PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A Federal Reserve policymaker suggested on Tuesday he would support an interest rate increase at a mid-March policy meeting as long as inflation, output and other data until then continue to show the U.S. economy is growing.
Asked what would dissuade him from backing a rate hike at the March 14-15 meeting, Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker told reporters: "Seeing any data that is not consistent with what I see as continued growth in the economy. We'll see. But I don't think March should be taken off the table at this point."
Harker, seen as a hawkish Fed official, is one of 10 voters on monetary policy this year under a rotation of regional presidents.

Supporters of aggressive efforts by the city to control the cost of retirement benefits — including this editorial board — were surprised by the City Council's 8-1 vote to settle a seemingly promising lawsuit filed in 2010 by City Attorney Jan Goldsmith over city employees' pension obligations. But is the City Council's action troubling as well as surprising? That depends on what was the impetus for the council's decision.
Goldsmith's lawsuit argued that the plain language of the City Charter requires there be a "substantially equal" split in pension costs between the city and its employees. If this were upheld by the courts, city employees could have been required to help cover the city pension system's $2.3 billion funding shortfall — though not for any of the additional costs created by the City Council's reckless 1996 and 2002 decisions to raise benefits while cutting pension fund contributions.
Such a ruling could have prompted city employee unions to accept much cheaper pensions going forward — and to get more take-home pay — if the Internal Revenue Service allowed workers to opt out of their old arrangements. Orange County has a request pending with the IRS to allow many of its employees to do just that.
In an interview, Goldsmith had no issues with the council's decision, depicting it as a policy choice — not a negative reflection on the strength of his legal case, which he stressed he could refile at any time.
But what drove this policy choice? According to reports, council members fear losing more police officers if their pension costs were to increase. They also think pension reform is advancing with the implementation of Proposition B's caps on "pensionable pay." And they welcome a period of relative labor peace after a stressful decade.
If that is what prompted their decision, the settlement is defensible. But if what we are actually seeing is a loss of resolve on controlling compensation costs, then it is bad news.
With the exception of police, there is little market demand for government employees. Compensation should be set with this in mind: What pay and benefits are necessary to retain employees? We must not return to the norm seen throughout California, in which public employees' compensation is often driven by the raw political power of their unions.
San Diegans just got a fresh reminder of the bad old days last week. Even though the city pension system is billions of dollars underwater, nearly 8,000 city pension recipients will get a bonus "13th check" because recent investment earnings were strong.
Do these pensioners give money back when investment earnings are weak? Of course not. But the "13th check" is a vested benefit that can't be taken away — even if it is an overt assault on taxpayers.
The last thing San Diego needs is even a tiny re-emergence of the City Hall mindset that led to this absurd giveaway. We hope such thinking wasn't behind the council's decision to settle the "substantially equal" lawsuit.


text: I am so incredibly excited to share the new look of the blog/site with all of you! If you have been following along on Instagram you've seen some sneak peeks and some hints to the long awaited relaunch. We have been working tirelessly to get the blog to where we wanted it to be as well as give the site a bit of a refresh. It needed to speak to who we are. I felt it was time to merge Catwalks & Baby Bumps with my event & floral design business and site. The reason for this was because I had been contemplating housing all of my passions under one roof for some time now but was nervous of losing some of my audience that mainly viewed me as a model and a mom. And in turn, I was afraid of my design & floral clients getting a glimpse into my life. It all made me very nervous. But I realized that if I wasn't true to my heart I wouldn't be honoring the entire reason I started this blog and my event design and floral business. Following my instincts and listening to my heart is what lead me to this day. It is time to let both my audience and my clients alike into my world and into my design process. This is who I am and what I love to do. It's what drives me and makes me feel raw and whole. To share my love and passions with all of you is what motivates me to keep moving forward. So…I made the jump and am so happy I did. You can expect more DIY projects, floral recipes, wedding inspiration, new house updates (if you have been following on Instagram you can see we are very close to the finish line!), food & drink recipes (you know because martinis & cupcakes go so well together!), fashion & beauty posts, and of course parties, lots and lots of parties! So come on in, pour yourself a cup of coffee, or tea, or wine (no judgement) and stay awhile. So happy to be here with you all again.

Not long after she took the reins as Austin Opera's general director, Annie Burridge told a reporter how she felt about the quality of company's sound under Artistic Director Richard Buckley.
"The second the performance started, I bolted forward in my seat," Burridge recalled. "I couldn't believe the caliber of the musicianship."
RELATED: Austin Opera general director turns to big data to engage audiences.
Soon after the article was published, major benefactors Sarah and Ernest Butler asked the general director over for tea. Burridge came away with a pledge from the Butlers — who have strategically given tens of millions of dollars to build Austin's arts — to support Buckley's position with $1 million.
"As long-time opera fans, Sarah and I are so pleased with the artistic achievements of Maestro Buckley and quite proud of the caliber of musicianship he has brought to Austin," Ernest Butler said. "We are also very optimistic about the future of Austin Opera under the leadership of General Director Annie Burridge. We hope that our gift will enable the company to flourish for years to come."
Son of a distinguished maestro, Buckley has conducted operas and symphonies far and wide. He has been part of 38 Austin Opera productions — 37 percent of them new to the company's repertoire — going back to the 2004-2005 season with "Tosca" and "Electra."
Along with setting high standards with familiar operatic fare, Buckley has won praise from Austin observers for daring ventures such as "Waiting for the Barbarians," "Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk," "The Bat," "Of Mice and Men," "Dialogue of the Carmelites," "Flight" and "The Manchurian Candidate." To celebrate his 10th year as artistic director, the company staged Verdi's formidable masterpiece, "Don Carlo," during the 2013-2014 season, along with a revival of his first Austin opera, "Tosca."
RELATED: Austin Opera conductor Richard Buckley celebrates 10 years.
When Buckley conducts around the world as a guest, he tends to win over even the toughest critics.
"He lifts the orchestra with incontestable spirit, rhythm and presence," reported Le Figaro newspaper in Paris. "We have here a real artist."
"Richard Buckley, who has matured into an exquisitely sensitive yet fiery conductor, characterizes every measure of the score," judged the Miami Herald critic. "But Buckley does it in a natural way that never seems self-conscious, and his reading crackles with theatrical excitement. It is fluent, spontaneous, superbly proportioned and, when necessary, wonderfully hushed with suspense."
In other Austin Opera news, Burridge recently announced the appointment of three new members to her leadership team: Jennifer Dubin will serve as the group's chief development officer; Nathan DePoint is the Company's director of operations; and Melysa Rogen is the Company's new director of marketing and communications.

