Gustav remains a Tropical Storm for now, but forecasters predict it will regain hurricane strength by the end of today and pass over western Cuba into the Gulf Sunday morning. Current projections have it hitting Gulf oil and gas production sites on Monday as a major hurricane. Virtually all oil and gas production was shut-in during Hurricane Katrina, with some fields being closed for a number of months. The impact of Gustav will depend on how its intensity and size develops over the next three days.
On the issue of energy and climate change, a a Reuters article today claims the current increase in energy prices and slowing economic growth is hurting climate progress. They say that energy security has risen higher than climate as a policy priority, which could move nations toward coal. While I think some climate initiatives can suffer due to these circumstances, higher fuel prices are moving people toward climate responsibility without policy.
The higher gas price is moving consumers away from big SUVs and trucks faster than CAFE standards could have imagined. It is bringing in new revenue for mass transit from higher ridership when politicians often lack the political will to properly support Amtrak and other rail and bus systems. The oil price increase is equivalent to a $150 per ton of carbon dioxide tax, without scared politicians having to make a move. In fact, climate solutions of energy efficiency and renewables deployment are becoming an economic necessity rather than just a privilege for the well-off.
If the coal price hadn't tripled over the last two years, I would have agreed with the article. But the rise in coal prices has shown that all fossil fuels are vulnerable to supply constraints. And the best solution to achieve each goal of energy security, economic prosperity and climate mitigation happens to be the same: energy efficiency and renewables deployment.

- make this recipe
- user reviews ()
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions (4)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 15 ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 cup chopped, seeded tomatoes
- 3 ounces Cotija or queso fresco cheese, crumbled, or reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (3/4 cup)
- 1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped canned chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce*
- 12 sheets frozen phyllo dough (14x9-inch rectangles), thawed
- Butter-flavor nonstick cooking spray
- 1/3 cup light sour cream
- Sliced green onions (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium saucepan heat oil over medium heat. Add the 1/2 cup green onions and the garlic; cook about 3 minutes or just until green onions are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in beans, corn, rice, 1/2 cup of the tomatoes, the cheese, and chile peppers. Set aside.
2. Unroll phyllo dough; remove one sheet of the phyllo dough and place on a flat surface. (As you work, cover the remaining phyllo dough with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.) Lightly coat the phyllo sheet with cooking spray. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top of the first sheet and lightly coat with cooking spray. Repeat with two more sheets to make a stack of four sheets. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets to make two more stacks. Cut each phyllo stack in half crosswise to make six stacks total (each 9x7 inches).
3. To assemble burritos, spoon about 2/3 cup of the bean mixture along one long side of each phyllo stack, leaving about 1 1/2 inches of space on each end. Fold short sides up and over filling; roll up phyllo around filling, starting at the long side. Place burritos, seam sides down, on a large baking sheet. Coat tops of burritos with cooking spray.
4. Bake about 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown and filling is heated through. Serve with the remaining 1/2 cup chopped tomato and the sour cream. If desired, sprinkle sour cream with additional green onions.
- Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.

Clem Snide/Plants and Animals/Heligoats; March 26, 2009; High Noon Saloon
I declare false advertising. This was not Clem Snide. A band that does not contain multi-instrumentalist Pete Fitzpatrick might just as well be Eef Barzelay and band. For years the skinny, oddly handsome Pete with his euphonium and banjo was the only constant member of the band other than Eef. Occasionally he would get to sing a song, like the insanely catchy "Mnemonic Hordes," from his other project the Pee Wee Fist, and yeah, sometimes he got a little carried away with the banjo feedback, but he was essential to that band. My protest is not against the show, which was pretty terrifically entertaining due to the fact that Eef seems to be on some sort of narcotics which made him unrelentingly goofy, it's just not Clem Snide.
The band's just released record Happy Bird, I've heard, was actually recorded several years ago and sat on the shelf until now. It lists four members, Pete and his bassist cousin Brendan, but it doesn't compare to their previous record, the uniformly excellent The End of Love. Eef's most recent solo effort is actually a more worthy successor. Still, playing under the Clem Snide moniker gave him the freedom to dip deeper into the band catalog than he would in a solo show, despite the fact that he wrote all the songs to begin with.
That actually made the whole thing worthwhile for me, as I got to hear my two absolute favorite Clem Snide songs of all time. The slinky "Something Beautiful" with its Sheldon-esque list of things "you make me wanna" do (like not turn on the windshield wipers when the rain begins to fall) and the insanely catchy "Ice Cube" which may be one of the best two minute songs ever, were worth any sort of name-based deception. The night ended with the terrific "I Love the Unknown" which could be the band's theme song as I can't remember a show where they didn't play it.
It wasn't easy getting to that point in the night though. The interesting thing about middle band Plants and Animals was that they were French Canadian, which really isn't much when you get right down to it. As I found myself standing through one endless song after another I wondered how I had been tricked into seeing a jam band. It was easier to see what Eef saw in opener Heligoats. The solo performer had Eef's delivery and knack for putting together interesting combinations of words, and his ridiculous introductions in which he gave a plot line that, as far as I could tell, had nothing to do with the song itself were interesting, but ultimately the songs weren't as good as the sum of their parts.
I missed ya, Pete, but at least I got to hear "Ice Cube."

