific student groups, its emphasis was more on punishing than empowering. An effect of the program was that teachers and school leaders lived in fear of not measuring up on a few key tests and of being reprimanded and labeled as failures (or even closed) if students did not score well on tests. If they were identified as "failing," they had no real choices for fixing their plan because the federal government prescribed only one track"one size fits all."
The Blueprint's New Direction:
More Funds to Reach High Goals. The Blueprint takes a much more positive and empowering position on student achievement. The plan encourages states to adopt rigorous goals for student performance and rewards and provides incentives for accomplishing those goals and for showing progress. What's more, districts interested in reform can compete for additional fundingbeyond what they currently receive through regular (formula) programsto achieve their goals through grant programs, such as Race to the Top, Promise Neighborhoods, and Investing in Innovation. Our plan will maintain funding from regular, core programs such as Title I and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In fact the president's budget includes a historic increase in funding for K-12 education, of which approximately 80 percent will be for these kinds of existing programs.
Fewer Restrictions About How to Get There. In the past, schools not making AYP were required to follow prescribed programs, but the Blueprint strategy is more fluid, offering school systems an array of local choices and control. While maintaining a high bar for accountability, it recognizes that what works in a rural school, for example, may not work in urban areas or other regions.
Making a Bold Case for Reform
Our Challenge: There have been so many reforms proposed over the last few decades that teachers may feel at times like they are just going through the latest motions, checking off the latest "to do" items on an agenda that merely patches problems in education without a clear sense of purpose or direction.
The Blueprint's New Direction:
A World-Class Education. The president's reform agenda calls on teachers to take even more bold and courageous steps to completely transform what we offer students in this country so that all have equal access to a quality education. Others may see the goal of preparing every student for college or career as pie in the sky, but President Obama believes that education is a great equalizer. Skeptics say we must first solve our country's economic problems, but the president knows that we have to educate ourselves into economic security.
What teachers say they like most about the Blueprint is that it asks them to deeply examine their practice and to be willing to improve it to meet the needs of students today. The Blueprint challenges us all to live what we believethat all students can learn and that they are all worth our investment.

As you read this, Sierra Foothills vineyards will be almost done with harvest, and winemakers are looking at the sugar content of their juice, deciding whether to add this yeast or that, ferment cold or otherwise, and filter or not. So many decisions go into producing an excellent wine, but if the wines poured at the 3rdannual Sample the Sierra event held in South Lake Tahoe in September are indicative, the wines will continue to be good.
Sample the Sierra is a cooperative effort of El Dorado County organizations, growers, producers and businesses to increase awareness of the region's bounty, heritage, culture and activities. A great addition this year was the Rotary Club of South Lake Tahoe booth that enabled tasters to join the wine clubs of the various wineries.
|Colibri Ridge winemaker,
John Alexander
I started my tasting at Colibri Ridge, a winery located in the Fair Play area of El Dorado County. Winemaker John Alexander poured his 2005 Mouvedre, with grapes sourced from the Helen Robin vineyard in Fair Play. It's a big fruity and spicy Mourvedre, and was rated as the best Mourvedre from the Sierra Foothills at the 2006 California State Fair. 15.2 per cent alcohol. $22.00/bottle. John was not pouring his white ports, one from Viognier, one from Chardonnary, but if you go to the winery, I suggest you buy those dessert wines too: perfect for the upcoming holidays! www.colibriridge.com
|Rowena Pegg from the Beach Grill,
South Lake Tahoe, pours
Toogood Estate wines
Another Fair Play winery, Toogood Estate, poured a teaser of a red blend named Foreplay. Malbec, Petit Verdot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc all combine to make a nicely tannic and provocative wine. Winery owner Paul Toogood calls this his signature wine. 13.9 per cent alcohol, $30/bottle. Lakeside Beach Grill in South Lake Tahoe serves this and other local wines. www.toogoodwinery.com
|Ravel Haynes poured for Shadow Ranch;
Sam Domingo, winemaker for
Wilderotter stopped by
Shadow Ranch Vineyard, located on Fair Play Road in Somerset, El Dorado County, poured its new red blend, Sheriff, which comprises 65 per cent Zinfandel and 35 per cent Syrah. This is a non-vintage blend, and great with the spicy food from Latin Soul restaurant. 14.5 per cent alcohol, $15/bottle. www.shadowranch.com.
Bill Gunn, assistant winemaker at Jodar Vineyards & Winery, Placerville, poured his 2010 Chardonnay. It has a nice Citrus on the nose with notes of grapefruit and lemon on the palate. 14.4 per cent alcohol, $18/bottle. www.jodarwinery.com
|Diane Stading , co-owner of
Auriga Wine Cellars, pours their
2009 Red Giant blend
Auriga Wine Cellars of Placerville poured its 2009 Red Giant, a blend of 50% Zinfandel, 25% Merlot and 25% Syrah. It has fruit tones of black cherry, plum and spice with a hint of vanilla on the finish. 14 per cent alcohol, $16/bottle. www.aurigawines.com

Concern Grows Over Rebel Hold on Malaysia Airlines Crash Site in Ukraine
Investigators Have Been Hampered by Limited Access
HRABOVE, Ukraine—Outrage grew Saturday over the rebel hold on the site of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crash that killed 298 people in eastern Ukraine, with European leaders calling for Russian President Vladimir Putin to do more to use his influence to get them to hand over the site.
World leaders and the rebels themselves have called for a transparent, credible investigation into the downing. But two days after the disaster, there has been little progress, with the site disorderly and investigations hampered by its...

