Posted 4:06 PM 2/28/2013 : Plays, music and wild animals in today's Arts & Culture segment
TUCSON - A couple of plays, the orchestra and a not-to-be-missed photography exhibit of animals in the wild.
It's all in today's Arts & Culture segment with Herb Stratford.
Two plays about what it means to be human are on stage at the Rogue Theatre through March 17.
Franz Kafka'a 'Monkey' and the famous play 'Metamorphosis', share the stage at Rogue and encourage viewers to consider exactly what it means to be a human being. The pairing of the two plays will also include pre-show music and a post-performance talk with the theatre company. Rogue Theatre is located in the Historic 'Y' on East University near 4th Avenue.
UApresents is hosting the acclaimed Saint Martin in the Fields Chamber Orchestra on March 3 at Centennial Hall. The group, one of the most traveled and respected in the world, will perform a program with cello and piano works by Bach, Hayden and Britten.
A new exhibition of photographs examines what happens in the desert once the sun goes down. Images by photographer Kate Breakey entitled 'Surveillance' capture desert denizens in a way we rarely see. The show is on display at the Temple Gallery, located in the Temple of Music and Art on South Scott Avenue downtown and is up through April 2.

Though most pitchers clear their mounds at the slight rumor of a thunderstorm, the ones inside Kansas City Sports Club always stay dry and padded with footprints. In addition to pitching tunnels, hitting tunnels, and a turf infield that stays safe from outdoor weather conditions, the facility features a full fitness center that protects guests from the hazards of working out on treadmills in the wilderness. The fitness center features free weights and cardio machines with flat-screen televisions and free WiFi to keep guests informed and entertained during workouts.
Physical training requires drive and discipline. At Whole Armor, trainers say they draw their strength from their Christian backgrounds. They apply those principles in fitness classes and at sports camps. They work with patrons on a variety of goals, from losing weight to building strength, and the team also has experience working with youngsters on early wellness.
Sprawled across Black Bob Park's 80 acres, Blackbob Batting Cages and Miniature Golf enlivens friendly competition with classic outdoor pastimes. In the batting cages, sluggers-in-training swing at pitches thrown at 35–70 miles per hour, while pintsize to professional putters head to the 18-hole mini-golf course to take on its Lilliputian fairways and holes that act as portals to hobbit kingdoms. Black Bob Park also sports a playground, picnic areas, a public swimming pool, and a lighted basketball court.
Located inside Harrisonville City Park, High Performance Paintball has spent the past decade filling their 10 acres of civic space with colorful paint splatters. Combat rages across their three fields, which include a speedball field furnished with inflated barriers where skilled players can hide during fast-paced melees. While one wooded field has enough open space for more than 20 players, the second favors deliberate stalking with dense trees, a burbling creek, and a 3,000 square-foot fort with multiple rooms.
Boasting a combined resumé of 75 years of experience and more than 16,000 jumps, the members of Falcon Skydiving Team show off their aerial skills at exhibitions all over the states. They kicked off the US promotion of the latest Pokémon products with a whirling dive and perform as a highlight of the Richards-Gebaur air show. When not free-falling for audiences, they take up passengers with them and teach them the basics during low-altitude tandem dives.
Associate conductor Steven Jarvi channels the combined melodious might of the Kansas City Symphony and Symphony Chorus, KC Brass, Allegro Children's Choir, and Rezound Handbell Ensemble through an all-new holiday celebration of sound. Mobs of merry musicians, rumored to include 12 drummers drumming and a possible 11 pipers piping, will feed hungry ossicles symphonic arrangements of Christmas traditions. Families coasting on waves of Yuletide joy will yearn to sing along with timeless carols perfected by years of door-to-door focus testing. To complete each holly-jolly evening, Santa Claus himself will make an appearance to play a 30-minute free jazz solo on his signature fur-fringed soprano saxophone.
Harvesting five indoor and six outdoor courts, Jayhawk treats competitors to a sprawling battleground for spirited orb-bashing bouts. Every membership to the facility comes loaded with special features, including a free instructional session with a net-conquering connoisseur for each new member, as well as access to multiple state-of-the-art ball machines that have recently supplanted outdated Civil War cannons. Members also have top priority in reserving courts and spots during special clinics and programs, as well as reduced rates for private or semiprivate lessons.

