This was taken on a Saturday night and there was dozens of people walking around this "festive" area. The long exposure times somehow made most of the people disappear. The San Diego Convention center is aross the railroad tracks and Petco Park is around the corner.
The Quarter is home to many events and festivals, including Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp, Taste of Gaslamp and ShamROCK, a St. Patrick's Day event. PETCO Park, home of the San Diego Padres is located one block away in downtown San Diego's East Village. Croce's Restaurant & Jazz Bar, named after famous singer Jim Croce, is also located in the Quarter. The Gaslamp Quarter is a 16 1/2 block historical neighborhood in downtown San Diego, California. Its main period of development began in 1867, when Alonzo Horton bought the land in hopes of creating a new city center closer to the bay, and chose 5th Avenue as its main street. After a period of urban decay, the neighborhood underwent urban renewal in the 1980s and 1990s, and is today an energetic business and entertainment district. The Gaslamp Quarter, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, extends from Broadway to Harbor Drive, and from 4th to 6th Avenue, covering 16 1/2 blocks. It includes 94 historic buildings, most of which were constructed in the Victorian Era, and are still in use with active tenants including 150 restaurants, shops and nightclubs.

I'm a long time linux user, I installed my first distro in 1994, it was slackware and required a bunch of floppies and was a fairly painful process. Over the years, I migrated from slackware to redhat and finally settled on Ubuntu as my "daily driver". Every computer in our house (a server, three laptops, and two netbooks) is currently funning a flavor of Ubuntu and I decided to give setting up my work machine (macbook pro) with Ubuntu. The big reason I like Ubuntu is that they are doing a good job of making an operating system (OS) that finds a great balance between "you can do anything you want" and "I just want it to work". Ubuntu has thousands of free software packages that are tested and verified to work that will install with the click of a button. Windows and OSX are so far behind in this regard as to not even be contenders. While there is a little more technical knowledge necessary to get Ubuntu up and running, it typically has so many rewards in the richness of free software that it vastly outweighs the negatives.
I downloaded ubuntu 12.04 LTS, burned the cd, then against all warning and my better judgement, started the install on a train ride home (about 1 hour 20). Note, the installer tells you to be "plugged in", but like a kid with a new toy on Christmas day, I just couldn't wait. The install didn't quite finish, so I closed the lid, a little disappointed, and thinking I was certainly going to be in for an adventure the next morning (perhaps even having to reload my entire machine). The next morning, while waiting for the train, I opened the lid of my mac and unbelievably, the install continued where it left off! One thing I will note is that I did have a wireless internet connection by tethering with my cell phone. Also, for non computer geeks, I would not recommend this technique at home... recovering a machine from a failed OS install can be a horribly frustrating activity and is not recommended for the faint at heart. My recommendation is, if the installer tells you to do it while plugged in, DO IT! That having been said, Kudos to the installer team, I was frankly amazed.
After the install finished, I poked around a little and while the display seems a little less smooth, my machine seems to be functioning well. I will note a couple of gotchas I'm working through right now:
Two finger scroll doesn't work out of the box.
Going to mouse preferences and selecting "two finger scroll" enabled this. I'm not sure why this isn't the default, maybe windows trackpads don't do this out of the box and it was thought it would be confusing?
The trackpad registers touches unexpectedly
This is a beef I've had with Ubuntu for a while on other laptops, the track pad doesn't seem to disable quickly enough when I'm typing and occasionally my mouse pointer will find it's way to the top of my screen. In perusing the documentation, it appears there are some workarounds to make this less of a problem... I'll continue to investigate.
Gwibber seems broken when hooking to facebook
When hooking Gwibber to my facebook account, it seems to not work. There is a bug reported and confirmed right now and I can only assume it will be fixed shortly. Frankly as this capability didn't exist with my Mac (without installing more software) I'm not going to mark it as a serious problem, but I hope to get this working soon.
In my first hour of use (I'm writing this post in ubuntu on my mac on the train right now)l these are the only minor issues I've noted. For any self respecting linux user who really likes Mac hardware, I'm going to highly recommend this as the time to make the switch.
More to follow...

Affirming a disjunct
For more information, see the Wikipedia article:
Affirming a disjunct is a form of logical fallacy where an alternative possibility is rejected because the first is accepted, even if both are accurate. The problem with this fallacy is typically an underlying misunderstanding that establishes false mutual exclusivity and/or a false dichotomy.
Formal Construction[edit]
- A or B
- Therefore, it's not B
- Evolution
- Choice of Religion
- Either God is the Muslim god or he is the Christian god.
- God is the Christian god
- Thus, God is not the Muslim god
- Choice of God or Evolution
- Either God created animals or they evolved over time
- God created animals
- Thus, Evolution is false
Ways to Avoid Affirming a Disjunct[edit]
Make sure that the two initial possibilities are in fact mutually exclusive. Try to think of ways that both - or neither - could be true, and thus ways that the argument could be invalid.

