Former football star Alex Karras files lawsuit against NFL over permanent brain damage
Allegedly, the NFL hid data
from football players regarding the
seriousness of playing after a concussion.
Many organizations end up dealing with disgruntled employees or customers despite their best efforts to avoid such confrontations. In Illinois, labor lawsuits are prevalent, as a Chicago business lawyer can attest to.
CNN reports that an ex-football player Alex Karras filed a lawsuit in early April against the NFL for concussion-related injuries. Karras – who has also contracted dementia – filed this suit on behalf of himself as well as 69 other former NFL football players.
The allegations claim that the league did not provide enough information for players to make an informed decision on the risks of playing football despite a recent concussion. For example, football players risk permanent brain damage if they get back on the field soon after a concussion. Allegedly, the NFL hid such data from the players for the past several decades.
"[The NFL] had knowledge they didn't share with the players and didn't add the knowledge to the playing rules to protect players," Gene Locks, an attorney for the case, told the news source. "What we want is for the league to stand up and be counted, and examine everyone and provide medical benefits to everyone."
The lawsuit claims that former NFL football players suffer from permanent neurological damage after receiving severe blows to the head. Karras suffers from dementia, which prevents him from driving, cooking, reading or traveling, according to his wife Susan Clark. The multiple concussions have also caused Karras to experience an extensive amount of dizziness.
The plaintiffs in this case are seeking compensation for punitive damages and payment for medical diagnosis and treatment. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello states that there is no merit in the allegations against the league.
Businesses and other organizations in Illinois experiencing complaints from former employees should speak to a Chicago labor lawyer if they wish to protect their company's best interests.

1 Trouble at Recess THE STUTTERING FOUNDATION PUBLICATION NO. 0034
2 Did you know Over 3 million people in the U. S. stutter. There are 3 or 4 boys who stutter for every girl who does. People who stutter are just as smart as people who don t stutter Lots of scientists have tried to find out what causes stuttering. No one knows for sure what causes it. It runs in families. Also, it's just the way some people's bodies work. Scientists are still trying to find the answers and have made a lot of progress already. Some kids don t raise their hands in class because they re afraid they might stutter. But stuttering is nothing to be ashamed of! There is no cure for stuttering. Going to speech helps but it can take awhile to see changes. Going to speech can help just about everyone, no matter what age they are. There are lots of famous people who stutter: James Earl Jones, John Stossel, Kenyon Martin, John Melendez, Bill Walton, Mel Tillis, Nicholas Brendon, Robert Merrill, Carly Simon, KenVenturi, Bob Love, John Updike, Lewis Carroll, King George VI, Winston Churchill, and Marilyn Monroe.

4 Trouble at Recess Publication No Published by Stuttering Foundation of America 3100 Walnut Grove Road, Suite 603 P.O. Box Memphis, Tennessee ISBN Copyright 2008 by Stuttering Foundation of America The Stuttering Foundation of America is a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of stuttering. Contributions are tax deductible. Printed in the United States of America.
5 T he initial goal of writing a story was to help Jamie develop a positive awareness of differences in people, and a positive awareness of stuttering. She had a good friend at school who wore hearing aids and she started the story about two friends, one with hearing aids and one who stuttered. The book was written and illustrated over a period of months and Jamie was able to talk about some of her feelings about stuttering. We researched stuttering by reading books and watching the video Stuttering: For Kids, By Kids from the Stuttering Foundation of America. We learned about teasing, and the plot of Trouble at Recess was formed. Topics such as: what makes a good friend, what to do if you are teased, and what to tell people about stuttering were discussed. Jamie was very excited that her book might help other people who stutter and teach kids about stuttering. Julie Gasway, M.A., CCC-SLP January 2008
6 Dedicated to my family. Jamie, 8 years old
7 This is Molly. She is 5 years old. She likes to play inside with her dolly. 5
8 Molly has many friends. She likes to play with them at their houses or at her house. 6
9 Molly is good at school work, taking care of her things, sharing, being a good sport, following the rules, and volunteering. She is a wonderful daughter, sister, and an athlete. 7
10 Sometimes Molly stutters. When she does, it sounds like: Mom-mom-mom ; l ike ; p-p-p-party ; m outh. When Molly s friends ask her why she stutters, Molly says, I don t know. Maybe it s just the way I was born. Sometimes my stuttering isn t as noticeable. We don t know why it comes and goes. 8
11 Molly has a friend named Kate. Kate wears hearing aids to help her hear. That is the way she was born. Kate is 6 years old. 9
12 Kate and Molly are the best jump ropers in class. They can jump longer and higher than anyone else. Kate and Molly can even double dutch. 10
13 Molly and Kate are in kindergarten with Mrs. Conrad. Mrs. Conrad has blond hair and a nice smile. She has daily jobs for all the children. 11
14 One of the daily jobs in kindergarten is calendar. It was Molly s turn to tell the class the daily events. She opened her mouth and started to say: this one goes there but she got bumpy on the word there and it sounded like this: this one goes th ere. 12
15 Molly felt horrible because she thought that she would get teased because she has never had bumpy speech at school before. She finished her job and ran to her desk. None of the children said anything yet 13
16 At recess that day Molly and Kate were practicing jump rope. A boy named Jim stopped the rope when Molly was jumping. He said, Ha! Ha! You have bumps in your speech. Kate got mad and said, Don t you mess with my friend, because I ll tell the teacher. 14
17 Molly was so sad she walked away from the playground with Kate. They stood behind the tree until recess was over. After recess Molly and Kate told Mrs. Conrad about Jim and what he said to Molly. Mrs. Conrad told Jim never to make fun of anyone again. Jim apologized to Molly. Kate shouted to Mrs. Conrad, No! You should send him to the Principal s office or suspend him. Mrs. Conrad told Kate she needed to settle down and then she said, Kate, it s not that big of a deal. 15
18 Inside, Molly thought it was kind of a big deal. She asked Mrs. Conrad if she could go to see the school guidance counselor, Mrs. Acrobat. Mrs. Conrad gave Molly and Kate a pass to go to Mrs. Acrobat s office. 16
19 Molly and Kate told Mrs. Acrobat about the teasing. Together they made a plan. Molly, Kate, and Mrs. Acrobat will learn about stuttering, and they will make a presentation to Molly s class. 17
20 Molly found out that: 1) All people are different, they do some things well and other things not so well. 2) We don t know exactly what causes some children to stutter. 3) Things that can help kids who stutter are: a) Listen to what we say. b) Don t tease, keep your own feelings in mind, we all have feelings. c) It is okay to ask questions about stuttering, but do it politely. d) Treat us like everyone else. e) No one should interrupt or finish words for anyone else. Molly and Kate wanted to do a presentation to the class about stuttering. 18
21 They talked to Mrs. Conrad and set a date. All the children sat in a circle and Molly and Kate gave the presentation. Jim sat in the front, and he listened carefully. Molly had a little bumpy speech during her talk about stuttering. The school speech pathologist showed a movie about stuttering to the class. Molly felt okay about stuttering in front of the class. She was happy she could do the presentation. Molly answered a few questions, and some of them were from Jim. 19
22 One of the questions was When did you start stuttering? Molly said, I started at the age of 3. Another question was What did your mom and dad do to help you? Molly said, They tried to help me by saying things slowly themselves. They also listened to what I said, not how I said it. That was the most important thing. 20
23 Things to do to help: 1. Listen. 2. Be kind. 3. Treat us like everyone. Things NOT to do: 1. Don t look away. 2. Don t tell me to slow down. 3. Don t fill in words. 4. Don t make fun of me. 21
24 Jim asked, How do you stutter? Molly demonstrated how she stutters by asking Mrs. Conrad a question. She demonstrated how she stretches her words: M Mrs. Conrad, can I go to the bathroom? Molly explained that a little stretch in a word is when she holds onto a sound a little longer than the other sounds. She also showed Jim how people can say the same word two or three times. 22
25 I I I think I need glasses. I can t see that well. The whole class understood. After the presentation, the kids went out for recess except for Molly. Mrs. Conrad wanted to thank Molly for doing the presentation. Molly and Kate talked to Mrs. Conrad and then they went outside too. 23
26 Some of Molly s friends ran up to her and told her what a good job she did explaining about stuttering. Molly felt happy and good inside. All of the girls went to the fort house to play. After school Molly ran home to tell her mom about the presentation. Her mom gave her a big hug and said, I m really proud of you. Should we go out for a treat? Molly and her mom celebrated at the mall! 24
27 That night Molly told her dad about how brave she was. Molly s dad said, I m proud of you, too! When I was little I stuttered too. Then Molly and her dad talked about stuttering. But then Mom said it was time for bed. 25
28 Molly brushed her teeth, washed her face, went to the bathroom, put on her pajamas and Daddy tucked her in. Molly knew that she could always talk to Daddy about anything even stuttering. Her daddy told her stories as she fell asleep. Molly was really excited for tomorrow. She was sure that she could make mistakes or bumps, and it would be okay. 26

