Powerful Teaching
With research readily available, why do educators continue to teach based on anecdotes and fads? In my 25 years of teaching, I had far too many students who had already internalized failure and given up–and they were eleven years old. Yet after teaching these very students how to learn, I saw them eager to share critical thinking and deep understanding. Because of research, we have the knowledge and the know-how to empower teachers and students. We now know how we can increase learning at all grade levels and all subjects. Let me show you how to incorporate research-based strategies and Powerful Teaching so your students internalize success.

"Chief People Officer" …I imagine that position will have invaluable insight to share at the company's qtrly strategy meetings.
News 6/28/19
Top News
Shares of Change Healthcare began trading on the Nasdaq exchange Thursday under the symbol CHNG. President and CEO Neil de Crescenzo rang the market's closing bell.
CHNG shares opened at $13 versus the company's target price of $16-19, but rose to $15 at the market's close.
Majority owner McKesson congratulated the company in announcement that also included its intention to "exit its investment in Change Healthcare in a tax-efficient manner."
Reader Comments
From Curious CIO: "Re: gag clauses. I just finished Eric Topol's book 'Deep Medicine' and was struck by his claim that Epic's contracts prohibit doctors or health systems from criticizing the company. I looked for that clause when we implemented Epic and other systems and found no hint of it in the contract. They are tight with publishing screen shots, but that's IP protection." I've read a lot of contracts without seeing any that specifically prohibit discussing the vendor's product or related safety concerns. I've asked readers to send me examples and none have. Some contracts may include "non-disparagement" language, but that is likely not enforceable as long as the comments are truthful. My take is that health systems tell their people that their contract contains gag clauses when it really doesn't, just to keep their vendor relationship harmonious when a discouraging word is about to be heard (I've never been muzzled by a vendor, but I have by a health system suit who just didn't want to deal with any repercussions of telling the truth). I'll ask again — if you have a contract that contains a gag clause, send it to me anonymously.
From Nailed Acrylically: "Re: NextGen Healthcare. The company is rumored to have cut 17% of the R&D work force in preparing to move those jobs to India as suggested in the quarterly earnings call." Unverified. President and CEO Rusty Frantz said in the May 29 earnings call that "increased investment in our Bangalore development center will provide the best leverage … not engineered for R&D cost savings, but rather to increase our yield per investment dollar by adding significantly more of the right skill sets." NXGN shares have dropped 3% in the past year vs. the Nasdaq's 7% gain.

Presenters: Michele Perry, CEO, Relatient; Michael Rivers, MD, director of EMA Ophthalmology, Modernizing Medicine. Providers are understandably focused on how to make the most of the 5-8 minutes they have on average with a patient during an exam, but what happens between appointments also plays a significant role in the overall health of patients. Modernizing Medicine is driving high patient engagement with best practice, mobile-first strategies. This webinar will describe patient engagement and the challenges in delivering it, how consumerism is changing healthcare, and how to get started and navigate the patient engagement marketplace.
July 25 (Thursday) 2:00 ET. "Meeting patient needs across the continuum of care." Sponsor: Philips Population Health Management. Presenters: Cindy Gaines, chief nursing officer, Philips Population Health Management; Cynthia Burghard, research director of value-based healthcare IT transformation strategies, IDC. Traditional care management approaches are not sufficient to deliver value-based healthcare. Supplementing EHRs with advanced PHM technology and a scalable care management approach gives health systems proactive and longitudinal insights that optimize scarce resources in meeting the needs of multiple types of patients. This webinar will address the key characteristics of a digital platform for value-based care management, cover the planning and deployment of a scalable care management strategy, and review patient experience scenarios for CHF and diabetes.

