January 2011 Indie Next List
"I love the way that Roger Rosenblatt can squeeze so much meaning into so few words. This is a collection of ideas, discussions, and exercises that he has shared with his writing students. One of my favorites is 'in fiction you treat facts differently. You dream into them and make them works of art.' That line has lived vividly in my imagination since I read it. This is the kind of book that will change your life with a few carefully written words. Amazing!"
— Jackie Blem, Tattered Cover Bookstore, Denver, CO
For more than forty years, distinguished author Roger Rosenblatt has also been a teacher of writing, guiding students with the same intelligence and generosity he brings to the page, answering the difficult questions about what makes a story good, an essay shapely, a novel successful, and the most profound and essential question of them allwhy write?
Unless It Moves the Human Heart details one semester in Rosenblatt's "Writing Everything" class. In a series of funny, intimate conversations, a diverse group of studentsfrom Inur, a young woman whose family is from Pakistan, to Sven, an exfighter pilotgrapples with the questions and subjects most important to narrative craft. Delving into their varied lives, Rosenblatt brings readers closer to them, emotionally investing us in their failures and triumphs.
More than a how-to for writers and aspiring writers, more than a memoir of teaching, Unless It Moves the Human Heart is a deeply felt and impassioned plea for the necessity of writing in our lives. As Rosenblatt wisely reminds us, "Writing is the cure for the disease of living. Doing it may sometimes feel like an escape from the world, but at its best moments it is an act of rescue."
About the Author
Roger Rosenblatt's essays for Time and The NewsHour on PBS have won two George Polk Awards, the Peabody, and the Emmy. He is the author of six off- Broadway plays and seventeen books, including New York Times Notable Books Kayak Morning and The Boy Detective, as well as other national bestsellers Unless It Moves the Human Heart, Making Toast, Rules for Aging, and Children of War, which won the Robert F. Kennedy Book Prize and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. He has held the Briggs-Copeland appointment in the teaching of writing at Harvard, and is currently Distinguished Professor of English and Writing at Stony Brook University. He lives in Quogue, New York.
Praise For…
"Less a how-to book than a measured reflection on teaching, [Unless It Moves the Human Heart] nonetheless offers aspiring writers many concrete suggestions...And the oft-invoked words of other authors should resonate with readers and writers alike."
-Publishers Weekly
"With this slim volume, Rosenblatt offers his take on the challenges and responsibilities facing would-be writers...The informal and succinct format makes [Unless It Moves the Human Heart] a fast read but not a simple one...an artful take on the writing life."
-Library Journal
"Roger Rosenblatt is the teacher you always wished you had... Adept and inventive, Rosenblatt encourages his students to write with moderation but think with grandiosity…Having skillfully addressed matters of style, he ends by eloquently approaching the spirit."
-Boston Globe
"Unless It Moves the Human Heart is right up there with Natalie Goldberg's "Writing Down the Bones," although less Zen, and Anne Lamott's "Bird by Bird," although less confessional... The book is filled with humor and practical advice…"
-Washington Post
"There is much to love and ponder within these passionate pages."

Murrysville police arrest 1 when heroin found in car
Murrysville Police are trying to determine the intended destination of 10 bricks of heroin confiscated on Sunday afternoon from an idling car parked in a busy shopping plaza with the driver slumped over the steering wheel.
Officer Daniel Cox arrested the driver, Gregory L. Freeman, 53, of Wilkinsburg, on multiple drug charges, including possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia after the heroin, with a street value of $5,000, was detected by K-9 officer Argos.
Police were summoned to the Walnut Hollow Shopping Plaza along Route 22 after bystanders saw Freeman slumped in a late-model Dodge Charger shortly before 2 p.m.
When Cox arrived, along with Murrysville Medic One ambulance, numerous bystanders were around the vehicle and "pointing inside at the driver," he reported in an affidavit of probable cause filed before District Judge Charles Conway.
When emergency personnel awakened Freeman, he "did not know where he was at when he was trying to explain his location," Cox wrote. "Freeman was nervous and was stuttering when I asked him questions."
Freeman appeared to be under the influence of a narcotic, but he denied taking any medications or drugs before pulling off the busy highway and into the shopping center, police said.
Freeman told police he had stopped to eat at the nearby Five Guys restaurant and again denied taking any drugs.
When Cox asked for identification, Freeman opened the vehicle's center console.
Instead of providing rental papers for the vehicle and personal identification, Freeman handed over criminal "probation papers for another individual," the affidavit said.
When Freeman reached to retrieve rental papers from the glove box, he appeared to "be attempting to conceal an item," Cox wrote.
Cox contacted Sgt. Scott Ketteren and his K9 partner, Argos.
Argos indicated there were drugs in the glove box, which officers then found, wrapped inside a plastic grocery store bag.
"It is a very large amount. It wasn't labelled 'Theraflu,' " a lethal form of heroin mixed with fentanyl that has killed at least 22 people in Western Pennsylvania, police Chief Thomas Seefeld.
The deadly heroin also has been marked with the names "Bud Ice" and "Income Tax," authorities said.
"We don't want to release how it was labeled right now because of the ongoing investigation, but it was sent to the lab for testing. We're not quite sure yet where it was headed; that is part of the ongoing investigation too," Seefeld said.
Freeman was held in the Westmoreland County Prison Monday after failing to post $10,000 bond.
A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Feb. 18 before Conway.