Runaway children in Valais: widening the courses of action. Editorial, by Clara Balestra of the Sarah Oberson Foundation.
On the 25th of May, many countries are taking a moment to remember missing children. The following is an editorial from Clara Balestra of the Sarah Oberson Foundation.
Intervention by Philip D. Jaffé, during the Soirée Sarah Oberson 2013: "From Lucy to Mary: from zero risk to the obligation of rehabilitation."
By Clara Balestra
There is a small number of people who have committed serious offenses, such as rape or murder, who cannot be released as they represent a permanent threat to society. For the last 30 years the question has remained the same: how to identify them ? Scientific knowledge in this field is moving on, as much as in practice, however, the latter much slower.
The current scientific consensus favors a clinical evaluation complemented by an actuarial valuation (statistics) of the dangerousness of an inmate. The clinical evaluation must be performed by a qualified expert, that is to say trained during several years in the practice of the penitentiary system and under constant supervision.
The actuarial dimension of the evaluation is based on significant scientific research, which has highlighted certain criteria, which appear to influence the dangerousness of an inmate. Pre-established questionnaires (e.g. DRAG, HCR-20, PCL-R) take up to 150 criteria into account and determine a final score, which indicates the probability of dangerousness of the inmate.
In French-speaking Switzerland, the combination of clinical and statistical evaluations is increasingly being used. On the other hand, the clinical evaluation stays predominant in the rest of Switzerland and the lack of qualified experts is being felt.
However, the decision granting release is not just a clinical or statistical matter. It is also based on a social consensus. Psychiatrists can significantly contribute to determine people whose dangerousness remains high, but they are not alone. There are numerous people and trades involved in the decision making process. According to Mr. Jaffé, in Switzerland, the decision-making chain as well as its organization and its governing legal provisions are sometimes dysfunctional and should be upgraded.
Recent developments in the U.S. and in Canada do not only focus on the person's dangerousness. Work is also focused on risk management, meaning the evaluation of the structure that will surround the prisoner outside the prison institution. An interdisciplinary team is currently working on this matter under the guidance of an experienced project manager.
To conclude, it is important to note that the suppression of parole or any other form of early release is not a violation of the inmate's individual rights, but only the end of a privilege for a person sentenced to a penalty of deprivation of liberty by a legitimate court. The burden of proof of good behavior is also the inmate's responsibility.
Disclaimer: The editorial does not necessarily reflect the opinion of IDE Board and Team.

