Cougar reported near elementary school
A cougar has reportedly been spotted several times in Walnut Grove over the past few days, and while an elementary school is taking precautions, the B.C. Conservation Officer Service is trying to get more information about the sighting.
Ecole des Voyageurs is warning residents in the area of the school at 8736 216 St. that the animal has been spotted more than once during the past week.
Although students have been under lock down all week — being kept indoors during lunch, recess and physical education classes — staff felt it was wise to warn area residents of the wild cat's presence.
"As you know, the students spent recess and lunch periods inside the school all week,"Marie Fraser wrote in an email to parents.
"Given this latest cougar sighting, we have decided to follow the same procedures next week also."
Jack Trudgian with the B.C. Conservation Officer Service said he hasn't heard directly from the person who reported seeing the cougar, but he would like to.
"It really important we talk to the person directly," he said. "We only have the information third hand.
"Call us to tell us where, when and how many times, you saw it," he said.
Normally, when a cougar enters a residential area, its presence generates a number of calls, said Trudgian. In this case, there haven't been any calls to to the CO's line.
"It's not common, but it's not uncommon," to see a cougar in Langley, he said.
"There are more coyotes in Langley than anything, and more bears than cougars."
Langley is a semi-rural community which includes ravines that run north-south through the municipality, Trudgian explained.
On one hand, the corridors provide safe passage for the animals, but on the other, they can bring predators into residential areas.
But just because the animals are around, doesn't necessarily mean they are a threat to humans, he said.
Cougars don't like to be around people and will normally keep moving, following whatever food source they're tracking.
In Langley, they're usually spotted along the U.S. border, where there is a large deer population.
"Cougar attacks are rare. We don't want people to be alarmed," Trudgian said.
The key, he said, is to educate children about how to behave if they see a wild animal.
"Never run away from a predator and call us if you see one."
The bottom line, said Trudgian, is not to panic, to use common sense when a wild animal is in the area and to understand that they are a part of life in Langley.
Trudgian is asking that anyone who can report a personal sighting of the cougar in Walnut Grove call 1-877-952-7277.

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Bumblebee forums → Bumblebee Identification → Thread
Hi pat362,
Your photo shows a Garden bumblebee, Bombus hortorum.
It commonly works Aquilegia flowers, going in from the open end of the flower and using it's extremely long tongue to reach the nectar up at the top of the flowers.
There are three yellow bands, two on the thorax (one at front, one at back) and a third band on the front part of the abdomen - but you often have to be sharp-eyed to spot it. And a white tail of course.
See if you can get a picture showing the bee's face - it should be long and horse-like.
There is a similarly coloured smaller species, the Heath bumblebee B. jonellus, but this has a short tongue, so wouldn't work an Aquilegia flower from the bottom like this, but I guess may rob the flowers by "floral larceny".
I hope this helps ! Clive
Very many thanks for the detailed reply, Clive. There are always bumblebees on these flowers so I might be able to get more photos. Before I joined this forum I just thought a bumblebee was a bumblebee, so this is all very interesting. Thanks!
Hi Pat,
Clive is right, long-tongued Bombus hortorum bumbles love aquilegias and are able to pollinate them properly because their tongues reach the nectar in the flower spurs [a bribe by the flower] so that pollen is then deposited on their backs from the anthers. Aquilegias seed all over the place and cross-pollination between different aquilegias results in the wide range of flower colours around the garden - purple, pink, white etc. Keep watch too for the other short-tongued bumbles [such as Bombus terrestris] that can't reach the nectar other than by taking sneaky bites out of the spurs to rob the nectar, thus bypassing the pollination process altogether. Look at the flower spurs and if they look wrinkled, then the robbers have been busy.
Thank you, urbanbumble I'll look when I go back out!
Do you know….I was wondering if the bumble visiting my aquilegias was horturum….they climbed inside the flowers so I didn't see the tongue until the other day…and yes…it is very long…there was one little lady flying around with her tongue hanging out! :D

Seen as how we are your best friend we thought we get to know your mother. She's a lovely lady, really man, you're lucky to have her as a mum.