EVENT: OSU - Susan G. Komen Founder
DATE: April 7
What started as Nancy Brinker's promise to her dying sister is now the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists. Brinker will serve as the keynote speaker for the Women for OSU Symposium on April 7 at the ConocoPhillips Alumni Center to share her passion for philanthropy and how it changed her life and empowered her to achieve success.
Brinker and a handful of dedicated friends created Susan G. Komen for the Cure in 1982, named in memory of her sister who died of breast cancer at 36. After forming the organization, Brinker was diagnosed with breast cancer, underwent aggressive treatment and is now a 20+ year survivor.
At the symposium, Brinker will speak about "the power of one" — the ability of every individual to lead a fulfilling life of success and significance.
Brinker has experienced success first-hand as she transformed a small living-room operation into a billion-dollar global network. The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is the most successful fundraising and education event for charity ever created. Her passion to end the shame, pain, fear and hopelessness caused by breast cancer has been the driving force behind her efforts to change the way the disease is discussed and treated.
In addition to her work with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Brinker is known globally as an agent of change, serving as U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Hungary from 2001 to 2003 and U.S. Chief of Protocol from 2007 to 2009. In May, she was appointed by the World Health Organization as Goodwill Ambassador for Cancer Control. She has received countless awards and recognition for her work including the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom and continues to dedicate her life to serving others.
The annual Women for OSU Symposium educates women about philanthropic planning and empowers them to be difference-makers in their communities. Last year 250 people attended the inaugural Women for OSU Symposium, hearing Olympic gold medalist and keynote speaker Jackie Joyner-Kersee share the impact charitable giving has on her life.
"Our goal is to educate women about the impact of philanthropy and motivate them to play a larger role in supporting those causes for which they feel passion," said Pat Knaub, director of Women for OSU.
The Women for OSU Spring Symposium is a unique opportunity for those passionate about OSU to learn about financial planning, philanthropic decision-making and leadership skills development. Individual tickets to the symposium will be available in March at OSUgiving.com/women.
The mission of Women for OSU is to expand the critical impact of women as leaders and philanthropists in achieving OSU's vision of becoming a premier land-grant university. Originally called Women in Philanthropy, the program was created within the College of Human Environmental Sciences in 1995 but was reorganized in 2008 to serve the entire university.

Jelly and other Doughnuts
I'd like to try making Jelly and other doughnuts. They are traditional at Hanukkah time. I've never made any type of doughnut and don't fry foods ever, so any advice and ideas would be welcome. I have a couple recipes, but thought some expert bakers here might have a tried and true recommendation. Thanks!

Kevin Harvick popped in for what he thought was a quick hello with a bedridden Tony Stewart.
Roughly a week after Stewart broke his right leg in a sprint car crash, Harvick was surprised to find his new boss' bedroom had been turned into an unlikely boardroom. The entire Stewart-Haas organization had gathered to discuss the potential signing of Kurt Busch.
They wanted Harvick's input on adding a driver who hadn't exactly endeared himself in the past.
Baggage aside, Harvick knew as well as anyone that Busch was still as good as it gets as a wheelman.

Despite a worse-than-expected decline in sales, Sears (NASDAQ:SHLD) narrowed its second-quarter loss on Thursday and matched Wall Street expectations, sending its shares more than 5% higher in morning trade.
Continue Reading Below
The ailing Hoffman Estate, Ill.-based retail giant reported a loss of $132 million, or $1.25 a share, compared with a year-earlier loss of $146 million, or $1.37.
Excluding one-time items, Sears posted a loss of 86 cents, matching average analyst estimates in a Thomson Reuters poll.
Revenue for the three months ended July 28 was $9.47 billion, down from $10.14 billion a year ago, missing the Street's view of $9.63 billion, which the retailer said was partially a reflection of having fewer Kmart and Sears full-line stores in operation, as well as softer demand for electronics, lawn and garden products and drugs.
Sears reported a 2.9% decline in domestic comparable sales – a key growth metric for retailers that measures sales at stores open longer than a year. Those sales at its Kmart retail chain fell 4.7%, while comparable sales at Sears Canada declined by 7.1%, which the company said was a reflection of unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
Earnings were cushioned by tighter costs, as the retailer continued to spin off businesses and shed assets to narrow expenses and streamline the business.
"We continue to make progress against the priorities we outlined in our fourth quarter earnings release and call," Sears CEO Lou D'Ambrosio said in a statement. "We have improved our profit position, as we reduced expenses and expanded margin rate through more effective promotional design."
As part of those efforts, Sears Hometown and Outlet stores earlier this week began the process of filing for an initial public offering. The subsidiary said it will operate as a business within Sears Holdings but as an independent public company.
Financial terms of the spinoff were not disclosed, however the company did say that Sears Chairman Edward Lampert's ESL Investments is expected to own at least 62% of the new company.
The overhaul plan is an effort to stem bleeding sales. Sears has reported a decline in sales every year since 2005, ever since Sears merged with Kmart in an $11 billion deal.
Shares of Sears climbed about 5.6% higher Thursday to $59.80, bringing their percentage gain since January to about 88%.