Panic not my friends, I am not turning into a dreaded 'business blogger' with a 'buy it now' button at the end of the post. Far from it, I just want to show you what I have been up to this weekend and to shout from the rooftops 'I've done it!', I've filled all the trade orders I got at the Stirling fair two weeks ago.
I must admit to be a tad stressed (who, moi?) on this one. I was determined to get all the trade stuff out of the way by the this week. In fact i had set myself a goal. I had to have it all finished and boxed up by 'close of play' on Friday. Now whether this 'closure' would be in the middle of the night didn't really matter, it just had to be done. Anyway I did it by 1pm on Friday and then celebrated by sweeping up HQ and finding the floor again. Half the orders hit the post office, and now just waiting for payment for the rest. Phew, relief!
Keeping up the working momentum I even managed to hit the web site and finally updated it by putting Leviche de Landes on line at last. Did pix of my Christmas stuff, so that will be going up next week.
Yesterday I took Idgy and Mr X to the station. They are off to London for a few days to see the dinosaurs (yet again) at the Natural history Museum. They had decided to travel by train rather than flying as Idgy has never been on a long train journey before. The fact that the train cost way more than flying is ridiculous really. Anyway our Idgy was most impressed that there were no luggage restrictions and you could take your own juice with you. They went rather over the top on this score, it looked like the teddy bears picnic with the amount of food they had in their extra bag.
I came home and headed out to HQ. It does look strange when you can see the floor and don't have to climb over piles of stuff just to get in there. Armed with a mug of coffee, a bar of chocolate and Michel Thomas teaching me French, I settled down to a day of painting Christmas gift bags. Four hours later, all food and drink devoured, M.Thomas played out twice (and no words remembered) and hundreds of gift bags painted and hung up to dry.
Into the house for a quiet evening in front of the fire sewing Christmas robins with a glass of wine and my furry friends for company.Quite a nice weekend really. How about you?

Virtualization management tools: Navigating the muddy waters
As virtualization management becomes more complicated, choosing management tools gets tougher. Hypervisor vendors and third-party ISVs all offer their own management solutions.
The phrases "one throat to choke" and "one hand to shake" are common in IT today, particularly in the debate about converged infrastructure products. But they're also popping up more in discussions about virtualization management tools.
Most organizations today have some combination of best-of-breed virtualization management tools, good-enough-for-the-price tools and I-have-to-use-it-because-it's-free tools. All of these categories have their place in IT organization, but they can lead to complexity and real support nightmares. That leads some to call for a single, simple virtualization management solution, but this approach also has its downsides.
Platform vendors' virtualization management tools
Virtualization platform vendors and third parties are all trying to address this issue. On the platform side, Microsoft has System Center Virtual Machine Manager, which can manage Hyper-V as well as some basic VMware tasks. And VMware recently released an experimental plug-in to manage Hyper-V virtual machines through vCenter.
But where is the incentive for VMware and Microsoft to provide virtualization management solutions that leverage their competitor's advanced features? In supporting these features, you run the risk of highlighting your competitor's advantages.
At the same time, collaboration in this scenario is tenuous at best. Without one vendor giving the other full access to future development efforts, they will always be struggling to keep up with new releases. Users will constantly have to decide between using multiple virtualization management tools or foregoing new features because of their centralized tool's limitations.
Third-party virtualization management solutions
Meanwhile, third-party vendors such as Quest Software and VKernel are creating robust virtualization management tools that work with multiple hypervisors.
Because they don't directly compete with the platform vendors, these companies often have more access to their development roadmaps. That helps third-party vendors stay up to date on new features, but it does not remove that hurdle altogether. Advancements in virtualization are moving at a blinding pace, and feature releases are so competitive, that release schedules and product roadmaps are ever-changing targets.
Choosing virtualization management tools
Unfortunately, there is no simple way to narrow down the options and select the right virtualization management solutions.
You can take a top-down approach: Select a virtualization management tool, then limit yourself to hypervisors and feature sets supported by that tool. This strategy can be messy, because you may end up managing to the lowest common denominator. But it may be necessary if your organization has a mix of hypervisors and other cross-platform tools, because this approach can support a more disparate infrastructure.
Virtualization management solutions created by the major hypervisor vendors probably aren't a good fit for this approach. If you want to take full advantage of your existing virtualization investments, it may be better to choose a tool designed specifically for your platform. The hypervisor vendor's tools will likely be the better choice here.
When it comes to virtualization management tools, there is no holy grail. If you can find a single tool that can perform 80% of your daily tasks, you have a winner in OpEx terms. You will almost certainly need to fall back on other tools for advanced configuration tasks, but the goal is to make that a rare exception -- not the rule.

Ontarians Share Their Ideas to Help Build Ontario Up
Ontario Government Seeks Public Input on Developing the Province's 2015 Budget
The Ontario government is inviting individuals and organizations from every corner of the province to provide their input and ideas for the 2015 Ontario Budget.
Today, Charles Sousa, Minister of Finance, was in Toronto as part of a provincewide tour of pre-budget consultations, which will include in-person sessions and telephone town halls, reaching out to as many communities and organizations as possible.
The consultations provide Ontarians with an opportunity to discuss what's important to them and what more they think the government can do to grow the economy and create jobs while eliminating the deficit. The government will review the feedback gathered as part of the development of the 2015 Budget.
Engaging Ontarians to have their say in the budget process is part of the government's economic plan for Ontario. The four-part plan is building Ontario up by investing in people's talents and skills, building new public infrastructure like roads and transit, creating a dynamic, supportive environment where business thrives, and building a secure retirement savings plan.
Quick Facts
- Pre-budget consultations began on January 19, 2015 and will run until mid-February 2015.
- More than 300,000 Ontarians participated in pre-budget consultations in 2014, including in-person sessions in 13 regions, telephone town halls, online and through social media.
Additional Resources
"The Budget affects every Ontarian, and that's why we're gathering opinions and ideas from every corner of the province in as many ways as possible. Every person and every region has a stake in building Ontario up. I look forward to engaging with Ontarians and working together to build on our plan to grow the economy and create jobs while providing the programs and services that they expect and rely on."
Charles Sousa
"The best way to understand the Province's priorities and needs is to go out and actually ask Ontarians what matters to them, and that's what our government was doing today in Toronto. It was a wonderful opportunity for Toronto residents to speak up and be heard directly by our government."
Soo Wong
"As the MPP for Toronto Centre, I'm pleased that Minister Sousa had the chance to hear from Torontonians today about what matters most to them. Engaging with Ontarians directly is an important part of the budget preparation process. Torontonians – like all Ontarians – have a personal stake in the province's economy, and that means they have a stake in the budget as well."