I was trying to figure out where a file is located. (The path) It looks like UltraEdit doesnt follow the Mac standards of being able to right click on the filename on top and opening up the folder that contains the file. Please add this ability, so I know which file I have open. (I deal with a lot of text files that have the same name but are in different folders.)
Right click on the header in most applications and you'll notice you can get to the folder real easily. (Try Preview.)
Also, hovering over the filename in the File View should appear the file path. Right-clicking on the file in File View should also have an option to open the containing folder.

Reasons not to hire Petrino, Mr. Pennington you said it best:
* Tommy Tuberville hired him at Auburn and then Petrino wound up trying to snake Tuberville's job.
* Louisville AD Tom Jurich defended Petrino when "Jetgate" made national news and Petrino repaid him by jumping to the Atlanta Falcons.
* Arthur Blank was flabbergasted to learn that Petrino had accepted the Arkansas job and would leave his team with three games left to play in its season. (Leaving goodbye notes for his Falcons players was akin to shouting "So long, suckers" as he grabbed the last parachute and beat everyone else to the door of a crashing plane.)
* Then came Long whose still in "coaching search" mode eight months after Petrino blew up Arkansas' season.
Everyone who has hired him has suffered for it, but now you feel it won't happen again. He is a four time loser, and I don't want Tennessee to be his next victim.
@JHP2354 To underscore Arthur Blank's flabberghastedness (great word), Petrino met with him face to face and committed to being the Falcons coach for the next season which prompted Blank to go on television and make a public announcement as such. Within a day, Petrino was in Arkansas making his soo-eee noises at his introductory news conference. How could anyone ever trust this guy in a position of authority and responsibility again? It would take a huge leap of faith and the willingness to put their own career on the line by an AD.

The Next West Nile Virus?
The chikungunya virus has escaped Africa and is traveling around the world via a widespread, invasive, voracious mosquito
- By Carrie Arnold
- Smithsonian.com, June 29, 2011, Subscribe
In Kenya in 2004, spring became the rainy season that wasn't. March turned into April, and then May, and still the rains didn't come. The once lush countryside began to parch and drinking water slowly evaporated. Women used to fetch small buckets of water from nearby streams and ponds, but the drought forced them to travel farther. To save themselves from trudging for hours each day in the blazing equatorial heat, women began to gather several days' worth of water in multi-gallon containers, which they stored outside their homes. What the women didn't know was that these vessels would spark a worldwide outbreak of a viral disease unfamiliar to most Westerners—for now.
In the Makonde language of eastern Africa, "chikungunya" means "that which bends over." The chikungunya virus causes joint pain so excruciating victims can't stand or even sit upright for weeks or months at a time. It has existed in southeastern Africa for centuries, passed from person to person by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The mosquito has adapted to living alongside humans, happily breeding in human houses and water containers. The drought increased the number of drinking water containers, the population of Aedes aegypti and the incidence of chikungunya cases. After infecting most of the susceptible people in the drought-afflicted area, the outbreak flickered out.
Chikungunya has usually been confined to Africa, but in early 2005, embers of the Kenyan outbreak spread to the Seychelles and Comoros islands in the eastern Indian Ocean. By June of that year, cases of chikungunya had been reported on the island of Réunion, a French protectorate 550 miles east of Madagascar and a popular European tourist destination.
A few cases of chikungunya didn't overly worry public health officials on Réunion. The spraying of DDT decades earlier had all but eliminated Aedes aegypti on the island. The Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), a close relative of Aedes aegypti, lived on Réunion and could potentially carry chikungunya, but it didn't transmit the virus well enough to cause a major outbreak. During the second half of 2005, reports of chikungunya continued to trickle in. Then, in the beginning of 2006, case reports spiked. Public health officials noted 13,000 cases in the first week of March alone. By the end of the year, around 266,000 people on Réunion had been infected with chikungunya, more than one-third of the island's residents. Epidemiologists were at a loss to explain the epidemic.
A group of French scientists sequenced the genetic material of the chikungunya virus from Réunion and compared it with chikungunya viruses from Africa. The researchers found that a single mutation had occurred on Réunion, a mutation that slightly changed the shape of one of the proteins that studded chikungunya's surface. Previous studies showed that this protein helped similar viruses enter host cells and cause infections, which led the scientists to hypothesize that this small shape change was enough to let the virus infect the Asian tiger mosquito and use it as a ready vector.
A follow-up study showed that the mutation on Réunion let chikungunya infect the Asian tiger mosquito extremely efficiently—100 times more efficiently than the non-mutated strain infected Aedes aegypti. Chikungunya enters a mosquito's body when it bites someone with large amounts of virus in the bloodstream. The blood enters the mosquito's gut, where the virus pries open the gut cells and makes copies of itself. The shape of proteins on the outside of the virus determines whether it can get inside. For the older strains of chikungunya, trying to enter the gut cells of the Asian tiger mosquito was like trying to shove a square peg in a round hole. The mutation from Réunion changed the virus from a square peg to a round one.
After the virus multiplies in the mosquito's gut cells, it travels to the salivary glands. When the mosquito bites its next victim, it squirts saliva into the bite to prevent clotting, saliva laden with the chikungunya virus. After three to seven days, the next human victim would have large amounts of virus in his or her own blood, causing fever and the agonizing joint pain for which the disease is so famous. The victim could then pass the virus to the next biting mosquito. The best way to prevent chikungunya infection, says Erin Staples, a medical epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Fort Collins, Colorado, "would be to avoid contact with mosquitoes." But that's easier said than done.
Over the past 30 years, the Asian tiger mosquito, a native of Southeast Asia and India, has spread to every continent. It travels in used tires, which are usually stored outdoors before being shipped around the world. The tires collect rainwater, the perfect location for a female mosquito to lay her eggs. Even if rainwater evaporates during the voyage, that's no problem for the desiccation-resistant eggs of Asian tiger mosquitoes.
"When the tires get dumped in their new location and it rains on them, it's like growing sea monkeys," says Dina Fonseca, an entomologist at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
The Asian tiger mosquito first arrived in the United States by way of a used tire shipment to Houston in 1985. From there, it spread across the country by way of shipping routes and interstates. Although Aedes aegypti also lives in the United States, it can't survive cold northern winters, and its presence is limited to the Southeast. The Asian tiger mosquito, however, has adapted to cooler temperatures and can live as far north as Wisconsin and New Hampshire. A widespread population of Asian tiger mosquitoes combined with globe-trotting humans means that chikungunya can arrive in the United States at any time.