Government and Politics
In Health Affairs, Dell Medical School professor and former national coordinator Karen DeSalvo, MD and Center for Digital Health Information Director of Policy Mark Savage outline four use cases for determining how much progress has been made five years into the federal government's 10-year plan for interoperability, which calls for a nationwide learning health system by 2024:
- Consumer and patient access to electronic health information. Standardized APIs should be implemented before the proposed January 2020 deadline.
- Shared care planning and coordination. Simply collecting comments on the maturity of standards undermines the sense of urgency needed to ensure longitudinal care plans are available and active by 2024.
- Person-generated health data. ONC needs to specify that new APIs offer both read and write access to ensure roadmap milestones are met. DeSalvo and Page also recommend that ONC prohibit API developers from charging patients read and write access fees and require them to conduct real-world testing.
- Social and environmental determinants of health. ONC should move forward now with incorporating SDOH as new elements in the US Core Data for Interoperability.
Privacy and Security
A former patient at University of Chicago Medical Center files a class-action lawsuit against the medical center and Google, alleging that the organizations violated HIPAA when they did not properly de-identify PHI that was used in a joint research project. UCMC began providing patient health data to Google in 2017 as part of a machine learning research project that involved several other health systems. The lawsuit claims the data was de-identified, but a timestamp was left on each file, allowing Google the ability to re-identify patients.
A small Spok survey of CHIME members finds that data breaches are the top concern when contemplating SaaS deployments, followed by compliance / data migration and internal attacks / user errors.
Researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia develop an algorithm that can match pediatric oncology patients with clinical trials.
ProPublica dives into the collections practices of non-profit hospitals such as Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare in Memphis, TN. The hospital, which has its own collections agency, has filed more than 8,300 lawsuits for unpaid medical bills over the last five years, even targeting its own employees. The lawsuit often involve low-income patients without insurance, after which their wages are often garnished. High hospital interest rates have left many patients with bills that have doubled since services were rendered.

Puerto Rico calls on U.S. utilities to help restore power
(Reuters) – It took almost six weeks, but Puerto Rico has finally called on U.S. mainland utilities to help restore power after Hurricane Maria knocked out electric service to all of the U.S. territory's 3.4 million residents.
Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) Executive Director Ricardo Ramos sent a letter on Tuesday to utility industry trade groups requesting assistance from U.S. mainland utilities, they said.
Restoration of power on the island will now shift toward other utilities and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers after the Puerto Rican government removed a small Montana contractor.
Puerto Rico canceled a $300 million contract between PREPA and Whitefish Energy Holdings, which had been rebuilding the island's power system since early October.
The Army Corps said it planned to boost the size of a contract awarded to engineering firm Fluor Corp by $600 million, to $840 million, according to a government filing.
PREPA, which declared bankruptcy in July, has said it relied on contractors like Whitefish and the Army Corps due in part to its financial difficulties and the logistical complexity of bringing crews and equipment to the island.
Officials at PREPA could not be reached for comment.
"Utility companies were hesitant to engage, because there was no guarantee of cost share payment," the Army Corps' Major General Donald Jackson told the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
He said the Corps had about 150 contractors on the ground as of Tuesday, working with 450 Army Corps personnel. Another 500 would arrive by the end of the week, with about 1,000 workers in place by mid-November.
Power has been restored to only about 30 percent of the island's 1.5 million homes and businesses since Maria hit on Sept. 20. Jackson said the Army Corps hopes to restore half of the island's electric system by the end of November.
Mainland utilities rely on mutual assistance from other power companies to help restore service.
Florida Power & Light (FPL), a unit of Florida power company NextEra Energy Inc, called on utilities across the country days before Hurricane Irma hit and was able to restore power to more than 3.6 million customers in just 10 days.
But PREPA is not FPL. It has $9 billion in debt caused by years of unsuccessful rate collection, particularly from municipal governments and state agencies, and has not invested in equipment and maintenance…..

