Reframing and Refining the Worksheet
Worksheets matter! I know we hear a lot of talking points that tell us to get rid of them, but I think it's much more complicated than that. That call for "no more worksheets" comes from a place where that is all there is. By that I mean classrooms where students do nothing but worksheets. Often these worksheets are de-contextualized from relevant work, and this is where there's an opportunity to reframe and refine the traditional worksheet. There is a time and place for drill and practice or individual practice -- even in a PBL project. The key is to make it appropriate and relevant.
A recent visit to a PBL school jumpstarted my brain on this issue. I had the pleasure of visiting the ACE Leadership Academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here students work collaboratively on PBL projects that focus on Architecture, Construction and Engineering. The projects are relevant, and students are partnering with local companies and organizations to make them happen. During the visit, I had the chance to watch students at work.
Worksheets That Model a Career Tool
Students consistently worked on a piece of paper shown below. This paper looked similar to a tool that architects or construction workers use. Now, while this might be used for drafting a building plan (and in fact it was), it was also used for doing practice math problems, for annotating texts and for other instructional practices. When I talked with students, some mentioned they liked working on the same sheet. "It feels more real," one said. "It helps to remind me why I do the work."
As we design worksheets, let's consider making them look like the real-world work that students are doing -- or could be doing. Although it might be considered an aesthetic change, it did help bring relevance to work that is often decontextualized. The worksheet itself helps to build the culture of relevance and real-world connection.
Worksheet used at ACE Leadership Academy
Other Tips for Worksheets
Include the Driving Question Where Students Can See It
Like changing the look of the worksheet, this piece may seem too simple to make a real change. However, we know that if the driving question is present during a PBL project, it can be a great engagement tool. Effective PBL teachers have students reflect and unpack the driving question throughout the PBL project. As that question captures the purpose of the work, why not have it present on a worksheet? Presence of purpose can create relevance and engagement.
Rubric and Reflection
Remember that a rubric can actually be just another quality indicator. For worksheets that focus on small, more discrete skills, consider including those corresponding rubrics on the worksheet. This lets students see how to meet and exceed a standard. Even if a rubric is not appropriate to the worksheet, have students reflect and set goals for improving, or simply celebrate their learning. This will help them know exactly what they've learned and see the next steps.
Scaffolding the Levels of Questions
Often, the questions we ask students about a piece of content or text are not ordered in a way that can help scaffold their thinking. Start with more identification and comprehension questions, and move through inference, evaluative and predictive questions. Students will be able to handle the "cognitive load" because the questions scaffold the thinking needed to answer the bigger questions. Use Costa's Levels of Questions to help.
While these are technical and aesthetic changes to the worksheet, it is more critical that teachers continually connect the daily work to the authentic task or project through discussion, metacognition and reflection. These changes to the way we design and use worksheets are just some of the ways that great teachers are using a variety of teaching tools to engage our students.

Malaysian sex-case diplomat asks for delay in return to New Zealand
Published on Jul 4, 2014 10:04 AM
WELLINGTON - The Malaysian diplomat who is facing charges for sexual assault in New Zealand wants his return to the country to be deferred until after the Islamic fasting month.
A source in Kuala Lumpur has told the New Zealand Herald that Rizalman has asked to remain in the Malaysian capital until after Hari Raya, which falls on July 28 and marks the end of Ramadan.
However, it is understood the request will not be entertained, with a Malaysian foreign affairs official saying the diplomatic corps warrant officer will be sent back "as soon as possible", the newspaper reported.
A doctor at the Tuanku Mizan Military Hospital, where Rizalman is being held for tests on his mental and emotional condition, said he would not be discharged until the medical examinations were complete.

We are currently hiring for the following positions:
Part-Time Sales Team Member
We have expanded! Our second location is now open in Clay, NY.
Fleet Feet Sports opened its doors to a second location in Clay, NY on November 1, 2013. As our business grows, our team does too. We are hiring for both locations. See above for open positions and read on to see if Fleet Feet Sports is the right fit for you:
Just like the Fleet Feet Sports community at large, our employees have a passion for pursuing an active lifestyle and a desire to make a difference. We work hard, but it is a labor of love. Our team enjoys inspiring others to get moving and is focused on positive change in our community. If you want the satisfaction of waking up each day knowing you can make a difference, we hope you'll consider joining our team.
Before you consider filling out our employment application, we have some things for you to think about. Are you right for Fleet Feet Sports? Are we right for you?
Are you available on evenings and weekends? In this business, evenings and weekends are a KEY TIME when many of our customers shop and stop by the store for one of our many fun runs and seminars.
Are you a team player? Fleet Feet Sports is like a family and we work closely with each other, sometimes under stress.
Are you willing to learn new things? People know us as the FIT experts. "FIT" does not just refer to shoes but all of our products and our services. You'll need to make an effort to get educated about all of our products, so that you can deliver the highest level of service our guests have come to expect.
Do you pay attention to the little things? It's the thoughtful little touches that make a "specialty" store so special, like remembering a frequent guests' name or what type of shoe they run in. Going an extra mile for a guest by staying open late or rush shipping them a pair of socks before a big race is what sets us apart. Fun little extras go a long way and make your job worth the effort.
Are you patient and eager to serve people? We expect team members to take a friendly attitude towards customers-to smile and greet them as soon as they walk in, to make conversation with all kinds of people, to serve their needs, to take time and care for them.

