How to Qualify for Certification
For initial certification in Maine, all candidates must:
- Earn a baccalaureate degree
- Pass The Praxis Series™ test for certification area(s)
- Submit the appropriate certification application and fees
Important Information
- Maine requires a Social Security number (SSN) in order to process educator certification paperwork. ETS does not require your SSN for its own purposes, but will submit it to Maine with your test results. Failure to provide your SSN may delay processing of your certification application.
- Beginning with the 2013–14 testing year, ETS is administering a new version of the Health Education test. This new test will be offered in a computer-delivered format and the new test code will be 5551. The new test covers the same content as the previous test. However, scores are reported on a different scale, so requirements will vary from previous versions. All scores for discontinued tests are reportable for 10 years from the date the test was taken. Consult the Test Requirements table for specific score requirements.
ETS is offering several additional tests in a computer-delivered format that will be introduced throughout the testing year. Visit Test Centers and Dates to find testing centers near you. For tests available in both formats (paper and computer), the computer-delivered versions cover the same content as the paper-delivered versions and are scored on the same scale; however, the computer-delivered tests have different test codes.
- English to Speakers of Other Languages (5361) — February 2014*
- Special Education: Preschool/Early Childhood (5691) — July 2014

Officials from Atlanta Gas Light met with the public on Tuesday night to discuss the controversial regulator station that the company is building in DeKalb-Peachtree Airport's flight path.
The event was held at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Clairmont Road.
In a story first reported here on Patch, AGL is replacing portions of its so-called Eastside Pipeline. It is also building a gas regulator pipeline station directly in DeKalb-Peachtree Airport's flight path, which has some residents worried about potential public safety issues.
"It's an interesting land-use conflict," State Representative Mary Margaret Oliver told Patch. "I'm glad there's a discussion going on, but people are unhappy for a reason. Safety issues are relevant."
AGL is constructing the gas regulator station near the intersection of Clairmont Road and Tanglewood Circle.
While AGL spokespersons say the station and pipeline are safe, some local residents say the company has not been forthcoming about addressing the concerns of local residents.
Ashford Park Civic Association board member Erica Mymudes said, "you know when everyone keeps saying 'it's great, it's great,' then you know it's not great."
They also cite recent attacks on similar gas regulator stations in other parts of the nation. Last summer, a man attempted to blow up a Plano, Texas, gas regulator station, which led some residents to question the safety of such facilities. A pipeline safety expert later said that the explosion could have resulted in a deadly neighborhood catastrophe.

Fighting The Pseudonym Cyberwar
By editor
The Department of Justice plans to tighten current laws regarding websites' terms of service conditions. That means if you press that "Agree" button on websites, you better mean it. Some say broadening the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act could even make using a pseudonym on social media outlets a felony. Weekends on All Things Considered guest host host Laura Sullivan talks with Orin Kerr, a professor at George Washington University Law School, about how the government can strengthen the Internet's defenses against cyber warfare while keeping the law reasonable.

LINCOLN — Nebraska won't face the Big Ten's reigning champion during the 2014 regular season, but it will play two neutral site games against another College World Series participant.
The Huskers released their 2014 schedule on Monday, a slate that's not as challenging as last year's but one that coach Darin Erstad hopes will rank among the top 50 toughest nationally.
Nebraska hosts St. John's, UNLV and UC Irvine for weekend home series, while playing midweek contests against Creighton, Kansas State, Arkansas and Wichita State. The Huskers will start the season at two neutral site tournaments — both of which feature Oregon State, which reached the CWS last year.
"We're going to get challenged right out of the gate," Erstad told reporters a few weeks ago. "We're going to have to play very well and be ready to go."
The Huskers' started 0-7 and never made it back over .500 last year as they struggled to gain confidence against talented opponents away from home.
The competition level will drop a bit in 2014, though. There will be 27 home games (as opposed to the 21 scheduled last year). And Nebraska won't have to play Indiana in the regular season — the Hoosiers will be the presumed Big Ten favorite this spring after reaching the CWS last June.
But with a young team, every week will be difficult, Erstad said.
"It's definitely going to be challenging," he said.
The Huskers will also play two games against the University of Nebraska at Omaha this season — one in Lincoln (April 16) and one at Werner Park (April 30).
Edrington out with ACL injury
Sophomore shortstop Wes Edrington will miss extensive time after tearing his ACL during fall practice.
Edrington hit .203 in 26 games during his first year with the Huskers.
Also out for this week's Red-White scrimmage at Haymarket Park: Tanner Lubach (hip), Taylor Doggett (elbow) and Kyle Kubat.
The staff wanted to be cautious with Kubat after the junior lefty was plagued by arm soreness to start last season. Same approach with junior Aaron Bummer, who was named the starting pitcher for the East squad in the Cape Cod League All-Star game.
But Bummer told Erstad he wanted to pitch this week. "I've left it up to him," Erstad said.
Erstad tries difficult approach
Erstad said he's managed the fall practice season a bit differently with 18 newcomers on the roster.
He's been trying to put players in specific situations and he's created scenarios just to see certain matchups. Anything to get a clear evaluation to use next spring.
It's part of the reason the Huskers waited until Thursday to draft their teams for this week's scrimmage.
The past two seasons they were divided into separate squads either at the start of fall or midway through. But this year, Erstad wanted to control the lineups to test his guys as long as he could.
"It's been fun putting together those different combinations," Erstad said. "I just keep an open mind."