and BAM! with the heavy.
i've never thought of actually ending my own life, to be fair. i've been through the parts where i didn't give myself much value, i've been depressed & a bit lost, but to put an end to things is something which my brain refuses to process. i'm not sure why, perhaps because i've always had a little bit of curiosity about what tomorrow might bring, even if today, yesterday and the last 6 months has been a grey monotonous blur of 'ugh'. not suicidal by nature, me.
just because i would never do it myself doesn't mean i don't understand why someone would. i can only feel grateful that i don't suffer from depression to the extent where i honestly cannot see any other way out.
the worst of all of it for me was post-uni, pre-Canada. at the time, it wasn't so dramatic as all that; i just couldn't quite see the point of what i was doing with my life, but also frustrated because i'd made the decisions that had put me there. i lacked the motivation to change my situation up until the point where i took 2 weeks leave from work and had a bolt of lightning hit in the form of a 'i gotta get the hell out of here' realisation.
i'm not sure why i was so unhappy, and honestly it may not have been the situation so much as the repercussions of the past few years involving moving out of home, parents separating, ex-boyfriend with mental illness (very manipulative, very clever about it), going from being in the top percentiles of my highschool classes to just another essay in a pile at university of melbourne, being in a relationship with somebody who seemed to feel that artistic disillusionment equated with one's value as a person... i don't think all these feelings were necessary unique to the age i was, but i've found that not many people will come out with it and admit they're depressed. i certainly didn't- i couldn't call it that til i knew otherwise.
i'm so, so glad that i dragged myself out of melbourne and that awful mental state to the green green grasses of Canada - whistler, specifically. little by little, i began to enjoy my new life, once i moved past the sense of it being an extended holiday. people will call it that, but i was there for just shy of 3 years and it was not a holiday, it was my life. and it was good!
i realised that something huge had changed (very quietly) when i learned to snowboard and actually felt the adrenaline rush that goes with fearing for your life: at the top of my first blue run (for those playing at home, i refer to the Saddle on whistler) i thought i might die, and i didn't want to.
that's how i knew the worst of it was over.
the other thing i actually learned as i processed this realisation was the fact that being depressed is not equal to failure, or even failing. for someone like me, so capable of the insane happiness that a sunny day, a jug of beer and your bestest friends can bring, there must also be darker days as a balance. and that's what makes the sunny days so wonderful.
so no, there has not been a time when i thought about ending my own life. but there's definitely been a touch of darkness in some of my many days, and what i want to say to anyone pushing themselves through that same muddy puddle is it's ok to sit in a mud a while, but not forever. if i can push for anything in this post, it's to acknowledge that we all deal with depression at some point, and it's got to be easier to talk about this sort of thing than it currently is.
Visit Beyond Blue if you're depressed or think that a loved one might be- it's a place to start. I've also found this nice page by elephant journal to be helpful.

Black History Month – February: The story of Black History Month begins in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States. That September, the Harvard-trained historian Carter G. Woodson and the prominent minister Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH), an organization dedicated to researching and promoting achievements by black Americans and other peoples of African descent. Known today as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the group sponsored a national Negro History week in 1926, choosing the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The event inspired schools and communities nationwide to organize local events, establish history clubs and host performances and lectures.
In the decades that followed, mayors of cities across the country began issuing yearly proclamations recognizing Negro History Week. By the late 1960s, thanks in part to the Civil Rights Movement and a growing awareness of black identity, Negro History Week had evolved into Black History Month on many college campuses. President Gerald R. Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976, calling upon the public to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history."

This jacket was not my most successful project. However, I learned a lot and I think that I will wear it despite its faults. I figured out a long time ago that nothing I make is ever going to be perfect, but most people never notice the things that I do. Also, these pictures were taken at our brand new house!
This was a pattern-first project using Marfy 2745. I ordered the pattern along with several others without having a fabric in mind. It stayed in my stash until I ran across a metallic linen fabric on Mood's website. The pleats on the jackets reminded me of gills, and I thought the silvery fabric would echo the appearance of a shark. What I didn't consider was that linen is a poor choice for a tailoring project. This was my first mistake.
I did have the foresight to make a muslin, so fit is not one of the problems with this jacket. The cutting out went smoothly. The collar is hand tailored with hair canvas, but as previously mentioned, linen is not the easiest cloth for tailoring. However, I have come to not mind the inevitable wrinkles in the finished garment. As I was sewing, I wished that I had decided to line the jacket, as the linen is actually slightly transparent. I think a lining would also have been a nicer finish than the bias binding I ended up using.
However, none of these were my biggest problem. I did a horrible job of thinking through the construction steps before sewing. I actually started the jacket before the floral Marfy dress, so I did learn from my mistake and thought through my sewing plan for that dress. For this jacket, though, I did not really know how I was going to do the closure when I started. I ended up having raw edges at the front of the jacket when everything else was basically sewn. Instead of undoing a bunch of seams, I just pressed the raw edges under and then fell stitched them together. Sometimes hand sewing can really save the day, but I generally aim for less haphazard construction on my garments. Because of all my fiddling, the basting stitch on one side came undone, so the pleats are not completely symmetric. It is not too noticeable when worn (I hope!), but it is definitely another mistake.
I was originally thinking of doing frog closures for the jacket, but I decided those seemed too bulky. Instead I found these large hook and eyes, which I really like.
When I finished sewingthose on, I wasn't sure if this jacket would actually get much wear. All I could see were all the flaws. Fortunately, some time in the closet can do miracles for erasing flaws. By the time it had warmed up enough to wear this jacket, I found I quite liked it. The silvery white is neutral enough to match many things, and the linen provided an extra layer in air conditioned rooms while not being too hot. I have even worn it outside to provide sun protection. Despite all its flaws, my "shark jacket" might just turn out to be my go-to summer jacket. And I hopefully I have learned some lessons as well.