M.O.D. A Triple Opera
A performance for anyone who has discovered that the art of opera did not end with Verdi or Puccini, or anyone who is interested in finding this out themselves.
Opens 7 February at the Göteborg Opera Small Stage
Performed in Skövde in March
Music theatre by Peter Maxwell Davies
This song cycle, a contemporary classic of vocal fireworks, is a musical portrait of England's King George III(1760-1820), known as 'The Mad King'. The songs, containing famous quotes by King George III and musical quotes from Handel's Messiah, is a desperate musical monologue which the King performs before his caged birds, here in the shape of instruments. The existence of the birds was the text writer's idea, for which he received inspiration from the King's organ.
Director Maria Larsdotter-Spertina
As the King, Torgny Sporsén
Dramatic cantata by Benjamin Britten
The cantata Phaedra, Benjamin Britten's last vocal work was composed for Janet Baker in 1975. As in the myth, it is about people consumed with and ruined by their passions. The Phaedra character is one of many Britten characters who share the role as outsiders in society. Phaedra, married to Theseus, falls in love with her stepson and becomes involved with him, with disastrous consequences. When writing this work, Britten found inspiration in Baroque cantatas, which can be observed in the harpsichord accompanying the recitation. The lyrics, written by Britten himself are based on the Racine play.
Director Lars-Eric Brossner
As Phaedra, Pia Svorono
Mono drama in one act by Arnold Schoenberg
A woman is waiting for her lover in a forest. Filled with apprehensions she begins searching for him. She goes through every emotion, from worry to jealousy and despair, in the end stumbling over his dead body. He has been murdered, but by whom?
Director Eva Ingemarsson
As the woman, Grith Fjeldmose
For all three operas:
Conductor Finn Rosengren
Set & Costume Design Monika Frelin
Lighting Anna Wemmert Clausen
Actor Håkan Palm
Musicians from the Göteborg Opera Orchestra

The next time an art lover heads to the Germantown Performing Arts Centre to take in a world music concert, watch a ballet or enjoy any of the host of other acts lined up for GPAC's new season, they'll be doing so inside the Duncan Williams Performance Hall.
Memphis-based investment firm Duncan-Williams Inc. has made a contribution to GPAC that includes naming rights for the main space that encompasses the venue's main stage area. Fittingly, that's where word of the renaming was presented to GPAC supporters this week – at an intimate gathering where attendees mingled on the main stage itself.
GPAC executive director Paul Chandler unveiled the Duncan-Williams partnership Tuesday, March 19, along with details of the venue's new season, a 16-performance lineup that includes ballet, jazz, modern dance, bluegrass, gospel and other special events.
Among those special events, Chandler's wife is noted chef and cookbook author Jennifer Chandler, and he acknowledged her influence in the creation of a food and wine festival happening in September that the GPAC head said would launch each new season for the venue.
Then, of course, there was the naming rights opportunity, which Chandler described as a game-changer for the venue. Chandler recalled some advice he'd heard that dates back to his long stretch in the entertainment business, including as a founding partner of Resource Entertainment Group – if you're going to announce a season, he said, make a big deal about it.
"This season was done with a careful analysis of the last 18 years," said Chandler, also noting that GPAC's 20th anniversary is coming up in 2014. "I've also got a few years under my belt about what sells and what people are looking for. The partnership with Duncan-Williams will also allow us to grow and expand and will have a lasting effect on this space."
Duncan-Williams president Duncan Williams was on hand for the event, as was his mother and firm co-chair Carolyn.
"The community is lucky to have these guys here," Williams said of GPAC, before explaining his own firm's wide-ranging investments in civic events and institutions, including sponsorships of the Live at the Garden concert series and of the Indie Memphis Film Festival.
"Anytime we look at sponsoring something we ask, 'Is this something we believe in and is it something that's going to make this community better?'" Williams said. "This was an easy sell. It's in line with everything we do."
GPAC is an 824-seat venue that includes a main stage, intimate black box theater, green room, spacious dressing rooms and a grand lobby for entertaining and assembling. It welcomes 64,000 people each year for performances, educational activities, visual art exhibits and community events.
GPAC provides a full subscription series of performances each season, as well as a rehearsal and performance space for arts groups including the IRIS Orchestra, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra, Opera Memphis, Germantown Symphony Orchestra and the Germantown Chorus.
Also on hand for this week's announcement were Germantown Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy, members of the GPAC Foundation board of directors, Germantown city aldermen, GPAC sponsors and staff and members of the Duncan-Williams marketing team.
Among some of the first events for the upcoming 2013-2014 season are:

Despite three sacks Sunday, the Baltimore pass rush continues to be a work in progress. The box score says that the Ravens took a step in the right direction in rediscovering their pass rush in Sunday's 55-20 victory over the Oakland Raiders. They recorded three sacks in a game for the first time since the season opener, with outside linebacker Paul Kruger (pictured) getting credit for two of them. But on this afternoon, the numbers were slightly misleading. The team's first sack came when statuesque Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer got his concrete feet tangled with right guard Mike Brisiel on a 4th-and-1 play in the first quarter (Palmer toppled over and lay on his back, and it took a two-hand touch to finalize the sack). Even with that gift, three sacks in 50 dropbacks rates below the NFL average. But still, after getting stymied Sunday after Sunday, it had to feel good for some of the Ravens pass rushers to touch a quarterback. The big guys up front got their hands on a lot of passes, too. According to Ravens coach John Harbaugh, the Ravens batted down six passes at the line. And Kruger intercepted one of Palmer's passes after he realized he wasn't going to hit home and instead hit the brakes, parking right in Palmer's passing lane. It was a savvy adjustment by the Ravens coaching staff, but it's also telling that defenders are now being coached to try to swat passes when they realize they won't get to the quarterback, as it is a regular occurrence. The pass rush has been the biggest detriment to the Baltimore defense this season. The Ravens rank near the bottom of the NFL with 16 sacks in nine games, and the lack of consistent pressure has put too much pressure on a talented secondary still reeling from the loss of cornerback Lardarius Webb. The pass coverage hasn't been great, but it hasn't been as bad as the numbers might suggest. For example, Palmer threw for 368 yards Sunday, but it took him 45 attempts to get there and a big chunk of those yards came after the catch -- like when Ed Reed whiffed on Darrius Heyward-Bey's long catch and run. As the Ravens enter a tough stretch of capable quarterbacks, including Ben Roethlisberger and the Manning Brothers, it would be nice if Sunday's sack output was a sign of things to come. But even Harbaugh, who had a lot to grin about during the 35-point win, slammed the breaks on that one afterward, telling me that fixing "big-picture things" like an unproductive pass rush usually takes time. "I don't think one week predicts the next week so much," Harbaugh said. "When you are trying to improve big-picture things like run defense or underneath pass defense, which we are getting better [at], those are things you look at and say, 'We need to keep building there.' Something like pressure, sometimes those things come and go. We're going to need to continue to get pressure even more than we did today."

Ireland Baldwin has checked herself into rehab in Malibu to "deal with some emotional trauma" -- but she's been spending some of her time there getting the world straight about why she made the move.
The 19-year-old model tweeted about her current situation Monday after a story surfaced alleging that Kim Basinger had checked her daughter into a treatment center last Thursday because she'd been "partying non-stop."
"'Intensive partying' haha," said Baldwin, whose dad is Alec Baldwin and whose attitude toward going to rehab had been described by a Radar Online

The House General Aviation Caucus held a discussion on Capitol Hill this week with actor and pilot Harrison Ford to highlight the value of general aviation to the nation, and the event served as an effective opportunity to showcase the many reasons business aviation is essential in America today.
Ford joined GA Caucus Co Chairs Reps. Sam Graves (R-6-MO) and John Barrow (D-12-GA) at the March 19 event to talk about the many contributions of general aviation to a policy audience that included other congressional lawmakers, Capitol Hill staff, reporters with several national news organizations and representatives from NBAA and other GA groups.
The event featured a large banner (shown at left), displayed beside Ford and Graves, which showcased individuals from across the business aviation community who have been featured in the most recent ad campaign produced for the No Plane No Gain advocacy campaign.
The campaign is jointly sponsored by NBAA and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), and the latest ad campaign is called "Faces of Business Aviation," because it puts forward real people in the industry to underscore for policymakers and opinion leaders the size, diversity and importance of business aviation in America today.
Learn more about the ads and view a copy of each "Faces of Business Aviation" ad.
The banner at the March 19 GA Caucus event featured a dispatcher, two individuals who are small business owners and pilots, a business aircraft cabin filled with traveling salespeople and a small child on a humanitarian flight conducted by a business airplane to deliver the message: "Business Aviation Works for Us…All of Us."
In his remarks, Ford similarly noted the industry's humanitarian value, and the other important services provided by GA, even noting his personal involvement in humanitarian flights. He also pointed to other valued services provided by general aviation, including medical evacuations, emergency air support services, and search and rescue operations.
NBAA President and CEO welcomed Ford's participation in the House GA Caucus event, and the opportunity it provided to highlight the industry's importance. "When NBAA and GAMA launched the No Plane No Gain campaign, we noted that we want to ensure that Washington decision-makers understand the many reasons why business aviation is essential to citizens, companies and communities," Bolen said. "We are delighted that Harrison Ford spoke to the industry's many benefits, and we thank Congressmen Graves and Barrow for organizing this important event."
Because the GA community has been focused in recent weeks on the potential impact of the "sequester" – or mandatory budget cuts to federal agencies, including the FAA – much of the GA Caucus forum focused on that topic.
Ford spoke forcefully about the importance of control towers as "critical to flying", calling the threats to about 200 contract control towers a serious issue that "needs to be addressed immediately."
He went on to warn that with the tower closures anticipated in the FAA's sequester-response plan, jobs will be lost and local economies around the country will be impacted. "When you close a tower, you're eliminating the operations that can happen there," he said, noting that the industry provides over 1.2 million stable, high-wage jobs and generates $150 billion in annual economic activity.
The actor-pilot noted it will have "a huge impact on small businesses," as the closures cause businesses using aircraft to seek alternate airports for conducting their missions, further limiting access for small towns and rural areas.
The FAA plans to announce a final decision on its tower-closure plan on March 22.

Elf on the Shelf Christmas Party For Kids
A Magical Party For the Holiday Season's Favorite Elf!
A Magical Party For the Holiday Season's Favorite Elf!
The Elf on the Shelf is the biggest Christmas phenomenon to hit since Frosty, and if your kids are truly obsessed with their magical little holiday friend, it only makes sense to throw a party in his honor.
Luckily for you, Anders Ruff has done the heavy lifting for you, creating an adorable new collection of elf-inspired printables, including posters, Advent calendar tags that double as gift tags, and tons of party labels, cards, banners, and tags. "The magic of the Christmas elf is a tradition that my family has enjoyed for years," Maureen says. "After all, how can Santa possibly watch over all little boys and girls? So when our fabulous friend and client, Audrey of Sweet Cheeks Tasty Treats, brought us the idea of focusing on the magical elf tradition for this year's holiday party, we loved it!" With candy cane stripes, chevron, and snowflakes, this party has us more excited than ever to break out Santa's little scout. Keep clicking to check out all the elf-tastic details!

