Jill talks about changing url's in her post here. In my opinion, if you have a good ranking URL then to change it for the sake of a position or 2 is a little silly and potentially destructive.
That said, it did get me thinking about the whole keywords in url thing around whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to use them.
Perhaps bad thing doesn't really come in to it. Besides excessive use, I can't think of any bad reason at all. I think if anything they are good thing as they are both descriptive for humans and may also gain you a little weight in any link based algorithm that gave weight to keywords in the anchor text of a link, especially if people chose to link to you using the url only. Seen within a SERP they may also inspire a user to click through, simply via the fact that they tie the page to to the user query.
Consider this.
Now, if that url is picked up by a search engine then any anchor text attribution will either be of the form 123456789 or keyword-keyword. Keyword-keyword would certainly be of more benefit especially as -'s are treated as space delimiters. (Jill does cover this in her piece, so do go checkout what she said)
So what to do? Do we create nice juicy keyword urls in our CMS's or do we just stick to short xyzpagename.htm conventions? I think it's pretty clear to say that we'd be better served long term by using keywords in our URL's, if only for the user benefits mentioned previously.
Algorithmically do keywords in a url even matter?
It's hard to prove or disprove absolutely. I've tested this in the past and at the time I came to the conclusion that keywords in a url were worth doing and did give you an additional asset. Yet I can't say with any certainty that the same applies today and forver more, simply because there are too many variables at play and you can't ever be certain for sure around what SERPs are being weighted in which way and why. IMO different SERPs have different entry criteria, what might be easy to rank for in one space will be doubly difficult in another, simply because of how the algo has been weighted at the backend.
Search algorithms are a constantly moving target, (a little like search guidelines 😉 ) They are updated and modified to take into account both the changing nature of the Internet itself as well as the actions of SEO's looking to exploit a flaw or two.
How would you test such a thing?
There are all manner of ways of testing things, or reverse engineering algorithms to test and see how they work. I won't focus too much on the software that already exists out there other than to say that some programs allow you to analyse SERPs and look at things like keyword placement and densities and back link numbers and other contributing factors to overall SERP position, none of which do any kind of definitive 'that's the whole unifying answer to what you seek' simply because there are too many hidden variables that we don't have absolute access and scrutiny of. These might be the trust rank number of the page or domain that links out, the human factor of the edited SERP whereby a search engine employee has artificailly downgraded or boosted a particular page or domain.
Thankfully, for the purpose of this little test, I think there is still a way to determine whether keywords in a url have a contributory benefit.For the basis of this example, in a test of 'do keywords in the url have any bearing on a serp' here is what you might want to try.
Create 2 pages of equal size and structure.
Lets say that each page has a title tag, a h1 tag a paragraph of random nonsense text with an instance of the 'magic' keyword. The magic keyword would be something like huggersaurus, that mythical friendly dinosaur with a penchant for squashing people with love.
Page one would would mention the keyword in the title, the Hn tag, the p tag and in the url.
Page two would would mention the keyword in the title, the Hn tag, the p tag but not within the url.
We would then link to these pages using our anchor text and see what one would be returned first in any SERP.
We would need to vary the other words with our title and Hn and paragraph tags in a way that created two different pages of equal size and keyword density. It wouldn't really help our test if one was demoted on the basis of some dupe content penalty.
We'd also need to ensure that for the purposes of our test, we measured and monitored what page we linked to first and how.
For example, I might well create a link_to_page_one_ here, then a link_to_page_two_here.
Any bot encountering such links *might* well take into account what link was cited first and apply a small degree of weight in any date_encountered_timestamp field. To account for this, we would run another test in tandem that reversed the positions, so that we linked to page with keywords in the url second, rather than 1st. The pages would be of equal size and structure albeit with a different keyword.We could then look at what page was returned in any SERP and draw our various conclusions. If page with keyword in URL was returned 1st, then we could say that keywords in the URL do have a slight advantage over those that do not.
If we wanted to, we could also play around a little more and link to the pages in different ways. We could see if anchor text gave a significant boost to our pages and record how variances affected the outcomes. We could for example link to the page with the single keyword or multiple keywords, or the absence of the keywords and rinse and repeat until we were happy with our results.
Lots of SEO's do this sort of stuff, it's a great way of learning about algo's and weightings and how the positioning of elements can and does have an effect of the makeup of a SERP. That said, lots of SEO's don't bother either, simply because they already have an instinctual feel for what works and what doesn't. They know how to get pages ranked and know the best methods for doing so. They don't need to test such things and unless you are an anorak geek, neither should you really! It's fun to play around with it though, dont you think? 😀

Winterhold Stormcloak Camp is a Stormcloak encampment in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
The Stormcloaks will set up camp here only during the Civil War quest line. There is a quartermaster and the usual array of crafting stations, a large map in one tent to potentially gain new map data, and a few chests.
Winterhold is one of the Stormcloaks' holds at the start of the game, so this camp may continue to exist so long as they continue to control Winterhold. Otherwise, there will be no camp and only an unmarked Shrine of Arkay at this location.
- Civil War Quest (when active, depending on who the Dragonborn sided with)