Nats lose Rosenbaum, Kobernus
Dec 6, 2012, 4:04 PM EDT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Having spent the better portion of their history swiping minor leaguers from other, more talent-laden organizations through the Rule 5 draft, the Nationals now are finding out what it's like to have their own prospects plucked away.
The Nationals lost two players this morning in the major-league portion of the annual event that closes the Winter Meetings: left-hander Danny Rosenbaum (who went to the Rockies) and second baseman Jeff Kobernus (who went to the Red Sox).
The Nationals then lost left-hander Jack McGeary (Red Sox) and right-hander Hector Nelo (Dodgers) during the Class AAA portion of the draft.
The club didn't select anyone in any of the draft's three rounds.
Though neither was expected to have a significant impact on the Nationals' big-league roster next season, Rosenbaum and Kobernus each were highly regarded in the organization and could have been needed for depth in the next year or two.
"You set your rosters and you know you're always taking chances on losing any of your prospects," assistant general manager BryanRead more »

Illness, injury, and uncertain form create a wide-open la Primavera.
By Joe Lindsey
Saturday is the first of cycling's five "Monuments," or great one-day races: Milan-San Remo.
Known as la Primavera as it is the traditional start of big-time racing, M-SR is one of the most prestigious and sought-after palmares a rider can have on his resume.
It can confirm an ascendant career (in 1966, a precocious second-year pro named Eddy Merckx took the win and would go on to win six more times) or serve to confirm it—last year Australian Matt Goss was considered something of a surprise winner despite a number of race victories in his career. This year he'll lead the GreenEdge team in hopes of a repeat.
It's also a dinosaur of sorts. At just under 300 kilometers long, it's a throwback to the days when the Tour de France regularly featured 300km stages and riders unapologetically took the train after dark only to start again the next day.
UCI rules limit length for even the mightiest one-day events to 260km. (This is the source of recent angst over the route of Paris-Roubaix, which sits at 257.5km for the 2012 edition but is battling a possible re-route around a fuel depot that has been declared a no-event zone by local authorities.) But Milan-San Remo gets an exception.
Historically, that has also meant that most riders with M-SR aspirations race the Tirreno-Adriatico stage race just before. T-A regularly includes a long M-SR-style prep stage. This year it was the massive Stage 4, an eight-hour, 251km odyssey won by Peter Sagan in a dramatic sprint atop a steep climb in Chieti.
It's easy to look at Tirreno-Adriatico to handicap the field for Milan-San Remo. But to do so would overlook a few other dangerous characters who might play in the finale.
Here's a look at a few of my favorites, dark horses, and an outside factor that might influence the race.
Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale): Sagan is an easy pick here, as he was won the monster fourth stage of Tirreno-Adriatico. Sagan is a unique talent: He can climb, as he showed on the T-A stage to Chieti, where he duked it out with Danilo Di Luca and Roman Krueziger, among others. And he can sprint, as he's shown many times. He's got flying form right now. It's too early to tell, but he could be poised for the kind of season Philippe Gilbert had last year.
The question is, how cohesive is his team right now after Tirreno? Despite two stage wins and the overall, there was tension between Sagan and teammate Vincenzo Nibali, who also has M-SR hopes. They form a one-two punch few teams can match, but it all depends on if they work with or against each other.
Heinrich Haussler (Garmin-Barracuda): Tyler Farrar is Garmin's top sprinter but Haussler, who nearly won here in 2009, is my pick from this team. He's sprinting fantastically right now, and he's got both the ability to make it over the hills and the experience of what it takes for a top finish here. After a full, injury-free season in 2011, he's looking like he might regain the form he had in 2009.
Matt Goss (GreenEdge): I include Gossy here because of his win last year. He's got a strong team behind him with Stuart O'Grady to keep him out of trouble and Simon Gerrans in the pocket to patrol any attacks and limit GreenEdge's responsibility to set the pace in the pack. But he bailed out of Tirreno with illness, and other than leading T-A after GreenEdge won the opening team time trial, his results have been slim this year.
Mark Cavendish (Sky): Cav also DNF'd at Tirreno, but not from illness; it was planned, and he won a stage there to confirm his form. Sky goes incredibly deep. They've got Edvald Boasson Hagen, Juan Antonio Flecha, Thomas Lovqvist and Bernie Eisel. Any of those guys on a good day could win this race. And as Cav showed at Tirreno when he was not having a good day and told the team to work for Boasson Hagen (who then won the stage), if he's not feeling well, he'll hand over the lead to someone who is.
Oscar Freire (Katusha): Of the favorites, Freire is arguably the most dangerous. He's won this race three times. He's got good form despite being one of the older racers in the pack; when Freire is good he can have a top gear that almost no one else can match. And he's got a secret weapon of sorts in Katusha adviser Erik Zabel, a four-time winner of Milan-San Remo whose encyclopedic knowledge of the race is matched by no one. Some teams have a soigneur or bus driver scout the finish of races that are likely to end in sprints; Zabel walks the last 2km himself, checking everything from barrier position to wind. Ain't no bus driver ever won Milan-San Remo.