If you're not exfoliating your body, you are missing an essential step in skin care. And I don't mean using a grainy, physical exfoliator (though, those are good to have, too), but rather FRUIT. Fruit and its Alpha-Hydroxy Fruit Acids help slough off dead skin like a champ. The new Tone Fruit Peel Daily Exfoliating Body Wash with aforementioned AHAs has an amazing blend of apple, kiwi, citrus and Vitamin E to gently exfoliate your skin. It works incognito, since the body wash is a smooth formula, but trust, those fruit acids are working to shed your winter skin. Also, it feels refreshing and smells delicious. Almost good enough to add to a blender for a citrusy smoothie (but don't…)
We've teamed with Tone to give away one (1) Tone Fruit Peel Package, including:
- Tone Fruit Peel Daily Exfoliating Body Wash
- Canvas Market Tote
- Spa Accessories
- $50 Visa Gift Card
To enter, leave a comment on this post! You can talk exfoliation, fruit, ANYTHING. Let us know your thoughts. We'll pick one winner end of day Friday, April 13.
May the fruit be with you.

A simple yet ambitious plan, to terraform planet Diversitas. About 1.25 trillion dollars were invested into this project, ships were built, colonizers were trained, scientists were hired; And it all failed. On the second year following the route to Diversitas, one of the main nuclear engines of the mother ship "Infinitum" exploded, as far as you know you are the only survivor. Alone in space, no communication, no people.

Toby Keith Celebrates a Decade of USO Tours
Toby Keith is known for being a seriously patriotic country star -- maybe even the most patriotic one in the bunch. After all, some of his top hits have had names like 'Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,' 'American Soldier' and 'Made in America.' No, Toby Keith has never been shy about his love for America -- nor his support for our troops. In fact, he's in the midst of celebrating 10 years of giving back by playing for soldiers in the Middle East on his USO tours.
Keith's 2012 USO tour will be a 12-day gig that reaches five countries in the Middle East. He will perform for the troops and their families and visit remote forward operating bases to cheer up the men and women who serve in rarely-visited places.
"I can't believe it has already been a decade, it feels like just yesterday when I first started working with the USO," Keith told GACTV. "I've met so many great, brave service men and women over the years and had so many wonderful experiences, that I can barely remember them all. One thing is for sure, I enjoy working with the USO, I love our nation's troops, and I won't ever stop doing my part to extend my thanks."
Apparently, this is a mutual admiration agreement. USO President Sloan Gibson had high praises for the patriotic country singer -- something which is to be expected.
"He has such a genuine interest in enhancing the lives of our nation's troops and is truly among our biggest and most recognized supporters," Gibson said. "We can't thank him enough for all of the support he has shown us over the last decade and we look forward to many more years together."
Of course, Keith doesn't just support the troops through his overseas tours. When it comes to America's men and women in the armed forces, the 'American Soldier' singer really puts his money where his mouth is. In 2007, he started the USO2GO program, which collects and sends electronics, entertainment, non-perishable food and personal care items to troops stationed at remote bases. Also, his restaurant chain serves up free burgers and drinks to soldiers just returning the the States. Keith even frequents wounded warrior hospitals to pay his respects.
After spending 12 days overseas, Keith will return stateside and embark on his summer tour, which begins in June.

Let's Work on Positional Words!
I couldn't help but make another book with these adorable graphics from scrappin doodles. This week you can get 15% off clip art from scrappin doodles by using the code SEPTEMBER2011 . You can click on the scrappin doodles button on the right hand side of my blog to go there. I love Denyse's creations!
Next week I wanted to begin using positional word vocabulary with my kinders. I made this adorable book to share with my team and decided to share it with you too. The vocabulary comes straight from the math common core standards.
I am going to cut the book apart. It is easy if you run the copies, staple on the side then cut. There are 2 of the same pages on 1 page. So, you can get 2 books from 1 complete copy. In other words if you run 10 copies you get 20 little books. (I am trying to save paper and copies! We only get a few copies each month at our school) Then, tape the crow to the end of a piece of yarn and the other end of the yarn to the book. The children will be able to manipulate the crow on each page to match the positional word. Did this make sense? I think I might be a little tired tonight... it has been one of those weeks!
Click on the picture above to download. Hope you enjoy and I would love if you would consider following me or if you could let me know if you will use it in your classroom with a comment below! Thank you!

While the animals roam over very large areas, the areas are unpopulated and thus can be monitored from the skies, and herds can be tracked to further hone in on animals' locations.
By whom, with what resources and under who's oversight can these vast areas be sufficiently monitored from the sky. Also, just monitoring the area (assuming you could effectively do so) isn't enough to stop poaching. What mechanism(s) will you put in place that will discourage/stop poaching from happening and how does that hook into your monitoring program? Understand, I'm not disagreeing with you per se, just asking questions about method. Time and again you'll find yourself back at the lack of education and law in the area you're trying to 'police'.