The Real Deal, Not the Fake One/
So. I'm here. More or less. Mostly more, oddly enough, because a big chunk of my brain is thinking about how to manage this website and the blog over the next year or so. My poor brain is working over time --- indeed, most days I feel as though a SERIOUS fermentation is taking place inside my skull. A full, roiling bubble of mysterious gases, micro-organisms, and chemical processes and reactions.
If I could clone myself, or graft on an additional set of hands for typing, this blog would be clogged to the max with all manner of observations and ideas. Instead, about half the fermentation evaporates before I can grab hold of it.
But part of what's going on is that I'm trying to figure out how to use that ferment to its maximal value (not sure that makes sense?) AND, more important, where, precisely to deposit the output. I started blogging in 2006 and the universe of online media has changed dramatically in that time, and especially so in the past year.
For example, there's a new outlet available called Medium. It's still in beta (more or less) but I asked for and got an account. I've still not used it (except privately: meaning my output there can't be seen by anyone but me) because as I explored the site, I realized: "Oh, hell. This is a valuable tool, but it's one that needs to be used with care rather than in the random, slapdash way I use my own blog/site."
And that, in turn, got me thinking even more than I already was about this site here and how to use it.
And of course there's also Facebook which, as it turns out, is an incredibly useful way to zip off the random stuff I used to dump here. Which in turn made me realize how random my output here at the site was and also made me wonder how wise that was and . . .
You see my dilemma: An abundance of riches in my brain (well, okay, they're only riches in my own mind, no pun intended; no doubt 99% of the ferment is total crap) plus an abundance of ways to disseminate it plus entirely too many demands tugging at my time equals --- a stalled engine.
Or so it feels like to me.
Add this to the mix: This is the moment in the book production process when many people are in charge of my life.
Most days, I decide what to do and when to do it and how to do it. But when book production is in full swing, as it is now, I'm no longer in charge of anything. Instead, other people, all with their own multiple deadlines and demands, are calling the shots. It's not easy to shift gears and go from being the boss to being the flunky, if you know what I mean. (Not that I'm complaining. I'm not. Many writers would like to be in my shoes.)
Anyway --- I started out with a point and now, of course, and no surprise, have completely forgotten what that point was. You see? Ferment in this case too often equals mush.
I just finished reading Michael Pollan's new book Cooked, and fermentation and chemical processes are much on my mind. As is the content of a longish review of the book -- which, by the way, I HIGHLY recommend. Forget his politics. The guy is an incredibly good writer. I read that kind of prose and think to myself "Why bother? Go back to waiting tables, you fool."
But it's probably too late for that. (Unless the new book simply bombs, in which case I may well call it quits. Although I rather doubt anyone will want a sixty-year-old waitress, especially one who's not waited tables now for about 25 years.)
But what WAS I going to say here? The title of this entry meant something when I started . . . See? BRAIN MUSH.

This review of the TUFF Products EDC Kit is a little biased…
Not because of anything they did. It's just that I love their flashlight but I hate "Tactical pens"…
I'll explain in the article below.
This kit includes:
Break Out Tactical Pen
T180 Rotating Head Flashlight
Stainless Steel Money Clip
Gift Box
Batteries are included.
-TUFF Products T180 flashlight.This is a well-made flashlight of the every day carry size and is essentially unique in its ability to use both CR 123 and AA batteries. Output is reduced when swapping from the CR 123 battery to the AA. Maximum output on CR 123 is approximately 130 lm, while output with a AA battery is limited to about 90. The switch is comfortable and gives a positive click when initiated. The body is anodized aluminum with good knurling. This should provide a good grip even in wet conditions or with gloves. All indications are that this flashlight will last you a very long time.
Runtimes are comparable with several other flashlights from manufacturers such a Surefire, Thrunite and Nitecore. Many lights in this category offer the ability to run for several days in a "moonlight mode" but that is not the intended purpose of this light. It is rated to run approximately 106 minutes on a cr123 and 50 minutes on a AA in high mode. I exceeded both by nearly 50% They don't provide a low mode runtime but I got up to 44 hours on a cr123 and a 37 hours on a AA. I was impressed that it came with Energizer batteries and not the standard off brand Chinesium garbage that are included with most things. It also works great on a rechargeable lithium ion 14500 battery and the 16340. My recorded time for strobe mode was 6hrs 19 minutes.
It has been handy. I left it in my pocket and aimed the head where I needed some handsfree lighting. I also clipped it to my hat and was able to aim the light directly at the project I was working on. I think it would make an excellent light in a pocket for a LEO to write tickets/paperwork, trail hiker on a backpack strap, or a mechanic under a hood/car. Sure beats holding one in your teeth.
While the overall output on high isn't really impressive when compared with other lights on the market, even at a similar price point. Brightness is not the whole measure of a light. 90% of tasks can be performed with 50-100 lumens. A ton more light is rarely as handy as a light that's built to last and gets the job done. This light fits a nice broad group of uses and makes up for its lower output by making it easier to put useful light where you actually need it, with minimal effort.
-BreakOut Tactical Pen
I'm not a huge fan of the whole Tactical Pen craze. I've never really seen the point (sorry…bad pun). My opinion has changed with this pen for three reasons:
1. This pen looks nicer than the usual "Mall Ninja" varieties.
2. The glass breaker point isn't so sharp that I'm afraid to carry it in my pocket.
3. The stylus ACTUALLY works!
I think this pen has found a new home in my daily routine. The aluminum body is much more elegant than the majority of Tactical Pens on the market. I guess it's time to retire my Zebra 701
-Tactical Money Clip
I have no idea what's "Tactical" about a money clip but this one seems nice. It's well made from stainless steel and has no sharp edges to destroy your pockets. I'll prlay with it for a few more days but it is pretty comfy in the pocket. It's the right length and the curved edges make it even nicer to carry.

Three & Out Defense: Week 2 Navy Midshipmen/
Written By Sammy Jacobs (@sammyj108)
Welcome back to our "Three and Out" series as we will take a look at the keys for the Hoosier defense heading into Saturday evening's game with Navy. Navy will present Indiana with the unique challenge of trying to stop the triple option. This type of offense is very difficult to game plan for, however it is not unstoppable. As you prepare to head down to Bloomington or are just settling in on the couch for the weekend here are some of the defensive keys to stopping this potent running attack from the Midshipmen.
1. Stay Disciplined on Defense- This does not just mean not committing stupid penalties, but also not doing too much or trying to be a hero. In order to stop the triple option offense a defense must stay on assignment. If your read is the quarterback stay on the quarterback and let the man covering the fullback take the fullback. Of course avoiding silly penalties is also a must in order to win any game. It is vital in the effort to stop the rushing attack of Navy.
2. Get off the field- The Hoosier defense did a solid job against Indiana State of limiting drives and getting off the field when they had a chance. Due to the nature of Navy's offense the Hoosiers will not get as many possessions as they would against a "normal" team. Last year Indiana only had 10 total possessions against the Midshipmen. If the defense can create more possessions for the Hoosiers through turnovers and 3rd down stops, Indiana should have no trouble dispatching a tough Navy squad.
3. Make Tackles- Navy's offense is not as explosive as many think, however if you miss tackles against them a play that should go for no gain ends up going for four or five yards. With a young Hoosier defense good tackling should be a priority over going for the big hit. For the Hoosiers to get the victory the defense must play physical, but not out of control.
Week two may be too early to call this a must win game, but playing a team that does not have the talent or depth that Indiana has and playing at home this game is huge for the Hoosiers' bowl aspirations. Navy is bringing a good crowd to Bloomington and Hoosier Nation should be out in full force after a full day of festivities, but Indiana must protect the Rock.