The Reemergence of the NeoCons
If you believed that the NeoCons disappeared after the 2008 election, how soon do you forget? With the next round in the never-ending beltway two-step, the Republican leadership readies their hold of the House of Representatives agenda. The Tea Party freshmen promise to bring a breath of fresh air to a stuffy chamber. Time will tell if their pledge of hope will pan out. What is known with certainty is that the entrenched GOP leadership continues with their dedication to the policies that exemplify their NeoCon mindset. So what is a neoconservative? ...

Aggressive Power and Immoral Authority
September 28, 2015 by SARTRE · Leave a Comment
Another sad chapter from a desperate imperial empire lays naked for the entire world to see. The pretense that an international community of nations has arbitrary authority to remove any government that conflicts with the master plan of total global enslavement exposes the utter failure of legitimacy. By what moral mandate do belligerent nations have to insight regime change, when the facts clearly demonstrate that conflicting tribal factions are engaged in a civil conflict?

DETROIT - While a Detroit mother stands charged with murdering her 8-year-old daughter, the future of her four other remaining children is playing out in court.
Semeria Greene is accused of neglecting her surviving children prior to the death of daughter, Tameria Greene -- who was found stabbed in the chest on Dec. 30.
Greene was arrested and arraigned on felony murder and child abuse charges. She pleaded not guilty.
~Semeria Greene~
The remaining four sons were taken into protective custody.
In juvenile court on Monday, the Department of Human Services recommended the boys be removed from the family's custody and be put up for adoption right away.
The father of three of the boys was in court trying to fight for the right to keep the boys.
Watch: Court blunder blamed for lack of protection for 8-year-old stabbed by mother.
DHS says they want the boys to be placed in to fosters homes immediately so they may attend funeral services for their sister without having contact with any family members.
"Just pray for the children please," said the paternal grandmother to three of Greene's children as she left court on Monday.

Evidence-Based Model Yields Positive Results for Challenging Children
Ohio Hospital for Psychiatry Implements Principles of the Collaborative Problem Solving Model
COLUMBUS, OH (December 20, 2007)- Ohio Hospital for Psychiatry (OHP) announced yesterday a 90% decrease in children's negative behaviors since the August 2007 implementation of the principles of the Collaborative Problem Solving Model (CPS). OHP is the only children's behavioral health facility in the Midwest utilizing this model.
The CPS Model measures negative behaviors in terms of frequency, intensity and duration. This evidence-based model finds explosive behaviors are highly predictable and proceeded by a consistent trigger. Identifying triggers proactively works to decrease the likelihood that explosive behaviors will occur.
The success of this model is grounded in the fact that the principles are easily understood and can be readily learned by staff, families and providers after very little training. "In 22 years of working with severely emotionally disturbed children," says Dr. Michael Sherbun, CEO Ohio Hospital for Psychiatry, "I have never experienced a model that has a more immediate and lasting positive impact on children's lives."
Ohio Hospital for Psychiatry will begin offering educational training sessions for CEUs to parents, providers and school systems on the Principles of the Collaborative Problem Solving Model and managing difficult and destructive behaviors. For more information about these opportunities, visit www.ohp-columbus.com.
Ohio Hospital for Psychiatry is a 78-bed freestanding psychiatric facility dedicated to producing the highest mental health outcomes for children and adolescents ages 5-17. Using evidence-based treatments and innovative care methods, our goal is to change children's behaviors and change lives.
For more information or to schedule an interview, please contact Katie Kisiel, Communications Strategist, OHP, 614/ 445-5312.

Ideal for doorway applications and for transitioning between floors of different heights. Used with hardwood flooring, tile, or carpet surfaces.

