"The top-performing school systems recognize that the only way to improve outcomes is to improve instruction: learning occurs when students and teachers interact, and thus to improve learning implies improving the quality of that interaction" (McKinsey & Co., 2007, p. 26). Thus, high achieving school systems focus attention on improving instruction by developing instructional leaders, supporting classroom instructional practices, allowing time for peer collaboration, and setting realistic goals.
School and district leaders play important roles in establishing collaborative cultures aimed at analyzing and using relevant student data, examining and supporting the implementation of evidence-based practices, and monitoring program effectiveness. Although this may sound simple, establishing a collaborative culture focused on improving outcomes while simultaneously integrating support and monitoring can be challenging.
The Institute for Public School Initiatives divisions have experience working with leaders at the campus and/or district level in rural, urban, and charter settings focusing on working collaboratively to accomplish common goals.
In partnering with your school or district, The Institute will develop a customized support plan that focuses on your goal(s). The customized support plan may include organizational effectiveness, leadership, data analysis, or curriculum alignment and be specific to:
Onsite Support
- District
- School
- Vertical Alignment
Online Resources
- Intel Teach (Data and Leadership Courses)
To discuss how The Institute can assist your organization in its efforts to create change, contact Dr. Paula Moeller at email@example.com or 512-232-2559 or Dr. Daryl Michel at email@example.com or 210-380-8375.

1959-07-10 Don Jordan w pts 15 Denny Moyer, Meadows Racetrack, Portland, Oregon, USA - WORLD
1959-07-10 Don Jordan w pts 15 Denny Moyer, Meadows Racetrack, Portland, Oregon, USA - WORLD. Referee: Harry Volk. Scorecards: 144-143, 147-144, 147-143. Bidding to become the youngest ever welterweight champion, Moyer (146½) showed his inexperience when going down on points against Jordan (147) and while he put up a game performance he was often bewildered at times as left jabs, hooks and uppercuts all found their target with regularity. Moyer started fast but after staggering Jordan in the second he was made to play second fiddle as the latter moved up through the gears. There were no knockdowns and although Jordan tried hard for one in the eighth when he opened up to have Moyer holding on grimly, he had to settle for the unanimous decision in his favour.
After Charley Scott defeated Garnet Hart (w rsc 9 on 19 October at the Convention Hall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) in a battle between the two leading contenders for Jordan's title, the winner's manager telegraphed a £25,000 offer to Jordan to make a title defence but received no reply. Scott's case for a crack at the title was then put before the NBA Executive Committee.
Meanwhile, all kinds of rumours were going round about gangsters trying to buy a piece of Jordan, who took off for a couple of fights in South America. Having beaten Fernando Barreto (w pts 10 on 5 December at the Ibirapuero Stadium, Sao Paulo, Brazil), he next moved to Buenos Aires, Argentine where he was knocked out at the Luna Park Stadium by Federico Thompson inside four rounds on 12 December. Jordan, who blamed his defeat on a virus infection that had affected him for the last four months, did not mention the threats on his manager's well-being.
Back in America, Scott was twice outpointed over ten rounds at Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, NYC, New York by Benny Kid Paret, on 18 December and 29 January 1960, while Carmen Basilio was booked to challenge Jordan for the title on 10 June. However, the NBA refused to recognise a Basilio fight and threatened to strip Jordan if he didn't meet a contender named by them prior to that date.
This was followed by Jordan getting himself into trouble on a drink-drive charge and the NBA giving him a final warning that he must sign to meet Luis Rodriguez or another of their top four contenders by the end of February or be stripped. The NBA then relented and recognised a fight at Madison Square Garden between Paret and Thompson on 25 March as final eliminator, demanding that Jordan defend against the winner by the beginning of June. Following Paret and Thompson drawing over 12 rounds, the NBA gave their blessing to a Jordan defence against Paret on 27 May with the winner having to meet Thompson within 90 days.

Helpful Definition for: Beer
'Beer' is an alcoholic beverage brewed from yeast-fermented malt and flavored with hops in Roseville. Beer is one of the oldest beverages and also the third most common drink consumed across the globe. One recent survey reveals that more than a hundred billion liters of beer is sold every year throughout the world. It is generally derived from malted barley, however, rice, wheat or corns are also used. It is flavored with the flower of the hop-vine, known as Hops, which actually works as a natural preservative. You will find 4% to 6% of alcohol by volume in beer usually. The brewing (process of making beer)in Roseville can be done in breweries or at home also. The basic ingredients of beer are water, fermented malt, alcohol and hops. Pale ale, Mild ale, Wheat beer, Stout, Lambic, Lager, etc. are the few names of various types of beers. Consuming alcohol is injurious to health. However, beer reduces the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes also, as per some doctors in Roseville. It should be upto a pint per day which will be actually good for health. Adequate consumption of beer with healthy diet even helps to lose weight. Beer comprises vitamins, calcium, iron and folic acid which actually offer a 'protective' effect on the cardiovascular system of the human body.

Enter our Competition to Win a Copy of 'True Happiness'
Posted by Sophie Harris in Book News, Competitions, Non-Fiction
This competition is now closed. Thank you to our entrants. Winner(s) will be notified by email.
In advance of the publication of Dr Mark Atkinson's True Happiness we wanted to find out how happy people really are. Everyone, it appears, is interested in happiness at the moment. Even the government is, for the first time, to assess levels of happiness in a survey from the Office for National Statistics, which takes place in April this year.
Difficult economic times often make us stop and re-examine what we want from our lives and what it is that makes us happy. Perhaps the reason for this is that we realise – or are forced to realise – the transitory nature of the happiness that comes from money, status, achievements, possessions or power. It's hardly surprising then that people are looking for lasting, true happiness; that deep sense of inner well-being that doesn't dissipate in the face of life's inevitable challenges.
If you have already taken the time to complete our survey on happiness, thank you (if you have not already done so please click here to complete the survey on surveymonkey.com).
For your chance to win a copy of True Happiness, see our competition entry details below.
To be in with a chance to win a copy of Dr Mark Atkinson's True Happiness please enter your name, email address and a description of something that helps to make you happy, in the box below.
Good luck!