A Message from Pastor David
I am delighted to be here at Forest Grove UCC as interim minister. This is a welcoming and active congregation in a lovely and active town.
As an intentional interim, I have the privilege of working with churches in transition. Rev. Jennifer Yocum, after ten years as pastor here at FGUCC, accepted a new call in Montana and moved on. This church, too, is moving on, starting the process that will lead to calling a new settled pastor to serve here. We're together in a transition time, and it's a great time to be well engaged in the church.
In the interim we're finding the balance of all that's best in what has been and all the possibilities of what might be. Lot's of strong church traditions continue—the choirs sing, the homeless shelter will open for the winter, Stephen Ministers offer care to those in need… At the same time, we are also changing things up, experimenting, evaluating and affirming whatever best serves God through the life of this faith community in this time and place. It can be exciting. It can be unsettling. A whole lot of my work as interim is to offer assurance, hold individuals and the church in non-anxious presence, help us all to trust the process.
We can trust the process because at its heart it is all about opening to the Spirit. I'm confident the Spirit will bless us all, from the longest present member to the visitor who comes through the door tomorrow. I witness how the Spirit is blessing the larger community through the congregation and its members. I delight in all the ways the Spirit invites us all into the coming days and months together.
Blessings always,
Pastor David

The Resident
by Francis Cottam
Published by Arrow Books, 2011.
Published under the esteemed Hammer imprint The Resident is also a major motion picture but how does the print version shape up?
This is the story of Juliet Devereau who, after finding her husband in bed with another woman, seeks out a new apartment and a new life. She finds a, seemingly, perfect new home under the Brooklyn Bridge and is immediatley charmed by landlord Max and his elderly grandfather August. Ominous signs that there may be more to the apartment and her landlord begin to show themselves as Juliets paranoia mounts. The whole thing builds to an exciting and gripping climax worthy of Hollywood.
I enjoyed The Resident but it did seem to take a while to get going. Initially I felt the dialogue was stilted and the characters rather dull but familiarity, in this case, bred enjoyment and I soon found myself drawn into the book. It's a novel with a strange structure moving between character's point of view to retell the story from different standpoints. This repetition slows things down somewhat and it's not until the final sections that things really pick up pace.
Other than some interesting psychological horror themes this tale doesn't seem to have too much in common with the classic hammer imprint or it's more recent incarnation (Wakes Wood) but fans of Hollywood thrillers will enjoy this even if true horror fans could probably find more satisfying reads elsewhere on the horror shelves.

Here it is:
- Storm confirms: 9.9 does not bring the ghost shell fix
- Storm confirms: Mauschen will possibly not be replacing the VK4502B but for now there is no final decision on that yet
- Same goes for pen nerf (nothing planned for now)
- The decision whether to replace Mauschen or not will take place "in days", according to Storm it is a "political" decision
- Mammut will not be used as Mauschen replacement for the VK4502B in any case
- Removing further normalization would not help the armor situation at all, it is too small as it is
- Developers are working on new maps
- There will be more versions of "Domination" yet
- The Mauschen will be in second 9.9 test round after all
- The Mauschen removal post had a note that it was Anton "Evilly" Pankov's decision to remove it. Anton Pankov however states that it was certainly not only his.
And the daily, if the fake Krokodil ever comes to WoT this is how I will treat them when driving my A39 Tortoise:

About Pojken
Want To Try Pottery With My Students...
Pojken replied to Pojken's topic in Educational Approaches and ResourcesThank you for that, both of you. I am relatively new to teaching, but I have had this job for two years and am moving onto my third next year. The first year was a beautiful disaster, the second a more controlled disaster and the third... I'm expecting an organized disaster. I've learned quite a bit from the hands on experience and am constantly learning. I love that I can make mistakes and own up to them with my students. To answer them, "I don't know, but I will find out" or "I don't know what will happen. Let's try it and see." is very liberating. However, safety comes first, so I ask the following... I asked Sumi about her BBQ grill method in an email (her method), but will ask here in case she doesn't reply: Any help in answering my questions would be appreciated. I want to know these before I search for or create a proper lesson plan. Again, thank you for any help that is offered. Tien
Want To Try Pottery With My Students...
Pojken replied to Pojken's topic in Educational Approaches and ResourcesThanks, AmeriSwede. I'll do that as it seems I don't think I'll be getting much help from others on here. Tien
Want To Try Pottery With My Students...
Pojken replied to Pojken's topic in Educational Approaches and ResourcesWhile I understand your concern, I had hoped to avoid open critique of me and my job. That was why I tried to lay it all out. What I came here for is knowledge and it is unfortunate that some choose to withhold it for whatever reason. I am a middle school teacher - like it or not. Prior to that, I gained a degree in and was a commercial Interior Designer working in both international firms to small studios. I have freelance experience in graphic design and product design. I am creative and analytical - enough so that I kept the job I have. I have had parents come to me and tell me that their child wasn't as interested in Art before my class. I have students coming early to my class eager to help set up. I have students who stay late in order to get more one-on-one time with me. I go beyond my job description by taking the time to teach parents how to photoedit so that my students can have access to photoediting software at home. I teach a vast array of abilities from drawing to sculpting to computer illustrating. Forgive me if I haven't mastered all of them and clay as well. People come to teaching through various routes, I believe; especially with the Arts. I just read about Maria Martinez's fascinating black-on-black technique she learned through experimentation. In fact, her story isn't unique - others have fallen into making pottery and are now world renown - eagerly teaching their techniques to others. I was merely looking for a fun lesson to introduce my students to clay making. I wasn't looking to usurp the local potter who has 30 years experience. I simply felt bad that my students only had oily plasticine or brittle green clay to keep as tokens of their childhood learnings. I have a limited budget - read that as almost no budget - so I looked into finding ways to explore this medium safely without a kiln. (Thank goodness there are kind people like Sumi von Dassow, who wrote the article on BBQ kilns, who can actually answer my questions without passing judgment.) Yes, I would love to go back and learn these crafts in a university setting, but can't at this moment. I can, however, ask questions, experiment, learn from small courses, explore the Internet, and create my own projects. I am not trying to haughty - I know I have much to learn - but I was hoping to not be confronted with such a closed mentality as was present in other threads. What saddens me is that I was genuinely excited having found this forum. Instead of helping, I am told I stole a job from someone more qualified than me. Why is it that this forum is so narrow minded? Tien p.s. If it's of any concern, I am not in the US so I am not stealing an American job from "someone who is actually qualified for the position". There is a poor Swede out there ruing the day I was born, however... Me, who has a BS in Interior Design from the School of Architecture, NCIDQ qualifications, and 7 years job experience. p.p.s. By the way, you know what I gathered in piecemeal off the the Internet to teach my kids? Google pysanky, dorodango, toro nagashi... Tell me, did you know how to make any of those? Probably not. I learned these and taught these techniques to my students. p.p.p.s. Here is some of my student's work ages 12-14. I sat at the back of the class staring out the window the whole while. It's horrible that they learn nothing from me.
Hi, just saw you online and thought I'd say hi. I am seeking advice on basic pottery to teach my middle-schoolers. I want to teach them the absolute basic stuff and want to try experimenting with makeshift kilns (the most interesting thus far is a BBQ grill kiln).
If you have some time, I was hoping to get some advice. Any help would be appreciated. In fact, I'm willing...
Want To Try Pottery With My Students...
Pojken replied to Pojken's topic in Educational Approaches and ResourcesHaving read another thread dealing more with high school students, I guess I should add a bit more information. I want to teach them the most basic of techniques - how to use natural materials that are easily found to create their pieces. The more basic the better. I really want them to see that they can create nice, long lasting pieces without needing a kiln, a pottery wheel and a slew of glazes. I love the idea of limited resources in order to foster innovation. (One of my lessons, for instance, teaches the method of dorodango - Japanese mudballs. It's not assessed, but teaches them patience and pride in craft.) The pieces I want them to create wouldn't be very big - not much bigger than an ashtray or a sake bottle. It would be for around 30-40 students. I have them 1.3 hours a week and can extend this project to however long or short I want, though ideally it wouldn't go beyond four weeks. As to how I will link this academically, I am not yet sure. I will have the summer to try to think of some connection. Perhaps I could discuss a cross-curricular activity with the humanities teacher. Any high school teachers out there willing to share their lesson plans? Thanks again, Tien
Hello, I am a "new" middle school Art teacher coming from a design background. I was called in to substitute for an Art teacher who was sick and soon after passed away. The school liked me enough to keep me and I appreciate that, especially not having had much in the way of pedagogical training. I preface with that because I have limited experience with the Arts, actually, never having painted or sculpted - my background education is in Architecture/Interior Design. That said, I know nothing about pottery aside from the very topical research I've done. However, I want to try it with my older students - age 14 or so. However, we have no kiln and money is limited. I have read on here about BBQ grill kilns, pit kilns, brick kilns and such. If I may, here are some questions I have: 1) How dangerous is it to work with pottery? Aside from possible burns due to improper handling, are there any dangers one must consider? I am sure explosions is a major one. How can one prevent these dangers? 2) How can one make an affordable, easy kiln? What is the best recommendation for the typical "weekend hobbyist"? Is a decent option a BBQ kiln? Imagine only having money to purchase paper clay. 3) What techniques can I successfully introduce to them in a short period of time? I don't need them to know *everything* about pottery - an introduction to get them started is fine. Are there cheap, but beautiful techniques one can use to create nice pieces? I read in an article, just covering green clay in newspaper and aluminum foil or masking tape can produce a nice effect. 4) What is the minimum time that I can fire clay to make it durable enough to take home. It needn't be a work of perfection. It needn't even hold water (though that would be nice). It is highly unlikely that I can have things run over night - at most maybe 8-9 hours. 5) Any other bits of advice for a novice who is trying to teach novices? (In other words, the blind leading the deaf.) Before this thread degrades into a discussion about my education abilities, let me add that I am trying my best to give the students an introduction into the arts that I didn't have. I am learning and fully admit that I don't know everything that perhaps pedagogically trained Art teachers do. I believe the students enjoy my class because I take these kinds of risks - learning things that I don't know in order to teach them. I am hoping and trying to create varied, though economically limited lesson plans, one of which is pottery. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Tien

Mr. Diddley was known for his homemade square guitar, dark glasses and black hat, was an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and had a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. He received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Rhythm and Blues Foundation Pioneer Awards in Los Angeles in 1996, and received a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999 at the Grammy Awards.
The man who would become Bo Diddley was born Ellas Otha Bates on Dec. 30, 1928, in McComb, Mississippi. His mother, who was about 15, asked her first cousin, Gussie McDaniel, to raise the child. Diddley never knew his father.
After Gussie McDaniel moved her family to Chicago during the Great Depression in 1935, she changed the child's last name to Bates McDaniel. Ellas McDaniel attended public school, where he learned how to box. At one point, he dreamed of becoming a prizefighter.
"Diddley claimed that playing the violin influenced his muted-string, choke-neck style of rhythm -- an early forerunner of funk that can be heard on songs like 'Pretty Thing,'" the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame says in its official Bo Diddley biography.
Mr. Diddley's influence was felt on both sides of the Atlantic. Buddy Holly borrowed the bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp rhythm for his song "Not Fade Away."
The Rolling Stones' bluesy remake of that Holly song gave them their first chart single in the United States, in 1964.
Mr. Diddley was also one of the pioneers of the electric guitar, adding reverb and tremelo effects. He even rigged some of his guitars himself.
"He treats it like it was a drum, very rhythmic," E. Michael Harrington, professor of music theory and composition at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., said in 2006.
Growing up, Mr. Diddley said he had no musical idols, and he wasn't entirely pleased that others drew on his innovations.
"I don't like to copy anybody. Everybody tries to do what I do, update it," he said. "I don't have any idols I copied after."
"They copied everything I did, upgraded it, messed it up. It seems to me that nobody can come up with their own thing, they have to put a little bit of Bo Diddley there," he said.
Despite his success, Mr. Diddley claimed he only received a small portion of the money he made during his career. Partly as a result, he continued to tour and record music until his stroke. Between tours, he made his home near Gainesville in north Florida.
"Seventy ain't nothing but a damn number," he told The Associated Press in 1999. "I'm writing and creating new stuff and putting together new different things. Trying to stay out there and roll with the punches. I ain't quit yet."
Mr. Diddley, like other artists of his generations, was paid a flat fee for his recordings and said he received no royalty payments on record sales. He also said he was never paid for many of his performances.
"I am owed. I've never got paid," he said. "A dude with a pencil is worse than a cat with a machine gun."
One of the great sins perpetrated by the record labels was this type of injustice.
As our good friend Travis said in one of his emails "There are no replacements for legends like these. There are new blues musicians, but when the originals go they go forever." So very true.
I got to see Mr. Diddley back when I was in Rochester. It was the early 70's and Mr. Diddley could rock a joint like very few I have seen live.
Rest In Peace Mr. Diddley. You may have left us, but the brilliant music you created will live with us forever.
Enjoy Mr. Diddley along with some of the artists who adapted his signature rhythm: bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp, often summarized as "shave and a haircut, two bits."