When your Wikipedia profile lists your occupation as "explorer", you're probably not afraid of a little adventure.
In honor of Adventure Month and Black History Month, we want to make sure you know about the story of Matthew Henson, likely the first man to step foot on the North Pole.
Henson was born in Maryland and was just a child when his parents died. He lived with his Uncle until the age of twelve when he took off on his first adventure as a "cabin boy" on a merchant ship.
In 1909, Henson was recruited to join Robert Peary's eighth attempt to reach the North Pole. Peary couldn't hike the last leg of the trip, but sent Henson on as an advanced scout for the expedition with Peary following in a dog sled.
It was Henson who planted the American Flag at the North Pole.
"I think I'm the first man to sit on top of the world," he said.
However, upon returning from their journey Peary received the majority of accolades for the journey for thirty years. It wasn't until 1944 that he received recognition from the White House.
At STA Travel, we salute Mr. Henson, a true adventurer.

Apple to unveil the new Tablet on Jan 27. Will it be a publishing game-changer?
Share this post:
Fox News is reporting that Apple will show off their much-anticipated Tablet device (or iTablet as I like to call it) at a January 27th event in San Francisco. I, for one, can hardly wait.
It was nine years ago this month when Apple launched its iTunes application and marketplace, which in turn revolutionized the music landscape forever. Back then, who would have guessed that Apple, a hardware and software company, would come to represent the largest marketplace for digital music, with over six billion songs downloaded and over 220 million iPods sold? Now, in hindsight, it looks like a natural fit, where consumers benefit from the synergy of a music store and an integrated music player.
The big question on everyone's mind now is whether Apple can have the same impact on a rapidly transitioning book publishing industry.
If Apple announces the Tablet and if they launch an ebook marketplace, then this will be another game-changer. Sure, Sony was the first mover in this market and the Kindle is the current market leader (with over 1.5M devices sold), but the ebook market–and the ebook/ereader industry as a whole–is still in its infancy. Ebook pricing is all over the map, consumer features aren't fully fleshed out, ebook formats differ, and Digital Rights Management (DRM) varies widely (When I was at Lulu we struggled with DRM till we were blue in the face).
Even more important, the definition of a "book" is changing. In theory, digital devices can make it easier to manage and enjoy text, multimedia, and web-based applications all at the same time. As of now, however, no device manufacturer has created that perfect marriage of technology and content that enhances the book-reading consumer's experience–nor are publishers embracing the creation of this type of content. Apple's Tablet could be the answer to this problem.
I don't know what the future will bring with the Tablet, but it's also very possible that this device will provide significant opportunities for independent authors. In the same way that iTunes enabled indie bands to easily distribute their music to the masses, an "iBooks" marketplace could be a wonderful solution for author-direct publishing and retail distribution. Bring it on, I say!
Whatever happens with this new product, it'll be exciting to watch how consumers–and book lovers like you and me–respond. As I've said many times before on this blog, I love my Kindle, but right now I don't see why I'd want anything more than a simple text-based black & white ereader. Furthermore, and although it can be convenient, I don't really enjoy reading my Kindle ebooks on my iPhone for extended periods of time. The screen's just a bit too small for me.
The Tablet, however, as an "iPhone on steroids" or as the ebook-reader of tomorrow, may be what I've all been waiting for all along. I just didn't know it.
We'll all know soon enough. It won't be another Newton for sure (here's more on that), but my main concern is that it may be too expensive. What do you think?
Lastly, what I do know is that Apple's entry (and significant investment I'm sure) into ebooks will further legitimize the market. Whether you read them or not, ebooks are here to stay, and todays forward-thinking author should include ebooks as part of their overall publishing and marketing strategy. The truth is that there's never been a better time to be an author, and whether you're publishing your fifth book or your first, or whether you're publishing a print book or an ebook, these new technologies can help you get your book out the door quickly and efficiently. But keep in mind that publishing is now the easy part of a larger journey. Identifying, finding, influencing, growing, and, most importantly–selling to your audience–now that's the hard part.
There's no doubt that the traditional world of publishing is undergoing radical disruption, but don't let these industry changes get in the way of your publishing dreams. Better yet, take advantage of them and make 2010 your most successful year yet!
Until next time, keep publishing–

