December 2, 2014: Informal discussion
December 9, 2014: Art Sussman and Marylin Low, Co-PIs, Pacific Islands Climate Education Partnership (PCEP)
Title: Multifaceted Climate Education in the Pacific Islands Region
Abstract: The Pacific islands Climate Education Partnership (PCEP) is a collaborative network of Pacific Island communities and organizations responding to the impacts of climate change and committed to enhancing climate education in the Pacific Island region. The core team includes PREL, WestEd, the University of Hawai'i, the College of the Marshall Islands, entity-based Curriculum and Instruction Chiefs, and other researchers. About 40 other organizations, including all U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) school systems and institutions of higher education, as well as governmental agencies and a broad range of non-profit groups and local communities, comprise the cadre of supporting partners. A PCEP-developed K-14 Climate Education Framework (CEF) guides the PCEP work in professional development, curriculum contextualization and dissemination, and assistance to community-school partnerships. The regional implementation and dissemination strategies are informed by deep understanding of the differences and similarities among the region's islands, cultures, and governments.
The PCEP vision is to empower the region's students and citizens through education that exemplifies modern science and indigenous environmental knowledge, addresses the urgency of climate change impacts, and honors indigenous cultures so that students and citizens within the region will have the knowledge and skills to improve understandings of climate change and adapt to its impacts. A strategy of connecting community adaptation and K-14 education to advance climate science education is particularly appropriate for this highly vulnerable and currently impacted region. This aspect of the PCEP work can serve as a beacon for climate education strategies that may become equally appropriate and desired if projected increases in climate change occur in other regions of the USA and internationally.
The presentation with CLN will highlight key PCEP activities. One focus will be on pedagogical content knowledge related to the carbon cycle and Earth's energy flows. A second major focus of the presentation is on mangrove climate adaptation as a way to illustrate the multi-faceted PCEP approach to climate education in the Pacific Island region.
Bio (Art Sussman): Dr. Art Sussman, a research scientist who has devoted his career to public undertanding of science and K-12 science education, is a Senior Project Director at WestEd, where he has worked for more than 20 years. He is perhaps best known as "Dr. Art," the author of the books Dr. Art's Guide to Science, Dr. Art's Guide to Planet Earth, and the DVD Dr. Art Does Science.
As Co-PI of the NSF-funded Pacific Islands Climate Education Partnership (PCEP), Sussman is coordinating multi-faceted strategies for implementing K-14 climate education in a wide variety of Pacific island contexts. Key activities include helping Pacific island states and countries to revise their grade level science education standards, developing curriculum resources contextualized to the Pacific Island region, and designing and implementing climate science professional development such as a "Climate 101" pedagogical content course taught at the community college level.
Sussman is also currently assisting the state of California in its implementation of the recently adopted Next Generation Science Standards. This work includes working on a Science Expert Panel to design an NGSS integrated middle school sequence; providing technical assistance in the state's current development of a California Science Framework that helps teachers and publishers understand the intent and content of the new standards; and assisting a WestEd grant-funded project that is working with eight California school districts that were selected as early NGSS adopters. Sussman is extending his NGSS work to include assisting the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which has adopted NGSS, and the state of Hawaii, which is considering NGSS adoption. A big part of this NGSS assistance focuses on climate related Performance Expectations and Disciplinary Core Ideas, systems as a Cross-Cutting Concept, and science content that is foundational for understanding climate.
Sussman is often the keynote or featured presenter at conferences and informal science venues. His Planet Earth Show enjoyably educates about Earth systems science.
Bio (Marylin Low): Marilyn Low is the Senior Specialist, Languages and Literacies, at Pacific Resources for Education and Learning (PREL) and a Co-PI of the NSF-funded Pacific Islands Climate Education Partnership (PCEP). She is committed to public education and its desire to promote rich and relevant learning experiences for students, K-14. Her continuing fields of interest include contextualized learning, and localized and transnational models of language and literacy education across and within disciplines. More recently, through experiences that integrated science, math, and literacy in the Philippines, her adolescent interests in science re-emerged and became rooted in questions of the environment and specifically of climate change. Ongoing conversations about climate change education in the Pacific led to PCEP, an incredible opportunity for us, in partnership, to plan and implement climate change education in the USAPI—one that informs and honors the people, ocean, and land of the Pacific.