I don't normally bang my fist on my desk and demand the Mets make trades but if the Marlins series suggested anything it's that the Mets' offense needs to improve, the bullpen could be better, the starting rotation could use some depth and the bench is shaky. Other than that though, looking great.

In Brownsville, Two Colleges Split and a Community Suffers
The separation of UT-Brownsville and Texas Southmost College leads to hundreds of layoffs.
The separation of UT-Brownsville and Texas Southmost College leads to hundreds of layoffs.
Susan Mills, a professor at the University of Texas at Brownsville/Texas Southmost College, is suing the university officials who fired her—apparently the first lawsuit to come out of the schools' messy split that's cost the jobs of nearly 100 faculty members.
The Senate Higher Education Committee passed a slightly amended version of SB 24, the bill merging UT-Brownsville and UT-Pan American, after testimony from UT System and Valley city officials Wednesday morning.
Lawmakers held an emotional first hearing Wednesday on a proposal to merge the University of Texas-Pan American and UT-Brownsville into a new mega-university for South Texas.

text: SPH @ CPHA '12 By Kate ToogoodJune 12, 2012 Print Share The Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) may be breathing a sigh of relief today—the 2012 annual CPHA conference has just wrapped up. Edmonton was the host of this year's conference, and approximately 800 delegates enjoyed sessions and presentations at the Shaw Conference Centre, tours of West Edmonton Mall and a final dinner at the Muttart Conservatory. This year's theme was "creating sustainable environments," and the School of Public Health had much to say on this topic. From assessing the built environment, to investigating the impact of food safety on disease and illness, to promoting healthy behaviours in children, more than 30 School faculty, staff and students presented workshops, and oral and poster presentations. As a Pathfinder sponsor, the School of Public Health had a strong presence at this year's conference. In the exhibit hall, delegates were able to learn about the School's education programs and research activities—they were even treated to prize giveaways via Twitter. The School also hosted a networking reception for faculty, staff, alumni and friends. More than 100 guests from the School, other universities, and the broad public health community across Canada enjoyed conversation and canapés. The reception provided an opportunity for Delegates from a variety of institutions and sectors across geographic and political boundaries to meet and discuss their work and research interests. Reflecting on the evening's festivities and the conference itself, Interim Dean Lory Laing is already looking forward to next year's conference. "It was such a great way to connect with many familiar and new faces," said Laing. "This conference brings together the brightest minds of public health, so we have to take advantage of these opportunities to discuss how we can work together to promote and protect public health."

Bleeding Heart Bakery closed by Health Department
Posted by Monica Eng at 3:15 CDT
Chicago's Bleeding Heart Bakery was closed today by the Chicago Department of Public Health after a routine unannounced inspection. The closure was prompted by two clogged sinks--one was for employee handwashing and the other was in a three-compartment kitchen sink. For this and an overstuffed garbage container in the alley, the bakery was closed and will be fined $1,250. The department says the bakery will be allowed to reopen after "corrective action" is taken and the bakery is reinspected.

I'm a Mystery/Thriller/Suspense writer from small town USA who struggles everyday to balance my passion for prose against the need to be a full-time bread winner. Finding ways to devote more time to my writing is the challenge, but for now all I can do is follow this tug at my heart to wherever it leads. I'm here primarily to soak up all the knowledge I can from the writing-centric blogosphere, but I'll do my best to contribute by thinking of new and innovative ways to churn the writing pot.

F is for Feedback
60 comments:
I agree that spreading the feedback is one of the tougher parts of the challenge! So man blogs!
The good part, of course, is that you get to meet tons of friendly bloggers who may be right around the corner from you in the blogosphere.
J.W. AldenI love to get comments, and I love to make them too, although I usually only comment if I have something to say. I've seen people mention that they won't comment on a blog because they don't know if comments from "outsiders" are welcome. I'd say, if you enjoy it, comment. Who doesn't want positive feedback?
ReplyDeleteOne ring-a-dingy... nice choice of topic. Those comments are what keeps some of us going. :)
Jules @ Trying To Get Over The RainbowYour phone must ding a lot! I agree it is a challenge for me to make time to visit all my blogging buddies regularly, but I love making those connections.
Allison (Geek Banter)Comments are great, even if only a couple - it makes my day to think someone spent approx. 3 minutes reading my post. I love reading other blogs too and have managed to get through about 350 blogs so far and counting! It all part of the fun, especially when you find a post with the same word for the day.
ReplyDeleteI like comments to mean something, whether I'm leaving them or receiving them. So "great post" doesn't do much for me. I confess that I am not commenting on every blog I pop into in the challenge. Some blogs are just not my thing, and so I pop out again -- some I comment on, and some others I comment on and follow, and continue to enjoy and comment day to day.
I'm definitely with you that feedback is important, and I've received some great feedback in my years of blogging, and already during this challenge. I hope I am able to give some now and then that is seen to be of value, as well.Now, that's a thought. Have my blog roll via email. That way I wouldn't miss anyone's post. Now, I have to go look. Must kabbitz with you after A-Z.
Sia McKye OVER COFFEESmile! I agree; they are a pure form of feedback. If I get fewer comments than usual, I look at the topic so I know what falls flat. Sometimes a really good comment comes in that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Shannon at The Warrior Muse, co-host of the 2012 #atozchallenge! Twitter: @AprilA2ZDing ding ding! You have a comment!
Don't overwhelm yourself friend, it's going to be a busy month for all of us. Best we can do is the best we can do. We all get it cuz we're in the same boat.
Well, maybe a smaller responsibility boat than you since you're a host.
Crap, did I just make it worse?? :)So well said. I find that I look forward to comments on a post more than anything. Yes- their absence speaks volumes. Following too. It's great to know others care when you post, even if it sits in the Google reader queue for a day or so. I think I need to tweet your post! Catching up today on A to Z reading.