Mosquitos can be a serious pest control problem, and can be dealt with accordingly. Instead of pesticide use, there are also many DIY organic methods that are also effective.

This is truly alarming and new news to myself. This seems like it can be frightening. Do we any photos of what these misquotes may look like and the effects it has on humans. Such as The location of bite mark's and a description of the bite marks?.
Posted by Rich on July 9,2011 | 05:21 AM
What is needed are cheap but sealable water containers. That and people closing the lids to reduce mosquito entry. What happens when they get in and lay desiccation resistant-eggs? I can't say from here. Built-in screened tops that allow water in and out but keep mosquitoes always out even if the top comes loose? What other ideas can we come up with?
Posted by Rich Patrock on June 30,2011 | 12:59 PM
Thanks a lot for the alarm. But How to detect and identify these or can you tell me the detail symptom?

A formal tutorial on programming Object-First Javascript
Author: mprokesSo it is 2010… … I know it has been a while since posting, but back when I had done the first post on object-first javascript in 2009 I thought that it could possibly change the way javascript would be coded. Since then I have discovered a few things about it. I can also say that I still prefer this way of structuring javascript code more then any other, yet I feel like I have not shared this discovery very well with the world. So in the interests of delivering a clear message about what this could mean for programmers I will be creating a full tutorial on the subject at ofjs.org.

Now you can make dead straight, silky smooth, splinter free cuts in hardwood veneered plywood with a portable circular saw. The secret of course, is the use of a Festool TS 55 or TS 75 circular saw and a Festool Precision Guide Rail.
Festool's unique guide rail system is designed for use with Festool products, so adapters are unnecessary. Two soft, grippy, cushion strips underneath the rail are strategically located to prevent slippage and splintering. Upon first use, a hard rubber edge strip is trimmed back by the tool so that it precisely indicates the cut line for future work without calculations for base plate offset. Special "C" clamps fit into a slot under the guide rail for obstruction free work when absolute positioning accuracy is required. Made in Germany. Note: DO NOT order this item to connect to 55" guide rail for cutting 8 ft. sheet goods! The resulting 97" is longer than the 8 ft. sheet, but you need overhang for the saw to begin the cut. Order an additional 55" rail. (#491498)