This essay is adapted from The Beautiful and the Damned: A Portrait of the New India, by Siddhartha Deb, forthcoming from Faber and Faber, Inc., an affiliate of Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Copyright © 2011 by Siddhartha Deb. All rights reserved.
Esther once worked as a waitress at Hotel Shangri-La, serving breakfast, high tea and happy hour drinks at the Horizon Club on the nineteenth floor. Some of her guests were businessmen passing through Delhi, while others maintained small but expensive office suites along the corridors twisting away from the club lounge. In the evening, these men sat in the lounge sipping Black Label Scotch with lots of ice, appreciative of the quiet, smiling demeanor with which Esther brought them their food and drinks, leaving them to talk to one another or on their BlackBerrys while outside the sheer glass windows the sun went down softly over the Parliament building and the palatial bungalows of industrialists and politicians. One of the men who sat in the club lounge was an arms dealer. I met him before I met Esther, although the reason I went to see the arms dealer was because I was looking for Esther.
All through the past few years in India, sometimes in Delhi and sometimes in other cities, I had noticed the women who worked as waitresses in cafes and restaurants and as sales assistants in retail stores. They were usually in their 20s, soft-spoken and fluent in English. In the shape of their eyes, their cheekbones and their light skin, I could read their origins in northeastern India. They were polite but slightly reticent until I spoke to them and told them that I too had grown up in the northeast. Then they seemed to open up, and often there were extra touches of attention as they served me. I flattered myself that they liked me. After all, I knew where they were from, I was generous with my tips and I thought I understood something of their loneliness in the loneliness I had felt when I began to leave my small-town origins behind and started my drift through cities. But in most ways, I wasn't like them. I had grown up in Shillong, the most cosmopolitan of urban centers in the northeast, while the women were from Nagaland or Manipur, the first generation from these states to abandon their poor, violence-ridden homes for the globalized metropolises of the mainland. Their journey was longer and harder than mine had ever been, and although there were tens of thousands of them in Delhi alone, they were in some sense utterly isolated, always visible in the malls and restaurants but always opaque to their wealthy customers.
Samrat, whom I had met in Bangalore, and who had moved back to Delhi, knew I was looking to interview one of these women. He took me to meet the arms dealer because he thought the man might be able to introduce me to a waitress who worked at the hotel. The arms dealer, who did not like being called an arms dealer and referred to himself as a "security specialist," was also from the northeast. He had grown up in a small town in Assam called Haflong, a picturesque stop on the train I used to take during my college days and where local tribal men often sat on the platform selling deer meat on banana leaves. But Haflong had also been riven by poverty, ethnic violence and insurgency, shut down from time to time by landslides, an ambush by insurgents or a retaliatory rampage by paramilitary forces.
The arms dealer had risen far from such origins, and although he was making a business of the violence that was endemic to his hometown, his role in it reduced violence to an abstraction. He was bald and suave, wearing a black suit and carrying a BlackBerry. Because of our common background, he came across as welcoming and gregarious the day I met him, slipping into Sylheti, the Bengali dialect that we shared, while at the same time emphasizing the rarefied atmosphere in which he now moved. He traveled around the world, he said, including the frequent trips he made to his company's headquarters in Virginia. When he visited New York, he stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel. "Not bad, right?" he said. "Is that an OK hotel?"

Wyoming Youth Congress Still Timely Event in Year Two
On September 25, 2010, the New York Times reported that as of 2006, numbers of people hunting are down as much as 4.5 million people annually (see the full article here). Earlier in the month, the Casper Star Tribune reported that although numbers of visits to Grand Teton National Park are increasing, youth visitations to the park are continuing to decline (see the full article here).
This year's Wyoming Youth Congress on Children and Nature will be held October 14-17, 2010 at Teton Science Schools. The students will discuss the growing disconnect between children and the outdoors, and they will focus on action steps that can be taken in their home communities.
In addition, the youth will have new statistics to look at. The Youth Congress will feature the release of preliminary data from the "Our Children and the Outdoors" 2010 Survey, conducted by the University of Wyoming's Survey and Analysis Center for the Wyoming Governor's Task Force on Recreation & Teton Science Schools. The final report will be released in early November 2010 and will be followed up by a media campaign sharing the data state-wide.