Are cows injected with growth hormones (rBST)?
No, our cows do not receive rBST injections. We try to increase our milk production through better feed for our cows and by making them as comfortable as possible. This includes mattresses to lay on year round, sprinklers and fans for hot weather, and regular visits by the veterinarian.
How many flavors do you make?
We have over fifty flavors (including seasonal favorites), but not all are available at all times.
Why does your milk taste better?
Our milk is pasteurized the old-fashioned way. We use low temperature vat pasteurization for all of our milk and ice cream. It takes a lot longer to do it this way, but in the end, we have a better tasting milk.
Can I bring my class/group for a tour?
We do not offer tours, but you are welcome to bring your class/group to the farm to see the cows milked. We start milking every day around 3:30 and are available to answer any question you may have.
Is any ice cream sugar free?
No, we make all of our ice cream with pure cane sugar.
How many cows are at the farm?
We currently have 75 milking cows and 80 young animals.
What kind of cows are on the farm?
All of our cows are holsteins born on our farm.
Does Manning's Ice Cream contain gluten?
The only flavors that may have gluten are the flavors that contain cake or cookie pieces.
Can I have nutrition information on your milk, ice cream, or yogurt?
We don't have nutritional analysis of our products. The tests are expensive, and since our dairy is so small, we are not required to do the testing.

I'm a sex worker, can I still offer my services if I have a STI?
In the ACT Sex Workers, privately or at a brothel, are not permitted to provide services if they know that they have an STI.
It is not illegal to work with hepatitis C. If you work for a brothel, all reasonable steps need to be made by the owner to ensure that you do not work while infected with any STIs.
It is illegal to use the results of a medical test, or the fact of having had a medical test, or to show a client an attendance certificate, to imply that a worker is free of STIs. (s26.2)
If owners and workers don't take the precaution of STI tests, or lie about having a test, or lie about not-having an STI, they could face a fine. (S26)
To reduce the chances of viral hepatitis, HIV and STI transmission, condoms must be worn for all penetrative sex. It is illegal to perform penetrative sex without a condom, for both the worker and the client. If the client interferes with or tries to remove the prophylactic during sexual intercourse they may be charged.

Over 250 minds in Ontario's health care system came together at the 2017 Medical Psychiatry Alliance (MPA) annual conference, "A Matter of Life" in Toronto on October 6 to discuss new approaches to care for patients with severe mental illness.
"Creating health care system change is central to the work of the MPA. We need to use our voice to support advocacy for people living with mental illness," urged Dr. Catherine Zahn, President and CEO of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), in her opening remarks. CAMH hosted this year's MPA conference.
Dr. Zahn asked attendees to consider the impact of inadequate access to both mental health care and physical health care for people with severe mental illness such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and severe depression. "These patients are dying younger than the average Canadian due to prejudice and discrimination – with less access, and poorly coordinated health care services. I encourage you to champion this cause in your professional circles, advocate for better integration and become a catalyst for change," she said.
Zahn's remarks were followed by a video which told the tragic story of one of her former patients, Sarah Campbell. Sarah was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 20 and passed away prematurely at the age of 45 due to a missed diagnosis of cancer. Sarah's story is not unlike the 1.3 million Ontarians who are living with a physical and mental illness at the same time, struggling to access timely health care in a system that is traditionally not equipped to care for both, together.
The packed day, co-chaired by CAMH's Athina Perivolaris and Dr. Latika Nirula, saw key presentations from three international plenary speakers, interactive workshop sessions, and an insightful panel discussion. Panelists included Drs. Adrienne Tan, Belinda Lennox, Suzanne Vogel-Scibilia, Tania Tajirian and Ms. Camilla Dalglish, who shared thoughts from her own family's personal experience.
Dr. John Newcomer, Professor of Integrated Medical Science at Florida Atlantic University, highlighted the increased risk for cardiometabolic disease in patients with severe mental illness. His presentation pointed to high rates of preventable disease which are not being treated in major mental illness, and provided a road map to health care providers to begin regular monitoring of these conditions in their patients.
Dr. Suzanne Vogel-Scibilia, a psychiatrist and former President of the U.S. National Alliance on Mental Illness, shared her own personal journey as a patient living with bipolar disorder, as well as the stigmas and challenges that she faced within the health care system when she needed physical health care services. "It's the stigma that makes us sick," Dr. Vogel-Scibilia said. Her experiences highlighted gaps for patients navigating care.
Dr. Belinda Lennox, a consultant psychiatrist and professor at the University of Oxford, spoke about the importance of integrating physical and mental health care right at the start of a patient's mental illness diagnosis, to improve outcomes. "Patients with severe mental illness in the U.K. have the same life expectancy as the average North Korean," she pointed out. She described current projects that aim to improve these mortality rates in the U.K., which could be potentially adapted for the Ontario landscape.
The day wrapped up with closing remarks from Dr. Benoit Mulsant, MPA Executive Director and the Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto. Dr. Mulsant emphasized what he had asked health care providers and policy makers to consider at the start of the day: "Imagine that your son is suddenly diagnosed with a severe mental illness. After several months of psychiatric treatment, he is finally stable. However, you know your son is going to gain 25 pounds on his medication; you know that he may develop diabetes, heart disease, or kidney failure. Eventually, he is likely to die 10 or 15 years younger sooner than his brother who does not have a severe mental illness."
Dr. Mulsant concluded, "We have to change this. We have to work together to start designing a system so that we can prevent this from happening and ensure that he has a longer, healthier life."