Swales are used to help water trees at the root. It is suggested that you should grow nitrogen fixing trees. These trees are said to bring nitrogen back into the soil through the help of bacteria from like beans do. For a quick blog about this go to "Beans – The Nitrogen Booster!!"
Below is a list of nitrogen fixing trees
- Black Locust
- Alder
- Autumn Olive
Arkansas is in zones 6-8 so Eastern Redbud and the Kentucky Coffee Tree would be good choices for the Ozarks. For more information go to "Introducing Nitrogen Fixing Trees: Solution to curing N2 deficiency" article from Permaculture News.Org

It's no secret that golang is my new favourite language. I've used it to implement the latest folktunefinder search engine and really enjoyed it.
On an unrelated note, whilst looking at what libraries are available I came across the gosndfile library written by Matt Kane / @nynexrepublic. It's a wrapper for libsndfile, a C library for reading and writing sound files.
I had a mysterious error in a project in Go:
myproject/types.go:89: fmt.Println not used
If you declare a variable or import a package in Go, that's a compiler error. Good thing too, in my opinion. But this one was puzzling. It wasn't complaining about an imported package, it was complaining about a function within a package. As far as I'm aware, the syntax of Go allows only for importing a whole package (or sub-package) at a time, rather than members of that package (as Python does).
The odd thing was that the error was reported on the last line of the file. The entire contents of that line was:
I love going out on my boat and I do it as often as I possibly can. Unfortunately the recent rain has meant that I've been unable to as often as I'd like. If the current is too fast, it's not sensible or safe to do it.
The Environment Agency has an excellent site which gives live information. But I wanted to put it on a map. Cue an evening of hunting down coordinates of every lock on the non-tidal thames (Google data is surprisingly bad) and writing an app to take data out of the online service and put it on a map.
I'm working on a Django app which is able to serve content on a number of subdomains. The app has a number of sites, which appear as subdomains of the main domain. There's some middleware to look things up from the request and do the right routing.
In the wild the subdomains will be done with DNS, but for local development, I'm creating entries in my /etc/hosts such as demosite.local, using .local as my 'main domain' locally. After a colleague integrated some authentication code, I suddenly found I couldn't log in on my development environment. It didn't work with either the custom login screen or the Django admin. Very odd.
Came across this when deploying a Django app to a fresh VM, installing with Python PIP from a requirements file.
I have been banging my proverbial head against a brick wall (or my actual head against a proverbial wall) for the best part of a few days, on and off, trying to find the cause of an inconsistency in behaviour between Safari and Chrome in a Facebook canvas app.
I'm developing a Facebook app at work and was stuck on an issue for a bit. This post is just a mental note, and to prevent this happening.
The BBC love their esoteric, obscure electronic music. I think it all started with Sigur Rós in Planet Earth and proliferated from there. It's even started creeping into BBC Radio 4 trailers now. The trailer for Will Self's 'A Point of View: In Defence of Obscure Words' had just such a music bed. I decided that I would very much like to know what that music was.
After coming back from a team-building trip, I started to notice things were going a bit slow on my work laptop. I took it with me for casual emailing and working on the train, but spent about 4 days not really using it and certainly not 'working' on it. It came out once to display the lyrics to a song about Pithivier, and once to check emails, but that was about it.

Member survey identified issues to take to the bargaining table.
Vancouver (24 May 2016) — Bargaining is underway for a new collective agreement between the Health Sciences Association of B.C. (HSABC/NUPGE) and West Coast Medical Imaging (WCMI).
Bargaining moving ahead for health professionals
The HSABC/NUPGE bargaining team began negotiations at the end of April and resumed on May 17. The committee consists of Gary Finnerty and Fran Wagner from the Lower Mainland, Lee McKellar and Jenn Frost from Victoria, HSABC staff negotiators Dani Demetlika and Gurleen Sahota and labour relations specialist Jessica Magalios. There are two days of bargaining scheduled in May, and another two days scheduled at the beginning of June.
HSABC/NUPGE surveyed all members at WCMI last winter about priorities for bargaining, and the bargaining committee developed proposals based on the issues identified by members. Bargaining opened with proposals for comprehensive changes in collective agreement language to address members' concerns. In addition, the parties have agreed to work collaboratively to resolve the issues related to seniority of members who work as casuals.
HSABC/NUPGE represents almost 200 members working at sites in the Lower Mainland and Victoria.
The National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) is one of Canada's largest labour organizations with over 360,000 members. Our mission is to improve the lives of working families and to build a stronger Canada by ensuring our common wealth is used for the common good. NUPGE