This was the threshold that came with the flooring we selected. It went well with the flooring, but was unusually tall. The carpet is thick, so it will be okay, but on low pile carpet, it won't work as well.
Attractive wood but doesn't hold up as well as I hoped. Already has scuffs just from walking on it.
Love my tobacco road acacia engineered flooring, and needed an extra threshold, and LL was great in getting it for me asap. Thanks, Mike, at the Spokane Valley store. You were terrific!
Best Uses
The threshold piece was not an exact match to the flooring we chose but it came very close and looks good. The piece itself is of very good quality and has a beautiful stain and finish.
Floor is awesome. We have birch block paneling in the room where we installed the flooring and were concerned about chosing the right shade of wood. The Tabacco Road solved that for us. With the beautiful grain and color variations , it was a prefect choice. Our friends are very impressed with the look & quality of the flooring.
Service and delivery comments:
We live is a rural area about 1/2 between Houston and Dallas and chose to drive to the North Houston store as they were the closest with enough of the flooring for our project. The staff were very helpful and amazingly efficient. Thanks, fellers.

Q:Installing Tobacco Road 1/2" X 5" Engineered. My general question is how to install transition mouldings. I have the subfloor of the house, then a 1/4" lauan underlayment, then the Quiet Walk underlayment, then the wood flooring. I step down to a carpeted area that is just installed on top of the house subfloor. Do I glue the transition strip to the underlayment fabric or to the subfloor. I have areas that the end of the wood floor stops and carpet starts. So do I need to be sure the other underlayment layers are cut back flush to the wood???
1 answer
A:The leg of this threshold needs to be secured to the subfloor (not the cushion) you may need to shim it up to sit level.
Q:Is the lip intended to cover the new wood floor or the floor it is transitioning to?

A:The lip is used to cover the expansion gap on the new floor. Thank you for your inquiry

Q:I am installing hardwood in my home and tile in my bathrooms. Will this work as a transition piece to the lower tile and how much height differential does it give me. I may need to float the tile and I would prefer using this because the tile is 1/2 inch thick and the wood floor and subfloor is 1 3/8 inch thick. Thanks for your help.
1 answer
A:This should work for your application.
Q:I have purchased the threshold to transition from this engineered floor to another floor that is 1/4" inch thick and tile that is 3/4" inch thick. Do I need to make any modifications to the threshold?
1 answer
A:The drop down portion of this transition measures about 5/16" so you may need to fine tune it just a bit. The transition needs to be attached to the subfloor using nails or 100% urethane construction adhesive. Do not attach to the engineered flooring and be sure to leave 1/4 " expansion up to the leg of this trim.
Q:I am going to transition from 1/2" engineered hardwood to 3/8" tile. Will this transition smoothly? I see it says it is 5/8" thick which I understand to be the measurement from top to bottom on the front side. What is the measurement from the bottom to the first angled cut on the front side?
1 answer
A:The measurement from the bottom to the first angled cut on the front side is 1/2" so you may need to fine tune it just a bit. The transition needs to be attached to the subfloor using nails or 100% urethane construction adhesive. Do not attach to the engineered flooring and be sure to leave 1/4 " expansion up to the leg of this trim. Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question.
Q:I am ready to install the threshold piece but it doesn't sit flat on the elastilon. It's probably 1/8 inch gap underneath the threshold piece when I set it on top of engineered flooring (that is installed on cement with elaston). How do I get it raised high enough to sit flush on the flooring?
1 answer
A:You will need to shim the space w/ some stock (paint stir sticks work great & there free)