Frequently Asked QuestionsClick the arrow for more information
What is orientation?
The college experience at Murray State begins with Summer Orientation. All new incoming freshmen and transfer students are expected to attend one of the eight one-day sessions available. Summer O has been designed to assist you in developing an understanding about the transition you will make to your collegiate environment and to enhance your success in college.
For our incoming freshman, attending orientation will be your earliest chance to register for fall classes. If you do not attend a Summer O session, you are not allowed to sign up for classes until after the last orientation session occurs.
For our transfer students, we encourage you to contact your academic advisor before you attend an orientation session and schedule your classes as soon as possible.
Who may attend?
All new incoming freshmen and transfer students who have been admitted for the Fall 2018 semester are eligible to attend Summer O. Parents, spouses, and guests are also able to attend at no extra charge and will go through a separate orientation.

Every so often (weekly at the moment), I'll be writing a commentary about a story from EMPTY ROOMS LONELY COUNTRIES. I'll tackle the stories in the order they appear in the book. Given the nature of this exercise, I cannot guarantee that I won't spoil specific details from the story. So you may want to return to the commentaries here when you've finished reading the book. If I don't address an aspect of the story you were interested in, by all means leave a question at the end of this post and I'll do my best to answer it.
It's pushing at two in the morning on a Monday night. My body tells me I should've been in bed hours ago but the beer special keeps telling me different. Not that I need an excuse. I'm purposely avoiding my bed tonight. It's too empty and not the place it once was.
I'm happy I chose to put this story after "Paris". Because the events of this story happen after the Paris parts of the story, but before the ending of the relationship, I think this paints a fairly accurate portrait of where I was mentally in-between. I remember those days pretty well in South Tampa, like being in limbo. My head was already thinking ahead to the possibility of moving to Europe and every day felt like torture with all the waiting. I felt like my life was in a holding pattern, circling the destination clearly in sight, but never getting any closer.
The non-flashback portions of "Bookends" took place in the Dubliner Irish Pub in South Tampa. I can remember this evening fairly well, sitting at the outside bar. The conversation between me and Robin is practically verbatim:
"What was that?" I asked. "The devil's here?"
"Yeah," said Robin. "She's–"
"And she's a she. Excellent."
"You're that writer guy. I've heard about you."
"Heard about me? What have you heard?"
"Good or bad stuff?"
"Some good. Mostly bad."
"Where is she?"
"The girl talking shit about you? She's not here."
"I meant the devil."
"I'm not crazy, you know." She smacked her forehead. "I know people crazier than me and I'm not crazy."
"I didn't say you were."
"Just because the devil's here don't mean I'm crazy."
It's the kind of conversation that I immediately know is going to end up on paper later.
Thinking more and more, what a bizarre time this was for me. This story and "Paying the Tab" explain it pretty well. There are quite a few little events that happened that I never set down in writing and for the life of me, I can't figure out why. Maybe because I was too busy looking forward at that point, too busy waiting to take the jump.
"You're going to write about this, aren't you?"
"Probably," I said. "Don't worry, I won't use your name or anything like that."
"That's fine – it's okay. I must sound pretty fucked up."
"I've heard worse."
"That's too bad." She rubbed her eyes. "So, what's your story?"
"I can't even compete, really. The usual. My life's not too exciting."
I was listening to Simon and Garfunkel quite a bit in those days, so you'll probably notice more than a few references to their music in the story, title included.
We are getting closer to the stories in Poland.

Yesterday the United Nations Security Council voted to approve Resolution 2140, which you can read in full right here. There's a lot of fairly standard stuff in the resolution about how the UNSC supports Yemen's democratic transition, but the important part starts at paragraph 10, under the heading "Further Measures." Bottom line: after two years of threatening to do so, the UNSC is finally establishing a framework by which to impose sanctions on specific individuals who are obstructing Yemen's political process. In more detail:
11. Decides that all Member States shall, for an initial period of one year from the date of the adoption of this resolution, freeze without delay all funds, other financial assets and economic resources which are on their territories, which are owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the individuals or entities designated by the Committee established pursuant to paragraph 19 below, or by individuals or entities acting on their behalf or at their direction, or by entities owned or controlled by them, and decides further that all Member States shall ensure that any funds, financial assets or economic resources are prevented from being made available by their nationals or by any individuals or entities within their territories, to or for the benefit of the individuals or entities designated by the Committee;
15. Decides that, for an initial period of one year from the date of the adoption of this resolution, all Member States shall take the necessary measures to prevent the entry into or transit through their territories of individuals designated by the Committee established pursuant to paragraph 19 below, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall oblige a State to refuse its own nationals entry into its territory;
17. Decides that the provisions of paragraphs 11 and 15 shall apply to individuals or entities designated by the Committee as engaging in or providing support for acts that threaten the peace, security or stability of Yemen;
"18. Underscores that such acts as described in paragraph 17 above may include, but are not limited to:
(a) Obstructing or undermining the successful completion of the political transition, as outlined in the GCC Initiative and Implementation Mechanism Agreement;
(b) Impeding the implementation of the outcomes of the final report of the comprehensive National Dialogue Conference through violence, or attacks on essential infrastructure; or
(c) Planning, directing, or committing acts that violate applicable international human rights law or international humanitarian law, or acts that constitute human rights abuses, in Yemen;
Sanctions Committee
"19. Decides to establish, in accordance with rule 28 of its provisional rules of procedure, a Committee of the Security Council consisting of all the members of the Council (herein "the Committee"), to undertake to following tasks:
(a) To monitor implementation of the measures imposed in paragraph 11 and 15 above with a view to strengthening, facilitating and improving implementation of these measures by Member States;
(b) To seek and review information regarding those individuals and entities who may be engaging in the acts described in paragraph 17 and 18 above;
(c) To designate individuals and entities to be subject to the measures imposed in paragraphs 11 and 15 above;
(d) To establish such guidelines as may be necessary to facilitate the implementation of the measures imposed above;
(e) To report within 60 days to the Security Council on its work and thereafter to report as deemed necessary by the Committee;
So basically, 2140 sets up a committee to designate the individual trouble-makers ("spoilers," in political-speak). That committee will also decide the specifics of sanctions to be applied to each spoiler, but in general we're talking about a freeze on all assets belonging to spoilers held in UNSC-member states and a ban on travel to or through UNSC-member states. As for who is going to be targeted by these sanctions, former President Saleh is probably at the top of the list. Foreign diplomats have also in the past suggested that Hirak leader 'Ali Salim al-Beidh be sanctioned. We'll have to wait and see who else makes the cut, but you can find a wide variety of conjectures and conspiracy theories on the subject on social media and in the Yemeni press.
Sanctions are tricky, and they don't usually achieve the desired effect right away. Naturally, Yemeni politicians (including the spoilers) are trying to spin the resolution to their own benefit. They're also probably squirreling away as much cash as they can, and coming up with new ways to make trouble.
You can watch the full UNSC discussion and vote on 2140 here, and watch UN Special Envoy Jamal Benomar's statements to the press here.
What do you think about the proposed sanctions regime? Is is a good idea? Will it backfire? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Findings of this project
Chapter 1
North Columbia's crime problem is clustered in and around five large apartment complexes, all of which accept federal housing vouchers. Residents have little or no security, and inadequate police patrols foster an atmosphere of distrust.
Chapter 2
North Columbia has more abandoned houses and building code violations than the rest of the city's areas combined. And its schools are some of the state's worst;- five are under threat to be taken over.
Chapter 3
North Columbia is always on the verge of success. Its Arts and Crafts style houses and tree-lined streets drip with potential, if the area can get past its obstacles.
Chapter 4
North Columbia's residents refuse to give up on their neighborhoods. Now they're partnering with the city on a major effort to clean up problems.