PHILADELPHIA People who have never smoked but whose cells cannot efficiently repair environmental insults to DNA are at higher risk of developing lung cancer than those with effective genomic repair capability, according to researchers from the Department of Epidemiology at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.
"About 15 percent of lung cancers occur in lifetime never smokers. Risk factors for lung cancer in people who have never smoked are poorly understood, but this study demonstrates that poor DNA repair capacity is an important predictor of lung cancer risk in never smokers," said the study's lead author, Olga Gorlova, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology.
In the June issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, the researchers say that, overall, nonsmokers with suboptimal DNA repair capacity (DRC) are almost twice as likely to develop lung cancer, compared with nonsmokers with normal DRC. Study participants with the lowest ability to repair their DNA had a more than a threefold increased risk, compared with individuals with efficient DRC.
Secondhand smoke exposure is another established risk factor; in participants with inefficient DRC who also reported such exposure, the risk of lung cancer was almost fourfold.
Although the research team has not pinpointed the gene or genes that cause suboptimal DRC, their data suggest that the trait is heritable to some degree. Notably they found that first-degree relatives of those with lowest DRC were 2.5 times more likely to develop lung cancer than were first-degree relatives of people with efficient DRC.
"Our findings demonstrate that suboptimal DNA repair capacity together with secondhand smoke exposure are strong lung cancer risk factors in lifetime never smokers," Gorlova said.
This is the first study that has looked at functional DNA rep

The Indonesia portfolio evaluation covered WFP operations during 2009-2013, and the 2011-2015 Country Strategy Document.
WFP made important strategic choices, highly relevant to Indonesia's humanitarian and development needs and increasingly aligning with the changing national agenda and policies.
The central challenge in adjusting operations to match strategy was to move from procuring and distributing food to supporting national capacity development and using prototypes to link small-scale field implementation, through advocacy, to large-scale adoption. With rapid budget reductions and insufficient technical and capacity development effort, the portfolio showed varied and overall limited effectiveness in the period evaluated.

Brief profile of Nusa Tenggara Barat Province, Indonesia and a glance of WFP Indonesia programmes within the province
11 April 2013
The new WFP's Country Programme 2012-2015 reflects Indonesia's dynamic transfor-mation from low income to middle income status and challenges of ensuring that the poorest and most vulnerable people escape the cycle of hunger and under-nutrition as the country progresses economically.
16 November 2012
The World Food Programme works with governments across Asia to design and manage large-scale, innovative programmes, focused on those who need them most. These programmes are often called 'safety nets' – projects designed to protect the most vulnerable at critical times, and so allow them to make the most of each new opportunity to improve their lives.

Otherwise I sing mostly in the car when I drive alone, when I iron the kids' clothes, in the shower and... ok, I admit: pretty much anytime, anywhere... I'm far from the best singer there is, but I sing anyway, because it makes me feel good! I also love listening to other people singing their hearts out... :)) The community on here is amazing and I've met so many wonderful singers and made truly good friends on here.

Retrieving "achieved e-mails' from To-do-ist Gmail plug
Just installed your Gmail plugin. I love the concept, but i noticed the following:
For me, keeping non-urgent out my inbox by archiving them is favorable for my workflow. But if i assign a task to an e-mail, and archive the e-mail (which will move it from my inbox to 'all messages'), i cannot later on retrieve the e-mail by clicking the task in the plug-in.
Any info/help on this?
All responses
Hello Pieter,
Thank you for your report, we'll look into this issue and see if it can be addressed.
Best regards,
Just noticed that dragging the task to my web browser navigation [Firefox] will retrieve the e-mail (also for archived).
So that can be a solution for now.
Please let me know if the issue still persists now.
Best regards,
Hi David,
It does - but now it seems the whole function of retrieving a message (inboxed or not) is not working when i click the link.
Using Firefox 25.0 here.
Maybe i do something wrong, but in my first use it did work.
Do i need to update the pluginn?
I also feel it's a fantastic idea. I am using chrome. When I click the task link I created with the plug in, it doesn't go back to the original mail. I just have a blank page. I also can't see any way of giving the task a title from inside gmail.
Please let me know what I need to do
Thanks for a great product.
Thank you for this information, we'll look into this issue again.
To change the name of the task, simply type in a new name while you see the task input field opened.
Best regards,
Hi David. Thanks for the reply. Is the task input field the url for returning to the mail in Gmail? I can put a title before it but it looks a little untidy in Todoist, though I can live with it.
I still go to a blank page instead of gmail with the todoist app in the bottom right corner when I click the task link I created with the plug in .
When you click on a task, but not directly on the name, but anywhere else within the task's line, a field will open with the name of the task representing the mail's subject line - this is the text that you can change or edit freely. Try to add some text after it and you'll see how it works.
As for the other issue - we're looking into it, sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards,

ABSTRACT: At a minimum, research can indirectly affect the practice of school psychology.In the area of classroom management, practitioners perceive a lack of skills and a need for relevant research while researchers have created a large knowledge base around classroom interventions. However, practitioners and researchers need to fully understand the literature that is relevant to selection of target variables as they plan both research and classroom intervention activities. Measurement problems with such outcome variables as student on-task, classroom disruption,and academic performance are examined as they relate to understanding the interrelationships among these common intervention targets. The literature related to functional relationships among these variables provides some general conclusions, although failure of researchers to report data on classroom ecologies prevents firm conclusions. Implications for helping teachers identify appropriate intervention targets are drawn from the review of literature.