LAKELAND, Fla. – Juniors Aloua Adjenak and Matt Nicholson-Lewis continue to make their mark in one of the toughest fall tournaments in the country as they each advanced to the quarterfinal round of the USTA/ITA Regional Championships, Friday afternoon from Wynee Warden Tennis Center on the campus of Florida Southern. Additionally, the tandem of Nicholson-Lewis and Victor Lozier etched their place in the Flight One doubles semifinals.
On the singles side, however, Adjenak battled back from a one set deficit to defeat Rollins' Adrian di Felice, 6-7 (7-5), 6-1, 6-3. Meanwhile, Nicholson-Lewis controlled his match from the onset downing Florida Southern's Benoit Paradis in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. Adjenak will challenge the top-seeded Marco Mokrzycki from Barry, while Nicholson-Lewis will challenge West Florida's Bruno Savi.
Ismail Lemtouni joined in on the winning ways collecting a Flight A Consolation victory over Eckerd's Stephen Felman, 6-0, 6-4. He will challenge Florida Tech's Patrick Hernandez on Saturday.
After going to tiebreak in Thursday's Round of 16, Nicholson-Lewis and Lozier left no doubt in asserting who was the better doubles team in Friday's quarterfinal match-up with Rollins' Jason Alabaster and Cooper Maxwell, downing the pair, 8-5. The win puts the Lions' duo in the semifinals against West Florida's Kevin Durcos and Tony Rajaobelin.
The men will return to the court for semifinal action at the USTA/ITA South Regional Championship on Saturday, September 29, at the Wynee Warden Tennis Center on the campus of Florida Southern.

A CHIEF nurse has apologised for the way a dementia sufferer was sent home in a taxi from Stoke Mandeville Hospital at 2am.
Click here for the full story about the 85-year-old patient - who was left freezing in a hospital gown after struggling to get into her home.
Lynne Swiatczak, Chief Nurse and Director of Patient Care Standards at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, said this afternoon: "I am sorry for the way that Mrs Smith's mother's discharge was managed – it was not handled in the correct way, and falls far short of the standard that I would expect.
"I have been in contact with Mrs Smith and am investigating exactly what happened. We take all complaints seriously and will not hesitate to take action if we need to."