Yesterday evening, RTL Executive Officer Peter D. Williams made an oral submission by international telephone to the Health Select Committee of the New Zealand House of Representatives, as part of their official investigation into euthanasia and suicide.
This comes due to a petition of almost 9,000 people led by former pro-euthanasia Member of the New Zealand Parliament and campaigner Maryan Street, and in the light of separate proposals made by Louisa Wall MP (Lab; Manurewa) and David Seymour MP (ACT; Epsom) to introduce euthanasia into NZ law and medicine, removing right-to-life protections for the most vulnerable of New Zealanders.
Preceding his oral submission, Peter wrote an official 43-page RTL White Paper to Committee Members, detailing:
- The purpose and value of right-to-life protections
- The meaning of euthanasia
- The 'logical cliff' of the false 'autonomy' argument in extending euthanasia beyond the terminally ill
- The failure of limited eligibility criteria and proposed safeguards
- The experience of euthanasia in Belgium and Holland
- Lessons from the State of Oregon
- The importance of hospice care and reforms to improve palliative services

The next chance for a cold front to drop into the area won't come until next weekend.
Keep in mind the average afternoon highs in mid-December in South Florida are normally in the upper 70s, not 80s.

Student satisfaction remains high
The tenth National Student Survey (NSS) asks students all over the country what they think of their University and the services it provides.
This year's survey revealed that 80% of students at the University responded they were satisfied.
Learning resources were rated highly, with 86% of students reporting they were satisfied with the resources, which include IT and library facilities, compared to a national average of 85%.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Geoff Layer, said: "We're pleased that a high number of our students are satisfied, but we're disappointed that the level has declined from last year's all-time high rating.
"We work closely with our Students' Union to ensure the facilities we provide meet the needs of today's students and we continue to listen to the ways we can further improve the learning and social experience.
"Our £21 million Science Centre is nearing completion, with the first phase opening in October, and we are also creating a new £18 million Business School which will open in September 2015. These exciting new developments will further enhance the learning and teaching environment.
"We're also proud that 94% of our 2013 graduates were in employment or further study six months after completing their studies with us, boosting the regional economy and highlighting the significant benefits of higher education and the high esteem University of Wolverhampton qualifications are held in by employers."
University of Wolverhampton Students' Union President, Zoe Harrison, said: "We will continue to work with the University as a critical friend to ensure that satisfaction rates improve over the coming years."
The survey highlights a number of high scoring subject areas, including event and venue management; childhood, family and education studies; computer science (software engineering); applied biological sciences; history and war studies; midwifery; drama and mathematics.
The NSS is an annual census of students in the final year of a course leading to undergraduate credits or qualifications across the UK.

There goes the hair: Team Adem rocks the Greatest Shave
UP UNTIL the big shave, mother-daughter duo Pam and Jodie Miles had enough hair between them to almost match Rapunzel.
The pair shaved their long locks off as part of the Team Adem World's Greatest Shave event in Buderim yesterday.
"I haven't had short hair since I was a baby," Pam laughed.
"I cherished my long locks. I'm definitely known for my hair."
Background: Brave Adem Crosby loses his fight with leukaemia
The Miles family has been involved with the Team Adem shave since it started in 2011, in support of Jodie's good friend Adem Crosby who had been diagnosed with leukemia.
Mr Crosby died in May 2013, but his legacy lived on in the organisation.
This year Jodie and Pam braved the shave for the first time, with their family of five raising more than $12,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation.
"Knowing it's all in good memory of Adem and knowing he's looking down on us, I'm very proud," Jodie, 20, said.
The Buderim women were two of the hundreds who shaved their heads in Team Adem events.
Thousands took part colouring and cutting their hair - and even their eyebrows - at Chancellor State College, Matthew Flinders, Sunshine Coast Grammar and the big shave in the Buderim Woolworths carpark.
With locks almost to her backside, the Buderim youngster donated more than 25cm of her hair to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program, which provides women going through cancer with real-hair wigs.
"My friends are so excited to see my new haircut," said Bella, who raised more than $2000.
"I'm really excited because my hair is going towards a person who has no hair and it's going to be a beautiful wig for someone."
Team Adem founder Brent Crosby said the combined efforts of residents, volunteers and students contributed to a combined $60,000 raised for the Leukaemia Foundation - making it the biggest fundraising group in Queensland.