June 10, 2014: Juliette Rooney-Varga (Director, Climate Change Initiative, UMass Lowell) World Climate: A Computer-Simulation-Based Role-Playing Exercise, a project of UMass Lowell and Climate Interactive
Abstract: Juliette will present World Climate, a simulation role-playing game in which participants get to take on the role of a delegate to the United Nations Conference of Parties in a facilitated role-playing game framed by state-of-the-art climate change science. During the webinar, she will give an intro to the game and the decision-support computer model, C-ROADS, that frames it. We'll then run a mini version of the game in which webinar participants can make their own decisions about climate policy for their negotiating bloc and use C-ROADS to find out what your global deal means for future generations. We'll discuss lessons learned, effective debrief and facilitation approaches, and instructional settings in which this tool can be used - from early high school to graduate school, to informal settings that have included university presidents, Nobel Prize-winning climate scientists, CEOs, policymakers, citizens, and students around the world.
World Climate's development and evaluation have been supported by grants from NASA and the National Science Foundation and external evaluation indicate that it is a powerful learning tool for delivering insights into the urgency, scale, and possibility of action for successfully mitigating climate change.
She is currently leading the NASA-funded CAM (Climate Education in an Age of Media) Project that puts the tools of media-making into the hands of students, in order to engage them with climate change science and empower them to add their own voices to the societal discourse about an issue that will impact younger generations significantly. She is also working closely with Climate Interactive, an organization that is at the forefront of creating decision-support simulations around climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy. With support from the National Science Foundation, Rooney-Varga's group and Climate Interactive are bringing decision-support simulations into immersive role-playing exercises that enable students, citizens, and decision-makers to come to their own insights, grounded in current scientific understanding, about the impacts of national and regional climate and energy choices and policies.
We will be using GoToMeeting for this teleconference call. Login information was sent on June 4 but will be included again with the usual announcement email.

May 27, 2014: Juliette Rooney-Varga (Director, Climate Change Initiative, UMass Lowell) Climate Education in a Age of Media (CAM) Project
Abstract: The CAM Project has developed a set of tools to make it easy to bring student media production into your climate change education work - whether you are working with middle school students or graduate students. We've found these tools to be a great way to engage students in climate change science and to empower them to add their voices to the societal discourse by learning how to 'write' in the language of video - an increasingly dominant form of communication. We are eager to share the CAM approach with other educators.
Here's a quote from Brian Stilwell, Associate Program Director of the Alliance for Climate Education (ACE) on the CAM Approach:
"The CAM framework and website have been powerful tools for activating our students and helping them make their voices heard through smart, effective media production. The website is easy to use and the resources provided ensure you are able to develop a high quality experience for your participants. However, even more key, the CAM framework helps high school students develop a robust understanding of the climate change situation, while fostering a deep connection to fostering climate solutions... we've seen inspiring results."
Bio: Juliette Rooney-Varga is Director of the UMass Lowell Climate Change Initiative (CCI) and Associate Professor of Environmental Biology. Her microbial ecology research has spanned diverse topics related to carbon cycling, climate change, and energy; from feedback loops in microbial production of methane in the Arctic and the climate system, to harnessing electricity produced by anaerobic microorganisms in soil.
She is currently leading the NASA-funded CAM (Climate Education in an Age of Media) Project that puts the tools of media-making into the hands of students, in order to engage them with climate change science and empower them to add their own voices to the societal discourse about an issue that will impact younger generations significantly.