IV Lasix, Phenergan, Solumedrol
- 0Feb 11, '06 by free50Hi, I am new to this website and am a first year nursing student in my second semester of school. Our instuctor has told us to learn about the following IV therapies: Lasix, Phenergan and Solumedrol. Any help that anyone can give to me would be greatly appreciated.
- 0Feb 12, '06 by JentheRN05Well I have ONE suggestion. ALWAYS dilute phenergan. It kills the veins and hurts like heck!! I dilute it nearly 50/50 because it is so incredibly bad, actually more than that (dilution wise). Phenergan (if I remember correctly) also potentiates major pain killers so it must be given with caution. But not many know this secret.
Lasix, ALWAY watch potassium - with lasix as fluid as removed from the body the potassium is also removed and potassium levels almost always drop, it should almost always be given with a potassium supplement such as Kdur.
Solumedrol - if I remember correctly ALWAY be careful administering this with diabetics because I believe it raises blood sugar.
Okay so maybe I had more in this tired mind than I thought Hope it helps
- 0Feb 12, '06 by EricTAMUCC-BSNNot a whole lot to add to what Jen said, but i'll add anyways
Promethazine is a Phenyl D. It was first used as a pesticide, it contains Hg. It is often used for nausea. It can be used for anxiety, inflammation, and psychosis.
- 0Feb 12, '06 by GooeyRNI agree on diluting the phengergan. It can make lol confused. I learned this through experience. They can also hallucinate. IV lasix works pretty quick. Push it slow and be expecting to take them to the BR very frequently for the next 2 hours or so. If giving Solumedrol IV push watch for an increase in heart rate. Its not as common if given slowly through IVPB but it can still happen. Also watch those blood sugars in diabetics.

Military shake-ups could worsen Congo's mass rape problem(Read article summary)
Shuffling and regrouping among Congo's troops is creating a volatile environment that encourages violence and potentially mass rape, as shown in the rape of at least 120 women in early June.
Over the past few days, information has come trickling in about yet another case of mass rape in the eastern Congo. According to Doctors Without Borders, local health centers, and the UN, anywhere between 121 and 170 women may have been raped on June 11 and 12 in Abala and Nyakiele, two villages in Fizi territory, South Kivu.
Why? In most reports on the incident, the essential context is missing. In this case, the context is the simultaneous integration of armed groups and the formation of new regiments out of existing brigades. This twin process – while probably necessary – has been rushed and has produced a volatile and often violent situation, of which this mass rape may be a symptom.
So what happened in Fizi? This is what we know so far.
The Congolese army is undergoing a process of troop consolidation, regrouping their brigades – which are often desperately understaffed, with only 400-800 soldiers – into regiments of 1,200 soldiers. So far, four regiments have been formed in South Kivu, and another five are on their way. Soldiers are being pulled together in training centers, where they are consolidated and placed under new command.
On June 7, the commander of the 10th military region, General Patrick Masunzu, ordered all weapons in the Kananda training center to be stockpiled. This infuriated Colonel Kifaru Niragire, who had been commanding the 43rd sector. Col. Kifaru alleged that Gen. Masunzu was going to name Colonel Ruterera, a Munyamulenge officer from the FRF armed group, as the commander of the newly formed regiment. As Kifaru was the previously the overall commander of several brigades, he felt he was being passed over in favor of an officer from Masunzu's ethnic community.

He hasn't caused any damage at all, and probably is as racists or less so, than a good percentage of either ethnic community involved. I can't see how it's even an issue.
What damage could he possibly have done? He is a victim of racism.
In some ways I would say he is more of a victim than the finger pointers!
I really don't care. He is entitled to his own thoughts and speech.
Yes, he certainly is.
I think the incident has been blown out of proportion. It seems to be a plot against him to leaad him into making unwise rmarks and recording them to use against him. That is theft and conspiracy. Some conspirators damaged him badly.
Its simply a group of people who believe that only PC thoughts should be allowed making a mountain out of a piece of gravel. Eventually, Sterling will prevail. he reaction of the NBA is blatantly illegal. They are simply pandering to a large percentage of the NBA's market. The last time I checked, it is not legal to deprive a person of their livelihood based on what you believe he thinks.
His girlfriend on the recording sounds like a ****.

And he's no better for letting her bait him into that kind of conversation..and he also sounds kind of out of it..and I think he's a bigot.
She is the person to blame for conspiring against him.
Neither one of them were right in that scenario..she should be prosecuted as well.
I think He is an Old man Jealous,of his Young Girl friend showing off with a bunch of young Black guys. I only say Black guys,because of the stereotype of Black guys Having extra large "Equipment" .In the tape I heard he said his friends were telling him about it. I know how these thinks work. An old Man,with a young Hot Girlfriend? You know his friends were Razzing him telling Him. He wasn't satisfying his Girl,and those Big Black guys were Giving HER something that the Old man Couldn't.
My question is, is it right in AMERICA for someone to be recorded "In his own House" A Private conversation. He didn't say the N word.He was just mad that she was always Hanging out with Black guys and making him Look bad. What is this country coming to when you can't voice your own thoughts in private. Without them being used to try to ruin your life.
Reminds me of Nazi Germany. People were afraid to speak their minds ,cause their neighbor might turn them in. Personally I didn't think what he said was so bad. Like I said, I took it as more of an Old man being jealous,than racial. Another thing, people don't MIND the fact that he has a Wife,"and" a Girlfriend,just that he doesn't want her hanging out with Black Guys. lol
My Ignorant views ? let me guess your a Minority,and like a lot of others are looking for a reason to Pound your chest,and ask for sympathy. I thought you wanted actual "Views", "Opinions" on the subject. it's now obvious your just people to Validate your OWN closed minded Thoughts,Or LACK of them. :)
Contrary to what you seem to believe, there is no law against racism. There is however,a law against illegally recording a private conversation and making it public. Sterling is the victim here... no one else is a victim based on all that has been release... legally and otherwise.
How is he being biased by pointing out that no law has been broken, no one was physically or financially injured and that it was a private conversation that never should have been made public? We all have a right to believe and think what we want.
If you want to discuss bias, then try to remember the comments that Magic Johnson made some years ago when he was publicly discussing his sexual conquests with white women. ..... now he condemns another man for his private thoughts? Just what did Sterling say that was offensive???... that he didn't want his "chippy" hanging out with black men? Come on. you need to think before typing.
Come on... do you live in some alternative universe?
He just doesn't know that he is because he's got so much money no one want's to correct him and his behavior.
Of course he's a racist. People like to blame everyone else for his remarks - I don't know why - and most don't know he's been taken to court by the Dept. of Justice of illegal discriminatory landlord practices.
So, why the bid deal now.... if he was this terrible person all along, why does the NAACP give him annual awards?
Oh, I'm not saying it should be a big deal now, except that it's so easy to lure people in with bright shiny objects like tape and video. He's been a terrible person all along and the NAACP took his money as a "good gesture" so he wouldn't look like such a bigot. Shame on them; it makes them complicit. But I agree that he shouldn't lose his job and will probably win a lawsuit unless the NBA can produce a clearly written policy outlining specific repercussions to specific actions. Which, of course, they won't be able to do.
Because he donates money to them and had not been caught on tape running his mouth.
At the very least he's a jackass
He is and doesn't care.
I think he discriminates everyone. Because of this, the discrimination cancels out.
He's a weird racist. He fully knows what he did and is trying to save what's left of his career.
He must die
That's too much.
How extreme can you be?