The pulse of the 2009-10 school year in Washoe County really jumpstarted in February 2009 when former Superintendent Paul Dugan announced his retirement. The unexpected news immediately set the stage for the reform-minded Board of Trustees to bring in new leadership that would try to guide the region's schools to better reflect the branding effort of a "World Class School District."
After an involved search process that took two rounds of interviews with candidates from across the nation, trustees hired Dr. Heath Morrison from Maryland. Morrison brought with him an aggressive entry plan and last week he shared the first year's results of that plan at Truckee Meadows Tomorrow's quarterly meeting. Not only has he lived up to his promise to visit all 102 school sites and is making his rounds again, he's visited more than 2,900 members of the community either individually or via government agencies and special interest groups and has made more than 175 public presentations. Town hall meetings are more frequent and overall attendance is up.
The numbers are impressive, but even more so is the sense that the community is finally starting to feel engaged about a school district that had a reputation for not being open with parents and stakeholders.
Morrison began with a running start, anxious to show that getting kids excited about education is a priority. He implemented a Door-to-Door for Student Achievement walk in September to bring students who didn't register for the 2009-10 year back to school. Because of the effort, many students chose to return to campus to continue their educations. Some students said they feared going back to school because they were being bullied. Administrators assured students they would work to create a safer environment.
District staff held its first Data Summit in November to assess the true trends in student achievement and how to fill the gaps in rigor and curriculum. Morrison is a self-proclaimed fan of studying the numbers and he has demonstrated all year that without understanding test scores and dropout rates, the district has no clear path to improvement.
More serious numbers were released to the press less than two weeks later. The results of the 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey showed several alarming social patterns, including increased thoughts or attempts of suicide, more sexual activity and lifetime use of marijuana among teens. Morrison put out a call to action to community groups to help intervene in these behaviors. So far, at least one such organization, Truckee Meadows Tomorrow, has responded and members have created a Youth Risk Behavior task force to seek out solutions. Kudos to the community and business leaders for acting on very troubling trends.
Changes, however, on multiple levels were to be expected with the incoming of a new leader. An audit in the fall revealed the administration needed to be more effective, many new positions needed to be created and, as Morrison often has said, the right people needed to be put in the right jobs. The first major organizational change came with the creation of a chief academic officer position, which Lisa Noonan filled. A chief performance officer position also was created and was filled by Rick Borba. The change also created six senior officers. Deputy superintendent Pedro Martinez, a candidate for Morrison's position last summer, and Jane Woodburn, chief operating officer, then joined the district's central services staff.
Many good works were accomplished in the fall to eliminate inefficiencies. Morale and commitment to education, which always seemed to be high anyway, appear to be on the rise. Morrison's presence has been a breath of fresh air and he has shown he is dedicated to taking the district to the next level. That dedication is a fine quality to have, considering a brewing budget storm has taken its toll on a district in charge of the education of about 64,000 students.
Read my column in the Tribune next week for the challenges the district faced in the spring semester.