The last time Kenyans voted in a general election, more than a thousand people died in the ensuing violence and hundreds of thousands were displaced. It's hardly surprising that emotions are running high ahead of this year's vote on Monday March 4. The election will also be the country's first under its new constitution, which was introduced in 2010 with the aim of devolving more power to the regions. Adding to the tension is the fact that Uhuru Kenyatta – one of the two men considered most likely to win this year – has been indicted by the International Criminal Court in the Hague for crimes against humanity, along with his running mate, for their alleged role in the 2008 violence.
In the FT
- What happened last time? After trailing in the polls, the incumbent President – Mwai Kibaki, a member of Kenya's largest tribe, the Kikuyus – was narrowly re-elected in a vote that many international observers said was flawed. He was sworn in on December 30 2007, but supporters of his opponent – Raila Odinga, a member of the Luo tribe – said the election had been rigged. William Wallis recounted how anger grew: "Text messages circulated stating simply: 41 on 1. This was a reference to Mr Kibaki's Kikuyus, who comprise close to a quarter of the population, and the 41 (or so) other tribes who make up the rest. It was an ominous reminder of the perils of a system that has encouraged Kenya's leaders, since the British colonial days of divide-and-rule, to abuse tribal allegiance for economic and political gain."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/6/2013 (1531 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There are musical gems throughout the lineup of the Winnipeg International Jazz Festival; some right in your face on the mainstage, others in smaller venues, but all worth the effort to seek them out.
Obvious choices for some exciting jazz during the June 13-23 fest include saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa (June 17), singer Patricia Barber (June 18) and U.K. saxophonist Courtney Pine (June 22).
If you like singers, there are Bettye LaVette (June 19), Jane Monheit (June 21), Barber, and Montreal's Coral Egan, who performs two sets June 20 at the Winnipeg Free Press News Caf©.
Egan has a nice jazz/pop sound and will sound great in the intimate setting of the News Caf©.
Having three singers in the mainstage lineup was more of a happy coincidence than a master plan, Jazz Winnipeg executive producer Paul Nolin says. But he calls Barber, LaVette, and Monheit "distinctive, stylishly unique singers."
The festival mainstage always includes an act or two off the beaten jazz path, and this year that means: The Roots (June 22), the Grammy Award-winning hip-hop outfit known for its house band gig on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon; and guitar great George Benson.
The guitarist, who closes out the festival on June 23, has faced criticism over the years for moving from his jazz roots to a popular R&B sound. Not that he or his accountants regret the move.
"I haven't heard any pushback on him as not being jazzy enough," Nolin says. "Lots of people coming into the office for tickets are pleased to see him. He's a real entertainer, a quality player."
Benson's show will be more of a general show for Winnipeg, Nolin says. Benson's new recording -- Inspiration, A Tribute to Nat King Cole -- requires a full orchestra and his June 23 concert at the Burton Cummings Theatre will be with an octet, Nolin adds.
If you like to catch jazz stars in the making, teenage bassist Devon Gillingham performs June 22 at the Cube Lounge.
Gillingham, who is just finishing high school, won this year's Jazz at Lincoln Center Essentially Ellington composition contest with his piece Remember Me, which was recorded by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra last month.
Gillingham has been accepted into the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City. This is a chance to say you knew him when.
Jazz Winnipeg wants more of a festival, party atmosphere in the Old Market Square area and, accordingly, has concentrated more club shows there -- at the King's Head Pub, Rachel Browne Theatre, Cinematheque and Winnipeg Free Press News Caf© -- as well as the free opening weekend that runs June 13-16 in Old Market Square.
New this year is what the fest organizers call the Cube Lounge, a fenced-off area around the Cube stage in the square, that will offer traditional jazz by local musicians on Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22, in contrast to the opening weekend's more eclectic mix.
Entry to the lounge area (for a $10 fee or to pass holders) includes access to beer and wine service. Patrons will be able to see the stage from inside the low-fenced area.
Concentrating more activity near Old Market Square came from audience feedback about the distance between venues, Nolin said, and Jazz Winnipeg board members and staff held a strategy session to address it.
Ticket sales are consistent with other years, Nolin says, "but it's in my nature to fret." With the late spring, people were slow to click that festival season was here, he adds, but it is picking up.
Mainstage shows include: Rudresh Mahanthappa's Gamak, June 17, West End Cultural Centre; Patricia Barber Quartet, June 18, WECC; Bettye LaVette, June 19, Burton Cummings Theatre; Preservation Hall Jazz Band, June 20, the Burt; Jane Monheit, June 21, the Burt; The Roots, June 22, Centennial Concert Hall; Courtney Pine, June 22, WECC; and George Benson, June 23, the Burt.
Tickets for the Winnipeg International Jazz Festival, which runs June 13-23, are available at jazzwinnipeg.com, 204-989-4656 and at the Jazz Winnipeg office (007-100 Arthur St.). Tickets for Burton Cummings Theatre and Centennial Concert Hall shows are also available at Ticketmaster.