Herbs for Suppressing the Appetite
A healthy diet with exercise is the best appetite suppressant. There are many natural sources for appetite reduction, however. Herbs come from non-woody plants and have proven to be effective appetite suppressants.
Green Tea
Green tea can offer you appetite suppression, as well as a metabolism boost for fat burning. Deborah Mitchell, author of "The Diet Pill Guide" says you need 3 to 6 cups of green tea a day to help manage your appetite.
Dandelion may quell your cravings for sweets, in addition to flushing out the kidneys and boosting your metabolism. It has a light laxative effect on the bowels and may aid in cleansing. You can take dandelion in a number of ways—via capsule or by making tea with it.
You might have heard of using fennel as a spice--particularly in pizza or Italian dishes. However, fennel can be used for its health benefits as well. It is known for reducing mucus and fat from the intestinal tract and is also a natural appetite suppressant. Fennel can be purchased as loose or bagged tea and tinctures.
Licorice root, also known as "sweet root," is known for its soothing and strengthening properties in the body. It also regulates blood sugar level--this reduces your cravings for sweets. Licorice may be taken in tincture, extract or tea made from the dried root.
Cinnamon is known for its positive effect on blood sugar and insulin, hence reducing cravings for sweets. Cinnamon also stimulates fat cells and their release says Ann Louise Gittleman, author of "Fat Flush Plan."
Siberian Ginseng
Not only can Siberian ginseng give you extra energy, it also can stabilize blood sugar and reduce cravings. Because of its stimulating effect on your body, do not use if you have high blood pressure, anxiety or drink caffeine. Ginseng can be purchased in capsule, tea and tincture form.

More than two dozen nearby stellar White Dwarfs --- the burnt-out remnant cores of solar-type stars in their final death throes --- show evidence of relic planetary systems.
A few may even harbor full-sized rocky type planets, says Edward Sion, an astronomer at Villanova University, who has studied these exotic objects for nearly four decades.
Sion is currently the lead author of a paper to appear in The Astronomical Journal which details analysis of some 229 White Dwarfs --- all of which lie within 82 light years of the sun. He and colleagues studied data from previous infrared space- and ground-based all-sky star surveys, to look for excesses of infrared radiation that would signal relic planetary debris disks.
The team found spectroscopic evidence that some 26 of these White Dwarfs have circumstellar debris disks, likely formed as a result of the gravitational disruption of asteroids, comets and/or relic planets.
As Sion explains, once a solar type star reaches its Red Giant end game, its outer gaseous envelope expands outward and the giant sheds mass at a furious rate; leaving a hot dense White Dwarf core at what was its nuclear-burning center.
"So, it was a big surprise that these debris disks and even planetary systems could survive the Red Giant phase," said Sion. "These debris disks around White Dwarfs show some show evidence of water and of super abundant oxygen relative to carbon."
Sion says their results "destroy the idea" that these White Dwarfs are somehow accreting metal-rich material as they pass through the galaxy's plethora of interstellar dust clouds. More likely, the source of such circumstellar contamination is ground-up asteroids or asteroidal debris.
However, he notes that even though these White Dwarf systems may have once harbored earthlike planets, if life had evolved around them, it would long have been destroyed.
One of the challenges in characterizing White Dwarfs is that they are so inherently faint. Although there are already some 14,000 known White Dwarfs in our own Milky Way, Sion says that some 98 percent of the galaxy's estimated 200 billion stars will end their lives as such dense cores.
"With the Hubble Space Telescope," said Sion, "we can detect White Dwarfs down to well below one ten thousandth the luminosity of the sun."
These burned out cores are so dim that even from an earth-sun distance, to the naked eye they would appear as just another faint star.
Thus, to advance White Dwarf studies, Sion says the astronomical community needs the next generation of 30-meter ground-based optical telescopes as well as NASA's planned James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
"But if we're right," said Sion, "the JWST isn't going to find any dimmer White Dwarfs in the disk of the Milky Way. That's because we don't think the age of our galactic disk is old enough for White Dwarfs to have cooled below about 2500 degrees Kelvin."
White Dwarfs are in such a slow fade that their ultimate lifetimes will likely rival that of the universe itself. Like burned-out cinders, these cores still just keep leaking heat into space.
In fact, Sion says a White Dwarf's cooling time from 10,000 degrees to absolute zero --- a black dwarf that emits no radiation whatsoever --- would normally take trillions of years.
"White Dwarfs are descendants of the first solar type stars that formed in the galaxy," said Sion, "but with no nuclear fuel and masses equal to a sun crushed into a volume of an earthlike planet."
Thus, our own sun will likely end its life a 0.6 solar mass White Dwarf, having lost some forty percent of its current mass during its end days as an expanding Red Giant.
In such a future Red Giant scenario, Sion says Jupiter may accrete enough mass to turn into a deuterium or even hydrogen burning star.
"Suppose Mercury, Venus and Earth are engulfed by the sun's Red Giant phase and its wind is sweeping past Jupiter," said Sion. "Jupiter's strong magnetic field would probably channel that outflowing gas onto its magnetic poles."
Our own Jupiter is mostly hydrogen anyway. So, Sion says that if our largest gas giant planet reaches ten times its present mass it would be ripe to start thermonuclear fusion.
"Even if Jupiter gains somewhat less than ten times its mass," said Sion, "pycnonuclear reactions that don't depend on temperature but rather density, could generate heat, ignite deuterium-burning in Jupiter which leads to a hydrogen-burning star."
So, it's possible, says Sion, that the planet Jupiter and our future Red Giant sun may form a binary star system. That is, a White Dwarf in binary motion with Jupiter as its own very new stellar companion.