Since Windstream [WIN] shook up telecom valuations by spinning off assets into a real-estate investment trust, things have gotten so wacky that the historically high-yielding CenturyLink [CTL] yesterday saw its dividend yield fall below that of staid telecom stalwart AT&T [T]. Morgan Stanley says yesterday's 5.31% closing yield for AT&T marked the first time it yielded more than CTL (5.30%) since CTL established its high payout policy back in 2008, saying the market "has generally demanded a higher yield from the RLEC space than from the Bells to compensate for the lower growth prospects." And in fact T's yield slipped back below CTL's yield on Tuesday.
Looking ahead, Morgan Stanley says CenturyLink is seen as more likely than AT&T to consider (and benefit from) a REIT spinoff similar to what Windstream did. AT&T is a bit cheaper in P/E terms, but CenturyLink offers nearly double the free cash flow yield. But on balance Morgan Stanley sees more upside in AT&T:
While we rate both stocks Equal-weight, we have modest 4% upside to our AT&T base case of $36, while our CenturyLink base case valuation is $37 (-9%, or 4% total one year return net of dividends). We see several factors driving the relative performance in coming weeks: 1) Progress of wireless wars, as Sprint and others tweak pricing ahead of the iPhone 6 rollout, 2) Spectrum auctions, particularly AWS-3 in November where AT&T is expected to be active, 3) REIT rollout, as investors, regulators and others digest Windstream's actions further.
Income investors seeking better yields than bonds offer these days, take note. Citi equity researchers today updated their "Global Bond Refugees" screen, which they came up with last year to help investors dissatisfied by low bond yields but wary of stock volatility. Citi says its list highlights bond-like stocks with "premium" dividend yields and low drawdowns – a measure of price volatility – at a time when bond yields are still low by historical standards and stocks yield more than government bonds in all major DM markets outside the US. Here's Citi explaining its methodology:
We screen the 500 largest (by market cap) stocks from the MSCI AC World Index with dividend yield at least 10% premium to the market, where the drawdown over the previous three years was in the lowest quintile and where the company has not been a net issuer of stock over the previous three years.
Citi says the global screen results in 28 companies that are tilted towards defensive stocks, with Consumer Staples, Health Care and Telecoms emerging as the most represented sectors. Here are the 16 U.S companies that make the cut, listed with their 12-month trailing dividend yields (each at least 2.7%):
Citi Private Bank is out with its mid-year investing outlook, and it tells income investors to expect U.S. bond yields to continue rising during the second half of this year and into 2014, estimating that Federal Reserve easing programs have artificially depressed the 10-year Treasury yield by around 100 basis points. From Citi:
Getting the exact timing right for a rise in interest rates has always been challenging. It is no different this time around, particularly since a number of economic and geopolitical headwinds ensure that the move to higher rates will not be linear. Indeed, investors who hedge or seek to profit from higher rates could risk being too early should economic prospects fall short of what we expect.
In our view, though, the softer growth of the first half 2013 in the US is temporary, and economic momentum will accelerate later this year. Thus, the risks of not hedging portfolios or floating rate liabilities for a higher US rate climate currently outweigh the costs.
Citi urges investors to favor credit risk (lower-grade bonds) over interest-rate risk (longer-dated, higher-rated bonds that are more sensitive to rising rates), to diversify sources of yield and to consider floating-rate investments. Citi also offers an entire section on "Identifying Sustainable Yield," saying investors should start with core "yield staples," including both high-grade and high-yield U.S. corporate bonds, emerging market sovereign bonds, master limited partnerships and dividend-paying stocks. It says investors can then look to yield supplements, which it describes as "less conventional, less liquid strategies" and include closed-end mutual funds, non-agency mortgage-backed securities and structured products.
And here's Citi's take on dividends-paying stocks:
As higher interest rates are expected, the tailwind for dividend stocks will abate — even as regions differ. However, dividend income is no fad. Over long periods, compounded dividend income has provided roughly half of equity total returns — a fact lost on many short-term-oriented investors. We view the consistent paying and increasing of dividends as signs of a healthy company, and while the composition of our portfolios might be in store for some change as the economic outlook evolves, we continue to feel that a focus on both dividends and growth is warranted even after the strong run over the past couple of years.
Income just keeps getting harder to find from any investment source. Justin Lahart is out with a Heard on the Street column in today's Wall Street Journal looking at the losses suffered by some exchange-traded funds that focus on dividend-paying stocks over the past couple of weeks, as bond markets fell sharply following some mixed messages from the Fed:
The bond-market selloff… sent the yield on 10-year Treasurys up to the highest level in over a year—and that has weighed on dividend-paying stocks. For example, the iShares High Dividend Equity ETF (HDV) has declined 2.3% since Mr. Bernanke made his comment, versus 1.7% for the S&P 500.
The column, which also cites the Vanguard High Dividend Yield, (VYM) the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation (VIG) and the SPDR S&P Dividend (SDY) ETFs, says investors face the biggest risk because of significant overlap in the holdings of such ETFs:
A recent Credit Suisse (CSGN.VX) analysis identified 20 companies with the biggest share of market float, or publicly available shares, held by dividend-focused ETFs. These ranged from Cincinnati Financial, (CINF) where ETFs control 4% of the float, to Pitney Bowes (PBI) (which recently announced it will slash its dividend) at 15%.
An equal-weighted index of these stocks was up 21.7% on the year as of May 21, the day before Mr. Bernanke spoke. Since then, it has fallen 3.4%, twice as fast as the market overall. Crowded trades are less fun when people are crowding out.
This blog spent much of the past couple of weeks following the broad bond-market selloff and its ramifications for other income markets, namely how mortgage real-estate investment trusts got absolutely hammered last month, with popular mREITs Annaly Capital Management (NLY) and American Capital Agency Corp. (AGNC) losing 14.2% and 21.9% respectively, while the iShares FTSE NAREIT Mortgage PLUS Capped Index Fund (REM) lost 10.8%. In today's Wall Street Journal, Jonathan Cheng looks back at a month that saw a sharp climb in U.S. Treasury yields lead to a sharp selloff in REITs and other dividend-paying equities that investors had previously been stockpiling as alternatives to low-yielding bonds:
Hardest hit were utilities, telecommunications stocks and real-estate investment trusts, all of which had benefited from the Federal Reserve keeping government-bond yields at rock-bottom levels…. A continued swift rise in bond yields could mean a continued retreat from dividend-paying stocks as investors decide they are getting a better deal in safe government debt…. REITs, which pay out 90% of their income as dividends, have also seen a sudden reversal of fortune….
Homebuilders have also felt the pain, as the nationwide interest rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 3.81% last week, its highest in a year, according to Freddie Mac (FMCC). The increase in mortgage rates, which are closely tied to Treasury rates, helped send shares of home builders Lennar Corp. (LEN) and Toll Brothers Inc. (TOL), down 8.1% and 7%, respectively, last week. Those losses came despite data showing nationwide home prices in March jumped 10.2% from a year earlier, the biggest gain since 2006.
The story notes that the next real test for stocks and bonds alike will be the May's U.S. employment report, which the Labor Department will release Friday and which could lead to a clearer indication of how close the Federal Reserve is to dialing back its bond-buying programs.
Citi is out with its monthly list of CDS-adjusted dividend-paying stocks, which Citi says "looks for stocks with high dividend yields but also solid prospects according to the CDS market." To recap: Citi picks global stocks with a market cap above $10 billion and a dividend yield at least 1.5 percentage points higher than median-yielding stocks. Citi filters these for companies with credit-default swap spreads under 100 basis points (the lower the CDS, the lower the perceived credit risk).
The February list still skews a bit toward Europe and comprises 69 companies (unchanged from January), with a 4.7% average yield (down from 4.8%) that Citi forecasts will grow by 4% in 2013 and an average CDS of 62 bps (unchanged). The screen remains overweight global defensive stocks and underweight financials, which the CDS market still regards as risky, although Citi says the weighting of the financial sector has been growing since mid-2012.
There are 26 U.S.-based companies, unchanged from last month. Pfizer (PFE), which seemingly jumps in and out of the list on an every-other-month basis, falls off this month's list, after rejoining the list last month, and First Energy (FE) follows suit. AbbVie (ABBV) and Raytheon (RTN) join the list this month. Herewith the latest full U.S. list:
Citi is out with its newest monthly list of high dividend-paying stocks screened for companies that get top marks in the credit-default swaps market, which this blogger and his corporate credit background see as a pretty clever method for selecting quality dividend stocks.
The rules: Citi picks global stocks with a market cap above $10 billion and a dividend yield at least 1.5 percentage points higher than median-yielding stocks. Citi filters these for companies whose credit-default swap spreads are currently under 100 basis points (the lower the CDS, the lower the perceived credit risk).
The latest list still skews a bit toward Europe and comprises 69 companies, up from 61 last month, with a 4.8% average yield that Citi forecasts will grow by 4% in 2013 and an average CDS of 62 bps. The screen remains overweight global defensive stocks and underweight financials, which the CDS market still regards as risky.
There are 26 U.S.-based companies, up from 21 last month. Pfizer (PFE) and Reynolds American (RAI) returned to the list, along with newer entrants including, Equity Residential (EQR), Kraft Foods (KRFT), FirstEnergy (FE) and Waste Management (WM). Mondelez International (MDLZ) fell off the list. Herewith the latest full list of U.S. companies:
BlackRock – which by its name presumably knows a thing or two about craggy, gloomy precipices – is out with a new report assessing the investing landscape in the aftermath of the not-so-grand compromise that averted the dread fiscal cliff. Herewith, in three strata, we offer BlackRock's exploration of some of the bedrock elements of post-cliff income investing, courtesy of its global chief investment strategist, Russ Koesterich:
We believe dividend stocks look attractive. While dividend tax rates will increase for some taxpayers, the deal should not have a significant effect on dividends. The change in tax treatment is quite modest and will only impact a small percentage of taxpayers. In any case, US companies have a history of making investors whole on an after-tax basis. With current payout ratios near historic lows and balance sheets quite strong, companies have ample room to raise dividend payments to compensate investors for any changes in tax treatment.
Regarding fixed income, we believe that slower growth levels imply that Treasury yields will stay low for at least the first half of 2013. Treasuries, however, still look unattractive to us. Real yields are negative and duration risk is high, which means even a modest increase in yields would have a significantly negative impact on Treasury prices. We suggest investors focus on credit sectors of the fixed income market, with a particular emphasis on high yield, bank loans, structured credit (including commercial mortgage backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and non-agency mortgages) and emerging market debt.
Finally, we believe municipal bonds remain competitive on a tax-adjusted basis for US investors. Higher marginal rates for at least some investors, along with little prospect of changes to municipal bonds' tax status, make munis even more attractive on an after-tax basis. While we are unlikely to see significant capital appreciation from municipal bonds, their after-tax yields are attractive and munis remain a solid source of income.
Boeing Co. (BA) late Monday announced a 10% increase in its quarterly dividend to 48.5 cents, payable March 8, 2013 to shareholders as of Feb. 15.
Boeing also said it's resuming its stock repurchase program, with repurchases currently expected to total between $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion in 2013. The repurchase program is expected to use the remaining $3.6 billion previously authorized by the Boeing board of directors in October 2007. Boeing said it plans to begin repurchasing shares following its fourth-quarter earnings announcement in late January 2013.
"Strong cash generation, consistently solid core operating performance and a positive growth outlook enable us to take these steps to deliver value for our shareholders," said Jim McNerney, Boeing chairman, president and CEO, in a statement.
Boeing shares were recently down 24 cents after hours to $74.41, with a new dividend yield of 2.6%, up from 2.36% pre-dividend hike.
Citi is out with its monthly update to its list of select dividend-paying stocks of companies that also earn the approval of the smarter, savvier corporate credit markets.
To recap: Citi picks out global stocks with a market cap greater than $10 billion and a dividend yield at least 1.5 percentage points higher than median-yielding stocks. From these, Citi filters for companies that are also on top-tier financial footing as judged by the credit-default swaps market, specifically those with CDS spreads under 100 basis points (the lower the CDS, the lower the perceived credit risk).
The latest version of Citi's list still skews a bit toward Europe overall and comprises 61 companies with an average yield of 4.8% that Citi forecasts will grow by 5% in 2012 and 3% in 2013, and an average CDS of 62 basis points. The screen remains overweight global defensive stocks and underweight financials due to their high perceived risk per the CDS market.
But this month's list includes 21 U.S.-based companies, up significantly from 15 last month. Several companies that had fallen off last month's list, namely Exelon Corp. (EXC), Intel Corp. (INTC) and Xcel Energy (XEL), rejoined the roll call this month, while companies including Pfizer (PFE) and Progress Energy (PGN) fell off the list this time around. Other additions include DTE Energy (DTE) and Du Pont de Nemours (DD).
Herewith the latest full list of U.S. companies:

AFRICA/SIERRA LEONE - Race against time to control the outbreak of ebola
Freetown (Agenzia Fides) - In the last two weeks, the NGO Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has treated more than 70 patients with symptoms similar to those of ebola and fears a possible increase of patients in the coming weeks (see Fides 10/07/2014). Beyond medical treatment, the control of the epidemic will require the deployment of many people to train health staff on infection control measures, monitor and track cases and their contacts, to create a network for the epidemiological surveillance and to promote public health messages. Because of the limited human resources, MSF is focusing its efforts on the treatment of patients and community awareness in relation to the disease, with more than 150 local and international operators in action in the Country. The organization is concerned about the hidden cases. At the moment, the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO) is starting to reinforce the teams involved to trace the contacts. Patients must still be identified; in one village near Ngolahun (Eastern Province) almost 40 have been reported. Through the creation of centers for the treatment and unit transit near the villages affected, MSF can intervene quickly and reduce the risk of infection in local hospitals and in the community. In units of transit in Koindu and Daru, patients who show symptoms are isolated while waiting for the test results. The Zaire strain of Ebola can kill up to 90%, but if the infected people receive treatment at the first signs of the disease they are more likely to survive. Ebola creates fear in the community and people who are ill are often stigmatized. Families can be driven out of their villages and sick people are moved away and die in solitude. To reduce the fear, MSF teams provide psychological support to patients and their families. The epidemic that is spreading in West Africa has reached unprecedented levels in terms of geographical spread, number of cases and number of deaths. According to WHO data updated to 15 July, since the beginning of the epidemic, there have been 964 cases and 603 deaths in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 21/07/2014)