Time again to empty out my mail bag ...
Dear Beth, Appreciated your article on the hospitals purchasing the practices of doctors. It is a deserved knee-jerk reaction on the part of both hospitals and doctors to the prospects of Obamacare. We will now have the practice of medicine by bureaucrats. We are just now beginning to realize what that means. — Norm
Norm, it sure would be simple to blame it all on the president's Affordable Care Act. But this trend's been building for more than a decade. Consider that 40 percent of primary care doctors and 25 percent of specialty physicians are employed by hospitals today compared to 20 percent of primary care docs and 5 percent of specialists in 2000. Obamacare is a motivator, but this is about hospitals looking for another way to feed their bottom lines.
Dear Beth, Thanks for the Sunday story. Florida Hospital just bought my cardio clinic. Not sure I can afford it. — Louis
Time for you to comparison shop, Louis. Call up your clinic and find out the price for your next visit or procedure, then log in to your insurance Web site and see if you can do better.
Dear Beth, I feel the more military hardware the law enforcement community acquires, the more likely they are to try and act the part ... I enjoy duck hunting and plan to keep some extra powerful loads of heavy shot. Love to bag one of those dragonflies. I do not collect wildlife for trophies, but I'd certainly hang that thing in my pole barn. — Larry
Or you could simply go to a hobby shop and buy a remote-controlled helicopter that resembles Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings' Draganflyer X6 drones and avoid the expense and possible incarceration from destroying sheriff's property. Demings paid about $50,000 for his pair of flying cameras, but I've seen variations for less than $80. If only we really could take out government waste with a single shot ...
Dear Beth, My wife and I have been attending Casselberry's Food Truck Bazaar since last summer. We have enjoyed it so much that we've turned it into a monthly meeting of our circle of friends. This tradition has a somber side to it, though, in that we live in Sanford, as do most of our friends. We attempted to do the same thing when the food trucks were in Sanford, but having to sit in an asphalt parking lot with no bathrooms and not being able to carry on a conversation over the noise of the truck's generators made meeting there less than satisfying. I am proud to call Sanford my home, but it's sad that our community doesn't have the vision that Casselberry shows. — Gary
Location, location, location! Eventually city planners and local pols in our suburbs will understand that lake + tree-shaded green space + sidewalks = good; while sea of asphalt = bad.
Dear Beth, Thank you for your article addressing the glaring need for low cost dental care for children and Florida's lack of attention to this issue. As a licensed clinical social worker I constantly see the frustration on the faces and in the voices of adults who are merely seeking relief from pain caused by dental problems for themselves as well as their children. — Mark
Now let's hold the Legislature's feet to the fire and make sure they fix the Medicaid billing glitch this year that will allow dental hygienists to bring preventive care like dental sealants and screenings to more schools.
Dear Beth, If I had a Tory Burch handbag I may be tempted to hit you with it! — Anonymous
Anonymous, you weren't the only one angry that I called some parents for their cattiness in the debate over school rezoning in Seminole County. I'm practicing my duck and cover for the next meeting.

Airich and Brisson Named Preseason All-PBC
AUGUSTA, GA – The Peach Belt Conference has
announced the 2009 preseason baseball All-Conference team and North
Georgia's Andre Airich and Craig Brisson were named to the
team. The all-conference squad is administered and voted on by the
leagues sports information directors.
The preseason team is diverse with players from eight different schools on the team. Only Francis Marion, North Georgia and GCSU placed more than one player on the squad.
Andre Airich received a Rawlings/ABCA Gold Glove award for his play at third base for North Georgia. The junior hit .339 with five home runs and 43 RBIs to go with 81 total hits and 18 doubles. Airich committed only one error in the final 13 NGCSU games, which included their PBC Tournament Championship and the team's first appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
Craig Brisson was named PBC All-Conference and All-Region for North Georgia in 2008. The junior outfielder started in all 62 games for the Saints, hitting .356 with eight home runs and 45 RBIs. He led the team with 98 hits and 22 doubles while stealing 24 bases and drawing 31 walks.
The Saints are ranked 17th nationally in the ABCA Division II preseason poll and were picked to finish second in the Peach Belt Conference according to the preseason coaches poll released earlier this week.

The SRC will be closed for the Easter Weekend, on Friday 18th April and Monday 21st April. This includes the Halls to Campus Minibuses. All services will reopen on Tuesday 22nd April.
Watch this video to see the SRC President, Jess McGrellis and two of the Vice Presidents, Louise Graham & Oli Coombs, quiz the Principal on various relevant issues, similar to those the SRC discuss with him on a regular basis. Topics included the current staff strikes over pay settlements, pressure on teaching & social space across campus, UK Immigration policy and the diversity of the University Senior Management Group. (more…)
GUSRC are disappointed to see that Sandra White MSP has told Housing Minister Margaret Burgess that there are too many student flats in the West End. In an article published by the Evening Times on the 8th April, Ms White was quoted: "In my constituency, some areas are in danger of losing what are age old communities and in danger of becoming student villages" and was reported to have asked the Housing Minister "what action the Scottish Government was taking to protect communities from over provision of student housing". Read on for GUSRC's response. (more…)
This year was another incredible year for our volunteers and affiliated of clubs/societies. As we stand we have over 1,000 registered volunteers and over 250 affiliated societies at the University. Which is great to see so many students having an opportunity to get involved and develop skills outwit their degree. This also meant that there is a huge pool for nominations to come from, which made our decision so much more difficult. We received over 60 nominations this year, with the positions of Most Dedicated Member and Best New Society leaving us with some tough decisions to make. For photos from the event and a little blurb as to why each winner was chosen check out the VCS Awards 2014 page.
The STAs 2013/14 were a great success, with entertainment from Choral Stimulation and awards presented by many SRC Council members. We received around 750 nominations, nominating 354 unique staff across the University. This gave the SRC panel who picked the shortlists and winners an incredibly tough job. For photos of the event as well as the full list of those who were shortlisted and the eventual winners, please check out the Student Teaching Awards 2013-14 page.