This is what my life has been like in the past weekend. I've been drowning in a sea of boxes that just don't seem to be disappearing fast enough (probably because I've all but given up right now). In other words we moved house on Saturday.
We were supposed to move house on Sunday but those plans changed on Friday when our removalist (my brother in law) had a job booked suddenly for late Sunday afternoon. This would have been ok had I actually began packing before Friday night.
Friday night was pretty mad - I was up late trying to pack up my stuff, failed and slept. Saturday was pretty hectic too. I feel like my brain is all over the place at the moment and I've barely got anything organised.
One thing that is sorted is my cd's - this puts a little bit of relief and it allows me to breathe a little easier while in my room. Only a little though.
This weekend is set to be amazing. I'm going to see Kasabian and The Vaccines on Saturday night and then I'm off to the Big Day Out on Sunday. Though I'm starting to freak out a little bit about which headliner I'll be seeing. I have two choices - Kanye West (who I saw in July at Splendour in the Grass) or Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds (who is pretty much amazing). I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO... Help!
Much love
- Brooke

The Castelão was inaugurated for the first time on 11 November 1973. In order to become a World Cup venue, the stadium was completely refurbished, a process that lasted almost two years and turned the ground into a multi-purpose arena. The result was a total built-up area of 150 thousand square metres, which includes a 55 thousand square metres promenade that surrounds the venue.
The refurbished and modernised stadium was the stage of an inaugural double round on 27 January. The first match was a goalless draw between Fortaleza and Sport. In the second match, Bahia beat Ceará 1-0. The Castelão Arena was also the stage of the semi-finals of the Northeast Cup.
The arena has 1,900 indoor parking spaces under the promenade. The pitch is 105m wide by 68m wide and the grass species used was the Bermuda Celebration. From the total of 63,903 seats, 1,675 are reserved for obese people, or people with disabilities.
In the central building, there are six floors (changing rooms, FIFA lounge - where the Cultural Centre is located -, two floors with boxes, one floor for the press and another for the broadcasting booths). The seats are retractable and numbered, and were designed to resist fire and ultraviolet rays.
The Castelão has 53 boxes, one presidential box, which caters for 80 people and an exclusive kitchen. The press will have 12 booths during FIFA events, spread through a 6 thousand square metres area. There are also 44 bars and snack bars. There are 85 lavatories spread throughout all sectors. Nine changing rooms were also built.
The arena also has a "glass skin", which coats part of the façade. In addition to playing an aesthetic role, the structure reflects sun beams and reduces the heat.
The 36 thousand square metres roof is coated with a material that helps to reduce the heat. The material does not absorb heat and allows for the circulation of air in the stadium. Furthermore, it provides soundproofing and ideal shade for television broadcasting.
» See the full coverage of the Castelão's delivery ceremony
In addition to the stadium's security system, with 240 surveillance cameras positioned in strategic spots. The images will be monitored by a high tech command system. From the command room it is possible to control the access of people and vehicles to the arena, open gates and regulate the temperature in the different rooms.
As a result of having a recycling plant on the building site, 36 thousand tons of concrete, gathered by demolishing part of the old stadium, were reused when paving the new car park. Good part of the old metal structures and the roof's steel were separated and forwarded for recycling. A system for capturing rainwater and use it for irrigating the pitch and in the lavatories was implemented. The air conditioning uses less energy and gas, and all of the wood used in the project was certified.
FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014
The stadium will be the stage of six 2014 World Cup matches: four group stage matches, with Brazil taking to the pitch in one of them and another two seeded teams (D1 and G1), in addition to a second round match and a quarter-final.

This is a story told by my grandfather who was a lumberjack and farmer from Erie, Pennsylvania. He is describing a few of his injuries obtained during his lifetime on the job. He sure was tough as nails. My grandmother can be heard commenting as well.
I enjoyed listening to this in its entirety, interesting story he had! Thanks for posting!
Love his laugh! What a wonderful voice. :-)

Manyi: Govt has enough money to fund free education
Manyi says he believes the problem could be solved overnight if government shows the political will.
JOHANNESBURG - Founder of the Decolonisation Foundation and former government official Mzwanele Manyi says he knows for a fact that government does have enough money to fund free quality education but it is Treasury's fault for lacking the political will.
Speaking to Eyewitness News on the sidelines of a gala dinner hosted by Ekurhuleni Mayor Mzwandile Masina at the weekend, Manyi says there is enough money in the system to pay for free education for all.
He says that through the Decolonisation Foundation he has reported billions of rands which have been inefficiently used.
Manyi says government has enough capital to fund free university education.
"I know that there's enough money in the system. If you look at the fruitless and wasteful expenditure that the Auditor-General keeps talking about, billions of rands."
He says that ultimately, National Treasury holds the public purse but it is lacking the political will, which he says may disturb the economic status quo.
"As the current system of a colonial system, what you want is uneducated Africans so that you can exploit them, that's what you want. Now if everyone is going to run around with a degree it's going to be difficult to have cheap labour. So this is all there to ensure cheap labour."
Manyi says he believes the problem could be solved overnight if government shows the political will.