If you're a leftist who happens to be a Sheriff in Arizona, you don't need any evidence to accuse your political opponents of inciting a crime.
Even the Liberal Geraldo Rivera has a problem with that Liberal Sheriff playing politics with this shooting.
Are their any Democrats out there that want to walk this thing back?
Especially since more and more evidence is pointing to the fact that he was one of your unhinged Leftists?
But...maybe that Liberal Sheriff is right about violent political rehtoric being the cause...
** Obama: "They Bring a Knife…We Bring a Gun"
** Obama to His Followers: "Get in Their Faces!"
** Obama on ACORN Mobs: "I don't want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I'm angry!"
** Obama to His Mercenary Army: "Hit Back Twice As Hard"
** Obama on the private sector: "We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick."
** Obama to voters: Republican victory would mean "hand to hand combat"
** Obama to lib supporters: "It's time to Fight for it."
** Obama to Latino supporters: "Punish your enemies."

Well, my response is — and by the way, I have trouble listening to what he says sometimes, because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he's talking. But, but my response is this: he's just angry because the president doesn't shoot old men in the face. B-by the way, when he was done speaking, did he just turn into a bat and fly away?
"We have to put end to the style of politics, and that means getting rid of Republicans entirely."
Alexi Baldwin (famous Lib)
"If we were living in another country, what we, all of us together, would go down to Washington and stone Henry Hyde to death, stone him to death, stone him to death!" said Baldwin. "Then we would go to their house and we'd kill the family, kill the children."

Still smokin'
With their new DVD "Hey Watch This," Cheech & Chong reclaim their thrones as comic royalty
By Carl Kozlowski
Anyone who smoked a joint in the '70s was also likely aware of Cheech and Chong. The countercultural comedy superstars smoked and toked their way through nine albums, four feature films and thousands of concerts worldwide – offering living proof that stoners could also be ambitious and hard workers if given the right incentives, i.e., money, women and weed.
But eventually the laughs started to fade, and with the Reagan White House constantly touting its War on Drugs and overtaking the nation's airwaves with incessant "Just Say No" sloganeering, even Robert "Cheech" Marin and Tommy Chong lost their buzz and decided to split up. In the past 25 years since that ignoble occurrence, which also signified the end of their friendship for nearly two decades, Cheech's career has taken him far into the mainstream with major roles on network TV hits like "Nash Bridges" and "Lost," while Chong wound up serving time in federal prison on highly questionable trafficking charges.
Now they're back, revived and ready to roll (no pun intended) with a new DVD called "Hey, Look at This!" and plans for not only a sequel to their most famous film "Up in Smoke" but a nearly-completed animated film as well. The DVD – which depicts on-stage and behind-the-scenes highlights of the duo's 2009-2010 worldwide concert tour - is a means of reclaiming their status as the greatest pot-related comedy act of all time, but also remind fans and newcomers alike that their comedy was also quite clever and covered tons of material unrelated to drugs as well. It's no coincidence that the tour was a smash hit, opening many doors for them to make a mark in the nation's current medical marijuana and pot-legalization debates.
Sitting down with PW for an exclusive interview (with the full audio of the chat also running on my Internet-radio show "Grand Theft Audio: The Jake, Brant & Carl Show" from 6 to 8 p.m. April 22 on www.latalkradio.com, Channel One and on ITunes podcast downloads April 23), the dynamic duo looked both far into the past to explain how they met and into their suddenly vibrant future.
"We actually met up in Canada, where Tommy's from (Chong is a naturalized U.S. citizen), and we were doing shows with a little comedy opening for a band," Marin recalls, squinting his already heavy-lidded eyes. "Then the band split up but we stayed together, playing music as The Royal Shakespearean Strippers. Well theoretically we played music, but really did so much comedy we never around to playing any music. That's when we realized you don't need a whole band for comedy, just two guys, and it just seemed the obvious way to go."
While they made their mark worldwide, Chong says they weren't quite as wild as their image would suggest. In fact, his favorite "wild" road story really is just an amusing tale of a surprise celebrity encounter.
"Getting high with George Harrison was pretty incredible. He played guitar on 'Basketball Jones," says Chong. "I got stoned with George one time, got high and started talking. I looked over and the guy next to me was Wally from 'Leave it to Beaver.' That was even more mind-blowing."
While their split was acrimonious, as evidenced by their agreeing to voice a "South Park" skit in 2000 only if they could record at separate times, Chong now adopts a mellow tone in explaining the dissolution of their partnership.
"We had a nice string. Everybody has a string: Eddie Murphy, Jim Carrey, no matter how funny you are it only lasts so long," says Chong.
"Every new generation wants their own heroes. Now if we do 3,4, 5 movies we'll run the string out again," adds Marin.
On the other hand, there's a certain activity that neither comic ever stopped.
"When you get older, you smoke less and less and less because it takes less to have an effect," says Marin. "But stop? Never!"
"I'm still experimenting. I've been experimenting for 50 years and I'll say one thing – you can't get hooked on it," adds Chong with a sly grin. "I do it in my act too, but pot smoking is really unsafe for work because you get so stoned you forget to fuck it up. We should send some more to Washington. Then they'll forget to fuck up the country."
Chong knows plenty about governmental overreach amid the War on Drugs, as he himself was busted for trafficking and served nine months in prison after federal authorities raided his home, even though it was Chong's son Paris who served as the company's CEO and handled nearly all business matters. While he expresses humorous defiance in loudly and proudly proclaiming his renewed use of weed, Chong also detailed the tricky ways in which the prison system strives to make offenders offend again, ensuring a constant flow of money into the system.
"Ironically, I'm invited to give an address for the Democratic person running for Congress in Pittsburgh against the woman who put me in jail," says Chong. "I was really innocent. It was my son's company and technically I was innocent as I can be. The US will invade any country it wants, haha, and so the same goes for messing with your life. It was good research, though, and I'm a writer. They had all the dope you wanted but then they drug test you. Once you're in prison, when you violate their rules, they can give you five extra years with barely an honest hearing, and add more time to your sentence, so I stayed away from it."
Chong claims that, despite seeing Marin in an anti-drug commercial (a charge Marin disputes but admits "not remembering") and a slew of mainstream projects, he never abandoned hope that Marin would be willing to reunite. That hope remained even after the duo had a meeting in which they argued so much they briefly threw out ideas for films.
"My son read an email Cheech sent to me. We'd had a meeting and decided that we're not going to get back together again, but then I hadn't seen my buddy in so long I missed him," Chong says. "I said even though we're not together professionally, we should see each other personally. So my son came up with the idea for the tour."
That tour, which led them across the U.S. as well as Australia and many points in between, proved to be a multi-million dollar smash hit. And it's shown that they're a long, long way from ever calling things off again.
"What brought us back together?" Marin asks. "We got 150 hours of community service knocked off."
"The real answer? M-O-N-E-Y," clarifies Chong. "Our individual careers had petered out, and we said 'we blew it' so let's try it again. The brand was bigger than either one of us, then we both looked at each other and had some stranger running the Cheech and Chong website and making big money selling Tshirts of us. So it's harvest time now, time to bring it all in."
"Cheech & Chong's Hey Watch This" will be released on DVD worldwide on Tuesday, April 20 (natch).