Out of this world - celebrating the magic of World Book Day across Bath
Posted: March 13, 2014|
Children across Bath and the surrounding area have been dressing up as their favourite literary characters to celebrate World Book Day.
At Corsham Primary all 610 pupils and every member of staff came to school in costume and enjoyed a day packed with fun reading activities and prizes for the best dressed.
Literacy co-ordinator Kerry Parker said: "It was a fantastic day.
"The children were wholeheartedly involved and were responsible for all of the activities running so smoothly.
"All the teachers created a variety of activities. There was a great sense of proactivity from everyone involved."
The Paragon School saw Pippi Longstocking, Flat Stanley, an Oompa Loompa amongst its characters, with communications officer Charlotte Thursz calling it a "fantastic effort", while there was lots of costumes at Bath Community Academy too.
At St Julian's Primary, in Wellow, the children took part in story swaps, author reviews and story writing. Head teacher Jane Gascoigne said: "I'm delighted that so many children had made such a wonderful effort to take part in the day and opportunities like this really inspire a love of reading at our school."
Miles House Day Nursery, in Bath, celebrated the event with a literature treasure hunt and youngsters, dressed as fictional characters, were treated to a special storytime session with local author Eric James.
Manager Shabana Mall said: "Story-telling is an important part of all activity at Miles House and goes way beyond encouraging a love of reading and books.
"It is a vital tool in enhancing self-esteem and confidence in young children while nurturing imagination and creativity. It is also a lot of fun."
Peasedown St John Primary had a visit from children's author Christina Gabbitas, who signed copies of her book Felicity Fly and talked to the youngsters about poetry.
Her visit came about because a grandmother at the school won it in a charity auction.
Librarian Gill Trueman said: "Christina was taken from class to class, seeing all our Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children. She read her stories with each character having a different accent, sung a song and answered questions from the children."
Children dressed up at Bathwick St Mary Primary and had an hour with author Anna Wilson, who talked about her book Monkey Madness.
Pupils at King Edward's Junior School became published authors as part of their World Book Day events, with everyone contributing a story that was included in the publication Knock Your Socks Off!
Even the cover illustration, drawn by Fleur Smailes in Year 6, was an example of the children's work.
Children's author Kim Donovan and teacher Elizabeth MacFarlan co-ordinated the project.
Ms MacFarlan said: "The process of producing and publishing Knock Your Socks Off! has definitely made the children enthusiastic about books. They can't wait to see their own writing in print and to read their friends' stories."
Knock Your Socks Off! is available to buy from Bath bookshops and on Amazon.
At Widcombe Junior School the children had a comic-themed World Book Day, where pupils and staff dressed up as their favourite characters.These included the Smurfs, Where's Wally, Alice in Wonderland, Horrible Histories and even the wardrobe from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.Year 6 pupil Henry also have an assembly about how to make comics, telling his classmates about the 70 he has made over the past six years.There was also a visit from illustrator Hannah Broadway.

The terms of reference fall short of what the Greens wanted by not directly addressing the high levels of media concentration and how that skews political debate and the provision of a broad range of news and current affairs, especially in regions where there is a single owner and very little local journalism.
It is symptomatic of the fear and power of News Ltd in Australia that the word "ownership" could not be used in the terms of reference. A poll conducted by Essential Media for independent lobby group NewsStand (of which I am a board member) found that 70 per cent of Australians believe there are too few media owners in Australia. The Gillard Government, which has copped an unrelenting hammering from News Ltd on the carbon tax, understands the problem but is still trying to negotiate a path that allows for some action without encouraging accusations that it is trying to shut down media scrutiny.
Some feared the terms of reference would simply focus on respect for privacy and strengthening of complaints procedures. In fact, the terms of inquiry are much broader than that. Once you start talking about failing business models and diversity, it's hard not to talk about the fact that one company owns 70 per cent of newspapers and a big share of the online market.
Here are some points for each terms of reference. We welcome your comments and discussion below.
A panel will be appointed to inquire on the follow issues:
a) The effectiveness of the current media codes of practice in Australia, particularly in light of technological change that is leading to the migration of print media to digital and online platforms;
If evidence is produced that codes of practice are failing to produce fair reporting on a regular basis, this suggests system failure. If so, what is causing this? Is it worse in some parts of the print and online media than others? One investigation showed that up to 65 per cent of the content of some newspapers was driven by PR, which suggests that through lack of resources and corporate pressure, codes of practice that set out principles for reporting are failing on a daily basis. Why? What can be done?
b) The impact of this technological change on the business model that has supported the investment by traditional media organisations in quality journalism and the production of news, and how such activities can be supported, and diversity enhanced, in the changed media environment;
If it can be shown that the financial fragility and cutbacks in corporate media are threatening quality reporting, this term allows for public policies to be developed that look at how diversity and public interest journalism can be supported. This is especially important in regional Australia, where some towns now get very little critical reporting on local issues.
c) Ways of substantially strengthening the independence and effectiveness of the Australian Press Council, including in relation to on-line publications, and with particular reference to the handling of complaints;
The Press Council or something to replace it needs to be across the media and be independent of both corporate and government interests. It needs to be proactive in protecting freedom of expression and independent journalism. At the moment the Press Council strenuously avoids speaking out about how concentration of ownership limits access to information and ideas. Since it is mainly funded by owners, it is scarcely surprising that It tends to favour media policies that favour media owners. Independence is needed so the Council can address abuses of private power as well as government power.
d) Any related issues pertaining to the ability of the media to operate according to regulations and codes of practice, and in the public interest.
This reference allows for any other matter to be raised which prevents the media from operating in the public interest. If one company dominates and uses their power to relentlessly campaign in favour of their preferred policies, it could well fail any reasonable view of public interest. What better evidence could you find of this than the story told in today's Australian Financial Review about how the Daily Telegraph and the Coalition cooked up some negative news on the carbon tax.
The panel will be required to provide a report to Government by 28 February 2012.
This inquiry is going to be quick and the onus will be on those who think there are structural problems to demonstrate them with empirical evidence. A lot will depend on the head of the inquiry, Ray Finkelstein QC, who is a former Justice of the Federal Court. The powers of the inquiry are very weak but Finkelstein has a reputation for independence and standing up to white collar criminals, so that would seem to be a good start.
At the end of the day, an inquiry is just that. Even if it comes up with good policies, pressure will be needed to enact or fund them. Whatever happens, we need to find ways to sustain independent quality media and back organisations that provide a watchdog on corporate media power.

'It is symptomatic of the fear and power of News Ltd in Australia that the word "ownership" could not be used in the terms of reference,' says Wendy.
This sentence shows what a farce this inquiry will be. That Governments of either persuasion are frightened of Murdoch has been a problem in Australia for a long time, a problem that must be fixed!
When are politicians going to have the 'cojones' to stand up to this psychopathic creature who wields far too much power in Australia and many other places in the world.
Murdoch champions capitalism, imperialism and endless war to say nothing about the brutality of Israel.
Boycott the Murdoch Empire if you want peace!

i think it is sad that the focus regarding the media (particularly from media practitioners) is on diversity and freedom of the media. Diversity would only be important if citizens read more than newspaper to get a full picture, but if the Daily Telegraph is biased it doesn't matter if there are other voices out there if they are not listened to. Surely what we should be focussed on is limiting the freedom of the media and hold them responsible for being truthful and unbiased. There should be a three strikes and you're out rule that applies to every TV station, newspaper and shock jock on factual reporting. The model would be the finance industry who don't enjoy freedom of expression as they are held responsible for all advice given.
I realise we live in a post-modernist world that thinks that there is no truth but this patent rubbish. The three strikes rule should also apply to bias. If it can be shown that a reporter has not treated both sides of politics with the same measure, if they treated similar circumstances dissimilarly, they're out
Posted Thursday, September 15, 2011 - 14:54
There's no point getting in a tizzy because surely everyone knows (thank you, 'Yes Minister') that no sensible government sets up an inquiry unless it is sure of the outcome.
Whoops! Perhaps 'sensible' gives it away.