Sights and Sounds
July 15, 2012 12:59 AM
Approaching Target Field down Sixth Street has got to be just about the best sight in the whole city.
All the way from Hennepin (but not much beyond because the street bends) you could clearly see in the late afternoon sunshine that the ballpark had started to come to life. Continue down that stretch and you eventually emerge onto Target Plaza and get an equally breathtaking view.
Tonight's air over downtown had an interesting acoustical property, bouncing the stadium noises around and around, in the process converting them into something akin to the sound of surf. Out on the plaza, the sound was palpable evidence of the life of a city filled with baseball anticipation. I couldn't help but think that ten years ago such a sound being heard in that particular location was barely imaginable. (More on why I might think about this at the end of this post.)
As I approached on Hennepin tonight, I heard one woman turn the corner and literally gasp at the view. She let out a long, "Coooooool..." and then admitted to her friend that she hadn't actually been there yet, but needed to get there soon.
That's certainly the desired effect, especially when the team has the real potential of being buried before the top of the first inning is over on any given night.
But before we could get to that, we got to celebrate the induction of Camilo Pascual into the Twins Hall of Fame.
If you are of the Puckett/Hrbek era, or the Hunter/Radke era, or the Mauer/Morneau era, you are forgiven for not knowing anything about Pascual. Though he was a formidable pitcher during a nearly two-decade major league career, his name is one not often said with those long sighs we save for our favorite players.
Pascual came to Minneapolis with the Twins in 1961, and will forever be known as the man who threw the very first official major league pitch at old Metropolitan Stadium on April 21, 1961. He ultimately gave up a hit in that first at-bat to Marty Keough of the expansion Senators, a team Pascual would play for before the decade was out.
His biography and stats can easily be found elsewhere, so I won't belabor them here. But his level of gratitude at being inducted seemed warm and genuine, and he seems an appropriate choice for the honor.
The ceremony ended with the proverbial ceremonial first pitch, and was blessedly brief, given the conditions. At game time it was 90 degrees under a hazy blue sky, and the dew point had to be up in the 70s somewhere. It was easy to feel bad for those guys standing around Pascual in suits. Tonight was most definitely not a suit night at Target Field.
Even so, by this point in the season, we're all accustomed to the heat, and the stands were uncharacteristically full as the opening pitch was thrown. Cole De Vries got two quick outs, albeit on long fly balls, and then things deteriorated.
Despite the outing, De Vries is a good kid, and I hope he sticks with the team. He's got a very "Twins" quality about him. I can't really say that for a lot of the other anonymous arms which have come through this year. It's hard sometimes to maintain interest in a team full of people you don't know. (Though I'm certainly a fan, I'm not sure I could pick Trevor Plouffe or Brian Dozier out of a line-up. Time to get-to-know-'em again, I guess.)
Determined to again try a food I haven't yet had at the ballpark, I made my way in the bottom of the first (in sort of a dejected fashion) to the Townball Tavern. The place, which is air conditioned, but still sort of stuffy, was hopping.
I ordered a Juicy Lucy and Killebrew Root Beer, and then tried to reengage with the ballgame.
This turned out to be surprisingly difficult because A) the nearest TV was too far away, too tiny, and muted, and B) the place was just too noisy.
For the second time tonight the sound is what grabbed my attention. The Townball Tavern, in case you've never been there, is essentially a sports bar within the ballpark, full of hard surfaces designed to reflect every sound anyone makes. This is a key part of the atmosphere. And though it wasn't overly crowded, it was loud.
If you like such a place, you'll love this. But I came out two innings later with my ears literally ringing, and a sense that I needed some quiet time just to recuperate (which I then found on the mostly-empty Bud Deck).
The Juicy Lucy? Pretty good. Too much bread. Good spices and flavor. Excellent cheese. But sort of small overall, and not really worth $11. (Forget the one you had at Matt's. It's not really like that at all.) And it came with some homemade barbeque potato chips which sound better than they were. I ended up leaving 2/3 of them in the basket. With tax and tip, my bill topped $20. I won't be doing that again any time soon. (For reference, this afternoon we took the boys to the new water park just off of Como and Lexington in St. Paul. Admission was $16 for the family, and we got more snacks and beverages than we could finish for $15.)
There was a third time when the sound of the ballpark caught my attention, and that was as I passed behind the wooden-backed seats in the Legends Club. They squeak!
I'm not sure that it was every single seat, but I heard it several times as I walked along, which made me wonder again if maybe there was a reason that they stopped installing these in ballparks back in the mid-twentieth century.
(To be continued.)
Please forgive the dearth of recent posts. There are multiple reasons, most of which you probably don't care about. But there's at least one reason that I hope you will care about: I've begun the active writing phase for my own ballpark book! The schedule has it being released sometime in 2013, and it will focus on a subject not yet touched in the history of Target Field (and that's all I'm saying for now).
I've also been busy making arrangements to see two additional ballparks this year (having seen T.D. Ameritrade Park in Omaha last month). In August I will be visiting Camden Yards and Nationals Park, getting a dose of the old and the new in a single trip. I'm all ears if you want to tell me something not to miss -- especially food wise.
I've been storing up all kinds of stuff, including my report from Omaha and a report on the progress of new Siebert Field. If I can convince myself to do more short posts, those will be coming up shortly.
Thanks for continuing to make BallparkMagic one of your regular stops!