April 22, 2014: Catherine Halverson, Emily Weiss and Traci Wierman, Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California at Berkeley, will talk on Ocean Sciences Curriculum Sequence for Grades 6–8: The Ocean–Atmosphere Connection and Climate Change
Abstract: Climate change is arguably the defining environmental issue of our generation. It is thus increasingly necessary for every member of the global community to understand the basic underlying science of Earth's climate system and how it is changing in order to make informed, evidence-based decisions about how we will respond individually and as a society. Funded by NOAA, the Ocean Sciences Curriculum Sequences are in-depth, kit-based curriculum units that deliver rich science content correlated to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), with an emphasis on the Practices of Science, and significant overlap with the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. The curriculum provides numerous opportunities for students to engage in investigations, construct explanations and argue from evidence. They are designed in accordance with the latest research on learning and were classroom-tested by teachers across the US in a wide variety of settings. The curriculum provides opportunities for students to explore the inextricable interconnection between Earth's ocean, atmosphere and climate, helping them to be better prepared to tackle the complex issues surrounding the causes and effects of climate change and evaluate some possible solutions.
Catherine Halversen is Co-Director of MARE and PI of several NSF-funded projects at the University of California Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science, including Communicating Ocean Sciences Informal Education Network. This national network of museums and aquariums partnered with universities offer regional professional learning for informal educators through the Reflecting on Practice program, and for science faculty to teach the Communicating Ocean Sciences college courses at their universities. She also serves as PI for Promoting Climate Literacy, an NSF project to develop a new Communicating Climate Science college course. Catherine led the development team that wrote the NOAA-funded Ocean Sciences Sequence for Grades 3–5, and for Grades 6–8: The Ocean–Atmosphere Connection and Climate Change.
Emily Weiss is one of the primary authors of the Ocean Sciences Sequence for Grades 6-8. She works in the Center for Leadership in Science Teaching at the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley. She is the Co-PI of an NSF-funded project (PRACTISE) focused on professional development to support scientific argumentation skills and is the current President of the Southwest Marine/Aquatic Educators' Association. She has taught elementary and middle school and has run informal ocean sciences education programs for middle and high school students.
Traci Wierman is a member of the Learning Design Group at the Lawrence Hall of Science. The Learning Design Group, working with the MARE team, developed the Ocean Sciences Sequence (OSS). Ms. Wierman's role is to lead the Curriculum Implementation Network supporting dissemination and implementation of various science curriculum programs, including the OSS.

April 8, 2014: Dana Haine, Program Director for the University of North Carolina's Climate Leadership and Energy Awareness Program.
Title: Empowering Pre-college Students to Engage in Climate Change Solutions
Abstract: Educators engaged in the climate literacy movement are aware that possession of knowledge about the earth's climate and the causes and consequences of climate change is not sufficient to empower individuals to change their behavior and become advocates for actions that promote a sustainable future. By educating 9th-12th grade students about our fossil fuel based economy, by featuring scientists and engineers who are working to develop solutions to increase the use of renewable energy sources, and by providing opportunities to develop science communication and leadership skills, the extracurricular science enrichment program, Climate Leadership and Energy Awareness Program (Climate LEAP) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill fosters a community of engaged youth and builds the capacity of the next generation of adults to address climate change.
In addition to increasing student knowledge of climate change science and of the solutions proposed to address climate change, program participants engage members of their community on the topics of climate change, energy awareness and/or sustainability through implementation of one or more community outreach project.
This session will include a description of the year-long program and the program evaluation plan which includes assessment of student learning. Measuring the program's impact on student behavior change to conserve energy and resources in daily life will also be addressed.
Bio: Dana Brown Haine, MS, K-12 Science Education Manager for the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill's Institute for the Environment, is program director for UNC's Climate Leadership and Energy Awareness program (Climate LEAP) and for the NC Climate Fellows Program, a teacher professional development program funded by a NASA Innovations in Climate Education (NICE) award. Dana creates and delivers learning experiences to grades 6-12 teachers, students and informal educators that are designed to provide access to current scientific information and relevant resources to help make informed decisions about environmental science topics such as climate change, energy and sustainability. She served on the NC Environmental Education Advisory Council from 2007-2011 and the NC Environmental Literacy Plan Working Group from 2009-2011. Prior to joining the Institute for the Environment, she was a science educator for DESTINY, UNC's Traveling Science Learning Program, and from 1998-2003 she was a science faculty member at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC. Dana earned her MS in Biology from Wake Forest University and received her BS in Biology from Appalachian State University.