Where to go for Half Time
By Brooke Lewy
Napa Valley Local Expert
There's no shortage of excellent restaurants spread throughout Napa that offer full lunch menus, sometimes with wine pairings. Dining at some of the more famous establishments midday can be a great way to enjoy your meal without crowds, or at gentler prices than at dinner time. You still get the great views and atmosphere. Redd, Auberge du Soleil, and Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen are all good choices at the higher end of the spectrum. In the middle, Redd Wood and Tra Vigne both offer perfect pizzas and the Boon Fly Cafe will probably still let you sneak at bacon bloody mary. For something lighter, quicker or more casual, La Esperanza Taco Truck is a great choice, as is Gott's Roadside, and Addendum, the 'footnote' to Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc, where you can treat yourself to delectable barbecue and perfect fried chicken on Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays. Sometimes the best way to have lunch in Napa is to pick up all the delicious pieces of a picnic--bread from the Model Bakery, charcuterie from the Fatted Calf--at the Oxbow Public Market in downtown Napa or the Oakville Grocery and eat outside at one of the vineyards while enjoying their wine and gazing out at their vines. There are a lot of options available to suit every kind of day. Whatever experience you're in the mood for, 10Best will help you decide where to make a reservation pick up those perfect picnic provisions before you hit the tasting rooms, hiking trails or mud baths.
10 Tra Vigne
Residents of sleepy St. Helena count themselves blessed to have this wildly original cathedral to Tuscan-inspired cuisine right at their doorstep. A lush garden surrounds the restaurant, and broad double doors lead to an impressive interior of exposed brick and charming seating areas flanked by fully stocked wine racks. Competition for al fresco dining reaches frenzied levels during warmer months, and scores of hopeless romantics clamor to secure a table on the seductive courtyard patio. Reservations are a must. (707-963-4444)
9 The Boon Fly Cafe - The Carneros Inn
The Boon Fly Cafe at the Carneros Inn is toward the southern end of Napa Valley, and one of the best places to start your Napa day if you're driving up from San Francisco. From the outside, the cafe looks like a faintly glowing barn, red and welcoming. On the inside, it looks more like a Nancy Meyers movie set, with just the right mix of rustic wood tables, sleek lines and delicious looking croissants. Start off with a breakfast martini (who knew there was such a thing?) or a bacon bloody mary (!!). Share a basket of their world famous donuts before tucking into their breakfast flatbread. No matter what's coming next in your day, you will be well fueled. (707-299-4870)
8 Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen
While perhaps more visitors know about chef Cindy Pawlcyn's Mustards Grill, a notable spot in its own right, Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen is the real local favorite. Tucked away off the St. Helena highway in downtown St. Helena, the staff is warm, the room is bright, and there's a bit of an insidery, speakeasy feel to the atmosphere. In addition to the Chinatown Duck Burger, regulars also love the rabbit tostada and everyone loves the Campfire Pie, like s'mores, a little bit more grown up. If you're visiting on a Wednesday or Thursday, make a reservation for the lunch or dinner supper club, where Cindy and general manager Michael Ingellis offer a menu inspired by recent travels around the globe. (7079631200)
7 Redd Wood
Tucked inside the North Block Hotel at the northern end of Yountville's main drag, Redd Wood share's the hotel's cool, industrial-chic aesthetic. Walk inside, order a prosecco and you could be in a back alley in Rome. The meatballs are the standout dish here--meltingly tender, served with a savory tomato sauce and slices of buttery, garlicky bread. The pizzas are good, too, blistery, with vibrant toppings like pickled peppers, sausage and rapini. Sit out in the courtyard and while away the afternoon taking in sun, sipping local wine and sharing pies straight out of the oven. (7072995030)
6 Redd
Stark, minimalist Redd encourages diners to focus on the Napa Valley's exquisite flavors, brought to exuberant life in chef Richard Reddington's tasting menus. Precisely prepared and elegantly plated courses delight patrons with unique preparations: caramelized diver scallops with cauliflower pur�e, and Alaskan halibut saltimbocca with prosciutto emulsion. Wines are taken seriously, and the selection balances variety while offering nods to the region's fine labels. A popular Sunday brunch brings treats like banana beignets with whipped mango cream, and a lavish breakfast pizza topped with scrambled eggs and cr�me fra�che. (707-944-2222)
5 Gott's Roadside
Selling hearty burgers, crisp fries, and creamy milkshakes for over half a century, Taylor's has continuously pleased patrons by clinging fiercely to the basics. Though the menu has expanded in recent years to include upscale eats like fried calamari and mahi mahi fish-and-chips, the simple hamburger on a toasted egg bun remains the most frequently ordered item. A secret special sauce adds zing to the affair. Brightly painted picnic tables, each topped with an enormous white umbrella, offer customers the opportunity for alfresco communal dining. (707-963-3486)
4 La Esperanza Taco Truck
This is about as real as Mexican food outside of Mexico gets. Owner Anastacio Guerra got on a bus in 1974 from Jalisco and got off in Fresno, planning simple to earn enough money to buy a motorbike and go back. His plans changed and almost forty years later, he has parked his gleaming blue and silver taco truck in downtown Napa. Some say his tacos, like the other taco trucks in the area fuel the wine business. The tacos are $2 each and simple, flaky white fish, sweet shrimp, slow simmered caren asada punched up with raw onion, cilantro and salsa and cooled off with crema and generous slices of avocado. He also sells delicious, filling tortas, burritos and puposas. ((707) 246-4908)
3 Ad Hoc
Just down the road from the French Laundry, Thomas Keller initially intended Ad Hoc to be a temporary place, just something he was trying out. It was meant to be a casual spot to serve neighbors and the staff itself. It's take on comfort food was so popular that it stuck and there was no way that they could close. The menu changes daily, and Keller's almost maniacal adherence to perfect technique carries through the preparation of food at Ad Hoc. However, when the menu here says shrimp and grits, or fried chicken, that's exactly what you'll find on your plate--just the most perfectly executed, delicious version of it. (7079442487)
2 Hog Island Oyster Company
There's nothing more luxurious than ordering a huge plate of freshly shucked oysters. At the Hog Island Oyster Company in the Oxbow Public Market, most of the oysters are from close by in Northern California's Tomales, Morro and Humboldt Bays (with some Duxbury, MA Island Creek's thrown in). Order them on ice by the half, full or two-dozen, or barbecued and Rockefeller style. They also have other zippy flavors like harissa (a local favorite) and bagna cauda. For those who prefer their mollusks cooked, there are steamers, chowder and an oyster po'boy. Seafood not your thing? Their grilled cheese is pretty awesome, too. (707.251.8113)
1 Oakville Grocery
The Napa standards for carefully sourced ingredients are in full effect at the Oakville Grocery. Open since 1881, they have refined the art of picnicking for over a century. Their shelves are filled with excellent products that skew toward the local, and their sandwiches--Fatted Calf BLT, fried chicken, citrus-cured salmon--are thoughtful and delicious. They have plenty of salads and spreads as well. The Oakville Grocery has picnic tables right there, but the store's location on the St. Helena Highway makes it not the most relaxing option. Instead, head to one of the public parks in Napa, Yountville or Calistoga, or visit one of the wineries that has a picnic permit and complement your picnic basket with a bottle of wine. Check the Napa Valley Vinters website for the most updated list. (707-944-8802)
About Brooke Lewy
Brooke moved to California for the food. After spending the last two years getting her masters in international affairs, she realized that there's nothing she loves better than bringing people together around food, and there's no place more delicious than Napa Valley. Prior to grad school, Brooke spent a year in Brazil studying Portuguese, urban agriculture, and remote beaches. She was a travel editor at Cookie magazine, has worked for a few nonprofits, and lived in Hanoi for a year, editing at Vietnam's English-language newspaper. Her writing assignments have led her to some unexpected places including hidden snake restaurants and Mike Tyson's pigeon coop in Jersey City.