If News Ltd was as bad as people say, they wouldn't have 70% of the market. You've got to give people more credit.

Dear Wendy,
Great story. I've gone to the website about the terms of reference and am disappointed that there will be no scrutiny of SBS TV or the ABC.
I know of many people, namely in the Macedonian community, who in particular would be willing to make submissions to any future parliamentary or Royal Commission of enquiry/inquiry about the inadequacies of SBS TV: political interference from foreign interests, poor coverage of local issues, mismanagement etc etc.
Please keep up the good work.

David Grayling astounds - a post that doesn't mention the evil empire of the USofA - Murdoch must be a surrogate.
And Homer makes a valid point - News Ltd. owns around 40% of the print titles and has 70% of the circulation - how is that?
I suppose, according to the leftie critics, it is because its readers are all non-thinking, ill educated drongoes who can't help their base instincts

This is another piece of commentary on NM today which wrongly states the degree of News Limited ownership/control of Australian newspapers. The figures are as follows - News Limited controls a 70 per cent share of the paid circulations of the five capital city markets of Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, including The Australian. It owns 60 per cent of all newspapers sold in Australia, and 32 per cent (owned fully or partly) of newspaper titles printed at least weekly. It also receives 48 per cent of national print revenue and 61 per cent of the population aged 14 or older reads a News Limited paper each week - all according to Roy Morgan Research figures.

listohan, there were/are alternatives but these have faltered due to bad management and being out competed by News. Not to mention News' lobbying and political skills. This will change when Rupert retires.

Redact, one day, perhaps in five or ten years, you may be facing a year in jail for not hanging a Stars and Stripes flag from your residence.
You may ask yourself...what was that fellow's name...David something? You may say to yourself...he tried to warn us, he said America was the enemy of the free world.
Enjoy your year in a cage, Redact!
Mark Day, obviously you are a Murdoch-apologist. That 61% of humans read a Murdoch paper each week should be made a crime against intelligence!

Lindsaea are small dainty ferns that are easily overlooked. Three species are indigenous to New Zealand. Recent DNA-based research (Lehtonen et al. 2010) implies that each got here independently; i.e., there were three separate dispersal events. This is because the three species in New Zealand are each more closely related to an overseas species than… Read more »

Identifying Asplenium hookerianum in Victoria
From our search in Victoria's Alpine National Park, we suspect the rare Asplenium hookerianum (Hooker's spleenwort) is actually much more common there than previously recognised. But more searching is needed to confirm this. Searching for Asplenium hookerianum in Victoria's Alpine National Park.

Baby ferns
A spot in my garden is being colonised by baby ferns. The toppling of a gum tree last year created bare ground. After a few months, this has now been smothered by little ferns, the biggest only a few cm long. Baby ferns are difficult to identify, but I suspect these are water fern (Histiopteris… Read more »

Desert ferns
I'm just back from holiday in central Australia, near Alice Springs. Even though it was holiday, I was still plant-spotting. (I could hardly walk around with my eyes closed, could I?)

Is your hen and chickens fern a fake?
Are you growing a hen & chickens fern at home? If so, chances are it's a fake, unless you dug it out of the bush. Hen & chickens ferns get their common name from their production of bulbils, or vegetative outgrowths, on the upperside of their fronds. These bulbils are the 'chickens' and the fronds… Read more »
The false hen and chickens fern
Most hen & chickens ferns in cultivation are the false hen & chickens fern, Asplenium ×lucrosum, rather than Asplenium bulbiferum. The two are easily distinguished. Asplenium ×lucrosum is a sterile hybrid between Asplenium bulbiferum and Asplenium dimorphum. The "×" preceding "lucrosum" indicates it is a hybrid. The two parent species – Asplenium bulbiferum and Asplenium… Read more »