March 18, 2014: Monthly joint discussion with National Climate Assessment Education Affiliate Group
It is a little over one month before the release of the National Climate Assessment.
Frank Niepold is working on a flyer for NSTA, which is early April prior to the launch, so the initial flyer will be a "coming soon!" teaser, but once the report is out and the website is up, we can continue to promote NCA and look for additional ways to add value, link to existing resources, etc.
As a primary focus of the call, I'm suggesting we brainstorm the names of and best way to contact organizations, lists, partners in the broad education arena who we should market the teachable moments of NCA to.

March 11, 2014: Laura Tucker and students (Ewan Shortess, Natalie Toews and John Reid) from the Students for Sustainability (SFS) group at Port Townsend (WA) High School
Title: Rally on the Rails: a 6,000 mile journey for climate action!
Abstract: Meet Students for Sustainability, a group of dedicated high school seniors in Port Townsend, WA who are creating a wave of student voices from across the U.S. to the 'other' Washington using only public transportation. Along the 55 stops at train stations from Seattle to D.C., they will gather petitions with suggestions, ideas and concerns about climate action to deliver to our leaders in our nation's capitol.
Laura Tucker has spent her life working for a better planet, including participating in the first Earth Day in 1970 and continuing through a career in environmental and science education. She has been honored to serve as the advisor to this amazing group of students for the past two years along with Lois Sherwood, their 10th grade science teacher.
Ewan Shortess, president of SFS, has dedicated the past two years to coordinating the efforts of this exceptional group. He received the E3 Washington Green Apple award in 2012 for environmental leadership with Students for Sustainability.
Natalie Toews, secretary of SFS and Senior Class President, set the course for this trip to D.C. by suggesting that plane travel was not 'walking their talk', resulting in the choice to take the bus, ferry and train all the way to the 'other' Washington.
John Reid has been instrumental in leading the effort to fix the broken recycling system at the school, conducting waste audits and creating a business plan to pay custodians to empty the recycling.
All are members of the National Honor Society for their scholarship and volunteer with many groups in their community including planting over 3,500 trees with the Northwest Watershed Institute and the Jefferson Land Trust, as well as working with the Food Bank, Search and Rescue, local radio station KPTZ, and the Port Townsend Film Festival.

February 18, 2014: Jimmy Betts, National Outreach and Collaboration Strategies for The Great March for Climate Action
The mission of the Great March for Climate Action is to change the hearts and minds of the American people, our elected leaders, and people across the world to act now to address the climate crisis. On March 1, 2014, hundreds of climate patriots will set out from Los Angeles, CA, walking 3,000 miles across America to Washington, DC, inspiring action to resolve the climate crisis. This will be one of the largest coast-to-coast marches in American history.
The March seeks to build the broadest possible public consensus and is focused strictly on the climate crisis. Marchers will, of course, have their own personal stories and perspectives. However, it is important that we stick to the core message, in unison, with our words, signs and public presentations. This is a collaborative/pluralistic movement wherein we provide the necessary structure for organized change. Through marching, we orchestrate a highly-visible, eight-month public display of human dedication and self-sacrifice. From this foundation, participating educators, affinity organizations and business partners are given a platform from which to discuss education, policy reform and sustainable development relevant to climate change.
Throughout the planning, Marching, and concluding phases of this movement, we will be seeking strategic alliances and collaboration with affinity organizations to advocate for lasting, sustainable actions to resolve the climate crisis. We do not exclusively seek monetary funding and do not align ourselves with political agendas, candidates or personas. Additionally, we are not funded on credit or loans. All sponsorship has been done through grassroots donations and individual fundraising efforts. Support through equipment, food donations, water supplies, and other resources as well as the less-tangible story-sharing in classrooms, traditional word-of-mouth conversations, and social media networking are vitally important to the success of our March.