There's no such thing as a routine cattle drive. Just ask the group of Sylvan Dale Ranch "adventure riders" who helped move sixty yearlings from their winter pasture back to the main ranch on Saturday, April 14, 2012.
Seven of us saddled up at 9 am, the spring sun warming our faces, the deep blue Colorado sky and crisp air thrilling our senses. We figured we'd be back by noon. We figured wrong.
As we rode toward the winter pasture, we took note of the problem areas we'd encounter on the way back: several driveways, a home with an inviting lawn, a stretch of county road with occasional cars, a highway crossing, and a steep, red-rock ridge to cross. The yearlings had made this trek in the opposite direction six months ago with their mamas. Now they would be on their own. Read more on Troubled Teen Cattle Drive…

A Pilot Project of the Colorado Conservation Exchange
By David Jessup
Can ranches and farms in the Poudre-Big Thompson watershed improve the quality of water used by Front Range urban dwellers? That question is being addressed by a pilot project at Sylvan Dale Ranch, a 3,200-acre working guest ranch located at the mouth of the Big Thompson Canyon west of Loveland, Colorado.
Owned and operated by the Jessup family since 1946, Sylvan Dale hosts family dude ranch vacations in the summer and everything from weddings to corporate events during the rest of the year. The ranch also runs a cow-calf operation that raises 60 calves per year to grow and sell as grass-fed and grass-finished natural beef directly to local consumers.
The Jessups have been concerned about runoff from manure in their cattle pens and horse pastures next to the river. Although small in amount compared to feedlot operations, the nutrient runoff reduces water quality in the river and may even contribute to recent duckweed blooms in the ranch's trout ponds below the pastures.
In 2010 the ranch invited the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to analyze the problem and suggest solutions. Three options were suggested, all of which required considerable cash outlays. As with many close-to-the-margin family ranches, such expenditures sometimes fall to the bottom of the list as equipment repairs, leaky roofs, broken water pumps and other urgent projects rise to the top.
Several organizations came forward to help. CSU's Institute for Livestock and the Environment (ILE) provided an implementation grant with a community outreach component to share lessons learned with a larger public. A group in formation at CSU's Center for Collaborative Conservation, preliminarily called the Colorado Conservation Exchange (CCEx), saw an opportunity to demonstrate how a marketplace might be created for community members to support land stewards who seek to conserve and enhance natural resources. The Big Thompson Watershed Forum (BTWF) provided technical expertise to measure nutrient runoff before and after any changes are made. Northern Water (NW) agreed to provide a Parshall flume and rain gauge for these measurements, and the City of Loveland Water Department agreed to do lab tests.
All sought an answer to this question: How many pounds of nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter can be kept out of the river by implementing a solution, and what is the most cost-effective way of doing so? All were interested creating a pilot project to serve as a model for other water quality efforts.
Wider Implications for the Watershed
By itself, the Sylvan Dale effort will have a negligible effect on overall nutrient loads in the Big Thompson River. But there are hundreds of small livestock and horse properties in the watershed that collectively have a considerable impact. Large-scale animal feeding operations are required by law to mitigate their runoff and environmental effects. Similar rules for small family operations would likely put them out of business. The CCEx hopes to implement a voluntary marketplace whereby communities, organizations, and individuals who benefit from cleaner water will provide resources for land stewards who seek to provide it. If this is done on a wide scale, the improvement in water quality could be significant. All would benefit: water users, city dwellers and family farms and ranches.