A while back I shared some hints for recognizing an Integrator, as well as some suggestions for flexing your own style to theirs. I hope you've been putting this information to good use! As a reminder, generally speaking, Integrators are empathic, diplomatic, and not likely to be competitive. They prioritize relationships, value consensus, and feel a sense of responsibility to others. They're open-minded and trusting.
Business Chemistry was designed to be simple enough to understand and remember. That's why we focus on just four primary types. But sometimes it's helpful to get a bit more granular. And in this case doing so reveals that Integrators are not all equally easy to recognize, and in fact, there are two sub-types of Integrators. The Teamer is outgoing and more extroverted, while the Dreamer is reserved and more introverted. If there's a Teamer in the room you'll probably know it, but the Dreamer is more elusive.
If you've ever had difficulty recognizing an Integrator, this difference may be why.
The Teamer is best defined by their relationships with others. Not surprisingly, given their name, Teamers prefer to work on teams rather than alone. And they go both deep and broad with their relationships, prioritizing real connections with their coworkers as well as having large networks. Teamers feel a sense of responsibility to others and value loyalty in return. They are energetic and quite comfortable expressing their emotions.
The Dreamer is typically defined by what's happening in their head and their heart, which makes them a bit harder to spot. They're reserved, particularly around new people, listening and observing more than talking. They're the most empathic type–often feeling others' emotions and communicating in ways that take those emotions into account. They strive for consensus in decision-making, don't thrive on competing, and aren't likely to be the one in charge of the group. Dreamers don't see things in black and white but instead in shades of gray, and they tend to read deeper meaning into situations. If they make a mistake, they'll spend time ruminating on what they could have done differently.
So how does this help you if you're interacting with, or maybe managing a Teamer or a Dreamer? Here are some hints:
A Teamer…
A Dreamer…
Have you seen either of these sub-types in any Integrators you've come across?

If you run a website or online business, you know how important quality, well-placed images can be in order to bring in more traffic and have online success. But what you may not have considered fully is just what and who you should be including in your images and how they may be affecting your ability to sell or connect with your target market. Picking the right people to associate with your brand is serious business. So to help you get the right people representing your brand, here are three tips for choosing people to feature in images on your website.
Beware When Using Stock Photos
Although stock photos are often a lot less expensive to use than setting up your own photo shoots and taking original pictures of your products or services, using stock images of people can really cost you in the long run. According to Jeff Davis, a contributor to WebsiteMagazine.com, website visitors respond most positively to images of people on your website when those people look authentic. If you've chosen to use an image featuring a model that is used by lots of other brands or businesses, you're potentially sacrificing your brand's credibility and giving your customers a subtle reason not to trust you. To be safe, it's best to steer clear of stock images completely.
Keeping Your "Model" on Message
Now that we've stated that using your own images and models is the best choice for your brand, how can you know if you're picking the right spokesperson to include in your photos?
If you can afford it and have the right connections, Darcy Bouzeos, a contributor to MarketingProfs.com, recommends using a celebrity spokesperson to get the most leverage for driving sales and higher traffic. For example, choosing a celebrity known for their fit body would be a great choice for a company that sells workout equipment like treadmills.
However, Bouzeos also states that the most important thing to think about when choosing a model to feature in photos is how they represent your company's values and messaging. Even the most popular or well-known model won't be very beneficial to your brand if he or she contradicts the messaging you're trying to share with your target audience. Be sure you keep this idea in mind when picking a model to work with in your business photos that will be on your website.
Focus on the Eyes and Mouth
Using images of people is a great way to put a human face to your company. However, it's important to understand what your audience is looking for, either consciously or subconsciously, when they view images of people. According to Sandra Niehaus, a contributor to Web Marketing Today, people most often look at someone's eyes and mouth for clues as to what that person is feeling or thinking. For this reason, it's vital that you ensure your model is portraying the right emotions with their eyes and mouth before you use them in a featured image on your website.
Displaying images of people on your website will help you to better connect with your audience and give them feelings of trust toward your brand. Use the tips mentioned above to pick the right people to feature in your images in order to make the most of these sales opportunities.

Yellow seems pretty harmless when it's paired with mustard or Beatles songs, but when it comes to home décor, you want to be a little careful. Don't get us wrong, we're not anti-yellowites or anything, but this frenetic, powerful color can have adverse effects on a room if it's not used strategically. Here are seven yellow design rules to keep in mind when you decorate:
Photo: West Elm
Since yellow is so bright and intense, it can actually upset babies so much that they cry more. Babies tend to do that a lot anyway, so there's no reason to shoot yourself in the foot with your nursery wall color. Go with a light blue or green instead, both of which promote calmness and sleep. On the contrary, yellow is great for your child's playroom since it sparks creativity and imagination.
Sometimes, less is more. Too much yellow is overpowering, but in small doses (lemon drops, if you will) it work extremely well. Consider perking up your living room sofa with a few yellow throw pillows or a set of curtains. Lighter yellows can also serve as great backdrops and backsplashes!
There's something extremely sleek and elegant about a yellow and black color combo. Pairing these two colors works well with things like sofa cushions, lamps and even picture frames. If you're looking for some interior design tips for black, read: Color Theory: Black Magic.
How many red and black mailboxes do you see out there? Probably a lot. It's the go-to color choice for this common household fixture, but it doesn't have to be your choice! Spice up your curb appeal with a lemon-yellow mailbox. While you're at it, why not revamp your mail organization system, too?
Yellow is sort of like that super-athletic kid at school – it's bold, strong and loves to compete with other colors. If you put yellow in a room with "big" colors such as deep red or purple, a color-confrontation may ensue. To avoid a scuffle, use yellow sparingly when there are other dominant colors around. Save it for rooms with neutral colors like gray and white. If you're not sure how much yellow you should use, follow the 60-30-10 rule.
Embarking on a paint-shopping odyssey and painting your entire entryway is one way to use yellow, but it's not the only way! There are a number of beautiful yellow fruits that you can place around your house as accents. We're partial to lemons because they can also be used for great things around the house, but bananas, squash and pineapples all work, too!
Yellow and black may create a stark, pleasant contrast, but pairing this sunshine color with calming blues and greens will give any room a lush, garden feel! If you happen to have blue tiles in your bathroom or kitchen, try out a few yellow bath- or tea-towels for a fresh, springtime pairing. We think you'll be pleased with the results!