Hi: 8° Lo:2°
By Tristan Harris Friday 24 January 2014 Updated: 28/01 23:18
TWO district councillors and one county councillor are calling for something to be done about parking outside Bromsgrove schools and speeding vehicles nearby in a bid to protect pupils from having a serious accident.
Coun Caroline Spencer and Coun Rod Laight said they were responding to pleas from concerned parents of children at Finstall First School and Aston Fields Middle.
Coun Laight said: "We are liasing with the police who are stepping up patrols to advise drivers on safe parking.
"A maximum speed limit of 20mph needs to be applied during the peak times."
Worcestershire County Councillor Kit Taylor is also pressing Highways officers in a bid to get something done.
He said: "This is a serious situation and of course we want a solution urgently but the problems are being experienced by schools nationwide and are mainly due to a lot of parents dropping off and picking up their children and causing traffic congestion.
A motion has been submitted to the next meeting of the full Worcestershire County Council.
That asks for cross-party support for the council to write to the leader of the authority, asking that all pupils in Bromsgrove be safeguarded by implementing the suggested measures.
A Worcestershire County Council spokesperson said: "We have been working with Coun Kit Taylor and continue to look for a viable solution. "

Mallett rules himself out of England running
ESPNscrum Staff
November 16, 2011
The RFU contacted Mallett earlier in the week concerning the team manager post © Getty Images
England have suffered an early blow in their search for Martin Johnson's successor after Nick Mallett ruled himself out of the running.
Johnson resigned from his position as England team manager on Wednesday after weeks of speculation following the side's early exit from the 2011 World Cup. And with Jim Mallinder and Graham Henry in the frame to take the biggest job in English rugby, former Italy coach Mallett was another man mooted to be a potential contender to take the helm.
But after previously suggesting he could be interest in leading England into the 2015 World Cup, Mallett has now ruled himself out of the reckoning through a statement on his agent's website and also revealed the Rugby Football Union made contact with him about the post prior to Johnson's resignation.
"I would like to lay to rest the speculation linking me to the now-vacant England Rugby coaching position," Mallett's statement read. "The RFU contacted me earlier this week to enquire about my availability for the position, should Martin Johnson resign. I had previously expressed my interest in the position publicly and was interested to hear what RFU representatives had to say.
"After mulling it over for a few days and discussing the opportunity with close friends and family, I have decided that I will not be making myself available for the position and I have disclosed this to the RFU. My primary concern is my family - I am happy to have returned home to South Africa after a tremendous four-year term with the Italian national team. We are settled in Cape Town and it is my wish to be able to enjoy time with my wife and kids after four years in Italy.
"I thank the RFU for making their interest known to me. The job of England coach is one of the most prestigious in world rugby and I wish them all the best in their quest for the best possible man for the job."

Pittsburgh - You have $100 for 2 people. Where do you go?
- p
- Panini Guy Feb 29, 2012 06:09 AM
Not much talk about Pittsburgh here lately, so thought I'd start a new thread.
For my wife and I, the answer continues to be Salt. There are some places we haven't been to yet and would like to try that may change our minds. But of the newer places we did try, after each meal we'd talk about what our total bill would've gotten us at Salt and how whatever it was we just ate seemed like far less value (and tastiness) than what we would've had at Salt for the same price.
As to the $100, we typically don't get dessert. So it's a glass of wine (OK, I may have two), an app and an entree each. At Salt that usually comes in around $80, add tax and a 20% tip and you're right around $100.
I'll add that we both appreciate a variety of tastes in our meals and we get bored after a few bites of a big chop or steak, which apparently makes us oddities in these parts.
So where do you go with your $100 for two? And what makes that a good value or a good experience in your book? Taste? Quantity? Scene?