No need for knights in shining armor when our daughters are no longer damsels in distress. |
The Houston Chronicle's Cindy George wrote this week that mothers are turning to gynecologists for sex education. It's "the talk" for girls conducted by "the lady doctors."
Which kind of begs the question: who's talking to the boys?
Apparently it's the pediatricians who write columns for the New York Times. The same day George's article came out, Dr. Perri Klass wrote an interesting piece that while a bit disjointed raised a useful nugget for discussion:
How do we teach our boys about sex and respecting women in a way that doesn't treat them like potential rapists?
Klass starts off with a re-hash of Daddy Daze's dilemma, when opening doors for a lady or letting her off the elevator first "there's a fine line between chivalry and chauvinism."
Lesson learned for boys: women are weak and fragile creatures incapable of doing anything for themselves.
Lesson learned for girls: men are much stronger than you are and will continue to be because they get so much more exercise what with all the door opening.
"Girls need to be treated with more respect," Klass quotes a fellow pediatrician and mother of two girls as saying. "We need to focus more on empowering girls in relationships, particularly relationships with the opposite sex. I think of myself very much as a feminist."
Haven't we taken huge strides in this direction? I seem to remember reading something about the sexual revolution. The idea of young virgins on a crusade to safeguard their hymens from the boys' uncontrollable sexual urges has been quaint for decades. Same goes with the idea that if a young women has sex, it's because she's lacking self-esteem. It may, at times, be the case, but girls have hormones, too, and acting on those urges has precious little to do with "allowing" themselves to be violated.
Men, however still are seen as potential threats. Klass seems to think boys need to be taught the small gestures of chivalry if only for self-preservation, assuring those they meet that they are well-behaved.—"No need to worry little lady, the nice guy holding the door wouldn't dream of attacking you. His mama taught him better than that."—That's not exactly the message these symbolic gestures portray, however, it reinforces the stereotype to boys and girls alike, that women are weak and need to be protected (from men who open doors for them.)
As the mother of a daughter who has a very good chance of turning out heterosexual, it does her no good for me to teach her to view men as predators. She eventually will want a close relationship with one of them. I don't have a boy, but I imagine it does them no good to view women as passive receptacles to their out-of-control desires. They eventually will learn otherwise— hopefully from my daughter who will be demanding respect.
Instead of separating out the boys vs. the girls in entryways, elevators and sex education talks, why don't we teach teens of both genders about the physical and emotional consequences of physical relationships?
Boys are fairly romantic creatures themselves, although that's not always our culture's message. They have emotional needs, same as women. Teach them about self-respect, same as girls, and how to say no to the societal pressures that all too often tell them they need to conquer to be macho. After all, moms and dads, thanks to the feminist revolution there are a lot of cougars out there just waiting to take advantage.

309 people recommend parking here 194 left comments
The parking attendant was very helpful and the entire process was simple and convenient.
Really appreciate the attendant that had to work Thanksgiving
It was easy to find and close the stadium .
Garage was clean and well taken care of. Attendant was friendly and courteous.
Great that it was open at 9am so I could make it to tailgate. Bad that it was far from the stadium & it was frreeeezing!! Wish there was a shuttle bus or something. Price was affordable & reasonable.thank you.
Parking was convenient for Ravens game... about 20 minute walk. Safe area and plenty of empty spaces. The signage could have been clearer. The signs on S. Gay street did not say Inner Harbor Center Garage. We went through the entrance on the next cross street. Location allowed us to avoid all the traffic getting out of Baltimore going past the stadium...we took a longer route going through Fells Point to get to 95 south, but we did not sit in traffic.
This is a covered parking garage about 1 block north of the harbor. This location is located just a few blocks from Harborplace and the Baltimore Community College.
Vehicle height restriction: 72 inches
Managed by Landmark Parking. This location is a commercial parking garage.
Preferred parking for Rams Head Live, Baltimore SoundStage, Baltimore City Hall, Baltimore Convention Center, National Aquarium - Baltimore.
This garage is located on E Lombard from Commerce St to S Gay St. There are entrances on both Gay St and Commerce St. Look for a vertical blue "Park" sign in white letters. From Gay street, you will make a LEFT into the garage. Be sure not to mistakenly park in the facility across the street.