A new honey bee colony is formed when the queen bee leaves the colony with a large group of worker bees, a process called swarming. In the prime swarm, about 60% of the worker bees leave the original hive location with the old queen. This swarm can contain thousands to tens of thousands of bees. Swarming is mainly a spring phenomenon, usually within a two- or three-week period depending on the locale, but occasional swarms can happen throughout the producing season. Secondary after swarms may happen but are rare. After Swarms are usually smaller and are accompanied by one or more virgin queens. Sometimes a beehive will swarm in succession until it is almost totally depleted of workers.
Swarming is the natural means of reproduction of honey bee colonies. In the process of swarming the original single colony reproduces to two and sometimes more colonies. Entomologists consider a colony as a superorganism. A colony with a queen needs a certain colony size to reproduce. An individual queen, drone or bee without a colony cannot survive for long.
To help with the capture of swarming bees, use Swarm Commander Premium Swarm Lure.

The truth is, I have been having a hard time adjusting to my new life– something that did not happen during my transition from high school to undergrad. I suppose I left my undergraduate college expecting life in medical school to be similar; undoubtedly harder, but similar.

Use Online Technology To Its Fullest Potential With A Well-Designed Business Website
Entrepreneurs and business owners love to find new ways to make more money, and the internet is a wide opened marketplace waiting to be harnessed. In a technologically advanced society, every business needs a well-designed, well-managed online presence.
Not only does a company website serve as a mobile store location for the business, it also opens up several other opportunities to boost the organization's visibility. Imagine the possibilities, and read through a few useful ways to use online technology to its fullest potential with a well-designed business website.
Allow the public to get to know the company
Believe it, or not… Web users frequently visit the "About Us" section of a website. People are social by nature, and they typically seek out some human connection when choosing a company with which to conduct business.
The "About Us" page of a website is a place to allow the public a chance to build a human connection with the company. Post short bios featuring some of the organization's leading professionals. It is also a great place to post positive customer testimonials.
Keep the lines of communication opened
Communication is one of the key factors leading to success in business. When customers feel unheard, they will simply find what they need elsewhere. It is important that a business (as a whole) maintains a reputation of clear and concise communications.
Design an interactive "Contact Us" page, along with providing plenty of opportunities for visitors to follow the company on social media. A communication form and a working email address will keep the business connected to its consumers.
Reach your digital arms out wide with an enriching blog
One of the most powerful tools a marketing department has is their ability to reach out to the masses through a collection of blog posts. It is not good business to simply post a bunch of mumbo jumbo to build up content.
Spend time and/or money making sure that the company blog posts represent the intelligence of the professionals who run the place. When more people begin reading the blog, the website (and the business) will reach many more viewers each day.
Elaborate on the company's products and services
A thorough products and services link is a great way to let consumers know just what the company has to offer. If viewers are not aware of what the company is trying to sell, then they have no way of deciding whether or not they wish to purchase said product or service.
Listing specific details and pricing options will bring in more website conversions. Online shopping gives consumers time to browse without pressure from the company's sales representatives.

Now that the site is finished, I felt I needed to get busy and process two cemeteries I photographed last year, but never posted.
While we were in Pennsylvania in March of 2010 (drizzling rain the entire time…) we took a day to investigate the Amish country. If you have never been, you need to schedule some time to investigate this region. Aside from the beautiful green rolling hills and farms, the simple life these people lead is soothing if only to visit for a short time. In our travels, I spotted a very old, classic cemetery and spent a little time evaluating it. There are a couple of very odd images in this collection I think you will find interesting.
The second project is a cemetery outside St. Jo, Texas that I found while searching for a certain Texas oddity to show my wife. Some of the history in this rural Texas necropolis, the final resting place of some Pioneers, is quite interesting.

At the O'Reilly Open Source Conference this summer, Ubuntu creator Mark Shuttleworth urged Linux developers to work toward making desktop Linux better than the Mac OS X, both in terms of aesthetics and in terms of usability. To demonstrate his own commitment to the effort, he said he would be committing Canonical resources to making it happen.
According to a ZDNet UK news story, Shuttleworth is making good on that promise. He announced Wednesday that Canonical will be hiring a team of developers to work specifically on improving the user experience of such software as "X, OpenGL, GTK, Qt, Gnome and KDE." Shuttleworth says usability should be priority one. In a blog post, he wrote:
Partly because of the web-2.0 phenomenon and the iPhone, there's a widely held desire to see FLOSS leap forward in usability and design. We want to participate and help drive that forward.
Interestingly though, this ZDNet UK blog post indicates that open source needs its own version of Steve Jobs for Linux usability to have a chance at reaching the heights Apple has already attained. But since open sourcers are bound to be turned off by the idea of a dictator, the writer suggests this leader will need to teach them how to develop more usable software rather than simply telling them to do so.https://o1.qnsr.com/log/p.gif?;n=203;c=204663295;s=11915;x=7936;f=201904081034270;u=j;z=TIMESTAMP;a=20410779;e=i
Somehow, I don't think that idea would go over very well. The idea of a single decision maker kind of flies in the face of the whole idea of collaboration and community, and that's what open source is all about.