Immune System Changes Hiv To Aids
Here's a taste of what TheBody.com has to offer on this topic:
Get the Facts
How HIV Damages the Immune SystemIntroduction The basic structure of HIV is similar to that of other viruses (Figure 1 ). HIV has a core of genetic material surrounded by a protective sheath, called a capsid . The genetic material in the core is RNA (ribonucleic acid), which contains the information that the virus needs in order to replicate (make more copies of itself) and perform other functions. You can think of RNA as the set of rules the virus follows in order to...

The BMW R1200C is a Harley-Davidson rival with German engineering. Like most cruisers, it sells on looks – this one had a part in a Bond movie too. Power is pretty modest considering the 1200cc engine but it's enough. Dynamically it's better than many cruisers thanks to quality engineering and light(ish) weight.

Get the message: Don't text and drive
By Linda Girardi For The Beacon-News September 19, 2012 6:24PM
Illinois Representative Linda Chapa LaVia (left) and Illinois Senator Linda Holmes urge drivers to promise not to text while driving during a "No Text on Board Pledge Day" at the AT&T store on East New York Street in Aurora on Wednesday, September 19, 2012. | Steven Buyansky~Sun-Times Media

So far in 2012:
Aurora police have issued 41 tickets and 16 warnings for texting while driving.
Oswego police have issued 12 warnings and one ticket for texting while driving.
Geneva police have issued a combined 20 tickets or warnings. Geneva police also have issued 53 tickets or warnings for use of a cell phone in a school or construction zone.
According to studies by AT&T and other recent research:
Half of all teenagers send between 21 and 70 text messages a day.
Teens expect a reply to a text message within five minutes.
43 percent of young people admit to texting while driving, even though 97 percent of them know it is dangerous.
Texting takes a person's eyes off the road for an average of 5 seconds.
Those who do text and drive are 23 times more likely to be involved in a traffic crash.

AURORA — State Sen. Linda Holmes paused for a moment at the AT&T store on East New York Street Wednesday afternoon to respond to a text message.
"This is my life," she said, adding, "I am not driving."
Holmes and her fellow Aurora Democrat, State Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia, partnered with wireless provider AT&T Wednesday to raise public awareness about the dangers of text messaging while behind the driver's wheel.
AT&T worked through the Illinois Municipal League in receiving the endorsement from several cities — among them Aurora, North Aurora and Batavia — which adopted proclamations declaring Wednesday as "No Text On Board" day.
Holmes said lawmakers have passed legislation that prohibits texting while driving, but they are still constantly addressing problems associated with distracted driving.
"It is difficult for us who make the drive to and from Springfield," because of so many calls and texts, Holmes said. "I have learned to use my head phone."
Chapa LaVia said it is important for her to support the initiative as a lawmaker — and as the mother of an almost-teen driver. "My daughter will nudge me when I am texting," she said.
Chapa LaVia said the state should continue to partner with AT&T on ways to translate the dangers of texting and driving into the driver's education curriculum in the state.
The Aurora lawmaker said she has seen far more graphic educational videos in European countries than those in the United States, and she supports showing the more grisly films.
"We get push back here because we don't want our kids to see it. Well, they need to see what could happen," Chapa LaVia said.
AT&T Illinois spokesman Valerie Bruggeman said text messaging-related auto crashes have become an epidemic, with the more than 100,000 collisions nationwide each year, according to the National Safety Council.
"Taking your eyes off the road is like driving blind-folded down a football field," Bruggeman said.
Aurora Police Cmdr. Kristen Ziman said the department conducts traffic details looking for distracted drivers.
"Some drivers will admit to texting and some people will deny it with the phone beside them," she said.
"It's a wonderful way to communicate but not when you are operating a piece of machinery that is 4,500 pounds and traveling at roughly 40 miles an hour," Ziman said.
In voting for Batavia's "No Text On Board" resolution this week, Alderman Victor Dietz noted, "It's a worthwhile safety effort for young people — and not so young people."
Many young celebrities have joined the no-texting-while-driving cause. At an event this month at Paramount Studios in California, Joe, Kevin and Nick Jonas, Kat Graham, Jordin Sparks, Christian Serratos, Diego Boneta and R.J. Mitte all took the pledge not to text and drive.

PhpPeanuts is a framework for developing database-backed applications in PHP. Rather than building an application from the bottom up, you initially only build domain model classes in which you specify properties, relationships, and database table names in metadata. The framework dynamically scaffolds getters and setters, persistency, navigation over relations, and input and delete validation. The abstract user interface instantly offers a rich set of pages for searching, browsing, drilling down, editing and reporting over your domain model. From there on you extend and refine both the domain model and the user interface to make it what you want by defining specialization classes and overriding inherited methods.