MizCheevus: Symphony guild meets for 1st time in season
The first Abilene Philharmonic Guild meeting of the season was Monday in the home of Dana Endsley, the group's new president. It was her pleasure to introduce the grande dame for the Philharmonic Gold Medallion Ball scheduled for Feb. 2, 2013.
That prestigious and honorable lady is former Abilenian Dian Graves Stai, and she will be accompanied by her husband, Harlan Stai, as Noble Gold.
Guests enjoyed a Southern- style luncheon served by hostesses Michelle Allen, Amanda Bourland, Shannie Cunningham and Sherry Anderson.
On Grandparent's Day last Sunday at Buffalo Gap Historic Village, a grand could get in free if accompanied by the grandchild — lots of crafts were going on in the ol' schoolhouse.
The Bible Department, chaired by Anna Beth Waller, of the Abilene Woman's Club last week presented: Bible Study at 10:45 a.m. — Dr. Bob Monk, retired professor from Mc-Murry University, presented his last study program on the Apocrypha; the program for the regular Friday luncheon featured Meredith Stone, Women in Ministry specialist for the Baptist General Convention of Texas, who discussed "Perspectives of Sarah."
Luncheon hostesses were JoAnn Peterson, chairwoman; Laverne Boynton; Carol Newberry; and Margaret Basquette.
Los Aficionados held a Sept. 4 meeting at The Grace. Kathryn Mitchell, former art director at the Old Jail Art Museum at Albany, was introduced as education director of The Grace. A good crowd was present to hear historian Jay Moore give a history of The Grace Museum.
New member Mary Haan reported a "first" with her "Five PM" painting in the Creative Arts exhibit. Met new member Anita Broxson, who will participate in the new School of Nursing program at Abilene Christian University. Among visitors was Diane Taylor, a manager of Casa Authentique. Hostesses were Mary Pizzorno, chairwoman; Joann Allen; Margaret Basquette; Nancy Jones; Beverly Vaughn; and Peggy Garrett.
Noticeable: Margaret Basquette should get an award for hostessing (and other things).
The 2012 West Texas Book Festival, presented by Friends of the Abilene Public Library and the Abilene Reporter-News, is coming Sept. 18-22. The festival is co-chaired by Glenn Dromgoole and Rhonda Bolt. Among the events: a preview party and authors reception at the NCCIL; brown bag programs at the Abilene Public Library; a Culinary Cuisine Luncheon at Texas State Technical College Culinary Institute downtown ; and a Books & Boots Luncheon at the Abilene Civic Center. You need a program for details. Visit www.abilenetx.com/apl/ bookfest.html.
The Abilene Country Club had activity Friday evening: Judy Colvin was sharing her birthday with Crystal Yates and Jim and Nancy Cantrell. Actually, Judy has just returned from cruising around with former Abilenians Michael and Terri Burke when they went to Russia, Sweden, Holland, Denmark ... and then MizC's pen stopped writing.
Russell and Lois Haynes were enjoying dinner after getting home from a Las Vegas trip.
Glenn and Sue McWilliams were hosting Bill and Lindsay Minter and John and Lauren Clark.
Having dinner: Gwen Kaiser, Joann Adcock and Marsha Dyer, former Abilenian, who was here from San Saba.
MizCheevus was visiting with Janet Payne, who had been on a long motorcycle fling with her friend Gary Hendrix — they traversed six states and experienced the hottest of weather and the coolest of people.
Labor Day is a historical time when some recall its original meaning; more often it is spent in family visiting, hunting, etc. MizCheevus had a nice visit from son John and Kayren Mingus of Houston, who accompanied her to the Ackers and Andrews Ranch, 17 miles outside Abilene. They saw Gary and Terri Ackers; Brandon and Abby Ackers; Suzanne Ackers and daughters Abigail and Madeline (Glen was unable to attend because of sound engineering for a movie); John and Suzanne Stowe; Ray and Nancy Dent.
Also saw Bill (he has an easy birthday to remember: Sept. 3) and Linda Andrews; son Michael and Sara with children Justin and Mia; daughter Tiffany and Jason James with son Andrew James.
We keep hearing good comments about the play "Legally Blonde" at Mc-Murry University. Follow- up: Jess Nicolls who played The Blonde is the brunette granddaughter of Charles and Betty Nelson.
She has been teaching fitness in Abilene this year, but she is planning to go to France in October to be an au pair (nanny) to the two children of a Swiss banker. Wedding bells: Christopher David Hinojosa, grandson of the late David F. Pugh, a longtime Abilene physician, and Janice R. Pugh, and son of Victor Hinojosa and Dr. Barbara Pugh Hinojosa, will marry Melissa Sheppard of Katy on Oct. 13 in Bastrop.
Christopher recently accepted a position at Harvard Medical School's Wyss Institute. He is part of a multidisciplinary research team consisting of physicians, biologists, scientists, engineers and computer experts from all over the world who are working on breakthrough innovations in the world of medicine.
Christopher and Melissa will honeymoon in Costa Rica and make their home in Cambridge, Mass., where they plan to continue their studies — Christopher in biomedical engineering and Melissa in education.

Bell Custom 500 Helmet
New Graphics and premium Carbon and Special Editions Available This March!
Throughout the 1930s, Roy Richter was racing and building cars in the small Los Angeles suburb of Bell, California. Over the years he would win a few races, his cars would win many, and in 1945 he purchased Bell Auto Parts. The following year, Swede Lindskog became the second of Roy's close friends to be killed in an auto accident. It changed everything for Bell, and everything for the business of personal safety equipment.

Today, the 500 is made with twenty-first century technologies, but it still retains all the heritage of the original. The Custom 500- "Not retro. Original."

text: Hi guy's, I'm Jim and I'm an alcho uuhh I mean I'm a newbie. I found your site a month or so ago while looking for a kegerator and found it invaluable too me. Since then I found a good used fridge converted to a kegerator and picked it up for $75 with everything including a 20# Co2 tank nearly full. A few days after installing my first 1/2 keg of Labatt blue the fridge started too warm up. It (the keg, tap,etc) worked perfectly till that point. I thought my great deal wasn't so great. I discovered the compressor starter burnt up and installed a new stronger aftermarket one and volia, cold beer again! While the fridge & keg got warm my pressure ran from 10 to 15 psi. I live at 700' above sea level. The foam was unreal! now my nearly full 1/2 keg seems to be flat. It taste fine so far just flat. I saw some threads re; recarbonating but as I was not a member couldn't get at the info and don't know if the beer is still usable or not. I don't want to waste $70 worth of beer if I can help it. Does anyone out there know if and what I can do? As I have read threads I can tell you that I don't own a thermometer to dip in my mug o' beer or anything else many threads say I may need for one thing or another. The beer was and now is cold, It poured well till the fridge got warm and now it is flat. Is it rose food now or can it be fixed? Thank you all in advance, Jim

They came from all around the world to play a two-hour show.
Members of the former string ensemble, Team Fiddle, held a reunion concert Sunday at St. Paul United Methodist Church.
The group, which performed from 2001 to June, 2011, reunited instrumentalists from as far away as China for a one-time-only performance. Musicians came from Boston, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio and throughout Michigan.
"It's pretty exciting to get to see this much talent together," said former director Robin Bloomberg.
Team Fiddle originated in the Monroe woman's living room sometime in 2001. Many of the performers were active in the Monroe Youth Orchestra program and represented a variety of schools from around the county.
When Mrs. Bloomberg's son, Daniel, graduated high school, the group went their separate ways until Sunday when nearly 30 performers played more than 35 songs.
Among the songs played were waltzes, jigs, and even the song "Dead Skunk."
A handful of vocalists performed with the accompaniment of the musicians, which featured a variety of instruments, including violins, flute, guitar, bass, cello, piano and more.
After the performance, Sonya Mandeville, who played three instruments and sang a few solos, said she enjoyed reuniting with members of her "family."
"It's been so long since our last performance and I haven't seen some of these people in a really long time," said Ms. Mandeville, 20. A junior at Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio, Ms. Mandeville is studying musical theater with a minor in violin. She took private lessons from Mrs. Bloomberg beginning in the fourth grade, though she started playing music in second grade.
Mrs. Bloomberg invited Ms. Mandeville to join Team Fiddle and so she did.
"I'd love to do (a reunion) again, but I don't know if that will happen," she said. "So many people are not in town anymore and have their own families, so I don't know that we can do this again."
Zach Bruck of Monroe, who plays violin, said the reunion concert was fun.
"I got to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a while," he said.
The performance was successful even though the group practiced only once Saturday.
"It's a great opportunity for our families and friends to see us perform again," Mr. Bruck said. "I think we brought a few tears to the audience, so you know you've done your job if you see a few tears."
During the second act of the show, Team Fiddle collected money for the Fine Arts Music Scholarship Fund. About $500 was collected, which will provide scholarships for Monroe County musical students.