Over the last number of weeks there has been a lot of change in my world, so I have been neglecting my studies. As a result I had to put a number of hours into my Personal Trainer course yesterday. Like many of the previous sections, a lot of it came naturally to me. I covered training loads, periodization (areas I have personally dabbled in over the years) and nutrition. Nutrition is proving really enjoyable and although I'm familiar with a lot of what's been said, it's great to cover these areas again. Recently, Remie has begun making homemade Paleo Granola. It is absolutely delicious and is increasing my protein intake which is essential as my Ironman Training load increases. I have just 13 sections left to complete and then I'll have my final exams. That reminds me, I need to re-test for my lifeguard certificate this summer. Busy times. If anyone wants to talk about training plans or nutrition please drop me a mail. This isn't just study for me I love this stuff so even if it's just for a chat, lets have it. - Phil

Project: Lake District giftware
I created a small giftware range called Lake District Designs. I was born on the edge of the National Park in North West Cumbria and spent my youth walking its fells and mountains. It's an ancient landscape shaped by ice and rock on which numerous peoples have left their mark, from the Romans to the Celts and the Norse. I developed a series of vintage prints using old Railway posters as my inspiration. www.lakedistrictdesigns.co.uk

Small things make me happy. Like books. Children's books to be exact. And I'm picky. I like the hard back ones with thick pages, the kind that slide smoothly on your finger when you lick it to turn the page. I swear, part of the reason I chose elementary when it came to my teaching education was because I would get to read these hard-backed treasures aloud. I used to dream of how I would hold up the book while I read it, spanning the open pages from left to right for all the kids to see…how I would pronounce the words with perfect diction and creative inflection to make characters come alive…how the little kiddies would all silently award me the "best read aloud" they had ever heard after each of my "performances." To this day, one of the things I miss most about teaching is reading books aloud.
But now I read to my sweet audience of one, and I take great pleasure in stocking up her library for future performances. Hence our book store trips on rainy, cold days. Today, Brandyn came along and was tickled to be a part of it. "How come you go to Borders every time it's cold out?" he asked in the car. Because it's a perfectly good excuse to add another treasure to her bookshelf. Because bookstores on rainy days are like popcorn at the movies or apple pie on Thanksgiving. Because it just goes.
So, we took our time searching for the next treasure that would grace her collection. We paged through the classics and the Caldecotts and, as much as I always lean toward the older, more simply-illustrated books like Beatrix Potter, I let Brandyn pick out her book today and Bad Dog, Marley it was–hard-back, of course. I made sure the pages made the perfect crinkle noise and passed the licked-finger test. It may not be a classic or a Caldecott, but with oodles of funny dialogue, it's sure to guarantee future note-worthy performances.
Oh…and that picture is her crawling in the "plush pit" in the back corner of Borders where, if there was a contest for fastest tag-finding time, she would surely take first place. She found the tag on every single one of those stinkin' Elmos within seconds.

ROME — Beginning this semester, students at the University of Missouri will get a hands-on opportunity to study ancient artifacts through a pilot project with the Capitoline Museums in Rome.
The museums have lent 249 Roman-era artifacts of black-glazed pottery to the university for students to research and catalog. Culled from the museums' cavernous deposits — the repository covers roughly 150 years of modern excavations in the Italian capital — the as yet unstudied artifacts will give students at the Midwestern university tangible exposure to Mediterranean archaeology.
In exchange, the objects will return to the museums with a scholarly pedigree that the Roman institution could not afford on its own.
The initiative is a novelty in Italy, a country that has traditionally kept a tight hold on its cultural patrimony, and also marks a new outreach effort on the part of the Culture Ministry, which facilitated the export of the artifacts. Crucial sponsorship came by way of Enel Green Power, the clean energy unit of the Italian utility Enel, which financed the initiative.
"Our primary interest was in creating highways of knowledge between countries, because it's a way to give back to the community," said Francesco Venturini, the chief executive officer of Enel Green Power, which developed the project as part of the company's commitment to corporate social responsibility.
The university had plenty of material to choose from. Only a part of the nearly 100,000 artifacts in the Capitoline's deposits have been properly analyzed and cataloged.
"What's exciting is that these are unstudied or inadequately studied pieces because they're part of a backlog created in the 19th century," said Alex W. Barker, the director of the university's Museum of Art and Archaeology.
The project is a "huge opportunity," he added, that permits the university to "engage students with primary materials that they might otherwise not have access to" and that delivers results "of benefit to our Italian colleagues" and to scholarship in general.
The materials arrived in Missouri at the beginning of the month and are being stored at the museum. The formal analysis of the pieces — a detailed examination to determine class, typology, manufacture, period, style and context — will be undertaken by senior graduate students in concert with professors. "It's the one-on-one training that is important in Ph.D. programs," Dr. Barker said.
Supervised undergraduate students will assist the museum staff in analyzing the artifacts using various techniques available at the Archaeometry Laboratory at the University of Missouri Research Reactor. The lab is considered one of the most advanced of its kind in the United States, and has helped analyze more than 145,000 archaeological specimens from around the world over the past 25 years. Students and professors will decide how best to structure the data gleaned from the analysis, adhering to standards used by both American and foreign scholars.
"These are costly tests that we would have never been able to afford on this side of the ocean," said Antonella Magagnini, a senior curator at the Capitoline Museums who helped develop the research project.
"This kind of large-scale loan for research purposes is unprecedented" in Italy, said Claudio Parisi Presicce, the director of the Capitoline Museums, noting that the sheer volume of unstudied materials — whether in bronze, glass or marble — meant that "the potential of this project is enormous." The museums, he added, hold countless examples of objects used in daily life, "so it's a rich font of information about the ancient world."
Once studied and returned to Italy, the objects could go on display in a long-awaited, but yet to be built, municipal museum about ancient Rome.
Formally, the collaboration between the museum and the university is to last two years, although it seeks to be open ended in spirit. "Hopefully we've made things simpler for other projects and other universities," Dr. Barker said.
Several institutions have expressed an interest in initiating similar exchanges. Enel Green Power is sponsoring a project at the Rhode Island School of Design that will start in October, while collaborations will begin next year at the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas at Austin. Enel Green Power is also in preliminary talks with the University of California, Los Angeles; the University of California, Berkeley; Stanford, New York University, Yale and Harvard.
Enel Green Power will invest about 100,000 euros, or about $130,000, in each project, and will choose universities with innovative ideas for studying the artifacts, Mr. Venturini said. "Our objective is to extend the exchange to different institutions. We don't see this project ending if it works," he said.