Archipel is a solution to manage and supervise virtual machines. No matter if you have a few locally on your computer or thousands through data centers, Archipel is a central solution to manage them all. You can use all libvirt-supported virtualization engines like KVM, Xen, OpenVZ, or VMWare. You can perform all basic virtualization commands and many other things like live migration, VMCasts, packages, etc. Archipel uses XMPP for all communication. There is no Web service or custom protocol. You just need at least one XMPP server, like eJabberd, to start playing with it. This allows Archipel to work completely in real time. You never have to refresh the user interface. You'll be notified as soon as something happens. You can even use your favorite chat clients to command your infrastructure. You can open a chat conversation with your virtual machine and say things like "How are you today?" or "Hey, please reboot."
Qute is a text editor with Markdown and TeX support. It offers per-paragraph previews so users can switch between editing the source and viewing a rich text rendering with typeset formulas for each paragraph separately. To make looking at a single text file for hours appealing, Qute offers switchable themes with subtle background images and font effects and includes a couple of great Open Source fonts which are a joy to work with. Qute's user interface is distraction-free and offers a full-screen mode. In this sense, it is similar to such great editors as WriteRoom, Dark Room, and WriteMonkey. As far as the themes are concerned, however, Qute is far more adventurous. Qute reads and writes plain text files using the Markdown markup language for rich text formatting and TeX syntax for formulas. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines. While it is possible to edit arbitrary text files with Qute, editing (for example) source code is not what Qute is intended for. Instead, Qute is a tool for writing prose. Qute is built using Web technologies. In particular, it uses Chromeless, Showdown, and MathJax.

Zach McAllister didn't appear out of nowhere for the Indians last September at U.S. Cellular Field. He was making his 25th big-league start, but he looked too good to have a 4.56 ERA.
Turns out the six strong innings McAllister threw against the White Sox finishing up 2012 were no mirage. McAllister is pitching like a guy who has turned the corner, and he's on a team that has done the same thing.
With Terry Francona as manager, Sandy Alomar Jr. as bench coach and Brad Mills as the third base coach, the Indians have set a course that gives them the look of a serious contender in the American League Central for a long time.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
The Indians' starting pitching isn't great. Far from it. But Justin Masterson and McAllister are turning into a 1-2 combination that should provide time for Trevor Bauer to develop and for general manager Chris Antonetti to import an arm better than Ubaldo Jimenez, the failed 2011 addition.
Good first halves are nothing new for the Indians. But with additions such as Francona, Mark Reynolds and Nick Swisher, along with the development of Masterson and McAllister, these aren't the same Indians that faded after 47-42 and 44-41 records at the All-Star break the last two seasons.
You could see their fade coming a year ago.
While they were only three games behind the White Sox in a tepid Central race as the Tigers ran in place, they had a minus-29 run differential in the first half. That ranked 10th in the AL, and their record would slide from seventh best to second worst during the 24-53 nightmare after the All-Star break.
This time around, it appears they are built to last as wild-card contenders, if not a serious threat to the Tigers. They entered the weekend with a plus-28 run differential, behind only the Tigers and Rangers in the AL. They had winning records at home and on the road and were on pace to top 90 victories with ease.
Significantly, a manager who has won two World Series is their guide. Francona's standing in the game was clear when he returned to Fenway Park on Thursday night. He was given a scoreboard greeting that read "Welcome back to our old friend.''
So much for all the antipathy that has gone in other directions since Cubs President Theo Epstein and he left after the Red Sox's stunning September collapse in 2011.
Francona's teams don't back down from challenges. His 2004 Red Sox became the first major league team to recover from a 3-0 deficit in a playoff series, and his '07 Red Sox won seven games in a row after falling behind the Indians 3-1 in the ALCS.
The Indians have been at their best this season against their toughest competition. They already have faced eight Cy Young winners, and they have beaten all of them except Jake Peavy.
Justin Verlander needed run support to get an 11-7 victory Wednesday after the Indians beat the Tigers ace 7-6 earlier in May. Toss in victories over R.A. Dickey, David Price, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Bartolo Colon and Felix Hernandez, and the Indians have gone 7-2 against Cy Young winners.
Here's the most impressive stat: The Indians have hung that Who's Who of starters with a combined 8.29 ERA in those nine starts, becoming the first team ever to beat seven Cy Young winners before June.
"We've been able to do that because we all have a good approach,'' outfielder Michael Brantley said. "We make those guys work hard and throw a lot of pitches."
The Indians have used eight starting pitchers, who have combined for a 4.52 ERA. Scott Kazmir is getting a chance to establish himself, and Daisuke Matsuzaka waits in the wings for a shot this summer.
Antonetti could be in the market for Matt Garza or even Peavy two months from now. It's going to be an interesting ride.
Welcome back: Chicagoan Neal Cotts appeared blocked by the other lefties in the Rangers' bullpen, but GM Jon Daniels decided he was throwing too well to overlook. He retired nine of the 10 hitters he faced Tuesday and Wednesday, making an impressive comeback after being out of the big leagues for four seasons.
Cotts last pitched with the Cubs on May 25, 2009, and since then has undergone Tommy John surgery and three procedures on his hip. His low point came when the Yankees signed him before the 2012 season and then voided his contract based on a spring training physical.
He could have quit then, but the Rangers signed him based on reports from Chicago-based scout Scot Engler, who had watched him work out. A.J. Pierzynski caught Cotts, just like he had in the 2005 World Series.