If Jordan Mills wasn't a celebrity the last time he left his hometown of Napoleonville, by now everyone in the small bayou town knows who he is.
If Jordan Mills wasn't a celebrity the last time he left his hometown of Napoleonville, by now everyone in the small bayou town knows who he is.
Becoming an NFL player in a few days will do that for a fella.
"If I walk outside and people pass by they will honk their horns or stop and talk to me," Mills said. "Sometimes they scream my name, so it's an exciting time."
Mills, a former Assumption High School and Louisiana Tech offensive lineman, is expected to go in the Top 100 of this year's NFL draft. Round 1 is 7 p.m. Thursday from New York and Rounds 2 and 3 begin at 6:30 p.m. Friday. Rounds 4-7 begin at noon on Saturday.
Mills (6-foot-5, 316 pounds) is back home to watch the draft with family and friends, and he could go on either Friday or Saturday, which is making the time leading up until the draft pass extra slowly.
For Mills, the clock can't turn fast enough.
"Now I'm at home just waiting on Thursday," Mills said. "Mondays usually go by fast and Wednesday is usually here in a hurry, but it's going by slow right now."
After the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine, Mills, a four-year starter at Louisiana Tech, continued to perfect his skills at Michael Johnson Performance in Dallas and also had his Pro Day before getting back to working out and coming home.
Mike Detillier, an NFL draft analyst who lives in Raceland, originally had Mills as a fourth-round pick, but now said he could go as early as the third round.
"He is the best big man to come out of here since (former Thibodaux High, LSU and Detroit Lions standout) Eric Andolsek. It's easy to see that. He's played right tackle, but he could also play left tackle at the NFL level," Detillier said. "He is a big man with quick feet, and that's the first thing that jumps out at me. I don't care what position it is, if I watch a player's feet, and they can move, they can play in this league."
Mills said he has no idea where he will be picked or which team will choose him.
"I have no clue right now," Mill said. "The past three or four days I have been getting phone calls from a lot of teams. My agent was like 'Every time I get off the phone with somebody another team is calling.' I don't know where I'm going. That's the nerve-racking part about it."
Detillier said just about any team could take Mills, and though he has worked hard to get better in his run blocking, he may fit better in a passing offense, which he excelled in at Louisiana Tech.
"His best fits are passing teams like New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints," Detillier said. "But he just wants an opportunity and understands what it is all about. He can play this game at a certain level, and I thought he did an outstanding job last season playing on a good football team (at Louisiana Tech)."
Detillier said the buzz surrounding Mills really began during his time with the Bulldogs and at the Senior Bowl.
"Whenever he played at Tech and at the Senior Bowl, he played at a high level, and he showed that he deserved to be at the Senior Bowl," Detillier said. "He showed a nasty streak at the Senior Bowl almost like his agent whispered in his ear to play like that. He turned out to be a real physical guy at the Senior Bowl much more than at Tech, and maybe that was because of scheme."
Detillier also said Mills has the intangibles to play in the NFL.
"He is an outstanding prospect that plays with a lot of heart and desire to be the best that he can be," Detillier said. "I think he knows how to play this game at a certain level for a guy who did not have a lot on his r�sum� as a high school football player."
With so much happening so quickly for Mills he has not had to look far for some helpful advice. He is cousins with Green Bay Packers cornerback Tramon Williams, also an Assumption High product.
"I talked to Tramon a couple months ago, and he said to just take it one step at a time and take it slow because everything is going to hit you fast," Mills said. "He said just grind and work hard every day and take care of yourself."
And how will Mills feel this weekend when he hears his name and officially becomes an NFL draft pick? Even Mills himself isn't sure.
"I have no clue," Mills said. "I know I won't be in shock because I kind of know it is going to happen, but it's going to be happiness and joy. From being a little kid watching the draft, to hearing my name called in prime time, there is going to be nothing like it. I can't wait."