Milford Public Schools
Welcome to the Milford Public Schools Preschool Program! Your child is about to begin a preschool experience that will help shape his/her educational future.
Our program promotes the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children. Preschool learning is viewed as an interactive process between the child's thoughts and experiences with materials, adults, and other children. Active thinking and experimenting are important activities during the school day session.
All children are welcome at the Milford Public Schools Preschool Program -- both typically developing youngsters as well as children with special needs. Exposure to a preschool experience is extremely beneficial for all in attendance.
Students who are 3- and 4-years of age may attend Milford Public Schools Preschool. For students with special needs, entry may begin as soon as the child is 3 years of age. For typically-developing students who have turned 3 already, the school term generally will begin in the fall of that year (ex: student turns 3 in February; student may begin preschool later that fall). At a minimum, typically-developing children must be 3 years + 1 month of age.
Days, Hours, Fees
The Milford Public Schools Preschool schedule is uniquely flexible. Students may attend as few as 2 sessions a week or as many as 5.
The program operates a morning session and an afternoon session.

4-year old students are generally enrolled in the afternoon session for 3 hours per session.
Students who have been identified as having special needs attend at no charge.
Typically-developing peers pay the tuition rate of $18 per day. This is the maximum rate.
If your family qualifies for a reduced tuition scale, your fees will be lower.
Our Preschool Program curriculum follows the State of Connecticut Early Learning and Development Standards.
Developmentally-appropriate activities are planned by each preschool teacher based on the age span of the children within each class. Our preschool classrooms have various centers specifically set up for play and learning. Centers include Reading, Math, Building/Blocks, Dress-Up/Pretend Play, Art, Music and Fine Motor Skills. Throughout the day, your child will have an opportunity to think, reason, experiment and participate in each center.
Skills that will be developed through play are:
|Social Development

|Thought Development
|Motor Development
|Daily Living Skills
|Creative Expression
For students who have been identified as having special needs, transportation is provided.
Students who do not have special needs may receive transportation, depending on a set of very limited scenarios. Students without special needs can receive transportation only if they attend a registered/licensed day care center where a fellow Milford Preschool student with special needs also attends. Please contact Nettie Harding in our PPS office at (203) 783-3453 for additional information.

Celebrating Diversity: School Leadership E-Workbook
Celebrating Diversity: School Leadership E-Workbook
Diversity is what makes the world such an interesting place, and at Together We Rock! we believe in celebrating the things that make us different. This electronic workbook is designed for educators, elementary school students (grades 6–8) and for high school students (grades 7–12) in their journey to better understand diversity and disability. The e-workbook focuses on the following key questions:
- What do we need to know about diversity and people with disabilities?
- How are people with disabilities stereotyped?
- Why is using people-first language important?
- What are the best things to do when you meet a person with a disability?
This e-workbook includes a questionnaire for students to determine their school's level of understanding about diversity and disability and then decide whether it should be a priority to increase their understanding. The e-workbook also incorporates a planning tool to assist a school to make a difference through action.
Each of the School Leadership E-Workbooks are a component of the Together We Rock! School Leadership Program Tool Kit. If you have purchased the Electronic Tool Kit, then it is not necessary to purchase an individual School Leadership E-Workbook.

9 years ago if you had asked me "Hey Michael Hernandez, what is your purpose in life?" I would have probably looked up from the bar floor I was lying on in a drunken stupor and mumbled some kind of incoherent reply…before passing out for the night.
My life back then was booze and narcotics so my purpose was to get high. My idea of success was drinking a whole bottle of Scotland's finest and not blacking out. I believed that success was escaping the world and losing myself in drugs and alcohol to fill the void in my life.
But my alcoholism and drug abuse forced me to look at my life and really ask myself what WAS my purpose in life…and that became the most challenging mission I've ever had to face.
Without that terrible confrontation, I may never have understood my real goals and dreams in life. I wouldn't have discovered that I had a hidden talent inside of me for a business that has made me the successful entrepreneur I am today.
During my drug and alcohol detox it seemed impossible at times to see success through the darkness, but what kept me going was knowing it would only be a matter of time until I reached my real destination. Success was right in front of me I just had to reach out and grab it.
After fighting to stay clean and sober, I was able to see that being a successful entrepreneur is a whole lot more than just making money. Financial success may seem like the ultimate goal but I am here to tell you more about what being a successful entrepreneur really means.
Today, I will be sharing with you 5 vital things you must avoid if you want to become a successful entrepreneur.
1. Playing it Safe Every Time
My addictions were born out of one dominating emotion…fear. The uncertainty of making decisions, taking risks to further me professionally and spiritually all caused me absolute panic. I was terrified of facing difficult choices in case it all fell apart. Drugs and alcohol was my coping mechanism to escape from stress and fear.
All that fear did be lead me away from any chance of success. I didn't know it at the time but I was missing out on opportunities because I was too afraid to take a risk. Once I got out of my comfort zone when I was sober and able to focus and no longer hide behind my addiction, doors began to open.
Being a successful entrepreneur is about taking a risk when the moment is right. It's true that many risks carry consequences, but in my experience when I have gone with my gut and known which risks are worth taking, that is when my greatest successes have come to light.
2. Not Knowing the Difference Between a Good/Bad Decision
As a successful entrepreneur, my business depends on not only making decisions but knowing the good from the bad. I'm not going to lie and say I never make bad decisions anymore because let's be honest, nobody is perfect.
I do, however, try to be more mindful of the decisions I have to make by looking at my past experiences, logic, and goals. Analyzing your options before making a decision can help you identify a good or bad choice.
To be a successful entrepreneur you must remember that great success comes with hard work and dedication. If it's too easy then it's probably too good to be true.
3. Avoid Aimless Wandering and Set Your Goals
When I hit absolute rock bottom during my addiction I had absolutely no clue where I was, what I was doing or where I was headed in life. I had the typical "let's see what happens" mentality that a lot of addicts have because focusing and setting goals is simply not important.
9 years on and I realize that I was completely lost. Wandering aimlessly without a clue had only thrown me deeper into my alcoholism. I had nothing clear to focus on so I didn't see the point of setting objectives.
Goals don't have to be huge outrageous statements that are so unrealistic they never even see the light of day. Small achievable objectives give you purpose, daily milestones like creating a new and attractive idea or boosting your online presence in the market by a couple hundred more Facebook likes a day, can help you grow as a successful entrepreneur.
4. Isolating Yourself from Others
This one thing to avoid is absolutely essential. I'm going to tell it to you straight…you can't be successful alone. It might sound awesome to be the lone wolf who became the most successful entrepreneur single-handedly, but it is unrealistic and actually negative.
Even the world's greatest entrepreneurs had help.
I used to think that I was Superman and didn't need help from anyone and looking back I'd now say that arrogance was the catalyst for my addictions. I drank and used drugs to cope with stress…the stress I put on myself by trying to be a hero.
The real hero turned out to be my Mom who kept me from ending my life too soon. Without her and my family to support me through those dark times and now to this day in my success, I wouldn't be the strong entrepreneur I am now.
Build strong teams and business partnerships with like-minded people, attend conferences and meet new talented people you can forge strong ties with instead of isolating yourself.
5. Avoid Becoming Sedentary and Unhealthy
After I successfully beat my addictions my lifeline became sports particularly basketball. Staying active keeps me focus and sharp so I always feel like I am doing something worthwhile.
Eating well and taking care of myself after years of polluting my body with alcohol and drugs has been a total gamechanger that reflects my success as an entrepreneur. When you are in great shape you feel great and those around you notice that. Be dynamic and fit for the ultimate entrepreneurial success.
I hope that sharing my experiences with you today has helped you on your path to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Remember that focusing your mind and body on your goals and dreams can truly give you the success you deserve.
Being a successful entrepreneur means building strong teams and partnerships, never being afraid to take risks or ask for a helping hand, setting achievable goals and analyzing your decision making. Your success is right around the corner, so go get it!
Do you have something to share about the things to avoid to become a successful entrepreneur? I'd love to hear from your experiences on your own success so please leave a comment below.