Okay, I know I'm super lame, but I really want a thirteenth post! I told my husband I'd be done in 20 minutes, and I only have 5 left after publishing my last post and trying to figure this one out. I decided to do a quick survey thingy. (I found it here. It's really 100 questions, but I'll just stick to the first 10.)
1. Red rose or white? I'd say red. I love the color red.
2. Salt or pepper? I do love me some pepper. But I probably don't realize how bland most food would taste without salt. That's a tough choice! I guess pepper.
3. Pink or blue? Pink. I'm girly. I love blue, though. My favorite Crayola crayon will always be cerulean. (Shout out to Lindsy!)
4. Hamburgers or hot dogs? Hamburgers! I must admit that I love hamburgers. With ketchup and mustard and onions...mmm. And sometimes cheese!
5. Music or moves? Music. I listen to music a lot more than I watch movies. Plus, Rebecca Black's yet to have a movie cameo, as far as I know.
6. Comedy or horror? No contest, as I love comedy and loathe horror.
7. Action or adventure? Adventure. I get bored during action scenes. I figure my husband's -- oops! -- Colin's rapt attention can make up for my lack of interest.
8. Summer or winter? Seriously, too easy. Summer all the way.
9. Sun or stars? Gee, I hate to tell you, but...I get what you're asking, though. I'll take the sun, since none of the other stars make Earth an inhabitable planet.
10. Hott or cute? (Um, yeah, with 2 T's.) Annnnd it becomes totally obvious that I'm at least 13 years older than anyone else who has ever taken this survey. I guess I'd have to say cute, as I find supposedly "hott" guys to be off-putting at times.
I'm really going to try to be a better blogger this week! Please say a prayer that Elise's teeth give her (and her parents) a break! :)

You are too fun!! (Or should I say, you are so funnnnn :):):) ?)
Cerulean FTW!ReplyDelete
I'm a definitely salt. Sometimes I add pepper because I know you are supposed to. And those little black specks make food look sooo gourmet. Is pepper actually supposed to taste like something? ;)
I hamburgered out earlier this summer, I think. Normally I don't have a preference, but Cam and I have been rocking the hot dogs almost every day for lunch this week. (And last...oh yeah. We're on a health kick.)
Yay, you did it! :D

Archive for the 'Dunbar-Kapple trailer' tag
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1952 Willys M38
We've all no doubt seen military Jeeps loaded down with accessories at car shows. The netting, the shovels, the jerry cans, the machine gun on a pedestal – they're like Pokemon, you gotta collect 'em all. The ultimate accessory for a military Jeep, then, would be a trailer to put it all in, such as the Dunbar-Kapple lockable trailer behind this 1952 Willys M38 for sale on Hemmings.com. From the seller's description:
This Korean War Jeep in olive drab over tan canvas was made to drive underwater, has only 13,900 actual miles, and is the last year for flat hood and fenders. The flat four-cylinder engine has had a new fuel pump, spark plugs, throttle cable, gas tank and carburetor. The transmission is three-speed with hi/lo and 2/4-wheel drive. There are four drum brakes. There are two 12-volt batteries with the radio on a 24-volt system.
There are cat eyes on the front, a parade siren (disconnected), stock fire extinguisher with bracket, first aid kit, front rope, collapsible water bucket, jack and handle, tire pressure gauge, tools under passenger seat, and the stock shovel and axe (Pioneer Tools) affixed to the side. The mounted 9' radio whip antenna has stock retainer that is rare and hard to find. The seats are original with redone canvas covers. All four tires are in excellent condition, and the spare is unused. There is a summer canvas top and a winter top with doors. The top is a little rough and may be used as a template for a new one. There is a 5-gallon external fuel can on the back.
The working radio is an AN-VRC-10 with power supply and canvas cover. It also has a 50-foot mast antenna. There is an aftermarket Lunette universal hitch for the trailer.

When Osmar Persisco was approached by two armed robbers who demanded his car keys, he resisted and a bullet grazed his forehead when the would-be thieves opened fire on him. His dog, Max, was with him and leaped into action when he saw the blood.
One of the robbers ran, but Max caught the other one and attacked him. The thug shot Max three times, then also got away. Persisco credits Max with saving his life and is happy to report that he and Max should each make a full recovery.

About one in three people in the United States are living with painful arthritis. The YWCA Green Bay-De Pere is teaming up with the Arthritis Foundation of Wisconsin for "Jingle in the Water." It's a fundraiser to help sufferers find relief.
Ellen DeKeyser is one of those people who deals with discomfort on a daily basis. The drugs she took to win her battle with breast cancer ended up triggering arthritis throughout her entire body.
"Every joint that you could name in the human body is where I'm feeling it," said DeKeyser.
Ellen began taking warm water aquatic classes at the YWCA in downtown Green Bay and immediately started feeling better.
"The water has been a real lifesaver for me," she said. "I'm able to run and jump. Things that I can't do on land."
Her condition improved so dramatically that she decided to become and instructor to help other arthritis sufferers.
"I'm seeing some wonderful things happen to some wonderful women."
One of those women is Joanne Albers of De Pere.
"I've seen weight loss for one thing, and my joints are much better," said Albers.
"They'll come back to class after being with us a couple weeks and say, 'Wow my knees didn't hurt this morning when I got out of bed. I made it down the steps' and to be part of that for somebody and help them make a difference in their life, I want to be able to expand that," said Stacey Swaer, YWCA Health and Wellness Coordinator.
The YWCA is expanding their program by holding "Jingle in the Water." It's a fundraiser for the Arthritis Foundation in Wisconsin.
"We are a volunteer driven organization and without partnerships like the YWCA, we would never be able to get our programs and services out to the people that we serve," explained Laura Liebert, District Director for the Arthritis Foundation's Upper Midwest Region.
Proceeds from "Jingle in the Water" will allow the foundation to continue searching for a cure and new treatments as well as connect sufferers with services.
"We have a camp for kids with arthritis. Over 6,000 kids in the state of Wisconsin are diagnosed right now with juvenile arthritis. We have a camp down in the Dells, Camp Mash, or make arthritis stop hurting. We have special days where we bring together the families with physician specialists to be able to ask questions," said Liebert.
Ellen DeKeyser is glad to be a part of the fundraising effort to keep the aquatics classes and other programs for arthritis sufferers going strong. She believes using the water to heal and raise money to help others regain their freedom is a win-win situation.
"(Arthritis) It's not going to get the better of me," said DeKeyser. "I feel great. I feel really great."
"Jingle in the Water" runs November 14-30.

Ghana coach explains Adomah choice for 2013 AFCON
Albert Adomah was chosen ahead of other players to give 'balance' to the Black Stars, according to assistant coach Maxwell Konadu.
The Bristol City winger has played his way into the provisional Ghana squad for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations following impressive displays for his English championship club.
Adomah's versatility and ability to help out with defensive duties according to Konadu, gave him the edge over other serious competitors for the spot.
"We observed in recent Black Stars matches that left-footed players always play on the right flank," he told Kumasi-based Angel FM.
"It started with Sulley (Muntari) then with Dede (Ayew) and now quite recently with (Christian) Atsu.
"This however poses a danger to us especially when our opponents are able to make them out and render them ineffective.
"There was therefore the need to get a natural right winger, hence the decision to bring in Adomah and (Solomon) Asante."
Konadu added: "Aside him being a winger, he is able to track back to help in defence, he is a ball-winner and scores goals.
"His performance with his club has been very good this season which further helps his case."
Adomah missed out on the spot in the Ghana team for the last Nations Cup but appears certain to make coach Akwasi Appiah's team for next year's event in South Africa.