A City of New Bern stormwater management team was out in high waders Tuesday, clearing the city drain system as water continues to rise in the rivers and keeps falling from the sky.
A City of New Bern stormwater management team was out in high waders Tuesday, clearing the city drain system as water continues to rise in the rivers and keeps falling from the sky.
Water was over the roadways at times Tuesday and Wednesday, intermittently closing roads near Jack Smith Creek off Oaks Road and Glenburnie Road.
The National Weather Service issued a coastal flood advisory at 3:35 a.m. Wednesday and again just after 5 p.m. warning of strong northeasterly winds and the possibility of minor flooding in low lying areas, especially during times of high tide.
The advisory included parts of Pamlico and Craven counties in Pamlico Sound and the mouth of the Neuse River, and all of Carteret County.
Ira Whitford, assistant director of Craven County Emergency Services, said overall flooding in Craven County has been minor, with most of it in the area by National Avenue and Jack Smith Creek, with �water a little high around Union Point, but hasn�t come over the sidewalk.�
�I haven�t looked at the gauge but in terms of rain, as dry as it was before most of this should soak it,� he said. �It�s that hard northeast blow pushing the water.�
As of Oct. 1, the U.S. Drought Monitor of North Carolina listed Craven, Pamlico, and Jones counties among the 26 counties considered �abnormally dry.� Total rainfall for the year was unavailable because �due to the Federal Government shutdown, NOAA.gov and most associated websites are unavailable� unless the site �is necessary to protect life and property.�
The total rainfall recorded at Coastal Carolina Regional Airport from Sunday night through about 5 p.m. Wednesday was slightly more than 2 inches, but windblown water was filling New Bern stormwater drains, leaving bubbling up, rather than flowing down.
New Bern�s stormwater administrator, Matt Montain, said, �Basically, with the rain over past 48 hours there has been minimal flooding but we do have issues with the river; it�s causing some of the storm water.�
Montain said water was being pushed onto several roads by the river, at times, everything between downtown and Glenburnie road including Oaks Road, National Avenue, Simmons Street, �but nothing near any properties.�
New Bern completed a large wetlands restoration project for Jack Smith Creek, which he said collects drainage from the city and pumps it onto the wetlands. When the river goes down, the excess water drains back into the river.
�The pumps out there are running,� Montain said. �We are pumping water into the wetlands at this time and just holding it because of the elevation of the river.�
He said the �guys in my division are out there cleaning catch basins, making sure drains are clear and pump stations are operating property for when it does.�
The Weather Service predicts Thursday�s rain chance at 50 percent, decreasing to 20 percent by Thursday night, and a north wind around 11 mph.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
PHOENIX - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced it has settled a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit against retail giant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., based in Bentonville, Arkansas, for $220,000 in damages and other relief for its failure to hire a female applicant due to her pregnancy.
Under the Consent Decree filed in Arizona District Court (EEOC v. WalMart CIV 94-465 TUC WDB), Wal-Mart will pay nearly a quarter million dollars to Ms. Jamey Stern and engage in comprehensive training concerning the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, in lieu of a further trial on the issue of punitive damages. The EEOC filed this lawsuit in 1994 alleging that Wal-Mart refused to rehire Jamey Stern at their Green Valley, Arizona, store because she told them she was pregnant in November of 1991. The litigation was subjected to repeated trials and appeals before all issues were finally resolved.
According to the lawsuit, Ms. Stern was told by the Assistant Manager to "come back after she had the baby," after informing him that she was pregnant. Ms. Stern was not aware that refusing to hire someone because they are pregnant is against the law until she read an article in a magazine in her doctor's office. She then filed a charge of discrimination with the EEOC and the Arizona Civil Rights Division. The EEOC investigated the case and filed the lawsuit on behalf of Ms. Stern after its efforts to reach a voluntary negotiated settlement proved futile.
Mary Jo O'Neill , the Regional Attorney for the Phoenix District Office lauded the settlement, "Sometimes employers don't take pregnancy discrimination as seriously as other kinds of discrimination. It is illegal to refuse to hire a woman because she is pregnant. This settlement confirms that the EEOC will not tolerate pregnancy discrimination."
Ms. Stern, the charging party, said, "This 11-year struggle has proven that one person can truly make a difference and I owe a million thanks to many individuals at the EEOC for making that possible. I am proud to have been a part of a process that has restored my faith in my determination to assert my rights, even in the face of such an adversary as Wal-Mart. I'm confident that many will benefit from this effort and become educated concerning their own rights and learn that they have the ability and resources available to assert and protect those rights."
In 1997, a jury found that Wal-Mart intentionally refused to rehire Ms. Stern because she was pregnant. However, the issue of punitive damages was not allowed to go to the jury in that trial. The EEOC appealed that decision. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals sent the case back to the District Court to be retried on the issue of punitive damages, which are money damages designed to punish the wrong doing employer and deter other employers from engaging in discrimination. The issue of punitive damages was tried to a jury in 2000, but again evidence pertinent to Wal-Mart's actions and to the question of punitive damages was withheld from the jury. The case was again appealed and the Ninth Circuit, which once more sent the case back to the District Court with explicit directions that the jury was to be told that Wal-Mart fabricated a number of facts during the investigation and initial trial.
Sally C. Shanley, the EEOC Trial Attorney remarked, "It is very satisfying to be a part of this settlement as it sends a message both to employers and employees that there is recourse for discrimination in the workplace and that the Commission will persist in seeking justice."
Charles Burtner, EEOC's Phoenix District Director, which has jurisdiction over Arizona and Utah, said: "We are very pleased with the resolution of this case. We take the Pregnancy Discrimination Act very seriously. The Phoenix Office of the EEOC has seen a significant increase in charges of pregnancy discrimination over the last 10 years, mirroring a national trend."
Under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, which amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, employment discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions constitutes unlawful sex discrimination. In addition to prohibiting sex-based discrimination, Title VII prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin.
EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Equal Pay Act; and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Further information about the Commission is available online at www.eeoc.gov.

Very technical. Liked the layout and about 13 holes really challenge your accuracy. Danger everywhere! 30' putt for bird on 8 or 9 hit the belt and rolled down into a sink hole (seems like they are everywhere) for double bogey. Only played it once, but the rocks and the scene of each of the daunting holes was pretty cool. The only reason it isn't an A+ for me is due to the length. Just about every drive was from a stand still. I don't think there was one hole over 350. Really cool course though.