It's tournament season in professional wrestling. New Japan and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla have announced the participants in their G1 Climax and Battle of Los Angeles respectively. Not to be outdone the WWE has thrown their hat into the fight with the creation of NXT's Cruiserweight Classic.
The WWE's third, and arguably most exciting, brand has raised the bar once again for themselves with the creation of a tournament bringing in some of the best 205 and under grapplers from 16 countries. The initial announcement of the tournament a couple of months ago caused a buzz getting the Internet Wrestling Community in a frenzy trying to guess who would be a taking part.
NXT teamed up with Evolve in the USA as well as Progress and Revolution Pro Wrestling in the United Kingdom and put on some qualifying matches. This brought about a real sports feel to the whole concept by not making all the competitors just a hand selected class with no rhyme or reason behind the selections. These wrestlers that won the qualifying matches were the first hard names we received until a couple weeks ago when the remainder of the field was announced and boy is it impressive.
Even to a hardcore indie follower you may be unfamiliar with some of the names on here. Quick YouTube searches will find you a lot of material on them and be able to get you up to speed with many. NXT hosted a live weigh in and opening ceremony for the tournament via Facebook Live videos as little teaser into the wrestlers. Add this to a show that will have Mauro Ranallo and Corey Graves looking in depth at the match ups and giving SportsCenter like coverage and this will be a truly unique format.
With the logistics out of the way I present to you my Top 5 Potential Winners of the Cruiserweight Classic.
Rich Swann
Swann is the only 100% full time NXT competitor in the field. His pedigree includes Evolve, PWG and Dragon Gate among other indies. He signed a developmental deal in 2015 and he has been working the NXT touring schedule along with some appearances on NXT television. Being that he is the only participant that is wholely WWE's it would make sense to put over your own prospect. Even with that in mind it doesn't mean that he isn't deserving. Swann has more than earned his spot with NXT and only 25 years old a win in the CWC would springboard him up the card.
Johnny Gargano
Johnny Wrestling, along with occasional tag partner Tommaso Ciampa, works with NXT under a modified contract. They are only signed for NXT and are still allowed to take independent bookings. While Ciampa has a more fearsome look that the WWE tends to like Gargano's skill has become known the world over as top notch. It's this style that the NXT crowd loves to see from wrestlers and makes him an instant favorite.
Cedric Alexander
Alexander has accomplished so much in such a short time wrestling. He started off in 2009 and by 2010 was wrestling regularly with Ring of Honor. After a few years of tag team action he began a singles run that saw him put on great matches in ROH and PWG. His unique mix of power and speed makes him a unique participant of the tournament and could be a dark horse in the whole thing.
Kota Ibushi
Ibushi might be the biggest free agent in pro wrestling right now. The former New Japan and DDT star left both companies recently after putting together a couple of the best years of his young career. He strikes hard, has an arsenal of high flying moves that makes jaws drop and is a solid mat technician. After appearing in the crowd for NXT Takeover: Dallas rumors went crazy of Ibushi's imminent arrival to the US and WWE specifically. The Japanese superstar has a lot of support from the die hard community and he will be tough to beat in the bracket.
Zach Sabre Jr
For every internet fan that loves Kota Ibushi there is at least another that love ZSJ. Already in his 11th year of wrestling the British born grappler is probably the best pure wrestler in the entire tournament. With the retirement of Daniel Bryan he may now be the best technical wrestler in the world. Look for ZSJ to wow the world with mat skills like we rarely see, sick submissions and stiff strikes. If you asked me to pick my winner for the CWC, it's this young man.