Hi, new member and excited to have opportunity to share with other colleagues. Was wondering if anyone has information on how their school is implementing RTI or more specifically RTI2 (middle/high)? I have found good web sites and other resources, but am interested in real implementation. I would like to focus on better instruction, and keep the number of students who require an RTI referral low. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

A disabled man at the centre of allegations that he was assaulted by a Brisbane Lions player during Mad Monday celebrations has clarified his story, saying he was not "tipped out of his wheelchair" as stated earlier by his solicitor to News Ltd.
Robert Partridge told News that the player ran towards him as he rounded a corner in his wheelchair, pushing him from behind, forcing him to extend his arms to the ground to brace himself.
The players then allegedly took his taxi, throwing food at the man when he protested.
The Brisbane Lions have launched an investigation into the incident, which casts a pall over the club's Best and Fairest Award tonight.
AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said the investigations were underway into the alleged incident, but was surprised that, if true, it had not come to light earlier.
''I'm aware of the report and we are looking into it and have already had conversations this morning with Brisbane Lions,'' Demetriou told 3AW.
''Suffice to say there's not enough information at the moment, I wouldn't be jumping to any conclusions. What's interesting about this story is that it happened on Sunday and it's Friday, normally these things would come out within 24 hours.
''It's pretty hard to keep these things quiet but we're taking the matter seriously (and) we'll look into it (but) we're not jumping to any conclusions.''
The allegations have emerged just days after St Kilda player Clinton Jones was fined, forced to apologise and make a charity donation after using a gas lighter to set a dwarf entertainer's clothes alight at an end of season Saints function in South Melbourne on Monday.
Jones donated $3000 to the Kids with Cancer Foundation Australia and the victim, Blake Johnston, has accepted an apology over the incident.
''You know my views on Mad Monday. I don't get it,'' Demetriou said. ''We've spent considerable amount this year with all the clubs talking about all the risk of Mad Monday.

Sitting On The Other Side
Guest blogger Vanessa talks about her experiences as a VIK member.
The day begins like any other and I have a meeting to attend. The meeting is to be held with two other YoungMinds VIKs and the regional worker, along with a person from the education services and CAMHS. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss an audio recording to be used as a training tool, for young people who may struggle with anxiety and how this affects their attendance at school.
I am walking to a meeting that at any other time would have sent me running to the hills, but I am calm. You see...this is what I have noticed since I started volunteering with YoungMinds, that I can attend meetings with key professionals and keep myself together. Maybe it is a sign that I have become more confident, or maybe it is because I'm a little less inclined to rarely care what people now think of my personality these days, but the truth is that it feels like I am somewhat protected with my new status as a volunteer. This is what it all comes down to. That word: Status.
Throughout my years in the middle of a Mental Health Minefield I have been many things and fulfilled many roles. I have been the patient, turned student nurse, back to patient, and now I find myself in the delicate position of being both a patient whilst at the same time trying to make changes in how young people with Mental Health Problems are both seen and treated. Throughout all that time I cannot say that my views and thoughts have changed significantly. I still like to be opinionated, will grab every opportunity I can to stand on my soapbox and mostly I like to challenge people and have a good old- fashioned debate. I think what I have to say has some value behind it most of the time, and the other half the time, well I'm just your average 20 something year old.
However, back to my point and the meeting at hand. Undaunted I allow my thoughts to be heard, I answer questions and in turn question some of their thoughts and thinking. It is reassuring to see that these two separate authorities are working together in order to make a better training package for people working with young people. What I find even more wonderfully surprising is that they genuinely seem to value what we have to say, and are not just there for the sake of being there, or to tick some box. The meeting has gone well, as have other meetings that I reflect back on, and the same applies for other work that I have done since becoming a VIK member. This should be all positive but I leave with something nagging at me which I can't quite put my finger on.
Later it comes to me in a somewhat sickening revelation. The status thing and something more such as environment. You see in all the years that I have been on the inside as a patient all my thoughts have been either dismissed or deemed as the irrelevant ramblings of a mentally unstable person. Words and thoughts have often be turned round and used against me. What in that meeting were seen to be positive attributes like being challenging, thought provoking and challenging a professional's logic; would and have often been my downfall in a different environment such as a ward round. In a ward round or a meeting with professionals in charge of my care, who have access to my notes, I would be seen as nothing other than difficult, resistant, argumentative, possibly manipulative...and a million other negative adjectives.
The term service user involvement is often thrown around a lot in the Mental Health field and it is becoming more common, but does that mean that our involvement is only relevant when we reach a certain point? Does it become irrelevant if we dare to disagree? Does having a different view to someone who just happens to be sitting on the other side mean that we are wrong and they are right and we have to take it? At the moment I worry that it does. I wonder how many people will read this and if put together with my diagnosis will see me as having a problem with authority, as opposed to questionable observations of a curious, and slightly cynical mind?
So the conclusion I came to is unfortunately quite sad...that whatever words I use, whatever logical, rational argument that I put across maybe it doesn't quite matter. Maybe what matters most is what side I'm on, whether I'm a patient or a volunteer, whether someone knows my diagnosis or not.
Ultimately in essence I wonder if what matters most is something as trivial as if I'm sat in a shirt and jeans with freshly washed hair as opposed to wearing my pyjamas and slippers.