First I thought we were cattle ranchers. Then I learned we were grass ranchers (the cattle are merely a way to get the grass to the bank). Then at a 2010 Quivira Coalition conference, I found out we are really carbon ranchers, of all things.
Plants scrub the air of Carbon Dioxide during photosynthesis. Some of the carbon goes into the soil through the roots, where it gets stored in humus. Humus lasts a long time. It enriches the soil while removing excess CO2. Unfortunately, our chemical-heavy agricultural system is destroying it at a scary rate. "Don't treat soil like dirt," one speaker said.
Following the conference, Linda and I paid a visit to John Wick, a California rancher working with the Marin Carbon Project. He's all hepped up about the potential of wrangling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and storing it in soil humus. How? By spreading a thin layer of compost on his cattle pastures. He claims that a mere 2 percent increase in the carbon content of agricultural soils in his state could absorb all the annual CO2 emissions from California vehicle traffic. Oh, and by the way, the increased soil carbon makes the grass grow taller and faster.
So you can improve your pastures and help save the planet at the same time? Sounds like a bargain.
We're now trying to replicate some of his research here at Sylvan Dale Ranch. With some advice from John and carbon researcher Whendee Silver, a UC Berkeley professor, and some baseline soil samples taken by Rich Conant at Colorado State University, we spread compost on one side of our pasture in a checkerboard pattern to create a number of sample plots. CSU's Center for Collaborative Conservation helped pay for some of the compost (it's expensive!). We'll mob-graze some of these plots with our cattle herd to see if trampling hooves and manure also enhance carbon storage. Then more soil samples. Results will be posted here as they come in (not soon, I might add – soil building is a long-term process).
In the meantime, I found some riveting internet sources on carbon ranching:
- The Carbon Pilgrim. Courtney White, founder of the Quivira Coalition, writes eloquently about carbon ranching and explains the carbon cycle in a way that inspires the same goose-pimply feeling you get when contemplating the universe. White chronicles his trip to find out whether farming and ranching could play a significant role in reducing CO2 using carbon sequestration. A book is in the works.
- The Soil Solution, a five-minute film on Youtube. Sustainable World Media visits with farmers, scientists, and educators who are exploring the connection of soil fertility to water quality, food security, and carbon sequestration.
- Peter Donovan is an educator from eastern Oregon who has created a $10,000 prize for a farmer or rancher who can convert the most CO2 into soil carbon during a five year period. During his yellow school bus trip around America, he has managed to sign up fifty takers. Maybe we'll add our ranch to the list. All in favor, say "Aye."
Enjoy. This is good stuff.

Fast laps for IndyCar Rookie Legge, Two Podium Finishes for Holbrook, Top Ten for Freiberg and Season-Best Finish for Tominovich
TrueCar Racing drivers running in four different series' ran a total of seven races last weekend, with great results and solid race-over-race improvements for the all-women racing team.
IndyCar rookie, Katherine Legge raced in the Iowa Corn 250 at the high-banked ovals of the Iowa Speedway located just outside of Des Moines, Iowa. Competing in a unique qualifying heat race format, Legge qualified 19th place and moved up to 16th place after IndyCar engine-change penalties were assessed to other drivers. After a 45-minute rain delay, Legge saw the green flag.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Wall Street has shifted its financial contributions away from Democrats in this election cycle and into the coffers of Republicans with two goals in mind: to ease tougher new regulations on the financial industry and prod some priorities beyond the Capitol Hill gridlock.
"There is a lot of anger in the financial services industry directed at Democrats" because of the new rules on Wall Street, said Bert Ely, bank analyst at Ely & Co. Inc. in Alexandria, Va.
"This also increasingly looks like a wave election with a huge shift back to Republicans, and [big banks] want to make sure they're betting on a winner particularly as it gives them greater access in policy," said Ely.
Legislative observers contend the wave of funding for Republican candidates and causes reflects a desire by the financial services and real-estate sectors to put pressure on regulators to limit costs as they write hundreds of rules based on the bank reform legislation, the Dodd-Frank Act, over the next two years.
A Republican-controlled House and a more evenly split Senate, as is expected after the Nov. 2 midterm elections, will help drive the kind of pressure Wall Street wants to exert.
"There are lots of issues with Dodd-Frank that are still up in the air," said Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics in Washington, during the second quarter of 2010, the finance, insurance and real estate sector donated $28 million to congressional candidates, party committees and political action committees, with $16 million going to Republicans and $12 million going to Democrats. That's a major shift from the first quarter of 2009 when the sector pumped $15 million to Democrats and $10 million to Republicans.
The finance, insurance and real estate industry also allocated $252 million into their own lobbying efforts in 2010.
Campaign Journal: Political center disappearing?
Alan Murray and Jerry Seib discuss whether there is still room for political moderates in the current climate.
They also gave heavily to independent lobby groups to fund issue advertisements that often indirectly backed Republican candidates.
Insurance giant Prudential Financial Inc. PRU, +0.64% allocated $2 million to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 2009, the same year the lobby group launched a TV advertising campaign seeking to stop a Democratic effort to create a consumer watchdog agency. Read a 2009 Prudential Financial report on its donations
The big transfer of capital from Democrats to Republicans started in January as it appeared to the financial industry that bank reform legislation on the Hill was going to have a major impact on their sector, argues Center for Responsive Politics spokesman Dave Levinthal.
By the time the Dodd-Frank Act was approved in July, it was clear the financial industry had made a decided shift to fund Republicans, Levinthal said.
"With financial reform not going their way, the impetus was for money to be allocated to Republicans -- people more philosophically aligned to their financial interests," he said.
Whoever controls the gavel controls the agenda
Dan Crowley, a partner at K&L Gates LLP in Washington, says Wall Street is putting its money behind conservative candidates in the hopes that Republican control of the House will change the agenda on Capitol Hill and put a spotlight on implementation of the new banking rules, primarily through aggressive congressional oversight.