The brothers weren't allowed to compete against each other as youths and showed early promise at Stanford in winning an NCAA doubles title. Last year marked the second straight in which the Bryans claimed two Grand Slam titles as they won the Australian Open for the fifth time and captured Wimbledon for the second time. The Bryans have enjoyed tremendous Davis Cup success, posting a 19-2 record including a 10-0 mark in away matches. Winning Olympic gold, however, is one accomplishment that has eluded them. They lost in the third round at the 2004 Athens Games to Chilean duo Nicolas Massu and Fernando Gonzalez, and captured a bronze at the Beijing Games after losing to eventual gold medalists Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland in the semifinals. One of the world's most popular doubles teams, the Bryans are known for their aggressive play and entertaining chest bumps during matches. Off the court, their musical career as part of the 'Bryan Bros. Band' has seen them perform at least 70 times in venues such as Hollywood's swanky Viper Room.

"Following years of supplying and validating memory for AMD Radeon™ graphics cards, adding system memory to our product line was a clear opportunity for us, providing our partners and end-users with the performance and reliability AMD is renowned for," said Matt Skynner, corporate vice president and general manager, AMD GPU Division.
I have used 1x4gb stick of this ram in a build for a friend and it worked the same as my G2 Patriot ram. They just put a sticker on it and called it amd.
i think this is a good option its nice to have a matching set so 990fx board with radeon card and matching ram is a nice touch, shame they dont do amd water cooler like the intel one.
Actually, they do (in a few select test regions): AMD FX-8150 Black Edition CPU Water Cooler Review It's an Asetek with an AMD sticker/badge slapped on the waterblock.
yea the intel one has the word intel in blue glowing on the water block stickers just dont look as nice, what would be nice is the amd logo glowing in red on the block.
intel processor + amd memory + nvidia card... tutti frutti or maybe an intel processor + amd memory + amd card... AMD could earn lot of money by selling intel system like these. But What if AMD starts making chipsets for intel processors? AMD could also make PSUs but its a market overloaded with more than 15 brands to choose from. Not sure sound cards and nics.

Sat 8/14 @ Golden Gate Park

I've also had good luck thus so far just taking the N Judah. Instead of waiting around 30th and Judah, take a 15 minute walk down to the one of the stops closer to the ocean. Less people are waiting there. You usually get on and get a seat when the first train arrives. It gets crowded, but crowd thins out halfway to Embarcadero.
Nicky P
Next time take the 38 Geary. You can get off at Embarcadero station and catch it on Fremont @ Market or get off at the Montgomery station and catch it on Market @ Montgomery. If you're really worried about getting a seat just walk to Howard & Beale where the line starts (two blocks away from Embaracdero station). It runs all the way down Geary and should make better time than the 5 or the N. Get off at 36th Ave. and Geary and then walk 5 blocks south to the park.
I recommend catching the 38 back downtown from 36th Ave. as well. By the time it gets to the 20's the bus will likely get completely packed. This actually can speed up the travel time as the bus will just barrel down Geary until someone needs to get off. And again, just like walking to Market and Beale, if there is a mass exodus heading to 36th Ave. and Geary, just walk over to 39th Ave. and Geary to catch it there.
This has worked for me for the past three festivals.

I couldn't have been more disappointed with the transportation service at this event. Not only was the recommended bus from BART not in service on Saturday morning (it did start up later though) but leaving the show was abysmally in disarray. 9 hours of travel time from Oakland to San Francisco... blah. Didn't even go Sunday as it just wasn't worth the hassle.

I have an extra ticket if anyone's interested. Just email me at beersy at gmail.
i've heard the same thing re: long show, but i've heard they're running almost 3 hours in total length. which would explain the 7:30 start to get under the greek/UC curfew cutoff.