Blended learning is not a new thing. It is not a radical concept. It is not a new-age way of thinking about learning. As Elliott Masie puts it: "We are, as a species, blended learners." So, the blend existed much before we understood and (re)defined it.
What does blended learning mean?
There are many definitions of blended learning. Some focus on the technology (aka Internet) and others focus on the theories to be blended. For yet others, a blend is all about the media – combination of instructor-led and elearning. There are a few who only call it a blend when it's a combination of different types of elearning:
• Blended Learning is a blending of different learning environments. This can mean also blending methods, techniques or resources and applying them ...
• Learning methods that combine e learning with other forms of flexible learning and more traditional forms of learning such as face to face classes.
• Learning events that combine aspects of online and face-to-face instruction.
• A Learning approach that includes the use of appropriate combinations of information technologies--videoconferencing, audioconferencing, Internet, CD-ROM, and other media, combined with appropriate learning technologies, on-site facilitated activities, and strong learner support systems.
• An educational formation the integrates elearning techniques including online delivery of materials through web pages, discussion boards and/or email with traditional teaching methods including lectures, in-person discussions, seminars, or tutorials.
• Learning that involves both online and in-person activities.
I like the definition by Heinze and Procter who have developed the following definition for blended learning in higher education:
"Blended learning is learning that is facilitated by the effective combination of different modes of delivery, models of teaching and styles of learning, and is based on transparent communication amongst all parties involved with a course."
For me, this definition is more complete since it allows instructional designers to create a blend of many more aspects that just Internet-based vs. face-to-face learning. And it focuses on transparent communication – more on that later.
So, what can you blend?
Well pretty much everything! You can blend theories of learning and use different learning models for different learning outcomes. You can blend the media components (perhaps most common) and provide enough variety to the learning process. You can also blend different styles of learning as understood today. The important thing to remember is that it needs to be integrated and seamless. That's where good communication or transparent communication (from the definition above) comes into play.
This is not an exhaustive list. But here are some possible components of a blend:
Synchronous face-to-face
• Instructor-led classroom training
• Workshops
• Conferences
• Coaching/mentoring
• On-the-job (OTJ) training
• Work teams
Synchronous online
• Webinars
• Live elearning (Virtual classrooms)
• E-mentoring
• Chats
• Work teams
• Immersive technologies (such as SecondLife)
Asynchronous online
• Email
• Bulletin boards
• Communities
• Discussion Forums
• Documentation
• Job-aids online or on PDAs
• Online assessments
• Web-based learning modules
• Online resources
• Simulations and virtual labs
• Audio, video, and mobile learning
• Workbooks
• Social media
Is there the perfect blend?
Is there a single blend that prescribes the best way of producing the right mix? No. They can never be. This is because the term 'blended learning' and what it means keeps changing depending on the context in which it is used. Today, the blend is of face-to-face and Internet-based media. Tomorrow, the blend will be based on mobile and social learning, Web 2.0, and 3D immersive environments. Today, the social media elements are a probable component of the blend. Can't say this was a possibility 10 years ago.
Is blended learning for everyone?
Blended learning provides the much needed extension of learning in both space and time. It has been proved to be an effective way to learn. But it is still not for everyone. Like Garrison and Vaughan, 2008 put it:
"Blended course redesign requires a willingness to step back and consider the goals and range of possibilities, strategies, techniques, and tools."
There are many things to consider before designing a blended learning intervention for example:
• The learning outcomes or objectives
• The design and content of the course
• The learner analysis – motivation and comfort with multi-media
• Use of technology and new media elements
• The degree of collaboration/interaction
• The degree of feedback and level of instruction
• Assessment and evaluation of training
• The role of the instructor/facilitator
To make blended learning a success think why before you think how.

Oh, Hollywood. You give us a great film that people come to love and adore, and then you wait a few decades and think you can do it better. Then you fail miserably. The Italian Job, Planet of the Apes, Death Race 2000 and The Day The Earth Stood Still are just some of my favorite films victimized by a horrendously awful remake.
The next one I can add to that list is Robocop, the fantastic 1987 action movie whose remake is due out in 2014.
Earlier this week we showed you two of Robocop's new robo-cars, including a Ford Taurus and an (ugh) Dodge Caliber. Now, care of the The Daily Mail, we have pictures of his new police motorcycle as well.
I wasn't too excited about a Robocop remake in the first place, and now having seen these photos of the new character design – which one astute Daily Mail commenter at called "cheapskate carbon fibre version of Batman" – I'm even less enthused. I never really saw Robocop as a motorcycle guy, seeing as how he seemed to weigh slightly less than a car himself in the films.
But more than the goofy design, it's the tone I'm worried about. As star Joel Kinnaman said to the Mail, "Of course, [director Paul Verhoeven] has that very special tone, and the reboot is not going to have that tone. It's a re-imagination of it."
See, Robocop wasn't just an action flick, it was satire of the first water. Its targets were the news media, politics, corporate culture, greed, and perhaps most of all, the American auto industry at the height of its arrogance and decrepitude.
The original Robocop is totally a movie for car guys and gals. Not just because of the Taurus, which was considered a sleek and futuristic design in its day, or because it's set in Detroit, but because it features villains that are scathing send-ups of the American auto industry in the 1980s. Without GM and Chrysler at their peak incompetence, you wouldn't have the faulty ED-209 or the scheming Dick "Who cares if it worked or not?" Jones.
Granted, a few spy shots don't mean that this movie won't have the themes of the last one, but I'm concerned that it will be more of a straight-up action flick (and not a very good one) rather than one with a potent satirical edge, like the original was.
I do have some hope for the Robocop remake in one regard: it's got a great cast lined up. Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton and Jackie Earle Haley have all signed on, and every one of them is a force to be reckoned with. Let's hope they can pull it off. A decent remake of Robocop? I'd buy that for a dollar.
What do you think of the motorcycle, and the remake itself? What are your favorite moments from the original film?