Cyber Policy
If it seemed that the national debate over federal cybersecurity authorities was obscured by the recent dizzying few weeks of sensational news, think again. The issue is inextricably linked to the furor over National Security Agency surveillance activities, and Capitol Hill testimonies and behind-the-scenes legislative action also are fueling deliberations over how far agencies can go in cyberspace.
Confusion and worry have not lessened. In addition to the question of boundaries, the debate concerns questions such as which agencies should lead national cybersecurity efforts, what role industry should play and even what constitutes cyber warfare. The most obvious solution is passing laws to address those questions, but that has proven to be impossible, to date, in a sharply divided Congress.
Insiders say it is a bit of a circular problem: Uncertainties remain because there are no defined laws, but lawmakers have been unable to pass laws amid ongoing debate over the uncertainties. Meanwhile, special authorities are being used as cyber threats continue to evolve, particularly by the Defense Department and intelligence agencies.
"The rapid increase in cyber espionage and disruptive attacks has captured the fears of national security officials. DOD, with its long-standing role in defending the nation, appropriately has become ever more seized, in part because of the challenges they see directly," said Greg Rattray, CEO of Delta Risk and former White House director for cybersecurity, at an Atlantic Council event in Washington on June 17. "The desire to have DOD figure that role out, figure out what Cyber Command should do in defense of not just DOD networks, but more broadly the nation, is very active. Everyone is sort of jumping forward to play as much of a role as they can because the fears are high."
Outside Congress, orders for conducting militarized cyber operations have been in place at least since last fall. Specifics of the top-secret Presidential Policy Directive 20, a memorandum authorizing military activities in cyberspace, emerged in recent days as part of the leak of classified NSA information. The directive includes definitions of the cyber environment and various operations, as well as provisions for the use of cyber operations and descriptions related to their use.
"The United States has an abiding interest in developing and maintaining use of cyberspace as an integral part of U.S. national capabilities to collect intelligence and to deter, deny, or defeat any adversary that seeks to harm U.S. national interests in peace, crisis, or war," the directive states, according to text published by The Guardian. "Given the evolution in U.S. experience, policy, capabilities, and understanding of the cyber threat, and in information and communications technology, this directive establishes updated principles and processes as part of an overarching national cyber policy framework."
That framework, however, is far from complete. Although the House passed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act in April and is said to be close to unveiling another measure that codifies the Department of Homeland Security's role as government cybersecurity lead, the Senate has yet to follow suit. The efforts come after legislation failed to pass last year, hamstrung by disagreements over privacy concerns and industry regulations. Provisions regarding the role of the private sector have proved a particular sticking point.
"The bigger issues -- the privacy issues, the business issues -- [are] what I understand really led to the breakdown in your efforts here on the Hill in trying to find compromise legislation last December. That yet needs to be bolted together," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told the Senate Budget Committee on June 12. "When you veer out in the private sector, how far you can go, what legal authorities you have, what laws govern that, are, I think, the large areas of some contested debate."
It's an ongoing debate that officials acknowledge is taking place throughout Washington between legislators, decision-makers, and members of industry and academia, even as fears of cyberattacks continue to mount.
"You can see in the discussions coming out of the White House and senior Pentagon circles that there's a significant amount of brainpower being directed toward figuring out the decisional process that would govern cyber conflict or, for that matter, even defining when it exists," Rep. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) said at the June 17 Atlantic Council event.
"You can see in the discussions coming out of the White House and senior Pentagon circles that there's a significant amount of brainpower being directed toward figuring out the decisional process that would govern cyber conflict or, for that matter, even defining when it exists," Rep. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) said at the June 17 Atlantic Council event.
Langevin noted that persistent Chinese cyber espionage, the attacks on Saudi Aramco and cyber warfare taking place on the Korean peninsula point to an increasingly volatile environment that can blur the battle lines -- and that demand effective action. "There's already technically a state of war" on the Korean peninsula, he said. "These attacks point to cyber threats not only existing but evolving in new ways."
Note: This article was updated on June 19 to clarify the focus of Rep. Langevin's remarks.

The General Services Administration posted detailed data on how the $50 billion Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions contract might be divvied up.
The White House announced a long-planned move to elevate Cyber Command to the status of a full combatant command.
Verizon says it will carve a dedicated network out of its extensive national 4G LTE network for first responders, in competition with FirstNet.
The Heritage Foundation is recommending that hundreds of thousands of federal jobs be replaced by automation as part of a larger government reorganization strategy.
Defense officials hope the Common Access Card's days are numbered as they continue to test new identity management solutions.
The problem that is creating much of the controversy is the difference (very little) between cyber espionage and gathering information. When the Fed is now "gathering information" on law abiding U.S. citizens, one has to wonder if the Government has started to wander outside their role of protector and into the role of agressor. We have concerns about Chinese cyber espionage and then discover that the Fed is engaging in some of the same activity against us in order to "protect us". One begins to wonder if some of cyber defense we get is really about defense or about some other objective. Throw in the latest scandal about the IRS and suddenly a lot of people start to get skeptical of getting enhanced "cyber defense".
So in fear and paralysis we let Congress decide that the 4th amendment doesn't apply. And now Congress lets the government (NSA et al) collect everything it can on everybody, then later ask for permission (a warrant) to go look at that data. Collect now, sieze later; Search now, accuse later; Seems a slippery slope. The founding fathers warned of that tyranny whether exercised by a divine-right king or political-elitists. Not that I encourage terrorism or other attacks, but the American people need to be educated and ready to resist such attacks without the government playing big-brother and nanny. If we were exposed to the threat a bit more we might understand the value strengthening states right and in not letting foreigners (and the NSA) use our system of freedom against us. And if it works so well, what happened in Ft. Hood or in Boston? It does not seem worth the price, sacrificing a little freedom for a little security. We will end up with neither.