FOR 10 years Zeus Goldberg presided over Woods, a popular restaurant on Madison Avenue in the 60's that managed to be elegant but not intimidating. Three weeks ago Mr. Goldberg presided over the restaurant's closing, watching from a barstool as an auctioneer disposed of dishes, cutlery and kitchen equipment.
''The building was bought by a foreign company for an outrageous amount of money,'' said Mr. Goldberg. He said he would have had to move, but a comparable 1,500-square-foot space in the neighborhood would have cost $150,000 to $200,000 a year in rent, five times what he had been paying.
Escalating rents are putting many New York restaurateurs out of business and racking the nerves of survivors. The cost of space, however, is just part of an increasingly frenetic - and worrisome - restaurant scene, according to interviews with restaurant owners, suppliers, real estate brokers and consultants. The feeling is pervasive that business is softer, that succeeding is harder, that the margin for error is shrinking.

Not surprisingly, 100 percent of those voting in last week's poll at www.spencermagnet.com remember where they were when the planes struck the towers of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11.
Some of our staff members shared last week where we were on that horrific day – we all remembered.
I'm not old enough to attest, but from what I hear, it's like the day that John F. Kennedy was shot or maybe even Martin Luther King Jr. The news was so devastating that when you heard it, time stood still for just long enough to etch that memory into your mind forever.
While, individually, we may all be able to recall where we were on that Tuesday, I ask you for a moment to think back to where we were as a nation.
If there is anything positive that can be pulled from that tragic day, I believe it is how strong we came together.
From Washington to Florida to Maine to Texas, we were all Americans. We loved each other, we supported each other and fought for each other.
For what was, in the grand scheme of things, a short time, we became the America we all knew we could be.
In my clouded little mind, I like to walk around each day thinking the world is still full of butterflies and rainbows, but a morning radio show – most likely sports talk radio, because I rarely listen to anything else – snapped me out of that fog.
One commentator said he would forever remember Sept. 11, but also Sept. 12, because on that day we moved forward. We began our collaborative bounce back and showed the world that we could not be defeated.
Life, as terribly difficult as it was, went on, and rather than let tragedy knock us down, we latched arms, pulled each other up and came back stronger than before.
However, that commentator went on to say something to the effect of this: we were so close back then, we were so strong, but look at us now – we're as divided as ever.
I openly admit I don't pay as much attention to national politics as I probably should, but I pay enough attention to know our leaders don't get along and they rarely agree on anything.
A lot of my time is spent in meetings or at events covering government in Spencer County. Anyone with eyes can see that there have been divisions in our own community over the past few months.
While I know our situations aren't as bad locally as they are in D.C., I wish we could all learn a lesson from our country as it stood on Sept. 12, 2001.
If America could band as closely together as it did after our country was attacked by terrorists, imagine what could happen if we put our heads together today.
If Taylorsville could band as closely together as it did on Sunday during memorial services to honor lives lost on 9/11 and those still risking their lives today, imagine what we could do today or tomorrow.
We banded together in times of trouble. Just think what we could do if that same strength were applied in times of comfort.

Master of Education Program at Covenant College.
The Master of Education program (MED) at Covenant College provides a Christian community for graduate study over the course of three consecutive years. The program began in 1991 and gained accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) in December, 1994, and with Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) in April, 2007. One of the attractive features of the MED program is that students are in residence on campus for three weeks in the summer, an aspect of graduate work that is becoming very rare. Students have the unique opportunity to discuss and deliberate during classes, as well as fellowship together in the residence hall setting.
The MED academic year consists of a pre-campus session beginning in the spring, an on-campus session in late June through mid-July, and a post-campus session lasting into the winter. The pre-campus assignments require students to prepare for the on-campus session by reading books and articles, collecting information, and writing reflectively. By the time everyone arrives for the three week on-campus session, meaningful discourse about the nature of education is possible because of pre-campus course work. Community develops as students grapple to work out their faith and calling as teachers and administrators in a Christian, public, or private school setting. Students share their lives, their thoughts, and their plans resulting in an international support network with fellow classmates. Finally, during the post-campus work, students take what they have learned back to their local schools for a final project or paper creating a wonderful combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application.

Documenting and Diagnosing Deficiencies in Basic Math Skills: Two Years of Data
Simcha Pollack, Department of Computer Information Systems/Decision Sciences, The Peter J. Tobin College of Business
Abstract This research has four main goals. First, to document the extent of deficiency in St. John's students' basic math skills. Second, to devise a method of diagnosing the specific skills that need improvement. Third, to ascertain whether these deficiencies are correlated with the grades in an introductory business statistics course. Fourth, to develop and test methods of remediation. This presentation focuses on the progress made to date toward the first three objectives.
Anecdotal experience and prior pilot data strongly suggest that a significant number of our students are deficient in some basic mathematical techniques. Perhaps it is due to the prevalence of the calculator, poor study habits or poor elementary school teaching but for whatever reasons a subset of students can not add and multiply fractions, convert a fraction to a decimal, a decimal to a percent or solve a simple word problem. This has serious adverse academic affects because so many classes are quantitative. This includes, of course, all the hard sciences and math but also psychology, management etc. Indeed, one can not function well in almost any endeavor in or out of school without basic math skills. No wonder so many students' eyes glaze over when an equation is presented to them. The lack of confidence when it comes to any quantitative material begins with a fear of even simple operations or concepts.
Methods In order to document the problem, to teach at the appropriate level and to help remediate my students' deficiencies, I have devised a simple twenty question, ten minute quiz of basic math operations. Results from this instrument are correlated with the quantitative outcomes in an introductory statistics class. Factor analysis of the results are used to discover groupings of questions which can be used to diagnose underlying problems. Analysis of variance models are used to compare results across business disciplines (i.e. Economics, Finance, Accounting, Management, Marketing). Mixed models analysis of variance is used to compare skills within students.
Results The mean score in the sample of 338 students was 84% (sd=15%). About a fifth made six or more mistakes. The correlation with grades was significant but moderate in magnitude (r=0.27, p=0.0001). The factor analysis reveals a pattern among the questions that highlights the major problems for a particular student. There is considerable heterogeneity in results. i.e. students who have deficiencies in one area may not have deficiencies across the board.
Conclusion The heterogeneity in deficiencies makes a program of remediation practicable. Only a minority of students require remediation and only a much smaller subset require remediation in several areas.