Administrator Pat Escamilla | 2012 Clark County Information Sharing Guide Download It Now!! |
Our Philosphy | ||
A message from our Juvenile Court Administrator
I am pleased to welcome you to the Clark County Juvenile Court website. This website, our first ever attempt to provide a holistic "picture" of the work of the Juvenile Court, sets forth our mission, guiding principles and vision for how we strive to work today and into the future. It articulates the vision and foundation, Balanced and Restorative Justice, for our ongoing efforts to improve the performance of our programs, and share in creating the safe and healthy homes and neighborhoods that we all desire as members of the Clark County community.
Dedication of the Robert L. Harris Juvenile Justice Center |
CCJJC prides itself on our family-friendly atmosphere. Take a 360 degree tour of our lobby on the TourWrist website. We welcome all to come feel how we do things a little differently. |
Clark County Juvenile Court has a rich and storied place in our community. The county established its first Juvenile Court in the early 1900s. The Juvenile Court is a division of the Clark County Superior Court and operates under the administrative authority of the Clark County Superior Court Judges. Excepting as otherwise provided within statute, the Juvenile Court has exclusive jurisdiction over juveniles who violate criminal laws and who are in need of protection and/or advocacy as a result of abuse, neglect, or abandonment.
Our mandate concerning juvenile offenders is multifaceted. Our most important charge is to protect the community by holding juvenile offenders accountable to the community and their victims, and to assist the community in providing youths and families with resources for positive change and maturation in becoming productive members of society. The scope of our responsibilities spans the distance from courtrooms to living rooms, ranges from police work to social work, and extends to children and families regardless of economic, social, or cultural differences.
We are charged with providing for both the immediate and long-term safety of our community. In meeting these challenges we are sometimes caught in the debate between proponents of retributive, punitive philosophy and advocates of traditional individual treatment methods. Neither approach completely satisfies the basic needs of crime victims, the community, and juvenile offenders.
Clark County Juvenile Court has committed itself to a holistic Balanced and Restorative Justice approach in fulfilling its statutory duties and mandates. It seeks to create a justice system wherein the focus is not simply on short-term external control of offenders, but wherein immediate and long-term needs of victims, community, and offenders are weighed in the balance, and all gain tangible benefits from their interactions with the juvenile justice system. This holistic commitment to Balanced and Restorative Justice places us in a position of leadership, not only in our community but also in the state and the nation, in bringing forward new perspective and understanding about how juvenile justice systems serve the community.
Pat Escamilla, Juvenile Court Administrator

President Obama mandated surprise announcement on Friday -- what it is saying.
He has said that he was going to.
Use what's called deferred authorities he's gonna.
Use the power of the executive branch to stop deporting.
Young undocumented immigrants under the age thirty big big announcement great day for America.
So I saw you think -- -- and I do yes and I of those who opposed.
What's our -- what are what is their position will.
You know.
Look I get it.
This is a tough economic time in America no question about it and you know we tend to have it's funny we tend to have this kind of zero sum.
Formula when it comes opportunity we don't have a that the top right and a lot of folks are opposing -- immigration reforms.
I'm always struck by the irony that they don't seem to think -- -- they oppose raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires are paying less than the rest of us.
Because a civil look it's not you know -- -- some -- and we can all be rich and why punish them or whatever sort of language they used.
But when it comes to opportunity at the bottom of the latter we somehow think they would immigrants.
-- folks who have been here for generations.
Our quote -- quote stealing jobs from Americans the fact of the matter is.
You know they they've been learned here by big businesses who want low wage workers -- they can increase their bottom line.
That's the problem.
That there is a broken immigration system and our country it's been broken for a long time and it's time we start fixing it and -- part time Republicans were on the right side of that issue.
The the president -- of -- announced the congress and another democratic congress for a Democrat.
Or democratic and audio democratic -- -- first yours don't try to pass a host a wide event you've waited.