Nice report, Rick. Looking forward to the Siebert update. Drove past it a couple weeks ago...strange to see it razed already. I'm surprised by how quickly they expect it to be done.
Rick, I'll be interested in seeing how you compare/contrast Oriole Park and Nationals Park. Having used to live out there, I frequented both. They're both nice venues in very different ways. Nationals Park misses that "it" factor, though, and I think that mostly comes from its neighborhood. Development around the park withered when the ballpark opened and the economy tanked. Oriole Park -- with its short walk to the Inner Harbor -- makes the area a destination, whereas Nationals Park is more a place.
Well, I do know Nats Park broke the retro mold so to speak. It looks nothing like parks that came before it. It seems to me it has more of a circular feel to it, like the "cookie cutters" of the 70s. There are some nice touches to the park, but it just doesn't do it for me.
I know the designers of Nats Park wanted it to fit in with the "government official building look" that dominates the cit. but, out of the latest parks to dot MLB the last few years, it is one of my least faves. I will say, from an aesthetic point of view, Nats Park beats out Marlins Park by leaps and bounds.
How many first inning runs have the Twins allowed? They always seem to be playing from behind. 41 pitches for Duensing in one inning. Luke, I love your reviews of parks never visited.
Wow, our guys are serving up batting practice this weekend. I'm glad I'm not at the ballpark.
Speaking of that, I've got four tickets to Wednesday's game... Maybe I can see Thome put one onto the plaza again!
A memorable part of the pre-game ceremony for me was seeing a number of the A's players line up to get Carew's autograph, as all the HOF members came off the field near the visiting dugout.
Hey Rick - you mentioned your trip to the new Como pool. My oldest son is a lifeguard there. What do you think of the place?
From what I understand Siebert field will be built in stages since they dont have all the money they need to finish the whole thing at once. So yea the first stage is expected to be done real quick the rest I dunno but its long overdue.
Great new post Rick. Excited to hear more about your book! Good luck!
Camden - two words for food; crab cakes. Also anything from Boog's BBQ in RF is tasty. Great park; interested in reading what you think. I have not been to the Nat's Park, so that could be an interesting comparison between the two.
We loved it! A ton of fun. Great value. Crowded but never unbearable. Highly recommended.
We will definitely go again soon.

Good to hear you liked the Como pool, Rick. I was impressed that they added things like a zip line and cliff diving. If they allowed smoking and had a cocktail lounge, it would be 1976 all over again.
Seriously though, it's a great place.
I second the Boog's BBQ suggestion at Camden Yards. It was amazing and worth it to get the BIG version. I was very full after eating that sandwich.
At Nat's Park, they have Ben's Chili which was surprisingly good.
IMO - Both great parks.

Those are Twins logos. I took a picture when I was there a couple of weeks ago. I'll publish it with my next post (can't find it right this minute).