Hey, here's something that no Buffy fan wants. Warner Bros is rebooting the franchise with a new Joss Whedon-less film. Now before anyone freaks out, I should note that the project is in more than capable hands. Whit Anderson, a background actor from Jim Carrey's Yes Man, has been hired to write the script. Oh. Oh no.
However! She does seem to be a Whedonite herself.
"I didn't really watch much television at all, but I always watched 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' that was the one show I would watch when I got home. I just loved this character. I was the same age as Buffy and it was so rare to have a female lead character on TV in those days who was strong and capable and smart but also allowed to be feminine."
Ummm… yeah. What she said. And monsters also got battle-axed in the face. And before you get worried that they're going to Twilight this thing up, you should check out this quote from producer Charles Roven. He's so psyched.
"This is a completely new reboot. Tone is extremely important and you want the audience to realize what is at stake and the peril is real, but at the same time what's going on should be fun and inviting and keep everyone engaged. It needs to be relevant to today, too, and that is what Whit has found a way to do."
They're totally going to Twilight this thing up. Now I understand that die-hard fans are not going to take that well, and they'll want to petition. I recommend starting up a muffin-mailing campaign or whatever it is that you people do. (LA Times)
Consider posting a comment.
Buffy started with a crap film, may as well end with one too.
This is the worst idea ever. DO NOT MAKE THIS MOVIE!! Without Joss Whedon, this thing doesnt have a chance nor the fan-base.

A little of this, a little of that ŌĆ"
ThereŌĆÖs plenty of blame to go around now that a Massachusetts group has been given the responsibility to assign, evaluate and train officials for Ocean State-based games.
ItŌĆÖs the result of an embarrassing fallout exposing unfortunate and regrettable decisions made by all involved parties in the saga over the fate of Rhode Island high school football officials.
PAWTUCKET --- ItŌĆÖs been said time and time again that life begins at 40, but in Linda BachandŌĆÖs case, running careers can also begin at that age.
Four years ago, Bachand, a 44-year-old detective and 18-year veteran of the Pawtucket Police Department, stumbled upon a health and wellness expo with a co-worker during a work conference in Florida.
The expo was being held in conjunction with a nearby marathon that was scheduled that weekend, and when Bachand, who was looking to kill time, toured the expo, something inside her clicked.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö State Rep. Michael J. Marcello wants to use GPS tracking systems to greatly expand the reach of the stateŌĆÖs domestic violence laws.
Marcello (D-Dist. 41, Scituate, Cranston) says a court-issued protective order or no-contact order is not enough to ensure that the victim of a crime will be safe from violence.
CENTRAL FALLS ŌĆö Joining neighboring Pawtucket, Central Falls Mayor James Diossa has privatized the city's trash and recycling services with the Seekonk, Mass.-based vendor MTG Disposal, Inc.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö The story on Saturday afternoon wasnŌĆÖt so much that the Pawtucket Red Sox assembled a mammoth sixth-inning rally to snag a 7-1 Game 1victory over the Rochester Red Wings at McCoy Stadium, but instead that David Ortiz played a key role in it.
The 37-year-old designated hitter, on a 20-game rehab stint with Pawtucket after suffering a right AchillesŌĆÖ injury in a triumph over the Chicago White Sox last July 16, delivered a two-run ground single to right to help his club extend its lead to 4-1 ŌĆō and continue PawtucketŌĆÖs finest-ever start to a season.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Alfred Smith feels confident now that whenever he has to lie down on a floor, he has the ability to raise himself back up. This was a personal milestone for the 70-year-old man with developmental challenges, and he took his first step through an Adaptive Yoga project offered by Shri Studio.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō The project to replace the crumbling Pawtucket River Bridge, which carries I-95 over the Seekonk River between Exits 27 and 28, is now expected to be completed some time during the first half of August.
ThatŌĆÖs the latest estimated completion date for the $81 million bridge project, which began in the fall of 2010.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆō For runners like Dave Constantino, the unicorn on the logo of the Boston Marathon has been fitting.
For nearly a decade at the hallowed 26.2-mile race, the 43-year-old Cumberland native has tried to track down his own personal unicorn ŌĆō that is, break the 3-hour mark ŌĆō but each time, heŌĆÖs fallen short.
And he has come oh-so-close. Two years ago, his time was 3:04:46. The previous year, he ran a 3:07:40. And in 2006, his second trip to Boston, he turned in a 3:09:27.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō From a win-loss perspective, the Pawtucket Red Sox canŌĆÖt ask for much more. Winners of six of seven games, it seems that Mother Nature, not the opposition, is the teamŌĆÖs toughest foe in the seasonŌĆÖs early stages.
FridayŌĆÖs postponement of Rochester-Pawtucket marks the second time in three days that the pitter-patter of raindrops has come into play for Gary DiSarcinaŌĆÖs ball club. This past Wednesday saw Pawtucket play two innings at Lehigh Valley before the game was halted in the second inning due to rain.
Gertrude Lebeau
PAWTUCKET - Gertrude Lebeau, 90, of Pawtucket, passed away Thursday, April 11, 2013 surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of Leo Lebeau. Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Ernest and Gertrude (Houston) Vashey. Mrs. Lebeau was a lifelong resident of Pawtucket.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō It was clear that David Ortiz was in no mood to stroll down memory lane.
Asked if he felt a touch of nostalgia upon returning to McCoy Stadium for the first time since the memorable three-game show he put on during the summer of 2008, the Red Sox slugger offered a wry smile. After being down for so long, itŌĆÖs clear that Ortiz is using his rehab stint with the PawSox as a prime opportunity to make up for lost time.
ŌĆ£Been a while, huh? Yeah, man, just coming down here to get some at-bats and get that engine going,ŌĆØ said a succinct Ortiz.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö As if enough confidence wasnŌĆÖt radiating from Jose Iglesias already, the shortstop was privileged enough to spend part of his Thursday afternoon with a noteworthy batting practice partner.
About two hours prior to first pitch, David Ortiz emerged from the clubhouse to get a few on-field swings. Fighting through the crowded wall of TV cameras and microphones, Iglesias had every intention of stepping in the cage the moment Ortiz needed a breather.
Iglesias may have been at McCoy Stadium, but it was clear that the big leagues were still on his mind.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Mix burning wooden pallets with a propane-fed fuel source and what do you get? A massive blaze of the type that kept firefighters very busy on Lockbridge Street Thursday afternoon.
At around 12:40 p.m., a fire broke out at the J.S. Pallet Company, 60 Lockbridge St. According to Capt. Robert Thurber, the city's fire marshal, a malfunctioning drying device used in the pallet-making process set off a blaze in a trailer at the commercial facility.
PAWTUCKETŌĆöWith several comments made about the benefits of ŌĆ£an extra set of eyes,ŌĆØ the City Council on Wednesday voted to engage the services of city resident Alan Tavares as a fiscal watchdog during the upcoming budget process.
The council voted 8 to 0 to accept the volunteer services of Tavares, a retired financial official who lives on Pinecrest Drive. Councilor Jean Philippe Barros had been present at the meeting earlier but left prior to this vote.
Robert E. Gendreau
SEEKONK - Robert E. Gendreau, 80, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, April 9, 2013. He was the beloved husband of Norma M. (Poirier) Gendreau for fifty-eight years. Born in Pawtucket, a son of the late Armand and Lucy (Lagasse) Gendreau, he resided in the Hebronville section of Attleboro before moving to Seekonk in 1969.