My Fav. place right now is Dish Osteria (s side).. I grew up with Italian food and it can be very hard to really get me excited for anything in that realm. However, DISH consistantly proves me wrong with every meal and app I have gotten there. The changing menu helps bring in new flavors and ideas.
Not to mention it is very nice to bring a date.. I think you could eat and drink well for under 100..
It might not be anything too special but always a good meal
re: Effort
I wasn't considering BYO but that does allow one more flexibility on how to spend $100. Haven't been to Root174 yet but have heard good things.
re: INDIANRIVERFL
Munch - the guy who talks in code and has never given a bad review to anybody... that guy? I find him absolutely useless. Sorry.
re: Panini Guy
Don't be sorry, I value your opinion. Down here the critic's review seem to be in conjunction with a new ad campaign. Sorry to see it is the same there.
re: INDIANRIVERFL
Munch isn't the real critic, China Millman does the reviews for 'finer dining', and she's quite good. I have no idea why the PG even publishes Munch other than to appease people looking for cheap eats.
re: INDIANRIVERFL
Indianriver-- Depending on the last time you were in PGH, there was been a lot of very good places opening up
It seems to me you're giving a pretty high estimate for Salt. Course, depends on which wines and entrees you order. Obviously, I agree that it's a great value considering the quality.
Some of my favorite cheap places in Pittsburgh:
Smiling Banana Leaf in highland park. The curries are delicious, the space is very inviting and cozy, and the prices are quite low considering the quality of the food that comes out of their kitchen. It's BYOB.
Oishi Bento in Oakland. The kalbi is fantastic even though they seemed to have scaled back on how much fat is left on the meat (that's a negative for me, but I'm sure others will appreciate it). The udon and bibimbap are both respectable. The maki rolls are one of the best examples of why Americanized sushi isn't necessarily a bad thing - I especially enjoy the rice, which is reliably warm and well seasoned. It's barely more than a take-out hole in the wall, but you can get a great meal for well under $50/person. I have no idea what the alcohol policy is.
I enjoy Piccolo Fiorno, and I think you'll get good food and good value there if you stay away from most of the pasta entrees, which can be hit and miss and tend to be pricier. I assume you're already familiar with them since they get a lot of mention here though.
Point Brugge often has been good the few times I've been there. Not any cheaper than Salt, but nice if you want a change of pace. Their kitchen seems to have a lot of finesse, and it's a good place to find technique-heavy cooking for a decent price. It seems to be a better place for beer than for wine. I haven't been to its sister Park Brugge yet, but I've heard some good things.
re: cowboyardee
cowboy - I was figuring for two people $18 wine, $18 apps, $44 entrees, which gets to $80. Add in $5.60 tax and a $16 tip and you're just over $100.
Thanks for the tip on Oishi Bento. Didn't know about it. Agree with you on Smiling Banana Leaf and Point Brugge. Personally prefer Il Pizzaiolo over Piccolo Forno, but I can see the appeal.
re: Panini Guy
I misread you. I thought you were figuring at just under $100 per person at Salt (I have no idea how much the avg glass of wine is there since I've never ordered one). Your figures look about right for the average meal there.
Haven't been to Il Pizzaiolo. Another neopolitan-style place, right? Must try. BTW have you been to Dinette? I was only there once but the pizza was pretty good, and they had a really awesome salumi plate. I'll admit one of my favorite things about PF is just their sandwiches and soup for lunch, both of which tend to be delicious and very well priced.
Truth is I always feel a little weird giving Pittsburgh recs since I live a good while south of the city and I don't get out to Pittsburgh restaurants as much as a respectable chowhound regular should.
re: cowboyardee
If you know anything good in the stretch from Washington to Morgantown, let's hear it... we go down that way often.
You'll probably like Il Piz. I think Ron, the owner, pays more attention to ingredients and the crusts are more consistent than PF. Been to Dinette once, loved it, but so many new options for other places we still haven't been to, so pizza usually not on the priority list.
re: Panini Guy
I've got some bad news for you: in between washington and Morgantown, it's been slim pickings, best I can tell. If anyone has any recs for me I'd be happy to hear em.