Significant In Early Childhood EducationMay 20
I cannot believe that we are at the finish of this journey and so close to completing our Master's in Early Childhood Research! Terminal degrees can range from a Medical professional of Philosophy (PhD) to Medical professional of Education (ED) to expert degrees, like a Physician of Ministry (DMin). As well several individuals list the degree data and the teaching experience and forget to add the element exactly where they actually did the function involved with that topic. This course gives a extensive view of the procedures involved in establishing and administering a youngster care education system. Courses cover a number of relevant subjects, from children's development and language acquisition to the impact of parents and communities on childhood education. Think of all the issues you could do even though you are simultaneously obtaining your degree. With our online ECE program, you can select a pace that is correct for you, so you can progress as quickly as you'd like. You can apply anytime for an on the internet teaching job nonetheless as schools are usually recruiting.
The effect of the Net now allows early childhood education by means of on the web schools, schooling on the internet from distance learning and home schooling online to offer numerous educational choices. One local organization that I identified appealing was the Colorado Department of Education. I have learned about myself that I am disciplined and committed to my profession in the early childhood field. The federal Early Childhood-Child Welfare (ECCW) Partnership was formally brought collectively in 2009 amongst federal agencies to improve collaboration between child welfare and early childhood communities. The Early Childhood Education program contains a specialization in Infant and Toddler Care. Understand the goal of observation and assessment in the early childhood classroom.
Ashford graduates will be topic to extra needs on a state-by-state basis that will include 1 or a lot more of the following: student teaching or practicum expertise, further coursework, extra testing, or, if the state calls for a certain sort of degree to seek alternative certification, earning an added degree. If you want to become a classroom teacher, speak to your state's education authorities prior to enrolling at Ashford to establish what state-specific needs you need to full prior to getting your teacher's license. Associate Degrees from Penn Foster College are awarded below licensing from the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education.
Our system gives many totally on-line choices for furthering your knowledge in caring for and teaching young youngsters like almost everything from person courses for skilled development or licensure renewal, CDA, Associate's degrees and a Bachelor's degree. An exception to this may be a person who has a master's of enterprise administration (MBA) with 18 hours in advertising as part of the graduate degree transcript. The Early Childhood Neighborhood of Practice (COP) gives an chance for discussion, collaboration, and the exchange of tips and sources connected to young children in between the ages of birth to 8 who have mental health challenges and are at the moment being served by technique of care communities. At present, colleges supplying online teaching jobs will use what is typically referred to as a Finding out Management Program (LMS). Let's say you have a Doctorate in Education (ED) with a specialization in early childhood education.
Curriculum alternatives in our master's and specialist applications are designed to allow students to turn out to be teacher leaders, college instructors, as well as curriculum specialists, state testing specialists and textbook organization representatives. Salary data includes earnings of July 2014 – June 2015 Rasmussen College graduates who reported salary information, reviewed 12 months after graduation. If you hold a doctorate from a college that is nationally accredited, like by means of the Distance Education and Coaching Counsel (DETC), you are likely only going to get hired by means of one more DETC college. In this system, 3 credits from the major could also satisfy Basic Education requirements.

Here's an interesting finding I ran across this morning in Deepak Chopra's book "Ageless Body, Timeless Mind."
"…a hidden factor in (aging) could be dehydration which impairs a person's judgment before he realizes that there is a problem" suggests the author.
"Not drinking enough water every day is one of the commonest conditions in old age, and although it has received almost no publicity, chronic dehydration is a major cause of preventable aging," he stated.
Some authorities go so far as to count dehydration among the leading causes of death in old age. When body fluids fall below a certain level, the physiology begins to enter a toxic state; vital electrolyte balance is thrown off and eventually so is the balance of brain chemistry.
The results can be a host of difficulties – anything from kidney failure and heart attack to blackouts, dizziness lethargy, and full blown senile dementia. As the person becomes less alert and more forgetful about staying hydrated, a vicious cycle is established.
Unfortunately he doesn't spell out how much is enough. I don't know about you, but I'm off to find my BIG SLURPY cup and do some heavy drinking.