Document Number: 7647Recruiting and Retaining Quality Teachers for High Needs Schools: Insights from NBCT Summits and Other Policy Initiatives - Studies consistently show that teachers who are better trained, more experienced and licensed in the subjects they teach are more likely to be teaching in more affluent schools, serving more academically advantaged students. The same is true for teachers who generate higher student test scores as well as those who earn National Board Certification. Addressing the maldistribution of qualified teachers may be the most vexing public school problem facing America�s policymakers today.

Q We're here with Dava.H, to talk about what it's like to be cuckolded by a wife. Hi David.
A Hello.
Q We understand it can be difficult to talk about a marital affair, especially when it involves cuckolding and feminization. Thanks for joining us.
A It's okay, nothing could be much worse than what I've already been through.
Q So how did it start?
A Well, I'd been working long hours at the offices and not able to get home till late each night. Our love making had fallen off as I was usually too tired and stressed from work. My wife would start berating and scolding me. She'd say that maybe she should find a REAL man to have sex with if I was going to such a bore. I mean, I was working hard to keep her happy and driving a nice carÉ what did she want from me? Anyway, one night I called to say I was going to be late again and a man answered.
Q Wow, that must of been a shock!
A It was. I could hear her laughing in the background and soft music playing.
Q What happened when you got home.
A I walked in and saw a trail of clothes leading to the bedroom door. I followed it and as I got closer I could her my wife moaning and passionately calling out obscenities.
Q Did you go in?
A YesÉ she was laying on the bed with her legs in the air having sex with not one, but TWO men! She was orally servicing one man as his friend thrust away between her upraised legsÉ I was shocked! I felt tears well up in my eyes and didn't know what to sayÉbut my wife didÉ she said "Sit down, David and watch. Maybe you'll learn something!" Both men laughed and said "Yeah, Sport, Don't you be looking at my ass or I'll fuck you next!"
Q OMG! What then?
A She made me strip down naked and play with myself as they took turns satisfying her. From there, it, it just got WORSE...
Q It's okay, tell us.
A She made me put on a pair of her panties and high heelsÉ and then ordered me to get down on my knees and suck her male friend's off.
Q And you did it?
A They had a gun! They said they'd shoot me if I didn't do everything my wife told me. I guess both had been in prison and were used to making men and boys act like female whores for them. "Sissy bitches" is what they said they liked having sex with when a woman wasn't available. It was horrible. Finally, after what seemed like hours, they left and my wife told me to go take a shower and sleep on the couch. I wasn't allowed in the bedroom with her anymore.
Q Was that the only time?
A Oh, no! After that almost every night she'd make me cross dress and watch as she brought home all sorts of men - she would delight in picking up huge black and latino men and force me to have sex with them while dressed as a female. She threatened to tell my co-workers and friends. I shamefully allowed her men to stay the night and make me do things that any normal man would shudder from. She was just such a dominant bitch I couldn't say no. It was like she had me under her spell...
Q I see.
A And now I can't seem to break free. She even forces me to wear panties under my business suit during the day. Sometimes she text's me pictures of men's erect penises and says that's what we're having for dinner!ÉÉI, IÉ(poor David started crying too hard at this point and we had to end the interview. Hard to believe, but some men are forced into a cuckold relationship by a sexually dominant wife and cannot break free. Of course, so LIKE itÉ)

Philippine economy hits 7.2% in 2013 despite calamities-A A +A
Thursday, January 30, 2014
MANILA -- The Philippines posted higher growth last year despite the devastation wrought by several disasters in the country, officials said Thursday.
The economy grew 6.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013, resulting to a full year gross domestic product (GDP) of 7.2 percent, surpassing the official target of 6-7 percent, said Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan in a press conference.
Officer-in-charge National Statistician Carmelita Ericta said the fourth quarter growth was driven by the services sector, particularly, trade and real estate, renting and business activities, and by the accelerated performance of manufacturing.
"On the demand side, sustained consumer and government spending for the whole year buttressed by increased investments in fixed capital formation, particularly in durable equipment, contributed to the healthy GDP growth in 2013," she said.
Balisacan, who is also the director general of the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda), said that growth last year could have been better, had the Philippines not been perturbed by various disasters, such as the magnitude 7.2 Bohol earthquake, the Zamboanga siege and Typhoon Yolanda.
Nonetheless, he stressed that the Philippines remains as one of the best performing economies in the Asian region in the fourth quarter of last year, second only to China, which grew by 7.7 percent.
Balisacan admitted that it could take some time for establishments in typhoon-affected areas to recover assets and regain momentum and this is expected to affect the growth in the first quarter of 2014.
However, he said "we are optimistic that the Philippine economy will remain strong in 2014, especially that the outlook on the global economy is becoming more favorable and as the domestic economy remains robust."
Malacanang welcomed the economic growth last year as the Aquino administration vowed to remain focused on achieving inclusive growth by reducing poverty and increasing social protection.
"We will not only revive and bolster the communities affected by calamities, but together, we will hasten our task of achieving lasting, inclusive growth that leaves no one behind," Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said. (SDR/Sunnex)