You know there's no good and now unless interest in debating a process issues to be -- -- part of what I find interesting.
You know coming from a -- and activism has.
You know pressure on the White House certainly built in the last year and a.
I mean you know.
Immigration activists -- themselves the White House fence protesting at Obama campaign headquarters around the country so that political pressure was mounting.
And also the president had tried to do things to sort of alleviate.
The pressure the deportation pressures on immigrant students and then White House simply found that they weren't working -- needed to do something more.
Proactive but.
Again you know Republicans were also moving in their direction under Marco Rubio doing the same thing so.
You know look it's it's election I get -- it's gonna become a political football.
-- at a certain point we -- -- suspect back as Americans and say this is the right thing to do this the right thing to do for these kids.
Who've been here who want to stay here who want to contribute to our economy and contribute to -- America.
Is the right thing to do for our country.
Roger -- son or her real all the Republicans.
Do -- of -- But till they also but should have been.
On -- -- congress but maybe that's just.
They'll let you know wired in on another site present of this -- one has a good -- amateur text.
On the focus off this hideous economy that is so.
And George.
I mean you know so -- the -- -- -- man like the president can't win now come on I mean it's -- gas.
You know what that that this sort of everything's become so partisan so.
Hyper polarized in the political environment that we can't just say well I like that -- like I did I mean I'm -- -- target that's fine again it's contentious issue.
But you know I even mean when he proposes to you know cut taxes on small businesses the Republicans go after on him on that.
At a certain point we should be able today kind of grow up as a country and look objectively.
At these policies and say you know what.
You know these are for these -- kids they were brought here when they earned 34810.
Years old.
All -- ever known as America all we wanna do is contribute to their country -- the president just made it more possible for them to do so thank.
Are cordial and I don't -- drone -- and arms programme.
What are you gonna do one known -- is elected president Joseph.
There were -- the contrary there I'm sorry did I miss a memo it's a Fay isn't run DO well no but those solar production reformed.

But what's more troubling I think is the sort of strangle hold.
That extremists now have on the Republican Party it's it's counterproductive to government.

In 2012, Newton proved me wrong
Last September, upon receiving a job offer here at the Newton Daily News, the first thing I did was type "Newton, IA" into my Google search bar.
Maybe I'm a true product of my generation, but I Google everything. It only made sense to utilize the website to learn as much as I could about this town along I-80 that I always passed on my drive to Ames, but had never actually visited.
After scrolling past Newton's official web site and various Wikipedia pages, two listings in particular caught my eye — a pair of articles from the New York Times, one from 2006 and one from 2007.

In fall 2013, the Eastern South Dakota Conference football teams will move to an eight-game season schedule.
The ESD squads will still play two non-conference opponents and six conference matchups. The ESD will grow to nine teams next fall with the addition of Harrisburg. Teams will not play every ESD opponent in the season as in the past.
"We can't provide enough games for all the Class 11AAA and 11AA teams if we stay where we are (playing every ESD team)," said Aberdeen Central athletic director Gene Brownell. "Teams will have a bye week. Ours will be Oct. 4. We'll play Washington and Roosevelt for the next two years in non-conference games."
How will the conference champion be decided?
"We'll determine the ESD conference champion the same way we always have. It's based on wins and losses. We've had dual champions and tri-champions in the past," said Brownell.
The Golden Eagles will play Brookings, Watertown, Yankton, Brandon Valley, Huron and Pierre in ESD action for the next two seasons, but not Mitchell and Harrisburg.
The ESD football teams will have a bye week built in the schedule. Aberdeen Central will play Sioux Falls Roosevelt on Sept. 27, 2013, and not play again until Oct. 11 against Brandon Valley.
Sports writer Deb Smith
New football class shifts
It's not as measurable as an earthquake, but there have been slight tremors in the creation of the new Class 11AAA in football that is set to debut in fall 2013.
The top eight schools in average daily enrollment originally made up 11AAA and the next eight were designated 11AA. Just on numbers alone, the top class would be made up of three Sioux Falls schools (Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt) and the two from Rapid City along with Aberdeen Central, Watertown and Brandon Valley.
"What matters to me is that we have a level playing field for ESD schools with declining populations," said Aberdeen Central athletic director Gene Brownell. "There's no way that on a year-by-year basis that the smaller schools will be able to compete with a Sioux Falls school that is an all-star team of players."
The first move came on Nov. 20 when Sioux Falls O'Gorman, with the backing of its coaches and administrators, petitioned the South Dakota High School Activities Association to move to the upper division. The Knights have advanced to the football championship game 14 times in 32 seasons and won eight titles. In fall 2012, O'Gorman advanced to the semifinal round before losing to eventual state champion Sioux Falls Washington.
"We had a AAA schedule," said O'Gorman football coach and athletic director Steve Kueter. "It only made sense to go into the playoffs in AAA."
That move now allows for one of the AAA teams to drop down to AA to even the two classes at eight teams each. The number-eight team in AAA, Brandon Valley, has the first shot at moving down.
Brandon Valley lost in the championship game to Washington. The Brandon Valley school board discussed the situation at its last meeting, but will not make a decision until December.
If Brandon Valley votes to stay in AAA, the number-seven school, Watertown, would next be given an opportunity to drop down to AA. Watertown is coached by former Aberdeen Central coach Steve Svendsen.
"What I like about the smaller team division is it will help those schools build their football programs," said Brownell. "For us (Central), nothing has really changed in the playoffs. We still have to go through Sioux Falls or Brandon Valley to get to the Dome."