That was not an attack. They were playing with you. Like my kids play with their food. If it was an attack, you would not be commenting on House's rolleyes.
I'm confused (as usual ) if SEVEN eye rolls are a hug, what is one eye roll? Is that like an arm squeeze or something? Or is that the one-and-only-true-blue-STFU eye roll?
Mishka just kissed you.
(that's what three eye rolls means)
One eye roll is the finger, btw, Mississippi.
Mishka just kissed you.
Uh-oh. I threw it out there to see what 3 eye-rolls meant.
Don't tell my wife about that in November, m'kay?
Oh Mighty Wing
I won't say a word. We'll have to keep quiet about what Casa is doing to Candice too.
50,000 Miles Later
The word "woot" annoys me.
That's all.
Well now I have to ask, WHY?

Dear Denee,
Thanks for the suggestions. As my students are presently reading A
Midsummer Night's Dream (11th grade) and Taming of the Shrew (12th), it
will be easy to adapt the in-class essay to their current reading
Hopefully, the small group discussions will captivate the imaginations of
the reluctant readers.

|Assistant Athletic Director for Academics and Student Welfare
Dr. Lance Jasitt serves as Assistant Athletics Director for Academics and Student Welfare.
Dr. Jasitt plays a key role in the academic success of each of Tech's varsity student-athletes, managers, and graduate assistants. His primary goals are to provide guidance and academic resources to permit student-athletes to maintain their academic eligibility under NCAA rules and to help them progress to graduation. In this process, Dr. Jasitt serves as a primary liaison between coaches and faculty.
A detail-oriented person and a diligent worker, Dr. Jasitt has developed a solid understanding of the operations of the Athletics Department, the staff and the needs of its student-athletes.
In addition to his administrative role within Athletics, Dr. Jasitt is also highly involved in promoting reading and literacy at all age levels. He was the 2008-09 president of the TTU Council of the International Reading Association and has co-taught a graduate-level linguistics course for several years. He served on the President's Commission on the Status of Women for seven years and has been a member of the President's Commission on the Status of Blacks since 2014.
Raised in York, Pa., he earned a bachelor's degree from Penn State in 1978 and added a master's in public administration from Valdosta State in 1987. In 1993, he received a master's degree in education from Old Dominion University and added a Ph.D. in literacy education from Tennessee Tech in 2004.
Dr. Jasitt is a former Commander in the U.S. Navy. His wife, Donna White Jasitt, is a former Captain in the U.S. Navy Reserve. They have two children, Ian and Meagan, who are both Tech alumni. Ian is now pursuing a master's degree in Professional Sciences with a concentration in Environmental Informatics at Tennessee Tech. Meagan returned from an 11-month round-the-world mission trip in 2014-15 and plans to study in Spain during 2015-16.

ESPNNewYork.com is reporting that the Mets have designated first baseman Mike Jacobs for assignment, leaving room for Ike Davis to be called up, according to unidentified sources.
According to the report, Jacobs was released to make room for the call-up of Tobi Stoner from Triple A to help out the weary bullpen from last night's 20-inning game. When the now 13-member pitching staff is rested, Davis is expected to join the Mets to fill the ailing first base position.
It's a move that many fans will be happy with and one that frankly makes sense right now. Neither Jacobs nor Fernando Tatis was performing very well offensively. Davis could be the shot in the arm the Mets need in that position and for the club overall.
What do you think of the move?