GOP: Obama lied about health insurance law
President Obama acknowledges that he was wrong when he said Americans could keep their existing health plans under the Affordable Care Act. He's apologized, and he's told insurance companies they should let people keep those plans for a year.
But has that mollified Republicans eager to kill Obamacare, either outright or by draining it of all meaning? No way. If anything, this perceived weakness has them sharpening their political rhetoric.
On Saturday, their designated attacker as much as said Obama lied when he repeatedly assured the public, "If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health-care plan, you will be able to keep your health-care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what."
Among the phrases used by Sen. Ron Johnson (R) of Wisconsin in the weekly GOP radio and Internet address: "phony…fraudulent…grand deception…false promises."
RECOMMENDED: Four Americans and their brushes with Obamacare
"President Obama's so-called apology was as phony as his fraudulent marketing of Obamacare," Sen. Johnson said.
"Those assurances weren't slight exaggerations or innocent shadings of the truth. They were statements that were fully vetted, coldly calculated, and carefully crafted to deceptively sell your health care plan to a trusting public," Johnson charged. "It was a political fraud echoed relentlessly by House and Senate Democrats who should be held accountable for the disastrous consequences of their grand deception."
"Consumer fraud this massive in the private sector could – and should – bear serious legal ramifications," he said. "For President Obama, however, it helped secure enough votes to pass Obamacare, and win reelection."
Whether or not Obama knew early on that some people would be kicked off their health insurance policies may never be known. There's no smoking gun – no secret Oval Office tape – so far.
But large numbers of Americans – already fed up with the HealthCare.gov debacle – are not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Asked whether Obama "knowingly deceived the public when he said that if people liked their health insurance plans they would be able to keep them under the 2010 health care law," 46 percent of respondents in the latest Quinnipiac University National Poll say "yes," including 17 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of independents. (Forty-seven percent say "no.")
A new Fox News poll came up with similar results: half of those surveyed believe the president knowingly lied when he made the notorious "you can keep it" pledge, nearly 60 percent believe the administration knew ahead of time that people would have their health insurance policies canceled because of the law, and 55 percent think the White House has "tried to deceive" people about it.
With midterm elections around the corner, Republicans are stalking political prey – especially any Democratic incumbents who voted for Obamacare. And they're using Obama's "grand deception," as Sen. Johnson put it Saturday, in politically predatory fashion.
"There's nothing more damaging than when your word is devalued and people think they were misled," Rep. Greg Walden, (R) of Oregon, who heads the National Republican Congressional Committee, the House GOP's campaign arm, told the Associated Press. "And especially damaging is when it actually affects you and your family. So in terms of degree of impact, this is off the Richter scale."
For his part, Obama might have been expected to talk about the Affordable Care Act in his radio and Internet address Saturday.
But at this point, it's actions instead of words that will be judged. And to dwell on it in this venue – apologizing some more, promising that things will get better with HealthCare.gov – would look like he's trapped in one issue.
In his address, Obama talked about energy policy.
"Just this week, we learned that for the first time in nearly two decades, the United States of America now produces more of our own oil here at home than we buy from other countries," he said. "That's a big deal. That's a tremendous step towards American energy independence."