I'm very pleased with this decision. He has finally got the national team playing the style of technical soccer that will enable this country to finally compete internationally with anyone. I'm pleased too with the job Tab Ramos is doing. His team too plays an entertaining style that will develop the skills, understanding and teamwork necessary to compete at a world class level. The US can do it, we just need to right approach and I believe the national organization has moved in the right direction.
Klinsmann signs 4-year extension with U.S. Soccer, also becomes technical director
The U.S. Soccer Federation on Thursday made a massive commitment to national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann, extending his contract by four years through the 2018 World Cup and making him technical director, with oversight of the country's youth national teams and player development.
Hired in the summer of 2011, Klinsmann was earning an annual base salary of $2.5 million. The terms of his new contract weren't disclosed. The U.S. has gone 27-10-7 under Klinsmann and enjoyed a fantastic 2013 campaign, during which the Americans finished first in the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying tournament and the Gold Cup (the regional championship).
"One of the reasons we hired Jurgen as our head coach was to advance the program forward and we've seen the initial stages of that happening on the field and also off the field in various areas," U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati said. "In the past two years he has built a strong foundation from the senior team down to the youth teams and we want to continue to build upon that success."
Klinsmann, 49, told SI.com's Grant Wahl in October that he was interested in continuing his work beyond next summer's World Cup in Brazil. But rumors persisted that Klinsmann would consider staying only if he was offered a new deal before the tournament. He now has that commitment.
"I am very fortunate to continue the work we started more than two and half years ago," Klinsmann said Thursday. "It's exciting to see the progress we have made, and we continue to make improvements on all fronts. The role of Technical Director is a huge challenge and also a huge opportunity as we look to keep connecting the dots to the youth national teams, coaching education, the Development Academy and the grassroots efforts in this country. These are fascinating topics and I am excited work with so many talented people and hear fresh ideas. For sure it means more work, but also many more fulfilling opportunities."
a good move for US soccer.
this ought to work. Otherwise, nothing else will. he is a perfect for the job as they come; he lives here, he likes it and he wants to get it done...
Outstanding news. Can't wait to see what they do against the best in Brazil next year.
This is good news.

Staff-recommended reading from the
KPL catalog.
Ever wonder what a day in the life of a goldfish is like? Well, wonder no longer. Michgan author Devin Scillian's brilliant book, Memoirs of a Goldfish (excellently illustrated by Tim Bowers), takes you through not only a day but several days for an adorable little goldfish. He gets curious, grumpy, lonely, excited, and nervous among many other things. He finds friends, love, and probably himself. I like him and so will you! (P.S. Tell all your friends about him, too, since this book is the Michigan Reads! title for 2011!)

text: Tub spouts come in two general varieties: press-on, and screw-on. Each of them needs the pipe or fitting to be a fairly specific length beyond the finished wall. When the pipe was installed, the wall probably didn't have the finished surface, so it is risky cutting the pipe off. So, assuming you've got a spout that needs to be screwed on, you'd either attach a threaded coupling onto the stub by solder, or tear into the wall and replace with a drop ear el, then install a brass nipple, or get a push-on spout. If you paid the plumber for a finished install, he should come back to finish up and can do what is necessary. If you paid only for a rough-in and didn't specify the type of spout, he prepped it for a push-on one. Should still work for a screw on one, though. You need to measure carefully as you'll almost certainly have to cut the stub off if you want the length from the wall to be exact once the fitting is soldered on.

The Aprilia RX50 has the looks of a proper enduro bike, but none of the performance. Restricted, it'll struggle to break 30mph, and de-restricted (illegal for 16 year-olds) it'll top 50 eventually. The chassis will cope with gentle off-roading, but ride it harder and the RX50 will be out of its depth.