Graduation show of the IDII in Milan, project number 7!
Talking to the Hand: an exploration into the interactive qualities of shape shifting technologies by Oren Horev, explores morphing objects and transforming interfaces. The project is driven by the thought that by changing their shape, computers and digital objects can provide the user with a clear understanding of their status, both tactilely and visually.
The first object developed to illustrate the concept is the cube-shaped InSync hard drive. It indicates the level of synchronization (percentage) with the source computer by twisting itself, misaligning its shape. The less overlap between the two file structures, the more the hard drive twists. To synchronize the drive and computer the user either clicks a button on the screen or nudges the mechanism itself to initiate the alignment.
The second object is a a sort of mouse / touch panel hybrid called Terrain of Information. Moving the touch pad controls the on-screen cursor. Simultaneously the surface of the touch pad morphs in relation to the objects and applications being pointed at. It shows hidden qualities of an object, a big or small bump, for example, represents the size of a folder, while a rhythmic movement indicates the beat of an Internet radio station.
The last prototype is the TactoPhone with an active 3D surface that animates and displays shapes (video).

People keep asking me about Interaction Ivrea being absorbed by the Domus Academy: Domus Academy will keep on using the name ﻗInteraction Design Instituteﻗ? but neither the staff (read: quality of teaching) nor the vision of the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea.
Graduation show of the IDII in Milan, project number 8.
Ana Camila Amorim's uni.me project is a mobile communication service that supports the user in the management of their social network and the definition of who, how and how much others can access to them and their information.
The main touch point of the service is the so-called "Presence Phone". Each element on the screen corresponds to a contact and its size represents the amount of communication shared between him/her and the deviceﻗs owner. Contacts are organized around tags.
Other people availability to you is visible by the color change of the bubbles. In case a contact is not on the visible area of the screen, you can search for it based on name or related tag. Several tags can be combined in order to reduce the number of results. Once you've found the contact, you can open the contextual menu where one of the options is ﻗsee detailsﻗ.
The notification of missed communication appears in a pop-up window listing the missed events by chronological order. Events are identified in relation to the current time (e.g. 5 minutes. ago).
Incoming calls will be notified in full screen with clear information: name, photo, company logo, most recent tags (personal, automatic, local and communication) and last communication event.
Text messages can be responded through the dedicated inbox on the contact detail, by adding a field on top of the previews message. Other people can be added to this message and copies of it also appear on their inboxes.
uni.me comprises of:
1. Personal card
Each user is issued with a single ﻗidentifierﻗ that responds to all of his/her digital communication needs (voice, text). When initiating communication the caller/ sender uses a single ID and a distribution engine diverts it to the most convenient device according to the calleeﻗs preferences.
Contact initiation can be done either by online invitation or card swapping. By accepting a uni.me card and approaching it to the phone, the receiver allows the link to be created. Each uni.me card has a RFID tag, that when in proximity to a NFC enabled device, validates the user in the card ownerﻗs contact list.
2. Hot spots
uni.me also allows you to communicate their level of availability to different people according to your context and willingness to be reached. This definition can be done manually or automatically by defining different profiles that are activated during specific periods of the day, or by location awareness or other day to day events. RFID tags placed in different locations (working place, home, cinema, church, etc.) allow the phone to be aware of its environment and adjust accordingly.
Graduation show of the IDII in Milan, project number 7!
Hayat Benchenaa's thesis is about the experience of moving to another country, adapting and learning about a new environment and how to make the whole process as trauma-free as possible.
The Moov service service is made of a series of elements, which can be physical products such as boxes and mail but also a website, an SMS service, and a community.
The MOOV website is a place to meet people, exchange experiences, give tips and suggestions about places. It will also provide the "mover" with all the information needed: notify that the water will be turned off this afternoon or that their electricity has been turned on in their new home, etc.
Hayat designed a range of packing tools which help make the whole moving experience more playful.
The Boxes and Packing elements of the service feature various degrees of technology:
- The no technology box is a regular moving box with holes in it to look right through and see what is inside.
- The second version of the box helps you organize your belongings by logging them into a data base or organizing them in groups. You would get a regular box and large stickers. On your personal page on the website there is an area where you can log all your belongings which is linked to this boxing method.
- the most technological boxes are using RFID tags which are stickers that come in a booklet. The stickers can mark special things such as documents, your favorite plates or anything important. Once the boxes are packed you can scan the boxes with an RFID reader that will alert you when it comes past a tag. The reader (like the Nokia 3220 model that can be fitted with a RFID shell) will inform you what the tag is linked to.
Another MOOV object is the MOOVSTAMP that helps create a database of boxes and objects. First you stamp the box or item which gives the item a number, which is linked to the computer through bluetooth. Once the item has been stamped the voice recording is activated so you can name the item and leave a message with it. The message is linked to the digital number and transferred to the database on your computer and the MOOV website. You could stamp a box and name it like this ﻗ Box 2ﻗ? then while you are packing you can keep talking into the stamp ﻗthe family photo album, the 2003 phone book, my expired passportsﻗ? this way when you look at your database you can find back the box number and what is in it. The speech to voice software will transform your messages into text, so you can look back and read it.
There are several other components of MOOV, i won't list them all but i'll end up my mentioning the "first and last meal" service, the SMS system to help you navigate your new home town and another service which takes care of the appliances and objects that you won't take with you in your new house (like a tv set that you can't take to France because it doesn't match the voltage in the UK) but could be useful to others.