Talks for 2013-14
Block 4 -- December 5, 12:00 p.m., Tutt Science Lecture Hall, Jonathan Caine, USGS Denver, "Couplings Among Stress, Strain, Heat and Fluid Flow in the eastern Colorado Mineral Belt"
Precambrian Basement 2012 Goes Green!!!
New Update since publication from Dr. Jack Coash '47
"Retired for past 25 years. Before that Professor of Geology at Bowling Green State University, Dept Chair for 13 years. Then Science Dean for 19 years at Cal State University, Bakersfield. 2 years at NSF & a stint with AID/NSF in India. Believe it or not, two field trips during the past six months. Last fall, the family gathered at Yosemite to celebrate my 90th birthday. Field trip - 2 brief walks to see the falls and Half Dome. And about a month ago, a brief trip to the Grand Canyon - son & his wife, daughter & two grandsons, and the wife and great-granddaughter & sister-in-law and her husband (3 of whom had never been there). Got to give a running commentary - two even hiked into the canyon. Not very impressive of your publication's articles, but still trying! Have to add, how much I appreciate hearing about all the women geologists, something I tried to promote. JC"
The Geology Department at Colorado College offers introductory and advanced courses in earth sciences that may lead to a B.A. in geology.
Department Philosophy
The courses in the major are designed to provide a foundation for a professional career in the earth sciences, provide the background for graduate school, which has increasingly become a necessary prerequisite to a professional career, provide an opportunity for students majoring in other fields to combine their expertise with geology, and educate students about the physical environment and our place in it, as part of a liberal arts education.
An excerpt from the nomination statement of Marcia K. McNutt ('74 graduate, Physics), presented to U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, 10/8/09, during the process of her selection as Director of the U.S. Geological Survey.
"My favorite college course was Introduction to Geology, taught by Professor John Lewis. Colorado College uses the Block Plan, in which students take only one course at a time for a month. Introduction to Geology is two blocks long. So my first two months at college were spent with Doc Lewis and about 19 other students scrambling around the Front Range with our backpacks and sleeping bags trying to piece together the geologic history of the Southern Rockies from first principles. We never cracked a book the entire time. I was drawn to the grandeur of the Earth sciences and awed by the time and space scales upon which Earth processes played out. No lab coat. No test tube. Science outside!"
The Block Plan
The Colorado College Block Plan allows us to offer a unique program in geology. Because students take just one course at a time, with class size limited to 25 students, the program is intensive and individualized.
The flexibility of the Block Plan also allows faculty and students to pursue independent study and research projects, during the academic year as well as during summer and winter breaks. Much of this work takes place away from the campus. Many of our students do field-oriented research as part of a required senior seminar project or as part of a distinction thesis.
Students with strong interests in both geology and environmental issues may major in Geology and take elective courses in other environmental sciences and environmental issues. Alternatively, such students may major in Environmental Science complimented with coursework in Geology.