About the Mar Lodge Estate
At the heart of the Cairngorms National Park lies Mar Lodge, a a restored Victorian sporting lodge set in 29,380 hectares of wilderness, heather and ancient pine.
Visited by nobility since the medieval period, this prime Highland estate is now recognised as one of Scotland's most important conservation sites. From significant archaeological finds, to rare wildlife, and four of Britain's highest mountains, the estate is a jewel in the crown of one of the country's most iconic landscapes.
About the Area
Royal Deeside weaves along the River Dee, overlapping the Cairngorms National Park and Aberdeenshire. Best known for its majestic scenery, it is also an area rich in wildlife from alpine flora to Scottish wildcats.
Deeside's most famous admirer, Queen Victoria, purchased the Balmoral estate in 1848, and the royal connections continue to this day, with Princes William and Harry being regular visitors to the area. The nearest town to Mar Lodge is Braemar where you'll find local amenities as well as bases for hiking and skiing.
Things to do
- Adventure-lovers can test themselves with challenging mountain hikes, while gentler walks can be enjoyed along lowland paths through magnificent countryside.
- Summertime is perfect for mountain-biking, and in winter downhill and cross-country skiing at Glenshee are only a short drive away.
The Mar Lodge Ranger service runs a number of scheduled walks and events throughout the year and information on these can be found on our website - www.nts.org.uk/marlodge. However we can also be available on a more casual basis to guide visitors around the estate - whether you want to see spectacular wildlife, epic scenery or even just go for a post-Christmas leg stretch. Please call the Rangers office on 013397 20164 for more information.

Imagine entering a huge arena. A spot of intense light reveals a boxing ring in the distance, spotlights lining the edges of the arena, all seats filled. The audience? Every life form that exists, and ever has existed. Elephants sitting next to amoebas, an octopus next to the hummingbird, and even the lowly virus has shown up to see the event sitting in special quarantine box seats.
The referee grabs the microphone. "In this corner, we have the young upstart – Heeu-man-itee!" A small cheer goes up, mostly from the primates.
"In the opposing corning, we have the reigning cham-peen, vanquisher of all things, the bringer of life, and incarnation of death itself, Muth-Er Nay-chur!" A huge roar as almost every living thing vibrates the air in some way.
"All right you two. I want a clean fight, no cheating!" DING!
The fight is on in the form of today's rancorous political debates about climate change, and an undercurrent of bravado exists in all camps. The deniers claim that the scientists have their signals wrong, or that everything they are seeing is simply a "new normal." The doomsayers are equally intent in their own convictions, as well as confident as to their suggestions for addressing the problem.
The details of either side aren't important for now. What we're going to focus on is the single confrontation between humans and Mother Nature. Let's call her Mom for short.
People feel powerful. We have conquered fire, we build houses that touch the sky. We build large lakes where none existed in order to generate power and feed a billion people. We fly through the air even though we haven't any wings. We swim deep under the water, even though we have no gills. We have seen the atom, and the edge of the observable universe. No wonder we feel powerful.
On the other hand, what has Mom done lately? She's pretty tame, for the most part. In fact, 999 times out of a thousand, Mom is nothing but peace and quiet. Waves gently lapping at the shore, gentle breezes rustling the leaves, puffy clouds.
Don't be fooled. Mom can jostle a tectonic plate and bring down entire cities. She can burp a volcano and cancel summer. She can twist a hurricane out of thin air and wash away a coastline. And she can parch an entire continent for decades without even trying.
Here's where bravado meets reality. Mom is all powerful. She represents forces many times greater than we can even dream of harnessing. What little we have accomplished was done with her passive acquiescence. Should she ever object, there is nothing we can do that can stop her.
This is an important reality check for all true students, whether of behavior or civil engineering or anything else. We succeed only as much as Mom allows. We must show her respect, and pray for mercy.
Now, back to our boxing ring. I hope we didn't miss anything.
DING! "And the weenner is …!"

What Extra Training Is Necessary To Become A Licensed Day Care Provider?
All day care providers are required to obtain and maintain a national certification in first aid and safety, as well as pediatric CPR and rescue breathing. This is very important, especially for in-home caregivers who live a great distance from the hospital and may not always be able to be quickly reached by an ambulance. Their ability to react swiftly to emergency situations in this case may decide if the child lives or dies. Training for this certification can be obtained by individuals through the Red Cross. Class schedules are posted on their website. If the Red Cross is not a feasible option, a local hospital or fire department should be able to recommend another route and possibly even share the details of when and where classes will be. Some groups will allow those individuals attempting to obtain training for employment purposes to join in their company certification classes, although the individual will be responsible for their own course fees in such an event.
A minimum level of secondary education in child development, psychology or education is often required as well, the exact level of which being dependent on the position an individual holds and their prior programmatic experience. A day care provider should be able to deal with all situations that arise with their students. Unfortunately, students cannot be classified as good or bad and left to their own devices. If a child is having difficulty learning or is displaying less than savory behavior patterns a good day care teacher must then become a detective, using their training in child development, psychology and education to deduce the reason behind the problem and the most effective solution Most colleges and universities will offer both individual classes and degree programs in these subjects, and will offer financial aid to qualified applicants attempting to complete a degree program.
Even after a license for a day care has been obtained, a provider's training is not finished. All licensed day care providers must complete an established amount of continuing education credits annually to maintain their licensure. Continuing education credits are required for a professional to keep abreast on current developments and keep their knowledge up to date and in the forefront of their mind. These can be obtained through classes, meetings, activities and seminars. A list of approved continuing education activities can be obtained from employers or through the licensing agency itself.
Being a daycare provider is a challenging job, without any of the absolutes that can be found in many other fields. The required training to obtain a license will allow an individual to travel to and remain at the top in their profession.

|Past IDPA Sharp Shooting Champion, Luis Montalto and I playing tag and telling our stories. Note the 3 posters in the background with Armas CR and Mil-Comm Products printed on them. In fact, all of it in Spanish and English. Wonderful job Luis!
Mil-Comm Products is on the map
We started at 8:15 a.m. and were done at 11:15 a.m. It became a real show, as students began to raise their hands and ask questions. I told them the history of Mil-Comm and how my Uncle Bob started the business and the military pedigree that Mil-Comm has.
|We showed them each product and how they interacted with each other to make a wholly functional lubrication system that is non-toxic and far better and longer lasting than petroleum products on the market today.
They brought their own dirty weapons and cleaned them with the Mil-Comm cleaning kit we supplied each student. Soon we were all quietly working together. They asked Luis or me to comment on their efforts and we were happy to guide them. Boy, was it a fun day!
|This picture should keep home invaders up at night. Armed Citizens who've trained to defend themselves and learned to keep their equipment up, far outnumber the bad guys.
|Alone in my own little world with a particularly nasty H&K barrel
There was a moment of Graduation where I got to shake each student's hand and present a signed document. No pictures of that but here's a picture of the degree.
|Luis and I each signed the documents. I was touched with the sincerity of each student.
|Notice questions are in Spanish and English. THANK YOU LUIS and DIEGO for your tireless work the night before
8:00 a.m.