Control Freaks are devices that attach to everyday objects or living thing. They can sense the movement and sound of their host and connect that feedback to a local gaming platform, translating the manipulation of the host into game play commands on the connected game platform.
When Control Freak clamps onto a host, its sensors detect movement or vibration of the host object. If the host is a door, then Control Freak can sense it opening and closing. The device augments the behavior of the host allowing it to become the controller of a game. Swinging on an office chair can control the movements of Pong paddles on the gaming screen.
Two games were developed to demonstrate the Control Freaks concept: Brain Candy & Super Safari. Both are played in front of a big screen.
In the Brain Candy game, a Control Freak device is clamped to an ordinary office chair, and the player must swing the chair from side to side in order to control the movements of the Otzi Brain Monster on-screen. Swinging the chair side to side causes the Otzi Brain Monster to move left and right
In Super Safari, the Control Freak device is clamped onto the player's hip. When the player jumps, the Boris Monster character also jumps. Boris Monster must leap over poisonous mushrooms, avoid overhanging spiders and try to capture the little green monsters in the trees.
At the bottom of the project page, there is a scenario of how the Control Freak creatures might one day imbue our daily lives with play.
Fifth project seen at the graduation show of the IDII in Milan last week.
Note to Self by Dana Gordon is a collection of objects for daily use. They invite us to focus on ourselves, without isolating us from our environment.
Scuba is an audio device that allows you to change the soundscape from the external environment to your breath. Compatible with an mp3 player, it creates a very intimate soundscape that invites you to slow down and follow your inner rythm. There are three main elements: headphones, a squeezing device and a necklace. The sound of your breathings is captured by the microphone contained in the necklace, it is then amplified and played through the headphones. A soft handheld device controls the ANR (active noise reduction) providing another level isolation according to the pressure applied on it.
The Scuba was designed to allow the redefinition of oneﻗs private space by increasing the existing inner sound to the dominant on oneﻗs mind. Squeezing the device (which was soft and felt like a plush toy) enhances the physical reaction in stressful situations and provides sense of control and dynamic sound experience. The gesture can be very discreet as the device can be hidden in your pocket, and therefore is not limited by the presence of people around you. Besides, the Scuba doesn't totally isolates you but provides a progressive experience. The action of pressing and squeezing let indeed the energy out and gives in the same time a very protective feeling, as in the child security blanket.
I was a bit puzzled by the idea before testing it but when i tried it i immediately felt the need to lower my eyes and focus on what i was feeling and hearing, the surrounding became a mere background for the experience.
The second object is a hand held mirror that can visually reflect your state of being. Called the Narciscope, it collects biofeedback data from your hand, the image reflected in the mirror sharpens or blurs depending on how relaxed and tense you are. It is composed of a 7ﻗ? LCD screen and a web camera embedded within the frame. On the handle, where the fingers are situated, there are Galvanic Skin Response biofeedback sensors.
The sharpness of your reflection in the mirror is a metaphor of the level of focus you can have towards yourself. Since looking in a mirror is a very common practice, the idea is also to consider the usage of this device as a repetitive practice. The sharpness of the image or the blur effect not only provides instant feedback on your internal state but also challenges and hopefully improves your proprioceptive skills.
The last object is the Koobeton, a private notebook with special dedicated space for the ownerﻗs secret self-expression. It can be used from the front to write down regular notes. However, as the name suggests, you can also use it backwards, from the backside of the book. The sketches, secrets and private messages on the last pages can be kept as digital files and later transferred (via Bluetooth) to a computer.
The physical page with its content can be destroyed but the message or drawing is safely and digitally kept in a safe folder on your personal computer. With time the back pages are disappearing leaving only traces of the missing documents from the book.
The back cover of the book contains a touch panel that captures the writing. Each page has a mild decoration on the corner that indicate the borders of the active space of the panel. On the right bottom corner thereﻗs a different ornamentation hinting the ﻗcheck boxﻗ that must be marked in order to save the page. Once it is done, the software (processing) is notified that it has to record a digital snapshot of the page.

Fourth project from the IDII graduation show.
Stint, by Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino, is a music sharing service that combines physical representions of links to peopleﻗs virtual music and a widget that talks to the main music application.
Each ﻗstintﻗ? represents one friend and is made of leather. By giving it to a friend, one links it to the main player, collecting the stints into a network. By pressing each one, a song from that personﻗs music collection that she has sent to you, is played. A song can be sent to a friend by holding both the stint containing that music and the one representing the friend we want to send it to.
The Stints with a richer interaction get used and worn, showing the history of a relationship. More details of this relationship can be obtained by checking the online widget. It will show the listening the origin of each song as well as who you have sent it to and how often, how long ago your friend has played a particular song. This visualization will help you choose more appropriate music for that person or to discover what their musical tastes are. Stint creates a meaningful relationship between the user, the container, the content and how they affect each other, allowing for richer and long-term relationships to exist with high-tech devices.

The Virgin Valley Water District Tuesday opted not to reimburse Ordinance III fees to those 15 Bunkerville homeowners who had not only paid the fees, but also installed the secondary water system to their homes.
Of the 15, only four remained; the other 11 have sold their properties and moved on, said VVWD General Manager Kevin Brown. The 15 did, however, use the water for the past 15 years.
Bunkerville resident and board member Rich Bowler recused himself because he was related to one of the four. ...