I won't even go into work - but just know that it's been a little insane, I'm learning a lot, and learning more and more that accounting is really not my cup of tea.
On top of work - I took on another volunteer project, this time - demolding a house in Pontilly. The place belongs to a really cool, parapalegic guy whose house was about 50 feet from the levee breach in that neighborhood. He evacuated to Dallas, and has all his contractors lined up to work on the house - but none of them would touch it until the mold was taken care of. [Enter Amy and a crew of volunteers/musicians from Philly to New Orleans.]
Philly to New Orleans is this really cool music exchange/ volunteer program. Musicians from Philadelphia come down to New Orleans and play gigs down here at night, and go around to hear all the local bands. Then during the day they volunteer in the rebuilding efforts.
Philly to New Orleans is this really cool music exchange/ volunteer program. Musicians from Philadelphia come down to New Orleans and play gigs down here at night, and go around to hear all the local bands. Then during the day they volunteer in the rebuilding efforts.
So I spent the week de-molding with The Great Unknown, Throws Like a Girl, and Andrew Lipkey (whose name I cannot spell, and website I cannot find, but who was very talented and noteworthy). Also a couple of bartenders from World Cafe Live in Philly, Andrew Lipkey's wife, and this really cool woman named Gretchen, who helped fundraise back in Philly for the whole project.
I was a little worried the first morning on the job. I picked them up at the bus stop - and they all had their rock-n-roll t-shirts on and cigarettes hanging out of their mouths... But they turned out to be extremely enthusiastic de-molders -- an almost completely unprecedented concept.
De-molding is one of the most horrible tedious tasks ever invented for volunteers. It involves literally scraping every square inch of a house with wire brushes and power grinders, literally vacuuming every square inch of a house with a shop vac, and literally wiping every square inch of a house with pinesol and shop rags. But they cranked up the 80s music and scraped like champs.
All this to say... I've been sort of busy helping plan this project, carrying it out, and then coughing up my lungs afterwards. I was able to use the respirator filters that folks donated for the gut last month again for this project. On the last day though, a set got so wet (from sweat) we couldn't use them anymore - so I wore an N95 (dust mask). After only 4 hours on that last day without the proper filters - my throat was raw and felt like it was going to close up, and I spent the next two days with the "Katrina cough"* ...Which has now morphed into some sort of ongoing cold.
I am only noting this - to again point out that importance of respirator filters and my extreme gratefulness for that donation.
*For about the first year after the levees broke in New Orleans, everyone in the city was walking around with a chronic cough from all the dust, debris, mold and who-knows-what-else in the air. The clinics and doctors around here just started labelling it the "Katrina cough", and everyone had it, including myself - and several members of my Americorps team back in 2006.
Anyway... I've also been busy with a certain someones TWENTY-SECOND BIRTHDAY!
He's gonna hate me for posting this picture, but let this be a warning to the rest of you: Don't date a blogger without expecting your picture and personal business to be spread all over the internet, only to be intercepted by stalkers and murderers.
Since we both have birthdays in May - that means that for 16 days in the year, I am only three years older than my boyfriend instead of four- and ergo, not such a total cradle robber. A funny story... I went to the store to get Anthony's birthday gift - a video game. And found this cool dinosaur birthday sack to put it in. I went to check out, and the cashier, putting two-and-two together, wished me a happy mother's day. ...YIKES.
Overall - I'd say the last few weeks have been good and productive. I feel pretty good about my life here so far. I'm dating a cool guy, have some good friends, I like the people I work with (even if the job is a little straining), and I find time for a volunteer project once a month or so. Life is good.

Votes required to get Wheelers Mid North Coast Wheelchair Rugby program iniative off the ground
TONY Lineham and wife Kate have discovered first-hand how much of a role wheelchair rugby has played in the lives of Ryley Batt and Andrew Edmondson.
Now, they hope a program aimed at giving children an opportunity to play sport shouldn't depend on whether they are in a wheelchair or not.
"My husband trains Ryley and Andrew and we've been getting to know the boys and been good mates for a while now," Mrs Lineham said.
"We've found out through them how much of a role wheelchair rugby has played in their lives."
The first step will be to secure enough state government funding that will allow them to purchase 10 wheelchair rugby chairs in the hope of starting the program early next year.
"We don't really have enough opportunities in Port Macquarie for kids that have disabilities and a wheelchair shouldn't be something that holds them back."
The program will be held in the Port Macquarie Indoor Stadium and run for an hour of an afternoon throughout a school term.
Batt and Edmondson will be mentors for those who attend depending on their international schedule.
"The idea is the kids that have a disability will come in and they can bring a mate," Mrs Lineham said.
"That can be a best friend from school, big brother, mum, dad, cousin and that friend can be in a wheelchair or not.
"We feel that it could be an opportunity for kids to feel empowered and feel like they get the same chance as everybody else.
"Just because you're a kid in a chair doesn't mean you should have to miss out on that."
To secure the funding, the program needs to receive the most public votes by midnight on August 15.
"We're after about $120,000 which will cover the cost of a set of 10 rugby wheelchairs.
"They're really expensive and we have to get them manufactured overseas and then shipped to Australia."
Visit https://mycommunityproject.service.nsw.gov.au/projects and search for Wheelers- Mid North Coast Wheelchair Rugby to cast your vote.
What else is happening in sport?