BREAKING NEWS – FBI Detaining People Connected To Obama Investigations
By AL HENDERSHOT – Editor of The Obama Hustle – 04/17/2013
On April 10, 2013 the FBI showed up at my front door. When I answered the door they told me who they were and that they wanted to speak to me about activities with / about the exposed website that was posting information about Muller, Holder, and Obama.
Well, obviously, I have nothing to hide so I gave them my computer. I was also handcuffed while they were talking to me.
Two days later I get a phone call from the FBI telling me that I am not in trouble and that I have nothing to worry about in connection to my activities with others and what I am writing about in my blog www.theobamahustle.wordpress.com On the 12th I go by the FBI office with a witness, just in case, to pick up my property and again they tell me, "that I am not in trouble and that I have nothing to worry about in connection to my activities with others and what I am writing about in my blog".
When they were at my house they, the FBI secured my personal information as well such as my SSN and other personal information. I have no doubt they investigated me out thoroughly and also investigated at what my activities have been in connection to the Obama fraud evidence and others as well.
Later on in the day I received some phone calls from people that I have been working with on the Obama issue. They, the people that I spoke with said that my activities with the "Cold Case Posse" and my postings on Obama in The Obama Hustle along with the evidence that I have collected on him and his family probably had something to do with my visit from the FBI.
I have not heard of any others being visited by the Feds as it pertains to the exposed website. In my discussions on Friday we came to the conclusion that this is very interesting in that there must be some people that are worried over what information might be available against the anointed and protected one from his lies being exposed.
I will not be deterred. I will not be harassed. I am not afraid. I will give my life for my country and for what I believe in. "FREEDOM".
We are in a fight for our nation from an individual and others who want to destroy the United States of America and transform this great nation into a melting pot and Socialistic paradise for radicals and illegal aliens so they can stay in power.
GOD Bless America and those patriots in this fight against the evil ones that want to enslave us, kill GOD, and kill our babies.
BREAKNG NEWS – Orly Taitz Discusses Obama Fraud To Members Of US Congress At CPAC
Press Release
BREAKING NEWS – Barack Soetoro aka Barack Obama Discovered At Columbia University As Of 2010
It is well known that Obama supposedly attended Columbia University for his supposed last year of undergraduate studies. However, the name used for the financial aid that he reportedly received has been an unanswered question until now. There can be no denying that Obama used a different name to obtain monies reserved for foreign students to pay for his tuition to Columbia University back in the 80's when was supposedly an undergraduate student.
In October of 2011 I was conducting one of my daily database searches for any information relating to Obama and his alter identities such as his other last name of Soetoro. I discovered an anomaly using the database information that was pulled when I used the last name of Soetoro in and for the state of New York. The following exhibits are the items that were pulled when the searches were completed.
Exhibit 1 shows the database pull that details two names, one for a Barack Soetoro and the other is for Barack's sister Maya K Soetoro.
Please note the name of the first person in this particular search. The first name is Barack and the last name is Soetoro. This is the name that "Obama" was using when he was a child living in Indonesia. Now, when he returned to the United States and began living in HI he started using the name of Obama, but secretly he was using his legal last name of Soetoro as of his tenure as a student at Columbia University.
Exhibit 2 details the search that I completed using Barack Obama's name in and for the state of NY.
The significance of these two searches is that the result shown in (exhibit 1) was the first search completed which lead me to complete the second search detailed in (exhibit 2) which I completed using Obama individually as the search for the state of NY. The information that pulled was Barack Obama linked to the same address as Barack Soetoro. This address is 2960 Broadway, New York, NY 10027. Now, why is this significant? Here is why this information is so significant.
I completed a search on the Columbia University website using the address 2960 Broadway and what pulled up in the search was this information in the search results on page 2:
Exhibit 3 below is in the from of a PDF file that I downloaded from Columbia University and it details the process for permanent residents wishing to obtain a social security number through Columbia University.
In order to obtain funding, permanent residents must obtain a number to apply for financial aid and or seek employment. Now it is not known whether or not Obama had a job or not while attending Columbia University, but documentation was required for financial aide. So did he Soetoro / Obama obtain a SSN using the alias of Barack Soetoro through the International Scholars and Students Office?
International Scholars and Students Office:
Office & Courier Address: 524 Riverside Drive New York, NY 10027
Mailing Address: Mail Code 5724 2960 Broadway New York, NY 10027 212-854-3587 Fax 212-851-12350
The following excerpt is from a PDF that dictates how registered foreign student status is handled at Columbia University:
J-1 Exchange Visitor Status
– There are many categories of
J-1, including a student category. To be eligible for the J-1
student category, over half of your funding must come from a
source other than your personal or family funds. Common
sources of funding for EVs include funding from a government,
international organization or university. Students fully funded by
Columbia would be eligible for J-1 status.
Certificate of Eligibility
– This document certifies eligibility for
F-1 or J-1 status. It is presented to the U.S. consulate to apply
for a visa and to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
official when you enter the U.S. The Certificate of Eligibility is
also referred to as the Visa Certificate, I-20 (for F-1 status), or
DS-2019 (for J-1 status). Students are eligible for the Visa
Certificate if they have been admitted to Columbia University,
will study in F-1 or J-1 status, and have documented their ability
to finance their education.
– The I-20 is a form issued by Columbia University for use
in applying for the F-1 visa and entering the United States. The
I-20 is issued to admitted students who have shown proof of
their ability to finance their academic program. It includes your
biographical details and information on your source of funding
and academic program. You must keep all I-20s that are issued
to you. It is recommended that you also keep a copy of all I-20s
for your records.
– The I-94 is a small white card that records your legal
entry in to the U.S., your immigration status, and how long you
can stay in the U.S. You complete it before seeing the
immigration officer who processes it and gives you a portion of
the form that s/he usually staples in your passport. The I-94
also records your arrivals and departures. Each time you leave
the U.S., the I-94 is removed (unless you are traveling to
Canada, Mexico, or the Caribbean). You receive a new one
each time you enter the U.S. For as long as you are studying,
you must have an I-94 that shows you are in either F-1 or J-1
status. Though the I-94 does not look important, it is one of the
most important documents you have. It is recommended that
you make a photocopy of both sides of the form each time you
get a new one in the event that your original form is lost or
What student status and what forms did Barack Soetoro use at Columbia University?
In February of 2010, someone had to have accessed the records of Barack Soretoro at Columbia University and altered them therefore creating the imputed data creating the file for Barack Obama on the same day of February 2010 so as to produce the results obtained by me as of October of 2011.
I challenge anyone to disprove my findings. We will have to open the records and examine them completely so as to disprove my findings and get to the truth once and for all.