That said, here are a few bright(ish) spots:
- My Son's Rib Shack on route 19 near the Jefferson Exit off 79 is an enjoyable greasy spoon. Some of the barbecued stuff is pretty decent (though it tends to be cooked longer and more tender than I like). The rest of the stuff (burgers and the like) is up to par for roadside stand/diner type food, which is better than a lot of the stuff I've tried in the Waynesburg area.
- Still in Waynesburg, Hot Rod's House of Barbecue is worth a look. Not great barbecue, but not terrible, and anyway - Pittsburgh doesn't seem to have especially great barbecue either (that I've seen)
- Not a restaurant, but the Waynesburg farmers market has some good stuff. I'm talking about the brick and mortar store. It's worth checking out on principle just because the guy who runs it is so nice (i know the mods get worried whenever you mention any interpersonal dealings with businesses, but it's such a small shop that any regular customer can't help but become friendly with the owner, who's always there). The lamb is especially great.
When I go out to dinner, I usually wind up in Morgantown. I could give you some recs for morgantown, if you eat there much. I haven't explored the Washington side of 79, so I can't help you out much there. None of the places in or around wburg justify going too far out of your way, sadly. I do a lot of home cooking.
I think I'm probably the biggest Salt fan boy around. I know I'm the biggest one living in San Diego :D
I was the same. I prefer more "inventive" dishes. Taste and quality always come first in my book - I actually prefer Salt right at 5 before the crowd hits.
I think Salt will always be at the tops of my list for upper casual. A tad pricier and a bit more formal of a feel is Spoon - the food is consistently awesome and 2 for 100 shouldn't be a problem.
When Notion opens back up, go - but spend the extra money for a tasting. Skip one of your other dinners out and save, you'll have a lot of fun.
I've had some very good dishes at Root 174, and the menu is another fun one.
Bite Bistro is worth a visit - a bit more straight forward, but very good, nice scene.
Recently Cure impressed me - the dishes are a tad more straight forward but everything was really good.
Still, I'd go with Spoon. Ask if you can add a supplemental foie course if it's not available. Great food, very nice/relaxed setting and still in your price range.
re: Rodzilla
Haven't been to Spoon, so thanks for giving the thumbs up. Funny thing is whenever I suggest something in E.Lib, my wife always retorts with, "Why don't we just go to Salt instead." It's that big in this house.
Leaving Cure for that time when we're in a meat frenzy. I have to get past Chef Racicot's attitude to give Notion a fair shot. I'm sure it's good, but I have issues with the guy I won't get into here.
You do get around. Wish I knew SD besides Bird Rock, Urban and that fish taco place next to the trolley stop at the convention center.

Battery and shaver manufacturer Energizer Holdings, Inc. announced that earnings for the first quarter ended Dec. 31, 2004 were U.S. $121.7 million, or $1.62 per diluted share, versus net earnings of $115.0 million, or $1.32 per diluted share in the first fiscal quarter of 2004. Last year's first quarter included previously unrecognizable tax benefits of $6.7 million, or $0.08 per share.
For the quarter, sales increased 8 percent to $875.9 million and segment profit increased 13 percent to $215.1 million due to improvements in all three segments. Favorable currency translation accounted for $23.8 million of the sales increase and $10.2 million of the segment profit increase, the company said. On a constant currency basis, sales and segment profit increased 5 percent and 8 percent, respectively. General corporate and other expenses increased $9.3 million, and interest and other financing items increased $2.6 million.
"We are encouraged by the first quarter results and the balance of our growth between businesses and geographies," said Ward Klein, newly appointed CEO. "The innovative new products launched over the past two years, including QUATTRO and Intuition shaving systems and Energizer e2 Lithium AAA batteries, are contributing to our growth. We are pleased about our product portfolio and the overall position of the company."

GUISELEY are set to be without star striker Adam Boyes for at least a fortnight.