Photographer:Fotograaf: Archive city council of Maastricht
MAASTRICHT. Students from the Refugee Project helped to receive new refugees in the Netherlands last week. On 13 October, the Maastricht city council decided to accept hundreds of additional asylum seekers in the Limmel refugee centre. "I received a phone call asking if there were volunteers from the Refugee Project who'd be willing to help out", says Arie de Fijter, student pastor at The Innbetween, where the project was launched. "And so ten students went to Limmel on Thursday to help out."
The students welcomed the refugees on arrival, served them food and helped them to register. "And not only that: they had a warm word for everyone", says Lilianne Geraerds from the city council, who coordinates the volunteers at the Limmel centre. "Students are very internationally oriented, engaged and easygoing." After three days, the refugees left Maastricht in order to be housed somewhere else more permanently.
The Refugee Project is not the only student initiative that has been set up to assist refugees. For instance, a number of UCM students are currently on their way to the border of Hungary, Serbia and Croatia to report on the situation there and find out where help is needed. The International Federation of Medical Students Associations will hold an Open Mic Night on 19 November, the proceeds of which will go towards the cause. And law students are working on setting up a Legal Aid Clinic for refugees.

After back-to-back days with highs in the single-digits, the 20s will feel much nicer on Thursday.
KSTP Chief Meteorologist Dave Dahl said some snow will move in late overnight and into the morning, likely affecting the morning commute. Dahl said 1 to 2 inches is expected for most of the Twin Cities, but areas in northeastern Minnesota and west central Wisconsin could see up to 6 inches of snow by the end of the day.
Highs will get back into the low to mid-20s and lows will be above zero once again.
Looking ahead, more snow showers are possible Friday morning and possibly Saturday, and temps will drop again as we head into the weekend.

Easy to Make Chocolate Easter Bunnies
2-3 hours
- 20-50
The word Easter brings to mind colorful eggs and chocolate bunnies. These treats have always been staples during this time of the year, and not having them around the table will make Easter seem lacking and incomplete. Here are some tips on easy to make chocolate bunnies for the upcoming Easter season.
Type of Chocolate
When making your chocolate bunnies, you have to determine which kind of chocolate you will be using. You would naturally choose your favorite type of chocolate. You can choose from either milk, white or dark chocolate. However, if you have the time and resources you can do all three for variety. Nowadays, you don't have to make your own chocolate melts and you can just easily buy them in specialty shops or craft supply stores. There are usually different bags of chocolate for sale in these shops. This makes the chocolate bunny-making process simpler.
Bunny Molds
You can also choose from a wide variety of bunny molds. These can be bought at your local grocery store or at specialty bake stores in your area. Try to determine the size and design of your bunnies. You can get bunny molds that are either quite large or small.
Double Boiler Method
When melting the chocolate for the chocolate bunnies, use a double boiler method to avoid burning the chocolate. Do this by heating a few cups of water in a pan. When the water starts to boil, place another pan or glass bowl with the chocolate melts in it on top of the pan with the boiling water. The indirect heat will melt the chocolate thoroughly but will prevent it from burning. Mix and stir the melting chocolate until you have reached the desired consistency.
Additional Flavoring
Chocolate bunnies don't need to be made of just pure chocolate. You can add a little variety to make the taste more interesting. For example, you can spice things up by adding some peppermint oil into the mixture so your bunny will have a little bite. You can also mix in a little peanut butter to make chocolate peanut butter bunnies. Depending on your taste, the point is you can mix anything into your concoction to make your Easter bunnies taste how you want.
Once the chocolate has cooled and your bunny has formed its shape, you can further coat it with different flavored chocolate. If you made dark-chocolate bunnies, dip it in white chocolate so you will have dark-chocolate bunnies coated in white chocolate. It's like having the best of both worlds. Better yet, dip one half in white chocolate and the other half in milk chocolate. You can now enjoy all three types of chocolate in your chocolate bunnies.