Local Schools Among Winners of USDA 'Health Challenge'
Posted By admin On December 20, 2012 @ 12:00 pm In Bell Gardens Sun,City Terrace Comet,Commerce Comet,East Los Angeles (LA City),Eastside Sun,Education,ELA Brooklyn Belvedere Comet,General News,Glassell Park,Mexican American Sun,Montebello Comet,Monterey Park Comet,Northeast Los Angeles,Northeast Sun,Vernon Sun,Wyvernwood Chronicle | No Comments
An elementary school in Northeast Los Angeles and one in East L.A. are among the top winners of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's "Healthier US Schools Challenge," it was announced Dec. 15.
The LAUSD as a whole received $252,000 in prizes, with Glassell Park Elementary in Northeast Los Angeles and Lorena Elementary in East Los Angeles each earning "gold medal of distinction awards" and $2,000 for promoting nutrition and physical activities. A third school, Castelar Elementary also received the award.
Silver medals and $1,000 prizes went to Brockton, Leland, Purche, Reseda and the 112th Street elementary schools. Other awards brought the total prizes paid to the district's wellness programs to $252,000.
The awards go to schools participating in the National School Lunch Program that have created healthier school environments through the promotion of nutrition and physical activity.
"This accomplishment reinforces our commitment to serve nutritious meals and encourage our students to stay fit," said LAUSD Superintendent Dr. John Deasy. "Studies show that when students eat right, exercise regularly and get proper rest, their health not only improves, but they also do better in school."
In February 2010, First Lady Michelle Obama introduced Let's Move!, incorporating the Healthier US School Challenge into her campaign to raise a generation of healthier children, the USDA announced.
"These awards became a reality as a result of our partnership with the Office of Physical Education, Food Services Division, Network for a Healthy California LAUSD, Beyond the Bell and Student Health and Human Services Division," said David Binkle, LAUSD Director of Food Services.
"To receive this many awards is truly an honor and the monetary contributions would go a long away to further educate students about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity," he said.

Banking Interpretations
February 10, 2011
Dear Mr. [---]:
This is in response to your letter requesting that the New York State Banking Department (the "Banking Department") concur with your conclusion that [---](the "Corporation") is not required to be licensed as a money transmitter under New York Banking Law (the "Banking Law") Section 640 et seq. based on its proposed [---].
The Corporation proposes to create a service called [---], which will allow customers to make cash payments at a designated retail location for goods or services from participating merchants, billers and creditors (the "Payee") that designate the Corporation as their payment agent.
The Corporation originally proposed to be the agent of the Payee, while the retail locations would be agents of the Corporation. The Department rejected this arrangement because the retail locations would not be deemed to be agents of the Payee. After conversations with you, the Corporation has amended its Processing Agreements such that the Corporation and retail locations are effectively deemed to be agents of the Payee, although the term "as agent" is omitted when referencing the agency relationship between the Payee and the retail locations. You advised us that the Corporation did not want to create an express agency between the Payee and the retail locations for various tax purposes; however, the current language in the Processing Agreements may be read to create an implied agency in which the retail locations are agents of the Payee. Under current case law, an implied agency is just as effective as an actual agency relationship. Continental Oil Co. v. Baxter, 59 S.W.2d 463.
Because (1) the amended Processing Agreement to be signed by each Payee will include a schedule that names each retail location agreed to by the Payee, (2) all amendments to the schedule will be agreed to by the Payee, and (3) in the Processing Agreement, the Payee will agree that receipt of funds from a customer by the Corporation and/or a retail location is deemed receipt of funds from the customer, then each listed retail location is an implied agent of the Payee and neither the Corporation nor the retail location must be registered as a money transmitter.
Please note that this opinion is limited to the facts as described above. Any change made to the [---] service may require a money transmitter license. As such, the Banking Department should be notified of any structural changes to the [---] service in order to determine if a money transmitter license is required.If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
Monique E. Holmes
Assistant Counsel
cc: Marjorie Gross, Esq.
Mr. Angelo Sigismondo

California State University - Northridge (French)
Hello! I am a graduate of California State University, Northridge with a major in French. I spent a year abroad in Aix-en-Provence in the South of France studying the language. I speak French and German and I have tutored students of both languages focusing on grammar, vocabulary and proper accent. I particularly enjoy teaching grammar and working with students who need extra support in that area. I have received great reviews from the people I've worked with who say I was great help and I made language study easier for them. I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to work with students at all levels. Hello! I am a graduate of California State University, Northridge with a major in French.

Joseph is calm and patient and very knowledgeable about German grammar. He speaks fluently and is tactful when making corrections. He has been flexible about meeting times and is always on time. He is supportive and never critical. He takes initiative to bring helpful resources to the tutoring lessons.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have studied French for over a decade. I lived in France for 9 months where I studied French in Aix-en-Provence. I graduated with a major in French. Many native French speakers have told me that I speak it very well and they sometimes even thought I was French!
I studied German for about five years. I have often helped other students of German. Many Germans say that I speak it very well.
Joseph E. passed a background check on 12/14/14. The check was ordered by another user through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Joseph, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