Wusikstation has been updated to v5.4. Both full and demo versions have been updated, included the WS GBox version. A new demo version with Groove Box integration and a full selection of sounds has been added to the site.
- New 16 Bit format, for both WusikSND and the option above. Disk-Streaming also works for 16 bit files. Files saved in 16 bit are not compatible with previous Wusikstation versions. To save in 16 bits, open the Sample-Editor and select the WusikSND Save option. There's a 32 and a 16 option. We will release the info on this format changes so sound-converter-developers can add this function to their software (aWave, Extreme Sample Converter and Translator).
- New WusikPACK file format. Now you can select one preset or a folder of presets and you will get a WusikPACK file of all related files: presets, sounds and effects. You can also manually add any other files from the DATA folder to a WusikPACK file. e.g. Skins, Library files, extra effect presets. This will replace all installers for new sounds, presets, effects and skins. Making it much easier to install new things into the WusikEngine based products. To add a WusikPACK file, just drag-and-drop the file into an empty area of the interface. Or into the file-browser directory or file listing. You can also open the file-browser and select options->UnPack.
- Drag-and-Drop ability for WAV and WusikSND files from ANY directory. Just drop it to an empty area of the GUI. If the file is from the DATA folder, it's going to be saved as relative-to-the-data-folder, otherwise, its going to save the full c:\... path information.
- New "fix broken sound-links" option in the File-Browser->Options menu. This will search all presets and fix the broken sounds-links.
- New "fix library broken preset-links" option in the File-Browser->Options menu. This will search all library files and fix the broken preset-links.
- 16 Bits Batch-Converter option added. You can chose a directory and convert all 32 bits files to 16 bits (with the option to replace or keep the original files, and also process all sub-folders).
- New Multi-Out file with 9 outputs: each layer outputs to an individual bus, plus 2 FX and 1 Main output (mix of all outputs). This requires the wIni file to be updated. If you want the old behaviour, just delete the "Multi Out Ext" line and the following "1" line (both lines).
- Fixed problem on loading non-looped WusikSND files.
- Fixed several buffer related problems.
- Fixed problem with library files. When the preset is not found, it searches for the file and re-saves the library file. Now it keeps the extra text-information in the new file.
- Improved Master Limiter (better sound).
- The Manual.pdf was also updated (wusik.com/download/Manual.pdf).

Families are always changing and change is exciting! What better way to record those changes and your family history than with family portraits.
True story, when I bought my first digital camera, I called a long time client of mine and offered a free session in order to 'try out' my new professional digital camera. They said, "Sure!" and we arranged for me to come to their home to do the session. Their son was a middle schooler and at the time, a couple of inches shorter than I am. I photographed them outside and inside their beautiful new home. Six (6) months later, I am working at our church's Vacation Bible School and I hear this deep male voice behind me, "Miz Missy, I heard you needed some help back here…". I turn around and see this huge young man staring down at me. And I did not recognize him. He had changed that much!
His mom told me that he started changing right after those portraits were taken, "….and Missy, before you called, I knew it was time to schedule family portraits again and had you not called, we would have missed that stage of his life…." I am glad that I called too!
And what better wall decor for your home than portraits of your family! Each session is customed designed. In some cases, multiple outfit changes. We want your session and the portraits to be unique to you and your family.
Sessions can be done at our studio, at your home, some of our clients have beautiful landscaped lawns they want to have portraits taken in. We are also part of Aldridge Photography Guild and have session privilages there.

Angiotensin II-induced hypertension increases heme oxygenase-1 expression in rat aorta.
BACKGROUND: We investigated the in vivo effects of angiotensin ( Ang) II- induced hypertension on heme oxygenase (HO) mRNA and protein expression, activity, and localization in rat aortas. METHODS AND RESULTS: Infusion of Ang II (0.7 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) increased HO-1 mRNA levels to 169+/-31%, 251+/-47%, 339+/-26%, and 370+/-74% of the control level at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days after operation, respectively. The HO-1 protein level at 7 days was markedly upregulated, as was HO activity. Treatment with either losartan (25 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) or hydralazine (15 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)), both of which prevented the Ang II-induced hypertension, blocked HO-1 mRNA upregulation. Norepinephrine infusion (2.8 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) produced a degree of hypertension and degree of HO-1 mRNA upregulation similar to those of Ang II infusion, which was again blocked by treatment with hydralazine (382+/-18% and 150+/-30% of the control level, respectively). Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that HO-1 is expressed in medial smooth muscle and adventitial cells in normotensive rat aortas, and this is markedly increased in adventitial and endothelial cells in Ang II-induced hypertensive rat aortas. In contrast, HO-2 protein expression was not changed in hypertensive rat aortas. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that HO-1 is upregulated in hypertensive rat aortas, apparently by mechanisms unique to Ang II and by hemodynamic stress.[1]References