28 Deaths From Aerial Platforms by Q2 2013
There were 28 fatalities worldwide involving mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), also known as aerial work platforms (AWPs), in the first half of 2013, according to findings from IPAF's accident database.
Of these fatalities, 13 occurred in the United States, two each in France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and one each in Armenia, Canada, Ireland, Malaysia, Norway, Spain and the UAE.
While releasing these findings, IPAF also updated the 2012 preliminary results following the reporting of a previously unrecorded fatal accident in Canada in October 2012. This brings the total fatalities in 2012 to 32, instead of the 31 initially reported.
Compared with the first half of 2012, which saw 17 fatalities reported, the number of fatalities reported for the first half of 2013 has increased by about 65 percent. IPAF believes that the accident reporting project is capturing more data, not necessarily that there are more accidents. While the main causes of fatalities were fairly evenly spread in the first half of 2012, the first half of 2013 saw a rise in the number of fatalities resulting from overturn and fall from height. The fatalities in the first half of 2012 involved more booms (3b) and vehicle mounts (1b). Those in the first half of 2013 involved more booms (3b) and scissor lifts (3a).
"Findings from IPAF's rental market reports lead us to estimate that there are more than one million MEWPs in the world," says IPAF CEO Tim Whiteman. "Every fatality is one too many, but these figures show that powered access equipment remains a safe way to carry out temporary work at height."
"The accuracy of the data relies upon those using MEWPs and other interested parties to report any known fatal accidents to IPAF at www.ipaf.org/accident or to an IPAF member of staff," says IPAF technical officer Chris Wraith. "The comprehensiveness of the data cannot be guaranteed, but where appropriate, action is taken to verify the facts. The data is updated should relevant information become available."
IPAF's accident data is based on information collected in a number of ways: directly reported to the IPAF accident database at www.ipaf.org/accident, information obtained by IPAF staff worldwide, and information collated from press releases and news reports.
All manufacturers, rental companies, contractors and users are encouraged to report any known fatal and serious accidents involving mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and mast climbing work platforms (MCWPs) worldwide at the IPAF accident database. The project is open to IPAF members and non-members, and includes an option for anonymous reporting.
All data collected is confidential and none of the detail of any accident is shared with third parties or disclosed to safety authorities unless required to by legal writ. The only exception to this is that manufacturers will be given basic data if a machine manufactured by their company is involved in a fatal accident.
To register and to report an accident involving a MEWP or an MCWP, go to www.ipaf.org/accident.

After seeing the first US commercial for Super Mario Galaxy 2, we were a tad shocked to see just how expensive it looks. Nintendo must have dropped a pretty penny on this commercial. But that's nothing new when you look at history and/or YouTube. Look there and it's obvious that no matter the side of the globe the mustachioed one is marketed on, it's rarely cheap or shoddy.
Above: Here again is the fanciful Galaxy 2 ad
But instead of wasting your time searching for the best classic advertisements on YouTube, the Mario experts at GR have collected them all here for you, in this list of the best Mario commercials of all time. And if you're curious what's the worst, it should be obvious:
We never had the Donkey Kong cereal, but we can attest that the Mario/Zelda cereal really sucked. The packaging and promise of a "Cereal System" only tricked us once before we returned to Fruit Loops and Cap'n Crunch.
Quite an introduction for Wario, and we can see why the world would come to love the antihero, even though he's a full-on baddy here. Does his success mean the hypnotism worked?
After all the frou-frou, happy, "gee aren't Nintendo games fun for the whole family," adverts, it was satisfying to see them beat the crap out of each other. And the use of the classic Turtles song only made it sweeter.
Every time we see this we're filled with rage that it's 30 seconds long and not 90 minutes. Can't you just imagine how great an anime retelling of Mario 3 that looked like that would be? And it will never happen. ARGH!
Similarly, Nintendo sold Mario Kart 64 in Japan with an even more stylized anime commercial. Kind of a strange choice, considering the big selling point of Kart 64 was the 3D, pre-rendered graphics. In contrast, here's a US commercial for it:
And when it came time to sell the GBA Mario Kart, Super Circuit, Nintendo of Japan made a sequel of sorts to the 64 ad, though it wasn't as high quality.

Surveys: NH health premiums up 90%; more people insured under Obamacare
The health care research arm of the Morgan-Stanley investment firm released a survey Monday of 148 brokers from around the country, claiming to show average premium increases in excess of 11 percent in the small group market and 12 percent in the individual market, "largely due to changes under the ACA."
"The uninsured rate has been falling since the fourth quarter of 2013, after hitting an all-time high of 18 percent in the third quarter — a sign that the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as "Obamacare," appears to be accomplishing its goal of increasing the percentage of Americans with health insurance coverage," according to Gallup.
Fox News described the survey as, "independent validation for the White House, that shows the country at least is not suffering from a net loss of insurance coverage due to cancellations."
Critics of the ACA seized on the Morgan Stanley survey as another indication of its failures.
"This survey confirms that Obamacare is an unmitigated disaster that is raising the cost of health care for the middle class," NHGOP Chairman Jennifer Horn said.
Republican Scott Brown, who is planning to formally announce his candidacy on Thursday, issued this statement: "Today's study showing that insurance premiums are going up 90 percent in New Hampshire because of Obamacare is the latest sad reminder of the consequences of this broken law. This is what happens when politicians put the interests of their national party ahead of the priorities of their state and vote 99 percent of the time with President Obama. "
Voices for Health is a coalition of health care providers, labor groups and others promoting sign-ups for coverage under the new law in New Hampshire.
"And, that's before the application of savings from individual and small group premium tax credits," she said.
Danielle Kronk Barrick, director of communications for the New Hampshire Department of Insurance, said the numbers in the Morgan Stanley research, as reported by Forbes.com, are at odds with the department's data.
Factors in the ACA contributing to premium increases, according to the brokers surveyed by Morgan Stanley, include new restrictions on the factors insurance companies can use to assign premiums. The law also requires minimum benefits for plans to qualify for inclusion on the online firstname.lastname@example.com

Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- The Bovespa stock index fell for the first session in three, joining a global rout in equities, as concern about Europe's debt crisis pushed down commodity prices and damped the outlook for Brazilian producers.
Oil companies Petroleo Brasileiro SA and OGX Petroleo & Gas Participacoes SA followed crude prices lower. Fibria Celulose SA, the world's largest pulp producer, fell for the sixth day in seven. Tam SA led declines amid concerns about regulatory conditions on its sale to Chile's Lan Airlines SA.
The Bovespa fell 1.2 percent to 53,270.36 at the 4:15 p.m. New York time close. Fifty-nine stocks fell on the index while seven rose. The real weakened 1.6 percent to 1.8355 per dollar.
"The market is still waiting to see if something will be defined on Greece," said Joao Pedro Brugger, who helps oversee 70 million reais ($38.3 million) at Leme Investimentos in Florianopolis, Brazil.
Brazil's benchmark equity gauge erased an earlier gain of as much as 1.6 percent, tracking the Standard & Poor's 500 Index lower. U.S. stocks halted a three-day rally as investors watched for signs of progress in Europe's efforts to stem the government debt crisis. The Standard & Poor's GSCI index of 24 raw materials slumped 2.7 percent.
Petrobras, Brazil's state-controlled oil producer, fell 1 percent to 19.35 reais. Billionaire Eike Batista's OGX slipped 1.2 percent to 11.96 reais. Fibria lost 4.4 percent to 14.56 reais.
Tam tumbled 5.2 percent to 31.60 reais after Lan requested a review of the data that Chilean antitrust regulators used when they set conditions for its takeover of the Brazilian carrier.
Trading Volume
The Bovespa entered a bear market in July after plunging 20 percent from its bull-market peak last year on concern quickening inflation and a slowing global economy will hurt Brazil's growth. The measure has since extended that drop to 26 percent and trades at 9.2 times analysts' earnings estimates, according to weekly data compiled by Bloomberg. That matches the ratio for MSCI Inc.'s gauge of 21 developing nations' equities.
Traders moved 5.5 billion reais in stocks in Sao Paulo yesterday, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That compares to a daily average this year of 6.53 billion reais through Sept. 14, according to data from the exchange.

On Thursday, S. Meena and K. Lokesh, students at the Government Higher Secondary School in M.G.R. Nagar got to 'look into' the human heart in a singular manner. Unlike students in most other government schools who see hearts presented as flat illustrations in their textbooks, they saw one through a 3-D figure on a huge screen.
As a result of an MoU between the School Education department and an NGO, Learning Links Foundation (LLF), their school has become one of two government schools in the State where technology will drive learning in a major way.
The school has been given 11 laptops, 13 tablets, one interactive board, a projector and a wi-fi connection. However, the major advantage is the introduction of cloud computing solution, which provides the school access to a digitised version of Samacheer Kalvi syllabus for classes VI to XII in Tamil and English.
The facility at M.G.R. Nagar was inaugurated by P. Palaniappan, Minister for Higher Education on Thursday. The other school to benefit from the project is the Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Sriperumbudur. For students such as S. Gajalakshmi, who have no computer or internet at home, the school is the only place where she can access technology. "My mother is a cook and we cannot afford a computer. I am excited that I will get to handle a tablet in school," said the class X student.
Usha Bhaskar, project head, LLF said the initiative, 'Project Aasman', is being carried out by LLF with support from Dell, which has provided the hardware. "The cloud has a vast repository of teaching-learning resources. This programme will cover eight schools in the country for now," she said.
G. Shanmugavel, headmaster of the school, said the new facility offered vast opportunities. "Students can revise lessons taught in class. If the teacher is going on planned leave, she can make a recording and upload it," he said.

text: Todt says cost saving suggestions by teams are a joke 13 May, 2014 FIA president Jean Todt has labeled as "a joke" the initial cost-saving proposals put forward by Formula 1 teams. The powerful 'Strategy Group' teams vetoed Todt's plans for mandatory budget caps beginning next year, instead arguing that costs can be alternatively reduced through the sporting and technical regulations. Todt, however, said whilst attending the weekend's Spanish Grand Prix that the teams' initial proposals were "ridiculous". "We know they have budgets of between 100 and 400 million and the proposal they seem happy with is to reduce by two million," he said. "What was proposed was a joke." Todt said that his aim is to see teams' annual spend reduced in the order of 30 to 40 per cent, "We will meet all of the people again. Hopefully they are sensible people and they come up with some sensible suggestion." (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

Following the release of his solo debut, This Machine Kills Artists, the eccentric Melvins frontman embarks on a solo acoustic tour, but dont get the wrong idea. He may be a candid storyteller, exhibiting a broader sense of melody when the sludgy distortion subsides, but he hasnt gone soft. Its a daring departure, but one youd expect from him.
Late Bloomer
Saturday 10 p.m. Snug Harbor, 1228 Gordon St. $5. www.snugrock.com.
The Charlotte lo-fi indie-punk trios sophomore album, Things Change, has drawn attention from Pitchfork and Brooklyn Vegan (thanks in part to bassist Joshua Robbins and his wife Sarahs growing indie label Self Aware Records). If you miss old Dinosaur Jr. and Hüsker Dü, the groups grasp of messy, noisy punk and more expansive moodier tracks should light your fire.
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
Sunday 8 p.m. The Fillmore, 1000 NC Music Factory Blvd. $38.23. www.livenation.com.
The Grammy-winning 90s hip-hop collective, whose sense of lyrical melody and rapid-fire delivery influenced a generation of lightning-tongued lyricists, reteamed earlier this week, revealing plans for a 2015 farewell album which like Wu-Tang Clan they plan to auction off for a hefty sum.
I Am the Avalanche

A Sunny Day in Glasgow
Thursday 8 p.m. Snug Harbor, 1228 Gordon St. $5. www.snugrock.com.
The experimental art-pop sextet kicks off the four-day Recess Fest, which takes place across multiple Plaza Midwood venues. The buzzed-about underground group represents what the festival is all about, with innovative songs that often sound like blurry shoegazer compositions resting atop sweetly neurotic pop music.
Lee Bains & the Glory Fires
Thursday 9 p.m. The Milestone Club, 3400 Tuckaseegee Road. $5-$7. www.themilestoneclub.com.
Music fans would be hard-pressed to find a live band that rocks harder per dollar, and the Alabama quartets Sub Pop debut, Dereconstructed, plays less on leader Bains literate writing and soulful delivery and more on the bands raw live intensity, with soul singing and Southern rock grooves cutting through buzzing, noise-punk distortion.