BREAKING NEWS – IRS: Cheapest Obamacare Plan Will Be $20,000 Per Family
By Matt Cover
(CNSNews.com) – In a final regulation issued Wednesday, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) assumed that under Obamacare the cheapest health insurance plan available in 2016 for a family will cost $20,000 for the year.
Under Obamacare, Americans will be required to buy health insurance or pay a penalty to the IRS.
The IRS's assumption that the cheapest plan for a family will cost $20,000 per year is found in examples the IRS gives to help people understand how to calculate the penalty they will need to pay the government if they do not buy a mandated health plan.
The examples point to families of four and families of five, both of which the IRS expects in its assumptions to pay a minimum of $20,000 per year for a bronze plan.
"The annual national average bronze plan premium for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) is $20,000," the regulation says.
Bronze will be the lowest tier health-insurance plan available under Obamacare–after Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Under the law, the penalty for not buying health insurance is supposed to be capped at either the annual average Bronze premium, 2.5 percent of taxable income, or $2,085.00 per family in 2016.
In the new final rules published Wednesday, IRS set in law the rules for implementing the penalty Americans must pay if they fail to obey Obamacare's mandate to buy insurance.
To help illustrate these rules, the IRS presented examples of different situations families might find themselves in.
In the examples, the IRS assumes that families of five who are uninsured would need to pay an average of $20,000 per year to purchase a Bronze plan in 2016.
Using the conditions laid out in the regulations, the IRS calculates that a family earning $120,000 per year that did not buy insurance would need to pay a "penalty" (a word the IRS still uses despite the Supreme Court ruling that it is in fact a "tax") of $2,400 in 2016.
For those wondering how clear the IRS's clarifications of this new "penalty" rule are, here is one of the actual examples the IRS gives:
"Example 3. Family without minimum essential coverage.
"(i) In 2016, Taxpayers H and J are married and file a joint return. H and J have three children: K, age 21, L, age 15, and M, age 10. No member of the family has minimum essential coverage for any month in 2016. H and J's household income is $120,000. H and J's applicable filing threshold is $24,000. The annual national average bronze plan premium for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) is $20,000.
"(ii) For each month in 2016, under paragraphs (b)(2)(ii) and (b)(2)(iii) of this section, the applicable dollar amount is $2,780 (($695 x 3 adults) + (($695/2) x 2 children)). Under paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section, the flat dollar amount is $2,085 (the lesser of $2,780 and $2,085 ($695 x 3)). Under paragraph (b)(3) of this section, the excess income amount is $2,400 (($120,000 – $24,000) x 0.025). Therefore, under paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the monthly penalty amount is $200 (the greater of $173.75 ($2,085/12) or $200 ($2,400/12)).
"(iii) The sum of the monthly penalty amounts is $2,400 ($200 x 12). The sum of the monthly national average bronze plan premiums is $20,000 ($20,000/12 x 12). Therefore, under paragraph (a) of this section, the shared responsibility payment imposed on H and J for 2016 is $2,400 (the lesser of $2,400 or $20,000)."

Will Alabama Supreme Court Rule Obama Ineligible?
Will Alabama Supreme Court Rule Obama Ineligible?
Over the past year, both before and since the elections, there have been a number of court cases challenging Barack Hussein Obama's eligibility. Most of the cases have been dismissed by judges for reasons that are not truly legitimate, but many feel they were dismissed to avoid the political ramifications.
Just last week I wrote about a case that was filed in Florida, that not only challenged Obama's eligibility, but stated that he was a direct threat to the safety and security of the United States. That case has yet to be heard.
Yet another case filed in Alabama may present one of the best chances of producing a ruling against Obama. In this case, Hugh McInnish and others have filed suit against Alabama Secretary of State Beth Chapman for failure to properly verify the eligibility of Barack Obama. The case points out that the state constitution requires the Secretary of State to verify a candidate's eligibility and that Chapman failed to accurately verify Obama's eligibility.
The attorney handling this case is the same attorney handling the case in Florida. Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and the Klayman Law Firm in Washington, will hopefully be arguing this case before the Alabama State Supreme Court. The reason the case is going to the state Supreme Court is that a previous judge dismissed the case. In that case the state argued:
"[An attorney general's opinion] is not case precedent binding on this court… Nevertheless, it constitutes an admission by Alabama's chief law enforcement officer on behalf of the state that if the Secretary of State has knowledge gained from an official source about a candidate's eligibility then she 'should not' certify the candidate."
Klayman argues that this admission of the state justifies the actions taken by his clients. They believe that there is sufficient evidence presented by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department Cold Case Posse to indicate that the long form birth certificate presented by the White House on behalf of Obama is in fact a forgery and that its presentation to the people of the United States constitutes fraud. Klayman argues:
"Plaintiffs have shown, backed by sworn affidavits from an 'official source,' Sheriff Joseph M. Arpaio and his investigator, Mike Zullo, that Barack H. Obama is not a natural born citizen eligible to be president. … There is credible evidence that Mr. Obama was not born within the United States and that his birth certificate or other identifying documents are fraudulent."
"The secretary of state, having the power to certify candidates, can surely de-certify – in effect disqualify – them if they are found to be ineligible. Mr. Obama proceeded at his own risk. He defrauded the people of the state of Alabama as well as the other voters in this country, and incredibly has served an entire presidential term without once having to prove that he was indeed a natural born citizen, despite all the evidence to the contrary."
What raises hopes for the success of this case lies with the members of the Alabama state Supreme Court. In an earlier hearing on the same argument the high court denied the petition by McInnish to require that Obama produce an original copy of his birth certificate. When Alabama's High Court denied that earlier petition Justice Tom Parker filed an unpublished concurrence in the case stating that the charges of forgery were a legitimate concern.
In addition to Justice Parker, Klayman is counting on newly elected Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Roy Moore. Chief Justice Moore is a strong advocate of constitutional law rather than ruling on the prevailing politics of the time. When Moore won re-election to the state Supreme Court he vowed that he will do his utmost to uphold the Constitution of the United States as well as the Constitution of the state of Alabama.
In speaking on constitutional law, Moore said that humans will misbehave when they are not constrained by law and that the Constitution was set up with the goal to restraining human excesses. He went on to describe his view of constitutional law as:
"The whole basis of the Constitution is the restraint strength of human power. The only way you can do that is acknowledged that morality and law does come from God. No president has the power to violate constitutional restraints of power. The members of the legislature don't and neither does the Supreme Court. The Constitution is the rule of law and my job is to uphold the rule of law."
Klayman is hoping that the skepticism of Justice Parker and the staunch stand for constitutional law by Chief Justice Moore will be enough to prove their case that Barack Hussein Obama has not provided the proper legal documentation to prove that he meets the eligibility requirements for president of the United States as set by the Constitution. This case above all others that I have seen in the past year stands the best chance of winning.