Mount Olive had to earn the top spot in the Conference Carolinas men's volleyball standings Wednesday night in Salisbury, N.C. The Trojans did just that, fighting off a miracle comeback for a 25-22, 25-20, 25-27, 16-25, 15-11 over Pfeiffer in a rematch of last season's conference championship game. The win keeps the Trojans perfect in conference play and gives the squad a two-game lead over Pfeiffer.
The Trojans (10-3 overall, 9-0 CC) got double figures in kills from Adam Miracle and Angel Dache (16 apiece) and Alex Rivero (11), while Ben Casado added 53 assists.
Mount Olive cruised through the first two sets and was ready to close out the sweep when Pfeiffer came alive. Facing match point, the Falcons (8-4, 7-2) rallied to win game three, then won game four easily to set up a tie-breaker.
In the fifth game, the Falcons took a 7-6 lead on a kill by Caleb Brophy. Then a service error by Pfeiffer got the Trojans started. Rivero delivered a kill, then Richard Hesse followed with a block for a 9-7 lead Mount Olive never relinquished. Twice Pfeiffer closed within a point at 9-8 and 10-9, but the Falcons got no closer. A kill by Tim Ebbecke and a Rivero ace extended the lead to 13-10, then kills by Dache and Ebbecke ended the comeback attempt.
In the opening game, the Trojans got a kill from Hesse to close out a Pfeiffer comeback. After battling back and forth for most of the game, Mount Olive scored four of five points including kills by Casado and Rivero to build a 22-17 cushion. A service error, followed by an attack error by the Hawks brought Mount Olive to game point. Pfeiffer fought off four attempts by the Trojans to finish off the game before Hesse delivered the winner.
In game two, the Trojans found themselves behind much of the game. Trailing 16-14, Mount Olive made its move. A service error by the Falcons got things started, then two aces by Dache and kills by Dache and Miracle put the Trojans ahead to stay. After Pfeiffer broke Mount Olive's service, Adam Miracle and Rivero added kills as the Trojans put the game away.
Miracle accounted for kills on Mount Olive's last three points in the game. All came on assists from Casado.
Mount Olive was within a point of completing the sweep in game three. With the score tied 22-22, Rivero delivered a kill and Ebbecke followed with a block to put the Trojans at match point. After a Pfeiffer timeout, however, a service error and a pair of attack errors put the Falcons ahead 25-24. A Miracle kill prevented the Falcons from closing out the set before Sonny Hirini delivered back-to-back kills to force game four.
In the fourth game, the Trojans never led after the Falcons used a 5-1 run to take an 11-7 advantage early.
Mount Olive fell to Pfeiffer in three sets in the championship match of the 2012 Conference Carolinas Tournament. Pfeiffer also won both regular season meetings.
Mount Olive returns home Saturday to face Eastern Mennonite University beginning at 4 p.m.

Our favourite things tell stories of wear and tear and joy. What I love to do is source and sew second hand textiles that have been passed on or passed over into new, joyous, favourite things for others.
I create for comfort and usefulness, and am fascinated by the intersection of domesticity and craft; of how art fits into our everyday lives.
Why fabric? Working with textiles connects me to my mother, who has been an avid seamstress throughout her life, and to my grandmother, whose quilting bees with the ladies from church in the basement of her mod 60's house I fondly remember. Fabric connects us all from the blankets we snuggle with to the layers with which we clothe ourselves.
I care about beauty in the everyday, cultivating thoughtfulness and understanding for our world and environment, and doing work that is aligned with my values as best I can.
I hope you enjoy my work and that it connects you with rich memories of your own.

Month: January 2018
Functions of behavior…
Why do my students act the way they do?
There are four functions of behavior that all actions can be categorized into. Behavior may be to gain attention from adult or peers, escape from a demand or task, fulfill a sensory need, or attempt to gain access to an item!
Mands… what are they?
The cycle of teaching!
As teachers, you are well-versed in how to write lesson plans, create learning opportunities, create routines, best practices in teaching, and countless other teaching skills that occur regularly!
Something that may help to bridge the gap is:
Data should be collected about all teaching and organizational components.
- do your students have difficulty following directions?
- does it seem that no one knows how to complete group work?
- what was the range of scores on the last exam?
- are the same students always participating?
Look at:
- what are the expectations of students?
- healthy competition?
- are routines learned and utilized? do they need revision?
- educational structure? individualized? differentiated?
- classroom management? Does it need a re-vamp? do you have PBIS in place?
These are just the first steps! What do you come up with?
- look at your data, and answer the questions
- create potential options for solutions, then determine pros and cons of each
- make the best decision for change
- determine the change and make it happen
- do you need more research to implement?
- do you need assistance to implement?
It's time to make a change. What will your change look like?

- Sometimes the calculations are only rough approximations of complex systems.
- Sometimes scientists are making their best guesses, but aren't all making the same guess.
- Sometimes it may be out of date information.
- Sometimes i won't know which of the above is the case.
I'd like to know about any out-of-date info i've included, but i expect to find sources that don't exactly agree.
While i do strive for accuracy and understanding, it's also important not to get carried away with details that aren't important for one's purpose.