Pamela McLean (Co-founder and Director of Dadamac)
(Written by Pamela McLean)
I'm the person behind Dadamac in the UK and online. I describe Dadamac as my work - but that doesn't mean it's my "paid employment". It's bigger than me, which is why it needs a name beyond my name. It's a reflection of where I've directed my energy, interests, creativity, and personal resources since 2000 - interests that can be explored via http://www.dadamac.net/home
I live in SE London. I'm an experienced, qualified teacher, and a grateful graduate of the Open University (OU) - two strong influences on Dadamac. Thanks to the OU I'm a systems thinker, and, since the late 1970s, a practical investigator into relationships between computers and people (especially regarding new approaches and opportunities for teaching and learning).
My work pulls together education, development, the world of work, the impact of the Internet, and much more besides. I see life as a learning journey. I see the present as a time of enormous (often invisible) deep changes. I believe that the more we can "rub minds" and share what we know the better it will be for us as we go hurtling into an unknown and uncharted future.
I have written a personal history below.
A journey that started in the 1980s
I have been asking myself questions, doing practical stuff to explore the answers, and then writing or teaching about it since the late 1970s.
Back then I was an infant teacher and was often invited to speak about my innovative work exploring the role of microcomputers through programs she wrote herself. My contributions to the lecture circuit reach back to CAL 81 (symposium on Computer Assisted Learning) and the 1981 Micro Computer Show at Wembly Conference Centre.
Used copies of some of my early work - published under the name Pam Fiddy - can still be found on amazon: Micro-computers in Early Education and the children's book series on "Computers in Action" .
Fast forward to the present century
Since 2001 my practical work has been in Africa, at home in the UK, and perhaps most significantly, online. My work in Africa, from 2001, depended on the Internet. In 2008 I set up this Dadamac website to increase the visibility of collaborative work in Nigeria, especially supporting John Dada's work at Fantsuam Foundation (see UK -Nigeria weekly meetings) Evidence of my own work is scattered over the Internet, and is also gradually being included on this website. See Bringing more of Dadamac UK and elsewhere to Dadamac.net
The long view
I find that the older I get the more interested I become in the long view, forwards and backwards. This shows up in recent contributions to Despatches from the Invisible Revolution and The Future we Deserve where I wrote about The Invisible Revolution, The Future we Got and The Education we Deserve
Other interests
My current interests are reflected on the dadamac website, through postings to Dadamac's Posterous (note added July 2013 - posterous has now been closed so the archive has been moved over to Tumblr) and Twitter @pamela_mclean, and through the regular meetings I arrange online (First Thursdays) and face-to-face (Dadamac Meetups). Some of my previous interests and connections over recent years can be seen on an earlier personal blog LearnByDoing.

Once a day, Patch tackles national news that affects your community. If you have suggestions for tomorrow's story, email email@example.com.
Halloween is a tricky holiday for reformed helicopter parents: handing over a pillowcase filled with candy is like handing them the remote control -- something that may have made sense decades ago, but might not today, when studies about the toxicity of sugar and the obesity epidemic are everywhere.
Last Halloween, I was so unnerved by the amount of candy my kids hauled in that I came up with the "Halloween Fairy." She's a cousin to the tooth fairy, spawned from my imagination. Lore has it that if, on the night after Halloween, kids pick 10 treats from their spoils and then leave the rest at the foot of the bed, the Halloween Fairy will swap out the remaining candy with a cool toy. I know, pathetic. But I really wanted that candy out of my house.
Stronger parents than I might want to avoid the creation of another obligatory toy day.
Here are 5 ways to make your child's surplus Halloween candy disappear:
1) Send it to the troops: Many dentists take part in "Halloween Candy Buyback" programs where they trade young patients for their Halloween treats and then send the collected candy to American troops overseas. Operation Shoebox is another organization that accepts candy donations for the troops.
2) Communal bowl: Not only is a community bowl in the middle of the living room a good chance to hone those sharing skills, but it's also a lot harder for kids to keep track of the candy (i.e. parents can squirrel it out).
3) Keep only the least harmful stuff: According to Diabetic Living, mini Kit Kats, Almond M&M's, dark chocolate, Twizzlers, and Fruit Leather are all (relatively) good choices to hold on to if you are bargaining with a little one.
4) Save it for holiday cookies and gingerbread houses: I did this a couple of years with my daughters and it worked like a charm. By the time Christmas rolls in, that candy is the least exciting thing around. Then, when the gingerbread gets stale the whole thing can be tossed.
5) Play mad scientist: Clever mom Loralee Leavitt provides a variety of irresistible experiments to do with kids on her blog, Candy Experiments. The activities are educational and they render candy inedible!
Do you and your kids do anything special with the candy they collect? Tell us about it in the comments or in a blog post.

Very subtle but not as perfumed as other Yankee Candles I have purchased. Nice in a small room but lost in a large room.

However I did have some issues with play.com packaging, the first candle arrived smashed to pieces! I just ordered another since the price went down so fingers crossed it arrives in one piece. The candle itself though is flawless