By SUSAN BERRESFORD
STRATEGIC PHILANTHROPY is a sound and valuable approach to giving, but many nonprofit leaders raise questions about the idea in private.
Because so many seem reluctant to voice their concerns about strategic philanthropy, it's time to consider the kinds of worries one hears regularly from grantees and even from a few donors. Here are some I have collected:
Grantee: "The work I am doing is at a very early stage of innovation. Of course, I will go through the motion of repeatedly redrafting my proposal to fit various donors' strategic-planning requirements. But honestly, the text is pure speculation, and the multiple revisions are a waste of time for both of us. The whole process makes me reluctant to try what is not spelled out in the proposal for fear of igniting a new round of strategic planning. It all has a deadening effect on how we work."
Grantee: "The most useful money a foundation ever gave us came as general support over a three-year period. It enabled me to start some new lines of work that really put us on the map. When I got the grant, I had only the barest sense of these activities and would not have been confident about spelling them out for fear of not delivering. The foundation's patience and trust in us empowered the organization."
Grantee: "I am not against havinga theory of change; developing one onour own a few years back was very help-ful and sharpened our thinking. But Imust say, in 12 years of raising mon-ey, I have never once (well, maybe once)had a program officer call after receiv-ing a report of ours, dutifully submit-ted, and ask a question about what wewere learning or investigate furtherour practice. This even after multiplerounds of proposal review and refine-ment and strategic planning. I assumethey are just too busy."
It is possible that thequality of what passesfor "strategic planning"in too many placesis just plain subpar.
tions] have become more focused on developing portfolios of projects, managing risks, and producing outcomes rather than on listening to communities, healing deep inequalities, and supporting innovation. With their new strategies and new staff, foundations today are increasingly treating organizations like ours not as innovators but as contractors who are hired to deliver donors' visions."
Foundation program leader: "Iam trying to strengthen the field ofjournalism that is so important to thesuccess of our democracy. When I reportthat our grantees have fostered newkinds of coverage of crucial topics andreached wide audiences, my board says:"So what? What of significance has re-ally changed?" The board used to askus to have ambitious visions of change.Now their demand for strategies withnear-term results is steering us awayfrom more ambitious aims."These are just a few comments I havecollected over the last year or so. Al-most all are spoken with strong feel-ing, laced with a fear that "the donor"or trustee will hear what they say andbe displeased.
"Don't be evil."It may sound like the code ofconduct for the fledgling witch-es and wizards arriving at Hog-warts. But it is actually the un-official code of a different clanof young magicians—the staffof Google.
The phrase "Don't be evil" is even enshrined in the founders' letter to Google's initial public offering to encapsulate a cornerstone of its philosophy to provide people with unbiased access to information.
The best way to provide such access over the Internet can be summarized in two words—net neutrality.
The idea is that anybody who uses the Internet will have equal access to every piece of information available, without special treatment or discrimination on the part of Internet service providers, be they cable companies, phone companies, or public utilities. And it is a principle that is critical to the success of nonprofits in the marketplace of ideas.
Net neutrality has been the default law of the land since the Internet's
founding more than 40 years ago. It ensures that all kinds of information and all people are treated equally, without special pleading or payments. Advocates of net neutrality point out that the free and open nature of the Internet has been a font of innovation and the forge from which our most dynamic new companies—companies like Google—have been created.
But in recent years, a battle has been raging between consumer groups and telecommunications companies over the fate of the Internet—whether it will remain neutral in the way content is delivered or whether phone and cable companies will be able to offer special deals featuring their own content. And by comparison, will these same companies be able to degrade the experience of content that flows outside of the entertainment channels they control.
From the start, Google has beenone of the most forceful advocates foran open Internet. So it was with greatshock and disappointment—and per-haps even a sense of betrayal among al-lies and media policy activists—whenGoogle announced in August a jointproposal with the phone giant Verizonover new ways to manage network traf-fic, one that in particular exempts therapidly expanding mobile Internet fromregulations governing network neutral-ity.
Before the Internet, a nonprofit organization that wanted to make its case would have had to attract the interest of somebody in the news or entertainment media. It could attempt to generate a news story that might be covered by a newspaper or broadcaster. It could cut a public-service announcement that might, with some luck, appear for 30 or 60 seconds, frequently at 2 a.m. in front of an audience of slumbering "viewers" who forgot to turn off their television sets. In short, nonprofits were largely invisible.
The advent of the Internet has resulted in an explosion of meaningful communications between nonprofit organizations and their supporters. Charities and foundations are now able to tell their stories without permission, without interpretation—and without the snoring.
The capacity of nonprofits to communicate directly with their supporters and constituents has expanded their ability to generate financial support and deliver programs that make a difference. And that capacity should not