This is such a wide Topic, but today were going to examine WAF bypas and SQL injection What is a WAF? A WAF is a Web Application Firewall used to filter certain malicious requests and/or keywords. Is a WAF a safe way to protect my Website? Well, thats a tough question. A WAF alone will not protect your website if your code is vulnerable, but a WAF and secure coding will. A WAF should be used as a tool in your tool shed, but you should never count on a WAF to keep attackers out because most, if not all WAF's can be bypassed with the time and
brains.Today,we will take a look into how exactly to do this
SQL comments are a blessing to us SQL injectors. They allow us to bypass alot of the restrictions of Web application firewalls and to
kill certain SQL statements to execute the attackers commands while commenting out the actual legitimate query. Some comments in
2)Case Changing: Some WAF's will filter only lowercase attacks As we can see we can easily evade this by case changing:
Possible Regex filter:
3)Inline Comments: Some WAF's filter key words like /union\sselect/ig We can bypass this filter by using inline comments most of the time, More complex examples will require more advanced approach like adding SQL keywords that will further separate the two words:
Take notice of the exclamation point /*!code*/ The exclamation point executes our SQL statement.
Inline comments can be used throughout the SQL statement so if table_name or information_schema are filtered we can add more inline comments. For example, lets pretend a site filters union,where, table_name, table_schema, =, and information_schema.. These are 3 statements we need to inject our target.
For this we would:
The above code would bypass the filter. Notice we can use "like" instead of "="
Another way to use inline comemnts, when everything seems to fail you can try to through the application Firewall off by crafting a SQL statement using variables:
The above code should bypass the Union+select filters even where common inline comments didn't work itself
4)Buffer Overflow:/Unexpected input:
Alot of WAFS are written in the C language making them prone to overflow or or act differently when loaded with a bunch of data. Here is a WAF that does it's job correctly, but when given a large amount of Data allows the malicious request and response.
This bypass above works. I myself just used this against a Web site recently.
5)Replaced keywords(preg_replace and/or WAF's with the same action): Sometimes and application will remove all of a keyword. For instance, lets say we have a filter that replaces union select with whitespace. We could bypass that filter like so:
As you can see once union+select has been removed our capital UNION+SELECT takes its place successfully injecting our query:
6)Charachter encoding:
Most WAF's will decode and filter an applications input, but some WAFs only decode the input once so double encoding can bypass certain filters as the WAF will decode the input once then filter while the Application will keep decoding the SQL statement executing our code.
Examples of double encoding:
Some examples of double encoding are:
7)Putting it all together: After bypassing a few WAF's the task gets easier and easier, but here are some ways to find out how to bypass "your" targetted WAF:
7a)Breaking the SQL statement: To find out exactly whats filtered you need to break your own SQL syntax and check for keywords being filtered, seeing if the keyword is filtered alone or in the prescence of other SQL keywords. For instance, if union+select is giving you a Forbidden or a Internal Server Error, try removing Union and seeing what happens with just Select and vice-versa
7b)Verbose Errors: When breaking the SQL syntax you use the errors to guide you on just needs to be done for instance if were were injecting the broken syntax(Removed union to stop Forbidden errors):
And the error was something like:
We could gather that maybe the Word Select is being filtered out and replaced with white space. We could confirm this by injection something like:
From there we would see if we can see a Select error. If we did a few more checks will give us a the answer we need to bypass this WAF. This is just one of many ways to break down the SQL syntax. You may have to keep breaking it, while bypassing different parts.
8)Advanced Bypassing Techniques: As stated earlier once you have bypassed a few WAF's it gets easier and easier and more and more FUN:P When one finds himself running into a wall try going through all the miscreant characters to see whats allowd and whats not allowed. These characters can be: [;:{}()*&$/|<>?"'] We can use these characters to possibly craft a working SQL exploit. For instance, during a WAF bypass I was doing everything was being either filtered or replaced. I noticed that all * were being replaced with whitespace which meant no inline comments. Union+select was also
properly filtered to produce a Forbidden error. In this instance I was able to use the replaced * to craft my exploit like so:
When the * were filtered out the union+select fell right into place. Now, UNunionION+SELselectECT wasn't working because union and select were not being replaced only * was. This is a common WAF bypass. Find the replaceable character and you find the exploit:)
Some other bypasses:
As of MySQL 4.0 it is said that Uni/**/on+Sel/**/ect will not work for bypass, but if the application firewall was customized to Filter /**/ out to whitespace it will work no matter what the version.
If anyone needs any help bypassing filters after reading and trying the above tactics please pm me with the website and I will give it a go. I love this shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know this isn't an exhaustive filter bypass tutorial, but using the above methods(and your brain) will help you bypass most WAF's today.

MASSENA A herd of moose was the first to wade into icy water at noon Saturday during the annual St. Lawrence Seaway Polar Plunge at Hawkins Point Visitors Center, raising money for athletes of Special Olympics New York.
The 12-member group of federal government employees representing Border Patrol, U.S. Customs and the Food and Drug Administration calls itself the Freezin Feds and plunges into the cold water wearing funny team hats each year. This year, the members were moose, all wearing a brown hat with antlers.
Every year weve been the top fundraiser, said Lindsey Glen, a Freezin Feds team member from Malone. This year, were just under $6,000 for our team, and we start months in advance doing bake sales and can drives.
Ms. Glen makes the hats for the team each year. She said the hats started out as a last-minute joke, but the children and athletes watching on the side loved them so much that she decided to continue the tradition each year. Every year we make something different thats a little goofy and over the top, she said.
The small boat launch by the center was packed with people running into and out of the frigid water, which was about 45 degrees.
Michelle A. Mumma, Schenectady, comes up every year to help organize the plunge and coordinate the day-of activities.
As much as this is a fundraising event, its also an awareness event, and the more people we can get here, the more people can learn about Special Olympics and why its so important to support them, she said.
Ms. Mumma said there were more than 200 participants this year, doubling the number of plungers since the event began five years ago.
All of the money raised here today is to support our athletes and to buy uniforms and transportation to all of our competitions, she said. We have over 61,000 athletes in New York state and we never charge them to train or compete in Special Olympics.
The second biggest group to raise money for the cause was the North Country Insurance Professionals, or Plungers, as they called their team.
The team had free hot dogs, chili, chips, cookies and drinks for participants.
This year, our team has grown to 11 members. We started out with only three or four, said Robin A. Miller, president of the club.
Lined up on the back of one of the team members car were 11 toilet plungers.
Thats our trademark; we each plunge with a plunger every year, Ms. Miller said.

The Chinese Medicinal Herb Farm: A Cultivator's Guide to Small-Scale Organic Herb Production--Including 79 Detailed Herb Profiles, Growing Informationby Peggy Schafer
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A leading light in the field of medicinal herb cultivation, The Chinese Medicinal Herb Farm is the first cultivation guide of its kind, and presents invaluable information for growers interested in producing high-quality efficacious herbs in all climates of the US, with the historical connectedness of ancient practitioners.It has become increasingly important-especially as the market for herbal medicine continues to grow-that we transition to local and domestic medicinal cultivation. Increasingly there are concerns in regards to not only the quality but the purity of imported herbs, and wild herbs picked for medicinal purposes are ever more endangered than in past years both at home and abroad.Peg Schafer, longtime grower and teacher, guides readers with information on propagating, cultivating, and harvesting Chinese herbs, and presents fascinating new scientific data that reveal the age-old wisdom of nature and the traditional systems of Chinese medicine. Through 79 detailed herb profiles--all tested and trialed on Schafer's certified organic farm-Schafer offers easy-to-follow information, suitable for both growers and practitioners, for growing efficacious wild-simulated herbs. Also included is important information on species conservation, crop integration, and how to avoid the introduction of invasive species. Sidebars on traditional medicinal uses for each herb and delicious recipes are also featured throughout.Vegetable and CSA farmers will find this book of great interest for adding value-added crops to their repertoire, and beginner growers looking to incorporate medicinals into their gardens will find this an invaluable guide to understanding where herbal medicine comes from, and will make eating-your-medicine more accessible than ever.
Book News Annotation:
Schafer, affiliated with the Chinese Medicinal Herb Farm in Petaluma, California, co-founded the first US company to offer organic, domestically grown Chinese medicinal herbs. In this guide for Chinese medicine practitioners and organic farmers, she gives advice on organically growing and harvesting 79 medicinal herbs. Most of the herbs are used in Chinese medicine, but a few belong to the Ayurvedic tradition. The first section of the book gives background on herbal traditions, risks to the future of herbalism, and conservation and global trade in medicinal plants. This section also gives general advice on cultivation in the nursery, garden, and field, and on harvesting, drying, storing, and shipping herbs, collecting and saving seeds, and selling herbs. The book then provides profiles of 79 herbs. Each herb entry gives a plant description, advice on propagation and planting, a list of suitable plant companions, and a brief summary of medicinal uses, plus notes on field production, pests and diseases, and harvest and yield. Each entry also includes a couple of color photos of plants in the field and the roots, flowers, or other parts when processed for medicinal use.