This month, I am pleased to announce three new additions to NACDL's staff roster — three individuals of extraordinary talent and dedication.State Legislative Affairs DirectorLast summer, Scott Ehlers left his position as NACDL's state legislative affairs director to return to his hometown of Austin, Texas, where he assumed a position as senior policy advisor to state Sen. Rodney Ellis. After an extensive national search, Angelyn C. Frazer was selected to fill the position. Angelyn joins NACDL following a six-year stint at Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM), where she served as deputy director of state legislative affairs. In that position, Angelyn played a pivotal role in developing state legislative and advocacy concerns, and serving as an articulate and effective spokesperson for FAMM at confe

Obtaining Financial Assistance for Cancer Therapy
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
A doctor has asked, on behalf of a patient who cannot afford treatment for diagnosed cancer, where to apply to find financial assistance.
If the patient is being evaluated by a physician who is affiliated with a hospital-based practice, they may have access to social workers who could provide advice and assistance. The social worker will work to assess the patient's financial needs and direct them to the appropriate local resources. In addition, the social worker could also address the patient's psycho-social needs and concerns which may relate to their financial situation.
If the patient is being evaluated by a physician who is part of a free-standing practice, the physician may be able to direct the patient to their State Department of Health or the Federal Department of Health and Human Services. These offices are generally listed in the "Blue Pages" of the local telephone directory. Representatives of Medical Assistance will work with the patient to complete the required application(s) which determine the patient's eligibility.
The patient should also contact the local chapter of the American Cancer Society. Although they typically do not provide direct financial assistance, they may maintain a database of local resources for cancer patients.
Another potential source of reduced-cost care may be available in hospitals or clinics that have a residency training program. Many of these facilities operate clinics in which medical residents (i.e. - licensed physicians participating in specialty training) provide care under the direct supervision of an attending physician. Often, these clinics provide services at significant discounts to patients.
Finally, the patient may be eligible to participate in "Pharmaceutical Reimbursement Assistance Programs", pharmaceutical industry sponsored programs which provide cancer-drugs at reduced cost to patients who are in need.

Deputies in Athens County found a pet deer while searching a home in Nelsonville Friday. The sheriff said he received multiple tips about the house on Happy Hollow Road. When deputies arrived, they found a baby deer inside a bedroom.
Wildlife officials said it's a problem they deal with more often during this time of year.
"Most of the times people take it inside, care for it and then help it themselves because they think it's been abandoned," said Lindsay Rist, a wildlife communications specialist with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife. "The best thing they can do is put it back outside where it came from."
Rist said this time of year is when fawns are typically born. The mother will often leave her young alone while she forages so people will often think it's been abandoned.
"They have good intentions, most people do," she said.
Athens County Sheriff Rodney Smith said his deputies find someone with a wild animal as a pet a couple times every year.
"Believe it or not, throughout the State of Ohio, alligators are one of the number one animals that they have to come get," Smith said. "Either to have some with a pet deer or a part animal that are illegal to keep without permits is that uncommon."
Rist said the person who had the fawn gave it to wildlife officers right away so he wasn't charged, but it's still illegal. The fawn was released back into the wild where it will likely reunite with its mother quickly since it was only gone for two days. Rist said even if the fawn can't find it's mother, often another doe will adopt it as her own.
"They were born in the wild," Rist said. "They'll do the best in the wild because that's the native habitat. Even if people have good intentions the best place for them is the backyard."

The House Appropriations Subcommittee has marked up the Fiscal Year 2012 Agriculture Appropriations Bill. If enacted, the bill would freeze the popular Rural Energy for American Program and the Biomass Crop Assistance program. It would also cap the Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels.
REAP is said to be the only federal program successfully helping farmers and rural small businesses fight high energy costs with renewable energy systems and energy efficiency. Andy Olsen, Senior Policy Advocate at the environmental Law and Policy Center, says the House could not be sending a clearer signal that they don't care about rising on-farm energy prices.
"What we really should be doing is increasing investment in REAP and rural America," Olsen said. "In the same proposal we see that the Rural Utilities Service funding will be increased by $500 million, which is more than the cuts to REAP and BCA programs. So they can certainly find the money to support energy, they just choose not to support renewable energy and not to support energy efficiency that helps agricultural producers control rising energy costs."
REAP has been around since the 2003 Farm Bill and supports private investment in a wide range of clean energy technologies such as manure digesters, biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and more. REAP also supports energy efficiency improvements such as modern lighting, pumps, motors, refrigeration and more.
"All agricultural producers and all Americans benefit when we have cleaner, homegrown energy," Olsen said. "We've already see with the thousands of projects that have been supported by REAP that it helps farmers modernize their operations and develop new income streams from renewable energy. So it's a win-win-win for rural economic development, for the farm sector, for our environment, and for national and energy security."
Earlier, Congress cut this year's REAP funding by 25% as part of the recent budget deal. Olsen says this action would be a far more serious setback to energy independence and rural economic development. He encourages producers to contact members of Congress and urge them to reconsider the choices in this bill. Full committee mark up is scheduled for May 31.