Pending bids, Med Care to break ground in fall
MEXICO- If all goes well with a request for contractor bids, Med Care Ambulance could be breaking ground on their new building site by fall. According to board president, Steve Brown, financing is secured, a purchase and sale agreement has been signed before the town's planning board and abutting landowner concerns are being addressed.
Earlier this summer, board members of Oxford Federal Credit Union unanimously agreed to reach out to the ambulance company and offer them the parcel of land behind VIP that enters from Highland Terrace. The $1.8 million project will sit on approximately two acres of land with a 40-foot buffer between lots.
This project has been in the making for the past several years, but only in the last two has it gained momentum.
"This has all been a wonderfully cooperative public service gesture that the credit union has come forward with," noted Brown. "Their board saw our need for being able to stay centrally located within the 11 towns we serve and to also be close to the bridge connecting Rumford and Mexico. It really is the ideal location for us to be in."
Med-Care representatives met with concerned abutters last week to hear their concerns. Brown wanted to address those concerns of landowners living near the proposed site, stating, "We understand homeowners want to continue to live in a peaceful neighborhood. I am hopeful that we are helping ease their concerns. Many of our calls are non-emergency, so sirens will be kept at a minimum. We do need to run them when we are entering traffic, but, otherwise, residents won't hear them every time we leave the station."
Pending the return of requested contractor bids that were sent out last week, as long as they fall within the proposed budget, board members will be making a decision in the next several weeks as to who will get the contract.
The new facility will have four garage bays, adequate sleeping/living quarters for full- and part-time employees, storage space and enlarged office space. The current facility is in violation of fire code and would take approximately $250,000 to be brought up to code, not to mention that it's too small to house the large fleet of service vehicles and technicians.

No. 85 – Campus School
Whether they called it a practice school, training school or campus school, generations of Oswego education majors observed master teachers and practiced their own teaching skills in Sheldon Hall, and later Swetman Hall.
Sayer Funds Education Scholarship
Former Campus School teacher Ruth Sayer and her late husband, Frank, an Oswego businessman, wanted to do something to give back to the institution that enriched their lives and that of their community.
"Frank and I both felt all along that we are fortunate to have the college as an important part of Oswego," Ruth said. That appreciation, along with their satisfaction with President Deborah F. Stanley's leadership, led Ruth to endow the Frank and Ruth Sayer Education Scholarship.

Tires Slashed
Someone slashed the tires of a car parked in the 3200 block of Foxwood Drive sometime between 12:30 a.m. and 7 a.m.
Trespasser Runs from Officer
Kirk Pokrefky, 53, of Hunting Woods, MI, was charged with criminal trespass to property and resisting/obstructing a peace officer.
A Woodridge police officer was on patrol at 4:58 a.m. in the 7200 block of Woodward and saw Pokrefky on foot. The officer had knowledge that Pokrefky had previously been served a trespass notice from that same property, police said.
When the officer confronted Pokrefky, police said he took off on foot and was later caught and arrested.

17-year-old Savannah Dietrich
Credits: Twitter
A Kentucky teenager who tweeted the names of two boys who sexually assaulted her won't face a contempt of court charge.
Savannah Dietrich, 17, exposed her attackers, two boys also aged 17, after they received what she felt was an overly lenient deal in exchange for pleading guilty to assaulting her at a party while she was passed out and later circulating photos online.
The boys' lawyers filed a motion to have her charged with contempt for violating the confidentiality of juvenile court proceedings and the order not to talk about the case. If convicted, Dietrich would have faced a possible fine of $500 and up to 180 days in jail.
"There you go, lock me up," Dietrich tweeted in June about the contempt citation, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal. "I'm not protecting anyone that made my life a living Hell."
More than 100,000 people signed a Change.org petition asking the judge to drop the charge against Dietrich, prompting the boys' lawyers to withdraw their motion Monday. Attorney David Mejia told the Courier-Journal there was no longer any point after Dietrich's story - and the boys' names - spread around the world last weekend.

Bones Synopsis for Season 7, Episode 12, "The Suit on the Set": Brennan Goes to Hollywood
By now you've already seen our analysis of what's happening in next week's all-new Bones Season 7, Episode 11, "The Family in the Feud," but how about the week after that? Season 7, Episode 12: "The Suit on the Set" has us super-jazzed because it's the Hollywood Episode that's had us licking our chops for months. Well, come and get it, folks – dinner will be served on Monday, May 7!
According to TV Line, we can expect all sorts of Bones deliciousness:
Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) head out to Los Angeles to oversee the production of "Bone of Contention," a film based on Brennan's latest book and the work of the Jeffersonian team. While on set, Brennan intervenes after finding flaws with the actors' performances, not to mention the film's total disregard for science. Then she discovers that the prop cadaver being used is an actual murder victim, forcing her and Booth to launch an investigation that has real-world consequences in the land of make-believe. Meanwhile, Booth is offered a job on the studio lot, and embarrassing information is revealed about Cam's (Tamara Taylor) past.
While we totally believe that Brennan would take charge of enforcing accuracy on the set, we're a little surprised that Cam's got some skeletons in the closet. Maybe Cam has a secret past in cheesy horror flicks? Hey, a girl's gotta pay for med school somehow.
